Chapter 13 A thief inside and out

I ran back to my yard in a rage, and I didn't bother to go back to my room, but when I saw that the big tree in the courtyard was growing because it was untended, I jumped up, picked a thick branch, and lay down on my back to rest. Time flies very quickly, and to me it seems that it is just a gap between opening and closing my eyes, and when I come back to my senses, it is already the time when the moon hangs in the middle of the sky.

In fact, I knew that time flew by for a moment, and I didn't surprise myself when I slept all afternoon, but I was surprised by another somewhat familiar figure sitting at the end of the branch.

When I opened my eyes, I saw a figure in the dark, thanks to my good heart, otherwise I would have been scared to death.

Yue Wang Ye sat here, playing with the night and tomorrow Xuanzhu that he showed me yesterday, he changed into a silver mask today, and the green light was stunned and imprinted on his mask, like a ghost fire in the graveyard.

I sat up, rubbed my sore waist from sleep, and said to the prince not very formally: "Please be safe." ”

Lord Yue seemed surprised by my alienated attitude, but he didn't show it openly, and only threw a oilcloth bag to me: "Don't pretend in front of me, there is no outsider at the moment." ”

I untied the cotton rope on the oil packet, as soon as I opened it, I smelled a sweet fragrance, a good osmanthus cake stayed in it, soft and fluffy, and the fresh osmanthus flowers on the top were also yellow and bright like fresh goods. I looked up at him, and he was looking at me, and when he saw my gaze, he said softly, "Eat quickly." ”

How did he know I wanted to eat osmanthus cake? I'm afraid that the whole house has been covered with eyeliner.

I cleared my mind and understood that this man was just right in his calculations, and naturally I didn't have a good face for him at the moment, so I said: "As a prince, I went to the gate in a dignified manner, and walked around me by some paths, and I don't understand that I think you are a lady who covets a beautiful daughter and wants to be a gentleman who picks flowers." ”

"There is a thorn in your words today, and I don't know where I have offended you."

He said this as if I had wronged him. In fact, smart people like me have always believed in the importance of the point, and if I say it too clearly, it really hurts the friendship between the two.

So I said, "It's quite troublesome for you to bring in osmanthus cake." ”

"It's not a bother, thanks to the remoteness of your courtyard."

Seeing that he was sloppy here, I didn't know who was angry anymore, so I continued: "But the dining hall is in the east corner, and there are people coming and going, and it is also a loss that the prince Yue has spent a lot of time. ”

Yue Wang Ye was stunned, sat down on the branch, and said softly: "This king knows that you are much smarter after waking up, but this king never expected that you would become smart here, but you can tell me, how much have you guessed about this matter." ”

Let me talk about it first, and then I will decorate it according to my train of thought, and then the truth will still keep me in the dark, and this prince should really be coaxing the child?

I weighed it for a while, and asked directly, "What does the prince want to find in my mansion?" ”

"A bead."

Yes, yes, yes, it's true.

So I asked directly, "What beads?" ”

Yue Wang Ye raised the Tianxuan Bead that he kept playing with in his hand, and said, "The twin sister of this bead, guess what the name it is?" ”

In fact, I have already guessed that the heaven and earth are yellow, there are heavenly pearls, but there is no rehmannia?

"Tianxuanzhu, as the best night pearl tribute, from the South China Sea to our country; But the same pearl is not the same life, the rehmannia bead is only as a subsidiary of the south pearl, so a precious bead, but mixed in a box of pearls of the same origin has no luster, it is really a pity. ”

I said, "It would be nice if it was really Nanzhu, and the province would be robbed by you people with bad intentions." ”

Lord Yue looked at me with a smile: "Two beads are twins, how can they endure the pain of separation?" ”

"It's just two beads, and if you are separated, you can still cry and scream like a human?"

Lord Yue didn't answer me, but just held this bead and said to him: "Look at this rare treasure, unstable in the magnificent Taihe main hall for Your Majesty to admire, what are you doing running to this king's hands?" ”

"You stole it."

Clear-eyed people know that my words are just to stab him, and the content is not true, but this prince still replied to me seriously: "Naturally not." ”

I said, "Over there, Your Majesty took pity on you for your hard work and achievements, and specially rewarded you." ”

He also shook his head: "It is a man's natural responsibility to protect his family and defend the country, and he should not fight for fame and fortune." ”

In this way, feelings are true feelings, but unfortunately it is too unrealistic. It's also thanks to that he is a prince, a son like today's son, and he eats with royal money, if he is a soldier of the common people, he must not starve to death for this feeling.

