Wu Chao: Take the whole family to escape the famine

Chapter 1049
When they came to the place where the carriage turned around, Shen Yue looked around and found nothing wrong.

There are several big mountains in front, and several villages at the foot of the mountains. They are shaded by green trees and still look impressive. They should be villas built outside the city by the city's dignitaries.

No one was seen, everything was quiet.

"It's strange. Could it be that I'm overthinking it?" Shen Yue frowned, "I'd better try to find out who is on that carriage."

While muttering to Shen Yugu, he turned back and used Qinggong to move forward.

Soon I caught up with Jiang Yue.

"Sister Jiang Yuyu, follow the carriage. I'll overtake you to the city gate and ask the guards to check the carriage."

"Okay." Just as Jiang Yuyu responded, he saw a beautiful figure flash past, and Shen Yuyu disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Jiang Yuyu sighed in shame.

"Sigh~ My kung fu is really far behind my cousin's. I still have to practice hard.'

At the gate of the city, the carriage with a green roof appeared. Shen Yuhu deliberately lined up in the team leaving the city and looked at it nonchalantly.

The driver was a gorgeous woman, probably a girl from a brothel. This was enough to prove that Jiang Yuyu was right, the carriage was leaving from a brothel.

At this time, the guard stopped the carriage, lifted the curtain and looked around.

Shen Yuyu had sharp eyes. The moment the guard lifted up the curtain of the car, he saw that the car was empty and there was nothing.

"?" Is there such a thing? Shen Yuyu frowned unconsciously. Could it be that Jiang Yuyu was wrong last night?
No, Sister Jiang Yuyu couldn't have targeted it without aim. What's more, there was something wrong with this carriage to begin with. It left the city early in the morning, and then suddenly turned around after reaching that location. What was the fuss about?
"What are you doing out of the city?" the guard asked over there.

The girl said softly, "Hey, sir, why don't you want me to go out of town for a walk? Is this illegal?"

"Isn't that true, but there is always a purpose for leaving the city, right?"

"There is no purpose. I was scolded by the mother in the building and I was in a bad mood. I went out to take a breather."

"Well, let's go." The guard didn't find anything useful and let him go.

After the carriage left, the guard came over to report to Shen Yuyu.

"Report to the princess, there is nothing in the carriage."

Shen Yue: "Did you check it when you left the city?'

"No." The guard replied honestly, "There is no order from above, and we can't just check it out casually."

"Okay, it's none of your business, but I know that I am here today, so you know and I don't want to let the third person know."

"Yes, I obey." The guard nodded and retreated.

"Sister Yu Yu, what did you find out?" Jiang Yu Yu came in from outside the city, walked to Shen Yu Yu and asked in a low voice.

'No, nothing, the car is empty.'

"Impossible." Jiang Yuyu looked strange. "I clearly saw them carrying a sack into the car. I didn't lie. I dared to use the head on my neck as a guarantee."

"I believe you, there is no need to use your head as a guarantee." Shen Yuxi rubbed Jiang Yuxi's melon seeds and analyzed, "The people they put on the carriage may have two destinations. One is to move before leaving the city, and the other is to move after leaving the city. ”

"Then it must have been before leaving the city." Jiang Yuyu said, "I didn't see anyone or a car after leaving the city. It's impossible to disappear out of thin air."

Shen Yue shook his head.

"We can't be so sure. We are far apart, so we can't easily determine what happened after the carriage stopped."

"Okay." Jiang Yuyu touched his forehead, "Then how to investigate next? All the clues have been interrupted again."

Shen Yugu frowned in thought.

"The clues are indeed broken, but we have also gained something."

"First, there must be something wrong with the brothel next to Yongsheng Trading Company. Second, someone was transported out of the brothel." Jiang Yuyu pouted, "How can this be considered a gain? Isn't it common for brothels to transport people out?"

Shen Yue smiled and said nothing.

No one knows Wei Yan better than her. If Yongsheng Trading Company is really Wei Yan's property, then it is very possible to dig a tunnel from the mansion to the brothel.

In this case, the person transported out of the brothel this morning is most likely Wang Qiu, "Prince Rui's daughter."

If this inference is correct, it means that the people hiding behind Wei Yan took action.

Just take action, but what I'm afraid of is that if he doesn't take action, there will be no trace to follow.

And once the action is taken, there will definitely be clues left behind, and the truth will surely be revealed slowly. By then, the Peach Blossom Alliance Yongsheng Trading Company and others will be eradicated.

While I was deep in thought, a carriage passed by.

"It's Marquis Duan's carriage. He's carrying the birdcage out of the city to catch insects for his thrush."

Jiang Yuyu recognized this carriage. He had seen it with Shen Yuyu on the street before.
When Shen Yuyu turned around to look, the carriage had already gone straight out of the city gate.

There was a crowd of people at the city gate, and Mr. Duan probably didn't recognize her.

"Is it possible that there are more insects in the west of the city? Why does Mr. Duan always come to the west of the city to catch insects?" Jiang Yuyu said in confusion.

Shen Yue shrugged his shoulders.

"There are a lot of rice fields in the west of the city, so we must be catching insects on the seedlings."

"Yes, I know that there is a kind of small caterpillar that likes to roll up grass leaves and hide in them. It is probably this kind of insect that Mr. Duan is going to catch."

As they talked, the two entered the city and returned to the Night King's Mansion.

At noon, the secret guard came to report.

"The woman who entered the house yesterday was not seen leaving Murong Mansion, but she discovered something else."

"Several carriages came to Fufu last night to transport some goods, and our people followed them all the way to Dingjiang Wharf."

"I thought the bags contained some rice grains, but when the goods were put on the cargo ship, one of the sacks somehow came loose, and a child wrapped in a quilt fell out of it."

Shen Yue was shocked when he heard this and stood up.

"So those sacks contain abducted children?"

"Maybe it's not necessarily children, but also women. Some of the sacks are very big and heavy."

"It's so hateful. There were at least fifty in yesterday's batch." Shen Yue clenched his fists fiercely, "It seems that Murong Mansion is really the home of the Peach Blossom Alliance."

"Yes." The secret guard nodded, "Should we report it to Dali Temple and ask them to send someone to take care of the Murong Mansion?"

After hearing this, Shen Yuyu's mind suddenly changed.

No wonder they wanted to marry Murong Jiao and Jiang Liangcai. Was it because they wanted Jiang Wenwen, who was Zuo Shaoqing of Dali Temple, to protect them? Or was it because they were both Wei Yan's subordinates and the marriage was just to make their relationship closer?
Seeing Shen Yuyu standing there stunned, the secret guard asked again.

"Princess? Do you want to report this matter to Dali Temple? Let them intercept the cargo ship?"

"No, there is no need to report it to Dali Temple." Shen Yuyu waved his hand, "There is a spy in Dali Temple, and Zuo Shaoqing Jiang Wenwen is with them."

"Send someone to keep an eye on the cargo ship to see where it is going, but don't do anything, so as not to disturb the big fish behind it."

"Yes." The dark guard took the order and left.

As soon as he left, Shadow sent someone to deliver a letter. It was from Lin Yi's trip to the Western Regions. Shen Yuyu hurriedly took it and opened the letter.
