Of course there are clues to solve the case.

Chao Muyun ignored Ye Wugou's cover-up action, he could walk and sit, but he had to show off by jumping in through the window. Presumably, his leg injury was not serious.

"The clue you mentioned...but the father and daughter?"

But Ye Wugou shook his head: "If you are looking forward to that, the timing is a bit unlucky, and you may have to wait for two days."

Chao Muyun: "Huh?"

"Didn't we meet an old man who was saving people that night? His identity seems to be a bit mysterious, I haven't figured it out yet." Seeing that the teapot was empty, Ye Wugou was not polite. He knew that there must be boiling water on the small stove outside, so he brewed it by himself. After brewing a pot of tea, pour a cup for Chao Muyun first, let it dry, and then give it to yourself, "So the rescued people have been arranged very well, and they are currently gathered in a Wujin courtyard that is not exquisite, but comfortable enough It is very big and has a garden, it is not considered to be protected by officers and soldiers, but the servants are absolutely clever, and nothing will happen for the time being."

Chao Muyun then understood that maybe the old man had made a thorough plan and had some follow-up arrangements, but for the time being, these people will not move.

"Where did you meet Zhang Xiaqing and Zhang Chuqing?"

"Well," Ye Wugou nodded, "their emotions are a little unstable. The father is too anxious and distressed, and his eyes are almost bloody. The little girl is afraid of men, even if it is her own father, she doesn't want him. Get close, crying almost like no one, don't talk about comforting and rubbing his head, he is not even allowed to touch the strands of hair, you haven't seen that, it's so distressing..."

"But it's not that being a father doesn't listen to you. Didn't you tell him some tips for getting along with him that night? He remembered and understood them all, and thought it made sense. But it's been so many years, and I finally found my daughter. I can't control it, I'm afraid it will take two days."

This Chao Muyun understood: "Is Zhang Chuqing refusing to communicate with people now, and not saying a word?"

"No," Ye Wugou said, "A maid who is about the same age and looks very kind can barely speak a few words, but she doesn't admit her identity or say her name. , I only said that my name is Zao Zao, but the maid thought it was Zao Zi’s Zao Zao, but it was actually Zao Zao.”

Chao Muyun: "Sooner or later, it's early... If you make an early chapter, doesn't the surname Zhang have an early date?"

So this little girl didn't forget her past and didn't know who she was, she obviously knew it very well.

Ye Wugou shook his fan: "The little girl was hurt too deeply, and she needs time to get used to it. Zhang Xiaqing said that the little girl's favorite food when she was a child was actually jujube cake, because jujube has the same pronunciation as early, and she likes this word very much. I also like this food..."

Date cake?

Chao Muyun paused at his fingertips, this was the second time he heard these two words.

At the scene of Leng Nianwen's death, when the wives and concubines of the Marquis of Fen'an competed to show their performance, Tang said that because he gave jujube cakes twice, Leng Nianwen treated her well, at least much better than Mrs. Wu.

I don't know if it's a coincidence, or is there a deeper connection?

Chao Muyun: "The key to this case is the ring jade pendant, you should know about it?"

What this person wants to know, there is nothing that he cannot know.

Ye Wugou obviously understood what this question was asking, and nodded slightly: "I asked, Zhang Xiaqing said that he didn't know, but just vaguely remembered that her daughter seemed to have been given such a jade pendant, but it was obvious that she lost it when she got lost. During this process, this object has been lost, the little girl was changed by the maids, changed her clothes, combed her hair, and there is no jade pendant on her body—"

"Two identical jade pendants. The owner of them, one was abducted early and his whereabouts are unknown. The other died in the garden a few days ago. It is really unlucky. What is this thing?"

Zhao Muyun thought for a while, then pushed the small sandalwood box forward, and opened it for Ye Wugou to see: "We might as well push the timeline forward, this pair of jade pendants was given by the old lady of the Hou Mansion at random. , not particularly expensive and rare, but it is indeed a good pair."

