Chapter 40: Intricacies

Coming out of Xu Wei's place, Lin Chen and Ye Yu wandered around the streets, and for a while they found that novelties and bargaining were not interesting.

It had been a long time since Night Feather had left the abyss of ups and downs and calculations, and she had not appeared in a crowded place during the day, even if she had to do so, she had to cover her face with a veil. Now that she is leaving the imperial capital, it is inevitable that she will feel much easier, at least she doesn't have to worry too much about the fact that there are so many people who really recognize her.

"Little Er, warm pot wine, and a few more side dishes." Lin Chen raised his voice and pulled Ye Yu to sit down behind the table.

Ye Yu was already quiet, and walked for a long time in the noisy place of the crowd, and now he was a little tired and irritable between his eyebrows and eyes, and he covered his mouth and yawned as soon as he sat down. Lin Chen stretched out his hand and shook it in front of her eyes, but he didn't want her to bite as soon as her chin was raised and her mouth opened, so he couldn't hide it, covering his hands and laughing hard.

Night Feather glanced at him, holding his head with his left hand and playing with the porcelain cup on the table with his right hand. Lin Chen looked at her as if she would fall asleep at any time, so he found a topic: "I didn't expect Qingheju to still do the weapons business." ”

He didn't expect Ye Yu to say anything to him, but this time she didn't have any defense: "Qingheju has always only wanted money and didn't care about any righteousness, so some weapons were also contaminated, but Wutong personally dealt with it, and others were not allowed to interfere with it." However, there are also those who violate the yang and the yin. ”

"Xu Wei must also be a high-ranking and powerful figure in Qingheju, so it is inevitable that he will be bolder."

"You see that, too?" Ye Yu finally put his eyes on him, "We found out that Xu Wei's accounts and his own whereabouts are strange, and when it comes to the problem of silver and silver, Cui Yan's point is not enough to see." So Wutong and I both suspect that it is not a weapon that can obtain such a huge profit at this time, but there is no conclusive evidence yet. ”

Xiao Er brought wine and side dishes, and filled them for the two of them before leaving. Ye Yu ignored Lin Chen's own pouring of wine first, and Lin Chen then said, "Let's talk about it, I may have a way to help you." ”

"If you want to say anything else, if you want to say that the sale of weapons must be transported out and transported in, and the weapons are not like ordinary things, even if they are covered up, they will be eye-catching. But I said in Nanping's eyeliner that I never found anything abnormal. Ye Yu raised his eyebrows, stretched out a finger and nodded at Lin Chen's hand on the table, "Lin Gongzi, do you have a way?" ”

Lin Chen didn't dare to speak at the moment, but he already had a calculation in his heart, so he said, "Yes." ”

Night Feather smiled, picked up the chopsticks and lowered his head to eat.

The street behind him is still full of people and traffic, and some children who are held in the arms of adults do not hold the porcelain objects in their hands for a while, and they fall to the ground and smash them. Later, another poor man in cloth pulled the coffin cart and ran over the debris, and the car bumped and made a "clang" sound.

Lin Chen held the chopsticks in his hand, and when he looked at Ye Yu, he saw that she had wandered out of the world for some time. When she looked closely, she seemed to be listening to the conversation between the two at the other table.

"I have a brother who works in the palace, and he told me that the Queen Mother had coughed up black blood when she was driving, and that she used to be mentally tired all day long, not thinking about eating, and her limbs were sore, and now I see it...... Alas, it's hard to say. ”

"Why do you say that this symptom is so similar to the ...... of the first emperor?"

"Brother, don't you dare to say this!"

"Alas, there are the most absurd things in the palace, and no matter how peaceful the outside is, there are always warm and cold people. I see that the cage is full of cold-blooded beasts, and I don't want to take half a step in that place in my life! ”

"Haha, you have to have a way to get in! Drink and drink! ”

This is exactly what a cold-eyed person can do to break the game.

Ye Yu didn't move, and put a piece of meat in his mouth, but he was so tired that he frowned.

After a long time like this, when I returned to the post house, I saw a carriage parked in front of the door from a distance, blocking the door tightly, and someone was sitting on the carriage, dangling with one leg hanging down underneath. Ye Yu sneered and stretched out his hand to Lin Chen, Lin Chen raised his eyebrows, bent down and picked up a stone from the ground and put it in her palm.

She squinted her eyes and raised her hand to throw the stone, right in the horse's leg. The horse was frightened, and was about to rush forward with a neigh, but the tether to the post only caused the car to turn violently, and the half-seated and half-leaning person on the car was directly turned upside down.

Lin Chen did not avoid being affected, and saw that the door had been opened and entered first. Ye Yu walked up to Li Shentong unhurriedly, and saw that he was carefully dusting the soil on his white shirt, and his expression was like a child who had been taught by an adult.

"Where's the sycamore?"

Li Shentong immediately made a silent gesture, and said mysteriously: "Since Cui Yan was interrogated, the whole person is like eating gunpowder, she doesn't have to touch her, she can explode herself." ”

Night Feather was indifferent: "What about the sycamore?" ”

“...... Sleep in it. ”

Li Shentong was afraid that Ye Yu would not believe it, so he personally took her to the Wutong room for a turn, and crept out again, and Ye Yu, who was walking normally throughout the whole process, kept looking at him with the eyes of a madman.

The two sat down at the stone table in the courtyard, and as soon as they sat down, Li Shentong asked what happened to Chu Jun. Night Feather told him the truth and told him all the details that he could recall that day. Li Shentong is commensurate with Lin Chen's brothers, and he is not as suspicious of Lin Chen as Ye Yu, he thought for a moment and touched his chin and said, "Do you think it was because that masked man knew you well before, and he was afraid that you would see something before he knocked you unconscious?" ”

Ye Yu suddenly felt that there was some truth in this statement, which was more reliable than her previous assumptions. She began to search her memories for someone with a motive again, and found that it was possible that she was either in this station now, or that she was already dead.

Wait, she can still fake her death and survive, why can't the others?

Li Shentong knew at a glance what Ye Yu was calculating in his heart, and sat quietly with her for a while, but finally couldn't sit still and opened his mouth first: "When is Xu Wei going to do it over there?" ”

"Don't worry, I have to find a time to explore his garden."

"I'll go, where?"

Night Feather gave him the address, but immediately saw that the expression on his hippie smile suddenly became stiff. Thinking back to Lin Chen's expression at that time, Ye Yu couldn't help but wonder what was wrong with this garden, which could make both of them change their complexions.

The sunlight shifts, and the shadows of the courtyard walls elongate. Li Shentong sat at the junction of black and white, and was silent for a long time before asking slowly: "Do you know who that garden originally belonged to?" ”

Ye Yu repeated what Lin Chen had told her, thinking that Lin Chen was talking nonsense, but she didn't want Li Shentong to nod heavily and continue to ask: "Then do you know which imperial merchant is?" ”

Night Feather was stunned, vaguely aware of something, and did not answer.

Li Shentong took out a jade pendant and put it in front of Ye Yu, and waited for her to look at it carefully before she slowly said: "That imperial businessman's surname is Li." ”
