Chapter 45: Gao Lei's Secret

Zhao Pengcheng dragged Chen Mo to the railing by the river and stood still, looked around again, and saw a snow-white field, except for himself and Chen Mo, there was no half a figure, and then said: "Gao Lei actually insisted that he had seen you in the thatched house that day, and you would be in big trouble." But he didn't admit it, which has always been strange to us. According to what you said, the two of you obviously took pictures in the thatched house, why did he deny it? Could it be that they are covering up something? ”

At that time, Chen Mo had to get out of the big trouble, and he didn't pay attention to these details at all, but now after Zhao Pengcheng's reminder, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "It's really like this, the third brother is still careful." Tell me, what exactly is he trying to hide? It can't be gold and silver jewelry, right? ”

Chen Mo guessed half right, Zhao Pengcheng did find five silver tickets of the capital Huitong Qian Zhuang under a movable green brick in the thatched house, all of which were worth 1,000 taels, a total of 5,000 taels of silver.

"If you really have your kid, give it, half of it will be given to you, and half of it will be kept!" Zhao Pengcheng fumbled in his arms, took out a silver ticket and handed it to Chen Mo.

"A thousand taels?" Chen Mo's eyes widened. Of course, he knew that this thousand taels was by no means the "half" that Zhao Pengcheng said, but he was still taken aback by the other party's generosity.

The small firefighter has five buckets of rice a month, and if it is converted into silver, it is less than two coins, and a thousand taels of silver is almost worth the fifty years of a small fireman, so it is no wonder that Chen Mo was surprised.

Zhao Pengcheng was very satisfied with Chen Mo's performance, and smiled: "It's still brother, okay?" Isn't it Aunt Qi of the rare Ciqing Palace? Now that you have this thousand taels of silver, do you hit the golden hairpin or the golden step, and she smiles when you smash the silver, right? ”

Chen Mo's face was hot: "Third brother, don't talk nonsense, people don't look down on us...... We can't take this silver ticket, and we won't be able to ...... it for nothing."

"What can't you take?" Zhao Pengcheng glared at Chen Mo dissatisfiedly: "Are we two talking about this?" Besides, you have just been promoted now, and you need to do it in many ways, and it is the time when you are short of silver, take it, and don't blame us for not recognizing you as a brother. ”

"This ......"

"Okay, okay, don't be verbose, put it up quickly, it's not good for others to see it. It's not for nothing, in addition to this silver ticket, in fact, we also found this, you have a good brain, help to refer to the details. ”

Zhao Pengcheng said, and took out a piece of brown paper from his arms and handed it to Chen Mo.

Chen Mo took the silver ticket, took the kraft paper and looked at it, and found that there were many numbers written on it with a brush, what thirty-three (two), what one five zero (pick-up) and the like, densely packed, the kraft paper with a square ruler was full of words, what should be the password, and he looked at it for a long time, but he had no clue.

These numbers should be coded words, with the number of pages in front and the first words in the back, corresponding to a certain book...... It's a pity that the book of the world is as vast as a sea of smoke, Gao Lei is dead, and it is difficult to decipher it! ”

Zhao Pengcheng's cleverness was beyond Chen Mo's imagination: "What the third brother said makes sense, this matter can only be dealt with...... By the way, are you familiar with him, do you know what books he likes to read? He asked, looking at the numbers carefully, because there were many numbers and there were no rules to follow, it was difficult to memorize them.

"He has a copy of "Journey to the West", and he can't put it down, but let's compare it, it shouldn't be that book."

"By the way, are you familiar with his penmanship? Are these numbers written by Gao Lei? Chen Mo thought of another possibility, and asked, his eyes not taking off the kraft paper in front of him.

Zhao Pengcheng replied in an affirmative tone: "He definitely wrote it, this can't be wrong." ”

The corners of Chen Mo's mouth curled slightly, closed his eyes, and after confirming that his memory was correct and there was no possibility of forgetting, he opened his eyes and handed the kraft paper back to Zhao Pengcheng: "The key is that Gao Lei is gone, this matter is like looking for a needle in a haystack, it is difficult to ...... What about his righteous disciples and disciples, you don't ...... Yes, I must have asked a long time ago. Let's deal with it slowly, it's useless to be in a hurry. ”

Zhao Pengcheng was a little frustrated, put the kraft paper back in his arms, nodded and said: "That's the only way, you can remember that there is such a thing, don't you want to enter the palace, don't delay you, the road is slippery in snow, slow down on the road." ”

Chen Mo nodded goodbye, hurriedly returned to the palace to resume his life, and when he arrived at the Heart Cultivation Palace, it was already the beginning of the Shen Dynasty, and it was almost dinner time.

