Chapter 21: The Secret Letter Arrives

Four days passed in a blink of an eye, and during the day, Qi Yu and the others went to Chang Mansion to monitor Chang Du, and at night they went to Chunfeng Pavilion to take care of the refugees, for fear that something would happen.

There has been nothing abnormal in the past few days, but the number of people entering and leaving the Changfu has suddenly increased, which has greatly reduced their chances of going to the Dark Pavilion.

I haven't slept well for four days, Qi Yu doesn't think there's anything, after all, I've been used to staying on the battlefield for a long time, let alone four days, he can withstand it for another four days.

But Su Jingchen couldn't do it, his tiredness was overflowing, and even his beautiful eyes lost some of their brilliance.

Qi Yu looked at Su Jingchen, who didn't know how many times he had closed his eyes for a meal in front of him, he was amused and distressed, and hurriedly persuaded him to sleep for a while.

Qi Yu coaxed and coaxed, but Su Jingchen's dead duck mouth was stiff and he didn't go, and after grinding for a while, Xu Wei also felt that he couldn't stand it, and he was sure that as long as he slept for half an hour, Qi Yu would come over and wake him up, and then obediently went to bed.

Qi Yu finished cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, walked to the side of the bed and looked at Su Jingchen who was sleeping on the couch, and stretched out his right hand to brush away the broken hair on his forehead.

Su Jingchen's eyes are not big but very divine, and his eyelashes are long and curled, which is an authentic Danfeng eye shape. To say that others have this kind of eyes, they must contain three points of autumn water and four points of charm, but Su Jingchen's eyes are clean and clean, and there is a vague feeling of coldness and alienation, and it seems that he is more gentle and friendly when he closes it at this time.

Qi Yu's fingers began to slide from his forehead across his eyebrows, down his tall nose, and finally stopped on the lip flap of the person in front of him.

Su Jingchen's lips are very thin, but the shape of his lips is extremely beautiful.

Qi Yu looked at his lips and licked his lips, his head getting lower and lower, lower and lower...

Seeing that they were about to touch each other, Su Jingchen suddenly opened his eyes slightly and looked straight at the person in front of him.

The four eyes were paired, Qi Yu's heart seemed to jump to his throat, he stood up and took a few steps back, Su Jingchen asked him in a daze if he could be half an hour, Qi Yu hurriedly shook his head and said no.

Qi Yu looked at Su Jingchen, who had turned over and fallen asleep soundly, put down the heart he was carrying, and exhaled deeply the breath he was holding.

Qi Yu wiped the cold sweat on his head, raised his hand and slapped his head: Qi Daoyi, what are you doing! Crazy you! Playing hooligans doesn't look at the object!

Qi Yu stood on the spot and self-criticized and self-condemned for a while, before he walked to the bed and tucked the quilt for Su Jingchen, turned around and walked out of the Drunken Wind Building.

Just after noon, the sun was hanging high in the air, and Qi Yu thought that it was not appropriate to lie on the roof, so he changed into a set of casual clothes and took advantage of the fact that there were many people in Changfu.

He walked through the courtyard, turned left and right, and came to the door of the study, and looked around against the wall, and after making sure that no one saw it, he slipped into the room.

There was no one in the house, Qi Yu walked to the bookshelf and looked at the books with at least hundreds of volumes, swallowed his saliva, tried for a while, and finally let him find it.

Seeing the secret door slowly flipping, Qi Yu didn't dare to delay and hurriedly entered inside.

"Great," he heard a voice from a person on his left as he stepped in with one foot, and suddenly turned his head to look at the person in front of him, and both of them were startled.

Seeing that the person in front of him was not Chang Du, the man in black hurriedly drew his sword and pointed at Qi Yu.

Qi Yu looked at the long sword that took him straight to the door, his neck tilted to the left, the index finger of his right hand flicked off the blade of the sword, and he raised his leg and kicked the person in front of him back several steps.

While the man in black was staggering, he bent down and drew the dagger on the side of his leg and rushed to the man in black with a single shot, and the dagger flew at a dazzling speed.

Such a close distance limited the speed of the black-clothed man's sword, and in the face of such an attack, he could only barely parry.

The two blades clashed, sparks flew everywhere, and the sharp sound of metal colliding sounded in the ears, making people's gums sour and uncomfortable.

Qi Yu used his internal strength on the dagger, but within a few moves, the blade of the man in black began to gap, and the man gradually retreated.

Qi Yu saw that the man in black was gradually falling, hooked the corners of his mouth, and suddenly kicked his left foot and his right leg bent upward, and his knee smashed straight on his stomach, and he didn't continue to attack after a blow, but stopped and stood in place to look at the man in black on the ground.

