Chapter 431: Saving People (1)
Cui Ai has a thin figure, although her face is good, she is a little bloody, and the swaying tassels with her sideburns hanging down on her thin shoulders are even more framing her eyebrows and eyes, which makes people feel pity. Her slightly hesitant appearance makes people feel extremely weak.
Cui Rongzhi saw that she wanted to speak and stopped, and couldn't help asking, "What does Xiao Ai have to say?" ”
Cui Ai said cautiously: "Fourth uncle, I don't know how the seventh uncle's illness is?" Couldn't he come back when his grandmother was gone? Before, my grandmother also said that she had something that she had brought from the family before, and she must be buried with her. The seventh uncle knew about this matter, if he couldn't come back, he would ask the fourth uncle to ask, so as not to leave his grandmother with regrets. ”
"Is there such a thing?" Cui Rongzhi's eyes lit up, and then he was filled with hatred, his mother actually told Lao Qi where the old things and family assets were hidden, but she didn't tell him!
Cui Ai looked at the fourth uncle's expression carefully, and became more and more sarcastic in her heart, thinking that Miss Gongsun's method was really good, and before she mentioned a word, Cui Rongzhi was fooled. "Yes, Fourth Uncle, however, my niece only knows that there is such a thing, and I don't know the specifics. I can only bother the fourth uncle to go to the place where the seventh uncle is recuperating to ask what is going on, so that this matter can be done before the grandmother's burial. ”
Cui Rongzhi knew the news, and he couldn't wait to fly to Lao Qi immediately to ask for an understanding, where was Cui Ai's urging, and even the grievances suffered by Liu and Cui Mo were immediately left behind, and said: "Xiao Ai is right, this matter cannot be delayed, and the fourth uncle must handle this matter as soon as possible." ”
Cui Ai nodded, and suddenly his body softened, leaning on Yuexi.
Cui Rongzhi was about to send her away, so he said: "You are weak, you look dizzy, and you can't do your filial piety to your grandmother here, hurry back and rest for a while, don't get sick, come back when you get better." ”
Cui Ai bowed and retreated, and returned to the Pillow Xia Pavilion.
Gongsun Lan was waiting for her inside, and when she saw her come back, she asked, "How is it?" ”
"Sure enough, as soon as the fourth uncle heard that the seventh uncle might know the hiding place of those family assets, he immediately agreed." Cui Ai walked to Gongsun Lan and sat down, and said, "Miss Gongsun, although it is said that you are trying to save your brother, I also want to thank you, if it were not for you, I would have been able to hide today, and I would not have been able to hide tomorrow." Miss Fang Cai Yuexi also saw it, my fourth aunt and second sister's disgust for me was engraved in my bones, and I didn't succeed this time, and I don't know how to deal with me in the future. ”
Gongsun Lan shook his head and said, "Yan Hong is our common enemy. So why shouldn't we be friends? But with a gesture, Miss Cui doesn't have to take it to heart. ”
Cui Ai had just lost his closest grandmother, and he hated Yan Hong very much, and said: "My cousin, I'm afraid he didn't treat us as relatives at all, and for his own selfishness, he tossed the good Shenyin Mountain Villa like this." In his eyes, we are just tools. ”
"Don't worry, Yan Hong will never appear in front of you again in his life, he has reached a dead end."
"Really?" Cui Ai looked at Gongsun Lan in surprise, a little incredulous.
"According to what you said, Yan Hong's daily contact with the villa should be secretly in contact with Cui Rongzhi's people, and we have already controlled Yan Hong and Cui Rongzhi's informants in Yasukuni."
"Creation makes people, grandmother only needs to stay up for a few more days, and all this will pass......" Cui Ai's eyes instantly turned red, tears swirled in her eyes, she was already weak, and now she looks even weaker, sick.
Gongsun Lan couldn't help asking, "Is your body sick in the womb?" ”
Cui Ai suffered a lot of tossing in her mother's womb before she was born, and she was born a little weaker than an ordinary child. "When my mother was pregnant with me, she was in the middle of the family turmoil, so she was not very stable, and my grandmother worked hard to keep my mother and me, and she expected me to be a man, but unfortunately ......"
"But your grandmother still pampers you in the palm of her hand."
Cui Ai pursed her lips and nodded, thinking of her grandmother's heart. Gongsun Lan took out a bottle of Nourishing Pill from his arms and said, "This is a pill made by a friend of mine, which is very good for the body, so I will leave it to you." ”
Cui Ai was willing to answer, and excused himself again and again: "You have already helped me a lot, how can you take your things for nothing." ”
Gongsun Lan stuffed it into her hand with a smile and said, "What are you doing so politely, let's get acquainted once, I can't watch you be so weak." Besides, it's not a great treasure, although this pill is good, my friend can still do it again, you just take it. ”
Cui Ai took it and said, "Miss Gongsun, thank you very much." The matter of saving the seventh uncle depends on you. However, you must be careful, there are people secretly cultivated in the villa, although I don't know the specific situation, but it is the work of my grandmother for many years, and it should not be underestimated. ”
"Hmm." If Shenyin Mountain Villa was useless, Yan Hong would not value it so much, and Gongsun Lan naturally understood.
