Chapter One Hundred and Six: Stealing Beams and Changing Pillars
Ye Suiyun was surprised, he didn't expect that someone killed Cao Gaisi one step ahead of him, although he didn't know who it was, he inadvertently helped himself. He then leaned over and rummaged through the pockets of the corpse, but found nothing, secretly believing that the killer had taken the key.
Inevitably discovered, Ye Suiyun hastily buried Cao Gaisi's body. Then hurried back to Xilongtan, now he had no clue, but he couldn't delay any longer, he had to go back to Gong Qing and Tang Xiao to discuss before making plans. Therefore, he didn't care about the danger of the dark water, and returned to the White Emperor City overnight.
However, it was difficult to distinguish left and right in the dark night, Ye Suiyun lost his direction several times, but fortunately, the sky was clear and there was the Big Dipper as a reference, so he finally returned to White Emperor City. When he came to the governor's mansion, it was already dark, and when Fang entered the door, he saw Jia Luwu sweeping the thick pile of grape skins on the ground, knowing that it must be Tang Xiao's doing, and said with a smile: "You have such a big appetite, you can eat these grapes." ”
Seeing that it was Ye Suiyun who spoke, Lu Wu complained: "Yesterday, in order not to waste this grape, I called Huanghua, Lanzi and Hongniang, plus the chief manager and Miss Tang could not all be eliminated, and the rest had to be thrown away." I've always loved fruit, but I'm afraid I won't eat grapes anymore. Ye Suiyun couldn't help laughing.
Gong Qing and Tang Xiao also came out of their respective houses when they heard the voice at this time, Ye Suiyun recounted in detail what happened in the Lonely Mountain Collection, and finally handed over the venom of the Jade Head Golden Dragon and the small fast knife to Tang Xiao.
When Tang Xiao first saw the knife, his eyes couldn't help but light up, he took the knife in his hand, took another grape, gently stuck it to the skin with the side of the blade, and turned it in a circle, and the grape skin turned into two petals silently. Tang Xiao couldn't hide his excitement and said, "Whether it is the size or the sharpness of this knife, it is simply tailor-made for the doctor, and it can be said to be perfect." ”
Ye Suiyun was also quite pleased, and said: "At the beginning, I was worried that this knife was too small and might not be in your mind, so it seems that opening the bones of Xiao Mengzi is a little more certain." ”
Tang Xiao nodded and said, "That's right." I now want to use the venom of the jade head golden dragon to blend a potion to stop bleeding, but I still need to use a few ordinary medicinal herbs. ”
Gong Qing said: "The medicinal materials that the girl needs, the city medicine hall will definitely be able to find, so let Lu Wu take you there." Tang smiled and thanked Jia Luwu to find medicine.
After the two left, Gong Qing said: "According to you, although I don't know who killed Cao Gaisi, this person should be friends and enemies with us, but unfortunately the key is also missing, so it will be difficult to do." ”
Ye Suiyun said: "What should I do next, should I go to Zhang Shanshi to get the third key?" ”
Gong Qing groaned slightly, and said: "No, the mysterious person took Cao Gaisi's key, but he also completely disrupted our plan, even if we got the other two keys, we couldn't enter the Tianzi room, not to mention the lack of Gong Wei's general seal." Ye Suiyun knew that what Gong Qing said was reasonable, but seeing that success was in sight but falling short, wouldn't it make people depressed.
Gong Qing saw his thoughts and comforted: "Fortunately, you haven't revealed your identity yet, there is still hope for everything, don't be discouraged." Ye Suiyun said helplessly: "Cao Gaisi's death will be discovered sooner or later, and the Yuwen clan will definitely be more careful, and it will be even more difficult to save people at that time." ”
Gong Qing also sighed: "Now we can't do anything, we can only wait and see." ”
Ye Suiyun felt tired at this time, so he said hello to Gong Qing, sat cross-legged on the ground and began to exercise. Gong Qing said: "Where can you rest like this, if so... If... Shaoxia doesn't dislike it, you can take a nap in my room. "Speaking of this, his face is already red.
Ye Suiyun heard her invitation, and always felt inappropriate when she thought about it, and said: "Thank you, for me, the effect of meditation and sleeping is the same, or even better, as long as no one comes to disturb you." ”
Gong Qing regretted it as soon as she finished speaking, and when she heard Ye Suiyun say this, she hurriedly said: "Don't worry, young man." He hurriedly went back to his room and hid. Ye Suiyun didn't know why she suddenly behaved strangely, but she didn't know it, so she immediately closed her eyes and luck.
