Chapter Fifty-Six: Strange

Out of the main courtyard, you have to pass through a large courtyard, Yan Zhuang is not good at this, I have never come in to walk, this time I look at the dark, and I don't look away.

Leading him the way was a subordinate from the other courtyard, and in addition to the maidservant who could serve in the main building, it was a handsome little maid, and at this moment it was a little maid walking in front with a lantern.

There was no one living here, and naturally there were no patrols coming and going, and along the winding bluestone path, the two walked extremely fast, and soon reached the vicinity of the mountain rock where Liu Ji was ambushed.

In the dark, the message could not be transmitted, and the gestures could not be seen clearly, so the order of action was controlled by Liu Ji, and as soon as he moved, the rest of the ambush soldiers would follow, and if he did not move, everyone would not move.

Liu Ji didn't move, because he didn't know who was coming, his solemn appearance, they had only heard the description from Tian Qianzhen's mouth, and drew an image according to the description, according to Tian Qianzhen himself, he was already very close to a real person, but in this case, how could he see clearly with only a small lantern half a step in front of him?

Judging from the dress, this person looked very ordinary, wearing a long robe and a folding scarf on his head, much like the dress of the housekeeper, and he decided to wait.

The reason why I want to send sheep is to find out the right owner.

Come to think of it, my own guards are collectively sick, how can I go and take a look as the owner, not to mention that this is not an ordinary guard, but a close subordinate of the county king.

The two people with lanterns quickly crossed the courtyard and walked in through the small round door in the front yard, Liu Ji emerged from behind the rocks, gently climbed the courtyard wall, and hid under the window at the back of the house, listening intently.

"What about people?"

"All in their own houses."

"Take so-and-so to see."

Liu Ji heard the sound of a door opening, and the person lying inside let out a "hum chirp", and then there was a burst of Han work that was not very fluent.

"Sir."

Then he knew that the Lord had arrived.

"Lie down, don't move, what does the healer say?"

"Water and soil adaptation, resulting in stagnation in the body, there is no major problem, just rest for two days, drink more soup, you can."

"What did you eat today?"

"As usual, the lamb is roasted and served with warm wine."

"There's a fart who doesn't adapt to the soil and water, and it's nonsense! Do they eat anything? ”

"Yes, it's all in the big house, and it's never been cleaned up."

"Take so-and-so to see."

Liu Ji bent down and carefully walked around to the back of the big house, and then heard another conversation.

"That's it?"

"Mr. Hui's words, all the nobles are here."

"Do you know when they got sick and how long they took it?"

"About a quarter of an hour."

"Go find a few people, and the strong ones are better."

As he commanded, there were soon a few more people in the room, and the slightly muffled voice sounded again.

"Let them eat some of everything, and wine, and drink a sip."

The sound of eating mouths sounded in the room, and then there was no movement, Liu Ji, who was lying under the window, knew that they were waiting for the result, and waited for a while, when suddenly he heard a voice calling.

"It hurts, my little stomach hurts."

A moment later, there was another: "Little ...... Small ones too. ”

And then another: "The small ones don't work anymore?" ”

"Something wrong with the food?"

I heard the voice again: "Let them go, find some more people, try the wine and the food respectively, and see what the problem is." ”

So far, Liu Ji has affirmed that the man who spoke must be Yan Zhuang, and only such a thoughtful person will think about it so carefully, and it is expected that the matter will be revealed, but I didn't expect that after such a little time, people will find out.

As expected, there was no problem with the wine, the problem was the mutton, which was determined by the doctor to make people have diarrhea medicine, although it was effective but not fatal.

"Where did this sheep come from? Is it the one that is sent on weekdays? ”

"Mr. Hui's words are indeed the same family on weekdays."

"What's so strange about today?"

"It's true, when they picked up the goods today, all their stocks were sick, and they had no choice but to send them from outside the city, which was delayed for nearly two hours."

"Is it the owner of the goods who delivered the sheep?"

"No, it's his servant."

"Have you seen it?"

"I haven't seen them before, but they're all Turkic like the owner, and they all have the right accents and dresses."

Yan Zhuang looked at the wine and food in front of him, pondered for a while, and waved his hand and said.

"Okay, that's the end of the matter, don't mention it to anyone, just go and rest."

Hearing this, Liu Ji immediately got up, climbed the courtyard wall and climbed into the courtyard, he knew that the other party must have made some decision in his heart, he would leave immediately, and his opportunity had come.

Just as he returned to his previous hiding place, the courtyard door was opened again, and the lantern swayed in the cold wind, and slowly walked over, still two people, one in front of the other.

Liu Ji held his breath and counted their pace, he had to control the situation before anyone made a sound, and then with the help of his companions, transport them out, so that they were unaware.

The lantern is approaching little by little, Liu Ji can even see the face behind the firelight, a middle-aged man with a clear beard under his chin, about forty years old, about one meter six five, weighing no more than eighty Tang catties, he can carry it directly on his shoulders, as for the little guy in front, at most fifteen years old, thin and small, he can be put down with just a hand knife.

Just when he was concentrating on his legs and was about to make a flying action, a large piece of fire suddenly lit up from the opposite direction, and then there was a rush of footsteps, Liu Ji quickly plunged his body between the mountains and rocks, and he didn't even dare to show his head.

The footsteps approached, stopping near him, and a conversation erupted.

"Mr. Yan."

"Dr. Yang, when did you arrive?"

"Fang Cai, I heard that Mr.'s guard is not feeling well, so he came to meet before, is there anything wrong?"

"It's not surprising that someone wants to force Yan to show up."

"Why did you say that, sir?"

"This is the case, Yan has to think about it a little more, a certain person is hiding here, and there are only a few people who know about it, and now, I think they also know."

"Sir, referring to the Li Mansion?"

"Yes or no, it's not surprising, although Li Xiangguo is deceased, his means are really powerful, otherwise you wouldn't let someone help, what else will they do, you and I don't know anything, maybe this is just the beginning."

The conversation between the two was not loud and there was no one on the side liu ji endured it again and again before he pressed the intention of making a move, because from these conversations, he already knew clearly that the person who disrupted his plan was.

Yang Guozhong.