Ye Wugou sent people to follow Leng Nianwen, saw this jade pendant, and found nothing suspicious: "Could it be related to the old lady?"

Chao Muyun said: "Looking at the material and workmanship, including the size and pattern, and the color expression, these are not things that the elderly will use themselves, and it is impossible to buy them casually in the market. The things in the shop are sold to the public, and the patterns are generally accepted. The one with a higher intensity, look at the pattern on its side, doesn’t it faintly look like a white tiger?”

Ye Wugou actually didn't notice it at first, but if he imagined another jade pendant that was exactly the same and put them side by side, the pattern that was put together would look a bit like a white tiger.

Chao Muyun: "These two jade pendants must be customized and given to specific people."

Ye Wugou closed his fan: "One Leng Nianwen and one Zhang Chuqing, both have foreign surnames, and they are not very close. It is impossible for the old lady to make something specially for them for her own birthday."

So, who was this thing originally for?

"I heard that the ancestors of the Marquis of Fen'an are all mud-legged." Chao Muyun said in a low voice, "The ancestors were exceptionally conferred the title of Marquis because of their meritorious service in rescuing them and their talent in martial arts. I have always been proud of the Hou Mansion, until now, there are still many tiger-shaped decorations in the mansion."

Ye Wugou narrowed his eyes: "You mean—"

"With a unique emblem, it gives the elders hope," Chao Muyun said, "Could these two jade pendants be given to the two sons-in-law?"

There are three sons of the Marquis of Fen'an, one is the eldest son born to his wife, Da Wu, and the second is born to his step-wife, Xiao Wu. I heard that the development is a little slow, and the reaction is a little slow. The third is also Xiao Wu. Born by Mrs. Wu, now he has grown into a young man named Luo Yu, who can handle everything, and the first two sons, when Mrs. Wu gave birth to Luo Yu, were rumored to be plotted against by Mrs. Tang and died on the same day .

The old lady only ordered two jade pendants. Obviously, there were only two grandchildren in the mansion at that time, and the third one hadn't been born yet. I don't know the gender, but it was made and didn't send it out, which means that after the order was completed, it was sent here At that time, the two children had died.

This is a sad thing, the old lady is definitely not willing to see these two jade pendants anymore, and keeping them is hurting, which only adds to the troubles. During the birthday banquet, she found that the two children played better. It seems that because of something else, she sent these two little things out.

But now that the old lady has passed away, there is no answer to this question, it is just speculation.

Ye Wugou's voice was slow: "If this direction is correct, then this case may involve the death of the two sons in the past."

Chao Muyun nodded: "Yes."

He felt that the muscles around the other party's lips were a little out of place, showing obvious emotions, but because the other party was wearing a mask, he couldn't see the whole face, and he couldn't spy more.

Suddenly, something flashed in my mind, but it was too fast, and Chao Muyun didn't catch it.

Ye Wugou snorted, and his voice mocked: "The back house is chaotic, wives and concubines fight, and people's lives are ignored. I guess the death of these two children is definitely not easy."

Chao Muyun agreed: "From the current point of view, the murderous intent in this case stems from the exposure of the jade pendant. Specific people and objects involve secrets that were sealed up in the past. These secrets may be what the murderer really wanted to cover up."

But these things happened many years ago, so many years of calm, why is there a sudden undercurrent, is there some accident that caught the murderer by surprise?

Why is it okay for Yupei to exist for so many years, but not now?Regardless of the visits made by Zao Li, or the things Hou Jiuhong listened to, they all said that Leng Nianwen had become taciturn recently, which was a little strange. Could it be related to this secret? For example, what did he know?

There are still many questions inside, but one thing seems to be obvious——

Ye Wugou opened the fan with a bang: "The person who killed the two sons of the Hou family back then is also the murderer we are looking for this time."

Chao Muyun nodded: "Probably."

