Two days later, Yao Dongyuan arrived in Wucheng. He went to see my father-in-law first, and then came to my house. In the past few years, he has not come to Wucheng for the Chinese New Year, and the brother and sister have become their own families, so naturally they have their own lives, and they haven't seen each other for a long time.
If Mrs. has a body, I will let her rest in the house, and I will go out to pick up Yao Dongyuan. I haven't seen my brother-in-law much since I got married, but I saw that he was still in good spirits, looking calm and generous, and I secretly thought to myself that a father and mother were born, why was his wife so different from him.
"Yulan, I haven't seen you for a few years, but it seems to be more stable."
"Where, it's just a few years old."
"I've heard a lot about you, and you're a celebrity now."
While we were talking, Madame came out of the courtyard and cried out, "Big brother! ”
Yao Dongyuan smiled and hugged her, I was afraid that Mrs. would flash her body, so I made a false gesture, Yao Dongyuan said: "Kui'er, you are all going to be a mother, why are you still so reckless, how much worry does Yulan have to worry about you?" ”
Madame stuck out her tongue and said, "Why did my brother teach me a lesson as soon as he came." ”
"How dare I teach you a lesson." He turned to me again and smiled, "When I was a child, I said two words to her, and she could make trouble for me for a day!" ”
"Yes, I don't dare to teach her a lesson, only a good student serves her." I laughed.
"Okay, you two together, I won't bother with you." Madame turned around and said, "The wine and food are ready, big brother put down your things, Yu Lan will accompany you to have a drink!" ”
That night, Yao Dongyuan and I were drinking, chatting from all over the world, talking about state affairs, and talking about the changes in the past few years, and my wife was listening to it, pouring wine for us from time to time, and the three of us were very happy to sit and talk like this.
"What do you think of Princess Zhangde's matter this time?" Yao Dongyuan asked me.
"I'm not at the birthday banquet, how can I judge based on everyone's words?" I smiled, "Besides, I'm not a professional in solving cases, the eldest grandson family is good at solving cases themselves, why can't this case be solved?" ”
"Thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, the great thief of the changing day, and the village of Osheng, aren't they all solved by you?" Yao Dongyuan said with a smile, "It is rumored that there are still things about fighting the secret guard and Shui unintentionally and relieving Master Zhao from the siege, but are there any of these things?" ”
I hurriedly waved my hand: "No, no, it's all nonsense." ”
"It's just that it's inconvenient for me to come forward and say anything about this matter, after all, our family has a relationship with the eldest grandson's family, and it will inevitably make people think that I favor the eldest grandson's family." Yao Dongyuan sighed and said, "Since you are good friends with Hou Ye, your grandfather is a close friend of the eldest grandson and the old lady, and both sides have a relationship, but everyone is more willing to listen to you." Besides, your uncle is Ge Tianjian, and he has always had prestige in the rivers and lakes, isn't it much better for you to come forward than me? ”
"So you poured me wine for this." I smiled and said, "Let me see the eldest grandson Jiashu tomorrow." ”
"You're not going to call him to your house, are you?" Madame said immediately.
"How dare I, naturally I went to the inn to visit him personally." I smiled, "Even if it's not for Dongyuan, for Princess Zhangde, I hope this matter can be solved well, she is already too bitter." ”
Following.
I took Qiu Ming to the inn where the eldest grandson Jiashu lived to meet him, he poured me tea, I saw a judge's pen on his table, he said: "Xiangye personally came to visit the grass people, the grass people are really scared." ”
"There is no need to say polite words, the eldest grandson and my grandfather are also lifelong friends, and we are also equals, so we don't need to call ourselves grass people." I laughed.
"Thank you, Prime Minister." The eldest grandson Jiashu also poured himself a cup of tea, I saw that he looked like Zhao Haoran was the same kind of person, delicate, and looked weak, but I expected that the judge's pen was not a vegetarian, "Is Dong Lai good?" ”
I didn't expect him to ask Madame first instead of Yao Dongyuan, so I said, "Very good." ”
"That's good, I haven't seen a hollyhock for a long time, and the lively and willful little girl in the past is now a mother." When the eldest grandson Yoshiki talked about his wife, the smile on his face was not like an expression to his former lover, but like to his sister.
"Thank you for taking care of Madame in previous years." I smiled and said, "I'm here to learn about Xing Yuanling's case." ”
"When will Xiangye start catching soon?"
"I can manage all the big and small matters in the Chen Kingdom, and this matter involves Princess Zhangde, so it's not surprising that I came to ask."
"This is natural, I don't know what Xiangye wants to ask, I will answer truthfully."
"I want a list of all the people on the day of the birthday feast, and their seats." I said.
"Xiangye also thinks that it is suspicious that the guests who arrived that day?" The eldest grandson, Yoshiki, went to take out a thick stack of paper, "I began to suspect that there was someone mixed in with the guests that day, so I had prepared this thing a long time ago." ”
"The eldest grandson and the old lady have been in the officialdom for so many years, and naturally they have friends in black and white, so it is inevitable that they will be mixed." I took the paper and looked through it, and the eldest grandson Jiashu picked out the list of the table where Xing Yuanling sat and showed it to me, and said: "The people sitting at this table are all my grandfather's disciples, and they have sat at many tables, and Xing Yuma is one of the tables, and the people at the same table with him have all been investigated before I came, and there is no problem." ”
"The eldest grandson and the old lady are above board, and the disciples under him are naturally frank and open." I flipped a few pages and saw that there was also Ge Tianjian's name in the guest list, sitting at the same table with my grandparents, and there were several names on the rivers and lakes that were like thunder, the big thief Jieyue, Sun Yun and General Sun were among them, who could take Xing Yuanling away under the noses of these people?
