Chapter 58: The Thief
Shi Qianqian was taken aback by Yu Yu's reaction, covered her heart and said, "Why are you so excited all of a sudden, you are still the one who serves Mrs. Hongmei, and you don't even know her past." ”
Yu Su also knew that her reaction was a little big, she pursed her lips and said, "I'm sorry, I'm so surprised, I've never heard of this." ”
In fact, Yu Yu also inquired about Mrs. Hongmei's information, but she really didn't inquire about amnesia.
Shi Qianqian said proudly: "But it's normal not to know, only the old man of the City Lord's Mansion knows about this matter, and the people who come behind may really not know much, besides, there are so many ladies in the mansion, and no one keeps staring at Mrs. Hongmei." ”
"That's right, but what's the matter with Mrs. Hongmei's amnesia?"
Shi Qianqian rolled her eyes and recalled: "It seems that Mrs. Hongmei had a serious illness more than ten years ago, and it took a long time to cure. ”
"Two or three years...... Yu said thoughtfully.
"That's right, it is said that in those years, Mrs. Hongmei stayed in Hongmei Garden to recuperate, except for the city lord, she didn't see anyone's face, and then after she got better, she found that she didn't recognize anyone. ”
"Then do you know what year Mrs. Hongmei fell ill?"
Shi Qianqian pondered for a while and said, "By the way, it should have been fifteen years ago! I remember that Lady Narcissus said that Lady Hongmei happened to be sick in the year when the beast tide occurred. ”
"Beast tide?"
Shi Qianqian was surprised: "Haven't you heard your parents say it?"
Yu Yu's eyelids drooped slightly: "Fifteen years ago, I was only two years old, I didn't have much impression of the beast tide, and you also know that my parents died when I was very young, and no one told me about my casual cultivation." ”
Seeing Yu Su's sad face and tearful appearance, Shi Qianqian was a little embarrassed, feeling that she had poked the sore spot in her heart.
Shi Qianqian hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to remind you of these unpleasant things. If no one tells you this, I'll just tell you. ”
Only then did Yu Yu retract his crumbling tears and said gratefully: "You are so good." ”
Shi Qianqian saw that she was no longer sad and sad, so she continued: "I was only five years old at the time, and I can't remember many things clearly, and I listened to my father and mother. Fifteen years ago, a beast tide broke out in Fanghua City, countless demon beasts poured towards the town from all directions, ordinary people and monks were killed and injured, and finally the city lord used his magic weapon Zhaoming Mirror to set up a defensive barrier, which lasted for three whole days before the beast tide passed, and everyone was safe, so everyone was very grateful to the city lord. ”
"I see, the city lord is really righteous!" Yu Yu sighed.
"That's right, that's why the people of Fanghua City love the city lord very much until now!" Shi Qianqian answered.
Fifteen years ago, Mrs. Hongmei lost her memory, and Peng Wanli used the Zhaoming Mirror to save the people of Fanghua City, the timing of these two events was too coincidental, and Yu Yu faintly felt that these two things might be related. There is also this disease that needs to be recuperated for two or three years, and it will also cause amnesia, which is also very intriguing.
Are these the things that Zhong Ling wants to investigate clearly?
But the information that Yu Yu knows now is not enough for her to sort out the relationship, and it seems that she will have to go to Mrs. Hongmei's tomorrow to find out.
"It's not too early, let's go cultivate first. Shi Qianqian looked at the gradually darkening sky and said.
They have responsibilities during the day and can't leave, and the time to cultivate is only at night, and time is very precious for them with poor qualifications.
"Good. Yu Yu nodded when he heard this.
If you don't have enough information, it's useless to think about it, so it's better to spend your time on cultivation, and wait for tomorrow to finish visiting Mrs. Hongmei's words before thinking about it.
However, things always go in unexpected directions.
At night, there was a commotion outside the house.
Yu Su and Shi Qianqian both woke up from their state of concentration and looked at each other in amazement.
"What's going on?" Shi Qianqian wondered.
Yu Yu was also at a loss: "I don't know, let's go out and have a look first." ”
Shi Qianqian nodded, so the two of them went out of the vine courtyard to see what was going on.
"Don't let go of every corner, investigate carefully, and you must catch this thief for me. ”
"Yes. ”
"There's going on over there!"
"The thief went to the east. ”
"Chase!"
There was a bunch of guards outside the house who seemed to be searching for the thieves, and Yu Su and Shi Qianqian stopped one of them and asked, "What's going on?"
The guard said impatiently: "The Zhaoming mirror has been stolen, we are looking for that thief now, get out of the way, don't get in the way!"
When the two heard this, they immediately let him go, but Shi Qianqian was still a little angry that the guard's attitude was not good, and whispered to the back of him leaving: "What kind of murder, it's great to catch a thief?"
Yu Yu pondered for a while and said, "I'll go and have a look." ”
Shi Qianqian's eyes widened and said: "You are crazy, can the thief who can steal the Zhaoming Mirror in the City Lord's Mansion be an ordinary thief?" That cultivation is not much higher than us, so it is better to leave it to the guards and the city lord to deal with, what kind of fun are you going to make here, be careful." ”
Yu Su did shake his head and said, "What's the matter, I have to go and see the situation first." ”
Shi Qianqian finally noticed that something was wrong with her roommate, and she said, "Are you hiding something from me?" ”
Yu Yu didn't answer again, but picked up his aura and chased after him to the east.
And Shi Qianqian, who was left in place, was so angry that she stomped her feet and said: "What a jade shadow, in vain I have always treated you as a good sister, and you refuse to tell me anything!"
She turned her head and walked towards the vineyard, but she didn't take two steps before she turned back and said to herself, "I want to see what you want to do when you catch up!"
——————
Yu Yu followed the guards until he chased him outside the Red Plum Garden, only to hear the order of the leading guards, and everyone surrounded the Red Plum Garden, and it seemed that the thief was hiding in this Red Plum Garden.
The leading guard shouted loudly: "Shen Lingrong, you can be arrested, you can't escape from the City Lord's Mansion today!"
Yu Yu was also surprised when she heard this name, isn't Shen Lingrong the female butler who arranged a position for them in the first place, this steward actually stole Peng Wanli's Zhaoming Mirror, this is not something that ordinary monks in the foundation building period can do, could it be that she hid her cultivation?
It's just that after stealing the Zhaoming Mirror, where did she escape, but she escaped into the Red Plum Garden, is this a coincidence? Or did she do it intentionally after knowing the special features of Mrs. Hongmei?
Just when Yu Su's thoughts were in turmoil because the thief was Shen Lingrong, a powerful coercion fell from the sky, and many low-level monks present, including Yu Su, were shocked by this coercion, and some even couldn't stabilize their bodies and fell to the ground.
Yu Su looked up and saw that Peng Wanli, the city lord of Fanghua City, had arrived with a sword.
