Chapter 651: Someone Committed Suicide
Han Lao tactfully refused Su Qin not to go there, Su Qin naturally understood the meaning, what kind of good person could be locked up in that cave?
However, Su Qin was still more curious, so he was going to go directly to Master Zhou Du to ask for a file, anyway, Han Lao had already promised him that he could see the files about these people.
After chatting a few words, Su Qin left Han Lao's small courtyard, which was rarely visited by people on weekdays, or very few people dared to come, especially those ordinary mausoleum guards.
When Su Qin walked out of the small courtyard, Han Lao said to himself, "What do you think of our young master?"
Although the sun was shining brightly, the cold wind was still cold, but no one responded.
Han Lao continued to mumble to himself: "It seems that you still want to continue the test, I hope you can all choose well in the end, otherwise we old fellows will have to stand on opposite sides of each other at that time, and we will be a little helpless."
Still no one responded, Han Lao smiled and closed his eyes and continued to bask in the sun.
After Su Qin came out, he asked Yun Miaoyunruo to take him to Master Zhoudu, and when Yun Miaoyunruo heard that he was looking for Master Zhoudu, he immediately said, "Young Master, we will take you over, but you go to see Master Zhoudu yourself, we won't go in."
Su Qin said with some amusement, "You are very afraid of Master Zhoudu?"
Yun Miao said cautiously, "Who is not afraid of Master Zhoudu? He is the boss of the guardians of the mausoleum, and if anyone makes a mistake and is caught by Master Zhoudu, then ask for more blessings."
Yun Ruo also said after observing that there were no outsiders nearby: "Inside the ancestral hall, everyone is most afraid of Master Zhoudu, although everyone is also afraid of the dragon's head, but they rarely come into contact with the dragon's head on weekdays, and the dragon's head is very approachable even if he sees everyone, but Master Zhoudu is different, I have to hide every time I meet Master Zhoudu."
Su Qin recalled the appearance of Han Lao when he introduced Master Zhoudu, the iconic bald eagle hooked nose and squinting eyes, it seemed that it was quite scary just from the face, especially the squinting eyes that were stealing the essence light, always observing and looking at others.
With such a look, it's no wonder that Yun Miaoyun is afraid if she sees it.
Soon Yun Miaoyunruo took Su Qin to the courtyard where the guardian of the tomb was located, this courtyard was about a kilometer away from Han Lao's courtyard, and it was also close to the back mountain, but this mountain was relatively steep.
The courtyard where the guardians are located is different from other courtyards, this courtyard looks more like an airtight prison from the outside, and the situation inside is not visible from the outside, giving people the feeling of being eerie.
Yun Miaoyun stopped when she reached the intersection, and said with a smirk: "Young Master, you go in, we won't accompany you."
Su Qin pointed at the two girls and shook his head and smiled bitterly, and then walked quickly to the gate of the courtyard, but was also stopped by the guards at the door.
Before they could speak, Su Qin said bluntly, "Please notify Master Zhoudu, just say that Su Qin has something to find him."
The Su family's mausoleum guards are not stupid, the mausoleum guards who can join the Su family are carefully selected, they know what it means when they hear this name, and it is obviously the Su family who can come to the ancestral hall surnamed Su, although they don't know which side it is, but they didn't hesitate to go in and report.
Su Qin waited at the door for less than three minutes, only to see Zhou Du slowly walk out, still dressed in black, looking at Su Qin and asking in a deep voice, "Why did the young master come to us?"
The supervising mausoleum guards are not welcomed among the Su family's mausoleum guards, after all, they are responsible for patrolling and inspecting, and the other mausoleum guards think they like to have nothing to do?
Therefore, most of the mausoleum keepers are both afraid and helpless about them.
"Master Zhoudu, I have something to do with you." Su Qin said politely.
Zhou Du said softly, "Young Master, please."
Su Qin said casually, "I won't go in and disturb your work."
Su Qin said this, but Zhou Du didn't insist, and asked directly, "I don't know what the young master is looking for me?"
