Chapter 103: Unfathomable
Not long after Gu Zhixing returned to Luoyang City, Xia Sheng and Bi Qingwen also returned to the Weining Marquis Mansion before the city gate was closed.
Bi Qingwen escorted Xia Sheng all the way to the front of the mansion, and then he gave his leave.
I have to say that although this guy is only a deacon of the Shantang branch, he is really proficient in human affairs, no wonder he can give people a feeling of friends all over the world during the period of going north from Yangcheng.
Xia Sheng stood in front of the gate of Ye Mansion, and did not knock on the door immediately, but greeted the cool breeze at the end of summer, raising his eyes to look at the starry stars in the night sky.
So much has happened in this short night.
He had one more apprentice, got acquainted with a big shopkeeper who was in charge of the most flower buildings in the world, and also saw the swordsmanship of the third young master of the Gu family that he admired incomparably.
But I don't know what earth-shattering power will erupt when all this finally converges at the same point?
Xia Sheng shook his head, pressed the more distant plan back to the bottom of his heart, and when he looked at the starry sky again, he found that the trajectory of the thousands of stars had changed in this instant.
It's like a confusing chess game, until the last moment, no one knows who the winner is.
Just stood in place and stared at the night sky for a whole stick of incense, and then Xia Sheng took another step forward and returned to the Weining Marquis Mansion.
The housekeepers and maids in the house haven't slept yet, so naturally they are not waiting for Xia Sheng.
But when they saw that their uncle at least didn't go home at night, many people couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in their hearts.
Through Yun'er's mouth, Xia Sheng knew that Mrs. Ye had not returned to the house yet, so it seemed that it was unlikely to talk to the other party about his father's disappearance tonight.
"Well, then I'll come back to-morrow to bother Madame. After speaking, Xia Sheng returned to his residence, and sure enough, Ning Zheng had not slept yet, and was sitting in the courtyard, waiting for him to come back.
Xia Sheng stepped forward and asked bluntly, "How is it, what did you find?"
......
At the same time, in a certain darkroom in the Weining Marquis Mansion, Wang Er had just put down the ink pen in his hand and asked the two warriors with swords kneeling in front of him, "What did you find?"
One of them replied respectfully: "Tonight, my subordinates followed Xia Gongzi all the way out of the city, and then went to Yanyu Tower." ”
"Yanyulou?" Wang Er looked stunned, the situation seemed to be a little different from what he had expected before, and then nodded and said, "Go on." ”
"Yes. Originally, the two of us followed Xia Gongzi into Yanyu Building, but I didn't expect that Xia Gongzi and the big shopkeeper of Yanyu Building seemed to be old friends! For fear of revealing our identities, we had to retreat to the second best thing and chose to wait outside Yanyu Building, so what did Xia Gongzi see in Yanyu Building, what did he do, and his subordinates ...... I don't know!"
Hearing this, Wang Er was shocked again, but he did not blame the two for their dereliction of responsibility, but repeatedly confirmed: "Can you see clearly?
The warrior with the sword nodded: "It will never be wrong! The owner of the seventeenth floor of the fireworks, Mo Yuan, what a big man, how can others dare to pretend to be? Although his subordinates have never seen a real person, they have been fortunate enough to see the portrait of this person on the Star Viewing Platform, and they can recognize it at a glance!"
The other person also chimed in: "That Mo Yuan and Xia Gongzi are sitting in the hall of the Yanyu Building, talking about wine and laughing, it is impossible to know each other for the first time!"
Wang Er couldn't help but gasp, he really didn't expect that he just wanted to be on the safe side, he called someone to investigate Xia Sheng's whereabouts, but he actually learned such important information!
He was silent for a moment, then suppressed the shock in his heart, raised his hand and said, "Go on!"
The two samurai with swords obviously felt the same way as their own adults, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Yes." Later, after about half an hour, there seemed to be some accidents in the Yanyu Building, but the two subordinates were far away, so they only knew that someone was making trouble, and I didn't know what the specific situation was, but not long after, Xia Gongzi and the third young master of the Gu family walked out of the Yanyu Building together!"
"What!" Wang Er immediately stood up from his chair and exclaimed, "Gu Zhixing?"
The warrior with the sword nodded: "Yes, Third Young Master Gu is a well-known martial idiot in Luoyang City, and his subordinates have also fought with him, so he sees it very clearly, but perhaps in order to deliberately avoid suspicion, so Third Young Master Gu did not go with Xia Gongzi, but said goodbye first, and returned to the capital earlier than Xia Gongzi." ”
At this moment, Wang Er couldn't keep calm at all, he frowned, trying to sort out a thread from this information, but found that everything was in vain, because what he learned tonight was too shocking, too unbelievable!
Isn't that Xia Sheng a country boy in White Horse Town? This is just the first day he has arrived in Luoyang, how can he know Mo Yuan and Gu Zhixing, these prestigious young talents?
Did he really come to Luoyang just to fulfill the marriage contract? Or was he hiding some ulterior secret?
And just when Wang Er's mind was in chaos, another person came to the room.
After seeing this person, Wang Er immediately waved his hand and let the two warriors with swords go down, and instructed them not to chew their tongues behind their backs.
The two samurai with swords led the way out, and before leaving, carefully closed the door.
It was only at this time that Wang Er turned his attention back to the person who came.
There are very few people who are qualified to break into this room directly without notification or knocking, to be more precise, in the entire Weining Hou Mansion and the entire Luoyang City, there are only four people.
Ye Shuai, Mrs. Ye, Wang Er, and the huge fat man in front of him at this moment.
Since Xia Sheng stepped into the Weining Marquis Mansion, he had never seen this fat man, because at the same moment, this person left the Shuai Mansion under the instruction of Wang Er to investigate a matter.
Naturally, it's about Xia Sheng.
And now, he has collected enough information in the shortest possible time, so he hurried back to discuss with Wang Er.
Wang Er looked at the solemnity in the fat man's eyes, his heart sank again, he took a deep breath, and then asked, "What did you find out?"
The fat man shook his head and said six words: "This son is unfathomable." ”
Wang Er took a deep breath and asked, "What do you mean!"
The fat man didn't answer him directly, but took out a piece of silk cloth from his arms and handed it to Wang Er's eyes: "This is what I found." ”
Wang Er received it in his hand and saw the three blood-red characters on the head: "Arrest warrant!"
After reading the full text, Wang Er's eyes were shocked and asked, "What the hell is going on?"
The fat man shook his head and raised two fleshy fingers: "I'm still investigating the specific situation, but at least I found two things." ”
"First, this arrest warrant was issued from Baima Town, and the arrest document was issued by the mayor of Baima Town, Xiao Zhen, but what is strange is that this arrest warrant was withdrawn less than a day after it was issued!"
"Hmm......" Wang Er nodded, although this matter was a little strange, but compared to the news he had received from the samurai with the sword before, he felt that this arrest warrant was not so shocking.
But then, the fat man's next words made his face change greatly.
"Second, less than five hours after this arrest warrant was withdrawn, it was activated again, but this time it was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who issued this arrest warrant!"
"This is nothing, what is even more incredible is that just a few days later, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, like the mayor of White Horse Town, took the initiative to revoke the arrest document against Xia Sheng!"
The next moment, Wang Er's feet suddenly softened, and he sat back on the chair with his buttocks, completely stupid.
