readx;?“ After the concubine was tortured, she was not lightly injured, and her movement was inconvenient, so she could not get up to greet her, and I hope the master will forgive her. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info" spoke to us as if through a curtain in the room, with a slight and pleasant voice tinged with pain and weakness.

"Okay, we just want to ask the fourth aunt a few words." I said.

"Knowing everything, saying everything." It's like saying.

"May I ask the fourth aunt, from the night before yesterday to yesterday morning, except for Lord Cao's quiet disappearance, the doors and windows are intact, has there been any other abnormal situation in Cuizhu Xuan?" I asked.

"Master Hui, there are indeed unusual things happening." As if he was angry, he said weakly, "Yesterday morning, everyone in Cuizhu Xuan slept until almost the end of the day, and someone knocked on the door outside the courtyard for a long time, and I waited for a long time before I gradually woke up. ”

"Did you feel groggy and lightheaded? The faint scent that still lingers in the room? Yumeji asked.

"Well, exactly, I woke up with weak hands and feet, couldn't get up for a long time, and smelled a fragrance in the room for a long time." The maid replied first.

"Qiaoge is right, and the concubine feels the same way." It's like echoing the road.

"You have been hit by the incense, no wonder you didn't know that Lord Cao was kidnapped at night." "Don't say that you just take someone away quietly, even if someone beats the gong and drum in the courtyard, you won't be able to wake up." ”

"I see." It's like enlightening with two maids.

"Hasn't anyone asked you these questions before?" Mengyi frowned and said, "What is that Xing Zhutou doing to eat?" ”

"He didn't ask that." As if he said, "Xing Zhutou came in and asked me if the doors and windows were in good condition, and I said that they were all bolted and opened after I got up, so he ordered someone to drag me to the courtyard to serve all kinds of tortures. ”

I was puzzled, and I turned my head to look at the dream, and he was also confused.

"Fourth aunt, please allow the poor monk to come into the house and check the window, I'm offended." I said.

"Listen to me." As if to say, his tone was full of helplessness.

I entered the bedroom and quickly checked all the windows, and then went to the room of the maid and the old lady to check, and I found that there was a small hole in the window paper of the north window of all the rooms, about a centimeter in diameter.

"Brother, this matter is strange, such an obvious smoke blowing hole Xing Zhutou such an experienced investigator can't see it?" "I feel like we're in a game, and there's a black hand behind the scenes manipulating everything. ”

"I think we should start with Xing Zhutou." The Dream Relic replied.

"Well, as soon as he came up, he asked if the doors and windows were in good condition, obviously knowing the inside story." I nodded, "It seems that the breakthrough in this case is him." ”

"Butler, may I ask if Xing Zhutou and the others are in your house?" Dream Relics asked.

"No, after the trial of the fourth aunt yesterday, he and a few of his subordinates left, and never came again." Dofu replied.

"It's work time, let's go to the yamen to find him? It's just that we can't do anything to him in public. "Dream Secret, I said.

"Since he is not at home, let's go to his house to find out the truth first, maybe Cao Xianzong happens to be imprisoned there." I proposed.

"Well, just do as you say." Yumeji nodded in agreement.

"Butler, please report to Madame, just say that we have some eyebrows, and now we have to go out of the house to continue the investigation." I said.

"Yes." Duofu bowed his head and replied.

I had an idea, took out a silver ticket of 10 taels of gold and stuffed it into Duofu's hand, and quietly asked in his ear, "Do you know where Xing Zhutou's family lives?" It's a little bit of a small thing, please laugh at it. ”

After a few pretentious pushes, Duofu reluctantly accepted the silver ticket, and then whispered an address to me.

When I opened the map, I saw that Xing Zhutou's residence was already displayed in the form of a golden five-pointed star.

"What a thoughtful hint." I smiled at Yumeyi as I turned the map in his direction.

Mengyi came over to take a look, nodded again and again, and said, "Praise!" According to the map, it saves us a lot of time. ”

We rushed to the door, and Yumeji and I walked in front, and Dofu followed us a few meters behind us unhurriedly.

"Who's living in it? This Lamei Garden and Cuizhuxuan have their own merits, and I am afraid they are also the residences of Lord Cao's favorite concubines, right? I pointed to the small courtyard dozens of meters away from Cuizhuxuan and asked.

"That's right, this is the third aunt's residence." Dofu replied.

When I passed by the gate of Lamei Garden, I saw that the gate was open, and I couldn't help but look inside, only to see that the door of the hall inside was also open, and a picture of Lamei was hanging in the center of the wall.

The third aunt Tai Shufen, who was playing on the swing in the courtyard, saw a stranger peeping, and hurriedly jumped off the swing and ran into the house, while the maids ran over and closed the door while scolding.

Looking at the closed door, I felt a little inexplicably lost, and I couldn't help but sigh - I was in a hurry just now, and I was amazed by the beauty of the third aunt Tai Shufen, and I only hated that she turned around too quickly and didn't have the opportunity to appreciate it.

"Okay, brother, what's there to regret? Which of your wives is not prettier than her? Mengyi smiled and persuaded.

