When You Gui saw that the matter was revealed, his expression did not appear to be panic, but instead he looked calm.
Su Shi didn't say anything and looked at You Gui quietly, because he felt that You Gui's expression was strange.
Anyone whose conspiracy is exposed will be nervous and frightened, but Su Shi can't see these expressions on You Gui's face. Now he behaves like a warrior who is willing to die.
What surprised Su Shi even more was that even when facing Zhou Jin, You Gui seemed neither humble nor overbearing.
Ordinary people could not look directly at the majestic imperial power, but when Zhou Jin looked at him, You Gui did not dodge, his eyes were calm and indifferent.
Zhou Jin suppressed the anger in her heart and asked slowly: "Why are you doing this?"
You Gui smiled faintly: "It's just that everyone is his own master and does his own thing."
"Is your master Pei Xuan?"
"A teacher never calls himself a master. No matter who he faces, he treats everyone as an equal."
Zhou Jin was stunned because she didn't expect You Gui to say such a thing.
At this time, Su Shi couldn't help but sigh and asked, "Have you seen Pei Xuan?"
"I haven't met the teacher yet."
"Did you know he passed away?"
You Gui nodded, with deep sadness on his face: "When I learned that my teacher passed away, it was like the earth was falling apart. I was so drunk that night."
"But you made it through."
"Teacher's last wish has not yet been fulfilled, so naturally he does not dare to feel sorry for himself, nor does he dare to slack off at all."
Su Shi asked casually: "What is your teacher's last wish?"
You Gui did not answer him, but his eyes were full of questions: "Why do you doubt me?"
"A month ago, it was you who overheard our conversation and then spread the content of our conversation."
You Gui did not deny it.
"At that time, I suspected that someone was hiding on the boat."
You Gui looked at Zhou Jin, a little confused: "Why don't you suspect that Her Royal Highness the Princess or General Su lost the secret when arranging the operation?"
Su Shi explained: "Because they would not mention my name at all when arranging the operation, so if the secret was kept secret at that time, your teacher would not know that I was the person behind the scenes."
"Only by eavesdropping on our conversation will we know all this clearly."
Zhou Jin couldn't help but asked: "How did he eavesdrop on our conversation?"
Zhou Jin was very careful at that time. In order to keep it secret, the third floor of Huafang had been completely emptied. Apart from the three of them, there would never be a fourth person. The stairs leading to the third floor were always guarded. Without her permission, no one could be found. Maybe let people come up.
"He didn't even have to go to the third floor of the boat. He could eavesdrop on our conversation in his room."
Zhou Jin looked shocked and couldn't help but stand up: "How is that possible?"
Su Shi thought deeply: "Presumably when the boat was being built, Pei Xun had deliberately placed this eavesdropping device. Its main purpose was to eavesdrop on the prince's remarks. However, after the prince's death, the owner of the boat became the princess, so You Gui’s mission has become to spy on Her Highness the Princess.”
Zhou Jin was so angry that she was shaking all over, and at the same time she felt lingering fear. She didn't expect that her words and deeds could be monitored by others at any time.
She gritted her teeth and asked, "What kind of eavesdropping thing is this?"
"It's just a few hollow bamboo tubes. When they were built, they were embedded in the wall. One end was placed in a hidden part of the study, and the other end was where he lived. When not in use, both ends were covered with the same decoration as the wall. Get up, no one can find out the clues. When you want to eavesdrop, then uncover the decoration."
At this time, he looked at Zhou Jin: "You Gui has been here for more than ten years. His Highness must have great trust in him, so he should be able to come and go freely on the third floor of the boat."
Zhou Jin didn't speak, but her expression undoubtedly showed that Su Shi's guess was correct.
"Furthermore, You Gui is responsible for welcoming guests, so when His Highness invites people to the Huafang to discuss matters, he will be notified in advance and instructed to welcome and send him off. This is exactly what he wants, and he will also act according to His Highness's words, deeds, and invitations. It’s up to the person to decide whether to monitor or not.”
Then he looked at Lin Mo: "What did you find in his room?"
Lin Mo immediately replied respectfully: "After hearing the signal from the young master, I kicked the door and went in, and found that he was sticking to the wall and eavesdropping on the conversation between Her Royal Highness the Princess and the young master. Just as the young master had guessed, using a hollow bamboo Used for eavesdropping. So far, two have been found in his room.”
Su Shi smiled: "The other place is obviously directly connected to the study, and is used to eavesdrop on the movement in the study."
Then he looked at You Gui with a smile: "You will naturally take advantage of your position. When you think it is valuable for eavesdropping, you will arrange the banquet in this room."
You Gui finally sighed: "There are more than a dozen people on this boat. I don't understand why you doubt me?"
"Based on what I know about your teacher, you will do everything carefully before taking action, and you are very cautious and unwilling to leave any clues to arouse suspicion. There are not many ways to monitor from a distance, and the most difficult one is to do it without being noticed. I placed the eavesdropping device, and then I suddenly remembered Du Ziqi's method of killing Bai Jingchao."
"When I figured out how Pei Xun placed the eavesdropping device on the boat without leaving any trace, everything became clear. He did it to monitor the prince's movements from the beginning."
"This shows that this operation has been going on for at least ten years." Su Shi sighed: "Although there are many people working on the boat, you seem to be the only one who has been working here for more than ten years. "
"And last night when I left the boat and stood on the pier to enjoy the night view, I happened to see you going back to your room, and I discovered that the wall next to where you live is Qingyin Pavilion, and Her Royal Highness the Princess' study is above."
"Add these factors together, I don't doubt who else can you doubt?" Then Su Shi smiled and said: "But at that time I was just doubtful. Whether you can confirm my suspicion depends on whether you can tip off the information. If the handkerchief is really If it’s stolen, that means my guess is correct.”
You Guijie praised: "Young Master Su has such a deep city. You admire it. He must have thought that someone was eavesdropping, so he deliberately made the handkerchief very important and said that it contains the book of governing the world written by the prince." The clues are just to lead us to take action.”
Su Shi said calmly: "Actually, I didn't lie. There is a high probability that the handkerchief contains clues to the book written by the prince, and it also records his strategies for governing the world. But now that the book is found, now It’s of no use.”
You Gui couldn't help but asked in surprise: "Why?"
"The so-called time has changed and the prince has passed away. With the current situation of Daqian, can a book really change Daqian?"
Finally, Su Shi looked at You Gui and sighed slightly: "If your teacher was still alive, he would definitely understand this truth and would never take any action."
