Chapter 40: The Study
(Today's third update, please click, recommend, and collect support!) Appreciate! )
The guerrilla general's official residence as the No. 2 person in Lushun City covers a huge area, and the backyard as a living area is like a labyrinth. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Although there was the light of the moonlight, Han Yue, who was a bit of a road idiot, still couldn't tell the difference between the southeast and the northwest in this unfamiliar environment, so he simply didn't care, saw a small courtyard, and saw that there was no courtyard gate, so he quietly slipped in.
This courtyard is not big but very exquisite, and seeing a glimmer of light in the papier-mâché window, Han Yue quietly touched the corner of the wall.
"Phew, vixen, it's only been a few days since I couldn't bear the loneliness, and as soon as the master came back, he pestered him to do that kind of dirty thing during the day." A woman with a somewhat sharp voice scolded in the room, her angry tone mixed with a hint of sourness.
"Isn't it, the maid heard Xiaocui say that the master stayed in his room for an hour, and the inside... That kind of cry was heard by many people. ”
Crackling~ The sound of porcelain being swept to the ground and smashed sounded.
"The third lady is angry, I think the fox spirit is just a moment of pride, and after a few days, when the master gets tired of playing, he will become a slut who is not favored." Seeing that the lady angrily swept the tea sets on the table to the ground, the maid hurriedly cursed a certain woman in a low voice to relieve her master's anger.
Smack~ A huge slap sounded, and then there was the sound of someone falling to the ground, and through the projection of the window, a woman could be seen standing up suddenly, pointing to the ground and trembling.
"You... Are you saying I'm not even as good as that slut? The woman was so angry that her voice changed.
"Madame... Son-in-law... The maid who was lying on the ground knelt down and begged for mercy with the pain on her face.
However, the angry woman did not spare the maid on the ground, and kicked vigorously with her feet outstretched, and scolded in a sharp voice: "Don't think I don't know, you lowly rotten thing has been carrying me on weekdays to show favor to the fox spirit, why, seeing that I am gradually being snubbed by the lord here, I want to change to a favored landlord so that I can continue to look for opportunities to seduce the master, and you don't look at your stumbling appearance, how can the lord blind you to you, you can only be a lowly commodity in this life, and the old lady will call Steward Cui tomorrow to sell you to the kiln." ”
The maid on the ground kept crying and begging for mercy, and she didn't care about the pain of being kicked by the woman.
"You rotten embryo... Born with a cheap appearance of 10,000 people riding and 1,000 people stabbing her, the old lady was angry when she looked at it. The hostess's shrill scolding and the maid's heart-rending voice made the small courtyard lively.
Han Yue, who was cowering in the corner, shook his head helplessly.
The status of women in this era is low, and the status of women who are maids is even lower, basically the object of the female master's venting mood and the male master's ****, and sooner or later those with bad lives will be sold to the lowest brothel.
Xiao Siqi would definitely not be hidden in this kind of courtyard, Han Yue couldn't bear to hear the desperate begging for mercy from the maid inside, and quickly left this small courtyard.
……
Han Yue took advantage of the moonlight to explore a few more courtyards, but found nothing, it was easy to hide a person in the huge backyard of Cui's mansion, but it was difficult to find someone.
Time passed minute by minute, thinking of Xiao Siqi's beautiful face, thinking that she didn't know what kind of humiliation she was suffering at this time, Han Yue's heart ached.
There is no way, only to take the risk and catch someone and ask.
But this means that you have to prepare to kill, otherwise even if you knock out the other party after asking, you will expose yourself, and you will be even more startled.
Killing people is a must, Han Yue thought about this problem a few days ago, it is impossible to survive without killing people in this era, not to mention that he is also a Ming border army, one day he will go to the battlefield, and one day he will face death and killing.
However, he was really ready to kill someone, but Han Yue was a little scared and a little cowardly, after all, he had received legal education since he was a child, and he still couldn't be calm when he suddenly let himself end another person's life, an hour ago, when he fought with the masked man, he was ready to kill, but it was forced, it was in a situation where his life was seriously threatened, in the words of later generations: I was self-defense, but now I do take the initiative to kill someone.
There was no way, Han Yue gritted his teeth.
Killing people is to save people, he comforted himself like this.
So, Han Yue hid in a gap in a rockery next to him.
Just catch the first person who passes by here, thinking so.
After a while, a footstep slowly approached.
Han Yue's heart suddenly tightened, his body trembled a little, he clenched his fists, and tensed his body to prevent himself from being nervous.
Don't blame me, blame your bad luck!
Footsteps are near.
Footsteps arrived.
Smelling a fragrance, it was a maid, and Han Yue found the girl through the gap.
The girl walked in front of Han Yue, and the two were separated by a rockery.
The girl walked past the rockery, and Han Yue was already behind her.
The girl walked away.
Han Yue took a breath of relief, but in the end he still didn't start, but his back was already sweaty, and he didn't know if it was because of the dull weather or the violent struggle in his heart.
Walking out of the rockery, Han Yue didn't know what it was like in his heart.
……
The house in front of him should be Cui Zuyao's study, thinking that many secret things in the TV series in later generations were planned in the study, Han Yue felt the need to check it out.
Seeing that there was no one around, Han Yue gently pushed the door of the study, found that it was locked, turned to the window of the study, took out a dagger that he carried with him, inserted it through the gap in the side of the window, and then gently lifted it up, only to hear a squeak.
Sure enough, it was bolted from the inside.
Han Yue was delighted, pushed open the window and jumped in gently, and then closed the window.
Cui Zuyao's study was very large and elegant, but Han Yue didn't have the heart to appreciate it, and he looked around as quickly as he could, but he didn't find anything, and Han Yue, who was disappointed, subconsciously hammered the desk, but soon he was startled by the recklessness.
Hey, strange, how can there be an echo on the table, this table is obviously made of thick pineapple wood.
Thinking of a possibility, Han Yue calmed down a little and listened to the movement outside, and seeing that there were no footsteps approaching, Han Yue relieved himself.
Gently knocked on the position just now with your hand, there is an echo, and the inside is empty!
Han Yue carefully looked up and down the desk, and sure enough, he found a trap buckle in an inconspicuous place.
With a flick, a small mezzanine pops out of the edge of the thick pineapple table, in which some correspondence documents are placed.
Because it was too dark in the study, and the moonlight was just behind the window, he had to squat under the desk and take out a fire fold to light the oil lamp on the desk.
These letters are written in traditional characters, and there are no punctuation marks, and it is not difficult to read because Hanyue University is studying Chinese, and ancient literature appreciation is a compulsory course.
The content of the letters is bound to be disgraceful, some of them are report letters such as how much empty salary, how much smuggling, and how many benefits have been sorted out by Cui Zuyao's staff under his lieutenant, and there are also some personal letters from some officials and businessmen in Dengzhou Mansion, Beijing, Yingtianfu and other places to Cui Zuyao, because the handwriting is known at a glance It is the style of a literati or a master who has been writing for a long time, and only a few are crooked and skewed like first-grade children graffiti to record some accounts, which must be the masterpiece of Cui Zuyao, a martial artist.
This information has no effect on Han Yue, with this to bring down Cui Zuyao? It seems that there is no need for this now, and the contents of these letters do not cure any serious sin.
Just when Han Yue was a little disheartened, he suddenly found that there was an open letter at the bottom.
Han Yue opened it and looked at it, and was immediately shocked.
