Chapter 203: Reunion with Shaoshang! On the way to find him, everyone showed their special abilities
He Zhaojun couldn't bear it, so she raised her hand to wipe her tears: "Uncle Cheng is right here..." Just as she was about to say this, she heard Shao Shang exclaim and quickly covered his mouth.
"Sister Zhaojun, your hand!" Only then did He Zhaojun see that her entire palm had become transparent, and she couldn't feel anything when it touched Shaoshang's face.
"I..." He Zhaojun didn't know how to explain for a moment.
Shao Shang quickly covered her mouth, preventing her from speaking. "Sister Zhaojun, I didn't realize the consequences of revealing the secrets would be so severe. Even if I'm worried about my father's safety, I would never joke with your life!"
He Zhaojun hummed, "I can't tell you where Uncle Cheng is."
If you can't tell where a person is, that means they are still alive. Otherwise, what Zhaojun meant was "I can't tell where a person died." After understanding what He Zhaojun meant, Shao Shang felt relieved.
"There was a fire in the prison just now, and Li Feng was burned to death. This clue is broken, and we need to find another breakthrough." Shao Shang already had a plan in mind. She took He Zhaojun's hand, and they smiled at each other.
Even though they were just two ordinary girls, at this moment they seemed to have the whole world at their fingertips, feeling safe and full of strength.
——
On the second day, after the few of them had finished their breakfast, He Feng's men came quietly to report that Lou Ben seemed to be very anxious and had left the Tongniu County Government Office early this morning and went out of the city.
He Feng sneered: "It seems that our eldest son of the Lou family, who has made great contributions, still has many secrets."
He Zhaojun knew her brother's temper well, so she quickly stopped He Feng and said, "Third brother, I know you've always remembered that our eldest and second brothers were framed by Lou Ben, but we don't have enough evidence now, so you absolutely can't do anything."
"Are we just going to let him go unpunished?!" Si Niang was also very suspicious of Lou Ben.
"Of course not. I will go with you to find colleagues in the county government office to learn about Yan Zhong and Li Feng's personalities and see if we can find out their motive for stealing the refined copper." General Ling took Shao Shang's hand and comforted him.
He Zhaojun and Wen Ziduan exchanged a glance and said, "Then let's find out where Lou Ben went and what he was doing after leaving the city."
The men split into two groups, not mentioning Si Niang and Shiyi Lang going together to look for Li Feng's family, but only talking about He Zhaojun and Wen Ziduan.
"Follow me." He Feng led the way, following the marks left by the pursuers, all the way to the post station thirty miles outside the city.
He Zhaojun reined in her warhorse and asked, "Is Lou Ben sneaking in this direction?"
I remember that in the original book, the murdered Yan Zhong and Cheng Shi's personal bodyguard would be found here, but apparently only traces of a fight remained here, and the bodies had all disappeared.
"Yes, we chased him here. Lou Ben also looked very confused. After searching everywhere without success, he left a bamboo slip in a hidden place and returned to the Tongniu County Government Office."
A soldier handed the bamboo slips to He Zhaojun. He Zhaojun took it and looked at it carefully. This was not the handwriting that Lou Ben usually used, and she didn't know who he wanted to contact.
She dismounted and squatted on the ground to examine the marks left behind. After a while, He Zhaojun stood up with a serious expression: "It was done by Li Fu. The horseshoe shape used in our dynasty is different from that of the previous dynasty, but look at this mark."
She pointed to a depression, which was obviously from the previous dynasty. The only person who could have preserved traces of the previous dynasty in such a detail was Li Fu, who had clearly mentioned that he would come to Tongniu County.
