Mi Huang borrowed Ruo Ao Ziyan's light, climbed to the third floor of the Junzi Pavilion on the main city street, and looked down from above with Yang Wei. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The Zhou Mansion is very large, adjacent to the Chengfu on Beicheng Street.

From the heights, you can see that although the houses of the Zhou Mansion are brightly lit, but the garden is still dark, from time to time there are guards walking back and forth with torches, although you can see some dark corners, but there is also a cold cold light flashing, obviously there are guards hidden in the dark, and there are various entrances and exits, even the people in the house are also checked.

The calm Yang Wei put one hand on the windowsill and looked down, frowned and said, "Lady, the defense of the Zhou Mansion at night is more severe than during the day, it is difficult for so many of us to enter together, and the safest way now is to climb over the courtyard wall of the Cheng Mansion." ”

The frightened wind on the side also pointed at those guards and nodded and said, "These guards are not ordinary guards, I have fought with them during the day, and they are all very old and spicy, and they are obviously all swordsmen who lick blood, so we can't go in too many people, otherwise it is easy to target too big." ”

Mi Huang's hand on the windowsill slowly tightened into a fist, and his eyes fell on the courtyard wall shared by the Cheng Mansion and the Zhou Mansion.

I didn't plan to tell Cheng Jia about tonight's action.

"No, the original plan: forcible take!"

Under the hazy moonlit night, everyone changed into the guard clothes and maid clothes of the Zhou Mansion that had been prepared long ago, and according to the topographic map of the rolling melons that they had obtained from Ruo Ao Ziyan, they quietly came to the Zhou Mansion under the two-foot high wall and slowly stood still.

Mi Huang looked at Yang Wei and the others, and ordered in a low voice, "Yang Wei, you take ten people, responsible for luring away the guards in the mansion, and if you can, destroy a team of guards and take their waist cards." If they found that something had changed, they would start setting fire to create chaos, while Feng Feng and I were responsible for sneaking into Zhou Mu's study to find evidence, and the rest of the people stayed outside to answer. ”

Everyone nodded in the darkness of the night, and then climbed over the courtyard wall in batches, carefully flashing through the various sentry posts in the night.

Although Mi Huang and Feng Feng had long been familiar with the terrain, after entering, they found that the Zhou Mansion was heavily guarded, beyond imagination.

Usually, even the people in the house rarely move around after nightfall.

There are few opportunities to take advantage of.

After waiting for a long time, I saw a maid carrying a bucket of clothes coming out of the backyard of the Zhou Mansion, Mi Huang looked at her, and the frightening wind approached her carefully, cut her down from behind, and then dragged her to a no-man's corner, Mi Huang searched out the waist card from her, and the same frightening wind cut down a subordinate person, and also found a waist card, followed Mi Huang.

The two of them walked all the way to Zhou Mu's main courtyard with their waist cards, but when they arrived at the main courtyard, the previous waist cards were not very useful.

Zhou Mufang is really strict!

There's also a waist card here.

Standing in the dark part of the corridor, Mi Huang looked at the armor standing with torches at the door of the main courtyard, and checked two waist cards before releasing people, and all the archers stood on the walls of the main courtyard.

The precautions are so watertight.

If there is no important evidence hidden in it.

Mi Huang really didn't believe it.

Frightened Wind's handsome face was a little tangled, and he asked in a low voice, "What should I do?"

Mi Huang twisted his eyebrows and said, "Don't worry, let's wait and see if there is a chance to get in." ”

They waited for nearly half an hour, and finally there was a sound of talking on the other side of the corridor, as well as the sound of walking from far and near, "I didn't expect that Cheng Xian's nephew would visit so late at night!

"It's not about the disaster relief case, there are a few words that Jia is inconvenient to say to Shibo during the day, so he bothered him late at night. Cheng Jiaqian's polite voice came slowly in the night breeze.

"Oh, what's the inconvenience to say?"

Zhou Mu raised his eyebrows and asked, looking at the young man who came in the middle of the night under the dim candlelight.

"The princess wanted to take Shi Bo Liwei, but Jia couldn't stop it, so she had to come in advance to remind Shi Bo. Cheng Jia said quietly.

"Huh...... Isn't this well-known to everyone in the court?" Zhou Mu laughed.

The two of them came to Mihuang and them as they spoke, followed by a team of servants, walking unhurriedly, and when they arrived at the rockery in front of Mihuang and them, Cheng Jia paused, turned on his toes, and led Zhou Mu to the pavilion in the garden to speak, for a long time, he said, "But there are still some things, Shibo doesn't know, it's about this case." ”

"What don't you know?"

Zhou Mu, who walked into the pavilion, became interested, and looked at what tricks Cheng Jia was playing.

