Chapter Ninety-One: Wait for Someone to Come

Gao Hong is really right, Yuan Shengshi really has a very strange temper.

Say that he forbears, he can also forbear, even if he knows that the other party is messing around, he can be patient and reasonable, but he doesn't seem to be able to accept it, any go against what he has already said, he says that there is no forgiveness for crossing the line and killing him, he will cross the line and kill without forgiveness, even if there are 1,000 people in the Xicheng Forbidden Army, he dares to do it.

Zhou An, Yuan Shengshi and others returned to the Wufu mansion, and the gate was also closed by the Jinyi guards guarding the door.

Li Hubiao scolded outside the door, but it was useless.

Yuan Shengshi didn't kill him, he was already polite.

Otherwise, with Yuan Shengshi's strength, Li Hubiao would have no chance to block that sword, obviously Yuan Shengshi also understood that it would not be too much of a problem to kill a few miscellaneous soldiers, even if there was trouble later, it could be solved.

But if Li Hubiao is killed, it will not only cause trouble for Yuan Shengshi, but will cause big trouble for the empress.

He's just weird, not stupid.

What Yuan Shengshi did, in the final analysis, was nothing more than deterrence, this Li Hubiao led his troops to stir up trouble, and Yuan Shengshi couldn't drive them away, so he could only deter them and make them dare not enter Wufu.

They love as much as they like outside, and it has little impact on Jinyiwei's case.

……

The search for the house in Wufu is still continuing, Wu Guoyu is a corrupt official and traitor, it is true that he is a secret detective commander, it is impossible to be clean, but corruption is a common phenomenon, and Wu Guoyu was not an important target for surveillance before, so at present, on the empress's side, there is no evidence of his corruption.

It needs to be searched, and it is necessary to dig deep into the ground to find evidence.

After everyone returned to the courtyard, the small pavilion moved a chair for Zhou An, placed it under the eaves on the west side, and moved the small stove in the house. Zhou An sat down under the eaves, holding a small teapot and baking the stove, which was also comfortable.

"Little pavilion." Zhou An suddenly called.

"The little ones are here." The small pavilion bowed to the side.

Zhou An hooked his finger at the small pavilion.

The small pavilion immediately approached.

Zhou An whispered to him: "You go to do something for our family now, and go back to the palace immediately, the saint should not have slept at this time, you take our family's sign to see the saint, and ask the saint for a token that can be cut first and then played......"

The little pavilion was stunned for a moment, glanced at Zhou An carefully, and immediately understood Zhou An's thoughts.

"The little one understands."

"Go ahead." Zhou An sat up a little straighter, raised his hand behind him again, and said, "Father-in-law Mu, you go back with the small pavilion, it's tiring." ”

"Yes!" One of the two old eunuchs in the back immediately took the order.

Zhou An asked Gonggong Mu to go back with the small pavilion, firstly, for the safety of the small pavilion, riding a horse and walking at night on a snowy day, the small pavilion was alone, which made people uneasy, and secondly, the small pavilion had not yet "shown his face" on the empress's side, and the empress did not necessarily trust him.

Gonggong Mu is different, he is the old man of the celebrant eunuch, a confidant of Kang Longji, and a confidant of the empress.

The small pavilion and Father-in-law Mu left in a hurry, not through the main entrance, but through the side door.

Although there are Xicheng forbidden troops outside, they will never dare to prevent the Jinyi Guard or the eunuchs from the palace from leaving here, they are just here to make trouble, but they don't really want to detain the people here, they don't dare.

However, it's better to let the little pavilion avoid Li Hubiao, that guy is too good at finding fault.

Wu Guoyu and the others were still pressed in the courtyard, their heads, shoulders and backs were covered with snow, and the body of Wu Guoyu's eldest son Wu Renqi was already cold.

The search continues.

Wufu is a big mansion with four entrances, more than a dozen large and small courtyards, and dozens of houses, so if you don't search for a few hours, you can't finish searching.

In this courtyard, things were thrown everywhere, and the dumped boxes were spilled not only clothes, worthless sundries, but books.

