Cao Miao had already discussed the inquiry plan with Xiahou Xuan on the road. After raising threatening words and suppressing the relevant personnel of Zhijinwu Temple, he retreated aside and looked at everyone coldly, making everyone creepy and dared not even dare to show off.

In a separate room, Xiahou Xuan took turns calling the people on duty last night to inquire, and marked the routes they patrolled last night on the map one by one. He was not limited to the time when the assassin appeared last night, but the whole night. Even if they did not see it with their own eyes or hear it with their own ears, as long as they felt abnormal, they could say anything.

Because of worrying that it is inconsistent with its companions and being mistaken for lying, everyone is very cautious and recalls carefully.

The person who was not questioned was waiting obediently. Under Cao Miao's stare, he didn't even dare to whisper. He consciously separated the distance, waited quietly, and wrote a script. After asking, he could not leave, and waited aside for further inquiries.

Some waiters brought wine and food, but no one dared to use it.

Only Zang Ba was drinking slowly and looking through the official documents casually, occasionally tracing the mind and a little absent-minded.

Zang Ai went to Xiahou Xuan several times and greeted Cao Miao. Xiahou Xuan was very polite. Every time he stood up and returned the favor, Cao Miao did not move and ignored him, just pretending that he had not seen him. Seeing Cao Miao so inhumane, Zang Ai didn't dare to say anything, and the others did not dare to be careless at all.

The school affairs are notorious, so try not to provoke them if you can. Although this person is young, he looks like he is not good at it and holds a gold medal in the school affairs, so it is better to stay away from him.

After a whole night of inquiry, Xiahou Xuan sorted out the situation of the pike who was on duty near his house last night based on the statements of each person, and drew a picture, connecting several suspicious points, and vaguely seeing the route of the assassin's escape.

The end point is to the good place where Wang Ji lives, and time is around dawn.

No one has seen the assassin, only one has seen the assassin's back. His judgment is similar to Cao Miao. The assassin is about seven feet, three inches to five inches tall, with agile body and flexible movements. He easily flips over the inner wall of two feet high. He should be a master.

He also provided information that this person may use some kind of tool to climb the wall. What kind of tool is required for on-site inspection.

After leaving Zhi Jinwu Temple, Xiahou Xuan was a little excited and planned to go to Shanli again immediately.

Cao Miao refused. He asked Xiahou Xuan to send someone to Shanli to monitor Wang Ji's residence, but not to put it on the surface, but to secretly monitor it to see if anyone will approach in the past two days. It can be seen from the testimony from Zhi Jinwu Temple that it was already dawn when the assassin returned to Shanli, and he might not have seen Wang Ji. If he didn't know Wang Ji's other residence, he would probably return to Shanli and wait for Wang Ji to come forward.

Cao Miao suggested that Xiahou Xuan arrange Xiong Meng to execute this matter. Xiong Meng is good at martial arts and is agile. He has also seen the figure of an assassin. If the assassin appears, he may recognize it and arrest him. Xiong Meng has rich military experience and considerable command ability.

Cao Miao arranged for his own people to do the rest. First, let Zhang Wei and Han Long find out the news among the Rangers to see if there are any such Rangers; second, let Shi Caiying contact Hu Ji from various residences and find out Wang Ji's whereabouts.

From Shanli Lizheng's mouth, he learned that Wang Ji's wife was not by his side, and only two concubines were waiting for his daily life. These two concubines were bought after they arrived in Luoyang, and were not brought from Dongjun. Considering Wang Ji's identity and the quality of the concubines he bought, the traffickers who bought people should have an impression. If the appearance, age, or even relatives and friends of the two concubines could be found, it was possible to find Wang Ji through them.

Xiahou Xuan could not do these things. There was no such person in his world.

Cao Miao arranged another task for him: to find Gao Xun, ask about Sun Yong and Cang Ji's situation, and then go home and have a good sleep. Without a good rest for two consecutive nights, Xiahou Xuan was very excited, but his body was obviously exhausted.

Xiahou Xuan obeyed his orders and acted separately with Cao Miao.

Cao Miao returned to Princess Deyang's Mansion and fell asleep. When he woke up, it was already evening.

Opening his eyes, he saw Shi Caiying squatting at the door, holding a handful of pine nuts in his hand, "Click" and knocking happily like a squirrel. Sheets of pine nut shells flew out of her mouth and fell all over the ground. The setting sun shone in, landing on her silhouette, outlining her slender waist and peach-shaped buttocks.

Cao Miao couldn't help laughing. The girl on the grassland was precocious and had a very good figure.

Among the Four Beards, Shi Caiying is different from the other three. She has never been to bed, and even hides from him intentionally or unintentionally. Most of the time she is outside inquiring about information to avoid contact with him. But when she heard that he was in trouble, she rushed back as soon as possible.

Hearing the sound of the bed, Shi Caiying turned her head and looked at him. Seeing Cao Miao looking at him with a smile, she was stunned for a moment, and then stood up.

"I've heard some news," she said.

Cao Miao nodded, turned over and sat up. "Tell me, look."

"The two concubines Wang Ji bought were very expensive, not because they looked good, but because they were literate. Wang Ji had the habit of letting his concubines read."

"What kind of book should I read?"

"It is mainly Confucian classics, but I seem to be reading "Laozi" and "Zhuangzi" recently. Famous scholars in the capital like to talk about the mystery. Apart from "Yi", they are the most popular "Laozi" and "Zhuangzi".

"There shouldn't be many women who can read these books."

Shi Caiying agreed with Cao Miao's analysis. "So it is unlikely that Wang Ji will sell those two people. If you can find the traces of these two people, you may find Wang Ji's hiding place. Wang Ji himself lives in a quiet place, but these two concubines are going out to buy food, so it is more likely to meet them."

Cao Miao thought about it carefully. "Do you know the location of buying vegetables in Luoyang City?"

"vegetables?"

"Grain can be stored for a period of time, but the vegetables are not as good as they are not as good as they can, so they must be purchased frequently. Ordinary people grow their own vegetables. Wang Ji does not grow vegetables in Shanli, nor does he like to interact with neighbors. He goes out to buy vegetables every day. There should be not many places like this. The concubine has no carriages and horses to carry on, so it is not too far from the market. Under normal circumstances, the walking distance will not exceed three miles. If you know the location of buying vegetables, you may find him within the range of three miles."

Shi Caiying thought for a moment. "What if he lived in someone else's house?"

"It's just a possibility, just pay attention. Finding someone is like finding a needle in a haystack, and you can't let go of any valuable clue."

Cao Miao got out of bed and stretched out his feet to wear shoes. Shi Caiying hesitated for a moment, but still squatted in front of Cao Miao and put on shoes for him. Cao Miao looked at her straight nose and suddenly said, "Has anyone among your relatives been hurt by a man?"

Shi Caiying was stunned for a moment, raised her head, looked at Cao Miao, and tilted the corner of her mouth. "No. I just don't like men."

"Do you like women?"

Shi Caiying raised her eyebrows, and the smile on the corner of her mouth flashed. "Yes, I like women."

Cao Miao didn't say anything else, turned around and took a flying pick, and handed it to Shi Caiying.
