Chapter 14: Born with a Vision
A heavy rain did not gradually stop until it was about to dawn, and Shen Yan got up early in the morning and stood at the door to stretch.
He suddenly realized that he hadn't seen Zhao Wuwu's shadow for several days since he said goodbye to Qinglou that day, and he said that he would go to Banxianglou to investigate the case the next day, but he was so inexplicably released pigeons!
Shen Yan went to Xiping Mansion for a while, and after asking the officials at the door, he found out that they hadn't seen Zhao Wuwu for several days. After careful consideration, he decided to go to Zhao's house again to find out, but he didn't even get in the door when he got outside.
"Shangshu Mansion does not have an access token and is prohibited from entering. ”
The guard at the door stopped him outside with a word, which made Shen Yan anxious at that time.
He crossed his hands on his waist and said indignantly to the two guards: "I am really a friend of your young master, I don't believe you called him out and we will confront him face to face! Two days ago, we made an appointment to investigate the case, but he himself did not come. If he forgets to tell him, the Nan'an Mansion who owes twenty yuan to him will definitely be able to remember!"
The guard on the right looked him down from top to bottom, still coldly throwing him a word.
"Shangshu Mansion does not have an access token and is prohibited from entering. ”
"Hey...... Forget it, I'm too lazy to bother with you!"
If you continue to be entangled like this, I don't know if you think he is here to ask for money! Shen Yan muttered in his heart, but he was stopped just when he walked around the corner.
"This young master, please stay!"
He turned and saw a man dressed in coarse cloth come up and bow.
"The little one is the subordinate of Shangshu Mansion and the personal servant of our son-in-law Ding Shan, dare to ask you if you are the young master of the Shen family in Nan'an Mansion?"
Shen Yan nodded in response, and his originally frowning brows finally relaxed.
"Finally, there is someone who can recognize me, you quickly explain to the two guards at the door, so that I can go in, I will be regarded as a debt collector!"
Ding Shan looked around, leaned over to Shen Yan's side and whispered, "It's inconvenient to talk here, please come with me here." ”
Shen Yan followed Ding Shan into the alley and stopped under a corner of Shangshu Mansion, he wondered: "Why are the people of your Zhao family all strange, and you still have to run to this corner of the wall to talk about something?"
Ding Shan turned around, bowed to him again, and saluted.
"Please forgive me Young Master Shen, my young master went to the Qinglou a few days ago and was known to the master, and now the mansion has issued an order, and he is not allowed to take a step out of the mansion. But he was so anxious to get up this morning, he specially asked me to find an opportunity to sneak out to find you, and said that you should hurry up and help take him out, but I finally found an excuse to come out, and I saw that Young Master Shen was here!"
Listening to Ding Shan talk about things from beginning to end, Shen Yan realized that Zhao Wuwu was locked up and couldn't get out, but now this doesn't seem to be the point......
"But I can't even get in the door, how can I take him away, is it possible for me to fly in with wings?"
Ding Shan thought about it, but hesitated and didn't know how to speak.
"This is the purpose of bringing you here, from here is the courtyard where our young master lives, and the young master said that you will work lightly, so I think it shouldn't be difficult to bring him out, right?"
When Shen Yan heard this, his eyes instantly widened like a copper bell.
"You just let me go over the wall, and you have to climb over the wall to bring him out, who am I, Snitch? It's not just something that I stole from it, it's your young master...... I might as well steal something and use it as a good way to pay for my twenty dollars, and we'll settle it from now on!"
Ding Shan also felt that this matter was not appropriate, but after all, it was his master's order, and he was helpless.
"Young Master Shen, I'm really sorry! My son-in-law said that the situation is urgent now, so if you can take him out this time, you should owe you a favor, and I will definitely repay him in the future." ”
Shen Yan looked at the high wall and couldn't help but sigh, what was the matter! Although he thought so, he still honestly climbed into the courtyard. According to the approximate location described to him by Ding Shan, he barely groped through the back garden to Zhao Wuwu's residence, but which one of the many rooms here was?
