Chapter 614 There can be traces of finding the scroll
Zhang Xiaoyan and Mrs. Liu entered the Bai family together with the identity of Qingshui embroidery downstairs, and no one knew their identities except for Steward Bai and Shopkeeper Zhou.
Originally, Zhang Xiaoyan planned to go in by herself, but Mrs. Liu decided to follow her with her, Zhang Xiaoyan thought about it, after all, she was still very unfamiliar with everything in the Bai family, and it was easier to have someone to take care of things.
In order to cooperate with Zhang Xiaoyan, Butler Bai deliberately summoned all the subordinates to the courtyard before dark, he was as indifferent as before, standing in the middle of the subordinates and saying word by word: "These days, the city is not very peaceful, try not to go out after dark, let me stay in the room." If I find out who dares to cause trouble at this time, I will make you regret being the descendant of the Bai family. ”
"Yes!" The subordinates obediently received the order.
Then, he deliberately glanced at Zhang Xiaoyan and Mrs. Liu: "The two of you will live in the east room tonight, don't run around after dark." ”
"Yes!" Zhang Xiaoyan and Mrs. Liu bowed their heads and responded.
Zhang Xiaoyan secretly looked at the east, the innermost courtyard in the east was where her uncle lived, and the outer courtyard was where Zhu Birou once lived.
She believed that after the person left, Butler Bai must have also turned over Zhu Birou's room, and she must have not found anything useful, otherwise, Butler Bai would not have arranged it like this.
After having a plan in mind, he followed his subordinates to the backyard for dinner, and then was arranged into a room on the east side.
It was getting dark, and the two of them sat in the room without saying a word, and they both pricked up their ears and listened quietly to the movement outside. Feeling footsteps approaching, the two immediately rolled over and got on the bed.
"Uncle, we still have to stay here for a few days, it's not comfortable outside." Zhang Xiaoyan changed to a man's voice and spoke.
Mrs. Liu yawned lazily, and said extremely unhappily: "You kid can't stop a little, you are so tired from working during the day, and you still want to go to those places at night to have a good time, old man, my bones are about to fall apart." Sleep, sleep, you should be able to rest after these few days, and the old man will accompany you to have a few drinks. ”
"Words count!" Zhang Xiaoyan finished speaking naughtily, and the quilt closed her eyes.
After a while, there was a steady snoring before the footsteps outside faded away. After the person left, the corners of Zhang Xiaoyan's mouth hooked up a weird smile.
The two did not act immediately, and it was only at midnight that they rolled over and walked out of the room. After going out, Zhang Xiaoyan stopped.
Shrugged his nose and walked quickly towards the courtyard next door with Mrs. Liu. When I arrived at the gate of the courtyard, I came to the door of a house with that special breath.
He took out the prepared incense from his body, poked a hole in the window, and blew the smell of incense into the room. After waiting for a while and making sure that the people inside were asleep, the two looked around the other rooms in the courtyard and found that there was such a person living in this courtyard, obviously, this person's identity should be unusual.
The Bai family does not have a second housekeeper, there should still be a little steward, Zhang Xiaoyan guessed that this person should be the little steward of the Bai family, otherwise, there would not be such treatment.
Since there is no one else, it will be easy to do. Zhang Xiaoyan instructed Mrs. Liu to let the wind go outside, but she swaggered into the house.
The man in the bed had already fallen asleep, and he would not have realized that someone had come in the house, and he was still silent in his dreams because of the incense.
Zhang Xiaoyan didn't waste time, stepped forward and poked a few silver needles into the man's acupoint, the man suddenly opened his eyes, and then sat up.
"Who are you?" Zhang Xiaoyan's deep voice sounded.
"Shendong!" The man said his name.
"What is the purpose of your stay in the Bai family?" Zhang Xiaoyan asked the second question.
"Cooperate with Zhu Birou to get the picture scroll of the Bai family as soon as possible." Shen Dong truthfully told Zhang Xiaoyan what he wanted to know.
"Have you found any traces of the scroll?" Zhang Xiaoyan asked a third important question.
"Nothing has been discovered yet!" Shen Dong obediently replied.
Zhang Xiaoyan frowned, although she knew that this person was a spy, she didn't ask anything useful, which really affected her mood.
A palm slashed on Shen Dong's shoulder, Shen Dong fell asleep again in a groggy state, Zhang Xiaoyan pulled out the silver needle on his body, put the silver needle away, searched his room, and found nothing special, then he left the room and left the courtyard with Mrs. Liu.
Look up at the sky, the moonlight is nice tonight. When I passed by one of the courtyards, I saw the moonlight sprinkled on the white jade pavilion, which looked like a spotless fairy standing in that place.
It's beautiful!
No wonder my uncle liked this pavilion so much.
A thought crossed my mind, and I suddenly thought of the four words that my uncle had written in the palm of his hand: white jade tower.
The scroll can't be hidden in this pavilion, right?
However, this pavilion seems to have moved back and forth several times, Shen Dong and Zhu Birou are not fools, they must know that their uncle cares about this pavilion very much, and it is estimated that they have been eyeing this pavilion for a long time.
She even began to suspect that the reason why Zhu Birou left this place and Shen Dong had not yet evacuated would be related to the White Jade Pavilion. However, just now Shen Dong said that there was no news.
Don't?
No!
Impossible, I checked Shen Dong's internal force just now, and the internal force is very average, and it is impossible to withstand such a high level of hypnosis. Could it be that Shen Dong felt that the White Jade Pavilion was too conspicuous, and he would think that it was just his uncle's trick to deliberately confuse outsiders to make the illusion of liking the White Jade Pavilion.
"Does Miss think there's something wrong with this pavilion?" Mrs. Liu asked in a low voice.
"It's not good to say now, you're watching here, I'll check it." After Zhang Xiaoyan finished speaking, he raised his feet and entered the White Jade Pavilion.
She deliberately slowed her steps, paying attention to the movement under her feet, and after entering the pavilion, she looked up at the pavilion and touched the pillars around her. After careful inspection, she found nothing unusual, and she looked up at the moon in the sky, the moon looked a little round, but it was not at its fullest.
I tilted my head and thought for a while, but I still didn't think of anything useful for a while. Walking out of the pavilion, she jumped onto the pavilion and groped for a while, but found nothing.
"Miss, someone's coming!" Mrs. Liu heard footsteps in the distance.
Zhang Xiaoyan came back to her senses and jumped to the ground alertly, and the two found a place to hide. A short time later, a servant yawned and walked from the nearby courtyard.
"Hey, tonight's moon is so beautiful, but no matter how beautiful it is, it's not as beautiful as the fifteenth moon." The man muttered a few words, touched his stomach and yawned, and lazily left the side yard.
