Metaphysical Talisman Wife Fortune-telling Spirit: Orion eats chaff and I eat meat

A month ago, a box of things sent to the capital by Marquis Weiyuan's men was lost, and the place where the things were lost was in Yongzhou Prefecture.

Peng Shouliang knew about the matter, but he didn't know that this thing belonged to Marquis Weiyuan, let alone that it was so valuable that it alerted Marquis Weiyuan to come and look for it himself.

If he had known this, he would have sent more manpower and increased efforts to find the thief.

But now... Peng Shouliang quickly arranged for manpower.

After he arranged a circle of people, he carefully asked Weiyuan Hou: "I wonder where the Marquis is resting? If I have news, I might as well report it to the Marquis as soon as possible."

Marquis Weiyuan waved his hand: "I like Master Peng's house very well. I'll just wait for news here."

"This... Xiaguan will arrange it now! It's really brilliant that the Marquis is willing to rest in Xiaguan's humble house..." Peng Shouliang was shocked as he quickly asked the master to arrange the best courtyard.

Waiting for news here? !
How precious is this thing?

If it was gold, silver and jewelry, I would have said so at the beginning.

But the person who came to report the crime only said that a box was missing, but did not say what was inside. It was obviously not ordinary gold and silver jewelry.

Could it be some important token? !
If Marquis Weiyuan can come in person, this token must be very important to Marquis Weiyuan!

Peng Shouliang's political sense was still very strong, so he immediately asked his master to send more manpower to investigate again.

Weiyuan Hou had already walked out of the Songzhu Hall: "I think this house is very beautiful. Is it okay to take a look?"

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter..." Peng Shouliang wiped the sweat from his forehead and hurriedly led the way.

The steward had already gone down to clear the place, as he was afraid of bumping into the distinguished guests.

But at this moment, hurried footsteps came all the way from the backyard: "Daddy! Daddy! Please spare my mother! Please spare my mother..."

It was Peng Jiayu who came crying to beg for mercy when she heard that her mother was going to be sent to the family temple.

Marquis Weiyuan paused and looked over there.

The sweat on Peng Shouliang's forehead became even more intense.

This thing, which has failed to achieve success but is prone to failure, is now in front of the distinguished guests, and the private matters in the back house that cannot be brought to the table should also be brought to the attention of the Marquis?

If I bump into Marquis Weiyuan, and Marquis Weiyuan returns to the capital, and if I say a few words in front of the imperial concubine and His Majesty, I will have no hope of promotion in my life!
"How presumptuous! Didn't you see that this distinguished guest is here? Why don't you back down!" Peng Shouliang shouted sternly while winking at the butler next to him.

The housekeeper received the message and hurriedly stepped forward to stop him: "Second Miss, this is a distinguished guest. Please go back to the backyard first and see you again when the adults are finished..."

How could Peng Jiayu care?

Her mother was almost being dragged away and stuffed into the carriage. If she waited, it would not be easy to bring her back when she really went to the family temple!
The distinguished guest is right in front of him. If dad is afraid of being entangled, he can just let go and save mom. She would be a fool not to take advantage of this God-given opportunity!

So Peng Jiayu became even more desperate, rushing over while begging cowardly.

"Dad, even if mother has done something wrong, she has been with you for more than ten years. If you don't look at the monk's face or the Buddha's face, just keep her... From now on, my daughter will definitely accompany her mother well, and she will never do anything wrong again. wrong……"

The beauty shed tears because she wanted to save her mother. Marquis Weiyuan couldn't help but look over: "This is..."

Peng Shouliang, like a good man, saw clearly at a glance. His heart moved and he hurriedly said: "This is my little girl, her maiden name is Jiayu. Jiayu, I haven't met the Marquis yet!" "I have met the Marquis! Jiayu is in a hurry. , I bumped into the Marquis, please forgive me!" Peng Jiayu hurriedly kowtowed, the awe in his eyes undisguised when he saw the strong man.

Marquis Weiyuan stretched out his hand to give her some support: "Get up. It's filial piety to plead for my mother. What's the crime?"

Peng Shouliang coughed: "Now that the Marquis has spoken, your mother will forget about this and must go back to the house to reflect!"

"Thank you, Lord Marquis! Thank you, dad!" Peng Jiayu immediately thanked Weiyuan Marquis again.

The beauty was in tears, but her face was full of gratitude. Marquis Weiyuan smiled even more gently: "No need to be polite, go back and accompany your mother."

Peng Jiayu glanced at Marquis Weiyuan with tears in her eyes. Although this Marquis was a little older, his appearance was really good-looking, and he was not as fat as his father. He looked very tall and tall...

Peng Jiayu's face turned red, and after saluting, he turned and left.

Marquis Weiyuan watched Peng Jiayu go away, and Peng Shouliang watched Marquis Weiyuan send him off, his heart suddenly settled.

It has been more than half a month since the missing item was lost. I sent people to check it before, but there was no news. It can be seen that it is not easy to find it.

Just now when Marquis Weiyuan said he wanted to wait for news in the mansion, Peng Shouliang was worried that if he couldn't find it, he would be blamed by Marquis Weiyuan, but now...

Peng Shouliang had some calculations and his smile became even brighter: "Master Marquis, please..."

Marquis Weiyuan waved his hand: "Don't accompany me anymore. I'm just strolling around. You just go to work. If you have news, call me back."

Peng Shouliang only said that Marquis Weiyuan was worried and hurriedly agreed to go, leaving a steward to follow Marquis Weiyuan and Si Kouwei from afar.

When Peng Shouliang walked away, the gentle look on Marquis Weiyuan's face also faded. He glanced at the steward who was following him from a distance and confirmed that he was out of earshot at this distance. Then he asked Si Kouwei in a low voice: "Can his people be found? ?”

How can Si Kouwei guarantee that?He smiled bitterly and said: "If his people can't be found, maybe only your people can find him. After all, he is the parent official of this place."

Weiyuan Hou thought about it, and it was the same.

The fists behind his back were clenched and relaxed, his posture was as tall and straight as ever, and he strolled forward.

Chen Huaijin was led by a steward to a side hall to sit and drink tea. The steward probably thought that there was no benefit in accompanying Chen Huaijin, so he left in a hurry and never came back.

He had been waiting for a long time and was inevitably anxious. He was thinking about going out to find a boy to go to the backyard to send a message and ask how long it would take for his wife to come out. Unexpectedly, as soon as he came out, he ran into Weiyuan Hou face to face.

The distance between them was only five meters, and both parties were a little stunned and stayed on the spot.

When the steward who was following from a distance saw this, he was so frightened that he rushed over and yelled: "You are in front of the distinguished guest, why don't you leave quickly! Why are you so indifferent!"

Chen Huaijin seemed not to have heard this. He took a deep look at Weiyuan Hou, bowed silently, made a junior salute, turned around and left.

The steward explained in a panic: "Master Qi, this is from outside. I didn't know in advance that the Marquis was coming. I bumped into the Marquis. Please forgive me..."

Marquis Weiyuan raised his hand to stop the steward's chatter: "What is his identity?"

"He is... he is... he is the husband-in-law of Mrs. Xiao whom my wife invited today. He is a hunter, his name is... Chen Huaijin."

"Hunter?!" Marquis Weiyuan's voice contained no emotion or anger, but was much colder than before.