So now the range of suspects can be narrowed down even more, and those who overlap with the timelines of the two cases are the most suspicious.

"How much do you know about the murder of the two sons-in-law?"

"Not much," Ye Wugou waved his fan casually, "But you can check anything you need."

Chao Muyun looked at Ye Wugou, and felt that the person opposite him had a lot of emotional changes today, including now, as if he was wrapped in a special emotion, and it was difficult to calm down, but it was a pity that the other person was wearing a mask and sometimes covered his face with a fan, Without even showing half of his face, he couldn't read it.

But it doesn't matter, you always know.

He continued the tea and pushed it to Ye Wugou: "What clues are you going to bring me this time?"

Ye Wugou looked at Yubai's fingers on the teacup: "Ms. Spider, I found something."

Chao Muyun withdrew his hand: "Tell me."

After a long pause, Ye Wugou spoke again: "That night I fought with the main gang, Nianjing Gang, you saw it."

Chao Muyun shook his head: "There seems to be a very deep conflict between your guest gang and the main gang."

"It's not just deep now, this contradiction can be traced back many years ago."

Ye Wugou briefly explained the history of the Xiacao Gang. In short, this is a colorful gang. The founder stepped forward to help solve the huge crisis when his family and country were in crisis. The people built a safe haven to give them a way to survive, and also made great contributions to the court.

The Cao Gang at this time is extremely respected and praised by others, and there are not too many rules, but they are all things that a loyal, responsible and passionate man should do.

But then slowly, the stalls got bigger and bigger, more and more people occupied different sites, and became difficult to manage. Some people's hearts were swallowed by desire, and more things changed accordingly...

The rules set in the past have become a bondage. The more sincere a person is, the easier it is to be coerced by words and used by others. The gang is no longer an ideal utopia. The person with the most selfish desires and the most unruly heart has become at the helm.

Nowadays, the Cao Gang is no longer the original Cao Gang. It is no longer respected by people, and has gradually become an unspeakable existence in the mouths of the people; , it is impossible to recruit aspiring and passionate young people, and they have to use tricks, abductions, and even coercion methods to make people have to come...

With such a main gang, is there any future to speak of?

Ye Wugou held the handle of the fan in his hand: "...I thought the main gang didn't do anything about personnel, but I didn't expect that such inaction would actually have something to do with the spider lady."

Chao Muyun: "You checked."

Ye Wugou shook his head: "I was planning to come to Beijing before, and in order to provoke and find trouble, I found many excuses for them, but this organization, they hid it very tightly, and they didn't leak anything. If it wasn't for this coincidence, I'm afraid it would be too late. Can't find out, Nianjing gang leader Kang Yue has a big problem."

"The first time this organization appeared was 16 years ago. After that, it was quiet and there was no movement for a long time. It may be that the operation was stopped, or it may be a low-key development. A few years later, it began to have new actions, specializing in 'human teeth' 'Business, the leader of the organization is called Spider Empress. Everyone says that she is indistinguishable and her identity is mysterious. No one has seen what her face looks like, but I suspect that Spider Empress is not a person, but a code name. Who became the leader of the organization? , whoever inherits this identity can order everyone..."

"Spider Empress is not well-known in the public, she is very low-key, but she has strongholds in various state capitals, and she has a huge power in private, but seeing her mysterious and mysterious, and the leader's behavior style of not showing her face, I feel—"

The corners of Ye Wugou's lips curled slightly, and he was extremely proud: "If you seize the opportunity, make a good layout, and attack multiple places at the same time in a short period of time, it doesn't seem difficult to destroy it."

Chao Muyun felt that the person sitting across from him at this moment was relaxed and not tense at all, as if this was not a difficult task.

Ye Wugou looked into Shangchao Muyun's eyes, his fan waved romantically: "The main gang has been suffering for many years, and it is getting more and more decayed. I will clean it up."

