Chapter 206 Don't be frightened
Because there are still things at hand and many clues need to be sorted out, Xia Zhaoyi thinks about going tomorrow night.

But when the moon was setting and the sun was rising, after dawn, something happened to Yu Fu himself first, and Yu He was assassinated at home.

The capital city has been cleared up in the past few days, and there are only a few people in the streets. People from the Yu family went to report to the government, but the government was not very willing to show up. They only sent two small officials, and they didn't want to solve the case, but to block the news.

But the rumors of the previous commotion spread out after all, and the spread was not fast or widespread. Xia Zhaoyi only heard about it from a few chatting inn clerks in the afternoon. Neighbors, everyone knows each other, sitting there and chatting.

There are not many things that the store can sell, and the imperial court has restrictions. Xia Zhaoyi can only buy a steamed bun and a pot of tea.

She sat aside and listened quietly. She didn't know the truth about Yu He's killing, but if it was true, she wouldn't think it was too coincidental. Just those people in the backyard of Huiping Inn and Lin Qingfeng, when she was inquiring and looking for clues, she also met many unknown people.

It seems that this thread is broken.

Xia Zhaoyi felt a little tight in her chest. After listening for a while, she didn't want to listen anymore. She ate up the tasteless steamed buns, got up and went back to her room.

The waiter from another inn was poking around at the door at this time.

The guy who delivered the letter saw it, got up quickly, and pulled him to the corner: "Why are you here?"

"Miss Lin asked me to come and deliver a letter." Xiaoer said.

The clerk wanted to hide his identity for Xiaotong, fearing that other people in the shop would notice, so he quickly stretched out his hand and said, "Then give me the letter."

Xiao Er handed over the letter, moved her lips, and wanted to say something, but felt that it was fine not to say it, anyway, the little maid said that she didn't think it was right, so she didn't need to say anything.

The clerk took the letter, sent Xiaoer away, and turned to look for Xiaotong upstairs.

He knocked on the door, but there was no response, and he called his name, but there was no response.

The man tried to push the door open, but the latch was unbolted, and it flew open.

There was no one in the room, the quilt table was tidy, but the boy's bundles were still there.

The guy felt something was wrong, so he quickly backed out.

He raised his hand and scratched his head: "Strange, I saw her coming up, why did she disappear again?"

………………

Ambergris was burning in the study, and the smell was slightly stronger than usual.

It was quiet and silent, except for the occasional sound of Emperor Xuanyan turning a page.

The servant reported outside, and then led a young tall man in.

Emperor Xuanyan put down his pen, watched the man kowtow and salute, and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Your Majesty, Yu He is dead." The man said.

Emperor Xuanyan frowned: "Who?"

The man paused and said vaguely: "Yu He, the one who testified against the stolen money and submitted the evidence of the drug bill."

Emperor Xuanyan nodded, and said lightly: "I remember, it's that person."

"Yesterday he died tragically at home and was bled to death. The murderer has not yet been found."

"Absurd!" Emperor Xuanyan was annoyed, "I'm going to Chongtiantai to offer sacrifices to the heavens today. What are Li Dongyan and Qian Shun doing for such a thing at this critical juncture? Clean up the streets and clean up a mess for me. The murder case comes out!"

At the end, Emperor Xuanyan slapped the table angrily.

The man lowered his head slightly, not daring to speak.

After a while, Emperor Xuanyan said: "Is there anything wrong with Yu Heping?"

"There are quite a few reports to the emperor," the man replied. "In the year since he drove Tang Chengye away, he has been quite a villain, and he doesn't take people seriously. I'm afraid he doesn't even know the truth. How many people have been offended."

"Ridiculous." Emperor Xuan Yan laughed angrily.

"Do you want to investigate the cause of death?" The man raised his head and asked.

"Check it out." Emperor Xuanyan said.

When it came to word search, he thought of what had happened a few days ago, his expression sank again, and he said, "I have not done anything for you to search these days. Regarding the girl Peifeng, I asked You have been investigating for the longest time, have you found it?"

"No..." The man looked embarrassed, "She's probably an orphan, so it's hard to find."

"It is impossible for an orphan to be so miraculous. Either it is rumored, or she is a secret guard raised by some family." Emperor Xuanyan said, "I will give you another ten days. If you can't find out after ten days If it is useful at all, you hand over your saber and go to Tiancheng Camp to feed the horses."

The man paused, and then took the order: "Yes, this subordinate obeys."

Emperor Xuanyan watched the man leave, frowned and picked up the pen.

The servant at the side said at this time: "Your Majesty, this old slave has been holding a few words in his heart. Every time I think about it these days, I always feel confused."

"What words?" Emperor Xuanyan looked at him.

"This matter can't be found out, maybe Liu Sijie really can't be blamed," said the servant, "What if there is no such girl at all?"

"No?"

"Maybe we don't know what happened," the servant looked at Emperor Xuanyan, "Your Majesty, when this girl was running around the city on horseback, Princess Ancheng hadn't even entered the city yet, so she didn't see anything with her own eyes. Who knows if it's true or not? Could it be that Pei Feng had to hide what happened at that time from the emperor, so he made up such a girl?"

Emperor Xuanyan looked at him deeply for a long time, then nodded, turned his gaze away and continued writing.

The waiter still has a lot to say, but bear with it, and just stop at it.

………………

The outside of Yu's mansion is very cold, and there is nothing wrong with it.

Xia Zhaoyi didn't stay long, and walked towards the alley to the south.

After walking for a long time, it was completely dark.

Under the old tree outside the yard, the man was no longer sitting, and their yard was empty.

In the small courtyard of Quan Jiuwei, candles were lit on the second floor, a touch of pale yellow.

The furnishings in the room are simple, and he is practicing calligraphy, copying the "Hua Chao Lu" by Murong Xiu, a calligrapher of the former dynasty.

The candlelight flickered slightly, as if a wind was coming in, he paused for a moment, raised his head, and then heard some noises.

Quan Jiuwei was startled, and he didn't touch the dagger under the desk without holding the pen.

"Who?"

There was a knock at the door.

Quan Jiuwei hurriedly looked back.

"I'll open the door and come in, you should be prepared first, don't be scared by me." A child's voice with a slight milky voice sounded outside the door.

In fact, Quan Jiuwei was already frightened, his hairs stood on end, goosebumps appeared layer by layer, and his whole body was chilling.

The door was pushed open with a "squeak" at this moment, and a ten-year-old boy appeared, dressed in dark, dark-colored civilian clothes, with a handsome appearance and a bun that didn't suit his age.

Quan Jiuwei was in a bad mood, and raised his dagger: "Who are you!"

　_(:з」∠)_I told them that when all the criminals were interviewed by the so-called media for their past stories, they would all say that they were honest people before, and then... I was attacked by the group, and I should lie down "Persuasion" is right, the left ear goes in and the right ear goes out, instead of talking back