He was thinking about being pulled into the house when he was suddenly pulled into the house.
"Shh
Zhao Wuwu made a quiet gesture, and after watching a team of guards walk by, he got up and took Shen Yan into the study, and took out a note and handed it to him.
"The clue of the real murderer, see you in Banxianglou tomorrow?"
Shen Yan looked at the note and was a little dazed, and asked, "Where did you come from, aren't we just going here to check the clues, why can't it be that they still invite us to the door?"
Zhao Wuwu pointed to an arrow on the table.
"In the middle of last night I heard a noise, and when I got up and opened the door, I saw that the arrow was stuck in my door. So I asked Ding Shan to go out to find you today no matter what, but I didn't expect you to come quite quickly!"
Shen Yan didn't want to admit that he came because he was worried about his safety, so his eyes rolled and he quickly opened the topic.
"Then what are we doing in a daze, let's leave quickly!"
They sneaked past the patrol guards and came to the base of the wall, but they didn't expect such a high wall, Shen Yan turned over and took him out of the courtyard. Zhao Wuwu unconsciously showed an appreciative gaze, he had already begun to regret that he had not been able to learn some martial arts since he was a child.
The two hurried to the front of the Banxiang Building, and Yun Ying was already answering at the door, seeing that she knew they were coming.
"The two sons, please, our landlord has been waiting on the second floor for a long time. ”
Shen Yan This is the first time to go into the place where a woman buys rouge gouache, and the curiosity comes up, and when he sees something fresh, he can't help but want to touch it, which is a great contrast compared to Zhao Wuwu, who is quiet and calm on the side.
"Yun has been waiting for the two of you here for more than a while, Ah Ying, go and bring the brewed tea. ”
Yun Yi got up as he spoke, raised his hand to them and saluted, and invited the two of them to take a seat.
Zhao Wuwu and Shen Yan also politely replied, and as soon as the two sat down, Zhao Wuwu got straight to the point and said: "Since Yun Gongzi invited us to come, he also knows our purpose, so if you have anything to say, you might as well say it clearly." ”
"Haha, I have long heard that the son of the Zhao family is like a god in judging the case, but I didn't expect to act so neatly on weekdays. Since Zhao Gongzi is so frank, then I will make it clear, I want to make a deal with you, you help me get a treasure map, and in exchange I can tell you the whereabouts of the murderer. ”
Zhao Wuwu knew that this Yun Gongzi could invite him generously, and he must not have any kindness.
"How can we believe that you know about the murderer, and how can you believe that we can accomplish this mission?"
Yun Yi took a sip of the tea on the table, and the curvature of the corners of his mouth rose slightly.
"Just by the picture of the beauty you received earlier. ”
Sure enough, as Zhao Wuwu expected, the clue to the previous Xiunu case was given by him, because the style of the arrow was exactly the same as the one at the gate of Nan'an Mansion before.
He was looking down and pondering how to reply, when Shen Yan, who was busy looking around, suddenly looked out the window and exclaimed, "What is that?"
Several people followed his gaze to look out the window, and suddenly a black piece of pressure on the horizon approached this side. They got up and stood by the window, and the people in the street outside stopped to watch the black get closer and closer.
"It's a crow!"
Shen Yan squinted his eyes and looked at it for a long time, and finally saw that it was thousands of crows flying over. They flew overhead like dense clouds, making the entire Shangqiu City dim because of the darkness of the sky!
The pedestrians on the road showed timidity, and some of them quickly ran into the house and closed the door and hid.
An old man selling vegetables on the side of the street couldn't help but sigh when he saw this scene: "This crow in the sky is a bad omen, I'm afraid that there will be a disaster!"
All eyes were focused on the flocks of crows flying overhead, and suddenly a mad beggar in ragged clothes and white hair came out of nowhere, laughing and running through the street, shouting as he ran: "Born with a vision, someone wants to go against the sky, against the way of heaven!" We're going to finish, haha...... We're done!"
