Chapter 12: Murder and Silence
"Click", a thunderclap shook the earth, and the lightning quickly pierced the silence of the night, and in an instant the entire Zhangdun Mansion was illuminated as bright as day.
The soybean-like rain crackled down on the tiles, "Whew! "The wind blew like it was going to lift the whole roof. The rain rolled down the grooves on the roof, like a heavenly river bursting its banks, and it came fiercely.
The leaves rustle in the cold wind, and the wind makes strange noises through the cracks in the stones, making people shiver.
"Boom!" Another loud bang woke Gu Yanzhong from his dream, and he sat up suddenly, "Whew!" The fierce cold wind hit Gu Yanzhong's face directly, and he was forced to take a breath of cold air, and his body couldn't help but get a lot of goosebumps.
Looking again, the room was full of paper, and the windows of the room were blown open by the wind at some point.
He jumped out of bed and hurried to close the window.
Suddenly, Gu Yanzhong saw a black shadow, the black shadow hurriedly walked towards Fang Tianruo's room, and when he entered the door, there was no other movement in the room.
He looked at the back that didn't look like Fang Tianruo's back, but who would come to Fang Tianruo's room so late?
He waited for a long time, but he didn't see a black shadow come out, and the candlelight in Fang Tianruo's room didn't light up.
I don't know how long I waited, Gu Yanzhong's wine came up, his brain was dizzy, he yawned, and went to bed in a daze.
Gu Yanzhong didn't sleep well one night, his brain was dizzy, he always felt that the window in the room was not closed properly, and he always wanted to get up and close the window, but as soon as he felt that it was closed, it was blown open by the wind again.
The sky was getting brighter, the whole sky was gray, and the rain was not as big as last night, but it was still dripping, and the yard was full of residual leaves, and occasionally a cold wind blew, and the leaves clung to the ground, unconsciously turning a few times.
"Knock knock!" A knock on the door woke Gu Yanzhong from his daze. He shook his head, the whole person was groggy, and muttered in his heart: Who is disturbing my dream early in the morning, it must be Liu Yutang again, I am too lazy to go.
"Gu Gongzi, is Gu Gongzi here?" An unfamiliar voice sounded outside the door.
Gu Yanzhong frowned, shook his head, and walked towards the door, he opened the door, and there was a person standing at the door dressed like a black mole boy, who seemed to be the family of Zhangfu.
"Your Excellency?" Gu Yanzhong looked at the person in front of him, this person was white and pure, and he had the temperament of a scholar. In Gu Yanzhong's eyes, he is more like a scholar than other doormen.
"In the inner courtyard of the Xianai Zhangfu, I am here to tell Gu Gongzi that Gongzi won the title of the first guest of Zhangfu yesterday. Today is August 15, Lord Zhang has a night banquet for a group of guests, Gu Gongzi is the first guest, please go to Lord Zhang's study for a while. ”
"Shen Shi?" Gu Yanzhong felt strange when he heard this time, and he couldn't say what was strange.
He subconsciously looked at the door of Fang Tianruo's room, and the door was closed.
He couldn't help but wonder in his heart, and bowed and said, "This little brother, do you know what Lord Zhang asked me to do?" ”
Jia Ding shook his head and said, "This villain doesn't know. Please don't miss the appointment. ”
After saying that, he turned and left.
Gu Yanzhong sent him out of the inner courtyard, and looked at the back of the family and felt as if he had seen it somewhere.
As soon as he turned around, Liu Yutang stood behind him and shouted, "Brother Gu, you are finally awake!" ”
Gu Yanzhong subconsciously took a few steps back, looked at Liu Yutang in a daze, and couldn't get back to his senses.
Liu Yutang stretched out his hand and shook in front of him a few times, he looked at Gu Yanzhong's blank eyes, shook it again and said, "Brother Gu, you weren't frightened by me just now, you won't be able to speak!" ”
Gu Yanzhong slapped Liu Yutang's hand hard, a little angry, a little irritable, and said seriously: "What are you doing?" ”
Liu Yutang "squeaked" in his heart, scratched his head, like a child who had made a mistake, and said weakly: "I wanted to ask you to go to dinner, seeing that you drank too much yesterday and didn't call you." Now see you come out......"
Gu Yanzhong pointed to the family and asked suspiciously, "Do you know him?" ”
Liu Yutang said nonchalantly: "You said that the family who came to you just now." ”
When Gu Yanzhong heard this, he suddenly felt a lot of relief in his heart, he looked at Liu Yutang very seriously, and asked, "Who is he?" ”
"He is a small servant in the inner courtyard of Zhangdun, and it is said that he is also a confidant of Zhangdun." Liu Yutang raised his head as he spoke, looked at the family who had already walked away, and once again confirmed, "Yes, it's him, when you talked to him just now, I saw his side." ”
"The first guest of the Zhang Mansion is going to see Zhang Dun before the banquet?" Gu Yanzhong asked again.
Liu Yutang thought for a while and said, "If you don't say it, I can't remember, this guy seems to come to Fang Tianruo at this time of year." ”
He paused for a moment and then said, "Yes, I can't remember it before, but I definitely came here last year." ”
"Last year? Why are you so sure? Gu Yanzhong looked at Liu Yutang suspiciously.
