…
Fifteen miles away, in Shuanglu Town, Zhitian Township, in a large house.
A night owl fluttered and landed on the big tree next to the main house, cooing a few times.
Open the window and let the night owl fly in.
The people in the house closed the windows again, and there was only one person and one bird left in the house.
He casually set up a barrier to prevent people from eavesdropping, and then said to Ye Xiao: "What's the message from the capital?"
"The case of the missing messenger from Lingxu City has been assigned by the monarch to Fu Shanyue."
The man yelled: "Fu Shan Ji can't even find out, Fu Shan Yue is such a rude guy..."
He stood up, took two steps, and then said, "But if Fu Shanyue wants to please the Lord at this time, he should go to great lengths. Well, he still has a few capable people under his command. Who will he send to investigate this matter?"
"still not clear."
The man paused: "Not sure?"
"All the officials under him have other errands." Ye Xiao said, "Only Baishan Zhonglang General Jiao Yu left the capital a few days ago and his whereabouts are unknown."
"Jiao Da's son?" the man asked curiously, "Will Fushan Yue send him alone to handle this matter?"
Night Owl cannot answer this question.
It eats meat and drinks water here, then closes one eye and sleeps.
In the middle of the night, another person who looked like a manager came to the door.
"My master asked me to come over overnight to report." The steward came in through the back door, "The prince sent a special envoy to Youtian Town to investigate the Lingxu City messenger case."
"Oh?" the man asked urgently, "Who did you send?"
"The special envoy is named He Xiao, holding a message from the prince. There is also a tiger named Jiao Yu. It seems to be Baili or something..."
"General of the Hundred Mountains?"
"That's right!" The steward nodded repeatedly, "There is also a goshawk, which I heard is also a palace guard."
"He Xiao?" The man thought for a long time, "I've never heard of it."
"The county invited him to dinner, so he was fine. He suspected that the village sages had killed the pigs in the Yulun Mountain."
The man immediately sat up straight: "Is there any evidence?"
"No, he didn't even look at it, he just talked about it."
"I may not be just talking nonsense, I might be trying to deceive you." The man asked, "What else is there?"
"He's going to see Haozhuwo tomorrow."
"Where are the items used by He?"
The steward took out a cloth bag from his arms and opened it. Inside was a wine glass.
"They were having dinner at Xihonglou, and He Xiao used this wine glass."
"Okay, go back and tell your master, put your heart back in your stomach." The man took the wine glass, "I can't find his head!"
"yes."
After the steward left, the man sat in the room and pondered for a while, then suddenly got up and walked to the yard.
The shadows of the trees are dancing, and there is a corner in the yard where the moonlight cannot shine through.
The man seemed to have crushed something, then poured a ladle of water into this corner.
Soon, something moved in the shadow in the corner.
"Assign a new target: He Xiao." The man lowered his voice and put the cup on the ground. "He is in Youtian Town now and will go to Haozhuwo in Yulun Mountain tomorrow. You know what to do."
