In the era before surveillance, everything was a blind spot.
However, if there were surveillance cameras, Sun Sanlang's situation would be much easier to handle.
Minister Zheng: I must find my daughter no matter what, at all costs.
[Granny Sun: What on earth is going on? Please think of a solution! I'm so worried!]
Minister Zheng appeared calm and collected as he read the words, but inwardly he was panicking. "But what did the young waiter say they went to the west of the city for?"
This is called knowing yourself and your enemy, and you will never be defeated.
"I inquired, and the servants said they might have gone to the West Market to look for someone. This morning, it's been all over the place, saying there was a murder in the West Market last night..."
"Continue," Minister Zheng urged impatiently. Granny Sun sighed and continued, "She said a gambling addict named Sun San died in the West Market. The authorities caught him red-handed and quickly arrested three female suspects..."
Minister Zheng was surprised and couldn't help but connect the "three suspects" with He Yi, Qing Ju, and Liu Yun. After all, it was generally impossible for three female suspects to appear at the same time in Xishi.
Granny Sun's lips trembled violently, and she was about to cry out, "This old servant went to inquire, and they said that the three female suspects' features are very similar to those of the princess and her two companions!"
What else could this be but a bolt from the blue?
"What?!"
Minister Zheng suddenly stood up. He Yi... a murder case?
Minister Zheng immediately became anxious and turned to his steward, Gong Shu, to order, "Quickly! Prepare the horses! Go to the Jingzhao Prefecture! Go quickly to the young master, find him, and tell him that no matter where he is right now, he must come to the Jingzhao Prefecture and meet me immediately!"
Since Minister Zheng fell ill, he has been staying at home and hasn't gone out for a long time. This is the first time he has gone out this month, for He Yi.
Seeing Minister Zheng stagger out the door, the old steward, Gong Shu, was terrified and hurriedly went inside to get a cane or something similar. "Master, this is no joke. You're not feeling well, and if you go out like this now, we'll be in danger!"
"He Yi might have been arrested now, what am I still considering? I'm an old man, what am I afraid of? Hurry up and prepare, let's set off right now." Minister Zheng was extremely anxious and coughed.
Seeing that he had no chance of persuading the master, Gong Shu hurriedly went to make preparations, and soon everyone left the Minister's residence in a hurry.
In crucial moments, you still have to rely on your dad.
[In fact, Minister Zheng already knew that He Yi was not "Sui'er," but he still treated He Yi very well.]
I'm so touched.
Since the incident some time ago, Minister Zheng knew He Yi's identity, but no matter what, He Yi had been completely unmoved by gold and silver jewelry in the previous tests.
Secondly, Minister Zheng genuinely regarded He Yi as his son and daughter, and now that this matter had happened to He Yi, he naturally could not ignore it.
Minister Zheng hurriedly went out to find out what was going on.
Meanwhile, inside the Zhengtianxiangfang shop.
Ms. Lin hadn't slept all night, and although she was ready to open for business, she was in a bad state, yawning repeatedly.
After seeing the young shop assistant open the shop, she habitually sat down on the bench at the entrance. Now, the bustling scene across the street only made her business seem even more deserted. Looking at the group of people who came to Zhiweitang to buy pastries, Lin felt extremely irritable.
She turned around and said, "Granny Zhao, go find Yutang and talk to me. That brat, didn't she come back last night? It's already past noon and she's still not up! She's a real bloodsucker, just like her uncle. Tell her to get up and get to work!"
Zhao Mama dared not delay and hurriedly went to Zheng Yutang's room in the backyard. But she came out soon after, and from her tense and frightened expression, Lin Shi knew that something was wrong.
What? Zheng Yutang didn't come home last night?
[Tsk tsk, what a perfect husband! Young Master Zhou is a wolf in sheep's clothing. It's just a pity that the Lin family is still dreaming.]
Granny Zhao hurriedly told the truth: "This old servant went to look for the second young lady, but there was no one in the room."
"No one's here?" Indeed, Zhao Mama had just arrived at Zheng Yutang's small house and knocked on the door for a long time, but there was no response from inside.
At that moment, Granny Zhao arrived and told Madam Lin what had happened. Madam Lin was furious. "How could this be? She likes to cause trouble outside, but she always comes back. Today is really strange. Come, let's go and see."
Ms. Lin was already in a bad mood, and she completely transformed into the image of a menopausal old woman.
At this moment, he walked ahead, cursing and swearing, while Granny Zhao followed behind with her head down and meekly. The two of them arrived at Zheng Yutang's room one after the other.
Madam Lin gave Zhao Mama a look, and Zhao Mama pushed open the door, only to find the room empty!
The bed was made neatly, which showed that Zheng Yutang hadn't come back at all last night. When Lin saw this, she also felt strange. She had told Zheng Yutang that no matter what, she should come back at night.
Moreover, that young master Zhou comes from a prominent family. How can it be that he's already messing around outside before getting married?
And every time I said this to Zheng Yutang, she actually listened and did it. But what happened last night?
Lin approached the bed and reached out to pull the blanket. There were indeed signs that no one had lived there. As she looked at it, an ominous premonition suddenly welled up in her heart.
She almost thought Zheng Yutang and Young Master Zhou had left. She hurriedly opened the cabinet to check and found that some of Zheng Yutang's favorite clothes were still there, but the silver she had given him earlier had disappeared.
Seeing this, Madam Lin frowned and stamped her foot. "This is outrageous! She's grown up! That wretched girl! Could it be that she ran off with that pretty boy surnamed Zhou?"
Lin was furious and immediately began to curse.
"What an ungrateful wretch! I've gone to great lengths to get here from the Minister's residence, and you just left without even saying goodbye! Granny Zhao, go and look around the neighborhood. If you can find her, I'll skin her alive!"
She roared angrily, and upon hearing this, Granny Zhao rushed out of the shop and began to carefully search the nearby places where Zheng Yutang usually frequented.
They went to cosmetic shops, teahouses, taverns, and even many of the places that Young Master Zhou had taken Zheng Yutang to before, but the response was always the same: "We servants did not see Miss Zheng."
When Granny Zhao returned, she recounted her ordeal, and upon hearing this, Madam Lin felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave.
Her heart slowly sank into the abyss. It was really strange. She had just thought about it. Although Yu Tang was vain and liked to fool around with shady men, she had inherited this trait from her.