Before I knew it, it was time for the third watch.

Still haven't found anything of value.

Outside the arch on the east side of the courtyard, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps.

It was Xiao Tingzi and Mu Gonggong who came back, they went for nearly an hour before they came back, their bodies were all covered with snow, Xiao Tingzi looked even more frozen, he was only fourteen years old, and he was a frail eunuch, although he knew some martial arts, but he was not strong.

"Father-in-law, the little one is back." The small pavilion hurried under the eaves.

"Did you get it?" Zhou An asked.

"The little one explained the situation to the saint, this is given by the saint......" The little pavilion took out something wrapped in a yellow cloth from his arms and presented it to Zhou An with both hands.

Zhou An took it, lifted the corner of the yellow cloth, and saw that there was a golden token inside, and when he saw the words on it clearly, his pupils couldn't help shrinking.

Four words on the front of the token - such as I am here!

The role of this brand is not only to be cut first and then played, this is a brand that can represent the empress, and in special periods, this brand can even directly replace the empress to give orders and mobilize the forbidden army.

It seems that the empress also knew that the situation was urgent, so she took it and gave it casually.

Of course, this also represents the trust of the empress.

Zhou An looked at the sign, put it in his sleeve first, got up and walked towards Yuan Shengshi.

Yuan Shengshi has not been idle, he has rummaged through all the boxes that have been searched and thrown in the yard.

"General Yuan." Zhou An walked to Yuan Shengshi's side and called out.

"Father-in-law Zhou." Yuan Shengshi glanced at Zhou An and said, then disappeared.

"Talking here." Zhou An beckoned to Yuan Shengshi and walked to a secluded place in the corner of the courtyard.

Yuan Shengshi's face was unwavering, and he paused, before following Zhou An's footsteps.

Got to a secluded place.

"Our family just asked someone to invite it, you take it, be prepared." Zhou An took out the token wrapped in yellow cloth in his sleeve and handed it to Yuan Shengshi.

Yuan Shengshi glanced at Zhou An's face, then took the cloth bag and opened it to take a look.

"Holy Command, with this order, if you see anyone obstructing and obstructing the case, you can cut it first and then play it!" Zhou An said in a low voice.

Yuan Shengshi saw the words "Ru I am coming", listened to Zhou An's words, and immediately wrapped the token again, put it in his arms, and then hugged Zhou An and said: "It's bothering Zhou Gonggong." ”

Zhou An raised his hand, pressed the fist that Yuan Shengshi had raised, and said with a smile: "General Yuan, we are all the rulers of the king, and the matter of loyalty to the monarch is our own people, you don't need to be polite." ”

Yuan Shengshi didn't say anything more, walked into the courtyard again, and began to rummage through the cabinets.

This guy is really taciturn enough, it's not that he can't speak, but he's too lazy to say it.

Zhou An likes such people very much, they are always much better than those who are smiling and facing each other and behind them.

"Your Excellency, the search of the back house has been completed, and no suspicious objects have been found." Yijin Yiwei hurriedly came to Yuan Shengshi's side and said.

"Well, keep searching." Yuan Shengshi replied without being salty.

Although Yuan Shengshi didn't seem to be in a hurry at all, in fact, the situation was very bad now.

The raiders couldn't find any evidence of Wu Guoyu's corruption, and the ghost knew where Wu Guoyu hid things.

Zhou An glanced at the situation in the courtyard, and walked to Wu Guoyu and the others without hurrying, Wu Guoyu looked like he was going to die, he was already sick, and he was angry and vomited blood before, and now he didn't even have a warm clothes on his body.

Although he has good kung fu, he can't bear such a toss.

Zhou An swept his eyes again, and then his eyes fell on an old man in his forties and fifties with a cloak, this person is the same age as Wu Guoyu, and he is well dressed, but he is not very luxurious, looking at his appearance and temperament, he should be a servant of the Wu family, a housekeeper and other characters.

"You're the big butler of Wufu?" Zhou An asked.

