Chapter 707: Darkness
Qi Guanyu hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Don't hide it from Brother Tai, I came from the official office of Yingcheng below, although I came from the famous name, but I do have something important to ask Master Xiang, and I bother Brother Tai to go in and report it." ”
Hearing the words "Yingcheng Official", the little guy immediately cheered up and looked at him in surprise.
"Wait a minute, sir." The little guy came back to his senses, turned around and ran in to report.
Ye Jinyu, who was standing at the foot of the steps, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately his cousin reacted quickly, otherwise this trip would have been in vain.
Not long after the little guy entered, a middle-aged man came out with them, his eyes swept over the three of them, and finally settled on Qi Guanyu, who was closest to him.
"Below is the housekeeper of Xiangfu, Gao Qing, dare to ask the official master?" The middle-aged man bowed and asked.
Ye Jinyu and Li Sui raised their eyebrows at the same time, thinking that the people in this mansion were really cautious.
"In Xiaying City, Cao Cao participates in the military, Qi Wei." Qi Guanyu introduced himself.
Gao Qing was shocked by his identity, everyone knew that Fa Cao was in charge of the prison law, deliberated and judged cases, supervised thieves, and knew that bribes were not entered.
Now the sudden visit of the highest-ranking official in Facao cannot help but make people think wildly.
Gao Qing stabilized his emotions and arched his hand and said, "I don't know why the adults are here?" My lord is not in the house today, if you have something urgent to tell the villain, if you are willing to wait, the villain will repair the book and ask the lord to come back. It's just that I have to bother the adults to run again tomorrow. ”
What does Gao Qing mean, Qi Guanyu and the three of them all know it.
When he said this, he not only refused their visit, but also tried to find out their intentions, and tried to find out their intentions, and tried to find a day to deal with it.
Qi Guanyu frowned imperceptibly, and thought for a moment before saying, "In this case, we will come back tomorrow and say goodbye." ”
Without giving the other party room to maneuver, he turned around and walked away.
Ye Jinyu and Li Sui also followed in time, and after walking a distance, Ye Jinyu finally couldn't help laughing, "Cousin definitely didn't see that uncle's expression just now, he looked like he was speechless after eating flies, he still wanted to trick you, but he was tricked, and he had to receive us tomorrow." ”
Qi Guanyu turned his head and saw that she was smiling brightly, and there seemed to be a small light flickering in her eyes, unconsciously attracting his attention. How could he not have realized that his cousin's smile was so vivid and bright, like the brightest flower in spring.
"Ahem." Li Sui coughed lightly beside him, Qi Guanyu suddenly came back to his senses, and realized that the corners of his mouth had been raised, and his heart was suddenly uncomfortable.
Hou Ye was watching from the side, if there was a misunderstanding, I was afraid that it would hurt my cousin, and I couldn't help but secretly worry that I had nothing to think about and look at.
"By the way, I don't know where Master Hou is staying?" Qi Guanyu quickly adjusted his mood and asked calmly.
Li Sui snorted coldly in his heart, but his face remained silent, and replied casually: "Tongyuan Inn, where is Brother Guanyu?" ”
"I live in the post station, and it seems that it is not far from the Tongyuan Inn." Qi Guan said.
Ye Jinyu was surprised: "Really? Then let's make an appointment tomorrow to set off to Xiangfu together. ”
"Okay, listen to my cousin." Qi Guanyu said with a smile.
Li Sui's mood was even worse, listening to their cousins and sisters chatting a few words as if no one was around, they finally couldn't bear it anymore, and took a big step forward to completely block Ye Jinyu behind him.
"I don't know if Brother Guanyu came to Tongyuan County this time for private affairs or official business?" Li Sui looked at Qi Guanyu as if nothing had happened, and asked.
Qi Guanyu was slightly surprised, but he didn't think much about it, and replied in a low voice: "Official business, Master Hou must have heard about this matter, and I also heard that someone from your mansion had acted as an official to investigate this matter. Although he didn't think much about it, the sudden interruption of his conversation with his cousin still made him feel very unhappy, and his tone was not as gentle as usual.
