Chapter 17: Treasures Fly to the Dust (2)

The startled lieutenant shook his hands and almost threw the glass bottle to the ground. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Gu Chaomin snatched the bottle over, and looked carefully into it to see that there was indeed only clear water left, and the moonlight soaked in the rain shone on the ground, shining with innocent water. He pulled over the crate and examined it, and it was empty except for the water that had been scattered.

He angrily threw the bottle back to the lieutenant general, stretched out his hand to point at the crowd on the table, and roared like a lion: "Come on, he will detain them all for me first." Surround the villa again, search me thoroughly, and don't let go of a suspicious person. ”

The soldiers quickly flashed their swords, leaving a row of people on the encirclement table, and the lieutenant general led the general to take the remaining rows of soldiers to join the other guards and search everywhere.

For this sudden change and Gu Chaomin's reasonable and rude way of dealing with it. Although everyone was unconvinced, they were helpless, some people were panicked, shouting unjustly regardless of their demeanor, some people were suspicious of each other, and some even fainted in fright.

Si Yugu, who loved to show everything, was also frightened unusually, and sat down in his seat in surprise, his eyes rolled around, and he was stunned for a moment, and then probed his brain again, as if he was looking for a treasure thief.

From the Zhuangzi came the screams of maids, the chirping of birds, and the breaking of things falling to the ground. Chen Zhen, who was already unwilling to sacrifice the treasure, was even more annoyed and angry at this time, he slapped the table and said angrily: "Does the general think that my Chen family will guard and steal from himself, if so, why should my Chen family take the initiative to dedicate the water to the saint, so wouldn't it be a suicide and a way to kill himself?" ”

Gu Chaomin snorted: "Master Chen, this general is also routine. If you hinder it, be careful and be punished with the same sin as the thief. ”

He returned to the table, looked around at the crowd with sharp eyes, paced back and forth, and said, "If anyone here knows the whereabouts of Shui Shenbi or who stole Shui Shenbi, he can be exempted from the death penalty by handing it over now." Otherwise, he will be searched out by the general and will be immediately escorted to the capital and sent by the saint. ”

Chen Siyu observed his words and deeds throughout the whole process, and at this moment regretfully came to the conclusion: The young man in front of him, who prides himself on being heroic and extraordinary, is just a person who is strong on the outside and capable in the middle. His appearance is considered to be the dragon and phoenix among people, and he is from a noble background, so it is natural that he has arrogance. She can tolerate his arrogance. But when she found out that he dealt with problems in the same way as an ordinary mediocre person, she realized that she had also made the mistake of judging people by their appearance. Not everyone who is good-looking has the intelligence to match his beauty, she is contemptuous in her heart, but on the surface, she still has to maintain the solemnity of Miss Chen.

Seeing the chaos in her home, she had to step forward, as the de facto manager of the villa. She was in danger and analyzed unusually calmly and calmly: "How can the general determine that Shui Shenbi is what we stole it?" From the perspective of the little girl, the most suspicious person should be the person who can approach the ancestral hall and the treasure box. We were under constant surveillance all afternoon, each staying in our room, and no one could enter the ancestral hall without alerting the general's soldiers, and my grandfather had already ordered that no one from the Chen family should enter the back garden. If there is a suspect in the back garden, why no one tells the general. ”

At this point, the frightened and frightened people had to admire her wit and intelligence, and she was able to sort out clues and break through the mystery in such a chaotic situation.

It is simply a fantasy for a person to silently take away the water from under the noses of hundreds of masters. Chen Siyu's reasoning was indeed reasonable, but there was still a nameless anger rising in his chest. He didn't want to admit it, so his loyal heart deceived him, making him think that he didn't know that his anger came from the wisdom of a young woman who had not yet left the boudoir.

He was humiliated by his excessive conceit, but the imperial order was far greater than his personal honor, and he did not lose his mind to the point of being unable to accept it.