When he opened his eyes again, it was already sunset, and the courtyard was empty, and he didn't know where they had gone, so Ye Suiyun got up and returned to the apse. People are scattered, and it should be almost time for dinner.
Gong Dafei saw Ye Suiyun and shouted: "Jia Er, do you want to get back the silver when you go to Gushan Ji?" Ye Suiyun thought that he had forgotten about this, and he said in a hurry: "I'm going back, I'm going back, I've already handed it over to Huanghua." ”
Jia Huanghua, who was washing vegetables on the side, had already heard it clearly, she glared at Ye Suiyun fiercely, and reluctantly took out two pieces of broken silver and handed them to Gong Dafei.
Gong Dafei seemed to be quite satisfied, and said, "It's about the same." He took the money into his arms and went back to the kitchen.
Jia Huanghua rushed up and grabbed Ye Suiyun's ears, and said angrily and urgently: "You compensate me, you compensate me, this is the silver I have worked hard to save for two months." ”
Ye Suiyun said to him: "I'll compensate, I'll compensate you tenfold, but it will take a few days." He made up his mind that the money would be decided by Li Fu.
Jia Huanghua let go of her hand and said angrily: "You are not allowed to speak." Then I went to wash the vegetables.
Ye Suiyun rubbed his swollen ears, reached out and grabbed a handful of lentils and peeled them, recalling yesterday's events in his mind. Thinking that Cao Gaisi's disappearance will attract attention in two or three days at most, the loss of the key will naturally make the Yuwen brothers vigilant, and the security of the Tianzi room will definitely be adjusted more tightly and more carefully, and it will be extremely difficult for him to save people again. He was thinking about it when he heard someone shouting: "Jia Er, come here, I have something to say to you." ”
Ye Suiyun saw that it was Qiu Dazui, and thought that he must have been bullied by Gong Wei, so he came to complain to himself again, and said, "Brother Dazui, I really don't have time, let's talk another day." "At this time, I was already worried, how could I have the leisure to pay attention to him.
Qiu Dazui said mysteriously: "I'll show you something." Grabbed Ye Suiyun and turned to a secluded corner and took out something from his sleeve. Ye Suiyun saw that the thing was half the size of a fist, boxy, and puzzled: "What is this?" ”
Qiu Dazui smiled and said proudly: "Gong Wei's general seal." ”
Ye Suiyun couldn't believe his ears, and couldn't help shouting, "What did you say?" "I thought that this was really just dozing off, so I sent a pillow, there was such a good thing.
Qiu Dazui hurriedly motioned for him to shut down, and said, "Be quiet, this is a fake." I made it myself, except that the words on it are a little different, but the rest is exactly the same as Gong Wei's seal. ”
Ye Suiyun's surprise and excitement just now suddenly disappeared, and he said strangely: "Why are you doing this?" ”
Qiu Dazui said: "I plan to secretly change his true seal, this guy must be difficult to detect, I will go to report to the deputy lord in a few days, and once it is verified, he will definitely be convicted of dereliction of duty." Gong Wei has suppressed Lao Tzu for so many years, and finally waited for the opportunity to clean him up. When he spoke, Qiu Dazui looked proud, as if he had seen the scene of Gong Wei being punished.
