Despite Lin Qiaoyue's repeated refusals, the middle-aged woman refused to take back her reward.
It's just that now all hopes are pinned on her.
If he can't even find her, then I'm afraid no one will help him anymore.
Maybe she has been rejected too many times, so the heart of the middle-aged woman is already dead.
If she hadn't met Lin Qiaoyue, I don't know how long she could have persisted.
Before Lin Qiaoyue left, she still put five taels of silver on the table, but took away one of the silver bracelets.
Although the middle-aged woman described Zhao Yue'er's appearance to her, with the silver bracelet, it would be easier to identify the other party.
After listening to the middle-aged woman's story, Lin Qiaoyue was most suspicious of the Hu family in the west of Lingzhou City.
Although the middle-aged woman had visited Hu's house several times to inquire, she did not get any useful information.
But there was a problem, that is, the middle-aged woman was blocked from the door every time, and the other party would not let her in at all.
Especially considering the recent disappearance of other girls in Lingzhou City, this made her even more suspicious of the weird Hu family.
Although there are also a small number of demons who hide their demonic energy and take human form, living in the world of ordinary people.
But most of these demon clans are cautious, and they will never be so blatant like the Hu family in the west of the city.
Their demonic aura was not concealed at all, and Lin Qiaoyue even sensed the terrifying evil aura in the demonic aura.
Lin Qiaoyue had a bad feeling in her heart. She was afraid that something might have happened to the middle-aged woman's daughter, Zhao Yue'er.
But Lin Qiaoyue didn't dare to tell the middle-aged woman.
She left the adobe house and headed straight towards the Hu's house. Not surprisingly, the two guards guarding the door also rejected her request to enter the Hu's house.
In desperation, Lin Qiaoyue could only find a place to hide, wait until late at night, and then go to Hu's house at night to find out.
"Hu family? Is it a fox demon?"
The time finally came at night, and a bright moon hung high in the sky.
Lin Qiaoyue specially changed into black clothes. She looked at the two escort members who were yawning at the door, jumped up and climbed over the high wall.
Stepping on the wall and looking around, the defense in the Hu family's yard was much stricter than outside.
Every thirty steps, there were two members of the escort holding torches. These people were focused and did not relax at all.
Lin Qiaoyue hid in the dark and looked carefully, and found that these people changed positions about every half an hour.
But what surprised Lin Qiaoyue the most was that the members of the escort team in the courtyard were all mystics, and they were by no means just ordinary martial artists with a little bit of external skills.
Through Lin Qiaoyue's observation, the person with the highest cultivation level is undoubtedly a middle-aged man with a beard on his face. His realm has reached the fifth level.
A fifth-level mystic, if placed in an ordinary small sect, he would be considered a very powerful being.
You must know that Li Wuyou, who broke into Shizhou City with Lin Qiaoyue's master Tao Ziming, was only a fourth-level occultist at that time.
But when it comes to the Hu family, he is just a small guard captain. The Hu family doesn't know what kind of family background they have, but they are so generous.
It seems that this night trip to Hu's house may not be so smooth.
The Hu family, hidden in the night, was like a ferocious dragon pool and tiger's den. Lin Qiaoyue had an arrow on her string and had to shoot.
After figuring out the sentry patterns of these escort members, I kept looking for dark places and walked through the outer courtyard of the Hu family, and finally found out where the servants rested.
The Hu family is very large. The outer courtyard is just used as a place for servants to rest, but it actually has more than thirty rooms.
And every room, compared to the simple adobe house of Wang Jinhua's house, was as luxurious as a high-end inn.
Lin Qiaoyue walked through more than thirty rooms and found that fifteen of them were on the left side of the outer courtyard. Most of the rooms were male servants, while those on the right were female servants.
She searched all the rooms where the fifteen maids rested, but could not find a woman who matched Wang Jinhua's description.
"This is weird."
Lin Qiaoyue Mao was in the dark, thinking slowly in her mind, if she wasn't here, could it be in the inner courtyard?
In order to clarify this doubt, Lin Qiuyue did not hesitate and hid in the shadows all the way to the inner courtyard. After walking through all the rooms, she still did not find a woman who matched Wang Jinhua's description.
How could it not be?
Is she really dead? So the Hu family's people had disposed of her body in order to destroy it and eliminate traces of it, so that she couldn't even find her body.
Lin Qiaoyue hid in the dark, frowned, and felt a little annoyed in her heart.
"Who? Where is he?" At this moment, a rough man's voice sounded.
Lin Qiaoyue was shocked and didn't know how she was discovered by the other party.
The next second, a cold little hand suddenly grabbed her wrist, lowered his voice and whispered in her ear: "Follow me!"
Lin Qiaoyue looked sideways, and saw the handsome and delicate face, a pair of light willow eyebrows, the small oval face, and a red cinnabar mole on the temples.
Isn't this the Zhao Yue'er she has been looking for so hard?
Just as Lin Qiaoyue was about to speak, Zhao Yuer put her hand to her lips, made a silencing gesture towards her, and shushed softly.
She nodded, followed Zhao Yue'er, walked around in the darkness, and finally hid in a cold room.
Not long after the two people hid in the room, there was a noise outside the courtyard.
I saw a bright fire outside the window, and the sound of rapid footsteps running from the east to the west, and then from the west back to the east.
The other party was obviously looking for her.
"Don't worry, they won't come here." The girl next to her said softly.
Seeing the confusion in Lin Qiaoyue's eyes, the girl smiled softly: "The old woman of the Hu family just died. This is the place where the old woman's coffin is placed. Normally, no one can come in except the young master of the Hu family. "
Lin Qiaoyue nodded, and an idea flashed in her mind. She suddenly looked at the girl opposite: "No one can come in, so how did you get in?"
The girl frowned slightly and pouted, a trace of sadness flashed in her eyes: "I..."
The girl paused for a moment.
A bright light flashed in her eyes. She looked at Lin Qiaoyue and said with great sincerity: "I know what you are thinking, but I hope you can trust me once. I will definitely not harm you."
Lin Qiaoyue bit her lower lip. She looked at the girl in front of her and thought for a moment before taking out the silver bracelet from her arms: "Do you recognize this thing?"
After the girl saw the silver bracelet in her hand, the look in her eyes suddenly changed: "How come you have this thing? Feifeng bracelet, this is my mother's treasure, she has always protected it very well. …”