The man in black was half-kneeling and holding his stomach and kept retching, Xu was so uncomfortable that he couldn't even swallow the saliva, and it flowed down the corners of his mouth little by little.

Qi Yu looked at him with disgust and asked, "Who are you?" Why are you here? ”

The man in black coughed a few times, and his saliva sprayed straight on Qi Yu's boots, and finally said with a sigh of relief: "Who are you!" ”

Qi Yu frowned and stepped forward and put the dagger against the neck of the man in black: "Chang Du's people? Where is the child now, and where is the evidence of the collusion between Chang Du and Xu Tao hidden? ”

The man in black raised his head and glared at him indignantly: "No comment!" ”

"No, I'll find it myself." Qi Yu raised his right leg and slammed it upward, and the man in black only felt a sharp pain in his jaw, and his eyes went black and he lost consciousness.

Qi Yu rubbed his boots against the man in black, and then walked over him and carefully observed the surroundings:

It's no different from a normal room, except that there are more antique swords.

Qi Yu looked at a pile of documents neatly stacked in the upper left corner of the desk, walked to the side of the desk with steps, picked up the papers and flipped through them carefully one by one, only to find that the records were trivial and useless.

He walked to the cabinet again, opened the cabinet door and looked: the title deed, the silver ticket and a book of Changfu expenses, Qi Yu pouted and said strangely: What are you doing with these things.

But he was afraid that he would miss something, so he sat on the desk with the ledger and flipped through it, which really made him see something:

"On the 17th day of the second month of the imperial calendar, 200,000 taels of silver were put into the warehouse for disaster relief, 400 taels of old granaries were sorted out, 1,000 taels of cages were built, 4,000 taels of underground passages were opened, and 160,000 taels were helped to build the Chunfeng Pavilion, totaling 215,400 taels, and 1,400 taels were spent."

Qi Yu let out an "oh", no wonder the dungeon was surrounded by stones, and the stone gate looked much older than the passage, and he originally thought how could he dig out a stone dungeon in a month, but it turned out to be an abandoned granary.

Qi Yu put his legs on the desk, looking at the ledger while shaking, and didn't find any useful information after flipping through the whole thing, so he got up and prepared to leave.

Maybe it was because he used too much force, the chair was actually brought back by him, Qi Yu's center of gravity was unstable and he was about to fall, and his right foot hurriedly passed under the desk and hooked the edge of the table.

Before he could rejoice, the hook of his right foot suddenly loosened, and a wooden board hit him on the chin violently, and the back of his head fell to the ground with a "bang".

It came so suddenly, he looked at the ceiling a little dazed, and the paper that was originally above the plank flew in the air, falling on his face one by one.

Qi Yu sat up, rubbed his chin and touched the back of his head, picked up the paper on the ground and looked at it, his brain, which was originally confused, suddenly regained consciousness, and two lights popped out of his godless eyes.

Looking at the official seal covered and the seventeen official documents written on the tail, such as "Dong Chuliu, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials", "Fang Tianzhiliu of Dali Temple", "Wu Qifu Liu, the waiter of the Criminal Department", Qi Yu's face bloomed: "Hahaha, what is this called?" There is nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it! Sure enough, as soon as my ninth prince made a move, God was on my side, hahaha. ”

"Oh, hey, eleven big officials, forming a party and protecting each other, it's amazing." Qi Yu put the document into his chest: "You court moths, if you fall into my hands, you will die." ”

Qi Yu was about to leave, when the secret door suddenly reversed, and he quickly hid behind the antique table with a flash.

As soon as Chang Du came in, he found the black-clothed man lying on the ground and the crooked table, and hurriedly ran to the desk and squatted under the table, only to find that all the documents that should have been there were gone.

He ran to the man in black again and shook him awake: "Ador, Ador? Wake up! Wake up! ”

The man in black rubbed his chin, suddenly remembered what had just happened, and hurriedly knelt on the ground: "My lord, someone broke in just now, his martial arts are too high, I am not defeated, so I ......"

"Do you see what that man looks like?"

"It's not from Jinling, and my subordinates don't know me."

Chang Du sat on the ground: "He took the letter, and we're finished." ”

The man in black rolled his eyes: "My lord, the letters are all about refugees, as long as we kill refugees and die without proof, it will not be over, even if the letter reaches Shangjing, no one can convict you without refugees, and besides, the prime minister wants to win you over so much, he will not give up casually." ”

Chang Du clenched the hand of the man in black, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, do it when you are young, and no refugees will be left!" ”

Qi Yu hid behind the table and raised the corners of his mouth: I want to see how you killed all these eight hundred refugees under my nose today.
