Chapter 51: Listening to the Perfume Pavilion
Ye Suiyun turned his head to look at it, saw that the other party was stunned, and said with a smile: "How is it, can you talk about it now?" ”
This woman was intimidated by Ye Suiyun's thunderous methods, and her whole person seemed to wilt, and she no longer had the power she had just now. She looked at the ground and asked weakly, "Who are you and why are you dealing with me?" ”
Ye Suiyun put away his smile and said solemnly: "The deputy altar master doesn't need to be afraid, I'm not here to target you, I just want to ask you for some news, as long as Your Excellency answers truthfully, then the matter of the rape field, I promise that it will never be discovered." ”
The woman nodded, she knew that if the dirty beggar in front of her was willing, if he wanted to kill himself, it would be too much to use two fingers, it seemed that he really didn't want to be embarrassed by himself, since he couldn't beat it, he had to be obedient, but fortunately, the other party seemed to just want to ask something. Suddenly remembering something, she pointed at Ye Suiyun and shouted, "It turned out to be you... You were the one who sent Monk Chen flying that day. Who are you? ”
Ye Suiyun said with a smile: "Okay, I came to ask you, why did it become that you asked me?" ”、
The woman came back to her senses, nodded, and after a little hesitation, after some elaboration, Ye Suiyun learned that this person's name was Lan'er, but he was a Han man, born in Yangzhou Mansion since he was a child, and then in order to vote for relatives, he went away with his family, and by chance he worshiped the Cardinal Sect, and became the deputy altar master. This time, the Cardinal Sect came to Yangzhou to carry out a special mission, because Lan'er was a local, so he was sent here together. Then she inadvertently met her girlhood lover, who was Ouyang Yunshu, and the two reunited their old friendship, so that they had a tryst that Ye Suiyun inadvertently bumped into later. The reason why she is so afraid of exposing her personal relationship with Ouyang Yunshu is because the rules of the cardinal religion stipulate that any woman who loses her body without marriage will be burned at the stake, that is, burned alive, and the name is to use the holy fire to wash the dirty body of the woman who has lost her virginity.
He remembered the mysterious death of the craftsman, and asked, "Tell me the truth, how did those innocent stonemasons die?" ”
Lan'er lowered her head, but she squeaked and whined, and did not answer. Ye Suiyun said with a smile: "It seems that Deputy Helmsman Lan is really righteous and Yuntian, and he would rather be burned to death than tell the truth." ”
Lan'er hurriedly said: "Don't worry, I really don't know who killed them, but I think it should have something to do with Qixiu Neifang." ”
Ye Suiyun secretly thought: "It's the inner square again." ”
I only heard Lan'er continue: "Actually, I don't know a lot of the inside information about this mission, all of them are controlled by Shen Xiaoyun, just because Han women are not reused in the Cardinal Sect. I only know that I came to deal with Qixiu this time, as for the specific details, Shen Xiaoyun never said, but she seems to be involved with Neifang. For I had stumbled upon a few men dressed in inner garments, but wearing hats on their heads, in the camp. After speaking, he glanced at Ye Suiyun nervously, as if judging whether the other party believed his words or not. Ye Suiyun nodded and motioned for her to continue.
Lan'er said again: "That night, Shen Xiaoyun ordered us not to go out, and the next morning when we went out to take a look, we found that dozens of stonemasons had been dead on the spot, all dead. The skins of each face were swollen and the green tendons burst, and they should have been bombarded to death by a strong internal force, although I was also suspicious, but I didn't dare to ask more. ”
Ye Suiyun groaned for a while, and then said, "Did you arrest the few disciples who disappeared in Qixiufang?" ”
Lan'er's face tightened, and she slowly lowered her head, as if her thoughts were fluctuating, Ye Suiyun smiled when she saw this: "There's no need to hide it, you don't mean that you are the one who did it." Say, where are people hiding? ”
Lan'er sighed helplessly, and said: "The hero has insight into everything, and I have nothing to hide, those girls were indeed captured by us with drugs, but I don't know where they are now?" ”
Ye Suiyun raised her eyebrows, and Lan'er hurriedly said: "It's not that I have the intention to hide it, it's just because Shen Xiaoyun sent his cronies to be responsible for sending those unconscious girls away, but I don't know where they were." After speaking, his brows were deeply locked, and his eyes were wandering.
