087 Preparation

After returning from outside, Chi Fei first asked Zhang Xiao'e if she had found anything abnormal.

Ms. Zhang replied that no one had photographed their door, and that no suspicious people had been found wandering around.

Chi Fei was a little settled.

It seems that the Hou Shizi of Changchun did not find out about him.

After returning to the courtyard from Ning Yazhi's house that day, Chi Fei immediately sewed all the important belongings such as silver tickets and house deeds into his underwear, and then quickly contacted the people of Ma Zhong to find a house to rent near his courtyard.

The reason given to the Ma Zhongren is that they are going to renovate the courtyard, so they need to find another place to live temporarily, and they need to be in a hurry.

The Ma Zhong people believed it and immediately began to work hard to help him find a house.

During this period, Chi Fei asked Zhang Xiao'e and Da Niu to take turns to observe the situation outside, and set up a ladder in the backyard just in case.

In this way, if something happens, you can immediately escape from the backyard with them.

Two days later, the Ma Zhong people found a house only a few hundred meters away from the courtyard to rent, but this house is very old and has many broken places, so no one has been caring.

Chi Fei didn't care if the house was old or not, and immediately negotiated with the landlord to rent the house.

That night, Chi Fei asked Zhang Xiao'e and Da Niu to leave the courtyard with some commonly used things such as beds, quilts, buckets, towels, etc., and moved directly into the old house.

After moving in, Chi Fei instructed Zhang Xiao'e and Da Niu to change into shabby clothes, get their faces dirty, and then pretend to be beggars and take turns to go to their courtyard to observe if any strangers came to the door, or if any suspicious characters appeared.

As for Chi Fei himself, he went to various relatively large teahouses and taverns to inquire about the news.

However, the juniors of these big teahouses and taverns are the most well-informed people, because they can hear all kinds of news from the conversations of many guests, so Chi Fei spends money to find out the news from these juniors while paying attention to what other guests are saying.

After a few days of inquiry, I really gained a lot.

Let's talk about this Changchun Hou Shizi first, his full name is Wu Kanggui, and he is indeed the brother of the second princess.

The first generation of Marquis of Changchun was one of the old courtiers who fought with Taizu, and Emperor Taizu not only made the marquis knighted, but also allowed his title to be hereditary and enjoyed all the glory and wealth in order to reward these old courtiers.

It's just that the Marquis of Changchun is good at everything, but the heirs are difficult and the people are thin.

In Wu Kanggui's generation, he is the only man, so he has been spoiled since he was a child, and he almost wants to give something.

In this educational environment, Wu Kanggui naturally became a gentleman.

Since he was a teenager, he often took the children of other families to cause trouble everywhere.

When I grew up a little, I developed a bad habit of liking fishing colors, and whenever I fancied that girl, I would do everything possible to get it, so I ruined a lot of good women.

But because he is the son of the Marquis of Changchun, where can ordinary people have the ability to settle accounts with him, and all of them have been pressed by the Marquis of Changchun.

Wu Kanggui, who was already evildoer, intensified his efforts after his sister became the second princess and became a tyrant in the capital.

It's not the first time I've been in the middle of a city like the last time, and I've injured several civilians before, but no one dared to speak out.

There was once a blind imperial historian who impeached the godson of the Marquis of Changchun for having no way to do it, and it was a disaster for the people. But under the secret intervention of the second prince, it was finally over.

After Wu Kanggui fell off his horse that day, it is said that he not only broke his left leg, but also suffered a lot of injuries to his waist bone.

When the Marquis of Changchun learned of this, he was furious and immediately sent someone to track down the murderer.

However, nothing was found at the scene except an ordinary pair of scissors pierced in the horse's hip, let alone the murderer.

In order to find the murderer, the Marquis of Changchun reported the matter to the government and asked the government to arrest the murderer.

Because the victim was the brother-in-law of the second prince, Zhao Gongming, the patrol of the city who was in charge of the security of the capital, was very nervous, and hurriedly sent someone to track it down and began to look for human and physical evidence.

