Chapter 254 Tracking
Wen Jiuxiao took the painting and went to the outer courtyard, but was very troubled about how to deal with the painting. Keep it, he doesn't want to take another look at that image of himself. Burn it, but she painted it again.
When he was in a difficult situation, Qingfeng reported back and forth, "Third Lord, Zhuo Zhengyang is here."
Wen Jiuxiao didn't get entangled anymore, raised his hand and threw the painting into the painting jar, and walked straight out with a gloomy expression.
"What's the matter?" Wen Jiuxiao asked directly, if it wasn't for the accident, Zhuo Zhengyang wouldn't have come to Pingbeihou Mansion to look for him.
Sure enough, Zhuo Zhengyang said quickly: "My lord, one of the two people you put in prison committed suicide last night."
"How did you die?" Wen Jiuxiao only paused for a moment before continuing to stride outward.
Zhuo Zhengyang followed him and replied in a low voice, "...The strange thing is that there is no fatal wound on his body. After careful inspection, his subordinates did not show any symptoms of poisoning on the outside. His face was very calm. Except that he was not breathing. No different from ordinary people.”
Wen Jiuxiao frowned, "Where is the other person?"
Zhuo Zhengyang said: "The other person is fine. My lord, there may be a traitor in the prison."
Wen Jiuxiao didn't say yes or no, but his steps quickened. He hasn't seen anyone yet, so it's hard to jump to conclusions. If the deceased was really as Zhuo Zhengyang described, the situation would not be very good.
The prison in Dali Temple is divided into underground and above-ground. Wen Jiuxiao went to the above-ground prison. As soon as he entered, a chilly air rushed over his face. If he was a timid person, his legs might be weak. Wen Jiuxiao, however, acted like a normal person, walking in the cramped aisle without any loss of his innate elegance.
"The jailer who found someone dead knew that you valued it, sir, so he didn't say anything, but quietly found his subordinates. The subordinates asked him to find a way to cover it up, so that no one else would find out..."
Zhuo Zhengyang spoke in a hurry, and soon arrived at the cell. A man with the appearance of a jailer was patrolling, but there was a little impatience between his brows. When he saw Wen Jiuxiao, he was obviously relieved.
Wen Jiuxiao nodded slightly to him, and the jailer saluted before heading in another direction.
A man was lying curled up face inward, from the outside, no one would have guessed that he was dead. Wen Jiuxiao checked it, and it was exactly as Zhuo Feiyang said.
There is no wound, unlike poisoning, if he is not mistaken, it should be Gu. Using Gu to control people...
Wen Jiuxiao stood up resolutely, and said, "Take the other person underground, and I will interrogate him myself."
Wen Jiuxiao stayed in the underground prison for three days, and as soon as he came out, he led people straight to a gambling house in the south of the city, and even the manager and the staff arrested more than a dozen people.
"Separate detention, interrogation first, take care of the person, don't let him die." Wen Jiuxiao returned home after giving orders.
He hasn't been back for three days. Although he sent someone to send the news back, he still can't rest assured.
When Wen Jiuxiao saw the woman riding the horse and raising the whip in the martial arts arena, he fell silent, it seemed that he was thinking too much. In the newly moved mansion, even if he hasn't come back for three days, she doesn't feel any discomfort at all.
No, no, it's not just that she doesn't feel any discomfort, on the contrary, she is obviously more at home in the mansion here, and she is already on a horse. In Wu'anhou's mansion, she didn't even mention it.
If Yu Zhi knew what he was thinking, he would definitely complain. Still want to ride a horse under the eyes of the leader? Did she think the leader had a good impression of her?
Seeing her happy, Wen Jiuxiao was about to go back to the yard, but Yu Zhi had sharp eyes and saw him. She rushed over with a flick of the rein. She wanted to say, "The third master is back." When she saw his face, she was shocked, "How long has it been since the third master?"
His eyes were bloodshot, and the stubble on his chin was growing. He looked extremely relaxed.
"Did the third master eat? What do you want to eat? He Xiaodie, take the horse back." Yu Zhi got off the horse, threw the reins to He Xiaodie, and grabbed Wen Jiuxiao's arm, "Go, go, go back to take a bath first Change clothes, for the sake of your hard work and earning money to support your family, you are allowed to order food today."
Wen Jiuxiao's eyes were soft and soft, and the murderous aura around him dissipated in an instant, "Xianzi noodles."
