Chapter 146 There is news

Someone said hastily, "Sorry, I entered the wrong room. Goodbye!"

Before Qingyun could ask, the person left in a hurry.

Pei Xia immediately opened the door to check, but no one was there.

Su He knew that someone in the capital must have known about his actions. After all, Queen Guo had been sending people to monitor Lu Huaihe, and it was possible that there would be spies in the Princess's mansion.

The person who knocked on the door might have come to inquire about the news.

"Maybe our whereabouts have been exposed, and we can't stay here any longer."

Pei Xia immediately packed his luggage and began to look for other places to stay.

Qingyun, who had searched outside, brought back a new piece of news.

Before Lu Huaihe went to the waterfront, he had met Guo Fei's wife. The wife's surname was Du, and her name was Du Erniang. Her previous name in the palace was Hongmei.

"After the master disappeared, Mrs. Du was beaten every two days. It is said that Guo Fei was particularly cold to her, and he would beat and scold her at any time, and he was never soft-hearted."

Lu Huaihe was only focused on investigating the case. I think Guo Fei mistakenly thought that the two of them had something in common, or discovered Lu Huaihe's purpose of approaching Mrs. Du.

Su He continued to ask: "What about the other two doctors? Have you heard any news?"

Qingyun shook his head, "We should find another place to live now. When I passed by the Guo Mansion today, I saw that there was no one in the mansion next to it. I think we can stay there. If we can get in touch with Madam Du and find out what happened that day..."

He paused in the middle of his words.

Su He knew in his heart that Du Er Niang was in a dangerous place and her life could be in danger if she was not careful. She would not be willing to contact them.

Besides, the three of them were weak and powerless. Even if Du Er Niang was willing, they might not be able to save her.

Thinking of this, her eyes moved.

"Qingyun, do you remember what the prince's edict looks like?"

"The prince...edict?"

In order not to expose his whereabouts, Qingyun asked Su He to secretly leave the inn that night, and let Pei Xia stay in the inn, pretending that there was someone in the room, and eating and living as usual.

On the third day, Pei Xia tried to sneak out of the inn and threw the worthless luggage in the room to create the illusion that someone was there.

Qingyun was outside every day to get information, and after four days of stability, he finally found a clue.

"It's less than a hundred meters outside the reservoir. My subordinates found this."

Su He took a closer look and stood up immediately, with a glimmer of hope in his eyes: "Is this a hair crown? It's his, for sure. Is there anything else besides it?"

"Nothing else."

Lu Huaihe wore this hair crown when he left the capital. Although it is a little worn out now, it is definitely his from the style.

Since the thing is near the reservoir, the person should be nearby too. At

the very least, even if it is a corpse, it won't be too far away.

Su He touched his slightly bulging belly, holding the hair crown with mixed feelings.

"The person must be nearby. Qingyun, find a few people to search nearby. Once you find relevant clues, come back and report to me immediately."

"An open search?" Qingyun was a little worried: "Our whereabouts are not easy to be exposed. What if we get into trouble..."

Su He said firmly: "It's okay. I have thought of a way out. You just do as I tell you."

Qingyun saw that she was not joking, and thought of the prince's edict she mentioned a few days ago. She couldn't help but feel a little suspicious, but it was urgent to find the adults, and she couldn't delay any longer...

After a brief thought, she went out to find people to search.

The East City Reservoir is very large. Qingyun quickly gathered more than ten people and searched carefully along the two banks of the water. If they found any clues, they would report them immediately.

Su He stood in the courtyard, wearing a fox fur cloak and staring blankly.

Pei Xia placed the warm hand warmer in her palm and said soothingly: "Don't worry, madam, the master will be fine."

Su He's eyes trembled and she nodded softly.

The news that Qingyun was looking for someone immediately caused a stir in Yanzhou City.

Guo Fei had received the news a long time ago and knew that Lu Huaihe's wife was in the city. Now that he heard that they were looking for Lu Huaihe openly, he no longer concealed it and brought his subordinates to the reservoir.

"This little brother, are you from the capital? Guo is curious, what are you looking for?"

Across the half-person-high reeds, Guo Fei took a liking to Qingyun at first sight. The unfamiliar face from the capital was easy to recognize.

As soon as he spoke, everyone except Qingyun stopped what they were doing.

The helpers Qingyun had found were all from Yanzhou, so they were naturally afraid of offending Guo Fei. They looked at each other and gathered around him.

Qingyun had known this would happen.

"Master Guo, this is our first meeting. I am sorry for being rude."

Guo Fei looked him up and down, and when he saw the heroic spirit between his eyebrows, he thought of Lu Huaihe's face unconsciously.

I heard that this was the kid he brought up?

Guo Fei ignored him. Instead, he turned to the other helpers who were searching and asked contemptuously, "What are you looking for?"

The helpers did not dare to answer.

Qingyun said: "Lord Lu Huaihe has lost his trace here. I have been ordered to look for him. If I have offended Lord Guo by mistake, please forgive me!"

Guo Fei's eyes showed a stern look, with a hint of warning. All the people Qingyun had called immediately scattered.

Seeing this, he was particularly proud and looked down at Qingyun: "Brother, you are looking for someone? Did you find the wrong place? Half a month ago, I sent people to search the reservoir inside and outside, and did not see any trace of Lord Lu. I guess the body must have drifted to the sea with the current. Today, brother, you are looking for someone here without my knowledge. Isn't it announcing to the world that I arbitrarily determined the cause of Lord Lu's death?"

"I didn't think so. It's really strange that Lord Lu disappeared..."

"Huh? Strange? You may not know that Lord Lu did not fall into the water because he was checking the floating corpses in the reservoir." Guo Fei slightly raised his chin, with an arrogant and extremely contemptuous look, "If he had not deliberately seduced my wife, I would not have chased him here in a panic. He did something shameful and was afraid of being held accountable, so he jumped into the reservoir. I took into account our respective face and used the excuse of checking the floating corpses. Little brother, as a subordinate, if you continue to pursue the matter, I'm afraid your master will lose all his face!"

"My master would never do that! You are slandering him!"

Guo Fei pressed him, "Human greed is like a snake swallowing an elephant. How do you know he won't? Or are you the roundworm in his stomach, and you know everything he does?"

"I..." Qingyun was speechless and couldn't find a word to refute for a moment.

Guo Fei was proud of this and secretly winked at the people around him, and someone wanted to step forward and grab Qingyun.

"Stop!"

A clear and beautiful female voice rang out.

Qingyun turned around and saw that it was Su He walking towards him. Her beautiful eyebrows were tinged with a layer of coldness, and her expression was more serious than ever before.

Guo Fei looked in the direction of the voice and was stunned by her beauty for a moment.
