Chapter 186 Uncle Grandpa Eats Alone
Changning Bofu.
"You mean, everyone in the Huang Mansion went out to pay New Year's greetings and there was nothing unusual?" Xu Rou didn't believe what she heard and asked again.
"Yes, everything is normal in the mansion, there is nothing unusual." Nanny Li wiped the cold sweat from her head. She was very afraid of the young lady in front of her.
"Even Mr. Huang and the others are out?" This shouldn't be the case. If that bitch Huang Ziye was really dead, at least Mr. Huang would stay in the mansion and find a way to deal with the matter.
"Yes, I heard that when people in their mansion go out, they always talk and laugh. There is nothing unreasonable about it."
Xu Rou sat beside the table, propping her head on her arm, and remained silent. After a while, she suddenly asked, "Are there any carriages coming in and out that are not from that mansion?"
If something really happened to that person, the only way to transport the body was by carriage. If there was a suspicious carriage coming in or out, as long as the people of Wuyou Pavilion were notified to keep a close eye on it, they would know that the person had an accident in Huang's Mansion. When the time came, Wuyou Pavilion and Huang's Mansion would confront each other... It would be more satisfying than killing that bitch. At this time, she had completely forgotten Wuyou Pavilion's warning to her.
Qiu Die's heart was in her throat, and Nanny Li's heart also skipped a beat. She did see a carriage entering the Huang Mansion, but it was normal to have carriages coming in and out of a mansion. At that time, she was anxiously looking for someone to inquire about the news, so she just took a look and didn't pay attention to when the carriage left.
"It was still early when I went there, and I didn't see any carriages coming in or out." After a quick mental weighing, Li Ma replied that if she said she had found a carriage, the young lady would definitely keep asking questions. If she asked when the carriage left and which direction it was heading, how would she answer? It's better to have less trouble than more, so she wouldn't ask for trouble. In another day, the young lady would enter the palace, and it's uncertain whether she could come back after entering the palace. Hasn't the Empress Dowager seen that she hasn't been back for so many years? She was a smart person, so she wouldn't meddle in other people's business.
"This matter is very strange. You stay and keep an eye on it for me after dinner. If there is anything, take the carriage back and report to me." This Nanny Li is also a miser. She ran such a long distance and was sweating profusely, but she didn't even bother to rent a carriage.
Nanny Li was very dissatisfied. She didn't even get paid for running errands for you. Her monthly salary was not much, and she had a large family to support. How could she rent a carriage for free? But she didn't dare to show it on her face, and kept saying yes.
Xu Rou also had a bad feeling at this time. She was afraid that something had happened to the killer. She couldn't understand why something had gone wrong when it was a sure thing. Could it be that the Huang family had been prepared? She could only wait and see if the man came over at night. If he didn't come, it meant that something had really happened.
Worry-free Pavilion.
The masked man asked the person standing in front of him, "Has number two been found yet?" Number is the ranking of killers in their Wuyou Pavilion. Number two is ranked second among their eighteen killers and has always been a top existence. He has carried out many dangerous missions.
"We couldn't find him at his usual place." The person in front of him replied. It was strange, because No. 2 came to Wuyou Pavilion yesterday morning and when he left, he told people to find him at his place if they had any problems. But today, he received a big job but couldn't find him.
"Nothing will happen. Maybe he got caught up in something. You can go look for him later." The masked man didn't care. This kind of thing has happened before. As a killer, he has many enemies, so it's normal for him to hide when he is being hunted.
Huang Ye didn't know that the person they had teamed up to kill was the second-ranked killer in Wuyou Pavilion, nor did she know that she and Hongdou had now entered the ranks of masters.
Qing Yu'er came back in the afternoon. Everything went smoothly. When they arrived at the city gate, there were too many people going out of the city to pay New Year's greetings, so the soldiers who were checking just lifted the curtain, took a look and let them go. The carriage came to the outside of the city. Xiao Zhao had been around the area a lot for the kiln business before, so he knew where to dump the body without attracting attention. They went to a river far away from the city and threw the body into the turbulent river.
Wuyou Pavilion found the body of No. 2 three days later. The body had been washed far away from the capital. One of the body's eyes had been gouged out, and the most fatal marks were the two knife wounds on the heart. The whip marks on the body and neck were also very obvious. It seemed that he had suffered a vendetta, and the hatred was not small, otherwise the eyes would not have been gouged out.
Since these killers all acted alone, no one knew where he went in the end. Even Wuyou Pavilion was unable to investigate for a while, so the matter had to be put on hold and investigated slowly.
In the evening, those who came to pay New Year's greetings in the mansion all came back early after dinner to discuss how to entertain guests in the mansion tomorrow. The day after tomorrow is the day when Huang Ye will enter the palace, and the relatives all want to come a day earlier, so as to celebrate in advance.
The first thing Hongger did when he came back was to run to Furong Garden. He was worried about the killer. In order to cooperate with his sister's plan, he pretended to be nothing when he went out today, but he was actually very worried.
"It's okay now." Huang Ye told her second brother that Xiao Zhao and the others had returned safely.
"I'm glad you're okay." Hong Ge'er breathed a sigh of relief. His sister has always been reliable, so he shouldn't worry at all.
Seeing that everything was fine, Hong Ge'er became lively again. He excitedly told Huang Ye about his visit to Weiyuan Marquis' Mansion with his grandmother today.
"Sister, you don't know, that uncle called me into the study and asked me some questions on military strategy, thinking that he could stump me. But I have read the Art of War that you wrote for me, so how could I be stumped by him? Later, he took me to the martial arts field and asked me to practice against my cousins. As a result, several people surrounded me and I couldn't get the upper hand." Hong Ge'er was very proud. His uncle thought highly of him and asked his cousins to emulate him.
"Sister, let me tell you, the black ducks we sent as New Year gifts to my uncle's house were discovered by my cousins, who all rushed to eat them. My uncle got angry and drove them all away, and he and my aunt ate alone. My cousins were very dissatisfied and asked me to come back and send them another portion. They also specifically told me not to let my uncle find out, otherwise it would be confiscated again."
"I didn't agree right away. I just said I would come back to see if there was any more." Hong Ge'er didn't want to give it to them privately. If he gave them one, he would have one less.