The garden is verdant with grass and trees, pavilions and rockeries dotted in between, the paths are secluded, only one person is allowed to pass, and Zhou Mu accompanied a lot of maids and guards, it is impossible to enter the garden all, there are always a few low-level maids and attendants standing at the end.

With the help of the cover of the rockery and the flowers and trees, Mi Huang and Feng Feng quickly stood behind the last maid and attendant, and at the same time covered their mouths and noses and quickly put them down, and then the Feng Feng dragged the two of them to a dense flower bush in the garden to hide, and then turned back to the group.

In this meeting, one of the two of them used his body to block the movement of the other, without causing anyone in front of him to find out.

In the pavilion, Cheng Jia pondered for a long time, and took out a confession from his sleeve, "Shibo, look, this is Lord Zheng's confession." ”

Zhou Mu took it, and then beckoned, a maid carrying an octagonal lantern approached, the bright candlelight shone on the silk cloth rows of small seals, and in an instant, he saw Zheng Yan summoning him all, and his face suddenly froze, "How can you have this confession......

"I don't have it, it's a copy secretly copied by my little nephew from my daughter. Cheng Jia looked at him and shook his head and said.

"What do you mean......"

Zhou Mu, who was dressed in a mink coat, stood in the pavilion, and suddenly felt a cold wind blowing through his backbone, all the way up, and then a stirring in his brain, recalling what Mi Huang said at that time in the early dynasty, asked in disbelief, "The princess has evidence in her hand, but she didn't report me, so she swore in front of Zhu Palace that I killed someone." ”

"Exactly, it's just that she has no evidence!"

Cheng Jia nodded slowly.

Zhou Mu was two points flustered, but he concealed it very well, the palm of his big hand holding the confession was slightly wet, his eyes sank, and he said slowly, "Even if there is this testimony, what is the use of dying now without proof, even if she is a princess, if she really bites me, the old man will go to the king to accuse her of deliberately climbing and spreading rumors." ”

Cheng Jia smiled when he heard this, "Shibo is really wise, I think so too, so let Shibo make preparations in advance, and then you and I will have a way to deal with it." ”

"You, me?"

Zhou Mu finally heard Cheng Jia's voice.

"Yes, although Jia has no relationship with Miss Zhou, my father has a close relationship with Shibo, and the two families have always been close, so when this case was first received from me, I delayed the trial for this reason, so in order to avoid suspicion, I politely rejected Miss Zhou. ”

Cheng Jia sighed with a regretful face, "It's just that I didn't expect Miss Zhou to settle down so quickly, it's a pity." Later, the princess intervened sideways to make the case so tricky, otherwise my little nephew and I would have delayed it for a month or two and waited for the New Year, and the case would have become a big and small matter. After the next year, the marriage of the two families will be mentioned again, and it will be logical. ”

Zhou Muyan was a little convinced of his words when he heard this.

When Cheng Jia took over, there was no movement in this case for half a month, if it wasn't for the female intervening, it might have really dragged on like this.

Thinking of Zhou Jinghua's marriage again, I couldn't help but sigh, "It's a pity that you and Jinghua have no guesses since childhood, childhood sweethearts." ”

As a son-in-law, Cheng Jia is naturally 10,000 times better than Ruo Ao Yuejiao.

Just this easy-to-handle temper, coupled with the suppression of Cheng Dechen's old ghost, the two families will inevitably get along.

Cheng Jia also smiled slightly, "It's a good thing that Sister Jinghua can get the blue eyes of the eldest prince Ruoao, but Jia heard that Shibo also has a very beloved daughter, which is also very good." ”

Zhou Mu's eyes lit up when he heard this, the two of them smiled meaningfully, and stood in the pavilion and said that they would be in the middle of the court, Cheng Jia said that the wind was cold and dewy outside, and Zhou Mu invited him to the main courtyard.

Mi Huang and Frightened Wind, who had been following behind, slowly walked towards the main courtyard with the large team.

The guards in front of the main courtyard saw that Zhou Mu was back, although they also checked it, they were not so careful.

Seeing the two of them enter Zhou Mu's living room, Mi Huang stood outside the door of the living room and suddenly covered her stomach and bowed her head and screamed in pain, "Sister, I want to go to the thatched house." ”

The maid beside her looked at her who couldn't straighten her waist in pain when she heard this, and said in a low voice, "Go and come back quickly!"

"Yes, yes, I'll be right back. ”

Mi Huang kept her head down, and when she ran past the frightened wind, the eyes of the two briefly met, and the frightened wind continued to calmly guard the door, while she bent down and trotted in the direction of the thatched house, and disappeared into the night after a while.

When he arrived at the thatched house, Mi Huang paused, quickly flashed into the alley next to him, listened to the movement inside, and made sure that there was no one walking in the door and the sound of breathing, so he used the dagger he carried with him to insert the crack in the door, opened the latch, flashed in, and inserted the latch again from the inside.

