Not only Ziyan, but Li Hao also wanted to know who this Xueer was.
As soon as Zi Yan left, Li Hao put two fingers in his mouth and blew a loud whistle. After a cup of tea, two people came in and stood in the courtyard.
One was slightly shorter, but very strong, with extremely fierce eyes; the other was slightly taller, thinner, with a scar at the corner of his mouth.
"See the king!" The deep and powerful voice showed that their inner strength was very strong.
Li Hao stood under the sycamore tree in the courtyard, spinning two Baoding iron balls in his hands, and the iron balls made a clicking sound.
"Li Ming, Zhao Hai, go and find out Xue'er's identity. According to Concubine Ziyan, she was introduced by Aunt Wang, the toothmaid of the tooth shop, to Eunuch Cheng in the palace. You go and ask this toothmaid, is Xue'er in the end?" Where did it come from."
It was just to investigate a person's identity, not to murder and set fire, so Li Hao randomly found these two people.
Li Ming and Zhao Hai also felt that this matter was very easy, with a relaxed expression on their faces, they replied in unison: "We must complete the task assigned by the king!"
Li Hao nodded and waved his hand: "You guys go!"
"yes!"
A gust of north wind blew, and Li Ming and Zhao Hai left the courtyard.
…
The two inner guards who were ordered to investigate "Xue'er", one named Song Cheng and the other named Jiang Feng, left the palace that day. Eunuch Cheng said that Xue'er was introduced by Aunt Wang, the toothmaid of the dental shop, and the two went straight to Aunt Wang's house.
But seeing that the door downstairs was open, the eyes of the two of them flashed doubts, and they looked in the door, but there was no one there.
"The door is open, where is the person?" Song Cheng said, and he was about to knock on the door.
Jiang Feng quickly stopped holding his hand: "Listen, there are voices upstairs!"
Song Cheng pricked up his ears, and sure enough he heard someone talking in the attic.
"It turns out that the prostitute is upstairs. Let's go upstairs and ask her."
Jiang Feng shook his head and raised his brows: "Listen carefully, the people talking to Aunt Wang above are neither embarrassed nor embarrassed. Let's listen under the Hu ladder first, what did they say to that old lady!"
The two of them walked into the room quietly, hid behind the Hu ladder, and listened attentively.
I only heard a deep voice from upstairs asking ferociously: "You take us to find that Brother Zhang Jiu now."
Aunt Wang said in a trembling voice, "Who the hell are you?"
A man with a slightly sharp voice said: "You don't care who we are! Let you lead the way, and you will lead the way!"
Aunt Wang thought to herself, anyway, what they were looking for was Brother Zhang Jiu, and when they arrived at Brother Zhang Jiu's house, she would run back immediately!
"How about I show you how to go, and you go by yourself, okay?"
A distrustful smile appeared on the corner of the man's mouth: "Do you think we'd be that stupid?"
The one who spoke was Li Ming, who was slightly taller, and the one who spoke sharply was Zhao Hai. Zhao Hai clapped the big knife on his hand, the knife and the scabbard collided with each other, making an icy sound of iron.
"If you want to die, don't take us there!"
As soon as she heard the sound of the knife, Aunt Wang was already out of her wits. She swallowed her saliva and said with a smile on her face, "I'll go, why don't I go!"
A smug smile appeared on Zhao Hai's broad face.
Then, Aunt Wang was in the front, and Li Ming and Zhao Hai were in the back, stepping on the wooden stairs and going down the attic. Song Cheng and Jiang Feng hid behind the ladder, not daring to make a sound.
Aunt Wang locked the door and took them to find Brother Zhang Jiu.
Song Cheng said anxiously: "They're gone!"
Jiang Feng said, "Let's jump out of the window."
The two turned to the window, opened the paper window, jumped out of Aunt Wang's room, and followed Aunt Wang.
The weather today is colder than yesterday, and there are not many people walking on the street, which seems very deserted. Under the sunlight, the white snow shone with crystal light, and the whole street was shining brightly, as if walking in a crystal world.