Hearing Zhou An mention the words "big housekeeper", the man raised his head directly, and saw that Zhou An was indeed looking at himself, so he cowered and kowtowed: "Yu, father-in-law, villain Qiao San, is the housekeeper of Wufu." ”

"Someone, take him with you, and follow our family." Zhou An said directly, and then turned around and walked towards the west wing.

The two old eunuchs who came with Zhou An stepped forward and dragged Qiao San up and followed behind Zhou An.

Qiao San didn't know what Zhou An was going to do to him, he was already so frightened that he couldn't stand up, and he was carried away by two old eunuchs.

He kept looking back at Wu Guoyu.

Wu Guoyu is now difficult to protect himself, and naturally he can't protect him.

Entering the west wing, Zhou An asked the small pavilion to close the door.

Inside the house.

"You truthfully invited, where are all the corrupt things of your master?" Zhou An asked, but this was actually for the people outside, and before he finished speaking, without waiting for Qiao San to say anything, he clasped his hands together, slapped it out, and pressed it on Qiao San's head.

Qiao San let out a scream.

From the outside, it sounded like he had been severely punished.

Zhou An closed his eyes and consulted Qiao San's memories with his soul knowing technique.

After a while, he let go.

Qiao San stopped screaming, and became dumb-eyed and stupid.

Zhou An's hand was wiped on his waist, and the bloodless sword came out, the red light flashed, and it was instantly returned to the sheath.

Qiao San's head flew out.

Outside.

Wu Guoyu, who was already paralyzed on the ground, kept his eyes on the door of the west wing, there had been no movement in it for a while, I don't know what the situation was, if I said that I was not afraid, it was false.

Squeak.

The door of the west wing opened, and a round human head flew out of the west wing, rolling down on the grass, and the bright red blood was thrown out a few feet away.

Zhou An, who was dressed in a big hat, walked out of it surrounded by two old eunuchs and a small pavilion, walked to the chair under the eaves without saying a word, and sat down again.

Seeing Zhou An's attitude, Wu Guoyu breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhou An's reputation for being vicious and cruel had already spread when he was supervising the beheading of Cao Jing, the young master of the Pure Land Sect, and Wu Guoyu was not surprised that he killed his old housekeeper, after all, even his own son had been poisoned by him before.

However, since the person was killed by him, it should mean that he didn't ask anything.

Zhou An didn't ask anything, he didn't ask at all.

Directly "looked".

At this time, he already knew where Wu Guoyu hid all the things that came from corruption, then Qiao San was Wu Guoyu's henchman, and many things were hidden by Qiao San for him.

But Zhou An did not say anything.

He also looked like he was tortured unfavorably, and he was angry and killed.

He's waiting.

Wait for someone to come!

Time passed, the search continued, in fact, Wufu had been thoroughly searched, but nothing was found, so Yuan Shengshi asked them to continue the search repeatedly and conduct a more detailed search.

Gradually, another hour.

Just after the third watch, it has entered the fourth watch, that is, around one o'clock in the second half of the night.

Outside Wufu, suddenly there was a loud sound of horses' hooves.

The chaotic sound came in a mighty way, and the people who came this time sounded more than when Li Hubiao came.

Inside the hospital.

Zhou An got up and walked out with Yuan Shengshi just now.

But I heard a "bang", the gate on the south side of the courtyard was kicked open, but there were brocade guards outside the door, and there was no fight, why did someone come and kick the door directly?

However, I saw that the first person to enter the door was a general with a tiger's back and a heavy armor on his waist, this person looked nearly forty years old, taller than Gao Hong, and his appearance was fierce...... Zhou An knew who he was, he was the commander of the Qianjing Soldiers and Horses Governor's Mansion, the commander of the military cavalry, the nominal boss of the soldiers and horses of the four cities, and the first-class hussar general - Wu Ailong!

This person also has another identity, that is, Wu Xukuan's righteous son, and he is also considered to be the first fierce general under Wu Xukuan!

Wu Ailong came, and after that, many people came in.

Including Gong Changqing, the secretary of the Ministry of War.

Everyone entered the door but gave way to both sides, and the last person to be surrounded by people entered the door was an old man in his sixties.

It's Wu Xukuan himself!
