She gave a thumbs up, smiled flatteringly, and brought her talent to the extreme: "You are really amazing, you even have the fragrance of lost souls. I really admire you. Someone who can enter the Department of Internal Health, They are all capable people, why don't you accept me, I will definitely respect you first and foremost."

Han Changmu twitched the corner of his mouth.

What kind of girl is she? Does she know what shyness and reserve are?

Yao Yao looked at Han Changmu's face and smiled slightly.

The most important thing is to save one's life, what is shyness, what is reserve, whether it can be used as money or as food.

The building was already led astray by Yao Yao. Han Changmu had not yet turned around, and followed Yao Yao's words and said, "Okay, Yao Junjun really wants to join the Internal Security Department. There is no room for regret."

Yao Yao choked hard and continued to laugh: "I have been busy all night. I think you are tired. You should rest early. I will take my leave now."

Han Changmu was neither surprised nor angry. He said nothing and just looked at Yao Yao calmly.

A chill ran down Yao Yao's spine and he couldn't move his legs.

Han Changmu raised his lips and continued: "The two of them are actually brothers. This is something I didn't expect. Tell me what else you discovered."

Some things cannot be hidden. As long as he investigates carefully, he can always find out.

Well, blocking is worse than opening up. Since these things must be known to him, it is better for her to tell him the so-called truth and let his thoughts follow her words.

Yao Yao thought for a moment, raised his head and said, "I didn't find anything else in his room, but after the young master asked about it, I discovered something."

Han Changmu said oh and waited for Yao Yao to continue.

Yao Yao paused for a moment and then said hesitantly: "I know the Li Yuqing that the scholar named Li Yuyan mentioned, but I'm not sure whether he is the same person as he said."

Han Changmu became interested, straightened his body, and with all his nonchalance, he nodded and motioned for Yao Yao to continue.

Yao Yao slowly narrated in a clear and coherent manner: "When I was in Yeting, there were more than a dozen little girls of about the same age living in the courtyard. One of them, named Li Yuqing, was five or six years older than me. She was not a sin slave. My origin is that my family was so poor that I couldn’t survive anymore, so the imperial officials bought it back when they went out to buy things from the palace.”

Han Changmu looked at her and closed his eyes. The time in Ye Ting was obviously not so easy to describe.

He did not rush her, and waited for her to calm down before continuing: "Most of the young girls in the yard are bought, some are in the dining room, and some are in the embroidery room. Li Yuqing followed Madam Wu to do embroidery work. I didn't have much contact with her. She was already there when I entered Ye Ting. I only heard her mention that there are two brothers in the family, but she didn't mention their names."

Han Changmu was silent and said, "I checked your details and found that you were in charge of laundry in Yeting at the time. It's true that you didn't have much contact with her."

The thin book clearly stated that Yao Yao was three years old when she entered Yeting. Han Changmu could not imagine how a three-year-old girl had to wash her clothes in basin after basin, and how she endured the bitter cold in the twelfth lunar month of winter. cold water.

But he didn't remember that Li Yuqing's name was on the thin book. This was not surprising. The thin book was recorded according to the time he entered the palace. Li Yuqing entered the palace earlier than Yao Yao. Naturally, it was impossible to remember them together. He didn't see it, so it was also normal.

Yao Yao subconsciously rubbed her hands. Before winter, her joints had begun to swell and ache, and her skin was a little red.

She sighed, maybe this was the rheumatism that doctors often talked about in her previous life.

She regained her composure, and there was a hint of unknown pain in her words: "Later, in the month when I entered the Sixteenth Guards, Li Yuqing was found to have committed suicide by throwing herself into the lake."

"Thrown herself into a lake?" Han Changmu whispered in surprise: "Why is it so good? She would throw herself into a lake. How old was she when she died?"

Yao Yao calculated carefully: "She was about eight or nine years old when I entered Yeting. In the fourth year of Yong'an, she was already twelve or thirteen years old."

Han Changmu remained silent and pursed his lips.

A 12 or 13-year-old Ye Ting palace maid was a very humble existence. How could she commit suicide by drowning herself in a lake?

Yao Yao lowered his head, then raised his head in a flash, trying to look calmer, and his voice sounded calm: "Master, this is all I know. If there is nothing else, I will go back first."

Han Changmu didn't ask Yao Yao to leave, but narrowed his eyes slightly, his eyes as cold as ice.

She seemed to be frank, but she actually hid a lot. But to him, this concealment was just a feeling and had no proof.

He tapped the table with his fingers, his brows furrowed and then relaxed.

There are clear distinctions in the Yeting. Those who were purchased from outside and those who were imprisoned in the palace due to crimes lived separately, and their errands were arranged completely differently.

He had no mood swings and said calmly: "I checked and found that there are eight Yeting sin slaves who entered the Sixteenth Guards with you, but there are only two girls, one is you and the other is named Sanya." He paused, his words were sharp, and he pressed forward step by step: "It is written in the book that the girl is the same age as you, both are seven years old."

Yao Yao suddenly let out a sigh of relief.

