Chapter 40: Little Black

"My lord, this was found in the innermost room on the second floor, the clothes and shoes were not tidied up, obviously taken off in a hurry, the person should still be upstairs. But the subordinates have turned upstairs upstairs, and in addition to finding these girls and maids, not a single suspicious person has been found. ”

At this time, Tong Xuan walked in front of Yue Su with the clothes and boots he had found, and reported it truthfully.

Yue Su glanced at it and said, "Bring everyone over and let me take a look." ”

Tong Xuan asked the nineteen people brought down to stand in a row in front of Yue Su, Yue Su looked at them one by one, remembering the flowers and branches worn by the girls one by one, wearing heavy makeup, wearing fat and thin, all types. The little maids are dressed plainly, and their faces can be seen clearly. Everyone looked terrified. Yue Su looked at it for a long time, but he didn't see which one looked similar to the eunuch.

Yue Su pondered for a moment and said, "Tong Xuan, you go back to the yamen now, and go to the women's prison to call thirty jailers over." By the way, by the way, I invited my wife and asked her to bring the dog with me. ”

"Yes." Tong Xuan agreed, and hurriedly left the Jade Pavilion and returned to the Yamen. What are you looking for a female jailer for, Tong Xuan understands that the adult must be searched, and only when men and women are allowed to take the girl in consideration of the fact that they are allowed to take the girl. But what does it mean to call Mrs. Shang? Madame's dog is a bit of a ghost, but will it help the case?

With curiosity, Tong Zhou rushed to the mansion, he was the chief catcher, and immediately summoned thirty female jailers as soon as he gave an order. When she went to call Ruan Aoyue, Ruan Aoyue's excited posture almost didn't scare Tong Xuan. Ruan Aoyue hurriedly changed into a man's clothes, led the dog and broke out, and that professionalism was even better than Yue Su.

When Tong Zhou returned home, Yue Su was not idle here, and had already begun to order a search of all men's bodies, whether you were a scoop guest who came to play or a subordinate in the hall, you would not let go.

The officers gathered all the men together and searched them one by one, and when they found a middle-aged man wearing a man's robe, the man's face seemed to be suddenly covered with a layer of black gas, and black blood flowed from the corners of his mouth.

"My lord, this man committed suicide, the same way that the big teapot died just now." Seeing the middle-aged man commit suicide, the servant hurriedly shouted loudly.

"Search me carefully to see what he has on him!" Yue Su shouted loudly.

The messenger untied the middle-aged man's clothes, and sure enough, an iron dragon slaying order fell out. The messenger picked it up and presented it to Yue Su, "My lord, I found this on him." ”

"Okay, I didn't expect the Dragon Slaying Gang here in the capital to be so strong, and all the dead soldiers came. Follow up with me, and all those who have the ability will commit suicide! Yue Su shouted angrily. He then pointed to the bustard and asked, "What is this man doing?" ”

He ...... He's our tent here......," said the old bustard, trembling.

"The turtle and the tent are all members of the Dragon Slaying Gang, and it seems that you are too?" Yue Su asked sharply.

"My lord......." The old bustard was startled, and quickly knelt down, "The woman is not ......"

"Both of them work for you in this hall, if you say that you have nothing to do with them, who will believe you?" Yue Su said angrily: "Now this mansion will give you two ways to go, or you will follow their example, and you will also commit suicide by taking poison; Or you can be honest and tell us everything you know! ”

"Back to my lord, the women really didn't follow them all the way, the brand on their bodies didn't have on the women at all. The eldest lord wants to know something, even if he asks, the woman must know everything. After the bustard finished speaking, he kowtowed again and again, and it seemed that he was extremely scared.

"You said you didn't have this token on you, who knows if you hid it somewhere else. I ask you, have you ever seen this token? Yue Su asked in a deep voice.

"This token woman has seen it. The proprietor told the women that anyone who came to the hall with this card must be received earnestly and must not be neglected. However, I have never seen anyone play with this sign in the hall. The old bustard replied tremblingly.

"According to your words, you're not the owner of this hall yet?" Yue Su asked coldly.

"It's not." The old bustard hurriedly shook his head.

"Then who is the owner of this hall? Where are people now? ”

"The boss of our hall is called Mr. Ye, and he doesn't come once or twice a year, and every time he comes, it's a mystery. The innermost room on the second floor is for him, and no one is allowed to enter it. The bustard said.

"What does that Mr. Ye look like, how old is he, and he is in the hall now?"

