"Brother Bai is right. The capital can't hide it. It's just a matter of time." Song Wuya naturally agrees with what Bai Zhuo said, but even so, he still feels that there is something wrong with it. Need to be more patient.
"There has been no letter from the capital in the past few days, and I don't know if there is any new situation over there." Speaking of the capital, it is natural to think of what happened before the capital.
The palace was assassinated, though unsuccessfully, but it was no small matter.Now, it has been five or six days since they got the information, but there is no news from the capital.
Chapter 48
?Chapter 48 Death of the prisoner
"Huh?" Bai Zhuo's words also reminded Song Wuya of the capital.Just when I had such a thought in my mind, a person suddenly walked out in front of me and blinked at them.
Seeing this movement, Song Wuya immediately greeted Bai Zhuo and said, "Brother Bai, let's go back."
"Okay!" Bai Zhuo replied, "The weather is hot enough, if you stay any longer, your clothes might catch fire."
The person who just appeared was none other than the guard who followed them secretly.The imperial guards took the initiative to show up, obviously there was something urgent to tell them.
After returning to the residence, the imperial guards immediately came in front of the two of them.
"My lords, the person you were chatting with earlier has been watched by us." After seeing Song Wuya, the imperial guard immediately talked about that old Li.
Just as Song Wuya and Bai Zhuo thought, they had already been keenly aware of this old Li and were already staring at him.
Hearing this, Bai Zhuo hurriedly asked: "Then who is this old Li, has it been found out?"
"This person is just an ordinary citizen of Yingtian Mansion! He has a shop sold out in a place where there is trouble on the street, and he only lives by collecting rent on weekdays. This person is usually idle and likes to wander around and chat with people. People who know him in this city call him Li Dazui."
"Then what else?" Song Wuya and Bai Zhuo understood what the guard said.
"I'm afraid this person knows someone in the government, and he went straight to the yamen not long after he and his wife returned home." The guard said again.
Song Wuya and Bai Zhuo frowned immediately when they heard that Old Li was heading towards the Yamen.
"Brother Wu Ya, this guy is probably also a member of the Wuliang Sect! Just now he took the initiative to approach us, and he probably recognized the two of us. He is going to inform the yamen!" Bai Zhuo thought of it all of a sudden. Such bad things come.
Song Wuya was naturally worried about this, he frowned and waved his hands at Bai Zhuo: "Brother Bai, please be safe, this may not be the case."
"Brother Wu Ya, I think it's almost the same. Otherwise, why would he go to the Yamen for nothing?" Bai Zhuo said anxiously.
But Song Wuya was still very calm about this point: "If he is really a person of Wuliangjiao, he would not go to the yamen so blatantly. I see that there must be other reasons for the matter, don't worry."
After saying this, Song Wuya looked up at the imperial guard and asked, "Other than that?"
"Other than that, there is nothing else. This subordinate is also worried about the same as Master Bai, so after seeing him enter the Yamen, he immediately reported it to the two adults." The imperial guard shook his head and found nothing else for the time being.
The reason why he was anxious to report this matter to the two people was that the yamen servant had the same considerations as Bai Zhuo, and was worried that this old Li was a member of Wuliangjiao, and he went to the yamen to report the news.
The eager Bai Zhuo had already started pacing back and forth, he hoped that Song Wuya could make a decisive decision at this moment.But Song Wuya was still deliberating, considering other possibilities.
This really made Bai Zhuo anxious, but he also knew that Song Wuya was like this, and it was not the first time he encountered such a situation. Although he was very anxious at the moment, he didn't urge Song Wuya any more.
"Continue to watch the situation, and report to us immediately if there are other changes." Song Wuya finally felt that there was no need to worry.
The imperial guard responded and turned around and left the courtyard.
For a while, the sun had already reached the top of the head, and at noon, the stomachs of the two of them were already empty.Because of what happened in the morning and the contact with that old Li, Song Wuya and Bai Zhuo were both happy and worried.
"Brother Bai, don't always look sad. Don't think about things in the morning, let's go out and see if there is anything to eat at this time." Song Wuya looked at Bai Zhuo still worried Look, said something to him with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Bai Zhuo asked in confusion: "Brother Wu Ya, why are you going out to eat today! Didn't the guard buy it back?"
