As for Wu San, neither of them cared about it. Thinking that he could prevent the dealer from changing the points would definitely interest the gambling house, and they might arrest him and study it.
It's just that such a man who is addicted to gambling and sells his wife and children is not worthy of sympathy. This is the reason why Su Ningxin chose him among so many gamblers. After all, such a thing will definitely cause trouble for the gambling houses. Whatever Su Ningxin couldn't do it even if she was implicated, but she wouldn't have any psychological burden if she implicated someone like Wu San.
"Did you find anything?" Chu Jihan asked Su Ning after walking far away from the gambling house.
Su Ningxin did not answer immediately, but looked at him and said, "What about you? Did you find anything?"
"When he rolled the dice, he exposed the cuffs of his underwear. Maybe the pattern on it looks familiar to me, but it doesn't seem to be the style of Da Qi." Chu Jihan said directly without being too pretentious.
Su Ningxin reminded him, "Do you still remember those people who kidnapped Shuanghua and Xiaoan when we returned to Daming Mansion? Are the patterns similar to those on their masks?"
"People from southern Xinjiang?" Chu Jihan frowned.
Su Ningxin speculated, "I'm not sure yet. If they didn't deliberately use that pattern to blame Southern Xinjiang, then it has something to do with Southern Xinjiang."
"First go back and draw the topography of the gambling house, and then check for traces of the activities of the people in southern Yangzhou. You should be able to find some clues."
Although the two of them didn't find any clues about the Jingsha Pavilion when they were wandering around the gambling house, they took note of the terrain in the gambling house and went back to draw actions that would help them round up the killers.
Su Ningxin glanced at the man wearing a bamboo hat on the street corner and asked, "Did you send someone to monitor here?"
Chu Jihan also followed her gaze and said, "Well, Xiyan's secret guards, let them keep an eye on this side and don't let them get close. Just don't let Jingsha Pavilion make any big moves."
[It is true that we can’t get any closer. If we get any closer, we will be discovered by the people from Jingsha Pavilion. ] Su Ningxin thought to herself, but did not say it out loud. After all, they were the secret guards of the emperor's trusted aides. To directly say that they were not capable enough would be to slap the emperor in the face.
But it’s no wonder that the Emperor, the secret guards such as Long Wei and Fengying were handed down from the beginning of the dynasty. They have a set of methods for selecting and training people. When the Emperor established Xiyan, he was still a prince. He started everything from scratch. It’s pretty good to do this.
After the two returned to the small courtyard, they received news from the imperial envoy sent by the emperor, saying that he had found out the reason why the families of some martial arts leaders had been wiped out.
There was nothing going on, so Su Ningxin and Chu Jihan went to the residence of the imperial envoy. This imperial envoy was unexpectedly capable, unlike those officials who had nothing to do with their bodies.
After arriving in Yangzhou, he did not participate in the social activities and started investigating the case directly. Through the search by officers and soldiers, he learned from the old slave who stayed on guard at the house next door to the Wulin leader's house that although he did not listen to the night when the Wulin leader was exterminated. I heard some screams for help, but I also heard the sound of rummaging for something.
Su Ningxin was not surprised that no one heard the cry for help. It was late at night, and many people in the house must have fallen asleep. And with the skills of the killers in Jingsha Pavilion, it was not easy to kill people quietly.
"Do you know what you are looking for?" Chu Jihan asked the imperial envoy.
"I don't know what the purpose of those people is, but according to those people in the world, a small sect previously gave the leader of the martial arts alliance a strange-looking ornament, which was regarded as a treasure by the leader of the martial arts alliance."
The imperial envoy said, taking out a scroll of paintings from the table and unfolding it for Chu Jihan to see, "I had someone draw the appearance of the ornament according to the descriptions of those people in the world. That's it."
After seeing the appearance of the ornaments in the painting, Chu Jihan and Su Ningxin looked at each other. Although there were some differences, the style looked very similar to that of Southern Xinjiang.
The two men did not avoid anyone, so the imperial envoy also saw that they seemed to know something, so he asked, "Do you two recognize this thing?"
Su Ningxin never liked to deal with these officials, and her current status as a woman was not suitable for talking too much, so Chu Jihan replied, "I haven't seen it, but I just saw this style, which is very similar to what Southern Xinjiang believes in. totem."
"I didn't expect that it would involve Southern Xinjiang," the imperial envoy murmured to himself, and then he said angrily, "These people from Southern Xinjiang came to our Daqi to stir up trouble. It is really too much to bully others."
Chu Ji was so cold that he didn't have much emotion. "If it was really done by people from southern Xinjiang, we should definitely ask for an explanation."
Chu Jihan has been in Longwei for so many years and has never seen any news. No matter whether big or small countries around Da Qi, they will send secret sighs to Da Qi. There is no need to be surprised.
"Have you found someone familiar with Southern Xinjiang to see what the use of this ornament is?" Chu Jihan asked.
"There are very few people in Yangzhou who have contact with southern Xinjiang. I have sent people to find out, but there is no news yet." The imperial envoy replied.
This is normal. The imperial envoy has only been in Yangzhou for three days. It is already very difficult to find out these things. It is normal that no one can pry.
[Mu Zhiyun has been to southern Xinjiang before and quelled the rebellion there. She should know something about the situation, but it is a pity that she is not here now.]Su Ningxin thought in her mind, feeling that she was not in a hurry.
While several people were talking, someone knocked on the window and then ducked into the house.
The three of them looked over and saw an ordinary-looking commoner in coarse linen clothes, but from his skills it could be seen that he was definitely not as ordinary as he looked.
Chu Jihan knew the person in front of him. He was one of the secret guards he sent out to monitor the gambling house.
"What's the matter?" Chu Jihan asked.
The secret guard's answer surprised all three of them. The secret guard said that a group of people seemed to have gathered in the gambling house and sneaked out, and there seemed to be some big move.
According to the original conjecture of the three of them, Jingsha Pavilion should hide themselves to avoid the limelight at this time. They knew that the secret guards and imperial envoys sent by the emperor were here and yet they acted so blatantly. It was too arrogant for them.
"Where did they go?" Su Ningxin asked with a frown.
The secret guard shook his head, "I don't know what their purpose is yet, but a few brothers have already followed. They will come back to report as soon as there is news."
"Go and summon all the secret guards at your residence." Chu Jihan ordered the secret guards.
Now that they are all here, if Jingsha Pavilion is allowed to commit a tragic massacre like the family of the leader of the Wulin Alliance, it will really be a joke that makes the world laugh.
