Chapter 14: The Man Behind the Kidnapping
Qiu Ruoruo seemed to have forgotten the existence of Meng Si, and she was more interested in Yu Zhi's next actions than with Meng Si.
Yu Zhi thought about the simple and crude method he proposed - a beating.
Qiu Ruoruo rolled her eyes, too lazy to take care of this nonsense-ridden Yu Zhi. The other party is an armor-piercing six-pin, and the three of them together are not necessarily opponents of others. Moreover, in Kyoto, such behavior will inevitably be taken down and questioned by the Shuntian Mansion and the Five Cities Terracotta Division.
"Qiuqiu, can't you let the people of the Five Cities Terracotta Division arrest him? After all, that Du Ankang also injured Qing Huanna. Yu Zhi said.
Qiu Ruoruo walked into Yu Zhi and reached out and knocked Yu Zhi's head.
"Are you really the Five Cities Terracotta Division opened by my family? Brother Ye was injured in the Hubu Shangshu Mansion, and no one saw it, could it be that they confessed on their own? Qiu Ruoruo occasionally doubts Yu Zhi's IQ, sometimes he is abnormally intelligent, but sometimes the words he says make people think that this kid is in the water.
Yu Zhi rubbed his head and said, "Since the big ones can't be beaten, the small ones can always be pinched, right?" ”
Qiu Ruoruo felt that Yu Zhi's mind was spinning too fast, and said: "Bai Li is in the Academy of Knowledge, Brother Xiaoyu thinks that with your name, can you enter that academy?" ”
"Naturally it's not me who goes, you and Qing Huan's names are always loud enough, you go to challenge Bai Li, and beat him up by the way."
It's a shame to ask!
Qiu Ruoruo understood that this name was not a misunderstanding of him by the world, and the truth was that Yu Zhi insulted the four big words "shame of asking the question". This is a good way to let her and Ye Qinghuan challenge the child who has just turned twelve?
Even a beating and scolding on weekdays is not necessarily more humiliating than a challenge.
"Very good."
Ye Qinghuan's voice shocked Qiu Ruoruo even more, and she shouted with anger in her coquettishness: "Brother Ye." She couldn't have imagined that Ye Qinghuan, who had always been steady, would also learn from Yu Zhi. If Qiu Ruo blamed Yu Zhi for this crime, it must have been this person who brought Ye Qinghuan to death.
Those who are close to Zhu are red, and those who are close to ink are black. Qiu Ruoruo began to deeply doubt how true the sentence "out of the mud and not stained" in the poetry book was.
"You ought to be ......"
Qiu Ruoruo flicked her sleeves and left angrily, forgetting to ask Yu Zhi the reason for her disappearance. Ye Qinghuan also went back to the room, and Ye Qinghuan also tossed for three days when Yu Zhi was missing, and he didn't have a good rest at all, and now his hanging heart was put down, and fatigue also made him sleepy.
Yu Zhi received this love and remembered it in his heart. He was just about to fall asleep when there was another knock on the door.
"Young Master Xiaoyu." It's the voice of Akian.
Yu Zhi responded, Qiu An knelt down towards Yu Zhi as soon as he entered the house, although Yu Zhi stopped him, he couldn't resist this old man with gray temples. Qiu An was kneeling directly opposite the door, and it was snowing outside the house, and the snowflakes swept towards the old man.
Squeak!
Yu Zhi closed the door, which made the room warmer.
Bang!
Yu Zhi walked in front of Qiu An and knelt down, looking at Qiu An, the two of them knelt with each other a little funny, but Yu Zhi didn't mind at all.
"Young Master Xiaoyu!" Qiuan shouted. He felt ashamed, after all, he took Yu Zhi to Zhao Wangfu, and during the three days that Yu Zhi disappeared, he also followed Qiu Ruoruo around, and asked his friends to help find him in Kyoto. Unfortunately, Yu Zhi is not in Kyoto.
"Grandpa An, if you don't get up and speak, I'll be in pain when I'm kneeling." Yu Zhi said first. He had never doubted Qiu An, and since it was an unintentional mistake, he didn't need to apologize by kneeling.
Qiu An stood up at this time, and the two sat down against the table, Qiu An didn't know where to start. In the end, it was Yu Zhi who spoke first: "Grandpa An, I have suffered a little in the past few days, of course it is not Grandpa An's fault. If Grandpa An feels uneasy, it is better to find out who is behind the scenes for me. ”
Yu Zhi just wanted to find an excuse to perfunctory Qiu An. He has always not known how to comfort people, and it is also a good solution to let the elderly have a goal.
However, how could the guy who could use a little trick in King Zhao's mansion be so easy to find? If Qiu Ruo didn't get anything in three days, it already said it all.
"Does Young Master Xiao Yu really want to find the mastermind behind the scenes?"
Yu Zhi suddenly noticed that there was a glimmer of light in the old man's dark eyes, obviously this old man should know something. Yu Zhi choked up, and the sudden silence seemed to warn Yu Zhi not to pursue him.
Yu Zhigang wanted to speak, but Qiu An took the lead, "Young Master Yu, there are some truths that the Qiu family cannot afford. ”
Qiu An is talking about the Qiu family, not Yu Zhi. Yu Zhi knew the power of the Qiu family, Qiu Jinfeng, Qiu Yu's father and son were both the pillars of the Great Chu court, and the students under the Qiu Jinfeng Gate were also all over the officialdom of the Great Chu.
If there is really something that the Qiu family can't afford......
