Chapter 13 The Palace is Deep 6

The two came to the mansion, and by the moonlight they passed through the Chengfeng Division, the slaughterhouse, the stable, and the granary, all the way to the north, passing through the carrier gate and the Yuanluan Palace, and then they came to the main mansion. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Gu Yuecong asked, "Where are we going?" Ouyang Long'er said, "I don't know either." The two happened to walk in front of the family temple, and Ouyang Long'er pulled Gu Yuecong into the house and said, "Brother Gu, you also kowtow." Gu Yue Cong knew that she had already regarded herself as a dear person, so she also knelt down, and the two kowtowed in front of the ancestral tablet, and then stood up. After a while, Gu Yuecong asked, "Where does the Eighth Prince usually discuss matters on weekdays?" Ouyang Long'er pointed ahead and said, "That's it." Then the two went west through the palace gate, and came to a house, and in the darkness they could not see what this place was, and when they pushed the door, they saw that the door was locked, and the two jumped on the roof of the house, and opened the tiles and entered.

When he arrived in the room, Ouyang Long'er said, "Did you bring a fire fold?" Gu Yuecong said: "The outside of the house is patrolling, so it's better to be careful." Ouyang Long'er said: "This place is located in the center of the north of the house, even if it is a gong and fireworks, they may not be able to hear it." Gu Yuecong thought about it reasonably, took the fire fold and lit the candle.

The house is full of calligraphy and paintings, no less than 10,000 volumes, the east and west walls are stacked neatly, there are two books on a mahogany case in the north head, one on the right is "Qi Min's Technique", one on the left is "Salt and Iron Theory", a page spread out is "Pipe? Light and Heavy", the page is full of red pen circles, almost no dust, it is obvious that the eighth prince has only read it not long ago. Gu Yuecong looked at the room full of books and sighed: "The eighth prince has been doing business all over the world, and he has to read thousands of books, which is really amazing." Ouyang Long'er said: "Daddy's ability is not only to read and trade, his attainments in music, calligraphy and painting, architecture, astronomy and geography are extraordinary, when I was a child, my father wanted me to study more, but I couldn't calm down." Speaking of this, his eyes turned red, and he suddenly didn't continue, and after a long time, Fang said: "Even if I want to learn now, my father can't teach me." Gu Yuecong comforted: "Nie Guifei also said that the emperor must have his reasons for doing this, and the eighth prince will definitely be fine." Ouyang Long'er nodded, and said leisurely: "When I was very young, my father often said to me: 'Our Sun family wants to do business all over the world, from the east to Dongying, to the west to Persia, and to the north and the south, there must be a store of our Sun family. Later, my father made up a little poem that I must remember, 'I went to two or three miles, there were four or five shops, six or seven merchants, and eight or nine belonged to the Sun family.' Speaking of this, Yingying tears rolled in her eyes again. Gu Yuecong said: "This song "Yonghuai in the Mountain Village" was written by Song Shaoyong, and the eighth prince filled in and changed it so that it was convenient for you to memorize it when you were young. Ouyang Long'er said: "The father you said also told me many times, although I don't like to read, but my father often told me, I remembered, and later I learned that this Shao Yongzi Kangjie is a Taoist everyone, and everyone used to call him Shao Kangjie at that time." Gu Yuecong smiled: "You don't know anything about reading." Ouyang Long'er swung his powder fist at Gu Yuecong's shoulder, crying and laughing: "Whoever has the heart to be a vassal with you, let's quickly find out what we find." The two searched for a while, but they had no clue, and Ouyang Long'er said, "It's strange, brother emperor...... Since the emperor has sealed my house, why hasn't anything in the palace been moved?" Seeing Gu Yuecong looking at her blankly, he continued: "You don't know, but whenever the emperor orders the house to be seized, the family's property must be returned to the treasury, but just now we have come all the way, but we have not seen one thing missing, and this study is the same." Gu Yuecong said: "This further confirms that the emperor's move is not really to put the eighth prince in the prison, there must be another deep ......" The word "meaning" was not spoken, and he suddenly blew out the lamp and candle, and said in a low voice: "Someone is coming." Ouyang Long'er said, "Where?" Gu Yuecong didn't know who was coming, so he stretched out his hand and lightly covered Ouyang Long'er's mouth.

