Su Jing jumped down from the roof, grabbed the black scarf in Wuzhong's hand, flicked it in front of his nose, and then stuffed it into his arms. She turned around and took the lantern from a guard nearby and shone it back and forth in the corner of the yard for several times. Picking up something at his waist, Chang Yu and the others walked over and took a look. It was a nail dart with a cold light.
"Is it poisonous?" Wu Zhong said and stretched out his hand to take it for a closer look. Su Jing retracted his hand and let him take it. He turned around and walked into the house. Wu Zhong sighed and wanted to follow but Chang Yu pulled him away. Came back: "You don't have any eyesight, do you?"
"There's something wrong with this bitch," Duoji muttered. Wu Zhong turned to look at him, then looked into the room, and then his eyes fell on Chang Yu.
"Duoji is more discerning than you." Chang Yu said with disdain, "I have been hanging around in the world for so long."
Hey, Wuzhong was confused: "What's wrong? I'm having my period..." Before he could finish his words, Kuang Ren covered his mouth: "Come on, don't beep with that bad mouth of yours."
A guard came over in a hurry and said that Du Laozao was at the yamen gate to say hello.
"Tell him well." Chang Yu waved his hand and said, "You didn't scare the boss, did you?"
"I didn't hear any movement in the palace," the guard replied truthfully. Chang Yu hummed and slowly walked into the room with his hands behind his back. Under the candlelight, Su Jing was carefully looking at the two nail escorts. When Chang Yu came in, she didn't even raise her head. .
"An old friend from the Jianghu world?" Chang Yu sat down next to him, poured tea and took a sip and asked calmly.
Su Jing's eyes were still on the two darts: "I have traveled around the world for many years, and I have only enemies and no old friends."
"If you are an enemy, how can you not kill him? If you are not an enemy and have no old friends, then you are an acquaintance?" Chang Yu chuckled and said nothing.
"Is he looking for you or me?" Chang Yu asked again, Su Jing still didn't speak.
Chang Yu stood up and stretched: "Then wait until you want to say what you want to say."
"Are you really that curious to know?" Su Jing slowly raised her head, and Chang Yu walked towards the bedroom, waving his hands without even thinking: "I don't want to know."
Who has no experience, no story, no concern, no regret, no privacy.
Even the so-called monks are unable to overcome their emotions and the ways of the world. He has personally seen Li Muchian crying after being drunk, and he has seen Duoji beating his chest and crying in a deserted place.
It is true that I have never seen Sujing suffer from an emotional breakdown. That is because the nun is so elusive and invisible, but how can a person who has been wandering around the world since childhood not have a story.
The protagonist of tonight's story may not be myself.
Even if it is, there is no need to worry.
It's time to get some sleep.
The light in the plain room was on all night, and she sat alone under the light all night.
The sky was slightly bright, Sujing got up and walked out of the door. Kuang Ren was sitting on the corridor and stood up when he saw her walking out: "Master Sujing."
Su Jing glanced at her coldly and snorted: "Can't you even trust me?"
"It's your duty." Kuang Ren sighed with a helpless smile. He stared at him without saying a word. After a while, he finally sighed: "You are a good person and a loyal person."
Kuang Ren smiled bitterly and said nothing.
"It's on the table, you can go get it yourself," Su Jing said and turned around and entered the bedroom. Kuang Ren walked to the table and picked up the two nail darts under the candlestick. He looked at them carefully and found that there were three words engraved on them, but he only recognized them. A "little" word.
Is it the escort owner’s name or the craftsman’s model number?
Kuang Ren was confused and took the darts to find Wuzhong and Duoji. These two people had been in the world and might know a thing or two about it. However... those two guys didn't even know "little" people! .
Chang Yu lay awake until early in the morning due to the pain. After sleeping for a long time, he got up and felt refreshed. The wound was no longer so painful. When Wu Zhong heard the noise outside, he ran away. Came in: "Su Jing lied".
Well, Chang Yu, who was wiping his face, was startled.
