[Comprehensive] leaning on flowers and bamboo

When Gongsun Ce came to the Yamen, a group of people surrounded the door, and was stopped by the government's Yamen. Gongsun Ce stopped at the door before leading Bai Yutang inside.

Huamanlou's whereabouts were unknown, Taoist Jiumo died tragically, and the sleeping monk appeared. So many things happened in just one morning, which gave Gongsun Ce a headache. This case is really much more troublesome than the previous cases.

When he came to the morgue, Gongsun Ce washed his hands, glanced at the rest of the people standing at the door, "It's fine for you to stay outside, I'll go in by myself."

"Mr. Gongsun, be careful."

"It's just a dead person, it's okay."

Bai Yutang stood there struggling for a while. He never liked such a place, but when he watched Gongsun Ce walk up to the corpse and began to examine the corpse, he still couldn't help but lift his foot and enter the door, pursing his lips, with an expression of displeasure and disapproval on his face. do not adapt.

Gongsun Ce, who was bent over, looked up at Bai Yutang, and couldn't help laughing: "If you can't get used to it, just wait for me outside, and I'll be out in a while."

"Brother Gongsun, I'm fine." Bai Yutang stood by the side with a heroic expression on his face, and asked, "Isn't Taoist Jiumo really good at kung fu? Why did he die so badly? His heart was broken. It must be his guilt." You are an expert at home, but Brother Gongsun, didn’t you just say that Wu Zuo has already checked it, why do you want to check it yourself?”

"There are some details I want to see for myself."

It's not that Gongsun Ce doesn't believe in Wu Zuo, it's just that he is worried about missing details.

Fingertips checked the naked upper body and pressed on the chest and ribs. Gongsun Ce frowned. It was true that he died from a broken heart, but... the bruises caused by the fan handle on his chest made Gongsun Ce frowned. Ce frowned.Is it really full of flowers?Impossible, based on what he knew about Huamanlou, Huamanlou never killed people.

He checked the ear, nose and throat again to confirm that the death was not caused by poisoning or other reasons. Gongsun Ce felt a little helpless.

All signs point to Huamanlou, and...

Suddenly, Taoist Jiumo found a thread between his fingers, which seemed to be hooked from his clothes. Gongsun Ce picked it up, squinted his eyes to observe carefully, suddenly widened his eyes, and held the end of the thread in his palm.

"Yutang, have you seen Huamanlou's move against Taoist Jiumo last time?"

"Are you referring to the move of waving your sleeves to repel it? I have seen Brother Hua use it before, but I have never seen this kind of move before, and I have never heard of such a powerful move in the world. I don't know where it came from. , but Big Brother Hua looks really good when using it, like flowing water."

"Do you know what kind of clothes your elder brother Hua is wearing when he went out this morning?"

"It's the one with cirrus embroidery on the cuff—Brother Gongsun, what's wrong with you?" After finishing speaking, Bai Yutang suddenly felt that Gongsun Ce's question was very strange, so he couldn't help asking: "What did you find?"

Gongsun Ce clenched the things in his hands, as if if he let go, he would send Hua Manlou to the guillotine.

Shaking his head, he said, "Taoist Jiumo did die from a broken heart, and was shot to death by someone with high internal strength. The bruise on his chest was caused by the handle of the fan..."

"Brother Gongsun, are you okay?"

Bai Yutang knew that Gongsun Ce was worried about Huamanlou, but seeing Gongsun Ce like this, Huamanlou was even more worried, and wanted to say something to comfort him, but when the words came to his lips, he didn't know what to say, so he turned around and said Swallow it.

When they left the yamen, the people who gathered at the door to make trouble had already left. The yamen saw that Gongsun Ce's face was not very good, and knew that he was a person related to Beijing. Ce admired it: "Mr. Gongsun, you don't look very good, don't you worry?"

Hearing this, Gongsun Ce waved his hand and said: "It's okay, if your lord wakes up, please notify me immediately, and also, send someone to protect your lord for twelve hours."

