The wealthy tycoon wants to be the white moonlight of the little village girl

Yao Yuntao waved his hand and said, "Go and tell the Madam to call the servants in the backyard to line up in the front yard so that the yamen runners can identify the person."

"Yes."

The housekeeper turned and left the study, went to the back house and told the gatekeeper what had happened, and the gatekeeper reported it to Madam Yao.

Mrs. Yao nodded in agreement and asked the maid to take people to the front yard.

After carefully comparing the appearances of the people one by one, the yamen runners found that there was no one as described in the notice, so they asked, "Is everyone here?"

The old woman said, "Except for two people who asked for leave and one who was sick, basically everyone is here."

The bailiff asked, "Where is the sick man?"

"I'm recuperating in the lower room."

"Take me there to have a look!"

The yamen runner followed the old woman to the lower room and saw a woman lying on the kang with a quilt covering her. He ordered, "Pull down the quilt so I can see!"

The old woman stepped forward and said, "Mrs. Hua Zhen, the government is here to search for someone. Let the official see what you look like..."

As he spoke, he pulled the quilt down and said, "Sir, please take a look..."

After the bailiff walked over and took a closer look, he found that the person did not match the one on the notice, so he waved his hand and turned away.

The bailiff came to the front yard and told the situation to the leading captain of the police. After the captain of the police asked the housekeeper for the addresses of the two maids who had asked for leave, he left with a team of people.

The next day.

The guard came to the study and reported: "Sir, the government searched the Yao Mansion yesterday, but did not find Li's whereabouts."

"No?" Jiang Yaonian frowned, and after a moment's silence, he said, "Then he may have escaped from the capital. Ask the government to issue a notice and hunt him down!"

Suddenly, a guard came in and reported: "Sir, the palace has sent a eunuch to summon you to the palace!"

Jiang Yaonian was stunned, "Summon me to the palace?"

"Yes, I told you to go right away."

"understood."

Jiang Yaonian stood up and came to Songyin Pavilion under the guidance of Sun Li. The eunuch hurried forward and saluted, saying, "Mr. Jiang, His Majesty summons you to the palace to see him immediately."

Jiang Yaonian said calmly: "Okay."

After arriving at the palace, the chief eunuch Qin Ruihai came up to him with a smile on his face and said, "Mr. Jiang, please follow me! His Majesty is waiting for you in the imperial study."

Jiang Yaonian nodded and followed him to the imperial study.

The emperor was shocked when he saw him like this, and asked hurriedly: "Yao Nian, what's wrong with your eyes?"

"It's just a minor injury. I wonder why Your Majesty summoned me here?"

The emperor cleared his throat and said, "It's like this. Zhen'an came to tell me that you took Jingying and her daughter away. Is this true?"

Jiang Yaonian said calmly, "No."

Prince Jing, who was sitting nearby, shouted angrily, "Jiang Yaonian, don't lie in front of my brother! Many of my servants saw you leading the guards to surround the palace that night and forcibly took Ying'er away! You said that if anything happened to your wife, Ying'er would pay for her life!"

Jiang Yaonian smiled and said, "Your Highness, I heard that your daughter killed the second son of Minister Li's family, and the body was dug out from the woods of the palace... Could it be that she was afraid of paying with her life, so she found a place to hide?"

Prince Jing was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, "Nonsense! It was obviously you who took Ying'er away! The servants in my house all saw it, you can't deny it!"

Jiang Yaonian said calmly: "Then the people in my house can testify that I didn't bring the princess back!"

Prince Jing sneered and said, "Don't think that just because the princess and Yuying don't like Jingying, no one will testify for me! Just let me bring people to search your house, and I will definitely find Ying'er!"

Jiang Yaonian came with a gloomy face: "My wife has been unwell recently and cannot be disturbed. Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

Prince Jing curled his lips and said, "Then you are guilty!"

Jiang Yaonian ignored him.

Prince Jing turned to look at the emperor and said, "Brother, please make the decision for me!"

The emperor hesitated for a moment, then said hesitantly: "Yao Nian, why don't you let him go and take a look?"

Jiang Yaonian said indifferently: "Your Majesty, my home is not a vegetable market, you can come and go as you please!"

Prince Jing shouted, "That means you are guilty!"

The emperor asked, "Zhen'an, what if you go there and don't find the person?"

Jiang Yaonian frowned. The emperor was obviously favoring his younger brother!

Prince Jing said confidently: "Brother, if I don't find her after I go there, I will be willing to be punished!" Then he burst into tears and said: "I just pity my Ying'er... After so many days of torture, I don't know if she is still alive..."

The emperor thought for a moment and said, "Well, if you find Jingying and she is safe and sound, then this matter will be over and you don't need to pursue it."

Prince Jing glared and said, "What? Brother, aren't you biased? He has detained Jingying for so many days, who knows if he has done anything shameless! Poor Ying'er, a pure and innocent girl, has been under house arrest for so many days! If this news gets out, how can she get married?"

"Then you mean..."

"Since the matter has been settled, I have no other requests. Just let Ying'er become the young lady of the Jiang family!"

The emperor frowned and said, "You need to discuss this with Yao Nian. I can't do anything about it!"

Jiang Yaonian said coldly: "What if the prince can't find the person?"

Prince Jing said firmly: "Then we will do whatever you say!"

Seeing how tough he was, Jiang Yaonian was slightly shocked, and then he said calmly: "Okay, if you can't find her, please ask your majesty to ask Yingtian Prefecture to issue a warrant to arrest the princess nationwide, and then kill her according to the court law!"

As soon as these words came out, Prince Jing couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, trembling all over and pointing at Jiang Yaonian, saying: "Jiang Yaonian, you are so cruel! Jingying just loves you deeply and wants to marry you, but you want her life!"

Jiang Yaonian sneered, "If it weren't for her, my wife wouldn't have disappeared for no reason! And she died several times! And the young master of the Li family, I heard that he had always treated Jingying as a brother, but in the end he died at her hands. The prince loves his own daughter like a jewel in his palm, but treats other people's wives and children like grass. That's why he allowed Jingying to be so bold and cruel, right?"

The emperor looked at Prince Jing and said, "Zhen'an, do you agree to this condition?"

Prince Jing hesitated for a while, then gritted his teeth and stamped his feet and said, "Forget it! That's it! But we must take people to search now to prevent Jiang Yaonian from moving Jingying away."

The emperor nodded and said, "Okay! I will send someone to go with you now!"

Prince Jing stood up and said, "Don't bother me, my brother. I can go there myself!"

Before entering the palace today, Prince Jing had already told the guards in the mansion that whoever could find the princess would be rewarded with 5,000 taels of gold and silver each, plus a three-story courtyard and several maids and servants!

When the guards, martial artists, servants, and yardmen in the palace heard this, they were so excited that they rubbed their hands, ready to make a fortune and receive this generous reward!
