After listening to Taehao's answer, he had to start to suspect a woman, that is, Meisa.

In fact, when the housekeeper revealed to Tae-ho that Mi-sa had overheard him talking and searching for items in his room, he was already convinced that Mi-sa was no ordinary woman. Therefore, she must have come to the City Lord's Mansion for some specific purpose.

He then ordered Ji Ting, who joined the army: "Ji Ting joined the army, yesterday a maid in the official mansion said that she was kidnapped when she was offering incense in the cat temple, you go to investigate whether this matter is true, there should be monks in the cat temple to see it." ”

Ji Ting asked, "Which maid is it?" Is it still in the hands of the gangsters? ”

Tai Hao said: "I went back to the house last night, according to her, she broke free from the rope and escaped, but you don't have to interrogate her first, go to the cat temple first to ask if this matter is true." ”

Ji Ting said: "Xia Guan understands! Then he left.

Tai Hao instructed several officials to write down the names of the 20 corpses and go to the families of the slain soldiers to inform them one by one to come and identify the bodies. After he returned to Yamen, he found Si Gong to join the army Zhu Li, and handed over the payment of pensions and funeral matters to the families of the slain soldiers to Zhu Li.

Taihao came to the side hall of the yamen and rested for a while, he closed his eyes and recalled Meisa's every move in the city lord's mansion. From the first time he saw Misa, he felt familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it. But he never remembered that when he was drunk that night, he asked Misa to dance a dance for the officials, and Taihao carefully recalled every movement in Misa's dance. Suddenly, he remembered that some of the movements of Misa when dancing were like throwing darts, and they were the same as the female samurai of the Japanese Kingdom that he had met on the way to Ongawa Castle. Tai Hao muttered to himself: "Could it be that this beautiful girl is a samurai of the Japanese Kingdom?" ”

At that moment, he took the two officials back to the city lord's mansion, and went to the outside of Misa's room, and asked the two officials to stand guard on both sides of the door, and ordered: "No one is allowed to come in without my order!" ”

Taihao entered Misa's room and found Ruoshui sitting on the edge of the bed chatting with Meisa, Taihao walked over and said to Ruoshui: "Ruoshui, you go out first, I have something to ask Meisa girl." ”

Ruoshui answered the door and went out of the room. Taihao looked at Meisha who was sitting on the bed, smiled and asked, "Meisha girl, are you feeling better now?" ”

Misa still dragged her tired voice and said, "Thank you for your concern, I'm much better now." ”

Tai Hao said: "This official has already instructed Ji Ting to join the army to investigate the gangsters who kidnapped Miss Meisha yesterday, and they will be arrested soon." ”

Misa hesitated: "Let the adults bother!" ”

Tai Hao looked at her face and continued to ask, "Miss Meisha, you said that your home is on a small island in the east, I don't know which island?" ”

Misa hesitated, "The name of my island's island is ...... Qing'ao Island ......"

Taihao had indeed seen the name "Qing'ao Island" on the coastal topographic map before, but this did not prove that she was the people there. Taihao continued to ask: "Who else is in Miss Meisha's family besides Ling Zun?" ”

Meisa said: "I have been dependent on my grandfather since I was a child, and there are only our father and daughter in our family. ”

"Miss Meisha's life is really tragic!" Tai Hao sighed, "Looking at the posture of the beautiful girl, she should have practiced martial arts, right?" ”

When Meisa heard Taihao say this, she couldn't help but sigh, and then said: "When I was young, I learned some self-defense skills because I was afraid of being bullied. ”

Tai Hao was about to ask again, when a servant outside the door came in and reported: "My lord, Ji Ting has an urgent matter to see outside the door. ”

As soon as Tai Hao heard that Ji Ting was coming, he hurriedly walked out of the door, Ji Ting first saluted Tai Hao, and then said: "My lord, I have found out ......."

Taihao was afraid that the voice of the speech would be heard by Meisa in the house, so he took Ji Ting aside and asked him to continue. Ji Ting said: "My lord, according to a monk in the Cat Temple, there was indeed a woman in the Cat Temple who was taken away by several big men yesterday, but they thought it was the woman's family, so they didn't ask about the matter, and they didn't report the case to the government. ”

After hearing this, Taihao wondered: "Could it be that what Miss Meisha said is true?" ”

Ji Ting said: "After investigating with the people on the street, Xia Guan has determined the location of those gangsters, and they will be arrested soon!" ”

"Ji Ting did a good job in joining the army, and after arresting the gangsters, he took them directly to the Yamen." Tai Hao said, "This official is going to go to the Cat God Temple in person now." ”

Ji Ting asked, "Do you want to send two servants to follow your lord?" ”

Tai Hao said: "No need, the official can go by himself." ”

Ji Ting left in response. Tai Hao said to the two officials who were guarding the door of Misa's room, "Your task is to keep Miss Misa's safe, and until I return, don't go anywhere, let alone let anyone near her room." ”

The two officials replied in unison, "Yes, my lord." ”

Tai Hao told again: "If there is any emergency, immediately go to the Cat Temple to inform me, don't hesitate, understand?" ”

The two officials nodded again and replied, "Yes, my lord." ”

Then Tai Hao left the city lord's mansion and went to the cat temple, on the way to the cat temple, he met the soldiers who were searching with soldiers to join the army and be able to jin, Tai Hao asked Neng Jin: "Can Jin join the army, have you found the widows hiding in the city?" ”

Neng Jin replied: "My lord, we still haven't found any Japanese invaders, but we found something suspicious in a grass house next to the Cat God Temple, and Xia Guan has now let two soldiers guard there." ”

"Next to the Cat Temple?" Taihao asked, "What's suspicious?" Take the official to see it. ”

After that, Tai Hao and Neng Jin took a few soldiers and came to the grass house next to the cat temple, Tai Hao looked around at the furnishings in the grass house, and saw a table in the middle of the grass house, but the table was full of all kinds of food, and there were some animal skins hanging on the wall, it seemed that the owner of this room should be a hunter.

