Chapter 22: The Scene of the Murder Tells the Secret
Soon after he left, Zhang Wenchang and Miss Mu Lan, as well as several other brocade guards, followed the ancient temple one after another, which Zhu Houzhao didn't know, they were on the way in the starry night. I just arrived.
That day, when Mu Lan was on the roof, she saw Zhu Houzhao going in to follow her, and she observed the situation on the roof.
However, she was up there, and she didn't see anything special happening inside or out. It was really the wind that blew all night.
Until early in the morning, Zhu Houzhao did not appear, and the Jiangnan willow did not appear in the house.
She felt that something was wrong.
She immediately returned to Zhu Houzhao's small courtyard, at this time, Zhang Wenchang also returned to the small courtyard, and the result of their research together was that this master may have no big problems, or there may be small troubles, but this will not work, if something goes wrong, his 10,000 heads will not be enough to cut off.
So they searched everywhere, but to no avail. When they were about to report to Gonggong Zhang, carry out a city-wide search, and even wanted to take out the Jinfeng Tower first and dig three feet into the ground, they received a signal from Zhu Houzhao.
It was the smell of a longan, that smell, the guard Wang Han, had a special feeling. That incense was given to Zhu Houzhao by him, telling him that if he lost contact, with this, they could find him.
He could smell the smell of that incense from a long distance, and when all the guards in the small courtyard were looking everywhere, Wang Han smelled this smell outside a courtyard not far from Jinfeng Tower.
They rushed into the courtyard, which was empty, and they found a dungeon, where there was a big hole in the corner, and there was no one in it.
Mu Lan looked at the big hole, and was a little anxious, if this master was lost, he would definitely not be able to get out of it.
However, Zhang Wenchang signaled her not to worry: "In my opinion, the master is not in danger, that incense should be put after he went out, just hoping that we will follow!" We just need to look for traces again! ”
Mullan was just a little better.
They searched around again and again, and finally found it, and Zhu Hou was out of the city. When they found Zhu Houzhao going out of the city, they decided to follow him immediately.
This is, Mu Lan thought of Chen Yingying, although Zhu Houzhao did not say Chen Yingying's identity, and the two of them did not communicate much in the past few days, but on that day, Mu Lan was still grateful for the scene when Chen Yingying helped her speak, so since it was the big boss who didn't know the specific identity to protect, she felt that the big boss was not there, and she had to arrange it.
So, she came to Chen Yingying's room and explained to her that she was about to go out to catch up with the big leader, Mu Lan suggested that Chen Yingying had better recuperate in the small courtyard, and then, wait for the big boss to come back, and wait for the big boss to come back.
Although Chen Yingying was concerned about Uncle Wang and her senior brother, she thought that since that person said that he could protect him, she believed him, and she could wait here, but she thought that if she was injured, she would also want to pursue it.
In the past few days, she found that she already liked to be with him. It seems that with him, no matter how big the difficulty is, he is not afraid, this is before, he didn't feel it, and with him, he felt very safe.
Mu Lan looked at her, she moved slightly, but she didn't say anything, she smiled, and said goodbye to Chen Yingying.
Then, she and Zhang Wenchang prepared dry food and so on together, and followed them under the stars.
When Mu Lan and his party, rushing all night without rest, hurried their horses, and arrived at the ancient temple, they stopped their horses.
"Brother Zhang, I found that there should be some traces here, let's go down and take a look!"
"Okay, Leader Mu!"
Mu Lan jumped off the horse, she handed the reins to her men, and she walked gently towards the temple gate.
As soon as she entered the door, she saw those bloodstains, this basically deserted ancient temple, full of dead branches and leaves, those bloodstains, in the fallen leaves, can still be found. Mullan followed the bloodstain and walked to the huts, where she saw the corpses.
Then, she quickly walked up to the main hall, and she also saw the blood stains on the main hall, and that direction was also towards the hut. She looked at the main hall carefully, and she didn't see much trace of the fight, but she could see some traces of the hidden weapon, and those traces were very clear in the pillars of the main hall.
She saw the traces of hiding behind the main hall, because, in the dust, those traces were obvious, and she also saw the hiding hole under the Buddha statue in the main hall.
