The tragedy of the 113 members of the wealthy businessman Zhao Linchen's family was wiped out, which had already caused a sensation in the entire Linshan City, and the news was still spreading to the surrounding areas. For a while, everyone who heard about this was terrified, especially those rich and noble.
As a result, every day, the wealthy businessmen and magnates in Linshan City, as well as the children of the official eunuchs, went to the government to inquire about the detection of the case.
Invisibly, it brought great pressure to Wu Zheng.
If the case cannot be solved as soon as possible, first, it will not be able to calm the panic caused by it; second, it will not be possible to give an explanation to the 113 people including Zhao Linchen, who died, as well as his eldest son Zhao Senjun, who must come to the palace every day to listen to the news, and the four married daughters; third, as the Yin of the Wupin Mansion, Wu Zheng also needs to give an explanation to the imperial court.
Moreover, the appointment of Jiangning Mansion on the night of the full moon on August 15 is getting closer and closer, and Wu Zheng, who has already regarded Tie Ning as a relative in his heart, will never want to miss the appointment. In particular, I don't know if the upcoming full moon night is good or bad for Tie Ning, why would we tell ourselves not to miss it in the message. This kind of hanging and unknown longing is the most tormenting.
Therefore, Wu Zheng pushed out all the relevant matters of the government as long as they could be handed over to his subordinates, and all his experiences were put on the case of Zhao Linchen's extermination.
After thinking about it, there was no other clue to track except for the current clue in Ruyan Pavilion, so Wu Zheng decided to explore Ruyan Pavilion again at night.
Yesterday was Zhengda Guangming, and it was obvious that although he didn't say it explicitly, Wu Zheng was still sure that Bustard, Yue'er, and Jin'er all knew their identities. Then just spy on it tonight. See if you can make unexpected discoveries.
Wu Zheng, who was making plans, waited for Qin Jinwen's report in the back hall of the mansion in the evening.
"My lord, as my lord said, Ruyan Pavilion has indeed just come to a girl named Yue'er. It's just,"
"Something to say. ”
"It's just that although this Yue'er girl is more handsome than the rough girl Yue'er, she only has the appearance of a middle-aged person. It's not as beautiful as adults describe. Also,"
Say. ”
"This newly-arrived Yue'er girl really doesn't sell herself, but just agrees to be a waiter. ”
"When did you get there?"
"Five days ago, otherwise the villain wouldn't have known. ”
"Since you don't plan to sell your body, and you don't have any skills, why do you have to go to a place like the Smoke Pavilion?"
The villain also inquired clearly. It is said that the deceased father of the Yue'er girl owed the bustard more than a dozen taels of silver, so Yue'er came to pay off the debt with work. ”
"Where is the dead father, who is there?"
"Because the old man told not to alarm the people in the Ruyan Pavilion, the villain has not inquired clearly. ”
Seeing that Qin Jinwen had no other useful news, Wu Zheng waved his hand and sent him away. A man sat in a chair and fell into a long thought.
In the end, Wu Zheng could only come up with an extremely unreasonable answer, that is, the same Yue'er girl had a completely different appearance in the eyes of herself and everyone in the hall last night.
In addition, it is difficult to explain why so many guests were indifferent to the beautiful and dusty Yue'er girl in their eyes last night.
It is impossible that because of her special aesthetics, the beautiful and extraordinary Yue'er girl in her eyes is not looked at by others.
Unheard. What is the reason for this result?
Think about the scene last night, when I arrived at the hall on the first floor of Ruyan Pavilion. The guests were almost there. At that time, Miss Yue'er was already working in the hall. In other words, from the beginning, the beauty of the Yue'er girl was ignored by everyone.
When I entered the hall, there was only incense burning in the incense burner on the low ground in the middle of the space, and there was no other unusual smell. Although, later, after the drunken Shi Jin'er girl appeared on the stage, there was a faint fragrance. However, Miss Yue'er was ignored obviously before that.
Could it really be the incense in the incense burner?
Immediately, Wu Zheng was denied the conclusion he had just reached by another detail that appeared in his mind.
Why is it that all the other guests in the hall have refreshments, fruits, etc., but not themselves? It probably is not because no one charges their own entrance fee.
Was it an accidental mistake, or was it intentional?
This couldn't help but remind Wu Zheng of the look of the bustard squeezing her eyebrows at Miss Yue'er before entering the door. Could it be that the bustard's hint that the Yue'er girl didn't give herself some tea and fruit?
Wu Zheng, who didn't figure it out until after dinner, simply didn't want to. A man wandered through the streets of Linshan Castle. Unlike last night, there is no folding fan in his hand, and his body has changed into a shirt and pants instead of a long shirt.
It is estimated that the time should be the end of the time and the beginning of the time, and Wu Zheng, who felt that it was the right time, soon came to Kangning Street on the north side of Fushou Street, that is, on the street where the back door of Ruyan Pavilion is located.
Although Ruyan Pavilion has a back door on Corning Street, it is usually locked, and there is not even a gatehouse. It is estimated that this is only to be left behind the door in order to deal with unexpected situations.
The courtyard wall that is more than one person high is nothing in Wu Zheng's eyes, so it is easy to climb up. In order to prevent being discovered by the people in the courtyard of Ruyan Pavilion and the passers-by on the street, Wu Zheng hung his body in the shadow on the side of the courtyard wall. Climbing the upper edge of the courtyard wall with both hands, he moved slowly until he found a window where he could clearly see the scene in the hall on the first floor.
To Wu Zheng's surprise, tonight there was silence in the hall on the first floor of Ruyan Pavilion, except for the two maids who were silently cleaning up something, there was no guest.
This made Wu Zheng suddenly feel a little overwhelmed.
Originally, the purpose of this visit was to find the Yue'er girl who served her last night, so as to figure out why so many guests were indifferent to her beauty. Where should I look for this? As a last resort, Wu Zheng climbed directly from the back wall of Ruyan Pavilion to the eaves of the second floor. Hook the eaves with your feet, head under foot, window by window.
Fortunately, it was the height of summer, and the windows were open regardless of whether there were guests in the room or not. Although they are all hung with thin green screens, you can still faintly see the figures inside, especially the clear sound of conversation. This is enough, enough for Wu Zheng to distinguish which one is the Yue'er girl.
looked for it one by one, until the back window of the drunken Xi Shi Jin'er girl, not only did she not find the Yue'er girl, but even the Jin'er girl's room was pitch black and silent.
What's going on?
Wu Zheng hung in a daze at the window behind the drunken Xi Shi Jin'er girl for a long time, and couldn't figure it out in his heart. Where did Yue'er and Miss Jin'er go?
For example, the main structure of the smoke pavilion is the first and second floors, although there is a spire-like attic above, which can barely be regarded as the third floor, but Wu Zheng has already observed it when he walked on the street, and there is no light in the small attic.
However, Wu Zheng, who was anxious to find the answer, still decided to go up and take a look, even if he knew that there would be no result, he would never want to let go of even the slightest opportunity.
