Pence is a middle-aged man in his forties, a little fat, slightly short, and always has a three-point smile on his face, giving people a sense of amiability, but Su Wuming and the others already know what he did, so naturally they don't see him as a decent gentleman.

Pan Si entered the living room, hurriedly saluted Su Wuming and Linghu Qi, and then stood aside and asked, "I heard that Lord Linghu found the concubine of the grass people, I don't know where she is now?" ”

Pence didn't seem to know that Midorihime had been murdered, so he said it, and the tone of his voice was very unacceptable, because his tone was as if Midorihime was a commodity of his own.

After listening to Pence's words, Ling Huqi said coldly: "There is unfortunate news for you, Miss Green Ji has been murdered!" ”

"What?" Hearing this, Panston was shocked and almost wanted to fall, and then shook his head a little frantically and said: "Impossible, this is absolutely impossible, how could she be killed and murdered, is Lord Linghu joking?" ”

"Do you think Ben-sama is joking?" Ling Huqi looked at Pence and said coldly.

Pence was a little sad, but soon, his sadness turned into anger: "Lord Linghu, who killed Midorihime, I want to avenge her!" ”

"The murderer doesn't have any clues for the time being, and I called you here today to learn something about you. This is the Dali Temple sent by the imperial court to patrol the Jianghuai Si Zhi Su nameless Su Lord, what will Lord Su ask you later, you will answer honestly. ”

Pan Si responded again and again, and then glanced at Su Wuming with his peripheral vision, Su Wuming didn't say much nonsense, and asked directly: "I heard that Lu Ji escaped from your mansion?" ”

A cold sweat broke out on Pence's forehead, and he nodded after a long time: "Exactly." ”

"Have you sent someone to look for it?"

"I looked for it, but I didn't find any trace of Midorihime."

"As the richest man in Zixi County, the wall must be very tall, like the wall in your house, how did a weak woman escape from the green girl?"

"This ...... I don't know about this grass people, because Midorihime has a separate courtyard, and she always misunderstands me, so I rarely go to her place, and then her maid said that she couldn't find her, and I only then knew that Midorihime had run away. ”

"So, you don't know anything about Midorihime's escape and killing?"

"Back to Lord Su, the grass people really don't know about Lu Ji's escape and killing, but the grass people can vaguely guess who the murderer is!"

Hearing Pence's words, Su Wuming was very interested and asked, "Oh, do you know who the murderer is?" ”

"Exactly!"

"Who is it?"

"It must be that Huo Ru, after Lu Ji escapes, she will definitely go to Huo Ru, and now that Lu Ji has been killed, it is very likely that the murderer is Huo Ru, I heard that this Huo Ru is a very rigid scholar, Lu Ji ran away to find him, not only will he not appreciate it, but it is very likely that he will scold Lu Ji because he has lost herself to me!"

Hearing Pans's words, Su Wuming's brows condensed slightly, and he said, "Huo Ru is such a person? ”

After Su Wuming asked this sentence, he set his eyes on Ling Huqi, and when Ling Huqi saw this, he responded again and again: "Although this Huo Ru is very talented, it is said that his personality is indeed a little extreme, and he is too rigid in etiquette, and he will definitely not accept a woman like Lu Ji again." ”

After listening to Ling Huqi's words, Nangong Yan was a little angry, what she couldn't get used to was a pretentious man like Huo Ru, obviously she had no ability to protect her woman, but in the end she put all the fault on the woman.

And just when Nangong Yan was about to say something, Su Wuming suddenly looked at Pan Si and said, "After Lu Ji marries you, is it safe?" ”

"This ...... It's just that she ignores me, and there were a few troubles in the first few days after entering the house, but then she slowly quieted down, thinking that she had given up resistance, but she didn't expect him to want to find a chance to escape. ”

"Midorihime escaped, what clues can be left behind about her residence?"

"This ...... This grass folk doesn't know, but all the valuable things in her house were taken away, so when I first found out that Green Ji was gone, I still had a feeling of being deceived, thinking that this Green Ji marrying me was clearly a trap, in order to run away with money after marrying me, but then I thought about it, I felt unlikely, there was a woman who used her chastity to seek that money, so I think Green Ji took the money away, probably to fly away with that Huo Ru, after all, Huo Ru is a scholar and has no money in his hand, but if they have the money that Midorihime took away, they can live a leisurely life outside. ”

Hearing Pans's words, Su Wuming suddenly felt puzzled, because according to the information they knew, after Lu Ji fled to Lin'an County, she did not live in an inn, but in a broken temple, if she had money on her, how could she live in a broken temple?

