Red Mansion: Unparalleled Jade Young Master/red Mansion: Wrongly Married Qin Keqing at the Beginning

"That person left by boat?" Ji Yun came to Jia Jue and asked.

Jia Jue shook his head: "It should have boarded the boat, but it may not have left. There is no trace on the other side of the lake."

Ji Yunxiu frowned slightly: "You mean 'flower boat'?"

Flower boat is another name for boat prostitutes in this era, and the painted boats on the lake are their residences.

Jia Jue looked at the several painting boats on the lake, and nodded slightly: "Probably so."

"Then what are we waiting for, capture those girls and compare their footprints one by one." Ji Yun said hastily.

Jia Jue shook his head: "I'm afraid it's not that simple."

"Why?" Ji Yun was puzzled.

"Look at the footprints, not only are they shallow, but they are also very far apart. I think that person must have good kung fu. If he acts rashly, he may startle the enemy and get nothing," Jia Jue said.

Ji Yun quickly compared the footprints, and then took a step forward, but found that the distance between herself was larger than the footprints.

"Ha, see. Even if she has kung fu, she is by no means a match for this girl!" Ji Yun laughed.

Jia Jue couldn't help laughing and said, "It turns out that when you compete in kung fu, you are the one with the faster pace."

Ji Yun blushed slightly: "Of course not, but I'm the worst in lightness. She can't even compare to me, so how can she be my opponent?"

"Yes. You are right." Jia Jue smiled, turned and left.

"Hey! I'm not bragging, I'm really better than her. Where are you going?" Ji Yun hurriedly caught up with him and asked.

"Of course I went back home to rest."

Ji Yun was taken aback: "I'm going back now? But what should she do if she runs away?"

Jia Jue shook her head: "She can't run away, the third division will definitely lock up the whole city, and those who move furtively will definitely not be able to escape interrogation. She can only stay on top of this painting boat to be the safest."

"So that's the case." Ji Yun thought for a while, and then asked, "Then why didn't we know that Hui Sansi and brother surrounded Mochou Lake and captured her in one fell swoop?"

"At this moment, the clues are not clear enough to convict her. Firstly, secondly, if this person is just a pawn, so laborious and motivating, it is regarded as taking her, so what?"

Ji Yun was stunned, and then looked at him with complicated eyes: "In front of you, I seem to be a fool."

Jia Jue couldn't help laughing when she heard the words: "Where is the girl, you can actually think of these truths, but you are not used to thinking about them."

"No wonder my brother is willing to get close to you, what you said makes people feel at ease." Ji Yun muttered.

Jia Jue smiled, but didn't answer.

"Then what will happen to me after tomorrow?" Ji Yun asked again.

Jia Jue looked at her and smiled mysteriously: "Do something that men love."

Ji Yun frowned.

Just when she was about to ask, she saw that Jia Jue was already on the horse.

She quickly chased after him:

"Go behind, this girl wants to be in front."

……

Back in time a little bit, on a painting boat in Mochou Lake.

"My lord, Tang Zexiong is dead." A figure bowed and said to a beautiful woman.

The beautiful woman's expression changed, and she quickly asked: "Do you understand? So Tang Zexiong is really dead?"

"Don't worry, my lord. This subordinate poured kerosene on Tang Zexiong's room with his own hands. After the fire broke out, he didn't come out of the room. After watching the fire with his own eyes, the guards carried out a charred corpse from the room." .”

The beautiful woman frowned slightly after hearing the words: "This is a strange thing, as the young master of the family, he died so easily, why didn't Liu Sheng save him?"

"Maybe it's because the fire is too big for him to rescue, or maybe he's not in Honglu Temple."

The beautiful woman nodded slowly: "That's probably the case. No matter what, once Tang Zexiong dies, this marriage may be unsustainable."

"My lord, Tang Zexiong's death, I think the court will not let it go, this subordinate is willing to escort you out of the city."

The beautiful woman shook her head: "It's okay, it's too risky to leave at this time, it's better to stay here. I've been running flower boats for many years, and no one will notice. This kind of fireworks place is the best cover."

The man nodded.

"Are your hands and feet clean?" the beautiful woman asked.

"Don't worry, my lord, the subordinates are cautious and have not been seen by anyone."

"Okay! In this way, we just need to hide our identity and wait and see what happens."

"My lord, my subordinates have received news that Princess Qiuzi is near to the left, and she will arrive in the capital in a few days," said the man.

The beautiful woman was slightly surprised: "It came so fast."

"As soon as Tang Zexiong took action, His Highness responded immediately, and sent Princess Qiuzi to the capital in the name of traveling. If he can marry the Han royal family, it will buy His Highness a lot of time and stabilize the domestic situation."

The beautiful woman sighed: "His Royal Highness is indeed a wise man who planned strategies. On the one hand, he eliminated Tang Zexiong to destroy their plans, and on the other hand, he imitated them and made good Han people. How can the second prince be undefeated?"

"Yes! His Highness the Third Prince will surely win!"