A smile melted into Chao Muyun's eyes: "So just?"

"Not at all," Ye Wugou's slightly downturned lips were full of sarcasm, "I just don't look down on these people who bully women and children. Such a big gang, why can't they do business, and prefer to do this kind of vulgarity thing?"

The leader of the Ye gang has great ambitions, and Chao Muyun feels that the leader of the gang will fall into his hands sooner or later.

"Anyway, I'm still looking for the details of the clues, whether it's the murder case in your hands, or the master gang who is a demon." Ye Wugou shook his fan, and the peach blossoms in his eyes came out again, "Master Xiaochao, if you need anything, You can find me anytime."

Accustomed to the flirtatious behavior of the other party, Chao Muyun has already learned to ignore it: "Do you still remember the case of Zhaoti Temple? There was a durian lady at that time, and now she is a spider lady. It seems that they are not doing good business. The names are so similar. It’s hard not to make people think, can the two be related?”

"You're talking."

Ye Wugou's voice was quite meaningful: "Although the 'business directions' of the two sides are different, there are occasional overlaps, such as a young girl who is in flowering season, both intend to sell for a good price, but one is kidnapping and stealing One is to start from the family environment and force people to 'voluntarily' marry, when they all focus on the same person, won't there be competition?"

"These two organizations seem very strange. They appeared for the first time, and then they developed in a low-key manner. The time course of their low-key prosperity is similar. 'Doing business' will always avoid each other's territory. If they accidentally bump into each other, they will not deliberately retreat, and there will be competition. means……"

Chao Muyun understood: "The two organizations are aware of each other's existence, so avoiding them may not be out of fear, but they just don't want to cause more trouble, and they seem to have a sense of competition when they accidentally bump into each other?"

In addition, the time is about the same, they debuted at the same time, and developed separately...how come these two products are so similar to the same company's products?

The Spider Empress is inextricably linked with the Nianjing Gang, the main gang, so isn't the Durian Empress also...

Ye Wugou looked serious: "I just saw a coincidence in timing, and there are many intriguing subtleties in the details. I haven't found conclusive evidence yet, so I can't say with [-]% certainty."

Very rigorous.

Zhao Muyun lowered his eyes: "The news of that night has not been reported, but Nianjing helped to use tricks?"

Ye Wugou snorted: "You have also been operating in the capital for so many years, and you have no means, so how can Kang Yue secure this position?"

In other words, it was hard work.

Chao Muyun said again: "The government also intervened."

Ye Wugou knew what he was thinking, leaned forward slightly, and said in an ambiguous tone, "Why do you ask why there is such a commotion, but no one discusses it, really no one saw it?"

Chao Muyun was indeed thinking about this issue. No matter how oppressive the Cao Gang and the government were, the people in the market would not be able to hide their emotions. Some new things should be discussed with familiar people, right?But the actions and expressions of the other party made him so happy that he suddenly thought of a direction——

"Are you... used to it?"

As expected of a sick child, this can be guessed.

Ye Wugou paused for a moment, and his smiling lips curled up even more: "There are often soldiers practicing at the gate of the city, and occasionally there is the sound of fighting at night, which is not unusual; Si Xuncheng discovered that there will also be fights; the street you went to is basically a Cao Gang property, and there are only fights. The people in the vicinity have seen a lot of them. Not interested."

Chao Muyun reacted: "So after I left, the two sides didn't fight for a long time?"

Ye Wugou said: "Everyone has been fighting all year round, and they all know how to measure. If there is a chance to kill the target, they will naturally not let it go. But if the target supports in time, you can't move forward. It means that the opportunity has been lost. Let's fight casually. , meaning, both sides will retreat."

Chao Muyun: ...

It's quite sensible for you gangsters to fight.

The movement of the city gate is actually far outside the city. If you talk about it casually, no one will ask. Who knows if it is true or not. It's not that he did it with real swords and guns, and ran away with a feint, so what's there to gossip about?

