Chapter 7: The thief becomes a cat
The unwilling anger burned more and more vigorously in the hearts of the two flower-aged girls.
Zhou Shumei raised her neck arrogantly, "You do it, if Marquis Zhou's daughter dies here, the murderer will definitely be unable to escape!" ”
Lan Sheng understood what she meant, and knew that the arrogant woman in front of her was the daughter of the Marquis of Zhou, and sure enough, relying on her father's official level, the more she pressed a group of people. Tsing Yi quietly tugged at Lan Shang, and Lan Shang slowly lowered his sword with his eyes open.
Zhou Shumei scoffed when she saw Lan Sheng let go first, and snorted proudly.
The lantern stall owner hurriedly came over to persuade, "Four guest officers, don't be rude, this lantern does not belong to whoever grabs it, but who guesses the anagram on the lantern first." ”
"Lantern riddles are not simple, I have been talented since I was a child, I guessed so many lanterns tonight, which one is difficult to beat me!" Zhou Shumei conceitedly read out the puzzle on the note:
"'In the past, there were no people, and the door saw the seal again', I know, it's the word 'flash'!"
The stall owner shook his head after hearing the riddle, and Su Quan said on the side: "But the word 'latch'? ”
The stall owner shook his head repeatedly, "The craftsmanship of this lotus lantern is the most exquisite, and the mystery will naturally not be so easy." ”
Mu Qingyi watched them meditate and think hard one by one, she didn't want to join in the fun, and when she turned around to leave, the stall owner called and said: "This girl, if you have the answer, you will unveil the lantern, and the girl will reveal it, which means that you have the answer, you might as well tell the mystery in your heart, so that everyone can have fun." ”
"Yes, Tsing Yi, they didn't guess correctly, say your answer to try!" Lan Shang urged.
Mu Qingyi stared at the candlelight in the lotus lamp, and his eyes spit out a word vigorously: "kill"
Before everyone could react, the stall owner clapped his hands and praised: "The girl is wise, she knows it so well, and the riddle is the word 'killing'!" After speaking, he took the lantern from Zhou Shumei's hand and handed it to Mu Qingyi, and Su Quan also clapped his hands and praised.
Zhou Shumei pulled Su Quan's hand, and her makeup couldn't hide her full black lines, "What do you shoot, I see that the eyes of the beautiful woman are straight." It's a big holiday, who can guess such an obscure riddle, and only this kind of fierce and vicious person deserves to guess it. She said and glanced at Mu Qingyi with disdain.
Mu Qingyi sent the lantern to Zhou Shumei, and said in a calm tone: "The girl said that this lantern is unlucky, why do you want to fight with me?" I'll give it to you now, Miss Zhou. ”
Zhou Shumei saw that Mu Qingyi gave up the lantern unconditionally, thinking that her identity had shocked others, and her face began to be proud.
"Do you know what that means? My sister means to throw all the bad luck to you, I wish Miss Zhou a good luck as soon as possible! Lan Shang smiled and left with Tsing Yi.
Zhou Shumei was clumsy, and when she saw that they turned around and walked away, she didn't have time to say a word, so she was so angry that her face was distorted, and she threw the lantern in her hand to the river not far away, and with a pop, the cold water and the night flooded the lanterns.
"Hey, Su Quan, where are you going!"
I don't know what kind of magic path Su Quan chased after to talk, and Zhou Shumei was so angry that she pulled him back.
The noisy and crowded crowd suddenly distracted Su Quan's sight, and Zhou Shumei dragged her feet, and Su Quan didn't give up until she couldn't find Mu Qingyi.
Lan Sheng and Mu Qingyi, two people with martial arts, are naturally easy to get rid of a kid who has no martial arts. Lan Sheng turned around and saw that Su Quan couldn't keep up, so she smiled and asked Tsing Yi, "That man is interesting, he seems to know you very well?" ”
Mu Qingyi said indifferently: "Crazy, how can I know him." ”
"That's just as well." Lan Sheng nodded, "I guess it was love at first sight for you to find a chance to talk." ”
Mu Qingyi glared at Lan Shang: "Do you know what love at first sight is, have you ever loved, Lan Shang, the killer is the most taboo feeling."
Lan Shang stuck out his tongue and didn't refute, and stepped into the inn where he stayed overnight.
It is slightly cool in the middle of the night, and the long street is as quiet as water. The moon is waiting to be full, and the starlight is dotted with ink night.
General Su's Mansion in the West County of the capital. The faint moonlight could not reflect the faded plaque.
Mu Qingyi changed into a night suit and sneaked into the Su Mansion to spy on the origin of the Su Mansion and the Shentian Stone. She sneaked in over the wall and saw a few servants scattered in the corner of the courtyard squatting and napping and keeping vigil, the time and place were favorable, which gave Tsing Yi the opportunity to move freely.
"The plaque of the Su family bears the name of the General's Mansion, and it just has a good name. The general's mansion with great military achievements does not have decent guard handles, which is depressed enough. She thought to herself.
