"Zheng Yunni is gone?"

The embroidered man nodded and turned around to look at the edge of Meilin.

Huo Weilou looked narrowly and saw a maid standing outside anxiously.

Huo Weilou immediately said: "Call Zheng Wen'an and Zheng Wenrong."

The embroidery envoy left at the order. At this time, He Cheng and other embroidery envoys also came up from the bottom of the well, responsible for searching for the embroidery envoys of other forks: "Marty, the other forks lead to the southwest of the mansion and two lotus ponds in the northwest. To the north is the outside of the mansion, which has been blocked by silt, and no more people have been found in these places."

Huo Weilou nodded, "Seal all the things in the dark room under the ancestral hall."

Bo Ruoyou stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, Miss Zheng cannot be missing for no reason."

When the murderer killed Zheng Wenyan and Zheng Wenchen the previous two times, he lured him out of his permanent residence before attacking. Now Zheng Yunni has suddenly disappeared. Bo Ruoyou was very worried, but Huo Weilou's eyebrows were calm. He ordered a few embroidered envoys to stay here and take the others to come out of Meilin.

The maid beside Zheng Yunni's side was named Huayi. When she saw Huo Weilou strode with people, she immediately fell to the ground and said, "Greetings to the Marquis."

Huo Weilou looked at her from a high place, "When did Zheng Yunni disappear?"

Huayi was about to cry, and she said with red eyes: "Just two hours ago, the eldest lady said she wanted to go out for a walk by herself and not allow her to follow her. So she stayed in the yard. Later, it was dark and the eldest lady had not come back, so she came out to find her. Unexpectedly, when she went out, she asked the eldest brother who was responsible for guarding the road, they said that they had not seen the eldest lady. The eldest lady disappeared shortly after she left the yard..."

Painting wiped away tears and looked at the dark forest around him, and his eyes were filled with fear.

"Is there something unusual before she leaves?"

Huayi shook her head, "No, nothing unusual..."

Although Huayi said this, her eyes drooped, and Huo Weilou's voice suddenly became cold, "Now the murderer is hiding in the mansion, your eldest lady is very likely to be in danger. If you hide something, can you know what the consequences are?"

Huo Weilou was already imposing, but his voice was cold at this moment. Huayi felt that his eyes were like a knife hanging above his head.

The shoulders trembled slightly, and the corners of his lips raised his head, "Miss... The lady has a bad temper these days. After the third master died, the lady said that the next one of the murderers was coming to harm her. She asked the servants to spend the night in the inner room with her for two consecutive nights. This afternoon, the lady learned from the servant that the Marquis brought people to dig the well, and her expression changed suddenly. She stayed in the room for a while, and then said that she wanted to go out to see the eldest lady, and she went there... and didn't come back."

I left after hearing that they came to dig the well.

Bo Ruoyou frowned, and Zheng Yunni actually knew about the underground dark room?

Paintedly shrank his shoulders and looked fearful. At this time, Zheng Wen'an and Zheng Wenrong hurried from a distance. The two walked to Huo Weilou and bowed to him first. Zheng Wenrong only looked solemn, but Zheng Wen'an crossed Huo Weilou's shoulder and looked behind him, and then his expression changed slightly.

Zheng Wen'an said: "Mr. Marquis, I wonder what the Marquis has to give?"

Zheng Wen'an lowered his head, his tone was a little nervous, Huo Weilou looked at him, "Zheng Yunni is gone."

Zheng Wen'an suddenly raised his head, and a hint of horror appeared on his always gentle face, "How could Yun Ni not see you... Could it be... I asked the Marquis to save Yun Ni, it must be... the murderer wanted to harm her!"

Zheng Wenrong was also a little anxious, "How could Yun Ni be gone..."

"Why did the murderer harm her?" Huo Weilou looked at Zheng Wen'an like a cold sword.

Zheng Wen'an's back was stiff, and his hands fell to his side were clenched and unfolded, spreading and clenching into fists, and finally said: "The murderer... the murderer has a grudge against the people in our mansion. Yun Ni is the eldest lady, so he will naturally become the target of the murderer."

A hint of coldness appeared in Huo Weilou's eyes, and Bo Ruoyou also frowned. Eunuch Fu sighed, but his eyes became indifferent.

Huo Weilou's lips curled up in a cold curve, "At this point, you still refuse to say that the reason why you think Zheng Yunni would be murdered by the murderer is because... Zheng Yunni's birthday was not the seventh day of the second month, but the fifth day of the second month."

