As soon as Wu Suosi entered the villa, he saw that his prince was hugging Master Yunmen and refused to let go. After being pushed away by the other party, he was still opening his arms and saying something like "Come on, let's rub it for a while". A local hooligan, suddenly earth-shattering, shocking to heaven and man. Looking at the Cloud Gate Master again, his eyes were red, and he couldn't even stand still, as if he was going to faint immediately, so he quickly raised his arms and rushed over - don't fall to the ground!
Yun Yifeng covered his sore nose, tears couldn't stop coming out, he was hit hard just now, but he hasn't recovered from this moment, and he didn't notice anyone beside him. On the other hand, Ji Yan felt a cold back, and looked at Wu Suosi with the eyes of a ghost: "What are you doing here?"
"The concubine doesn't know what's going on in Wangxing City, and she's worried about the prince, so she ordered me to rush to help." Wu Suosi supported Yun Yifeng, and continued, "I met Lin Ying on the road when I came, and I heard what he said these days. What happened, the prince is fine."
Ji Yanran was very kind: "Yes, the king is indeed safe and sound, you can go back."
Wu Suosi refused straight away: "It's all here."
While talking, he observed Yun Yifeng's expression, and was careful and concerned: "Master Yunmen, just now my prince, didn't I scare you?"
Yun Yifeng looked at him, with mist in his eyes: "I'm scared."
Ji Yanran was at the side: "..."
Sure enough, I was still scared! Wu Suosi thought bitterly, it was right to be scared, just like the prince did just now, no one would be able to be scared! So he put one hand on his back to help him calm down, and explained in good words: "My lord is not like this usually, this time he must be possessed by an evil spirit, Master Yunmen, don't worry, I'll go get a mahogany sword for him to hang Go!"
"Don't make trouble." Ji Yanran couldn't laugh or cry, raised his leg and gave him a kick, "This villa is almost full of talisman paper dog blood peach wood swords, and there are masters who are chanting mantras from morning to night, and it's not annoying enough ? Speaking of business, what have you heard since you entered the city?"
"There are quite a lot of rumors." Wu Suosi picked up the burden from the ground, "The uproar is all about the Eighteenth Villa. It can't really be related to the Red Crow Sect, right? If it really revives, it will be a big trouble. .”
"It's hard to say." Ji Yanran said, "Zhang Guhe turned Xu's family upside down and found nothing related to the cult, and the Fengyumen couldn't find any news about the Red Crow Cult, so I and the master of the Yunmen I suspect that the red crow charm on Master Xu's body is actually just to attract the court's attention so that I can stay here."
"Come here for the prince?" Wu Suosi guessed, "Could it be the person behind Zhou Ming again?"
"Zhou Ming didn't confess anything. It's not that he didn't want to confess, but he really didn't know." Ji Yanran said, "In these years, he kept his name and ran a pawn shop and a grocery store in Tianqing City. The person in charge of contacting him is Zhou Jiuxiao, except for this uncle, he has never seen anyone online, nor has he participated in any major decisions."
"So he's just a dispensable pawn?" Wu Suosi was secretly surprised. When Zhou Ming served in Daliang, he was a lieutenant general with great military exploits. Although he did not have power, he still had a considerable status. He thought that even if such a person joined the rebel army, he could get a good job. Such a coward, hiding in the backcountry and guarding a pawn shop, acting as a mouthpiece for others for many years, even not knowing who he is loyal to
"He's become an abandoned son now." Ji Yanran said, "The people sent to Qingzhou haven't come back yet, but I guess it's probably nothing."
Wu Suosi said worriedly: "No matter what the truth behind it is, if the other party really came after the lord, it's better to report it to the court in advance to avoid further trouble."
"That makes sense." Ji Yanran nodded, "In that case, why don't you go back to the royal city immediately and tell Brother Huang about this matter."
Wu Suosi: "..."
Wu Suosi grumbled: "I came with a bank note."
Yun Yifeng patted him on the shoulder, and Yun Danfeng said lightly: "The prince is just joking, he sent someone back to Wangcheng to report the news early in the morning, so you can stay here, Old Wu."
Wu Suosi was elated: "Hey!"
The two walked away talking and laughing, looking quite intimate and warm.
His Royal Highness Xiao Wang stood where he was, with a buzzing sound in his head.
Compared with the previous few days, the guards of Shiba Villa are even worse. Almost every section of the road, you can meet patrols. The young and strong men are holding long knives and spears. They are all burly and orderly. Under such strict precautions, if the murderer could break in quietly and let the fourth and fifth of the Xu family die unexpectedly, he might not be a master, but a ghost.
Yun Yifeng didn't feel it before, but after being reminded this time, he noticed something strange, looked around for a week, then turned his head and said: "My lord."