It seems that the Sixteenth Guards are really thorough and cautious when doing things, and even the Internal Security Department has not been able to find out too many inside stories.

She was not the same age as the girl. She entered Yeting at the age of five, but soon her age was deliberately changed to two years younger. And that Sanya was simply a person fabricated by the Sixteenth Wei.

She was trained inhumanely by the Sixteenth Guards. The more dangerous the terrain, the more calm she became. She said calmly: "There was such a girl, but she was young at the time and can't remember clearly."

Han Changmu glanced at Yao Yao deeply: "Nine children escaped from the wolf's mouth, just two of you. Don't you remember her?"

Yao Yao sighed: "Maybe I was so scared that I forgot."

Han Changmu's original intention was to beat Yao Yao and tell her clearly that he knew she was hiding something and would eventually find out. If she was a smart person, she would either wipe it clean before he found out or confess before he found out.

But she is really stubborn, she forgets a sentence clumsily, and she doesn't even bother to find excuses to distance herself.

She was not a prisoner in the Guards' cell, nor was she the Guard in his hands.

She couldn't be arrested, tortured, or interrogated. Even the Lost Soul Incense was useless on her.

He raised his eyelids, his eyes becoming colder and deeper, like the torture tools in the inner guard's prison, falling on Yao Yao: "The selection of the Sixteenth Guards is strict and the training is cruel. It is not easy for you to survive." , it is even more rare to be able to escape from the Sixteenth Guards intact."

Yao Yao smiled: "I'm not the only one who can survive, and I'm not the only one who can leave."

Han Changmu's eyes flashed: "So, what about Sanya? She didn't stay or leave. In the Sixteenth Guards, it's like she never existed."

Yao Yao closed his eyes, feeling a struggle and pain in his heart.

Among the Sixteen Guards, there are many ways to make people disappear silently. Even Han Changmu is a capable person, but it is wishful thinking to find out things that the Sixteen Guards don't want people to know and to pry her mouth open. .

That Sanya and the Sixteenth Guards did not intend for her to exist. It was an accident, an accident in the eyes of the Sixteenth Guards.

Yao Yao was silent and said with a smile: "Everyone in the Sixteen Guards has a file to investigate. If you have the means, you can do it."

Han Changmu's face looked a little ugly.

Check, it would be strange to find out that the thin books of everyone in the Sixteen Guards were all destroyed when that person disappeared.

Except for Sanya, the other seven named sin slaves who entered the Sixteenth Guards with Yao Yao were all dead and could not be traced at all.

It was just a coincidence that he could find that Sanya.

In the fourth year of Yong'an, after a group of palace ladies were released from the palace, the number of palace ladies left behind in Ye Ting was different from what was recorded in the book.

Eleven years have passed, and now it is the fifteenth year of Yong'an. Many thin books have been lost.

But he paid attention, but he paid attention. After comparing them one by one, he found that there were a few missing maids. One of them was called Sanya. Her origin was unknown, her appearance was unknown, and her whereabouts were unknown. She only jotted down her age, which looked very similar to hers. In a hurry, someone later added such a person.

But Yao Yao's situation was remembered in detail in the thin book, but after that time, all records about Sanya disappeared.

This person completely disappeared from Yeting, from Sixteenth Guards, and from this world, as if he had never appeared before.

What kind of secrets does an insignificant, seven-year-old palace maid carry? It requires people to go to great lengths to destroy all traces of her future existence.

It's just trying to cover up.

Han Changmu raised his eyelids, and there was something in his words: "How do you know how to clip a crossbow? You are in Jingzhao Mansion, so you shouldn't know the secrets in the weapons prison."

Yao Yao's eyes were calm and indifferent, and he said softly, half truthfully and half falsely: "It was just a sentence that I heard occasionally when I was running errands. I never took it seriously. Only when I saw it that night did I realize that such a powerful weapon is not a legend. "

Han Changmu suddenly felt tired, even more tired than when he was interrogating ten or eight criminals and giving them a beating.

He waved his hand and told Yao Yao to get out of here. One more words to her would make her angry to death. It was like punching cotton. She couldn't use any strength. It was better to let her go. There will be plenty of opportunities to deal with it slowly in the future. , afraid that if he kept asking like this, he would not be able to help but strangle her to death.

The guilt I felt because I kicked her instead of catching her disappeared.

As for pity for beauty, don't be ridiculous, that doesn't exist.

I pity the beauty, I pity the beauty, she is Yaksha.

In the past half month, Hexi has not been peaceful. The imperial court mobilized troops frequently. The Dunhuang general's mansion was brightly lit all night, and the horses galloped in the beacon post, and orders were sent constantly.

First, the five thousand Yumen Army stationed in Suzhou moved into the area of ​​Sanwei Mountain and Mingsha Mountain in Shazhou. Later, 200 armored soldiers were transferred from the army and stationed at the Fengyi Posthouse within a radius of dozens of miles outside Dunhuang City. Even the Dunhuang garrison increased its troops by 300.