Afterwards, the two chatted for a few more words before the figure left.

Looking at her back, the beautiful woman's eyes flashed an extremely complicated look, and she murmured:

Is it the third prince again?

……

Inside Honglu Temple.

Ji Zhong and the others looked at a charred corpse, frowning tightly.

"My lords, this man suffered two sword wounds and one sword wound. The two sword wounds were on the shoulder and the lower leg respectively. They were not fatal. The fatal wound was a knife wound on the throat. The murderer was a master of the sword and killed him with one blow. It's not messy." An old clerk said to the crowd.

Ji Zhong rubbed his head: "So, he didn't die from the fire, but from a knife wound?"

"That's true." Wuzuo nodded.

"Can it be understood that this Tang Zexiong was besieged to death by two people, and then the murderer set fire to destroy the corpse?" An official from Dali Temple asked.

"It is possible. However, it is also possible that he was wounded by the sword first, and then died in a surprise attack. Or after being killed, he was vented with a sharp sword."

Ji Zhong rubbed his head in distress when he heard the words. Damn, there is no clue at all, but the case is getting more and more complicated.

He suddenly missed the case he had cooperated with Jia Jue before. He hardly did anything, and the case was closed in such a muddle.

It's not as troublesome as it is now.

And just when he was having a headache, several people in the crowd at the side were watching this scene with cold eyes, and one of them was the mysterious Liu Sheng.

He snorted coldly: "He really has a backhand."

The voice fell, but another voice sounded beside him:

"It doesn't matter, they only have one chance to make a move. Although Tang Zexiong died, it consumed their chance to make a move. In addition, his death can make the Han court feel sorry for me. After they can't find the murderer, I will show up." With Bai Ying's lobbying, this matter can be accomplished."

Liu Sheng said respectfully: "Your Highness has a wonderful plan, and my subordinates admire it."

Chapter 229

Early the next morning, when Jia Jue was still having breakfast, Ji Yun came to the door.

"You don't have to come so early." Jia Jue laughed when he saw her.

Ji Yun chuckled: "I'm here to report the letter."

"What letter?" Jia Jue asked.

"My brother said that Tang Zexiong was not burned to death, but was hit by two swords first, and then his throat was sealed with a knife." Ji Yun said quickly.

Jia Jue frowned slightly: "This is a bit strange. Since Tang Zexiong is dead, why did he go to such lengths to set the fire?"

"Why not?" Ji Yun asked strangely.

"According to common sense, the reason for the arson is probably to destroy the corpses, but Tang Zexiong's identity is certain, so arson is unnecessary. If you are an assassin and you need to assassinate others, you will kill him before setting off. Did the fire burn his body?" Jia Jue asked.

Ji Yun thought for a while and shook her head: "No. He will leave after he dies. There is no need to set fire to it. Isn't this attracting people?"

"That's right, this is an extravagant approach." Jia Jue nodded and pondered for a while, "Unless..."

"Unless what?" Ji Yun hurriedly asked.

"Unless the arsonist and the murderer are two groups, and the arsonist does not know that Tang Zexiong is dead. Or, the arsonist did it on purpose."

Ji Yun was slightly taken aback when she heard the words: "Two groups? Are there so many people who want to take Tang Zexiong's life? Do it on purpose? Why do you want to do this?"

Jia Jue smiled: "Yes, if there are two groups of people, these clues will make sense. As for why they did it on purpose, there may be many, for example, to cover up some more important things, or to deliberately Challenge the court and so on."

After hearing this, Ji Yun pondered for a while: "In the past, I always pestered my brother to arrange a servant for me, but now it seems that I was wrong."

"Oh? Why did you say that?" Jia Jue asked.

"Officers take too much brains to handle cases." Ji Yun looked distressed, "And what I dislike the most is using brains."

Jia Jue couldn't help laughing: "Then what should you do?"

Ji Yun glanced at him, and suddenly said: "I think the most suitable for me is a guard or a thug. Otherwise, you can hire me to be your guard. You do the things that use your brains, and the ones that use knives." I'll come."

Jia Jue laughed out loud when he heard this, but he didn't expect Ji Yun to be so forthright.

"What are you laughing at? Do you agree?" Ji Yun said angrily.

Jia Jue nodded: "I agree, of course I agree. But I have three rules, if you can do it, I will hire you."

Her request actually hit Jia Jue's fancy.

There is only a thirteenth lady with high martial arts skills beside him, but she has a heavy burden on her shoulders. Recently, she is busy receiving and integrating Qingxuan's power, so she has no time to separate herself for the time being.

Jia Jue is also lacking a role like a guard, who can not only listen to him, but also stay with the female family members of Jia's family to protect their safety when needed.

"Tell me." Ji Yun said hastily.

"First, you are my guard, and you must obey my orders, you understand."

"Don't worry, as long as it's not something that hurts nature and reason, I won't refuse." Ji Yun patted her chest and replied.

Jia Jue glanced at the trembling man, and continued:

"Secondly, I don't want anyone other than you to know about my business. You can do it?"
