The short-lived ghost of the Xie family has lived a long life

Chapter 801
"Xie Zhifei."

Yan Sanhe: "How many days does it take to come to Tianjin Weiyi?"

Xie Zhifei: "It will take up to three days."

Yan Sanhe calculated the distance and said, "We will set off in the evening and ride all night. We should be able to reach Tianjin Wei at dawn."

"Miss Yan, I'm going to prepare now."

Zhu Qing raised his legs and walked out. As soon as his hand touched the door, he suddenly paused. He opened the door fiercely and jumped out.

Everyone was startled by his actions.

Li Buyan reacted the fastest, picked up the soft sword at his waist and chased after him.

"Hey, what's the situation?"

Pei Xiao subconsciously took a step back, but before he could stand firmly, he suddenly realized something and hurriedly followed.

Xie Zhifei's expression changed, and he ordered Ding Yi and Huang Qi: "Don't follow me out, protect Yan Sanhe."

After that, he also chased out.

In the yard, there was only Pei Xiao.

"What about them?"

Pei Xiao pointed upward: "On the roof."

Xie Zhifei's heart suddenly pounded.

Zhu Qing would not act without reason, he must have discovered something.

Is there someone on the roof?

Just as he was thinking about it, Zhu Qing and Li Buyan both landed.

"Father."

Zhu Qing's expression was unusually solemn: "Someone was eavesdropping on us on the roof. He was very fast. I didn't even see his shadow."

"you sure?"

"I'm sure there are two very shallow footprints on the tiles."

Li Buyan put away his sword and said, "Third Master, we are being targeted."

Xie Zhifei shuddered suddenly, and before he had time to say anything, he saw Yan Sanhe walking out of the room, "I guess it's the person who killed Chen Pi."

Xie Zhifei's first instinct was also his, "What should we do now?"

"Yes, he heard all our plans."

Pei Xiao scratched his head and said worriedly: "He won't kill the Zhao family one step ahead of us."

Li Buyan: "It's very possible."

When Xie Zhifei heard this, the blood all over his body flowed backwards.

The Zhao family is his maternal ancestor's family.

"Yan Sanhe, don't wait until evening, start now."

Zhu Qing: "Third Master is right, it must be fast."

Yan Sanhe couldn't concentrate his thoughts due to the urging, so he simply said happily: "Then let's set off."

There was no time to prepare any dry food. Li Buyan and Zhu Qing each put some money in their arms and set off immediately.

I didn't dare to rest for a moment on the road.

Little Mr. Pei's internal organs were all shaken out, and he gritted his teeth without making a sound.

When we arrived at Tianjin Wei, it was almost [-]:[-].

At this time, the city gate was closed, everyone was tired and hungry, but there was no place to rest.

Xie Zhifei took off his waistband and threw it into Zhu Qing's hand, "Knock on the door and enter the city."

Although the rank of the military commander of the five cities was low, he was still a capital official. The guards guarding the city did not dare to offend him at all, so they immediately opened the city gate and let the five people in.

After entering the city, we went straight to the government office of Tianjin Weifu.

Xie Zhifei only knew that the Zhao family was in Tianjin Wei, but he didn't know where exactly they were in Tianjin Wei.

You could have inquired leisurely without alerting the officials, but now it was a matter of life and death. If you didn't want to alert, you had to alert them.

The officer on duty at the government office saw that they were from the Fifth City of Beijing and thought that this group of people was arresting some fugitive.

So when Mr. Xie ordered them to inquire about the Zhao family, they didn't dare to let out a fart and went immediately. When Mr. Xie complained that they were hungry, he woke up the cook and made some hot dishes and rice.

In order to rush on the road, there was no water or rice for a whole day, and even a person like Yan Sanhe, who ate slowly and carefully, was a little greedy.

After finishing his meal, little Mr. Pei wiped his mouth, tilted his head, and fell asleep leaning against the wall.

