Chapter 504: Follow-up Investigation II (Asking for a Monthly Pass)

The building of the mansion is very luxurious, carved beams and columns, using very bright and rich colors, painting gold and silver everywhere, painting spirit grass and beasts, no worse than the inner courtyard of the palace.

Some of the courtyards were even more beautiful than the palaces in the imperial palace, and in the hazy mist that rose at dusk, they looked like fairy palaces.

Tsuicho, who was not familiar with the layout of the house, walked around the courtyards in front of the mansion, and flew to the backyard without seeing anyone.

In a courtyard with a room, a few people with gloomy faces were chatting together, and the chickadee Ruicao saw it and quietly flew down on the beam under the eaves.

A fat-cheeked subordinate who didn't look very old, but he kept sighing like an old man, saying that the adults of their family had offended any kind of immortals, and they didn't give face to the virtuous concubine at all, and they were killed in the mansion!

Beside him, there stood an aunt wearing an apron, and while throwing the picked vegetables into the basin, she whispered to everyone, has anyone seen that group of people in black in the house?

Everyone turned their eyes on the fat cheeks, and the apron aunt with a high voice immediately asked: "Little third son, you are waiting in the courtyard of the adult's study, haven't you seen any mysterious black-clothed people?"

The little third son, who shook his head into a rattle, said that he had never seen any people in black, but not long ago, he had seen Shen Guogong come to visit twice, and he had a long conversation with his family lord Yu Shang'an in the study.

At that time, he also drove out all the people who were waiting in the house, and no one was allowed to take half a step, which was very mysterious, as if he was discussing something important.

Speaking of this, the little third son lowered his voice, saying that he felt that their family was an adult, and they might have been used by the old fox of Shen Guogong.

The apron aunt didn't know why, so she asked what to say about this, and how was his family used?

The little third son who slapped the back of his right hand to his left palm, why didn't they see such an obvious and simple thing!

Now, the eldest prince is locked up in the Zongren Mansion, and his lord is locked up in the prison of the Prison Division, and only the people on the second prince's side stay out of the matter. It must have been Shen Guogong who went to the mansion before to pry up their lord and wanted to join forces to trip the eldest prince. As a result, their lord was shot in the head, framed by the eldest prince, and became a scapegoat. And Shen Guogong, who provoked the incident, retreated with his whole body, and completely stood by and stayed out of the matter after his master's accident!

There is a black and thin subordinate, who said that their master has always been in Taoguang, and wants to seize a good opportunity to bring down the eldest prince who is most likely to become the prince in one fell swoop. First of all, there is a great opportunity in front of me, how can I not reach out and seize it.

It's just a pity that the eldest prince is a step ahead, so he made a hanging bead and planted it in the mansion, and changed the direction of the wind in a timely manner.

As he spoke, he asked the little third son and the apron aunt, who knows what the origin of this hanging bead is, and how did it get into their house?

Everyone didn't seem to know much about this bead, and they all shook their heads and said that they had only been in the house for two or three months, and they usually served in the master's study, and rarely had contact with other people.

However, the apron aunt heard a rumor about the beads, and Lord Yu seemed to have the intention of taking the beads as a concubine, but the beads did not agree.

A servant girl who was waiting for Mrs. Yu Mansion snorted disdainfully when she heard this, and said that she was such a cheap maid with beads, how could the adults of their family look at it.

It must be that the bead wants to be a little bit for the adult, and he spread this shameless rumor to test the adult's thoughts, but the adults of their family didn't take the bead to heart at all.

What's more, what reason does a lowly maid have to refuse to marry the brother of Concubine Xian as a concubine?

Everyone said that this was reasonable, and guessed that Chuizhu failed to marry the adult as he wished, so he was resentful and joined forces with outsiders to wronged the adult.

This analysis seems to be very reasonable, and everyone has always agreed with it, and I hope that the Yushitai can find out this point and return their innocence as soon as possible, so that they can no longer live with such fear.

The maidservants who served Mrs. Yu saw the gloomy appearance of everyone, and immediately reassured everyone that their lord was the brother of the current virtuous concubine, and who dared to touch a single hair.

Before, Yushitai and Dali Temple came to raid Yufu, but they were not blocked by Gonggong Liu, and they couldn't even take half a step at the gate, and then retreated with nothing.

