Xu Zigui's back was a little stiff, but he didn't dare to look back at this time. I wanted to wait near Zhao's house sooner rather than later, but I didn't want to, and I actually felt a ...... If this is done, everything will fall short.

Taking a deep breath, Xu Zigui asked in a low voice, "Where did she go?" ”

"About fifty steps left......

....... you're quite specific.

The corners of Xu Zigui's mouth twitched slightly, took a deep breath, tried to make himself look calmer, took out his brand from the cuff and handed it to the guard, and said, "It's not a secret, the slave maid is actually doing things for the crown princess." ”

As he spoke, he glanced at Si Qin, who was getting closer and closer, and continued: "The one in the back is our concubine De's henchman, we are on duty together on weekdays, she must know if Concubine De asked me to come out to do errands......"

The implication is that although he is at Concubine De, his heart is actually a person who is the princess at the princess, and he is also working for the princess when he goes out of the palace this time, but he doesn't want to happen to meet Concubine De's henchman. If you let him know that he is going to leave the palace, he will definitely stab Concubine De, and if he finds out at that time, it will not be good for the tired princess to be fishy.

The guard was under the command of Mo Ziyuan, naturally from the prince's faction, this son naturally would not dismantle Xu Zigui's platform, nodded, and when Si Qin was still one step away, the guard quickly opened the door, and quietly gave Xu Zigui the eyes of the master and servant to signal them not to look back, while scolding loudly: "Sending someone out of the palace early in the morning to procure, serving the princess is really not an easy job...... Hey, you, which palace are you from? ”

As soon as Xu Zigui and the servant left the palace, the guard closed the door and stopped Si Qin, with impatience on his face: "Which palace are you from?" What's the matter of going out so early? ”

"Slave maid Xueyuan Palace Siqin," the mood on an errand early in the morning was naturally not good, Siqin did not suspect anything, but smiled and talked to the guard: "You also know, how can this master serve the master do whatever he wants, and he doesn't have to listen to the master's orders early in the morning?" The girl who left the palace just now was from that palace? ”

"What do you do with so much," the guard looked at Si Qin's sign, hurriedly opened the door and rushed out to her: "Let's go, come back early." ”

Si Qin pursed her lips, but she didn't insist on inquiring, after all, she could also hear from the guard's scolding and scolding just now that those two people were doing things for the princess, and the princess was not a threat to them, and she didn't need to take it to heart. Therefore, he didn't say anything more, nodded to the guard, and left the palace in a hurry.

Xu Zigui had been waiting for Si Qin to come out in a hidden place, so he gave Yuerong a look and motioned for her to follow.

"Aren't you together?"

"It's good if you go along, Bengong will follow, if you don't do your kung fu, you will inevitably startle the snake, it's better to go yourself."

Xu Zigui is right, Yuerong will do some kung fu, and it is effortless to track Siqin who has no kung fu, but if you add a Xu Zigui, Yuerong has to take care of Xu Zigui again, and pay attention to Siqin's movements at any time.

"That mother's safety ......"

After all, Xu Zigui has no power to restrain the chicken, if he encounters any danger......

"It's okay, this palace will go to Liu Zijin's original house to have a look."

Now Liu Liang goes there to rest when he has nothing to do at night, Liu Liang will do some work himself, and there are a few people in that house who know, and Liu Liang did not hire anyone to watch it, and when no one is around, he locks it to prevent thieves from entering. Today, Liu Liang followed Mo Chengyuan to the Zongren Mansion to investigate the prisoners, which means that there is no one in the house now, Xu Zigui can go over and see if he can find anything.

Knowing that Xu Zigui had other arrangements, Yuerong didn't insist, nodded and instructed: "Niangniang, pay attention to safety, doesn't it mean that someone in our palace has been paying attention to us these days, maybe someone will follow us when we come out." ”

Xu Zigui nodded: "This palace knows ......"

As he spoke, he looked at Si Qin, who was getting farther and farther away, and said, "Go and keep up, don't lose it, you just don't let people find out, it doesn't matter if I can't find anything here." ”

Yuerong nodded, flew and followed Si Qin, and Xu Zigui found a carriage to go to Liu Liang's current residence.

