Chapter 103 Unfathomable
Shortly after Gu Zhixing returned to Luoyang City, Xia Sheng and Bi Qingwen also returned to the Weining Marquis Mansion before the city gate was closed.☆→,
Bi Qingwen escorted Xia Sheng all the way to the mansion before bowing to the side of the house.
I have to say that although this guy is just a deacon in Shantang Branch, he is still very proficient in human relationships and worldly ways. No wonder he could give people the feeling of being friends all over the world during his journey from Yangcheng.
Xia Sheng stood in front of the gate of Ye Mansion and did not knock in immediately. Instead, he looked up at the stars in the night sky in the cool breeze of late summer.
Too many things happened in this short night.
He then had an apprentice, met a shopkeeper who was in charge of the most flower buildings in the world, and also saw the sword technique that the third young master of the Gu family admired him extremely.
But I don’t know what earth-shaking power will burst out when all this finally meets at the same point?
Xia Sheng shook his head and pressed the farther plan back to his heart. When he looked at the starry sky again, he found that the trajectory of the thousands of stars had changed in this instant.
It was like a confusing game. Until the last moment, no one knew where the winner would be.
After standing there staring at the night sky for a whole stick of incense, Xia Sheng took another step and returned to the Weining Marquis Mansion.
The servants and maids in the mansion have not yet slept, so of course they are not trying to wait for Xia Sheng.
But when they saw that their son-in-law did not stay home at night, many people couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Through Yun'er's mouth, Xia Sheng realized that Mrs. Ye had not returned to the house yet. It seemed that it was unlikely that she would talk to the other party about her father's disappearance tonight.
"Okay, then I'll bother you tomorrow." After saying that, Xia Sheng returned to his residence. Sure enough, Ning Zheng was not asleep yet and was sitting in the yard waiting for him to come back.
Xia Sheng walked up and asked directly: "How is it, what's the matter?"
...
At the same time, in a dark room in the Marquis of Weining Mansion, Wang Er had just put down the ink pen in his hand and asked the two sword-wearing warriors kneeling in front of him, "What's the discovery?"
One of them replied respectfully: "Tonight, my subordinates followed Mr. Xia out of the city and then went to Yanyu Tower."
"Yanyu Tower?" Wang Er was stunned. The situation seemed to be somewhat different from what he had expected before. He nodded and said, "Continue."
"Yes. Originally, I followed Mr. Xia into Yanyu Tower, but unexpectedly, Mr. Xia and the shopkeeper of Yanyu Tower seemed to be old friends! In order to avoid being exposed, we had to settle for the second best and chose to wait outside Yanyu Tower. So Mr. Xia met someone in Yanyu Tower and did something, and my subordinates... don't know!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Er was shocked again, but did not blame the two for their fault. Instead, he repeatedly confirmed: "Do you see clearly? Is Xia Sheng and Yanyulou really an old friend?"
The samurai with a sword nodded: "It's absolutely impossible! The owner of the 17th floor of the fireworks, Mo Yuan, is such a big shot, how could anyone dare to pretend to be? Although my subordinates have never seen a real person, they have been fortunate to see the portrait of this person on Zhanxingtai, so they recognized him at a glance!"
The other person also echoed: "Then Mo Yuan and Mr. Xia were sitting in the hall of Yanyu Building, drinking and talking about love and laughing at Fengyue. It was absolutely impossible for the first time to meet!"
Wang Er couldn't help but take a breath. He really didn't expect that he asked someone to investigate Xia Sheng's whereabouts just to be on the safe side, but he actually learned such important information!
He was silent for a moment, then suppressed his inner shock, raised his hand and said, "Speak!"
The two sword-wielding warriors obviously empathized with the surprise shown by their own adults and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Yes. Later, after about half an hour, some accidents seemed to have occurred in Yanyu Tower, but the two of them were far away, so they only knew that there was someone making trouble, and they didn't know what the specific situation was. But not long after, Mr. Xia and the third young master of the Gu family walked out of Yanyu Tower together one after another!"
"What!" Wang Er immediately stood up from the chair and said in surprise: "Gu Zhixing?"
The sword-bearing warrior nodded: "Yes, Young Master Gu San is a famous martial arts fanatic in Luoyang City. His subordinates have fought with him, so they see it very clearly. However, perhaps in order to deliberately avoid suspicion, Young Master Gu San did not go with Mr. Xia, but said goodbye first and returned to the capital earlier than Mr. Xia."
Now, Wang Er was completely unable to remain calm. He frowned and wanted to try to sort out a thread from this information, but found that everything was in vain, because what he learned tonight was too shocking and too unbelievable!
Isn’t Xia Sheng a rural boy in Baima Town? He just arrived in Luoyang on the first day, how could he know Mo Yuan and Gu Zhixing, who are famous young talents?
Is he really just coming to Luoyang to fulfill his engagement? Or is he hiding something ulterior motive in secret?
And just as Wang Er's mind was in chaos, another person came to the room.
After seeing this person, Wang Er waved his hand and asked the two sword-bearing warriors to go down, and told them not to gossip behind their backs. If they dare to reveal what happened tonight, they will be killed immediately!
The two samurai warriors with swords were ordered to leave, and before leaving, they carefully closed the door.
At this point, Wang Er turned his attention back to the visitor.
There are very few people who are qualified to break into this room without reporting or knocking on the door. To be more precise, there are only four people in the entire Weining Marquis Mansion and the entire Luoyang City.
Marshal Ye, Mrs. Ye, Wang Er, and the huge fat man in front of him at this moment.
Since Xia Sheng stepped into the Weining Marquis Mansion, he has never seen this fat man, because at the same time, under the instruction of Wang Er, this man left the General's Mansion to investigate something.
Of course it is about Xia Sheng.
Now, he had collected enough information in the shortest time, so he rushed back and discussed with Wang Er.
Wang Er looked at the solemn meaning in the fat man's eyes and felt a sank in his heart again. He took a deep breath and then asked, "What did you find out?"
The fat man shook his head and said six words: "This boy is unfathomable."
Wang Er calmed down and asked, "What does it mean!"
The fat man did not answer him directly, but took out a piece of silk cloth from his arms and handed it to Wang Er: "This is what I found."
When Wang Er received it, he saw three blood-red big words on his head: "Abduction Order!"
After reading the complete text, Wang Er's eyes were shocked and asked, "What's going on?"
The fat man shook his head and raised two fleshy fingers: "I'm still checking the specific situation, but at least I've discovered two things."
"First, this arrest order was issued from Baima Town. The person who issued the arrest document was the mayor of Baima Town, Xiao Zhen, but what is strange is that this arrest order was withdrawn after only less than a day!"
"Well..." Wang Er nodded. Although this matter was a bit strange, compared to the news he had received from the Sword Warrior before, he felt that the arrest order was not so shocking.
But then, the fat man's next words changed his face.
"Second, it was activated again less than five hours after this arrest order was withdrawn, but this time it was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
"This is nothing. What is even more incredible is that just a few days later, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince took the initiative to revoke the arrest document against Xia Sheng like the mayor of Baima Town!"
The next moment, Wang Er suddenly felt weak and fell back on the chair, completely stunned.
Chapter completed!
