Chapter 270: The Missing Father-in-law


Chapter 270 The missing father-in-law can be said to have become a mess in the Jin Palace, not only because the condition of Zhu Li, the king of Jin, has deteriorated more and more, he has been unconscious several times, and he has little time to be awake, and even several imperial doctors from the capital are a little helpless.What's more, because Gonggong Xue, who came to Taiyuan to visit the King of Jin on behalf of the emperor, and Gonggong Qin in the palace of the King of Jin, went out seven days ago, they never came back, and no news came back.At the beginning, neither the prince Zhu Jixi nor the entourage who accompanied Father-in-law Xue to Taiyuan paid too much attention to it.Father-in-law Xue and Father-in-law Qin are old acquaintances, have a deep friendship, and they haven't seen each other for many years, and it is normal for the two to meet again after many years, and go to the city to find a place to catch up together.What's more, the two of them didn't leave alone, they both brought their entourage, Xue Gonggong had two cronies and eunuchs brought out from the palace to follow, and they were both masters, and Qin Gonggong took Xiao Liang with him.But it was normal for them not to return for one night, and it was not incomprehensible for a day or two, but after seven days, things were not so simple, and it was almost certain that something happened to the two fathers-in-law.Although this inference is taken for granted, it also makes the prince Zhu Jixi and others feel a little unbelievable.Not to mention the entourage brought by the two fathers-in-law, just Father-in-law Xue and Father-in-law Qin are all first-class masters!

Gonggong Qin was a super-first-class master more than ten years ago, and he was a master who had hit the realm of grandmasters, even if he is old now, his body has deteriorated, and his skills are not as good as they were back then, but his experience and vision are still there, and he is still the best among the many masters in the palace compared to his combat power.It is said that Gonggong Xue was able to break through and become a first-class master because of the allocation of Gonggong Qin.Although it is much worse than when Gonggong Qin was young, it is at least a first-class top level, and if he is thrown into the rivers and lakes, he is also a master who can enter the top 30 on the list.What can happen to these two masters like them in Taiyuan City that they haven't returned for seven days, and they haven't even sent anyone back to report the news?

It's just that this matter is not easy to make the whole city know, the two big eunuchs went out together, and then disappeared together, which is easy to give people a bad association, and it is also not good for the palace.Therefore, in addition to dispatching the masters of the palace and guarding the pro-army to search for secretly, the prince did not alarm too many people.He can only be sure now that the two fathers-in-law did not leave the city.With the clothes of the two fathers-in-law at that time, if they went out of the city, it was impossible for no one to see them along the way, and the city guards would definitely have an impression.Of course, if they were easy to pretend to be and deliberately low-key, it would be possible to blend out of the city, but I can't think of a reason why they would do so.On the ninth day of the disappearance of the two fathers-in-law, the second prince Zhu Jiye volunteered to ask the elder brother of the prince for his life, and he had a way to find the two missing fathers-in-law.Shizi naturally sent someone to Zhu Jiye and asked him to find someone in line with the idea of being a dead horse as a live horse doctor.And Zhu Jiye took people and did not immediately start looking for the whereabouts of the two fathers-in-law, but first found Qu Hao, the head catcher of the Taiyuan Mansion.This Qu Ho is called "Qu Erlang", not because he is the second in the family, but because he has two extremely capable tracking dogs, and everyone compares him to Yang Jian, the god of Erlang.When the "Flower Dance Fight" was held in Lianhualou, Tang Jian's flying knife was stolen by Wang Ge, and Huang Fuyuan asked someone to ask Qu Hao to take his tracking dog to help find it.It's just that at that time, Wang Ge had Wang Gu on his body, and the tracking dog was intimidated by the breath left by Wang Gu, and he didn't dare to follow the taste at all.In fact, it is not the first time that the second prince Zhu Jiye has looked for Qu Hao.Last time, Zhu Jiye happened to see the side face of a young girl peeking out of the car window in a convoy, and was amazed by this shocking glance, so he sent three guards to follow him, wanting them to wait for the opportunity to snatch it in a place where no one was there - this is not the first time he has done such a thing, and he has people who can be moved by the nearby guards and cottages.But unexpectedly, the three guards never returned, and there was no news directly, and after more than half a month, he sent several groups of people, but they couldn't find a trace.After receiving an offering from the palace, he went to the palace to find Qu Hao, and ordered him to find a few guards, to see people in life and corpses in death.But so much time has passed, the smell has basically dissipated, if you can find traces such as bloodstains, it would be good to say, but according to the direction roughly pointed by the second prince, I couldn't find anything at all, just relying on the smell source of clothes and other things, I couldn't find any clues.Even though he knew that it was unlikely to be found, Qu Hao still didn't dare to slack off, and spent more than a whole month, sleeping in the open air, and searching for hundreds of miles outside, but in the end he still found nothing, so he had no choice but to go back and make a difference.For the second prince Zhu Jiye, although the three guards were his cronies, he was a merciless person, and he didn't remember the three more, but more because he was annoyed that someone dared to do something to his guards, or those three guys dared to say goodbye without saying goodbye.For more than a month, I have almost forgotten it.And when Qu Hao came back to report, it made Zhu Jiye furious, thinking that Qu Hao was lazy and slippery, and he didn't do his best, whether the three of them were dead or alive, it was impossible to find no trace at all!

So in a fit of rage, he directly ordered someone to kill one of Qu Hao's tracking dogs, and the remaining one would have been killed directly if it wasn't for Qu Hao's protection.And Qu Haohu broke two ribs and lay on the bed for a month.Now after two years, I saw the second prince again, and this time the other party came directly to the door, but Qu Hao behaved very calmly, kneeling and bowing calmly, very obedient, as if the humiliation and grievances he suffered last time had been forgotten.Zhu Jiye naturally didn't feel that what he did last time was excessive, but felt that he had messed up his errand, and he didn't punish him more, but just killed a dog and spared him, which was extremely lenient."

Qu Erlang!

Is your dog still there?

Last time you failed to do a good job, this time you will be given a chance to atone for your sins!

If you can find these people, you will be rewarded for coming back!

”Zhu Jiye gestured to the entourage who followed next to him, and the latter immediately stepped forward with a plate of silver covered with silk cloth and placed it in front of Qu Hao."

Thank Your Highness for the reward, the villain will live up to His Highness's trust!"

Qu Hao glanced at the plate of silver ingots, bowed to the ground again, and shouted in a raised voice.In the corner of the courtyard, a black hound bared its teeth and barked at the second prince and his men, it was the tracking dog that Qu Ho had left, and apparently remembered the man who killed his companion and wounded his master.
