As soon as the people in the secret room were locked up, Bai Qian went up to the second floor. Behind him was an old woman, the wife of old man Li who made candied haws, and the neighbors on the street called her Granny Li.
After all, Granny Li was older and her health was naturally not as good as that of Bai Qian. She caught up and asked breathlessly: "Young man, please slow down, you are running up to the second floor in such a hurry, but is there something wrong?"
Bai Qian ignored the old woman at all and just finished the errands assigned to him by Zhan Wenxuan. But now when he looked around, he didn't see even a shadow.
The second floor is such a big place, and you can spot it at a glance. But Bai Qian still searched the entire second floor carefully, and finally came to the conclusion: It is impossible to hide here!
Granny Li certainly knew that Su Wan and the others were resting on the second floor. She was also very sure that they had always been here and had never left.
Now that I see this empty second floor, I feel a lot of doubts in my heart. But after thinking about it, I don't think this situation is strange anymore.
As early as when Miss Su came to Beijing, the people in the capital saw the Su family's financial resources. She also heard that merchants cherished their lives very much. The richer the merchants were, the more they would spend a lot of money to hire people.
Protect yourself.
If not, this shop was obviously opened by Miss Su with money, why would she put the shop in their name?!
After understanding this, Granny Li's expression also softened. She watched Bai Qian wander around the room twice, and then she smiled and said, "Young man, why don't you talk to me about this?
What did you come here for?"
"Old lady, can a woman rest here just now?" Bai Yu asked with a serious expression, sniffing the sweet aroma in the air.
Granny Li shook her head and replied: "Young man, you saw it too. The whole second floor is like this. If there is anyone there, wouldn't you have seen it when you just came up?"
Bai Qian thought to himself, he had already seen it just now, and it was true that no one was there, so he didn't want to waste time here. He walked to the window and looked down, met his master's gaze, and silently shook his head.
Shake his head.
Zhan Wenxuan had been standing there just now, looking at the windows on the second floor.
He didn't see anyone entering through the window to take the people out, nor did he find that Niang San'er in the shop on the first floor. Moreover, Bai Qian had already gone up to check and said there was no one there.
The glance just now happened to be too fast, and I have been a little upset these days. At this time, I couldn't help but doubt myself.
Did you have a hallucination just now?!
…
The secret guards sent by Eunuch Xu to look for Zhan Wenxuan finally found Wu Li squatting on the roof after running half of the capital.
"Boss, something happened in the house!" The man appeared in front of Wu Li and said eagerly before he could salute. "Concubine Yun just made a fuss in the yard, threatening her with death, and clamoring to see the master."
"When the subordinates came out, Eunuch Xu had already rushed over to deal with it. The troublesome boss will inform the master of the matter and ask the master to make an idea."
Wu Li had a very bad impression of Su Yun. Although they had not had much contact with her, they had seen what Su Yun had done over the years.
If it weren't for Concubine De supporting her, she might have been expelled from the palace by her master...
Raising his hand and pressing his temples, Wu Li said "I understand" and went down to the roof to go to Zhan Wenxuan. He whispered a few words to him and told him about the secret guard just now.
When Zhan Wenxuan heard this, his face darkened instantly. In terms of the ability to seek death, Su Yun definitely beat Su Wan. Since Su Wan disappeared, Su Yun has used all the skills to seek death.
Putting it on Zhan Wenxuan made the entire palace uneasy.
"Go back home!" Zhan Wenxuan ordered coldly, then turned around and got on the carriage. As for the matter of buying candied haws for Concubine De, he had already put it in the back of his mind...