Yu Zhi thought about it for a while, looked around and saw that there was no one around, so he quietly approached Qiu'an, lowered his voice and said, "Could it be that Your Majesty wants to calculate me?" ”
As soon as Yu Zhi's voice came out, Qiu An's ears were hairy, and he quickly covered Yu Zhi's mouth, thinking in his heart: "What an open-mouthed teenager." ”
"Young Master Xiaoyu, don't talk nonsense, how could Your Majesty want to calculate you? Your Majesty has never known you. Even if you know, how can you still bother Your Majesty with your little boy's memory? Qiu An said hurriedly. It is a felony to make false claims to the Son of Heaven wherever he is.
Yu Zhi thought about it, "Who is Grandpa An talking about?" Who can make the Qiu family unable to recover? ”
Qiu An kept silent, but he found some clues, but he didn't dare to dig deeper.
After being silent for a moment, Yu Zhi gave up and said, "I think Grandpa An has his own considerations. Which is more important, Grandpa An also knows better than me. But I've come back safely, and Grandpa An doesn't have to blame himself, let him pass this matter over. ”
Qiu An nodded, not daring to look at Yu Zhi's gaze, so he had to look at the trees in the courtyard that had been invaded by the wind and snow. Yu Zhi is a victim, and he can only swallow his anger after being wronged, which is not something that an arrogant teenager can endure.
Qiu'an also came from a teenager, and he knew that it was a difficult thing to bear.
Qiu An retired, and the moment he closed the door, he heard Yu Zhi's voice again.
"Grandpa An, what should I do if someone calculates me like this next time?"
Qiu An put his hands on the door and paused for a long time before he said, "Young Master Xiaoyu had better not stay in Kyoto." Li Fuzi asked, the academy will definitely be able to protect you. ”
......
After Qiu An left, Yu Zhi lay on the bed and couldn't fall asleep. In this snowy day, the sky is dark, and it is best to sleep peacefully under the covers. It's just that in the Qiu family in Kyoto, Yu Zhi can't sleep anymore.
Qiu'an's last sentence revealed a lot of information and made him guess a lot. It was like a stone thrown into a calm lake with many ripples, and Yu Zhi's thoughts drifted away with these ripples.
Yu Zhi got up, sat at the desk, and picked up the pen. In the Taoist Academy, he rarely wrote, because he was lazy, and because of Li Qingru's constant persecution, he had to pick up a pen today.
The Li Fuzi mentioned by Qiu An naturally refers to Li Qingru, the talented woman of Da Chu. Twenty years ago, he was one of the national scholars appointed by the Great Chu Emperor. Yu Zhi believed what Qiu An said, his aunt had raised him so far, and it was impossible for him to let himself be in danger.
Yu Zhi quickly wrote it and put the paper in the envelope, and it was impossible to fly the pigeon to pass the book in this weather, so he had to send someone to send the letter to the Wendao Academy.
Bang!
As soon as Yu Zhi sent someone to deliver the letter, he heard his door being kicked open, the wind and snow entered, and a figure also came in unscrupulously.
Yu Zhi doesn't have to guess to know that it must be Qiu Ruoruo, and only Qiu Ruoruo will walk directly into Yu Zhi's room in the Qiu Mansion like this,
"I'm." This is Qiu Ruoruo's first sentence, and it is also the second, third, fourth, and fifth Qiu Ruoruo's next sentence...... Sentences.
Yu Zhi closed the door again, preventing the wind and snow from entering the house. He felt that the habit of entering the house without closing the door was very bad.
"Brother Xiaoyu, the Steppe Wolf Court is so shameless, I didn't expect it to be even more scoundrel than the market." Qiu Ruoruo said angrily.
Yu Zhi's face was full of doubts, and he began to vent as soon as he heard Qiu Ruoruo enter the house, and he didn't explain what happened.
"Wait, tell me what's going on, is that the person at the door has taken a fancy to you and wants to take you back to the grassland?" Yu Zhi asked.
Who knew that Yu Zhi just said it casually, but when he saw Qiu Ruoruo nodding, it was really like Yu Zhi's conjecture.
"That guy also said that he was going to ask His Majesty for marriage. I don't want to go to the prairie with that guy from him. Qiu Ruoruo grabbed Yu Zhi's arm and said pitifully.
"The toad wants to eat swan meat, and it really thinks it is a green onion. wants to marry us Qiuqiu, give him face. Don't worry, your grandfather will definitely not agree. Yu Zhi said, "I don't think he's a good person when I see him, and after blocking the door for so long, it turns out that I just fell in love with you." ”
Qiu Ruoruo is undoubtedly a model of knowledge and reasoning to the outside world, but in front of Yu Zhi, she will always be a little sister next door, and she will say anything to Yu Zhi if she has any grievances. "Brother Xiaoyu, that person is so angry, he actually said that he would come again tomorrow."
Yu Zhi whispered a few times in Qiu Ruoruo's ear, only to see Qiu Ruoruo suddenly sweep away the haze.
"Tell Qing Huan about this, and let him prepare." Yu Zhi instructed. He gave Qiu Ruoruo a good idea. In the face of these things that could not be avoided, Yu Zhi felt that it was better to take the initiative. If Qiu Ruo can't wipe his face, let him do it, and of course Ye Qinghuan.
Yu Zhi didn't tell Qiu Ruoruo what Qiu An said, so as not to worry Qiu Ruoruo. What Qiu An knows, Qiu Jinfeng will also know, since the Qiu family doesn't want to get involved, then Qiu Ruoruo shouldn't know.
Regarding the disappearance, Yu Zhi prevaricated a few words, and even blamed Qiu Ruoruo for why he hadn't found out the real culprit and sought justice for him. This anti-customer-oriented operation can only be done by Yu Zhi who is so shameless.
As for what happened in three days, Yu Zhi did not hide it. He also wanted to ask Qiu Ruoruo to help investigate the young lady who had a good voice but was closed.