Seeing this, Ye Suiyun said with a smile: "It's not that I don't know, but I don't dare to say it." ”
Lan'er said helplessly: "Don't dare to deceive the young man, I really don't know, I just guess it should be related to Qixiu Neifang." ”
Ye Suiyun knew that what she said should be true, which was consistent with her own estimate. He smiled and said, "Okay, the things I want to ask have been asked, you can go, as long as you don't talk in your dreams and be heard, make sure that no one knows about you." As for Monk Chen's affairs, you'd better keep your mouth shut. He wanted to entrust Monk Chen to hand over the rape to Lan'er, in order to make sure that he didn't cause trouble for the great monk, so he added the latter sentence. Lan'er didn't say a word, bit her lip and nodded, turned around and left.
Ye Suiyun suddenly thought of something, and said: "That Brother Ouyang is very romantic, and he doesn't necessarily have a heart for you. For the sake of your help, I'll give you a word of advice. Lan'er kept her body and walked faster.
Ye Suiyun thought about it now, the spearhead of everything was pointed at Qixiu Neifang, and it seemed that he was looking for an opportunity to find out. After thinking about it, I thought that the case on my body had not been solved, but I wanted to get involved in other people's affairs. Thinking of Xiao Ning'er and Shu Xiaoyu's two friends, Ye Suiyun smiled bitterly in his heart, even if others don't care, they can't leave their affairs alone, maybe he was born to be a nosy person.
In the next two days, Ye Suiyun inquired around and learned that Qixiu Neifang was heavily guarded, and ordinary people were not allowed to enter, if a man trespassed in and was discovered, he would be killed immediately, and the government would not pursue it. Therefore, he did not dare to act rashly, but he was secretly anxious in his heart, but he couldn't think of any good way, so he could only wait slowly, hoping to find the opportunity.
On this day, Ye Suiyun followed Yang Laosan to ferry the merchants at the wharf, seeing the twilight of the West Mountain, the two of them took the boat home, Yang Laosan said while closing it: "Er, why do you have to dress like this, there is a bad smell, which makes the old man's life a lot lighter." Just because Ye Suiyun refused to change his tattered clothes in order to disguise himself, Yang Laosan persuaded him several times, but he insisted on not allowing it, and the guests who took the boat sometimes covered their noses when they saw an ugly and dirty little beggar on the boat, so that Yang Laosan's business was much less, so he couldn't help but complain. But after all, Yang Laosan was not really angry, just because of his unspeakable relationship with this little beggar. His son and daughter-in-law died early, leaving a granddaughter to rely on each other, but unexpectedly, Xiao Wall, this little granddaughter Xi'er was taken away by the strongman, the old man lived alone and lonely, met Ye Suiyun, and unconsciously regarded him as his own family.
Ye Suiyun heard Yang Laosan's words, and replied: "The heroes of our beggar gang are all like this, if this clothes are changed, where will there be heroism." The old and the young laughed.
At this time, someone on the shore shouted: "Don't go, someone wants to cross the river." Then he saw the three approaching.
Ye Suiyun was taken aback when he saw the person coming, he hurriedly lowered his head and pretended to comb the reins, not daring to look at it, his heart couldn't stop pounding, and the first person was full of black hair and sparse on his back, and a strand of white hair in the middle was extremely conspicuous, and it turned out to be the cruel Ji Farewell Love. There were two people standing behind him, the person on the left was fair-skinned like a woman, with a high nose, a red flame mark on his forehead, and a strand of long hair hanging down to block half of his face. Seeing this person, Ye Suiyun felt a strangeness in his heart, only to feel that although he didn't open his eyes, he could still see it clearly. The person standing on the right-hand side is medium-sized, slightly fat, and has a blue-black birthmark the size of a child's fist on the left side of his face. This person has his head held high, his eyes are sharp, he has a lot of bearing, and he looks like an ordinary person with a thoughtful feeling.
