The legend of Dukang

Before Wen Ruyu could say a word, she and Du Shaokang were invited into the guest room by the serious-faced Jie Tianchou.Immediately, two guards were assigned to stand guard outside the door, and they would not let them out.

Wen Ruyu wanted to go out several times to find out the situation, but was blocked by the two door gods outside the door: "The eldest young master ordered..." "Don't make things difficult for the young..." and blocked her back.

No matter what kind of words he said, he would not let go of his harsh words, and Wen Ruyu was not good at using force, so he could only sit in the hall and get angry.

After a burst of people turned their backs on their backs outside, they finally regained calm.

Wen Ruyu tentatively opened the door a little, and found that the two door gods at the door were still there.Wen Ruyu was fidgeting in the room, no matter how he thought it was wrong, he looked at Du Shaokang who had been sitting quietly, and said, "Mr. Du, what do you think of today's events?"

Du Shaokang had been drinking tea quietly, and when he heard his question, he said unhurriedly: "Dingguohoufu has something wrong."

Seeing what Du Shaokang said was so decisive, Wen Ruyu couldn't help being surprised: "Why are you so sure, sir?"

"Today, you and I also heard that the houses patronized by fortune thieves are more or less tainted. Although the rumors among the people are not credible, they may not be without reason. If there is no shameful thing in Dingguohou's mansion, why bother?" So guarding against us? Jie Tianchou invited us here for protection, but it is actually under house arrest!"

Hearing what he said, combined with the current situation, Wen Ruyu's heart suddenly became angry: "I treat Jieyou as a friend, but Jie Tianyou wants to put me under house arrest! Does he think these few soldiers and crab generals at the door can stop me! Let alone these few people , even if all the guards of the Hou Mansion come, I won't be afraid." After speaking, he wanted to go out and make gestures.

Seeing Wen Ruyu getting angry, Du Shaokang quickly stopped him, signaled him to keep silent, and said loudly: "Young Master Xie is also here to protect our safety, it's getting late, let's go to rest early, we'll talk about it tomorrow if we have anything to say." Then he turned off the light and dragged Wen Ruyu into the back room.

Wen Ruyu looked at Du Shaokang in confusion and said: "We are all under house arrest, sir, you really plan to sleep like this!"

Du Shaokang looked at him with idiot eyes and said: "Then what can I do, there is someone standing guard at the door, I don't know martial arts, I am not familiar with the Hou's mansion, I can't get out, I can only sleep. And, no matter what In this way, the Hou Mansion has not been rude to us, you just hit it like this, but it’s unreasonable! If you hurt someone, how will you explain it when you see the second son? Let’s rest quickly!" After speaking, he lay down with his clothes on Bed rested.

Wen Ruyu was left speechless by what he said, seeing that he really went to sleep, she could only lie down with her clothes on, but her heart was suffocated, she tossed and turned, and couldn't fall asleep no matter what.Suddenly, he had an idea, Du Shaokang didn't know martial arts, but his own martial arts is very strong!He is also familiar with the Hou Mansion. Although he can't confront the guards of the Hou Mansion on the face of it, he still has the ability to sneak out without being discovered.

Thinking of this, Wen Ruyu suddenly became excited. He looked sideways at Du Shaokang beside him, and called softly, "Mr. Du? Mr. Du?"

Du Shaokang turned over and didn't intend to wake up.After waiting for a while to make sure that he was really asleep, Wen Ruyu tiptoed out of bed and looked out from the window at the back of the house.

There is no one outside.

Wen Ruyu was secretly happy: Jie Tianchou was too sloppy, he only placed two guards at the door.Doesn't he know that windows can go in and out?

Finding out a black brocade bathrobe from the closet in the room and putting it on, Wen Ruyu took the Sky Cloud Fan and flew out of the window.Squatting on the roof, looking at the brightly lit main house in the distance, Wen Ruyu said in her heart: I must find out what evil things you have done.

Not long after Wen Ruyu left, Du Shaokang opened his closed eyes, looked up at the half-open window, and sighed slightly.

Walking quickly along the ridge of the roof, flying over rows of pavilions, Wen Ruyu's figure is like a light swan goose.Relying on the familiar terrain of the Hou Mansion, after several ups and downs, Wen Ruyu finally came to the main house of the Hou Mansion.Carefully lying on the roof, Wen Ruyu adjusted her breathing slowly, counted the bricks and tiles lightly, and finally chose one to move away gently after a while, the light in the room instantly jumped into view.

