Chapter 105: Suspicious Woman
Jincheng Yamen, Lu Zhutou placed a beautiful box in front of him, the box contained the most precious medicinal materials in Luocheng, a thick ginseng, so thick is rare in the world, very expensive, is a very rare tonic, generally only princes and nobles can afford it.
But where did Long Wushuang get it, and he didn't seem to care at all, he threw it into the river casually, he thought, and suddenly his heart moved, the place where he met Long Wushuang that night was only half a mile away from the palace wall, could it be that he stole it from the palace, but since he stole it, why threw it away, didn't he steal it, but someone gave it to him, so who in the palace would dare to secretly associate with Long Wushuang?
It stands to reason that he can completely ignore this kind of thing, what does it matter to him, but Lu Zhutou has solved countless cases in his life and has a special interest in unsolved and doubtful cases. The three major families in Jincheng were wiped out, and he couldn't investigate it anymore, because the last clues all pointed to the same person, that is, the eldest prince, but he still secretly investigated tirelessly, and he didn't stop until the eldest prince died, because he really couldn't check it anymore, and if he checked it again, he would find out to His Majesty.
Now looking at the precious specialties of Los Angeles, it seems that there is another big case happening in front of his eyes, there are people in the palace who collude with Long Wushuang, what are they going to do, is they going to covet the royal treasures, or are they going to endanger His Majesty's country? The more he thinks about it, the more he feels that this matter is not trivial, don't underestimate such a ginseng that was casually thrown down the river, behind it, there may be an ulterior and earth-shattering conspiracy.
He opened a roster and learned in detail which people in the palace were from Los Angeles, of course, this is just a circle, and the specialties of Los Angeles are not necessarily bought by the people of Los Angeles, it is entirely possible that others bought them as favors to those in the palace.
After some statistics, he found that in the palace, there were a total of five people from Los Angeles, a father-in-law, two guards, and two women, one is Bao Ruichun, today's Rui Guifei, and one is Yin Guiren, both of whom are women in His Majesty's harem, so who did Long Wushuang get the ginseng from?
He thought about it for a while, although it was still a fog, and he couldn't be sure that the ginseng was brought out of the palace by Long Wushuang, and he couldn't be sure that the ginseng was the five people, but he was still extremely excited, peeling back the cocoon, and finally making the truth come out, this is what he has been doing all his life, his sense of smell is sensitive, and there is no one above him in the Drum Country, and his obsession with the mystery has reached the point of no cure.
He was immersed in the reasoning and imagination of ginseng when he was suddenly interrupted: "Report." ”
Lu Zhutou raised his head: "What's the matter?"
A servant: "Head, a suspicious-looking woman was found in the city. ”
Lu Zhutou: "How do you look suspicious?"
The officer: "After she entered the city, she seemed to be looking for something all over the city, and her expression was abnormal, as if she was afraid that people would recognize her, and someone accosted her, she left in a hurry, never paying attention, and her subordinates thought that she was a sign of weakness." ”
Lu Zhutou nodded: "Yes, there is progress, take me to have a look", he put away the ginseng, took the waist knife, put on a hat, and followed the official out of the yamen.
The two walked a few streets and joined the other two officials, who were following the woman, and Lu Zhutou followed silently: "She does have a problem, like a thief, afraid of being recognized by the government, and like a runaway person, afraid of being chased by her family." ”
The subordinate asked, "Which one is that?"
Lu Zhutou: "It may be that she ran away from home, in this way, you should hurry up and change your clothes and pretend to be a civilian, since she looks like she is looking for someone, she will definitely go to an inn or something like that to inquire about it, follow her, and see who she is looking for." ”
That woman is Yu Xiaoyu, after she escaped from Dadong Mountain, she went to Jincheng, but she didn't know where Long Wushuang was, so she searched all over the city, but the person she was looking for was too special, and she couldn't ask if anyone had seen Long Wushuang, I was afraid it would cause big trouble.
