Daxuanti criminal officer

Chapter 89
On the same day, Xu Zun woke up from the big bed in the inn.

He was about to stretch fiercely, but when he opened his eyes, he saw Huo Anu and Zhao Yu staring at him with big eyes.

"Oh, I'm going!"

Xu Zun was startled, and quickly covered his chest.

"Can you really fall asleep?"

Huo Anu's eyes were bloodshot, and he looked surprised.

"Yeah," Zhao Yu hugged his shoulders in disbelief, "Does Master Xu have a plan, or is he a broken pot?"

"Huh? What time is it?"

Xu Zun looked at his wrist subconsciously, and finally woke up after seeing that there was no watch on his wrist.

"It's the hour of the unitary hour now," Zhao Yu said anxiously, "It's less than an hour before your bet with Lord Hou, you...you can really sleep!"

"Nonsense!" Xu Zun shouted, "I'm not a night owl, I didn't sleep last night, how can I do it if I don't catch up on sleep?"

"But..." Huo Anu wanted to say something, but Xu Zun had already sat up from the bed.

Because Xu Zun's clothes were relatively simple, Huo Anu frowned slightly.

"Come," Xu Zun put on his clothes and said to the two of them, "come with me! The time to witness the miracle is coming soon!"

"My lord," Huo Anu and Zhao Yu asked together, "Where are we going?"

"Hou Mansion," Xu Zun said, "Since we have made an agreement with Lord Hou, we can't break the appointment! You don't know, the osmanthus cake in Hou Mansion is delicious..."

……

The Hou's Mansion is very close, and Xu Zun and the others arrived at the Hou's Mansion in less than a stick of incense.

The sky was dark, but the lamps were already lit in the Hou Mansion.

Since Xu Zun had been kept under surveillance, when Xu Zun and the others arrived, the butler of the Hou Mansion was already waiting at the door.

"Xu Tixing," the butler clasped his fists at Xu Zun and said in his shrill voice, "Please follow me into the residence!"

"There is work, there is work, hehe..."

Xu Zun also clasped his fists in return, but when the steward turned around, he grabbed Zhao Yu's collar, pulled Zhao Yu to his face, and whispered:

"Zhao Yu, after everyone is here, pretend to report something to me, and then whisper a few words to me in front of everyone!"

"What?" Zhao Yu was confused, "I... what did I whisper?"

"You can say whatever you want," Xu Zun asked, "Do you understand?"

"Whatever...whatever..."

Zhao Yu was still in a mess, but Xu Zun had followed the housekeeper into the Hou's residence.

The butler brought Xu Zun to the magnificent reception hall of the Hou Mansion, but saw Li Yan, Tai Min, Yuan Xingtai and other officials drinking tea inside!

Obviously, everyone wanted to come over and see if this Xu Zun and Xu Tixing could get Miss Hou Fu back?
"Hello, my lords..."

Xu Zun didn't dare to be negligent, he followed the etiquette of the ancients, and greeted all the adults one by one.

And just after saying hello, the Marquis of Changping, Lu Jinlong, brought Wei Bei, the guard, back into the hall.

"Xu Tixing," Lu Jinlong quickly walked in front of Xu Zun, and asked eagerly, "What's the matter, Xu Shi will be here soon, is there anything you can do?"

"Master Hou, don't worry, I have roughly grasped the news," Xu Zun said, "It is estimated that there will be a result soon!"

As he spoke, he glanced at the door.

This……

Zhao Yu knew that this was a signal from Xu Zun, so he gritted his teeth and ran into the hall with his head down.

Because of the panic in his heart, this guy actually stumbled and almost tripped himself.

"My lord...Master Xu..."

Zhao Yu's voice almost became the same as that of the butler, he ran in in a panic, and then pressed his face to Xu Zun's ear.

"My lord, what the hell am I talking about..." Zhao Yu blushed with anxiety.

