Chapter 53 Listening to secrets from across the room

Yang Shucheng saw that it was dark in the backyard, with branches swaying wildly, but no one around. There were bright lights in front, so he decided to go to the front to check.

After walking through the winding path and arriving at the front yard, there were not many people patrolling. Yang Shucheng quietly followed the corridor to the back of the front house, jumped up to the roof, and leaned over to look at the front yard.

Huang Chenglin was seen standing in the courtyard, instructing his men to arrange seven or eight boxes in order.

Huang Chenglin waved one of his men over and said to him: "You protect the box. I got the news from Eunuch Cao. You should send the box in through the back door of Cao's house as soon as possible. There must be no mistakes. Do you understand?"

"know."

After Huang Chenglin finished explaining, he took the housekeeper and strode out of the front door.

Yang Shucheng listened to Huang Chenglin's lecture on "Eunuch Cao" and wondered if it was the eunuch Cao Fengying. He didn't know how they hooked up. How about he went to find out the truth?

Yang Shucheng made up his mind and hurriedly ran out of the backyard and walked along the alley. It was already late at night and there were some pedestrians on the road, but no one paid attention to Yang Shucheng.

Yang Shucheng walked to the front door of Huang's house and saw Huang Chenglin walking in front, with the housekeeper holding a lantern and lighting the way.

Yang Shucheng followed from a distance, and there were still some pedestrians on the street. Huang Chenglin walked forward calmly, never expecting that there was Yang Shucheng following behind him.

After turning around a few alleys, I came to a thoroughfare street, where I saw a tall building gate standing on the street, an old man guarding the gate, and several people standing in front of him, nodding and bowing, as if begging him to let them in.

Huang Chenglin walked towards the high-rise courtyard.

I think this is Cao Fengying's private residence outside the palace.

Yang Shucheng didn't care how Huang Chenglin entered. He came to the backyard of Cao's house from another alley, flew up the wall, and jumped into the courtyard. Fortunately, it was midnight and there was no one inside.

This Cao Fengying won the favor of Emperor Chongzhen. Not only did he have a residence in the palace, but he was also given a large house to rest here after he was busy with the palace affairs. This mansion originally belonged to a general. After he failed in the battle with the bandits, he was sentenced to death by Emperor Chongzhen. His whole family was sent to the army, his property was confiscated, and the mansion was only given to his trusted eunuch Cao Fengying.

Yang Shucheng jumped up to a locust tree and hid. Although it was midnight here, the lights were bright inside, and there were half a dozen men and women. Yang Shucheng thought to himself, Cao Fengying was just a eunuch who cut wheat, how could there be so many women filling the house?

Yang Shucheng saw Huang Chenglin walking into the main room. He wanted to know what these two gangsters were talking about when they came together. I was about to run to the back and look for an opportunity to go in and eavesdrop.

Just as he was about to fly down from the tree, he saw Huang Chenglin walking out followed by a skinny old man. No need to think about it, this skinny old man is Cao Fengying.

The two led a group of people towards the right side. Yang Shucheng saw this old eunuch. Although he was thin, he had a white face. He looked like a treacherous person. He didn't know why the emperor trusted such a person so much.

This Cao Fengying took advantage of the emperor's favor, took bribes, violated the law, and harmed loyal people. His reputation has already spread all over the world. Yang Shucheng thought that when they walked to the side and stabbed him to death with a sword, it would be considered a harm to the people.

Thinking of this, Yang Shucheng flew up from the tree, took a path and ran in front of them. Hiding behind a tree, watching them approach step by step.

Yang Shucheng was not afraid. Even if the assassination attempt failed tonight, he could still escape unscathed by relying on Taiqing Qigong.

Here, there was a winding corridor. Yang Shucheng expected that they were going to the northeast, so he ran forward along the corridor. When he ran to the end, there was a round door on the right, and there must be a small courtyard inside. He wanted to hide. Go to the small courtyard, enter to assassinate him, and retreat to escape from the small courtyard.

Yang Shucheng had made up his mind and ran to the small courtyard door to hide. Watching Cao Fengying and Huang Chenglin arrive.

