Chapter 168: Finding the Truth at Night
The crescent moon hangs in the air, the still trees are silent, and there are few people on the streets of the city. The guy from the last Puren pharmacy was outside the door, pushing the door shut, and he was also ready to wash and sleep. Three hurried figures passed in front of him, and the man turned his head to look, and while blocking the door, he muttered: This big night, such a hurry is not to tie up people.
Three figures were hidden under a wall, one reached out and pointed to the opposite side, the other two nodded and waved back, and the man turned around and ran back the way he came.
"I'm going to open the back door." Dao Zi said softly.
Running quickly through the moonlight, the knife purple stuck to the back door of the palace compound, listened attentively, slowly pulled out the scimitar from his boot, and stuffed it along the crack in the door.
Shadowless in the dark, looking around. It's surprisingly quiet, except for the two of them, I'm afraid only the rats will be dispatched.
The small door was pushed open, Dao Zi flashed in, bent down against the wall, and Wu Ying looked at it for a moment, and quickly ran in, closing the back door casually.
The two looked at each other, and took out a black cloth from their arms, blocking their faces. Wuying pointed to the left, and the two of them pressed against their waists. As soon as it was next to the door, the door of the room opened, and a man walked out. Thinking that he had been discovered, Dao Zi rushed out to cover the man's mouth with one hand, and the scimitar was placed on his neck.
"Woo, woo." The man couldn't make a sound, he leaned against the wall and shivered with fright, and there was a ticking sound from below.
"If you cry out, I will kill you." Dao Zi said viciously, causing the man to nod again and again.
Dao Zi let go of the hand covering the man, but the scimitar was still on his neck, and asked, "This is the palace, who are you?" ”
"A good man spares his life, a good man spares his life, this is the palace, I am just a subordinate guarding the back door." This Ding was also unlucky, he got up to go to the toilet, but he was scared by Dao Zi and peed his pants. If I knew this, it was better to lie in bed directly to solve it, and I was not frightened.
If you don't see him, you're just a subordinate. Leaned over and asked, "Where is Wang Yuanwai?" If you don't tell the truth, you won't see the sun tomorrow. ”
"In the Left Pavilion." The subordinate pointed and suddenly felt that something was wrong, so he hurriedly changed his words and said, "In the right pavilion, the little young master is there, and the staff went to the fourth young grandmother's room." ”
"Lead the way." Dao Zi pinched his neck with one hand and held the knife with the other. The man pressed his trembling legs a few times and walked forward.
Walking to a room, the man stopped and pointed. Wuying saw that the candle light was lit in the room, and the people inside had not yet fallen asleep, so they shook their heads at Dao Zi. Dao Zi slapped the man on the back of the neck, dragging him into the flower pond, and he couldn't wake up within half an hour.
The two of them stuck under the window, and after listening to it for a while, they didn't see a sound, Dao Zi opened the door with a knife, and the two of them dodged into the house.
This is exactly the room of the concubine in the fourth room outside the king. The first three girls in a row, this fourth room is also angry, and gave birth to a big fat son to Wang Yuanwai, naturally the mother is expensive with her son, and Wang Yuanwai also came here more.
When the two entered the house, they saw a young woman lying on her side on the bed, patting a child to sleep, and a fat man lying on the outside, already asleep.
Walking into the inner room, the young woman heard the movement, looked back, and saw two masked men standing in the middle of the room, and screamed in fright, which woke up the fat man who was sleeping soundly.
"Whoever dares to shout will be killed." Dao Zi stretched the knife to the fat man's chest, and the woman held the quilt and curled up in the corner of the bed.
"Two masters, don't hurt my life, I have something to say." This fat man is Wang Yuanwai, sleeping Zhengxiang was awakened by the young woman's voice, and before he could get angry, he was pointed at the chest with a scimitar, and he didn't dare to get up, so he lay back again.
"You're the king, aren't you?" Dao Zi asked.
"Yes, yes, it's the villain." Wang Yuanwai lay on the bed and nodded.
"I'm just asking you a few words, and I'll answer you truthfully, and if there's a lie, I'll take your life." Shadowless flicked his leg in and sat sideways on the edge of the bed.
