Night gradually fell, and the figures of several people disappeared into the alley. However, it was not only Fang Wu and Mu Qing who were interested in this matter, but also Zhu Lan himself.
It's just that the latter is a child after all, and his reaction is relatively slow. For a while, he didn't understand what impact his words had.
These people have gained something here, but the progress on Ji Xuan's side is not going well.
Although Wang Qi and Zhang Xuan both used their own methods to know the whereabouts of some officials, they still did not stop them.
When they arrived at the place where the officials appeared, it was not because they suddenly received the news and left first.
It was just taking advantage of the convenience of the place at that time to cause them some trouble, causing them trouble and causing them to miss good opportunities.
Therefore, I had no choice but to return,
However, after Fang Wu and Zhang Xuan returned to the ruined temple, they saw several people staring at Zhu Sanping's portrait in the courtyard.
After all, several people did not return without success. Wang Qi discovered a problem, that is, those officials had been to Zhu's Mansion before contacting them.
It was Zhu Sanping's residence, so several people became extremely curious about this person.
"Master, have you discovered anything?" Fang Wu asked quickly when he saw several people looking at Zhu Sanping's portrait with heavy eyebrows.
"Maybe, but I don't know if it's the right direction." Wang Qi said.
Ji Xuan lowered her head, wondering what she was thinking about, and did not answer their questions.
Fang Wu nodded slowly,
"Where's Mu Qing?" Zhou She asked.
Because the night was already quite late and Tan Sihan was not feeling very refreshed, he went to rest first. He left Zhou She here to take care of a few people.
It is inevitable that something unexpected will happen, after all, the person behind this case is really cunning and difficult to deal with.
When Fang Wu heard this, he looked at the people following him in surprise. Tan Sihan's subordinates, as well as Zhang Xuan and Bai An were all there, but Mu Qing was the only one missing.
She didn't even know why the other party left,
"I, I don't know." Fang Wu looked at Zhou She and didn't know how to answer, and there was a trace of worry in his eyes.
They went out together, but why...
But Zhou She shook his head: "Don't worry, he won't have any problems, maybe something happened at odd hours."
Fang Wu still had some concerns after hearing this, but when he saw Zhou She sitting there carefree, looking like he didn't care much, he didn't ask any more questions.
I just feel a little unhappy in my heart.
"I think this matter still lies with Ren Ye and Zhu Sanping."
At this time Ji Xuan spoke, his eyes were a little bright, as if he had opened up the two channels of Ren and Du at a certain moment.
Fang Wu asked: "Zhu Sanping? Master, has he seen this person?"
She didn't quite understand why Ji Xuan paid attention to Zhu Sanping. After all, Ji Xuan didn't know what happened to Zhu Lan today.
Ji Xuan shook her head, "No."
"We discovered that these officials went to Zhu's Mansion at midnight yesterday. However, Zhu Sanping did not go to the Yamen today to run errands as usual," Wang Qi said.
"Yes. The reason why I say that the key lies with Ren Ye and Zhu Sanping is because they both have one characteristic."
Ji Xuan nodded and he followed.
After Ji Xuan said this, everyone was stunned, but nodded randomly.
Bai An was confused when he heard this, "What do you mean? Master, what are you going to say?"
"I remember what I said before. Ren Ye has been around His Royal Highness and His Royal Highness the Fourth, and he has personal relationships with officials from all over the Yamen."
Zhang Xuan explained.
Bai An nodded, but still looked at him with a confused look on his face. He was so naive. Combined with his body shape, it made people feel that he had well-developed limbs and a simple mind.
"But this Zhu Sanping is different. He has a casual acquaintance with almost every official, without exception. It's as if everyone is avoiding him, but suddenly..."
This time Zhang Xuan only said half of what he said before he looked at the latter seriously.
Bai An nodded slowly.
"Suddenly, we have a friendship. If something goes wrong, there must be a monster." Bai An followed.
Several people nodded.
"We have to find a way to meet this Zhu Sanping. By chance, we met Zhu Sanping's son..."
Then, Fang Wu recounted what happened when they were chased in the alley and climbed over the wall to see Zhu Lan.
Hearing this, Ji Xuan looked at Fang Wu up and down, and then moved her eyes away for a while.
Perhaps no one present noticed that those eyes were full of worry and distress.
"Master, where is Huang Zhong? I want to see him." Fang Wudao said.
Mu Qing asked the yamen to bring Huang Zhong back, but Ji Xuan didn't understand what was going on here yet, so she didn't know and just shook her head.
Zhou She said, "Come with me."
He probably knew where it was, and he was the only one who knew the ruined temple best. Those government officials who brought Huang Zhong back were just to hand him over to them.
Hearing this, everyone stood up one after another and followed Zhou She with a cheer.
"Are your feet feeling better?" Ji Xuan asked in a low voice, and as he spoke, he carefully watched Fang Wu's steps.
A pair of hands hung in the air, trying to help Fang Wu, but they did not fall on her.
However, Fang Wu didn't notice Ji Xuan's discomfort. He just responded to Ji Xuan's question, shook the soles of his feet, tapped the ground and said, "Master, you see, it's much better. It basically doesn't hurt anymore."
She felt Ji Xuan's worry, and at that moment, she felt that all the fatigue from today had disappeared.
Ji Xuan looked at it carefully, nodded and said: "That's good, you must be careful."
The two people talking were not very big, following the crowd from a distance, and did not receive too much attention.
This also made Ji Xuan's words more pure and caring, and less of the usual laziness.
"Go back and put the medicine back on so you don't have to..."
Fang Wu listened to each sentence and quickly interrupted: "Oh, I know, master, why are you acting like a little old man? You are so nagging."
As she spoke, she walked a few steps faster, but even she didn't notice that there were bumps under her feet, and she almost fell to the ground.
Fortunately, Ji Xuan grabbed a handful and pulled the person to stand still, "What did I just say?"
After Fang Wu stood firm, she subconsciously looked at the ground. It turned out that she tripped over a small stone. She blushed and looked at Ji Xuan.
"careful."
However, Ji Xuan didn't say anything, she just told her again,
Fang Wu nodded quickly, carefully supported by Jixuan, and continued to the darkest part of the ruined temple...
Their destination is the end of the ruined temple,
It is in tatters, with uneven red walls and bricks, overgrown trees and weeds, and water on the ground left by previous rains.
There were also many dry wells with collapsed well platforms. Zhou She led the way, while Ji Xuan supported Fang Wu and others and carefully walked behind.
There were two lines of footprints left wherever they went. There was high and thick soil on both sides of the footprints, but traces of people coming and going could be seen.
