Chapter 112: Completely Panicked!
, wonderful no pop-up window for free!
The eunuch rushed in with a group of people from the dining room, tall and short, fat and thin, each with two buckets full of water.
"Your Highness, the minion is here!"
The little eunuch looked like he wanted to invite merit, and ran to the front of the fire with his teeth and claws, and immediately spilled the two buckets in his hand.
The people behind followed suit, and more than 20 buckets of water rushed to pour it down, and then pounced and waited for a while, and the stubborn fire finally spit out the last trace of sparks into black smoke and completely extinguished them.
The guards were blackened with smoke, as if they had just been dug out of the charcoal pile, and the red clothes on their backs were already wet, but they didn't dare to show half of their aggrieved expressions, and they didn't dare to come out in front of Gu Yueze.
Soon, Commander Li also arrived with a subordinate, and he was shocked when he glanced at the smoky peony land.
"Your Highness, this is ......"
"Someone set it on fire." Gu Yueze said coldly.
"Huh?" Commander Li looked at Deputy Commander Zhu resentfully, and when he saw that he was buried in his head, he knew that no one had been caught.
"What are you still doing in a daze, don't search yet!" Commander Li waved his hand to his subordinates, and the guards hurriedly searched inside and outside the wall.
Commander Li stayed where he was and asked about the situation: "Can Your Highness see who it is?" ”
Gu Yueze shook his head.
This matter is indeed mysterious, if you tell the truth what you have just seen, it will inevitably cause panic among the people of the East Palace.
"Little Fuzi, you send Miss Bai back to the banquet first." Gu Yueze commanded the white-faced little eunuch.
"Yes."
Bai Caixuan couldn't let go of his heart, and looked at Gu Yueze faintly.
"You are a white daughter, you know how many people are staring at you at the table. After coming out for a long time, some people will inevitably say that you are deliberately putting on a score. Everything is based on the overall situation, you go back first, and when the palace is dealt with, then you will come. ”
Bai Caixuan nodded reluctantly: "Your Highness be careful." ”
"There are so many guards here to protect His Highness, Miss Bai, you can be relieved." Xiaofuzi bowed and invited his hand. "Miss Bai, please come here."
Bai Caixuan nodded and left, and Gu Yueze ordered the slaves who dared to come to fight the fire in the dining room: "You also go back first, the banquet is not over yet, and the dining room is indispensable." ”
"Yes." Everyone agreed, and half of the people left, leaving only a group of guards to check one by one along the courtyard and outside.
With Gu Yueze watching from the side, the guards' movements were extremely fast and capable.
"There's no one behind the wall."
"There's no one in the courtyard."
"There is no one in the Morning Palace."
Everyone reported the results one by one.
"Your Highness is not good! The side house has been burglarized! ”
Gu Yueze's eyes sank, and he hurriedly walked to the side room.
The door of the side room was half open, and Deputy Commander Zhu and Commander Li were standing at the door, staring at something in the threshold, their faces were extremely shocked.
Seeing this, Gu Yueze's footsteps couldn't help but hurry up a little, and when he walked to the present, he stretched his neck and leaned down towards the threshold.
On the ground lay a copper lock that had been broken into two.
How so?
This bronze lock was made by him on a special trip to the old locksmith in the court.
Two inches up, two inches down, and two inches more on the side. Ren is the sharpest knife in the world, and he will only leave a mark, and if he wants to break such a strong lock, he doesn't know how many days and nights he has to cut in a row.
"Your Highness, do you want your subordinates to go in and investigate?"
"No, you don't." Gu Yueze vetoed it. "Show me the lock."
Everyone knows that Gu Yueze attaches great importance to this partial house, not to mention that the lock is specially built, the windows are also sealed, and there is only one key to the copper lock, which is kept by Gu Yueze himself. On weekdays, when someone is sent in to clean, Gu Yueze personally opens the door and then supervises it personally.
After the cleaning is finished, he has to retreat from the people, play with the treasures alone, and lock the door lock that will be satisfied for a long time.
Now that the house has been stolen, no matter how calm he is on the surface, the guards can see the eagerness in his eyes, but he doesn't like outsiders to enter, so they don't dare to enter.
Deputy Commander Zhu didn't mention the matter of investigation and investigation, so he decisively picked up the broken lock and held it in front of him.
Gu Yueze took it and studied it carefully.
It's strange, although the fracture of the copper lock is not neat, it is extremely lubricated, like nature, and it is still a little hot in the hand.
If someone is so powerful that they cut off the copper locks, it is impossible to chop them off with a single sword.
As long as you cut it many times, the angle of each knife must be deviated, and the fracture will definitely have flaws, and it will not be so smooth.
And where did the scraps of brass go, when the ground was clean?
Commander Li and Deputy Commander Zhu also understood what was wrong, but Gu Yueze didn't speak, so they didn't dare to say much, for fear of saying something that shouldn't be said.
After a short period of silence, Commander Li suddenly pointed to a tunnel at Gu Yueze's feet.
"Your Highness, look here!"
Everyone looked down and saw a few drops of yellow juice left on the ground.
Gu Yueze lifted his gray violet boots and gently crushed them, the juice was obviously solidified on the ground and couldn't be moved. Judging from the quantity, it is the part of the copper lock that is missing.
Everyone gasped.
