Chapter 206: Letters
When Su Shi left the Qianqiu Warehouse, it was already dark.
Lin Mo was driving in front, and Zhang Ao was riding a horse to follow, and the eyes of both of them were full of vigilance.
Su Shi sat in the carriage, leaned on the seat, didn't think about anything, and hummed a ballad casually.
His humming voice was very soft, but Lin Mo and Zhang Ao's ears were very sensitive, and this strange ballad quickly aroused their curiosity.
Because they had never heard a ballad of this tune.
There is no technique, and the tone is flat, but it is this flat tone that gives people a feeling of loneliness and loneliness.
Su Shi didn't hum for long, because in his own humming, he gradually fell asleep.
The carriage drove to the gate of the General's Mansion, and Lin Mo and Zhang Ao were relieved.
Lin Mo jumped out of the carriage and was about to wake up Su Shi, when Su Shi had already jumped out of the carriage and stretched.
Seeing Su Shi returning home, Menzi immediately greeted him.
"Second son, someone sent you a letter."
"Someone sent me a letter?" Su Shi's still outstretched arm suddenly stopped, and he looked at Menzi suspiciously.
"Is it Miss Chen?"
Menzi said: "There is no signature on the envelope, but the person who sent the letter should say that it will be handed over to the son." ”
As he spoke, he took out a letter from his bosom and handed it to Su Shi with both hands.
Su Shi took the letter and saw that there was not a word on the envelope, and the seal was intact. He smiled and said, "It's hard work." ”
Menzi was about to leave, and Su Shi asked again, "When did the letter arrive?" ”
"At less than three o'clock today, not long after the son went out, someone sent this letter."
"Who's the messenger?"
Menzi replied, "It was sent by a letter from the shop." ”
Su Shi nodded, and when Menzi saw that he didn't ask any more questions, he retreated.
Su Shi tore open the letter, took out the thin letter paper inside, and then fell into deep thought.
There are only two lines on the letter, one for the time and the other for the place.
Tonight.
No. 36, Wuyun Street, Pingning Fang.
Lin Mo saw Su Shi looking at the letter in a daze, and was about to step forward, Su Shi suddenly looked up at him and asked, "Set off at this time, can you rush to Pingning Fang?" ”
"Childe is going to Pingning Fang at this time?" Lin Moqi said.
Su Shi handed him the letter, and Lin Mo's face changed after reading it.
"Childe, be careful of deception."
When Lin Mo took the letter and watched it, Zhang Ao also saw the content on it, for such a letter from an unknown source, he meant to put it aside and ignore it at all.
Su Shi thought for a while and said with a smile: "Let's go for a while, maybe there will be unexpected surprises." ”
For Lin Mo and Zhang Ao, they didn't dare to think about unexpected surprises, as long as there were no unexpected shocks, it was already good.
However, Su Shi insisted on going, and they had to accompany Su Shi on this trip.
Before the time arrived, Su Shi's carriage had already arrived at Pingning Fang. When the carriage passed by the arch bridge, Su Shi suddenly remembered Cui Peng.
In his memory, Cui Peng fell into the water and died in an accident on this arch bridge.
Although in the end Pei Hyun said that Cui Peng's death was indeed an accident, and Pei Hyun had no reason to lie to him, Su Shi always seemed to have a thorn in his heart.
Because Cui Peng's death was too bizarre, the cause of death that led to his death was too coincidental.
The carriage drove across the arch bridge, Su Shi sighed slightly, he made the mistake that Zhou Jin said again, and began to doubt everything again.
Lin Mo drove the carriage to Wuyun Street, and at this time there were no pedestrians on the street, only occasionally patrolling soldiers and watchmen.
Wuyun Street is in the west of Pingning Fang, and it took about two quarters of an hour for Lin Mo to turn into Wuyun Street.
The streets of Wuyun Street were not wide or long, so Lin Mo quickly found his destination.
Su Shi got out of the carriage and looked at the two-story building in front of him.
There was no light, and there was silence all around.
Lin Mo and Zhang Ao were around Su Shi, listening to the movements around them calmly.
Su Shi didn't stand long in front of the door, walked straight to the door, and pushed it gently.
As if he knew that a guest was coming, the door was not locked, and Su Shi pushed a gap open with a light push.
He was about to push open the door, but Lin Mo stepped in front of him at this time, and pushed the door hard, and the door creaked, breaking the silence of the night.
But apart from the squeak, there was no movement in the room.
With the help of the faint moonlight, Su Shi could faintly see the furnishings in the main hall, but it was empty.
Su Shi smiled, raised his voice and said, "Su Shi was invited to come, and he also invited the host to come out to welcome the guests." ”
Even though Su Shi spoke loudly, no one in the entire room answered.
He was disappointed when suddenly the light of a candle came from the second floor, apparently an oil lamp lit by someone.
Su Shi waited again, even though the oil lamp was already lit on the second floor, there was still no one to speak, he had to sigh and say, "Since the master doesn't speak, Su Shi has no choice but to be an uninvited guest." ”
With that, Su Shi stepped into the room.
Lin Mo and Zhang Ao glanced at each other, then nodded slightly, Lin Mo flashed in front of Su Shi, quietly walked to the staircase, and listened to the movement above with his ears sideways.
Zhang Ao held the waist knife hanging from his waist in one hand, and searched around vigilantly, not daring to be careless.
Lin Mo listened at the top of the stairs for a while, then returned to Su Shi's side and said softly, "There are people on the second floor." ”
Zhang Ao immediately asked in a low voice, "How many?" ”
"I only heard a person's breathing, the voice was weak and short, it didn't look like a practitioner, and the breath was gentle, it didn't seem to have bad intentions."
Zhang Ao also said: "There is no one below, it seems that the one upstairs is the master of the invitation son." ”
Su Shi looked at them in amazement, and couldn't imagine that these two people could tell if there was anyone in the room just by their ears? How many people are there? You can even hear whether this person can do martial arts or not, and whether he has malicious intentions.
He was even more curious, and he really couldn't imagine who would ask him to come here at this time.
So hearing that Lin Mo and Zhang Ao analyzed that there was no danger in the room, Su Shi immediately walked towards the stairs.
Although Lin Mo was very confident in his judgment, he was still worried about any accidents, so he walked ahead of Su Shi.
The three of them cautiously made their way to the second floor, where there were three rooms, and the light shone through the room on the left.
Su Shi stood at the top of the stairs, quietly looking at the light, and walked to the door of the room after a long time.
At this time, he looked at Lin Mo, Lin Mo nodded slightly, and motioned for the person to be in the room, Su Shi took a step forward and knocked lightly on the door.
The door of the room was also not locked, and when Su Shi knocked on the door, the light in the crack of the door appeared and disappeared.
"It seems that the master here is a gentleman. Stay open at night to your friends. ”
As he spoke, Su Shi's palm was gently pushed, and the door opened silently, and then his face suddenly looked at the person as if he had been slapped in the face.
After a long time, Su Shi couldn't help but sigh: "It turned out to be you." ”
