Chapter 542 Half Footprint
There is no one, so why did this leaf appear in the pond inexplicably?

It can't be blown by the wind.

"Did the people guarding outside notice anything strange?"

Shu Jiu was taken aback again, not understanding his intentions, but just shook his head honestly, "No one has reported it. Commander, but found something wrong?"

Wu Yongda threw the leaf in his hand in front of him, "I saw it in the pond, go find this kind of leaf in Fuchu."

"Yes."

Shu Jiu hurriedly left, and soon left and returned.

"Commander, the leaves of this shrub are only found outside the low wall next to the kitchen."

"Clap."

Wu Yongda accidentally knocked the candlestick over to the ground, and the wax oil flowed out, sticking to the cold floor, and soon solidified.

"Check the house thoroughly, and report immediately if there is any abnormality."

Seeing that his expression was not right, Shu Jiu vaguely guessed something, did not dare to delay, and immediately issued an order.

Especially the secret guards who have been guarding outside the study these days have been interrogated one by one.

Wu Yongda's brows haven't been stretched since he left the palace, and now his whole face is wrinkled, his eyes are full of hostility.

This night, some people slept well, while others burned lamps all night, so they could not find peace.

It wasn't until dawn that Shu Jiu took a piece of paper, hurried to the door of the study, and knocked on the door.

"Come in."

Hoarseness.

Wu Yongda was leaning on the back of the chair and dozed off. Hearing the sound, he slowly opened his eyes, which were bloodshot.

After Shu Jiu spread out the paper and presented it, he knelt three steps away, "Commander, these are the footprints found on the beam in the next room."

"Incomplete?" Wu Yongda squinted his eyes, trying to see more clearly.

"Yes."

It has been checked, and it does not belong to anyone in the mansion.

Wu Yongda stared fixedly at the half footprint in front of him, and after a few seconds, he suddenly sneered, "You don't even know when someone came to the mansion, so what's the use of you?"

"The Commander forgives sins."

"What's the use of forgiveness?" Wu Yongda clenched his fists tightly, his eyes were scarlet, and he thumped the table heavily.

Feel powerless.

At such an urgent juncture, such a thing happened in the mansion, how could he not panic?

Wu Yongda was silent for a long time, and finally he could only say weakly, "I'll give you a day to find this person."

Shu Jiu didn't dare to object, "This subordinate understands."

Seeing that he was about to walk out of the study, Wu Yongda suddenly stopped him again, "Wait, who has been to the mansion these two days?"

Shu Jiu: "Master Zhang from the Shangshu Mansion, Master Liu from the Ministry of Rites... Oh yes, Master Zeng also came here a few days ago."

Wu Yongda listened, nodded slightly, and signaled him to go out.

He knows all these people well, so there shouldn't be a problem.

After going back and forth, it was already bright outside.

Wu Yongda asked someone to bring in a basin of hot water, freshened up briefly, and was about to go out when a guard hurried over from the front yard, "Commander, the emperor sent someone over to call you into the palace."

Entering the palace at this time?
Wu Yongda suddenly thought about it.

He was not supposed to be on duty today, the emperor looked anxious for why he was looking for him.

"I see. Change your clothes and go. You go to entertain the person who came to deliver the message first."

Wu Yongda winked, and the guard immediately understood what he meant, and rushed to the front yard immediately.

Someone brought hot tea and shortbread, and greeted the eunuch who delivered the order with delicious food.

The eunuch was also very thoughtful, but he really had no news to give Wu Yongda, so he could only wave his hand and refuse.