Seeing that I was no longer speech, the prince of Yue solved the mystery by himself and said: "Since the tribute of this night pearl, there must be stormy waves every night, and the sound of conch whimpering and mourning permeates the corner of the palace; But if it's just a strange noise, it's okay, two days later, there are corpses inexplicably displayed on the hall, two under the stairs, and seven on the stairs, which really stirs up the people in the palace. ”

Oh, I couldn't help laughing: "There is a corpse, you don't go to find out who did it, but it's all thanks to this bead, thanks to the ghosts and gods, it's really strange." ”

"Do you know how to do it in parallel?" He looked at me and suddenly laughed, "I don't think you understand." ”

He said to me, "Isn't it strange that the king of the palace has been guarded for a long time, but after nightfall there are nine corpses on it, and every two days there are nine corpses on it." At the same time, the king also went to the South China Sea, inquired around, and inquired about the origin of these two beads. ”

"It's a lot of trouble," I commented without hesitation, "if this bead is really evil, you can take two bricks and smash them, crush them into powder, and scatter them in the wind." Even if it's a witch thing, without its body, I think it can still cause some waves. ”

"It's really arrogant," Yue Wang Ye shook his head and said, "It's a shame that the beads didn't fall into your hands." ”

"A barbarian man naturally has a way of dealing with things as a barbarian," I said, "and since the prince knows the secret of these two beads, how did you overcome it?" ”

The prince said: "This king has taken it with him. ”

β€œ...... That's a good idea. ”

"Tianxuanzhu didn't make any mess when he was on this king, in order to hide people's eyes, there was a similar fake bead in the palace, this bead did not cause any trouble, and there was no corpse on the palace. My father was furious and ordered me to secretly find his twin pearls, put them together in pairs, and not enter the treasury. ”

I shook my head and said, "What a fuss about the prince, aren't its twin beads on the list of tribute?" It's better to have a few meticulous people slowly compare, where do you need the prince to take action. ”

Lord Yue stared at me and smiled: "The beads are on the list of tributes?" ”

According to him, the twin beads should be among the tributes of Nanzhu; But according to his approach, he wants to come to my Xiangguo Mansion to find clues, isn't that hinting at something?

"If it's really a treasure that doesn't enter the treasury, even the servants who have integrated the palace can find it." The prince said, "It's a pity, this bead is not in the palace, when I sent someone to investigate, I found that it should have been 1,800 tribute to the first grade of the South Pearl, only 1,200 are genuine, the rest are imitation of the lower grade of the South Pearl." ”

I listened to it interestingly, so I said: "Interesting, the prince found a corruption case from a palace gate evil case, isn't God guiding you to do these things?" ”

"God or something, I don't want to be fate, if the world punishes evil and promotes good, if all the gods in the sky are counting on God, I am afraid that the gods in the sky will not have a time to rest. However, it is a bit interesting to say that greed has evil rewards, and the world is interlinked. ”

I thought that this prince would run to my house every once in a while, not necessarily for the sake of my fiancΓ©e, so I knowingly said to him: "Where is the source of this corruption case?" ”

Sure enough, he replied to me coldly: "Xiangguo Tang Mansion." ”

Yue Wang Ye said slowly: "This king wanted to investigate this matter thoroughly, but he reported it to his father, but his father hesitated for a moment but refuted this king's secret performance, and just ordered me not to make a noise, sneak into the Tang family's mansion and take back the Tianxuan bead." ”

I couldn't help but sigh and said, "Your father really likes the Tang Mansion." ”

"It's just a sentence whether you like it or not, it's a common thing to get an eye today, and go to prison tomorrow."

I was not happy to listen to the teachings in the court, but I was very interested in this demonic bead, so I asked, "So, have you found this bead?" "Listening to the movement of the old lady's courtyard overturning the roof tiles, it must not be in the old lady's hands.

He looked at me and said seriously, "I didn't find it." ”

I asked, "How many things do I have in my house, half a box of first-class Nanzhu, or only a twin pearl of Tianxuanzhu." ”

Yue Wang Ye replied: "It is half a box of a product of Nanzhu, but unfortunately the old lady in your house is really a fox and cunning goods, this king made a big move in your house that day, and after a long time, he went into the treasury to compare them one by one, and he couldn't find the bead." ”

He looked at me seriously and waved my hand in fright: "I don't know, I don't know." ”

He snorted and laughed under the mask I listened to, and gently scolded me, "Stupid." ”

Stupid to stupid, I live comfortably, why can't I be stupid?

I said, "Although I don't know where the bead is now, I can tell the prince that this bead is no longer in my house, and on the night of the water, I am afraid that someone has taken a step ahead of you." ”

Yue Wang Ye was stunned for a moment and said, "One step ahead of me?" Then he sneered, "The well-known Tang family's defense is said to be meticulous that even mosquitoes can't fly in, why did they let two thieves in one day?" ”

I glanced at him, but he didn't pay much attention, and still chuckled there, and I smiled at him, but he laughed stupidly: a dignified lord, where did someone say that he was a thief.