"What's the matter?" Ji Yanran took a few steps and stood side by side with him.
"There should be many high-ranking families in the royal city, right? Are their houses and courtyards like this?"
"Of course not." Ji Yanran shook her head, "Don't say you are a wealthy family, the imperial palace doesn't have this kind of patrol method."
"Master Yunmen thinks there is a problem?" Wu Suosi didn't understand: "Isn't something wrong with the Xu family? It is reasonable to add more nursing homes."
"But these people were not added later." Yun Yifeng explained, "After Xu Qiuwang's accident, only the government dispatched more officers and soldiers. I didn't hear that Shiba Villa recruited new people. Besides, Mrs. Xu and the Yuan family are already married. Scared bird, how can the door be opened at such a time, so that the murderer has the opportunity to sneak in in disguise? So except for a very small number of guards who wear official uniforms, the rest of the guards are all servants hired by the Xu family for a long time, but this number will not be too much ?”
Ji Yanran looked around and became suspicious. When the two first stepped into the Shiba Villa, the murder had already happened, so they didn't think anything was wrong. Looking at it now... Could it be that the Xu family has always lived like this
"Wangxing City is not a smoky place, and the law and order here is good." Yun Yifeng said, "It is more reasonable to say that it is not so much to prevent robbers, but to prevent revenge."
Ji Yanran rubbed her temples: "Then we have to start investigating the fortune of the Xu family?"
"Since you've come, you'll be safe. The thief ship has already boarded, so you can't forcefully jump off." Yun Yifeng promised, "Your Majesty, don't worry, as long as you are willing to pay the money, Fengyumen will definitely assist you with all your strength."
Ji Yanran stretched out her hand and pointed: "Find him for money matters."
Wu Suosi was enthusiastic and sincere, and immediately said: "We will pay!"
The corner of Ji Yanran's mouth twitched: "You are quite generous this time."
Wu Suosi is very bitter in his heart, he can't be generous, look at Master Yunmen, he still wears the red, cheap and rough carved fake ganoderma lucidum on his chest, hot eyes, what money is money, his conscience is uneasy, his conscience is uneasy .
It's better to let Master Yunmen take away the burden.
The three of them walked and chatted, and circled the whole circle of the villa. Perhaps it was because the sun went down and the surrounding area became colder and colder. The wind blew the sound of chanting and crying not far away, whimpering and sobbing intermittently. Accompanied by the black crows all over the sky at dusk, it was extremely... frightening.
Yun Yifeng shuddered unconsciously.
Before Ji Yanran could speak, Wu Suosi first pulled out a cloak from the bag, saying that it was a good material that the concubine specially went to the palace to pick out, it was light and warm.
"Come on, wrap it up!" He shook it off violently.
Yun Yifeng glanced at Ji Yanran, his eyes narrowed.
His Royal Highness Xiao Wang raised his hands in surrender, okay, you are amazing.
There is a house in front, the door is open, a servant girl is collecting clothes to dry, her eyes are red from crying, like peaches in spring. Ji Yanran gave a slight signal, Yun Yifeng understood, and asked softly, "Girl, are you alright?"
The servant girl was taken aback, and when she turned around and saw that it was a good-looking young man, she became even more flustered, saluted hastily and wanted to run away.
"Girl, your clothes fell off." Yun Yifeng reminded from behind.
"Thank you...thank you, Young Master." She wiped away her tears, squatting on the ground to pick them up.
Yun Yifeng probed: "Have you been bullied?"
It was fine if he didn't ask, but after this question, the other party cried uncontrollably, and his voice became louder and louder, as if he had been greatly wronged. Even though Old Wu was standing far away, he couldn't stand it at this time. He was most afraid of girls crying, and his brain hurts when he cried. Suddenly, I admired him even more in my heart—the Master of Fengyumen, he really is someone who wants to do great things!
The maid sobbed and cried for half an hour before leaving with the wooden basin. Ji Yanran stepped forward: "What's going on?"
"It's You Shi's personal servant girl." Yun Yifeng said, "After the master and servant moved to Yuan Shi's room, they were bullied by other servants, and the doctor said that You Shi was dying of illness. Shocked and wronged, I ran to this secluded place and cried."
Ji Yanran asked: "When did You marry into the Xu family?"
"After the Eighteenth Villa was established, she was a local, the daughter of Coach You of the Tiger Roaring Martial Arts Hall." Yun Yifeng said, "It's not just an ordinary young lady. good."
Wu Suosi was surprised: "Master Yunmen has even investigated these things?"
"It's easy to say." Yun Yifeng had a kind attitude, "By the way, the prince has not paid for all these things."
"Cough!" Ji Yanran forced the topic back, "So Youshi became bedridden after marrying into Shiba Villa?"
