Chapter 931: Hindsight
Qiu Xiaozhi suddenly opened his mouth to attract the attention of Lan Ziyi and Tao Zhutu, the two thought that the Qiu family father and son had fallen asleep, but who knew that the two were still awake. Lan Ziyi asked:
"Sir hasn't slept yet?"
Qiu Xiaozhi lifted his cloak and said:
"I took a nap on the boat and I won't be able to sleep."
Qiu Xiaozhi lay on the only bed in the room, tightened his cloak to prevent the cold wind, then got up and said:
"The weather is getting colder, this bed is cold to sleep on, and I can't sleep."
Hearing this, the peach rabbit next to him snorted coldly and said:
"It's too cold to sleep in a bed, I'm not afraid to sleep in the wind in the wild, and you can't sleep?"
Qiu Xiaozhi didn't answer the words of the peach chasing the rabbit, he just smiled awkwardly. Then Qiu Xiaozhi said to Lan Ziyi:
"Wei Hou, tonight's incident is not a trivial matter, how does Wei Hou plan to take the bus to Yugong tomorrow?"
Lan Ziyi thought for a while and said:
"Tell the truth."
Qiu Xiaozhi asked again:
"Now there are patrols everywhere on the street, and there won't be a few of the lists posted by Wei Hou until tomorrow, how can Wei Hou explain to Gong Long's side?"
Lan Ziyi replied:
"Even if there is no one left tomorrow, I don't care. There are so many servants on the streets today, even if they take all the list articles away, they won't be able to take their mouths away. I don't believe that so many people can still block all the news without leaking a drop. ”
Qiu Xiao stroked his beard and thought about it carefully when he heard this, and then he said:
"If the people of the capital can't see the list text, then the effect of our list will be greatly reduced. However, what Wei Hou said was also good, even if the officials could remove the list text, they would not be able to stop the rumors from spreading, and the three adults would still be able to find an excuse to impeach the prince. ”
After saying that, Qiu Xiao looked directly at Lan Ziyi, and he asked:
"Wei Hou, the ship was in a hurry before, and what you said was simple. But I heard that there was a problem, Wei Hou, you said that it was the boat of the celebrant who fired the cannon on the Green River today? ”
Lan Ziyi nodded and said:
"Yes, it's the celebrant's ship."
Qiu Xiaozhi asked again:
"What is the celebrant's ship for?"
Lan Ziyi shook his head and said:
"I don't know."
Qiu Xiao directly continued to ask:
"Since Wei Hou doesn't know what the celebrant eunuch's boat is doing on the Green River, then why don't you leave the eunuch of the celebrant to ask him clearly, but you want to kill him?"
Lan Ziyi leaned back, he leaned on the back of the chair and replied slowly:
"It's better not to mess with the affairs in the palace, no matter what the eunuch is doing, I shouldn't know it, I have to kill him."
Qiu Xiao said straightly:
"It's a pity that Wei Hou killed people like this."
Tao Zhutu was tired of listening to it, he took his legs off the table and stomped on the ground with a loud noise, he sat up straight and questioned Qiu Xiaozhi straight:
"I said, Mr. Xiaozhi, what are you trying to do? How does my young master make his own arrangements, what do you mean by interrogating him like a thief now? ”
Qiu Xiao saw that Lan Ziyi had no meaning to explain, and was scolded by Tao Zhutu, so he didn't ask any more, smiled and counted as a thing, he got up and paced back and forth in the house, and after walking a few steps, he still asked;
"But when Wei Hou explains to Grandpa Yu tomorrow, will he also explain the killing of the celebrant and eunuch? How could Father-in-law Yu give up? ”
Hearing this, Peach Rabbit replied impatiently:
"The dead eunuch was not killed with our sword, he was killed by the weapons of the officials. There were dozens of officers and soldiers who died next to him, no one would have thought that my young master had done this, everyone would only think that Du Jing's people had killed him. ”
Qiu Xiaozhi Lan Ziyi is even more strange when he kills people with a knife, and the doubts of the two are undisguised on their faces. But Lan Ziyi didn't want to answer Qiu Xiaozhi and couldn't ask more, so he could only give up. Suddenly, there was a voice outside the house, and I heard someone shouting in front of the courtyard gate:
"This is it?"
