Chapter 40: The Sunset Courtyard

In the Prime Minister's Mansion, Liu Wenzhong was playing with a key in his hand, and a man stood solemnly in front of him, a solemn man was dressed in a black flying fish suit, he was a little fat, and his fleshy face looked very cute and cute, but at this time he looked very anxious.

"My lord, we have the key, but we don't know where this house is."

Liu Wenzhong sneered, threw the key to the man in front of him, and said, "The key is in our hands, it's a big deal to find it one by one, and the one that can be opened is the one who can open it." Yu also didn't have a key, and he couldn't be sure that it was Cai Yong's house without finding what he was looking for. ”

The fat man also understood this, and then arched his hand and said: "Understood, my subordinates will do it now." ”

"Be careful when you do things, don't be discovered."

The fat man replied and left.

returned to the time of waiting for news, and Yu Yi arrived at the Tongcha Mansion. After the restart, because Anti gave a deadline, the craftsmen also sped up. At this point, all the first floors have been completed, and now the frame for the second floor is being made.

During the time he stayed with Bai Jiangyi, Yu Yi also learned some fur, and after going in and making a general round, he didn't find any problems that he could see, so he left.

After that, Yu Yi also wandered around the capital, trying to find out if there was a vacant house, but he didn't find anything.

When he returned to Linwang's Mansion, he found that the Shen family had already returned. Unexpectedly, no one on the list given by Xu Yangqiu was suspicious. Come to think of it, the people who can let Xu Yangqiu know that they have contacts must be slightly cleaner.

Bai Jiangyi didn't eat much for dinner, so he hurried out with Wanrong. Before leaving, he specially instructed that tonight was the women's bureau and would not let them follow. Yu Yi agreed, but he was still not at ease, so he asked Mo Linwei to follow him secretly. Fortunately, nothing happened, and the two also returned to the house at four o'clock, and Yu Yi waited in the study for Zheng Bingzhou to come back when he arrived in the ugly, so he also got up and went to rest.

This night the capital was lively, except for Zheng Bingzhou and Liu Wenzhong's fat people, even Dali Temple joined this secret competition. It's just that only Dali Temple can be searched openly by the three teams, and Zheng Bingzhou and the fat man can only wear night clothes while avoiding Dali Temple while searching for the empty house.

It snowed again in the second half of the night, and the traces left after the snow would be obvious, so Zheng Bingzhou also returned to Linwangfu to rest first. Fortunately, it was not long after the snow fell, so Zheng Bingzhou quietly left the Linwang Mansion again when the sky was slightly bright.

The night market was developed, and several female owners of Ding'anju also began to prepare for the opening ceremony. The opening of Ding'anju is imminent, Bai Jiangyi, Wanrong and Shen Xuan are also busy, and Yu Yi can't even see her during the day.

Yu also knows that now he and Yun Xinghe are in a cooperative relationship, if Dali Temple takes away the things in the dark grid of Caifu, he will definitely tell himself, but at the moment, Dali Temple has not explained the things in the dark grid but is also searching in the capital, the only explanation is that the things in the dark grid have been taken away by others, and the person who took the things is the person behind the killing of Cai Yong.

This is a war without gunpowder, and only those who find Cai Yong's private house first can have a greater advantage. At this point, Yu also joined the search.

Although he didn't have the key, he could still get clues by analyzing it. First of all, Cai Yong's parents are dead and he has no wife and no children, so what is the reason why he doesn't even want his life to make money? His confession so easily in court could not be based on Yu Yi's evidence alone. He will leave a way back for himself, and he will not make money for himself. Then there must be carriages in and out of the place where he hid his money after his death to carry his money.

Yu Yi also believed in his own judgment, and released all Mo Linwei's spies, and cooperated with Zheng Bingzhou to search for the house that was being moved, and sure enough, there was news that night.

Zheng Bingzhou reported that a total of six houses in the imperial capital were being relocated in the past two days, three of which were waterway merchants, and the houses were rented, and it was normal to move. There are also two houses that have just changed to larger houses, and only a sunset courtyard in the west of the city is being moved, and the action is very small, and a small number of times a day from different city gates to go out.

Time waits for no one, Yu also asked Zheng Bingzhou to transfer troops, and he rushed to the Sunset Courtyard first.

This house, although it is called another courtyard, is not big, more like a house with a small courtyard. Yu also lurked on the roof of a nearby building and watched the movements of the people inside. There was no one in the courtyard, only a woman with a child of about five years old, followed by a wet nurse and a housekeeper, and a few black boxes in the courtyard.

There is no conclusive evidence yet, and Yu Yi doesn't dare to act rashly, anyway, now that the city gate is closed, just wait for the people in the other courtyard to leave and go in and take a look.

Yu Yi stabilized his breath, hid his figure, and quietly stared at every move in the courtyard. Zheng Bingzhou also came to his side at this time, and informed Yu Yi that the Shen family led the team to hide nearby. After Yu Yi nodded in understanding, the two continued to stare at the courtyard below.

In the courtyard below, the nurse had already taken the child back to the room, and the housekeeper checked a few boxes again and returned to the woman: "Madam, that's all that's left, and we'll leave tomorrow as soon as the city gate opens." ”

Madame nodded, her pale lips showing her uneasiness.

Just as the two were communicating, a long sword flew out of the air and pierced Jiading's chest with precision. Jia Ding also snorted, his eyes widened and he fell straight down. Everything happened so suddenly, and before the lady could react, the family was already dead.

The lady looked at the corpse of the family on the ground, and in an instant, her face was covered with cold sweat, and her face became pale, and she had forgotten to scream. She shuddered and turned to look in the direction where the sword flew out, but she was greeted by the cold and piercing blade of the sword.

When Zheng Bingzhou saw this scene, he wanted to get up and go up to help, but was pushed back by Yu Yi. Zheng Bingzhou looked at Yu Yi with a questioning face, and his own general was also nervous at this time, and he also gritted his teeth: "Wait." ”

Madame gasped, and her voice trembled: "Who are you..."

And the person holding the sword on his wife's neck was the fat man next to Liu Wenzhong.

"Mrs. Cai, it's a pleasure." The fat man sneered, and the sword in his hand was also a little harder.

The blade of the sword slashed Madame's neck, and blood slowly flowed down the blade.

The fat man took out a stack of letters from his bosom and continued: "Your son, I took it away, and you hide these in this courtyard, otherwise I dare not guarantee your son's life." The fat man threw the letter in Madame's face, and Madame was so frightened that she closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, there was no one in front of her.

Yu Yi and Zheng Bingzhou also reacted quickly, and the fat man immediately followed when he left.

The lady ignored the letter on the floor, and ran into the bedroom in a panic. But what catches your eye is the body of the nurse and the empty room, where is the name of your son. Madame sat on the ground for a long time, and tried to get up many times, but found that she had no strength to get up. By the time she picked up the letter on the ground, she had already burst into tears, and her lips had been bitten out of blood.
