Chapter 30: Poor Houmen Innocent Girl
The next day, Rong Chang hated Rong Chang hated to get up very early, and patrolled the corners of the courtyard as always. In fact, it's just pretending, if it weren't for other plans, he wouldn't want to be Marquis Zhou's watchdog!
Rong Changhe turned a few corners, and after inspecting some corners, he suddenly felt a slight sound of footsteps behind him, and before he could turn around, the tip of the opponent's sword hit Rong Changhe's abdomen and back, and Rong Changhe rolled forward with a heel and dodged.
Rong Chang hated to see that the person who attacked was actually Lu Qianlu's housekeeper.
"What a hidden master." Rong Chang hated and thought secretly.
Steward Lu didn't say a word, and swung his sword to approach Rong Changhe's vital point, Rong Changhate knew that the other party was testing him, so he hid his foolishness and let him fall to the ground and be injured.
In the end, the sword was on Rong Chang's hateful neck, and Steward Lu naturally wouldn't really do it.
Steward Lu put away the sword and smirked: "I heard that everyone praised Rong Shaoxia's outstanding martial arts, I just saw Rong Shaoxia patrolling and leisure, so I wanted to compete with Rong Shaoxia, and now it seems that Rong Shaoxia is unwilling to show people with real kung fu?" ”
"No, it's true that I didn't have time to react, and my skills are not as good as others." Rong Chang hated and patted the dust behind him. What he said really didn't take it lightly, after all, he had also learned the kung fu of Steward Lu.
Steward Lu was not stupid, he took the opportunity to knock on words, and there were words in his words: "Could it be that Rong Shaoxia slept late last night and was not in good spirits that he was defeated by my men." ”
Rong Chang hated for a moment, and looked at Steward Lu with another eye, he understood the dumb riddles played by Steward Lu, and still pretended to be stupid and said: "I slept very early last night, and it was quite comfortable." ”
I still remember the figure that Steward Lu found outside the window last night, which was actually Rong Changhate. This time, Steward Lu concealed it again.
Why did Lu Qian help Rong Chang hate to hide it? What kind of intentions did Rikuzen have?
Rong Chang was also curious about this question, he stared at the back of Lu Qian's departure, and was even more sure that this person was not as simple as a Houmen housekeeper.
Suddenly, there was a sound of a teacup breaking, Rong Chang leaned close to his ear to listen, it came from the Hou Ye's room, and he heard the scolding:
"It's been so many days, hasn't the eldest lady found it yet?"
A subordinate proposed: "Master Hou, do you want to send someone to the Su family to ask?" The last time she went out of the house, it seemed that she went to find Su Quan..."
Hou Ye was even more angry: "What are you going to the Su family!" ”
Rong Changhe was listening to the corner of the wall, and suddenly saw Zhou Xiyue coming with tea, it seemed that he was going to bring tea to his father. As soon as she walked to the door, she was frightened by the rage inside, and when she turned around, she met Rong Chang's hateful gaze.
"Second Miss, how about bringing tea to Master Hou?" Rong Changhe said hello, "Why don't you let your subordinates do it?" ”
Zhou Xiyue smiled bitterly: "Whoever does it is not all the same, no, it is not a coincidence this morning." ”
Facing a young lady, Rong Changhate was a little speechless, and said smoothly: "Your sister hasn't returned home yet, and the Hou Ye is losing his temper inside." ”
Zhou Xiyue nodded, and returned to the courtyard with Rong Changhe, looking for an opportunity to talk to Rong Changhe, but she couldn't find a suitable topic, so she could only watch the back of Rong Changhe's departure in place, she secretly thought sadly:
"My sister left that day to find Su Gongzi, is my sister really in love with Su Gongzi? If this is the case, my sister must have fulfilled her heart by following her, so what should I do with him? How many days can Rong Shaoxia stay in the house? ”
On the other hand, Rong Chang hated that he didn't know what Zhou Xiyue thought about him, not to mention that he only infiltrated the Hou Ye's Mansion with a mission.
After this morning's incident, Rong Chang hated that he would cause Steward Lu's investigation and was determined to act quickly. That night he sneaked into the study again, remembering that he had rummaged through the beautiful box that had been locked, but he could not find it that night. But it was not for nothing, he dug out several letters from the old gray wooden box, the pen and ink on them had faded twice, and the paper had been eaten by insects, and it seemed that it was already an old letter.
