After the Fairy Disappeared

  He looked at He Lingchuan and said, "Do you think Wu Kai has been murdered by Cen Boqing and pretended to return to the north?"

  Wu Kai is Cen Boqing's black glove, and he is likely to be in charge of all matters such as killing demons and obtaining pearls. This person is living evidence. After Cen Boqing found out that he could not get away with the messenger case, would he directly destroy this witness?

"The possibility is very small." He Lingchuan had been considering this argument just now, "If Cen Boqing has killed Wu Kai, just find a reason at random, such as stepping on the lakeside, such as falling to his death, although it is unreliable, but people are If we are dead, what can you and I do? We can only admit that he is superior."

As soon as Snail Toad committed an attack in Chaohu Pagoda, He Lingchuan called Fu Shanyue to Baishayu, and at the same time asked Lu Dutong to besiege Cen's Mansion, just to hurry up and make Cen Boqing unable to react in time—Mr. Mai said he lacked quick wit, and He Lingchuan observed for many days , I thought the same, otherwise he would have married the eldest daughter of Bega Dasinong, and had accumulated a little military merit, so why couldn't he always be promoted to the military rank?

   Without the talent to act decisively, it is a shortcoming on the battlefield.

  If you let him go back and eat and drink and think about it for half the night, he might figure out the pros and cons of it, and kill Wu Kai in a flash of his heart.

   "So I tend to think that Wu Kai is still alive, and indeed he is no longer in the Cen residence."

   "Did Cen Boqing really send him to Lingxu City?" Fu Shanyue shook his head, "Time is so tight, so we have to go in two batches? Besides, Wu Kai rarely leaves Cen Boqing's side."

  He Lingchuan thought for a while: "I have another conjecture: Maybe Wu Kai escaped on his own, just when Lu Dutong led people to besiege Cen's mansion, and Cen Boqing was so busy that he was on his back!"

   "Escape..." Fu Shan wanted to laugh more, but the more he thought about it, the more plausible he felt, "Your idea, um, you mean, Wu Kai reacted earlier than Cen Boqing, and felt that his life was in danger, so he jumped over the wall and escaped?"

"When a catastrophe comes, husband and wife will have to work hard, let alone a pair of master and servant? We can no longer regard Cen Boqing and Wu Kai as a whole. If Wu Kai stays, he will either be silenced by Cen Boqing or arrested by us, whichever end will be the same." Not good, it’s better to just leave.” He Lingchuan analyzed, “Anyway, he also knows that the first criminal we want to arrest is Cen Boqing. He can learn from Mai Xuewen and fly away.”

  Fu Shanyue stroked his chin: "There is a way to prove it. Jiao Yu—"

  The fierce tiger got up and walked, wagging the tip of its tail.

  Fu Shanyue asked it: "You said earlier that Wu Kai's family is also in Baisha?"

  Wu Kai lost his son in middle age, but luckily his grandson has always been healthy. The daughter-in-law also brought her grandson to Baishahao this time. The mother and son are now renting a private house in Biandan Lane.

   This is the clue sent by Mai Xuewen yesterday. Jiao Yu heard it, and sent someone to follow it, before reporting it to the prince.

   "You lead people to protect them now." Fu Shan said with a smile, "In order not to be attacked by Cen Boqing first."

  He Lingchuan looked sideways. It's only been more than 20 days since we saw each other, Fu Shanyue's words became more artful, he clearly wanted to blackmail someone, but he said "protection".

   Tiger didn't say anything, turned around and walked out.

  Fu Shanyue then said to He Lingchuan seriously: "Even dare to swallow the inspector, the surname Mai is more courageous than you and me."

  It's just bigger than you, why take me? Before He Lingchuan finished complaining, Fu Shanyue continued: "Neither Zhongsun's family nor Dasinong will let it go, not to mention that this matter will probably alarm the emperor. We strive for a quick decision here, find all the evidence, and crucify Cen Boqing's crime Otherwise, Baisha will face the storm."

   Then he saw He Lingchuan reaching out to him: "Huh? What are you doing?"

   "The case has almost come to light. Shouldn't you give me what you promised?"

   "Hey, if Cen Boqing has not subdued the law, this case is not considered over!" Having said that, Fu Shanyue still took out a kit from his bosom and handed it to him, "Take it."

  He Lingchuan took it over and took a look. It turned out to be a storage bag with a space of seven or eight cubic meters, and the inside was empty, with only a few materials piled up in the corner.

  These are the materials He Lingchuan needs to upgrade the Golden Armored Bronze Man.

   Each weight is enough, even if the refining fails, he can do it again.

  Fu Shanyue is finally generous, he is no longer the prince who picks and searches on the way back to the capital. He Lingchuan counted it again and frowned: "One thing is missing... Where is the book explaining the pattern of the black flood dragon?"

  He agreed to investigate the case of the white-shouldered eagle messenger because he negotiated a condition with Fu Shanyue. In addition to upgrading the materials for the Golden Armored Bronze Man, Fu Shanyue also helped him find a banned book.

  The black dragon pattern appeared in that book.

   "The case is settled, and the book is yours." Fu Shanyue stretched and stood up, "I sneaked into the imperial study three or four times before finding it. You must be worthy of my hard work."

  He Lingchuan rolled his eyes, what the hell, wouldn't it be hard for him to handle this case?

   Almost gave up his life.

  …

   Baisha is not big, and Biandan Lane is also close. About three quarters of an hour later, the tiger came back.

