Traveling through the starry sky just for you, I was a koi in ancient times

Chapter 105 Touching the Edge

Here, Wang Wendong dragged his numb legs and crawled back to his room step by step. When the nanny who was tidying the room saw him,

"Master, what happened? Did you fall? Are you hurt? I'll go find the Madam."

Wang Wendong hurriedly stopped him. But the nanny thought: This is the eldest son of the second house, there can be no mistakes. She has to be clear-headed and not be confused.

So he went out to report to his wife.

The mother came in her outer robe and checked her son, finding that he was not injured.

After hearing Wang Wendong say that his legs suddenly went numb while he was practicing swordplay, his mother felt relieved.

"Wendong, don't go out too early next time. Maybe you didn't get enough rest!"

The mother fanned her son and asked the nanny to help him massage him.

Wang Wendong was sweating all over after all this busy work. His mother ordered the maid to fetch him some water for bathing. There was quite a commotion early in the morning, and the whole yard was in an uproar.

Wang Jinyi slept all night and got up sleepily, with her soft hair puffed up on her head.

The nurse and Zhu Yu washed and dressed the young lady. Sitting in front of the dressing mirror, Wang Jinyi looked at her lion-like hairstyle and woke up with a smile:

“Hahahahahaha…”

The mother had just finished working in her son's room and when she went out she heard her daughter's heartless and silly laughter.

I smiled helplessly and shook my head...

Wu Mei, who had just entered the room, was still standing obediently by the door. Wang Jinyi saw her through the bronze mirror and remembered that she had some information to communicate.

"Nanny, please help me comb my hair. I want to go to the backyard to see Xiao Huahua.

You guys pack up and wait for me, I'll be back soon!"

Wang Jinyi jumped off the brocade stool, ran to the door, took Wu Mei's hand, went out, turned left and right, and came to the grove in the backyard.

Wu Mei followed the same method and led the young lady to the stone again, spread out a handkerchief, and asked the young lady to sit down.

Before reporting, he asked the question that puzzled him all night.

"Miss, how do you know that Cao An's tung oil is missing? No, Miss, where do you think his tung oil is?"

Without waiting for Wu Mei to finish her words, Wang Jinyi reached out and grabbed Wu Mei, dragged her down to squat, and asked,

"You didn't find it? Where did you look for it? Did you look carefully? Do you know what kind of lamp oil the Cao family uses on a daily basis?"

"Miss, I can guarantee that the Cao family uses sesame oil. Even the servants' room and the storeroom use sesame oil. The lamp bowls are filled with sesame oil. It is impossible for their family to burn tung oil."

See the lady has been staring at me:

"Miss, my family doesn't even use tung oil, not to mention that it's a fifth-rank official's family, it's even more impossible for them to use tung oil!"

"Then maybe his family wants to use the copper oil for something?"

"Where do you need tung oil? Miss, tung oil can be used to paint wooden objects, but his family doesn't have a woodworking workshop, and I didn't see any wooden objects!"

Wu Mei was afraid that the young lady would not believe her, so she explained:

"Miss, the wood that has been painted with tung oil needs to be ventilated and dried. If there is any, I can find it."

"Sister Wu, can you guarantee that the carriage you saw belongs to Cao An's family? Must it be the Cao family that bought the lamp oil?"

"Miss, I can guarantee it! I saw the oil mill clerk and his carriage clearly.

Besides, this store belongs to the Cao family!"

"How did you tell?"

"Miss, you have never bought lamp oil before, so you don't know that it is not often that people buy such a large jar of oil."

Wang Jinyi's heart almost stopped beating, and she felt a faint excitement.

I still patiently listened to Wu Mei talk about how to measure oil with an oil gourd and how to fill oil with an oil pot...

"Miss, that oil mill is where the old woman buys oil. It's said that she rarely buys so much oil. Besides, she always buys oil from Cao's Oil Mill, so she can't be wrong."

Wang Jinyi felt that if he didn't interrupt him, he would just keep nagging in the oil mill.

I can only ask:

"Sister Wu, I asked you to watch the oil mill selling oil every day. Did you watch it?"

"Miss, by the way, I forgot to tell you that his oil mill business is not very good. Yesterday afternoon, he sold at most 3 catties of tung oil. Oh! Or maybe 3 catties of sesame oil.

You said his family opened this store..."

Wu Mei was still talking about the poor business of Cao’s oil mill.

Wang Jinyi felt that his initial suspicion did not seem to be wrong, and the oil mill was a cover.

There is indeed something wrong with buying 200 kilograms of oil. I seem to have gotten close to the Cao family, but it is not accurate yet. I need to add someone to observe.

Wang Jinyi tried hard to calm down and asked herself if she was a conspiracy theorist. It didn't seem like it!

There is a great possibility that there is indeed a problem!

Wang Jinyi felt that she needed to calm down and think carefully. Now that she had no outside help and could only rely on herself, she had to think carefully.

"Sister Wu, continue to observe the sales volume of the oil room, and try to ambush in the main courtyard at night. Just ambush, don't do anything else, and don't expose yourself. If you are exposed, can you run away?"

"Miss, there are guards in the main courtyard of the Cao family. I went to see them at night. I'll go and test it first. I'll tell you tomorrow."

After saying that, I still have some questions to ask:

"Miss, can I ask you a question?"

"explain."

"Miss, why do you think there is something wrong with Cao An's tung oil?"

"I don't think there's anything wrong with that."

"Then you want me to secretly investigate Cao's oil mill? What on earth do you want to do?"

.Wang Jinyi ignored Wu Mei’s question and was unable to answer.

"If the Cao family's main courtyard is in danger, don't force your way in. Be careful when you come back and don't let anyone target you."

Yiliu and Yiqi looked at each other in the tree. What kind of child is this? This is too scary!

Looking at the master and servant under the tree, they plotted for a while and then left. The two guards looked at each other, observed the surroundings, and flew out of No. 9 Yongxing Lane.

The two guards of the East Palace, Yiliu and Yiqi, presented the peach wood sword to the captain upon seeing him.

The captain of Team B was confused at first, and looked back and forth with the peach wood sword:

"This is?"

Yiliu said:

"Captain, look at this jade pendant. It looks exactly like the jade buckle on the young master's whip."

The captain of Team B took a look and couldn't be sure.

The reason why all the guards in the Feng team had seen Xiao Yu's whip was because of that year in the royal hunting ground.

Xiao Yu fell off his horse extremely unexpectedly. All the guards around him saw it with their own eyes. Xiao Yu was thrown high into the air by the horse, and the whip in his hand flew high into the sky, flying a full ten feet away. At that time, the East Palace issued a strict order that he must be found. There was also a clear drawing at that time, which every guard had to memorize.

After repeated searches, the horsewhip was finally found. At that time, this jade pendant style was drawn on the search map.

After the Crazy Horse incident, Xiao Yu fell very hard and passed out from the pain.

When the imperial physician arrived, Xiao Yu was sweating and had already woken up from the pain. It was during this time that Xiao Yu suffered multiple fractures. His arms, legs, ribs, and waist were all injured.

With time and medicine, the injuries on his arms, legs, and ribs gradually improved, but his waist injury was very serious. Every day, Xiao Yu did not move at all, and his body was even squeezed with sandbags. Xiao Yu lived in such a difficult way...