Mu Qingyi wanted to find the Su family's master's sleep, and her consciousness in the dark led her through the quiet path and stepped on the steps of the blue brick platform. At that moment, she had a kind of déjà vu memory in the dazed night, as if she had stepped on this path in her previous life.
Mu Qingyi ignored this idea of past and present lives, and unconsciously arrived at the destination he was looking for. Seeing that the candlelight in the house had just been extinguished, she approached the window railing, and could vaguely hear the male and female inside:
"Master, Quan'er and Miss Zhou went out to visit the lantern festival and haven't returned home yet, just now I asked Su Fu to urge, I don't know what is going on, I'll take a look."
Old General Su hugged his wife, "It's okay, people can't be lost." After speaking, he said with a "hum", and said angrily, "In my opinion, there are no good people in the Zhou family, everyone thinks that Quan'er has fallen in love with Zhou Shumei, but I don't know that Zhou Shumei is not ashamed to come over and stick to our family, in case the two of them are really a little bit of a concubine, don't say that I Su Shouwang doesn't want the daughter of the Hou Ye, even the Hou Ye Zhou can't look down on the down-and-out Su family." ”
"Yes, a few years ago, you fought openly and secretly in the court, if you were an official in the court, the Marquis of Zhou might not know how to target you, it would be really impossible to marry a family, even if the eldest girl Zhou was noisy and married, the Su family really didn't have a prime location to put that big Buddha." Mrs. Su's words were also merciless.
Old General Su turned over, "Quan'er has reached the year of marrying a wife, if it weren't for the accident in the Murong family nine years ago, the marriage contract between his youngest daughter Luluo and Quan'er would not have failed." ”
Mrs. Su talked about old things: "I'm going to forget the Murong family, do you remember that Luluo and Quan'er went to the mountain behind Murong Mansion when they were young, and Quan'er fell off the cliff and was dying, if it wasn't for Luluo who kept holding him desperately, the two children were afraid that they wouldn't be able to wait for us to rescue." For this reason, Quan'er and Luluo's arms were not lightly bruised, and Quan'er also left a long scar. It's a pity that Luluo is still alive, and now she doesn't know how to be slim and generous. ”
Mrs. Su reacted violently when she sighed, and added: "Master, fortunately, his family's enemies are quick to attack, if the murderer knows that the Murong family has a covenant with us, then wouldn't our Su family be implicated?" ”
"Madam, don't talk nonsense!"
…
Mu Qingyi couldn't hear them talk about these trivial things outside the room, so he turned around and sneaked into his study to investigate but found nothing.
She thought to herself, "Could it be that the news of the main palace is wrong, or the Divine Heavenly Stone has reached ten thousand boxes of gold treasures, how can it be easily found." You have to go inside them to find clues. ”
Mu Qingyi was thinking about closing the box in his hand, and there was a sudden light around him, and a sound broke in the air.
"Bold thief, what are you doing!"
Mu Qingyi turned his head and saw the young man at the lantern festival just now, knowing that he was Su Quan in the mouth of the couple just now.
Su Quan definitely couldn't recognize Mu Qingyi, who was dressed in black, and although he was dumbfounded with fright, he quickly closed the door. But as soon as he turned around, he regretted that he was clumsy, why did he lock himself in the same room with the thief? He stretched out his arms and leaned his back against the door:
"Come... Someone, a thief... A thief in the house, a thief in the house! ”
Mu Qingyi was confident that Su Quan's opponent would not be able to defeat her, so she didn't say a word or do anything to him, walked straight to the door with her eyes hooked, pushed him open, opened the bolt and prepared to leave.
"Little thief, you are quite arrogant!" Su Quan said that he grabbed Mu Qingyi's wrist in the past, but Mu Qingyi had already taken precautions, and he didn't give him a chance with a backhand. Su Quan was anxious, and refused to let go when he grabbed her arm obliquely.
The cloth "hissed", and the respective strength of the two ends made Mu Qingyi's hand sleeves crack a big hole, revealing a jade-like arm, but the bright light could not hide the slightly flawed scar.
There is nothing more embarrassing than this, and then there is a great embarrassment, Su Quan's eyes widened when she saw her arms, clutching the broken black cloth of others, "It seems that you are a female thief, and your arms are very beautiful, but some, some white and slightly flawed..."
"Something? You horny bitch! Mu Qingyi cursed and added a slap, and escaped from the Su family smoothly.
Su Quan was stunned in place, he originally wanted to see what the female thief looked like, and when he wanted to chase someone, the family Ding heard the wind and came over, "Young master, where is the little thief?" ”
Su Quan smiled slightly at the place where the thief fled, and everyone was puzzled.
Ah Fu pushed the master who was like a nerd, "Young master, here, where did the thief escape?" ”
Su Quan came back to his senses and couldn't take back his smile, and dispersed everyone: "There is no thief, just a cute and vicious kitten."
"How can there be a cat in the house!" Ah Fu muttered, now it's his turn to be stupid.
