Chapter 235: Sudden Incident
"Thank you, General, for your help. Goodbye."
"Farewell, Second Prince."
After watching Wu Yun and his guards leave, Xuzhou and his two sons said nothing and went back to their rooms to rest.
Hearing his subordinate's report, Wu Yun smiled faintly and said, "Old General, as expected of an old general, still has the same grasp of my inner thoughts as always..."
"Pass the order down, keep a close eye on the situation at the Crown Prince's Mansion, and withdraw all those investigating the Dark Pavilion and the Tianxuan Sect."
"Yes, Master."
After the person left, Wu Yun asked with some concern: "First, how are Old Five and Old Six doing now?"
"My Lord, there has been no news of the Fifth and Sixth Princes. I personally checked the place where they were last seen. It's near the mountains and the sea, and it's neither the Qi King's place nor the Northern King's fiefdom."
Upon hearing this, Wu Yun frowned slightly and asked in confusion: "Oh, have you found anything?"
"There were only a few messy footprints, nothing else was found."
"Check again."
"yes."
Qiyang County.
"Third brother, I really won't pass on the news about the fifth and sixth brothers."
"Fourth Brother, you are not so naive to think that those two in the capital will really let us go. If you and I were not both crowned kings and granted fiefdoms, we would probably be worse off than the Fifth and Sixth Brothers."
He sighed, then looked at Wu Zhe seriously and said, "Fourth Brother, in fact, you not only have the talent to govern the country, but also know how to control your subordinates, and you are more capable. It's just that you don't want that position, otherwise..."
"Third brother, be careful with your words! I still want to live a few more years and explore the other side of the ocean..."
"Okay. Third Brother will go with you. Whoever wants that position can take it."
As the two brothers were talking, Fudge suddenly came quickly, whispered a few words in Wu Zhe's ear, and then turned and left.
Seeing this, Wu Qi looked at Wu Zhe and asked, "What happened?"
"Third brother, I'm afraid we don't need to intervene in this matter."
"Um"
"That young master is still alive."
"What did you say, my second brother is still..." Wu Qi stopped talking after just saying that. Then he looked around and whispered, "He is really still alive."
Wu Zhe nodded in response: "Alive. This incident in Qiyang County was caused by him. It's best for us to hold our ground."
"In that case, Second Brother's people are here too. If that young master knows about the Fifth and Sixth Brothers, it would be inappropriate for us to show up."
"Third brother, have some tea."
"Yes, tea."
Three days later, the Lian siblings entered the Qiyang County government office. After handing over the things they had found to Yun Er, the siblings left the government office leisurely.
"Sister, let's not worry about this."
"Well, little brother, let's go to Brother Zhe's place for tea."
"Okay." Although he knew what Wu Zhe was planning, seeing Lian Feiluo's unhappy face, Lian Mingli nodded in response while lighting a candle for Wu Zhe in his heart, praying that he would not refute him, otherwise...
"Master, Miss Philo and Master Mingli are here."
Upon hearing this, Wu Zhe, who had just taken a sip of his teacup, quickly said, "Well, why are they here? Who leaked my whereabouts?"
Wu Qi, who was sitting nearby, drank his tea calmly, but was actually beaming with joy: Haha, who is so kind? Finally, there's something interesting to watch...
"I don't know."
Wu Zhe glared at Fudge who came to report, then waved his hand to signal him to go down. As he stood up, he saw the Lian brothers and sisters walking in with two guards.
"Hey, what a coincidence, you're here too."
Lian Mingli nodded, and then raised his hand to greet, but was suppressed by Wu Qi who was watching the show. He turned around and looked at Lian Feiluo and asked: "Feiluo, where did you go to make a fortune?"
"Qintang County. Damn it! That county magistrate is so disgusting."
As he spoke, he suddenly looked at Wu Zhe and said, "I saw a jade hairpin there, and it looked a bit like what you described, so I brought it back. Take a look." After that, he took out a emerald green jade hairpin from his sleeve pocket and handed it to Wu Zhe.
After taking it and looking at it, his face instantly darkened and he whispered, "Third brother, this is the hairpin that Concubine Qin gave to my mother. How did it appear in that county governor's mansion?"
Upon hearing this, Wu Qi immediately stood up and looked over: "What do you mean, are you sure it's the hairpin my mother gave me?"
"Look."
Wu Qi took it and looked at it carefully. His expression changed from surprise to gloomy, and even his eyes were filled with murderous intent.
"I remember that my father left this hairpin as a souvenir. But how did it end up in Qintang County?"
"No matter how you put it, there's something wrong with this. Fourth Brother, let's go to Qintang County."
Wu Zhe shook his head and did not agree. Instead, he looked at Lian Feiluo and asked, "Luo'er, do you have any other discoveries?"
Lian Feiluo rolled his eyes and said, "No. However, the county magistrate is now imprisoned in the county government office. You can..."
"Okay, I'll go meet the county governor later."
Night falls.
Wu Zhe and Wu Qi walked out of the yard and headed straight towards the county government office.
I hadn’t walked far when I heard someone say “someone’s dead”, “someone’s dead”…
After inquiring, I found out that the imprisoned county magistrate had died.
How is it possible?
How could he die?
At this moment, several people had the same thought in their minds, that is, this is not true, how could the county magistrate be dead?
Lian Feiluo's eyes flickered for a moment, and then he looked at them in surprise, "Let's go to the county government office and take a look..."
County government office.
Looking at the people standing in the yard, Wu Qi was the first to ask, "What happened?"
Hearing this, everyone looked over. The next second, Qing Jiu bowed and said, "Qing Jiu greets King Qi and King Bei."
Then everyone saluted.
However, before they could say anything, they were stopped by Wu Qi: "Tell me what happened. On the way here, I heard someone was killed. What happened?"
Qing Jiu lowered his head and said nothing. Yun Er replied with a somewhat unhappy expression: "Replying to King Qi, yes. I was careless for a moment and was..."
"The murderer has been caught"
Yun Er pointed at the person who was trapped like a dumpling with a constipated look, and said weakly: "The eldest young master's man is Wuya."
"The young master's people are definitely the young master's."
Lian Yuner nodded, and Wu Qi asked again: "Where is the young master?"
"The eldest young master heard about the Fifth and Sixth Masters and took people out to look for them."
Hearing this, Lian Feiluo frowned slightly, exchanged a glance with Lian Mingli, and then looked at Qing Shiwu who quietly stood beside him, "Aren't you guys guarding it? How could this happen?"
Qing Shiwu whispered, "Master, this is the royal family's business. We are just ordinary people. We should just protect ourselves."
Lian Feiluo glanced at Qing Shiwu suspiciously, and seeing a hint of sarcasm flash across his face, he immediately said, "Qing Jiu, now that King Qi and King Bei are here, you two should quickly explain the situation and then follow us back to Yushan immediately."
