Chapter 313: True and False Letters, Beautiful Friends
For Director Yanagawa and Manager Gao Yang, this incident was just a small episode, and they continued to go on patrol.
Yang Zekai suffered this setback, his heart was uncertain, and he began to guess Xu Yang's origin, he didn't dare to entangle anymore, glared at Xu Yang fiercely, and retreated in a hurry.
Xu Yang and Le Tingyun walked to the tall gatehouse of Haiyun Courtyard, and the two chatted while walking.
"Lezong, congratulations. Xu Yang said with a smile.
Le Tingyun said: "You kid, where did you get such a big face? That Yang Zekai, relying on his identity as a member of the Yang Deputy Courtyard Master's family, has always been arrogant in front of me, and today he actually ate such a big deflate, the reason must be on you." ”
Xu Yang said: "How can I have such a big face? It's just that I worshipped a master in Canglan Mansion, and Mr. Gao just gave my master face." ”
Le Tingyun didn't ask in detail, and sighed: "It seems that your master's face is really big enough, I'm afraid that his status in the inner courtyard can catch up with Deputy Master Yang." Otherwise, today's events would not have turned out like this. ”
After a pause, Le Tingyun said: "Don't think that Gao Yang is a good person, he is a villain! Last time, he was entrusted by Yang Zekai to not give me any position and put me in the air." This time, he saw that your backer was bigger than Yang Zekai, so he imposed a heavy punishment on Yang Zekai, and gently exposed us, without even saying a word of reproach. ”
Xu Yang smiled: "Of course I understand. At any time, self-strength is fundamental, and the so-called backers are just foreign things. ”
"Speaking of your own strength, you kid is getting more and more powerful, and I don't necessarily have to be your opponent now!" Le Tingyun shook her head and sighed, "It's only been half a year...... I really don't know how you cultivate. ”
Xu Yang said humbly: "Le Zong is too modest, if you use the general trend, I will definitely not be an opponent." ”
The two quickly walked out the door. Xu Yang followed the route of his memory, and walked over to an inn on the Xiangyou side.
"Shopkeeper, is the female guest in the Northeast No. 2 Courtyard here?" Xu Yang knocked on the counter and asked.
The shopkeeper was pulling an old abacus, and said without raising his head when he heard the words: "There are seven courtyards in the northeast, and there is not a single female guest staying in it. Master, you're in the wrong place. ”
"Wrong? Impossible. Xu Yang frowned, he turned his head to look around, and said more and more certainly, "Shopkeeper, think about it again, half a year ago, I brought a female guest to stay, her name is ...... Repair Clothes"
The shopkeeper looked dazed and tried his best to recall.
"Mending clothes...... Yes, yes, yes. There is such a one, a little maidservant, but she is very pretty," the shopkeeper remembered, and said, "you are his master?"
"Exactly!" Xu Yang asked, "Where is she now?"
The shopkeeper shook his head and said, "That little maid has only lived in the shop for less than a month. He left and never came back. ”
"What?" Xu Yang was taken aback. "How is it possible, it is impossible for Mending Clothes to leave without permission, and besides, she has no relatives and no reason here, where can she go?"
Xu Yang had a premonition of unhappiness in his heart, and he twisted the shopkeeper's corset. He shouted in a deep voice: "Shopkeeper, you tell me clearly, when did the mending clothes disappear, did she leave any notes or something?"
The shopkeeper's face was as blue as earth, and he shouted again and again: "Someone, someone!"
Two gray-clad guards burst out of the inn. It was all Xuan Shi's cultivation, and he shouted: "Hey, in broad daylight, at the foot of the imperial city, where can you be allowed to commit murder?"
"Let me go!"
Xu Yang looked angry, turned his head to stare at them, and a blue light flashed faintly! He shouted coldly: "If you don't want to die, just give it to me...... Get out!"
The two Xuanshi-level guards inadvertently saw the blue light in Xu Yang's eyes, and their hearts were like being bombarded by a giant hammer, they staggered backwards, glanced at each other, and exclaimed together: "Evil Gate!"
The two did not dare to step forward, and shrank back to the inn.
Only then did the shopkeeper know that he had bumped into the murderer, and he trembled and said, "Young, young master, easy to say, easy to say...... Before the little maid left, she did leave a note......"
As he spoke, the shopkeeper took out a piece of paper from the cabinet and handed it to Xu Yang tremblingly.
Xu Yang shook his hand and put down the shopkeeper and opened the note.
There were only a few lines written on the note, which read: "Young Master: I met my relatives and friends of the deceased in mending clothes, and I want to follow them to Qingqiu in the Western Regions, the love of master and servant, and I will continue it in the future." Respectfully, mend your clothes. ”
Xu Yang's eyebrows trembled violently, he flipped the note over and over again and read it carefully, Zuihou suddenly grabbed the shopkeeper and shouted, "You dare to lie to me!"
The shopkeeper was shocked and waved his hand again and again: "The villain doesn't dare to deceive the son!"
Xu Yang asked: "Then tell me, how many people were taken away to mend the clothes at that time, whether they were men or women, who were the people, and they were dressed up! I warn you, I know all the relatives and friends who mended the clothes, if you say the wrong one, be careful of your dog's life!"
The shopkeeper looked flustered and said, "Childe...... After half a year, the villain has almost forgotten about it......"
Xu Yang said coldly: "You still dare to lie." Very good. ”
In a flash of blue light, one of the shopkeeper's fingers had been cut off, and suddenly the miserable howl was shocking, and the shopkeeper's palm trembled, and he couldn't say a word.
"Tell you, I have a code word with Mending Clothes, and there is no code word on your note, it is obviously a forgery," Xu Yang said slowly, "Even if you don't kidnap Mending Clothes, then you are at least an accomplice, and you are innocent." If you don't say anything more, I'll cut off all your fingers. ”
The shopkeeper's forehead was dripping with beads of sweat, and he trembled his lips and said, "Childe...... The son spares his life, and the little and the little man is willing to say......"
Xu Yang stared at the shopkeeper indifferently and threw him to the ground with shaking hands.
The shopkeeper said intermittently: "That mending clothes, miss, did leave half a year ago, and did leave a note, handed it to the villain, and asked the villain to pass it on to the child......"
"However, a few days ago, someone came to look for Miss Mending Clothes, and took away the note she had left, and left this forged note, and told the villain that if he saw a boy with a white pet on his shoulder, he would give the forged note to the visitor......"
Xu Yang's eyebrows furrowed, he already felt that someone was plotting against him, secretly laying a big net, waiting for him to drill into it.
"It's a pity that that person is ambitious and talented, and not refined enough," Xu Yang thought calmly, "There was a mistake in the first step, which made me alert." ”
Xu Yang turned his head and looked at the shopkeeper.
"Hmph, shopkeeper, I think that the man told you so much, and he also gave you a lot of benefits, right?" Xu Yang sneered, "You are greedy for profit, and you deserve to break a finger." ”
The shopkeeper's legs trembled and said, "Villain...... The villain is guilty, and he asks the son to spare his life. ”
Xu Yang said lightly: "You can spare you, but if someone asks, you will say that I have no suspicion and want to go to Qingqiu to find mending clothes." (To be continued......)
