Daily life in Kaifeng dormitory

Ni Yexin said: "Did you go out of the city to see wolves that night?"

Mr. Yang nodded immediately, and said, "Yes... I went out of the city to see wolves..."

Ni Yexin said: "Then, why did one die and the other was injured? Where did you go?"

Mr. Yang immediately shook his head like a rattle drum, and said: "I really don't know what's going on with them. Er Shao Peng said he would take us to see his wolves. I didn't want to go at that time. I came back in the middle of the night. They wanted to go out of the city, and they said they were going to see some wolves, but I couldn’t help it, they insisted on going, so I went with them.”

Mr. Yang said that after they left the city, they really went to watch the wolves. Those wolves looked very intrusive, and Peng Ershao and the second son of the Du family were very happy. Mr. Yang didn't know what they were going to do. What, can only accompany.

At that time, Mr. Yang was also very curious about where the boss of the Du family had gone. He was usually with those three people, and why he pretended to be the boss of the Du family. I don't know what his intention was.

Mr. Yang was trembling in his heart, and he also drank too much wine, and said: "At that time, I thought that the boss of the Du family might have been killed, maybe he was killed by the second young master Bang and the others. But he thought it was impossible. Why did Er Shao kill him?"

Mr. Yang guessed wildly, but couldn't figure it out at all.Because they really drank too much, their movements were a little slow. Peng Ershao threw stones at the wolves, which made the wolves anxious and laughed loudly, which frightened Mr. Yang.

After they had had enough fun, they left the place where the wolves were raised. After leaving, Mr. Yang excused himself by saying that he was too sleepy and wanted to go back to sleep.

Mr. Yang said: "Peng Ershao agreed. At that time, I was not sure what Peng Ershao meant, and I felt a little scared. I thought it might be Peng Ershao who took me out of the city, but ended up ambushing someone to Kill me? After all... After all, I..."

After all, Mr. Yang is a thief with a guilty conscience. He was scared of being beaten by Peng Ershao last time. He was afraid that Peng Ershao would feel that he was still angry and wanted someone to kill him.

Mr. Yang was quite scared at the time, and he was in a dilemma. He felt that it was dangerous to follow Peng Ershao and the others, and it was also dangerous to leave Peng Ershao and the others.

But in the end Mr. Yang chose to go back to the city.

Mr. Yang said: "I said I was going back, but Er Shao Peng let me go. I thought a lot at that time, but my head slowed down because of drinking, so I ran to the city in one breath. Finally When I ran back to the city, nothing happened at all. I breathed a sigh of relief, so I didn't think about it again. I thought that Er Shao Peng might have deliberately teased me. I really don't know what happened next. "

Mr. Yang said that after running back to the city, he went back to sleep.Ever since he was beaten by Peng Ershao, he didn't dare to go home, and he was afraid that the neighbors would make fun of him, so he didn't dare to go back.

He has an acquaintance who is a waiter who works in a small inn. Mr. Yang went there. It happened that the shopkeeper was not there recently, so Mr. Yang lived there. Anyway, there were no people living in the inn, and the house was always empty.

Ni Yexin immediately asked: "Then when you went back, did anyone see it? Can someone testify for you?"

Mr. Yang said: "This... Well, not really. It was very late at that time, there were few people in the inn, and everyone was asleep. I didn't pay attention at that time, it seemed that no one saw me."

According to Mr. Yang, Er Shao Peng and the second son of the Du family died after he came back. He didn't know why those two people returned to the place where the wolves were raised, let alone why they ran away. He went into a pack of wolves and was killed by wolves.

It's just that Mr. Yang has no one to testify for him, so no one can prove whether what he said is true.

Ni Yexin said: "Then what did you do in the next few days?"

Mr. Yang hesitated, and the woman got annoyed, and said, "Are you finished? Is this an interrogation of a prisoner?"

Ni Yexin said: "The prisoner is not the case, but the suspect is definitely the case. The boss of the Du family has been dead for a long time. Mr. Yang went to pretend to be the boss of the Du family. It is really easy to be regarded as a suspect, isn't it?"

Mr. Yang said: "I was wronged! I was wronged! I didn't know that the boss of the Du family was dead. I was threatened by Mr. Yang to pretend to be him. I didn't know anything. If I didn't have a clue in his hands, It's also... not like this..."

The woman said: "That's right, are you fools? You can't even tell, it's obvious that Er Shao Peng deliberately framed him!"

Ni Yexin said: "It's really strange. Didn't Er Shao Peng redeem you from the brothel? Why do you feel so resentful towards Er Shao Peng?"

The woman sneered and said, "He redeemed me just to show off that he is rich. Is it possible that I should be grateful to him?"

Ni Yexin shrugged, did not speak, and continued to ask Young Master Yang, "Don't change the subject, where have you been since that day?"

Mr. Yang recalled: "I don't remember very clearly. After that day... I woke up very late the next day. I probably woke up in the afternoon. I don't remember. Maybe I went out for a walk, I went back to the inn at night, and then I didn’t go out. Then... I heard that Er Shao Peng died, so... I came here..."

