315. Chapter 316
Chen Yin and Chan Yu returned to Beiyuan City again, but this time they seemed to be thieves, for fear of being seen by someone in Tianluo Village or the palace.
"I don't know where Miss Green Bamboo lives in the Green Mansion," the two of them had already arrived on the opposite side of the Green Mansion, and Chen Yin whispered, "There will inevitably be a search when you go in, so you wait here for a while, and then come to pick you up when I find her." β
"So, luckily I came along. Chanyu finally smiled.
"You know?"
"At that time, you went to the rebels to find out the news for the Star Tower, it was me and Yingli who were taken care of by the Green Bamboo Girl in the city. β
"That's-" Chen Yin was suddenly stunned after only saying two words, and then lowered his voice and said, "I'll take you into the mansion, and then you go alone to talk to Luzhu." β
"You're not going in?"
Chen Yin shook his head: "I just met an old man, and I will come back to you in half an hour." β
"Good. Chanyu didn't ask more, just nodded in response.
This is the tacit understanding between the two subtly, Chen Yin is also relieved of Chanyu, took her into the Green Mansion, and followed her guidance to find Luzhu's boudoir.
Chanyu knocked on the door of the green bamboo alone, Chen Yin stood on the roof and watched her enter the house, then turned around and jumped out of the green mansion.
Chen Yin returned to the main entrance of the Green Mansion, stopped in the dark for a while, and then ran towards the alley north of the mansion in a flash.
The alley is narrow and dark, but there are three people standing in such a place where birds don't.
Chen Yin didn't stop, his body changed, he jumped off the roof, and the one who grabbed one of them quickly turned back to the roof.
The man who was arrested didn't react at all, and he didn't even have time to open his mouth before he changed his place to stay.
"Brute. Chen Yin called out his name first.
The man was stunned and panted and looked at Chen Yin, but the light was too dim to see clearly for a while.
"Brute, it's me!"
"Are youβGeneral Wu Yi?"
Hearing this name, Chen Yin almost didn't react.
"Yes," Chen Yin nodded, he didn't have time to reminisce, so he just opened his mouth and asked, "Let me ask you, why are you here?"
"I-"
The brute cow twisted and pinched, and refused to speak out.
"I remember that you were also among the people who kidnapped the Green Mansion before," Chen Yin saw that he didn't want to speak, so he came in and said, "What personal enmity do you have with the Green Mansion?"
"No," the brute bull shook his head, breathed a long sigh of relief, and said, "Don't hide it from the general, I don't know the people in the Green Mansion at all, and I don't know that the general is so familiar with them, if he knew, he wouldn't have agreed to kidnap them in the first placeβ"
"Who did you promise?" Chen Yin quickly asked.
"It's a native of the Central Plains, and he gave us a lot of silver taels at that time, and asked us to kidnap Lu Yuanwai and his daughter-"
"And now?"
"No, since that time, the Central Plains man didn't let us tie up the two of them anymore, but just told us to monitor the situation in the Green Mansion day and night, and report to him at any time-"
"What did you want to spy on the Green House, and what did you report?"
The brute bull looked worriedly at the two companions in the alley below the house.
Chen Yin waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, the two of them can't move for the time being, and they can't hear you and me talking." β
The brute cow breathed a sigh of relief, although he only said one word, but it contained a thousand words: "You." β
"Me?" Chen Yin didn't seem to believe his ears, he searched in his mind for a while, and he really couldn't imagine who was looking for him.
"Ah, since the last time you rescued the Green Mansion and he knew about it, he didn't ask us to use the family members outside the Green Mansion, but let us wait in the Green Mansion every day, and when you appeared again, we went to report to him. β
"Is that person male or female?"
"A man, in the form of a son, who appears to be in an inn in the city every three days, and that is when we go to him," said the bull, counting the days, "and it so happens that he should be in the inn today." β
"So this Central Plains man has always been in the country of Ma Si, so can you take me to meet him?"
"I'm afraid he's not going to be good for General Wu, so for so long, I've been hoping that General Wu won't appear around the Green Mansion-"
Chen Yin didn't listen to what Manniu was saying, he felt that if he didn't figure out this matter today, something would happen to the Luzhu family sooner or later.
"Manniu, if you treat me as a friend, don't ask too much, just take me there," Chen Yin was resolute, "I also promise you that that person will not trouble you in the future." β
Saying that, Chen Yin took out a few ingots of silver from his cuffs and wanted to hand them over to Manniu.
Not only did the barbarian bull confiscate it, but he also became angry instantly: "I, the barbarian bull, have always regarded General Wu as a friend, and the reason why I hesitated to do it to you is really for the sake of your safety, and what does the general mean now?"
"Manniu, I wanted to ask you this question just now, I met the lord of the country before, and I heard that the people who were captured in the rebels, he didn't blame, and they were all rewarded with official awards, why would you take this kind of work," Chen Yin did not take back the silver taels, but stuffed them into Manniu's hands, "It is because I regard you as a friend that I gave you this money, I hope you don't have to do the same things as before in the future." β
"General Wu doesn't know? It's all the officials who are rewarded for the officials, we little minions, either confiscate the army or be dismissed, and it's already a great favor if we don't kill the head, but fortunately, I can get to know a friend like General Wu. "Manniu's life on weekdays is indeed not good, and he has not improved much since he came back from the Baoguo Army, since General Wu is not humiliating him, he also accepted the silver, "General, have you thought about it and are you sure you want to meet that person?"
"The sooner the better. β
Chen Yin's attitude is not up to others.