"The assassin last night was not a woman at all, but a man." Wuzhong looked solemn, and Chang Yu raised his eyebrows: "How can you be sure?"
Well, Wu Zhong took out the nail dart: "Kang Ren asked for it from Su Jing early in the morning. It has the name of the assassin on it. I asked the literate people in the yamen and it was the name of a man!"
Oh, Chang Yu's curiosity was aroused. Yesterday, Su Jing picked up the dart without showing it to anyone. He also saw that something was wrong with Su Jing at that time. It must be related to the assassin. Otherwise, with her temperament, she would be too tired to think about it. Killing people, men and women have already been stabbed into holes.
The reason why he didn't get to the bottom of it was because of his trust in Su Jing. Although the nun was extreme, she was absolutely loyal to him. But now Wuzhong said that Su Jing was lying, which surprised him. He took the dart and looked at it carefully. Suddenly, Startled, then burst into laughter.
"Do you recognize the name of the person above?" Chang Yu finally held back his laughter and asked the confused Wuzhong.
"I don't know him, but I asked others and found out if there was any woman named Zhang Xiaoquan."
Chang Yu couldn't help laughing again. Who said a woman can't be called Zhang Xiaoquan, but this Zhang Xiaoquan is indeed a man!
"Does the Governor know this person?" Wu Zhong was startled and then punched his fist: "The Night Demon is indeed lying. Just look at her appearance last night..."
"I don't know him, but he has heard of it." Chang Yu stopped Wuzhong's anger: "But why do you say this escort belongs to Zhang Xiaoquan?"
"Isn't this engraved with his name, and the Governor also said that Xiaoquan is a man..." Wuzhong gestured, and Chang Yu laughed: "Then have you ever thought that this might just be a shop number?" !"
Uh...Wuzhong was stunned.
Chang Yu was stunned just now. Zhang Xiaoquan is a business name. Yes, it is the kitchen knife brand of later generations. It is a real time-honored brand. This business name was founded in the year when Emperor Chongzhen ascended the throne. It has been sixteen or seventeen years, but it is not famous this time. It only had a small reputation in Hangzhou, but during the Qianlong period it became famous all over the world and even became a tribute.
However, this Xiaoquan now specializes in scissors and the like, but I have never heard of him making hidden weapons. Chang Yu looked at the secret dart in his hand. In fact, he only needed to send someone to Hangzhou to hear the news to know the background of the owner of this dart.
Wuzhong was not an idiot either. He came over and whispered, "Send someone to this shop to find out the number?"
Chang Yu glanced at the plain bedroom for a few times, then looked up at the sky. It was overcast, windless, and stuffy.
He nodded slightly: "Hangzhou Dajing Lane".
Wuzhong turned to one of the guards and nodded his chin. The guard handed him over and left, notifying Jin Yiwei or Dongchang Fanzi to go to Hangzhou to investigate.
Su Jing is an extreme person, and no one can force her out of what she doesn't want to say. Moreover, Chang Yu was not curious about the matter at first and didn't want to force her to do it. Wouldn't it be a shame for such a loyal and loyal protector who can fight and kill to just walk away? Big.
Just seeing this familiar business name aroused his interest. In that case, finding out who that person was might also help Su Jing unravel her knot.
After Chang Yu washed up, he went to the front hall. Yuan Jixian was drinking tea with Du Laozao. When he saw Chang Yu coming, he stood up and asked, "Eunuch Chang, was it peaceful last night?" He learned from Du Laozao that there was a night visitor last night. The Yamen was shocked and angry. In fact, he wanted to visit him early in the morning, but Chang Yu had just fallen asleep at that time.
"It's okay." Chang Yu smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Lao is worried." Then he looked at Du Laozao, whose eyes were red and had stayed up all night, and said, "Thank you for your hard work, General Du."
Du Laozao was flattered. He didn't expect the eunuch to be so polite. He was so excited that he couldn't even speak: "No, it's not hard. It's a humble duty. It's a humble honor to protect the Governor..." He imagined in his heart, Will the chief eunuch stay with him for lunch?
