After Zhou Zejing arrived in the outer city, he found a ready-to-wear shop and changed into an inconspicuous green cloth robe, and soon walked into the crowd.

Zhou Zejing is very familiar with the people who work for Mr. Cao. One of the points of the place is in the alley west of the teahouse in front.

Zhou Zejing did not come to the door directly, but went to the teahouse first, and he was about to sit here and stare at the movements there.

Zhou Zejing was very upset. Even if he threatened the Cao family, he had to be a sensible person and could not anger King Su, otherwise he would not have a good life after King Su ascended the throne in the future.

When he was doing business for the Cao family, he was a confidant. Once it was useless, he became an ant, but he could not do nothing.

Zhou Zejing turned the cup in his hand and drank tea with great worries until a familiar figure appeared in his sight.

He was a middle-aged man wearing a short gray brown. His figure looked a little bloated, with a kind smile on his face. He walked very heavily, as if he could make a sound that shakes the mountains. But these were just appearances. Zhou Zejing knew that this man was extremely flexible and had a neat move when he killed people without leaving any trace.

This person's name is Bao Er. He has been hiding in the market all year round and has done a lot for the Cao family.

On the night when my sister-in-law passed away, Zhou Zejing saw such a bloated figure and quickly came out of my sister-in-law's yard. At the beginning, Zhou Zejing was not sure that this person was the murderer who killed my sister-in-law.

It was not until he saw two marks on his sister-in-law's neck that he concluded that there was something strange about his sister-in-law's death. Who would have murdered a woman in the inner husband?

The reason why my sister-in-law caused trouble should be inseparable from her elder brother's death. The Cao family happened to come to him at that time. Cao Xueshi pretended to be concerned about her elder brother and her elder sister-in-law, and asked him for news. Especially after her elder sister-in-law passed away, Cao Xueshi deliberately asked about her elder sister-in-law's funeral.

What puzzled him the most was that he asked him to go to the government office to handle some things. The people in the yamen were very easy to talk. How could those little clerks eat people and don’t spit bones, so how could they be so easy to talk? It was obvious that someone knew it beforehand.

These small details made him suspicious of the Cao family, but what is the use of knowing this? Could it be that he would seek justice for his elder brother and sister-in-law?

Although he has fame and fortune, he has not officially embarked on the official career. He is so slight and has died. Even if he finds out the truth, what is the use of his elder brother and sister-in-law? No matter how hard he is, the whole Zhou family will be involved in this storm.

What he should do is to strengthen himself, which is good for him and the Zhou family. Since the Cao family is using love with his elder brother as an excuse and is so concerned about the Zhou family, he can naturally use this matter to deal with the Cao family in such a false relationship.

So he asked the Cao family to help keep him in the Hanlin Academy. The eldest brother saved the prince and made contributions. The court always rewarded the Zhou family. The eldest brother had only a daughter, and the woman always had to marry out. It would be useless to leave any rewards to her. It would be better to give him a grace and make an exception to let him stay in the capital.

Everything was developed according to his plan. He stayed in the middle of the capital and was closer to the Cao family. He went to the Cao family more often and was ordered by Cao Xueshi to do things. Finally, he saw Bao Er at the Cao family village once.

He always remembered that figure and recognized it at a glance. After learning that he was a member of the Zhou family, Bao Er's eyes flashed strangely. Although it was immediately covered up, he had already learned the truth.

That night, Bao Er should have arrived at the Zhou family and secretly spyed on his sister-in-law's yard, preparing to find an opportunity to do it. Unexpectedly, Zhou Zerui broke into his sister-in-law's house first. After Zhou Zerui and Xu Gui left, while his sister-in-law was still in shock, Bao Er suddenly attacked his sister-in-law and hung her on the beam of the house.

It is very common for the female family to commit suicide after being humiliated. Bao Er also concluded that after his sister-in-law died, the Zhou family would help cover up. Even if the yamen found something strange, they would suspect Zhou Zerui.

However, Xu Gui turned back to his sister-in-law's yard halfway. After hearing the movement, Bao Er was alarmed and hid again. If Xu Gui rushed into the house to save people at that time, he would definitely be killed by Bao Er. However, Xu Gui did not come in to check, but turned to find Zhou Zerui. Xu Gui's actions saved him and completely cut off his sister-in-law's vitality.

Seeing that his sister-in-law was dead, Bao Er was in a hurry to escape from the Zhou family.

There will always be some mistakes when they are busy. Bao Er only stared at Zhou Zerui and Xu Gui, but did not find that he had taken the wrong path. He arrived near the yard of the second bedroom, so he discovered it.

All this is like God's will in the dark, sending the Cao family's handle to him. As long as he makes good use of it, he can get everything he wants.

Now he will definitely be able to use Bao Er to turn things around.

Zhou Zejing walked out of the teahouse and followed Bao Er with two people. He wanted to take Bao Er down without knowing it so that he could deal with the Cao family. Although he had not thought about how to convince Cao Xueshi, holding sharp weapons in his hand was better than empty-handed fists.

"Be careful." Zhou Zejing instructed his confidants. These two confidants were cultivated for many years. They were good at it and they should be able to take the Bao Er when they took action together.

Bao Er walked through two streets, and there were pedestrians coming and going in the bustling street market, so naturally he could not do it here.

Zhou Zejing was waiting patiently.

"Be careful, look at it."

After several cars and horses passed, Bao Er's figure suddenly disappeared in front of Zhou Zejing.

Zhou Zejing widened his eyes and searched around with his confidants. When he was anxious, Zhou Zejing suddenly felt someone hitting his waist. He couldn't help but turn his head, but found that there was no one around him. But because of this time, he saw Bao Er in the crowd again.

"There are there," Zhou Zejing ordered his confidants, "Catch up quickly."

After saying this, Zhou Zejing looked around again. The collision just now seemed to be someone secretly reminding him that he could follow Bao Er closely.

Zhou Zejing touched his waist with his hand. There was an extra object in his belt. The tentacles were cold. He took it out and checked it, and it turned out to be a piece of jade seal.

Zhou Zejing's mind buzzed, and the jade seal reminded him of his elder brother. He liked gold and stone and often carved seals at home.

Zhou Zejing picked up the jade seal tremblingly, with only one carved on it, as if he wanted to write the word "Zhou", and the font was very similar to the seal left by the elder brother.

Zhou Zejing shook his hand and the seal fell to the ground. When he came back to his senses and looked for it, he did not see any trace of the jade seal.

Everything is like a dream, and a seal suddenly appears, and the seal falls to the ground and disappears without a trace.

"Second Master, that man is walking out of the city. Should we catch up with him?"

Hearing the voice of his confidant, Zhou Zejing suddenly woke up. He nodded: "Let's go... chase..."

Several people left the city and walked on a small road.

There were fewer and fewer pedestrians on the road. Zhou Zejing nodded to the people around him. Now it was the best place to ambush Bao Er. Before Zhou Zejing's confidant could surround Bao Er, Bao Er, not far away, stopped and turned around.
