The few people immediately knelt down and said, "I am guilty."
Zhou Chengyin frowned: "Hmm?"
"Those people were elusive and fled very quickly, and they were waiting in Huai'an City to circle with their subordinates. We followed them for half an hour, but still--"
Another man had already bowed his head and said, "I am incompetent!"
Zhou Chengyin's face turned pale and she stared at them fiercely.
Originally, this incident was at the entrance of the government office, which had already made him lose face, especially in front of Pei Yuanxiu and Xie Feng, he boasted that he would make Wen Fengxi's people come and go without a reply, but now he was like slapping himself in the mouth. He pointed to the two guards and said angrily: "Useless things, come, give them to me-"
Before he could finish his words, one of the guards raised his head and said, "But we discovered something."
"Um?"
Zhou Chengyin immediately stopped and looked at them: "What's the matter?"
The two guards looked at each other, and one of them said carefully: "The place where those people finally disappeared... is at the back door of the government office."
"What?!"
When Zhou Chengyin heard this, she was shocked.
Pei Yuanxiu also frowned and stepped forward: "You mean-"
The guard hurriedly said, "I'm not wrong with me. Those people should have disappeared near the government office. It's very likely that they are--"
Speaking of this, he didn't dare to say anything further.
The people who killed people at the government office took them to a few big circles in Huai'an City, but finally disappeared from the back door of the government office. Anyone could think of the problem.
The one who kills people is the person who lives in Huai'an Mansion!
No wonder these two people couldn't catch up with the murderer, but they came here to report their duties in a swagger, because this matter obviously involved some people they could not touch, so they threw the problem to Zhou Chengyin.
Zhou Chengyin was probably a little confused this time. She blinked her eyes and slowly looked at the people in the room.
Of course, there are more than those who live in Huai'an Prefecture, but those who are capable are probably the people in this room.
At this moment, the atmosphere fell into a slight depression. Another person walked in outside. When his petite body walked in, it seemed that the chill outside was also brought in, which shocked everyone slightly.
It was Hua Zhu. As soon as she stepped into the door, she immediately bowed her head and bowed to Pei Yuanxiu and Xie Feng: "Young Master, Master."
When Xie Feng saw her, he said, "Why are you here?"
Hua Zhu said: "The disciple did not protect Miss Yan. The murderers killed people at the government office, and the disciples were unable to arrive in time. The disciples were incompetent."
Xie Feng said coldly: "These things will be calculated clearly by your teacher."
Hua Zhu said: "The disciple wanted to make the merits worthy, so just now, the disciple went to check the bodies of the people who were killed at the government office."
Xie Feng frowned.
If nothing was discovered, Hua Zhu certainly would not come in for no reason to report.
He asked immediately, "What did you find?"
Hua Zhu said: "Those people were wearing exactly the same clothes, the materials and materials were exactly the same, and even the weapons they used were unified."
Xie Feng said: "Oh, it seems that it is not those mobs in Huai'an City."
After hearing this, Zhou Chengyin nodded.
Those mobs have long been unable to fill their stomachs and their clothes are not covered. In the past two days, I saw that the clothes they were wearing were not neat, and some were ragged like beggars. Needless to say, especially when I followed Xiao Zhong and the others to the south gate, I saw that the weapons in their hands even had axes and wooden sticks. Where did the same weapon come from?
Hua Zhu said: "So my disciples guess that they should be unified and belong to the same force."
"This is possible."
"Then the disciple found this in one of them."
As she said, she took out something from her sleeve and put her hands in front of Xie Feng.
Xie Feng took it and frowned, and Zhou Chengyin also walked over: "What is it?"
I sat at the head of the bed and looked at it from a distance. The blue-gray board in his hand looked like a token or something.
Token!?
My heart suddenly moved.
At this time, Pei Yuanxiu also walked over. Xie Feng glanced at him and couldn't tell the difference, so he handed the token to his hands.
When Pei Yuanxiu saw the sign in his hand, his face immediately darkened.
Everyone in the room was looking at him. When they saw that he had changed his face, they immediately understood that something was wrong. Xie Feng hurriedly asked, "Young Master, what's wrong with this token?"
Pei Yuanxiu tried his best to hold the token firmly in his hand.
He spoke, and said in a low voice: "You all go out first."
“…”
The people around were shocked. For some reason, the servants retreated first. Xie Feng and Zhou Chengyin looked at each other, but the two obviously had already felt something. Xie Feng immediately took Hua Zhu out of the door, and Zhou Chengyin waved to Mrs. Zhou, who was still with me here: "Hurry!"
"oh oh."
Mrs. Zhou nodded quickly, and she didn't even have time to say goodbye to me, so she hurriedly lifted the curtain and walked out. Perhaps because she was walking too fast, no one could care about closing the door.
It was a strong wind in the middle of the night, and gusts of cold wind poured in from outside, causing the door to constantly hit the walls on both sides, making a clanging sound.
In the room, there was only one person left except Pei Yuanxiu and me.
It was Han Ruoshi who had been silent since the beginning and had never spoken, and no one had even noticed her existence. But just now, the moment when Hua Zhu took out the token, I immediately looked at her and saw her standing in the corner, her face suddenly became as pale as the wall behind her.
It seems that all the temperature has been lost.
Pei Yuanxiu was holding the token, and because of his too hard work, his knuckles were all white.
He slowly raised his head and did not immediately look at Han Ruoshi who seemed to have lost his reaction, but said to me: "Qingying, you can take a rest after you take the medicine. I have something to do with-"
Before he could finish his words, I interrupted him lightly: "Is there anything wrong? Is it okay to just explain it clearly here?"
“…”
"Or something else needs to be hidden from me?"
“…”
"The person who searched for me was targeting me. Shouldn't I let me know what this token is going on?"
“…”
"Or-"
