Chapter 26: Secrets
So he went back again, knocked on the door and called her out, and then took him to the sweet potato's room.
Just as they were about to explain, Sweet Potato said that they already knew because they had been eavesdropping outside the door......
Since this is also a matter of time to explain, he returned to the room.
After this episode, Cheng Liu's sleepiness was completely gone, so he could only stand by the window to breathe.
Downstairs is facing the kitchen, and the gang has never rested, still standing there conscientiously and vigilantly.
Cheng Liu's action of opening the window immediately attracted their attention, and they subconsciously looked at it, but after seeing that it was Cheng Liu, they didn't continue to pay attention to it.
The wind was a little cool at night, and after Cheng Liu blew the wind for a while, he planned to close the window, but the window next to him opened at this time.
The veiled fish girl over there suddenly poked out a small head and asked, "It's late at night, and the son hasn't fallen asleep yet. β
Cheng Liu frowned slightly, although this was vague, it was still a very open statement in this era.
Originally, Cheng Liu didn't want to pay attention to her, but he didn't expect this fish girl to keep talking.
"What are you doing in Yingchuan? Visiting relatives or buying officials? Half of the officials in the entire Yingchuan County were bought by my father, and if you want to buy officials, maybe I can take care of them for you. β
"I'm afraid it will take two or three days, all of them will have to take the trail, and in some places the carriage will not be able to pass by, and the time may have to change the horses, can you sit on the back of a horse with fine skin and tender meat?"
"I've told you so much, and I haven't heard a word from you, and I can't sleep anyway, so you can talk to me."
Cheng Liu is full of black lines at this time, she is really a rude and willful little girl.
"You said you were a good-looking girl, why did you have a talking mouth on your face?"
After Cheng Liu finished complaining, he closed the window directly, and really wanted to chat by this window, for fear that it would blow into rheumatoid arthritis.
But after a while, I heard a knock at the door, and the fish girl came out of the room and stood by her door and knocked.
The sweet potatoes in the opposite room had already come out, and Cheng Liu was worried that they were noisy in the corridor, so he had to open the door.
Sweet potato and summer cicada stood on the left and right, obviously trying to bring the fish girl back to the room.
Cheng Liu waved his hand: "You go back to the room first, it's okay here." β
Sweet potatoes were still a little worried, but Cheng Liu was about to get angry, so they had no choice but to go back.
After the sound of the door closing, Cheng Liu asked impatiently, "What do you want to do?" β
"Yo, looking at you like this, could it be that there is really someone hidden here?"
Don't look at her frivolous speech, but between this action and her gestures, there is indeed an indescribable feeling.
It's obviously a sexy voice that seems to be seducing you, but you don't have any crooked thoughts.
Cheng Liu rolled his eyes directly.
"It's not early, you can go back to your room, I'm going to sleep."
After speaking, she was about to close the door, but the fish girl suddenly raised her voice and asked, "Don't you want to ask me what I am doing in Yingchuan?" Perhaps, it has something to do with you. β
Cheng Liu closed the door for a moment, raised his eyes and glanced at her indifferently and asked, "What do you want to say?" β
"I'd like to say, but it's not good to be heard in this hallway, right?"
Cheng Liu had no choice but to pull the door open a little so that she could enter.
After the two entered the house, the fish girl took out a letter directly from her arms, and put it directly on the table without talking nonsense.
Cheng Liu's hand subconsciously wanted to take it, but he couldn't hold back halfway through.
"Girl Yu, we should have never met, and we have never crossed paths, can you still have anything to do with me when you go to Yingchuan?"
The fish girl smiled, poured herself a cup of tea, and replied very leisurely: "How many wineries do you have in Luoyang?" You don't know me, but I know you. Luoyang is very prosperous, I have lived in Luoyang for a long time, and I have been to your wine shop a few times, but I have never seen you. β
Nonsense, there are so many wine shops, and he doesn't know how to doppelgΓ€nger, how can every one have him?
"You will know the contents of this letter after reading it."
Since the sake brewery is mentioned, it must be related to the sake brewery, but how can the sake brewery be connected to Yingchuan County and this fish girl?
With these questions, Cheng Liu opened the envelope.
In fact, there were only a few short lines in it, but after Cheng Liu finished reading it, he was shocked into a cold sweat behind his back.
"There are twelve Luoyang wineries, the Cheng family is superior, and the aged wine is fragrant and covered with osmanthus. The shopkeeper Cheng Liu, entered the palace in the autumn of the sixth year of Guanghe, assassinated Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, and wanted to cover the matter of the wine shop, and then bought the official Danyang County Guard, and set up Wanling County, went to Yingchuan in the autumn of the same year, detoured to Linjiang, and collected the mountain bandit leader Gan Ning into the account. β
Cheng Liu wanted to pretend that nothing happened, but the sweat in his palms had already soaked the letterhead.
"Cheng Gongzi, do you remember that a mysterious person appeared in your county guard's mansion, and that was my spy. Of course, I already know the information above. β
Cheng Liu shook his head slightly: "What is your identity?" If it was just the daughter of a rich man, it would be impossible to know about the affairs of the palace. β
The fish girl smiled: "I definitely don't know about the affairs in the palace, but it is still easy to know your affairs." These charges are enough to put you in prison, right? β
Any one crime is enough to make Cheng Liu die several times, so why go to prison?
Killing Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty and supporting the army to stand on his own, and then thinking of buying officials, isn't this the rhythm of rebellion?
"Fish girl, do you have any evidence for what is written on this?"
Cheng Liu pretended to look at her calmly.
The fish girl got up slightly, and then said: "It doesn't matter if there is evidence or not, I don't need to expose you, because I went to Yingchuan, and the destination is the same as yours, and I also know the person you are looking for." β
Cheng Liu really couldn't sit still this time, if Xu Shu was snatched away, his entire plan would be broken, and it would be difficult to find someone to fill the vacancy in a short time.
"If you know everything, why are you telling me? Why don't you just go there? β
Cheng Liu knew that he couldn't hide it, so he directly mocked.
The fish girl got up and walked to the door, and replied in a leisurely tone: "Remember my name, my name is Yu Youkui, and I am a fish of big fish and small fish." Wait, soon, we'll meet again. β
"Wait!"
Cheng Liu followed, and then asked, "How much else do you know?" β
Yu Youkui looked at him with interest: "You can't hold your breath like this?" You have to ask yourself, how many secrets do you have? β
Cheng Liu only felt that his head was banging, as if a string had been broken.
Yu Youkui, who went out, went downstairs directly, and left the inn with Hu Cong, leaving only the letter quietly on the table.
