Chapter 117: Counting the Counts (Part I)
Hongyuan got the order, and he didn't dare to delay for a moment, and hurriedly walked to the main room of the living room.
At that time, Sima Chun was chatting with Murong Xue and the others in the back room, and when he heard someone talking outside the door, he looked out of the window. I saw Zhou Yi and Hongyuan leave in a hurry after saying a few words, while Hongyuan hurried towards the courtyard. The two seem to be in a hurry, and they think it is also related to Yu Xi.
Yu Xi had already seen it, but pretended not to see it, closed the door with his backhand, and said to Murong Xue: "It's not early, I should go back too, father, they are still waiting for me, even if you and I are reluctant, today's parting is inevitable." In the future, if you have leisure, we will meet again in Wuxiangshan!"
As he spoke, he carried a small baggage, raised his legs and walked out.
As soon as he opened the door, Hongyuan was looking inside with an anxious expression, and was scolded by Yu Xi in front of him. Hongyuan didn't dare to contradict it, but he was also afraid that she would go down the mountain and would not be able to communicate with Zhou Yi, so he tied himself aside and kept glancing at Sima Chun.
Sima Chun didn't know what she wanted, thinking that it must be Zhou Yi's idea, so he said with a dark face: "Just say something!"
Hongyuan looked at Yu Xi with a jealous face, and sighed: "I'm just a little scholar, why do you have to be embarrassed for me!" As he spoke, he had already walked to Sima Chun's side, "The prince has ordered, saying that you will take over the control of all the people up and down Baihe Mountain, and no one will be allowed to go down the mountain without his consent!"
Sima Chun was stunned by his sudden words, reflected for a long time, suspected that he had heard it wrong, and then repeated it according to his original words. Hongyuan nodded and said: "That's it, my son-in-law just left, let me stay and pass a message to you, don't ask me why, I don't know anything." ”
"Ridiculous!" Yu Xi smiled coldly: "Who does he think he is! He can call the wind and rain in Baihe Mountain, can he still put this kind of self-righteous majesty above everyone's heads? I want to see, I can't go down to this Baihe Mountain today!"
As he spoke, he put the burden on his shoulder, held the long sword in one hand, and walked out angrily.
Hongyuan cried with a sad face, grabbed it and knelt down in front of Yu Xi, and begged in a good voice, "If the girl has anything to say, you can tell the son in person, if you leave like this, he will have to pick my skin when you turn around!"
Yu Xi ignored it and insisted on leaving. Sima Chun hurriedly came over and persuaded: "Hongyuan doesn't seem to be lying, and the reason for this is not something he can explain, let's go and ask him!"
"Okay, let's see what kind of fame he can make as a son-in-law!" calmed down a little, lowered his eyebrows and asked him, "Where is your son-in-law?" Take me to see him, and the rest will have nothing to do with you!"
Hongyuan got up, still uneasy in his heart, and whispered, "Childe didn't mean to offend the girl, what he said meant was all the people who went to Baihe Mountain, the girl must not be angry!"
"What's the use of talking about this now! He has always been suspicious, as if the whole world has an enmity with him, not to mention, he has not targeted me once or twice, and today he must make it clear to his face to see if there is any such thing in the world!"
Yu Xi wanted to say more and more angry, and a layer of sweat condensed on the tip of his nose.
I really wanted to go out, and suddenly a few Taoist children with swords entered the courtyard, and they didn't inform Murong Xue, and directly said that their wine-making workshop was surrounded by them.
Yu Xi became more and more annoyed, pointing at Dao Tong and angrily scolding: "What are you doing here! Who let you break in and pull one?"
The person who took the lead was a little older, and when he saw Yu Xi's uncontrollable arrogance, he had to answer, so he hugged his fist slightly, and said: "Under the order of the son, I have come to seal this place, because of the sudden incident, I have not been reported, look at the girl Haihan!"
"What a big breath, if you say that it will be sealed, what kind of person is he?"
