Xue Rui went to the yamen of Dali Temple early in the morning to show his face, thinking that there was no important matter, so he left early under the pretext of leaving early, went back to the house to change into his official clothes, took out a wooden box from the dark compartment at the head of the bed and hid it in his arms, and asked Lao Cui to drive the carriage to the west of the city to find Yu Shu.

Xue Rui calculated that Yu Shu would not go out today, and he would definitely hide and avoid trouble at home, so he went out together yesterday, and he did not tell Yu Shu in advance that he would come to her today.

Who knew that when he arrived at He's house, he pounced.

"Xue Gongzi, our girl is not here, she went out." Yu Shu's little maid, Kidney Bean, stood at the door and told him.

Xue Rui was surprised, and hurriedly asked Yu Shu's whereabouts: "Do you know where you went?" ”

"It's the young lady who came with Jing Gongzi, who came to deliver something to the young lady, and the two of them went out together, and the slave didn't know where they went."

With Jingchen, Shui Yun?

Xue Rui was very puzzled, he couldn't figure out what Jingchen's junior sister was doing with Yu Shu, and he couldn't figure out how Yu Shu ran away with someone on this murderous day.

"How long have they been gone? Can you be accompanied? Xue Rui was worried, so he asked a few more words, and Zhilu Dao Shui Yun accompanied the guards, and was somewhat relieved, thinking that they might not be there for a long time, so he went in and waited for Yu Shu to come back.

Half an hour passed in a blink of an eye, Yu Shu never came back, seeing the sun rising higher and higher, Xue Rui became more and more impatient, at this time, a crow flew down from the door of the living room, quacked a few times, very unlucky, Xue Rui had a palpitation for no reason, he couldn't sit still, got up to say goodbye, and hurried to the princess's mansion.

When I arrived at the princess's mansion, I happened to encounter a mess in front of the door, and seven or eight guards gathered together, like headless flies, all with nervous faces.

Xue Rui got out of the car and vaguely heard the words "gone" and "can't be found", and his intuition was not good. He stepped forward quickly, asked with a straight face, "What are you doing here!" ”

Among these guards in the princess's mansion, there are inevitably people who recognize the eldest son of the Xue family, and someone was immediately pushed out to answer: "Yu, Xue Gongzi, it's the water girl in our mansion who is missing." Daozi has not returned from the palace, and there is no one in charge at the moment, and the big guy is discussing to find it separately. ”

Hearing this, Xue Rui felt a sigh in his heart, Shui Yun was gone, what about Yu Shu?

Vaguely guessing a possibility, Xue Rui immediately darkened his face: "Who followed the water girl out today." Stand up and speak! ”

Xue Rui is now working in Dali Temple, he is a sophisticated person, and he asked what happened in a few words, it turned out that after Shui Yun and Yu Shu left the He family, they went to a teahouse in the downtown area, and they retreated left and right to go upstairs to talk, and the two guards waited downstairs, and they didn't come down for a long time. I went upstairs to look for someone, who would have thought that the second daughter would seem to disappear out of thin air and disappear.

Xue Rui's face was cloudy. There was a hidden anger, and the dark eyes swept over the faces of the two guards on duty, which suddenly made the back of the two of them feel cold on the back of their necks, and their heads were as big as oxen.

It's okay if Yu Shu is alone and doesn't see her, but it is Shui Yun who doesn't see her with her, so Xue Rui can't help but think about the bad things, he only persuaded Liu Tanshu last night to make a big move and let him avoid the edge for the time being. Something happened to the person today, saying that he was missing and missing, and eighty percent was robbed by someone sent by one of the masters of Qiong Yulou!

Xue Rui was anxious, knowing that it was not time for him to attack, he quickly arranged for them to act separately with a cold face: "You, quickly go to Qiongyu Tower and ask the Nine Emperor Princes to come back." Don't alarm others, wait in the house for Daozi to come back and tell him what happened. Lao Cui, you take the sign and go home and bring a few good hands out, the two of you, and the rest of the people, follow me to that teahouse! ”

Concerned about Yu Shu's safety, Xue Rui thought that the carriage was slow, so he pulled the guards and stepped on a horse, and then took four or five people and galloped towards the downtown with a strong wind.

***

Xue Rui took someone to find the teahouse, showed the Dali Temple waist card, without saying a word, let people seal the building, the front and back doors were each sent two people to guard, showing a few snowy waist knives, the guests in the building were not allowed to run away, and led a guard who followed Shui Yun in the morning, and the shopkeeper nodded and led the way in front of him, and went up to the second floor.

The two guards before were not stupid, and after finding out that the person was missing, they asked the shopkeeper to lock the room and prevent people from entering, so it still maintains the appearance of Shui Yun and Yu Shu when they left.

Xue Rui's case has been investigated a lot, the means are there, after checking indoors for a week, he found that there was a problem with the tea that had already been cold on the table, and immediately asked people to go to the back kitchen to catch a rooster to pour a mouthful, and saw that the rooster drank cold tea, swayed and took two steps, then fell to the ground, fainted, Xue Rui's face was so ugly and ugly, a palm slapped heavily on the tea table, and the official authority appeared, so frightened that the shopkeeper and the shopkeeper immediately knelt down and begged for mercy.

"My lord, my lord is clear, how can there be a problem with this, this tea, the shop is innocent, and he has never done anything that hurts the heavens and reason, someone must have framed him, my lord."