Ye Suiyun thought to himself, isn't this an opportunity given to him by God, and asked, "Are you sure he won't find out that the thing was dropped?" ”
Qiu Dazui said: "I have been looking at that seal for more than ten years, and the appearance has long been familiar with it, and this fake seal is exactly the same." If it weren't for the deliberate manipulation of the words on it in order to finally distinguish them, you would have no problem saying that it was true. ”
Ye Suiyun nodded again and again, patted Qiu Dazui's shoulder and said, "Good plan, what do you need me to do?" ”
Qiu Dazui looked around, and said in a low voice: "Actually, I have been doing this fake seal for a long time, but I have never had the opportunity to do it, but I can't wait like this, who knows if he changes to a new one day, I will be busy in vain, think about it, and you can still talk about it, so I will discuss with you what to do, and give me an idea." ”
Ye Suiyun was happy when he heard it, and he said in his heart that this reckless man was real, but he was not worried that if he secretly told Gong Wei about it, then he would be finished. At the same time, I couldn't help but think that maybe there was providence in the dark, who would have thought that the opportunity to solve this big problem would be sent to me like this, and asked: "If the package is really successful, then what are you going to do with it?" ”
Qiu Da was stunned for a moment, and said, "I haven't thought about this yet, what do you say you should do?" ”
Ye Suiyun pretended to think hard for a while, and said: "It is a well-known thing that you and Gong Wei have always been at odds, no matter what goes wrong with him, you will not escape suspicion, and you and your residence will definitely be carefully searched." ”
Qiu Dazui's face changed, and he said, "You're right, fortunately, thanks to your reminder, things must not be put here." He lowered his head and thought for a while, and said, "It's better to leave it to you to deal with, whether you throw it away or hide it, it doesn't matter." For me, as long as I can rectify Gong Wei, it is enough. ”
Ye Suiyun was waiting for this sentence, and said solemnly: "It's all about it." Qiu Dazui said: "The two of us have been talking for a long time, but there is still no way to steal the real seal?" ”
Ye Suiyun looked at the thieves who came to eat one after another in the distance, and had a plan, and said, "You give me the things, just wait to see a good show." Seeing that he seemed to be confident, Qiu Dazui handed him the fake seal and said, "You must be careful, if you miss the filling, I will not admit it." ”
Ye Suiyun smiled, turned around and returned to the kitchen, and said to Gong Dafei: "Commander, today General Gong Wei named to eat 'syrup potatoes', you hurry up and work hard, make a plate." ”
Gong Dafei frowned and said, "It's really troublesome, I have to do it for him alone." As he spoke, he began to prepare the ingredients, and muttered: "This guy has always only loved meat, why did he suddenly become a vegetarian today." ”
Ye Suiyun walked out of the kitchen, and saw Qiu Saisai sitting alone from a distance, frowning slightly, as if he couldn't figure out something. Not far away, Meng Zhuangyuan also walked over, his face was pale, his eyes were deep-set, obviously he hadn't closed his eyes for several days, he shook as he walked, held on to a table and just sat down and lay on the table, Qiu Saisai next to him was startled and asked, "What are you going to do?" Hiding in the house for two days without showing his face. ”
Meng Zhuangyuan couldn't even raise his head at this time, shook his hand, and said weakly: "Hugh wants to speak, I will almost figure out where the overall array is." Qiu Saisai was so angry that he didn't bother to pay attention to him.
Ye Suiyun almost laughed out loud, and said in his heart that when the matter was over, he and Tang Xiao would definitely take the formation diagram away before leaving, lest Meng Zhuangyuan really get crazy, but I don't know if he can survive until that time.
At this time, seeing Gong Wei walking far away with his strong body, Ye Suiyun hurriedly returned to the kitchen and asked, "Is the potato ready to be made?" Gong Dafei was putting the last spoonful of syrup on the plate and said, "What are you urging, it's annoying, take it." He spends his days in the kitchen cooking food and ignoring foreign affairs. Although there are more than a dozen people to help with the cooking, they are still very busy. And it is common for high-ranking generals to order food alone, so they have no doubts about Ye Suiyun's words.
Ye picked up the plate with the clouds, came to Gong Wei's side, suddenly pretended to be tripped under his feet, and rushed forward with his body, shouting, "Be careful." "Smash a plate of hot vegetables on Gong Wei's head.
Gong Wei had just sat down, but he didn't expect this, he screamed when he was hot, and in a fit of rage, he slapped him over and scolded: "Little rabbit cub, are you looking for death?" ”
Ye Suiyun lowered his head to avoid it, resisted the urge to laugh, and pretended to panic: "The general is angry, the general is angry." At this time, there were already a hundred and ten people in the entire apse square, and they all laughed loudly when they heard this scene.
The plate of syrup was pasted on his face, Gong Wei felt that the soup flowed into the front shirt along his neck, sticky and greasy, it was not uncomfortable, Ye Suiyun pointed to the water urn next to him and said: "The little general will clean up his clothes quickly, and it will not be too late to beat and punish." ”
Gong Wei was helpless, and snorted angrily: "I'll clean you up later." When he came to the water urn, he untied the big knife from his waist, and took out the contents of his clothes one by one. Ye Suiyun saw clearly from the side, the general's seal was in it, and he hurriedly stepped forward and stretched out his hand to take it: "I'll take it for the general first." Gong Wei said that he had just done something wrong, so he tried his best to please Bajie, nodded and put the things in his hand, and then took off all his shirts, revealing a body of pimple muscles, and washed it. The rest of the people saw that there was no more excitement to see, and they all took care of eating.