"It's still early, why don't you go to the Huxiao Martial Arts Academy?" Yun Yifeng suggested, "After all, she is her biological daughter. If there is any abnormality, the parents will always notice it when they return home on weekdays."
Old Wu counted the number of banknotes he brought out this time, and said tactfully, "Master Yunmen will go to the Tiger Roaring Martial Arts Hall in person, do you want to collect the money?"
"It was supposed to be charged." Yun Yifeng replied patiently, "But for Lao Wu's sake, the money will be waived."
Wu Suosi heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the words, and felt that he should explain that it was not because he was stingy, nor that Prince Xiao's mansion was poor, but that the prince spent too much money, so he couldn't care less. Moreover, he was easy to be deceived. Last time, he went to Dianhua City to buy jade materials like someone else, saying that he wanted to carve a jade Guanyin for the concubine, but it was transported back to Wangcheng after thousands of miles. The servants who surrounded the yard were so silent, it's embarrassing to think about it now.
Ji Yanran pulled Yun Yifeng back to her side, and said to Wu Suosi without changing his face: "Get out!"
…
Tiger Roar Martial Arts Hall is located in the west of the city, and its scale is not small. At this time, it was past dinner time, but there were still many people practicing in the courtyard, and the eaves were covered with lanterns, shining brightly everywhere.
The head here is named You Meng, who is also You Shi's biological father. He is half a man in the Jianghu, so he naturally knows the name of the master of Fengyumen. As soon as he heard the pass from the servants, he hurried over, clasped his fists and said loudly: " There is a long way to go, and there is a long way to go."
"Going to the door rashly, we interrupted." Yun Yifeng said, "To be honest, I came to Wangxing City this time to assist the government to find out about Shiba Villa as soon as possible."
You Meng said, "I've heard about it."
"The case is complicated and messy, and Mr. Zhang doesn't know where to start. I think that since Master You and Shiba Villa are in-laws, they may know a little bit of the inside story." Yun Yifeng said, "So first come and see."
You Meng sighed: "Since something happened to Xu's family, I have been sleeping peacefully all day, thinking about what is going on all the time. If I really know the inside story, there is no need to wait for the master of Yunmen to come to the door in person. It's time to go to the government office to find Mr. Zhang."
"That's right." Yun Yifeng nodded, and asked again, "What is the relationship between the You family and the Xu family?"
"The relationship is very good." You Meng said, "Yan'er and Qiu Yi are also in harmony, a loving couple."
Several people were talking, but Ji Yanran saw a black shadow outside the door flickering away from the corner of his eye, as if someone was hiding and listening.
You Meng answered every question. He seemed to be very cooperative, but he really had nothing to say. There was a lot of gossip. It just meant that the two families of You and Xu had a very good relationship. For the sake of enmity, so Shiba Villa must have been murdered by a villain in this innocent disaster, so I ask the government to return justice to Xu's family as soon as possible. As for his daughter's condition, he never mentioned it. In the end, Lao Wu took the initiative to mention it, and he sighed and said that he had already invited a famous doctor and sent a package of medicinal materials. He only hoped for a speedy recovery.
As he spoke, he even started to cry, as if he was very sad.
After such a commotion, Yun Yifeng naturally didn't want to ask too many questions, so he got up and left after a few words of comfort. Walking on the path in the garden, Old Wu was suspicious: "This You Meng cries as soon as he wants, isn't he acting?"
"Not necessarily." Ji Yanran said, "Even if we think coldly and conclude that he has no feelings for his daughter, even if it is out of consideration for his own interests, he will not want her daughter to have an accident, let alone hope that something will happen to her." Something happened to the Xu family."
If Shiba Villa wanted to hire a nursing home, it would inevitably be selected from the young and middle-aged people in the city. Since Mrs. Xu is kind and generous, the treatment of this nursing home will not be too bad. It should be regarded as an easy job that everyone competes for. If you want to protect the courtyard, you need to practice martial arts, and if you want to practice martial arts, you need to find a martial arts gym. Although there are many martial arts gyms in Wangxing City, only You Meng and Shiba Villa are in-laws. Anyone with a little brain knows how to choose.
"So no matter what happens, You Meng will stand by Xu Qiuyi's side and is unlikely to be hostile to him." Yun Yifeng frowned slightly, "But in this way, there is another problem, even if Miss You has suffered I am so wronged and go home and cry, I am afraid that he will not tell us."
Ji Yanran smiled: "Father won't, but mother may not."
"Huh?" Yun Yifeng didn't understand what he meant.
"Come!" Ji Yanran gently held his wrist, and turned into another road, "I'll take you to meet someone."
Wu Suosi: "..."
Why didn't you wait for me? !
