Chapter 60: Two Miscellaneous Servants
Still dressed in a white brocade robe, Ye Qinglin seemed to have recoiled a little recently, his cold face and eyes were deeper, and he sat at the stone table in the inner courtyard.
Compared with him, the owner of the village in front of him looked much better, as long as it was not too violent fighting, it was almost impossible to see that he had been injured.
Originally, according to the arrangement of the owner, Ye Qinglin wanted to rush to the place where the owner of the village map pointed out as soon as possible, and find out the origin and whereabouts of the team of people and horses that frequently appeared there.
That day, Ye Qinglin and his subordinates drank a meal of brotherhood wine, and let them rest for a few days, so that they should eat and drink, and enjoy their work.
A few days later, I was going to take a group of people to set off to see the owner, but I found that his injuries recovered very quickly, and I don't know if he used any good medicine, and he would be all well in about ten days and eight days, and the owner also said that Ye Qinglin would live in the imperial capital, and when he recovered, he would be able to get acquainted with him.
Ye Qinglin and his gang stayed in the owner's house, drank tea and played chess with the owner every day, and by the way, he inspected his own property in Wuyou City a few times.
Du Jian and Qin Shuyu hurriedly walked in, first bowed to the owner, and then approached Ye Qinglin and whispered in his ear, Ye Qinglin immediately slapped the stone table and stood up.
"What's wrong with Brother Luo? Do you need help from Brother Fool? The owner of the village looked at Ye Qinglin's expression wrong, and knew that it must be something important.
"Owner, Qinglin has some private matters to go out, the owner is here for a while, if there is a place where the owner needs help, Qinglin will send someone back to ask for help." As soon as Ye Qinglin gave up his hand, he walked out with Du Jian and Qin Shuyu.
The owner of the village is also used to it, this brother has never liked to ask for help, and it is difficult to help him if he wants to.
Jun Shan and a few entourages had already prepared three horses at the door of the house, and as soon as Ye Qinglin and the three of them came out, they immediately got on their horses and left, and Jun Shan's entourage was left behind to wait.
"Where did you find that?" Ye Qinglin stopped at an intersection and asked Du Jian and Qin Shuyu.
"It's on the opposite side of the teahouse, Shuyu and I were drinking tea here early in the morning, and I saw those two people flash into the alley." Du Jian and Qin Shuyu Xiu Mu didn't like to visit the Qinglou, so they had to come to the teahouse to listen to books, enjoy songs, and drink tea, but they found something they didn't expect.
"There are seven or eight alleys in here, do you know where they went?" Ye Qinglin looked into the deep alley and thought deeply.
"This subordinate doesn't know, as soon as he found out, he immediately went back to tell the eldest prince, presumably they haven't come out yet, it's better for the eldest prince to go to the teahouse opposite to sit down and rest first, Shuyu and I are guarding here, and we will not startle the snake." Du Jian is brave and strategic, and he doesn't dare to call too many people for fear of startling people, and if there is chaos, those two people will take advantage of the chaos to escape.
"Well, you guys should be hidden, Ben Gongzi is watching from the other side." Ye Qinglin said that he went to the opposite side, went to the teahouse, and found a window position opposite the intersection to sit down, just in time to see Du Jian and Qin Shuyu over there.
Ye Qinglin drank tea casually in the teahouse, and began to sort out the recent events in his heart, the people in the shadows moved again, this time I don't know what the purpose of those people is, he seems to be leisurely in this Wuyou City, but in fact, he sends people out to investigate every day, and it is estimated that he will set off with the owner to that place in the near future, and he has to sweep the people from the imperial capital first to see if the person who is chasing and killing the owner will be this side and the past, but there is no progress, and also, if it can be found so easily, the other party is not a person in the shadows.
And that Yin'er, Youwen's letter came, Yin'er and Ziyu "love each other before and under the moon", she really pretended to be Ziyu in her heart! When I'm with myself, I've never been respectful to myself, always working against myself, top, how comfortable and how to come, I can't surrender her, so I have to be surrendered by her instead, but this is not what she wants? Did she like Ziyu's warm and gentle humble gentleman? If that's the case, as long as she's happy, as long as she's well, she doesn't need to worry about it, she said that she would give her whatever she liked, and now what she likes is Ziyu, then she will honor what she said!
Now the most worried is his son, who was abandoned by his mother within a few months of birth, and now he has become a bargaining chip in the hands of others to deal with himself, who can know the pain in his heart? This is the son that Yin'er gave him, and he is his only flesh and blood, if Yin'er knew, he would definitely kill him, a man who couldn't even protect his own son was indeed not qualified to occupy Yin'er!
Thinking about it, Ye Qinglin drank tea one after another, and suddenly felt that there was a commotion at the intersection of the street, and looked over, it was Du Jian and Qin Shuyu, it seemed that they had been caught!
Ye Qinglin took out the silver and threw it on the table, got up and walked downstairs quickly, and ran towards Du Jian and them.