Peng Ershao died, so there was no one in Peng Ershao's mansion. Mr. Yang thought that it would be no problem for him to stay in the inn all the time, so he just ran over, and the woman didn't tell him to leave. We welcomed him in and told him that it doesn't matter how long he lives, since this place will be theirs from now on.

Mr. Yang's words are ambiguous, and there is no one to testify for him, after all, he himself can't remember what he did.

Ni Yexin asked the name of the inn again, and then told Mr. Yang not to leave casually, and people from Kaifeng Mansion would come to ask questions again.

The woman was very upset, but Mr. Yang was polite and sent them to the door.

Murong Changqing came out and asked, "Would you like to visit the inn?"

Ni Yexin nodded and said, "Of course."

It's just that the two of them just left Peng Ershao's door and were about to find the small inn, when they met Chi Long and Zhao Yin on the way.

When Chi Long and Zhao Yin saw Ni Yexin, they said, "Master Ni, that Mrs. Du is here again."

When Ni Yexin heard this, she raised her eyebrows and said, "It seems like she's impatient?"

Mrs. Du had concealed some things from them before, and Ni Yexin didn't get to the bottom of it, but left Mrs. Du aside. Now it's all right. After such a short time, Mrs. Du seemed to be unable to bear it, and ran to Kaifeng again The government went to find them.

Ni Ye raised her eyebrows heartily, and said, "Where is Mrs. Du now?"

Zhao Yin said: "Just now I came to Kaifeng mansion to look for your lord, but your lord is not here. Mrs. Du has already gone back. I want to invite lord Ni to come over and talk."

Ni Yexin beckoned and said, "Alright, then let's go, let's go together."

Now they changed their way to Mrs. Du's mansion first, and then went to the inn after they got out of Mrs. Du's place.In this way, the schedule for this day is really full.

When they walked to the door of Du's house, the boy who opened the door was there, before they came over, he saw them and immediately ran inside, shouting: "Madam, Madam, the adults of Kaifeng Mansion are here."

Soon, when they reached the gate, Mrs. Du came out to greet them in person.

Madam Du looked anxious, and said: "My lords are here, come in with me."

Everyone followed them in, and they were taken directly to the bedroom by Mrs. Du instead of going to the flower hall.

This time the bedroom was neat and tidy, unlike the last time it was burglarized, but Mrs. Du looked anxious.

Mrs. Du brought them in, and closed the door, saying: "Masters, you can't ignore it, I've been thieves here again!"

Ni Yexin raised her eyebrows and said, "What's going on?"

Mrs. Du said: "Just this morning, I woke up early, and when I came back, I found that my jewelry box had been opened and I lost a piece of jewelry. Someone must have entered my room again."

Mrs. Du said that this was really strange, the servant girls said they hadn't seen anyone enter Madam's room, but Madam lost something again, it really seemed like a ghost.

Mrs. Du said: "I was really scared. I quickly looked at other things, and I found that other things had been touched, but they were not as messy as last time."

Ni Yexin said, "What did you lose?"

Mrs. Du said: "It's just a gold bracelet, it's not worth much."

"Can I have a look at the jewelry box?" Ni Yexin said.

Madam Du hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

The jewelry box was on the table. It was closed at the moment, but it was only concealed, it was not locked, and it could be opened with a push.

Ni Yexin opened it and saw that there were quite a lot of things inside, dazzling. If you just took away a gold bracelet, it would be difficult to find it.

However, Mrs. Du thought that what happened last time had a long memory, and she wished she could remember the exact location of everything in the house, so there was a gold bracelet missing in the box, and Mrs. Du found it at a glance.

Ni Yexin reached in and picked it up, then picked up something and said, "What is the key to this place?"

Ni Yexin came out with a small key, very delicate and well made.

Madam Du hesitated for a moment, and said, "Yes...it's a key to a secret compartment."

"Secret space?" Ni Yexin said, "Can we take a look?"

Madam Du hesitated again, then nodded.

The secret compartment is in Mrs. Du's room, behind the dressing table, you can see it by removing the table.

In fact, it is not very hidden. When the key is inserted, with a "click", the secret compartment is opened. The space is not very big. It is a small square box, which is neatly placed and many boxes are stacked.

Ni Yexin glanced at it and said, "Someone took something away?"

Madam Du immediately shook her head in surprise, and said, "No, no, this place is already empty, there is nothing left here."

The hidden compartment is not very big, many boxes are piled up, but there is a space on the right side, a long strip, empty and nothing is placed.

Under normal circumstances, some scrolls and the like can be placed there, but there are indeed several scrolls in the dark compartment, all of which are stacked on top of the box, which looks particularly crowded, but they are not inserted beside it.

There was definitely something in this place before, but it was taken away.After taking it away, perhaps because of haste, there was no time to re-arrange the secret compartment.

