Prelude (3)
Chu Mansion, in Chu Yan's room.
Chu Yan sat on the red sandalwood chair that was rewarded by the current emperor, and his face was grim: "Have you found it?" ”
A man dressed in black knelt before him: "The subordinates are incompetent." ”
"Waste, after four days of investigation, I can't find a single clue, what's the use of raising you."
With a flick of his sleeve, the tea set on the table fell in response.
The maid outside the door trembled and immediately moved three meters away.
"Li'er, go and invite your aunt to come." The old grandmother outside the door instructed one of the maids.
The maid hurriedly left.
"Master Hou, please calm your anger, it's the fault of your subordinates, your subordinates are willing to be punished, but what your subordinates want to say is that it's not that your subordinates didn't have the heart to investigate, it's really that the forces behind the obstruction are too strong."
"Have you found out who's obstructing?" Chu Yan looked at him coldly, his eyes full of murderous intent.
The forehead of the kneeling man on the ground was slowly oozing sweat, and his back was already soaked with sweat.
He knew that as long as he said a word, the next moment, he was afraid that he would never have a chance to speak.
"This ...... The subordinates thought that Yan Luolou was the first floor in the world, and the only one who could hinder Yan Luolou's affairs was the Ice Pavilion, which had always been a mysterious killer in the rivers and lakes. ”
Chu Yan looked at him coldly and did not speak.
Bing Pavilion is a well-known killer pavilion in the rivers and lakes, collecting intelligence is extremely first-class, and his methods are clever, but he Yan Luolou is not bad, and there is no dispute of interests between the two parties, what reason does it Bing Pavilion have to hinder him.
But to say no, it is not uncommon for major gangs to stir up trouble behind their backs.
The rules of Bing Pavilion and Yan Luolou are that as long as you have money, it doesn't matter who you are, you can kill them.
It's just that in comparison, Bing Pavilion is hidden in the rivers and lakes, and the assassination mission has never failed, which is more famous than his Yan Luolou.
"The subordinates got the news, a few days ago, Yan Luolou took over a task, and sold the news of the sixth-ranked killer five in the Ice Pavilion to the host and guest, and then the murder five disappeared when he was helping the Ice Pavilion to perform the task, and the Bing Pavilion may blame Yan Luolou for this matter, and the subordinates heard that the murder five had received a task before, which was related to the history of the Fengzhou assassin."
Chu Yan's face turned grim.
"Shuya, you can study what kind of swordsmanship it is." After a long time, Chu Yan looked away and said.
Shu Yong exhaled quietly, and finally came back to life. Shuya said that the two fought very quickly at that time, and that man was extraordinary. If you weren't in a hurry to leave, you wouldn't have been stabbed by Shuya. This person's swordsmanship is extremely wonderful, and he can't tell which sect or sect is on the rivers and lakes. ”
"I can't tell which sect it is." In this way, this person's martial arts should be above Shuya. "Check again."
"Yes"
"In the palace, there is any new news."
"Back to the master, there is not much movement. Just ......"
"How?"
"It is said that the third prince is sick."
"It's just an unfavored prince, and when he's sick, he's sick." Chu Yan said disapprerovingly.
"Yes" Shu Yong hesitated for a moment and swallowed the words.
"Let Yan Luolou's people intercept and kill that batch of goods." "Yes" Shu Yong looked at his fierce eyebrows and lowered his head.
……
The morning sun is always exceptionally warm. Even in the early winter, I was wrapped in a sweater, but the ground was still cold. Mu Ge stretched lazily and sat up from the bed. Then he saw Bai Yi come in with a food box.
Dressed and out of bed, she washed her hands and face with the water she had prepared.
Sit down on the table and open the food box by the white clothes.
"Miss, this morning's refreshment kitchen is doing well, the old lady specially ordered someone to make a dish of Yu Potato, saying that it was sent to Miss to taste."
"Grandmother?"
"Yes, the old lady is really good to the young lady, and she will send things at the end of three days." Bai Yi pretended to be envious.
Mu Ge pinched her face, "Eat." ”
"Miss Xie"
These days, she is used to eating with the young lady, and she doesn't feel that there is anything wrong.
It's just that...... She picked up the potato on the plate and took a bite. "Miss, this snack is really good, try it."
"Okay" Mu Ge saw her pick up the middle of the Yu potato, took it, and took a very small bite, "Well, today's taro is fragrant enough." ”
A light white was revealed in the center of Yu Shu, Mu Ge quickly took it out and held it in his hand, "This thing is really hot." ”
"No, the small kitchen just came out, it's hot, but I'm a little thirsty when I drink, miss, I'll pour you some water."
"Okay," Mu Ge nodded.
The hand cautiously opened the note.
"Miss," Bai Yi brought the teacup, "the slave is ready." ”
Mu Ge turned sideways to pick it up, "Miss, the slave maid found out, five days ago, when Zizhu was still there, there was often a maid in the small kitchen who went to give Zizhu food." said that he was a relative in Zizhu's countryside, but the day after Zizhu left, the maid disappeared. ”
"Can you find out whose diet she was responsible for before, or rather, who in the house is sick?"
There was a commotion in the distance.
Mu Ge looked up, and saw Chun Lian, who was playing with Chunlan and Qiuju, kept raising his eyes to look here.
A few days ago, Chun Lian became a second-class maid, so she no longer needed to send her food, and the job fell to the two maids, but the food they sent for a few days was "not in line" with her heart. In order to let her eat well, Baiyi scolded them and brought her a boxed lunch.
She's naturally happy to see it happen.
So the two maids who were idle began to take turns to ask Chun Jian for advice in the house, but they never let Chun Jian get one step closer to the courtyard.
"When the tea is finished, the slave will go and add it to you."
Bai Yi took the cup and returned, "Miss be careful of burning." ”
In order to give her the cup better, she leaned over, "Miss, the slave knocked on the side, and the sick in the house, except for the old lady, only Aunt Bai was left." ”
"Aunt Bai" Mu Ge took the cup.
She doesn't look like a sick person. On weekdays, she looks alive and vigorous, and she is more energetic than her.
But if it was Chu's words, she was slapping her hand quickly and ruthlessly at that time, and it was unlikely that she was calculated, but it seemed to be calculating others.
"The slave maid heard that Aunt Bai's health is not good, so she has always adjusted her body according to the doctor's prescription on time, but it has not had much effect in the past few years."
"I see." Mu Ge took a sip of tea, "I want to drink cinnamon soup, and I will ask the small kitchen to bring it over tonight." ”
"Yes," Bai Yi said, taking the teacup she had handed over, "Miss, but are you still thirsty?" ”
"No, let's drink porridge, the porridge in the kitchen is sweet, and it's just right to drink at this time."
Bai Yi nodded.
Mu Ge picked up the porridge in front of her, glanced at the "person who was fighting", picked up the spoon and put it in her mouth.
Did you start to make a move again, this time she secretly went to see Chu Xianglin, but I don't know if she suffered or herself.
I clenched the note in my hand.
Bowing her head and smiling, she slowly swallowed the porridge that was brought to her mouth.
The small kitchen makes preserved egg and lean porridge, which is really sweet.