"Uncle, excuse me." Wuying obviously felt his legs trembling, and reached out to press on his legs, which made the king tremble.
"What do you mean by taking a broken bottle and asking the Jingwei Dart Bureau to send a dart?" Shadowless asked coldly.
When Wang Yuanwai heard this, he understood, and hurriedly said: "Uncle, in fact, that dart was not checked by me." It was a few days ago, I sent some good tea to Lord Zhizhou, and Lord Zhizhou told me that there was a Du Gongzi who wanted to send a German kiln to the back hall, but Du Gongzi had some conflicts with the dart board, and he was afraid that the dart board would not transport it, so he borrowed my name. ”
"Nonsense, why not borrow someone else's name?" Dao Zi handed the knife forward.
"Uncle is angry." Wang Yuanwai looked down at the scimitar, for fear that he would exhale hard and push his stomach against the tip of the knife. continued: "I also questioned, Lord Zhizhou said that the item is valuable, ordinary people will not have this thing, only I transport the dart bureau will not be suspicious." ”
"Go on."
"Yes, yes. I promise it. Just a few days ago, that Du Gongzi came to the house and said that he would deliver the kiln immediately, so I went out of the house and took the goods and went to the dart bureau. This morning, Du Gongzi came to the house and said that the kiln was broken, and asked me to ask for 10,000 taels of silver, and promised me 1,000 taels after the dart bureau compensated. It was also my momentary wealth obsession, so I responded and went to the yamen to sue Du Darttou. Wang Yuanwai told what happened without concealing it at all.
"Sure enough, it's Du Tao who is playing tricks." After hearing this, Wuying understood, and the young master guessed that it was indeed right. Stretched out his hand and patted Wang Yuanwai's thigh, and said with a smile: "My young master said that your son has peculiar roots and bones, and he is a good billet for practicing martial arts, so it is better to let us take it and send it back to you after forty or fifty years of practice." ”
Wang Yuanwai was frightened, and said with a wry smile: "Uncle, don't laugh at me, when the dog is trained, won't I be long gone." ”
"When you go to Yamen tomorrow, you will say that you have taken the wrong item, and you are transporting celadon instead of a German kiln, so that your son does not need to practice martial arts." Shadowless recounted what the voyage had said.
"This ...... Lord Zhizhou, will you be embarrassed with me? "Wang Yuanwai is quite embarrassed, both sides are characters that are not easy to mess with, and he can't afford to offend any of them.
"If you and Du Tao don't pursue it anymore, why should he make trouble." After speaking, Wuying stood up, reached out and touched the sleeping child's face, and said lightly: "The child is sleeping very soundly, I hope it won't disturb him." ”
Dao Zi withdrew the knife and said in a cold voice: "My young master has the virtue of a good life, otherwise I would have taken your head." Hum! Shape up or ship out. ”
The two exchanged glances, turned and walked out of the room. Seeing that the man was still unconscious in the flower pond, the two of them laughed and went out of the house.
Accompanied Du Wen to climb the mountain during the day, and came here again without rest after coming back, but now Yuanhang felt tired, looked at Du Wen, and said: "But there is a place to rest, I am so tired." ”
Seeing that he looked tired, Du Wen didn't think much about it, got up and said, "Go to my room to rest first." ”
Yuanhang nodded and walked to the door of the room behind her, Yuanhang saw Du Wen push open the door, and asked in surprise, "This is your room?" ”
Du Wen nodded and asked, "Why do you ask this?" ”
Yuanhang walked in with a smile, fell on the bed with a big grin, and said with a smile: "Do you know why I asked?" for this was my room. ”
Du Wen didn't close the door, walked over and sat at the table, watching him lying on his bed, and blushing inexplicably. The voyage was indeed tired, and after only saying a word, he fell asleep. Du Wen had to stay at the table and wait for news.
Shadowless and Dao Zi returned to the dart game, Du Wen evoked Yuanhang, and the two listened to what Wang Yuanwai said, and after Yuanhang listened, he sat on the edge of the bed and pondered.
