Xiao Xixi followed the prince into the Dong family's mansion. Two small eunuchs followed in, while Yu Linwei stayed outside the gate.

The party entered the flower hall.

The prince sat down on the main seat, and Xiao Xi knelt down on his side.

The others stood with low eyebrows and dared not move.

The servant girls brought up the best tea in the family, put it in front of the prince, and then retired silently.

Xiao Xi first looked at the prince and saw that he had no objection. Then he stretched out his hand, picked up a cake and ate it with relish.

Dong Mingchun asked carefully.

"Your Highness suddenly came to my humble house. Do you have any important orders?"

Luo QingHan glanced at his right arm.

Dong Mingchun's right arm was wrapped in gauze and hung on his chest. Coupled with his pale and uneasy appearance, he looked very poor.

Luo QingHan said, "Gu already knows what happened last night. I came to see you this time. One is to visit you, the other is to ask you something."

Dong Mingchun was a sensible man. He knew what the Prince wanted to ask, so he winked at the sons behind him.

The three sons understood and immediately withdrew with interest.

Two small eunuchs also silently withdrew from the flower hall and stood under the corridor, one left and one right, keeping others away.

There are only three people left in the spacious flower Hall: the prince, Xiao Xixi and Dong Mingchun.

Dong Mingchun knelt down again, supported the ground with one hand and knocked his head at the prince.

"Thanks to your Highness's clever plan, General Zhao was asked to take people to secretly protect Weichen in advance, which saved Weichen's dog life. There was no reward for saving his life. Weichen was willing to be a cow and horse for your highness!"

Luo QingHan said faintly, "it's not necessary to be an ox or a horse. First tell Gu why those killers are staring at you?"

Dong Mingchun straightened up and said with a bitter face.

"It should start with Weichen's wife..."

Dong Mingchun's wife's maiden name is Lin.

Lin's personality is honest and gentle. She has a good reputation in the circle of aristocratic wives. She and Dong Mingchun are young couples with deep feelings.

Lin Shi is good at everything, but he admires the theory of ghosts and gods,

She often goes to temples, Taoist temples and other places. She has to burn incense and worship Buddha on the first 15 days of the lunar new year. If she wants to do anything important, she must first go to the temple to ask for a sign and ask the Bodhisattva for his meaning.

Not long ago, Lin's acquaintance introduced her to a sect called Dusheng religion. Then she indulged in it and ran out into the world.

At first, Dong Mingchun didn't take this matter to heart. He thought Lin was just fresh for a while. After this freshness, she should return to normal.

Who would have thought that Lin disappeared three days ago!

Dong Mingchun asked his servants to search the whole Shengjing City, but they couldn't find her whereabouts.

When Dong Mingchun was so anxious, he suddenly received a mysterious letter.

In the letter, the other party said that if he wanted Lin to go home safely, Dong Mingchun had to take 3000 liang of silver tickets alone to Shiliting outside the city, where there would be signs. At that time, he could reach his destination as long as he followed the signs.

At that time, both sides will pay money and people.

One of Lin's Earrings was attached to the letter, which proved that Lin was indeed in the other party's hand.

Dong Mingchun was very worried about Lin's safety. He dared not report to the official for fear that Lin would be torn up.

So he took the silver ticket to Shiliting.

He found the arrow mark in Shiliting, and then followed the mark into the grove. Who had expected that he not only failed to see Lin, but also almost took his life in.

Speaking of this, Dong Mingchun can not help feeling afraid.

Fortunately, Zhao Xian came in time, otherwise he would be completely cold now.

Luo QingHan asked, "since the other party is just looking for money, why kill you?"

Dong Mingchun shook his head: "Weichen also can't understand this."

Luo QingHan thought to himself that if those killers really came from Dusheng sect, it means that Dusheng sect is not simple. They not only seek money, but also dare to assassinate imperial court officials. If these malignant tumors cannot be removed, they will become a great scourge.

He asked, "how much do you know about Watson?"

Dong Mingchun thought about it and said, "this is a sect that has just emerged recently. Many wives and ladies of official families are believers of Dusheng sect. Even some aristocratic families have been attracted to the past. I Jing also entered Dusheng sect through the introduction of acquaintances."

He paused here and looked at concubine Xiao carefully.

"The person who introduced me to Dusheng religion was Mrs. Xiao, a loyal military general."

Xiao Xi's action of eating a meal.

She raised her head and looked surprised: "my mother?"

Dong Mingchun was afraid to annoy her and spoke very carefully.

"I have a good relationship with Mrs. Xiao. I often go to the temple to burn incense and worship Buddha together. Not long after Mrs. Xiao became a believer of Dusheng religion, she brought me in. I told Wei Chen these things, and Wei Chen didn't know the specific details."

Xiao Xixi didn't expect that Xue Shi was also involved in this matter.

Luo QingHan said, "have you ever asked Mrs. Xiao?"

Dong Mingchun said strangely.

"After learning that I Jing was missing, Wei Chen immediately went to the loyal military general's house and asked Mrs. Xiao about Dusheng religion. But Mrs. Xiao refused to say a word. She also stressed that Dusheng religion teaches people to be kind and there can never be kidnapping and extortion. There must be a misunderstanding. After all, Mrs. Xiao is the general's wife. She insisted on not saying it, and Wei Chen can't force her."

Luo QingHan turned to Xiao Xi and asked in a low voice, "can you figure out the whereabouts of Mrs. Dong?"

Xiao Qixi: "I need her birthday."

Luo QingHan asked Dong Mingchun to say the eight characters of Lin's birthday.

Dong Mingchun was very confused. He didn't understand why the prince suddenly asked about the eight characters of Lin's birthday, but he honestly said the eight characters of Lin's birthday.

Xiao Xi closed her eyes and calculated silently.

She could feel darkness and drowsiness, and a flood of fear.

These are Lin's feelings at this time.

Xiao Xi opened her eyes, her face turned white and her body shook.

Luo QingHan asked her to lean on herself.

Xiao Xi whispered in his ear.

"Outside Shengjing City, in the village at the foot of Qishan mountain, Lin's family was hidden in a cellar in the village. It was dark around. She should have been drugged. She was in a coma all the time, but she felt no pain. She must not have been injured. She was safe for the time being."

Luo QingHan immediately asked someone to inform Yu Linwei.

As Zhao Xian is still recovering from his injury, the leader of the team this time is Shang Kui, deputy commander of Yu Linwei.

Shang Kui rode out of the city with two hundred jade guards and went straight to Qishan.

Xiao Xixi was uncomfortable because of the sequelae of empathy. She leaned against the crown prince and fell asleep involuntarily.

Dong Mingchun didn't understand why the prince asked people to go to Qishan. He didn't dare to ask anything. He could only kneel quietly in the flower hall.

The flower hall was silent for a time.

About two hours passed.

Shang Kui came back with the jade guards.

He strode into the flower hall and knelt on one knee.

"Report back to your highness. General Mo took people to search all the villages at the foot of Qi Mountain. No Watanabe was found."