The guard kicked the person to the ground, Xue Rui ignored it, pressed his hand on the table, stared at the two cups of tea, and saw some clues from the position of the tea set-

The tea was poured by the man sitting on the right, the water in the pot was only missing a cup, the cup on the right side of the table was empty, but the cup he fed the rooster just now was not much less, and there were no tea stains on the clean mouth.

The person who poured the tea obviously understands the tea ceremony very well, so it must not be Yu Shu.

Xue Rui turned his brain, and after a while, he came to a conclusion that made him not know whether to be happy or angry: Yu Shu's girl had never drunk this fierce tea!

Xue Rui looked around the room, found no traces of struggle and fighting, frowned suspiciously, while speculating, slowly walked to the door, squatted down, through the light from the skylight, his hand brushed on the ground in front of the door, and found that a layer of dust was missing, and then turned his head to look at the few open high windows in the house, his eyes flashed, and he had a rough idea in his heart, and secretly gritted his teeth and scolded: This girl who doesn't make people worry, when did she learn so well!

"Childe, the little one brought someone here." Lao Cui didn't know when he stood at the door and reported to Xue Rui.

Xue Rui stood up, pointed to the shopkeeper and Xiao Er on the ground, and said in a deep voice: "Take away for interrogation, leave a few people to check the guests in the tea house, and send a few more people to the back door to see where it leads, and ask if there are any carriages and sedan chairs passing by along the road, and go quickly." ”

"Yes."

***

It is said that Yu Shu and Shui Yun were arrested, tied up and put in a sack, and sent away from the back door of the teahouse.

is different from Shui Yun's unconscious, as early as the door bumped into the two strange men, Yu Shu fainted, knowing that her little fist and embroidered legs were difficult to beat, so she bit the tip of her tongue all the way and was thrown into a car, smelling a foul smell, so she didn't spit it out.

There was no light in the sack, Yu Shu didn't dare to move, her fingers touched the Jinbao shrunken in her sleeve, and pricked up her ears to listen to the movement outside, but the person who drove the car was very cautious and didn't talk, so she couldn't listen.

In the current situation, after the panic, Yu Shu was much sobered up by the smell, and he calmed down a little and was able to think: Drugged in the tea, it is obvious that the other party was premeditated and well prepared, and he was definitely not a human trafficker who kidnapped tickets. In this way, the other party is either coming for her or Shui Yun.

Yu Shu's first thought was the eleventh prince she offended at the princess's mansion dinner, but she was not sure that Xue Rui had guaranteed her that Liu Hao and Liu Yi would not attack her, so they would arrest her if they were so good, and they were all with Shui Yun.

Just catch her, a white-bodied Yike, if she dies, she will die in vain, but Shui Yun is different, she is a tall foot under the Taiyi Sect of Longhu Mountain, Jing Chen, the same junior sister of the Imperial Daozi, the little aunt of the Nine Emperor Prince Liu Tan, recently made a splash at the Shuangyang Club and arrested her, didn't she stab the hornet's nest?

If the goal is himself at the beginning, then he should also pick her when she is alone, but she catches up with Shui Yun, wouldn't she be confused.

Yu Shu thought about it, but still felt that the other party was more likely to target Shui Yun, and she was just the unlucky one by the way.

The car was not moving smoothly, dangling around, she could touch another sack behind her, knowing that there was a water basket there, and she was annoyed and hateful, it was really a blessing or a curse, it was a disaster that could not be avoided, and it was only blamed that she was curious, and she did not honestly hide from the disaster at home, and actually hit the muzzle of the gun.

But fortunately, Shui Yun was arrested, and someone would definitely be in a hurry to find her, presumably Jing Chen and Liu Tan had already known that they were gone, and they would definitely send someone to rescue them.

Yu Shu felt a little calmer, and the back of his head ached faintly, so he closed his eyes for a while, and then opened them vigilantly, blaming himself for pinning his own safety on others just now, and he really fell back the more he lived.

Immediately, he was in a spirit of 120,000 points, thinking about a way to get out.

***

On February 13th, the wind and the sun were beautiful, and in the Qiongyu Building, several princes were seated, and as far as the eye could see, only the Ninth Emperor Liu Tan was missing a seat beside him.

was asked early in the morning, Liu Tan only said that Kun Xi had a cold yesterday and was sick in bed, and several other princes heard that they were concerned about a few words on their faces, but in fact, they sneered behind their backs, and secretly said that Liu Tan was still acquainted.

It was about to be noon, the competition in the audience was suspended, and everyone was about to enter the building for dinner, when a guard held a waist card, bowed his head and walked to the corridor, approached Liu Tan, whispered a few words, and Liu Tan's face changed instantly.

Jiawang Liu Si walked beside him, and when he saw it, he asked, "What's wrong with Brother Eleven?" ”

Hearing this, King Ning and Liu Yu also turned their eyes to Liu Tan.

Liu Tan smiled reluctantly, and said with a forehead: "The cold wind blew in the morning, and I have a headache here, and I don't think there is anything to see in the afternoon, so I'll go back and rest first." ”

The princes, who were older than him, symbolically cared for him a few words and let him go.

Liu Hao looked at Liu Tan's back as he left in a hurry, the corners of his mouth curled up with a touch of coldness, and before he was noticed, he changed his face to a warm face, looking like a loving brother, and pulled Liu Yi into the dining pavilion in the building for a banquet.
