Most people don't like rainy weather, just as most people aren't used to using their left hand. But for some reason, Su Bottle loves those messy weather. The wind in spring, the rain in summer, the thunder in autumn, and the snow in winter are all his loves. He seems to see the sky as a woman, and thinks that she should not be called "Lord Tian", but "Miss Tian".

Sitting in Zhu Tao's small bedroom, listening to the sound of rain outside the window, he was not sleepy, but very energetic. I didn't sleep in the middle of the night, lit an oil lamp with a flame the size of a bean, and played backgammon with Zhu Tao in a dim environment.

Suddenly, I heard the dice clattering in the broken bowl, and suddenly there was the laughter of the little girl. Zhu Tao was very interested because she won three copper coins, but she didn't know that Su Bei deliberately lost to her. Otherwise, at such a time, the little maid who goes to bed early and gets up early will not be able to hold back the sleepiness.

Zhu Tao said that this game of chess was originally for Miss Six, but once she played against the fifth son, and the fifth prince lost the chess and did not give money, so the sixth lady threw the chessboard and left angrily.

The chess pieces fell everywhere, and the maids looked around, but after looking for a long time, there was still one less sunspot. It is worth mentioning that the listless thick-eyed boy I saw at the wedding was the fifth son, Tang Jian.

There was one less sunspot, Wang Jin'er said to go to the carpenter to carve another one, but the young lady said, "As soon as I see chess, I can think of that annoying person", so she didn't want it anymore.

The chessboard was thrown in the corner and became a claw-sharpening board for the little raccoon. The chessboard was scratched by the raccoon and was going to be thrown away as garbage. But Zhu Tao felt that it was a pity to lose it, so she picked it up, put it in her room, and played with Feng Die and them from time to time.

The irascible Sixth Miss can have a cat, which is really a bit unexpected, it seems that she is not only grumpy.

During the play, Zhu Tao told Su Bottle something about the marriage of Miss Six, and mentioned the crown prince Zhao Tian. The more the little girl talked, the more she didn't know the depths, allowing Su Bottle to peek into some secrets.

"I see, no wonder she looks at me horizontally and vertically...... Su Bottle smiled bitterly, and said self-deprecatingly: "With the prince in my heart, how can I look down on me anymore." ”

Zhu Tao pinched her throat and whispered: "But our young lady is not a slutty woman, although she has met the prince a few times, she is all in order." ”

Su Bottle smiled bitterly: "What's the use of talking to me about this?" In a few moments, I'll be out of here. ”

The little girl lowered her head, and a hint of reluctance appeared on her face.

It was already dark at night, and Su Bottle left the maid's room and went outside to breathe. The rain had stopped, but the dark clouds had not completely dispersed, splitting the black and blue sky into pieces. The moon suddenly appeared and disappeared into black clouds. The stone-paved pavement has been freshly washed by the rain, and although it is still a little damp, it does not delay walking.

There was no one around, only to see the guards standing on the high watchtower of the Guogong Mansion with crossbows and horns, and the guards were staring at Su Bottle. Su Bottle beckoned to the guards. A little farther away, he couldn't see the guard's expression clearly, he just stood there blankly, and didn't respond.

When I returned to my house, I found that the rain was leaking and the sheets were wet. should call Zhu Tao to change the bedding, seeing that the lights in the next room have been turned off, Su Bottle will not trouble her, she will do it herself. Before you do it, you should go to the first place to repair the rain leak. Otherwise, it will rain again in the middle of the night, and it will be even more troublesome.

Without taking the ladder, Su Bottle jumped on the wet roof with a light body, the tiles of the hood were rough, so as not to slide down, and stabilized his body a little, climbed to the leakage, and found that some tiles were broken. Su Weiyi frowned.

Although the back cover room is in some disrepair, the tile is not broken out of thin air, and if you look closely at this fracture, it is a new injury, as if it was caused by a heavy impact. But when I looked closely, I didn't find any heavy objects flying.

"Could it be that someone stepped on it?"

Su looked up and looked at the watchtower again, this time closer, and found the guards at the watchtower standing stiffly.

Looks like a dead man.

Finding something wrong, Su Bottle did not make a noise. With his hands and feet, he quickly removed the broken tile and exchanged it with the eaves tile next door. When I returned to the house, I wrote a small note, ran to the second courtyard, knocked on the window of Qinxiang Xiaozhu, and heard a maid in the house ask, "Who?" Su Bottle broke open the window paper, threw the note in, and threw a stone into it.