"Because last year, when he came to Fang Tianruo, I wanted to borrow a set from Fang Tianruo because I didn't have decent clothes. As a result, if Fang Tian didn't lend it to me, he would be humiliated. It was at this time that he came. ”
Liu Yutang blushed when he said this, lowered his head, and said embarrassedly: "I was eavesdropping outside the window, so I knew." ”
Gu Yanzhong nodded secretly, it turns out that this is the case, it seems that I am suspicious. He added: "Today is the fifteenth day of August, when will the night feast begin?" ”
"It's usually a unitary seat. Master Zhang will be seated at three o'clock. Liu Yutang said and looked at the sky, his stomach gurgling, "Brother Gu, it's not time yet." I'll wait for you all morning, how about you go get something to eat first? ”
"Go on your own. I'll go back to my room and clean up, and I'll be going to see Master Zhang in a while. Gu Yanzhong said, turned around and left.
Gu Yanzhong returned to the room to find a decent dress, but found that there was nothing, but fortunately, when he came out of the Zhao Mansion, the clothes he wore on his body were passable.
His heart went up and down, uneasy, Zhang Dian summoned himself alone this time, if he could please him, why not take this opportunity to tell him about the affairs of the Zhao Mansion?
No, no, I'm not very familiar with Zhang Dun, and I don't fully understand his style of doing things. In case, if the affairs of the Zhao Mansion are not done well, and he still puts himself in, won't he give up all his efforts?
This matter is very important, and I am not sure at all, so let's wait until my position in Zhang Dian's heart is important.
This time is an opportunity to observe Zhang Dian up close.
I don't know when the rain stopped, and a faint light appeared in the distant sky, and the rain that remained on the leaves fell for a long time.
Gu Yanzhong buried his head and walked carefully on the bluestone road, holding his clothes in his hands, and muttering in his mouth: This ancient clothes are trouble. Pants are pants, and you have to make the clothes long, and it's really in the way when you shake them.
As he walked, there was a big puddle in front of him, and the puddle was huge. He lowered his head, his toes moved, flat cloth shoes, down into flat water shoes, and he would definitely creak when he walked.
He turned his head to look at the side of the puddle, which was full of thin mud, and when he stepped down, the shoe would definitely change color.
I will go to see Zhang Dun in a while, and there must be no mistakes, if I make a detour, there must be no time.
He looked at the puddle, the puddle was not big, and the diameter was more than two meters, and he said to himself: "If you want to get rich, you have to take a detour, and you have to be promoted." ”
He rolled up all his clothes, tied them around his waist, stepped back a little, trotted a few steps, stepped on the edge of the puddle, which looked shallow, and leaped sideways, and landed in another, which looked shallow.
After three strokes and two strokes, he jumped over the puddle and landed on the stone slab, and he looked back at the puddle and said, "Hehe, this little pit can stump me!" ”
Gu Yanzhong said, his eyebrows raised, and a smug smile appeared on his face.
He walked cautiously, and finally came to Zhang Dian's study, just now came to inform Gu Yanzhong's family to stand at the door, saw Gu Yanzhong coming and hurriedly greeted him, and said, "Gu Gongzi, the villain has been waiting here for a long time." ”
The little servant said and walked in front of Gu Yanzhong and helped him open the door.
Gu Yanzhong stepped in, and suddenly smelled a strange fragrance, the fragrance just smelled like ink and books, but this smell was mixed with another indescribable fragrance.
He glanced around the room, and the beaded curtain in the inner room drooped, and through the beaded curtain, he saw a person sitting with his back to him on the chair in the inner room.
He subconsciously looked at Jiading, who was still standing by the door, motioning for him to go inside.
He walked inside, saluted respectfully and said, "Gu Yanzhong, meet Master Zhang." ”
The people inside didn't answer for a long time, and he saluted respectfully again, saying, "Gu Yanzhong greets Master Zhang." ”
The man inside turned his chair, stood up, and slowly walked towards him.
Gu Yanzhong couldn't see who it was through the curtain, but looking at his figure, he didn't look like Zhang Dun when he heard this voice.
"It's you!" Gu Yanzhong was amazed.
The person in the curtain lifted the curtain and walked out, looked at Gu Yanzhong and said, "Gu Yanzhong, I didn't expect it!" ”
Gu Yanzhong's heart instantly regained its calmness, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and he said disdainfully: "I knew that there must be something strange about this matter. (It's really a good Lin Chong to buy a knife!) )”
As soon as the words fell, he suddenly felt something behind him, and before he could turn back, something hit him the back of the head, knocking his whole brain apart.
He turned around, his vision blurred, and he vaguely saw a black figure holding something in his hand, and fell down in a daze.
Gu Yanzhong heard a voice in a daze and said, "Quick, get him out." ”
Gu Yanzhong only felt that his whole body had no strength at all, his body was numb, his body was lifted up, and he didn't know where it went, and gradually, he completely entered a state of confusion and lost consciousness.
Fang Tianruo and his family carried Gu Yanzhong to the north courtyard of Zhangdun Mansion, where the north courtyard was overgrown with wild grass, and there was a dry well in the barren grass.
"Die!" Fang Tianruo threw Gu Yanzhong into the well without hesitation, he stretched out his head to look into the well, and he couldn't see the bottom at all.
"I'll put you against Lao Tzu." He clapped his hands, a smug smile rising from the corner of his mouth.