Walking there, I saw that Du Jian and Qin Shuyu grabbed two people who looked like slaves, and they had already tied their hands with stretched ropes and tied them to the saddle, Ye Qinglin got on the horse, and the three people and three horses dragged two people towards the house of the owner of Xicheng, the speed was so fast that the two minions who were tied up couldn't run, and they were directly dragged all the way down.
Du Jianren was tall and big, and with one in his hand, he threw the two minion-looking people into the open space in the front yard, and the two were not dragged to death, and they were lying on the ground begging for mercy at the moment.
"Say, 'Who sent you, and what is he doing here?' Du Jian is a martial artist, this kind of interrogation is handed over to Qin Shuyu, and Ye Qinglin is sitting on the chair next to him and listening!
The people on the ground may have been injured by the horses, one of them coughed up a mouthful of blood, and the other was startled when he saw this, thinking that he was about to be killed, so he quickly climbed up and knelt and kowtowed to Ye Qinglin, and kowtowed to Qin Shuyu: "Eldest prince, Mr. Qin, we are just running errands, and the old lady sent us, don't kill us!" ”
"Zhen's? What did you send to do? Qin Shuyu asked again.
"This ......" The man kneeling on the ground seemed to dare not say any more.
Du Jian kicked the man's back, ready to kick again, Qin Shuyu hurriedly shouted to stop, just Du Jian's kick, if he kicked again, he might be kicked to death.
"Brother Du, don't kick to death here, let them drag them out of the city and kick them again, don't use knives, keep kicking until you die!" Qin Shuyu gave Du Jian a look.
Du Jian nodded: "Why let them drag it, Lao Tzu can raise the city with one in one hand." ”
"I say! I say I say! "The kneeling person was completely stunned, he and the one lying down were just the miscellaneous servants of the grange, and they received five taels of silver from the housekeeper of the Ye Mansion, and then came to the imperial capital to send a letter, but they didn't expect to be recognized by the entourage of Ye Qinglin, the eldest son of the Ye Mansion, Du Jian has been in the Ye Mansion for many years, and his eyes are sharp-eyed, and he is in his hands, it is his bad luck, no one expected that the eldest prince would be in the imperial capital!
"Hurry!" Qin Shuyu saw that the guy was hesitating about something, and felt that he must be holding back the ghost in his heart.
"The housekeeper Laifu gave us a letter and asked me to bring it to an old man in the imperial capital." The kneeling handyman said while bowing to Qin Shuyu.
"What is in the letter?"
"We don't know how to read, and the letter is sealed with wax, and the little ones don't know the content."
"Where did it go?"
"It's a house in the alley where we were caught by adults."
"Have you been here before?"
"Nope!"
"How did you find the alley and the house?"
"The butler gave us a picture of his own drawing, with the route on it." The Grange handyman took out a crumpled piece of paper from his bosom and handed it over.
Qin Shuyu took the paper and presented it to Ye Qinglin, Ye Qinglin glanced at it, and said with a stern face: "Go!" ”
Qin Shuyu and Du Jian immediately followed, and when they went out of the gate, Jun Shan in the courtyard immediately came over with his entourage and tied up the two people and dragged them into the stable and threw them there, leaving it alone!
Ye Qinglin took Du Jian and Qin Shuyu to the alley at the entrance of the street, and according to the drawings collected from the Grange handyman, he searched all the way in.
The houses here are all private houses, the alleys are not big, and it is no problem to lead the horses over, but if there are people and horses in front of them to meet each other, it is difficult to pass, and you have to stick to the wall to barely squeeze in.
Du Jian had no choice but to leave the three horses tied at the entrance of the street, and several people went inside to find them one by one.
The pictures on the paper are twisted and crooked, and it is difficult to understand without any hints, whether it is a ghost drawing or a human drawing, Ye Qinglin finally figured out the route above, led Qin Shuyu and Du Jian to find it along this route, and stopped in front of an inconspicuous house.
Ye Qinglin stepped forward and knocked on the door, but no one came to open it for a long time, and gave Du Jian a look, Du Jian immediately jumped on the wall flexibly, climbed in, opened the door from the inside, and Ye Qinglin and Qin Shuyu followed.
The yard is very small, it is still very dilapidated, it seems that there is no one quietly, but judging from the lack of fallen leaves on the ground, it should be someone who cleans and lives, and when he enters the house, the light is not good, it is a little dark, and it takes a long time for his eyes to adapt, and he sees that there are beds, tables, and chairs, Qin Shuyu and Du Jian went to another room to investigate, it seems that the utensils here are very complete, there are pots and pans, Qin Shuyu also touched the stove, warmed, uncovered the pot, and there was still some food left in it, it stands to reason that there should be someone here, and the three of them came in to search until now, I didn't see the master here, could it be that when I caught those two miscellaneous servants before, I ran away after receiving the news?
No, the two handymen who were caught were at the corner of the street, far away from this deep alley house, so that they could not be heard, so it could only be that the master had gone out, and maybe they would come back later.
Qin Shuyu replied to Ye Qinglin that the stove was warm, and Ye Qinglin also felt that there might be people still there, but they were not at home now, so he waved his hand to let Du Jian and Qin Shuyu hide, and he also hid in the dark inside.