Xie Dingtian sat on the upper chair with a serious face, Fu Bo and Jie Tianchou stood beside him, and two servants knelt below.

"Master Hou, they are the only people who have touched the plaque these days." Uncle Fu respectfully said to Xie Dingtian.

Xie Dingtian's sharp eyes turned directly to the boy who was kneeling on the ground, and the two boy hurriedly kowtowed tremblingly and begged for mercy: "Master Hou is wronged, Lord Hou is wronged! The plaque and stone lions at the gate will be cleaned every day, today is only my turn It's just two people, the little ones really didn't do anything else."

Xie Dingtian didn't speak, but drank his tea with his head down.

Uncle Fu beside him said, "Nothing happened when others were cleaning, but it happened when it was your two's turn! Tell me, who sent you here!"

Hearing what he said, the two young servants suddenly turned pale with fright, and thumped their heads: "Master, please forgive me. It's really not the little ones who did it. The little one just wiped the plaque with a rag, and really didn't do anything. .”

Seeing that the two of them were already crying, Jie Tianchou moved closer to Xie Dingtian's ear and whispered, "Father, Wei Qing was by his side when the two of them wiped the plaque today. If the two of them do anything, Wei Qing should be able to see it." .”

Xie Dingtian glanced at Jie Tianchou and nodded.

Uncle Fu said to the boy: "Master Hou will find out about this matter. If the two of you are really wronged, Master Hou will definitely clear you up. But if you did it, the rules of the Hou Mansion will not be taken lightly." Forgive me."

Xie Dingtian waved his hand, and Uncle Fu asked someone to take the two of them down.

"Master Hou, the plaque at the door has been checked, and the bat on it cannot be wiped off. The old slave has asked a craftsman to make a plaque. Do you think it is..." Uncle Fu watched Xie Dingtian's expression carefully.

Xie Dingtian said indifferently: "You can figure it out, make sure to handle it well, and don't let it out!"

"Yes." Fu Bo heaved a sigh of relief, bowed and stepped back.

After Uncle Fu went out, Jie Tianchou asked tentatively: "Father, since someone did this on purpose, I'm afraid we won't let us hide it. It's estimated that it will spread all over the capital tomorrow. I'm afraid..."

Xie Dingtian took a sip of tea and said, "I didn't intend to hide anything! Our Dingguohou Mansion behaves upright and sits upright. Don't pay too much attention to the rumors in the market!"

Jie Tianchou said in a low voice: "I'm afraid that the poisoning of Yunheng will be involved. Although it has nothing to do with us, Yunheng was poisoned under the care of the Marquis of Dingguo after all. Although the emperor did not blame him now, I'm afraid that the elder Ge..."

"Even if we wanted to poison Fang Yunheng, we would not choose to do it on our own territory. Besides, we have no reason to do so. Fang Zhongxin is not that stupid." Xie Dingtian said quietly.

"Father Marshal is right." Jie Tianchou said in a low voice: "The master who visited the Marquis Mansion overnight and injured Tianle is very likely to be related to the black guards of the previous dynasty. After all, the matter is of great importance. Why don't we tell the emperor? ?”

Xie Dingtian waved his hand, and said in a deep voice: "Things are not as simple as you think! Just a bat mark can't explain anything, and the emperor may not believe it! Besides, Weifu is getting old now, you are a civil servant, and Jieyou is a Unbelievable, Tianle is still young, and we don't have any suitable candidates to take over the imperial army. If people know that Dingguohou's mansion has been easily breached, the emperor will only question his ability as a father. Anyway, the matter of Junheng's poisoning The emperor has already entrusted us to investigate, holding the imperial army for my father, and the defense of the capital is under our control, no matter who it is, as long as they are in the capital, they will definitely not be able to pull off any big tricks!" Xie Dingtian looked up at Jie Tianchou, Suddenly he asked an irrelevant question: "How many people are left from those days?"

"Other than our Dingguohou's mansion, I am afraid that Fang Ge is the only old man, but Fang Ge has been away from the capital for many years. It may not be easy to ask him to show up." Xie Tianchou answered with a bow.

Xie Dingtian stood up, took a few steps back and forth in the room, and said with a smile: "Fang Zhongxin, an old fox, thought that he could escape the catastrophe by avoiding the capital in advance. Hmph! It's a pity that the monk can't escape the temple if he can escape. It is coming!"

Jie Tianchou was surprised and said, "You mean, the poisoning of Yunheng this time has something to do with Mr. Fang Ge?"