Too tired.Xie Zhifei leaned his shoulders towards Yan Sanhe, "Come, lean against me and close your eyes. When we find out about the Zhao family, we will rush there immediately."

At this critical moment, Yan Sanhe never hesitated. He leaned his head on Xie Zhifei's shoulder, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Zhu Qing stood up and said, "Miss Li, you should also rest for a while. I'll go and watch outside."

Li Buyan stood up and said, "I'll accompany you."

"No need to guard."

Yan Sanhe's voice was very vague, "This person's target is not us, so we should close our eyes and sleep."

Zhu Qing and Li Buyan looked at each other and leaned against the wall to sleep. Anyway, whatever Yan Sanhe said was right, they just had to obey.

In the silence, Xie Zhifei slowly opened his eyes.

Yan Sanhe was right. The killer didn't come for them. If he had come for them, he would have taken action long ago due to his skill.

But wouldn't it be more troublesome and labor-saving to kill them directly? There would be no need to eavesdrop and then wait for an opportunity to kill them?
Are you taking into account the identities of him and Ming Ting's family?
……

Soon, the government officials sent out to inquire found the Zhao family's detailed address.

Everyone washed their faces with well water, refreshed themselves, and set off to look for it.

At the fourth watch of the day, the streets of Tianjinwei were deserted.

Five horses galloped on the bluestone road.

You can tell from the sound of horse hooves that the people on the horses are anxious.

After searching for two hours, the five of them found the Zhao family's house built on the mountain at the foot of the winding mountain in the suburbs.

At this moment, the genius just dawned.

Zhu Qing stepped forward and knocked on the door.

The person who opened the door was a hunchbacked old man. He yawned and asked, "Who are you?"

As soon as Zhu Qing saw the old man's demeanor, he knew that nothing was going on in Zhao's house, so he turned around and nodded to the person behind him.

The four people behind him exhaled at the same time.

Xie Zhifei stepped forward and took out his badge, "He's from Beijing. He's from the Wucheng Army and Horses Division. He's looking for your master to investigate the Zheng family's case."

The old man's yawning mouth suddenly opened there, then turned around and ran away.

After a while, two middle-aged men were seen in the distance supporting an old woman with gray hair, walking towards them in a hurry.

Xie Zhifei could vaguely see a hint of Zhao from the old woman's face.

This is Zheng Huaizuo's grandmother.

If the guess is correct, those two middle-aged men should be Zheng Huaizuo's uncles.

At this time, Yan Sanhe was heard saying: "Zhu Qing, don't say anything. Don't go in. Just walk around the house."

Walking around is a lie, but hiding in the dark to see if the killer is following is the real thing.

Zhu Qing turned to the left, Li Buyan turned to the right, and in a few clicks they disappeared.

At this time, the old woman had already approached.

Xie Zhifei handed over his badge, "Xie Zhifei, commander-in-chief of the five-city army and horses, has been ordered to investigate the murder case of the Zheng family again. Old lady, you are..."

"I am that child's mother, and these are her two brothers."

The old woman grabbed Xie Zhifei's arm and said, "Master Xie, please come in quickly. I have a lot to say."

Xie Zhifei looked at the hand on his arm and reluctantly pushed it away. He turned and smiled at Yan Sanhe and Pei: "Follow me."

……

The Zhao family's house is large, but the house is very simple. There is an Eight Immortals table and a few chairs in the main hall. Compared with the Zheng family's family status, it is more than one and a half stars behind.

The person serving tea was a middle-aged servant girl.

After serving tea, the old woman suddenly turned around and asked her son beside her: "What is his name, sir?"

"Thank you sir!"

After the son finished speaking, he smiled helplessly at Xie Zhifei: "My mother is old and has a bad memory."

"nothing."

Xie Zhifei clasped his fists: "What do you call me?"

Pei Xiao's eyes immediately glanced at Xie Zhifei.

This guy is a little too polite today.

It’s enough to call the old lady you, why should I also call you the son of the Zhao family?
Strange things!