This is a courtyard behind Zhou Mu's study, according to the frightened wind they inquired, this courtyard lives in a beautiful woman that Zhou Mu likes very much, every time she works will invite her red sleeves to add fragrance, the courtyard is quiet at this time, only two or three rooms show dim lights.

Mi Huang did not stop, quickly passed through the courtyard, killed two more sentry posts, and sneaked into the courtyard.

The courtyard is carved and painted, and the yard is planted with all kinds of flowers and trees very elegant, only one of the exquisite rooms is lit, and the sound of two women talking faintly in the house seems to be the boudoir of the beauty.

Mi Huang hid under the window of the room and listened, only to hear a familiar female voice sound, "Where is my father?"

I was shocked at the bottom of my heart, but it was Zhou Jinghua.

Another delicate voice replied, "You ask me who I ask, your father is not with me now!"

Zhou Jinghua was a little angry when she heard this, and she slammed the door with someone and left.

And the delicate woman in the room clapped her hands and smiled happily after she left, "On weekdays, my eyes are higher than the top, and no one can look down on her, but now it's okay, when she marries the overlord who everyone in Beijing is afraid of in a few days, ?......who will I be afraid of this week in the future."

Seeing that there was nothing to listen to, Mi Huang directly turned over to the roof with a harrier, and bent down towards the study, this is the core place, and the guards should not be so lax.

In order to prevent fraud, Mi Huang was very careful to uncover a piece of rubble first, and looked down, only to see that the room was pitch black, and he was not sure if there was anyone.

After repeatedly uncovering a few pieces of rubble, there was still no trace of the secret guard in the huge study.

It seems that the entire Zhou Mansion is tight on the outside and loose on the inside.

tightened the dagger in his hand and sealed his throat with blood, and his heart sank, and time was running out.

Mi Huang jumped down, in the dark study, quickly turned his head to look around, and lifted all the places where he could hide people, and sure enough, there was no one.

Zhou Mu's study was as luxurious as his entire mansion.

The whole study is very large, the three walls are rows of tall bookshelves, and the bamboo slips are dropped on them, and they are neatly placed.

Yi Zhou Mu's cautious character would not be even better.

After a few turns in the study, except for the more luxurious desks, benches, and couches, Mi Huang didn't find anything special.

The flint held in his hand was really limited in light, and he couldn't light the lamp, so he couldn't look more carefully.

Emei frowned slightly, and Mi Huang's eyes wandered around, and he didn't know if there was any dark cabinet here?

Or will it not be in the study, but somewhere else?

Suddenly, there was a loud noise overhead.

The ear drum vibrated slightly, and Mi Huang looked at the roof.

Who's coming!

A black shadow slowly fell, only to hear the sound of "card rubbing" and the sound of the mechanism opening and closing, someone touched the table, but there was a sudden sound of opening the door outside the door.

The dark shadow flickered away.

Mi Huang has been squatting under the table and not moving.

Frowning slightly, whose person is it, is it also here to find the account book?

Cheng Jia's conversation with Zhou Mu couldn't help but jump into his mind, could it be that he sent someone to find the account books, or did he really collude with Zhou Mu?

I saw a light slowly illuminating all corners of the study, and the person who came did not light the lamp, and then two pairs of embroidered shoes walked over slowly, and when the first person walked to the long desk, another rummaging sound sounded above Mi Huang's head, and a familiar woman's voice sounded.

Under the dim candlelight, Zhou Jinghua's pretty little face was reflected, and the red marks on her neck that couldn't be covered up with a scarf, "Sure enough, here, Father, if you hadn't forced me, why would I ...... like this?"

After a long time, the woman who followed behind whispered, "Miss, this is the master's study, it's not good for us to do this...... If it is discovered, it will be beaten to death by the master. ”

The phoenix hid under the table, quietly hooking her rosy lips.

I didn't expect Zhou Jinghua to come as a "thief", I don't know if what she is looking for is the same thing as what she is looking for.

If yes.

That's a no-brainer!

After a while, the sound above his head finally stopped, Xiao Jiang stood by the door in fear and watched the wind, heard the movement outside the house, and said anxiously, "Let's go, Miss, there are people outside, it seems to be the voice of the master and Cheng Gongzi." ”

"Alright, alright. ”

Then there was another sound of footsteps and the door closing, and all the light disappeared the moment the door closed.

I only heard Zhou Jinghua's voice coming from outside the house again, "Father, Brother Jia!"

Zhou Mu's voice also sounded vaguely, "It's so late, what are you doing here?"

"I wanted to come to my father and talk about something. ”

"Something, I have to come here at this time. ”

"It's about my marriage to the eldest son. ”

"Didn't you see any guests at this time?"

Zhou Mu's reprimand sounded, and then Cheng Jia's faint dissuasion also sounded, and Zhou Jinghua's footsteps crying and running away became farther and farther away......