Faced with Yue Su's question, the old bustard hurriedly replied, "I don't know how old he is, every time he comes, it seems to fall from the sky, and no one knows when he leaves." I've seen him a few times, of medium stature, always covering his face with a black scarf, and speaking with a weird yin and yang, very similar to the eunuchs in the palace. ”

Yue Su saw that she did not hesitate when she answered, and her eyes did not flicker, expecting to be the truth. Moreover, the height and voice of Mr. Ye she described were the same as those that Yue Su saw today. But in the end, I don't believe that this person will come and go invisible. Yue Su continued to ask: "When did he open the Jiyuan here, how did you and the two dead come here, and are there any people here who have the same waist card as them?" ”

"Jade Pavilion is also a time-honored brand in the capital, after washing her hands, the former mother was ready to redeem here, at that time I had the heart to dish, who knew that a Mr. Ye suddenly appeared, the price was higher, and he finally got it. However, he claimed that he had no time to take care of it, and gave me two percent of the profit, and asked me to be in charge of the front work, and the monthly salary was no less. As for the two who died, they were all arranged by Mr. Ye successively, and the others were all original in the hall. ”

"...... who only came here the year before last" Yue Su nodded, and asked again: "Then what are these two Pingli responsible for in the hall?" What obscure things have you done? ”

"The account room is first said to be in charge of the accounts, and it is rare to come out of the house, and at the end of the year, someone will come to take away the year's profits. The big teapot used to be only in the back, rarely showing its head, like Mr. Ye's agent here, and it was only in the past few days that he changed into this dress and ushered in the front. It seems that something is going on. ”

At this time, the officers continued to search, and they had searched all the other men, but they did not find any of them with the dragon slaying order.

"Lord Hui, I've searched them all, and none of these people have them."

Yue Su nodded and said, "Li Haoran, now you take someone to search the entire hall again, you must be careful to see if you can find this dragon slaying order." ”

"Yes." Li Haoran agreed, and took the messenger to launch another carpet search.

After a while, Tong Zhou and Ruan Aoyue finally arrived with thirty female jailers. When Yue Su saw them coming, he immediately ordered to start searching for those maids and maids, and gave special instructions, especially the nineteen upstairs, not only to search, but also to verify their identities to see if there were any eunuchs in disguise.

Ruan Aoyue took Xiao Hei by the hand, came to Yue Su's side, and said, "My lord, what are your instructions?" Her voice was serious, not joking.

"Follow me upstairs!" After Yue Su finished speaking, he was the first to run towards the second floor, followed by Ruan Aoyue, Tong Xuan, and several errand soldiers.

Yue Su went straight to the innermost room, and after entering, he said, "Which box was that set of eunuch clothes originally placed in?" ”

"My lord, this is it." Tong Xuan ran to the box in a few steps.

"Put your clothes back inside."

Yue Su commanded, and the messenger holding the clothes behind him hurriedly stepped forward and put the clothes and shoes back inside. Then, Yue Su said: "Aoyue, this time it's up to Xiao Hei to see if you can find the owner of this dress." ”

"No problem." Ruan Aoyue led the dog forward, let Xiao Hei sniff the clothes and boots in the box, and then patted the dog's head and chin.

This action was very familiar to Yue Su, recalling that back then, Li Lan also commanded the dog like this. At this time, I saw Xiao Hei nodded, turned around, and ran towards the door, Yue Su had no time to remember, and hurriedly followed.

As soon as Xiao Hei went out, he went straight to the second room, which Tong Xuan had turned over, and remembered that there was a very bewitched woman in it. Xiao Hei entered the room, a tiger pounced, came to the dresser, and shouted vigorously, "Wangwang......"

Yue Su and Ruan Aoyue ran to Xiao Hei's side, and Ruan Aoyue said, "The smell seems to have stopped here." ”

Yue Su nodded, pondered for a moment, and said, "Tong Xuan, you have been to this room, have you ever seen anyone inside?" ”

"There's a woman." Tong Xuan said truthfully.

"Is it down there now?"

"Yes."

"Let's go down and find the woman." Yue Su said, pulling out his legs and running out.

But at this moment, Yue Su only felt a gust of wind above his head, as if something was falling in the air. Yue Su knew that someone was sneaking up, so how could he look up, and hurriedly rushed to the side to dodge this blow. Ruan Aoyue was closer to Yue Su, and her reaction was no slower than Yue Su's, and she flipped backwards and came to a safe place.

"My lord, be careful!"

"There are assassins!"

Tong Zhou and the other servants could see clearly that someone had jumped from the beam of the house, and several people shouted and drew their knives and stepped forward. Yue Su also turned around, only to see a black-clothed masked man standing in his original position with a steel knife. Yue Su was afraid that Tong Xuan would not be able to resist alone, so he bullied him, but before him, Xiao Hei had already pounced.

The man in black didn't seem to dare to fight, he missed a blow, shook a knife, grabbed the window in two steps, smashed the window with a fist, and jumped down. Without hesitation, Tong Xuan stepped on the windowsill and jumped down, shouting loudly, "Catch the assassin!" ”

Yue Su lifted his shirt, and then went down, Ruan Aoyue and Xiao Hei were not to be outdone, and jumped down together. Only those few errand officers glanced down, but they really didn't dare to follow.

Outside the building, it was already surrounded by the golden cicada and the iron chopper leading the errands, and the man in black fell from the sky, which made everyone unprepared, and one of them was knocked down when he landed. But as Tong Xuan shouted, and Yue Su and others jumped down one after another, all the messengers also reacted and rushed up.

However, after all, it was still a step too late, and after overturning the errand officer, the man in black fled and went straight to the alley in front. Tong Xuan, Yue Su and others chased closely, the speed of the man in black was very sharp, like a monkey dexterity, a few steps into the alley, he stepped on the wall next to him, jumped up, and was about to climb over the wall.

said that it was too late, and just when Yue Su was about to climb over the wall with the black clothes, a black shadow came first and rushed up from behind.
