It was Jian Yu who reacted first: "Have you seen this person?"
Mi Zihan nodded slowly.
"Where?" Jian Yu suddenly felt that this was very strange. This is what Mi Ziyang looked like when he was eighteen years old. In other words, it is what he looks like now. Mi Zihan said he had seen it before, so it was recently.
Could it be that Mi Ziyang really lost his memory? He has not gone far and is still in the capital, but we have just met each other without knowing each other?
While Jian Yu and Bai Yue were making various speculations, Mi Zihan walked out quickly, saying loudly: "Shaohua."
Shaohua was dressed in black and didn't know where he was hiding. He shouted and appeared.
"Take someone with me." Mi Zihan said, "Go to Chen Nian's house on Xifu Road."
Shaohua responded immediately without asking why.
Mi Zihan paused and whispered again: "Watch the front and back doors of the house, especially the second aunt's yard. No one is allowed to enter or leave."
Shaohua was shocked by this sentence and couldn't help but ask: "Why?"
Mi Zihan didn't speak, but his expression was gloomy and scary.
Bai Yue looked at Mi Zihan hurriedly walking out and couldn't help but said: "What should we do? Are we going?"
Jian Yu pondered for a moment: "It stands to reason that family scandals should not be made public, so it would be inappropriate for us to follow him. But Mi Zihan is a little strange, so we should go and have a look. Don't let anything happen on impulse."
It's okay if they're not here. Since everyone in the Mi family knows that they are there, if something happens to Mi Zihan, it will inevitably arouse suspicion.
Bai Yue yawned and followed listlessly forward. In her past life, it was her fate to work overtime.
There is a curfew in the capital city at night, but when the Minister of Dali Temple and the Minister of Justice were walking down the street with their people, no one dared to stop them. Even the officers and soldiers on patrol at night would nervously come over to ask when they saw it.
Do you want assistance?
Mi Zihan waved them away, and the group soon arrived at a residence.
Bai Yue was not familiar with the capital, so he looked around and came to the conclusion that this place is good. Although it is not in the downtown area, it is clean and tidy, with courtyards next to each other. It is very spacious. People who can live here should be the same.
Well-off.
Mi Zihan stopped at the door of a certain house and ordered his men: "Guard the front and rear doors and the courtyard walls for me. Don't let a fly fly out. If anyone runs out, just break their legs."
None of his men knew what was going on, but Mi Zihan looked very scary, his face was so black that ink was dripping from his face, so he responded quickly and tightened his grip on the weapon in his hand.
Then Mi Zihan kicked open the solid door, making a loud bang in the silent night, making Bai Yue who was following behind tremble.
Normally everyone was asleep at this time, but the people in the room were awakened from their dreams. Not knowing what had happened, they hurriedly put on their clothes and opened the door and came out.
In front of him was a man in his forties, followed by a woman. Although he had just woken up from his dream, he immediately burst into laughter when he saw Mi Zihan standing in the middle of the yard.
"Young Master." The man trotted over quickly and said respectfully, "Why are you here at this time? Is there some official business..."
Mi Zihan stood in the middle, surrounded by several men holding torches, his expression gloomy in the flickering firelight.
The man muttered in his heart, but he couldn't figure out why. He was walking and talking. He just took two steps in front of Mi Zihan. Before he finished speaking, there was a sudden metallic sound, and Mi Zihan pulled out his sword.
against the man's chest.
The woman behind him was startled and sat down on the ground.
The man was also confused: "This, this..."
Mi Zihan's voice was as cold as ice: "I passed by last month and saw a young man in your yard. Where are the others?"
The man's face changed uncontrollably, and he stammered: "You, you said... Shitou... He, he is stupid... He has been sent back to his hometown."
Mi Zihan couldn't bear it anymore and kicked him far away.
The man fell to the ground, and he didn't know where he hit him. He screamed in pain, and before he could beg for mercy, he was stepped on by a foot on his back.
The man shouted repeatedly, and the woman rushed over, shouting, "Young master, you can't do this, what did Lao Chen do wrong? Did the second wife offend you..."
"Second wife?" Mi Zihan sneered and increased the pressure on her feet: "After tonight, she will no longer be the second wife."
It sounds like there is another story behind Mi Ziyang's disappearance. This family seems to be a relative of Aunt Mi's family.
Jian Yu couldn't get involved in this kind of thing, and Bai Yue couldn't even stand aside to listen. She looked around and suddenly tugged on Jian Yu's sleeve.
Jian Yu also held a torch, and when he saw Bai Yue dragging him, he followed him.
"There's something wrong here." Bai Yue walked to the side of the yard and squatted down.
There was a strong smell inside, which made people frown. Jian Yu held up a torch and took a look: "This is a livestock shed. Many people have it. This one is obviously in good condition."
There were horses and sheep in the shed. Bai Yue pinched his nose: "I know, I mean this, look..."
The bottom of the livestock shed is made of red bricks, with wooden sticks in the middle, and a roof above it. It is no different from ordinary people's houses.
What Bai Yue wrapped up in a handkerchief was a bit of black solid matter. When Jian Yu frowned, she even took it under her nose and smelled it.
"This is medicine residue." Bai Yue said, "There's something wrong."
Jian Yu didn't turn around for a moment. There was something wrong with the medicine residue. The cattle, horses and sheep were also going to get sick.
"This is for people to drink, not for cows and horses. It is similar to what the doctor prescribed to me before." Bai Yue's face darkened: "Normally, after people boil medicine, they will pour the dregs outside, which means that the disease has been taken away.
Who would fall in his own home?"
A startled thought came to Jian Yu's mind, so he asked Bai Yue to step aside, raised his legs and kicked open the door of the livestock shed.
It was dirty and smelly inside, and the frightened animals kept screaming.
This movement shocked everyone in the yard. The man was probably injured and was lying on the ground unable to move. The woman was begging for mercy. When she saw this scene, her husband ignored it and suddenly stood up and ran over.
.
While running, he shouted: "Hey, what are you doing? You're going to scare the animals..."
But Jian Yu had already entered, and Bai Yue followed him in regardless of the filthiness. He looked around and pointed to a corner.
There was a wooden cubicle in the corner. The cubicle was only half a person's height. It was covered with straw and other random things. I didn't know what was locked, but I was startled. There was an indistinct whining sound coming from inside.
Mi Zihan also looked over, and in the dim light, Jian Yu waved to him, obviously noticing something.
Mi Zihan suddenly had a complicated thought. He had never been so eager to see it, and he had never been so afraid of it. He walked over step by step, looking at Bai Yue's pity and heavy expression in the shed, his heart felt like it was falling into an ice cellar.
