Chapter 133: Brother Thumb
Ximen Jingxuan looked at Lin Xin'er's back, he didn't know how the Demon Voice Messenger could appear in the backyard of the palace at the same time as her, but when he saw them with his own eyes, he understood that the backyard was also a part of his palace, and he couldn't be negligent.
"Okay, this king will go to the Moon Tower after dawn as you promised." Ximen Jingxuan Road.
The power of Shuiyue Palace should not be underestimated, he still didn't want to alarm them and provoke Lin Ke'er again. Ximen Jingxuan understood that the confrontation with Shuiyue Palace was impatient.
After receiving Ximen Jingxuan's reply, Lin Xin'er didn't say anything, waved her long sleeves, and flew away in the direction of Wangyue Tower.
Ximen Jingxuan returned to Xuanwang's Mansion.
Yi Yao pretended to be Lin Xin'er and stood carefully at the door of the house, the door of the house, which was not strong, was broken during the fight, and the cool breeze before dawn was poured in.
Ximen Jingxuan didn't look at Yi Yao, but instead looked at the grass on the side of the window, where a ghost face was lying there, and a thin layer of gold dust was on the mask, reflecting the cold light.
Just now, because I was in a hurry to chase the woman, I didn't even find this thing.
Ximen Jingxuan walked over and bent down to pick up the ghost mask.
Before, he had heard Ximen Zhen's story, and probably knew what this ghost face looked like, so he got a similar one from the troupe, and used it to take advantage of the darkness to pretend to be a ghost-faced man to coax Ximen Jingyu.
So this ghost mask is from the hands of the person who escaped from the Yuehua Kingdom?
"What just now?" Ximen Jingxuan turned to Yi Yao, who was standing against the door frame, the "Lin Xin'er" in his eyes.
"The concubine didn't know it, but she heard the sound of a fight in her sleep, and the two men rushed into the house through the window." Yi Yao shook her head, looked at the mask in Ximen Jingxuan's hand, guessing that it should have come from the hand of the person who fought with the young palace master, and continued, "That mask seems to have come from the man's face just now. ”
Voice Messenger? Ximen Jingxuan's hand holding the mask tightened, could it be that the Demon Voice Messenger was the ghost-faced man?
Ximen Jingxuan pondered, and seemed to look into the room casually, with the same sound of fighting, Yan'er didn't wake up?
"Oh, my lord." Yi Yao saw Ximen Jingxuan's doubts, turned around, looked at Yan'er and said, eagerly, "When the two of them were fighting just now, they touched Yan'er, and Yan'er fell into a coma, please take a look!" ”
"Since I'm in a coma, I'll always wake up." Ximen Jingxuan said indifferently, and did not mean to go into the house to check, "After that, this king will let people come to repair the door." ”
When the sound fell, he suddenly turned to leave.
Stepping on the small bridge of the pond, Ximen Jingxuan tilted his head slightly, watching Yi Yao lean softly into the house, as if the seriously injured body had not yet recovered.
Ximen Jingxuan didn't stay long, and hurried back to the study. Yang Chen was already waiting there.
tossed for a night, and found out a lot of people who were hidden in the shadows related to Ximen Jingyu, and even affected the palace people in the palace.
Capture the thief and capture the king first, and there has always been nothing wrong with doing things since ancient times.
When Ximen Jingyu is choked in one fell swoop, and Ximen Jingyu dies again, his subordinates will inevitably panic, and there will be a feeling that the dragons will have no leader and a catastrophe is coming.
Soon a powerful effect was formed, affecting the entire relationship network, so that Ximen Jingxuan easily destroyed the layout of Ximen Jingyu, even if the remnants escaped, it would not become a big climate, and Ximen Jingyu's force that had been hidden in the shadows for many years had collapsed.
And on the side of Yuehua Kingdom, there must not be many people who can potentially potential the hinterland of the capital of the Qingyuan Dynasty, and they have also caught a few, but they can't find any news about the ghost-faced people.
"Is there any news of Jin Zhi and Yin Zhi?" Ximen Jingxuan asked, this is what he heard from the conversation between the one-eyed man and Ximen Jingyu, it should be an important person second only to the ghost-faced man.
Yang Chen shook his head, "No, there are no two people among the people captured." ”
Ximen Jingxuan understands that just in case, these detailed works are all around their master, with a one-line connection, and there are not many opportunities to cross each other, so they will not involve others like Ximen Jingyu's people. And these people who can be caught do not have a high status in the fine work, if there is a loss, it must be them, so the value is not great.
"The gopher that robbed people should be the rumored thumb brothers on the rivers and lakes, do you have any clues about them?" Ximen Jingxuan asked again.
The only person who can quickly dig out a narrow dark passage, and who can move freely in the dark passage and break through the ground, is the thumb brother known as the gopher. It is a pair of dwarf twins, who make a living by robbing tombs, and sometimes help people do some prison escape business, but because they want to rob people from each other, they must have taken a great risk, so the brothers generally don't do it, as long as they do it, the asking price will not be low, not to mention that this time it is still robbing people from King Xuan.
It's just that what makes Ximen Jingxuan puzzled is that the Thumb brothers robbed the One-Eyed Man and Ximenhai in such a timely manner, as if the main family had predicted it in advance and had already negotiated the price, and it was definitely not a temporary attempt to find it.
But Ximen Jingxuan's move on Ximen Jingyu was very sudden, as soon as he got the news, he began to act, to catch Ximen Jingyu and the ghost-faced man by surprise, even they didn't have time to defend, let alone rush to find the Thumb Brothers.
The unexpected appearance of the Thumb Brothers is more like someone hiding in the shadows to pay attention to everything that is happening in the capital, and everything has been arranged in advance in order to play a role at the critical moment.
This made Ximen Jingxuan think of the female corpse that he had thrown into the grave of Mrs. Zhiqi in the courtyard of Mrs. Zhiqi the day after Lin Xin'er got married.
Now it has been proved that Yuehuaguo and Xiaoyao Hou have always colluded with each other, so the fire in Xiaoyao Hou's Mansion that day was even more bizarre, and the reason would not be Yuehuaguo's revenge on Ximen Jingyu, pulling out a case must be to cover up something more important, Ximen Jingyu did not hesitate to burn Xiaoyaohou's Mansion and betrayed his deeds eight years ago, obviously to cover up his relationship with Yuehuaguo.
To make this step, it must be that Ximen Jingyu realized that he and Yuehuaguo had encountered a crisis, and Ximen Jingxuan thought about the things before and after the fire, and only the inexplicable female corpse found in King Xuan's mansion made him suspicious, which might make Ximen Jingyu feel dangerous.
From this point of view, the plan that Ximen Jingyu once said that Yuehua Kingdom wanted to replace people should be true, and it really went wrong, otherwise they would not have thrown the female corpse back to Xuanwang's Mansion for nothing, making Ximen Jingxuan suspicious.
So what's going on with that female corpse, and who is doing it in secret?
Is the person behind the female corpse incident related to the robbery of Ximenhai tonight? Is all this related to the Water Moon Palace?