Tai Hao asked Neng Jin, "What's suspicious about this room?" ”

Neng Jin said: "Lord Taihao, you can smell it carefully, the smell in this room ......"

Tai Hao carefully smelled the smell of this grass house, and found that there was a strange aroma in this house, like some kind of special rouge smell.

Tai Hao said: "Maybe the owner of this house is a woman. ”

Neng Jin said slowly: "My lord, this grass house belongs to the government, and the reason for building this grass house is that it often rains suddenly in Wenchuan City, and the previous city lord ordered this grass house to be built here, if it rains, the people can come here to shelter from the rain, and will prepare a lot of food for the people to eat." When Xiaguan searched here just now, the people nearby said that they have often seen a man and a woman with two unfamiliar faces enter here these days, but they have never seen them come out, so Xiaguan did smell this aroma here, this aroma Xiaguan is very familiar with, it is a kind of herbal aroma, it comes from Yisu Island, Yisu Island is a small island in the south of the Wa Kingdom, and the women on the island often use this herb to make up and change their appearance, and they can become another look after taking this herb. ”

"How amazing can it be?" Tai Hao asked, "Why does Neng Jin join the army dare to conclude that this aroma comes from Yisu Island?" ”

Neng Jin said: "Xiaguan's parents are both merchants, and they have always traded with the merchants of Yifu Island before, and Xiaguan has also followed his parents to Yifu Island many times, and has seen this herb, and also knows the use of herbs. ”

Taihao nodded and said, "I see! He walked up and down the grass hut to see if there were traps or anything like that, but he didn't find anything out of the ordinary. He muttered, "I saw a man and a woman come in, but I don't go out?" Then there may be secret passages here, and they have gone out from somewhere else. ”

Taihao saw that the place of the grass house was covered with hay, so he asked the soldiers to turn over all the hay on the ground, and sure enough, he found a movable wooden board in the corner of a wall.

Taehao ordered the soldiers to explore this mysterious secret passage with torches. The inside of the secret passage is narrow and dark, and the wind is biting, and it is not known where it leads. Taihao and his soldiers walked cautiously along the passage, their hearts full of curiosity and vigilance.

After walking for a while, they came to a huge underground cavern. The cave is very spacious, and under the light of the torches, Taihao can see the whole cave clearly. There were still a few Japanese knives hanging on the walls of the cave, and Tai Hao said, "Everyone be careful, check if there is anything suspicious in this cave." ”

As soon as the words fell, a figure flashed, and a soldier fell to the ground in an instant, and Taihao knew that it was the Japanese who were hiding here who appeared. Taihao shouted loudly: "Everyone get out of the way, I'll deal with him!" ”

At this time, under the light of the torches, Taihao saw the appearance of the Japanese coward clearly, he was Fujiwara Zhongichi, with whom Taihao had fought twice. Taihao Zhengse said: "Fujiwara Zhongichi, it turns out that you are hiding here!" ”

Fujiwara Nakaichi smiled and said, "Since you have found it, then don't want to live!" ”

After saying that, he swung his knife and slashed, and several soldiers hurriedly drew their knives to confront him. But those soldiers were no match for him, and Taihao shouted again: "Get out of the way, Fujiwara Nakaichi, suffer death!" ”

As he spoke, Tai Hao pulled out the long sword he was wearing, and made a move "Leaves without a Trace", and the sword light floated like a leaf to the place where Fujiwara Nakachi was in the vein. Fujiwara Nakaichi is a master, and when he saw the sword attacking, he hurriedly raised his sword to block. Tai Hao then used a move to "chase the wind and electricity", and the sword was as fast as lightning stabbing out, straight to his throat. Fujiwara Nakashi was quick at a glance, and when he saw this, a ghost flickered directly, and he ran behind Tai Hao, and before several soldiers next to him could react, they saw Fujiwara Nakachi about to slash behind Tai Hao. At this time, a soldier shouted: "My lord, be careful! ”

Taihao felt that Fujiwara Zhongichi was behind him, and flashed to the side, but Fujiwara Zhongichi's knife slashed at Taihao's long sword. Its strength was extremely strong, Tai Hao only felt a sharp pain in his hand, and the sword in his hand immediately took off his hand. Tai Hao turned around and directly used the first move of "Snow Cat Fluttering Shadow" "Catching the Wind and Catching the Shadow", this sudden punch caught Fujiwara Nakaichi off guard. When Fujiwara Nakaichi raised his sword again to fight back, he was tightly hugged by several soldiers. Tai Hao's fingers used enough strength to use a move to "turn over the river and the sea", hitting Fujiwara Nakaichi's acupoint, making him unable to move.

Taihao said: "Let go of him, he can't run away." Please check in the cave to see if there are any other items hidden in the cave, and be careful. ”

Several soldiers said in unison: "Yes!" ”
