163. Unbelievable
Sheng Mingzhu patted his head, a little weak, stood and took a breath, ready to go out, but as soon as he turned around, he was face to face with the person, the person at the door was first startled, and then saw the messy things on the table, and the scream couldn't be suppressed, and he exhaled.
In an instant, the people in the courtyard and the people walking outside were alarmed.
She stood at the door, Sheng Mingzhu stood inside, and she couldn't stop it, and the maid screamed and withdrew and shouted to catch the thief.
Sheng Mingzhu chased her and rushed to the door, the original maids in the courtyard saw her come out, saw that she was only one person, and wanted to rush up to stop her, Sheng Mingzhu kicked away the person who rushed up, quickly stabilized his body, took a few steps to the side, jumped on the wall, and jumped down.
Xia Yu and Xia Xue, who were hiding in the shadows, knew that something was wrong when she heard the screams in the courtyard, and she was exposed, so she immediately jumped out to respond.
The family members who rushed to hear the news besieged them left and right.
These families in the county government just said that Mu Changqing said that they look inconspicuous on the outside, but in fact, they are all hidden, when you meet them, you must be careful, and now that you really start to do it, you know that Mu Changqing is not bad at all.
These families are strong in martial arts and cooperate in an orderly manner, and the three of Sheng Mingzhu together gradually began to be outnumbered.
"Miss, let's go."
Xia Yu and Xia Xue immediately made a decision, no longer fighting with them, and quickly retreated with Sheng Mingzhu.
When passing by the study, Sheng Mingzhu stopped, turned his head and rushed over to push the door to summon Mu Changqing and Bingwu to go together, but found that the study was empty.
The enemy was in hot pursuit behind him, and Sheng Mingzhu didn't have time to think about where they went, and whether it was safe now, so he was forced to flee.
After turning around and around, seeing that there was no one chasing behind them, the three of them stopped and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Did you two see Mu Gongzi and them just now?" Sheng Mingzhu said.
Xia Xue Xia Yu shook her head, "Didn't they stay in the study?" Don't seem to see them out? ”
There is a secret passage in the study, and if I didn't see them in the study just now, it doesn't mean that something happened to them, and there is Bingwu by his side, Sheng Mingzhu thought about it and didn't ask more.
"Go back to the carriage and wait, maybe the two of them have already come out."
The three of them returned to the agreed place before, but they didn't see Mu Changqing and Bingwu, so they waited patiently for a while, but they still didn't see anyone come back.
"Will you be caught?"
"Probably not, we're waiting." Sheng Mingzhu jumped on a high place, lying on the eaves and stealing his body to look around, the surroundings were quiet, there were only a few pedestrians passing by occasionally on the few roads near Lord Li's mansion, and there was not a single searcher around.
Odd!
Sheng Mingzhu jumped out, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, the guards in the house were so strict, what he was afraid of was that someone would break in, and now that they had gone in, and they had revealed their traces, how could they let it go so easily?
"Miss, they're back." Xia Xuedao, Sheng Mingzhu followed her line of sight, but saw the two of them coming from the other direction.
It is not advisable to stay here for a long time, and now is not the time to speak, they looked at each other, knew that they were not injured, and quickly reached a consensus to leave here first, in order not to arouse suspicion, several people took a carriage and deliberately circled the city before returning to their residences.
After coming back, Sheng Mingzhu summoned the people who were waiting in the county government to come over for questioning, knowing that Lord Li and Lord Prefect had been here today and had not gone back, so his hanging heart was slightly relieved.
It's not in Beijing now, it's always right to be cautious.
Today, Lord Li visited the mansion, but it really opened the eyes of several of them.
Sheng Mingzhu calmed down, and together with Mu Changqing, took out some of the letters that he thought were important that he had just returned from Master Li's study, and took them out one by one to read them carefully.
"Did you find anything in his bedroom just now?" Mu Changqing said.
"No, I didn't have to bother to get in if I knew I wouldn't have to do that." Thinking of this, Sheng Mingzhu still felt very bad, "How did you come out just now, did you fight with them?" ”
"We came out of the storeroom, and no one noticed."
Most of the letters brought out by Sheng Mingzhu were with Master Li and local officials at all levels, some of them listened to news, some bribed sycophants, and some gold and silver exchange records.
"So Li Xuanzhen, it's really bold, secretly exploiting the people under his rule, not to mention, he even dared to turn his face and transfer the things he scavenged to others, during the disaster, no matter whether the people lived or died, he secretly hid so much food, and he ate and drank spicy food in the house, he was really selfish and shameless."
Sheng Mingzhu read the letter, and only then did he know the name of Lord Li, the county capital of Longan County, and became angry at the moment, calling him by his name, and he didn't want to leave him with the slightest respect for decency.
"Those family members in his house are also very strange, and their martial arts skills seem to have been specially trained, but they seem to be specially domesticated thugs." Speaking of this, Sheng Mingzhu's heart couldn't help but be clouded.
I also talked to her second brother before, there is an underworld force hidden in Longan County, the robbery, the slaughter of the village, and their previous assassination, could it be that they all planned it?
If these people died at their hands, Sheng Mingzhu didn't dare to continue thinking about it......
"I found this in his house." Mu Changqing took out a few pieces of letter paper from his arms, "Look at it." ”
Sheng Mingzhu took it from his hand, his eyes widened instantly when he saw the name of the letterhead, and the expression on his face became cautious.
By the time she had read all the contents of the letter, she had no idea what expression she should use to express the emotions in her heart.
"It's all true?" Sheng Mingzhu couldn't believe it, and flipped through the letter paper in his hand several times, "This, where did you find it?" ”
It can't be said that she doubted him, but the matter involved in the letter was too important, it could be said that it was incredible, so that she had to make sure it carefully.
"In the study, after you went out just now, I rummaged through the things in his study again and found this letter."
The name of the king of Chu on the letter paper in his hand is clearly visible, this is not the most important thing, what matters is the content inside.
"What about other letters?" Sheng Mingzhu's heart was beating fast, the authenticity of this letter had not yet been determined, and such a big matter was not something she could think about and decide alone.
"Master Li hid this letter very secretly, and I guessed correctly, this should be the last retreat he left for himself."
After all, this is going to kill at any time.
Sheng Mingzhu nodded, such a terrible thing, I am afraid that it will be burned after receiving it, how can I leave a handle for others, the reason why this letter has been kept should be a deterrent to worry about the final failure and unable to get out.
