Chapter 236: Listening

You Gui saw that the matter was revealed, but his expression did not appear to be too flustered, but his face was calm.

Su Shi didn't speak, and looked at You Gui quietly, because he felt that You Gui's expression was very strange.

Anyone whose tricks are exposed will be nervous and frightened, but Su Shi can't see these expressions on You Gui's face, and now he acts like a warrior who sees death as home.

What surprised Su Shi even more was that even in the face of Zhou Jin, You Gui seemed neither humble nor arrogant.

Towering imperial power, ordinary people can't look directly at all, but when Zhou Jin looked at him, You Gui didn't dodge, his eyes were calm and indifferent.

Zhou Jin held back the anger in his heart and asked slowly, "Why are you doing this?" ”

You Gui smiled faintly: "It's just that each is his own master and each does its own thing." ”

"Your master is Bae Hyun?"

"Teachers never call themselves masters, no matter who they face, they treat them as equals."

Zhou Jin looked stunned, because she didn't expect You Gui to say such a thing.

At this time, Su Shi couldn't help but sigh and asked, "Have you seen Pei Hyun?" ”

"I haven't seen the teacher yet."

"Did you know he's dead?"

You Gui nodded, with deep sadness on his face: "When I learned that the teacher died, it was like the sky falling apart, and I was drunk that night. ”

"But you survived."

"The teacher's last wish has not been fulfilled, so naturally he does not dare to feel sorry for himself, nor does he dare to slack off in the slightest."

Su Shi asked casually, "What is your teacher's last wish?" ”

You Gui didn't answer him, but his eyes were full of questions: "Why do you doubt me?" ”

"A month ago, you overheard our conversation and spread the content of our conversation."

You Gui did not deny it.

"At that time, I suspected that someone was hiding on the painting boat."

You Gui looked at Zhou Jin and was a little puzzled: "Why don't you suspect that Her Royal Highness the Princess or General Su lost the secret when arranging the operation?" ”

Su Shi explained: "Because they don't mention my name at all when they arrange the operation, so if it is lost at that time, it is impossible for your teacher to know that I am the one who planned the mastermind." ”

"Only by eavesdropping on our conversation will you know all this clearly."

Zhou Jin couldn't help but ask on the side, "How did he eavesdrop on our conversation?" ”

At that time, Zhou Jin was already very careful, in order to keep it secret, the third floor of the painting boat had been completely emptied, except for the three of them, there would never be a fourth person, and the stairs leading to the third floor had been guarded, and it was impossible to let people come up without her permission.

"He doesn't even have to go to the third floor of the gallery to eavesdrop on our conversation right in his room."

Zhou Jin looked shocked and couldn't help but stand up: "How is it possible?" ”

Su Shi pondered: "Presumably, when this painting boat was built, Pei Hyun had deliberately placed this eavesdropping thing, and its purpose was mainly to eavesdrop on the prince's remarks. It's just that after the death of the crown prince, the owner of the painting boat became Her Royal Highness the Princess, so You Gui's task became to monitor Her Royal Highness the Princess. ”

Zhou Jin was trembling with anger, and at the same time felt palpitations, she couldn't imagine that her words and deeds were actually being monitored by others at any time.

She gritted her teeth and asked, "What kind of eavesdropping thing is it?" ”

"It's just a few hollow bamboo tubes, which were built in the wall, one end of which is hidden in the study, and the other end is where he lives. When not in use, the ends are hidden with the same decoration as the walls, so that no one can find the clues. When you want to eavesdrop, uncover the ornaments. ”

At this time, he looked at Zhou Jin: "You Gui has been working here for more than ten years, and His Royal Highness must have trusted him, so he should be able to come and go freely on the third floor of this painting boat." ”

Zhou Jin didn't speak, but her expression undoubtedly showed that Su Shi's guess was not wrong.

"And You Gui is also responsible for welcoming guests, so His Royal Highness invites people to the painting boat to talk, and will inform him in advance and tell him to do a good job of welcoming and sending him off. And this is exactly what he wants, and he will also decide whether to listen or not according to His Highness's words and deeds and the people he invites. ”

Then he looked at Lin Mo: "What did you find in his room?" ”

Lin Mo immediately replied respectfully: "Hearing the secret signal from Childe, when I kicked the door in, I found that he was sticking to the wall and eavesdropping on the conversation between Her Royal Highness the Princess and Childe. Just as Childe guessed, he used hollow bamboo as an eavesdropping. Two have been found in his room. ”

Su Shi smiled: "The other place is obviously directly connected to the study, which is used to eavesdrop on the movements of the study." ”

Then he looked at You Gui with a smile: "You will naturally take advantage of your position, and when you think it is worth monitoring, you will arrange the banquet in this room." ”

You Gui finally sighed: "There are more than a dozen people on this painting boat, I don't understand why you doubt me?" ”

"With what I know about your teacher, I will plan everything before I act, and I am cautious and do not want to leave any clues to arouse suspicion. There are not many ways to listen in the air, and the most difficult thing is to place eavesdropping things unknowingly, and at this time I suddenly remembered Du Ziqi's method of killing Bai Jingchao. ”

"When I figured out how Bae Hyun placed the eavesdropping on the painting boat without a trace, everything became clear, he was there to monitor the prince's movements in the first place."

"This shows that this operation has been going on for at least a dozen years." Su Shi sighed: "Although there are many people who work on the painting boat, it seems that you are the only one left who has been working here for more than ten years." ”

"And last night, when I left the painting boat and stood on the pier to enjoy the night view, I happened to see you go back to your room, only to find that the wall of your place is Qingyin Pavilion, and above it is the study of Her Royal Highness the Princess."

"All these factors add up, and I don't doubt who else you can suspect?" Then Su Shi smiled again: "But at that time, I was just skeptical, whether I can confirm my suspicion depends on whether you will report the news, if the handkerchief is really stolen, it means that my speculation should not be wrong." ”

You Guijie exclaimed: "Su Gongzi is so deep in the city, You admire." Presumably, Childe had already thought that someone was eavesdropping, so he deliberately said that the handkerchief was very important, saying that it contained clues to the book written by the prince, just to lure us out. ”

Su Shi said lightly: "Actually, I didn't lie, there is a high probability that the handkerchief contains clues to the book written by the prince, and it also records his strategy for governing the world." It's just that now that I've found that book, it's useless now. ”

You Gui couldn't help but be surprised: "Why? ”

"The so-called time has changed, the prince has passed away, with the current situation of Daqian, can a book really change Daqian?"

In the end, Su Shi looked at You Gui and sighed slightly: "If your teacher is still alive, he will definitely understand this truth, and he will definitely not take any action." ”
