The old housekeeper of Prince Zheng of Heshuo, surnamed Mi, is the second in the family, and is known as Mi Er.

When he was young, he was sold into the palace as a slave, and he was not smart, but he was better than hard-working and hard-working.

The old prince treated him very well, promoted him from a house slave to the position of steward along the way, and paid for him to marry a daughter-in-law.

gave birth to a son, but unfortunately it was a short-lived ghost. When he was thirteen years old, he climbed the wall to clear the snow, slipped and fell to his death. The daughter-in-law became ill and died of illness within a few years.

When the two of them reached middle age, their wives and children were mourned, and they had no other hope in life, only to be loyal to the old prince. For the little prince Ruihua, it hurts even more as his own son.

Therefore, as Yeming said, even if the old man was tied up and cut off, he would not say half a word.

After figuring out the intentions of the three uninvited guests, Mi Er smacked his lips angrily, thought for a while, drank three cups of tea, and then said, "Okay." ”

Huang Yifeng was about to say something, but Ye Ming secretly pulled his sleeve.

"You can hear clearly, I have three rules, be bold, be careful, and not be discouraged." After the old man took a closer look at Yeming and Shen Shenying, he said slowly: "Young people are born like crowns of jade, and they will have a great future. Don't give Qingqing's life for a few taels of silver. ”

Huang Yifeng: Because Mao only doesn't look at me, am I not worthy?

Listening to the meaning of this, it is obvious that he is advising a few of them not to send them to death.

From this point of view, the old man knew very well the situation in the murderous house. As soon as it is said that raising ghosts, it seems that it is not very true.

However, Yeming did not rashly rule out the possibility that the old man did it deliberately.

"The old housekeeper should have gotten up before Mao Zheng, didn't have breakfast, and came to the teahouse not on the main street. Also, you don't have a sweet tooth. ”

After Yeming finished speaking, Mi Er was stunned.

"Y-How do you know this?!"

Huang Yifeng had long been accustomed to it, and Shen Shenying pricked up his ears with great interest and waited to listen to the following.

Ye Ming smiled, "If it was breakfast, this guy wouldn't have served such a big piece of baked cake." If you have a sweet tooth, you should buy a piece to cushion your stomach when you pass by the oil cake shop.

There are no oil cake shops on the main street, so you must have crossed through the alley next to it.

Don't ask me why I know that you passed by the oil cake shop, and the sweet smell of the room can't cover the smell of tea.

In addition, your shoes were newly changed this morning, and the soles of your feet are very clean, with only a little bit of jujube cake. ”

Mi Er was completely stunned, completely ignoring the young man's wording and tone of disrespect.

Ye Ming didn't say why the old man got up early before Mao Zheng, because this was really not what he observed.

While being transported to the coffin shop, he overhears a conversation between the boss and his buddy. Obviously, it was Mi Er who sent someone to ask the boss for a coffin, so that the freshly minced meat that Shen Shenying saw was packed and buried in the western suburbs.

Going back in time, it was about six o'clock in the morning.

Actually, Yeming is not sure whether the above judgment is completely correct, anyway, let's talk a few nonsense first, and then look at it if it's wrong.

If you want to be a part-time worker in the Braided Dynasty, it shouldn't be so difficult.

"Okay, okay!"

Mi Erda was convinced from the bottom of his heart, took out a few turf sheets from the cloth bag he carried, and shook it to signal the three of them to take it.

"Look at it clearly in black and white, sign and draw, whether it's life or death, don't blame the old man, I didn't remind you."

casually glanced at it, the traditional Chinese characters did not mean that they couldn't understand it, but they were too lazy to entangle these useless details with it. Yeming took the seal clay handed by the old man, and without saying a word, he pressed his thumb print on the contract of life and death.

The three of them each signed pseudonyms, namely: Ye Xiaotian, Huang Xiaodi, and Shen Abi.

A sloppy batch.

The old man was slightly surprised, glanced at Shen Shenying, and said in his heart that such an elegant and delicate young man would actually take such a bad name.

Without thinking too much, the old man put the three ingots of silver on the table and ordered: "You should eat and drink, you should wait for me at the mouth of the leather pants alley, and then I will lead you to the house." Remember, don't be late. ”

………

It's noon, and it's the last hour.

Leather pants alley, Prince Heshuo's mansion, gate.

The three of them looked up at the tightly closed high door and let out a sigh.

