Chapter 70: A First Glimpse of the Doorway
Wen Liang saw that the two of them seemed to be suddenly disturbed, so he didn't rush to leave, but asked quietly, "Where did that person go?" ”
The scholar was about to raise his hand to a point, but was preempted by the girl.
The girl pointed to the direction in which Cheng Wangshu left and said, "Here."
"Excuse me!" Wen Liang saw that the direction was correct, and he didn't see anything new, so he hurriedly saluted, then climbed onto the roof, and chased after Cheng Wangshu.
That scholar was Xu Zhongyan, and when he saw Wen Liang leaving at this moment, he whispered: "Why did you point him in the real direction?" ”
The girl was naturally a Pleiades, and when she heard Xu Zhongyan say this, she snorted disdainfully: "You can't see it when he can't see it?" If you point out a fake one to him, if it's good, you'll already be taken down by him, if not, maybe he'll be cut down on the spot, and I'll be implicated by your stupidity. ”
"I see, I'm really not as smart as the Lysor girl." Xu Zhongyan said sincerely, and then said, "But you can become a brother......
As soon as Xu Zhongyan spoke, Pleiades suddenly grabbed a cake on the table and shoved it into his mouth.
Xu Zhongyan was caught off guard, and the words that were not spoken were also stuffed back, and just as he stretched out his hand to take out the pastry, he saw more than ten more people jumping over the roof in turn, chasing in the direction where Wen Liang left.
Xu Zhongyan didn't dare to make a sound, chewed the cake with his head over, and swallowed it.
When the surroundings finally quieted down, Xu Zhongyan was choked enough, and quickly found a saliva to drink, and then said: "Fang has just become a brother... Say what? Second Prince, Dead? ”
Cheng Wangshu acted like this, it seemed that he was interfering with the direction of Wenliang's tracking, but in fact, he was trying to confuse the public, just to leave something for the Pleiades to hear.
When Fang Cai came, he only said the situation of Tang Mingyi that he heard from Wen Gu's mouth, and then led Wen Liang to leave in a hurry.
At this time, Pleiades was much calmer than Xu Zhongyan: "It seems that there is something wrong with that aunt Taishou." ”
"And what are we going to do now?" Xu Zhongyan asked again.
"There's nothing to do with you, you're just here for the rest of your life. I'll go and I'll come back. ”
The Pleiades was about to go out, when suddenly there was a knock at the door.
"The inspection department is conducting routine inspections, can anyone be in the hospital?" Someone shouted outside.
Pleiades and Xu Zhongyan glanced at each other, signaling him not to show his flaws, and then opened the door, and saw three patrol guards with swords standing outside.
Seeing that the Pleiades was young, the most advanced soldier softened his tone: "I'm bothered, there are some villains in the city, we are chasing them, the little lady should be more careful, if you see anything suspicious, talk to us, or go directly to the military patrol shop to report it." ”
As he spoke, the other two guards looked inside through the gap between the two of them, and Xu Zhongyan happened to meet their eyes and saluted awkwardly.
"The officials are working hard, and there is no rice at home, so I'll go out and buy some, can I do it?" Pleiades asked softly.
"It's okay to do something, there will be no chaos in the city, just go to the little lady." Narak replied.
After the three of them finished speaking, they still hadn't let go, and Zhu Xing turned back to Xu Zhongyan and said, "Brother, hurry up, delay any longer, and you will come back after dark." ”
Xu Zhongyan was stunned for a moment, and then realized: "Just come, come." ”
The soldiers finally reacted and got out of the way, Xu Zhongyan went to the house and got a cloth bag, and went out with the Pleiades.
When the soldiers saw the two departing, they continued to the next place. They are not as urgent as the secret guards, and they can gossip while running errands.
Fang Cai Xing said rice grain, which caused them to complain.
"The day before yesterday, there was such a scene, so that my father and mother also went to join in the fun, ran several times, bought a hundred catties back, plus the previous one, I have to eat until the spring of next year." A soldier said.
"No, I see that in the future, let's not partner up in the yamen, let's go home and eat." The other answered.
The two of them were gossiping here, but the pawn who called the door just now had been thinking about things, and muttered a sentence in his mouth: "That little lady just now, did you say that there is no rice at home?" ”
"yes, didn't you say you were going to buy rice? We still have to run errands, otherwise I want her not to go to the shop to buy them, but to take them to my house to buy some cheaply. One replied.
"That's not right." The person who called the door immediately stopped, "There are few people in Anningfang, and those who pushed carts to sell grain that day, only the price of Anningfang did not rise high, because everyone in the fang had bought a lot, and the rest could not be sold." ”
The other two also reacted, but they were not as anxious as him: "That's true, maybe it was too expensive to buy at the time." ”
The doorman shook his head and said: "If it's really expensive, it's okay, listen to the officials, the most expensive here is three points more expensive." At that time, it was normal to buy, but it was unusual not to buy. ”
The other two were not perfunctory and asked separately.
"What do you say?" "Let's go and ask the officials about the situation."
Asked the doorman to nod: "Let's act separately, ask the fangguan first, and there is nothing abnormal." If there is anything inappropriate, report it to the inspection first, and then keep an eye on their yard to avoid mistakes. ”
As soon as the word was spoken, the remaining two did not shirk, assigned errands, and acted according to their words.
Here the Pleiades pulled Xu Zhongyan out of Anningfang a long time ago, and found a small road to walk a long way, but found that no one followed, so he went to the main road again, and disappeared into the crowd.
At this time, I didn't lose my house, and I waited for a while, and when I saw that there was really nothing unusual, I talked about it again with Zhixia.
"According to what the eldest lady just said, judging from what Cheng Wangshu did, he should be with Tang Xianyao all the way. But if he really went all the way with Tang Xianyao, then this matter shouldn't be done? ”
Zhixia finally made the eldest lady's words clear.
Wen continued with her words: "So when what is done on the surface really doesn't make sense logically, it can only be because there are other reasons inside. ”
Zhixia nodded as if he didn't understand: "What does the eldest lady think?" ”
"Let's think about it the other way, what if Cheng Wangshu is all the way with Tang Mingyi?"
"Then he also sent Xu Zhongyan to Tongcheng... I understand! Zhixia suddenly realized, and when he saw Wen Gu looking at her with a smile, he boldly said, "Cheng Wangshu brought Xu Zhongyan to send him to death!" ”
"Yes. There is only one explanation. Wen said with satisfaction.
"Then can't we stop pretending to be Tang Xianyao's people? Is there any other way for the eldest lady to make him think that we are Tang Mingyi's people? Zhixia said urgently.
"Whoever we want to pretend to be, we can pretend." Wen said with a smile, "But now it seems that this is not the most important thing at the moment. ”