Beating around the bush, Aunt Wang led Zhao Hai and Li Ming into a remote alley. The alley is dirty and messy, and there are low, dilapidated houses on both sides of the alley.
Aunt Wang led the two into a courtyard, and then the door of the courtyard was closed.
Song Cheng and Jiang Feng jumped onto the wall and lay down on it. I saw an old man sitting on a stool in the yard, holding a flute in one hand and a bamboo knife in the other. This person was Brother Zhang Jiu; when he saw Aunt Wang bringing two strange men in, he knew Something bad happened.
The four of them were silent in the yard for a while, and none of them spoke. Even Brother Zhang Jiu continued to repair his flute as if he hadn't seen anyone coming.
Besides the flute, beside Brother Zhang Jiu, there are many Qinse, Lusheng, Erhu, Dong Xiao, etc., all of which need to be repaired by Brother Zhang Jiu.
Zhao Hai turned around beside Brother Zhang Jiu, suddenly his eyes lit up, and he asked gloomyly: "Are you Brother Zhang Jiu?"
Brother Zhang Jiu looked up at Zhao Hai, with disdain in his eyes: "I'm only Brother Zhang Jiu, what, you two have something to do with me? Aunt Wang, what do you bring them here for?"
Aunt Wang's voice was still trembling: "These two uncles said they have something to ask you, and you can answer as much as you know." She faced Li Ming and smiled, "I have already brought you here, can I go? I still have something to do at home! I won't disturb your conversation... "
He glanced at Li Ming and Zhao Hai with questioning eyes. They didn't seem to hear Aunt Wang's words, and their eyes were only on Brother Zhang Jiu.
Aunt Wang rolled her eyes: If you don't leave now, when will you wait!
Turned around and started to leave. However, her shoulder seemed to be clamped by an iron pliers, and she could no longer move an inch.
"Ouch, ouch..."
Aunt Wang wrinkled her old face, showing extreme pain: "You two, I have already brought you here, what else do you want? Xue'er is Brother Zhang Jiu's niece, just ask him."
Aunt Wang felt that the bones in her shoulders were about to be crushed by Li Ming.
The corner of Li Ming's mouth twitched: "We let you go, and you go. Otherwise, this is your fate!"
With just a whoosh, the knife in Li Ming's hand jumped out in a blink of an eye, and stuck it on the gate post of the courtyard. If it was a person, it would have been pierced through the stomach long ago.
Aunt Wang was so frightened that she could retract her head into her neck, but she didn't dare to breathe out.
Zhao Hai looked at Brother Zhang Jiu fiercely: "Let me ask you, is Xueer your niece?"
Brother Zhang Jiu narrowed his eyes, his pupils were deep. Could it be that Xueer caused trouble in the palace? But the two people in front of them don't look like people in the palace, judging by their temperament and clothes.
"Xue'er is my niece, so what?"
Zhao Hai snorted, doubts appeared in his eyes: "Where is Xue'er's old man?"
Brother Zhang Jiu wondered if he should tell Zhao Hai the truth. In fact, Xueer was brought by Eunuch Fan
"Xue'er's father, has... passed away."
Zhao Hai asked: "What does her father do?"
Brother Zhang Jiu lowered his eyelids: "She... her father is a hunter who hunts in the forest."
"Hunter?" Zhao Hai curled his lips, becoming more and more suspicious of Zhang Jiuge's words, "Can a hunter give birth to such a well-known daughter? Zhang Jiuge, you are lying, aren't you?"
Brother Zhang Jiu trembled slightly, yes, who would believe that a phoenix flew out of an Orion's house
"Believe it or not."
Zhao Hai asked again: "This hunter, where is his home?"
Brother Zhang Jiu: "Didn't I say it, it's in Lin Hai."
"Huh!" Zhao Hai snorted like an old cow, "There are so many forests in the world, which one is it?"