It's as if it's been forgotten somewhere.
The candlelight was faintly bright, and Rong Chang hated to take out one of the letters, which read the words "Hou Ye Zhou's personal enlightenment", and then unfolded it, and a page of beautiful small block calligraphy was exquisite.
Rong Chang's memory seemed to be bombarded, he knew this font, it was exactly the same as the font of the Black Wind Mysterious Man, and the content was written in a few lines:
"Hou Ye, now that the Murong family has disappeared from the rivers and lakes, there is still no news of the whereabouts of the Shentian Stone, I hope Hou Ye will make a decision as soon as possible, and he will definitely help Hou Ye ascend to the throne one day."
There are not many clues, but it is enough to be surprised by Rong Chang's hatred, it turns out that this Hou Ye has a great connection with the mysterious person of the Black Wind! When I look at the signature, there is no signature, only a jet-black mark, like a knife and axe.
Rong Chang hated to open other letters, and also found the letters between Marquis Zhou and King Yan secretly Chen Cang. When I opened them one by one, they were all officials in the court to eradicate dissent, and I couldn't find any letters related to the Murong family.
Tonight was relatively smooth, and he left Marquis Zhou's study unharmed. Rong Chang hated to step down the steps, and suddenly a figure stood in front of her, slowly approaching, and she could see some light flickering in her eyes.
Rong Chang was stunned, she was already in tears.
She walked up to him with tears in her eyes and slowly lifted his veil to verify it, and Rong Changhate realized that she was dressed in a night suit.
"Why is that? How I wish it wasn't your face. I've seen you look through my father's letters, and I don't want to believe that you've led a wolf into the house—" she asked in a low voice, stifled her crying.
"I'm sorry..."Rong Chang said sorry, so low that only he could hear it.
What else to say, Rong Chang was dumbfounded, he didn't know how to explain all this to Zhou Xiyue. However, he admired Zhou Xiyue's calmness, if he were an ordinary person, he would have shouted a thief a long time ago.
The two stared at each other for a long time, neither of them knowing what to do in the next second, or what to say.
Zhou Xiyue wiped away her tears and said: "I didn't expect that Rong Shaoxia, who I admired wholeheartedly, turned out to be an enemy thief, I should have thought that your appearance at my house that night was not some so-called mistake." I think so, what do you have to say? ”
Should Rong Chang hate to explain? Is it necessary to explain? Will she believe what he says?
"I'm not a thief in Miss Zhou's mouth, just because some private matters need to secretly investigate the Hou Ye's mansion, as for the letter you said, with all due respect, it was Ling Zun's ugly deeds."
Zhou Xiyue was surprised: "My father is an important minister of the court promoted by the saint, how can he be ugly as you say?" ”
"I know that the girl is innocent in this Hou Mansion, not everyone is as clean as they seem, if the girl doesn't believe it, you can go to the place where I just turned it to verify."
Zhou Xiyue has always been biased towards Rong Chang's hatred, not to mention that he has never done any evil things since he entered the Hou Ye's Mansion, "If you want me to believe you, then at least tell me who you are?" ”
Rong Chang hated no longer shy away, picked up a stone and sat down, and told her half-truthfully: "I am a disciple of Ningjiazhuang in Baishan, just because my old friend's family was tragically destroyed, I live for a day, and I must find out the truth for him to avenge his hatred..."
"Brother Rong is a man of love, but what does your friend's destruction have to do with my father?"
Rong Chang hated to look at Zhou Xuyue's innocent face, he thought to himself: "Although the girl on Tuesday is a member of the Zhou family, she doesn't know anything about her father's evil deeds, if I talk about her father's unbearableness, the father and daughter will definitely be unhappy because of me." Besides, how should the girl on Tuesday deal with herself in this despicable Hou Mansion? ”
Thinking of this, Rong Chang hated a prevarication: "I'm not sure, I'm just guessing to check it casually, and the clues are always found out." After speaking, he saw the food box next to Zhou Xiyue and said with a smile, "Miss Zhou sent me food again, so I bothered." ”
Zhou Xiyue knew that he intended to change the topic, and also gave himself a step, so that everyone would no longer mention unpleasant things.
"Seeing that you haven't eaten much tonight, I sent you something to eat, it's cold now after a long delay, I'll take it to the kitchen to heat it up."
"It's okay, the food is cold, but the mind is hot." Rong Chang smiled and opened it to eat, and the matter came to an end.
