Chapter 42: Night Detective
In the middle of the night, Xue Jingyan and the other two had already prepared their things and put on black clothes.
When Xue Yuan and Zheng Nan came to knock on Xue Jingyan's door, Xue Jingyan just pushed the door out.
"How are you?" Xue Jingyan spoke.
Xue Yuan and Zheng Nan nodded.
Xue Jingyan snorted and said, "Then you guys go first, I'll go to Xiao Yan's place to have a look, I don't know how she sleeps." Just divide it according to what you used to have. Zheng Nan went to Li's house, Xue Yuan went to Wang's house, and I went to Mu's house. ”
Xue Yuan and Zheng Nan didn't expect Xue Jingyan to say such things at this time, and the surprised expression on his face was very conspicuous even at night.
"I told her to go to bed on time, and I was afraid that she would remember that we would not sleep. It's okay, you go first, I'll come right away. Regardless of whether you get any news or not, you have to come back in the morning. ”
"Yes!" Xue Yuan and Zheng Nan jumped down from the upper floor and flew up.
The two of them are good at light work, and they have already inquired about the address during the day, and their guards are also familiar with this matter, so they don't have a nervous look on their faces.
Xue Jingyan also moved and came to Zhu Yan's room, he didn't push the door in, but just listened to the sound of breathing inside, judging from this sound, Zhu Yan was already immersed in sleep.
He shook his head lightly, this kid has a very wide heart. But he didn't have a clear direction for the way forward.
With a light sigh, he also flew up, but in the direction that Zheng Nan was going.
The night was deep, and a silver moon hung in the sky, but it only reflected a little dim light on the earth.
He followed the night wind and walked slowly forward, he was not in a hurry, the matter of Mu Nancheng was already like this, such a long time had passed, even if there were any clues, it had been broken.
But some people obviously couldn't hold it back, and he just happened to come to touch the melon.
Zheng Nan also went all the way, during which he occasionally looked back a few times, for fear that someone would follow him, but he didn't find anything, and when he arrived outside the wall of the Li Mansion, he turned around again and looked around, and only jumped forward after finding that there was really nothing.
The walls of the Li family are not too high, because the rivers and lakes here are not very strong, and there are many guards in these big families in Munan City. As for the Sheng family's time, there were other reasons.
Zheng Nan was obviously not very familiar with the layout of the Li family, Xue Jingyan followed behind him, watching him carefully rummage in the Li Mansion first, and finally found a brightly lit room, a person photocopied on the window lattice, looking at the posture should be reading a book.
Looking at the layout, it is located in the northwest corner of the Li Mansion, and there are a few soldiers with their whole bodies looming in the dark.
Xue Jingyan frowned, he didn't expect the Li family to be so bold that they actually wore equipment for their own people. It seems that this Li family is tired.
At this time, Zheng Nan had already fallen not far from the study, and saw that he didn't know what to hit the wooden door of the study.
Only a "snap" was heard, and the people inside and outside the study heard this sound, and under the illumination of the lamp, the figure in the study stood up and slowly walked to the door.
And the people in the shadows also appeared, looking in the direction where Zheng Nan was with a wary face.
The door creaked open, and a man in a green cloth robe appeared inside, holding a book in his hand, with a clear figure, forty or fifty years old, looking very leisurely and elegant, and it was completely impossible to remember that this would be the head of the Li family, and the Li family was already the richest man in Mu Nancheng after the defeat of the Sheng family. Although it may not be as good as the Sheng family, his family's wealth is recognized.
But the person in front of him really didn't have a single precious ornament on his body, and he didn't let his subordinates rush up when he went out, but said in a loud voice in the direction where Zheng Nan was: "I don't know if Your Excellency came here at night, but what's the matter?" ”
Zheng Nan showed his figure, and his black clothes aroused the vigilance of his subordinates on the side of Li Jiyang, the head of the Li family.
Li Jiyang waved his hand, let them go down, and said to Zheng Nan: "Your Excellency's surname is Zheng?" ”
Zheng Nan nodded and did not speak.
"So let's go into the study and talk, the old man has been waiting for half a night." He was the first to step into the study.
Jung Nam followed him.
The door to the study was quickly closed, and Xue Jingyan couldn't see what was going on inside, nor what they were talking about.
It's just that there are a few people around the study, and I don't know if there are other masters nearby, Xue Jingyan thought about it and decided not to eavesdrop on what they were doing.
Zheng Nan is Xue Jingyan's father, that is, the regent Xue Weiqing directly instructed him to follow him, not like Huang Yun who has been following him for several years.
Xue Jingyan didn't know much about Zheng Nan, but he believed that his father would definitely not design a dead end for himself.
That's enough.
Xue Jingyan walked out slowly, and after going out of the Li family, he walked towards the Mu family.
It may be that Zheng Nan hinted at something with the Li family's little servant during the day, in short, it attracted the attention of the Li family, so the Li family's study will be brightly lit tonight, but the Mu family where Xue Jingyan went was silent, only a few lanterns were burning quietly.
There was no one, and naturally no one could be found to ask where the study was. Fortunately, the Mu family's place is smaller than the Li family, and it is easier for Xue Jingyan to find some special places.
Just as he was going to turn around, ready to knock out the unconscious man and ask him, he saw a room with two lanterns at the door that showed that it was unusual, like a normal house, where a lantern would hang in the doorway.
Xue Jingyan was overjoyed, turned over and jumped onto the roof, lifted the tiles and looked inside, which was the study.
Since it's a study, you have to go in.
He looked around, listened to the sounds around him, and made sure that no one was nearby, so he jumped inside through the window.
The lantern was outside, but it didn't show his figure.
Although he thought that it was unlikely that something important would be placed in the study, he was also a little disappointed when he did not find anything useful. After rummaging carefully, there was really no secret door or anything, so he had to give up.
He turned over and went out, thought about it, and pulled a sleeping little guy out and asked him where the house of the old man of the Mu family was.
The little guy pointed out the direction in a daze, and just wanted to express his shock to Xue Jingyan who was dressed in black, but he knocked out with a palm.
The image of the old man of the Mu family is very much in line with Xue Jingyan's imagination of the nouveau riche.
Mufu is not as good as the Li family, the Wang family and the Sheng family, the history is relatively long, and it has only begun to develop in recent decades.
The Sheng family was about to lose before, and it was the old man of the Sheng family who came back to his senses, but the background is still there.
The old man of Mufu has a fat head and big ears, and his belly is also round, and when he was found by Xue Jingyan, he was on the bed of a woman wearing a red belly pocket.
Xue Jingyan looked at the unsightly scene, there was nothing abnormal on his face, but he rummaged around in the room outside the bed.
But in his heart, he thought, this old man of Mufu is really strange enough, and he still doesn't sleep at this time......
