To Hold One’s Joy

  Chapter 268 is missing

  Zhu Hanshuang has been running frequently to a wine shop in the past few days, and his eyes are always glued to King Kaiyang, Luo Sheng can see this clearly.

  Including the intensified targeting by the opponent every time they met after returning from the south, it is also related to Miss Luo tearing off the belt of King Kaiyang.

   Miss Zhu's heart is happy with King Kaiyang, it's obvious.

  She didn't have any idea at first, who has feelings for whom and who has intentions for whom, this is everyone's choice and freedom.

  But what she didn't expect was that Zhu Hanshuang would kill someone out of jealousy.

  If Zhu Hanshuang was indeed instigating this matter, then she couldn't just laugh it off as a little girl who was ignorant.

   "Where is Xiaoqi?" Although Wei Han felt that Luo Sheng looked at him a little strangely, he didn't think much about it, and asked the question that he was most concerned about right now.

   "It is said that Xiao Qi was hidden on an unmanned boat parked by the shore." Shi Yi replied.

   "Let him lead the way." Wei Han stepped onto the boat where Shi Yi was, turned around and extended his hand to Luo Sheng.

  Luo Sheng ignored the hand and got on the boat steadily.

   Wei Han retracted his hand without changing his face, and looked at the middle-aged man in the tent.

  The middle-aged man couldn't see any trauma, but his face was as pale as a ghost, as if he was fished out of the ice water in the cold winter months.

  Luo Sheng could not help but glance at Shi Yi.

  She still remembered how honest and obedient the personal guard of King Kaiyang was when they were in Beihe paddock. When everyone gathered for dinner, even the deliciously roasted venison would not let his eyes wander.

  It turns out that they are not honest, but low-key.

   "Where is the ship?" Wei Han asked.

  The middle-aged man moved his eyelids, and stretched out his finger with difficulty: "It's on the shore facing the reeds."

  Looking at the past, you can see the shadows of the shore and the shadows of ships.

  Shi Yi steered the boat towards that direction.

   "Are you the driver of An Guogong's mansion?"

  The middle-aged man nodded.

   Wei Han chuckled: "A coachman also needs to hide poison in his teeth?"

  If even the coachman in Anguo Gong's mansion has the ability of half a dead man, then An Guo's mansion will be interesting.

He said he was half a dead man, because Wei Han found that the time for this person to resist interrogation was a bit shorter than that of a real dead man, and he seemed to be eliminated because he was unqualified, or he had been away from that kind of life for a long time and had lost his skills. .

   "What were you doing before you became a coachman?"

  The middle-aged man's lips moved, but he didn't say a word.

   Wei Han looked at him and said indifferently, "I advise you not to ask for trouble."

  The middle-aged man's face suddenly changed, and one eyebrow trembled unconsciously.

  Finally, he spoke: "I was a ranger before—"

   Wei Han sneered: "You Xiaer is not like you, it seems that the interrogation of you just now was not enough."

The middle-aged man's complexion changed, and he was finally defeated by the playful eyes of the other party. He said with difficulty: "I used to be a killer. Eight years ago, I was seriously injured on a mission and was rescued by the people of An Guogong's mansion. Afterwards, he didn’t go back, but entered An Guogong’s mansion as a groom.”

   "Is the person who ordered you to kidnap Xiaoqi and kill the cook the same person who saved you?" Luo Sheng asked suddenly.

  The middle-aged man denied without hesitation: "No!"

  Luo Sheng and Wei Han looked at each other.

   It is obvious that this person maintains the savior.

   "Who is that?" Luo Sheng asked immediately.

  The middle-aged man lowered his eyelids and spit out a few words: "Second girl of Anguo Gongfu."

  Luo Sheng smiled coldly: "It really is her."

  Wei Han couldn't help but look at her, thinking that Miss Luo is so perceptive, she had already guessed that she was the second girl from the Duke's Mansion of Anguo.

  An Guogong's second girl?

   Wei Han tried his best to recall, and a certain scene flashed in his mind.

  Remembered, I left the restaurant after eating that day, and met a girl who asked him where to buy hibiscus flowers.

  The girl introduced herself, saying that she is the second girl of Anguo Gongfu.

  At that time, I felt that Miss Zhu's words and deeds were a bit weird...

   "Did the prince also guess it?"

   Wei Han hesitated for a moment.

  He actually didn't guess.

   Even if a girl behaves strangely, it doesn't immediately occur to her that she will kill someone.

   However, Miss Luo has already thought about it, if he denies it...it seems a bit stupid.

  Luo Sheng took Wei Han's hesitation as a default, pursed his lips and asked the middle-aged man: "Where is Miss Zhu Er? Waiting for your news at the Duke's Mansion?"

  The middle-aged man nodded.

  Luo Sheng sneered: "It seems that the person who rescued you in An Guogong's mansion has an unusual identity."

   Taking a full view of the subtle changes in the middle-aged man's expression, Luo Sheng pulled the corner of his lips: "Could it be Mr. An or Mrs. An?"

If the person who rescued the middle-aged man was only a servant of Duke Anguo's mansion, it would not be difficult for a decent servant in the mansion to arrange a job of raising horses for him, but it would be easy for Miss Zhu to notice a groom and know his skills, and save him The identity of this person is probably not simple.

  The middle-aged man did not answer Luo Sheng's words.

  Luo Sheng smiled indifferently: "It's okay if you don't say it, the most important thing right now is Xiaoqi's safety."

   Talking like this, the boat has already docked.

   There are several boats parked on the shore, some big and some small. With the faint light, it can be seen that they are all abandoned boats, some of which have decayed.

   "Which one?" Wei Han asked.

  The middle-aged man pointed his finger: "The biggest tented boat."

   "Take care of him." Wei Han ordered Shi Yi and got off the boat.

  Luo Sheng raised the skirt and silently followed.

   Wei Han glanced at her.

"I am coming too."

   Wei Han nodded, and said in a low voice, "Be careful of slipping your feet."

  The shore is wet and muddy, and there is a soft feeling when you step on it, which makes people's heart go up and down.

   Wei Han held an oil lamp to illuminate the hull of the boat.

  The hull of the ship is mottled, and a damp and decaying smell hits the face.

  According to what the middle-aged man said, Xiao Qi is in the cabin.

   Wei Han didn't rush to get on the boat, but carefully looked at it by the light of the oil lamp. When his sight fell on a certain place on the board, his eyes tightened.

   Judging by experience, it is blood that has dried up.

   "Wait for me here." Wei Han put down a sentence and quickly entered the cabin.

  There is no accumulation of sundries in the tent cabin, so it looks extraordinarily empty.

  There are ropes scattered on the board, and there is a pool of blood.

   Wei Han took a look at the rope and backed out.

   "Xiaoqi isn't inside?" Although Luo Sheng waited outside and didn't see all this, he instinctively sensed something was wrong.

   Wei Han shook his head: "Xiaoqi is not here, there are cut ropes and blood inside."

  Luo Sheng's face changed suddenly, he took the oil lamp from Wei Han's hand and went into the cabin to check.

  The pool of blood on the board is particularly shocking.

  Shaking the hand holding the oil lamp, Luo Sheng returned quickly, grabbed the middle-aged man by the skirt and asked, "Where is Xiao Qi? Didn't you say you hid him here, why is there only blood and no one inside?"

  The middle-aged man couldn't hide his shock: "Impossible, I was the only one who arranged this from the beginning to the end. I fed Xiaoqi the drug and tied him up and hid him here..."

  Hearing these words, Luo Sheng suddenly let go of the other party's lapel, and reached into his arms.
