The path of the villain is not easy

Chapter 435 Butler
"Hey, you really asked this question. I also asked this question at the time. Those shop owners said that the grain sold to the housekeeper did not come from the cabinet, but from the back warehouse of the grain store. You also know that the grain The dealers are very cunning. Every time they come, they sell part of the grain and keep a part to prevent the price from rising. The steward said: "I don't want to cause any big turmoil in Changwei, so I paid a high price to get rid of these grain dealers." The group of people asked me if I wanted to buy the stored rice I bought in my hand, I am not stupid, why should I buy so much rice by myself?"

The scribe frowned and didn't answer, as if he was struggling with something?
"What are you thinking, isn't this the result you expected before? Obviously, the housekeeper of the grandson's mansion collected the grain and grass in person, can this go wrong?" Ji Wuyi, I understand, why do you It doesn't look like I understand yet.

The scribe frowned and shook his head lightly. He said softly: "No, the housekeeper of the eldest grandson's house has a problem. I asked you to go to the shop to ask. , I would actually believe that Li Wen has someone behind him, but now that the butler is going to the store to buy food, this makes me a little confused."

"Why is that?" Ji Wu was a little puzzled by Monk Zhang Er.

"There are many things in this, I can't explain it clearly to you, but you can think about what kind of person Li Wen is, now the news has spread, although the whole Changwei is a little panicked, but there is no trouble It has already explained the means of this person."

"If there are other unknown troops in the city, even though the daily necessities of the army need a source, it is absolutely impossible to buy them from the grain merchants. The grain merchants have no secrets at all, just as you can It's so easy to inquire about the news. It's not like letting a housekeeper in the Changsun's residence go shopping."

"Take a step back, even if all the grains are purchased from grain merchants, Li Wending will hold some handles of these grain merchants and let them keep this matter secret. It is impossible for you to be so easy Just find out. And I suspect that you will be so smooth, and there are other people who helped you."

Ji Wu's face was a bit ugly, and he cursed with a stinky face: "Grandma, what you mean is that this time I was used as a gun again, and I didn't know it afterwards, and I was a little complacent."

Seeing the scribes nodding their heads a little funny, Ji Wu sighed helplessly, and muttered: "I just said, I don't want to get along with you literati, you really like to play dirty, if there is anything you can't Did you bring the matter to the surface and say it? This is not grand at all."

After finishing speaking, Ji Wu knew that he was talking a little bald, and quickly added: "Sir, I didn't say what you mean, I just said those villains hiding in the dark."

The scribe's face became a little weird, he was wondering if he was the kind of villain hiding in the dark that Ji Wukou said.

Seeing that the scholar was not angry, Ji Wu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked: "Sir, what do you think we should do now?"

"Don't do it. Some people have begun to doubt your identity, so you should stop moving around. You can just follow your daily schedule for a few days."

"The situation in the entire Changwei is too chaotic now. If we act rashly, there will be no benefit at all. All we can do now is wait, wait and see what happens, and wait for all the hidden hands in the Changwei to come out." As soon as it comes out, we will know who is the teammate and who is the enemy at that time."

"Hey, sir, do you mean that the mantis catches the cicada and the oriole follows? Your move is really good." Ji Wu praised with a smile.

"Haha, I didn't expect that a seven-foot man like General Ji who stands up to the heavens and stands in the sky would still flatter. It's really surprising." The scribe looked at Ji Wu and laughed.

Ji Wu had a twitchy expression, as if he was a little embarrassed by what the scribe said.

After teasing Ji Wu, the scribe said again: "If General Ji has nothing else to do, he should leave first. The frequency of generals appearing in restaurants these days is a bit high, and the time is also a bit long, which will easily arouse the attention of others." Notice…………"

"Sir, don't need to say much. On the one hand, Ji understands that if there is no important matter in the future, I will not come here. If the husband needs to find me for anything, then let the boy in the restaurant deliver it to me." A banquet, I will understand." Ji Wu waved his hand and said softly.

Seeing that the scribe didn't answer, Ji Wu bowed his hands, then turned and left the room.

Just when Ji Wu left the room.

On a remote alley in Changsun's mansion, the butler that Changsun Ji met on the alley before was walking furtively.

Suddenly, he stopped, and then turned around abruptly. There was nothing behind him, only a few leaves blown down by the wind were floating in the air.

He turned around, looked left and right, and saw that there was indeed no one around, so he felt relieved. He coughed twice, then turned around and turned into a deserted courtyard.

This courtyard is completely deserted, and the yard is full of weeds. Because of the season, the weeds have completely dried up, and the withered yellow grass roots cling to the ground.

After Changsun Lianyi's family moved to the capital, Changsun Tanqing has stayed here for so many years, and has expanded the west courtyard on his side a lot. Because of the distance between the locations, some places before have slowly become deserted. This place is one of them.

When the butler entered the courtyard, he didn't go directly along the deserted road, but stuck to the courtyard wall, and made a big circle along the courtyard wall until he reached a room that was close to the courtyard wall. , which stopped.

This place close to the courtyard wall, because it was specially treated when it was built, so the small area close to the courtyard wall does not have as many weeds as other places in the courtyard.

In addition, the courtyard wall has been abandoned a lot, the courtyard wall is a little inclined, and many stones at the base of the wall have been pried out of the ground by the courtyard wall. As a result, except for some moss, there are only a few tenacious grass roots in this area. If you stand up straight and pay attention, you can completely avoid the grass near the base of the wall.

The butler stopped in front of the window of that room, stretched out his fingers, and tapped on the window lattice lightly. The sound of the collision between his fingers and the wood rang out in the courtyard.It seemed very abrupt in the silence.

The housekeeper only knocked three times, and they knocked very regularly. After the sound gradually disappeared, the whole courtyard regained its calm.

But this calm didn't last long, a weak voice came from the room: "Come in."

The butler agreed, and then walked around to the door of the room, and stretched out his hand to push the door open.
