Xiao Yao looked at Gu Yi again.

This time she didn't hide it, Song Wanyue could see it clearly, and thought that she was shocked by Gu Yi's cleverness, so she grabbed her arm and walked in to distract her.

Gu Yi saw it in his eyes, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, and he followed the two into the hall.

Xiao Yao also came back to her senses, and secretly warned herself to be careful in the future, not to expose her relationship with Gu Yi in front of Yue'er.

"Yue'er, what do you mean by that question just now?"

"I think there's a fraud in this."

"Huh?"

Xiao Yao opened her mouth slightly in surprise.

"Sister Xiao thinks about it, if the person who came in was really the housekeeper back then, wouldn't it be better for him to go to the Xu Mansion? Why did you want to throw yourself into this yard? ”

"Maybe it's because there are more people here, it's easy for him to throw into the yard without being discovered."

"Sister Xiao has a little truth in what she said, but think about it, why is he afraid of being discovered? Is it because he is afraid of being killed by Wen Zhong? If that's the case, he can go directly to the Xu Mansion. Although the Xu Mansion is a family of literati, it is more than enough to protect one person. Moreover, as long as he is willing to go to Jingzhao Mansion to testify against Wen Zhong, let alone ten thousand taels, even if he has more silver, his grandmother will give it to him. He didn't go, but threw the note into the courtyard here, there was only one possibility, he wanted to lure me in, in other words, they wanted to take me hostage. ”

Xiao Yao was taken aback, "Absolutely can't go!" ”

"Where is not to be worthy of the other party's calculation? Of course I'm going. ”

"Yue'er ......"

Xiao Yao was a little flustered, grabbed Song Wanyue's hand, and gently persuaded, "You listen to me, don't go, if it is really as you guessed, they must have ambushed a lot of people, in case you ......"

Song Wanyue patted her hand, "Sister Xiao, don't worry, I'll be fine, I'll let Xiao Si send a message to Uncle Shen in a while, and ask him to accompany us on a trip." ”

Xiao Yao was still not at ease, "Otherwise, I will go back to the house and call my father and ask him to accompany you." ”

"No, there are too many people to arouse their suspicions."

Outside the courtyard, a man mixed in the crowd of pastries bought kept staring at the gate of the courtyard, and when he saw that half an hour had passed, and no one had come out, he gave another man in line a look, he turned around and got into a carriage on the side of the road, and quickly walked away.

……

It was getting dark, and there was no queue in front of the pastry shop, so the man closed the door and closed the door panel.

Song Wanyue sent Xiao Yao out, glanced around without a trace, and withdrew her gaze.

Watching Xiao Yao get into the carriage and walk away, he instructed Xiao Si, "You go and tell my father and mother, just say that Gu Yi and I are staying here tonight, let them not worry, and tell my uncle about today's events by the way." ”

Xiao Si should be, led the carriage over, and hurried to Xu's mansion.

He had gone a short distance when a carriage followed, and not far after him.

watched him arrive at the gate of the Xu Mansion, stopped the carriage and walked in.

The carriage waited in the distance, and after waiting for about two quarters of an hour, he saw Xiao Si come out of the mansion and drive the carriage back.

He followed all the way, watching Xiao Si return to Nancheng, he quickly turned the horse's head and quickly disappeared into the distance.

Xiao Si glanced back and parked the carriage.

Song Wanyue and Gu Yi came out of the courtyard and glanced at Xiao Si, Xiao Si nodded slightly, and the two retracted their gaze and got into the carriage.

Xiao Si caught the car and walked slowly towards Beicheng, walking all the way without hurrying or slow, and when he arrived at the agreed place in Beicheng, there was still a quarter of an hour before the time.

Most of the people in the north city are poor, although it will be dark, and there are still many people running on the road to make a living, unlike the south city at this time, there are few people walking on the streets.

Gu Yi got out of the carriage first, turned around and put Song Wanyue next, the two came to the door, Gu Yi reached out and knocked on the door panel that was wobbly and would fall down at any time.

"Come in."

An old voice came from within.

The two of them cautiously pushed the door in, and the courtyard inside was even more dilapidated, with a total of three rooms, two of which had collapsed, and the last one was also tilted, supported by wooden sticks all around, and it was possible to collapse at any time.

The two stood in the courtyard.

Song Wanyue said, "We brought the silver, please come out." ”

"Ahem, cough, cough, ......"

A violent cough sounded in the room, and it stopped after a long time, and the old voice with a heavy wheezing voice came out again, "Both, I'm not in good health and can't get off the kang, so I ask you to come in." ”

"It's not that we don't want to go in, it's that your house is scary, so ......"

Before the words fell, Song Wanyue walked to the window, tore off all the window paper fluttering in the wind, and looked at the old man inside, "We will stand here and listen to you." ”

The old man didn't expect her to make such a move, and after being slightly stunned, he broke out into a violent cough.

The corners of Gu Yi's mouth hooked slightly, walked over and stood beside Song Wanyue, holding one of her hands.

"Get the silver ticket!"

The old man gasped.

Song Wanyue took out a stack of silver tickets, "Eight thousand taels, the rest have a hundred taels, and fifty taels, now you can tell us about the year." ”

The old man stretched out his bony hand, "I'm going to test it." ”

"I'm sorry."

"What do you mean, girl?"

The old man was in a hurry.

"As the saying goes, one hand to pay the money and the other hand to deliver, you haven't said anything yet, you want to check the silver ticket, is it a little eager?"

"How do I know if your silver ticket is real or fake? If you fool me with a fake, I won't even be able to sue the official. ”

Song Wanyue smiled faintly, her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly.

Just when the old man thought that she would give her the silver ticket, he heard her say, "Since neither of us trusts anyone, let's not delay each other's work." ”

The old man's face changed, "What do you mean?" ”

"Literally."

As she spoke, Song Wanyue put away the silver ticket, turned around and walked out, Gu Yi followed her closely.

"Come back, I tell you, I ......"

Bang!

Song Wanyue's eyebrows jumped, and she hurriedly turned around.

There was dust in front of him, and the wall that had just been supported by wooden sticks collapsed, just burying the old man underneath.

Her heart sank sharply.

"Hurry ......"

Before he could say a word, the door of the courtyard next to him was opened, and a man walked out, "What is the sound of this ......?"

Before he finished speaking, he opened his mouth in shock when he saw the collapsed house.

Song Wanyue grabbed Gu Yi's hand and walked quickly to the carriage, before she could get into the carriage, the man came back to his senses, stepped forward to stop them, and shouted at the top of his voice, "Come on, come on, Uncle Zhang was killed!" ”

The people around came out of the house when they heard the sound and surrounded Song Wanyue and the carriage.