The door is locked, naturally there is no way to enter from the gate, Xu Zigui looked around, and finally found a low wall, raised his eyebrows, looked at the scattered stone bricks on the side, and was about to build up the stone bricks, but remembered that if he came back before he came out of Liuliang, he would know that his residence was a thief when he saw this, and this method was really not advisable.

But if you don't climb over the low wall, Xu Zigui really can't find it...... Other places you can go in...... The hole in front seems to be good.

Xu Zigui raised his eyebrows, watched the hole walk forward, lowered his body and studied it carefully for a while, hooked the corners of his mouth, got up and walked towards a stone brick.

Picked up a relatively large stone brick and knocked on the hole, sure enough, this old wall is not strong, and there is such a dog hole here, and many stones fall when you knock it.

Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one around, Xu Zigui knocked hard a few times, and the hole looked a little bigger than before, and knocked it a few more times, until he was sure that he could fully drill into it, he threw the stone brick in his hand to the side, and then was satisfied to drill into the enlarged dog hole.

"What is this?"

"You can eat what you are given, can you still poison you?"

"You'd better treat me better, or believe it or not I'll demolish you."

"Heh, then let's see if you live to tell these things."

The tone is very contemptuous and rampant.

Xu Zigui's first reaction was that there were other people living here besides Liu Liang, and then he thought about it, a person of Xiang Liuliang's status is naturally the less contact with people, the better, and Liu Liang has always been a withdrawn person, how can he live with people who don't even look for someone who lives by himself on weekdays?

Therefore, the people in this must have been arranged by Mo Chengyuan.

Xu Zigui raised his eyebrows, pondering what kind of people Mo Chengyuan had found in the past few days to be a demon, and there was movement inside.

"At the beginning, what you promised was just to let me live in another place, and you said that you would eat and drink like a servant, but now you just let me live in a firewood room, eat these meals that are about to be rancid, and punch and kick me if I am not careful, why should I keep my word and not demolish you."

"Heh, you're reasoning with me?"

As if he had heard a big joke, the man suddenly burst out laughing: "Here's the truth!" You tell me a. ”

What an arrogant tone...... In this way, Xu Zigui saw and listened to a lot of words, sneered in his heart, and did not plan to continue listening, so he secretly went to Liu Liang's study with his waist bent.

Liu Liang's study was also locked, although there was only one lock, Xu Zigui knew that there must be something extremely important in it. She remembered that when she was a child, she ran to her father's outer study to play, saw that the door of the outer study was locked, and asked Wei Guogong for the key.

Wei Guogong naturally would not hand over the key to the study to a child. At that time, she was ignorant, and she had a long temper tantrum with her father about this matter. Later, her brother explained to her that there were very important things in it, and if they were lost, it would lead to the death of the whole family, so Xu Zigui stopped clamoring for the key. However, Xu Zigui also asked Xu Ziyu at that time, obviously in his own home, and they were all his own people, why did he still lock up.

At that time, Xu Ziyu told Xu Zigui that ordinary people's study only hid books, and they would not be locked. Only high-ranking and powerful families like them, or those princes who participated in the seizure of the heir, will always hide some important copywriting in the outer study, and if they are accidentally lost, it will lead to a catastrophe of death, so they will be locked.

In fact, the ancient building is still quite intriguing, unless it is your own family, otherwise you will not know which place in this home is the outer study.

Because the outer study hides the most important place, even if it has been done many times, those thieves who fly off the wall will still start from the place with the most locks, or follow the most dangerous place is the safest place, and start from the place with only one lock.

In fact, most people will lock two locks in the study outside, and then lock three locks in a nearby room, and the rest of the place is either one or two, in short, people can't scratch their heads.

There are two locks in the study of the Weiguo Mansion, but the characteristic of the Weiguo Mansion is that there are two locks in every place. And Mo Ziyuan's outer study is not locked. Mo Ziyuan's outer study is guarded by secret guards all year round, and there is no need to lock it to startle the snake.

