69. Chapter 69 Visiting Situ's House 2
I walked to the front yard, and before I entered the front yard, I smelled the smell of blood. It had been some time since the Situ family was killed. I didn't expect that the smell of blood would be so strong and linger for a long time.
There was a large garden in the front yard of Situ's house. The pool in the garden had turned red, so bright red that I couldn't bear to look at it, so I quietly sneaked into a house.
There was no one in the house, and there were blood stains on the floor that had long since dried. This was a bedroom, and the messy bedding seemed to have been lifted up casually by someone who had just gotten up. I imagined that this person must have been brutally murdered before he even went out.
For a moment, I hated this group of thieves with all my heart. Even though I had nothing to do with the Situ family, it was unconscionable to kill a whole family so cruelly.
I entered the main hall along the corridor. The tables and chairs in the main hall were in tatters. It was obvious that there had been a fierce fight. Blood stains were everywhere on the wall, which looked like a grimace, eroding the earth.
I looked around, and suddenly there was a bonfire on the east side of the lobby that caught my attention. I walked over and took a closer look. I saw that someone was sorting around the bonfire. From the looks of it, there were at least a few people around it.
Sitting at the campfire.
The trampled dry straw on the ground was obviously brought in from outside. I thought that the Situ family would not light a bonfire in the lobby by themselves.
Could it be that the group of thieves lit it? Thinking about it, I immediately became cautious. I didn’t meet anyone when I walked in. Could it be that the group of thieves had withdrawn? The ashes of the bonfire were still very thick, and they should have been leftover from the burning last night.
So where did this group of people go? They couldn't go out to rob someone in broad daylight.
I looked around and made sure no one was there before relaxing. There was indeed something strange about the Situ family. It must be the group of thieves pretending to be ghosts, making people afraid to approach the Situ family's mansion. The most dangerous place is the safest place.
Even Jin Yiwei didn't check this place. It seems that this group of thieves is too courageous.
Where do thieves who disappear in broad daylight go?
After some investigation, but with no results, I decided to go back and come back in the evening. Maybe this group of people would still be here at night.
The dog was still squatting behind the cabin. When he saw me coming back, he asked happily: "Did you see anything?" I shook my head.
After leaving Situ's house, Gouzi and I went to a breakfast stall to eat something. We were in a hurry in the morning, so we didn't eat until now.
At this time, it was already past nine o'clock in the morning. I looked at the people coming and going and suddenly thought of Wang Wendi. I haven't seen this guy for a while. I don't know what's going on. He is the son of Wang Chong, the prefect of Chang'an. I should pay attention to this.
The gang of thieves knows a little better. If you ask him to inquire, you might be able to get some information.
After dinner, I put the dog away and went to the Chang'an prefect's mansion alone. Wang Wendi's house was not far from my house, and from a distance I saw at least a dozen soldiers in armor standing in front of me.
Could something have happened? I stepped forward in three steps, but was stopped by someone.
"Who?" a soldier said sonorously, and at the same time, a group of people raised their weapons and pointed at me.
"I'm looking for Wang Wendi." I was startled and said weakly.
"Bold, my young master's name was also given by you." The soldier said sternly.
"Yes. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Please tell me, sir, that there is a man named Yang Yu who is looking for him." I said. There are so many rules in ancient times. It's so troublesome to meet everyone. In the past, there was no one in front of his house.
There weren't so many guards, but for some reason there were suddenly so many more people.
The soldier glanced at me and went in to report. After a while, Wang Wendi ran out. A group of soldiers saw Wang Wendi and bowed one after another: "Master Wang."