"It's so big!" Huang Yifeng shook his head and said: "Corruption, too corruption." ”

"According to what the old man said, the thirteenth into the compound, the preliminary estimate is that it covers an area of about 50 acres." Yeming probably made a visual inspection: "The height of the courtyard wall is nearly 6 meters, if you don't use tools, unless there are birdmen among us, we can't enter." ”

"Walk around and see if there's any place to find a ladder or a stepping stone that works." Shen Shenying suggested.

"It doesn't matter if we can't find it, we're just here to step on it, and we can go in at night anyway."

For the fact that he was not allowed to enter the door, Yeming was not surprised at all. Mi Er said that people only need to be guarded at night, which means that during the day, either the door of the house is closed or someone guards the door.

The three of them were also idle and had nothing to do, so they walked around the market, and the freshness quickly passed.

In line with the principle of making full use of the time limit of the mission, Ye Ming proposed to familiarize himself with the terrain first, and Huang Yifeng and Shen Shenying unanimously agreed.

However, the palace is too big, the front door is in the leather pants alley, the back door is in the chai alley, and the courtyards of different sizes are next to each other on the left and right.

In broad daylight, there are voices in every house, indicating that the owner is at home. The plan to stealthily borrow a ladder to climb over the wall to enter the house went bankrupt.

However, at the intersection of the street outside the Pichai Hutong, I found a rather tall building.

I quietly touched it and found that this was a bell tower, and I could barely look at the palace from the side.

Yeming stretched his neck, remembering as much as he could and carefully in his mind about most of the terrain of the palace he was looking at.

Then the sky sank.

Pinch the clock and count the point, which is close to unitary.

The three of them hurriedly left the bell tower and ran towards the mouth of the leather pants alley.

………

Mi Er led three young descendants who wanted money and didn't want their lives to come to the gate of Prince Heshuo's mansion.

Knock, one light, two.

After a short time, the two of them came to the high vermilion lacquer door and opened it with a squeak.

A middle-aged man in his early forties bent over Mi Er and said respectfully, "You are here." ”

Then, the middle-aged man squinted at the three of them again, didn't say anything more, dragged an arm-thick chain across the high threshold, and walked outside.

"There are a total of thirteen entrances in the house, and this head told you in the teahouse first." Mi Erchong beckoned to the three of them, crossed the threshold into the house, and introduced: "This is the first entry, and the left and right sides are wings." ”

The three of them followed into the hospital, and at a glance they were a little different from the imaginary magnificent, open and accessible.

Bypassing the door, the first time you enter the courtyard is a passage paved with bluestone bricks, about 3 meters wide, and the left and right sides are connected to the green tile low houses.

The dwarf here means that it is not a high-rise building, but only one floor.

Mi Er walked briskly in front of him, and he didn't give much introduction, probably because he didn't think it was necessary.

Further in, there is the second entrance. The layout is much wider than the first one, and there are many tall trees planted on the walls.

When he arrived at the third entrance, Mi Er pointed to a side room on the left and said, "You live in this room, and there are bedding in it." There are five main rooms and seven east and west wings, so you don't have to worry about them. ”

Huang Yifeng cooperated and pushed open the room of the wing room, and glanced at it meaningfully.

As the old man said, there are quite a few daily necessities inside, there is a stove next to the door, and although the carbon fire has been extinguished, the teapot on it is still a little hot to the touch.

Come to think of it, it should be the middle-aged man on the day shift in front of him, who stayed.

"Alright, that's it. Ten into it, and you will go in and see. Mi Er turned around and walked out, and halfway through, he didn't know what he thought, turned his head and said, "Xiaotian, Ah Cake, control yourself." No matter what you hear at night, don't pay attention to it, just stay here until dawn. ”

Shen Shenying probably didn't realize that the 'Ah Cake' shouted to him, and he didn't pay attention to it.

Yeming responded: "Oh, okay." ”

In this way, the old housekeeper Mi Er walked out of the courtyard in Huang Yifeng's resentful gaze.

The old man sighed lightly, shook his head and said secretly: "Alas, what a good offspring, I don't know if I can see it or not." ”

The middle-aged man stepped forward, and the old man waved his hand, "Okay, lock it." ”

Obeying the order, the middle-aged man immediately closed the vermilion lacquer door, and strung the thick chain on the ring buckle of the door of the house, and added a large copper lock that could not be split with an axe.
