"Cheng Yun, break down the door." Upon hearing this, Mrs. Dingguo said sternly to Cheng Yun.
Cheng Yun responded and kicked the wooden door with his big foot. The wooden door burst into pieces. Mrs. Dingguo asked the housekeeper to keep an eye on the people outside and not allow other servants to get close. She led the people in.
.
The room was quite large, with one mile outside and one outside. Cheng Yun entered first and opened a curtain between the inside and outside. A man dressed like a servant was lying on the bed, face down.
Cheng Yun went over and turned him over with the handle of the knife. Xia Pingting already screamed in surprise. She quickly covered her lips and looked at the other people in the room who looked calm.
"Is he dead?" she asked tremblingly.
Cheng Yun raised his hand to feel his breath and then shook his head, "Out of breath!"
Wu Yun'er grew up in a military camp and was not afraid of these things. She followed Duke Dingguo's wife to Mobei and had seen what the battlefield was like, so she was naturally calm. Only Xia Pingting was well protected, even when she went to Mobei.
Her husband also took her all the way, and even when she encountered bandits on the road, he resolutely protected her from seeing the bad things. As for Fu Mingyu... She died once, how could she be afraid of death again.
When Fu Mingyu came here, she had already expected that someone would die here. So now that she saw the corpse, she didn't have any big reaction.
When she died in her previous life, her soul floated for a moment. What she saw at that time was the devastated capital with flames everywhere, and the people who were shouting and howling under the swords of the rebels who were revolting. At that time, the capital was like a purgatory on earth.
Although this time was very short, it left a deep impression on her.
Having seen so many dead people or tragic scenes with broken arms and legs, the dead person in front of Fu Mingyu was not scary at all...
"Sure enough, we were discovered." Fu Mingyu sighed and said.
"Yes." Mrs. Dingguo's face looked very bad. "Now I have alerted the enemy." A bit of annoyance flashed across her face, "It's all my fault. If I could have been more careful."
"Mother, there is no need to blame yourself." Fu Mingyu said, "It's not necessarily a bad thing to alert the enemy." She took a step forward and comforted Duke Dingguo.
"Now that this boy is dead, isn't there another one?" Wu Yuner asked, "Where is that person?"
"Run away." Fu Mingyu said, pointing to the open window on one side of the house.
"Go down and check to see if there are any traces." Cheng Yun clasped his fists and walked to the window. There was obviously a row of footprints on the ground outside the window because this was a small alley sandwiched between the house and the wall.
The width is tight enough for one person to walk around, so no one comes in to clean it up when it snows.
Cheng Yun immediately jumped out and followed the footprints. He found that the footprints disappeared at the end of the alley. He must have climbed over the wall. Cheng Yun jumped on the wall. Sure enough, the snow on the glazed tiles on the wall here showed signs of being picked up. Then the snow outside the wall fell on the wall.
There are also footprints.
Cheng Yun chased after him, and his footprints disappeared after passing through the alley at the back door and entering the main street.
Cheng Yun had no choice but to come back and report the truth to Fu Mingyu.
"Pingting, do you still remember the boy who was in charge of flowers and plants in the front yard?" Mrs. Dingguo asked Xia Pingting after hearing this.
Xia Pingting's face was still pale. She tried not to look at the body on the bed. When Mrs. Dingguo asked her, she suddenly came back to her senses and thought, "I have an impression. His name should be Jin Shui. I remember
He is good at raising flowers." She paused and asked, "Is that young man who escaped Jin Shui?"
"Yes." Mrs. Dingguo nodded.
"Daughter-in-law, I understand." Xia Pingting was also quick-thinking. She already understood what Madam Dingguo wanted her to do before Madam Dingguo gave her orders. She walked out immediately.
"Where are you going, second sister-in-law?" Fu Mingyu was a little confused and asked Wu Yun'er in a low voice.
"Your second sister-in-law is the best at ink painting." Wu Yuner told her.
"Oh. I know!" Fu Mingyu finally realized, "Second sister-in-law went to have her portrait taken!"
Wu Yuner gave her a thumbs up, which made Fu Mingyu feel embarrassed.
"What's wrong!" She remembered something again, and before she finished speaking, she heard someone beating gongs and drums in the house. "Oh no, it's gone wrong!"
"Water?" Everyone looked at each other in confusion. Fu Mingyu was the first to rush out and saw that a place in the backyard was really bright with fire. Because it was already dark, the fire was clearly visible from a distance.
"Ah!" Duke Dingguo's wife came out to take a look, and immediately slapped her thigh and said, "Isn't this the location of Yuner's Qingfeng Garden?"
"Mother of the evening!"
"Mother!"
Wu Yuner and Fu Mingyu blurted out almost at the same time.
The boy who entered the blond gambling house died, and the late wife will be next!
"Cheng Yun, go check out the Blond Gambling House!" Fu Mingyu hurriedly called to Cheng Yun.
Mrs. Ding Guogong also remembered that there was a Jinfa Gambling House. She said to Aunt Ning, "Go and ask a team of personal guards from the house to go with Guard Cheng." The two of them went to the Jinfa Gambling House one after another.
If something goes wrong, the blond gambling house may not be able to be saved!
After Mrs. Dingguo and Fu Mingyu made arrangements, everyone hurried in the direction of the fire.
The place where the fire broke out was indeed Qingfengyuan, the residence of Mrs. Dingguo, which was the residence of sister-in-law Wu Yuner, and the center of the fire was the small kitchen in the yard.
The fire was burning very hard. By the time they arrived, the small kitchen was already burning red, with the crackling and breaking sounds of firewood from time to time. The fire, driven by the wind, also attracted the two houses next to it where the maids lived.
It's just that the two houses were not burned as badly as the small kitchen.
The people in Duke Dingguo's Mansion were busy putting out the fire, and it was already a mess.
Mrs. Ding Guogong, Fu Mingyu and Wu Yun'er stood in the open space on one side. The three of them looked at the fire and pursed their lips in silence.
With a loud "boom", the burned beams in the small kitchen finally collapsed under the load, and the entire house also collapsed. For a while, dust and sparks dispersed in a controlled manner.
"Mom, please stay away." Wu Yun'er was worried about Mrs. Dingguo and held her arm.
Then Wu Yun'er raised her eyes and looked at Mrs. Ding Guogong in astonishment.
Fu Mingyu also sensed something was wrong and quickly took hold of the other arm of Mrs. Dingguo.
When she touched Mrs. Dingguo's arm, she knew why Wu Yun'er looked shocked.
Because both she and Wu Yoona felt the trembling of Mrs. Dingguo's arms.
She also looked at Duke Dingguo's wife, but saw her mother-in-law's resolute face.
Mrs. Dingguo's trembling was not because of fear, but because of anger!
