Chapter 520: Disappearing Human Witness
He looked at He Lingchuan and said, "You say, will Wu Kai have been killed by Cen Boqing and falsely claimed to have returned to the north?"
Wu Kai is Cen Boqing's black glove, and it is likely that he will be in charge of all matters such as killing demons and taking pearls. This person is a living evidence, after Cen Boqing finds that he can't exonerate himself from the messenger case, will he directly destroy this witness?
"It's unlikely." He Lingchuan has been thinking about this statement, "If Cen Boqing has killed Wu Kai and killed him, he just needs to find a reason at will, such as stampede by the lake, such as stumbling and dying, although it is unreliable, but people are dead, what can you and I do?" I can only admit that he is a step ahead."
As soon as Snail Toad committed the murder in Chaohu Tower, He Lingchuan called Fushanyue to Baisha, and at the same time asked Lu Dutong to besiege Cen Mansion, just to be in a hurry, so that Cen Boqing could not react - Mr. Mai said that he lacked urgency, He Lingchuan observed for many days, and thought to himself, otherwise he would marry the eldest daughter of Bega Dasi Nong, and also accumulated a little military merit, why can't he be promoted to the martial arts? If you don't have the talent to make decisions on the spot, you are a short board on the battlefield. If he is allowed to eat and drink well after he goes back, and then think about it for half a night, maybe he will figure out the stakes and kill Wu Kai with a heart.
"So I'm inclined to think that Wu Kai is still alive, and he is indeed no longer in the Cen Mansion."
"Was he really sent to Lingxu City by Cen Boqing?" Fu Shanyue shook his head, "Time is so urgent, do you have to leave in two batches? Besides, Wu Kai rarely leaves Cen Boqing's side."
He Lingchuan thought for a while: "I still have a guess: maybe Wu Kai fled on his own, just when Lu Dutong led people to besiege Cen Mansion, and Cen Boqing was so busy that people turned on their backs!"
"Escape...... Fu Shan wanted to laugh the more he wanted to laugh, but the more he thought about it, the more reliable he felt, "Your idea, well, you mean that Wu Kai reacted before Cen Boqing, and he felt that his life was in danger and escaped over the wall?"
"When a catastrophe comes, both husband and wife have to work hard, let alone a pair of master and servant? We can no longer look at Cen Boqing and Wu Kai as a whole. If Wu Kai stays, he will either be killed by Cen Bo or arrested by us, which will not end well, so it is better to leave." He Lingchuan analyzed, "Anyway, he also knows that the first offender we want to arrest is Cen Boqing. He can learn from Mai Xuewen and fly away."
Fu Shanyue stroked his chin: "There is a way to verify this. Jiao Yu Tiger got up and walked, the tip of his tail wagging slightly.
Fu Shanyue asked it, "You said earlier that Wu Kai's family is also in Baisha?"
Wu Kai lost his son in middle age, but fortunately, his grandson has always been healthy. The daughter-in-law also brought her grandson to Baishaqi this time. The mother and son are now living in a private house on Biandan Lane.
This is the clue sent by Mai Xuewen yesterday, Jiao Yu heard it on the side, so he sent someone to keep an eye on it, and then reported it to the prince.
"You bring someone to protect them now." Fu Shanyue smiled, "Lest Cen Boqing strike first."
He Lingchuan looked sideways. I haven't seen him for more than 20 days, and the more Fushan speaks, the more he speaks, he clearly wants to blackmail people, but he says "protection".
The tiger didn't say a word, turned around and walked out.
Only then did Fu Shanyue say to He Lingchuan Zhengse: "Even the patrol envoy dares to swallow it, and the surname Mai is more courageous than you and me."
It's just bigger than you, why bring me? Before He Lingchuan finished complaining, Fu Shanyue continued: "The Zhongsun family and Dasi Nong will not give up, not to mention that this matter will most likely alarm the emperor. We are here to try to solve the problem quickly, find all the evidence, and crucify Cen Boqing to death, otherwise Baisha will face a violent storm."
Then he saw He Lingchuan stretching out his hand to him: "Huh? What for?"
"The case is almost settled here, shouldn't you give me what you agreed upon?"
"Hey, Cen Boqing didn't have a law, this case won't be finished!" Having said that, Fu Shanyue still took out a brocade bag from his arms and handed it to him, "Take it."
He Lingchuan took it and took a look, it turned out to be a storage bag, and there were seven or eight cubes in the space, and it was empty, with only a few materials piled up in the corner.
These are the materials provided to He Lingchuan to upgrade the Golden Armor and Bronze Man.
Every amount is enough, and even if he fails to refine, he can do it again.
Fu Shanyue is finally generous, and he is no longer the one who picks and searches on the way back to the capital
Prince. He Lingchuan counted it and frowned: "It's missing.
What about the book that explains the black Jiao pattern? "
He agreed to come to investigate the white-shouldered carving messenger case, also because he negotiated the conditions with Fu Shanyue, in addition to upgrading the materials of the gold armor and bronze man, Fu Shanyue also had to help him find a ***.
There was a black Jiao pattern in that book.
"The dust is settled, and the book is yours." Fu Shan stretched his waist and stood up, "I stole into the imperial study three or four times before I found it, you have to be worthy of my hard work."
He Lingchuan rolled his eyes, what the hell, he didn't have to work hard to handle this case?
I almost gave up my life.
The white sand is not big, and the flat alley is also close. About three quarters of an hour later, the tiger returned.
