Daxuanti criminal officer

Chapter 75

"My lord," Zhao Yu timidly asked behind Xu Zun after Xu Zun finished asking, "Do you have any clues? If not, we will be ashamed today!"

"What's the hurry?" Xu Zun said, "I haven't finished asking! Just now I just asked my servant..."

"Ah?" Zhao Yu's cheeks were sweating, "Are you going to ask the Master later? Do you even want to ask the Marquis?"

"That's right," Xu Zun said, "Now it seems that Miss Hou's disappearance case is getting more and more wrong. How can I just ask these servants?"

"Ah?" Zhao Yu was surprised again, "Is there anything wrong with the disappearance case?"

"Before..." Xu Zun said his own analysis, "The reason why I insisted on going to the Hou's mansion to investigate and made such a statement was just to try it out.

"If we are shut out in the end, it means that the Hou Mansion may have received news from the kidnappers and is planning to make a deal with them secretly.

"Unexpectedly, they let us in... This is just..."

"Then it's not kidnapping?" Zhao Yu was also curious, "Since it's not kidnapping, then it's not for money. If it's not for money, what else could it be? Revenge, feelings?
"Oh..." He guessed what Xu Zun was thinking, "Are you suspecting that Miss Lu was kidnapped because of her relationship?"

"Not necessarily," Xu Zun said, "Besides these two conjectures, there are several possibilities, but those are the last ones we want to see!"

"Ah? What else is possible?" Zhao Yu asked.

"Political struggle, and..." Xu Zun said, "Pervert killer..."

Unexpectedly, as if it had come true, just as Xu Zun finished saying this, a person rushed in from outside.

"My lords, Mr. Wei invites the two of you to speak in the front hall." It was the previous manager who spoke, but seeing him flustered and trembling, "The situation is urgent, please hurry up..."

Oops!

Xu Zun suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart.

The two immediately followed the steward through the garden and came to the front hall of the Hou Mansion.

But seeing the chaos in the front hall, the maids and servants were packing up the broken cups, their faces were like wax paper, they were silent like cicadas, and there was a mournful solemnity in the air.

"You guys hurry up and take care of Madam!" Seeing that Wei Beihui was instructing the servant, "Call the doctor over here, don't stand still!"

"Yes..." Several servants immediately bowed their heads and retreated quickly.

"Tianshi Wei," Zhao Yu hurriedly stepped forward to ask, "What happened? Why are you so nervous?"

"You two," Wei Beihui said solemnly, "Someone just came to report that a female corpse was found in Huguo Temple. She was wearing cassocks. She looked terribly dead, and depending on her age... oh..."

"what!?"

Xu Zun and Zhao Yu were shocked, they didn't expect the situation to be so sudden.

"Madam fainted when she heard the news, it's all my fault, I didn't let the reporter avoid it, alas!"

Wei Bei twirled the floating dust with a dejected and remorseful expression.

"Master, don't worry." Xu Zun's heart was fluctuating, but he still tried to persuade him calmly, "Now we can't be sure that the female corpse must be Miss Lu, what you hear is what you see is what you see!"

"I also understand," Wei Beihui said hastily, "I have ordered someone to prepare a fast horse, both of you, let's go and have a look together!?"

"Okay, this is inevitable! But..." Xu Zun paused and reminded, "Don't be too impatient, Tianshi, if the female corpse is really a young lady, it means that the villain may be targeting the Hou's mansion, so..."

"Oh..." Wei Beihui shuddered, and suddenly realized, "Master Xu is right! If this is the case, then I can't leave the Hou's mansion easily, and don't fall into the tricks of the villains!"

"Tianshi," said Xu Zun, clasping his fists together, "the two of us will investigate the situation first, and if we have any news, we will send someone back to report."

"That's fine, that's fine," Wei Bei nodded back, and said to his subordinates, "You guys will go with the two adults, and report back as soon as there is any news!"

"Yes!"

Immediately, four guards agreed, seeing that their eyes were like lightning and their movements were agile, they must be masters.

Xu Zun understood that Wei Beihui was really experienced, and he sent four subordinates to follow him, obviously he couldn't trust Xu Zun and them.

After all, they came to the government to investigate with just a piece of official document, who can guarantee that the two of them are genuine?

……

drive……

Xu Zun had never ridden a horse before, but because of the host's own skills, he rode very smoothly now.

Especially after leaving the city, they rode fast and galloped all the way west.

"My lord," one of the guards immediately introduced to Xu Zun, "This Huguo Temple has been abandoned for decades! It is located in the plum blossom forest in the western suburbs of the city. Residents seldom go to that place..."

"Ominous omen?" Xu Zun asked, "What ominous omen?"

"Actually, we don't know," the guard said. "It's probably just a rumor, right? It's said that whoever goes there will have bad luck. To put it bluntly, it's just a gimmick for the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism!"

Daxuan worships Taoism, and Tangzhou worships Buddha.

Therefore, when there is a conflict between the two, there will be a lot of belittling and false rumors by philistines.

In those small places in Xinye County, the old habits are still maintained, but in the developed city of Shangyuan City, they have been gradually naturalized by the imperial court.

Therefore, there are more and more Taoist temples in Shangyuan City, but there are only a handful of temples.

"Oh my God, how can we catch up with everything?" Zhao Yu on the other side still looked bitter and bitter, "The female corpse in cassock? We just experienced lying in bed in Xinye County. The Taoist priest in the iron coffin, alas, God bless, God bless, but it must not be Miss Lu..."

In less than half an hour, Xu Zun and others had arrived at the Plum Blossom Forest.

However, most of the plum trees are dead, and there is no scene of plum blossoms blooming, but it makes the scene even more desolate and dilapidated.

"Call..."

Not long after they rushed into Merlin, they saw a large group of people appearing in front of them!

Among them are officials in official suits, officers and soldiers in armor, as well as arresters, yamen servants and other people of all kinds.

Seeing Xu Zun and others, a group of soldiers immediately stepped forward to stop them.

However, before the soldiers could speak, someone in the crowd recognized the guards of the Hou Mansion.

After a briefing from both parties, the soldiers let Xu Zun and the others in.

The broken bricks and tiles in front of me, the broken walls and ruins, really is an abandoned temple.

The monastery is really dilapidated, except for a few pagodas, there are almost no complete buildings.

After Xu Zun and the others entered, another group of people came face to face from the depths of the temple.

This time, Xu Zun finally saw acquaintances, including Li Yan, governor of Tangzhou, Tai Min, governor of Shangyuan County, and the third son of the Shen family, Shen Xinglian, captain of Jingwu school...

However, none of these high-ranking officials are in the C position. In the position where the stars are holding the moon, there is a middle-aged man wearing an indigo robe and a silver crown inlaid with jade.

Needless to say, this person must be that Changping Marquis Lu Jinlong!

With just one glance, Xu Zun caught a major discovery, but there was no sorrow on the face of this Lord Hou who had just walked out of the temple, but his eyebrows were still tightly locked and his expression was dignified.

Oh?
Xu Zun breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that the female corpse inside is not Miss Lu anymore?