In this way, Wang Yuanwai is just a pawn. If you go to find Du Tao again, he is extremely timid, and he will tell the truth with a little intimidation. I want to know who's behind it. After Yuanhang finished speaking, he thought for a moment and added: "Tie him up here, and I will ask him personally." ”
"Hmm." The two of them answered, and after giving a salute, they turned around again and walked out.
"How do they know where the scoundrel is?" Du Wen asked curiously.
Yuanhang smiled lightly and said, "As long as it is the person they are looking for, there is nothing they can't find." ”
Sure enough, this Du Tao was a playboy, so he went to a green house without a shadow, handed over some silver, and inquired about his whereabouts.
"Du Gongzi, giggles, what a coincidence, Du Gongzi is on the second floor, Miaozhu's room is ecstasy......" The woman put the silver on her chest, and before she finished speaking, Wuying pushed her away, and the two walked quickly upstairs.
Dao Zi asked Miaozhu's room, stepped forward and kicked the door open. Du Tao had fallen asleep with Miaozhu in his arms, and was startled by a bang, and before he could figure out what was going on, he saw a black shadow in front of him, and his head buzzed, and he fainted.
Dao Zi wrapped Du Tao in a sheet, bent down and carried him on his shoulder, turned around and walked out. Wuying glanced at the frightened woman in the bed, and turned away.
The two of them threw Du Tao on the ground in the front hall of the dart game, the list was scattered, and Du Tao rolled out naked, punched in the head by Dao Zi, and did not wake up.
Du Wen snapped, closed her eyes tightly, blushed, and turned around. Seeing this, Yuanhang stepped forward and kicked it, scolding: "Your grandmother, she is so shameless when she faints." This kick woke Du Tao up, lay on the ground, and shook his head.
"Young master, I found him in the Qinglou." Wuying pointed at Du Tao on the ground.
Du Tao raised his head and saw Yuanhang standing in front of him, subconsciously took a step back, found that he had nothing, bent down to pick up the list, and wrapped it around his body.
"Du Gongzi, it's very cool." Yuanhang smiled and walked around him.
"What do you want to do?" Du Tao clutched the list on his waist tightly with both hands and said, "You can't come nonsense, I have a very good personal relationship with Lord Zhizhou." ”
"Yes, if it's not good, how can you take a broken bottle and frame Du Darttou by the mouth of Zhizhou and the hand of Wang Yuanwai." Yuanhang turned back to Du Wen's side, clasped his hands in front of his chest, and looked down at him.
"You ......" Du Tao looked over in astonishment, how did he know.
Yuanhang snorted and said, "If you don't want people to know, you can't do it unless you can't do it." Do you think that you will do it seamlessly, don't you know that there must be a mistake in a hundred secrets, and you will betray yourself with a word on the mountain road today. ”
Yuanhang glanced at Dao Zi, Dao Zi stepped forward and raised his fist and beat him hard, Du Tao rolled to the ground, unable to bear the pain and begging for mercy.
"It's late at night, I don't want to listen to nonsense, why do you want to frame Du Darttou, to tell the truth." Yuanhang shouted to stop Dao Zi and turned around and sat down in a chair.
"I say, I say." Du Tao grinned and said: "I took a fancy to Miss Du Wen, and when I was rejected, I went to Yan Zhizhou for help, he came up with this plan for me, I didn't want to hurt Du Wentou, I just wanted to get her." After speaking, he raised his eyes and looked at Du Wen.
After hearing this, Du Wen was angry, turned around and reprimanded: "Villain, you are also worthy!" ”
After hearing this, Yuanhang jumped up from the chair, stepped forward and kicked Du Tao in the stomach, and said angrily: "If you hear it, you are also worthy." ”
Yuanhang took a breath and said to Du Tao: "Today is just to teach you some lessons, if you have any other intentions, I will let you be a eunuch, get out." ”
Du Tao was so frightened that he said yes again and again, and ran out with a roll. Turning to look at Du Wen, he leaned over and whispered some words, and Du Wen tapped the show after hearing it. Yuanhang continued: "It's late tonight, so I'll go back first. ”
Du Wen nodded and said in a low voice, "Thank you." ”
Yuanhang paused, looked back and smiled, and walked out. Du Wen sent it to the door, watched him leave, remembered a scene on the mountain road in her mind, and her face couldn't help but turn red.
