The Salty Little Cannon Fodder Was Targeted By the Prince

Chapter 211 Who is the other party trying to harm?

Du Wan didn't notice his change, "Prince Pei, people in this world are having a hard time. What do you think?"

Pei Hao thought about it for a moment before saying: "That is something that the emperor should be concerned about. I am a minister and I just have to do my duty." The little girl really dared to ask anything.

Du Wan was surprised, "Do you really think so? As an official of the imperial court, shouldn't you take the world as your own responsibility?"

 “It is also the emperor’s business to take the world as his own responsibility.”

“…”Everything is the emperor’s business, do you want your ministers to eat your shit?

Du Wan just thought about this in his heart.

She has no control over the affairs of the world.

 But she can take care of her own affairs in Zhuangzi.

Du Wan continued walking inside.

 When we got to the fields, we happened to see some people working hard.

There was a middle-aged man, carrying a hoe, walking around the field, and from time to time directing some people to work. When he saw Du Wan and others, he quickly dropped his hoe, came over in fear, knelt down and saluted.

　　Du Wan saw that he was dressed in short clothes and his legs and feet were covered in mud. He looked like a loyal and honest man. The pair of rough hands lying on the ground must be from someone who works frequently.

Du Wan now dispelled the fact that he was an oppressive Zhuangtou, "You must be Steward Shi. Yes, it's hard work. Zhuangzi's output this year will be used to improve everyone's lives, and try to keep everyone fed and clothed..." Renovate the houses again. Some that are uninhabitable can be demolished and rebuilt."

"Thank you, Princess." Manager Shi was very excited and kowtowed repeatedly.

Given Du Wan's identity, these few words are enough for Steward Shi to show off for a lifetime. In the future, he will be a person praised by the princess. Can he be unhappy?

Du Wan didn’t stay long.

The little girl in Pei Hao's eyes began to walk aimlessly.

 Let’s take a look here and there for a while.

 While walking, he left Zhuangzi again and arrived at the mountain spring.

Beside the mountain spring is the peach grove.

Du Wan's big eyes flashed, "This village is a bit rundown, but the scenery is very nice. Take a look at the clear mountain spring water. It will definitely be sweet to take a sip."

Pei Hao watched her jumping up and down with a smile.

 The little girl must have a purpose for coming here.

However, he couldn't see through her purpose. What was she going to do?

 The most interesting thing is that the little girl thought she was hiding well and did not know that her behavior was suspicious.

Du Wan slipped into the peach forest.

 Wander around inside and come out again.

 with peaches picked in half, leaving a few scattered on the treetops.

Before Pei Hao thought the little girl was leaving, she walked inside again, this time walking slower, as if she was measuring something. He had been following the little girl's footsteps patiently, step by step, until she suddenly stopped and looked at a peach tree in front of her in a daze.

 Returned to the original place.

He continued to measure, and then stopped in front of the peach tree.

This is repeated, back and forth five times.

Pei Hao’s guess was correct.

Du Wan was indeed measuring the distance with her feet.

 According to the description in the book, there are seven peach trees, and the distance between each one is the same.

 Beside the tree in the middle, you can find the entrance to the underground treasure house.

Du Wan did these things without avoiding Pei Hao. She was sure that even if he thought her behavior was suspicious, he would not be able to guess her purpose, let alone the treasure under the tree.

Just as Du Wan thought, Pei Hao did not guess her intentions.

 “I’m going back.” Du Wan walked out of the peach forest. Pei Hao smiled and followed.

In the past, he would have thought he was crazy for silently following a little girl all day long. He even felt in a good mood.

　　Du Wan did not stay in Zhuangzi for long, and returned directly to the city.

Pei Hao followed again.

 After sending Du Wan back to the princess's residence, he then transferred to the Imperial City Si Yamen.

Du Wan first went back to Yulingyuan to change into a set of clothes, and then went to the main courtyard to see the eldest princess. It was still early at this time, and Prince Consort Du had not yet gone to the office. After asking, he learned that Du Qian had not returned home from yesterday to now, and had been hunting the murderer.

Du Wan asked the eldest princess, "Mom, will eldest brother be in danger? You don't have to do it yourself to catch people."

"It's a good thing that you are worried about your eldest brother, but there are some things that he needs to do by himself. How can he grow up if he has not experienced difficulties and dangers?"

 “Then that’s not what you said to me.”

"You are a girl, so you have to be pampered. Boys have to be able to withstand beatings and falls. Otherwise, how can you support the sky in the future and protect your family from wind and rain?"

“…” For the first time, Du Wan was thankful that she was a girl.

 Being a man is so tiring! No, it's really dangerous. I want to express my sympathy to the cheap brother in real name.

 Go back to Yulingyuan.

Du Wan resumed his cultivation.

Practice every day, nine movements can barely be completed together, and only the last one is left.

Du Wan, who was practicing specifically, didn't know that Pei Hao was holding an informant letter over at the Imperial City's Yamen and frowned, "Si'an, do you think the content in this is true or false?"

"Would you like to investigate this matter yourself, or should you tell Du Shangshu?" The Du Shangshu in Mu Si'an's mouth was none other than Du Shangshu. When I was working in the yamen, my colleagues would address each other by their official titles. Only after leaving the yamen will he respectfully call out "Du Fu Ma".

Pei Hao thought for a while and asked someone to inform Prince Consort Du.

 The yamen of the Imperial City Division is not far from the yamen of Liubu.

Mu Si'an saw Pei Hao's actions and felt that he was arrogant. As a future son-in-law, shouldn't he go to see his father-in-law in person? He actually just sent someone to deliver the message.

Du Huima came very quickly, "Chengming, I heard that you came to me about something about Wanwan?"

"Yes. We received a whistleblower letter. I don't know how reliable it is. I would like to ask your opinion." Pei Hao immediately picked up a letter and showed it to Du Huima.

The content of the letter is not complicated, it is to tell the location where a group of gangsters who attacked Du Wan were hiding.

　　Du Consort examined the letter carefully.

 The envelope is very ordinary, the paper is very ordinary, you can buy it casually on the street.

Only this ink...

Du Prince Consort smelled it and said, "It's fragrant ink, with a light pine scent. It's not something that ordinary people can afford."

"Indeed." Pei Hao discovered this and did not make any decisions. "Father-in-law, do you think this is a trap?"

 “Then who is the other party trying to harm?” Du Consort asked.

Pei Hao was stunned by the question, and immediately said thoughtfully: "The other party sent the letter to me, is it to harm me?"

 “What are you thinking about?” Prince Consort Du put down the letter.

 Use Wanwan's affairs to harm him? Look how beautiful he is.

Du Huima said bluntly: "Let the people from the government take the lead, and then arrange for your own people to follow behind to pick up the leaks. In this way, even if there is a trap, your own people will not be harmed. Do you understand?"

“I understand, my father-in-law is still the best.”

“Don’t call me father-in-law, you and Wanwan are not married yet.”

 “Isn’t this a matter of time?”

“…” Prince Consort Du looked at him very critically.
