"Come and help the Hou Ye go back to the room to rest."

Yuan Jin said coldly, and after Guangsheng's little servant came out to take over, he pulled Xiaogu and turned around and walked out of the Hou Mansion.

The night on the long street is as cold as water, and the cloudless night sky is twinkling with stars, and it is clear that tomorrow will be a sunny day.

The street corners were still full of horse-drawn carriages, and the scattered people were squatting or sitting waiting. On the other side of the long street, the sound of drums and bamboos is still faintly audible.

Xiao Gu and Yuan Jin sat in the carriage, she looked at the exquisite Hunan embroidered cushions inside and the pearls hanging on the four-corner ribbons, and felt that Guangping Bo was worthy of being the emperor's favorite minister and son-in-law, and his family background was definitely much thicker than that of the Marquis of Jining.

The carriage galloped away, but Xiao Gu was worried, she glanced at Yuan Jin, and asked in a low voice, "Do you know who leaked the Dao?" ”

"It is said that it was a woman who confessed, and it was from your Jinlan Society."

Xiao Gu instantly thought of the red note, could it be her?

She thought about it back and forth, and felt more and more that it was most likely her.

But even if it was a red note, she didn't know the exact hiding place!

The only people who have been to that place are the second sister and Qin Yao.

But the two of them would never do this.

What went wrong?

Xiao Gu was puzzled, and Yuan Jian on the side said in a low voice: "I came to you as soon as I got the news, if I go directly, I'm afraid that they won't believe me." ”

Xiao Gu looked at him, "Why do you want to help me?" ”

Yuan Jin was stunned for a moment, but then smiled slightly bitterly, "My two younger brothers have boarded your thief ship, if I leave it out, wouldn't it be unjust to my brother?" ”

"That's a far-fetched reason."

Xiao Gu stared at his expression and whispered.

With the honor and favor of the Guangping Boyuan family in the emperor, even if there are really children who are mixed up with Jinlan, as long as they report it in time and say that they are young and ignorant and bewitched, there will be no problem in saving their lives.

Looking at Xiao Gu's skeptical and disbelieving gaze, Yuan Jin smiled slightly. With a sparkle in her eyes, she gently lifted a strand of her sideburns, pulled it back with a hairpin, and said in a low voice: "If I say that I fell in love with you at first sight, so I am willing to help, do you believe it or not?" ”

Xiao Gu frowned, pulled out the silver hairpin, re-twisted it with his own hands, and said with a slight mockery: "Lord Qianhu." I think ......"

"Huh?"

His eyes were blazing, and he looked at her with interest.

"I think you're more drunk than my young master, and your drunken words are funnier!"

She raised her eyebrows and finished speaking, but the man was not angry, but a mysterious smile appeared on his lips, "True or false, I will let you know my mind." ”

Xiao Gu glared at him with a smile - she wouldn't believe that this man was fascinated by herself, so she was willing to do his best to help the thief.

He must have had a purpose.

The two of them have their own thoughts. After a while, we were in another alley behind the coffin shop.

"Don't get any closer to the carriage, otherwise you will be targeted, and if something happens again, there will be trouble in your house."

Yuan Jinzhi said that what she said was that Yuan Wu was hiding Wang Lin in private. While helping her out of the car, he smiled bitterly: "The fifth brother is the widow of the third uncle, Mrs. Tai has always loved him, and he studies behind closed doors all year round. That's why he is so ignorant and bold as he is. ”

He sighed and said with emotion: "The fifth brother has a deep affection for Wang Lin, and he is willing to do anything for him." ”

"But he almost dragged the entire Yuan family to be convicted."

Xiao Gu has a lot of opinions about Yuan Wu. Although Yuan Wu is to help the people of the Jinlan Society, he is very selfish and willful to compare his heart with his heart and disregard his family in such a way.

"I envy him."

Yuan Jian sighed again, his eyes were complicated and distant, "He can ignore it and do things according to his own will, but I can't." ”

What's there to envy about this?

Xiao Gu couldn't understand his thinking, but the three brothers in this family had their own strange temperaments, and she didn't care.

While speaking, the two had quietly entered the backyard of the coffin shop, and immediately a gatekeeper opened the secret room.

The air in the chamber was cloudy and crowded, and many people were asleep, but they were awakened by a light at the door, and their sleepy eyes were yawning.

"Wake up, get out of here."

Xiao Gu said coldly, which immediately scared away everyone's sleepiness, and under the dim light, the faces of all the women looked pale and uncertain, and they were at a loss.

"Twelve Sisters......

Xiao An jumped off the simple wooden bed, but the pretty melon seeds had a precocious maturity that did not match her age, "Is something wrong?" ”

Xiao Gu leaned over to tie her long hair and tied it into a bunch on top of her head, "We have to transfer immediately." ”

The people in the secret room were even more agitated when they heard this, and some of them were already trembling with timidity.

"Is the court coming to arrest someone? I'm really miserable, I didn't want to escape if I knew the way, and now I'm in the barracks! ”

It was the unpopular Arjun who said this, she patted her thigh and howled: "You traitors have dragged us down, and we will have our share in killing a thousand knives at the entrance of the vegetable market in the future!" ”

The mournful and vulgar shouts pierced the silence of the night, causing the women next to them to cry out in grief.

"Shut up, are you trying to bring everyone in?"

Xiao Gu frowned, suppressed his anger and scolded.

"So what, it is better to die here than to flee in fear with you!"

Arjun didn't care about it, Xiao Gu's figure swept out like lightning, and when she reacted, her cold fingers had already choked her throat.

The cold and emotionless gaze glanced coldly, which made her heart cold, and then someone pinched her mouth open, threw in a black pill, and after forcibly swallowing, her throat was hot and stinging, and she made a loud but silent sound.

"This medicine can make you dumb for a day, if you continue to make noise and attract officers and soldiers, I will have to give you real poison."

Xiao Gu's voice was not loud but full of coldness, swept over the women, and implied a warning: "Evacuate quickly, if you continue to fall into the hands of officers and soldiers......"

She didn't say any more, but the terrible shadow of reality hung over everyone's heads like a three-foot blade.

Next, no one dared to make any more trouble, and smoothly packed up and started to leave within the time of a cup of tea.

In the winding and narrow alleys, the dim air dead wind lamps swayed in the wind, and the ground was full of baskets of debris, which looked black and dark, and became more and more ghostly and gloomy.

The women held the small bags tightly, holding hands, and walked forward with light steps, most of which were also wrapped in small feet, and they seemed to be struggling and stumbling slowly.

Suddenly, a black shadow flashed in front of her, and someone was so frightened that she was about to scream, Xiao An on the side was quick to move, jumped up and covered her mouth, regardless of her whimpering and struggling, and whispered: "That's just a cat." ”

Xiao Gu stood in front and illuminated the corner with the corner lamp in his hand, and sure enough, a fluffy cat shadow rushed away, and there was a sharp meow. (To be continued......)
