Chu Shizheng arranged Yan Han in a secluded house. Yan Han hid in the house every day and did not dare to go out. Over time, he would inevitably become bored, but he had no choice but to endure it silently.
On this day, Yan Han was lying on the bed, bored and thinking, when he suddenly heard a few knocks on the courtyard door. He thought someone was bringing him food and vegetables, so he got up from the bed and walked to the yard. Yan Han opened the courtyard door and took a look. There was a woman standing outside the door. She was wearing a pink dress... This woman was Chu Shizheng's wife, named Lou Dai'er.
When Yan Han saw Lou Dai'er, he was pleasantly surprised: "Why are you here?" Lou Dai'er put an onion-like jade finger to her red lips and said "shush", looked left and right, and then walked in . Yan Han closed the door, looked at Lou Dai'er and said, "How do you know I'm here?" Lou Dai'er pouted and said, "Of course that damn guy told me."
Lou Daier was once the number one in the "Chun Yu Tower" in Qinzhou City. When Lou Dai'er was in Chunyu Tower, Yan Han was her guest. Chu Shizheng coveted her beauty and spent hundreds of taels of silver to have sex with her, creating a "golden house hidden beauty". However, Lou Daier is a fireworks woman, how can she endure loneliness? As time went on, he secretly communicated with Yan Han again.
Yan Han stepped forward and hugged Lou Daier, and the two walked into the house hugging each other. Yan Han closed the door of the room, and the two of them couldn't wait to undress and take off their belts, and then went to Wushan together. After some talk, Yan Han hugged Lou Dai'er contentedly, patted her bare arm with one hand, and said, "If General Chu finds out, we must be killed!" Lou Dai'er curled her lips and said: "He is allowed to have three wives and four concubines, but he is not allowed to have a sweetheart?" Yan Han laughed twice and said, "Next time you come, bring me some delicious food." Lou Dai'er raised her hand The little head looked at him and said, "They didn't bring you anything to eat?" Yan Han cursed and said, "Every day I eat a simple meal, which makes me lose my appetite."
"All right."
Li Zhiyun ordered the entire city to hunt down the suspect whose cheek was scratched. The government officials did catch a few people, but the faces of those people were scratched by their wives during a fight at home, and they were not the people they were looking for.
In the evening, Li Zhiyun called Zhang Zheng and Cai Hu to his guest room to discuss the case with them. He asked Zhang Zheng: "Is there anything unusual about Zhang Gui recently?" Zhang Zheng shook his head and said: "No." Cai Hu said: "Your Majesty, when we came here, not long after we came here, two murder cases happened one after another. This Qizhou City It’s really a gust of evil wind!”
Li Zhiyun said thoughtfully: "The letter conspiracy case, the tunnel murder case, and the murder case of Li Er seem to be three different cases, but I always feel that there should be some connection between these three cases. Zhang Zheng looked at him and said, "What's the connection?" Li Zhiyun shook his head and said, "We don't know yet. However, I believe that if we find out the connection, everything will come to light."
Li Zhiyun was busy investigating cases all day and had no time to accompany Liu Yinglian. Liu Yinglian was bored in the post house, so she took her maid and called Aunt Ying, and the three of them went shopping together.
After strolling around the shop, they walked to another street. The street is not too wide and there are relatively few pedestrians. The three of them were talking and laughing while walking. When they turned a corner, Yinggu accidentally bumped into someone. It was a woman in red clothes, holding a food box in her hand. The woman was hit and screamed "Ouch" and dropped the food box to the ground.
The woman hurriedly knelt down, opened the lid of the food box and took a look. Then she raised her head and glanced at Aunt Ying, complaining: "Look at you, you are so frizzy, you even spilled the vegetable soup." Aunt Ying said quickly. : "I'm sorry, how much is it? I'll pay it to you." The woman closed the food box again, picked up the food box and stood up, saying coldly: "No need." After that, she walked away.
The three of them looked at her leaving figure. Aunt Ying admired: "She is so beautiful." Liu Yinglian frowned and whispered softly: "She is very suspicious." Upon hearing this, Aunt Ying looked at Liu Yinglian in surprise and said "Why? Why is she suspicious?" Liu Yinglian said methodically: "She walked in a panic and turned around from time to time, as if she was afraid of being discovered, so she bumped into you. Moreover, when she opened the food box just now, I I saw that in addition to two bowls of dishes, there was also a jug of wine. Apparently, she was delivering food to a certain man. I heard from the prince that there was a suspect with a scratched cheek hiding somewhere, and he has not been found until now. . Tell me, isn't she suspicious?" After hearing this, Aunt Ying said excitedly: "Then let's follow her and see who she delivers food to." Liu Yinglian nodded and said, "Okay."
The three people followed the woman and saw her turn two corners, knock on the door of a house, and then walk in. The three of them quietly walked to the door of the courtyard, only to find that the door was closed. Liu Yinglian leaned against the crack in the door and peered inside, but couldn't see anything.
