However, Xue Wenyu had seen this barren palace three times, but still found nothing.

He was very sure in his heart that his daughter-in-law was here.

The entire palace is a dead end. This is also his negligence, after moving in, the self-esteem arranged by the dark guard Mingwei was already very thoughtful and meticulous, but he didn't expect that such a blind spot was missing!

Xue Wenyu didn't want to continue wasting time here, maybe his feelings were wrong.

As he was about to leave, he suddenly stopped.

Brother Hui and the others also stopped when they saw him, and then watched him suddenly walk to the corner of the apse again.

Standing in front of a large lotus pot, the lotus pot is thick, bigger than the one where the daughter-in-law pickles the sauerkraut, and the newly emerging lotus leaves in the jar are green and mixed with the dead leaves that have not been taken care of for many years.

Xue Wenyu put his hands behind his back, stared at the lotus pot, and narrowed his eyes.

The edge of a new lotus leaf sticking out of the edge of the tank is broken.

Xue Wenyu stretched out his hand to measure the lotus leaf, frowning again; "Come on, get out of the way."

Lin Chuan and Tuzi, who were closest to him, immediately grabbed the edge of the jar and lifted the position where the lotus jar had just moved a little, and the two of them looked at Xue Wenyu in surprise.

In the position where the lotus pot is blocked, there is actually a big hole.

Seeing that Xue Wenyu was about to drill, Lin Chuan, who had just put down the tank, rushed to drill in first.

What if there's an ambush over there, there's a trap!

Tuzi also wanted to rush over to explore the way, but he didn't grab Xue Wenyu, who was in a hurry.

And they all went over and looked, and there was a wall outside the wall, which was higher than the one inside.

This time, it was Brother Hui who discovered the traces first; "Father, look here." Xue Wenyu rushed over to take a look, what Brother Hui was referring to was the same position on the wall, the height was at the position of Brother Hui's shoulder, the wall was built for many years, and the place was at the back of the main hall, there was little sunlight, and the wall was covered with moss.

The location that Brother Hui pointed to was missing a piece of moss, and when he looked down, he was at the root of the wall.

This time, Xue Wenyu was the first to jump onto the high wall, and there was a cypress forest outside.

Xue Wenyu remembered that when Zhou Zhi'an was in power, he once mentioned that there was a position in the palace, and I don't know who saw it at the beginning, but he actually built a palace in that gloomy place. The feng shui there is not good, and it is said that decades ago, there were many inexplicable things in the palace maids.

I all felt that I was killed by a nobleman, and I dealt with it secretly, and it was over.

Later, it was inadvertently discovered that it was a chief eunuch who abducted the palace maid and humiliated him, and when he found it, there were several dried corpses. Later, after hearing the night, there were women's cries and screams begging for mercy.

Then, it was gradually forgotten.

Xue Wenyu jumped down first, and the people behind him automatically spread out into a fan shape and entered the cypress forest.

Old man Tao was in a hurry to lose his granddaughter, but in the end he was calmer than Xue Wenyu, and he was still worried about Brother Hui's safety, so he was always by Brother Hui's side and walked inside.

He actually wanted Brother Hui to go back and wait, but looking at the child's resolute eyes, he couldn't speak.

The people close to me all know that Brother Hui is Mu Yingbao's heart, and they know even more that she is also the most important in Brother Hui's heart.

Therefore, as soon as he received the news that she was missing, he immediately announced his retirement from the dynasty.

At that time, the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, although they did not know what was happening, were very surprised.

Old man Tao understood the child's personality and knew the relationship between his mother and son even better, so even if he looked at the expressions of those ministers, he didn't persuade Brother Hui not to leave.

How to persuade? The mother is gone, life and death are uncertain, how can this child still sit calmly on the dragon chair and discuss with the minister?

The cypress forest was dark, Xue Wenyu still found footprints, it was a person at the beginning, looking at the depth of the footprints, it should be a weight-bearing walk.

Strangely, the footprints disappeared outside the cypress forest.

People must have come out of the forest, and the geographical environment outside is not passable to horse-drawn carriages.

Xue Wenyu's heart sank again, and with a wave of his hand, people scattered around, and some people went back to call people and launched a carpet search.

Finding the location five miles away from the cypress forest, Tuzi shouted to look over, and found a few horseshoe prints at that location.

It's only a few, and when you look around, there's no trace of it.

A little further afield, when the mark was found again, it was not a horseshoe print but a cow's hoof, which they did not need to check, for they saw an old man driving several oxen.

When I went forward to ask, I saw someone.

The old man nervously shook his head and said that he didn't see anything, just begging Lin Chuan to spare him and not kill him.

"Check again." At this time, Xue Wenyu was even calmer, and as soon as he calmed down, his brain began to analyze this matter normally.

"They specialize in dealing with traces and are connoisseurs. Grandfather, in your impression, what sects are there in the rivers and lakes that are the best at doing this? Xue Wenyu asked Old Man Tao.

Old man Tao twisted his beard and thought seriously for a moment; "As far as I know, there are no major gangs on the rivers and lakes now."

On the rivers and lakes, it is nothing more than black and white.

Bai Dao, doing chivalrous deeds, robbing the rich and helping the poor, all of them are chivalrous, and there is no need to do any hidden traces at all.

The so-called underworld is called the underworld because they are doing evil things.

Since it's an underworld, isn't it normal to do something murderous or something? If you do something bad and don't want to be known, it's very simple, just kill people and kill people.

Even if there is a need to not leave clues, it will not be possible to be so meticulous and professional.

"You let people ask Kong Lian, after all, I haven't been in the rivers and lakes for many years. Perhaps, he knows. Old man Tao gave an idea.

Xue Wenyu nodded, it could only be like this.

No matter what, Kong Lian is now his brother-in-law, and his daughter-in-law is the sister he recognizes, and if something happened to his sister, of course he asked him for help.

Now there is one more person, more strength, and more hope to find a daughter-in-law sooner.

After it got dark, someone called the imperial kitchen to cook and make a table, but Xue Wenyu and the others had no appetite at all, they didn't even take chopsticks, and they didn't eat a bite of food.

"Father, let's go around the streets and alleys, maybe." Brother Hui remembered that once, when his mother was hiding in that kind of place, he led his father to find it.

That time, it was because of the wind chimes made by my mother.

Xue Wenyu nodded again, no matter what the method, anyway, if there is the slightest possibility, he has to try it.

However, Xue Wenyu has doubts, is there anything related to what he went out to do this time?

Or, the other party's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain?

In the middle of the night, Kong Lian came to Xue Wenyu, and his face was as cold as Xue Wenyu......
