Chapter Seventy-Eight: Don't Zhuang
In the third year of Wei Yongan (the second year of Liangzhong Datong), at the beginning of July, everything was in full swing in the middle of the night. In a certain house in Luoyang City, a tall courtyard wall suddenly popped up with a person's head. The man looked around for a while, and when he saw that there was no one outside the wall, he climbed over the wall, jumped down, and disappeared into the night.
When he reappeared, this person was already far away, and when he looked up, he saw the gate of Jianyang. The man shrugged lightly, and the small door on the side suddenly opened, and the face of the husband poked out of it, and seeing that it was this person's face, he hurriedly opened the door wide, and even gave way to his position.
Then the man had to flash in. Entering Jianyangli, I was familiar with the road all the way, and I even knocked on the door to enter a household, which is the Yufu with the widest area in the village.
Needless to say, this person is Pei Guo, who has recovered from his injuries and returned to investigate the evidence of Hu Sichun's crimes.
Entering the secret room, Yu Jinzao was in the waiting room. Pei Guo poured a few sips of cold water and said, "I've been squatting for several days, but I haven't seen Hu Sichun go back to the villa in the city. In the whole courtyard, there was only one elderly servant who took care of him, and he went to bed early at night. Tonight, I simply sneaked into the hospital and searched carefully, but unfortunately, nothing out of the ordinary was found. ”
Yu Jin nodded: "I don't want to come to this courtyard in the city is not an important place, but it is just a place for Hu Sichun to occasionally rest on weekdays, otherwise I wouldn't have made an appointment to meet you there often." It's normal that you can't find anything. ”
Pei Guo sighed, and said: "Hu Sichun is cunning and rabbit three caves, but unfortunately I don't know where this house is. For now, the only way to do this is to go to another village outside his city. ”
Since recovering from his injury, Pei Guo first went straight to the drunken building, and he wanted to ask Zhai Miaoer for questioning. is not reckless, several times outside the building to pull in and out of the building benefactors to inquire, Fang Shi knew that Zhai Miaoer has disappeared for a long time, calculate the time, that is, he was in the day or two after the attack in Luoyang City. Pei Guo's heart sank, and he felt a little uneasy.
If you catch one or two turtle slaves in the drunken building to interrogate, you are worried that his rank is too low, and if you can't ask, you will startle the snake. Pei Guo had no choice but to hit the idea on the other courtyard in Hu Sichun City and the other village outside the city. Now it seems that since there is nothing to find in the courtyard in the city, there is only one way to the other village outside the city, but I hope that Hu Sichun can find some flaws there.
Pei Guo did not hesitate, and left the city at dawn on the second day, and went straight to the countryside south of the city.
On the bank of Yishui, not long after walking east along the river, I saw a small forest, which was slightly different from the winter time. Pei Guo doesn't have a bad memory, and he roughly remembers that it is here. Sure enough, after turning a few steps, Hu Sichun's outer village was impressively on the edge of the forest.
It is still a high-walled and deep house in memory, the door is closed, and there is not half a word on the door. Pei Guo showed half of his body, glanced at it secretly, and was overjoyed first--- it turned out that there was an ox cart parked outside the door, and there was a coachman sitting on it, waving a whip, constantly driving away flies and insects, looking bored. In this way, it seems that there must be some kind of character in the village.
Hu Sichun should be in the court at this time, although he is not here, there is no lack of opportunities to check--- this village is so secretive, presumably it has always been used by the guests of Hu Si Chun's secret meeting.
Find a remote corner along the outer wall, climb the wall and enter, and the landing place is a small courtyard. The courtyard is quiet, there are a few flowers and trees, and there is no trace. Pei Guo recalled for a while, silently recited the terrain of this village, and then told him that he was passing through the corridor and crossing the pillars and entering the atrium. I only encountered two servants who were sweeping and watering along the way, and with Pei Guo's ability, he easily avoided it.
In front of it is the side hall where Hu Sichun has a store of fine wine, and it was in this side hall that the two discussed how to deal with Cui Xian, and then there were all kinds of things. Pei Guo's heart moved, and he had to step forward to investigate.