"Ah!!? What!!!?"

Unexpectedly, when Xu Zun heard it, his hair stood on end as if struck by lightning.

"Zhao Yu! What are you talking about? Miss Lu is dead!? You have already found Miss Lu's body!!?"

i wipe...

Zhao Yu was dumbfounded, his knees softened, and he immediately knelt down.

In the next second, he scolded the street in his heart: Damn, you are a bear, Mr. Xu, if you don't play like this, you will die!

"Just... in Qinglan Academy!!?" Xu Zun continued his performance, "You can't make a mistake, right?"

As he said that, Xu Zun grabbed Zhao Yu's collar maniacally, and shook Zhao Yu's head violently, shaking Zhao Yu into a daze and smoking.

However, Zhao Yu and Xu Zun still had some kind of tacit understanding, and immediately nodded in mourning and said: "Thousand... It's absolutely true! Woooooo..."

what! ! ?
The chorus of the master and the servant stunned everyone in the audience.

Hou Ye staggered and almost fell, but fortunately Wei Beihui helped him.

Li Yan and the others also stood up, scratching their heads, at a loss.

"How could this happen!?" Xu Zun cursed, "You bastards! Come on, take us to see..."

"Yes... yes yes yes..." Zhao Yu was dumb and ate Coptis chinensis, so he could only continue this sudden performance.

But he was 1 worried in his heart. If he really arrived at Qinglan Academy and couldn't see the lady's body, how could we continue to act?
When the time comes, Master Hou may break our hearts.

Huo Anu went in without knowing, and immediately grabbed Zhao Yu's collar and asked loudly: "Zhao Yu, are you crazy? Where did you get the news? Just now, we didn't..."

Seeing that the situation was not good, Xu Zun immediately flew out, kicked Zhao Yu to the ground, and cursed loudly:

"How did I tell you guys? I'm still thinking about receiving the reward in front of Lord Hou! You bastards, go, quickly take us to have a look..."

As he spoke, he deliberately pushed Huo Anu aside, then pulled Zhao Yu and walked outside.

"Quick! Quick..." Li Yan jumped up and down anxiously, and immediately ran out following Xu Zun. Of course, he wanted to see for himself whether the news was true?
As soon as Li Yan moved, other officials were no exception.

"I...my daughter..." At this moment, Lord Hou was already pale and heartbroken, he suppressed his great sadness and hurriedly followed.

"Master Hou, Lord Hou..." Wei Beihui and the housekeeper were terrified, and hurriedly helped Master Hou left and right, and they also went out of the hall, and walked quickly towards the gate of the Hou Mansion...

Master Hou had left, so the servants in the hall couldn't stay where they were, and followed Master Hou.

In almost a moment, there were only a few maidservants left in the huge reception room.

Among them, Miss Lu's personal maid was included. She was also there when Miss disappeared and was beaten unconscious by the gangsters.

At this moment, when she suddenly heard that Miss Lu had been killed and her body was still in Qinglan Academy, the little maid was already trembling with fright.

Resisting her trembling body, she put the teapot in her arms on the tea table.

Then, while other people were not paying attention, he quickly slipped out through the back door of the living room and went straight to the back garden of Hou Mansion.

The little maid was apprehensive, her steps were chaotic, she stumbled and was caught by a tree branch after walking a short distance.

But she couldn't care less, after entering the back garden, she went straight into the rockery covered by the tree shadows.

This rockery has a huge area and is made of strange stones, and there are many short holes that can be passed through.

The little maid shuttled around in the short cave, and finally came to a sunken dark place in the cave.

Tuk Tuk Tuk…

The little maid knocked on the innermost stone a few times, but it made a strange wooden sound.

It turned out that those stones were all painted on wood, which turned out to be a small wooden door.

squeak...

Hearing a knock on the door, the wooden door opened from the inside.

"Ah?" The little maid turned pale with shock and asked, "Miss, is that you?"