Someone else replied:
"It's here, someone suddenly came to rent this room a few days ago, and no one came to live there, only yesterday I sent the chassis things, small
People don't know what it is. My lord, you said that you would look for suspicious people tonight, but the villain only knows that the people here are suspicious. ”
Lan Ziyi sat up straight in shock when he heard this, and he said:
"I thought these bastards were all dying by the river, why are there so many of them?"
Then there was a deafening knock on the door, and the outsider shouted:
"Open the door! If we don't open the door again, we'll slam the door open! ”
At this time, the voice of the man's question was also heard outside the door, and the man asked:
"Young master, do you want to open the door."
Lan Ziyi got up and stood in the middle of the house, so worried that he was about to twist his eyebrows into a rope, and Tao Zhutu stepped forward and asked:
"Young Master, we will be suspected if we go out now."
Lan Ziyi said:
"I've been suspected for a long time, I can't escape if I want to, what I need now is an excuse, or I'll sit down with tonight's pre-emptive closure."
Seeing that Lan Ziyi was so hesitant, Tao Zhutu hurriedly turned around and asked the father and son of the enemy family:
"Sir, do you have any plans to help the young master?"
But when he turned around, he saw Qiu Xiaozhi standing in the house with a smile, not in a hurry at all. Peach Chase Rabbit was furious, and he asked:
"My young master is in a hurry to become like this, the two gentlemen are still smiling, is this kind of thing funny?"
Qiu Xiaozhi says:
"There's no hurry to worry about it, what's there to worry about?"
He went on to say:
"Wei Hou, San Lang, you just go and open the door to welcome people in, I have already made preparations here."
Lan Ziyi was shocked when he heard this, and he said:
"Didn't the gentleman prepare the thing that was brought in yesterday as the outsiders said?"
Qiu Xiao smiled and said:
"Wei Hou just open the door, you have a secret, my father and son also have a surprise, we will know when we meet."
Lan Ziyi turned around and arched his hand:
"Mr. Xiaozhi, I didn't mean to ......"
Qiu Xiao smiled and said:
"I didn't mean to blame Wei Hou, no matter what happened, Wei Hou would let us know sooner or later, it was only a matter of time."
Lan Ziyi bowed to Qiu Xiaozhi again, and then he pushed the door out with the peach and rabbit.
The official outside the courtyard gate and the landlord who led the way knocked for a while and saw no movement inside, thinking that there were really thieves inside, when even if everyone was sent forward to bang on the door, who knew that the logs were ready and everyone was about to open the collision, but the courtyard door suddenly opened. When the leader saw someone coming out of the door, he took a lantern and shone it on the face of the passer, and he scolded:
"Son of a bitch, why didn't you open the door when you were told to open it?"
At this time, another person next to the official messenger saw Lan Ziyi's face clearly, and he exclaimed:
"Wei Hou? Why are you here? ”
Then the man pressed the official's arm and said:
"Hurry up and take the lamp down, this is Weiting Hou Lan Ziyi!"
The official was also shocked when he heard this, and quickly put down the lamp, but he muttered:
"Wei Hou? What is Wei Hou doing in such a place? ”
Lan Ziyi glanced at the door with the light of the people outside, and found that there were only a few officials who came, and most of the others were Taicheng guards, and those who recognized him were also Taicheng guards. The city guard asked Lan Ziyi:
"Wei Hou, it's really offensive to disturb late at night, Yu Gong is looking for you fairly, I didn't expect you to be here."
Lan Ziyi smiled, although he knew why Gonggong Yu was looking for him, he still asked knowingly:
"What's the matter with my father-in-law?"