"Ahem, ahem......" Dofu behind us coughed in shock.

When I looked back, I saw that the expression on Duofu's face was very complicated, both surprised and envious, but more resentful.

Maybe he's angry that I, a monk, have more than one beautiful wife, I thought to myself.

After a while, we arrived at the gate of Caofu, and I said goodbye to Mengyi and Duofu and turned around and went out.

After Mengyi and I left Cao's mansion, according to the map, it only took 10 minutes to arrive at Xing Zhutou's house.

We came to the north wall of the house, which was adjacent to a narrow alley, and there were very few pedestrians, and there might not be a single person passing by for several minutes.

Taking advantage of the gap where no one was around, we quickly used light skills to climb over the wall, and after landing, we immediately entered the stealth state, and then looked around.

Xing Zhutou did not have a wife's room, and there were few servants, so the area of the house was not large, and we quickly searched the criminal palace thoroughly, but found nothing.

"Cao Xianzong is not here, and he has not found any other valuable clues." Mengyi sighed, "Hey, it seems that this trip was in vain." ”

"Not necessarily." I smiled and pointed ahead.

Mengyi looked in the direction of my finger, couldn't help but be overjoyed, and said excitedly: "Brother, you are really sharp-eyed, you have caught such insignificant details." ”

There is a small table in the northeast corner of Xing Zhutou's bedroom, on which are placed some miscellaneous objects, one of which is a pair of pink embroidered shoes, I and Mengyi have seen a pair of identical shoes not long ago, and the owner of the shoes is Cao Xianzong's third aunt Tai Shufen.

"Hehe, didn't you notice that too? Your eyesight is amazing. I laughed.

Mengyi walked to the table and picked up the embroidered shoes and took a closer look, then with a bright smile on his face, he looked up and said to me, "The inside of the upper of the two shoes is embroidered with 'Shu' and 'Fen', and I didn't run away now." ”

"Hmph, as the so-called 'Skynet is restored but not leaked', this time Xing Zhutou will be unlucky." I sneered gloatingly.

"What's next? Are we going to find the third aunt? Or Xing Zhutou? Yumeji asked.

"The evidence is too weak just for a pair of shoes, and they will definitely not admit to kidnapping the court officials - that is a capital crime." I muttered, "Our top priority now is to find Cao Xianzong's whereabouts. ”

"As long as the third aunt is too punished, she will definitely not be able to survive, and she will be able to reveal a little bit of the inside story." "I believe that Madame Cao will be on our side. ”

"Brother, I will immediately open my mouth when you pull me a little." I smiled and said, "With Mrs. Cao's support, it's easy to get started from the third aunt." ”

"Let's go, go back to Cao's mansion." Mengyi said, and at the same time put the embroidered shoes in his bag.

We left Xing Zhutou's bedroom and sneaked all the way to the north wall, making sure there were no footsteps outside the wall, and then climbed over the wall.

We galloped all the way to Cao's mansion, and were introduced into the living room by our subordinates, and stood in front of Mrs. Cao again.

"Two masters, can there be progress in the case?" Mrs. Cao asked eagerly, "I heard Duofu say that you have clues, but now you have brought good news?" ”

"There is good news and bad news, which one does Madame want to hear first?" I asked.

"Let's start with the good news." Mrs. Cao replied immediately.

"The good news is that we've found two people involved in the case, making a major breakthrough." I said.

"Great!" Mrs. Cao said happily, "What about the bad news? ”

"The bad news is that one of the people involved in the case is the third aunt of your mansion." I sighed, "Madame Wang's full support, let's give her a good trial." ”

"It's a matter of life and death for adults, I will definitely fully support the two masters, no matter what you need to do, you can do it." Madame Cao gritted her teeth and said, "Duofu, you bring some people to follow the master, and you can send the master at any time." ”

"Yes." Duofu hugged his fists, then turned around and went outside to gather people.

I smiled at each other, and then said to Mrs. Cao in unison: "Madame, don't worry, this case will be solved today, and welcome your adult back home." ”

Suddenly, Duofu and a dozen other family members came to meet us outside the living room door.

Mengyi and I led the family to pounce on Lamei Garden like wolves.

When I came to the door of Lamei Garden, I shouted, raised my foot and kicked the red lacquered wooden door fiercely, the door did not move, but my toes were painful.

I crouched down and covered my feet, grinning and frowning.

Everyone was secretly amused, but it was inconvenient to laugh out loud, and they all showed an expression of internal injury.

"Why are you stunned? Still don't slam the door for me? I shouted.

Everyone rushed up, using their hands and feet together, smashing the courtyard gate with a "bang" sound.

A maid heard the sound and came to open the door, and as soon as she opened the door, she scolded: "Dare to smash the gate of Lamei Garden? Do you die? ”

"Are the maids so arrogant? You're going to die, aren't you? I said angrily, and immediately slapped the maid and beat her to the ground.

The maid named Huang Li was stunned by me, looked at me stupidly for a few seconds, and then ran in crying.

"Bastard! Who ate the bear's heart, and the leopard dared to beat the maid in my room? The third aunt Tai Shufen scolded as she walked through the courtyard towards the gate.