As soon as he got closer, he heard a voice coming from inside. Pei Guo didn't dare to be careless, tiptoeing, not making a sound at all, but he leaned his head forward and heard it more and more clearly.
One said: "Okay, at most two kinds of wine." And only a few of the same are taken, but they are not allowed to be poured out. ”
As soon as this person's voice came out, Pei Guo nodded secretly, with a smile in his eyes--- is this person Hu Si Chun's henchman Hu Si Liang?" I don't know why, it sounds like I've brought someone else here, and I can't steal the wine of Hu Sichun?
Hu Si Chun's bullshit things, eight out of ten things are handled by Hu Siliang, if you want to catch people and ask Hu Si Chun's secret, let go of Hu Si Liang, simply don't think about it as a second person. What's more, in the sneak attack on Pei Guo in Luoyang City that day, Hu Siliang seemed to be the mastermind, the so-called enemy road is narrow, and he will never let him go today.
There should be another person in the side hall, and then there was a sound of wine entering the pot, and it was the person who was taking the pot and receiving the wine.
Pei Guo remained silent and continued to listen, and after a while, Hu Siliang's voice in the room rose again, sounding a little anxious: "Stop!" Stanch! Stop! ”
When the footsteps started, it was probably Hu Siliang who stepped forward, and it was possible that he snatched the wine bottle from the man's hand, and his tone was full of complaints: "I'm going to die!" You idiot! Didn't you say less pour? Why are you disobedient? This bottle of golden stem dew actually made you pour not a drop left, and the lord of Lang came back, but when you shook the wine bottle, how could you not find it? ”
"Lord Lang has so many big things to calculate every day, how can he remember this little bottle of golden stalk dew?" The person who poured the wine laughed and said: "I see, you are still a thief, and you are scared of yourself first." ”
"Nonsense!" Hu Siliang said angrily: "What kind of thief am I doing? Obviously, you are a drunkard like your life, and you still have to steal the wine of Lord Lang. If it weren't for that, how could I have brought you here so many times? No matter how good the wine collection is, I will not touch it! ”
"Ouch, what Lianglang-kun said... You don't like wine, so naturally you won't steal wine, but you're, hahaha. Liang Langjun, you stole Zhai Miao'er's stunning colors and went back, tsk, and said that you weren't a thief? ”
"Silence!" Hu Siliang was obviously anxious: "If you dare to talk nonsense, be careful that I tear your tongue!" In the future, don't talk about these good wines, and teach you not to eat anything! ”
"There is no one else here, why would Lianglangjun say such cruel words?" The man was unconvinced: "What? So quickly forgot who helped you make your dreams come true? And who helped you keep the secret? Lianglangjun, I'm a coward, if you scare me again, in case I get scared, I will let you live Zhai Miao'er privately, and publicize the fact that she is secretly hiding... At that time, it's a big deal that I was whipped to death by Lord Lang, but are you good Lang Jun... I guess there's not much good fruit to eat! “
"You..." Hu Siliang was angry, and he was speechless for a while.
Hearing this, Pei Guo probably understood that --- Hu Sichun was ruthless, maybe even Zhai Miao'er wanted to kill him. As usual, he still asked Hu Siliang to do it. I don't want this Hu Si to be lustful, most of them have coveted Zhai Miaoer's beauty for a long time, and they actually risked the world's disapproval, not only did they not kill Zhai Miaoer, but they also hid people.
And the person who stole the wine in the house should be Hu Siliang's subordinate, just because he helped Hu Siliang hide Zhai Miaoer, he had the capital to "blackmail" Hu Siliang. This guy is a good wine, and when the wine is bold, he actually instigated Hu Siliang to take him to steal Hu Sichun's wine.
Most of them are stealing wine too many times, Hu Siliang also feels uneasy, this person who steals wine is a little insatiable, like today, this is a quarrel. But Hu Siliang obviously didn't have much courage in his body, otherwise, with his ruthlessness, he was afraid that he would kill the wine thief on the spot.
