This question shocked the housekeeper. He was at a loss for words. Jiang Wu waved his hand: "When you asked, were you asking where the young lady escaped to?"
The butler hurriedly bowed and said, "That's exactly it."
Jiang Wu said that he asked in the wrong direction, and ordered him to bring all the maids in Zeng Ting's room, and said slowly: "They may think they are helping the young lady now, but what if they know that Zeng Ting may be in danger?"
Seven or eight maids were brought up quickly. They were all fifteen or sixteen years old. Jiang Wu didn't want to play the trick anymore. If she couldn't ask, she would ask Fu Heng to take out a knife and scare her.
You can ask.
"You know, deliberately concealing it is not helping your young lady find freedom, but harming her."
The maids looked at each other, no one dared to speak.
"Recently, someone kidnapped a girl in the city. Last night, it was even more exposed. Your young lady ran out on her own. Even if she was lucky enough not to starve or freeze, she was alone. What should she do if she met the gangster who kidnapped the girl?
"
As soon as these words were said, one of the maids immediately lost their temper. A slightly fat girl said, "Our ladies don't do that!"
Jiang Wu reacted very quickly and shot his eyes at the maid like knives: "Why? Because she is not alone! Isn't it!"
The maid was frightened by her and looked at her companions with helpless eyes.
No one dared to speak.
Jiang Wu secretly said that he should not be impatient and slowed down his tone: "Don't be afraid, everyone. I am from the government. I only want to ensure the safety of your young lady. The rest is not within our consideration."
Several maids swallowed their saliva and finally spoke slowly: "We don't know much... We only know that the girl has made an appointment with a young master in advance. If the matter of Prince Heping Xuanhou fails, we will let that young master
Master, go pick her up."
In other words, Zeng Ting had actually thought about it for a long time. She first deliberately created an opportunity for Prince Xuan to meet peacefully on the street, hoping to win a marriage. However, if she failed, she would definitely be severely punished by her father.
She heard how Master Zeng discussed killing Zeng Wei, and she naturally felt that Master Zeng would not let her go. If she really couldn't marry a powerful man...she still had an alternative.
Then this person has a strong suspicion - no matter whether this person has any relationship with Li Zeng or not, this person has a very close relationship with Zeng Ting.
"Do you know who that young man is?"
This time, the maids didn't hesitate anymore, they all shook their heads and said, "My lady only interacts with a few handkerchiefs on weekdays, and has no other opportunities to get along with my foreign husband."
Jiang Wu thought for a while and decided to go to Zeng Ting's bedroom to see if there were any clues.
According to his experience, such a pregnant girl usually keeps the letters she communicates with her sweetheart like treasures.
Although Jiang Wu listened to the descriptions of the maids, he felt that this young master was probably just a spare tire for Zeng Ting.
The decoration of Zeng Ting's bedroom was no different from that of ordinary women in the boudoir. Jiang Wu already had a goal in mind and went straight to the desk as soon as he arrived. He saw a red plum on her desk. Unfortunately, it was almost wilting. After opening the drawer, there was no difference.
There are all kinds of makeup and hairpins, but no letters.
Did she guess wrong?
At this time, she suddenly saw the red plum. The red plum was contained in a square blue porcelain vase. It would not be difficult to put a letter in it.
With the mentality of giving it a try, she reached in and dug in - and actually pulled out a few pieces of paper.
There are five in total. At first glance, they are actually some poems and songs, and the handwriting is beautiful. As for the content of the poems, they are all about romance, and there is no signature. But... it is very likely that Zeng Ting wrote it to Ping Xuan.
Poems by Hou Shizi.
It is always difficult for a girl to hide her thoughts and cannot express them openly, so she can only find other ways to express her feelings.
Jiang Wu looked at these pieces of paper repeatedly, and finally found a line of very small words at the end of one of the pieces of paper.
"Do you like this plum blossom?"
Her eyes instantly looked at the plum blossom, and her expression gradually became weird.
Not only did the young master have a close relationship with her, he even came to Zeng's house.
…
I can count all the foreign men who have been to the Zeng Mansion on one finger, and the answer is none at all.
Jiang Wu asked them to think more deeply, whether it was possible that they were relatives from the fifth server, but it turned out that there was no such thing. The Zeng family was a strange family. There were no sons, only daughters, but each of the daughters married very far away, even if they were married far away.
There won't be any relatives from my husband's family during the holidays.
Then we can only start from the sisters and brothers Zeng Ting knows outside. This result is too great. There are many rich ladies in the circle of powerful people. Zeng Ting has a cheerful personality. The first time Jiang Wu met her was in
At Li Jiaojiao's funeral.
At that time...she seemed to be paying special attention to the man named Liu Zhao at the funeral.
Jiang Wu still remembered her expression at that time. When she saw Liu Zhao, her pretty face turned slightly red. Although the two of them didn't speak much, they looked a bit girly.
Of course, it's also possible that Zeng Ting would react this way whenever she saw a good-looking young master.
…
Jiang Wu yawned, took a map of the city, and studied it carefully.
She was sitting in her small house. The weather was as cold as ever. She huddled under the quilt. After a while, someone knocked on the door.
"Miss Jiang."
It was Zhou Xianen's voice.
Jiang Wu raised his voice and said, "Come in."
I saw Zhou Xianen still holding a cloth bag sewn with brocade thread in his hand. He didn't know what it was. Jiang Wu was still curious. He put the thing on the table and said warmly: "Miss Jiang, it's cold today."
I'll give you a soup, otherwise I won't be able to sleep at night."
Jiang Wu's eyes lit up, Zhou Xianen is really a good person!
She was already very cold, so she hugged Mrs. Tang in her arms without any courtesy, and looked at Zhou Xianen with bright eyes: "My lord, are you not on duty today?"
Zhou Xianen touched his nose and was not embarrassed to say that he saw someone selling this on the street and bought one as a gift for her, so he just gave an ambiguous hum.
It just so happened that Jiang Wu was worrying about the map, and Zhou Xianen's arrival was like a divine help. She said, "I can't understand the map. Can you help me look at it?"
Zhou Xianen naturally agreed, because Jiang Wu's room was very small and there were not many chairs. He could only squat on the ground, picked up his pen and asked Jiang Wu with a smile what he didn't understand.
Jiang Wu said: "My lord, you just need to help me make Li Mansion, Qingshi Lane, Xiaoshulin and Zeng's family line up."
She thought about it and felt that the reason why hundreds of households could not find clues was because the scope was not detailed enough.
After Zhou Xianen finished the painting according to her request, he asked her why she did this?
Jiang Wu said: "I have said before that the murderer has his own independent house. These cases are not too far apart from each other. Sir, please help me connect these locations. After a slightly wider circle, the murderer's
The residence must be here.”
Zhou Xianen listened to what Jiang Wu said, looked at the map again, and hesitated: "Girl, if you go by what you said, the possibility of this place is very high."
Jiang Wu leaned over and took a look at the map - Erli Temple.
