Cao Miao had already discussed the plan with Xiahou Xuan on the road, and after throwing out the threatening words and suppressing the relevant personnel of the Jinwu Temple, he stepped aside and looked at everyone coldly, seeing that everyone was terrified, and he didn't even dare to come out.

In a separate room, Xiahou Xuan called the people on duty last night in turn to ask about it, and marked the routes they patrolled last night on the map one by one. He wasn't confined to the time period when the Assassin appeared last night, but the whole night. Even if it is not what they have seen with their own eyes and heard with their own ears, as long as it is information that feels abnormal, they can say it.

Because of the fear of not being in line with their peers and being mistaken for lying, everyone is very cautious and recalls carefully.

The one who was not questioned waited obediently, and under Cao Miao's forced gaze, he didn't even dare to talk to each other, consciously separated the distance, waited quietly, and slapped the manuscript by the way. Those who have finished asking cannot leave, so they will wait aside for further inquiries.

There were waiters who brought food and wine, but no one dared to use it.

Only Zang Ba drank unhurriedly, flipped through the official documents very casually, occasionally distracted, and a little absent-minded.

Zang Ai greeted Xiahou Xuan and Cao Miao several times. Xiahou Xuan was very polite, and every time he stood up and returned the salute, Cao Miao didn't move, ignored him, and pretended not to see him. Seeing that Cao Miao was so unkind, Zang Ai didn't dare to say anything, and others didn't dare to be careless.

The school is notorious, so try not to provoke it if you can. Although this person is young, he looks like he doesn't eat hard and soft, and he holds a gold medal in school affairs, so it's better to stay away.

After a whole night of questioning, Xiahou Xuan, based on their statements, sorted out the situation of the cavalry and halberd on duty near his house last night from a large number of trivial details, and drew a picture, connecting several suspicious points, and vaguely seeing the route of the assassin's escape.

The end point is to the good place where Wang Ji lives, and the time is around dawn.

No one had ever seen an Assassin, only one had seen the back of an Assassin. His judgment was similar to Cao Miao's, the assassin was about seven feet three inches to five inches tall, with a vigorous body and flexible movements, and the two-zhang high inner wall was easily climbed over, so he should be a master.

He also provided information that the person might have used some kind of tool to climb the wall. What kind of tool is it requires on-site investigation.

Coming out of the Zhijinwu Temple, Xiahou Xuan was a little excited, and planned to go to Shanli again immediately.

Cao Miao refused. He asked Xiahou Xuan to send someone to Shanli to monitor Wang Ji's residence, but not in the open, but secretly to see if anyone would approach in the past two days. According to the testimony obtained from the temple, it was dawn when the Assassin returned to Shanli, and it is possible that he did not see Wang Ji. If he doesn't know where Wang Ji lives in other places, he will most likely return to Shanli and wait for Wang Ji to come forward.

In this matter, Cao Miao suggested that Xiahou Xuan arrange Xiong Meng to carry it out. Xiong Meng is a good martial artist, a shrewd person, and has seen the body of an assassin, if the assassin shows up, he may recognize it and arrest him. Xiong Meng has rich experience in the military and has considerable command ability.

Cao Miao arranged for her own people to do the rest. The first is to ask Zhang Wei and Han Long to inquire about the news among the rangers to see if there are any such rangers; The first is to ask Shi Caiying to contact the orchids in various provinces to find out the whereabouts of Wang Ji.

learned from Shanli Lizheng's mouth that Wang Ji's wife was not around, and only two concubines were waiting for him. The two concubines were bought after arriving in Luoyang, and they were not brought from Dongjun. Considering Wang Ji's identity and the quality of the concubines he bought, the traffickers who bought and sold human beings should have an impression. If you can find the appearance, age, and even relatives and friends of the two concubines, it is possible to find Wang Ji through them.

Xiahou Xuan can't do these things. There are no such people in his world.

Cao Miao arranged another task for him: to find Gao Xun, inquire about Sun Yong and Cangji, and then go home and sleep well. Without a good rest for two nights in a row, Xiahou Xuan's spirit was very excited, but his body was obviously tired.

Xiahou Xuan happily obeyed his orders and acted separately with Cao Miao.

Cao Miao returned to Princess Deyang's Mansion and fell asleep. By the time he woke up, it was already evening.

When he opened his eyes, he saw Shi Caiying squatting at the door, holding a handful of pine nuts in her hand, "popping and popping", knocking happily like a squirrel, and pieces of pine nut shells flew out of her mouth and fell to the ground. The setting sun shone in and fell on her silhouette, outlining her slender waist and peach-shaped buttocks.

Cao Miao couldn't help laughing, the girl on the grassland is precocious, and her figure is really good.

In the Four Orchids, Shi Caiying is different from the other three, she has never been in a sleep, and even avoids him intentionally or unintentionally, and spends most of her time outside to inquire about news and avoid contact with him. But when she heard that he was in trouble, she rushed back as soon as possible.

Hearing the sound of the bed, Shi Caiying turned her head to look, and saw Cao Miao looking at him with a smile, she was stunned for a moment, and then stood up.

"I've got some news." She said.

Cao Miao nodded, turned over and sat up. "Tell me about it."

"The two concubines that Wang Ji bought were very expensive, not because they were good-looking, but because they were literate. Wang Ji has the habit of letting his concubine study. ”

"What kind of books do you read?"

"It's mainly Confucian classics, but recently I seem to be reading Laozi and Zhuangzi. Beijing masters and celebrities like to talk about Xuan, except for "Yi", which is the most popular "Laozi" and "Zhuangzi". ”

"There shouldn't be many women who can read these books."

Shi Caiying agrees with Cao Miao's analysis. "So it's unlikely that Wang Ji will sell those two. If you can find the traces of these two people, it is possible to find the hiding place of Wang Ji. Wang Ji himself lives in a simple house, but these two concubines want to go out to buy food, and it is more likely that they will meet them. ”

Cao Miao thought about it carefully. "Do you know where to buy vegetables in Luoyang City?"

"Vegetables?"

"Grain can be stored for a period of time, but vegetables are not sparse and must be bought frequently. Ordinary people grow their own vegetables, Wang Ji does not grow vegetables in Shanli, and he does not like to interact with neighbors, and the vegetables he eats every day are bought outside. There shouldn't be many such places. The concubine does not have a carriage and horse, and it will not be too far from the market. Under normal circumstances, the walking distance will not exceed three miles. If you can know where to buy vegetables and vegetables, you may be able to find him within three miles. ”

Shi Caiying pondered for a moment. "What if he lives in someone else's house?"

"It's just a possibility, just keep an eye on it. Finding someone is looking for a needle in a haystack, and you can't let go of any valuable clues. ”

Cao Miao got out of bed and stretched out her feet to put on her shoes. Shi Caiying hesitated, but still squatted in front of Cao Miao and put on shoes for him. Cao Miao looked at the bridge of her straight nose, and suddenly said, "Among your relatives, has anyone been hurt by a man?" ”

Shi Caiying was stunned for a moment, raised her head, glanced at Cao Miao, and crooked the corners of her mouth. "Nope. I just don't like men. ”

"You like women?"

Shi Caiying raised her eyebrows, and the smile on the corner of her mouth flashed. "yes, I like women."

Cao Miao didn't say anything more, turned around and took a pair of flying grabs and handed them to Shi Caiying.
