Chapter 251 Waiting for the bad news
After watching the prince get on the carriage and walk away, the manager turned around and entered the mansion. The first thing he did was to raise his hand and wipe the cold sweat from his forehead with his sleeve. This level has finally passed!
"Miss Chang is really rational. I thought she would come out to see the prince and ask the prince about his master." A guard said in a low voice.
"Yes, how could the person you like are bad?" the manager responded with a complicated expression.
He went to tell Mrs. Chang that the prince came to the mansion and wanted to see her, but she said she would not see her directly. She was too lazy to think about the words that the prince would not see her, and said that he believed that he knew how to respond to it the most appropriate.
For the manager, it is not difficult to tell a lie to the prince or make up a statement.
So after leaving Chang Xiaojiu, he told the prince that because the prince had no news, Chang's wife had not eaten well recently and had not slept enough. Unfortunately, she fell asleep now.
When the prince heard this, he just smiled. It was obvious that he didn't believe it at all, but so what about this? He wouldn't break into Mrs. Chang's house to confirm the authenticity.
"Go, arrange someone to inquire." The manager suddenly stopped and said to the guard who followed him.
At that time, I said I would go back in a few days, and six days have passed. Even if the matter is not done, there shouldn’t be any news!
It was fine in the past, but now it is different from before. The person I care about is in the palace, so it is impossible for me to send someone back a message.
Also, why did the prince come to the prince’s mansion today? The prince is not a confused person. How could he come to the mansion to appease his prince’s woman? The prince’s behavior is abnormal and inappropriate!
Similarly, Chang Xiaojiu in the room was even more unwilling to make plaster.
What does this prince mean when he comes today?
Pu Yuanyu has not come back yet and has not passed on any news. She is already uneasy. The appearance of the prince has made her feel even more uneasy.
I was worried about Pu Yuanyu's affairs and wanted to investigate, but I had no connections here.
She wanted to go to the place where Pu Yuanyu was doing business in person, but she knew that the people from Prince Yu's mansion had already arranged for someone to go and search for it, and they were better at this kind of thing.
But letting her sit in the palace like this and wait, the feeling of being anxious and waiting is really tormenting!
She had no appetite at all, but she knew that eating nothing would work, and even if she destroyed her body, she would not solve any problem. On the contrary, it made Pu Yuanyu's subordinates even more distracted.
In the middle of the night, Chang Xiaojiu listened to the faint sound of conversation outside the door. She couldn't hear the content clearly, so she got up and put on a cotton robe and opened the door. The conversation outside immediately ended. The manager and Dou Tao both had red eyes and looked at her with sad faces.
Chang Xiaojiu's heart skipped a beat: "Tell me, you two came here in the middle of the night, aren't you just trying to tell me something?"
She didn't notice that her voice was trembling.
After all, the manager was older, and seeing that Dou Tao was still indescribable, he stepped forward with a cruel step: "I just received the news that the wreckage of Hongyun was found under the cliff of Shihu Mountain in Lou County, and the fragments of the master's robe were found nearby. They should have been torn by a wild beast.
The reason why I immediately came to tell my wife when I received the news was because the people from Prince Yu’s mansion helped her become the heroine. I felt that this should be told to my wife truthfully, Madam Chang…?”
As soon as the manager finished speaking, Chang Xiaojiu felt dizzy and his eyes were a little dark.
Half an hour later, Chang Xiaojiu woke up and found herself on the bed, with a painting of tears wiping her eyes in front of her, and behind her was the manager with tears in her eyes.
"How could he die?" Chang Xiaojiu asked.
The manager wiped his tears again, calmed down, and told Chang Xiaojiu everything he had seen when he checked.
Lou County is the only place where Pu Yuanyu goes to do business. It was an accident when he returned. The bodies of the three subordinates who were accompanying him were found near Pu Yuanyu's location on the mountain.
The injuries on the three of them were not fatal injuries, but were infected with a highly poisonous hidden weapon.
In other words, Pu Yuanyu encountered a plot when he returned with his men.
Judging from the traces of fighting on the cliff, the number of people on the other side is quite large. Of course, the number of people is not the key. The main thing is the poisonous hidden weapon used by the other side. The poisonous hidden weapon found on the scene is not a type of poisonous dart, poison needle, and poison arrow.
Obviously, the other party wanted to ensure that Pu Yuanyu's life was foolproof.
"It is impossible to determine that he is dead just by finding the torn pieces of his clothes. He has experienced so many dangers and can be safe this time. Arrange everyone to go there and continue looking for it. Maybe he can't move and hide where he is hiding when he is injured." Chang Xiaojiu said as he looked at the manager.
Listening to Chang Xiaojiu's words, the old manager felt even more uncomfortable. They didn't believe that the master was really gone, but they had already used all the manpower to find all the places they could find, and they were very careful.
However, the scene analysis of the site was discovered, and the master suffered a tragic surprise.
"There are many beasts such as tigers and wolves in Dahu Mountain in Lou County." Speaking of this, the old manager couldn't continue.
Those who arranged to find the prince were not all ordinary subordinates, and they would not easily make the conclusion that the prince had encountered an unexpected situation.
If a person is bitten by a wild beast, even if there should be incomplete bones, it may not be possible to be dragged into the beast's hole.
The old manager thought that the emotionally excited Madam Chang would definitely insist on sending someone to check it out, maybe she would go there in person.
However, after waiting for a while, I didn't hear any response from her.
After instructing Lezhihua and Xiatian to take good care of Mrs. Chang, he quickly walked out.
The master is gone, what they have to do now is to investigate the person behind the murderer, and then find a way to avenge his master. Another thing is how to protect the person he cares about the most in the future.
"Pu Yuanyu, where are you? Come back quickly. As long as you come back safely, I will agree to marry you and stay in the capital in the future." Chang Xiaojiu murmured to himself.
With one sentence, the two girls next to him burst into tears. One covered his mouth and ran out, while the other bit his lips tightly, preventing himself from crying.
Chang Xiaojiu lay down for two days without eating or drinking. On the third day, let Zhihua called him to be in charge.
"I know you must be checking, how about it, have you found something?" Chang Xiaojiu was exhausted and asked very weakly.
After hearing her question, the old manager opened his mouth and stopped talking.
"Why, do you still need to hide it from me?" Chang Xiaojiu asked in the eyes of the old manager. Based on her feelings, she knew that she had found out what she had found.
The old manager looked at her so haggard after only two days of work. She sighed and gestured to draw. After hearing the sound of closing the door, she spoke and told Chang Xiaojiu the information she found.
"This is based on the clues found, and the direction is pointed at that person, but there is no conclusive evidence. It is said that the royal family has no affection, but if it is really him, it is true." Speaking of this, the old manager who has always been good at speaking can no longer speak.
"It's his words, it's not surprising. If it's him, it's not difficult to prove it." Chang Xiaojiu thought for a while and said.
