Yang Wenshu stood on the hillside of Cangyan Mountain, looking into the distance with a worried look on his face. Feng Ke followed his gaze and saw that the water on the lake was calm, and there were more than ten boats of various sizes docked on the shore.
"What are you looking at?"
Yang Wenshu pointed to the tallest and largest boat docked on the shore.
Feng Ke deliberately teased: "You want to visit the lake? I heard it's very expensive."
"There are people on that boat who have been hiding on the boat for thirteen years."
Feng Ke didn't show any surprise.
But Yang Wenshu sighed again: "But he should have been exposed by now."
This sentence surprised Feng Ke: "He has been hiding for more than ten years without incident, why is he exposed this time?"
"Because of Su Shi."
"It's him again!" Feng Ke exclaimed: "What's going on?"
"The deacon only got the news today. Su Shi seemed to have unlocked the secret of the handkerchief last night, and told Princess Pingle on the boat, and was overheard by him. So he immediately passed the news to the palace, and the secret of the handkerchief was hidden in the palace. In desperation, the man had no choice but to take a desperate risk and steal the handkerchief before Princess Pingle came back."
Feng Ke looked puzzled: "Since the handkerchief was stolen in the palace, why didn't Princess Pingle track it down in the palace, but instead tracked the people on the boat?"
Yang Wenshu shook his head: "I don't know either. The urgent letter the deacon gave me only said, 'You Gui fell into a trap. Move him quickly. If things cannot be done, don't force it. Take care of yourself.' But when I arrived here , Princess Pingle and Su Shi have already boarded the boat, and no one is allowed to get on or off. I think You Gui has been discovered by them, and maybe they are interrogating him now."
Feng Ke frowned slightly: "What should we do now?"
Yang Wenshu was silent for a while and said slowly: "Since the deacon did not ask me to force anything, either he trusts You Gui and believes that he will not reveal any confidential information, or the deacon has made arrangements and is not afraid of You Gui's confession. "
On the boat, Zhou Jin had calmed down, but there was still one thing she didn't understand.
"After I got the news, I didn't waste a moment on the road. Why were they able to get there first?"
"The carrier pigeon." Su Shi revealed the secret: "No matter how fast your carriage is, I believe it can't be faster than the carrier pigeon."
Zhou Jin shook his head: "If You Gui was raising homing pigeons on the boat, people should have discovered it long ago and aroused suspicion."
Su Shi looked at You Gui, then looked sideways at Zhou Jin: "The carrier pigeons should be kept elsewhere. When he learned that we found the secret on the handkerchief, he immediately got off the boat and released the carrier pigeons, and then hurried back. "
Having said this, Su Shi looked at You Gui again: "If you had been on the ship at that time, you would not have been confused about Her Royal Highness's departure, and your steps would not have seemed so hurried."
Then Su Shi looked a little regretful: "If you weren't so anxious, just keep listening. In fact, the next words are the key point."
Not only You Gui, but also Zhou Jin was shocked.
"Did you tell him what we talked about later?"
Su Shi hurriedly explained: "The main thing is to give His Highness an explanation. Of course, it would be best if they can hear it."
"Why?"
"I said that if Pei Xuan was here, he would definitely know the power of capital and would definitely take action. But once Pei Xuan dies, they will only take action when they truly feel threatened, but by then it is already too late. ”
This sentence made Zhou Jin confused: "Isn't this a good thing?"
Su Shi shook his head solemnly: "Not good, not good at all."
Zhou Jin was even more confused: "Why?"
Su Shi was just silent for a while. Zhou Jin didn't know whether he didn't want to speak out because of You Gui's presence, or whether he was worried, so he didn't ask any more questions and turned to You Gui again.
At this time, her willow eyebrows stood up, her almond-shaped eyes widened, and she asked sternly: "Who is hiding in the palace and stealing the handkerchief?"
This shouting question showed the majesty of the royal family, and Xiaolan and Lin Mo couldn't help feeling frightened in their hearts.
However, You Gui, who has always been cautious and obedient in front of others, did not change his expression when he heard this question, his eyes were indifferent,
Zhou Jin became even more angry and shouted angrily: "Aren't you afraid of death?"
You Gui smiled faintly: "People are not afraid of death, so why should they be afraid of death?"
As soon as these words came out, Zhou Jin looked at You Gui in shock, not because he said these words, but because she could see that You Gui was telling the truth.
Are there really people in this world who are not afraid of death?
Zhou Jin couldn't believe it, but had to believe it.
Su Shi had been paying attention to You Gui's reaction. At this time, he was far more shocked than Zhou Jin.
After a long time, he took a deep breath, looked directly into You Gui's eyes, and suddenly asked: "Do you know a person named Zhao Liang?"
You Gui thought about it seriously and shook his head: "I don't know him. Who is he?"
"He's a coachman."
You Gui replied affirmatively: "I have never heard of this name."
No one would have thought that Su Shi would ask such a strange question at this time. Zhou Jin looked at Su Shi doubtfully, only to find that Su Shi's expression became more serious and serious than ever.
Even when he found out that the prince was murdered, his expression was not as serious as now.
Su Shi still refused to give up and continued: "Zhao Liang is probably in his thirties, not tall and thin..."
However, You Gui interrupted him coldly: "If you don't know me, you don't know me. Mr. Su, there's no need to waste any more words."
Faced with You Gui's sarcastic words, Su Shi didn't feel the slightest anger, but hesitated.
"You have followed Her Highness the Princess for so many years. I guess you understand Her Highness's character. You should know that you can survive."
You Gui rarely showed an expression of approval and sighed: "Your Highness the Princess is pure and kind, I admire you very much." Then he said sternly: "You only ask me to betray others in order to survive. Please forgive me that I can't do it."
Seeing You Gui being so stubborn, Zhou Jin was filled with anger and was about to speak, but at this moment Su Shi shook his head slightly at her. After Zhou Jin suppressed the anger in his heart, Su Shi said to Lin Mo: "You first Take him down and watch him carefully, but don't force him."
Although Lin Mo was full of doubts, he still followed his orders.
After Lin Mo left, Su Shi fell into deep thought, because he had many questions that he needed to think clearly.
Zhou Jin did not disturb him. Although Su Shi's words and actions today were a bit strange, she still believed in Su Shi.
And she also knew that Su Shi had encountered a problem, because she could feel the contradictions and hesitations in Su Shi's heart.
But she didn't understand why Su Shi felt conflicted and why he was hesitating.
Su Shi thought for a long time. When he woke up, Zhou Jin found that he didn't seem to open his mind.
At this time, Su Shi's face also showed a hint of apology.
"I know you have a lot of questions, but there are some things I haven't figured out until now, so I can't give you answers yet."
