How was it discovered!

I was so cautious that I barely made the slightest sound, and everyone inside could find out.

Could it be that the people inside have downwind ears, and even the sound of dust falling to the ground can be heard clearly?

Cheng Xiaohao really doesn't understand, this family is all talented!

Before Cheng Xiaohao could think about it, some sounds came from the house.

For fear of being caught red-handed, Cheng Xiaohao could only retreat temporarily.

When I walked to the back door, I found that the back was actually locked!

I'm rubbing! Why lock it up from the inside of the yard!

It seems that you can only get in and out.

But when you turn your head and look around, the yard is clean and clean, and there is not a single thing to step on. How could he have climbed such a high wall?

Huh! There are some stone tables and benches over there.

Cheng Xiaohao walked over and grabbed both sides of the stone bench with both hands.

“——”

Silent shouts.

“——”

Cheng Xiaohao's face flushed, and all the strength he had used to eat it was gone, but he couldn't shake the stool in the slightest.

He couldn't help but roar inwardly: Did this stool grow in the ground?

If you can't spend any more, find a corner to hide first.

But in this courtyard, as far as the eye can see, there is not even a convenient place to hide.

Those wings are all locked immediately! How cautious this must be.

That's right! Over there, that side is certainly not locked.

When I remembered the direction the child was going with the basin, it should be to the bathhouse.

So, go over there and hide for a while, and then find a way to get out later.

Cheng Xiaohao walked lightly but quickly towards that side, and sure enough, he saw a room that looked like a bathhouse.

When he walked in and saw it, he couldn't help but be surprised.

Because the layout here is really unexpected to him.

The inside is divided into outer compartments and compartments, and there is a window on the left and right, so the light is good. The frosted floor is dry and clean, without the slightest visible dirt and limescale; On the left, there is a wooden shelf, hanging a few cloth towels that should be used for washing your face and bathing, and an empty wooden shelf, which should be used for a change of clothes; On the right side was a platform a little more than a meter long, on which were placed several wooden basins and small wooden barrels.

Inside the tubs and barrels...... They were all dressed in brown and black coarse cloth.

In this dynasty, it seems that men were all popular to wear dark-colored clothing such as brown, black, gray, dark blue, and cyan. Women are a little more diverse, but they are mainly green and cyan, and there are fewer other colors.

So...... This piece is so bright... What is the cloth with red and green embroidered with mandarin duck lotus?

The curious Cheng Xiaohao reached out and pulled the cloth out of the basin.

Then he was embarrassed.

It's a ......

But aren't there two brothers living here? So which one is this pocket?

Could it be the wife of the brother who vomited blood?

Something doesn't seem right.

In order to verify, Cheng Xiaohao rummaged through the clothes in the barrel and tub again.

He found that the clothes inside, except for the pocket just now, were all men's clothes.

Could it be that the wife of the brother who vomited blood was wearing men's clothes?

Or...... There is no brother at all, but... A sister?

Just when Cheng Xiaohao was speculating, suddenly there was a voice outside, "Help!" ”

It's a woman's voice!

Cheng Xiaohao hurriedly rushed out.

He came to the courtyard, but did not go directly, but hid at the foot of the wall.

In the courtyard, several masked people carried a sack, and the sack seemed to contain something, writhing and struggling.

Cheng Xiaohao also heard "Hmm... The sound of "hmmmm......hmm" should be gagged.

What can I do now? Do you want to rush out and save the beauty of the hero?

But those people still have knives in their hands, and if they rush out, I am afraid that they will not be saved, and they will be stabbed a few times first.

Whether he has steel or iron bones, if he can be safe and sound after being stabbed a few times, it is magical.

Since it's impossible to rush out, how about shouting and getting the attention of the neighbors?

It doesn't seem to work very well, after all, the person in the sack has tried it before. And as a result, of course, it was put into a sack.

If I do that, I'm afraid I haven't been put into a sack yet, and I should go directly to the west...

Just when Cheng Xiaohao was thinking to no avail, one of the masked men had already unlocked the lock on the back door.

A group of people walked out carrying sacks.

After a while, there was the sound of whipping outside, then the neighing of horses, and finally the sound of pedaling and pedaling faded into the distance.

It was actually a kidnapping case that happened right under his nose!

So now, he's leaving through the open door in the backyard? Or will it be left to provide evidence for the impending yacha?

I thought about it for a long time. Although he really wanted to stay, he thought of some troubles that might happen later, not to mention whether he would be convicted of being an accomplice to the kidnappers, and he couldn't afford the crime of burglary alone. After all, he really climbed the wall to get in.

Thinking of this, Cheng Xiaohao could only leave quickly.

However, instead of going back directly, he went around in circles and returned to that street.

But after wandering around for half an hour, the child did not come back. It's almost lunchtime, and there are fewer and fewer pedestrians on the road, so if you continue to stay here, you may be suspicious.

Go back for lunch first, and then come back.

......

When she returned to Ning's Mansion, Ning Wenyu happened to be in the hall, and when she saw Cheng Xiaohao coming back, she complained a little: "Why did you come back so late, the food was cold." ”

Cheng Xiaohao said with a smile: "Because I met someone on the road, I chatted with him for a while." By the way, that person's name is Zhang Gui, I don't know if you recognize it. ”

Ning Wenyu shook his head: "Zhang Gui? This name is too ordinary, and I know more than ten Zhang Gui. What is his word, what is his number? ”

Cheng Xiaohao: "He doesn't have a word, but he seems to have a nickname called Short Zhang." ”

"Short Zhang..."Ning Wenyu thought for a while and shook his head, "I haven't heard of it." ”

Cheng Xiaohao: "He is Zhang Shun's brother, didn't Zhang Shun tell you?" ”

"Flutter." Ning Wenyu covered her mouth and chuckled, "You... Why did Zhang Dutong tell us about his family, but since he came this time, why didn't he bring him here as a guest? ”

Cheng Xiaohao: "Well, I didn't expect this at the time, and it seems that he has something to do." ”

"Okay, anyway, since he's here, if Zhang Dutong wants his brother and the Ning family to know each other, he'll bring it over sooner or later, don't worry." After speaking, Ning Wenyu said to the maid beside her: "Take the left food to the kitchen and ask Sister-in-law Zhao to warm it up." ”

Cheng Xiaohao quipped: "I also left me food, thank you Wenyu." You are so virtuous, I don't know which blessed person will be cheaper in the future. ”

"Don't say that." Ning Wenyu smiled bitterly, "I'm not afraid of your jokes, I hate myself now that I can't get married, if I can find a favorite, it will be my great blessing." ”

"Haha, what do you think of Xiaosheng?" Cheng Xiaohao was half-joking, half-tentative.

In these streets and alleys, he has seen a lot of women, anyway, he didn't see Bining Wenyu's eyes.