Chen Siyu quickly caught the hesitant look on his face, and seeing that he had wavered, she smiled slightly, and continued confidently like a victor who was about to see the dawn: "General, the little girl is not trying to clear the charge for the villa and everyone here, it's just that the general must not be confused by the thieves and delay the time to handle the case." ”

Several soldiers heard her voice and looked at each other with horror in their eyes. Deeply afraid that the general would listen to this woman's clever words, a soldier boldly shouted when Gu Chaomin swept towards them with suspicious eyes: "General, we are wronged." ”

Gu Chaomin waved his right hand, implying that he had his own opinions, and there was no need to say more.

Just as he decided to change his countermeasures, Vice General Guo hurriedly came to report that he had just caught a suspicious person at the gate of the villa.

The tense atmosphere was temporarily relieved, and everyone breathed a long sigh of relief. Gu Chaomin didn't dare to relax for a moment, and ordered his subordinates to escort the suspect up.

The man's arms were pressed by the soldiers on the left and right, and there were two sharp knives hanging around his neck. His whole body was almost drenched in rain, the hem of his clothes, the cuffs and neckline were dripping wet, the shoulders and knees of his clothes were torn, his hands were wrapped in gauze, and half of his face was covered with mud and hair, and he could only see his appearance from the other side.

Gu Chaomin frowned and looked at him, with red lips and white teeth, beautiful skin and white skin, and a beautiful face like a painting. It's just that the spirit is tired and the expression is embarrassed, obviously because of the rain and the long journey.

Chen Siyu exclaimed: "Lin Risheng." Ignoring Chen Zhen's obstruction and the sharp blade threats of the soldiers, she rushed out of the crowd, and hugged him without disliking the sludge and dirty water on his body.

Lin Risheng was rushed back by her fierce hug.

Chen Siyu restrained his crying, held his hand, and asked him repeatedly like a stammer: "Are you okay?" ”

Lin Risheng went out to see a doctor and did not bring an umbrella, and the family who treated him kindly hired a donkey for him to carry him home. But halfway through, the rain became heavier and heavier, and the mountain road was full of mud, and the car could not pass at all. He had to get off the bus halfway to the village and the back of the store, it was getting late, and there was no one nearby. He braved the rain to travel, and then rolled down the hill because of the heavy rain, his clothes were torn, his forehead was bruised, and his wrist was dislocated.

The burden is lost, but fortunately, the medicine box is still there. He hid under the rocks and took the medicine himself. The surrounding trees were all soaked by rain, and there was no way to make a fire, and there was no clothing or dry food, and sleeping in the wilderness in such a wilderness for one night would freeze to death and freeze half of your life. He rested for a while, waited until the rain had subsided, picked a stick of wood to use as a crutch, and continued his way back.

Finally, exhausted, he arrived at the gate of the villa, and without even a chance to defend himself, he was indiscriminately detained by a group of soldiers. When Chen Siyu saw him, he had a high fever, was dazed, and couldn't even say a complete sentence, and was about to collapse.

Chen Zhen found that his face was wrong, so he raised his feet to catch up, and hurriedly explained to Gu Chaomin: "The general misunderstood, his name is Lin Risheng, he is the son of the little girl, his grandson, not a thief. ”

Gu Chaomin was suddenly taken aback, he had heard this name mentioned by the noble concubine several times. He knew the relationship between the Chen family and the Lin family, and as soon as Chen Zhen said it, he could be sure that this person was Concubine Shu's nephew. He couldn't believe that this unruly wabi man was actually the future husband set by the concubine Niangniang for his sister.

His future brother-in-law turned out to be this virtuous! The clothes are shabby, languishing and sleepy, where is it worthy of her sister's delicate face. Seeing Chen Siyu's affectionate care and care, he couldn't help but feel humiliated for his sister, before his sister passed the door, he had already pulled and pulled with other women, and he couldn't tell how to treat his poor sister affectionately in the future.

Of course, he was humiliated by himself, and he had whimsically thought that her target would be himself. Now he finally knows how ridiculous he is.

Countless intricate feelings intertwined together to create his anger. Driven by anger, he showed a hideous expression.

"General, this is the medicine box that this person is carrying, and there is nothing suspicious in it." The adjutant general opened a pine medicine box that had been cracked open and presented it, Gu Chaomin glanced at it, and inside were some silver needles for acupuncture, bottles and jars of medicine powder, large and small brown paper packets wrapped in traditional Chinese medicine, as well as pulse pillows and gauze.

