Empress Dowager Empress Dowager

Chapter 138
"Did the man in black last night have any clues?" Jin Wuhuan pulled back his thoughts.

"...Still looking for him. He seems to be very powerful. The subordinates have been searching for a day and a night, but they haven't found any clues. I don't know where he is..." Lie Feng lowered his head again, failing to do things repeatedly, always Can't hold my head up.

"It's useless! I can't even find anyone! He's not a Daluo god, let alone a dancer from the Western Regions. Isn't your usual tracking method very effective? Why is everything invalid at this time? He snatched people away right under his nose! He couldn't even catch a hair!" Jin Wuhuan was furious.

Lie Feng didn't dare to speak, so he had to endure the scolding. After a long while, he proposed: "Maybe... maybe that person is a nobleman of Dayong, if you want to hide someone, it may not be difficult... What do you think, Third Master? "

"I think, you think! What use do we think?! No matter who the man in black is, find out! Find out who he is!" Jin Wuhuan didn't want to talk to these trash anymore, and shook his clothes Sleeve, striding towards the side door, this Qingquan Temple can't stay any longer, "Go! Go back to the mansion!"

……

"Miss, you figured it out..." Seeing Huo Mingzhu approaching, Su Hui, who was guarding the entrance of the courtyard, rushed up to greet her, looked up and down Huo Mingzhu, fearing that something might happen to her, and seeing that she was unharmed, she said: "Just now I saw a woman come out wearing my sister-in-law's robe, and I was really shocked. Who lived in the thatched hut, how did I think it was so strange... Good sister-in-law, it's not clean, this ghost place, we It's better to leave earlier..."

"Don't panic, didn't I come out? There's nothing inside, it's just a needle's eye... The scriptures haven't been copied yet, so why not wait another day?" Facing Sulu's worry and urging, Huo Mingzhu fell silent. Don't be in a hurry, she hasn't forgotten what she said to Yu Tong when she came out of the General's Mansion, she said she would stay in Qingquan Temple for three days, eating fast and chanting scriptures for her mother.

Su Hui bargained: "Miss, please promise me not to run around anymore, it's not worrying every day. If a young master comes out from the west wing, that would be great, but there is nothing..."

"Are you still a nympho? The matchmaker woke up from her dream early, why did she come out once and forget the Ninth Prince you have been thinking about so much?" Huo Mingzhu blamed.

After finishing speaking, she didn't bother to reason, and walked towards the West Wing where they lived.

When Su Hui heard Huo Mingzhu talk about Baili Zonglu, she followed Huo Mingzhu's pace with a smile: "What? Miss, do you miss the Ninth Prince? It's been a long time since I saw you, like three autumns? Anyway, no matter who you are Son, it’s nothing compared to the Ninth Prince, the dangerous place like last night, miss, don’t go there in the future!”

"Yes, yes, yes, my Lord Sulu, please stop nagging?!" Huo Mingzhu was annoyed by the nagging, and turned to beg her.After this time, Huo Mingzhu made up her mind that when she went to the underground black market next time, she must not bring Su Yu with her again. This girl is reckless and prone to danger, and she is afraid that something will happen to both of them.

Huo Mingzhu went back to her residence and stayed there for another day, devoting herself to chanting scriptures and chanting Buddha, nothing happened all day.It seems that the underground black market opens on the [-]th day of the Lunar New Year, and the rest of the time is calm. She never went to the backyard again. I don't know if that Jin Wuhuan has left.

Early in the morning on the fourth day, Huo Mingzhu got into the carriage and set off for the General's Mansion.

Halfway through the carriage, it suddenly seemed to hit something and stopped, Huo Mingzhu's body in the carriage swayed, and collided with Su Hui.

"Miss, there are people outside..." the coachman said panickedly outside.

Then there was a shout: "What's the matter with you? Don't block the road, my lady has to hurry!"

"Who are you..." Su Yu lifted the curtain and was about to scold, but stopped again.

From the gap in the half-opened curtain, Huo Mingzhu saw the scene outside.A beggar in ragged clothes stood in the middle of the road, his face was unkempt, and his face could not be seen clearly. From him alone, it seemed that he had come to rob. However, when he saw the person in his arms again, Huo Mingzhu probably knew No wonder why the coachman and Sulu stopped cursing and warning.

Because, what the ragged beggar held in his arms was a blue corpse, his arms were hanging down, and there were spots on the back of his bare hands, obviously he had been dead for a long time.

"Miss, what's the situation?" Su Yu couldn't make up her mind, so she could only ask Huo Mingzhu.

Judging from the way the beggar was holding the corpse, it seemed that he was a very close person. Huo Mingzhu didn't know what he wanted, so she asked aloud: "What are you trying to do when you block the way? Tell me and listen."
