The old housekeeper looked at the study where the lights were still on late at night, and wanted to remind him, but in the end he held back. The master has been in a bad mood recently, and even his most trusted people dare not approach him easily. Those eyes are like a sharp blade without a scabbard, and he always feels frightened when it falls on him.
"Alas..." The old housekeeper sighed. In just half a month, this family has been turned upside down, and we almost no longer recognize each other overnight.
First, the young master died inexplicably in the small courtyard. Then the old lady was too worried and went with the young master. In the huge Wu Mansion, the master is now alone.
Just now, the old housekeeper went to report the whereabouts of Zhang Yan today, and found that it seemed that only when he heard about this incident, the old man became as angry as before.
Why is the master so concerned about the man named Zhang?
The old housekeeper knows many things about the Wu family. There are both light and dark. But he never imagined that the Wu family was at the point of life and death at this moment, and the key was that he couldn't help but wonder about the seemingly insignificant young man named Zhang.
In the study, Wu Yuan held an official document from the yamen in his hand, but his eyes did not fall on it. He was floating outside the window, looking at the silent night outside the window as if he was waiting for something.
"It's been three days. Something happened to them too?"
The two spirit generals said two days ago that they were going out to investigate for clues about the disappearance of Chu Hongyi and Tang Niu. Once I went, I never came back.
This is anything but normal.
Without even thinking too much, Wu Yuan could guess that the disappearance of the two spirit generals was probably also related to Zhang Yan.
Because Wu Yuan knew very well that, Tang Niu not mentioning it, Chu Hongyi was definitely the one surnamed Shen who made Chu Hongyi disappear. This matter was concealed by him. When the two spirit generals went out to investigate, they would not think of being wary of Zhang Yan, but would be wary of demon thieves who could threaten the existence of "spirits" in general. Once they searched around and found no clues, based on Wu Yuan's understanding of those spiritual generals, they would definitely take the opportunity to kill Zhang Yan's family, under the guise of helping them eliminate their sorrows and grudges, but in reality they were having a great time. By doing this, you can avoid being blamed under the "King's" rules.
It's a pity that Zhang Yan is alive and well, and the Zhang family is also alive and well, but the two spiritual generals are missing.
Wu Yuan had thought about what would happen if the spirit general couldn't deal with Zhang Yan. But when this situation appeared in front of him, it was impossible not to panic. Not only the fear of the unknown, but also the fear of death. Because since the other party can kill his son silently, why can't he kill him in the same way?
The anxiety became more and more serious from the second day after the two spirit generals did not return.
How many years? Wu Yuan couldn't remember the last time he was forced to such a confused state. In the past, whenever we encountered obstacles that we couldn't overcome, we only needed to use "spiritual" means to solve the problem easily, with almost no disadvantages.
But this time...
"Wu Yuan, you seem to be a lot more haggard."
Suddenly, a slightly clear child's voice sounded in Wu Yuan's ears, causing him to quickly look away from the window and saw that there was an unknown figure wearing a ponytail and a white dress on the chair diagonally opposite him. Girl with feet.
The girl is very beautiful, she looks to be sixteen or seventeen years old, and she is looking at Wu Yuan with a smile.
Wu Yuan almost jumped up, like a cat whose tail was stepped on. He hurriedly bowed to the end without daring to raise his head, and paid homage respectfully: "Holy servant Wu Yuan pays homage to my king! I didn't know that my king came and didn't greet him from afar, so I asked my king to punish him..."
"Okay, okay! You were a loser when you were still taller than my waist. Now your beard has turned so much gray, why hasn't it changed?"
"My king taught me that Wu Yuan's worldly aura has stained my king's eyes..."
"Okay. Wu Yuan, stop talking nonsense. Where are my two spirit generals? They sent a message from spirit insects, saying that there may be demon thieves in Langyuan City, causing a spirit boy and a spirit feeder to disappear. I couldn't detect their presence all the way here. It seemed like something must have happened to them.
Wu Yuan, tell me, what do you know here? "
The girl's smile remained the same, her big watery eyes blinking at Wu Yuan, waiting for Wu Yuan's answer. But Wu Yuan felt a stinging pain under the gaze of these beautiful eyes, and the inexplicable pressure forced him to kneel on the ground with a thud.
"My king, calm down! My king, calm down! This matter is very strange, and it is really not something that a servant can see through..."
Wu Yuan's attitude was humble, and he always put himself in the position of "servant". At least nominally he is now the other party's servant. But now he doesn't dare to tell the inside story even if he wants to. If the other party knew that everything was caused by him asking Chu Hongyi to help kill people under the guise of self-interest, then he would probably die.
After listening carefully to Wu Yuan's "causes and consequences" and "circumstances of events," the smile on the girl's lips gradually faded.
"Wu Yuan, I haven't asked you about the matters in your hands for decades. Do you think you can use your little cleverness to deceive me like a fool?"
"My king, my servant is wronged! My servant has always been loyal to my king and has never wavered in his heart. How dare you hide it in the slightest? Regardless of the spirit boy or the missing spirit feeder and spirit general, I really don't know the reason. I can only wait tremblingly for the arrival of my king..." No matter how frightened he was, the expression on Wu Yuan's face and the words in his mouth were impeccable, and there was not even a trace of hesitation in his words. It was as if he had really received a huge misunderstanding, and he seemed very aggrieved. She even burst into tears when she said the last sentence.
However, the girl did not seem to retract her words because of Wu Yuan's crying, but continued: "Chu Hongyi is a spirit feeder. After the spirit boy disappeared, she should have hidden herself and waited for help, but she ended up leaving the shelter without authorization. This is Why?
Chu Hongyi made it clear in her last soul bug letter before the accident that you asked her to do things for you under the guise of investigation.
Wu Yuan, do you still want to deny it? "
The last word exploded in the girl's mouth, as if it rang directly in Wu Yuan's mind. The buzzing sound made him dizzy and caused blood to bleed from his mouth and nose. There was a sense of humble insignificance in my heart, as if the other party had understood everything and was dejected. In an instant, Wu Yuanzhen almost told everything. But in the end, he bit the tip of his tongue hard and woke up a little bit. Three words flashed through my heart: calm down!
"My servant is wronged! My servant never said anything selfish to Chu Hongyi, and I didn't even know when she left. Why did she slander this servant? My king! You have to believe my servant!" he said , while kowtowing loudly.
A while passed. The girl looked at her and kept kowtowing, and Wu Yuan, who looked miserable, suddenly laughed.
"Hehe, Wu Yuan, let's give it a try. Are you really so scared?"
