Chapter 40: I must say a few kind words for you

Cao Shuo really plans to go out to find a girl.

He was looking for an acquaintance, although he had only met him once, and it was dark, and neither of them could see each other's faces clearly at that time.

But he knew that Wancheng was so tightly searched, only that person could help them leave!

Of course, if you want that person to help, you have to have a good reason!

Otherwise, if you go to her, you will only kill yourself!

When he came to the front hall and saw that the door was closed, Cao Shuo asked the steward, "Why didn't you open the door for business today?" ”

"Zunjia may not know that someone assassinated General Hu last night." The steward said: "General Hu's wife and uncle were also killed!" The city is hunting for assassins, who would dare to open the door? Isn't that okay to get yourself in trouble? ”

Hu Che'er's wife's uncle died at the hands of Cao Shuo, he not only knew, but also knew the details very well.

He pretended not to know and asked the steward, "Is Hu Che'er dead?" ”

The steward said: "I heard that General Hu is fine, but his wife and uncle are dead." ”

"Since General Hu is fine, the current search should be just a gust of wind." Cao Shuo said: "No matter how tight the search for assassins is, we can't delay the livelihood of the people in the city because of this!" ”

"Don't mention any livelihood." The steward sighed and said, "It's good to be able to save your life!" Someone came to search last night, and I don't know when he went out, and when he saw that there was no one in the room, I told them that the reception in the store might have already left. That's when they were sent away. ”

"Searched last night?" Cao Shuo was stunned.

"Not only was my house searched." The steward said: "I searched this street from house to house, and even the water tank in the backyard had to see if there were any Tibetans. I really don't know who dares to be so bold, even Hu Che'er's idea to fight! ”

Cao Shuo was secretly glad that it was not too early to meet Qin Nu last night.

If she had met earlier, let the dead man take her back to the pavilion, and happened to bump into Zhang Xiujun to search, it would have been a big trouble!

The places that have been searched are often the safest.

Fortunately, while there was a time difference, Cao Shuo was also sure that the building was safe, at least temporarily.

As long as they can leave Wancheng within a day, even if Zhang Xiujun turns the city upside down, it has nothing to do with them!

"It looks like the search is tight." Cao Shuo asked, "Do you have a back door?" ”

"There's a back door." The steward said: "Now that people are arrested on the street, why should you go out and ask for trouble?" ”

"I have something to do." Cao Shuo said: "When I see the person I am looking for, no one should trouble me." ”

"Childe knows General Zhang?" The steward blurted out.

When he asked this, he was muttering in his heart.

Cao Shuo and others live here, and he also said that Zhang Xiu is not, in case he really knows Zhang Xiu, I am afraid that he will not have a good life in the future!

"I don't know Zhang Xiu." Cao Shuo's words reassured the steward a lot: "I just know his staff Jia Wenhe." ”

"I didn't expect Zunjia to have a friendship with Jia Gong." The steward hurriedly said: "In addition to General Zhang in Wancheng, it belongs to the power of Duke Jia. As long as Jia Gong can be found, General Hu should be able to say anything. ”

"There is friendship." Cao Shuo said: "I originally planned to do what I was doing, and then I went to ask to see him, but I didn't expect Wancheng to make so much trouble." Now it's a hassle to even go out, let alone inquire where he lives? ”

"Don't you know where Duke Jia lives?" The steward asked.

"I only knew that he was in Wancheng, and I didn't ask where he lived." Cao Shuo said: "Wancheng belongs to Zhang Xiu, and Jia Gong works under him, if it weren't for these messes, anyone should be able to ask." ”

"That's right." The steward said, "Jia Gong's residence is only two streets away from here. Go out from the back door to the south, there is a stone pile at the entrance of the street, and there is a vermilion gate twenty steps away from the stone pile, and the door is hung with a black lacquer plaque. ”

"I thought I couldn't find it." Cao Shuo thanked him: "Fortunately, you are still here, show the way today, and there will be heavy thanks in the future!" ”

"You don't need to be polite." The steward said: "Before leaving Wancheng, I still have to rely on the honorable driver. ”

"Don't worry!" Cao Shuo said: "I will say a few more good words for you." ”

The steward said happily, "Please follow me to the back door." ”

Passing through the backyard where the horses are tethered is the back door of the building.

This small door is usually reserved for food delivery people and shop staff, and is rarely open to guests.

Opening the back door, the steward probe looked out and said to Cao Shuo: "There is no one on the street, be careful all the way!" ”

"Thank you!" Cao Shuo arched his hand again and walked out of the small door.

The streets are deserted.

Zhang Xiujun was busy searching for assassins, and few people dared to run into the streets at such a time to make trouble for themselves!

Cao Shuo didn't dare to swagger down the street.

Every time he travels a certain distance, he has to find a place to hide, observe the surrounding environment, make sure there is no danger, and then continue on.

After passing two streets, Cao Shuo saw a stone stake standing at the corner of the street in front of him.

The stone piles stand straight in the middle of the street, making this street look a little different from other streets.

At the door of a house not far from the stone pile, two guards stood.

It is not a particularly important official's residence, and it is impossible for a guard to guard it outside the door.

Looks like he's in the right place!

Quietly going around to the courtyard wall of the house, Cao Shuo first visually measured the height of the wall, and then looked around.

Making sure there was no one nearby, he leaped forward and grabbed the wall with both hands.

If it was him before the crossing, it would have been easier to get on such a wall.

However, at this time, he was too physically restrained, and although he grabbed the wall, he couldn't get up immediately.

With both arms exerting force, Cao Shuo pouted his ass and exerted all his strength, and finally climbed up in an extremely indecent shape.

Squatting on the wall and scanning the courtyard, he found that Jia Xu's residence was not very large, similar to the mansion of ordinary rich families, and it was also divided into two courtyards, and the backyard was only a few dozen steps away from the outer courtyard.

Judging the direction of the backyard, Cao Shuo jumped off the wall.

With his feet on the ground and a muffled sound, he immediately crouched down, alertly observing the situation around him.

Assassins were searched everywhere in the city, but Jia Xu's residence was as if nothing had happened.

The guards guarding this place were just standing where they were supposed to stand, not even patrolling.

On both sides of the road in the courtyard, some dwarf flowers and plants are planted.

In the depths of winter, the flowers and plants have withered, but there are still some stalks.

Under the cover of dense stalks, Cao Shuo quietly reached the backyard.

Entering the backyard, Cao Shuo found that the layout here was much more elegant than the front yard.

Two or three bluestone paths crisscross each other, and some evergreen dwarf shrubs are planted on the side of the road, and although it is in the middle of winter, the backyard is still spring.