Ye Suiyun's heart tightened again, and he thought of what Monk Chen had said that the master who made the money behind the scenes had such an obvious mark on the left side of his face, as if his name was Yang Guozhong. Secretly wondered: "Is it really such a coincidence? ”
Ji Beiqing took out a silver ingot, threw it to Yang Laosan and said: "Boat family, we are going to a place, you don't have to ask, I will show you the way, you just have to row the boat." ”
Yang Laosan saw that the other party's attitude was arrogant and his momentum was extraordinary, so he said: "The guest is really good, but it's a pity that the old man's ship is going to be finished, I'm sorry." When Yang Laosan first saw the three of them, he thought in his heart, these people are by no means good at stubble, the farther away the better, otherwise they will get into trouble at any time. While saying that he was about to throw the silver ingot back, Ye Suiyun's thoughts flashed, and he hurriedly grabbed Yang Laosan's hand and said: "Grandpa, so much silver, how many trips do we have to row, even if it is late, this boat will go, it's a big deal that I will send you back first, and then come to ferry these officials." ”
Yang Laosan didn't know why he wanted to call himself grandfather for a while, but he didn't ask much, but he was anxious in his heart, and secretly thought: "This kid doesn't know how thick the sky is, where are these people so good." He was about to persuade him, but when he saw Ye Suiyun carrying the three people behind his back and winking at himself, Yang Laosan knew something was wrong, so he said: "You kid, you can make people laugh, so if you want to go, you can go." ”
Ye Suiyun turned his head and said goodbye to Ji: "Guests, please get on the boat." He deliberately stretched his tone and raised it again, just afraid that Ji Beiqing would hear his voice. Fortunately, Ye Suiyun grew up in Jiangnan since he was a child, with a pure accent and no show of his feet.
Ye Suiyun said that he would send his grandfather home first, but the three of them didn't think there was anything wrong with it and ignored it. Ji Beiqing turned sideways and asked the person on the right to get on the boat first, looking quite respectful. Then he walked again, and the man standing on the left finally followed him into the boat.
Ye Suiyun sailed to Qingluo Island, and arrived after a while, Ye Suiyun helped Yang Laosan to go ashore, and said: "Grandpa, you go back first, I sent a few guests home." At the same time, Yang Laosan's hand tightened, smiled slightly, signaled not to worry, then turned around and got into the boat again, propped up the bamboo artemisia, and left the ferry. Yang Laosan was full of worries, but he didn't dare to speak casually, but he was quite puzzled, why did these two seem to have something to hide from him, but he didn't know what it was.
On the boat, Ye Suiyun pretended to be casual and asked, "Where are you going?" Rushing so late? ”
Ji Beiqing said coldly: "You ask too much, just follow my instructions." ”
Ye Suiyun hurriedly said in a panic: "Yes, yes, the little one is mouthy." Peeking at the other two seemed to be deaf and expressionless. Ye Suiyun's face returned to concentrating on rowing, but his heart was like turning over the river and the sea, he knew that these three people were not trivial, and when they appeared here at this time, something big must have happened, but I don't know if it was related to him, or related to Qixiu. In the surging of suspicion all the way, Ji Beiqing instructed him to change the direction of the ship every time he passed, Ye Suiyun saw that the surrounding scenery was alternately obscure, and he became more and more unfamiliar, knowing that he had never been here, and he remembered the whole journey in his mind. Along the way, the three people on the boat didn't say a word from beginning to end, only Ji Beiqing was just pointing the way from time to time.
After passing through countless reeds and hills, the boat turned around, and suddenly there were lights reflected in front of it, and from a distance, it looked like a courtyard built on the surface of the lake, and the water surface reflected the lights, reflecting the glorious tassels on the small bridge and flowing water, even at night, it also made people feel very beautiful.