After Mrs. Yu's maid said this, she stood up, shook the vegetable leaves on her dress, and said that she had to go back to the courtyard to serve Mrs. Yu.

The little third son, who also stood up, also said that he had to go back to the yard, so as not to let the housekeeper see him lazy and deduct his salary.

Hearing that the little third son was going back to the adult's study, the Ruicao immediately stretched her wings and followed behind her.

The small courtyard of the study of ordinary people is chosen in a secluded place that is not disturbed by others. And usually in order to set off the elegance of the study, the courtyard will not be too exaggerated, and a few rows of bamboo are planted, which is the most quiet and comfortable.

However, Yu Shang'an's study courtyard, although the geographical location is also relatively secluded, but its interior decoration is very exaggerated, small bridges and flowing water, rockeries are grouped, symbolizing the four gentlemen's plum orchid bamboo chrysanthemum, piles of courtyards all over the garden, the whole small courtyard is crowded to the full, more exaggerated than the garden that the girls use to enjoy the flowers.

After walking into the courtyard, the little third son, who had fat cheeks like a squirrel, looked around at the flowers and plants in the yard, only to see the wind sweeping the branches and leaves all over the ground, turned his head to look at the broom placed in the corner of the courtyard wall, stopped, stood in place and stretched a lazy waist, and found a reason for the laziness that came up: "Wait for the master to come back and clean up! No one will come here anyway." ”

The little third son, who was lazy with a calm heart, turned around and walked towards the gate of the courtyard, muttering non-stop: "I don't know when the master will come back, didn't the virtuous concubine go to His Majesty to intercede for the master?"

Although Mu Yirong reminded Yu Geng Xian that there might be officers and soldiers coming to raid the Yu Mansion tomorrow, she obviously didn't take this reminder to heart, otherwise, the people in the Mansion would not be in such a relaxed mood and would not look restless at all.

But it's no wonder, after all, Yu Shang'an is the brother of today's virtuous concubine Niangniang, the only uncle of the third prince, and Yu Mansion has such a strong dependence, so he naturally won't worry too much.

The chickadee Ruicao, who was standing on the tree, did not continue to follow the little third son who left the yard, but flew into Yu Shang'an's study.

The study room is not too big, and there are only a few simple pieces of furniture in the room, except for the bookshelf and desk, there is only one bed. However, there are a lot of jade and porcelain furnishings in the house, densely packed, like an antique appreciation shop.

It is obviously a study, but it is very gorgeously decorated, except for the expensive furnishings, there is almost no trace of books.

On the table in the middle of the room, there is a very valuable "Biyong inkstone", but there is no pen and ink, and Seocho suspects that this inkstone is placed here purely for ornamental purposes.

Looking around the study, you can see that Yu Shang'an's taste is exaggerated, the jade is majestic and magnificent, and the porcelain is bright and eye-catching, which is completely incompatible with the docile and introverted nature he usually pretends to be.

The bookshelves are sparsely sparsely arranged, and a few books are placed crookedly, but they are very similar to Seocho's tastes and hobbies, all of which are miscellaneous notes without nutrition, which are not quite in line with the style of the study of the imperial court officials.

Shissa, a chickadee flying around, fluttered around the study several times, but found no dark room or top-secret dossier or anything like that.

Eventually, she was so tired that she couldn't fly, and with a "bang" she turned into a human form, moved the calligraphy and paintings stacked on top of a large box to the ground, and lifted the unlocked box.

Inside the box are some imperial things in the palace, which should be given to Shang An by the saint or the virtuous concubine Niangniang today, and there is a piece of clean cotton cloth next to it, which can be seen that Shang An often takes these things out to wipe and play.

There was nothing suspicious and strange in the box, Seocho put the lid on the new one, and her eyes fell on the cabinet next to her, and she found that the upper two doors of the upper and lower cabinets could be opened at will, but the two small doors below were locked. And it is blocked by the large box containing valuables next to it, and if you don't move the box, it is difficult to find the two small doors hidden in the back.

The cabinet was locked, and there was either something valuable in it, or something unspeakable.

Thinking of this, Seocho couldn't help but stretch out his hand towards the cabinet, but when he heard a strange sound coming from the door, he hurriedly transformed back into the shape of a and landed on the window lattice.
