Xu San was about to say something, but saw Xiao Liuzi suddenly appear in the corner and was looking at him.

Xu Sanxin understood and said to Wang Shicheng: "Then General Lao will fill these two water tanks, and I will go back!" ”

After speaking, Xu San threw down the bucket and left.

"Hey! Xu San! Wang Shicheng shouted: "I still have something!" ”

Xu Santou didn't reply, and walked away quickly.

Xu San entered his house, and Liuzi also entered the house, and poked his head vigilantly to look outside.

"How? Did you find any news? Xu San asked.

Xiao Liuzi said: "Third uncle, since you gave the order yesterday, the brothers have checked the situation of the people who enter and leave Yecheng every day these days, and Miss Qin doesn't seem to have entered the city, as if she came out of thin air!" ”

"Are you sure?" Xu San turned to look at Liuzi and asked, "There are so many people who enter and leave the city every day, and there are eight or nine gates in the entire Yecheng City, all of which have been checked clearly?" ”

"You can't be mistaken!"

"Oh? Why are you so sure? Xu San asked.

"Since the first emperor slaughtered many displaced people, there are many fewer people entering and leaving Yecheng every day, and it is already the end of the year recently, and the weather is cold, and there are even fewer people in and out! Miss Qin is as beautiful as a flower, if she enters through which gate, the people in the patrol camp will not be impressed at all! And our people have been looking around Yecheng, and there are our people on several main roads leading to Yecheng, if they come from outside the city, there is no reason why they can't find it......"

"You mean to say that Miss Qin has been in Yecheng all along? Never left? Xu San frowned slightly.

"That's how it should be......" said Rokuko.

"She's been in Yecheng?" Xu San couldn't help but fall into deep thought, walked back and forth in the house, and said slowly: "As far as I know, she has no relatives and no reason in Yecheng, where can she settle down in these months?" ”

"Yes, I also think it's strange that in order to find her, I almost turned the entire Yecheng over! But no trace was found! ”

"No, no, no......" Xu San waved his hand and pondered for a long time. Said slowly: "Are you sure you have searched every corner of Yecheng?" ”

"Of course it's decided!" Liuzi nodded vigorously.

"Then where has she been in Yecheng for so long?"

"That's right! Except for the mansions of those dignitaries and nobles, the rest of the places were searched! The sixth son thought for a while, and then said: "Third uncle, didn't you say that she had no relatives and no reason in Yecheng, it shouldn't be hiding from someone's house, right?" ”

Xu San suddenly realized and said, "What you said has some truth! ”

"Uncle, you let us check this, could it be that there is something wrong with Mr. Qin and Miss Qin?" Xiao Liuzi asked in a low voice.

"Don't talk nonsense!" Xu San scolded: "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask!" ”

"Oh......" Liuzi lowered his head stupidly.

"The man in black who asked you to check, has there been any progress?" Xu San asked again.

Xiao Liuzi shook his head and said, "No, all the official residences in Yecheng are stared at by our people, but nothing suspicious has been found, uncle, do you think Gongzi guessed wrong?" ”

"Impossible!" Xu San said firmly: "Childe's guess must be right!" ”

"But ......"

"If this matter can be figured out so easily, why do we need to go to such great lengths to investigate?" Xu San poked Xiao Liuzi's head and said, "This matter is very important! Tell me to go down and find out! ”

"Yes!"

"And!" Xu San said solemnly to Xiao Liuzi: "This group of people in black is very likely to be extraordinary, let everyone below pay attention to safety!" ”

"Yes!"

……

Zhang Bao leaned alone next to the brazier, holding a book in his hand and watching, the warm sunlight shining into the house, giving people a little comfort and comfort. There was still steaming in the flask next to him, and the jug of wine was obviously freshly scalded.

With a "squeak", the door was opened, and a person stood outside the curtain and said, "My lord, there is news in the palace!" ”

When Zhang Bao heard this, his eyes changed slightly, he threw the book aside, and ordered: "Come in and talk!" ”

"Yes......"

The man answered, opened the curtain and walked in, this person was the old king who held You Jian hostage in Dali Temple that day.

"Your Excellency!" Old Wang Tou handed a note to Zhang Bao.

Zhang Bao opened the note and looked at it, his face immediately changed, and he asked, "Is this news reliable?" ”

"There should be no problem! The news came out from the forbidden army, and the person who revealed the news was on an errand in Yongchang Pavilion that night! According to the analysis of the situation he saw, His Majesty may have been completely unconscious at that time! ”

"Unconsciousness?" Zhang Bao got up slowly, frowned, and said, "As far as I know, Your Majesty has never had such a situation before!" How can you suddenly kill someone without realizing it? ”

"I said that I was unconscious, but I heard that man that His Majesty could walk, understand, speak, and see at that time! It looks like a fully awake person! It's just that compared to the usual Majesty, it's like a different person! ”

"Could it be that Your Majesty has provoked the ghosts?" Zhang Bao said.

The old king thought for a while, and then said: "But I heard that the eunuchs and maids who usually serve in Yongchang Pavilion have discussed in private, Your Majesty seems to have changed his temperament greatly since he ascended the throne, and he often loses his temper without warning, and suddenly it is like nothing has happened, and it is completely two people ...... before."

"I also perceive that Your Majesty is not the same as before! I just haven't been paying attention! When you said that today, I remembered that it seemed like this was the case! Zhang Bao stroked his beard and said.

The villain felt that no matter who suddenly became the emperor, I am afraid that his temperament would change somewhat, but ...... "The old king is a little distracted."

Zhang Bao glanced at him and ordered, "Finish speaking!" ”

The old king thought for a while and said calmly: "The villain thinks that this situation of Your Majesty is nothing more than two possibilities, either the evil spirit will fall into your body and make Your Majesty crazy, or it will be ......."

"What's it?" Zhang Bao hurriedly asked.

"Either Your Majesty is really crazy......"

"Nonsense! Daring! Zhang Bao scolded.

The old king hurriedly knelt down and said, "The villain is just guessing, nothing else!" ”

"If you spread this, I'm afraid it will be enough to behead you all over the house!" Zhang Bao reprimanded.

"The villain understands!" The old king knelt on the ground and said, "But my lord, the villain's conjecture is not unfounded!" ”

"On the basis? On what basis? Zhang Bao asked coldly.

"The villain has been in Dali Temple for so many years, and he has never been on death row, and he can come out of death row alive, and the villain can count them on one hand, but many people are on death row, and in the end they are not executed by the above, but they go crazy, and then commit suicide......"

The old king said, paused, and glanced up at Zhang Bao.

"Don't look at me, finish talking!" Zhang Bao commanded.

The old king nodded silently, and said: "My lord, think about it, I have been locked up in that dark and damp place that has not seen the light of day for half a year, and I basically can't see a single person in those half years, even if it is a dead person!" Can't tell the difference between day and night, and don't know what year and month it is outside, this kind of experience, most people will go crazy if they don't die! The villain thinks that His Majesty's temperament has changed drastically, and it must have something to do with this matter! ”