There is no desire to spread gossip.

but still--

Chao Muyun lowered his eyebrows slightly: "There are ghosts in the government."

In the end, someone still blocked his report and did not give support.If there is a dangerous situation and the signal is reported, it is impossible for the government to ignore it. It is because this person knows who the source of the danger is and deliberately stops it.

"What's so strange about this? There are so many government offices, how can they all be good people?" Ye Wugou smiled and shook his fan, "Don't let this big mouse go, grab him out."

Chao Muyun looked down, and saw that the other party had just been hiding under the table. Because he was getting more and more frightened, the calf that was exposed unknowingly did not have blood, but smelled like medicine. It was obviously thicker than the other leg. Traces of dressing.

His sight was too obvious, Ye Wugou saw it, coughed and got up: "Then what, I've finished talking, I'm leaving."

Chao Muyun remained calm and calm as always: "The door is open, don't jump out of the window, I won't see you off."

Ye Wugou clicked his tongue: "I miss you so much, I came to see you as soon as something happened, and you have nothing to say to me?"

Chao Muyun: "Thank you?"

Ye Wugou's smiling lips parted and his jaw tightened.

Really angry?

Chao Muyun glanced across his whole body: "You haven't changed your clothes, and you are walking in a hurry. When you talk to me, your toes are pointing towards the door. Obviously you have a lot of things to deal with later, and you are very busy. You don't worry about me, and you are also afraid that I will worry about you , so I came here in person and let me confirm it, your kindness is precious, I am grateful from the bottom of my heart, but I can’t stop your unfinished business because of my business.”

After a long silence, Ye Wugou said: "You are really bad."

Chao Muyun: "Huh?"

"Obviously know everything, but always don't say anything, just pick on others... when you can't stand it."

One hit, it makes people's hearts sway, and they can't help themselves.

Ye Wugou was a little worried that he couldn't hide his little thoughts and would be discovered sooner or later, but he was lucky that he blocked his face so that the other party couldn't see it.

Chao Muyun: ...

Some people seem to have added a new trick to their flirtatious means?

He simply ignored it, turned around and took out the jade bone fan, and handed it to Ye Wugou.

Ye Wugou didn't answer it, but pushed him back, squeezed his hand and held it: "You put it away."

Chao Muyun couldn't understand this action: "If it's here with me, wouldn't you lose your weapon?"

The fan is made of unknown materials, it is very clean, it was stained so much blood that night, and after wiping it with a soft cloth dipped in warm water, it is clean and crystal clear, as if it is not a murder weapon, it is very well-behaved.

Ye Wugou bent his lips, and held Chao Muyun's hand even tighter: "I think it's an honor to be used by you to cool off the summer heat."

The warrior's hands were slightly hot, and his heart was dry in the summer, so he frowned slightly at Mu Yun.

It's not that there's anything wrong with this move, after all, the other party has been just talking nonsense all this time, and hasn't violated the rules. This time, it's probably just impatience.

He withdrew his hand and avoided the other party, but unexpectedly forgot that his legs were sore and weak after riding a horse. If he did not stand properly, he would not be able to hold on, and he almost staggered.

Ye Wugou was very detached, wrapping his arms around his waist very naturally.

Seemingly hesitating for a moment between helping him stand up or other methods, Ye Wugou decisively picked him up, walked out of the study, and sent him to the bed in the room: "You should rest for a while."

Chao Muyun: ...

"Your Excellency is arrogant, trying not to let others see that your legs are weak, why are you being polite to me?" Ye Wugou smiled, "I know how ignorant my horse is."

"Obviously very sensible," Chao Muyun frowned, "Thank you."

Ye Wugou was not generous this time: "One word of thanks is not enough, the leader's arm is precious, so there must be a gift of thanks."

Chao Muyun: ...

"what do you want?"

"The jade bone fan is missing a pendant, can you give it to me?"