It's about Lin Chang's son. He secretly disdained: no matter how famous he was, he was just a doctor, and what could his son do. Suddenly felt that it was really insulting for her sister to marry her. He did not confirm his identity further and did not want to recognize him at all. He pushed the medicine box, reached out and grabbed Lin Risheng's neckline and said, "Everything has been searched, but no one has searched yet." ”

Chen Siyu bravely turned around and blocked in front of Lin Risheng, looking at him with blazing eyes like a lioness who was also provoked: "The general doesn't need to search. It could not have been stolen by him. The general thought that he had only come back after the theft of the Shui Shen Bi, and that he had been out of town all day and was not here, unless he knew how to do the trick of separation, how could it be that he had stolen the Shen Bi? ”

This is the first time that Gu Chaomin has learned how great the power of a woman can erupt for the man she loves. His competitive spirit was instantly aroused. He must not indulge this woman to prevail over him again, and must suppress her arrogance.

Seeing that his hand only paused, he moved forward again. Chen Siyu was concerned about Lin Risheng's injury, and just wanted to end the dispute that had nothing to do with him as soon as possible and find a doctor to treat him. Afraid that the fierce Gu Chaomin would torture him, he changed his strategy in a hurry, and sincerely moved him with affection, knowing that he was reasonable: "General, the top priority is to inquire about the soldiers under you, especially the soldiers guarding the ancestral hall. If the water is really stolen by the people in the villa, then they will definitely not be able to get out of it. There are hundreds of people in my Chen family, and it is not as easy as checking them to inquire one by one if I don't know what year and month they want to investigate. Moreover, if the general does not withdraw his troops at this moment, it will be even more difficult if someone escapes in the name of search and then wants to pursue him. ”

Gu Chaomin's eyes flashed, and he thought sideways. Seeing this, she took advantage of the victory to pursue, and a radical general completely destroyed the other party's will: "The general loves his subordinates so much, isn't he afraid that he will be suspected of shielding?" ”

At this time, the situation immediately became delicate, and Gu Chaomin suddenly changed his position from a law-enforcer who took full advantage of reason, and he also became a suspect. Several adults in the banquet raised their heads again, and everyone suddenly understood. In fact, Gu Chaomin is the one with the most suspicion and the heaviest responsibility among them, they are the most involved, it's a big deal to play a fish and die in the net, everyone collectively wrote a book and insisted that he lost the water and sank, and when the time came, it would be up to the emperor to see whose crime the emperor would treat first.

Gu Chaomin looked around and felt the terrible of silent pressure.

At this time, Lin Risheng couldn't feel the treacherous clouds around him at all, his head was like a thousand pounds of boulders, and he was too heavy to lift it; The ears are like conch filled with seawater, filled with a huge roar.

Suddenly, he felt a thunderbolt ringing in his ears, and the stars in front of him were shining, and then he fell on Chen Siyu's back as if he had fallen into a cliff.

Chen Siyu screamed and held the unconscious him in his arms, shouting Xiao Hongye's name.

Xiao Hongye took a group of girls and servants to carry him back to the house, and she also followed him back to the house, leaving Chen Zhen to continue to deal with him.

Gu Chaomin acquiesced to everything, and said in a deep voice: "Withdraw." ”

Si Yugu was the first person among the crowd who hurriedly picked up his clothes and sneaked out of the flower hall, and he was also the only one who Gu Chaomin stopped. His iron hand was like a crab's claws gripping his arm tightly, and he was brutally pulling him out: "Master Si just wants to leave like this." You have the key to the treasure crate, are you also an accomplice, and you want to go with me? When I ask clearly, I will personally find someone to send you back. ”

Gu Chaomin half-dragged and half-pulled. Si Yugu smiled while struggling: "General, I still have urgent matters to deal with, tomorrow, I promise that I will go early tomorrow morning, and you can interrogate you as much as you want." You can give it a grace night, just one night, one night! Checkmate! ”

"Shut up!" Gu Chaomin shouted violently, "Is your matter bigger than the saint's matter, leave quickly, otherwise don't blame me for being rude." ”

Si Yugu, who eats soft and is afraid of hardness, has to eat coptis dumbly, obediently obeys soft, and follows the team.