Ni Yexin glanced at the anxious Mrs. Du, and said, "Madam, this is the second time you have called us here, but you are still unwilling to speak clearly. If this is the case, there is nothing we can do to help."

"This..." Mrs. Du looked at Ni Yexin hesitantly, and said, "But...but this has nothing to do with secret cases."

"It doesn't matter?" Ni Yexin said: "I don't think Mrs. Du cares much about the lost gold bracelet. I'm afraid she lost something important. That's why you are eager to ask us to help find that elusive person?"

Madam Du's lips trembled, and she said, "I am...I am..."

Madam Du's face was pale, as if she was engaged in an ideological struggle, she did not speak for a long time.

Ni Yexin was not in a hurry, and simply said: "If Mrs. Du still doesn't want to say anything, then I have nothing to say. Let's take our leave first."

"Wait! My lord!" Madam Du hurriedly grabbed Ni Yexin who was about to leave.

Murong Changqing moved even faster, and with a "snap", he slapped Madam Du's hand away.

Mrs. Du let out a cry of pain, and didn't dare to pull Ni Yexin anymore, but she stopped him and said, "I said... I said... besides losing some valuable things in the house, there are also... I found something, right there, right in this grid..."

Ni Yexin raised his eyebrows, and said in his heart that it was true.

Ni Yexin guessed right, there was something in the empty space in the grid, but it was stolen suddenly.

Mrs. Du said anxiously: "My lords, I actually don't know what I lost. I really don't know. But, it must be something very important."

"I don't know what you lost?" Ni Yexin frowned.

Madam Du was afraid that he wouldn't believe it, so she quickly said, "I really don't know. It was my eldest son who gave it to me and asked me to hide it, saying that no one can give it to me, otherwise our family will lose their heads."

When Ni Yexin heard this, it really had something to do with the boss of the Du family, and it wasn't just a coincidence.

Mrs. Du said: "At that time, he was very serious. I was frightened by him, so I didn't ask any more questions, and quickly hid the things in my secret compartment. There are some treasures hidden there, and no one except me Others know. I didn’t see anything, he didn’t let me see it, so I put it in.”

Mrs. Du insisted that she didn't know what it was, she only knew that it was wrapped in oiled paper, it was very tightly wrapped, and it was long and strip-shaped, a bit like a scroll or something.

Mrs. Du was not interested in calligraphy and painting, so she put her things away and never touched that hidden compartment again.

until……

Mrs. Du said: "Who would have thought that there would be a thief in my house suddenly, who came and went without a trace, more than once. The first time I was a thief, I opened the hidden compartment and took a look. It's gone!"

That morning, Mrs. Du found that the house had been turned into a mess, but just as Chi Long and Zhao Yin came to ask about the case, Mrs. Du felt upset, but she didn't care much, thinking that she should hire more servants.

But waiting for Chi Long and Zhao Yin to leave, Mrs. Du opened the secret compartment and took a look, only to find that the thing was gone, and immediately panicked.Because Boss Du has emphasized to her many times, that thing must not be known to others, or they will lose their heads.

That's why Mrs. Du became frightened. Taking advantage of the incident of being thieves, she went to the people in Kaifeng Mansion, and wanted Kaifeng Mansion to investigate.

However, Ni Ye knew that she didn't speak clearly, so she deliberately hung her up. Mrs. Du had no choice but to really speak clearly, so the matter was left alone.

But Mrs. Du didn't expect that the thief came again, searched her house again, and took away a gold bracelet.

Mrs. Du was scared. She didn't know when the thief would come again, and she didn't know what was lost. What if it was something that could lose her head?

Mrs. Du had no choice but to go to Kaifeng Mansion for help again, and was so anxious by Ni Yexin that she told the whole story.

Mrs. Du described the thing carefully. Although she didn't open it to read it, she knew the size and shape, so she described it accurately.

Murong Changqing frowned suddenly and said, "Could it be that kind of thing?"

Ni Yexin raised her eyebrows and said, "Don't tell me, we want to go together."

Zhao Yin asked strangely: "What is it?"

Ni Yexin hooked his fingers at him, Zhao Yin was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't move over, thinking that Ni Yexin was playing tricks on him.

But Ni Yexin actually didn't mean to tease him, because it's not easy to say it out loud.

Before, Young Master Yu secretly took something out from Peng's house. It was a military order written by Prince Jing Zhao Yuanjing many years ago when he quelled the chaos.

The military order was supposed to be filed in the Ministry of War, but it was suddenly stolen and transferred to Peng's house.

As soon as Mrs. Du described it, Ni Yexin felt that it was very likely that the military order was hidden in the secret compartment.

Peng Ershao is Master Peng's younger brother, if he wants to steal something from the Ministry of War, it is not impossible to clear up his contacts.As for Peng Ershao and the Du family brothers, they are very good, and the series of deaths and injuries of the three of them now is really suspicious.

However, the military order has been stolen by Young Master Yu long ago, it is absolutely impossible that it disappeared only in the past two days, and the timing is a bit wrong.