Xie Dingtian nodded, and said meaningfully: "It's hard to say! The people who participated in this matter were either in poverty, or died in an accident! It seems that the retribution of the heavenly law is not good, even if it is not repaid to oneself, it will also bring disaster to future generations. "

"Currently people in the capital are in panic, high-ranking officials and wealthy households are in danger, and the people are talking about it. We must find a way to stabilize the situation as soon as possible." Jie Tianchou said eagerly.

Xie Dingtian went back to sit on the grand teacher's chair, and said leisurely: "Anyway, the Xuantian Sword is already in our hands, so let the Governor of Gyeonggi Prefecture worry about other matters. The entire government has strengthened its security these days, and no one is allowed to come in and out at will!"

"How about Ruyu and that Du Shaokang?" Jie Tianchou asked cautiously: "Ruyu and Jieyou are brothers and sisters. Now that something like this is happening in the Hou Mansion, he will definitely not sit idly by."

Xie Dingtian frowned: "Wen Ruyu is a member of the Jianghu after all, and it is not good for him to meddle in the affairs of the court! You find a way to stabilize him and don't let him get involved!"

"Yes." Seeing that his father had nothing else to order, Jie Tianchou saluted and retreated.

Wen Ruyu hastily and gently closed the tile.

As soon as Jie Tianchou went out, a guard ran over.

Wen Ruyu was startled, wasn't that one of the guards guarding the door!Why did he come here? Could it be that he sneaked away and was discovered?

The guard bowed to Jie Tianchou.

Jie Tianchou asked, "How is Ruyu?"

"Mr. Wen has already rested." The guard replied respectfully.

Wen Ruyu breathed a sigh of relief.

"Why are you so honest today? I thought he was going to make a big fuss!" Jie Tianchou said with a smile.

The guard said: "Mr. Wen was indeed a little emotional at first, but after a few words of persuasion from Mr. Du, he was fine."

Jie Tianchou frowned: "This Du Shaokang can be a man!" He was silent for a moment, and said to the guards: "Go back and watch, send more people to protect their safety, and tell me immediately if there is anything!"

"Yes." The guard backed away.

Another young man ran over and said to Jie Tianchou, "Eldest Young Master, Second Young Master is back."

"Tell him to wait for me in the side hall." After Jie Tianchou finished speaking, he strode away.

With Jieyou present, Wen Ruyu didn't dare to follow with great fanfare, so she had to go back home temporarily.

Quietly crawling back to her room, seeing Du Shaokang still sleeping peacefully on the bed, Wen Ruyu smiled.She took off her black bathrobe and put it back in the closet, and lay on the bed with all her clothes on, but Wen Ruyu couldn't fall asleep for a long time.

Judging from the news heard tonight, Jie Tianchou definitely has something to hide.It's a pity that Xie Dingtian and his son's language was vague, and they couldn't tell what was going on, but it must have something to do with Mr. Fang Ge.However, based on the relationship between the Fang family and the Xie family, there should be nothing to worry about, Wen Ruyu thought about it, and gradually fell asleep.

In the dark room, a clever boy carefully lit the oil lamp, covered the glazed lampshade, and the room was shrouded in a hazy warm light.The servant served tea to the two of them, and Jie Tianchou said slowly: "Little Douzi, you don't need to serve here, go down and rest."

The young man bowed to the two of them, then retreated silently, and closed the door considerately.

After the boy left, Jieyou looked around at his brother's room, looked at the dusty table with distaste, frowned and said, "You should have someone to serve you in your room."

Jie Tianchou lowered his head and took a sip of tea, and replied lightly: "Anyway, I don't live there often, so there's no need to be so troublesome."

Jieyou wanted to say something else, Jie Tianchou put down the teacup in his hand and asked softly, "Are you sure he didn't follow?"

"No." Jieyou said: "But, why don't you let me see Ruyu? There are some things that can be clearly explained to him directly?"

Jie Tianchou shook his head: "It's wrong for people in the world to meddle in the affairs of the imperial court! At the beginning, I found Ruyu because of helplessness, but now that Xuantian Sword is in my hands, it's better for Ruyu to stay away from these right and wrong as soon as possible." Said After that, Jie Tianchou looked at Jieyou firmly and said, "You don't want him to be a burden to him either!"

After hearing his words, Jieyou fell silent.

Knowing that he agreed, Jie Tianchou breathed a sigh of relief, and lightly reprimanded him, "You told Ruyu about Yunheng's poisoning without discussing it with me. Out of the capital!"

Jieyou looked up at Jie Tianchou and said, "It's easy to send him out, but what should we do next?"