Su Qin turned around and pointed to the cave halfway up the mountain not far away and said bluntly, "I heard that there are a lot of errant mausoleum guards there, so I was curious about this and asked Grandpa Han, and Grandpa Han asked me to ask you for a file."
Su Qin didn't want to say anything, so he directly said that Han Lao asked him to come over, which saved the trouble of going back and forth between the two sides.
Zhou Du's face changed slightly, and he was silent for a moment and said, "I'll let someone take it."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Zhou Du seems to be rarely verbose, speaking more directly, and doing things more directly.
Su Qin didn't expect him to go in and get it without asking anything, and came out again after about ten minutes, but he was holding a large stack of files in his hand, which were obviously files about the people who made mistakes in guarding the tomb in the cave.
Su Qin thought it was just a file bag, but he didn't expect it to be so much.
Zhou Du said in a deep voice, "Young Master, I'll send someone to send you over."
Su Qin smiled and said, "No need, I'll just move back by myself."
After speaking, he shouted, "Yun Miao Yunruo, come and move things."
Yun Miaoyunruo had been hiding at the intersection outside, originally she didn't want to see Master Zhoudu, but Su Qin had already called them, and they could only come out even if they didn't want to.
When they saw Master Zhou, they were like well-behaved students who had seen the dean, and they greeted them resignedly, "Mr. Zhou is good."
In the ancestral hall, ordinary mausoleum keepers call Zhou the chief inspector when they see Zhou.
Zhou Du stared at Yun Miao, Yun Ruo looked at it for a few seconds before handing them the file in his hand, Yun Miao and Yun Ruo didn't dare to look up at Zhou Du at all.
At this time, Zhou Du said lightly, "Young Master, it's okay, you better go to the back mountain, it's not safe."
This is Zhoudu's kind reminder to Su Qin, as for whether Su Qin listens to it or not, it is his business, and he is not qualified to care about this eldest young master of the Su family.
After saying this, Zhou Du nodded and turned around and went back to the courtyard.
Su Qin stared at Zhou Du's back thoughtfully, and sighed lightly, "Go back."
Then he took Yun Miaoyun back to the small courtyard where he lived.
On the way back, Yun Miao muttered, "It's over, Master Zhou Du will definitely think that we took the young master to the back mountain for a walk, and I guess he will settle accounts with us when he turns around."
Yun Ruo also said with a heavy heart: "Young Master, remember to explain to Master Zhoudu, it really wasn't us who took you there."
Su Qin didn't respond to the worries of the two Nizi, he was just thinking about something else.
After meeting Master Zhoudu, he had private contact with the four bigwigs introduced to him by Han Lao, and at the same time, he had almost visited the entire ancestral hall, except for those forbidden places in the back mountains, of course.
First Xiyue and Chu Yuanshan, then Yuanheng, and finally Zhoudu.
Among these people, Yuan Heng is the best contact and the most approachable, Zhou Du is the most difficult to guess, Xiyue is the most scheming, but Chu Yuanshan is the easiest.
As for the next, if Su Qin wants to learn some skills, he may choose Chu Yuanshan first, but it is a little embarrassing to meet Chu Yuanshan now, and it seems that this embarrassment must be alleviated.
In the next two days, Su Qin stayed in the small courtyard and didn't come out much, most of the time was spent following up on the homework that he had left and reviewing other courses to prepare for the final exam after New Year's Day, as for the pile of files, Su Qin stopped after turning over the first file, it was too cumbersome and detailed, and it was more complicated than he thought.
Maybe this is to check the detailed information inside the mausoleum guard, but I don't know if there is such a summary of files, so he doesn't need to go through them one by one.
Early this morning, when Su Qin was about to go to the training ground to find Xiyue or Chu Yuanshan to follow the training, he suddenly heard Yun Miaoyunruo say that a mausoleum keeper committed suicide in the ancestral hall last night, which caused an uproar in the ancestral hall and made Su Qin a little surprised.