"No one caught. Wu Kai's daughter-in-law and grandson have fled from Biandan Lane."
Fushan Yueqi said, "Didn't you send someone to keep an eye on you?"
"I saw them walking through the window before, but they were no longer there when they were about to be arrested. Jiao Yu was also embarrassed, "It turns out that there is a secret door in that house, which leads directly to the rice shop next door."
"No wonder Wu Kai wants to rent that house. Oh, if it's a rent, maybe it's his property." Fu Shanyue sneered, "This person is really cautious.
"Also, the house was exceptionally clean, and the medicine was fumigated, and there was not even a single hair left."
"They won't be able to run for more than two hours, so they should be out of town as soon as possible." Fu Shanyue also instructed Jiao Yu, "Take people to search out from the West City Gate and the North City Gate respectively, and at the same time send eagle guards to keep an eye on pedestrians on the road."
Hawk eyes are far sharper than human eyes and can find prey from high altitudes. "Yes."
Jiao Yu turned around to leave, when the goshawk suddenly flew from outside and stopped on the big tree beside Fu Shanyue: "Your Highness, I wanted to return with Master Jiao, but before leaving, I saw Wu Kai's house rented to his grandson, and he entered again."
"Oh? Who?"
"I followed them and found out that those two were the guards of the Cen Mansion." Although Lu Dutong led people to surround Cen Mansion, Cen Mansion was not a prison after all, and the subordinates went in and out to buy vegetables, poured night incense, and couldn't stop them all. "These two people didn't go back to Cen Mansion, but went to the second floor of the shop across the street and took a mirror to look into Cen Mansion."
Good guys, the mirror code words are all out. Fu Shanyue thought about it for a while, and couldn't help laughing wildly: "Ahahahaha, Cen Boqing was actually put on a show by his loyal old servant!"
"You're right, Wu Kai was not sent away by him, but absconded privately, otherwise why did Cen Boqing send someone to search for his grandson?" Fu Shanyue sighed twice, "No wonder when I asked for Wu Kai in Cen Mansion, Cen Boqing's face was so ugly. Not only did he not be able to hand over people, but he was also used by Wu Kai as a shield behind the pad!"
"We besieged Cen Mansion, and we also blocked Cen Boqing's footsteps in sending people to search for Wu Kai. He Lingchuan said lightly, "It can be said that we are also Wu Kai's shield."
Fuyama's laughter came to an abrupt end.
"If you see through it, you're still a good friend."
"Wu Kai also took precautions against Cen Boqing, which shows that the master and servant are not as trusting each other as they seem on the surface, which is good news. He Lingchuan knew that Fu Shanyue had no discipline, and he could do such a thing as kidnapping his grandson. He didn't plan to interject, but such a simple action dragged out a complicated follow-up, and he was interested, "The bad news is that Wu Kai and these people didn't flee in a hurry, I'm afraid it's not so easy to arrest."
"What's the explanation?" Fu Shanyue raised his eyebrows, "Is there anything calm about escaping?" Where do you see that? 「
"Wu Kai didn't know that Mai Xuewen gave us clues. In other words, he couldn't have predicted that you would search for his family, but he was ready to send them away from Pak Sha Wai." He Lingchuan explained, "He can prepare a house with a secret door, and of course, he can plan the route and measures for his family to escape from Baishawei in advance. Heh, I'm afraid he has already arranged the available manpower, carriages and horses, and is not in a hurry. Such premeditated and prepared should no longer be called fleeing, but evacuating."
Looking back at Wu Kai's attitude now, it already explains the problem.
This old man is very confident.
It's no wonder that he didn't let his daughter-in-law take his grandson to live in Cen Mansion, but rented it outside, and he was ready to get out at any time
。
Fu Shanyue was not convinced: "If Wu Kai really knows how to plan for a rainy day, why didn't he send his family away earlier? You and Cen Boqing exchanged hands a few days ago."
He Lingchuan said slowly, "He is not just guarding against us."
"Not us?" Fu Shanyue is also a smart person, and after a little thought, he sighed, "You mean, he is still wary of Cen Boqing?"
"I'm afraid so. As it turned out, he was right. He Lingchuan continued, "Cen Boqing knows that his daughter-in-law brought her children to play in Baisha. If the mother and son suddenly leave early, Cen Boqing will understand that Uncle Wu is also on guard against him."
Fushiyama played with taste: "This is really interesting for the master and servant. From this point of view, if Wu Kai fails to escape in time, I will detain him and still play into his arms?"
"Otherwise, for the sake of his own safety, Cen Boqing is likely to kill him as soon as he returns." He Lingchuan thought for a moment, "He didn't do this before, which means that Wu Kai is very important or Cen Boqing has other fears; But now that Zhongsun Mou is dead, everything is going in a bad direction, and he may not be able to take care of so much."
He paused and said, "Wu Kai has already fled, and it is impossible for Cen Boqing to confess. After a few days, the envoy sent by Lingxu City has arrived, and things may be variable again. As you just said, how can Da Si Nong stand idly by and watch his son-in-law's trouble?"
Fu Shanyue clasped his arms in his hands: "According to what you say, didn't I run for nothing?"
If you want to convict Cen Boqing, the key lies in Wu Kai's confession. Who doesn't know that Wu Kai is the henchman of the Cen family's father and son? Only when he confessed, Cen Boqing could not escape justice.
But Wu Kai disappeared at this juncture.
