Chapter 270 Wen Zhiheng
Yun Fuling sighed quietly to herself.
She looked up to the end of the woods and seemed to hear the sound of waves. Even the air had a salty and humid smell of sea water.
She guessed that the disappearance of Xiao Jingyi and Zuo Yan might be related to the Japanese they met that night.
There is an 80% chance that Xiao Jingyi and his men have sneaked onto the Japanese fleet.
Otherwise, with his abilities, it would be impossible that not even the slightest bit of information could be passed on.
There is no way that Shadow Blade Division cannot find any trace of them in Jinzhou City.
Unless they are no longer in Golden State.
But it was above the sea, so the communication was cut off.
If this is the case, then things will be a bit tricky.
After a while, Yun Fuling withdrew her gaze from the distance.
No matter how difficult things are, she must find Xiao Jingyi!
Yun Fuling's gaze fell back on Tian Quan and said, "You guys continue to keep an eye on what's happening in Xiaoyue Bay."
"Please do me one more thing. Check if there is a boat that can go out to sea. I want to go out to sea."
When it comes to knowing more about Jinzhou news, Tianquan, who arrived some time earlier, is definitely better than those brought by Yun Fuling.
What's more, Tianquan is helping Xiao Jingyi investigate smuggling, so he must know a lot about maritime affairs.
It shouldn't be difficult to find a ship that can go out to sea.
This is not difficult for Tianquan.
But when Yun Fuling suddenly said that she was going to go out to sea, Tian Quan couldn't help but flash a hint of surprise in his eyes.
In an instant, he seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes slowly widened.
The expression on his face suddenly became serious, and he said solemnly: "I know where to get a boat. The princess can go to sea in two days at the latest."
Yun Fuling nodded, and seeing that it was getting late, she said, "I am now living in the winter courtyard of Rugui Tower. If you have any news, you can go to Rugui Tower to find me."
"It's very cold now, you guys have worked hard here."
"I'll have someone send you some hot soup and hot meals every day."
The subordinates work loyally, so Yun Fuling, as their master, naturally has to show concern for them.
Loyalty never comes in a vacuum.
When Tianquan heard this, a trace of emotion flashed across his face.
They have been drinking cold water and eating cold steamed buns these days.
It’s not that it’s hard to find a place to make a fire in the forest, but once a fire is made, smoke will inevitably rise and be noticed.
Now that Yun Fuling was considerate of them and wanted to bring them hot soup and hot meals, Tian Quan was naturally happy to thank her on behalf of his men.
Yun Fuling and Tian Quan met in the woods. At the same time, in a courtyard of the Wen family's main residence, a servant in blue clothes entered the main house carrying a boiled medicine soup.
"Master, the medicine is ready."
Wen Zhiheng, the eldest son of the Wen family, was leaning against the head of the bed reading a book, and he seemed to hear nothing.
Wen Zhiheng's personal attendant Mo Shu stepped forward to take the medicine bowl and sent the servant who delivered the medicine away.
Mo Shu looked at Wen Zhiheng who was still reading and advised: "Master, the doctor said that you need to take good care of yourself. Reading is detrimental to your health. You should read less in the future, right?"
Wen Zhiheng flipped a page of the book and said without raising his head, "It's so boring lying in bed all day. There's nothing else to do except reading books, so I came here to kill time."
After he finished speaking, he looked up at the medicine in Mo Shu's hand, frowned and said, "Put it aside for a while, I'll drink it later."
When Mo Shu heard this, he knew that the eldest young master disliked the taste of the medicine and didn't want to drink it at the moment.
He was just about to say a few more words of advice when a figure suddenly climbed in through the window.
When Mo Shu saw the man's face clearly, he immediately swallowed back the exclamation that was about to come to his lips.
When Wen Zhiheng saw the person coming, a bright light flashed in his eyes.
He said to Mo Shu, "Go guard the door and don't let anyone get close."
Mo Shu nodded in understanding and immediately went to guard the door.
Wen Zhiheng looked at the visitor and said, "Uncle Hong, have you found out the whereabouts and identity of the assassin that night?"
The man called Uncle Hong by Wen Zhiheng was a burly man in his forties.
This person was the one who was peeping in Jinyu Tower with Zhao Xuesi that night, but accidentally made a noise and was discovered, which also implicated Zhao Xuesi.
That night, Uncle Hong wore black clothes and a mask, and he took the opportunity to slip away. Therefore, Wen Zhao's people searched everywhere in the city these days, but did not find him.
However, Zhao Xuesi was not careful that night. His face mask fell off during the fight and his face was seen by others.
That night, Uncle Hong came back to report, and Wen Zhiheng asked him to find Zhao Xuesi's whereabouts and protect him.
Although Wen Zhiheng was recuperating at home and seemed to be unconcerned about anything, nothing that happened outside could be hidden from him.
Since the death of their father, the second branch of the Wen family has revealed its ambitions.
While he was bedridden, he joined forces with other members of the clan in an attempt to seize power.
Wen Zhiheng originally wanted to find an opportunity to clean up the Wen family. Seeing this, he took advantage of the situation and made the second branch of the Wen family think that they were really in power.
Unexpectedly, after the people from the second house took control of the family, they became even bolder.
Not only did they cooperate with the Japanese, they also engaged in smuggling business.
He also secretly sold golden ointment in the Jinyu Tower.
It was the second in command who noticed something was wrong and reported it to Wen Zhiheng.
But it was already too late by then, as many people in the city had become addicted to the golden paste.
After Wen Zhiheng found out what the golden paste was, he was so angry that he almost fainted.
The people from the second house got such a harmful thing to sell in Jinyulou, which would sooner or later alert the government.
If the government officials come to investigate, will the second branch destroy the entire Wen family?
And more importantly, Wen Zhiheng discovered a secret of Wen Zhao.
This secret made Wen Zhiheng feel that the entire Wen family seemed to be dragged into a conspiracy.
If they were not careful, the entire Wen clan would be killed without a burial place.
Although there are some parasites and scum in the Wen family, Wen Zhiheng wants to clean them out.
But the rest of the Wen family is the responsibility of Wen Zhiheng, the head of the family.
He must protect the Wen family.
So when Wen Zhiheng learned that there was a group of people who were investigating Wen Zhao like him, he began to think about cooperating.
There are some things that he cannot accomplish alone.
Uncle Hong shook his head and said, "The man in Jinyu Tower that night seemed to have disappeared out of thin air. Not only me, but Wen Zhao also had people search the entire Jinzhou City, and they were almost digging three feet underground, but they still couldn't catch him."
To be able to hide so well under the noses of the Wen family, he must be either a very capable person or he is already dead.
If it's the former, Uncle Hong really wants to get to know him better.
When Wen Zhiheng learned that no one was found, there was a hint of disappointment in his eyes.
"Forget it. I don't know who he is, whether he's a friend or an enemy. I want to form an alliance with him just because he was spying on Wen Zhao in Jinyu Tower. I'm desperate and trying all kinds of tricks."
"After all, hope cannot be placed on others!"
Wen Zhiheng paused and asked, "Have you found out the identity of the man in the cloak that Wen Zhao went to meet?"
