Seeing that Jin Zhong had made detailed arrangements, Han Changmu nodded with confidence: "Then the monitoring of the water area will be left to Commander Jin."
Yao Yao patted Jin Zhong's shoulder seriously twice: "Master Commander, we have a long way to go!"
Jin Zhong looked up and saw that Han Changmu had already walked to the front, and Leng Linjiang and Yao Yao followed one after another. He said "Hey": "What are you going to do?"
Leng Linjiang turned around and said, "Go and arrest someone."
Han Changmu walked in front and asked Yao Yao in a low voice: "Do you also think Sheng Siyuan is the most suspicious?"
Yao Yao's face was slightly cold, his voice was sharp, and a sneer escaped from his lips: "It's either him or Sheng Sijian. Anyway, the Sheng family has not escaped. The sons of the Sheng family are inseparable from these disappearances."
Leng Linjiang still found it unbelievable. The Sheng Siyuan he knew was gentle, polite, and considerate. He didn't look like someone who could do such a crazy thing.
He shook his head and sighed, and slowly exhaled a breath: "I'm not familiar with Sheng Sijian, but Sheng Siyuan," he paused, puzzled and said, "I've known him for many years, and I'm familiar with him. It is unimaginable that he would do such a thing."
"Knowing people, knowing faces, but not knowing hearts." Han Changmu said calmly with an expressionless face.
The people in Anninghou Mansion had just finished their lunch. Seeing Han Changmu and his party leaving and returning, they suddenly felt that all the lunch they had just eaten was stuck in their throats. They couldn't swallow it and couldn't spit it out. They were so choked that they almost lost their breath. .
It was the same study room where I had just asked the question. Marquis An Ning was even more uneasy than before, and he asked tremblingly: "I wonder what your lord is doing?"
Han Changmu Shen
He said: "There are some things that I need to ask the eldest son of your mansion, Sheng Siyuan."
"Go and ask the prince to come over." An Ninghou's heart skipped a beat and he ordered the housekeeper.
He kept beating the drum in his heart. The eldest son was already dead. If the second son was also dead, his concubines would be ineffective. The position of Prince An Ning might be taken away by other families.
The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became, and he forced a smile: "Sir, I don't know, I wonder what trouble Erlang got into?"
Han Changmu glanced at An Ning Hou lightly: "When I ask questions later, Lord Hou will naturally understand!"
"..." An Ninghou choked and was speechless.
Leng Linjiang and Yao Yao looked at each other, wanting to laugh but not daring to.
Within a moment, the housekeeper walked into the study in a hurry, with no one behind him.
"Where's the man? Where's Erlang?" An Ninghou was stunned.
The steward hesitated and said: "Second Young Master, I'm missing."
"What's going on!" An Ninghou's body swayed, his eyesight went dark, and he yelled furiously: "What do you mean someone is missing! Ah! How could he disappear in such a big place!"
"Tell me!" The housekeeper turned around and dragged the man who was hiding outside the door into the study. He kicked him to the ground and knelt down: "Tell me, where is the second young master?"
The person who was dragged into the study was Sheng Siyuan's servant. He found out that Sheng Siyuan was missing early in the morning. He didn't think much about it. It wasn't until people from the Internal Security Department came to the door that he realized that his son's disappearance was a big deal. A hole.
He knelt on the ground, shaking violently, tears streaming down his face.
"Tell me! Where did Erlang go! Tell me quickly! Where did you take Erlang!" An
Marquis Ning also kicked the boy hard, but the sullenness and uneasiness in his heart did not diminish at all.
The young man cried and cried loudly: "The villain is not guilty, the villain is wronged!" He cried so hard that he couldn't breathe: "Master Hou, Master Hou, ever since the incident with the wife of the prince, the prince has been in a bad mood. , Only after drinking wine can I fall asleep. Last night, the prince said that he should go out for a walk to get some fresh air and not ask anyone to follow him. He said that he would just leave the door open for him. I didn’t think much about it and went to serve the prince this morning. When I was washing, I realized that the prince didn't come back all night!"
"You didn't come back all night!" An Ninghou became dizzy even more, his legs became weak, and he no longer had the strength to kick people. He just stared and yelled: "The prince didn't come back all night, why didn't you bring someone to look for him? Don’t even reply, what do you do for food!”
Han Changmu also realized that the matter was urgent. He rushed to the young man and asked in a loud voice: "When did Sheng Siyuan leave? In which direction did he go? Where does he go on weekdays? He and Anchang Houfu Do you have any contact with the eldest girl An Jinyue?"
The boy said "Ah", he was so frightened that he was speechless and didn't know where to start.
Han Changmu stabilized his mind, tried to be as calm as possible, and asked word for word: "Don't be afraid, think carefully about where your eldest son may go."
The boy thought hard: "After Mrs. Shizi's accident, Mr. Shizi didn't like to go out much. In the past few days since he came to the mountain, he has been in the room and not even gone hunting. By the way!" He remembered something. As if the voice was too high: "Hot spring, yes, there is one on the west mountainside
The small village with hot springs was the dowry of the prince's wife. The prince read it several times and said that his wife liked the hot springs there the most. Every time he came to Yuhua Mountain, he would stay there for a few days! The prince must have gone there! "
Hearing this, Han Changmu and Yao Yao quickly looked at each other.