And the reason why Xu Zigui knew Liu Liang's outer study was because of that lock. Don't look at all the places in Liu Liang that have a lock, but the lock in this place is made of the same material as the lock on the door.

The lock guarding the gate is naturally the best and the most difficult to be picked open, and the lock of the outer study is naturally the same.

Looking around, seeing that there was no one, Xu Zigui took a few steps forward, picked up the lock and put it in his hand to look at the keyhole, raised his eyebrows, and took out the wire that had been prepared long ago from his sleeve - Xu Zigui didn't learn anything else in modern times, and at that time, in order to verify the insecurity of locks with keyholes, they had been taught how to unlock locks in eighteen martial arts...... Because the whole department has this teacher's class, at that time, Xu Zigui's classmates in the entire department all became the king of unlocking, if it weren't for the fact that most of the advanced modern people have become password locks, fingerprint locks or something, it is estimated that Xu Zigui would have become the king of Chinese locks if he was still alive in modern times.

Stretch the wire into the keyhole, find the right position, and with a slight twist, the lock will open.

Therefore, modern people talk about the wisdom of ancient people all day long, but if it is really compared, it is still advanced modern culture that is smarter.

This seemingly complicated lock still loses to a small wire.

To be honest, Xu Zigui didn't expect that an illegitimate son like Liu Liang would be a subordinate to others, and he wouldn't have many books, but when he entered Liu Liang's outer study, Xu Zigui was a little shocked, she really didn't expect Liu Liang to be an intellectual.

"It can't be all decorations, right?" Xu Zigui raised his eyebrows, picked a book and opened it and turned two pages, but he didn't expect to see the mark that Liu Liang did inside: "I didn't expect to really read ......"

Put the book back in its place, and flipped through a few more books, seeing that Liu Liang was really reading these, Xu Zigui couldn't help but feel a little chilled, it turned out that Liu Liang's strategy, every time he was in a hurry, he was not smart in his self-righteousness, but he really read it very seriously and hard. Such a good and serious person may not be his opponent......

After putting the books in his hand back to their original places, Xu Zigui opened Mo Ziyuan's desk and began to open the letters, but found that Liu Liang's desk was too neat and tidy, and it was neatly arranged one by one, either the tasks assigned by Mo Chengyuan were some books, and those tasks assigned by Mo Chengyuan were all tasks ordered by the emperor and were above board...... These things are useless at all......

Although I thought in advance that I might not find anything, I was really a little disappointed at this time. After packing up all the things for Liu Liang and putting them back in their place, he was about to leave, but when he straightened his waist, a way to see Mo Ziyuan hiding things suddenly flashed in his mind.

Xu Zigui squinted, turned around and began to flip through the bookshelves behind him one by one.

Last time, when Xu Zihui went to the outer study to look for Mo Ziyuan, he happened to see Mo Ziyuan hiding a secret letter - he took out a book from the bookshelf and put the secret letter in the book.

Naturally, that book would not be a normal book, but a hole was dug in the middle and made into a book pattern, which was specially used to hide things inside......

At that time, Xu Zi returned that Mo Ziyuan was insidious and cunning, but he didn't expect Liu Liang to think of such a solution. With such an opponent of equal strength, although Mo Chengyuan's brain is not very useful, with a military advisor like Liu Liang and internal help like Ji Mingyue, Mo Chengyuan is indeed a powerful opponent......

While complaining in his heart, he kept flipping through one by one in his hand, in order to clean up for a while, Xu Zigui turned over a book and put it back in its original place, which was much more troublesome than throwing it aside casually after turning over a place. The hard work finally paid off, and when I turned to Sun Tzu's Art of War, I finally turned out the hidden letters.

Such a secret hidden letter should be something unknown bad that Mo Chengyuan told Liu Liang to do. Xu Zigui hooked the corners of his mouth and took it out of it.

Just about to open it, Xu Zigui heard a sound of talking not far away, Xu Zigui was shocked, she didn't know martial arts, and she could hear the sound of people talking, indicating that these people had already walked in.

At this time, it is too late to go out again. (To be continued.) )