Su Bottle doesn't plan to get involved in the Tang family's affairs, but it is not Su Bottle's character to see death and not save him. If the guard in charge of the lookout is really dead, it is not a good sign, and perhaps something more important will happen.

After throwing the note into the small building, it was a while before the light came on. It is estimated that Tang Mei, Tang Wan, and Tang Ting's master and slave were frightened by the rude guy who visited late at night.

Later, I heard a series of hurried footsteps, the footsteps mixed with the sound of treading water, it should be a little maid running out quickly to deliver the letter. As for where the letter could be delivered, Su Bottle didn't care.

I knew that the note would cause an uproar and cause the night to be unpeaceful. Not long after, the Great Sima Guards broke into the East Garden, and the fourth son, Tang Kuan, personally led the guards, holding torches, and checked everywhere. And Zhu Tao, who had just fallen asleep, hurriedly put it on and accompanied Su Bottle to see the excitement.

The guard on the watchtower was dead, and the dagger stuck in the back of his heart, bound with wood, stood on it. I heard the doorman say that no one came in, but someone went out. The man was wearing this set of rainproof clothes, and he didn't see his face clearly, but said that the owner of the house was suffering from an emergency and asked him to go out to buy medicine. Tang Kuan was furious and beat the two guards.

Tang Kuan suspected that the death of the lookout soldier was done by the person who went out, so he went door to door to investigate, and found that there was one less eunuch in the house of Tang Gui, the lord of Anle County.

Speaking of being in Anle, it is the sister of Tang Qiong, the Duke of Anguo, and Tang Mei's aunt. And the three gates of the Liang Dynasty, each generation will select a concubine lady to accept the queen mother or queen crown and become the county lord. However, Zhu Tao has never mentioned Tang Gui to Su Bottle, and Su Bottle doesn't know much about it.

When watching the excitement, Zhu Taocai whispered to Su Bottle, and said with a little disgust: The lord of Anle County has been widowed for many years, but he has contracted the disease of flowers and willows.

Such an ugly thing can't be said, and the county lord of Anle is sick, and his face, neck, and hands, which are usually exposed, are covered with ulcers and carbuncles, and he is afraid of being seen. Therefore, Su Bei's gang also failed to enter the county lord's mansion, but just stood outside, waiting for news.

"It is preliminarily concluded that it was the eunuch of the county lord's mansion who did it." It wasn't very long, Tang Kuan walked out with a calm face, and didn't avoid everyone, but announced it to everyone as if he was inviting merit: "I also recognize that eunuch, who has been serving in the palace for many years." It seems that he has done his duty, why do he suddenly want to kill the guards? Zhen Xiuwei and Shi Maosheng, the two of you quickly take someone to the fang gate to have a look, if that person has already left the fang, go and ask Jin Wuwei who is on duty at night. Quick! ”

"Whoa!" The second general was ordered to go out on errands.

Tang Kuan walked out with two hands raised, because he had just seen the miserable appearance of the flower willow on the face of the county lord of Anle, he was a little disgusted and disgusted. As soon as he walked out of the gate of the county lord's mansion, he bent down to get some rainwater from the waterhole and washed his hands. Usually, these pampered sons would never wash their hands like this, but today like this, it seems that they are really frightened by the disease.

Because the matter was very big and everyone knew about it, many people followed Tang Kuan everywhere to watch the excitement. Tang Kuan didn't pay much attention to the existence of Su Bottle. Tang Kuan soon went to the sixth lady's house, walked into the Qinxiang small building, and asked about the source of the note. Of course, Tang Mei couldn't tell the truth, and the fourth son was confused.

The people in Miss Six's courtyard gathered more and more, as if someone had just died here.

But this group of people who watched the excitement seemed to have seen the world, and they were not panicked, and some even said that they were laughing and laughing. Su Bottle took Zhu Tao and watched the excitement in a good mood.

I don't know what Tang Kuan and Tang Mei said in the building, but later I saw Tang Wan, who was wearing a "patchwork brocade jacket", running downstairs and running to the back room. guessing that she might have gone to the backyard to find her uncle, Zhu Tao called out to Tang Wan.

Tang Wan turned around and saw that Su Bottle Zhu Tao was also standing downstairs watching the excitement, Tang Wan smiled bitterly, saluted Su Bottle hastily, didn't say anything, and just took Zhu Tao away.

Miss Six just wanted to find Zhu Tao and ask about her uncle's situation. Zhu Tao said that her uncle had been in the backyard and had not gone anywhere.

It seems that Miss Six also asked some other questions, but Zhu Tao didn't say it to her uncle vaguely. It's just that the chessboard, which has never been seen again.
