This doubt haunted her late into the night.

I was awakened in the middle of the night by a urge to urinate, and there was no gong bucket in the room, so I could only run out of the yard and go to the thatched house behind the yard next door to solve the problem.

Coming back with a comfortable body, she was just about to push the door into the yard, her hand had just been raised, and Qu Xiaomo, who looked at the closed courtyard door in the moonlight, suddenly felt numb in her scalp, and when she came out, the door was not closed and wide open, and it was closed at the moment, so there was only one possibility, someone had come! The people are still waiting for themselves!

Qu Xiaomo didn't dare to enter easily, remembering that there would be guards patrolling this house every night, so he hurriedly left his yard lightly and ran to find it.

Thinking that there must be a lot of guards around the ice cube man's yard, he ran towards his yard, and sure enough, he met Squint with a lantern and a group of people patrolling the night with a lantern in the middle of the road, and when he saw her, he shouted: "Who is ahead." ”

Qu Xiaomo put on his clothes neatly when he went to the thatched house, but his hair was scattered and only tied with a belt, and when he saw Jin Shisan's squinting eyes, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly beckoned to him: "Jin Guard, it's me, it's me, Qu Xiaomo." ”

Jin Thirteen, whose sword was almost out of its sheath, withdrew his ordinary sword when he heard the sound, took the lantern from the hand of the guard on the side, shone it forward, looked at Qu Xiaomo's girly face clearly, and asked suspiciously: "Why are you here so late?" ”

"My yard is in." Qu Xiaomo said anxiously

"Who?" Jin Thirteen frowned and asked in a deep voice

"I don't know, just now I went to the hut, and the door was open when I went out, but when I went back, the door was closed, and it was tightly closed, and I didn't believe that this little breeze at night could blow the wooden door."

Jin 13 twisted his eyebrows, pointed to the two people behind him and ordered, "You two come with me, and the rest continue to patrol the night." ”

After saying that, he waved his hand: "Let's go, go and see." ”

Broke in with a team of people, the light of the lantern illuminated the entire courtyard, Qu Xiaomo stood outside and looked at the darkness inside the house, gently pulled Jin Thirteen's sleeves, frowned and said with some fear: "Jin Guard, someone really came, I lit the lamp before I went out, and I didn't open the window, now... Extinguished! ”

Jin Shisan's brows furrowed even tighter when he heard this, and he took the lead in pushing open the door and carrying the lamp into the house, Qu Xiaomo re-lit the lamp that had been extinguished on the table, and the room suddenly lit up.

When he entered the back room to check that his things had not been turned over, Qu Xiaomo came out and said, "The things are not lost, and the silver is still there." ”

Jin 13 looked at all corners of the room before turning his head and asking her, "Do you have a grudge against anyone on weekdays?" ”

Qu Xiaomo shook his head: "No, it's just that after I went to the big shopkeeper's yard to serve, there were one or two little guys who had a few sour words in front of me." "It's impossible to be jealous that she can serve the master, so touch her house in the middle of the night, but this thing is not missing, and it is not rummaged, I think that people who come here are not asking for money, but like they want to die!

What a grudge! Since she Qu Xiaomo came to this world, she has tried her best to deal with everyone around her, even the ice cube man who showed disgust for her from time to time could not help but greet her with a smile, who is so vicious and wants to kill her!

Jin Shisan's brows tightened even tighter, turned around and pointed to a guard behind him, and said, "You stay here tonight to see the situation." ”

The guard clenched his fists in response, Jin 13 turned his head and patted Qu Xiaomo's shoulder, and said: "You sleep here tonight for the time being, there is him guarding outside, if anyone comes again, it will be fine, I will tell the master about this tomorrow, and I will listen to his instructions when the time comes." ”

Now it can only be like this, although Qu Xiaomo is scared in his heart, there is a person who is guarding outside and his heart is also safer, sending Jin Shisan and another guard away, turning around to see that the one left behind has already flown to the treetops in the courtyard to hide, and he can't see that there is anyone above, Qu Xiaomo turned around and went back to the house, closed the doors and windows and inserted the secret lock.

Lying on the bed and thinking about where she offended someone, who wanted her little girl's life so viciously, she fell asleep in a daze when she thought about it.

Because of the trouble last night, it was already late when I got up the next day, and I hurried to the courtyard of the ice cube man, and when I entered the door, I saw that he was dressed neatly and was having breakfast, and I saw that she only glanced coldly at the door and continued to wrinkle.

Qu Xiaomo knew that he had made a mistake, and after asking him for peace, he took a broom and began to work hard, and when the ice cube man finished breakfast, he packed up the dishes and chopsticks and sent them out, and when he came back, he was gone, thinking that he was going out, so he was a little relieved.