"Yes, subordinates know."

Back at Hua's house, Uncle Hua stood in the hall, walking back and forth anxiously. When he saw Gongsun Ce, his eyes lit up, and he stepped forward and said, "Mr. Gongsun, do you know the whereabouts of my young master?"

"Not yet, but don't worry, Huamanlou is not weak, so nothing will happen."

"But the young master has disappeared... Now the young master is still unconscious, should I send someone to Suzhou to inform the master and the others?"

"No, it will only cause more trouble. You can arrange the affairs of the mansion normally in the past few days, and I will take care of the rest." After Gongsun Ce finished speaking, he pressed the center of his eyebrows, feeling a little uncomfortable.

Seeing him, Bai Yutang next to him hurriedly said: "Uncle Hua, I know you are worried, but Brother Gongsun has a lot of things to deal with now, and Brother Hua will be fine, so you can rest assured."

Uncle Hua could only sigh, said a few more polite words to Gongsun Ce, and went down.

Gongsun Ce sat on the chair, thinking of what he had just discovered, he couldn't help but think of the search results from Wang Chao and Ma Han, and he didn't know what was going on now, where did Hua Manlou go, and why did the Sleeping Monk appear at this time? It would be a coincidence, otherwise Huamanlou would not be able to disappear without leaving anything behind.

What is the reason why Huamanlou chased the sleeping monk away.

"Mr. Gongsun, there is a whereabouts!"

"What? Where?"

"In..." Wang Chao looked masculine, hesitated for a while and said, "Please ask Mr. Gongsun to come with me."

Gongsun Ce was stunned, and after a while he came back to his senses and said, "Lead the way ahead."

Bai Yutang stood up from one side, followed behind Gongsun Ce and Wang Chao, looking at Gongsun Ce who was silent in front of him, his expression was full of worry - something happened to Hua Manlou, otherwise Wang Chao couldn't have such an expression, Moreover, if Huamanlou was found missing, Wang Chao and Ma Han would definitely come back when they saw Wang Chao and Ma Han.

Let Gongsun Ce go in person and explain...

The wind in the evening was bitterly cold, and Gongsun Ce's fingertips were red from the cold. His hands, which were originally as white as jade, looked like radishes sold on the street.

The wind was blowing on his face, and the closer he got to the destination, the more uneasy Gongsun Ce became.

When we reached the top of the mountain, the sky had completely darkened, the torch was almost on fire, and the forest was full of flames, and there were still people shouting Hua Manlou's name.Gongsun Ce seemed to have lost his hearing, and the puppets followed behind the dynasty, and as the two walked forward, Gongsun Ce stood on the edge of the cliff, and the wind blowing from the cliff made Gongsun Ce's clothes stick to his body. Even a strong body is more like a thin bamboo emerging from a rock.

"Mr. Gongsun, I found pieces of Young Master Hua's clothes on the edge of the cliff."

"Have you searched down the cliff?" Gongsun Ce's voice was surprisingly calm, his pupils were very dark, reflecting the bright firelight.

Wang Chao was startled, and Bai Yutang was also startled.

"I have searched, but I am still sending people to search for the second time, afraid that I may have missed something."

"Well, continue to send people to search." Gongsun Ce frowned after speaking, seeming a little uncomfortable: "Is there any whereabouts of Huitong?"

"... Huitong's body was found under a cliff."

Hearing this, Gongsun Ce's pupils constricted, and when he came back to his senses, his fingertips pinched his palms sorely, and he opened his lips after a while and said, "Take the corpse back, and I will examine it myself."

"Yes."

Just as Bai Yutang was about to speak, Gongsun Ce had already turned around and walked down the mountain.The servant next to him followed, holding a torch to illuminate Gongsun Ce. Gongsun Ce's back was straight, and his hands in his sleeves occasionally showed some clues with his movements, and his five fingers were so tight that they were about to crush the bones.

Wang Chao sighed and shook his head.

Gongsun Ce was just as Bao Zheng said, he was too stubborn.