They walked half a circle around the house. When Gu Ying saw a tree beside the wall of the house with lush branches and leaves, she lowered her voice and said, "I'll climb up the tree to have a look." Liu Yinglian was surprised: "You can climb trees?" Gu smiled and nodded.
Aunt Ying often played with boys when she was a child, and she even competed with Li Zhiyun in tree climbing. I saw her rolling up her sleeves and climbing up the tree neatly with her hands and feet, as nimble as a monkey. Liu Yinglian and the maid looked up, covering their mouths and laughing.
Yinggu climbed to a tree branch and had a panoramic view of everything in the yard. She lowered her head and nodded to Liu Yinglian, then pointed towards the door with her hand. Liu Yinglian understood and asked the maid to hide. She walked to the door of the yard and knocked hard on the door.
In the room, Yan Han sat at a square table, munching on the sauced donkey meat brought by Lou Dai'er, and drinking wine while Lou Dai'er sat opposite and drank tea. Suddenly, they heard someone knocking on the door, and they looked at each other in surprise. Lou Dai'er was worried: "Who will come here?" Yan Han shook his head and said, "I don't know. You go hide inside first, and I'll open the door." Upon hearing this, Lou Dai'er stood up and hid in the back room. Yan Han wiped his greasy mouth with the back of his hand, stood up and walked to the yard.
Hidden among the dense branches and leaves, Yinggu saw a man walking into the yard with obvious scratches on his cheek. Outside the courtyard gate, Liu Yinglian put her ear against the crack of the door. When she heard footsteps coming from the courtyard, she quickly ran to hide behind a big tree opposite.
Yan Han opened the door to the yard and found no one outside. He stuck his head out and looked around, but there was no one in the alley. Yan Han cursed and closed the door with a bang.
Yinggu climbed down from the tree. Liu Yinglian walked over and whispered: "Do you see clearly?" Aunt Ying nodded excitedly and whispered: "You see clearly."
The three of them returned to the post house. As soon as they entered the gate, they happened to see Li Zhiyun and Zhang Zheng coming out of the house. Aunt Ying couldn't wait to say: "Your Majesty, we found it." Li Zhiyun asked strangely: "What did you find?" Aunt Ying said with a smile: "It's the man whose face was scratched. He is hiding in a house."
When Li Zhiyun heard this, he was pleasantly surprised: "Really?" Aunt Ying nodded proudly and said, "Thanks to Miss Liu for this, she saw the suspicion and found the person." Li Zhiyun turned to Liu Yinglian "Really?" Liu Yinglian smiled and nodded.
Li Zhiyun turned to Zhang Zheng and said, "Bring a few people with you right away and put that house under surveillance. Remember, don't alert him yet." Zhang Zheng cupped his fists and said, "Yes!" Aunt Ying said to Zhang Zheng, "Zhang Sima, I Let me take you there." Zhang Zheng said, "Then there is Miss Lao Ying." Seeing the two people walking away, Li Zhiyun turned to Liu Yinglian and said, "I'll take you back to your room."
Yan Han was hiding in that house, and Lan Dai'er often came to have private meetings with him and brought him delicious food, which made his little life very nourishing and he didn't feel lonely or bored.
That day, Yan Han heard someone knocking on the door, thinking it was Lan Dai'er, so he ran over and opened the courtyard door excitedly, just as he was about to say, "Are you here?" However, as soon as the word "you" was spoken, he discovered that the people standing outside the door were not Lan Dai'er, but Chu Shizheng and Ren Hongbin. He was startled and quickly changed his words: "General, is it you?" Chu Shizheng nodded and walked in. After the two of them entered the yard, Yan Han closed the door, carefully bolted it, and then turned around.
Chu Shizheng stared at him and said, "Did you know I was coming today?" Yan Han hurriedly concealed: "No, no, I thought it was the person who sent me rice and grain. General, please!" Yan Han changed the subject. , welcomed Chu Shizheng and the others into the room, gave up their seats, and busily poured tea for them.
Chu Shizheng waved his hand and said, "Stop being busy and sit down." Yan Han had no choice but to put down the teapot, sat down across the table, looked at him and said, "General, what are your orders?" Chu Shizheng Zheng said with a serious face: "The emperor sent a message to us to act quickly. I decided not to wait any longer. Tomorrow morning, Chang Da will go to Guanghua Temple in the north of the city to offer incense and pray for his mother. Because he is going to the temple, he will bring a smaller number of guards. There are only a dozen or so people, so we will kidnap him in Guanghua Temple."
When Yan Han heard this, he slammed the table excitedly: "Great!" Chu Shizheng continued: "We will send people to sneak into Guanghua Temple tonight and set up an ambush. You should stop hiding and participate in tonight's operation. ." Upon hearing this, Yan Han quickly stood up and clasped his fists, saying: "As you command!"
