Chapter 284 Found
On one side of the Yuexi River are small vendors setting up stalls, and on the other side are shops. The shops are connected to each other, and there are only two places leading to the alleys at the back.
One of them was very close, but it was a dead end. On the other side, Gu Yunyi found a loophole, which was very convenient for escape.
It was a large jewelry shop, and unlike other shops, it was a separate building.
"That's not right. The people here just sent someone to chase after him again..."
Gu Yunyi shook his head: "Uncle, what if they didn't run away? But are in these shops?"
"Impossible, who would be so bold? Besides, Magistrate Kang is already searching these shops?"
Gu Yunyi set his eyes on the plaque that read "Golden and Jadeous Hall" and his expression was very solemn.
Jin Yu Man Tang is the largest jewelry store in the city, not only because of the styles it has, but more importantly, there are people behind it.
If Pei Cheng still didn't understand at this moment, he would have really forgotten that he was a member of the Pei family. In his eyes, there was nothing that could not be investigated.
"Someone come! Search for me!" Pei Cheng snorted coldly.
"yes!"
The people brought by Pei Cheng rushed in quickly. There were quite a few people inside, including rich ladies and rich sons. When they saw the soldiers rushing in, their faces immediately became displeased and they cursed.
However, the moment the soldiers drew their swords, no one dared to say a word.
"Sir, Sir, what's going on... Isn't this Lord Pei? Lord Pei, please come in."
Pei Cheng had been here before. He had bought a lot of jewelry here and sent it to the Gu family. His spending was quite large!
How could the shopkeeper not recognize him? However, Pei Cheng's face was already very dark at this time. He glanced at him coldly, and the shopkeeper dared not say anything!
"Everyone, stand still and don't move. Otherwise, I will kill you all right here!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire Jin Yu Man Tang fell into dead silence. Everyone stood there in fear, not daring to breathe.
Zhou Yuanjia and Fang Ziheng hurried over, their faces full of anxiety. They saw Pei Cheng and Gu Yunyi standing in the front at a glance, and roughly guessed that there might be clues related to Xinting's disappearance here.
Zhou Yuanjia walked forward, eager to ask, but he knew that he could only wait at this point, even though he was worried.
People from Peicheng were conducting a thorough search in the jewelry shop. They did not miss any corner, from under the counter filled with exquisite jewelry to the warehouse in the back where the goods were stored.
Those rich ladies and gentlemen who were originally choosing jewelry now stood there trembling, not daring to breathe.
Gu Yunyi stared closely at everyone in the store, trying to find clues from their expressions.
Soon, his eyes stopped on a clerk. The clerk seemed calm, but his eyes kept glancing at a small door deep in the shop. Gu Yunyi winked at Pei Cheng calmly, and Pei Cheng understood.
"Go, bring that fellow to me.
"Pei Cheng gave an order, and two soldiers immediately walked towards the guy.
The man's face turned pale instantly, but he still pretended to be calm and said, "Sir, I didn't do anything. I don't know why you want to arrest me?"
Pei Cheng walked up to him and said coldly, "You'd better tell me the truth. What's behind that door? If you dare to lie, the consequences will be unbearable."
The clerk's legs began to tremble slightly, and then he stammered, "Sir, there's just a small warehouse in the back, nothing special."
Pei Cheng snorted coldly: "Really? Then why do you keep looking over there? Search for me!"
The soldiers received the order and rushed to the small door. When the door was opened, a damp and dark smell hit them.
There were some old boxes and sundries piled inside, but upon closer inspection, there was a wooden board in the corner that seemed to be loose.
The soldiers removed the wooden boards, and a hidden hole appeared before everyone's eyes.
Pei Cheng was the first to enter the cave, followed closely by Gu Yunyi, Zhou Yuanjia and others. The cave was a bit narrow, only allowing one person to pass through, and it was winding like a maze.
They walked cautiously in the cave, and soon they found that it was getting bigger and bigger. All the children and women were knocked unconscious and lying on the bed in all directions.
When Pei Cheng saw this scene, the anger in his heart burned even more fiercely.
Now that the person has been found, the next step is to try the criminal.
but……
After Pei Cheng arranged for people to rescue everyone, Pei Cheng took Gu Yunyi and others out. Looking at the already dark sky, he always felt that something was wrong.
Not to mention Pei Cheng, even Gu Yunyi felt that something seemed to be wrong. He always felt that this matter was not that simple.
At the moment when the two looked at each other, they suddenly heard someone shouting: "That... over there..."
The two of them immediately looked over there, and their expressions changed.
"That's the government office!"
Dream girl!
Yun Sheng and Yun Mo!
Hui Niang and Yuan Bao!
Gu Yunyi and Fang Ziheng ran towards the place where the fire was coming out.
At this time, Zhou Yuanjia was holding the unconscious Xu Xinting and was having the doctor in the clinic treat her. He didn't dare to leave at all.
Pei Cheng was a step late, but he used his Qinggong skills to the extreme at this time and arrived at the government office before Gu Yunyi.
Fortunately, when he arrived at the gate of a government office, he saw Xu Qingmeng and Yun Shengyun Mo standing there, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Sister-in-law, I saw my uncle!" Yun Mo had sharp eyes and spotted Pei Cheng at a glance. He excitedly shook Xu Qingmeng's arm.
Then Gu Yunyi and Fang Ziheng hurried to the gate of the government office.
"Meng Niang!"
"Hui Niang!"
When Gu Yunyi saw Xu Qingmeng's peace of mind, the uneasiness in his heart was slightly relieved.
Fang Ziheng also breathed a sigh of relief the moment he saw his wife and son.
At that moment when everyone was in Peicheng, no one cared about etiquette. They just wanted to know whether their children had been found.
"Master Pei, have you found the person?"
"Master Pei, my daughter is only fourteen..."
Pei Cheng is usually a quiet person, and he was not used to everyone talking at once, but he explained the current situation to everyone.
Gu Yunyi and Fang Ziheng moved closer to their wives.
"Yun Yi, how are you? Where's Xinting?" Xu Qing dreamed that he was sweating profusely, so he raised his hand to wipe the sweat off his forehead and asked anxiously.
"I'm fine. Xinting has been rescued. Zhou Yuanjia is accompanying her to see the doctor now!"
Xu Qingmeng finally felt relieved, and Yun Sheng and Yun Mo also jumped for joy.
Fortunately! Fortunately!
