As a sweetheart in the palm of your hand

Chapter 167
As night fell gradually, the figures of several people disappeared into the alley, but it was not only Fang Wu, Mu Qing and Zhu Lan who were concerned about this matter,
It's just that the latter is a child after all, and his reaction is relatively slow. For a while, he didn't understand the impact of what he said.

These people have gained something here, but Ji Xuan's progress is not going well.

Although Wang Qi and Zhang Xuan used their own methods to know the whereabouts of some officials, they still did not block them.

When they arrived at the place where the officials appeared, it was not that they suddenly received the news and left first,

It is to take advantage of the convenience of the place at that time to cause them some trouble, to cause trouble to them, and to make them miss the good opportunity.

So, I had no choice but to return,
However, after Fang Wu and Zhang Xuan returned to the ruined temple, they saw several people staring at Zhu Sanping's portrait in the courtyard.

After all, the few people did not return without success. Wang Qi discovered a problem, that is, those officials had been to Zhu's mansion before contacting them.

It was Zhu Sanping's residence, so several people became very curious about this person.

"Master, did you find anything?" Fang Wu hurriedly asked when he saw several people looking at Zhu Sanping's portrait with heavy eyebrows.

"Maybe, I don't know if it's the right direction." Wang Qi said.

Ji Xuan lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking about, and did not answer their questions.

Fang Wu nodded slowly,

"Where's Mu Qing?" Zhou She asked.

Because the night was getting late, and Tan Sihan wasn't feeling refreshed yet, so he went to rest first, and he left Zhou She here to take care of Gu and the others.

It is inevitable that there will be some accidents, after all, the people behind this case are really cunning and difficult to deal with.

When Fang Wu heard this, he looked at the people behind him in a daze. Tan Sihan's subordinates, as well as Zhang Xuanbai'an were all there, but Mu Qing was missing.

She didn't even know why the other party left,
"I, I don't know." Fang Wu looked at Zhou She, not knowing how to answer, and there was a trace of worry in his eyes at the same time,
They went out together, why...

But Zhou She shook his head: "Don't worry, he won't have any problems, maybe there is something at zero hour."

Fang Wu was still a little apprehensive after hearing this, but seeing Zhou She sitting there carelessly, looking like he didn't care much, he didn't ask any more questions.

It's just that I still feel a little unhappy.

"I think this matter is still on Ren Ye and Zhu Sanping."

At this time, Ji Xuan spoke, his eyes were a little bright, as if he had opened up Ren Du's second channel at a certain moment.

Fang Wu asked: "Zhu Sanping? Master, have you seen this person?"

She didn't quite understand why Ji Xuan paid attention to Zhu Sanping, after all, Ji Xuan still didn't know what happened to Zhu Lan today.

Ji Xuan shook her head, "No."

"We found that these officials went to Zhu's mansion in the middle of the night yesterday. However, Zhu Sanping did not go to the Yamen on business as usual today." Wang Qi said.

"Yes. The reason why I said that the key lies in Ren Ye and Zhu Sanping is because both of them have a characteristic."

Ji Xuan nodded, and he followed suit.

After Ji Xuan said this sentence, everyone was taken aback, but nodded randomly.

Bai An was confused, "What do you mean? Master, what are you talking about?"

"I remember what I said before. Ren Ye has been around both His Highness and His Highness the Fourth Highness, and all the officials in the Yamen have personal relationships."

Zhang Xuan explained.

Bai An nodded, but still looked at him with a puzzled look on his face, so naive, combined with that body shape, it made people feel that his limbs are well developed and his mind is simple.

"But this Zhu Sanping is different. He is a casual acquaintance with almost any official, without exception, as if everyone is avoiding him, but suddenly..."

This time, Zhang Xuan only spoke half of what he said, and then he looked at the latter seriously.

Bai An nodded slowly.

"Suddenly there is a friendship. If something goes wrong, there must be a demon." Bai An followed.

Several people nodded.

"We have to find a way to meet this Zhu Sanping. We met Zhu Sanping's son by chance..."

Then, Fang Wu recounted the incident where they were chased in the alley and went out over the wall to see Zhu Lan.

Hearing this, Ji Xuan looked Fang Wu up and down, and took a long time to move his eyes away.

Perhaps none of the people present noticed that those eyes were full of worry and distress.

"Master, where is Huang Zhong? I want to see him." Fang Wu said.

Mu Qing asked the yamen servant to bring Huang Zhong back, but Ji Xuan didn't understand what happened here, so he didn't know, and just shook his head.

Zhou She said, "Come with me."

He probably knew where it was, he was the only one who knew the ruined temple best, those yamen servants brought Huang Zhong back, they were the ones who were going to hand it over to them.

Hearing this, everyone stood up one after another, and followed behind Zhou She with a whoosh.

"Is your foot feeling better?" Ji Xuan asked in a low voice, while he was still watching Fang Wu's steps carefully.

A pair of hands hung in the air, wanting to help Fang Wu, but they didn't land on her,

However, Fang Wu didn't notice Ji Xuan's discomfort. He just cooperated with Ji Xuan's question, shook the sole of his foot, tapped the ground and said, "Look, Master, it's much better. Basically, the pain is gone."

She felt Ji Xuan's worry, and at that moment, she felt that all the fatigue from today had disappeared.

Ji Xuan took a serious look, nodded and said, "That's good, be careful."

The figures of the two talking were not big, and they followed the crowd from a distance, and did not receive too much attention.
This also made Ji Xuan's words a little more pure concern, less usual laziness.

"Reapply the medicine later, so as not to..."

Fang Wu listened to each sentence, and quickly interrupted: "Oh, I know, master, why are you acting like a little old man. You are nagging to death."

She walked a few steps faster as she spoke, but she didn't even notice that her feet were so bumpy that she almost fell to the ground.

Fortunately, Ji Xuan grabbed him and pulled him back to his feet, "What did I just say?"

After Fang Wu stood firm, she subconsciously seemed to be on the ground. It turned out that she was tripped by a small stone. She blushed and went to see Ji Xuan.

"Be careful."

However, Ji Xuan didn't say anything, just told her again,
Fang Wu nodded quickly, carefully supported by Ji Xuan, and continued to go to the darkest place in the ruined temple...

Their destination is the end of the ruined temple,

Dilapidated, red walls and bricks are uneven, trees and weeds are overgrown, and there is still water left by the previous rain on the ground.
There were also many dry wells whose platforms had collapsed. Zhou She led the way, while Ji Xuan supported Fang Wu and the others carefully walked behind.

Wherever they went, they left two lines of footprints, with tall and thick soil on both sides of the footprints, but it was possible to see traces of people coming and going.
