Chapter 110: Going is the best policy
The tunnel is about ten zhang long, and when they drill out from the other end, they are now in a small courtyard.
Li Zhen looked at it for a while, and saw that the house here was completely different from the previous Yupinlong Mansion, with mud walls and black tiles, and a small house with low doors, and said to Di Yan: "Ah Yan, is there anything strange about your current small courtyard?"
Di Yan nodded, "This seems to be a private house!"
"It's an ordinary house, we are no longer in the house of Yu Pinlong, but in the house next door, it's really interesting, is the house next door also the house of Yu Pinlong?"
At this time, the scholar just now jumped up and ran from a walkway, and when he saw them, he screamed in fright, turned around and ran, "They're coming, Childe, they're coming!"
"Keep up with him!"
Li Zhen and Di Yan chased after the scholar, and after two rounds, the scholar was knocking desperately on the door in front of a room, only to see that the other party had chased him, and the scholar was so frightened that he squatted on the ground with his head in his hands, trembling all over.
At this time, a hoarse voice came from the room, "Yu Niang, open the door and let them in!"
The door creaked open, and a woman appeared in front of them, under the moonlight, I saw that she was about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, dressed in a cloth skirt, wearing a silver hairpin, her skin was not shiny, and there were a few white pockmarks on her face, she looked very dry, black and thin, which reminded Li Zhen of the wind chicken that her eldest sister pickled every autumn.
She said coldly to Li Zhen: "Come in!"
Li Zhen glanced at her in surprise and walked into the room quickly, the room was dimly lit, and there was a strong smell of medicine.
Li Zhen looked at the room, the room was quite clean, with ordinary willow furniture, and there was a person lying on the bed, looking at him with a half-supported body, it was Yu Pinlong.
He was very thin, his face was pale, his head was disheveled, his lips were covered with blisters, and he had long since lost his former handsome and dashing appearance.
"Li Gongzi, it's been a long time!" A wry smile appeared at the corner of Yu Pinlong's mouth, and he was not surprised by the surprise in Li Zhen's eyes.
Li Zhen saw that he seemed to be covered in injuries, not like he was only injured by an arrow, and couldn't help but ask strangely, "Brother Yu, what's going on?"
Yu Pinlong sighed, "I did it myself!"
He said to the woman again: "Yu Niang, you go and pour two glasses of water!"
Seeing that the woman was extremely unwelcoming to the two, she glared at them fiercely, turned around and went out, watching her back disappear, Yu Pinlong showed a bitter smile on his face, and said to Li Zhen: "This one is a clumsy Jing just now!"
"Clumsy!"
Li Zhen and Di Yan glanced at each other, and both of them showed surprise, Yu Pinlong actually had a wife.
Yu Pinlong smiled bitterly: "I'm thirty-five years old, it's normal to have a wife! My two sons are fourteen or fifteen years old, and they are in their hometown!"
Li Zhen immediately understood that Yu Pinlong lived in Wei Tuan'er's mansion, but his wife lived in the house next door, and the two dug a tunnel to connect them, hiding from Wei Tuan'er, and the two secretly met every day.
Thinking about the difficulty of digging tunnels, I don't know how much time it took, Li Zhen was quite sympathetic to this man who was raised by Wei Tuan'er, needless to say, he stole Wei Tuan'er's ornaments to support his wife and children.
Li Zhen smiled: "I really can't see it, I thought Brother Yu was only in his twenties." ”
"Just look young!"
Yu Pinlong groaned and said, "You are looking for me, but for the sake of Chang'an?"
Li Zhen shook his head, "The matter of Chang'an has nothing to do with us, I have something else to do with you." ”
Sympathy is sympathy, but you can't miss the right thing because of sympathy, Li Zhen took out the cuiyu hairpin, "Brother Yu should know this thing!"
Yu Pinlong's face suddenly changed greatly, his lips trembled, his eyes stared at the hairpin in fear, and after a while, he closed his eyes and let out a long sigh, "What do you want to know?"
Then the woman came in with water, put two bowls of water on the table, and said to her husband in a gloomy voice, "Don't talk nonsense, beware of misfortune coming out of your mouth!"
Di Yan, who was standing behind, was furious, pressed the hilt of his sword and glared at her, Yu Pinlong waved his hand, "You go down! ”
The woman glanced at Di Yan coldly, turned around and left, Li Zhen smiled, and said to Yu Pinlong: "Brother Yu, please continue, where did this hairpin come from?"
Yu Pinlong pondered for a moment, and said slowly: "I also heard about the Broken Tan case, I really didn't expect them to be killed, but I sue you, I didn't kill them, it was Princess Teng, I don't have such courage." ”
"I know, it was Wei Tuan'er who did it, maybe it wasn't Brother Yu, but you are an insider. ”
"I am indeed an insider, I was in contact with Princess Teng on behalf of Wei Tuan'er before, and promised to get her husband back, you know that her husband writes letters from Lingnan every day to cry and beg, saying that if he doesn't come back, he will die in Lingnan, forcing the princess to have no way out, so he fell for Wei Tuan'er. ”
Yu Pinlong sighed and said: "Wei Tuan'er has long known that Princess Si Teng has a lot of precious jewelry, so she opened her mouth and asked the princess to exchange all the jewelry, Princess Si Teng was forced to agree, I am the receiver, she gave me a large bag of jewelry, I stole seven or eight pieces from it, this green feather hairpin is one of them, I don't know what happened later." ”
Li Zhen looked at him and saw that he didn't look like he was lying, so he smiled puzzled and asked, "Why is Brother Yu so happy today?"
