Chapter 52: Bugging
Li Yi and others found a restaurant with a good reputation to eat, it was noon, there were many diners in the lobby, and Zhong Mu asked for a private room.
All the way, there was the sound of He Yuxiang chattering, and he didn't stop when he arrived at the hotel.
He Yuxiang stood by the railing on the second floor, overlooking the officers and soldiers downstairs to ask passers-by and hawkers, and he could see two officers and soldiers every few zhang away.
Just now, when they were about to enter the door of the hotel, they were stopped by officers and soldiers and asked them again.
He Yu looked at it for a while, then sighed and returned to his seat, propped his head and said: "These officers and soldiers are really brainless, such a fanfare investigation, it is strange that Du Xun is still in the city." ”
Zhong Mu disagreed, "As far as I know, the city gate has been closed for martial law at the moment of today, and no one is allowed to enter or leave, since the government has sent people to search, then Du Xun should still be in the city." ”
"Heh, this Du Xun is also stupid, he didn't go to the deserted suburbs to hide from him for ten days and half a month, and he actually ran to this kind of place for refuge, isn't this a sheep in the mouth of a tiger?" He Yuxiang has never seen such a stupid brain, and he doesn't find the right place to escape.
Zhong Mu said lightly: "I think Du Xun's move is not stupid, but has other plans." ”
Zhong Mu's words, He Yuxiang was confused, "What do you mean?" ”
Zhong Muwenya asked, "Dare to ask Brother Yu, why did Du Xun take the risk of stealing a jade pendant in the deep palace?" And the palace is heavily guarded, how can you enter it casually? ”
He Yuxiang held his chin with his left hand and thought for a long time, but he really couldn't figure it out, and then shook his head.
After Zhong Mu coughed twice, he said in a low voice: "I have a bold guess, Du Xun should have a connector in Jiangling, and this connector is likely to be the mastermind behind it." ”
Li Yi didn't expect Zhong Mu to dare to say it, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
After hearing this, He Yu suddenly realized, "In this way, the person behind Du Xun must be a big man, otherwise how can he let the famous thief saint go to the palace to steal things, according to the law of the Tang Dynasty, serious thieves will be exiled for three thousand miles and serve three years of hard labor." ”
"The treasures that Du Xun stole before have already exceeded a thousand gold, and the treasures stolen this time are the treasures that the emperor loves, I'm afraid the punishment will be heavier." After Zhong Mu finished speaking, he picked up the teacup and took a sip.
He Yuxiang sighed: "Yes, isn't it good to live freely? If you have to kill yourself, you really don't understand. ”
Li Yi's eyes drooped, and he also picked up the teacup, lifted the tea lid and blew the hot air, and said leisurely, "People's desires are endless, and some people are destined not to be ordinary." ”
He Yuxiang pursed the corners of his lips and said disdainfully: "I have no interest in those money and power, being a martial arts swordsman is my dream since I was a child, I can follow the boss to the rivers and lakes, and appreciate the magnificent and vast world of the Tang Dynasty, I am already content." ”
He Yu was in a reverie in his own world, with a foolish smile on his face.
Lu Rui suddenly spoke, glanced at He Yu and said: "Two months ago, I don't know who it was, when I was selling art on the street with a plate to collect money, I saw that there were not a few copper plates in the plate, so I cried and begged the uncle to reward two more copper plates, and that pitiful appearance made me remember it vividly." ”
"Xiao Ruirui, don't you dismantle my platform, okay." He Yuxiang was so angry that the left side of his face bulged out, forced himself to take a deep breath to ease his emotions, and then said confidently: "Besides, that's our hard-earned money, don't steal or rob, he looks at the joy, it's not too much to give a few more copper plates." ”
Lu Rui shook his head with a faint smile and didn't talk to him anymore.
Zhong Nan Zhongmu heard them say that they were going to be reduced to street performers, and his pupils opened wider and wider.
Zhong Nan raised his hand and closed his chin in surprise, swallowed his saliva, and asked: "Brother Yu Xiang, seeing that you are dressed magnificently, and your words and deeds are far from ordinary people, shouldn't you be the son of a noble family from a famous family, but you are still poor enough to perform on the street?" ”
He Yuxiang squinted his eyes and asked him, "What?" Xiao Nannan, do you look down on the performers? ”
Seeing that He Yuxiang's expression was a little wrong, he realized that he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no, I'm just curious, just ask." ”
He Yuxiang suddenly looked up to the sky and sighed, then shook his head and sighed, "Alas! Do you think it costs nothing to travel the rivers and lakes? Just for accommodation and food, I have to give up two taels of silver, and I have to raise my horse, these are all expenses. ”
Zhong Nan thought about it, but he was very curious, since the expenses were so big and there was no money, what should he do?
Zhong Nan looked at He Yuxiang and asked, "Brother Yuxiang, if you don't have a penny on you, will you be hungry and stay on the streets?" ”
Zhong Nan's words evoked his tragic experience in the past year, He Yuxiang shrugged his shoulders and sobbed a few times, covering his face and wanting to cry: "Alas! It's all the same. ”
Zhong Nan expressed deep sympathy, "Then such words are too miserable, it seems that traveling in the rivers and lakes is not as good as I imagined, I still stay in the villa honestly, at least I don't have to worry about food and clothing, and I don't have to worry about not having a house." ”
He Yu stopped sobbing after hearing this, pretended to wipe the corners of his dry eyes, and retorted: "Although we worry about money every day, it is worth it to see the magnificent scenery of the outside world and feel the different customs and customs." He Yuxiang said excitedly: "This year, we have eaten the delicious Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs in Suzhou, appreciated the strange pine and strange rocks of the Yellow Mountain, when we climbed the Yellow Crane Tower, we couldn't help but sigh, the water of the Yangtze River in the distance is rolling!" ”
Listening to He Yuxiang's generous description, Zhong Mu's heart was moved, he also wanted to experience what it was like to be a street performer, and it must be very interesting to be able to travel all over the world with Brother Li Yi.
He Yuxiang walked up to Zhong Nan, put his arm around his shoulder, stretched out his hand in front of Zhong Nan, and smiled evilly, "Xiao Nannan, for your eldest brother's sake, do you want to support it?" ”
Now he is so blatantly asking for money, who just said that he is not interested in money.
Zhong Nan laughed at him twice, pushed He Yuxiang's hand away, and changed the topic knowingly, "Haha!" Brother Yu Xiang, little brother, shall I invite you to drink? The kind that doesn't get drunk and doesn't go home. ”
"Okay." If you can't get oil and water, you can't drink any wine, He Yuxiang reluctantly agreed.
Zhong Mu was amused by their actions on the side, how could he feel that Brother Yu Xiang was a little shameless.
Seeing that He Yu agreed, Zhong Nan shouted outside the door: "Little Er, add a few more jars of wine." ”
Xiao Er replied with a smile on his face: "Okay, guest officer." ”
It didn't take long for the delicacies to be on the table, He Yuxiang and Zhong Nan ate meat and drank wine, and the two were really able to play together, and the dinner table was so lively.
Zhong Mu looked at them dotingly, if they like to play, let them go.