The two of them kept walking towards this courtyard. Yang Shucheng walked back to the courtyard and looked at Cao Fengying. He wanted to stab Cao Fengying, but his curiosity suddenly aroused to see what bad things these two people were going to do.

Seeing that the door of the room was ajar, Yang Shucheng was brave enough to hold a sword, opened the door and walked in. This is a large room with two museum shelves along the wall, filled with antique items from Qin, Ding, Zhou and Yi.

Yang Shucheng was watching when he heard footsteps coming straight towards this direction. Yang Shucheng had no choice but to hide. When he saw a door on the left, he rushed in. The two people behind him had already opened the door and entered the house.

Yang Shucheng hid behind the door of the inner room, which was a small bedroom. There was a bed next to the wall facing me, with a thin curtain and gauze. The person lying on the bed made an "ah" sound.

But it's a woman.

Her snow-white body was light and plump, and she was covering her body with the quilt in panic.

Yang Shucheng held the sword in his hand. If the woman screamed again, he would not stop doing anything. He would kill her first, then rush out and kill the evil eunuch outside the house.

But he saw that the woman's big bright eyes were open. She didn't call out a second time, but her gaze turned from panic to intense.

When Yang Shucheng saw that she was no longer moving, he leaned against the wall and looked at the woman on the bed, but his ears were listening to the footsteps in the room outside.

I heard two people entering the study room and sitting down. Then I heard one person say: "Eunuch Cao, my brother asked me to say hello to you." This was Huang Chenglin's voice.

Eunuch Cao must be Cao Fengying.

I only heard Cao Fengying say: "Well, Huang Zhonglin made a lot of trouble outside the customs."

Huang Zhonglin was dismissed by the emperor, took a large box of treasures with him, and was a happy rich man in his hometown. Why did he run away outside the customs? Yang Shucheng was confused, and then he heard Huang Chenglin say:

"No, my brother asked me to come to Beijing and ask Eunuch Cao to bless him."

Cao Fengying said: "This is all his fault. He has caused such a big disaster, and the whole court has become a mess. If he is brought to the capital for questioning, even I will be involved. How can I say a good word to him?" ?”

Huang Chenglin said: "If Eunuch Cao doesn't save him this time, my brother will be in trouble. My brother is always thinking about Eunuch Cao outside the customs. No, let me greet Eunuch Cao."

With that said, Huang Chenglin handed over the gift list, and Cao Fengying took it in his hand and looked at it for a long time without saying a word.

The room was so quiet that you could even hear the sound of a silver needle falling to the ground.

Yang Shucheng's eyes widened.

It turned out that the woman lying on the bed took off the quilt and revealed her height. The snow was white, and she got out of the bed.

Yang Shucheng stared at her, not daring to say anything. In the outer room, in addition to the eunuchs Cao Fengying and Huang Chenglin, there were several guards in the courtyard. Judging from the look on their faces, they must be martial arts masters. Not only could he not assassinate the eunuchs, but he would also die. Therefore, Yang Shucheng did not dare to move.

I saw the woman walking barefoot on the ground and walking towards Yang Shucheng step by step. Yang Shucheng was leaning against the wall. Where could he dare to make a sound?

That woman was bare-handed. How could Yang Shucheng take her seriously? However, she was not afraid of him. Instead, she walked towards him with a proud smile on her face. I wonder what she meant?

I saw this woman with a graceful figure, swaying step by step, and walked up to Yang Shucheng. The fragrance of her body hit her nose. Yang Shucheng wanted to take a step away, but smelled the fragrance and couldn't move even half a step away.

The woman didn't speak, her face was rosy, her brows were pretty, and she had an enchanting charm that was irresistible.

I saw her stretching out her right hand.

Her right hand is slender and white, and her fingers are as round and smooth as onions.

Her right hand reached out to Yang Shucheng's face and stroked it gently. Jier's whole body fell into Yang Shucheng's arms, as soft as a ball of cotton, as obedient as a cat, and as warm as a ball of fire.

Yang Shucheng, a hero, has melted like a piece of ice at this point.
