It's been a long morning, some people are running, some people are carefully looking for clues, and some people can't do anything but wait.

Seeing Zhou Shu, Jian Ying's first sentence asked, "Did you find it?" ”

Zhou Shu shook his head helplessly, "The palace is too big, and there are too few people who can use it." It's daytime again, and it's hard for me to bring people in from outside, otherwise there will be a lot of fresh faces all of a sudden, and it will inevitably attract attention.

Even a limited number of people, in order not to be noticed, the movement is also very restricted, so the progress is slow.

Don't worry, if Xiao Ji is really in the house, he will be able to find it sooner or later. ”

"I know that rushing won't solve anything." Jian Ying smiled bitterly, "But I just can't help but be anxious, if I find Xiaoji a moment later, she will have to suffer a moment more." ”

Zhou Shu took her into his arms and stroked her back with his hand, "Don't worry, I won't let her suffer in vain." ”

"Second Young Lady ......"

Jin Ping lifted the curtain of the door, just shouted, saw the scene in the house, and hurriedly turned his back.

Jian Ying poked her head out of Zhou Shu's arms, "Say, what's the matter?" ”

"Yuan Fang is back, he should have entered the courtyard by this time." Jinping replied quickly.

"Call her in." Jian Ying pushed Zhou Shu away and motioned for him to sit next to him.

As he spoke, Yuan Fang had already come to the door. Without waiting for Jin Ping to open the curtain, he came in with a cat's waist, "Second young lady, I asked out." There is such a person, named Fan Huo, who works as a groom in our palace. ”

"Groom?" Jian Ying was quite surprised, "A person with good martial arts actually works as a groom?" So what is the relationship between this groom and his sister-in-law? ”

"It was said that it was when the princess returned to her parents' house. Just in time for him to faint from hunger on the side of the road, he saved him. gave him food, and gave him two clothes and some silver taels, I thought it would be fine to send it away, but who knew that he came to the door by himself, and worked as a groom in the palace for four or five years.

At first, the princess suspected that this person was going to do something bad when he came to the mansion and wanted to kick him out, but then somehow changed her mind.

Bai Shao said that the princess never met with this person, and everything was passed through the Zhu Xian family. ”

Yuan Fang finished his words in one go. Only then did he stop and take two breaths. "Bai Shao knows so much."

"Okay, I've worked hard for you, go down and rest." Jian Ying commanded.

Yuan Fang stood still and didn't leave, "Second Young Lady." I'm not tired. The person you called me to inquire about. He was the one who took Xiao Ji away, right? If only it were him. I'll go to him, beat him, and snatch Xiao Ji back. ”

"I'll give you a chance to beat him. Not now, though. You go and rest first, I'll discuss it with the second young master, and I'll call you when it's done." Jian Ying sent Yuan Fang away and turned her head to look at Zhou Shu, "It's not good for me to show up, it's all up to you." ”

"Understood, I will immediately send someone to check the details of this Fan Huo to see if he is in the same party." Zhou Shu stood up, took two steps, and looked back at her again, "Don't you want to discuss it with me?" That's it? ”

Jian Ying glared at him, "What is there to discuss?" Don't be poor, go quickly, it's important to find someone. ”

Zhou Shu didn't say anything, went straight to the tea garden, and told Monkey Kui to go to the stable to find out the details of Fan Huo.

Monkey Kui went for about half an hour, and then hurried back, "Second young master, I have inquired clearly, this Fan Huo came to the mansion to be a groom five years ago, and a groom surnamed Cao introduced him in, saying that he is a distant relative of his own.

This man doesn't like to talk much, he only works with his head bored, he is diligent and clean, and the people in the stable like him. ”

"Who does he associate with?" Zhou Shu interjected and asked.

"Except when he was doing things, I didn't know who he had a relationship with in private."

"What about the groom surnamed Cao?"

"Dead, Fan Huo died not long after he entered the mansion to do things, he drank too much in the stable, and was trampled to death by a horse."

"Where is Fan Huo now?"

"He said that he had a cold for the past two days and did not go to work. The little one himself went to the room where the handymen lived, and he lay down in the room and slept. The little one didn't dare to alarm him, so he asked someone to watch at the door of the class room and come back to ask you for advice. ”

"You see, is it really him?"

"I can't be wrong, the little one asked the man in the stables about his appearance, and he had a birthmark on the right side of his eye. The little one really looks at it, it's him. ”

"It's just him." Zhou Shu sneered and asked again, "Is Shiquan back?" ”

Shi Quan responded, "I'm here." ”

"Bring me back, I want to live." Zhou Shu commanded.

"Yes." Shi Quan's figure flashed, and the person disappeared again.

Hou Kui heard that Fan Huo's martial arts were good, and he wanted to see what the scene was like when Shi Quan and Fan Huo fought, "Little one, go and see ......."

"No need, before you arrive, Shi Quan will arrest the person back." Zhou Shu understood his thoughts, and said jokingly, "You can't see the excitement when you go, don't waste that effort, it's only serious to take a few people to search Fan Huo's house."

Also, send someone to the backyard and tell the lady about the situation here, so that she will not be in a hurry. ”

"Yes." The monkey replied in a daze, and did as instructed.

As Zhou Shu expected, in less than two quarters of an hour, Shi Quan brought the person over.

It was a young man of twenty-seven or eighteen years of age, of medium stature, and of thin build. The facial features were not outstanding, and a gray-brown birthmark covered the upper and lower eyelids of his right eye, adding a bit of ugliness to him.

His hair was loose in a bun, his clothes were disheveled, and his shirt was torn twice, apparently after a fight. The two arms hung softly against the body, thinking that they had been unloaded by Shi Quan.

Looking around, he suddenly heard a noisy sound of footsteps and shouts outside the door, and was about to ask what was going on, when he saw Hui Bai break free from Cuifeng's pull and rush in, ran to Fan Huo in a few steps, and grabbed his clothes, "Say, where did you get Xiao Ji?" ”

Fan Huo pursed his lips without saying a word, his eyes swayed with the light of a yin owl, and he did not shy away from looking at Hui Bai.

Hui Bai was enraged by his eyes, and punched him, "Say, where is Xiao Ji?" ”

Fan Huo straightened his crooked head and re-focused his gaze, the corners of his mouth slowly hooked, and a gloomy and sympathetic line bloomed.

"Bastard." Hui Bai was completely angry, punched left and right, and asked every time he hit, "Where is Xiao Ji?" ”

Cui Feng hurriedly pulled him away, "Hui Bai, it's useless for you to beat him like this, if you kill him, you won't be able to ask anything." ”

Hui Bai stared at Fan Huo with cracking eyes, gasping for breath.

Zhou Shu saw that Fan Huo's face was covered with blood, his eyes were still calm, and there was no trace of panic, knowing that this was a hard bone, and he didn't waste that tongue, so he ordered directly: "Take him out and hand him over to Longjing for trial." ”