No.
Chang Yu asked him to go back and rest. Even so, Du Laozao was still unforgettable and said that he would stand guard for the eunuch all his life.
When it was almost noon, Li Muxian came back, his face was filled with spring breeze, oh no, his face was filled with red light.
"Looking at the Taoist priest's complexion, it seems that he has a close relationship with that master." Chang Yu joked, and Yuan Jixian, who was next to him, left the table knowingly and said he would go to the kitchen to hurry up the meal.
Li Muxian looked proud and sighed in a very pretentious manner: "Well, it's all some bad luck."
Really? Chang Yu chuckled. Li Muchian came over and whispered several times in his ear. Chang Yu said, "It's indeed a bad fate. It's such a deep bad fate. How does the Taoist Master plan to deal with this bad fate?" ".
"Pindao stayed up all night yesterday because of this bad fate. The Governor also saw that Pindao looked a lot more haggard..." Li Muchian was about to pull it off when Wuzhong came in from outside: "Hey, Niubi You look good today. If you didn’t come back last night, did you go to the brothel again to practice double cultivation with the female benefactor..."
Li Muchian was fuming with anger. Normally he would have had to fight with Wuzhong, but now he had business matters. He pretended not to hear Wuzhong's push, and stretched out his finger to make a stroke in front of Chang Yu's eyes: "Two one plus five." how?"
Chang Yu smiled and said nothing. He picked up the tea cup and took a sip. Li Muchian lowered his eyebrows and gritted his teeth: "Okay, I will suffer a little loss, four or six!"
Wu Zhong was confused and frowned: "Niubi, are you ripping me off?"
Chang Yu laughed loudly: "That's not true. Look, it's all a hit on our head."
"No, no, no, how dare you, a poor man?" Li Muchian quickly waved his hand: "That's it, that's all, after all, we used the name of the yamen to continue this relationship, Sanqi is fine."
Hey, Chang Yu sighed, stood up, walked to Li Muchian and pressed him on the chair: "Although our yamen has a big family and a big business, we also have a lot of mouths to eat. We only rely on our family's salary... Hehe, that's all, we'll do it tomorrow." It is much better to resign and go out of the palace to follow the Taoist priest and make a living than to starve to death here."
Uh... Li Muxian lowered his head. Although Chang Yu was joking, he was also telling the truth. Not to mention that Dongchang had recruited so many non-staff people who needed to be fed, the factory guard in Guangdong was just a big hole.
Unlike other emperor's personal guards, all expenses are borne by the treasury. The jurisdiction of the Dongchang Guards is in the Dongchang Yamen. Expenses for food, drink, and toilets also need to be reimbursed by the Dongchang Yamen. The salaries, equipment, bonuses of four to five thousand people... then It’s not a small amount of money! What's more, the Dongchang Yamen itself has countless spies and informants. The entire Yamen has to support itself, and the court does not allocate a penny. This is why sometimes the Dongchang gets some money, and the courtiers turn a blind eye. The reason why he didn’t keep his eyes closed.
"It's just the poor guy who is greedy." Li Muxian sighed: "Okay, 28 is 28."
Chang Yu took a long breath and walked up to Wuzhong, who was still confused: "You have become much stronger these days. You said you only eat and don't work all day... Can't you eat less? You don't know How expensive is food now?"
Wuzhong; "I..."
Li Muxian couldn't sit still any longer: "Sir, you're not going to shoot one or nine, are you? Pindao really put in a lot of effort this time..."
"Taoist priest is upright, okay, I'll do it as you please!" Chang Yu turned around and grabbed Li Muxian's hand: "It's a deal, happy cooperation next time!"
Damn it... Li Muchian began to scold her in her heart. This eunuch was becoming more and more shameless. In the past, they would at least extort money and go for alms together. Now not only do they get something for nothing, but they also have a huge appetite.
