Second minister and thief

Chu Linqiu did not go to see Yu Chi right away, but left him to dry in the tea room of Xieyi Building for an entire hour before arriving late.He was not idle during this period, but was nestled on the couch in the cubicle together with Xiao Cen, watching the man's every move through the small hole in the white wall, seeing Yu Chi's calm and relaxed mind during most of the time in front of him. , Sometimes I got up to look at the paintings around me, and sometimes I lowered my head and sipped tea leisurely, as if I was really just a guest who came to the Hou Mansion.

But in the last half stick of incense, his hands have already started to touch a certain part of his body frequently, as if to make sure that the things hidden there are still there.

"He's getting anxious."

Yu Chi's face was actually familiar yet unfamiliar to Chu and Xiao.When he saw this face, Xiao Cen suddenly had such a feeling in his heart: he is really a brave and smart guy.

He actually entered the city with the identity of Baiyin Guan Taoist, no wonder the journey went smoothly.And relying on the contacts he accumulated when he was a litigator, it is very easy to get documents that are fake.

When Chu Linqiu pushed the door and entered, Yu Chi's whole attention was focused on the small piece of yellowed paper exposed by the desk. Claw-shaped, ready to shoot, and when he saw someone coming, he let out a long breath and relaxed.

"Your Majesty Chu is busy with affairs, so it's really not easy to meet him. Yu almost thought that he had fallen into the trap of Marquis Dingnan. But after thinking about it, Marquis Dingnan was just like his grandfather, brave and foolish, how could he come?" You are so capable?" When he said this, Yu Chi sat cross-legged on the couch all the time, did not get up, and looked contemptuously at everything, it seemed that he was really confident, knowing that Chu Linqiu could not do anything to him.

Chu Linqiu stood at the door and did not go in, nor did he show any displeasure on his face, but narrowed his phoenix eyes slightly, seeing all his expressions, turned his mind and said, "I promise you It's all done."

"That's why my lord came here to ask for that good gift from me."

"Shouldn't I have it?" Chu Linqiu still didn't get angry, instead, the corners of his lips curled up slightly, revealing a slight smile of a gentle relative, but the smile couldn't reach his eyes.

"Of course. My lord, please come closer, that thing...is beside Yu."

around?Chu Linqiu and Xiao Cen watched him in the cubicle for a long time just now, but they didn't find any suspicious objects around him, so let's see how he can conjure something up.In fact, if he said that this thing was in his arms, maybe it would be more credible.

It's a pity that Yu Youtang was unexpectedly stubborn.Since he wanted to bite this statement to death, Chu Linqiu shook his head indifferently, and simply satisfied him.

It's just that the ugly words have to be said first, "Mr. Dayu, if you lie to me, I'm afraid that the trial court will enter, not the yamen, but the prison."

"Of course, of course!" Yu Chi suddenly raised his voice and said, "Your Excellency, I didn't go to Xichuan to ask, have I, Yu Youtang, ever told half a lie in this life? Heh, it's not like my good brother who is full of benevolence and morality. , preaching and teaching all living beings, but actually he is a big liar.”

"My lord, look carefully." For some reason, Yu Chi raised his eyes to look at Chu Linqiu again, with a strange smile on the corner of his mouth.He flipped his wrist and dumped all the light yellow tea soup he had drunk on the couch beside him.

Immediately afterwards, a very unbelievable scene happened, and a black cloth bag really appeared beside Yu Chi out of thin air.The top of this cloth bag is covered with...unidentified traces that have dried. Even with tea soup, it can't be washed away.And the moment it appeared, Chu Linqiu also smelled a pungent smell of blood and corpses.

His long experience made him instinctively take a step back.

He knew what was in the cloth bag.

a human head.

When Yu Chi slowly untied the upper knot and unfolded the black cloth, a word gradually emerged in Chu Linqiu's mind: It really is so.

"Does your lord know him? This person has been in and out of Xichuan Jiedushi's mansion many times, and the things he brought... are all orders from the East Palace. My lord still wants to know... the Jiedushi's mansion Are there any other secrets? For example," Yu Chi looked directly into Chu Linqiu's eyes, and said silently, "Mobei Army."

The Southern Cavalry who died and came back to life has always been a thorn in Xiao Cen's heart.

Most of the people who lived around the Xichuan Jiedushi's mansion knew one thing: every night, there would be strange sounds, and there would often be a few black carriages parked outside the side gate for no reason.

The people who jumped out of that carriage, not to mention how vicious they looked, but everyone had a pair of eyes like hungry wolves.Being watched by such tricks in the dark will always send chills down the spine and break out in cold sweat.

Therefore, for a long period of time, the streets and alleys of Xichuan have spread a rumor about ghosts, so that the common people believed it to be true, and no one dared to approach this mansion that can eat people. Therefore, "they" It is much more convenient to act.

Yu Chi's narration is roughly the same as what Chu Linqiu knew, except for one thing that he did not expect, that is, the Xichuan Jiedu envoy had devoted all his power to resuscitating Mobei who were once on the verge of extinction. cavalry, and make it his own.

"Having said so much, where do you want to point?" After standing for a long time, Chu Linqiu felt a little tired, so he walked to the other side, opened his robe, and sat on the beauty couch.He raised his hand inadvertently, pinched his throat, to suppress the itching that surged up.

"Master Chu is a smart person, can't you hear Yu's subtext?"

"I really can't hear it." When he said this, Chu Linqiu didn't look at him, nor at the blood-stained head beside him, he just caressed the light blue color of his cuff Moiré.

"..." Yu Chi slowly raised his eyes to stare at his side face, and after a long while burst into earth-shattering laughter, "Master Chu...Master Chu! Yu really found the right person .”

"Eastern Palace colluded with Xichuan Jiedu envoy in an attempt to rebel, and even paid for a Mobei army to be a pawn! Don't you want to reap the benefits of a fisherman?" Yu Chi suddenly leaned forward and approached Chu Linqiu, raising his hand to hold his wrist , murmured in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "After a hundred years of sainthood, Hegai Donggong will inherit the throne. Why did he make a risky move? Bet on his own head, just to sit in that position in advance. My lord doesn't Feel a little weird?"
