Chapter 355: The Tiger Talisman is Lost
There was no sudden sound, and Kong Yu was almost so startled that his subordinates forgot to control their strength. The dog shook his head, broke his body out of Kong Yu's palm, and surrounded him affectionately, sticking out his tongue and licking his fingertips.
For Wuxiao's words, those who know are almost half-convinced, because his mind is sometimes not very clear, and it is inevitable that he will say something that people can't understand, but most of the time Kong Yu can still understand it.
What's more, this matter is very clear, and there is no need to talk nonsense, otherwise the dog would not have had such a big reaction just now.
Stretching out his index finger in front of his mouth to make a silent motion, Kong Yu carefully warned Wu Hao and Zi to keep quiet, and he tiptoed in through the door of the hidden study.
Before leaving the house, the door was properly fastened, but at this time, a gap was clearly opened. Kong Yu shouted in his heart that it was not good, but he was more careful in his actions, and after pushing the door open, he heard a sound that cut through the air.
Kong Yoo dodged the attack sideways, only to see clearly through the moonlight outside that it was a long stick as thick as a fist that attacked him, and the person holding the stick was a panting merchant mountain guest.
"Zigui, what are you going to do here?"
For the old man of the merchant to be patriarchal and elegant, after giving Shang Shanke such a manly name, he didn't bother to give him a daughterly nickname.
In the past, when Kong Yu got along with Shang Shanke, he felt that calling him by his name would inevitably seem too raw, so he took it upon himself to take it upon himself to take it upon himself to take it upon himself to be known between the two.
The word Shanke also refers to the meaning of rhododendron, and Zigui is a synonym for a bird with the same name. Moreover, legend has it that the cuckoo is a loyal bird, and Kong Yoo's name is enough to show his intentions.
This time Kong Yu frowned, and with a call, he pulled Shang Shanke back from his nervous breathing. After she saw that it was Kong Yoo, her hand trembled, and the stick fell to the ground.
"Kong Yoo, Master Kong, you are back."
"What the hell is going on, why are you here?" Kong Yu saw that Shang Shanke's spirit was really tense, and he couldn't continue to ask, so he only helped people up and sent them to the study to sit down, and rushed over without a sigh to light the candles in the room.
By the light of a few candles, Kong Yu found that all the books in the room were well placed in place, and there was no sign of prying in the cabinet drawers, and he couldn't help but feel more and more strange.
"I, I don't really know." Shang Shanke gasped for a few moments, and then remembered to pull her hand out of Kong Yu's palm, she sat upright on the seat, like a lady's posture, but the sadness on her face was fully displayed, and it was difficult to dissipate.
"Today I was thinking of going out for a walk, but when I passed by, I heard a movement." While talking, Kong Yu also sat next to Shang Shanke, quietly listening to her narrate, and only let Wuhao and Gouzi go through to see if there was anything missing.
"I thought it was you at home, or maybe you were naughty with the dog, so I didn't realize something was wrong until I found a dark shadow jumping around on the roof here."
Since Shang Shanke temporarily lived in Kong Yu's mansion with an innocent body, it was inconvenient for her to come out and show up, so as not to cause gossip, and her personality was not so lively, so she would meet someone to steal things today.
"What did he steal?" Kong Yu frowned, he was nervous in his own heart, but he couldn't show it, for fear that it would scare Shang Shanke.
"I can't see clearly, the man is walking too fast. I followed the direction and noticed that the door to the study had obviously been opened. Shang Shanke shook his head, Kong Yu was puzzled and puzzled at the same time.
"The man is gone, why are you still here?"
"IāI know you have a lot of important documents in your study, and if someone comes and steals something else, it will make your situation worse." Shang Shanke was embarrassed to go into too much detail, but this few words were enough for Kong Yu to understand the meaning.
"So, did you stay here for my sake, regardless of the danger?" It's been so long, Shang Shanke has always been cold-spoken when he talks to him, and it's rare to encounter such a warm time today, which makes Kong Yu nostalgic for when he was young.
However, Kong Yu was secretly proud in his heart, how embarrassed was a little girl from Shangshanke, she immediately stood up with a chair. "Since you're a guest here, it's natural to help watch the dots. If you don't have anything else to do here, I'll go back first. ā
After that, Kong Yu really gave up his position as smoothly as possible, and Shang Shanke inevitably looked at it uncomfortably, and finally chose to leave.
Shang Shanke was upset, and disappeared into the night in a few steps. And Kong Yu was willing to let her go, not for revenge, or because the relationship was weak, but because the dog and Wuhao's performance was very wrong.
