Chapter 399: It's better to guess first
Yuanbao's eyes were filled with a little expectation and envy, and he looked at me and asked in a serious tone, "Childe, why don't you continue to play?" "I can't play anymore, if I continue," I said with a faint smile, "I may not have that good luck." “
Gambling houses are not as good as other places, and luck is bound to attract attention.
Besides, there are a lot of cats in the gambling house, if you meet a master to deliberately embarrass you, I'm afraid that the little money you won before will not be retained!
If you win the money in your hand, you will fly away, and no one will be happy!
If you want to avoid losses, try to be careful.
"Childe, will you?" Yuan Bao was a little skeptical of my statement. "Yuanbao, I'm pretty sure," I said with a faint smile, "so as I just said, the gambling house should not stay for a long time, and you can accept it when you see it." “
Hearing this, Yuanbao's gaze met with the guard Ah Lai, and the two glanced at each other.
We were standing at the mouth of the alley talking, when suddenly a man rushed in from the alley.
The man hurried past us.
In the alley, there were no less than dozens of people who came out of the gambling hall and passed by us.
As mentioned earlier, business here in Suzhou is very good, so the flow of people is fast, and a group of people leave after gambling, and then there are new customers who come in.
The gambling house is in and out, and there is a constant flow of people, and I don't know how many people will add up every day.
However, the person who passed by was a little different.
The moment I passed by, my eyebrows moved.
The thought flashed through my mind. Why does that person seem to be a little wrong?
Smelling something unusual, I perked up and turned my head to stare at the man. I saw him walk through the door of the gambling house.
From the impression of a shocking glance, I could roughly see that the man was about forty years old, wearing a blue robe, and his face was ordinary.
First, it's not a foreign race in the north, it's definitely not, that person is the people in Suzhou City!
Anyway, it just passed. I saw that this person's face belonged to the kind that was inconspicuous when thrown on the street.
The alien races in the north are easy to recognize, and their facial features are much deeper than those of the local people in Suzhou.
Comparing a foreign race to the common people of Sealand is very different. So when Yuan Bao and I watched from the teahouse, we could easily spot those aliens passing by in the crowd.
The person who passed by us just now was a little different from everyone else, so I noticed it instantly!! "Ah Lai, you help me keep an eye on that person."
Without further ado. My face changed. Immediately said to the guard: "You follow him and go in together." ”
"I'm waiting for you with Yuan Bao at that eatery on the street outside the alley."
I made a decision right away, and sometimes, the opportunity is fleeting and I need to make a quick decision, and if I hesitate, it may not be there!
"Ah Lai, do you recognize that person?" I asked hurriedly, I was worried that he wouldn't see it clearly at a hurried glance, but I was going to stare at it myself. The goal is a little bigger.
After all, I won a lot of money in the gambling house, so I turned back this time. The people inside will definitely notice me, and a person who says he wants to leave, it's not appropriate to go back, so try not to do it if you don't want me.
"No problem, Childe."
Ah Lai's answer didn't disappoint me, he saw it clearly!
"You don't have to stare at it for too long, it's about a cup of tea."
A cup of tea was enough to hear what I wanted to know and confirm my suspicions.
The guard immediately shook his head and said, "But, Childe, the gambling house is chaotic here, how can the small one go away?" Steward Fu said, the small one will protect you. “
I looked at him speechlessly and sighed, can't this person be flexible? It's really stubborn! "It's okay, I'll stay on the street with Yuan Bao and wait for you," I persuaded the guard, "even if someone targets us, we have to pick someone to do it in a secluded place." ”
I deliberately emphasized to him: "They still don't dare on the street, you can go in and stare at people." “
"Ah Lai, it was okay in the tea shop before, you don't have to worry." This time, Yuan Bao also stood up to help me speak, "After a while, Childe will be fine." “
Although Yuan Bao couldn't figure out the situation, he heard the order that I want to escort him into the gambling house, so he consciously stood on the front line with me and helped persuade Ah Lai. "Hurry up, or you won't hear first-hand news!"
I was a little anxious in my heart, and I couldn't help urging him.
I watched the escort Ah Lai re-approach the door of the gambling house before I breathed a sigh of relief, turned to Yuan Bao and said, "Let's go, let's go to the street and wait for him to come back." “
I walked out of the alley with Yuan Bao and walked out into the lively street.