Ye Jinyu was very curious after hearing this, and turned sideways to avoid the person in front of him, but who knew that the other party seemed to have a pair of eyes behind him, and she went to the left and he also went to the left.
I was annoyed after hiding for a while, but it was not good to have a seizure in public on the street, so I could only continue to endure it. If you can't see people, you can't see them, and you can always hear sounds.
"It turns out that Brother Guanyu is for Zhou Si's business, isn't he dead, did he miss a trace here?" Li Sui didn't hear the last accusatory words, and asked unhurriedly.
Zhou Si and Ye Jinyu hurriedly pricked up their ears.
"Not really, it's just that Zhou Si's life experience was found, he was an orphan with no father and mother, and he had been begging for a living in Tongyuan County when he was a child." Qi Guanyu said.
Ye Jinyu couldn't help it, turned to one side, quickly grabbed Li Sui's arm, held it down and stretched out half of his body from behind him and asked, "Zhou Si is also from here, this is too coincidental, he won't have anything to do with my mother, right?" ”
Looking at it from Qi Guanyu's point of view, Ye Jinyu's whole body was lying on Li Sui's body, as if he was holding him from behind. What kind of system has become under this large public?
Qi Guanyu frowned, coughed lightly and wanted to remind his cousin to be more reserved and steady outside, but the other party didn't realize what he meant, and still stuck to Hou Ye's back. Heyuan Book Bar
After a while, pedestrians on the road looked at them, intentionally or unintentionally.
Li Sui didn't expect her to be so bold, but she still enjoyed it very much because she didn't resist touching herself. It's just that the gaze of the people around him made him unhappy, his eyes were cold, and he swept over, instantly scaring away those pedestrians who were looking around.
"Let's get to the carriage." Although Li Sui enjoyed the intimate contact with Jin Yu, he didn't want her to be watched all the time, so he proposed.
Their carriage had been following behind, and Ye Jinyu had more or less noticed the strange sights around him, and realized that he was holding Hou Ye in his arms, and immediately evacuated as if his hands had been burned.
happened to hear Hou Ye's words again, so he immediately stopped the carriage and got in.
Li Sui and Qi Guanyu successively. Coming in, Li Sui naturally sat next to Ye Jinyu, and Qi Guanyu sat next to the door frame in order to avoid suspicion.
"Cousin, what the hell is going on with Zhou Si?" Ye Jinyu opened his mouth first to ask the question just now.
Qi Guanyu explained to her: "Last time, my cousin asked me to help track down the mastermind who assassinated Hou Ye, but by the time we traced Zhou Si's traces, he was nowhere to be found. Later, I began to investigate Zhou Si's background, he was so deeply hidden, all the traces that appeared in various places in Yingcheng were erased, and I did not track it down until the last two days......"
Ye Jinyu was shocked, Zhou Si had been active in Yingcheng for at least ten years, but someone actually erased the traces of his activities for more than ten years in a dream, which was definitely not something that an ordinary rich man could do.
"Now it can be confirmed that Zhou Si lived in Tongyuan County until he was ten years old, and lived in a dilapidated temple. This ruined temple is the Canaan Temple that was later rebuilt, and it is heard that when Zhou Si was ten years old, there was a fire in the ruined temple, and his face was burned down at that time. After that, Zhou Si left Tongyuan County. Half a year later, the burned down temple was rebuilt and turned into the Canaan Temple, which is now full of incense. ”
"I heard that my mother also lived in this ruined temple when she was a child, and then my grandmother died of illness, and she was adopted by the Qi family. Could it be that my mother knew Zhou Si when she was a child? Ye Jinyu said in surprise.
Qi Guanyu shook his head, "This is not clear, only find Zhou Si and listen to his own explanation." I thought that if he had escaped with his wounds, he might have chosen a more familiar place to hide and recuperate. But yesterday we searched the Canaan Monastery for five miles, but we didn't find anything. ”
"Then are there any people in Tongyuan County who know Zhou Si?" Ye Jinyu asked.