Zheng Wen'an's pupils trembled violently, "Mr....What does Marquis say about this? Yun Ni's birthday was sent to Beijing early in the morning. No... it is impossible to have a fake..."

Zheng Wenrong was a little confused. He looked at Zheng Wen'an and then at Huo Weilou, but he didn't ask any questions.

However, before Huo Weilou finished speaking, he said word by word: "And the fifth day of the second month of the 15th year of Jianhe is halfway through Yin, which is the yin year and yin time."

Zheng Wenrong's expression changed, but Huo Weilou continued, "Not only is Zheng Yunni's birthday fake, she also has twin sisters."

These words made Zheng Wenrong and Zheng Wenan froze.

Zheng Wenrong was shocked, while Zheng Wenan was frightened.

Huo Weilou's words were as cold as iron. No matter how Zheng Wen'an concealed it, he couldn't help but raise his head at this moment. His eyes were panicked, his lips were trembling, but he couldn't say a whole thing, "How...How can it be..."

Huo Weilou looked at Zheng Wen'an's expression and became colder. "Sixteen years ago, because of the twin daughters, you changed all the servants of the Marquis's house. After this case broke out, you knew that the murderer left the four words "Yin Year Yin Time", you knew that the murderer must be the insider of the incident that year. After discussing with Mama Yu, you decided to destroy the dark room under the ancestral hall so that we could not verify it, because the evidence inside was not a piece of paper and a piece of clothes, but a whole number of houses where living people were imprisoned. You had no time to destroy all traces, so you had to burn the ancestral hall."

The blood on Zheng Wen'an's face faded instantly, "Mr. Marquis, no evidence..."

"You want evidence?" Huo Weilou's words were not filled with emotion. The more he did, the more terrifying it was. "The ancestral hall was burned, and most of the dark room below it collapsed, but you didn't expect that the dark room was connected to the cryptana tree left many years ago. Not only did you hide the people you hide were not dead, but they also escaped by themselves. It was her who came to take revenge on you cold-blooded relatives."

Zheng Wen'an suddenly raised his eyes and looked at Huo Weilou. His eyes were shocked and fearful, as if his most terrible guess had finally been argued and could not bear it. When his knees were bent, he took two steps back and fell down.

Zheng Wenrong quickly helped him with quick eyes and hands, "Fifth brother, what's going on?"

Zheng Wen'an swallowed with difficulty, his eyes rolled rapidly, but he couldn't say a word. Cold sweat fell from his forehead, making him feel exhausted as if he was about to come. "Don't ask me, I don't know... I don't know anything..."

Huo Weilou glanced at Zheng Wenrong, "You once said that twins are not auspicious. If they were still born in the Yin year and Yin period, it would be even more of a disaster. Your mother and your brothers, in order to preserve the glory and wealth of the Hou Mansion, have hidden one person in the underground dark room. Over the years, she has lived a dark day every day, and she is even more miserable than you."

Zheng Wenrong is a twin. He was sent away since childhood and did not enjoy half of the wealth of a noble prince of the Marquis. He also lamented the unfairness of fate, but he never thought that the child born by the eldest lady sixteen years ago was also a pair of twins. In order to protect her marriage with the Second Prince, the Marquis's Mansion chose to hide one of them in an underground dark room, and the first pass was sixteen years.

Thinking of the eldest lady being crazy for no reason, Zheng Wenrong's suspicion for many years was relieved. His eyes were filled with storms. He turned his eyes to look at Zheng Wen'an's face. Even though he was still stubborn, Zheng Wenrong could see that Huo Weilou's words were true. He gritted his teeth with difficulty, "Where is that child now?"

Huo Wei said, "There is no one underground. I think she is still hiding in the mansion. Since she was discovered, she must have been alarmed. But at this time, Zheng Yunni, who knew that we were coming to dig the well, left the yard and disappeared." He looked at the two brothers, "Where do you think she went? What are you going to do?"

Zheng Wen'an immediately said: "This matter has nothing to do with Yun Ni, she doesn't know anything."

Zheng Wen'an said, his eyes flushed. He didn't know whether he was feeling guilty when he thought about the old things, or because he thought about the unsafe Ronghua in the Hou Mansion, "Only our elders knew about the things back then, she didn't know anything. It must be the murderer who wanted to harm her..."

At this time, Zheng Wen'an finally stopped talking and almost agreed with what Huo Weilou said just now, "Please send someone to search immediately, don't let her be killed too. This matter has nothing to do with her. I...I don't want to see anyone else die in the mansion."