The place where Yao Yao pretended to be the fake and met Sheng Siyuan last night happened to be near the west mountainside.
"You lead the way and find him!" Han Changmu said solemnly.
Yao Yao rushed forward, grabbed the boy's collar and went out.
An Ninghou's eyes flickered, he was stunned for a moment, then he suddenly gritted his teeth and chased after him.
At this time, Yuhua Mountain was bustling with people. Groups of people were shuttled through the mountains. Han Changmu and his party rushed to the west mountainside. They did not deliberately hide their whereabouts, so they naturally attracted everyone's attention.
Fat wild animals passed through the forest quickly, and no one was chasing them.
"Is that someone from the Department of Internal Health?"
"That's right, the envoy of the Internal Security Department and the Shaoyin of Jingzhao Mansion."
"Looking at them like this, they are planning to go hunting."
"Are you stupid? Didn't you see that there is someone in custody ahead? There is no need to arrest someone for hunting?"
"Then someone else is going to be unlucky."
"Hey, why does the person I'm escorting look so familiar to me!"
"It looks familiar to me too. It looks like the boy next to Prince An Ning!"
"Hiss, An Ninghou Mansion is going to be in trouble!"
Everyone was whispering to each other and talking about it. When they turned around, they saw An Ninghou following behind him in despair. This immediately confirmed his guess, and he was also following behind in twos and threes, blatantly watching the fun.
There are wild animals every year, and there is not much excitement.
exist!
All the way to the west, around a mountain ridge, the young man pointed to the front and said: "Si Shi, Sir Shi, it's right in front."
Han Changmu pursed his lips tightly, turned his head and looked behind him, his eyes paused on Yao Yao's face, his expression even darker than before.
Yao Yao raised his eyebrows in understanding, turned around and walked quickly to the back. With a "clang" sound, he drew out his long sword and waved it twice.
"Everyone, stop!" Yao Yao said with a cold face, his voice was not loud, but his murderous intent was awe-inspiring and he was not angry: "Whoever takes a step forward, everyone will go to the Internal Security Department to spend the night!"
Everyone paused, looked at each other, and after a while, they tentatively took a step forward.
There was a loud "clang" sound, and the long sword in Yao Yao's hand stabbed out afterimages.
"I want to go to the dungeon of the Department of Internal Security to broaden my horizons! Well, I don't have to do anything today, so I have to help you!"
As soon as these words came out, the onlookers cheered and dispersed like birds and beasts, and there were only a few people left running away.
"Hey, don't run, why are you in such a hurry! You, yes, it's you, you were the one who was watching the most enthusiastically just now!"
Yao Yao pretended to shout a few more times.
The few people at the end immediately quickened their pace.
Leng Linjiang walked over with a smile and gave Yao Yao a thumbs up: "Ah Yao, you should donate more money to Qingshui An!"
Yao Yao spat at Leng Linjiang, and stood still with his long sword in hand. He waited until there were still a few people who were probing their heads, and finally left unwillingly, and then followed Han Changmu and his party.
The door to the other courtyard had been broken open by the servants long ago. The servants and women in charge stood in a queue, bowing their heads and holding their breath, not daring to make a sound.
"Where is Erlang? Where is Second Young Master?" Marquis An Ning
Seeing this scene, he became furious and roared at the top of his hoarse voice.
The steward knelt down on the ground with a pop and said tremblingly: "Second Young Master, Second Young Master came here in the middle of the night yesterday. He went to the Tangquan Pool and didn't come out. No one is allowed to go in."
Han Changmu's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly felt an ominous feeling. He pushed aside the few people blocking the door and rushed in with long strides.
Yao Yao asked the steward: "Where is the hot spring pool?"
"In the backyard!"
The group of people rushed to the backyard, and before they even got close to the hot spring, they could already smell the faint smell of blood.
The two wooden doors of the hot spring pool were ajar, and a thin white mist overflowed from the cracks in the doors.
In the rolling white mist, scarlet traces as thin as gossamer can be faintly seen.
Han Changmu walked over, but before his hand touched the wooden door, the door opened with a "squeak" and a weak voice came from inside.
"Now that we have found this place, please come in and talk about it."
Although the voice was weak, it was not unfamiliar. The person inside was none other than Sheng Siyuan, but I don't know what happened to him, but it sounded like he had only one breath left.
Han Changmu no longer hesitated and stepped in.
Leng Linjiang followed closely behind.
After Yao Yao entered the door, he closed the door with his backhand and blocked the others.
Han Changmu glanced at Yao Yao approvingly, walked around a four-fold landscape screen, and saw the scene in the hot spring pool. He couldn't help but be shocked and almost screamed.
"Ah Yao, block the door and don't let anyone in no matter what!" Leng Linjiang only glanced at Tangquanchi and then ordered Yao Yao in a trembling voice.
Yao Yao was sensible and didn't ask more about what he was looking at. He pinned the long sword to the door.
After bolting it on, looking at the shadowy shadow cast on the screen, it seemed inexplicably familiar.