Could it be that before she fled to Lin'an County, she had already seen Huo Ru, and she gave all the money to Huo Ru?

Su Wuming felt that it was really necessary for them to meet Huo Ru, but before going to meet Huo Ru, there was one thing he had to ask Pence clearly.

"Boss Pan is the richest man in Zixi County, with tens of millions of assets in his family, the house must be heavily guarded, no one will see Lu Ji fleeing, the official will never believe it, if Boss Pan has something to hide, it is best to say it now, and if the official investigates it, I am afraid it will not be so easy to speak." Su Wuming's tone was very calm at this time, but no matter who could hear the threat in this sentence.

Pan Siben still wanted to argue, but when he saw Su Wuming's eyes, his heart suddenly sank, and after a long time, he hesitated: "The matter is ...... Things are indeed as Master Su expected, when Midorihime fled, I ...... I know. ”

Hearing Pans's words, everyone was surprised, they never thought that Green Hime's escape, this Pence actually knew, and he knew, but just now he also told a bunch of nonsense to all of them, if it wasn't for Su Wuming suddenly asking him questions, I'm afraid he would still want to continue to deceive everyone, and when everyone knew this, they suddenly felt that this Pence was very suspicious, it must be that he couldn't see Green Hime's sincerity, so he pretended to take the opportunity of Green Hime's escape to kill him outside.

Everyone turned their eyes to Su Wuming, they wanted to know what Su Wuming thought of this matter, and before Su Wuming could start asking, Pan Si suddenly asked, "Master Su guessed just now?" ”

Su Wuming smiled lightly: "It's not a guess, from your answer just now, I think you know about Lu Ji's escape, and even guess that she may go to Huo Ru, and then no matter what, Lu Ji is missing, you should always be in a hurry, but Lu Ji has been missing for many days, but you haven't reported it to the county government, and the reason for being afraid of being made fun of, do you think it makes sense?" I'm afraid it's even more embarrassing if I can't find Midorihime! ”

Speaking of this, Su Wuming continued: "Your mansion is heavily guarded, and Midori Ji has been disobedient to you many times, according to your situation, will you let Midori stay in the mansion, I'm afraid that Midori Ji is guarded for twelve hours a day, right?" If you hadn't deliberately let her escape, the official really couldn't understand how a weak woman like her could escape! ”

Pans's doubts were answered, and after being answered, his expression suddenly calmed down a lot, and after smiling faintly, he said: "Lord Su has heard the case like a god's order, and now when I see it, it really deserves its reputation, what Lord Su said is right, that Green Ji has always wanted to escape, but has been stopped by my people many times, and then I felt that this is not the way, so I signaled to my subordinates to give Green Ji a chance to let her escape." ”

At this time, Pence spoke steadily, and when he spoke like this, everyone suddenly felt that he did live up to the title of the richest man in Zixi County.

"Boss Pan deliberately let Lu Ji escape, so why?"

Pan Si smiled lightly: "It's not a secret, I like Green Ji very much, I have investigated many of her situations for her, what she likes to eat, what she likes to do, whose poetry she likes, I have inquired clearly, and even what kind of person Huo Ru is that she likes, and because of this, I deliberately let Green Ji escape, because I know what kind of person Huo Ru is, I believe that as long as Green Ji runs away to find Huo Ru, Huo Ru will definitely not accept her, at that time, Green Ji is disheartened and homeless, And if I reappear, I will definitely be able to win her heart, even if I can't, but at least I can make her feel warm, but things are not as I imagined, things went wrong halfway. ”

"Oh, what's the problem?"

"After Green Ji escaped, I sent a spy to follow, but Green Ji seemed to know that she was being followed, she actually kept going to a crowded place, but on the lively street, my spy was dumped by her, which I didn't expect, but before letting Green Ji escape, I moved high and ordered someone to monitor Huo Ru, but after a few days of surveillance, the Green Ji did not go to Huo Ru, until this time, I understood that I had returned, something was wrong."

Pence is the richest man in Zixi County, and he is not inferior to others in terms of financial resources and intelligence, and he can be regarded as a chess player in things such as putting Green Ji and arranging spies, but people sometimes make mistakes, so Green Ji did not go to Huo Ru.

But why didn't Lu Ji go to Huo Ru, because she knew Huo Ru very well, and knew that she couldn't get a good result if she went to him? Or did she and Huo Ru discuss a long time ago, and after she escaped, the two should not meet first, and after the turmoil subsided, the two would meet again?

If the latter is the case, then the two of Lu Ji and Huo Ru are really a little far-sighted. And if that's the case, then Midorihime's killing is a bit incredible.