"I'm just under orders, please raise your noble hand, and make it convenient for us!"
Yu Xi was about to draw her sword, but Sima Chun immediately stepped forward to stop her, gave her a look, and signaled not to be impulsive. Murong Xue also came to persuade her: "Gongzi Zhou is not an unreasonable person, he must have made such a big move, something must have happened." What can be the result of being angry with these Dao boys here, let's ask him face to face!"
Sima Chun pondered for a moment and said to the two: "Then you go to him first to ask the reason, I ...... I'd better check on the guests coming down the mountain. ”
Yu Xi smiled coldly and said: "I don't think I need to! He first asked Hongyuan to inform you to strictly guard the way down the mountain, and then let people close my wine-making workshop, the reason for this is already very clear, this good brother of yours must have caught me again!"
Sima Chun heard her say so coldly and sarcastically, and his heart was like numbness. Thinking of what Zhou Yi has done recently, he couldn't help it, and he stomped his feet in anger!
"That's it, I'll go with you to see him!" he said, he had already strode out of the courtyard gate, and when he walked to Hongyuan's side, he complained in a low voice: "What kind of Lou Zi is this going to stab!
Everyone walked out silently together, no one had the meaning of saying a word, and the care of the maids who came in and out didn't seem to have been heard, and the atmosphere was extremely gloomy!
I had just walked not far when I suddenly saw a maid running over crying, shouting that it was not good!
Sima Chun hurriedly stopped her and asked the reason. The girl said with tears in her eyes, "Madame has been poisoned, and suddenly she will not work!"
"Nonsense!"
Sima Chun grabbed the girl by the collar and lifted her up, his eyes erupting with fire, "You tell clearly, which lady is it, why is it suddenly not working!"
The girl was so frightened by him that she covered her face and cried for a while, and Fang said, "It's Mrs. Zhou!"
When Sima Chun heard this, he was immediately stunned! Yu Xi was even more dumbfounded, his mouth was half open, and he couldn't speak for a long time. Yunnan
"Is that sick, or is it ......"
Looking at the girl's panicked look, thinking that Zhang's illness was not light, coupled with Zhou Yi's series of abnormal actions just now, I was really shocked when I thought about it, especially Yu Xi, who was all thinking about Zhang's body, and his originally annoyed face was suddenly panicked at this moment!
The crowd immediately diverted to Yufu's residence.
Just halfway through, he bumped into Zhou Yi head-on. Yu Xi had already forgotten his hatred with Zhou Yi at this time, and he didn't care about anything, so he greeted him and asked, "Where is Madame now?"
Zhou Yi put his hands behind his back, and when he slowly approached, his dull gaze seemed to have a slight look, and the moment his footsteps stopped, his thoughts suddenly recovered. Sideways and Yu Xi looked at each other, and whispered in her ear, "It's okay." ”
Yu Xi breathed a sigh of relief, but Zhou Yi immediately gave a look and shook his head slightly, obviously not wanting others to know. Although Yu Xi is extremely reluctant to cooperate with him, it is related to Zhang Yufu's safety, and he must not be willful. He pursed his lips and glared at him, and the rest of the account will be settled later.
Sima Chun and Murong Xue were also shocked, and were about to listen to Zhou Yi's explanation, but they were blocked by his words, "Mother was poisoned, and now she is very ill, until the truth is ascertained, no one is allowed to leave Baihe Mountain for half a step! If Hongyuan does not express my meaning clearly, then I reiterate once again that in order to find out the person who poisoned me, I have to temporarily wronged you." If anyone insists on going his own way and stirring up trouble, then what I say today is a rhetoric of saluting first and then soldiering!"
In front of everyone, he was high-spirited and arrogant, and in the eyes of outsiders, what he meant must be undoubted. Sima Chun thought that Yu Xi was going to be angry, but he didn't expect her to look indifferent, and she had an attitude of not caring whether she had it or not, which was really incredible.