Zheng Wen'an's voice was low and his expression was grief, as if he was about to cry the next moment. Huo Weilou saw that he was really unaware of the inside story, and his eyebrows were clumped, "Send someone to search for Sha Gu's residence. Sha Gu also disappeared in the afternoon, and she also wanted to investigate, Zheng Yunni..."

Huo Weilou was instructing the embroidered clothes, but his eyes swept away the words he had been kneeling on the ground. After he said that Sha Gu was gone, he saw the obvious expression of painting change. Huo Weilou looked at Huayi, "Do you know something?"

Huayi kept shaking, her lips moved a few times, but there seemed to be a huge secret hidden and dared not say it. Zheng Wenrong said anxiously: "What do you know? Do you want to see something happen to your eldest lady?"

Huayi's tears suddenly fell down and she cried, "I...I think if someone wants to harm the eldest lady, maybe it's a fool... it's a fool who wants to take revenge on the eldest lady..."

Is the silly girl going to take revenge on the young lady?

Zheng Wenrong said in surprise: "Why is the fool? The fool is the child he picked up. Although he got the pity of his sister-in-law by chance, she is never the one who was hidden..."

Bo Ruoyou frowned when he heard this. The old lady of Sha Gu's life experience investigated. Ruosha Gu was a child of that year, so how could she keep her in the mansion? Moreover, her leg injury is true and it is impossible to commit a crime. The reason why the eldest lady picked her up was that she remembered in her heart that she had a pair of daughters and treated her as another child.

There was also Sha Gu who fell into the well but survived miraculously. The traces on the plum trees beside the well also showed that some people often used ropes up and down, and the ropes needed to be tied to the tree. If the person was underground, who tied the ropes on the well? And if the person went down into the well, who took the ropes tied to the tree? After thinking about it, Sha Gu had this possibility. She used the reason to help the eldest lady break the plums, and she would not have to be suspected of going in and out of the plum forest. What's more, she appeared last night to attract the embroidery clothes to pay attention, so that the murderer escaped.

Huayi cried and shook her head: "No... it's because... it's because Sha Gu fell down the dry well two years ago,... it was the eldest lady who pushed Sha Gu down-"

As soon as this said, everyone's expressions changed. When the painting was asked, he revealed the master's secret. He was extremely scared and knelt on the ground and said, "I didn't lie. I don't know why the fool is loved by the eldest lady. The eldest lady is not happy. That time... That time, the fool happened to come to Meilin Zhemei. The eldest lady was cruel and pushed her down. I followed the young lady at that time. This matter... Only the young lady and the young lady knew about this."

After saying this in one breath, the artist collapsed on the ground with fear. He said this, and she would never be left to serve the eldest lady of the Hou Mansion in the future.

Bo Ruoyou felt chills in his heart. The fool looked ugly and stupid. In the mansion, except for the eldest lady who occasionally loved her, it was almost difficult to survive. It would be fine if the eldest lady had not been ill, but her madness was hard to recover. Her care and care had not brought much benefits to the fool, and it might also cause trouble for her. Not only did the servants bully her because of this, but even the noble lady of the Marquis's house even had the intention of killing her.

Chuntao previously only said that Sha Gu fell into a dry well. Bo Ruoyou took it for granted that Sha Gu was clumsy, but he never thought that she was also murdered. And Zheng Yunni wanted to kill her just because the eldest lady treated Sha Gu a lot?

"You...what are you talking nonsense? How could Yun Ni attack a slut?"

At this time, Zheng Wen'an was still defending Zheng Yunni. Zheng Yunni wanted to marry the second prince. She was bullied by stars since she was a child. Even if the matter was revealed now, the marriage became an unknown number, and Zheng Wen'an also insisted on protecting Zheng Yunni to the end.

Huayi cried and shook her head, "I have never lie. I am also trying to save the eldest lady. When something happened, the silly aunt saw the eldest lady and was later rescued. The eldest lady thought she wanted to identify it, but she seemed to have forgotten that incident. The eldest lady felt relieved, but she didn't know if she had really forgotten it. If she suddenly felt revenge, it would not be impossible."

"The eldest lady has a noble status. If anyone is talking about the eldest lady, I can only think of the stupid lady, or... or the murderer..."

Bo Ruoyou frowned slightly. Sha Gu did not forget it, but did not dare to do it. She had a low status. How dare she accuse the eldest lady of the crime? Even if she was accusing her of the words, she would be the one who suffered in the end.

