Chapter 229 Investigating One by One
People came and went in front of the gate of the Yu mansion, and those who went in and out were all silent faces.

Yu He was brutally murdered, and his death was tragic. The neighbors heard about it, and it came from the miscellaneous servants in the backyard of the Yu Mansion, but no one in the neighborhood dared to speak out. They still dare not hang up the white tent.

In the restaurant closest to Yu's mansion, the business finally slowed down a little. The waiter was trotting to deliver things. After delivering a few stacks of side dishes, he filled the tables with rice wine with a large hot jug.

There was a guest calling him by the window. The waiter hung the wipes on his shoulders and greeted him. After a sudden pause, he turned his head to look at the position behind.

"Hey, why is it you again!" the waiter opened his mouth and said.

The little boy sitting there was dressed as a boy that day, but now looks like a girl. The reason why the waiter can recognize her at a glance is that this little boy is so impressive.She is snow-white and smooth, with delicate features, and a pair of dark and bright eyes, the expression in the pupils will never be forgotten after one glance. What's more, her fierce appearance on that day really doesn't match her age.

Xia Zhaoyi was looking at the gate of Yu Mansion outside, turned around when he heard the words, and smiled after seeing the waiter: "Good afternoon, little brother."

It is rare for someone to smile at the waiter like this. The little girl's smile dispelled most of the Gulu in the waiter's heart.

"Brother, bring me a few stacks of side dishes," the girl said, "Come as many as you like, the most expensive ones will do."

The waiter took a look at her. The thick and simple cotton shirts, the most common kind, are mostly from poor families who can barely afford food.

The waiter made a "cut" sound and said, "You can afford the most expensive one."

"If you can afford it, I can treat you to a meal by the way." The girl was still smiling.

The waiter also laughed, shook his head and said: "That's no need, you wait here, I'll come later."

After speaking, he took the flagon and went to other tables.

Xia Zhaoyi withdrew her gaze and looked at the gate of the Yu Mansion again. When she was talking just now, she saw two people entering from the corner of her eye. She vaguely remembered the clothes, but she didn't see the appearance, which was a pity.

Sure enough, the waiter brought the food quickly, as if he was really worried that the girl would not be able to pay the bill, so they all had the cheapest vegetarian dishes.

Xia Zhaoyi thanked her, picked up her chopsticks and wiped them with a handkerchief, and lowered her head to eat, but her eyes and attention were all outside. If someone appeared at the door, she would take a casual look.

She ate very slowly, and there was still more than half of the table's food left in half an hour after eating, but she didn't continue, checked out and left.

After coming out, Xia Zhaoyi changed into a boy's costume nearby, and went to the restaurant on the other side, which was also near the window. After calling for some food, she started to eat slowly, just like Xiancai.

Just like this, she lingered back and forth until the last restaurant closed, so she simply found an inn here to stay.

For the next few days, she stayed in the streets near the mansion. According to the funeral customs, Yu He's coffin should have been sent out of the city long ago, but it has not been done until now, and the gate of Yu's mansion has gradually closed, declining friends to visit .

Five days later, at night, the cold wind was strong, blowing along the windows along the street, the moonlight was hidden in the dark clouds, and there were only sporadic lights on the street.

At about three o'clock in the afternoon, a carriage came to the gate of Yu's mansion after a long silence.

The carriage drove across the long street, and the sound of the street wind howled, concealing the sound of the carriage.

The servant jumped out of the car, opened the curtain respectfully, and a middle-aged man in a cloak stepped out of the car.

The servant knocked on the door, and the man stood behind him, tall and burly, seven feet tall.

The side door opened, and the people inside came out to talk to them, then seemed to be frightened, and hurriedly welcomed the middle-aged man in.

Xia Zhaoyi lightly pinched his fingers, completely closed the window that was only a crack open, removed the sandbag on his leg, took the small oblique bag on the table, and turned to leave the inn.

The carriage was led in by the people of Yu's mansion, Xia Zhaoyi climbed over the high wall at the entrance of the alley, and the inside of Yu's mansion was also quiet, except for two white lights in the main hall in the distance.

The wind passed through the branches of the trees, whimpering like weeping, Xia Zhaoyi quietly walked towards the main hall, but when he was about to approach, he happened to find another uninvited guest.

Xia Zhaoyi hurriedly hid in the dark, her petite figure was really good for hiding.

The man was dressed in night clothes, Xia Zhaoyi would not have noticed him at all if it hadn't been for a branch in the distance bouncing too hard.

He was also heading towards the main hall, he was a man of medium height, he moved very quickly, and his skill over walls was no less than hers.

He climbed onto the roof of the main hall, and lay there motionless, completely blending into the night.

Xia Zhaoyi frowned slightly, and leaned against the corner of the wall, it was not easy.

The wind was getting stronger and stronger, and it was as cold as the bone. The man just listened like that, and he really didn't move at all. This endurance is really amazing.

After a long time, the visiting middle-aged man finally came out from the main hall. After he strode away, the people on the roof finally reacted, got up and ran towards the corner of the other side of the roof.

Xia Zhaoyi moved his frozen ankle and chased after him.

Compared to her having been in the cold wind for so long, the other party was worse, because the wind he blew was stronger and he maintained the same posture for a long time, so Xia Zhaoyi didn't have much trouble keeping up with him.

The man left Yufu and headed north.

When Xia Zhaoyi heard the sound of the carriage, she seemed to be heading towards the southeast. She turned her head to look in that direction, her eyebrows were lightly drawn together, and after thinking about it, she finally decided to follow this man.

During this period of time, she has been staying here, not only to wait for the carriage, but also to connect the faces of future visitors to the mansion with the medicinal material merchants she had inquired about earlier.

The list that Lin Qingfeng provided her has really helped her a lot. So far, she has been able to match up many people, and she will investigate these people one by one.

Of course, she definitely didn't come here specifically to investigate Lin Qingfeng's medicinal materials. It's not her turn to care about those things. She came here because she found out one of the "evidences" that Xia's family was convicted of, which was also given to the military camp. related to medicine.

There are only a dozen big medicine merchants in the capital that can communicate with the military camp. Among them, Yu He is the fastest-growing and most high-profile, and he is also involved with Quan Jiuwei, and has been sending people to monitor All nine dimensions.

Moreover, the matter about Yu Hefa is itself weird and inexplicable.

Yu He and Tang Chengye had a bad relationship. Tang Chengye was a big drug dealer, and his mountain of medicine was a mountain of gold and silver. It was impossible for him to be so poor that he would sell his mansion and sell it to Yu He. The biggest and most straightforward reason could only be Yu He. He used Tang Chengye's wealth and life and the whole family to threaten him, or, Yu He got a big backer.

　The dog is really difficult to deal with. The big dog bullies the little dog. I help the little dog. The big dog has opinions on me. The little dog has been bullied. It hides from everyone, including me. In the end, I became a complete All dogs hate it, _(:з」∠)_
