"Yes," Zhao Yu reported to Xu Zun, who had just arrived, "the only ones missing are the four members of Changping Hou's family and the housekeeper!"
"Yes," Xu Zun nodded, "I just came from the city gate to report that Changping Hou's family left the city through the west gate late at night. Shen Xinglian has already sent people to chase them!"
In addition to a daughter, Lu Mingyue, Changping Marquis Lu Jinlong also had a 7-year-old son, Lu Mingyang.
"That's true," Zhao Yu smacked his lips, "If Marquis Changping wants to leave the city, which of the city defenders would dare to stop him? I'm afraid the Qinglan Temple Master is also with them, right?"
"Old Zhao," Xu Zun asked, "What about the other people in the Hou Mansion?"
"The others have basically been captured," Zhao Yu pointed to the distance, "There are forty-five people in total, all of them are guards and servants of the Hou Mansion, and... they were all captured while sleeping, so
…”
Xu Zun understood that since he was captured while sleeping, it meant that the people in the Hou Mansion did not know about it, and I was afraid that he would not be able to get any useful information out of their mouths.
"Sir," Zhao Yu asked, "so, Marquis Changping is also a participant. On the surface, he and his mother don't get along, but in fact they just cover up and collude secretly..."
Listening to Zhao Yu's words, Xu Zun was worried about someone, his god-sister Lu Mingyue.
He knew that Lu Mingyue had absolutely no knowledge, otherwise, she would not have been able to stage the kidnapping on her own.
But the more this happened, the more Xu Zun became worried about her safety.
Because, if we trace back to the root cause, Lu Mingyue is undoubtedly the culprit who exposed and destroyed Qinglan Temple. If she hadn't insisted on finding Lu Xiaofeng's whereabouts, she would not have caused this disturbance...
Therefore, Xu Zun was worried that Temple Master Qinglan and others would be angry with her and be detrimental to Lu Mingyue.
However, Shangyuan City is connected in all directions. Since Changping Marquis must be prepared when leaving the city, it may be difficult to capture him!
Xu Zun had been entangled before. When he realized that there was a problem with Marquis Changping, he also thought of playing it safe.
But in the end, he decided to find out the truth!
The whereabouts of those dozen missing girls should not remain unknown.
Next, Xu Zun went to Lu Mingyue's room to check, hoping that Lu Mingyue could leave him some information.
But when I walked in, there was no change except that the bed was a little messy.
It can be seen that Lu Mingyue was also called out in the middle of the night and then taken away.
"By the way," seeing this, Xu Zun remembered something important and asked Zhao Yu, "Where is Lu Xiaofeng? Where is she?"
"This..." Zhao Yu's expression changed and he said regretfully, "The body was found from the flower pond behind!"
"Ah?" Xu Zun's heart tightened, "She's dead?"
"She was strangled to death," Zhao Yu said helplessly, "I guess Miss Lu didn't protect her!"
"Poor girl," Xu Zun felt very sorry, "just because she was born too perfect, she suffered an unreasonable disaster!"
"Yes, these onlookers are idle too!" Zhao Yu said angrily, "They knew that Lu Xiaofeng was Miss Lu's best friend and she was in Shangyuan City, so why did they kidnap her?
"If Lu Xiaofeng had not been kidnapped, wouldn't everyone know the secret of Qinglan Temple?"
"You are right," Xu Zun said, "The risk of kidnapping Lu Xiaofeng is indeed very high, but not only did they kidnap, but they also killed Lu Xiaofeng's family. There may be other reasons for this!"
"Other reasons?" Zhao Yu frowned, "Is it related to the Lu Family Bookstore?"
"Let's write this down first," Xu Zun said. "After I resolve other matters, I will have to study it carefully. Maybe there is an important hidden secret in this!
"Old Zhao," he looked around and said to Zhao Yu, "you have to go do something now and go to the Yuntong Inn outside the north gate!"
"What?" Zhao Yu wondered, "Outside the north gate, Yuntong Inn? Why?"
"Do you still remember that there was a girl named Lin Na in Qinglan Academy?" Xu Zun said, "Back in Shangyuan County, the girl once said that Yuntong Inn was opened by their family.
"The shopkeeper Qian of Yuntong Inn said that he once saw Lu Xiaofeng's family passing in front of the inn one morning?"
"Oh..." Zhao Yu scratched his head, "That seems to be the case."
"But Lu Xiaofeng's family was clearly murdered at home," Xu Zun said, "Now, do you know what I want you to do?"
"Yes, I understand!" Zhao Yu nodded, "This person lied and might have been bribed by someone else. I want to know who bribed him!"
"But he himself is a shopkeeper who is not short of money," Xu Zun waved his hand. "Rather than buying it off, it is more like being instigated by others or accepting instructions!"
"Wow!" Zhao Yu suddenly realized that this matter was of great importance, "Is it possible that this shopkeeper Qian is also one of theirs?
"Okay!" He raised his saber, "I know what to do!"
After saying that, Zhao Yu went out to call someone.
"Hey? Old Zhao," Xu Zun stopped him and asked, "Do you have something else to say to me?"
"What?" Zhao Yu was stunned. After seeing Xu Zun's serious expression, he smiled and said, "I'm sorry, sir, I didn't want to deliberately hide my strength. It's really embarrassing to tell it, so..."
"Who is Zhao Shengong from Liaozhou?" Xu Zun asked.
"Ah? No way?" Zhao Yu was surprised, "Haven't you heard of Zhao Shengong? That's Zhao Shengong from Zhenyuan Escort Bureau!"
Xu Zun searched his mind and shook his head again.
"Sir, are you sure you are not joking?" Zhao Yu wiped his sweat, "The best escort agency in the world is the Zhenyuan Escort Agency! It is run by Zhao Shengong! Zhao Shengong is known as one of the top ten masters of Daxuan. People in the world give him a face and leave him alone.
You’ve never heard of being called the fourth best person in the world?”
"Wei Beihui is the fourth in Tangzhou, your old man... is the fourth in the world?" This time it was Xu Zun's turn to wipe his sweat, "What a coincidence!"
"You must not envy me!" Zhao Yu said with a smile on his face, "First of all, based on strength alone, my old man will definitely not be ranked in the top ten. It's just because he is older and has higher status, so people in the world give him face!
"Second, I am only the seventy-ninth son born to Zhao Shengong and his thirty-seventh wife. I guess he may have forgotten my name? Or maybe, he forgot more than just the name...
"
"..." Xu Zun was speechless and had to ask, "Then why did you come to Tangzhou?"
"Nine Wheels of Soul Knife is the sword technique passed down from the ancestors of the Zhao family. Here," Zhao Yu pulled out his saber and pointed at the blade and said, "The blade is equipped with nine rotating wheels made of meteorite iron. When the wheels rotate,
It will have unexpected effects, that’s why it’s called Nine Wheels Soul Knife!”
"Oh, then what?" Xu Zun asked.
"If this sword is perfected, it can break any weapon, and even people's hearts. It's so powerful that it's unbelievable!" Zhao Yu said clearly.
"But," Xu Zunze asked the key point, "what does it have to do with your coming to Tangzhou?"
"The knife was lost, so I must have stolen it!" Zhao Yu replied, "In order to prevent them from killing me, I ran to Tangzhou..."
"Old Zhao," Xu Zun smiled slightly, then suddenly changed his expression and said seriously, "We are all foxes for thousands of years, so don't pretend to be an old monster with me!
"You are the inner guard!!!
"Xinye County, when Cai Kun led people to arrest you, you had already revealed your identity. That's why I solved the fake Qiu Yongnian case so smoothly..."