Sha Gu not only knows who the murderer is, but also has such a grudge with Zheng Yunni. It is indeed quite dangerous. Huo Weilou waved to He Cheng to approach, "Retrieve the ancestral hall servants and search for Zheng Yunni's Sha Gu's residence outside, and do not let go of any place, especially in the corners where people are rarely visited."

He Cheng responded repeatedly, and now the truth of the case is gradually emerging, and the old things in the Hou Mansion have been exposed, and He Cheng is also quite sane. However, Huo Weilou is in charge of this, so he should be a good pawn.

Seeing He Cheng's order to the Yamen, Bo Ruoyou stepped forward and said to Huo Wei's corridor, "Marquis, the civilian girl also wants to go to Sha Gu's residence again."

She wanted to go with the yamen, but Huo Weilou looked at her and said, "Go with me."

No matter how suspicious it is, there is no need to ask. Zheng Yunni left the yard and the fool disappeared. The murderer, who had a rough life but was cruel and ruthless life, hid somewhere in the mansion. The cold night was dark, and Huo Weilou didn't want to see another person die in the Marquis' Mansion.

Since Huo Weilou wanted to go by himself, Bo Ruoyou must follow him. He ordered the embroidered clothes to impose a martial law in the dry well, and then stepped down to the courtyard. Seeing this, Zheng Wenrong and Zheng Wen'an followed.

The sudden change caused the entire marquis' office and the embroidered robes to move, and searched everywhere in martial law. Most of the people were detained in various courtyards and pavilions, and now they looked out through the cracks in the door.

The cold night is shining, and the sky is still clear during the day, but there is no star at this moment. The embroidered clothes and messengers walked in front of the torches, illuminating the lights several feet around like day, but the darkness in the distance is full of shadows, as if something is hidden.

All the way to the Xiarenyuan, Bo Ruoyou saw the wing room that he had only been here last night. He embroidered clothes and opened the door. There was no one inside the door. Huo Weilou was the first to enter, and his eyes glanced around. The bed, bed, table and chairs in the house were clearly visible, and there was no abnormality.

Bo Ruoyou followed in, his eyes still landed on the bed. On the side of the bedside, there was still a sachet with rough needles and threads. Apart from that, there was almost no object that belonged to Sha Gu in the room. His brows were slightly frowned, and Bo Ruoyou saw a slightly worn-out low cabinet on the left side of the bedside.

This is the only cabinet in the house. There is a broken hole on the cabinet door. I don’t know what it is inside. I didn’t suspect that last night, but it was very different tonight. Bo Ruoyou stepped forward and opened the cabinet door.

As soon as the cabinet door opened, Bo Ruoyou's eyes changed slightly. He saw a few old clothes in the cabinet. On the top, there was a moon rabbit lantern that had just been placed in the underground dark room, the same lantern, a silly girl, and a silly girl in the underground dark room. Bo Ruoyou's lips were pursed, and a complex and unspeakable meaning came to his heart.

She became more and more convinced that Sha Gu had been rescued underground.

People who live underground all year round have naturally never seen these lamps. Even the moon rabbit lamp that only children like most often are treasures.

Huo Weilou saw Bo Ruoyou squatting in front of the cabinet before moving, so he walked over. When he saw the moon rabbit lamp, his eyes changed slightly. He thought Bo Ruoyou was going to be sad for a few moments, but she quickly calmed down. She took out the moon rabbit lamp and then flipped over the old clothes underneath.

There were only seven or eight clothes, and spring, summer, autumn and winter were all here. After a brief look, Bo Ruoyou didn't notice anything unusual. Just as she was about to stand up, her eyes changed slightly, and she saw a blue plain jacket.

This simple jacket was uniformly worn by the servants of the Marquis' Mansion. Chuntao has been wearing such a winter jacket these days. On the day she first met Sha Gu, Sha Gu also wore this winter jacket. But after that, when she saw Sha Gu again, she was wearing an indigo blue winter jacket.

A strange thing slipped through Bo Ruoyou's heart. She subconsciously flipped over the winter jacket, but she didn't find anything. But suddenly, she smelled a faint smell of dampness at the end of her nose...

A lightning flashed in his mind, and Bo Ruoyou was stunned for a moment.

The smell was extremely light, but she had just come out of the underground hibernation and was very familiar with the question. She was stunned for a moment, and suddenly stood up and walked to the rear window of the Sha Gu wing room. She pushed the rear window open.

When the rear window was opened, there was a small open space with debris outside. The snow was half-melted and slightly wet and cold, but there was no pungent smell of mud.

So where did the smudge she smelled when she came yesterday come from?
To be continued...
