Chapter 13: Conspiracy
Chen Daju lay on his back on the bed, tossing and turning, and it was difficult to sleep.
Outside, there was only the sound of the night wind blowing the grass and trees, and occasionally a few insects chirping.
Suddenly, there was a quick, slight sound of footsteps in the courtyard, accompanied by the sound of clothes being blown by the wind
There are thieves? Or did the little maid in the house take advantage of the darkness of the night and everyone else to sleep, and quietly come out to date the maid?
Chen Daju happened to have no intention of sleeping, and he couldn't find anything to do.
Curiosity came, and he gently opened the door and chased straight in the direction of the man's footsteps.
A moment of effort had already reached the small door in the backyard.
In order not to be discovered, he always kept a distance of about twenty meters from the man.
That person is either anxious or inexperienced. There was a big living person behind him who kept following him, and he didn't know it.
He tiptoed open the small door in the backyard and continued on his way.
As an agent, Chen Daju has stalked many people, and it is the first time he has encountered such a stupid person who has no intention of anti-stalking.
I can't help but worry about the IQ of the ancients.
This kind of pleasure of crushing the other party with an IQ makes him more and more interested.
Chen Daju persevered, followed him like a shadow, and walked through the streets and alleys along the way.
Walking to the end of an alley, the man seemed to finally notice something unusual behind him and looked back.
The alley behind him was empty, and there wasn't even a ghost in sight.
The man's heart couldn't help but feel a little hairy, just now he obviously heard the sound of sparse footsteps behind him, could it be that he had encountered a ghost?
Suddenly the creeps rose, a cold sweat broke out on his back, he quickened his pace, and never looked behind him again.
Chen Daju was on the rise, and when he suddenly saw the man turn around, he was also caught off guard.
A dodge, now hidden under the eaves of the door of a house.
Hearing the man's footsteps become more urgent, and the sound is getting quieter and quieter, I know that I have been pulled away by the other party for a longer distance.
Years of experience as an agent gave him a hunch that the man was getting closer and closer to his destination, and this was to finally confirm whether he was being followed.
Chen Daju couldn't help but feel funny, this big fool had been followed all the way, and now he remembered to see if he was being followed.
The man came to the gate of a large mansion, and wandered back and forth outside the main gate for a long time, never leaving with no intention of entering.
I went around to the back door again and confirmed that there was no one around, before I raised my hand and pulled the knocker.
With a few rhythmic clicks, the small doors "creaked" and squeaked against each other, and a crack opened that was only large enough for one person to enter and exit.
When the man entered, the door shut.
Isn't this the private residence of the Mu Governor's Mansion that I came to during the day?
When the man was wandering back and forth at the main entrance of the mansion, Chen Daju had already discovered that this was the private residence of the Mu Governor's family who had been here during the day.
Is it just a simple private meeting between the two servants, or are they doing something unfavorable to the Chen Mansion?
Chen Daju's professional sensitivity made it impossible for him to avoid this question.
If it's just a simple private meeting, you can turn a blind eye, and you can think of it as a family servant of the Chen Mansion and the people in the Mu Governor's Mansion.
But if you do something unfavorable to the Chen Mansion, it is absolutely not allowed, and the Chen Mansion is your home.
Chen Daju tied his clothes around his waist, used his means of climbing into the hospital, climbed the wall, and hid.
The two men didn't notice anything unusual, and they didn't go any further.
"During the day today, your unpromising young master and your handsome young grandmother-to-be suddenly visited our master and asked Doctor Wu, are you suspicious of us?"
A man who looked like a domestic servant asked.
Both of them happened to have their backs to themselves, and they were discussing things with their ears close to them at the moment.
Chen Daju couldn't see the appearance of the two.
Judging from the dress, he concluded that the servants of Mu Zhifu should belong to the kind with a certain status in the mansion.
"I don't think so, our lord has already gone out with the butler early in the morning. I didn't find anything unusual, and I only brought the head of the martial arts sect and three domestic servants. ”
The man who came out of Chen's Mansion replied with confidence.
"This matter is related to the future and wealth of you and me, you have to use snacks, now is a critical moment. Our lord said that as long as your information is reliable and timely, and you serve wholeheartedly, I will not be able to treat you badly in the future. ”
"Yes, yes, it is a small blessing to be able to saddle the horse for Lord Mu. Don't dare to have any more extravagance, the small one must do his duty. ”
"That's right, your young master of the waste, today looks much more energetic than in the past. I have never come to the house to see our lord, today the sun is out of the west, and I came with my little daughter-in-law, and I brought so many valuable gifts. Did you Mr. Chen specially arrange it? ”
"As far as the little one knows, it was all handled by the young grandmother, and the master only specially ordered to bring the hundred-year-old ginseng."
"In this way, you Master Chen really haven't received any news?"
"Judging from the small one, there must be none. Qin Ye, the little one asked, was the second son's stupor really cured by Wu Shen? ”
"Don't ask what you shouldn't. Do your errands well and watch your head. You know Lord Mu's temper. ”
"Yes, yes, Qin Ye, the little one is mouthy, and the little one is damned. The little one didn't ask anything just now. ”
"Are you sure you're not being followed when you came out just now?" After asking, the servant from Governor Mu's mansion looked around.
His signature figure of eight shone in the moonlight, glowing sporadically cold.
Chen Daju saw it in the dark, wasn't this servant the one who led him into the mansion during the day.
"A hundred of the small ones are sure, Qin Ye, don't worry."
"Alright, you've been out for some time. Let's go back to the house first, you take this. ”
The servant who was called "Qin Ye" took out a piece of silver from his belt and gave it to the servant of the Chen Mansion.
"Thank you for the reward, the little one will leave first. There are many errands to make a fortune, and there are many small ones. ”
The servants of the Chen Mansion smiled flatteringly.
But it's a face that Chen Daju hasn't seen yet.
Out of the backyard door, the servant saw that there was no one around, so he quickened his pace and hurried back.
Chen Daju hid at the head of the wall and thought about it for a long time, until the servants of the Mu Governor's house disappeared, and then he jumped down from the wall to the courtyard.
Following the trail of the servants of Mu Zhifu, he walked to the inner courtyard.
After easily dodging a few soldiers patrolling the night, I saw the "Eight Character Beard" servant enter a side hall.
"Big brother, Chen Fu's eyeliner told me that Chen Boda's old thing didn't receive any rumors, and he was as stupid as a pig, and he only brought five or six followers. Presumably knowing that he would not be able to come back for several days, he ordered his waste son and daughter-in-law to come and visit Master Mu during the day. He himself had already gone to the countryside early in the morning to collect grain. Our chance to make a fortune has come. ”
The "eight-character beard" servant changed his flattering face to himself during the day, revealing a dove-like look.
"Two, this matter should not be taken lightly. Quickly send someone to inform Wansan that he will act according to the original plan and be sure that nothing goes wrong. You and I both know Master Mu's temper, and if you are scattered, I can't protect you. ”
"Big brother, don't worry, I'll send a reliable cronie to inform Wansan of this matter early tomorrow morning."
"Don't do it early, do it now. Also, Old Man Wu sent more manpower. ”
That's a categorical statement.
Before Chen Daju could see the person's appearance clearly through the open window, the servant who was previously known as "Qin Ye" had already walked out stupidly.