I flipped through it casually and said to the eldest grandson Jiashu: "You can list all these people who are not native to Chenguo." ”
After the Rebellion of the Three Kingdoms, many foreigners came to Chenguo and settled in Chenguo, and there were many such people on the rivers and lakes. The eldest grandson Jiashu immediately picked up the pen to sketch, there is only the name of the person on it, and there is no other marking, he actually knows everyone's background, this memory and Du Duzhen have a fight, I can't help but think that if there is a "Chenguo Archives Competition", I don't know who will win between him and Du Duzhen.
In a few moments, he had circled all the foreigners, and copied them on another piece of paper, according to the country. I looked at it and sure enough, it was still the most Weiguo, but when I asked him, he was not a famous person, but I had heard of Ye Yuncheng of Youguo.
"Ye Yuncheng... Is it the 'golden chicken'? ”
"Yes, he is a famous swordsman in Youguo, and he was originally a child of a family, but when the Youguo War was in turmoil, his whole family was killed, so he came to Chenguo, because he carried a golden chicken everywhere he went, and he wore a mask, and no one knew what he looked like, so they called him Jinji." The eldest grandson Jiashu said, "His sword is indeed famous, and my father met him once, so he invited him." ”
I remembered that Ni Yuyu is also from Youguo, but he also works in Sakule, just because he was arranged to lurk in the imperial court, so outsiders don't know, this Ye Yuncheng, will it also be Sakule's people?
I agreed on this list, so I resigned from my eldest grandson Jiashu and went to the water prison.
I haven't been to the water prison for a long time, Rao is now Mayday, and I am shivering from the cold of the water prison, and I walked to Ni Yuyi's cell, but there was no trace of him.
I heard that No. 2 had gone crazy and was shouting non-stop, so Master Li asked someone to put an iron mouth on him with an iron mouth, and then take it off for him when he ate.
No. 1 shrank in the cell, and when he saw me coming, he ****: "Hell, when is this, there are still people coming to the water prison." ”
"Xiangye, I don't think these people are in their normal minds, let's stop talking to him." Qiu Ming swallowed her saliva and said.
"Don't worry." I approached the water prison No. 1, "What about the person who is locked up across from you?" ”
"How do I know, he comes when he wants, he goes when he wants, how like us, my poor second brother, woo woo woo ......"
I couldn't help but sigh when I saw that the invincible secret guards of the year had now come to this end. Thinking that Ni Yuyi ran out to steal roast chicken and good wine again, but I don't know how long he has been out.
"How long has he been out?"
"He can go out as long as he wants, he drinks, I drink the sewage dripping from the prison, he eats meat, I eat the dead rats in the prison......" No. 1 muttered, and he didn't know what he was talking about, "The two traitors, the eighth and tenth, hmph, now I want to stop, it's late, hum ......"
I listened carefully, and when I heard him talk about the eighth and tenth, I was surprised, and I planned to go back to Du Duzhen to talk about it.
"Xiangye, let's go, it's cold." Qiu Ming shouted again.
I thought that Ni Yuyi estimated that he would not be able to come back for a while, so he planned to leave, but before he walked out of the water prison, Ni Yuhe appeared in front of me covered in blood.
"What's the matter with you?" I was surprised, "Where's the injury?" ”
"Don't worry, it's not my blood." Ni Yuyi jumped, suddenly disappeared in front of my eyes, and reappeared in his cell, jumped into the water to wash before poking his head out, "What is Xiangye looking for me?" ”
"It doesn't matter to me, what's the matter with you?"
"The Sect Master told me to deal with two people." He climbed up to the stone platform, raised the flask and raised his head to drink, grunted and drank half of the jug, wiped his mouth and said, "You know each other eighty percent of these two people, they are No. 8 and No. 10. ”
"What?" This confused me, "What happened to Eight and Ten?" ”
"The sect leader only told me to go outside the city to dispose of the corpses of two people, and I went. I've seen them when they're locked in, and I can't be wrong. Ni Yuren said, "The heart was dug out, but it was dug up after death, and the lung was pierced with a sword in the front. ”
Ni Yuyi said casually, but it scared me into a cold sweat: "Aren't No. 8 and No. 10 well locked up in prison?" How can you die outside? ”
"This is not something I can tell Xiangye, telling Xiangye that No. 8 and No. 10 are dead, I already read the love with Xiangye." Ni Yuyi saw Qiu Ming holding soju in her hand, and flew over, "Give me some more wine, my body is cold and panicked." ”
I hurriedly asked Qiu Ming to give him the wine, and he drank another half jar and asked, "What is Xiangye looking for me?" ”
"Do you know Ye Yuncheng?" I got straight to the point.
"Jinji, I know, the two of us have drunk together." Ni Yuyi smacked his lips, "That was several years ago, in Yu Shun." ”
"Is Ye Rongcheng from Sakule?"
Ni Yuyi didn't seem to expect me to be so direct, so he was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Could it be that the people of the Youguo in the Chen Kingdom have to be Sakule?" ”
"Most of those like you who have kung fu will be recruited by Sakule." I said.
"Ye Yuncheng seems to be Sakule's, but he and I have different missions and different places, so I don't know his movements, and Xiangye doesn't have to ask me again." Ni Yuyi lay on the stone bed, "I'm very tired today, Xiangye, please go back first." ”
When I came out of the water prison, my doubts became even heavier. How did Eight and Ten escape the water prison? Who killed it? Why did Ni Yuyi dispose of their corpses? Since Ye Yuncheng is Sakule's person, will the matter of Xing Yuanling be related to him this time? If so, why did he attack Xing Yuanling? What's so special about Xing Yuanling?
