"Miss Du is missing!?" Yao Ban stood up suddenly and was so frightened that the guard leader lowered his head even lower.
The leader replied tremblingly: "This morning the maid went in to deliver medicine, but she found that there was no one on the bed! I checked carefully and found that a master went in last night!"
Upon hearing this answer, Yao Ban slammed the tea cup to the ground and broke it into countless pieces.
"Trash! You bunch of trash!"
"Sir, calm down!" The leader of the guard knelt down and bravely guessed: "Since His Highness sent his subordinates here, he naturally trusts them, but what happened last night was not noticed by his subordinates. A person with such ability , my subordinates boldly believe that only the Marquis of Ping Guo can do it!"
Hearing him mention Fu Lie, Yao Ban calmed down a little.
After thinking about it carefully, it seems that what he said makes sense.
If it was Fu Lie who took the person away, Yao Ban wouldn't be very worried.
"you sure?"
The guard leader replied eloquently: "My subordinates are 90% sure!"
Yao Ban felt completely at ease and waved to the guard leader: "Go to the government office..."
The weather is nice today, the sun is shining brightly.
It snowed for two consecutive days in Cangzhou, and the whole city was covered in silver.
Wen Qingzhu had almost packed up here, and when he was about to set off, he found that Xi'er was not here.
So he turned around and asked Lu Tao: "Where is Xi'er?"
Lu Tao put down what he was holding, ran out, and saw Xi'er still standing at the corner.
She sighed and turned to look at Wen Qingzhu: "Maybe I haven't agreed with Beidou yet."
"What happened to him? Didn't Hu Sen promise to let him stay and take care of him?" Wen Qingzhu walked to the door.
Following Lu Tao's line of sight, he saw that Xi'er was talking and gesticulating.
Wen Qingzhu looked away, looked at Lu Tao and asked, "Beidou wants to go to the capital with us?"
Lu Tao smiled bitterly: "Rather than wanting to follow us to the capital, it's better to say that he wants to follow Xi'er."
"What's going on??" Wen Qingzhu felt a little strange.
Lu Tao looked over and explained: "Didn't Xi'er stay in Yuhua Town before? Cuicui was very hostile to him. It was Xi'er who took care of his feelings. Later, when he went out twice, someone found out his identity. , it was Xier who protected him and left."
After a pause, Lu Tao looked back at Wen Qingzhu: "Maybe Xi'er is different in his heart."
Wen Qingzhu was a little hesitant. She didn't even dare to take Hu Sen back easily.
A member of the Wu tribe who couldn't speak almost became a night watchman, and she didn't dare to take any chances.
Wen Qingzhu stepped out and walked towards Xi'er.
When they were about to arrive, they heard Xi'er's voice: "...I told you that I will not stay in Cangzhou. For the sake of safety, you'd better not leave Cangzhou. This is all -"
Xi'er heard the footsteps and turned around: "Miss!"
Wen Qingzhu walked down to raise the price and saw Beidou who had basically recovered. His appearance looked like an ordinary person.
Seeing her coming, Beidou lowered his head.
Wen Qingzhu looked at him, feeling a little helpless.
Beidou had been helping them from the beginning, and he did not participate in the Witch Clan's subsequent pursuit.
But with his status, it would be too risky to take him to the capital.
"Beidou, my uncle actually wanted to take you back before, but the situation in the capital is still unclear. If you follow us there, it will only drag us down. Do you understand?"
Beidou raised his gaze, stared at Wen Qingzhu blankly for a long time, and finally nodded.
But there was an unconcealable disappointment in his eyes.
Wen Qingzhu explained directly: "Now is not the time. On the one hand, you have a special status, and on the other hand, Cangzhou is still unstable. Do you remember Maomao? He will also stay in Cangzhou. He is also a member of the Wu tribe. Aren't you worried? Will he have any accidents in the future?"
Beidou nodded desperately and wanted to speak, but nothing came out.
"Don't worry! I have arranged for someone to take care of Maomao, but he will be safer if you are here." Wen Qingzhu explained patiently again.
Beidou seemed to accept his fate, clenching his hands into fists and his eyes became firm.
Seeing him like this, Wen Qingzhu smiled and said, "If we have time in the future, Xi'er and I will come back to see you."
Hearing this, Beidou grinned.
Xi'er finally breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Wen Qingzhu gratefully, and turned to see Beidou off.
Half an hour later, Fu Lie came to pick her up.
When I went out, I saw Yao Ban and Hu Yinghao were there.
"Wei Chen has met Madam Marquis." Hu Yinghao was naturally very respectful.
Yao Ban followed suit and bowed. There was nothing wrong with the etiquette.
Wen Qingzhu and Fu Lie nodded, and then she got on the carriage.
When she got on the carriage, Wen Qingzhu noticed a gaze behind her, staring closely at the carriage.
She simply winked at Lu Tao and asked Lu Tao to open the car curtain wider.
The carriage was empty, not even an extra table.
After Wen Qingzhu got in the car, Lu Tao followed.
After lowering the car curtain, the line of sight was naturally blocked.
Wen Qingzhu shook his head slightly. Yao Ban could hold Prince Ning, but he couldn't hold Du Weiniang.
She and Prince Ning were not the same person to begin with.
Under the leadership of Fu Lie, the carriage drove to the government office.
Halfway there, someone suddenly came hurriedly on horseback from the direction of the government office.
He hurriedly said to Fu Lie: "Master Marquis, Master Fu's coffin has been moved!"
