Chapter 243 Sharp teeth and forced quibble

This is a half-truth, and people can't find a flaw at all.

Zuo Mao had already set up eyeliner beside Zuo Chengyi, and he also knew that what Su Ying said was true, because during this time, Zuo Chengyi did stay in the barracks, but he returned to the barracks every night after returning home for a while.

Like last night, Zuo Chengyi did come to see Su Ying, and after chatting for a long time, he did leave, and never came to look for her again.

It's just that after Zuo Chengyi stole the secret letter, whether he escaped here and hid, it is not clear whether the eyeliner lost tracking.

Zuo Mao wished that no one knew that he had lost the secret letter, and that he had only said that he had lost valuables when he caught the thief.

Others don't know what he lost, but the woman in front of him ......

Zuo Mao finally noticed Su Ying.

Yi pointed out: "The girl has good means, and she has the ability to make my grandson, who never looks at women right, lose his soul." ”

That's a bit unpleasant.

Su Ying was neither humble nor arrogant: "Zuo Gongzi does not look down on other women, but because he is a humble gentleman and understands the principle of ignoring indecency. The folk girl doesn't have any skills to make people look up, but there are some means to do business, which is in line with Zuo Gongzi's eyes, and the two have cooperated. ”

Zuo Mao couldn't get any benefits on his lips, and he failed to belittle these two people, so he couldn't help but snort coldly.

"Sharp teeth, forcible quibble!"

Su Ying smiled and didn't respond, her mind was all on the group of servants, her eyes occasionally pretended to glance inadvertently, and she quickly withdrew her gaze after a glance.

Thankfully, no one found out about the bedside secret.

The room was turned upside down, and the servants found nothing, all of them were terrified, lest the grandfather of the country blame him.

Several people looked at each other, still intending to end the search and report the truth.

Seeing that they all stepped out of the threshold with one foot, Su Ying also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Sort of, dodged?

As soon as this group of people left, she and Zuo Chengyi could quickly leave from the secret passage.

It's just that Su Ying is still too happy too early.

Without waiting for the servant woman to reply, Zuo Mao's eyes suddenly looked straight in the direction of the head of the bed, as if he had noticed something strange there.

He couldn't care about pretending to protect the honor of his grandson's beloved, so he walked straight in.

Su Ying's heart was pounding, and her heart seemed to be about to jump out of her throat.

She glanced at Steward Lin nervously, and when she saw Steward Lin, who was as calm as her just now, a layer of fine sweat also appeared on her forehead at this time.

Zuo Mao's eyes were sharp, pointing to the mattress that Su Ying hadn't had time to make neatly, and turned his head and asked, "This bed has been moved, why is the mattress so messy?" ”

Just now, the servants only turned over the bedding on it, but they didn't expect to lift the thin layer of mattresses that couldn't hide people.

Zuo Mao has been staring at it from beginning to end, and he remembers it clearly.

Su Ying stepped forward and replied.

"I was frightened by the movement in the courtyard just now, and when I got up, I was so nervous that I messed up the mattress. Let Grandpa Guo smile. ”

"Are you nervous?" Zuo Mao obviously didn't believe it, "Since you opened the door, I haven't seen you nervous." ”

Su Ying bowed her head and remained silent.

Zuo Mao only knew that the mattress was slightly abnormal, but he didn't know if there was really a ghost in it.

He didn't count on the uninformed servants anymore, so he immediately got into bed and tried to find the mechanism.

As Zuo Mao's hand got closer and closer to the pattern, Su Ying and Steward Lin's hearts became more and more depressed. The moment Zuo Mao's hand covered the mechanism, the two immediately clenched their fists involuntarily.

At this critical moment, there was a sudden 'bang' on the roof, and a tile fell down. Then there was a black shadow, panicked and fled.

"Catch him!" Zuo Mao hurriedly went out and personally led people to arrest people, "Don't let the thieves escape." ”

"Xiao Ran-" Su Ying's tears slid down her face uncontrollably.

The housekeeper hurriedly pulled Su Ying into the house.

"Xiao Ran deliberately lured people away and gave Gongzi a chance to escape, Miss Su, don't feel sorry for her, this is her life. I wish she could have been around a little longer. ”

Listening to the housekeeper's words, Su Ying understood that Xiao Ran could only delay as much time as possible to give Zuo Chengyi a chance to escape, and she herself could not be lucky enough to escape.

If Zuo Mao found out that he had caught the wrong person, he would be angry and embarrassed, and Xiao Ran would not have survived at all.

In the past few days, because of Xiao Ran's thoughtful and meticulous care, Su Ying has long been grateful to her.

She endured her sadness, didn't dare to delay for a moment, and released Zuo Chengyi.

The three of them walked towards the entrance to the secret passage.

The secret passage was secretly dug by Zuo Chengyi before, and after digging it, he didn't even have time to tell Zuo Mao that Zuo Mao might be related to the tragedy of the Xiao family.

So he kept the secret passage a secret.

At this moment, it finally came in handy.

"Come with me." Only Zuo Chengyi himself knew the mechanism of the secret passage and the situation inside, so he could only lead the way in front, and before entering, he also told the two: "The secret passage is narrow, only one person is allowed to pass through with a cat's waist, you follow me, be careful and slow." ”

"Okay." The two behind him answered at the same time.

Zuo Chengyi turned the secret organ, and also told the two of them how to close the door of the cave in the back, so as not to chase after Zuo Mao and the others when they found out about it.

After the admonition, he took the lead in entering.

The housekeeper was about to let Su Ying go first, and after he came to the palace, he heard Zuo Mao's angry voice outside.

"Keep searching!"

Zuo Mao and the others went and returned.

Su Ying saw that the housekeeper's body was shocked, and he couldn't help but say, so he quickly closed the secret door of the cave according to the method that Zuo Chengyi had just instructed.

She and the housekeeper didn't have time to go in, so they had to stay first.

Fortunately, she reacted quickly, and as soon as the secret door was closed, Zuo Mao and the others broke in.

The two government soldiers also held a woman in black, who was immobile.

It turned out to be Xiao Ran.

It is not easy for Xiao Ran to delay for such a while under the heavy siege of government soldiers.

It's a pity that Zuo Mao was afraid that she would know the truth, lest she tell the content of the secret letter in public, so the moment she caught it, she blocked Xiao Ran's mouth and made her speechless.

Su Ying was distressed, but she could only pretend that she didn't know anything, and pretended to be surprised as if nothing happened: "Grandpa Guo, this is Xiao Ran, I was sent by Zuo Gongzi to take care of me." She came to appease me when there was an accident in the house just now, how could she have the time and opportunity to steal your things? Isn't she a doppelganger? ”

Zuo Mao obviously knew that Xiao Ran was not a thief, but he was very sure that Xiao Ran was definitely in the same group as Zuo Chengyi, if it wasn't for her just now, he might have found out in bed.

Zuo Mao didn't have the patience to deal with Su Ying at all, so he rushed straight to the head of the bed again.

The hand pressed on the mechanism, and the head of the bed rose again.

With a gloomy face, he looked at the empty bed hole and asked coldly, "What about the people here?" ”