……
In the dead of night, the moon in the sky was half covered and half hidden, and a few people stood faintly outside the wall of Yizhuang in Nanshi Town under the mountain.
Gongsun Lan didn't expect that they followed Cui Rongzhi all the way down the mountain, and they were brought here. Yuexi looked at the dark and long alley, and said with a bitter face: "They really know how to find a place!" ”
Several people were wearing masked towels, their voices sounding muffled, Yuechen frowned and said, "Didn't he go to find Cui Qiye?" ”
Gongsun Lan said: "Probably not, the things he has been thinking about for more than ten years finally have eyebrows, how can he not be in a hurry?" ”
"However, if you think about it carefully, this kind of place is indeed very hidden, and ordinary people will definitely not come here to wander around if they have nothing to do!" Yuexi was stunned in her heart, and watched with disgust as the corners of Cui Rongzhi's clothes disappeared into the alley.
"Let's go."
The location of Yizhuang is located in the most remote place in the northwest corner of Nanshi Town, after all, this place is different from ordinary places, and the alley where they are located at this time is specially going to the gate of Yizhuang. Yuechen gestured and asked the others to disperse around Yizhuang to standby, while he and Yuexi followed Gongsun Lan along Cui Rongzhi's line.
Walking along the alley, I saw four bright white lanterns hanging on the gate of Yizhuang from a distance, with a word written on it, emitting a miserable white light.
Yuexi shuddered involuntarily, "Miss, shall we go to the front door?" ”
Gongsun Lan was speechless: "Do you want to walk in generously? Of course we're going to jump off the wall! "It stands to reason that Yizhuang is manned, but the Cui family is tired here, and this night watchman should be their own. So when Cui Rongzhi comes, it's obviously no problem.
The three of them jumped into the courtyard one after the other, the courtyard was not large, there was a row of five low houses on the west side, and the door hung the same miserable white lantern as the gate of Fangcai. There was nothing in the courtyard except for the extraordinary silence, and not even the grass could be seen, like a dead place where not a single grass was born, and this atmosphere complemented Yizhuang.
"Look, there is still talisman paper on the door, I'm afraid Cui Rongzhi deliberately used this kind of thing to scare people!"
Gongsun Lan and Yuechen were noncommittal when they heard the boring speculation of the moon's breath, reflecting the cold light of the moon, and looked in from the window of one of the rooms. Two neat rows of wooden shelves were placed inside, and there was not a single corpse. Several people checked the other rooms, which were also empty. "Why don't you have a body?"
Yuexi's voice was very soft, and the words seemed to come out with breath, Yuechen felt the warmth she poured, and her cheeks were a little hot, but fortunately, it was dark all around, and no one saw it. "Yizhuang was originally used to park unclaimed nameless corpses, and Nanshi Town is not a big town, where did so many nameless corpses come from. Whoever dies and buries them with a funeral will not send them to Yizhuang. ”
"No wonder there are no two people on duty." Moonbreath breathed a sigh of relief, it's always good to have no corpses. At least you don't have to worry about the cold behind you when you're fumbling around. "That'...... Are we going in now? ”
Yuechen muttered: "This courtyard is not big, just a few rooms. There must be a secret passage...... Which room did Cui Rongzhi enter? ”
Gongsun Lan put Squeak on the ground from his arms and said, "Follow Squeak." ”
"Oh yes, I forgot I had it!"
Squeak was finally free to move, and walked around the courtyard for a long time, as if to make sure that there were no enemies here, before starting to smell and look, and then it stopped at the door of the third room.
Gongsun Lan walked over to look and saw a black mass the size of a fingernail. "What is this?" ”
Gongsun Lan took out a dagger from his boots and picked it up, and said in surprise: "It seems to be ...... Trampled grass leaves......"
"It's not dry yet, maybe it fell from the sole of Cui Rongzhi's shoes."
The three of them glanced at each other and looked into the room. But the third morgue was no different from the others, Yuechen tentatively pushed the door, but did not make the expected squeak, it seemed that there were often people on the doorshaft oiled.
Groping its way into the room, closing the door, Squeak began to explore the new environment again, but after all, it could not directly comprehend the meaning of people, and could not follow orders. "Let's split up."
The three of them groped softly in all directions, swept around and found nothing.
"Could it be that we are mistaken?"
Gongsun Lan didn't know that the furnishings in this room were so simple that they were almost clear at a glance...... She frowned and said, "Maybe the location of the secret door is relatively hidden, let's look for it again." ”
The three of them groped again, but still found no sign of the secret door. Just as they were discussing and going to other rooms to take a look, they heard a slight "click", and the three of them hurriedly hid in the shadows, and saw an irregularly shaped hole in the ground they had stepped on, and a figure slowly walked up from inside, but this figure was not Cui Rongzhi!