However, because everyone was watching the excitement intently at that time, no one saw who did it.

When the horse ridden by the Hou Shizi of Changchun was frightened and out of control, the people only cared about walking around, and the scene was very chaotic, and no one would notice any suspicious characters, even when the young man who quarreled with the Hou Shizi of Changchun left.

Zhao Gongming, the imperial historian of the city patrol, suspected that the murderer might be someone who knew the young man, so he did this kind of thing, so he began to search for the young man.

However, the strange thing was that none of the passers-by in the nearby streets had ever seen a young man in a white satin robe pass by.

There are only two possibilities in this case, one is that the boy lives nearby, and the other is that the man left the scene in disguise.

I hope this is the first case, otherwise it will really become a needle in a haystack.

Later, the imperial history of the city patrol learned from the Hou Shizi of Changchun that the young man was likely to be a little lady dressed as a man, which made him even more embarrassed.

In the end, he had no choice but to go to the Changchun Hou Mansion in person and invited Liu Er, the bodyguard of the Hou Mansion who was at the scene at the time, to recognize people together.

However, after a house-to-house survey of all the inhabitants of the entire area, no similar teenagers or girls were found.

The only clue on the scene is the scissors that are tied to the horse's hips.

It was a very ordinary pair of civilian scissors, and it looked like it was still new.

The Imperial History of the City Patrol sent people to all the nearby grocery stores to check if anyone had bought scissors that day, although a few people did buy scissors, but they were too far from the time of the incident at that time to be completely incorrect.

Either there was no human and material evidence, or it didn't work, and the case suddenly reached a deadlock.

Seeing that there was no progress in the case at all, the Marquis of Changchun was very angry, and even angrily scolded Zhao Gongming, the imperial historian of the city patrol, as an incompetent person.

After hearing these news from Xiao Er's mouth, Chi Fei was much more settled.

He didn't buy the scissors at a nearby grocery store, but a merchant with a load of goods was there to watch the excitement.

Taking advantage of his inattention, Chi Fei stole a pair of scissors from his cargo load, and then threw them as darts at the horse that Wu Kanggui was riding at the time.

It is estimated that the merchant himself did not know that a small pair of scissors was missing from the load afterwards, so it was almost impossible to find out anything from the scissors.

Chi Fei felt that the luckiest thing was that when he passed by the ready-to-wear store, he suddenly had an idea and thought of changing Ning Yazhi and the others into other clothes, otherwise it would be difficult to say whether they would be tracked down by the government afterwards. After all, the white satin robe that Ning Yazhi was wearing at that time was too conspicuous.

Although the government couldn't find anything, Chi Fei was still very cautious and did not move back to the courtyard immediately, and waited for a few days.

In order to prevent Jian Shuqi from looking for him, Chi Fei also went to his place to tell him that he was going to go out for a while to find inspiration.

Jian Shuqi believed it, and sure enough, he didn't come to him again.

Chi Fei was so cautious because he knew very well that if he was really found by a scumbag like Wu Kanggui, the prince of Changchun, then there was only a dead end waiting for him.

In the eyes of the ancient magnates, the lives of ordinary people were no different from mosquitoes.

The only thing he can do now is to make all kinds of preparations, just in case.

In the Changchun Marquis Mansion, Wu Kanggui, the son of the Marquis of Changchun, not only had a splint on his left leg and wrapped it tightly, but even his waist was drugged, and he couldn't get up for the time being.

Lying motionless in bed like this and not being able to do anything not only made him feel very uncomfortable, but also filled his heart with resentment.

He swore that he must find the murderer who caused him to be injured like this, and he would make the other party suffer all kinds of torture before he died.

And that chick dressed as a man, if it weren't for her, she wouldn't have become like this.

If he finds her, he must give her a taste of life that is worse than death.

Under this kind of daily suffering, Wu Kanggui, who was already short-tempered, became even more angry, and people under him would be severely beaten by him if they were not as good as he wanted.

For a while, all the people in Wu Kanggui's courtyard were panicked, and they were most afraid of serving him.