Ye Suiyun's heart was pounding, and this kind of sign made him unable to suppress the speculation that suddenly appeared in his heart. At this time, a voice immediately confirmed his thoughts, and he heard a woman shouting: "What kind of person, dare to go to Qixiu at night to listen to the incense shop." "Sure enough, it was Neifang, and I learned through Shu Xiaoyu that Neifang's correct name was Tingxiang. As he spoke, several women's figures quickly appeared on the shore, all holding dual swords.
Ji Beiqing walked up to the bow of the boat and said, "The old man is visiting, and I have come to meet the manager of Neifang Li, and I ask a few people to report it." After speaking, he took out a small card from his waist and shook it with a wave of his hand. The female disciple on the shore took a look and said, "A few later." Then he dodged away, thinking that the sign was some kind of token, so the other party went to report it as soon as he saw it. After a while, the disciple returned, and with a hand he said, "The chief manager has please." Ji Beiqing said to Ye Suiyun: "You can go." With that, he and the other two left the boat behind the disciple who led the way.
Ye Suiyun pretended to leave in a hurry, he knew that someone was still watching in the dark, but he was afraid that it was other patrolmen. When he had returned to the pitch-black reeds, and after making sure that no one was noticeable, he stopped the boat, jumped into the lake, and swam back lightly with the true qi in his body. Ye Suiyun has grown at the water's edge since he was a child, with excellent water quality, and now he has a supreme internal force, he can swim extremely fast but has very little movement. According to the previous memory, after a while, he had come to the place where the boat had just stopped. He thought about how many pairs of eyes there were around now, and the slightest movement might be discovered, and lightly touched a big stone from the shore, Ye Suiyun took a long breath, stretched out his hand to hold the stone horizontally in his arms, sank into the water, and when he stepped on the bottom of the lake, he walked forward step by step. It's not far from the shore now, so the waterline is not deep, just not topped.
At this moment, the powerful protective function of the autumn rain trick gradually appeared, and Ye Suiyun used the method of turtle breath to turn the breath into the body, so he could walk a stick of incense in the water in one breath, stay to the limit, and then quietly poke his head out and take a breath, so that it is difficult for others to detect that there are people in the water. After walking for a while with his feelings, and resurfaced again, Ye Suiyun found that he was under a bridge with a winding corridor, but he didn't know where the three of them were.
At this time, there was a rush of footsteps overhead, and it was two women, one of whom said: "I want to send snacks so late, I don't know who the manager is seeing?" ”
Another replied: "Naturally, you are an important guest, don't talk too much, be careful that the manager punishes you." The first one did not dare to say more, and the two hurried to the other end of the small bridge and entered a small door. Ye Suiyun said in his mind thank you for leading the way, judged the direction of his footsteps, inhaled again, and sank into the water.
When you come out of the water again, you are under a stone boat, which faces the lake on three sides, and only one of them is connected by a zigzag stone bridge, away from the river bank. Ye Suiyun couldn't help but secretly shout good luck, he knew that he had found the right place, at this time, there were a lot of people in the stone boat above his head, and a few of them had deep and long breathing, and he knew that he had achieved internal strength when he heard it, which made Ye Suiyun strange that it seemed that the number of people above was different from what he expected, not only four, but a few more people.
A female voice said, "Stand down, all of you." I have important matters to discuss with a few distinguished guests. Although the voice is soft, it exudes a commanding majesty, which makes people dare not resist. It's as if she was born to call the shots. Ye Suiyun was overjoyed, it seems that these people have not yet said important things.
After a female disciple agreed, she retreated along the small bridge. I only heard a voice say: "Yang Guozhong has seen Princess Anle." ”
These words made Ye Suiyun happy and confused, happy that this person was indeed that Yang Guozhong, it seems that the chaotic things that happened here are just afraid that they will fall on this person, so strange why did he say what 'Princess Anle'? Although he didn't read much since he was a child, Ye Suiyun also knew that the princess was the emperor's daughter and should live in the palace, but he couldn't understand that there was one here. Of course, all this is just because Ye Suiyun doesn't know about the chaos in the imperial palace in the past, otherwise he would never be slightly surprised when he heard the name of Princess An Le at this time.
(Leave of absence for cold)
