Chapter 152: Finding Suspicions
On the night of staying in Manchester City, Qinghe and Zhao Wu were called into the room by Wang Wan.
Wang Wan let go of her sense of consciousness to observe the surrounding situation, she searched carefully, and found that no one was nearby, so she focused her attention on the house. She said to the two people in front of her with a serious face: "The Manchester City we see now is probably not the real Manchester City." β
"Ah? aunt~ childe, you're not wrong!" Qinghe couldn't help but shout out, and almost shouted "girl" in surprise.
Wang Wan raised her eyes and looked at the two of them, Qinghe was her maidservant, so she would not doubt her words, Zhao Wu was sent by the second brother, although he would not refute Wang Wan, but the expression on his face was obviously suspicious.
Wang Wan doesn't care about his attitude, after all, Wang Wan is a ten-year-old girl in this life, and in his eyes, I'm afraid she is just a stinky hairy child, if you want him to change her attitude in a short time, you have to show some real skills.
She waved her hand to signal Qinghe to calm down, and then said to the two of them: "After entering Manchester City, did you notice anything wrong?" β
Qinghe thought about it carefully and shook his head, Zhao Wujianghu was experienced, he said thoughtfully: "There is something wrong, when the Phoenix Pavilion issued the mission, it was said that the little county lord disappeared in Manchester City in the end, but we also inquired that there were indeed no outsiders who came recently, and the two groups of people before us came and left, I'm afraid I can't find any clues here." β
Wang Wan nodded in affirmation of his words, and Qinghe interjected on the side: "Then it can't be said that something is wrong, maybe the information provided by the Phoenix Pavilion is wrong information?"
Zhao Wu couldn't help but sneer at her, "Do you think Phoenix Pavilion sells vegetables on the streets? What they do is the business of buying and selling news." If this can be mistaken, who will go to them to buy news in the future?"
Qinghe glared at him angrily, then turned to Wang Wan and said, "Good son, don't sell Guanzi." β
Wang Wan smiled when she heard this, and continued: "What Zhao Wu said is right, but there is one more thing you didn't say, and there is nothing wrong with Manchester City. She raised her eyes and looked at the two of them: "Manchester City seems to be quite poor on the surface, but the people in the city are ruddy and have no worries about food and clothing, even the beggars begging on the street are not skinny, and even the yellow faces are very thin." And that Aunt Zhou. I don't think she intended to keep us. Speaking of this, Wang Wan recalled the look on Aunt Zhou's face at that time. smiled.
"She thought we were going to leave in such a hurry as the waves that had gone before her, but she didn't think we would actually stay. Later, she led us to her home, greeting people along the way, in fact, passing on the news to those people. β
"No, it's not. Son. Isn't this a normal thing? We usually greet acquaintances when we meet them. Qinghe was puzzled.
Wang Wan smiled slightly. Indeed, if that's the case, that's normal. But she obviously has a short way to go, why did she take us on a long detour? Didn't you notice that the place where we met Aunt Zhou at the beginning was actually not far from her house?" Wang Wan was able to find this thanks to her divine sense, they followed Aunt Zhou on the way home, she really didn't find anything wrong, but when they arrived at Aunt Zhou's house, Wang Wan had already noticed that something was wrong, and this Aunt Zhou just pulled them around for a long time before going home.
"Ah, that's the case?!" Qinghe and Zhao Wu looked at each other, they really didn't see this.
Wang Wan continued regardless of the reactions of these two people: "Later, Aunt Zhou came here to deliver snacks, and I asked Qinghe to take out two ingots of silver for her, although she showed enough greed for money, but she showed a look of disdain, and have you carefully observed her palms, there are almost no calluses on them, such hands are not like women who do housework all day." β
Zhao Wu frowned and said: "It's really wrong, when we made dinner in the afternoon, this woman said that she came to the kitchen to help, and I saw that she was a clichΓ©, and there was no help for any work, and the rice was not clean after a long time, I saw that she had never been in the kitchen before." β
Speaking of this, Qinghe also thought of something wrong, and she said excitedly: "Childe, I also thought of it, when Aunt Zhou came to deliver snacks today, she was walking on tiptoe, if it weren't for my sharp eyes, I almost didn't find her." β
In this way, the three of them all noticed that there was something wrong with this Aunt Zhou, and Wang Wan continued: "This Aunt Zhou told us a total of two words about the matter of the little county lord, the first sentence is that the first few waves of people took portraits to find people in the city, and then left, we have just analyzed this matter, and those people should have not found useful information and left." β
"The second sentence is that we have no outsiders here, we have lived here for generations, as long as it is a new face, we must recognize it immediately. Do you think there's another meaning to this sentence?"
