Chapter 9: The Mystery Man
Wei Wufu is in the house
In the early morning, all the slaves and maids in the house woke up. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 InfoAlthough Wei Wuyu hasn't come back yet (or they think Wei Wuyu hasn't come back yet), they still have a lot to do. A few slaves and maids held brooms with basins of water, and they even rubbed their eyes from time to time. In fact, there is only a library in this garden, strange to say, although there are many books in it, Wei Wuyu has never been in it, and usually only a few of them come to clean it slightly. Raise your eyes and see that there are inexplicably two more guards at the gate of the West Courtyard today.
"What's wrong?" One asked.
"You don't have to clean up here today, you can go back."
A few people were strange but happy, took a few steps back and turned around to put on a smiling face, and at this time I was afraid that I would be able to sleep for a while when I went back.
It's autumn, and after a night, the leaves of the plane trees in the west courtyard have fallen a lot. There are also cyan leaves spread on the stone slab reflecting the wooden building in front of it, which is a bit poetic. The cat is hiding among the branches and leaves of the plane tree.
The hiding room in front of him flickered and flickered, and there were no human figures in sight, only faint voices coming from time to time. One is Wei Wuyu, one is the old voice, probably the 'Gong Xi', and the other is the other.
Hu Mao'er didn't dare to get close, and he couldn't hear clearly, probably only heard 'Baoyue Lake', 'Changhuang', 'Swallow Chasing', 'Lianyunzhai' and so on.
This is enough to frighten Hu Mao'er. Do they still associate the swallow chase with the matter of Baoyue Lake?
Suddenly, one raised his voice, "I'll ask her." If it is really a swallow chasing, it will be at your disposal. I don't have another word. ”
Hu Mao'er sighed in his heart, this person recognizes the swallow chasing!
Inside the house, Wei Wuyu suddenly looked at the plane tree outside the window. Someone! Wei Wufu was shocked, and walked slowly a few steps to push the window to look. The courtyard was empty, the people on the trees were gone, and a few sycamore leaves fell to the ground.
has already startled the snake, Hu Mao'er did not dare to stay in Wei Wuyu's mansion any longer. He went back to the gambling house, closed the door, took a breath, and sat cross-legged.
There was such a big thing in Half Moon Lake, and it was not surprising that Wei Wuyu hurried back. There were at least three people in the study, one of them should be 'Gongxi', and who would the other be? What is the relationship between him and Swallow Chase? The sun was getting higher and higher, and the shadows of the willows outside the gambling house were getting shorter and shorter, and then lengthened to the east, and it was already dusk.
The dog barked three times, and the door of the small gambling house was suddenly pushed open. When Hu Mao'er opened his eyes, Su Ru was already standing in front of him.
"What's going on?" Hu Mao'er asked.
"That thing is lost." Su Rudao, his cold voice trembling with seven points of fear.
Hu Mao'er stared at Su Ru, "I already let you deal with it, why do you still keep it?" As he spoke, he got up and stared at Su Ruxiao and asked, "Who do you want to threaten while staying?" ”
"Nope. I just want to ......" Su Ru lowered her head and said aggrievedly, her voice choked as if she was about to cry. Before he finished speaking, he heard a 'bang', and a dagger flew over Su Ru's neck and plunged straight into the rear pillar. The dagger sank into the wooden pillar by five inches!
Su Ru looked up in shock, staring at his eyes and not daring to speak again. The trills of daggers were heard from behind.
"What do you think you're thinking I'm not going to know? Are you trying to get rid of us by threatening Yunshang? Have one's head in the clouds! Hu Mao'er said angrily, bypassing the stiff Su Ru and pulling out the dagger on the wooden pillar, slowly returning to the table and sitting down, and suddenly sneered, "You are unwilling, I know." But I warned you not to try to play tricks on me. Tell me, what's going on. I don't want to listen to anymore. ”
Su Ru felt a chill on her body, raised her hand and touched the blood mark left by the dagger on her neck, as if her whole body was tense, and her voice was stiff. Su Ru froze, and looked at Hu Mao'er's smiling eyes suddenly went blank, "I buried my bloody clothes under the osmanthus tree in the Yunshang Palace, I want to exchange this for a shelter." A few days ago, it rained, and the cat raised by Yunshang accidentally dug up the bloody clothes. When Yunshang saw it, it happened that the thunder was continuous, and Yunshang thought that the ghost of the old emperor was coming to ask for his life and was frightened into a mad fuss. It should be this time to get the attention of others. After that, I hid the bloody clothes again, and yesterday I found that it was gone. ”
"Who saw the bloody clothes when they appeared?" Hu Mao'er asked.
"There were two palace maids who saw it. But it won't be them. "Su Rudao.
"Huh!" Hu Mao'er sneered, "You killed them?" You are ruthless and you learn quickly. Who else? ”
"There were guards coming, but I had people stop them, telling them that the Queen Mother was frightened and was fine, and no one was allowed to enter. No one else saw it. ”
"I don't know if you're smart or stupid, or if you're just calculating. Wouldn't it be more suspicious if you didn't let you in? Hu Mao'er sneered, and then looked at Su Rudao, "If you lose it, you will lose it." This is the trouble for Wei Wuyu and Yunsheng. Wei Wuyu is still there, this bloody coat can only be hidden no matter where it is, you can go back. ”
"Yes." Su Ru bowed his head and replied, but he didn't leave.
"What else?"
"Wei Wufu sent a letter asking the emperor to personally order the execution of a prisoner." Surudao.
"He Wei killed people in vain and still wanted the emperor to give an order?" Hu Mao is strange.
"It's the swallow chasing." Surudao.
Hu Mao'er was stunned, no wonder the emperor personally ordered it, this was to drag the entire Daxian to confront Lianyunzhai. Did he want to execute Yan Zichai because he found something, or was it because he would rather kill by mistake than misplace'? Hu Mao'er naturally picked up the two dice, and his heart was clear, "When will the execution?" ”
"Tomorrow afternoon."
Tomorrow? Why are you in such a hurry? Hu Mao'er thought about it and suddenly understood that the night was long and dreamy, and with Wei Wuyu's character, he would feel too late tomorrow!
Hu Mao'er seemed to be talking to Su Ru, and seemed to be talking to herself, "It's okay to share hardships, you should send her!" Hu Mao'er looked at the dagger and suddenly laughed again. It is said that people will say something before they die, and if she talks nonsense tomorrow, she can only send her away in advance.
Suddenly, there were a few knocks on the door, and one said, "There's a kid who wants to see you!" ”
"Which kid?" Hu Mao'er is strange,
"I sent the news to him before, but then I made a mistake and broke my finger, and then you asked him to go back and raise it."
Hu Mao'er remembered, but it didn't make a difference if he didn't break his finger first and then let him go back to recuperate. Hu Mao'er said, "Let him in." The man outside the door agreed, and after a short time the door creaked open, and a child entered the door with a smirk. He looked left and right as if he had something to ask for, and after he came in, he was a little restrained, his hands were clenched tightly, and his face stiffened with a smile. Su Ru pulled her shirt and hat down a little and withdrew.
"What's the matter?" Hu Mao'er laughed.
The child said, "I wanted to ask...... Is that going to the prison to change people over? Because it's been so many days, we want to know when she'll be back? ”
So that's what happened. "Tomorrow." Hu Mao'er looked at the child with a smile and said, "Do you know how to drive?" ”
"Yes." The child said.
Hu Mao'er smiled, "Tomorrow you accompany me to do something." ”
Tomorrow, no matter whether the swallow chases him or not, the prison will always lift the ban.