Shang Shanke is kind enough to be a caretaker here, so that she will not be suspicious of it. Kong Yu's face was slightly gloomy, and he walked over and opened the desk, and the dark compartment in the bottom drawer, the design of the tiger talisman that he had just completed yesterday, was placed here.
But now in the dark grid, except for the empty envelope used to seal, the contents have long been gone.
There are very few people who know that the design drawings have been completed, and the Confucian Mansion is full of old people who have used it for a long time, and it is impossible to leak it, and there is no chance to know about it.
However, Kong Yu chose to hide things quietly just in case, after all, the only flaw of the Kong Mansion is that there are too few guards, and the guards are lax.
Originally, I thought that after such a lively Mid-Autumn Festival today, I would report to Su Yutian tomorrow. But today, almost all the officials went out to see Jiaotai, but they made a fuss.
Kong Yu squeezed the empty envelope tightly with one hand, waved his hand and took the dog down with a stunned expression. This thief was able to come so accurately and so quickly, I am afraid that he planted eyeliner nearby early in the morning.
Moreover, according to his usual habits, after accompanying the emperor to the Scales Bridge, Kong Yu could find a reason to come back early.
However, today, because of the assassination, all the officials had to go through the investigation before they could disperse, so there was a lot of delay. The more Kong Yu thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt, feeling that these two things seemed to be related, but they were not very related.
Li Wensong is the only one who is blatantly worried about the tiger talisman, but such a serious and hasty matter as assassinating the emperor must not be his arrangement.
After thinking about it, the peacock failed to finalize the final conclusion, and the loss of the tiger rune design was not easy to come out and make a big noise. It was already dark outside, so Kong Yu thought about talking to Shi Zhengzhi first, and asking his classmates and old friends for help, at least he wouldn't be alone.
At this moment, there was still about an hour before the curfew, Kong Yu sat in the carriage, thinking that it should be enough to go to the Yushitai for a round trip this time, so he asked the groom to speed up the process, so as not to delay.
Otherwise, he was a court official who violated the curfew, and it was really a joke to say it.
Kong Yoo's carriage was the same as his usual style, with a simple and simple ending, and the carriage and horses were all rewarded by His Majesty at that time and now the Emperor Taishang when he became an official.
It's been in use for at least a few years now, and there are some leaks on the roof of the carriage, but I don't know where the opening is. As for the axles, they are also old, but whenever they are rolled, they "squeak" endlessly.
The old horse was not running very fast, and the sound of the horse's hooves could not be heard, but the wheels of the car shook the sky. Walking in the dark like this sounds strange and scary.
On the other end, Su Jingye came back from the Yushitai, and when he was only halfway there, he suddenly heard such a noise outside, and he immediately laughed, lifted the curtain and stopped the car.
"Stay, stay, the person who comes is Master Kong Yukong, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites."
The old carriage stopped, and when he heard the sound of the axle of "chirp", Kong Yu lifted the curtain and happened to be face to face with Su Jingye. "Lord, how does Lord, how does Lord, know it's me?"
"For example, there is such a peculiar carriage in Lord Kong's house, and the second one can't be found in the capital, so this king is also a bold guess, but I didn't expect that a guess is accurate, and it is really fate."
Su Jingye laughed a few times, and was only then aroused by the sound of his carriage, and just used these few words to make a joke with Kong Yu.
When the words landed, Kong Yu didn't think much that the two horsemen of the Kong family and the palace were embarrassed at the same time.
"Master Kong, where are you going, why haven't you returned home so late, but you have had dinner?"
"Go to find the stone integrity, there are some private things to say, it will be in a moment, and it will not delay the curfew." Kong Yu was talking, looking at the sky again, he was a little worried.
At the same time, the diagonal alley was filled with the sound of sticks reminding the quarter of an hour.
"In this way, I am afraid that there is not enough time." Su Jingye listened with his ears sideways, and replied with a smile, but saw Kong Yu's face solemn and sullen.
"But is there really any trouble, Master Kong might as well talk to this king first?" Su Jingye felt sympathetic for a while, and regretted it after saying more.
But after thinking about it again, enough major events have happened during this time, and Kong Yu is calm there, so it shouldn't matter much. If the parents are short and related to Shangshanke, it doesn't matter if they interject a few words, ask clearly, so that Jiang Liuyu, who is always worried, can rest assured.
"That's fine." Kong Yu lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then readily agreed. Su Jingye has a good relationship with Shi Zhengzhi, and he is a child of the royal family, so he finally has a witness.
After that, Kong Yu got out of the car, Su Jingye pouted, and brought the curtain to make way for him.