Zhu Yijun was looking at the excerpts, and when he saw him come in, he put down the Zhu pen and got up to get off the kang, and asked while stretching his body, "Why have you been there for so long?" ”

Chen Mo peeked at it, and saw that there was no displeasure on Zhu Yijun's face, and he was immediately relieved, and told him what had happened, except for omitting the section on Zhao Pengcheng, without saying a word, he didn't even hide the matter of going to Liu Shouyou's house. Of course, Feng Bao also went to Liu Shouyou's mansion, but he didn't dare to mention it.

When eunuchs leave the palace, they are all on official business, and it is normal for them to do some private affairs on the convenience of official business, and everyone does this. However, there are very few people like Chen Mo who complain so calmly, not to mention that they are unique.

Zhu Yijun knew this, nodded with satisfaction, not only did not blame, but praised it: "Knowing grace and virtue, it should be like this, it seems that you didn't read the sage's book in vain." Saying that, he suddenly smiled and said, "You are also worthless enough, don't you know who to ask for silver?" And run back to your stepfather? ”

Chen Mo smiled shyly and did not answer.

Seeing this, Zhu Yijun no longer made fun of it, but suddenly asked, "Tell me, how did Wang Jiaping thank you?" ”

This is a question that needs to be dealt with carefully.

Chen Mo's mind was turning, guessing Wanli's thoughts, he definitely didn't like people who made small reports, if he told the truth, he would be suspected of suing the black, so it was better to do the opposite, so he smiled and said: "Lord Wang treats us very politely, good tea and good water hospitality, and you have to keep us for dinner, we don't dare to eat." ”

"Nonsense," Zhu Yijun glanced at Chen Mo and sneered: "Don't put gold on your face, then Wang Jiaping has always looked down on you people, and he still keeps you to eat?" You haven't even taken a sip of water, have you? ”

"Long live the master is like a god, let's ......" Chen Mo wanted to pat himself on the back, but he didn't know how to shoot it well, so he could only bow his head and keep his mouth shut, but he was secretly proud in his heart.

"It is said that it is a beautiful errand for me to go out of the palace, but this Wang Jiaping is special, I already knew that you would not get any benefits, and if you didn't do well, you would have to suffer a little. It's good that you don't have any resentment. On a cold day, I can't let you run in vain, and when I go to Zhang Dazhu to ask for silver, I will ask for an extra ten taels of silver, which will be counted as a reward for you. It's not too early, let's pass the meal! ”

"Yes!" Chen Mo agreed to leave the hall.

Wei Dongsheng, who had been waiting for a long time as the steward of the imperial dining room, saw Chen Mo and hurriedly greeted him, smiling brighter than a flower: "I've seen Gonggong Chen, it's not too early, it's time for a meal, right?" ”

"Grandpa Wei is too polite, our family is here for this matter, let's pass on the meal!"

"Yes!" Wei Dongsheng nodded and went to Zhang Luo, and the effort was not great, and a little eunuch came over with a sealed food box, and the fragrance was fragrant.

Chen Mo is Zhu Yijun's personal eunuch, so he naturally has to serve him for dinner. It's just that facing a table of unnamed dishes makes him feel like he has nowhere to start.

Zhu Yijun smiled, crossed his knees on the kang, and pointed to the opposite side: "I don't need you to serve, I can't use up this big table alone, you can also sit and drink two cups with me." ”

"The ministers don't dare!" Accompanying the emperor to dine, Chen Mo never thought about it.

"What don't you dare, pour me wine, you use this!" Zhu Yijun took out a golden wine bottle from under the kang table and handed it to Chen Mo.

"The gold bottle is drunk together, and the white blade is not spared." For some reason, such a sentence suddenly popped out of Chen Mo's mind, his heart beat violently, and cold sweat instantly surged all over his body.
