The Red Chamber: My Stunning Confidante with a Variety of Styles
Chapter 228 Intricate
Jia Jue followed the footprints to the lake, and looked at the sparkling water, he pondered.
"That person left by boat?" Ji Yun came to Jia Jue and asked.
Jia Jue shook his head: "It should have boarded the boat, but it may not have left. There is no trace on the other side of the lake."
Ji Yunxiu frowned slightly: "You mean 'flower boat'?"
Flower boat is another name for boat prostitutes in this era, and the painted boats on the lake are their residences.
Jia Jue looked at the several painting boats on the lake, and nodded slightly: "Probably so."
"Then what are we waiting for, capture those girls and compare their footprints one by one." Ji Yun said hastily.
Jia Jue shook his head: "I'm afraid it's not that simple."
"Why?" Ji Yun was puzzled.
"Look at the footprints, not only are they shallow, but they are also very far apart. I think that person must have good kung fu. If he acts rashly, he may startle the enemy and get nothing," Jia Jue said.
Ji Yun quickly compared the footprints, and then took a step forward, but found that the distance between herself was larger than the footprints.
"Ha, see. Even if she has kung fu, she is by no means a match for this girl!" Ji Yun laughed.
Jia Jue couldn't help laughing and said, "It turns out that when you compete in kung fu, you are the one with the faster pace."
Ji Yun blushed slightly: "Of course not, but I'm the worst in lightness. She can't even compare to me, so how can she be my opponent?"
"Yes. You are right." Jia Jue smiled, turned and left.
"Hey! I'm not bragging, I'm really better than her. Where are you going?" Ji Yun hurriedly caught up with him and asked.
"Of course I went back home to rest."
Ji Yun was taken aback: "I'm going back now? But what should she do if she runs away?"
Jia Jue shook her head: "She can't run away, the third division will definitely lock up the whole city, and those who move furtively will definitely not be able to escape interrogation. She can only stay on top of this painting boat to be the safest."
"So that's the case." Ji Yun thought for a while, and then asked, "Then why didn't we know that Hui Sansi and brother surrounded Mochou Lake and captured her in one fell swoop?"
"At this moment, the clues are not clear enough to convict her. Firstly, secondly, if this person is just a pawn, so laborious and motivating, it is regarded as taking her, so what?"
Ji Yun was stunned, and then looked at him with complicated eyes: "In front of you, I seem to be a fool."
Jia Jue couldn't help laughing when she heard the words: "Where is the girl, you can actually think of these truths, but you are not used to thinking about them."
"No wonder my brother is willing to get close to you, what you said makes people feel at ease." Ji Yun muttered.
Jia Jue smiled, but didn't answer.
"Then what will happen to me after tomorrow?" Ji Yun asked again.
Jia Jue looked at her and smiled mysteriously: "Do something that men love."
Ji Yun frowned.
Just when she was about to ask, she saw that Jia Jue was already on the horse.
She quickly chased after him:
"Go behind, this girl wants to be in front."
……
Back in time a little bit, on a painting boat in Mochou Lake.
"My lord, Tang Zexiong is dead." A figure bowed and said to a beautiful woman.
The beautiful woman's expression changed, and she quickly asked: "Do you understand? So Tang Zexiong is really dead?"
"Don't worry, my lord. This subordinate poured kerosene on Tang Zexiong's room with his own hands. After the fire broke out, he didn't come out of the room. After watching the fire with his own eyes, the guards carried out a charred corpse from the room." .”
The beautiful woman frowned slightly after hearing the words: "This is a strange thing, as the young master of the family, he died so easily, why didn't Liu Sheng save him?"
"Maybe it's because the fire is too big for him to rescue, or maybe he's not in Honglu Temple."
The beautiful woman nodded slowly: "That's probably the case. No matter what, once Tang Zexiong dies, this marriage may be unsustainable."
"My lord, Tang Zexiong's death, I think the court will not let it go, this subordinate is willing to escort you out of the city."
The beautiful woman shook her head: "It's okay, it's too risky to leave at this time, it's better to stay here. I've been running flower boats for many years, and no one will notice. This kind of fireworks place is the best cover."
The man nodded.
"Are your hands and feet clean?" the beautiful woman asked.
"Don't worry, my lord, the subordinates are cautious and have not been seen by anyone."
"Okay! In this way, we just need to hide our identity and wait and see what happens."
"My lord, my subordinates have received news that Princess Qiuzi is near to the left, and she will arrive in the capital in a few days," said the man.
The beautiful woman was slightly surprised: "It came so fast."
"As soon as Tang Zexiong took action, His Highness responded immediately, and sent Princess Qiuzi to the capital in the name of traveling. If he can marry the Han royal family, it will buy His Highness a lot of time and stabilize the domestic situation."
The beautiful woman sighed: "His Royal Highness is indeed a wise man who planned strategies. On the one hand, he eliminated Tang Zexiong to destroy their plans, and on the other hand, he imitated them and made good Han people. How can the second prince be undefeated?"
"Yes! His Highness the Third Prince will surely win!"
Afterwards, the two chatted for a few more words before the figure left.
Looking at her back, the beautiful woman's eyes flashed an extremely complicated look, and she murmured:
Is it the third prince again?
……
Inside Honglu Temple.
Ji Zhong and the others looked at a charred corpse, frowning tightly.
"My lords, this man suffered two sword wounds and one sword wound. The two sword wounds were on the shoulder and the lower leg respectively. They were not fatal. The fatal wound was a knife wound on the throat. The murderer was a master of the sword and killed him with one blow. It's not messy." An old clerk said to the crowd.
Ji Zhong rubbed his head: "So, he didn't die from the fire, but from a knife wound?"
"That's true." Wuzuo nodded.
"Can it be understood that this Tang Zexiong was besieged to death by two people, and then the murderer set fire to destroy the corpse?" An official from Dali Temple asked.
"It is possible. However, it is also possible that he was wounded by the sword first, and then died in a surprise attack. Or after being killed, he was vented with a sharp sword."
Ji Zhong rubbed his head in distress when he heard the words. Damn, there is no clue at all, but the case is getting more and more complicated.
He suddenly missed the case he had cooperated with Jia Jue before. He hardly did anything, and the case was closed in such a muddle.
It's not as troublesome as it is now.
And just when he was having a headache, several people in the crowd at the side were watching this scene with cold eyes, and one of them was the mysterious Liu Sheng.
He snorted coldly: "He really has a backhand."
The voice fell, but another voice sounded beside him:
"It doesn't matter, they only have one chance to make a move. Although Tang Zexiong died, it consumed their chance to make a move. In addition, his death can make the Han court feel sorry for me. After they can't find the murderer, I will show up." With Bai Ying's lobbying, this matter can be accomplished."
Liu Sheng said respectfully: "Your Highness has a wonderful plan, and my subordinates admire it."
"That person left by boat?" Ji Yun came to Jia Jue and asked.
Jia Jue shook his head: "It should have boarded the boat, but it may not have left. There is no trace on the other side of the lake."
Ji Yunxiu frowned slightly: "You mean 'flower boat'?"
