In the golden autumn season, the osmanthus is fragrant, and after the rain in the empty mountains, the autumn geese fly south. After the Chongyang Festival, there was also new news outside the house.

Xiao Shunzi's expression was gloomy when he brought back the news, and he took out a portrait and handed it to me, saying, "Gege can recognize this person." ”

His expression gave me a very bad premonition, and when I took the portrait and unfolded it, I stood up abruptly and blurted out in disbelief: "How could it be him!?"

I do know the person on the portrait, and it turned out to be the guard next to Yinyu. I felt a chill and pain in my heart, secretly wondering how this matter had something to do with Yinyu, could it be that he loved me and wanted to destroy me in such a bad way? But everything in his past came to mind, his frank smile and high-spirited appearance, and a voice in his heart was still arguing, saying "No, Yinyu is not this kind of person", but the picture scroll in my hand made me confused, and I couldn't tell whether to believe or not to believe.

He sat back on the couch and slowly raised his hand to return the scroll to Xiao Shunzi. I tried to calm myself down with the unspeakable emotions in my heart, and asked, "Are you sure it's him?"

"These thugs were very cautious, and the minions followed them for half a month without finding any flaws, until a lustful fellow went to the kiln to make a good move, showing off that he had taken a big deal, so that the person sent to catch the tail and take this guy back for interrogation. This man refused to speak at first, but then he couldn't bear the torture and still recruited him. According to his dictation, let the painter draw the appearance of the person who asked him to kill the turtle man. The minion had a face-to-face with the guard beside the ninth master, and when he got the portrait, he recognized him at a glance. So I felt that this matter was afraid that it was a little involved with the Ninth Master, so I asked them not to report it first, and privately took the portrait back for Gege to see, and then made a decision. Xiao Shunzi nodded and shook his head again, saying, "It's just that this guard is not an inner servant, and it is definitely not the white-faced little official that the turtle Gong said." So the slave can't be sure that he instructed the pothos to drug Gege, but the slave feels that this matter may indeed have something to do with the Ninth Master, and Gege feels that what to do......"

Xiao Shunzi did not deliberately conclude this matter because the other party was a person involved with Yinyu, but still said his views and speculations quite fairly.

"Listen to what you mean, the person who instructed the pothos to drug me may be someone related to the Ninth Master, after the East Window incident, the Ninth Master found out that we were about to find out about to find this person, and he wanted to protect this person, so he asked the guard to find someone to kill the turtle father?"

"But what the slave doesn't understand, why does the Ninth Master want to shoot the close guards to do this matter himself. Although the person that the Ninth Master wants to protect may have a special identity and is inconvenient to fake the hands of others, but the Ninth Master's subordinates may not be the only one cronie available. And when he knew that someone was investigating this matter, couldn't he have imagined that if the matter was revealed, the whole spearhead would be pointed at him. How does he deal with himself in front of his master, and what kind of predicament will he bring into Gege? I don't think that with the friendship of the Ninth Master for Gege, he would never act so recklessly and put Gege in such a dangerous situation. Not to mention using that kind of medicine to deal with Gege, so the slave didn't dare to assert himself in this matter, and asked Gege to have an idea. Xiao Shunzi said pertinently.

Facing Xiao Shunzi, who suddenly spoke for Yinyu, I asked him with doubts: "Didn't you always hope that I wouldn't have much to do with Jiu Ye before, why did you help him talk for no reason this time?"

The slave hopes that Gege and the master can be well, but he can also understand how bitter the ninth master is in his heart. Xiao Shunzi's eyes were slightly silent, and he opened his mouth when he was young: "Gege, the ninth master will not harm you." ”

I understand some of the meanings in Xiao Shunzi's words, but I also subconsciously avoided these, thought for a while, and suddenly made a bold and risky decision.

"You make arrangements, I will personally meet with the Ninth Master and ask for clarification. I said to Junko.

"Gege, no. Xiao Shunzi didn't expect me to make such a request, and suddenly his face changed suddenly and stopped: "If you just hand over the portrait, the master may not think that Gege and the Ninth Master have anything to do with it, and there may be room for turnaround, but if Gege goes to see the Ninth Master in person, once the master finds out, Gege can only be speechless." Now the inner courtyard is not peaceful, the enemy is clear and I am secret, it is not clear who wants to plot against Gege, and it is impossible to tell how many parties in the house have eyeliner, Gege is too impulsive to do this, it is really inappropriate. ”

"I have to see him, and there are some things that can only be reassuring if I say them clearly to my face. As for what to do, you first find a way to delay this portrait for a few days before handing it in, and in the next few days, we can always come up with a safe way. If I can't think of a way, I won't take any chances, you can do what you want. "I've made up my mind, I insisted.

Xiao Shunzi was helpless and nodded in response.

Without Yunhui, except for Xiao Shunzi, there is no one around me who can contact Yinzhen, but the more Xiao Shunzi is involved in my affairs with Yinzhen, the deeper he will fall, if Yinzhen is aware one day, Xiao Shunzi is afraid that his fate will be worrying, so if it is not necessary, I will not let Xiao Shunzi take this risk for me.

But now I insist on seeing Yinyu, because I feel that if some things are not explained clearly in person, I am afraid that there will be too many variables, which are terrible and fatal to everyone.

Just when he was worried, Kangxi assigned Yinzhen to leave Beijing on business for a few days. I said to Xiao Shunzi: "While the fourth master is not here these days, I think of a way that I may be able to try." ”

Xiao Shunzi still felt that I wanted to see Yinyu's move was too risky, and persuaded: "No matter what method is used, Gege's courtyard is afraid that it is not the realm of dissiding at the moment, as long as Gege does something, it may become a handle in the hands of others, so the slave still feels that Gege has something to say, just let the slave deliver it." ”

I smiled and said, "If it's not me who goes out, but someone else, then even if I make a mistake, it won't be on my head?"

Looking at Xiao Shunzi's puzzled face, I continued: "Don't forget, there is another person in this house who looks seven or eight points like me......

Xiao Shunzi's eyebrows sank, and he whispered: "Does Gege want to play a grafting Li Dai Taozhuang?"

I nodded and said, "I know it's not kind, and it's not my usual habit, but now it's so high that if I have to think of a complete way, it's the only way to do it." Besides, it doesn't put her in danger, on the contrary, once someone suspects, she and I will be half each, just to see who the fourth master believes more. ”

Xiao Shunzi hesitated for a long time before nodding and said: "Although this method is risky, it is relatively safe, since Gege is insistent, the slave will help Gege achieve his wish even if he dies." (To be continued.) )
