Emperor Chu heard a clue from Kou Zhun's words. During this period, they did not find anything. At least Wanhua Pavilion was the breakthrough in the entire case.
Zhou Yu went to Wanhua Pavilion. After the incident, they denied it. Were they deliberately hiding something?
"Go back home immediately, I want to meet everyone in Wanhua Pavilion!"
When people pass by, they leave their names, and when geese pass by, they leave their voices. Emperor Chu did not believe that there would be no clues about such a huge arson case.
Like Emperor Chu, everyone rode back to the government office on fast horses. Kou Zhun gave an order and his soldiers went to bring everyone up from Wanhua Pavilion.
There are a total of 190 people in Wanhua Pavilion, including 30 Guigong people, and the rest are all mature women with heavy makeup. The moment they saw Emperor Chu, the women did not panic at all, but looked at them with salivation, as if
The aura emanating from him attracted them very much.
Emperor Chu held his breath and concentrated, glanced around, looked sideways at Kou Zhun and said: "Is everyone in Wanhua Pavilion here?"
"Return to your majesty, no one is left out, arrest them all and return!"
Kou Zhun had a firm expression and a sonorous voice. It was obvious that he was very sure that there was nothing wrong with the arrest of the members of Wanhua Pavilion.
"Okay, let them all go!"
"Let it go!"
Kou Zhun, Zhou Yu, Qi Jiguang, and Yu Dayou were puzzled as to why Emperor Chu wanted to release them all. These people were closely related to Zhou Yu's disappearance.
"Why, do you have any questions about what I said?"
"After being detained in the government office for so many days, if they had wanted clues, they would have found out by now. They really know nothing about Zhou Yu."
Emperor Chu waved his hand and signaled the soldiers to take away everyone in front of them. For a moment, only the four of Kou Zhun were left in the hall, and the atmosphere became extremely quiet.
"Four dear friends, is there any news about Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao in Taichu City?"
"Da Qiao, Xiao Qiao?"
The four of them all looked at a loss, obviously they had never heard of Big and Little Qiao's name. Seeing this, Emperor Chu asked the four of them to step back and looked sideways at Cao Zhengchun behind him.
Cao Zhengchun was the other person in charge of the secret guard besides Xiao Guizi. He had already contacted the secret guard as soon as he entered the city. He calculated the time and the secret guard should appear.
A little while.
The guards of the government office arrived with a man. He was the person in charge of the secret guard of Taichu City. After seeing Emperor Chu, he knelt down and saluted.
"Da Qiao, Xiao Qiao, where are they now after entering Taichu City!"
Emperor Chu speculated that the arson case at the treasure shipyard was related to Lu Buwei. There was no reason why Qiao and Qiao left Chang'an City and came to Taichu City.
"Back to Your Majesty, on the day the fire broke out, Master Zhou Yu and Xiao Qiao disappeared together in Wanhua Pavilion, but the strange thing is that our people never found any trace of their departure."
"There are four gates in Taichu City, and there are a total of 200 secret guards in the city. So many eyes did not see the three living people leaving, and my subordinates have been puzzled."
Hear the sound.
Emperor Chu frowned slightly. The leader of the secret guard said so much just to tell him that Xiao Qiao and Zhou Yu disappeared together, and they were gone.
Weird!
Strange!
Just now, Emperor Chu checked the information of everyone in Wanhua Pavilion and discovered that Xiao Qiao and Wanhua Pavilion were inextricably linked. Unexpectedly, Zhou Yu's disappearance was indeed related to them.
"Zhengchun, Yaoyue, come with me to Wanhua Pavilion to see how three living people disappeared out of thin air!"
If the three of them had reached the pinnacle of cultivation, it would be possible to avoid the surveillance of the secret guards and escape from Taichu City. However, Emperor Chu knew of the cultivation levels of Big and Little Qiao. Their cultivation levels on Qimu Peak were only at the peak of the eighth-grade Martial Saint Realm.
It is possible to take away Zhouyu with Qianyi seamlessly.
Therefore, Emperor Chu guessed that Wanhua Pavilion might have a way out, a road that no one knew about.
Leave the government office.
Emperor Chu did not ride to Wanhua Pavilion, but took Cao Zhengchun and Yao Yue with them and walked slowly along the long street of Taichu City. At this time, night fell and dim lights shrouded them.
Taichu City was not as good as Chang'an, and half of the city had not yet been illuminated by lights. The three of them were walking on the long street, and there was an endless stream of people coming and going. Emperor Chu did not hear a word of discussion about the fire at the Bao Shipyard from their mouths.
Perhaps because time has changed, people have forgotten about this matter, or perhaps the common people have an attitude of not caring about it.
As we walked all the way to Wanhua Pavilion, we heard charming voices one after another. Following the sound, we saw that the mature women who had left the mansion had already started their work in a short period of time.
Emperor Chu did not enter Wanhua Tower, but walked straight into the restaurant opposite, taking Cao Zhengchun and Yao Yue to sit down by the window.
The waiter came up to ask, Cao Zhengchun ordered a bottle of wine and a few signature dishes, and then the waiter turned around and left.
"Sir, there is nothing strange about this Wanhua Pavilion. Could it be that Zhou Yu has been taken out of Taichu City?"
"Wait and see, maybe there will be something to gain!"
Emperor Chu stared at the window attentively. The system had begun to scan Wanhua Pavilion, but contrary to expectations, there was no secret passage in Wanhua Pavilion.
At this moment.
Emperor Chu suddenly looked at the building next to Wanhua Pavilion. The two pavilions were exactly the same, and they were only a hundred steps apart.
"Could it be..."
A speculation suddenly appeared in Emperor Chu's mind. Perhaps Zhou Yu did not enter the Wanhua Pavilion, but went to the adjacent attic. In addition, someone released the illusion to confuse the secret guards, and the secret guards would think that Zhou Yu was in the Wanhua Pavilion.
Missing within.
This is the thought.
Emperor Chu suddenly stood up and walked out of the restaurant. Cao Zhengchun and Yao Yue stood up and left immediately. Just as they were leaving, the waiter's voice came from behind:
"Sir, your food is here..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Emperor Chu and the others had crossed the long street and appeared in front of the adjacent pavilion of Wanhua Pavilion. Yao Yue came forward and knocked on the door. Emperor Chu's expression was indifferent, with a smile on his lips.
at this time.
The system has transmitted the entire pavilion's information into his mind. Zhou Yu is indeed hidden here. Although no information about Xiao Qiao was found, Emperor Chu discovered the existence of another old friend.
They had crossed paths in the past at Muke Village. Unexpectedly, he was also involved in the treasure ship arson case, and the whole matter became confusing again.
Dong dong dong~~
The knock on the door rang again, and then a sound of footsteps was heard, and a creak appeared in the door.
"Who are you and what's the matter with you?"
"The government is investigating the case, please cooperate and open the door!"
Yao Yue's cold voice sounded, and she watched the old man in front of her with vigilance, because she felt a hint of danger in the old man's body.
"The government is handling the case, do you have a token?"
The old man's voice was very hoarse. If ordinary people heard it, they would have felt creepy and their scalp would be numb. At this moment, Emperor Chu gently patted Yao Yue's shoulder and motioned her to step back.
"I haven't seen you for half a year, so you don't recognize me?"
When the old man heard Emperor Chu's voice, a flash of light suddenly flashed through his droopy, cloudy eyes. After a brief moment of shock, he regained his composure again.
"Your Excellency...it seems that I have never met you before!"
"We are all old acquaintances, why not see people with their true colors?"