   "No one was caught. Wu Kai's daughter-in-law and grandson have fled from Biandan Lane."

  Fu Shanyue wondered: "Didn't you send someone to follow you?"

   "I saw them walking around through the window before, and they were gone when we wanted to arrest them." Jiao Yu was also a little embarrassed, "So there is a secret door in that room, which leads directly to the rice shop next door."

   "No wonder Wu Kai wants to rent that house. Heh, it's a rent, maybe it's his property." Fu Shanyue sneered, "This man is really cautious."

   "Also, the room was cleaned extremely clean, and the medicine was fumigated, and there was not even a hair left."

   "They should leave the city as quickly as possible in less than two hours." Fu Shanyue then ordered Jiao Yu, "Lead people to search out from the west gate and north gate respectively, and at the same time send out eagle guards to watch out for pedestrians on the road."

  Eagle eyes are far sharper than human eyes, and can find prey from high altitudes.

"yes."

Jiao Yu turned around to leave, when the goshawk suddenly flew from outside and stopped on the big tree beside Fu Shanyue: "Your Highness, I wanted to go back with Lord Jiao, but before I left, I saw the private house that Wu Kai rented to his grandson. , entered again.”

   "Oh? Who?"

"I followed behind them and found that those two were the guards of the Cen Mansion." Although Lu Dutong led people to surround the Cen Mansion, the Cen Mansion was not a prison after all. The servants went in and out to buy vegetables and pour Yexiang, so there was no way to stop them all. Down. "The two of them didn't go back to Cen's mansion, but went to the second floor of the shop across the street, and took a mirror into Cen's mansion."

  Good guy, all the code words on the mirror surface have been sorted out. The more Fu Shan thought about it, he couldn't help laughing wildly: "Ahahahaha, Cen Boqing was swayed by his loyal old servant!"

"You're right, Wu Kai was not sent away by him, but absconded privately, otherwise why would Cen Boqing send someone to search for his grandson?" Fu Shanyue clicked his tongue twice, "No wonder when I was begging for Wu Kai at Cen's residence , Cen Boqing's face is so ugly. Not only can he not hand over to anyone, but he is also used as a shield by Wu Kai!"

   "We besieged Cen's mansion, and also stopped Cen Boqing from sending people to search for Wu Kai." He Lingchuan said flatly, "It can be said that we are also Wu Kai's shield."

   Fu Shanyue's laughter stopped abruptly.

   "If you don't tell the truth, you are still good friends."

   "Wu Kai also defended against Cen Boqing, which shows that the master and servant are not as trusting as they appear on the surface. This is good news." He Lingchuan knew that Fu Shanyue had no integrity, and he could do things like kidnapping his grandson. He didn't intend to intervene, but such a simple action dragged out a complicated follow-up, and instead he became interested, "The bad news is that Wu Kai and the others didn't flee in a hurry, and I'm afraid it's not that easy to arrest."

   "Why?" Fu Shan raised his eyebrows, "Is there still a way to escape calmly? Where do you see it?"

"Wu Kai didn't know that Mai Xuewen provided us with clues. In other words, he couldn't predict that you would hunt down his family, but he was already ready to send them away from Baisha." He Lingchuan explained, "He can By preparing a house with a secret door, of course, you can plan in advance the route and measures for your family to escape from Baisha. Oh, I am afraid that he has already arranged the available manpower, carriages and horses, not in a hurry. Like this premeditated, If you are prepared, it should not be called escape, but evacuation.”

   Now looking back at Wu Kai's attitude, it has already explained the problem.

   This old man is very confident.

   It's no wonder that he didn't let his daughter-in-law bring his grandson to live in Cen's mansion, but rented it outside. It turned out that he was ready to get out at any time.

  Fu Shan became more unconvinced: "If Wu Kai really knows how to plan ahead, why didn't he send his family away earlier? You and Cen Boqing fought against each other a few days ago."

  He Lingchuan said slowly: "It's not just us that he's guarding against."

   "It's not us?" Fu Shanyue is also a smart person, and after a little thought, he said, "You mean, he is still wary of Cen Boqing?"

"I'm afraid so. Facts have proved that he didn't make a mistake." He Lingchuan continued, "Cen Boqing knows that his daughter-in-law brought the children to play in Baisha. If the mother and son leave early suddenly, Cen Boqing will understand that Uncle Wu is also fond of him. Guard."

  Fu Shan became more playful: "This is really interesting for the master and servant. From this point of view, if Wu Kai fails to escape in time, would I have taken him into his arms by arresting him?"

"Otherwise, for his own safety, Cen Boqing might kill him as soon as he returns." He Lingchuan thought for a while, "He didn't do that before, which means that Wu Kai is very important or Cen Boqing has other concerns; but now that Zhong Sunmou is dead, everything is at stake. Developing in an unfavorable direction, he may not have taken care of so much."

He paused and continued: "Wu Kai has already fled, and Cen Boqing can't plead guilty. After a few days, the special envoy sent by Lingxu City will arrive, and things may change again. Just like you said just now, How could Da Sinong stand idly by while his son-in-law is in trouble?"

  Fu Shanyue crossed his arms: "According to what you say, I didn't make this trip for nothing?"

  The key to convicting Cen Boqing is Wu Kai's confession. Who doesn't know that Wu Kai is the confidant of Cen's father and son? Only if he confessed, Cen Boqing could not escape the law.

  But Wu Kai disappeared at this juncture.