Qinghe's eyes widened, and they repeated this sentence repeatedly in their mouths, and suddenly Qinghe's eyes lit up and said: "Childe, I thought about it, can I assume that the little county lord may not be a stranger to them." She said this and looked at Wang Wan and the others uneasily, and Wang Wan gave her an encouraging look.
Qinghe hesitated for a moment and continued: "Actually, the slave maid also thought of this, and the slave maid didn't dare to say it. β
Wang Wan smiled, looked at Zhao Wu and said, "Zhao Wu, what I asked you to inquire about before, let's talk about it now." β
Zhao Wu replied respectfully: "Yes, Childe, you asked the villain to find out where the little county lord did before he disappeared, and the villain found out that the little county lord had been staying in the Huaiwang Mansion before his disappearance, and what he did was no different from usual, however, the little county lord was not happy in the Huaiwang Mansion." β
"Oh? Wang Wan said.
Zhao Wu continued: "The mother of the little county lord, Ming Ruoyan, although she is a big man in the rivers and lakes, but she is the identity of the outer room in the Huaiwang Mansion, and she is not even as good as the concubine in the mansion. She doesn't feel the difference when she doesn't live in the palace, but the little county lord was brought back to the palace by King Huai after the age of seven, even if she has the title of county lord personally by the emperor, she has suffered a lot in the past few years. β
It was not easy for Wang Wan to think of a seven-year-old girl being taken to an environment full of malice towards her, finding breathing space in a trap of light or darkness.
"Before the disappearance of the little county lord, King Huai had written to the king of Chu to ask Ming Ruoyan to be named a side concubine, and I don't know if it has anything to do with it. β
Wang Wan thought about the information she got tonight, waved her hand to the two, and Qinghe saluted and left the room quietly.
Wang Wan thought back to every word she heard tonight, many things seemed to have answers, but there seemed to be more questions, the clues were twisted together, and Wang Wan felt as if she was even more confused.
After eating the next morning, Wang Wan took Qinghe and Zhao Wu to walk around the street, and there were quite a lot of people in the street market in Manchester City, and all kinds of characters shuttled to all corners. Wang Wan took the two of them to stand under the big tree next to the road, calmly watching the crowd coming and going.
"Childe, are they all here to find the little county lord?" Qinghe asked in a low voice.
Wang Wan shook her head lightly, and nodded again, Qinghe was confused, she pulled Zhao Wu's sleeve, but Zhao Wu's face was expressionless, and Qinghe angrily tugged at his sleeve to vent.
Wang Wan looked back amusedly and explained in a low voice: "Not all, part of it is looking for people, and part of it is for unknown purposes." β
Qinghe was shocked when she heard this, she wanted to ask but didn't dare to ask, so she had to close her mouth and look at the passers-by in horror.
Wang Wan looked back and saw her expression, and patted her with a fan funny: "What are you afraid of, everything has a son." β
Qinghe wanted to cry and thought without tears, Miss, you are still a ten-year-old doll, can you do it?
Wang Wan shook her head, nodded and walked forward, Qinghe hurriedly trotted to keep up with Wang Wan, and asked, "Childe, where are you going?"
Wang Wan shook her fan in a chic manner, "Find a place to sit." Qinghe and Zhao Wu glanced at each other, both of them showed doubts, and had no choice but to follow closely behind Wang Wan.
I saw Wang Wan wandering around the street, neither buying nor asking about things, it felt like she was here to play, and Qinghe and Zhao Wu were confused, not only were they puzzled, but even the people who were secretly observing them were a little unsure of Wang Wan's intentions.