In the past few days, they were afraid that their whereabouts would be controlled by Wuliangjiao again. Without the care of Situ Wen and Xiaohuan, they would not be able to cook by themselves.But even so, Song Wuya was still careful not to go out to eat, but chose to let the guards bring the food back.
Today this can be regarded as an exception, and it is precisely because of this that Bai Zhuo feels puzzled.
Regarding this, Song Wuya could only helplessly explain: "Brother Bai, we have all gone out a few times, and we don't care about going out one more time. Let's go, I haven't eaten any warm food these days, let's eat well today Last meal."
The appearance of that old Li in the morning made Song Wuya feel more happy.They had new leads after all.
The arrest warrant was obviously a decoration, and its purpose was just as Song Wuya considered.Not only this time, long before this, such strange wanted notices have been posted many times.This is an important piece of information, which is enough for Song Wuya to judge that the magistrate dared to contact this man in private in such a brazen way on the territory of Wuliangjiao.
Using such a secret method to connect, but they were not careful when they met, maybe they have been targeted by someone with a heart.
Wuliangjiao killed the magistrate, but left this person behind. Perhaps when they killed the magistrate, they did not know that this person came to Yingtian Mansion, or this person did not come to Yingtian Mansion at all.But then they took action against this person, and the action was very fast, but they did not shy away from the people in the city.
When I came to the street, even in this hot summer, when it was time to eat, there were more people on the street unconsciously.
"I think it's here." Song Wuya pointed to a tavern on the street and said.
Bai Zhuo was not picky about this, so he nodded and followed.
There were quite a few people in the tavern, but it wasn't full either.Song Wuya and Bai Zhuo went inside, and immediately a waiter came over to say hello.
The two sat down and asked for some things, then looked at the people around them bored.
This person who can come to the tavern for entertainment, still has some spare money in his hands.Unlike Song Wuya and the others, the main purpose of these people coming here is to drink.
Song Wuya and Bai Zhuo stopped drinking this wine.At this moment, they can only use this time to listen to what these people around them are saying.
Not long after, when the food was served, there was a lot of noise around, Song Wuya and Bai Zhuo could only be disappointed.
After a meal, the two of them had nothing else to do, so they went back to their residence to pass the time, and Bai Zhuo continued to compile the anthology of redressing injustices.But Song Wuya sat at the side, holding a brush in his hand, sketching on the paper, and began to calculate the various possibilities of this case, and then put them together to see if he could find anything from them.
In this way, the afternoon's effort was wasted.
It has been six full days, and they still haven't made any progress, and there are few clues, and they can't find anything for the time being.
As night fell, neither of them was in the mood to go out during dinner, and the guards brought them food.After eating, each went back to the house to rest.
"Boom boom boom!"
The door of the room was knocked heavily suddenly, which was extraordinarily crisp in the deep night.
Song Wuya, who had already fallen asleep, heard the heavy sound after a long time.
"What's the matter?" Such an eager knock woke Song Wuya up, which was a rare thing, Song Wuya didn't dare to neglect, and immediately asked outside the door.
Immediately after the door came a reply from the guard: "Lord Song, something happened at the Yamen!"
"Something happened!" Upon hearing that something happened over there, Song Wuya also came to his senses completely, patted his cheek to wake himself up, put on his clothes in the dark, and lit the candlestick on the table.After coming to the door and opening the door to let the guards in, he immediately asked about the details of the matter. "What happened?"
"In the middle of the night, there was some movement in the yamen. Not long after the movement, we saw someone carrying something out of the yamen. These people went straight to the outside of the city, and we followed outside the city. Unexpectedly What they were carrying turned out to be a corpse, which they had hastily buried." The guard frowned and wanted Song Wuya to explain the situation at night.
Hearing the words here, Song Wuya already understood, he frowned and said: "Could it be that the corpse is the man who was arrested the day before yesterday?"
Sure enough, the imperial guard nodded, confirming Song Wuya's guess.
"That's right, my lord, it's that man."
