When it was ugly, there were no stars and no moons, and they started a new round of searching. Four black shadows shuttled like the wind on the rows of eaves, the sound of stepping on the tiles was softer than that of a tanuki, and the shining eyes were brighter than a tanuki. The night clothes on his body were completely submerged in the night, and it was difficult to distinguish even if he stood in front of him.

They crouched over the third chamber of the main courtyard and looked down. They have been here many times and are still cautious. The main courtyard is the largest courtyard in the palace, and there are two lanterns in front of each small courtyard. There was a thick layer of dust in the lantern paper, and the light was not bright, only illuminating two feet in front of the door. There is a fish pond dug in the middle of the courtyard, and the largest courtyard in the north lives in Yeluying, and the lights in the courtyard are constantly lit all night, because Yeluying's eyes are not good when he is old, and he does not see anything at night, so there must be light.

Three days ago, Luo Tianchu and Zhu Yushi searched his bedroom, and were carefully lifting the wardrobe to check if there was a secret door behind it. Fortunately, Yeluying's eyes were not good, and he didn't notice that the wardrobe was moved, and he continued to go to bed after peeing, which was also the most thrilling time.

The three small courtyards in the east live Ye Lu Ying's concubines, these three ladies live in a simple place, it is difficult to see during the day, only once in the study, Liu Shaoqing and Ye Lu Ying are commenting on calligraphy, the third lady Zhang happened to come to get a copy of the "Diamond Sutra", saw that there were outsiders present, hurriedly gave a gift and left. These three ladies have their own preferences, the second lady likes pen and ink Danqing, the third lady likes Buddhist scriptures and Zen rituals, and the fourth lady loves poetry. Yeluying's interest has greatly decreased in recent years, and he has not had sex with them for several months, and the three ladies are also happy to be leisurely, often reading and writing until late at night. When Liu Shaoqing searched their rooms, he found that their works were of a very high standard, and it seemed that Yeluying rarely communicated with them, otherwise why would he ask himself to evaluate calligraphy and painting.

They lay on their stomachs on the roof for another quarter of an hour, and only went their separate ways when they were sure they were safe. Zhao Hengshan and Liu Shaoqing went to search the two empty rooms in the west, and Luo Tianchu and Zhu Yushi continued to search for Yeluying's courtyard. His courtyard was the residence of the Liao Shengzong back then, and it was most likely that there was a secret passage. The two of them gently jumped from the roof into the small courtyard, squatted behind a bush, and slowly moved towards the main house. As he was walking, Luo Tianchu suddenly noticed an inconspicuous curved path deep in the bushes, almost covered with weeds. He pulled Zhu Yushi's sleeve and pointed to the trail, "Let's go there and have a look first." Zhu Yushi nodded and walked with him to the depths. The two of them went deeper and deeper, and unconsciously came to the back of the main house, and looked around, and found that there was another hidden path to the west, leading to a small abandoned courtyard. When they entered the ruined courtyard, they saw several warehouses and a dilapidated stove house, but in the middle of it stood a lonely wooden house in the open ground. The wooden house is very new, the wooden doors are intact, the paint is bright, there are no holes in the window paper, and the weeds around it have been pulled out, apparently taken care of.

Luo Tianchu said in a low voice: "This house is a little strange, let's go in and take a look, maybe there will be a harvest." The two came to the front of the house, saw that the door was not latched, and gently pushed the door in, Luo Tianchu just took a step, and suddenly said vigilantly: "Huh? Zhu Yushi said in a low voice: "Are you too nervous?" Luo Tianchu said: "Let's take a look first." After entering the house, the door was closed, and the two of them took a look at the things in the house.

This wooden house is a sacrificial hall, and the incense table is placed with spiritual tablets and incense burners. In the center is a life-size female statue, carved from sandalwood, polished, waxed and colored, and the female statue is lifelike, like a living person. The statue is a noble lady of the Liao Kingdom, graceful manners, noble clothes, placed high on a lotus stone pier, at first glance I thought it was Guanyin. The spirit tablet is written in Jurchen characters "Beloved Wife Uighur Clan's Spirit Seat" Luo Tianchu thought that the Uighur clan must be the biological mother of the county lord, no wonder there will be a sacrificial hall, and the incense is continuous. He felt a little disappointed, this room was built after Yeluying moved in, and there should be no secret way to hide the treasure, so he said, "Let's look elsewhere." Zhu Yushi said: "Since you are here, you should search for it." Otherwise, the clue will be missed. ”

Luo Tianchu nodded in agreement, and the two of them touched along the wall, there was nothing abnormal, and when they were about to leave, Zhu Yushi suddenly had a whim, planning to see if there was a mechanism hidden on the wooden statue. He jumped on the lotus stone pier, started to touch it from his feet, and said as he touched it: "This statue is made of sandalwood, and the incense is tight, if it is burned with fire, the smell will be the same as in the temple." At this moment, I suddenly heard someone behind me say angrily: "Stop! Don't bully my mother's statue!" Suddenly, the curtain under the incense case moved, and someone came out from under the table, it was Yeluqi. She stared at the two of them with her eyes full of vigilance.

Whenever Yeluqi encounters something good or bad, she will come here to confide in the wooden statue to ask for her mother's blessing. She felt sleepy after praying this time, so she leaned on the stone lotus to take a nap, as if she was not sleeping, when she heard the wooden door open, she was taken aback, thinking that her father had already fallen asleep, who would come to her mother's sacrificial hall, could it be a thief? Her aura immediately aroused Luo Tianchu's vigilance, and then she spoke. When she heard that it was Lin Xiuwen, her murderous aura suddenly disappeared, and she aroused her curiosity, wanting to see what they were doing here, so she lifted the divine curtain and hid under the table, and used Luo Tianchu to teach her the concealment method during the day, closed her eyes, restrained her breath, and imagined that she was a stone and a big tree. This trick really worked, Luo Zhu and the others didn't notice it, and she heard every word she said clearly. When he heard that Zhu Yu was going to search his mother's wooden statue, he couldn't help but show up to stop it.

Now that they have been arrested, the two of them are at a loss. Luo Tianchu was in a state of confusion, and with a hint of luck, he reluctantly smiled: "County ...... County Lord, why haven't you rested so late?" he secretly hoped that Yeluqi had been sleeping under the desk just now, and had not heard anything. Yeluqi said coldly: "This sentence is about to ask you, what are you doing in the middle of the night at my mother's sacrifice hall?" Luo Tianchu said: "I...... We can't sleep, we walked here, why is His Royal Highness the county lord here?" The corners of Yeluqi's mouth flashed a mocking smile, looked at the two of them with an unfamiliar eye, and said lightly: "This county lord has always respected you as chivalrous, but I didn't expect you to be a thief, the only difference is that you thieves are clever and have a big appetite." My father also said that you are not greedy for fame and fortune, and you are worthy of the peerless countrymen, but I don't know that what you fancy is not the hundred taels of gold on the tray at all, but the treasure of my Daliao!"

After saying the last sentence, a terrifying anger shot out of her eyes, and only now did she understand that it was just a hoax, and she was more disappointed than angry. Luo Zhu and the others just stood and listened to her reprimand, unable to utter a word. They are unreasonable in their righteous words, just like a criminal who knows his mistake and is waiting for the final verdict. (To be continued.) )
