Chapter 237: Contradictions
Yang Wenshu stood on the mountainside of Cangyan, looking into the distance, with a worried look on his face. Falco followed his gaze, the lake was not rippling, and there were more than a dozen large and small painting boats docked on the shore.
"What are you looking at?"
Yang Wenshu pointed to the tallest and largest painting boat docked on the shore.
Falco deliberately teased: "You want to swim in the lake? I heard that the price is very expensive. ”
"Our people on that boat have been hiding on the boat for thirteen years."
Falco did not show the slightest surprise.
However, Yang Wenshu then sighed lightly: "But he should have been exposed by now." ”
This sentence surprised Falco: "He has been hiding for more than ten years and is safe, why is it exposed this time?" ”
"Because of Su Shi."
"It's him again!" Falco exclaimed, "What the hell is going on?" ”
"The deacon only got the news today, and last night Su Shi seemed to have unlocked the secret of the handkerchief, and told Princess Pingle on the painting boat, and then he eavesdropped on it. So he immediately sent the news to the palace, and the people hiding in the palace had no choice but to take the risk and steal the handkerchief before Princess Pingle returned. ”
Feng Ke looked puzzled: "Since the handkerchief was stolen in the palace, why didn't Princess Pingle track it down in the palace, but instead check the people on the painting boat?" ”
Yang Wenshu shook his head: "I don't know, the deacon's urgent letter to me only reads, 'You Guizhong, transfer it quickly, if you can't do anything, don't force it, take care of yourself.'" But when I got here, Princess Pingle and Su Shi were already on the boat, and no one was allowed to go up or down, so I think Yougui had already been discovered by them, and maybe they were interrogating him now. ”
Falco frowned slightly: "So what now?" ”
Yang Wenshu was silent for a while, and said slowly: "Since the deacon didn't ask me to do things forcibly, either he trusts You Gui and believes that he will not divulge any confidential matters, or the deacon has made arrangements and is not afraid of You Gui's confession." ”
On the painting boat, Zhou Jin had calmed down, but there was still something she didn't understand.
"After I got the news, I didn't delay a moment on the road, why did they still get there first?"
"Pigeon." Su Shi said in a word: "No matter how fast your carriage is, I believe it can't be faster than the carrier pigeon." ”
Zhou Jin shook his head: "If You Gui was raising carrier pigeons on the painting boat, he should have been discovered a long time ago and aroused suspicion." ”
Su Shi looked at You Gui, and then looked at Zhou Jin with a sideways face: "The carrier pigeon should be kept there, when he learned that we found the secret on the handkerchief, he immediately got off the boat and released the carrier pigeon, and then hurried back." ”
Speaking of this, Su Shi looked at You Gui again: "If you were on the boat at the time, then you wouldn't be confused about Her Royal Highness's departure, and your steps wouldn't seem so hurried." ”
Then Su Shi looked a little regretful: "If you are not in such a hurry, it would be good to continue listening, in fact, the latter words are the point." ”
Not only You Gui, but even Zhou Jin was taken aback.
"Did you tell him what we were talking about later?"
Su Shi hurriedly explained: "The main thing is to explain to His Highness, of course, it would be best if they could hear it." ”
"Why?"
"I said that if Pei Hyun is here, he definitely knows the power of capital, and he will definitely take action. But as soon as Bae Hyun died, they would only act when they really felt threatened, but by then it was already too late. ”
Zhou Jin was confused when he heard this sentence: "Isn't this a good thing?" ”
Su Shi shook his head solemnly: "It's not good, it's not good at all." ”
Zhou Jin was even more puzzled: "Why? ”
Su Shi was just silent for a while, Zhou Jin didn't know if he was reluctant to say it because You Gui was present, or if he was worried, so he didn't ask any further, and turned his gaze to You Gui again.
At this time, her willow eyebrows were upside down, her apricot eyes were wide, and she asked sharply: "Who is the person who is hiding in the palace and stealing the handkerchief?" ”
This shout and question, showing the majesty of the royal family, Xiaolan and Lin Mo couldn't help but feel frightened in their hearts.
However, You Gui, who has always been cautious and submissive in front of people, did not change his face when he heard this shouting, and his eyes were indifferent.
Zhou Jin was even more angry, and shouted angrily: "Aren't you afraid of death? ”
You Gui smiled faintly: "The people are not afraid of death, so why should they be afraid of death." ”
As soon as these words came out, Zhou Jin looked at You Gui with a shocked face, not because he said this, but because she could see that You Gui was telling the truth.
Is there really anyone in this world who is not afraid of death?
Zhou Jin couldn't believe it, but he had to believe it.
Su Shi had been paying attention to You Gui's reaction, and the shock in his heart at this time was far greater than Zhou Jin's.
After a long time, he took a deep breath, looked directly into You Gui's eyes, and suddenly asked, "Do you know a person named Zhao Liang?" ”
You Gui thought about it seriously and shook his head: "I don't know." Who is he? ”
"He's a coachman."
You Gui replied affirmatively: "I have never heard of this name. ”
No one would have thought that Su Shi would ask such a strange question at this time, Zhou Jin looked at Su Shi suspiciously, but found that Su Shi's expression had become more serious and serious than ever.
Even when he found out that the crown prince was murdered, his expression was not as serious as it was at this time.
Su Shi still didn't give up, and continued: "Zhao Liang is about thirty years old, not tall, slightly thin, ......"
However, You Gui interrupted him coldly: "If you don't know, you don't know, Su Gongzi doesn't have to bother talking." ”
In the face of You Gui's cold words, Su Shi did not have the slightest anger, but hesitated.
"You have followed Her Royal Highness the Princess for so many years, I think you understand Her Highness's temperament, and you should know that you can be immortal."
You Gui rarely showed an expression of approval, and sighed: "Her Royal Highness the princess has a pure temperament, and I admire it very much. Then he said awe-inspiringly: "It's just that if you want me to sell others in exchange for my own livelihood, please forgive me for not being able to do it." ”
Seeing You Gui so stubborn, Zhou Jin was furious and was about to speak, but at this time, Su Shi shook his head at her slightly, and after Zhou Jin forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, Su Shi said to Lin Mo: "You take him down first, watch it carefully, but don't force him." ”
Although Lin Mo was full of doubts, he still followed his orders.
After Lin Mo left, Su Shi fell into deep thought, because there were many questions that he needed to think through.
Zhou Jin didn't bother him, although Su Shi's words and deeds today were a little weird, she still believed in Su Shi.
And she also knew that Su Shi had encountered a problem, because she could feel the contradiction and hesitation in Su Shi's heart.
But she didn't understand why Su Shi was ambivalent and hesitating.
Su Shi thought for a long time, and when he came to his senses, Zhou Jin found that he didn't seem to have opened his heart knot.
At this time, Su Shi's face also showed a hint of apology.
"I know you have a lot of questions, but there are some things I haven't figured out until now, so I can't give you answers for the time being."