Zhou Yi said, came to him again, bowed his hand, and was entrusted, "I have other things that I can't get out, and my second uncle has been unwell recently, please take over the investigation of the pilgrims up and down the mountain for me for the time being, and none of those who have been on the mountain for more than a month can go down the mountain!"
Sima Chun hesitated for a while, but nodded in agreement. looked back at Murong Xue with a confused expression!
"As for the Dao boys I sent, there is really a reason. My mother fell ill suddenly, and in addition to her daily life, the most susceptible place for people to be poisoned was her diet. I asked them to confiscate all the places related to my mother's diet in recent days, and this wine-making workshop naturally included it, not intentionally. Although it was for a reason and suddenly, after all, I didn't ask the girl in advance, please forgive me!" Zhou Yi raised his hand and bowed to apologize.
"Madame's body is important, do you care what these false courtesies do! You are doing this just to repay the truth, and for me and Sister Yu, it is also a powerful proof of striving for innocence!" Murong Xue Yanran said.
"In that case, then I will thank you! What am I going to inquire about next, and if it touches on anyone's position, please don't take it to heart!"
Yu Xi sighed briefly and said in a low voice: "If you have anything you want to ask, come to me at any time, the wine is brewed by me, and it has nothing to do with her!"
Zhou Yi raised the corners of his eyebrows, and said indifferently: "Miss Yu's brightness is convincing, but I have other things to deal with, and I will come to the door to disturb later!"
Sima Chun listened to the conversation between the two, and his heart was relieved, Zhou Yi's move was quite public, and it was unpredictable, which showed that there was a lot of mystery. And Yu Xi's tone changed sharply, except that she was worried about Zhang's condition, the only explanation was that the two were acting.
Yu Xi asked in a low voice, "Can I meet her conveniently?"
"It's not the time yet, I'll come over at night for the specific situation......"
Before he could say a word, he saw a person hurrying at the end of the corridor, his figure was thin and small, but he was angry, which made people shocked.
"Yu Xi! you come out for me!"
Everyone followed the sound and looked at it, and saw that Zhong Yu had led a group of people, and they had arrived in front of them in a blink of an eye. After seeing Yu Xi, she couldn't help but say that several Taoist children with sticks and sticks had surrounded her.
"It's the other way around!"
Zhou Yi scolded angrily, his figure shook, got up and kicked out a few flying feet, and the long stick in Dao Tong's hand flew out together, straight into the brick wall opposite the cloister!
Zhong Yu ran over, pushed Zhou Yi for a while, and cried: "She used poisoned wine to harm her mother, do you still want to excuse her? Where is your filial piety!"
"Mother's business, I will never set fire to anyone involved, nor can I wronged any innocent person!"
When Zhong Yu heard this, he interrupted him first, "Then you mean that she is an innocent person?" She pointed at Yu Xi angrily, and her angry eyes hated to devour her!
"I just want the evidence to do the talking, any guessing out of thin air is pointless in the big picture, and I hope you understand what I mean. ”
Zhong Yu smiled bitterly: "I've been and asked, my mother fell ill after drinking the wine she brewed, and it's also a fact that she wants to leave today, why don't you check her?"
Zhou Yi said: "I have asked people to block all evidence that may have caused my mother's poisoning...... Miss Yu's residence is no exception. As he spoke, he sighed, "The current situation is still under control, and I don't want some unwarranted suspicions to influence the direction of the whole situation, you must be clear about this!"
His words were awe-inspiring, and he already meant to blame her, Zhong Yu wanted to defend again, but saw the magpie coughing lightly on the side. Zhong Yu looked back at her, thought for a moment, and said: "Okay, I believe you, don't forget, now lying on the bed is the mother who gave birth to you and raised you, your filial piety, you must not be blinded by a few sweet words!"
Yu Xi heard it extremely harshly, there was fire in his eyes, he was holding the sword tightly in his hand, and a fire of ignorance was rushing in his heart!