Yu Pinlong's eyes showed a look of resentment, "When she wants to beat me to death, I can't wait to cut off her head with a sword, I originally had a great future, but I was ruined at the hands of this woman." ”
Li Zhen didn't sympathize with him, this was the path he chose, when he was attached to Wu Chenghei, he was doomed to today's end, and when he relied on Wei Tuan'er's power to make a fortune, he didn't listen to him complain, just like he said, he just suffered by himself.
Li Zhen asked again: "Where is her treasure? Brother Yu should know!"
Yu Pinlong shook his head, "I don't want to hide it, the place where the treasure is her biggest secret, she will never tell me, not only me, even her most confidant palace maid doesn't know, only she herself knows." ”
Li Zhen did not object, Yu Pinlong did not know the place of hidden treasures in his expectations, although he was Wei Tuan'er's face, he was also Wu Chenghe's fake son.
And he actually stole Wei Tuan'er's ornaments to sell, this kind of person Wei Tuan'er will not believe him, let alone tell him his biggest secret.
But Li Zhen was still not reconciled, and asked again: "Does no one really know Wei Tuan'er's treasure place?"
Yu Pinlong smiled bitterly: "Maybe there is, but I don't know, this is her most important secret, never let me participate, I just happened to hear her personal maid complain, saying that if she has an accident, her treasure will be buried deep underground, so I deduce that no one knows where her treasure is hidden." ”
At this time, I heard Yu Pinlong's wife shouting outside the door: "Don't be stupid, talking nonsense will kill you!"
Yu Pinlong said apologetically: "She is like this, don't be surprised." ”
Li Zhen smiled and said that he wouldn't care, Li Zhen pondered for a moment and then asked, "Have you ever thought about testifying to bring down Wei Tuan'er." ”
Yu Pinlong stared at Li Zhen for a moment and said: "Everything Wei Tuan'er did was the order of today's son, including her framing Concubine Liu and Concubine Dou of the East Palace, and it was also because the Son of Heaven wanted to get rid of these two people, if the Son of Heaven didn't want to eradicate Wei Tuan'er, no one would be able to defeat her, not Shangguan Wan'er." ”
Yu Pinlong's face was hot, his eyes showed irrepressible excitement, and he said to Li Zhen again: "Li Gongzi, you are because you have Gao Yanfu behind you, so Wei Tuan'er doesn't dare to touch you, otherwise you will be worse than me now." ”
Li Zhen had already heard these calluses, he had come to this point, and he had long since taken this kind of 'well-intentioned advice' to heart, and he was not a three-year-old child, didn't he know his choice?
He stared at Yu Pinlong for a moment and asked, "Then what are you going to do?"
Yu Pinlong smiled bitterly and said: "Take care of your injuries first, and then go back to your hometown to see your son, and then I don't know, maybe go to the Western Regions and Lingnan, anyway, the farther away the better, what else can I do? I can't afford to provoke her, so I can only hide." ”
Li Zhen saw that he really couldn't ask any clues, and he didn't want to stay any longer, so he gave Di Yan a look, and the two of them immediately left.
As soon as the two left, Yu Pinlong's wife appeared in the room like a ghost, she glanced at the two bowls of water that she had not drunk at all, and complained: "I knew they wouldn't drink, and what water did they pour, and they had to let me wash the dishes again!"
"Don't bother me!" Yu Pinlong was annoyed by her never-ending complaints.
The woman asked viciously, "What have you said to them, have you said everything?"
Yu Pinlong closed his eyes and ignored her, and the woman said to herself: "They know the truth about the Broken Tan case, they will definitely force you to come out to testify, and the government will come to the door tomorrow, it is too dangerous, we must leave immediately." ”
The woman's words were said to be inappropriate, and he had to leave immediately, so he hesitated and asked, "It's dark outside now, how do you go?"
"It's good that it's dark, but it's still a while before the city gate is closed, so it's too late!"
Yu Pinlong nodded, "Let the scholar go and rent a carriage first, you pack your things, you have to be faster." ”
Coming out of Yu Pinlong's house, it was already dark, Di Yan complained in a low voice: "It was not easy to find a clue, but he still didn't know, so I said, how can it be so simple to find out Wei Tuan'er's secret, what are you going to do now?"
"The treasure place is only looking for another opportunity, and I can't rush for a while, but I plan to tell Sun Li the truth about the Broken Tan case, so that he can know in his heart. ”
"Will he come to catch the fish and dragon?"
Li Zhen shook his head, "Yu Pinlong and Wei Tuan'er have too much to do with each other, catching Yu Pinlong is equivalent to announcing that Wei Tuan'er did the Broken Tan case, Sun Li will not catch Yu Pinlong, at most catch a few Jiangyang thieves to blame, saying that they robbed money and killed their lives, and gave an explanation to the royal family, and the female emperor turned a blind eye." ”
"Well, you know a little bit about officialdom now, yes, there is progress!"
"Do you really think I'm that stupid?"
Li Zhen laughed, and at this time, he heard his stomach screaming, so he touched his stomach and said, "I'm a little hungry, let's find a place to eat something first, and then I'll send you home." ”
Di Yan looked at the night, if she went back after eating, the door would have been closed, she smiled, "It's better to go to the old place of Anye Fang to eat, and then you stay in my house for one night, my guest room is very spacious, and there are beautiful maids to serve, what does Gongzi Li think?"
"Your last words make me yearn for it, let's go!"
The two talked and laughed, went to the inn to lead the horse, turned over and ran towards Anyefang.
Not long after Li Zhen and the two left, a carriage slowly stopped in front of Yu Pinlong's house, and the woman carried a big burden on her back, helping Yu Pinlong to come out of the gate, and the two got into the carriage, and the carriage started slowly and drove away in the direction of the south gate