Yu Zhi was a little surprised, but still agreed with him with a smile. Yu Zhi wasn't hungry when she made it, and when she smelled the aroma of fried chili, Yu Zhi wanted to eat it too, so she ordered a bowl for herself decisively.
Yu Zhi felt very satisfied after eating a bowl of hot glutinous rice noodles, and heard Wen Jiuxiao say in his ear: "I will be very busy in the future, if I don't go back to the house at night, I will ask someone to come back and tell you, I left Qingfeng in the mansion, if you have anything to do, let him do it, or you can go to the front mansion to find your mother."
Yu Zhi responded humbly, but didn't take his words to heart. What else can she do besides eating and drinking? Man, it's normal to work to support a family, and she will never complain that he doesn't come home, let alone hold him back. Besides, if he doesn't come back at night, she can take a small walk or something, that's great!
"Qingfeng should follow you, I can rest assured that he is by your side."
In this mansion, I don't know where Wen Jiuxiao got so many servants, Yu Zhi watched coldly, they each performed their own duties, and the rules were even stricter than Wu'anhou's mansion.
Wen Jiuxiao thought for a while, then nodded, "That's fine." He doesn't need Qingfeng to follow him all the time, just let him run on both sides.
Yu Zhi originally thought that Wen Jiuxiao would stay in the mansion to rest after eating, but he didn't expect that he would rest for an hour, and then went back to work in the yamen full of energy. He was simply a workaholic.
Naturally, he couldn't come back at night. According to Qingfeng, Dali Temple arrested many people today, not to mention Wen Jiuxiao, even the paperwork had to stay and work overtime.
In the middle of the night, Yu Zhi woke up. He slept too much during the day, so he couldn't fall asleep. She thought of the frozen ice lamp outside, so she simply put on her clothes and went out to have a look.
I’m not a kid yet, and I don’t know whether I heard it from my classmates or read it in some book, so I insisted on making ice lanterns. It's already the first month of the month, and although there is still a saying that it will be cold in spring, Yu Zhi can't guarantee whether it will be frozen solid.
By the moonlight, Yu Zhi checked the water in jars, jars, and vases, and found that there was only a thin layer of ice, and the boy might be disappointed.
At this moment, a figure flashed lightly from the courtyard.
He Xiaodie! It's so late, where is this girl going? Yu Zhi followed without thinking.
He Xiaodie's qinggong is very good, and he is also very cautious, that is, Yu Zhi, if he is another person, he will definitely lose it.
Hey, following behind He Xiaodie, Yu Zhi became more and more suspicious. This direction, this route, is heading towards Dali Temple, Yu Zhi is very familiar with it.
But, what did He Xiaodie do in Dali Temple?
That's right, He Xiaodie went to Dali Temple. It's a pity that the Dali Temple was brightly lit tonight, and He Xiaodie didn't dare to approach after walking around a few times. Then she turned around and headed south, Yu Zhi still followed behind her.
Two quarters of an hour later, He Xiaodie stopped, and then turned into a house, and it was too late for Yu Zhi to stop her.
Xiaolu told her that there was someone in that house, and this "person" was naturally not an ordinary person. Sure enough, after a while, the sound of fighting came from the yard.
Yu Zhi went over to have a look, good guy, five or six people besieged He Xiaodie alone. Yu Zhi looked at it for a while, and she found that the kung fu of the five or six people was average, but He Xiaodie's moves were very ruthless, one-on-one couples could not lose the wind, Yu Zhi's eyes flashed admiration.
But Yu Zhi still made a move, Xiaolu entangled the ankles of several people, He Xiaodie's long sword stabbed at the person in front of him, and the person fell backwards, not only him, but the others also fell on the ground land.
He Xiaodie was taken aback, and quickly seized the opportunity to escape.
Yu Zhi naturally still followed her, she could tell that the people who besieged He Xiaodie had a very similar aura to those who were arrested by King Ancheng, and they should be the officials in ambush here. Since He Xiaodie was able to find this place, there might be something wrong with her origin.
Yu Zhi had a headache. She thought she had picked up a potential employee, but who would have thought that she might still be a problem?
Her family, Mr. Xiaowen, is an official. She can't just watch the two parties hurt each other, can she? Well, He Xiaodie just wants to run away, so she can help.
Yu Zhi watched He Xiaodie return to the Pingbei Hou Mansion, stepped into his room, and then returned slowly.
He Xiaodie, who is it?