"This ...... What is this? Deputy Commander Zhu couldn't hold his breath. He associated this with two eerie fires in a row, and the soles of his feet began to feel cold.
Gu Yueze glared at Deputy Commander Zhu in annoyance, but he also felt extremely grotesque in his heart, and after thinking about it for a long time, he didn't have a clue at all.
"Your Highness! The windows in the north and south of the side room have been opened! ”
The guards who were still searching outside shouted urgently.
Gu Yueze led a group of people and hurriedly went around to the side to check.
The window was turned up, and the wooden strip inside had been cut, and this time the break was very neat, as if it had been cut with a knife.
"Your Highness, there is a hole in this window paper, and it is obvious that someone has peeked through the window and then broke out of the window. It's just that this person's knife skills are so good! The force was so great that such a thick strip of wood could be cut with a single sword. Deputy Commander Zhu's face was solemn.
Commander Li stared at the broken wooden strip tightly, and slowly shook his head: "No, it's not a knife, if there is really such a great force to split the wooden strip in two, then why is the window grille not cracked at all?" The window paper was not damaged except for a hole the size of an index finger. ”
Commander Li saw it, and Gu Yueze naturally saw it.
Not only that, but there were black traces on the broken edge of the wooden bar, and he reached out suspiciously to wipe it, and sniffed it with a little black foam, which clearly smelled of paste.
Deputy Commander Zhu learned from Gu Yueze's appearance, and also smelled some black foam.
"Burned!"
The crowd was shocked when they heard this.
It's weird.
The wooden strips are all broken, why do you need to burn the broken ones again? And it's a little more even and neat.
The south window is just that, there is only one break on each wooden strip, and the window on the north side is messy, not to mention there are more than a dozen.
How long does it take to burn each fracture?
It's impossible, it's simply not possible.
In addition to one side of the side room sticking to the wall, three sides are within the line of sight of the guards, who can unknowingly break the door lock, enter the side hall, and then cut off the wooden strips silently, and also burn the break to black as if playing, and treat the guards of the East Palace as child's play!
The crowd was so ashamed that they couldn't find a better reason than to deliberately show off his abilities.
But if it's just to show off, will you use such a confusing way?
It's too far-fetched.
The guards pondered the burn for a long time, and then looked at each other for the rest of their lives, thinking of the two fires that had broken out today.
Deputy Commander Zhu said in a trembling voice: "This person, is it possible that he knows what kind of witchcraft?" ”
Gu Yueze, who never believed in any bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods, also paused, he looked at the messy seal, it was too late to study the cause and effect in detail, he only thought about the most important thing in the side room, and immediately turned around and rushed towards the door.
Commander Li knew that no one else in that room could enter, so before Gu Yueze stepped into the door, he cheekily asked behind him: "Your Highness, do you want your subordinates to seal off all the East Palace, so that the thief will not escape." ”
Gu Yueze waved his sleeves impatiently, and said without replying: "A group of waste, after such a long time, you still want to encircle and suppress?" If he has the ability to run in quietly, he has the ability to run away right under your noses. Do you want to surround the East Palace, are there enough guards? Do you want to transfer all the guards at the banquet? At this time, you still want to make a big noise, do you think you are not ashamed enough? ”
"The subordinates don't dare."
"Wait outside, the palace will be counted."
"Yes!"
Commander Li was trained to have a hot pain on his face, and he didn't dare to step forward again.
Gu Yueze grabbed the door and closed the door reflexively.
The large room was immediately darkened, and a smell of stale came to my face.
Gu Yueze does not allow others to enter on weekdays, and the number of cleaning times is less than that of ordinary rooms. The precious treasures are all placed in the cupboard, and even if they are not cleaned for a long time, they will not eat much ash.
But the desktop and floor tiles are different, I haven't set foot in the side hall for half a month, and there is a thin layer of ash on the ground, and Gu Fuwei saw fresh footprints as soon as he lowered his head.
He stretched out his feet and compared, and the footprints were smaller, obviously left by the woman.
Gu Yueze's heart tightened, and he felt even more strange.
Woman?
How can a woman be so good?
Gu Yueze followed that footstep, and the female thief seemed to be searching for something at first, and then went straight in one direction.
Gu Yueze's hanging heart was completely tightened, and this straight footstep mark was exactly going towards the Kun position!
Three steps and two steps, if it weren't for the guards waiting outside the door, lest they hear the noise, he would have run up!
Soon, the woman's shoe prints stopped in front of the most valuable treasure chest.
The shoe prints were a mess in front of the cabinet, and she seemed to have been going around here many times.
Gu Yueze panicked and slowly raised his eyes.
"Boom" is like a five thunder sensation, the cabinet has been wide open, all the drawers are scattered on the desk next to it, the pattern cabinet that should be flat has a big hole, and the bright yellow dragon robe is so naked in front of you.
For the first time, the robe he loved made it difficult for him to sit still.
He clenched his fists and trembled.
No way...... No way...... Only he knew where the dragon robe was hidden. Who would have come in the first time and find this cabinet with unmistakable accuracy, and also cut open the countertop? Moreover, the big hole on the counter has the same burn marks, as if someone has cursed it!
He panicked, completely panicked, and stared at the dragon robe for a long time, only to find that there was still a piece of parchment with words lying in the cabinet.
