Chapter 580: Let It Go
The "Wind and Bone Society" is very mysterious, and there are many people involved with strange whereabouts, and their identities are not bad, with Chen Ying's little people on hand, it is quite difficult to dig them out.
Pei Shu is different.
Most of the people he came into contact with were high-ranking officials, and he himself often walked around in front of the palace, and he intersected with people or things in the palace.
However, she did not say Chen Shao and Xingwei.
After all, this is about her family, and she must be cautious.
"Ah Shu, the eunuch named Zhou Chaogui I asked you to help inquire, have you inquired?" Chen Ying asked.
This is a question that has been in her mind for a long time.
Since she informed Pei Shu of the Wind Bone Society, she asked him for help as soon as possible to investigate this person.
Two years ago, when she first entered the imperial city, Chen Li whispered that "Zhou Chaogui is credible".
And it wasn't until two months ago that Chen Ying was basically sure that Chen Li, Xingwei, Chen Shao, Tang Xiucai, Zhou Chaogui, etc., should all belong to the Fenggu Society.
This mysterious organization existed even before King Kang's uprising, and the relationship between the two sides is not the same way, if not antagonistic.
It is precisely because of this that Pei Shu will be asked by Chen Ying to keep it secret for her.
Hearing Chen Ying's question, Pei Shu said solemnly: "This matter is more difficult to investigate, although I know a lot of palace guards, but it is not easy to ask directly, so I can only inquire side by side." ”
As if he was afraid that Chen Ying would be anxious, he whispered to relief: "Ah Ying, don't worry, I sent Lao He to go, he has always done things steadily, and he has a wide range of people, it is a matter of time before he inquires about the news, and after some time, there will definitely be an echo." ”
Chen Ying also knew that this matter was not in a hurry, once the action was slightly bigger, it might alarm Emperor Yuan Jia, so he was not in a hurry, and persuaded Pei Shu with a smile: "Ah Shu just check slowly, this is a careful job, and you can't rush it." ”
Pei Shu smiled at her, and after thinking about it again, he tried to propose again: "Otherwise, you call the little monkeys back, and I will let my people keep an eye on that Tang Xiucai." It's not that I look down on these little green skins, they are good at making trouble, and the stalking is far away. ”
"You don't have enough manpower, and if you divide it out, it's even more stretched." Chen Ying said gently.
Pei Shu thought about it, and this was the same, so he didn't insist, and nodded honestly: "Listen to Ah Ying." ”
After speaking, he went to wipe the sword again, turned a white cloth towel over and over the sword body, occasionally looked at it in the light, as if tasting the luster and lines on it, and then wiped it carefully, looking focused and serious.
Chen Ying looked at him for a while, and a picture suddenly appeared in his mind:
Mr. Detective wears reading glasses and wipes his pipe with the same dearity as a man wipes a car in the 21st century, or a boy wipes a toy gun.
Throughout the ages, men have been as innocent as ever, no matter how old, high or low IQ, or experienced, they will always have some childish hobbies, or, when faced with their hobbies, they seem childish.
Oh, man.
Chen Ying bent her eyebrows and smiled, picked up the ink pen from the blue and white pen, and planned to continue writing lesson plans.
But before he thought about it, Pei Shu opened his mouth at this time and asked her: "Ah Ying, Mo Zijing said in his confession that the person who intercepted the military supplies was a nobleman in the capital, and there was a big Zhuangzi at home, do you remember this?" ”
Chen Ying's wrist was stunned, and the ink in the inkstone was quickly soaked in Baihao, and spread from the tip of the pen to the center.
"That's exactly what he said." She said, simply put down the pen, and turned her eyes to look at Pei Shu: "Moreover, on this mysterious and noble Zhuangzi, or at home, there is a relatively large piece of water. Or maybe the person bought a private property, such as a mine, a field, or something like a river or lake. ”
In the confession of Guo Yuan, the lord of Xiangshan County, this matter was mentioned.
Although there is no direct evidence that the timid of the two people who Guo Yuan eavesdropped on the conversation is the same person as the "rat generation" that Mo Zijing relayed the snake-eyed man.
However, combined with the information of the two parties, as well as the increasingly shabby assassination methods of King Kang's remnants, Chen Ying believes that under the encirclement and suppression of Emperor Yuan Jia, this group of remnants has been seriously reduced and manpower is scarce. And in this small group of people, the probability of two people with similar attributes appearing at the same time is not high.
On the other hand, what Guo Yuan and the snake-eyed man said are very likely to be the same person, that is, the mysterious noble.
"I think there are not many people in Beijing who are worthy of these rules." Pei Shu said thoughtfully, his hands kept moving, and he mechanically wiped the same place repeatedly.
Chen Ying agreed: "I have similar ideas as you. I also have a feeling that this mysterious noble is likely to be around us, and the key point to find this person is likely to have existed for a long time, but because it is too ordinary, or maybe too hidden, people will always ignore the past. ”
Pei Shumo sat silently, no longer wiping his sword, only holding the white cloth in his palm, unconsciously rubbing it.
The wind carries the raindrops, sweeping in a few drops from the window, the fragrance of osmanthus is fragrant, turning around at the end of the nose, and then dispersing, like a beautiful woman who has just appeared.
After a long time, a deep voice sounded in the room: "Mo Zijing is dead." ”
Chen Ying rolled his eyes and saw Pei Shu bowing his head and looking at his own hands.
The white cloth between his fingers was already crumpled.
He grinned, let go of it, and took his sword in his backhand, slamming it on the ground.
Then, with a sigh.
"I did it myself." He said again.
The sound was still very low, and it was broken by the sound of the rain.
Chen Ying got up, walked up to him and squatted down, looking up at him.
The face in front of him was still as strong as ever, and the sharp eyebrows were slanted upward, as if to pierce something, and the hand on the knee was clenched, and each finger was hard of steel.
Chen Ying stretched out her hand and gently and slowly, breaking the extremely tight fist little by little.
At first, it was a little laborious, but then, the five fingers gradually loosened, and the palm of the hand was completely spread out, and then closed again, and held it firmly together with her hand.
"I called him 'sir' for more than ten years." Pei Shu had no expression on his face, and his voice was the same: "He taught me to read and write, taught me the principles of being a man, taught me how to support a family, how to clean up those disobedient veterans, and taught me how to stand up in front of recruits, how to regulate a group of his own cronies, and he ...... He also taught me how to make purple carrot cakes. ”
His expression and tone were calm, without much nostalgia or regret.
He just cast a glimpse of the long years that passed with such words at such a moment.
Like the scenery passing by the shore, like the clouds flying away under the blue sky.
When it passes, it goes, and then, never to be mentioned.
Pei Shu pulled the corners of his mouth, held Chen Ying's hand and tightened it slightly: "I'm fine, Ah Ying don't worry." ”(https:)