As soon as the work in the courtyard was finished, I saw the old housekeeper come to look for him, and the two sat down at the stone table, and listened to him: "Xiao Mo, I heard that your house entered last night?" ”

Qu Xiaomo hurriedly nodded and said, "Yes, fortunately, the Jin guards came to check and sent someone to guard it, otherwise the little one wouldn't have dared to close his eyes yesterday." ”

The old butler asked, "Do you know who you have offended?" ”

Qu Xiaomo thought for a while and shook his head: "In addition to serving the master on weekdays, I also chatter with a few little guys in my spare time, so I really haven't offended anyone." ”

The old official wrinkled his eyebrows and was silent for a long time before he said, "Then why don't you go to the guest room in the West Courtyard to sleep for a few nights in the next few days, and then come back when the Jin guards catch someone." ”

Qu Xiaomo shook his head and disagreed: "The little one is suspected of being a person from the house, if he moves away, he will definitely know, then it will be difficult to catch, if he sends someone to wait in the yard, the little one guesses that he failed last night, and he will definitely come back in a few days." ”

The old butler touched his beard and said with a smile: "You want to go with the young master, so in that case, I will send a few more guards to guard it." ”

I didn't see anything unusual for five days, and on the evening of the sixth day, Qu Xiaomo had just washed up and closed his clothes and lay down not long after, when he heard three knocks outside the window, which was the secret signal of the guards guarding outside and her, knowing that the little mouse who had been waiting for a few days was coming again, even if he used pillows and quilts to disguise the appearance of an adult, he went under the bed and waited quietly.

After a while, I heard a creaking sound from outside the door, it was the person who opened the secret lock inserted from the inside, and after a while, I heard a soft creak, the door opened, and Qu Xiaomo under the bed clearly saw a black shadow flashing into the house from the outside by the moonlight outside, and then closed the door lightly.

Under the moonlight that penetrated through the window paper, the sharp knife in the hand of the black shadow who was approaching the bed step by step made her heart chill, she covered her mouth to adjust her breathing, and the feet of the black shadow stopped in front of Qu Xiaomo's eyes.

The black shadow next to the bed lifted the quilt with a knife and stabbed it, and found that it was empty, and suddenly felt bad, when even if he wanted to break out of the window, he thought that there were already guards waiting outside, and when he saw it rushing out and raising his legs, he flew away, and the black shadow that had just broken the window was suddenly kicked back into the house, and the guards who had been ambushed outside broke the door and entered, and immediately took down the black shadow that was kicked into a seriously injured lying on the ground.

The lamp was lit, Qu Xiaomo crawled out from under the bed, patted the dust on his body, walked over to look at the person who was pressed to the ground, his figure was a little familiar, he bent down and raised his hand to untie his veil, and was shocked when he saw his true face: "Zheng Ning? How are you. ”

Jin 13 led Jin Yu into the door from outside, and just when he heard this sound, he asked, "Do you know?" ”

Qu Xiaomo looked up, and there was an ice cube man behind him, so he went over to invite An Cai and replied: "A few days ago, we were drinking and chatting together in the yard." That is, the night after he and Hu Yu came to look for her, there were people in her house.

Jin Yu found a chair at the table and sat down, the guards were already kneeling in front of him, and Zheng Ning, who was kicked to the corner of his mouth, raised his eyes and glared at him viciously.

But there was no expression on his face, he still looked cold, ignoring the gaze that seemed to want to eat his bones and blood, and asked flatly, "Who sent you?" ”

Zheng Ning, who was pressed to the ground and kneeling, stared at him but didn't speak, and the coffin-faced Jin Eighteen behind him came out, took out a porcelain bottle from his arms, and a black pill was everywhere from it, raised his hand to pinch his chin and forced him to swallow it, and then Jin Yu waved his hand and asked people to drag him down.

When the person was gone, he turned his head towards Qu Xiaomo, looked him up and down, and said, "Do you know any secrets about him or what did you offend him?" ”

Qu Xiaomo hurriedly waved his hand and shook his head to deny it, Zheng Ning's performance was obviously a grudge against him, okay, she was just an implicated person at most, speaking of being implicated, she remembered what Zheng Ning said that day, and said: "Although I don't have any grudges with him, but after a few glasses of wine that day, Zheng Ning talked about the birthday banquet of the princess of Yongwangfu's mother's family, and asked me if you want to go to the banquet." ”

"The little one felt a little strange at the time, to say that Zheng Ning has been in the mansion for two years, and it should be taboo to inquire about the whereabouts of the master, and Hu Yu, who came with him, has been in the mansion for five years, and he is good friends, and he doesn't know how to persuade him to say such a thing."

When Jin 13 and Jin 18 heard this, they glanced at each other, and saw that Jin 13 had a calm face, and immediately raised their swords and called a few guards to arrest Hu Yu.

Jin Yu leaned back in the chair and looked at Qu Xiaomo, who lowered his head: "Then can you tell me again?" ”

Qu Xiaomo raised his head and smiled twice at him, and said: "Although the little one is from the countryside, he also knows the severity, how dare he reveal the whereabouts of the big shopkeeper, and besides, the little one doesn't know if the big shopkeeper will go to the birthday banquet of Nalao Shizi!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a soft snort, then got up, turned and led the man out of the house.

Qu Xiaomo followed behind him and sent it far to the gate of the courtyard, until he couldn't see it, he closed the door and went back to the house, wiped the sweat on his head with a basin of water and a handkerchief, and then lay back on the bed when it was cooler, thinking that Zheng Ning couldn't detect the whereabouts of the ice cube in her mouth, and in case she revealed that she had the first night of the sneak, but she didn't expect to pounce, and she didn't see anything abnormal after a few days, so she started to commit murder again.

Fang Cai's blade with a cold light was still cold when he thought about it at this time, got up and checked that the dark locks of the doors and windows were all closed, and then he climbed into bed and fell asleep on the thin quilt that had been stabbed.