"Not found yet." Qi Guanyu shook his head.
Li Yi said thoughtfully: "Zhou Si was very cautious in his past life, and he hid in Yingcheng for more than ten years without being discovered, but since the last time Ben Hou was assassinated, his whereabouts have suddenly been exposed. Not only did we find him, but Brother Guan Yu also found him, what does this mean? ”
Qi Guanyu stared at it and said suddenly: "Zhou Si has been completely exposed, so he was disposed of as an outcast by the people behind the scenes." But why did they go to the extra mile to expose his whereabouts? Doesn't it provide us with clues to follow up? ”
"I didn't figure it out either." Li Yi lowered his eyes and fell into deep thought.
The weightless feeling of falling ended in an instant, and her body fell heavily to the ground, but because the ground was slightly soft, it was not as painful as expected, and it didn't seem to be injured.
It's just that Hou Ye, a big and tall man, fell on her back, not only smashed her and ate a mouthful of mud, but her upper body seemed to be flattened, her breathing paused several times, and her head was covered for a while before she gradually regained consciousness.
"Uh-huh, hmm......" An uncomfortable moan sounded in his ears.
"Master Hou?" Ye Jinyu was startled, thinking that something was wrong with Hou Ye before this, I am afraid that he had already been injured, and now that he fell like this, did he aggravate his injury again?
She got up from the ground in a panic, but the other party's body was too heavy, she struggled for a long time and kept shouting "Hou Ye", and it took a long time to hear the other party respond weakly, but this also made her feel a lot more at ease.
When I finally got up, my skirt was covered with mud, and I suddenly felt that my clothes were much heavier. But she didn't have time to take care of these, so she was busy checking on the situation of Hou Ye.
It's just that they seem to have fallen into a hunting pit, and there is darkness all around, and neither shadow can be seen. She could only rely on her touch to help Hou Ye up, put it on her lap, and gently touched his body with her hand to find the injury.
"Yes, on the left shoulder, don't touch it...... It's okay, it's just an ordinary knife wound......" Li Sui's weak voice suddenly sounded in the dark, and the next second Ye Jinyu's hand was held by him.
"Knife wounds also have to be treated, in case of infection, tetanus, death, phew, Tong Yan Wuji, Tong Yan Wu Ji." Ye Jinyu pulled out his hand and took out a fire fold from his arms, and in a moment, a small cluster of flames jumped in the darkness.
The surroundings were instantly lit up, and sure enough, as she had guessed, this was a hunting pit. Holding the flame and looking at it a few times, I was relieved to see that the weeds and branches covering the entrance of the cave were still blocking it.
No wonder they had fallen for so long, and they hadn't been noticed by the men in black, it must have been because the night was too dark, and they hadn't noticed anything unusual on the ground, and they probably went in the other direction.
"Let me see." Li Sui's half body leaned on Ye Jinyu, and she gently moved his shoulder and stretched out her head to check her left shoulder.
When she saw clearly the whole bloodstain behind her left shoulder, and there was a ten-centimeter-long wound in the middle, she suddenly gasped, and a nameless fire rushed to her heart, and she couldn't help but blame: "Such a long knife wound, so much blood has flowed, you actually said it's okay, do you really want to die?" ”
Li Sui chuckled weakly, wanting to appease her a few words, but before she could speak, she was preempted by Ye Jinyu and said, "Take it!" ”
Li Sui was stunned for a moment, and the fire fold was stuffed into his hand by the other party.
Ye Jinyu lowered her head to find the purse, she remembered that she had brought a bottle of wound medicine before going out just in case. However, she was immediately deflated after touching it twice, how could she forget that they were suddenly attacked just now, and they ran out wearing their underwear.
"Now I don't know if the assassin is gone, and he can't go up for the time being, the conditions are limited, I can only find help to stop the bleeding." Ye Jinyu cheered up again and touched the clothes on her body, fortunately, when she was resting in the inn, she only liked to take off her outer robe, and there were two layers of clothes on her body.