There was a lot of traffic outside, but we couldn't go far, because we had to wait for the guards to come back and report the news.
I looked left and right and went straight to the snack bar at the corner of the street.
There are a few tables on the street of the snack bar, and a few customers are sitting on them, eating, and the aroma comes from a burst.
Yuan Bao and I chose to sit here, and the guards only had to come out of the gambling house in the alley, and the walkway would be the first to see us.
Easy to find, eye-catching, exactly what I wanted!
I calmed down a bit, looked at the things ordered by the customers around me, and realized that this shop was selling stew.
I ate dim sum at the teahouse and drank their tea, which tasted average but quenched my thirst.
At this time, I can't eat the heavy flavor of stew, but it is not easy for me and Yuanbao to sit here, so I ordered one for Yuanbao.
The steaming braised boiled up, I didn't want it myself, how could the ingots be embarrassed to feast in front of me?
It wasn't until I reminded him that the shopkeeper would feel strange again, how could someone order something and look at it and not eat, that Yuan Bao reluctantly moved his chopsticks.
He took a few bites with a worried expression and put down his chopsticks and looked at me.
Yuan Bao hesitated for a moment, pursed his lips and asked me in a low voice, "Childe, what's wrong with the person who passed by earlier?" ”
"Little one, look at your complexion has changed, what's wrong with him?" Yuan Bao asked after thinking carefully.
From the time I came out of the gambling house to the time I met the suspicious person at the entrance of the alley, I passed by. The process from start to finish is short.
The guards left immediately afterward, and the cold in the alley was not a good place for us to talk.
At this time, Yuan Bao finally found a suitable opportunity to ask questions!
I looked at him and smiled gently, "Yuanbao." Why don't you guess first? “
The boy rode through the streets west of the city and deliberately chose a relatively deserted street.
He crossed the stone bridge all the way without stopping, and quickly headed in the direction of the mansion in the east of the city.
When he arrived at the door, he saw the chubby figure waiting by the door, and the boy immediately arrived and got off the horse.
He and Ah Fu entered the mansion one after the other.
The courtyard of the house is very quiet, and the magnolia hall is far away. I have been in the north corner of the house, and I can't tell the movement on that side outside.
Ah Fu approached the young man and said in a questioning tone: "Third Young Master, how is the situation?" ”
The young man frowned and responded, "Let's go to the study." ”
Ah Fu nodded knowingly. Immediately behind the young man, the two men crossed the path and entered the study.
The young man's eyebrows moved from the moment he stepped onto the threshold.
"Xiaoling has been here?" The boy walked into the study and asked tentatively.
He noticed it when he walked in the door, except for the guy. I can't think of anyone who would come to his study while he was away!
After all, this is a forbidden place for the people in the courtyard. Naturally, he would not dare to come in without his permission.
Even if it's Ah Fu, he won't go in and out at will while he's not there, he knows that he wants to avoid suspicion, but that person, yes, that person seems to be the exception forever!
He lives in Qingyin Pavilion, he walks around the courtyard at will, and he goes out with the guards of the Yuwen family. Everything was approved by the teenager.
"That's right, the little one told him." Ah Fu hurriedly answered, glanced at the young man quickly, and said, "You explained when you left, you can take things in the courtyard at will, so Lin Gongzi seems to have been here." ”
The corners of the young man's lips moved, and he said in a low tone, "Didn't you let him go and see the injuries of the one in the Magnolia Hall?" Feel free to take things, that's how he understands it? ”
Ah Fu didn't answer, and looked at the third young master of his family for a moment and was not angry, but his mood seemed to have improved, he felt a little surprised, but he still shrunk his neck and said boldly: "Third young master, you are not the first time that Lin Gongzi has come back. ”
The young man glanced at Ah Fu unexpectedly, and seeing that the other party's expression was a little dazed, he nodded and said, "Yes, it's not the first time to come back." ”
He glanced around the room, then stopped in the room to the east.
He knew where everything was placed here, so at a glance, he could see that something in the East House had been touched.
The young man threw Ah Fu in place, did not continue to talk to him, and walked to the east house to check quietly.
There were still a few pieces of paper on the small table in the corner of the room, which seemed to be in a hurry after use, and I didn't have time to clean them up.