After a while, Guo heard a click on the pane of the study, and a soft sound came from outside the door, and one of them said: "My father-in-law has an order, no clues must be left, you two, go and move the stairs." Although the voice was deliberately lowered, it could be heard that he was a eunuch.

Both of them were shocked, Ouyang Long'er subconsciously leaned close to Gu Yuecong's side, and said in a trembling voice: "There are ghosts!" Gu Yuecong leaned close to Ouyang Long'er's ear and said, "Don't speak, these people's martial arts are not low." Ouyang Long'er said: "They seem to be coming in." Gu Yuecong said: "Is there a hiding place in this house?" Ouyang Long'er said: "Daddy's study is not allowed to outsiders to enter at will on weekdays, and I don't like to come here to play." While talking, I only heard someone put a ladder in the north, and went to the roof in an instant, and then heard three sounds of rolling and rolling, someone uncovered the roof tiles, Gu Yuecong saw the hazy moonlight penetrating in, and didn't have time to think about it, pulled up Ouyang Long'er and quietly hid behind the bookshelf, and opened the curtain to cover it.

Only heard a few sounds of shuttles, someone has been knotted from the roof of the rope down, and after a while lit the lamp and candle in the house, Gu Yuecong looked through the curtain, only to see four people standing in the light and shadow, one of them a eunuch with a rickety back looked around, and suddenly "Huh", another small eunuch asked: "What do you command?" The old eunuch said: "Something is wrong, this candle has residual warmth." The other three snorted, all of them exclaimed, and one said: "It's not good, the house is full of candle smoke, someone has just come." The eunuch in the house was flustered, only to hear the old eunuch say: "Friends in the house, please show up." I didn't see anyone appear for a long time, so I waved my hand and said, "Search." The three eunuchs immediately searched around.

In the candlelight, Gu Yuecong saw that although this study was large, it could not hide people, and thought: "Although they don't recognize me, they must recognize Long'er, if Long'er searches for them, won't there be one more charge of the eighth prince." Thinking of this, he reached out and pressed Ouyang Long'er, signaling her not to make a slight move, and walked out of the curtain alone.

The eunuchs had expected that there were people in the house, but when they saw that Gu Yuecong suddenly walked out after the bookshelf, they were still shocked, and the old eunuch's eyes were full of light, and when he saw that Gu Yuecong was not a slave in the palace, the corners of his mouth grinned faintly, and said: "It turned out to be a thief, which is also troublesome." ”

Gu Yuecong only saw clearly at this time that the old eunuch had a sallow face, hunched back and bent back, all of them seemed to be weak, and the other three little eunuchs were all fourteen or fifteen years old, and guessed: "They sneaked in from the roof, and it was obvious that they also sneaked in." After thinking about it for a while, he had already calculated it, leaned on the bookshelf on the side, and said with a slight smile: "The emperor is like a god, you are really here." The old eunuch was stunned for a moment, and then said coldly: "What did you expect?" Gu Yuecong said: "The emperor has decreed that this mansion will be sealed, no matter who is not allowed to enter, presumably the four of them already know?" The four of them all glanced at each other, and the old eunuch said: "What do you know, what do you know, who are you?" Gu Yuecong said: "I am me, who are you?" The old eunuch smiled gloomily: "Your Excellency has a life, it seems that you are not from the palace?" The emperor was far-sighted, and expected that someone would break into the palace at night, so he ordered me to wait here, and once I found someone entering the palace, I would immediately arrest him. The four of them were all taken aback, and a little eunuch couldn't help but say, "My lord, what should I do?" The old eunuch glared at the little eunuch, then laughed and said: "What are you afraid of, there are all our people outside, even if this kid is the emperor's person, he wants to hold us alone, and he is arrogant." The three little eunuchs said in unison, "Please command." The old eunuch said: "Kill this kid, and then unknowingly transport the corpse out of the palace, even if the emperor knows that the person he sent is dead, he doesn't know who did it." The words fell, his hands trembled slightly, and his left hand poked out with a palm.
