Chapter 1541 Murderous Intent 4 Volts
Huo Changhe's voice was tinged with laughter.
"Nothing can be hidden from Yu'er," he lowered his voice, "I have asked Yinding to lead people to follow secretly. There are people around these three teams. As long as the person controlling this situation is there, we will definitely catch him."
Yan Ruyu praised: "Your Majesty is wise."
"No, not even a fraction of what the princess can do."
Yan Ruyu smiled and said, "Your Majesty would also say such things."
Huo Changhe blushed a little. He really wasn't good at saying such things. It was Yinding who told him that he should say such things from time to time. This is called... providing emotional value.
Yinding said that it was the abbot who said that.
Since the abbot said so, Huo Changhe couldn't help but trust him a little more.
And he found that Yan Ruyu would indeed be happier after saying such words.
In that case, what's the harm in talking more? As long as Yan Ruyu is happy, he can do anything, not to mention just saying a few words.
His mind was drifting away, and Yan Ruyu was looking at the people living outside the forest.
The detectives have checked two households and found none.
There is only one household left.
If this one doesn't have any, we have to wait and wait for news from the other two places.
Two detectives had just withdrawn from one of the houses and were about to go to the last house when an old woman came towards them.
He was slightly bent over, holding a basket with some eggs and some vegetables in it.
The constable didn't pay much attention to it. The two of them were just discussing in a low voice, so they should be here.
When he was almost up to the old woman, she slipped and almost fell.
The constable who was close to her subconsciously reached out to help her.
"Old man, are you okay?"
The old woman hurriedly thanked him: "It's okay, it's okay, thank you very much, I'm old and useless."
She looked up at the constable and said, "Young man, you look unfamiliar. Are you here to visit relatives?"
The constable smiled and nodded: "Yes, I came here to visit relatives. I haven't been here for many years, so I can't remember clearly."
"Whose house are you looking for? Tell me. I've lived here all my life, and there's nothing I don't know."
She lowered her voice and said, "Old Li's son over there wants to marry the widow Liu in the village. Old Li doesn't know about this, but I do."
The constable suppressed his laughter and said, "You are really amazing, but we..."
Another detective asked, "Do you know if any relatives have come to visit recently? Are there any other unfamiliar people in the village?"
The two detectives looked at each other.
"Yes, our hometown was hit by a disaster, so several of us came out together to seek refuge with our relatives to see if there was any development here. But we met a group of bandits on the way and were dispersed."
"We wanted to see if they got there first."
The old woman thought about it seriously and said, "If you say so, it is true."
The constable's face lit up: "Where are they?"
The old woman turned around and pointed to a family not far away: "Look, this is the old Sun family. The Sun family's son Sun Dong is said to be doing some business outside. This time he came back with a few people."
"You've lived here for a while, but you're spending money lavishly. Tsk, young people don't know how to be frugal."
The constable had no intention of listening to her last few words and looked towards that family.
Sun Dong, the home of Mu Dong.
Right.
The two of them felt their hearts beat faster, this time they had accomplished something!
"Thank you, old man. That should be the person we are looking for. Let's go and take a look."
The old woman stopped them and said, "Let me take you there. They have a big yellow dog at home, but it is very shy. I often feed it and we are very familiar with it."
The constable didn't want the old woman to get involved, for fear that she might be hurt.
But then they thought, if there is a dog and they don't know where the dog is, it would be troublesome if the dog starts barking as soon as they go in and people run away.
Just as I was hesitating, the old woman was already leading the way enthusiastically.
"Come on, I'll take you there."
The two detectives quickly followed and said, "Old man, don't shout when we get to their house. Let's first check if they are our people. If they are, we will give them a surprise. If not, it will save them from embarrassment."
The old woman smiled and said, "Okay, you young people are more creative."
The constable thought to himself, why does this old man use such nonsense words? What does "many tricks" mean?
Forget it, why bother with her.
The two men were completely focused on catching the man, holding their breath and gripping the knife handles.
The distance was quite far, so Yan Ruyu couldn't see clearly what happened. She only saw the constable met an old woman and was led away by her.
"Why are these two people," Huo Changhe whispered, "letting an old man lead the way..."
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly stopped.
"Oops!"
The two constables entered the Sun family's yard. The yard was quite large and clean, with farm tools and other things placed against the wall.
There was no one in the yard and it was very quiet.
I didn't see any big yellow dog either.
One of the detectives asked, "Where is the dog?"
The old woman turned around and looked at them. Her bent back slowly straightened up. There was still a smile on her face, but it was completely different from before.
"Aren't you just dogs? Running dogs of the imperial court."
The two constables were startled and immediately drew their swords, but the old woman was faster than them.
The basket in her hand fell to the ground with a thud, and the eggs inside broke into pieces. The two detectives were stunned again.
She had a ferocious look on her face. She took out a dagger from the basket that was shining coldly. She moved quickly, accurately and ruthlessly, and swung it towards the necks of both of them.
The constable was shocked and quickly dodged backwards. The tip of the knife scratched his skin and a string of blood appeared instantly.
The two were terrified. If they had dodged a little slower, they would have been cut open and died immediately.
They managed to dodge with great difficulty, but the old woman did not stop and stabbed them again.
One of the constables blocked the attack with his half-drawn knife, but the other did not dodge.
A knife cut on the shoulder and blood immediately gushed out.
He felt pain and loosened his grip on the knife.
In a blink of an eye, with two slashes of the knife, both of them were injured.
At this moment, several people jumped out of the room, each holding a weapon in their hands.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the two men hurried to release a signal arrow, but as soon as they took it out, before it could be fired, it was cut off by the other party's sword.
The two of them felt a chill in their hearts. It was over. They would definitely die here this time.
He originally wanted to make a contribution, but ended up losing his life here.
However, it is not a bad thing. It can be considered a meaningful death. It is better than doing nothing all day and waiting to die.
I just don't know if I can get some pension if I die like this. After all, our family conditions are average, with elderly parents and young children to take care of, and it will be hard for my wife alone.
Governor Cao is a good man, he should give some, right?
Will the child be proud of him? Will he also be proud of his father?
However, in a flash, these thoughts flashed through the two of them.
But he didn't flinch.
The knife was unsheathed and the two men smiled at each other.
"Okay, this time we two brothers will die on the same day of the same month of the same year. This is good. We won't be lonely on the road to the underworld, and we can be together in the next life."
The old woman sneered: "Catch them, cut off their dog heads, and hang them at the gate of the government office, so that everyone can see the consequences of being a dog for the court!"
"Yes!"
All his men rushed forward.
