Zhu family.

The Zhu Mansion at night is quiet, there is no moonlight, and it seems to be dark on all sides. Only outside the door of Zhu Hong's study, there was a dim and dim lantern that revealed a little light.

Cui Shi and Zhu Rong stood outside the study, quietly touched the door of the study, and then the two were about to raise their feet to enter. At this time, Cui Shi thought for a while, and suddenly pushed Zhu Rong, who was about to go in with her, and said to him: "Don't go in, just look at the wind outside." ”

Zhu Rong's face looked a little impatient, and said, "Then you go in quickly, don't let people find out." ”

Cui Shi said: "If you find something wrong, tell me quickly." After saying that, he went in with the lantern, and then touched a multi-treasure pavilion on the wall, first moved the multi-treasure pavilion with his hand, and then lifted the lantern to shine on the wall, and gently tapped every brick on the wall with his hand.

After knocking a few times, he didn't find anything wrong, and Cui couldn't help muttering: "No, I obviously saw him put things here." ”

Cui Shi was not reconciled, and continued to knock on the bricks on the wall, or pushed with his hands, and pressed and buttoned with his hands, but still found nothing.

After thinking about it for a while, the whole person squatted down, and searched around, and finally found that something was wrong with a large vase on the floor next to him, and there were traces of being moved often on the ground.

Cui Shi put down the lantern, held the vase and gently moved it away, and sure enough, he found that there was something like a mechanism button under the vase. Cui Shi was suddenly overjoyed, and pressed the stone button hard, and the third brick from the ground in the middle of the wall to the ground automatically popped out.

Cui Shi hurriedly carried the lantern and ran over to look, and saw that the middle of the brick was indeed hollow, and a box was placed in the middle of the hollow.

Cui Shi was overjoyed, and hurriedly moved the box out gently.

At this time, Zhu Rong, who was outside to let out the wind, saw that Cui Shi inside had not moved for a long time, and was about to ask if it was okay, but at this time, he suddenly heard a "click" sound in the bamboo bushery in front of him, as if it was the sound of a bamboo branch being trampled on.

Zhu Rong was shocked, thinking that someone was coming, so he hurriedly shouted: "Who?"

At this time, a huge mouse jumped out of the bamboo bushes, "squeaked" twice, and jumped into the bamboo bushes again.

It turned out to be a mouse, and Zhu Rong suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

But Cui Shi in the study was startled by his "who", and asked in a panic: "Is someone coming?"

Zhu Rong hurriedly told her, "It's okay, it's a big mouse." After speaking, he urged: "Mother, have you found it, hurry up." ”

Cui Shi said: "Okay, okay, right away." After speaking, he hurriedly opened the box and saw that there was a thick booklet inside. I picked up the booklet and opened it, and there was a dense string of names written inside.

Cui Shi thought that this should be the case, and the whole person became excited, and hurriedly closed the box and put it in his arms. Then he pressed the button again to restore the brick to its original state, and moved the large vase back to its original position, and then came out with the lantern.

Zhu Rong saw her come out and hurriedly greeted her and asked, "Did you find it?"

Cui Shi raised his eyebrows and said, "Your mother is out in person, what else can't be done." ”

Zhu Rong suddenly laughed and said, "Really, then hurry up and show me too." As he spoke, he searched for her arms.

Cui Shi stretched out his hand and slapped him on the hand, glared at him, and then ordered: "Hurry up and restore the lock to its original state, so that no one can see it." ”

Zhu Rong had no choice but to lock the lock with the secretly made key in his hand, and then listened to Cui's words: "I'm going to go back to Cui's house right now, you go back to sleep now, don't let people see it." ”

After speaking, the mother and son muttered a few more words, and then the soldiers left the study in two ways.

The night returned to silence, and only the rustle of the wind on the bamboo leaves could be heard, as if no one had ever been here.

At this moment, a figure walked out of the bamboo rockery, looked at the back of the mother and son walking away, and turned to the other direction.

It wasn't until he walked to the place where the lights were on that people could see clearly that this person was Ah Song, the little guy next to Zhu Hong.

He went directly to the room where Zhu Hong lived, pushed open the door, and Zhu Hong was sitting on the table, sipping tea with a teacup, his face looked lazy and leisurely, and next to him stood another small servant, Ah Bai.

Hearing his footsteps coming in, Zhu Hong put down the teacup in his hand and asked, "It seems that their mother and son have found the roster." ”

Ah Song laughed and said, "It's all as Childe expected." At this time, they were afraid that they thought that they had worked hard to find it, but they didn't think that Gongzi deliberately released the water. ”

Zhu Hong only smiled when he listened, but did not speak.

Ah Bai, who was on the side, was a little worried at this time, and said to Zhu Hong: "...... However, if the Cui family gets this list, will they really believe that this list is true?"

Zhu Hong said: "True and false, false and real, they may not believe it all, but they will definitely not be unguarded, and this is enough to cause the Cui family to panic." ”

He didn't quite understand what he said, but Ah Song and Ah Bai in the room obviously understood, and they both nodded at this time.

After Zhu Hong finished speaking, he stood up and said, "Sleep, have a good night's sleep today." Watch for me tomorrow, Lian Qing is expected to have a letter from there. ”

Ah Song and Ah Bai both said yes, and then left Zhu Hong's room.

On the other side, the Cui family held the box in his hand, put on a black linen cloak, and sneaked out of the Zhu family, going straight to the direction of the Cui family.

It was late at night, and there was a curfew on the streets, so that no one could be seen except the watchmen. Cui couldn't find the carriage, so he could only run to Cui's house.

The distance between Zhu's house and Cui's house was a little far, and when she ran to Cui's house, she felt that her feet were about to break.

She wiped her sweat, took a deep breath, and then walked up the steps and knocked the door of Cui's house, shouting loudly: "Open the door, open the door ......"

The little guy inside yawned and asked impatiently, "Who?" As he spoke, he opened the door, and when he saw Cui Shi standing outside the door, he immediately became respectful again, and hurriedly said: "Yo, it turned out that my aunt and grandmother came back, it's so late this day, why did you come back at this time?"

Cui Shi ignored him impatiently, and said as he went inside: "Hurry up, go and call my brother up." After a pause, he said, "There are also grandfathers and marquis, they are all called over, I have something important to tell them." ”

The little girl couldn't help but complain in her heart, who do you think you are, this point is to let people call the grandfather and the marquis, she thinks he is tired of him. An aunt who is married and is not taken seriously, where did she come from such a big posture.

But the little guy on his face still smiled respectfully and said: "Auntie, why don't you go and inform the fourth lady first, and let her arrange a place for you to live first, and then talk about it tomorrow?"

Cui's knew that these things didn't make sense with these little guys, and he didn't bother to entangle with them, just thinking that when he saw his brother-in-law Fourth Lady Cui, she would definitely know the importance of what she brought back, so she would naturally invite Ning Guogong and An Guohou over, so he urged the little maid to say: "Then why don't you go and invite the fourth lady out to see me." ”