The young man's eyes froze, and he picked up one of them and opened it to look over, and it was obviously a picture with a broken painting.
There are only a few strokes on the paper, but it is a mountain of paintings.
He frowned and paused for a few seconds, then subconsciously raised his head to look at the east wall, yes, it was the map that was drawn.
Looking at the size of the difference, it seems that there is something wrong?
The boy opened another discarded piece of paper on the table.
This time, there were more things drawn on the paper, but if you focus on the lines and sizes on the paper, it is indeed the map on the east wall.
The boy pondered for a moment, and finally came to the conclusion that the guy was indeed drawing a map, but only part of it.
The part north of Suzhou.
What does he want to do?
Ah Fu kept looking at the face of his third young master, and looked at the other party as if he had something on his mind, and lowered his voice and asked, "Third young master, have you heard the news?" ”
"What does the government say?"
After speaking, Ah Fu's expression was quite nervous.
The young man held the open and closed piece of painting paper in his hand, walked back to the main room, sat down at the desk, looked at Ah Fu and said, "The doctors in Suzhou City, the people from the government sent them to the residence of Wang Shi. ”
As soon as these words came out, Ah Fu was suddenly startled, looked at the young man and said in surprise: "Went to the place where Wang Shi was stationed?" ”
Ah Fu almost thought that he had misheard, and had to confirm it.
The young man replied in a low voice: "Yes, Wang Shi is stationed." ”
"But in Suzhou City, how can there be no wind at all?" Ah Fu stammered, "It stands to reason that it shouldn't be so calm!" ”
He was a little short of words for a while, and he didn't know how to express his thoughts.
The young man glanced at him coldly and said, "This time is more special." ”
"Wang Shi arrived near Suzhou, but did not enter the city," the young man paused, and continued, "I went around the city to the north, and chose a quiet place to camp temporarily. ”
"Third Young Master, the news was told to you by someone from the government?" Ah Fu didn't understand the trick, so he couldn't help but ask.
The young man didn't answer, just nodded again, and looked at Ah Fu with a calm expression. "According to this, Wang Shi doesn't plan to enter Suzhou City, go around the city directly, and then go to the north?"
Ah Fu speculated in his heart, and still felt a little strange when he spoke.
"I don't know for the time being, but as it stands, it does."
The young man said in an affirmative tone, then he stood up, paced around the room a few laps with his hands in his hands, and when he stopped, he looked at Ah Fu and asked, "What's going on over there in Yulan Hall?" ”
"Has Xiaoling seen that person's injury?"
Ah Fu was stunned, he didn't know how his young master could change the topic so quickly!
The third young master seemed to deliberately avoid the matter of the Sealan Royal Master and didn't want to talk about it deeply, and his focus shifted to Yulan Hall in an instant.
"Adei from the big kitchen made some food and sent it to them, as for Lin Gongzi, he couldn't go in!"
Ah Fu's face was slightly embarrassed, and he told the boy what happened in the morning.
The latter listened to what he had said, bowed his head and remained silent. "What is Xiaoling's reaction?" The young man asked.
Ah Fu naturally said everything he saw, and then looked at his little master and said, "Later, Lin Gongzi came to your study." "Well, I stayed here and painted." The corners of the young man's mouth moved, "Xiaoling, he's not badly interested." "Third Young Master, although our family's injury medicine is easy to use, but Miss Hua's injury is best to be carefully examined by the doctor." "It is reasonable for Lin Gongzi to avoid suspicion, not to mention that Miss Hua is not willing to show him, when you inquire about the news, do you know when Dr. Qian will come back?"
Ah Fu rolled his eyes and thought about it, but decided to remind the third young master.
The people of the Hua family are guests of the Yuwen family for one day in the east of the city.
No matter what the other party does, Miss Hua's injury is true, and she can't let it go, and she needs to be seen by the doctor. "I should be back in the evening." The young man said in a deep voice, "She doesn't want Xiaoling to see the injury, she should be able to wait." "Actually, on the way to invite Lin Gongzi, they met Ah Dai in the big kitchen," Ah Fu felt that he should also talk to his third young master about that matter.
In particular, the menu is still listed by the people of Magnolia Hall, isn't the result changed?
"At that time, Yulantang gave a list for Adele to prepare a meal." (To be continued......)