She not only wants to find Long Wushuang as soon as possible, but she is afraid of meeting people from the Hundred Ghost Gate, so she dodges all the way, which looks extremely abnormal, this is a manifestation of not being deeply involved in the world, she is just an eighteen-year-old girl, she grew up in the courtyard of Cangyu City, and she has never been far away, and it was the first time in her life to send her out to follow Long Wushuang.
She entered an inn, tried her best to show her demeanor, and looked from room to room, but she didn't see Long Wushuang at all, she was extremely anxious, where did he go?
There was a servant who wore the clothes of ordinary people and followed her all the way, and saw that she entered a lot of inns, but she went in to have a look, and did not ask anyone any questions, which was even more strange, and someone went back to report to Lu Zhutou.
Lu Zhutou frowned and thought for a while, she never spoke, what is the reason, is she mute, if she is not mute, then it means that the person she is looking for can't ask, who can't ask, Long Wushuang?
His heart skipped a beat, if she had come to find Long Wushuang, she would definitely not have been able to ask anyone, but why did she dodge, as if she was afraid of being discovered, who was she afraid of finding out? Who was she and where did she come from? Why did she walk with Long Wushuang? If she was discovered, what would be the consequences?
A series of questions popped up in his mind, he couldn't sit still, stood up, took off his official uniform, and put on civilian clothes: "I'll go and see for myself." ”
Yu Xiaoyu couldn't remember how many inns she had searched, but she had never been able to find Long Wushuang, seeing that it was about to get dark, she wondered in her heart, where did he go, did he go back, or did something happen?
Just as she was at a loss as to what to do, a man in his thirties approached her and called her, "Girl." ”
Yu Xiaoyu glanced up at him, ignored it, and just walked in a hurry.
That man was Lu Zhutou, he had already recognized her, wasn't it the woman who was with Long Wushuang last time, he was very proud of his accurate judgment, and followed her behind: "I know who you are looking for, I saw him a few days ago." ”
Yu Xiaoyu stopped, turned around, looked at the man in front of him, and recognized him as the head catcher of the Yamen, but how did he know who he was looking for?
Lu Zhutou stood in front of her, his mouth opened, and he said three words, but he didn't make a sound, Yu Xiaoyu looked at the shape of his mouth and knew that he was talking about the three words "Long Wushuang".
She looked at him, a little apprehensive in her heart, but she finally spoke: "There is a price to pay for deceiving people. ”
Lu Zhutou: "Let's talk while walking", he walked side by side with Yu Xiaoyu: "A few days ago, he probably went into the palace, and when he came out, he happened to meet me, he is elusive and difficult to find, you can't find it if you look so messy." ”
Yu Xiaoyu: "Then do you know where he is?"
Lu Zhutou: "I want to determine who you are first." ”
Yu Xiaoyu: "No comment. ”
Lu Zhutou: "I see you dodging and dodging, you must be afraid that people will find out, it is very dangerous for you to run around the city like this, I am for your good." ”
Yu Xiaoyu: "If you really want to be good for me, just tell me where he is." ”
Lu Zhutou: "I haven't seen him for a few days, maybe he's out of the city." ”
Yu Xiaoyu: "Has anything happened in Jincheng recently?"
Lu Zhutou: "There are many big things, which one do you want to listen to?"
Yu Xiaoyu: "You say it, come and hear it." ”
Lu Zhutou: "The prison was burned, the legend was that Long Wushuang did it, this is one thing, the eldest prince was assassinated, and the legend is that Long Wushuang did it, this is also a ......"
Yu Xiaoyu: "Okay, I know, say goodbye", she left him and left quickly.
Lu Zhutou stood in place, and thought about it again in his mind, what is the origin of this girl, and what is the relationship between her and Long Wushuang?
After thinking about it for a while, he really couldn't figure it out, and he couldn't figure out what her appearance was related to, so he patted his head and left, forget it, why don't you care about her so much, let's go back and study that ginseng.