There, she saw something that made her heart skip a beat, some long hair, and some other traces. When she was looking for something else, she saw it, a jade pendant, in the dust, and she knew at a glance that it was a precious thing, and she knew that only a person as noble as the big boss would wear it.
What did she think, she basically judged that the big leader was with a woman, and there were many people here last night. The big boss used to hide here. There was something special that happened, although she had no experience in that thing, but she could feel what was going on.
When she blushed, Zhang Wenchang came to her side.
"Leader Mu, did you find any clues?"
"I found out, basically the lord rested here last night, and then, it is estimated that some people have come, and the lord is hiding here!"
Mullan pointed to the Buddha statue. "And then?" Zhang Wenchang asked!
"Then I guess what happened, the lord and they shot and killed a few people!"
"Killed?"
"Yes, the corpse is in the back cabin!"
"Okay, let's go take a closer look at the corpse later!"
"Okay, then the lord and they are estimated to have left safely!"
"Who are they, the lord with?" Zhang Wenchang asked.
"I don't know, it's supposed to be a girl!" Mullan's face flushed slightly. She was also thinking about who the lord was with, and in front of her eyes, Jiang Nanliu's appearance suddenly appeared, and the lord's admiration suddenly appeared
Zhang Wenchang looked at her like that, and muttered in his heart: "This Mu leader won't also fall in love with our lord!" ”
But he didn't say anything, he said, "Go, go and see the corpse!" ”
Mullan joined him and carefully examined the corpse.
"It's the Mongols!" Mullan said.
Zhang Wenchang was taken aback; "Mongols?"
"Yes, look at their heels!"
Zhang Wenchang looked at it, and the heels of these people all had a Mongolian character! But he didn't know him. "Wang Wenbing, take a look!"
This Wang Wenbing, who knows Mongolian, was born in Shanxi, and his family used to go to the Mongol zone to do business with the Mongols. He is also in charge of some very Mongolian-related things in Jinyiwei. This time out of Beijing, he was specially transferred together.
"Left! This word is read left! Mr. Zhang"
This time out of Beijing, it was all agreed in advance, with Zhang Wenchang as the main leader and Mu Lan as the deputy. Gonggong Zhang also knew that he had also mobilized a few good hands to follow, and the follow-up manpower and all kinds of assistance from all over the country were being mobilized, in short, this was a big deal.
Although Zhang Wenchang didn't tell Father-in-law Zhang anything, after all, Zhang Wenchang still didn't want this matter to go to the Queen Mother, because it was estimated that the emperor would not like it.
Anyway, the emperor is estimated to be safe, so what he has to do is to arrive immediately and help at any time.
"Anyway, the emperor is doing this, my Zhang Wenchang's head is no longer on my head, but there is no way, who calls himself this son of heaven, he can only resign himself to fate!" Zhang Wenchang thought to himself.
"Left, what do you mean?" Zhang Wenchang asked.
"From the point of view below, this Zuo should refer to the meaning of King Zuo Xian, these people are the subordinates of King Zuo Xian!" Wang Wenbing said.
"Zuo Xianwang's subordinates?" Mullan was thinking carefully. When she came to Jinyiwei, although she had studied a lot of things on the rivers and lakes in advance, she also had a certain amount of research on military affairs. She knows this Zuo Xian King, but she has to say the specifics of this Wang Wenbing.
"This Zuo Xian Wang, is the current rising star of the tile spur, his father is the former regent of the tile spur, he is the successor to his father's title, but at present he is in the tile spur, together with the tile spur right sage king, manage the country's affairs, the right sage king is cautious, although he has also been at war with my dynasty, but, his style is, while talking at the same time, so, I will explain to him, although he also has a headache, but it is basically controllable. However, it is said that this Zuo Xian King is very vigorous, and he provoked several previous wars, and the Right Xian King fought with us. According to the detailed report from the front, in recent months, this Zuo Xian King has been mobilizing troops and horses and practicing a special formation, as if he was going to fight against our dynasty. ”
"In this way, the kidnapping of Mrs. Wang and the attempt to blow up the firearms prison are also the conspiracy of King Zuo Xian!"