After Gong Wei had finished scrubbing his head and face, Ye Suiyun respectfully held the things and said, "The general spares his life, and the little one will be more careful next time." ”
Gong Wei had just poured cold water on it, and at this time, most of his anger had disappeared, and he already had no evil feelings towards Ye Suiyun, so he said in a rough voice: "Jia Er, you kid pay attention, is it possible to be reincarnated in a hurry with such recklessness." So saying, he grabbed the saber, the sigil, and the rest of the belongings, and put the soaked clothes on his shoulders, and sat down at an empty table to eat. Ye Suiyun said: "The general sits widely, and I will bring the rice." ”
Gong Wei nodded and said, "It's about the same, go quickly, go quickly." Ye Suiyun turned around, touched the seal in his sleeve through his clothes, and was secretly happy. Sneaking a glance into the distance, Qiu Dazui was giving himself a thumbs up.
After a busy time, as the sky got darker, the people who were eating also dispersed one after another, Ye Suiyun was ordered by Gong Dafei to clean the kitchen alone as a punishment because of today's matter of deducting the dishes on Gong Wei's head. The rest of the servants and cooks were overjoyed to be able to finish their work early, and they were all gone. Jia Huanghua originally planned to stay and help, but was specially pointed out by Gong Dafei that she was not allowed, so she had no choice but to apologize and leave. Ye Suiyun smiled bitterly, knowing that he couldn't hide no matter what, he rolled up his sleeves and began to clean up meticulously, but the kitchen was too big, and when it was all done, it was already the time to hold the lamp, most of the people had already fallen asleep, and the entire apse was also silent, only the occasional sound from the kitchen.
Although he was punished, Ye Suiyun's mood at the moment was not bad, just because he never expected that the key sigil to enter the Tianzi Room would be so easy to get in his hands, and while cleaning the stove, he thought that he had to inform Tang Xiao and Gong Qing of this unexpected joy as soon as possible to discuss the next plan. Although there is no key to Cao Gaisi at the moment, it is not possible to save people in vain, but things are developing towards the ideal situation, which is always exciting.
Suddenly, Ye Suiyun felt that someone was standing outside the door in the dark night at this time, staring at him through the window. Although he was puzzled, the movements of his hands did not stop at all, and everything was as usual. He knew that the other party would never come here just to see himself.
Sure enough, the man watched for a while, and suddenly with a wave of his hand, a sleeve arrow shot out, extinguishing the candle, and the whole kitchen was suddenly pitch black, blending into the night outside. Ye Suiyun sighed and muttered to himself: "Where did the frustration wind come from?" ”
The man was already standing at the door, with his back to the moonlight, but he couldn't see his face clearly, and he spoke: "Who are you, and why are you lurking in the White Emperor City?" ”
Ye Suiyun pretended to be panicked and said, "You... Who are you? I'm Jia Er, the runner of the apse. ”
The man sneered and said, "You don't have to act anymore, do you really think that by stealing Gong Wei's general seal, you can hide it from everyone without knowing it?" ”
Ye Suiyun's heart was shocked, but he didn't expect him to say this, if the matter leaked out, it would not only be a question of whether he could save people, but also the lives of himself and Tang Xiao would be difficult to protect. He calmed down and said in a calm tone, "I don't understand what you're talking about?" ”
The man said: "It's not difficult to understand that you conspired with Qiu Dazui to change the sigil. After all, the two of them have had a grudge for many years, and it is normal for them to want revenge. What I can't figure out is that you are a servant who runs the hall, even if you have a good relationship with Qiu Dazui, how dare you have the courage to steal the things of Gong Wei? Say, who the hell are you? ”
The two talked in the darkness where they couldn't see their fingers, although Ye Suiyun couldn't see each other's appearance, he also knew that there was no point in concealing it, whether this person was friend or foe, if he wanted to denounce himself, then the outside would have been surrounded by many water thieves now, so after a little hesitation, Ye Suiyun said his plan to enter the Tianzi room to rescue Liu Yang, but he didn't mention his name, and finally said: "Liu Yang may have an old relationship with my father, I just want to save him, and I have no other plans." That's why they have to steal the seal of Gong Wei. ”
The man was silent for a long time, and then said, "In addition to the seal, you should know that you need three keys to the iron door to enter the Tianzi Room, right?" ”
Ye Suiyun said: "Naturally, I know, for this reason, I deliberately followed Cao Gaisi to Gushanji, wanting to take the opportunity to get his handsome, but I didn't know that he had been killed by someone when he arrived, and the key was gone, and I don't know what to do now." ”
With a wave of his hand, the man tossed something over. Ye Suiyun listened to the wind and argued, stretched out his hand to catch it, although he still couldn't see it, but he held it heavily in his hand, and touching it was like a key.
Only listen to the man: "I killed Cao Gaisi, this is his key." ”
