Zuo Chongming reluctantly agreed, but secretly cursed in his heart: "A woman's heart is like a needle in the sea."
Of course there is a reason why he said that about Qian Qian.
Although the picture in the photo stone is short, it is enough to lock the position.
There are stalactites in the cave, the sound of water flowing, and fresh maple leaves on the ground... This should be the Blood Maple Valley in Yonghe County.
Since Qian Qian can sit on the Demon Suppressing Envoy, she must be able to see this information.
Therefore, this guy is obviously pretending to be stupid.
As for the reason?
It’s nothing more than risk.
The murderer specially sent the photo stone and specifically targeted Bleeding Maple Valley. It was clear that he had other plans. Blood Maple Valley might have already set a trap.
The trap is still there, the key is...
The picture in the photo stone can only show that the princess once stayed in Blood Maple Valley, but it does not mean that she is still there today.
What if Qian Qian and the others try to get through the trap without hesitation and lose a lot of money, but in the end they fail. This will be a huge loss.
Qian Qian didn't want to take risks, so she deliberately pretended to be stupid.
If Zuo Chongming guessed correctly, she would put the blame on the Zou family afterwards, and then the court would blame them, and at most they would only get a few words of censure.
Zuo Zhongming cooperated with her in pretending to be stupid because the risk was too great.
Although this matter is not an infighting within the royal family, the murderer can kill even the masters of the Guiyuan Realm, and there are backup plans if he cannot be saved.
Zuo Chongming thought about it carefully and decided to call it quits and let Qian Qian take full charge.
Although merit is good, life is more important.
"If you can't find a place, you won't save people?"
Zou Fang was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and said without hesitation: "If anything happens to Princess Feiyang, and the court will blame it, you two adults..."
Qian Qianfeng narrowed her eyes and her expression suddenly became serious: "Be careful what you say."
"I can't find the place, how do you think I can save it?"
Zuo Chongming smiled bitterly, picked up the tea and took a sip. He had already sentenced the Zou family to death in his heart.
What does it mean to have trouble come from your mouth?
The little girl is ignorant and has implicated a whole family. This is a disaster that comes from her mouth.
Da, da da~!
At this moment, light footsteps sounded, followed by a burst of laughter: "My lords, don't be discouraged, we know where this is."
The words just fell.
A man in a long robe with a white face and no beard appeared in the main hall like a ghost. Huang Ting followed closely behind and walked into the house instantly.
Looking from a distance, the two men have exactly the same temperament.
Needless to say, both of them are eunuchs.
Huang Ting is from Ping'an County, and the man in the robe is from Yonghe County.
"...屮!" Zuo Chongming.
"Day!" Qian Qian.
The appearance of these two people directly broke their plan.
Qian Qian was the first to react, standing up in surprise and excitement, and asked urgently: "Senior Wang, may I ask where this place is?"
Huang Ting threw out a green jade plaque and looked at Zuo Chongming with a half-smile: "Tsk, the murderer also threw a photographic stone into our family."
"What a coincidence, we have one at home too."
The eunuch surnamed Wang also took out the jade plaque and said in a high-pitched voice: "We have seen it, it should be the Blood Maple Valley at the junction of Ping'an County and Yonghe County."
"You have one too?"
Qian Qian's pupils shrank, then her face changed, and she subconsciously looked at Zuo Chongming.
The masters of the Zhenfu Division in the two counties were all gifted with photographic stones by the murderer. Zuo Zhongming, as the Demon Suppressor of Ping'an County, shouldn't be left out, right?
Zuo Chongming was stared at by several people, and a look of confusion appeared on his face at the right time: "You all have them? Why don't I?"
Before anyone could say anything, he suddenly slapped his head: "By the way, Li Jun is also in the blood coagulation state. The murderer may have recognized the wrong person."
With that said, he took a few steps outside and ordered one of his subordinates: "Call Li Jun here and ask him if he has received a picture stone."
It only takes a moment.
Li Jun hurried over and presented the green jade token in panic: "Sir, someone just threw me into this humble position for no reason, and I happened to hear you calling me."
Zuo Chongming took the jade token, raised it and said, "It turns out that the murderer really made a mistake."
"..." Eunuch surnamed Wang.
"..." Huang Ting
"..." Qian Qian.
Good guy, this time is really eye-opening.
Self-directed, self-acted, and choreographed on the spot... His demeanor was so natural, even Qian Qian had never seen such a shameless and thick-skinned person.
"Forget it, time is urgent."
The eunuch surnamed Wang resisted the urge to slap him: "Let's go to Blood Maple Valley as soon as possible and rescue the princess and the others."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Jun, who had not yet left, said: "Sir, if I remember correctly, the princess seems to have happened in Yonghe County, right?"
"What did you say?"
Huang Ting's expression suddenly changed, and her eagle eyes instantly fell on him.
The corner of Li Jun's mouth twitched, and he secretly complained in his heart: "Damn you, I don't want to say this, Zuo Chongming forced me to say it."
Zuo Chongming glanced at them, feigning anger and scolding: "The princess is a direct descendant of the royal family. If such a big thing happens, how can she care about overstepping her authority and crossing the border?"
As soon as these words came out, Huang Ting and others looked a little ugly.
Zuo Chongming seemed to be reprimanding Li Jun, but in fact there was something behind his words, implying that Huang and Ting had exceeded their authority.
"but……"
Zuo Chongming's voice changed: "I really have nothing to do with this case, so it's okay to help, but to avoid wrangling in the future, it's best to come up with a charter first. What do you think?"
The eunuch named Wang's face trembled and he stared at him coldly: "What charter do you want?"
Zuo Chongming frowned and said: "Your Majesty, the envoy of the town government, said that I have nothing to do with this matter. I am only doing my best to assist the princess because of her safety..."
The more the eunuch surnamed Wang listened, the more he responded with disapproval. Isn't this group of people so shameless?
Let me first say that it has nothing to do with this matter and directly disassociate it. No matter how big the blame is afterwards, it cannot be blamed on Zuo Chongming.
Besides, he helped from the side, which shows that Zuo Chongming helped. If there is any credit afterwards, he will definitely be indispensable.
Take the credit and not take the blame?
Good guy, you are so cruel!
Huang Ting rolled his eyes when he heard this, and couldn't help but sarcastically said: "Master Zuo really enforces the law impartially and sticks to his duty."
Zuo Chongming chuckled: "No, no, as an official of the imperial court, it is your duty to abide by the rules and laws."
"It's too late, right?" The eunuch named Wang sarcastically said.
Zuo Chongming said unhurriedly: "About two or three...four, five or six days."
"Hmph, by the time you finish your schedule, the day lilies will be cold."
The eunuch surnamed Wang fluttered his sleeves angrily and walked out angrily: "Master Qian, let's leave quickly. It doesn't matter if we don't have Master Zuo."
When Qian Qian and others saw this, they could only shake their heads and follow.
After they left, Li Jun couldn't help but ask: "Sir, are we really not going to get involved? They will definitely read your book afterwards."
"Join me?"
Zuo Chongming showed a contemptuous smile: "The prerequisite for joining me is that you can come back alive. Although this is not an internal fight among the royal family, the water is not shallow."
As he spoke, the light in his sleeves flickered, and a jade slip unfolded, revealing a sinister and bloody landscape.
"This is..." Li Jun was puzzled.
Zuo Chongming sneered faintly: "There are eight gates in the mountain, and the inner water is the universe. The gate of life is broken and the gate of death is opened. Their trip... haha, a narrow escape from death."
