The Taichu Palace is brightly lit in the middle of the night.

In the main hall, Sun Youwei's expression was gloomy.

She couldn't understand how a group of elites in the Peach Blossom Guard had managed to let a mediocre gentleman and a middle-aged man over half a hundred years old escape from under her nose when they were ambushed and well-prepared in advance.

"Two big living people, just disappeared out of thin air?"

The empress's voice was very soft, as if she was asking where she was going to go this afternoon.

The leader of the Peach Blossom Guard lowered his head, "Wait...... I have searched all night in the western suburbs, and only found the carriage of Zhenguo Gong and the corpse of the horse that fell into the mountain stream, and there was an intermittent blood stain near the carriage, which continued until the small stone pond near it disappeared.

"Grandpa Guo and He Kui...... His whereabouts are still unknown. ”

Sun You smiled.

Fuguang immediately sank his face and asked in a cold voice, "I can't find it outside the city, but what about inside the city?" Have you searched it? ”

"Yesterday, I have quietly searched the mansion of Zhenguo Gong and the few places he goes to every day, but there is no news," Taohuawei's throat moved, "except for ......"

"Except for what?" Fuguang reprimanded, "Finish in one breath." ”

"Except for the mansion of Lord Shoufu Wei." Taohuawei spoke, "Lord Wei and Grandpa Guo are good friends, if Grandpa Guo survives, he may go to Lord Wei for help, so ......"

"Then why not search?"

"We did go last night, but she ...... She asked us why we searched the house late at night, and we had prepared a pre-emptive statement...... It's really a little lax, so it was debunked by Childe on the spot. ”

When Taohuawei said this, the corners of his forehead were already dripping with cold sweat, "We take into account that this matter is confidential after all, and we can't make a fuss, so we didn't break through-"

Sun Youwei sneered and interrupted him directly, "Inner Court...... What's the use of raising you? ”

Peach Blossom Wei immediately kowtowed, only to hear a crisp sound of "dong", and this person's head smashed on the stone slab in front of the emperor, "The minister deserves death!" ”

Sun Youwei half-lowered his eyes, "What about your master Du mocking the wind?" His retreat...... I guess it's almost over. ”

"Yes, I remember, I should ...... It's out of the customs today. ”

"Get him ready, come to me at once." Sun Youwei glanced at the person in front of him in disgust, "...... As for you, go to the yamen to receive the punishment yourself. ”

After Peach Blossom Wei left, Fuguang said softly, "Your Majesty is still going to send someone to Lord Wei's mansion tonight to have a look?" ”

Sun Youwei leaned on the throne a little tiredly, "No need. ”

Even if they were really in Wei Xingzhen's mansion, they were not in a hurry to run away at this time tonight, judging from their injuries, it was impossible for either of them to run far...... If it is forcibly searched, it will not look good.

Sun Youwei said in a low voice, "Early tomorrow morning, Xuan Wei Xingzhen and Feng Yan will enter the palace together, and then I will arrange for people to go to the Wei Mansion to check." ”

"Yes, the minister will arrange it." Floating eyes lowered and said.

……

Early the next morning.

In the courtyard of Dali Temple, Ji Ran tiredly walked through the gray road and stepped into his official office.

As soon as he entered the door, the two men who had been waiting in the room stood up to greet him.

"Boss." The two greeted in unison.

"Sit." Ji Ran spoke in a low voice, his voice a little hoarse.

The two subordinates looked at each other, and one of them stared at Ji Ran, "...... What's wrong with the boss, is it because the follow-up communication with the Ping Demon Agency yesterday was not smooth? ”

"It's not just that it's not going well," Ji Ran scolded in a low voice, and then took a deep breath, "Such a big thing is smashed on the head, and the group of old stubborns in the Ping Demon Department are still thinking about how to fight for merit!" As for the simple division of labor, they quarreled from afternoon to night, and late at night, and they didn't fight for a reason...... Delay as much as possible. ”

"You extinguish the fire." One of them pushed the tea in front of him in front of Ji Ran, "The Ping Demon Department has always been so domineering, let's not be surprised." ”

"Yes," chimed the other, "this case is the work of wild spirits, and it makes sense for them to lead the case." However, since this is the cooperation between the two sides appointed by the Holy Lord, no matter how greedy they are, they can't completely leave us alone. It's better to let them fight, we just happened to be fighting the deputy on the side—"

Before the words fell, Ji Ran's gaze had already hit.

The people on the side hurriedly came out to play the round, "He...... What he meant was that we were humble. ”

Seeing that Ji Ran's face was still cold, the two subordinates stood up, "I'm sorry, boss...... We didn't mean that, and we won't say that again. ”

Ji Ran picked up the teacup and blew lightly, "Yesterday, I asked you to tail Wei Xingzhen, what was the result?" ”

One of them said, "We have been following Lord Wei since noon yesterday, and we didn't notice anything unusual until midnight when he returned to the mansion from the main gate of the Wei Mansion to rest. ”

Ji Ran raised his eyes, "What did he do after leaving Dali Temple, did he go back to the Fengge Office?" ”

"Nope."

"Where did that go?"

"Hmm...... Yesterday, Lord Wei first went to the East Market, visited several silk shops, and then galloped wildly, all the way to the Qinglu Tea House in the West Market, and personally picked some tea;

"At the end of the Shen period, we saw him come out of the north gate of the West Market, and rode back to the East Market—and so on, until three o'clock in the unitary hour—"

The teacup in Ji Ran's hand fell on the table lightly, "Just back and forth?" ”

"Yes. We, we didn't figure out why......"

Ji Ran was even more annoyed in his heart.

Why do you have to think about it? Wei Xingzhen must have noticed that someone was tailing behind him, but he didn't break it, and then deliberately rode back and forth like this, slipping his people to play......

This Wei Xingzhen ...... Very slippery!

"What about after three quarters?" Ji Ran asked with a strong suppression of anger.

"At that time, the sky was almost starting to get dark, Lord Wei just passed by the Warm Smoke Pavilion, and met the new top green-sleeved girl on stage, Lord Wei went in and sat and listened to the play for a while, and before leaving, he also rewarded the green-sleeved girl with some silver......"

The more Ji Ran listened, the more disgusted he felt - he would find a way to reveal the news to Feng Yan today.

How many days have you only been married to him? Wei Xingzhen began to go out to drink flower wine!

Bah.

“…… After that, Lord Wei wandered around the nearby night market alone, looking at the lanterns, eating supper, and when it was almost time, he walked home alone, and there was nothing else. ”

The man said as he took out a palm-sized manual from his bosom.

"In short, the specific itinerary and the corresponding time - such as the shop where Wei Xingzhen entered and exited, and who he talked to for a long time, his subordinates are all recorded here, boss, if you have any questions, you can check it directly."

Ji Ran took the manual and read it at a glance.

The subordinate said, "If the adults suspect that this person has a ghost, should we continue to keep an eye on it for the next few days?" ”

Ji Ran snorted, "No need."

He took the manual into his arms, "Now that I've scared the snake, I'll think of another way...... Go and rest. ”

The other two were about to retreat when there was a sudden rush of footsteps outside, and all three looked out of the house at the same time.

- Tang Sanxue, the big eunuch beside Sun Youwei, was walking over here with a smile on his face.

"There is a word."

Tang Sanxue squinted his eyes and laughed softly.