Fu Lie immediately turned around and ordered Yang Jiu to protect Wen Qingzhu, while he himself followed the person who made the report and hurried away.
After they left, Wen Qingzhu ordered in the car: "Let's speed up, maybe the Marquis needs help."
The driver took the order and began to speed up.
But when they reached the middle of the street, a little boy who looked like a beggar suddenly rushed out from the front.
The driver who was driving the carriage stopped urgently and tightened the reins.
When Lu Tao opened the car curtain, Hu Yinghao was the first to shout: "Where is the beggar from! Why don't you get rid of it quickly!"
"Wait!" Wen Qingzhu stopped him immediately.
The little beggar raised a hairpin and said, "Madam! Sister Du asked me to come here to find you! She was kidnapped by the beggar's boss! Please, save Sister Du!"
Xi'er immediately jumped out of the car, went over and took the hairpin from the beggar's hand.
It was delivered to Wen Qingzhu: "Miss, please take a look."
After confirming the pattern on the bottom of the hairpin, Wen Qingzhu's expression became serious: "This is the hairpin I gave to Miss Du in the capital before."
After confirming, Wen Qingzhu turned to stare at Yao Ban with a rather unkind tone: "Master Yao! Isn't Miss Du sick? How could she be kidnapped by a beggar?"
Yao Ban got off the sedan and came to Wen Qingzhu to see the hairpin.
Wen Qingzhu didn't say anything and handed it to him directly.
After reading it, Yao Ban explained: "Miss Du did lose a hairpin before, and this is it."
He turned back and stared at the little beggar: "It seems that someone picked it up and deliberately used it."
Wen Qingzhu couldn't help but praise her. It was indeed an old fox who saw through her plan at a glance.
He even turned an army against him.
It's a pity that Du Weiniang chose to cooperate with her instead of you, Yao Ban.
Wen Qingzhu tried to persuade her: "Master Yao, are you sure Miss Du is safe? Are you still recuperating in the mansion?"
"Of course, Madam, do you doubt what I am saying?" Yao Ban asked back calmly.
Wen Qingzhu smiled: "Miss Du is Prince Ning's favorite, and Master Yao is Prince Ning's confidant. Naturally, we will not doubt what you said."
She turned around with a smile and looked at the little beggar: "I'm afraid that Sister Du you are talking about is someone else, not the one I know. Let's go!"
After Wen Qingzhu said this, he turned around and got into the car. Lu Tao lowered the curtain and ordered the driver to start again.
Watching the carriage leave here, Yao Ban felt a little hesitant.
Is it true that Du Weiniang was not kidnapped by Wen Qingzhu and his group
To be on the safe side, Yao Ban immediately sent someone to follow the little beggar blocking the road.
In less than a quarter of an hour, Wen Qingzhu and the others arrived at the Yamen.
As soon as I got off the bus, I was met by a policeman who rushed out. In addition to the government officials, there were about a dozen Fu family soldiers.
Wen Qingzhu turned around and asked Yang Jiu to ask.
After a while, I learned that in addition to murder cases in the north of the city, it was said that someone had been dismembered!
Wen Qingzhu frowned, wondering why things were beyond his expectations.
There was indeed a murder in her plan, but there should not be news of dismemberment!
After that bloodbath, the people of Cangzhou did not feel much sense of security.
At this time, Jiang Yuanhan came out with Wu Mian from the Yamen.
He walked up to Wen Qingzhu and said with a smile: "Sister, don't worry, I'll go over and take a look now. You go in first to see Fu Hou."
"Okay." Wen Qingzhu responded.
But for some reason, he always felt that Jiang Yuanhan was a little strange.
When he was about to leave, Wen Qingzhu said one more thing: "It's better to let Yang Jiu go with you. He also knows the affairs in Cangzhou City better."
"Of course." Jiang Yuanhan nodded, turned to look at Yang Jiu, and said politely, "Master Yang, please excuse me."
They moved quickly and left here on horseback.
But Wen Qingzhu always felt that he seemed to have overlooked something.
When they arrived at the government office, the coffin was still placed in the side courtyard. When Wen Qingzhu passed by, he found Yang Liu interrogating someone.
Seeing her coming, Yang Liu asked someone to take the interrogator down.
"Madam, the Marquis is inside." Yang Liu glanced at the yard.
Wen Qingzhu shook his head: "I won't go in first. Tell me what's going on here?"
Yang Liu knew that something might have happened between Wen Qingzhu and Fu Lie.
But as a subordinate, it's hard for him to say anything.
I can only answer according to my duty: "Someone tried to destroy Master Fu's coffin, but Master Yang discovered it in advance, arrested a group of people, and interrogated a group of people, but still let two people run away. Master Yang is now leading the people Went out to chase him.”
"Is it so serious? Someone can do something under your noses?" Wen Qingzhu couldn't help but look at the yard.
She happened to see Fu Lie coming out of the room, and she quickly looked away.
Wen Qingzhu turned to leave, but Fu Lie came out faster and stopped her: "Qingqing, are you okay over there?"
Wen Qingzhu raised his head, pursed his lips and said, "It's okay. There's something wrong in the north of the city. Yuanhan went over to help."
"Prince Rui has passed?" Fu Lie's eyes darkened.
The look on her face made her startled: "Is there any problem with Yuanhan?"
Fu Lie changed the subject: "Please help me look at dad's side first. I'll be back as soon as I can."
