207: Chapter 207 Liuhe Town

If Yin He could escape the Qian Clan's pursuit, it would certainly be a good thing.

As long as the person was alive, even if they were in hiding, it wasn't necessarily impossible to find them in a short period of time.

Thinking of this, Pei Tianquan's brow smoothed out slightly.

Returning to the Mingshui Street Jinhuai Branch, he immediately arranged for people to investigate the identity of the person who had contacted Li Chunmei.

Although he was certain that Li Chunmei wouldn't dare lie about this matter, he had to verify it.

This could also be considered an important clue.

Immediately, Pei Clan scouts began to inquire about the man's whereabouts.

As for the clues in Jinling County, they were beyond his reach given his capabilities.

At nightfall.

A letter appeared in Pei Qingyun's hand.

With a quick glance, a trace of surprise flashed in Pei Qingyun's eyes; he hadn't expected Yin He to still be within Jinhuai Prefecture.

As one of the six counties of Jinhuai, he was no stranger to Jinling County.

This county, second only to Jinhuai Prefecture City among the six, also had a Yuanhang Branch.

However, this branch was not under Pei Tianquan's responsibility.

If Pei Tianquan wanted to mobilize personnel to interfere in Jinling County's affairs, he naturally needed the approval of this Old Ancestor.

"Time is running out; it might be difficult for Tianquan to catch up this time," Pei Qingyun said softly as he put down the letter.

In fact, even if Yin He really couldn't be found, Pei Qingyun had already arranged another contingency plan.

However, if it came to that, the Pei Clan would have to suffer a loss in silence.

Time waits for no one.

Before the moonlight descended, Pei Qingyun arranged for the hidden guards to take care of the matter.

Since each county periodically conducted sweeps of Demons, the night was still not a safe time.

Especially for ordinary people, the night remained terrifying.

However, for the hidden guards meticulously trained by the Pei Clan, the danger was greatly reduced.

Of course, if it were near the outbreak period of a Demon source, the situation would be different.

However.

After the trade routes were opened and restored, this situation was steadily suppressed.

Otherwise, the Yuanhang Trade Caravan could not have developed so smoothly.

Since the two counties were not close, by the time the hidden guards reached Jinling County, it was already the next morning.

A ray of morning light shone upon the earth, bringing vitality to life.

At the same time.

Pei Tianquan also received a letter from the scouts early on. After half a day's work, the scouts had found out the identity of the person who had contacted Li Chunmei a few days ago.

Just as Pei Tianquan had expected, Li Chunmei had not deceived him in this matter.

The person who had contacted Li Chunmei a few days ago was the steward of the Yin Mansion.

To Pei Tianquan's regret, this steward of the Yin Mansion had disappeared from Jinhuai Prefecture City along with Yin He's family.

Looking at it this way, the clue seemed to have gone cold again.

But that wasn't actually the case; the scouts had gathered information from those who had been in contact with the steward.

This steward of the Yin Mansion had indeed gone to Jinling County, specifically to the area around Liuhe Town.

Once this news came out, it undoubtedly narrowed the search area significantly.

If Yin He's family had truly survived and were staying in the Liuhe Town area, he was confident he could find them.

"Pass the word immediately. Also, prepare a carriage for me; I'm heading to Liuhe Town right away," Pei Tianquan ordered the scout beside him, suppressing the excitement in his heart.

"Yes, Elder." Having said that, the scout vanished from Pei Tianquan's sight.

Jinling Branch.

After receiving the message from the hidden guards, the Head of the Jinling Branch dared not delay and immediately gathered personnel to inquire about Yin He's whereabouts.

If relying solely on the Jinling Branch's own personnel, they would still lack the strength to find Yin He's whereabouts.

However, there were no small number of Great Families in the Jinling Branch that collaborated with the Pei Clan.

At the Pei Clan's request, they undoubtedly chose to cooperate.

As for whether this would offend the Qian Clan, it hadn't reached that level yet.

To put it bluntly, these Great Families were not yet at a level where that was a concern.

Furthermore, they were not aware of these circumstances.
