Sir, I can do it!

The carriage traveled all the way to the southwest along the official road. If they guessed correctly, the destination of their trip should be Xiaoxi Mountain.There are several other gardens in that area that are extremely beautifully built.To be able to build another garden in Xiaoxishan, this family should be a rich man!

Wei Zhao suddenly remembered that the elder Sun Ke saved him when he was eight years old, and he even patted his chest and promised to build another garden for him here in the future.It's just that he forgot what happened at that time afterwards, and he hasn't even seen a shadow of this villa so far.

That was all 12 years ago. Later, at some point, there was a gust of wind. Duoxi, a rich man in the city, built a Bieyuan Zhuangzi in the suburban mountains, which caused the land price in Xiaoxishan to rise all the way, which is astonishing.

He thought in his heart that his little family background was definitely not enough, and he had to spend time with his grandmother.If you want to establish a household in the future, you have to find a way to do a few small businesses, and you can't rely on your family for everything.If this is the case, this husband gang will definitely not be able to cheer up.

Wei Zhao wandered far away, but the people in Zhen Guohou's mansion could not sleep or eat at ease.

The batch of killers who came last night were all well-trained and extremely cunning, but some of them were captured alive and died immediately by swallowing poison.Wei Ru was furious.

Ning Zhiyuan said: "Master Hou, since those people mistook the villain for the third son of your family, and seeing their actions are so fierce, they must not give up until they achieve their goals. In my opinion, it is better to use the villain as a bait to call those people Capture the villain, and Lord Hou will send people to follow, we will be able to find the lairs of those people and wipe them out in one fell swoop."

Zhen Guohou waved his hand: "These people are vicious, we don't know what their purpose is for the time being, how can they put you in danger."

"Those people spend a lot of time trying to capture the third son alive, so they definitely won't take the third son's life. They think they want to exchange the third son for something. Before they achieve their goal, the villain will not have to worry about his life of."

"Thank you Mr. Ning for your kindness. It's just that Zhao'er's whereabouts are unknown now. If Zhao'er finally falls into their hands again, Mr. Ning's situation will be very dangerous."

Ning Zhiyuan said: "If those killers still come to the house to rob people tonight, it means that the third son has not been found by them. At that time, Lord Hou will not stop the villain. You must find out what the purpose of these people is, otherwise the third son will always was in danger."

"Why are you so stubborn, kid? Speaking of it, Zhao'er messed around and implicated Mr. Ning..."

Ning Zhiyuan shook his head, and made a salute to Wei Ru: "Third Young Master's disappearance is also caused by the villain. If the villain falls into Huichuntang's hands, I'm afraid he will either die or be disabled. In conclusion, the Third Young Master saved the little one." One life."

Wei Ru sighed: "I can't say enough about you scholars. Well, there's still a day left, maybe there will be good news."

Strange things happen every year, especially this year.

Qingshui Street remained open all night. When the vendors opened their doors in the morning, they found that several shops were closed.Some people in the alley also said that they smelled a bit of blood, maybe those ghosts in Nanfu came to claim their lives again.

Everyone is in groups of three or four, whispering to each other.All eyes turned to Huichuntang, and said in a low voice: "Even Huichuntang didn't hide, it seems that this matter is quite big."

"That's enough, that's all. Didn't you see that the military masters on the street have not withdrawn yet, and even the officials of the Beifu have come down to search. This matter is not over yet."

"But it's true. Hey, look at that one over there. He's been laughing for a long time. I've already drank two pots of tea. You said he's not too tired to panic."

The man raised his hand and said, "I think it's probably crazy."

Changsun Ke reined in the horse in front of the man who was laughing wildly, reached out his hand to catch the man's pulse, his eyelids trembled slightly, and it was true that he had been hit by Qibuxiao, and the toxin had gradually subsided, and the poisoning time was about an hour ago.

He continued to ride forward, and saw someone laughing madly again, and his family members rushed him to the hospital.Several similar patients have been admitted to a nearby medical clinic, and the doctors are frowning and helpless.

After chasing him outside the west city gate, there were no more clues.

Those people took Wei Zhao out of the city.One, they went to Xiaoxishan.Both, they are in a nearby village.Three, they went to the field.In this way, it is like finding a needle in a haystack.

The corners of Changsun Ke's lips were tense. Shengjing City has developed water transportation, and most of the trips are by boat.If they want to go to other places, it is most convenient to take the waterway.

The city gate opened at Yin time, and it was already three quarters in the afternoon.According to the calculation of the time when those people were poisoned, Wei Zhao passed by Qingshui Street and sprinkled poisonous powder until No. 1 was poisoned, which should have been an hour ago.From there to the west gate, it takes about two minutes to walk, and it takes half the time to take a car.

Changsun Ke then asked the gatekeeper: "At around noon, how many cars are there for leaving the city from this gate, no matter how high or low?"

The sergeant replied respectfully: "The villain is on duty at noon. I was eating tea at a tea stand not far in front of me. I was going to watch the excitement at the city gate. I just finished drinking a cup of tea before my shift, and I passed [-] carriages. , four ox carts. After the shift, there is about a cup of tea time, and there are probably four horse carts and three ox carts. Now that Qingming is approaching, the season is just right, many people go out of the city to enjoy, and there are naturally more horses and carts than usual A little bit."

Shengjing City is strictly controlled. Cars, horses and pedestrians line up in two columns at the gate of the city, and they are inspected separately.The duty of the gatekeeper sergeant is to guard the city gate, and a habit of counting will naturally develop over time.Even if you don't plan it deliberately, the passing chariots and horses will naturally be imprinted in your mind.

"Did you find anything special?"

The gatekeeper sergeant thought for a while and said: "It's nothing special, but for some reason among the people waiting in line to enter the city, someone suddenly went mad and laughed. At that time, the villain was changing value, and he was talking to his colleagues on the lower duty. Eleven carriages..."

"Eleven?"

"Yes, these eleven cars all belong to the same mansion, and they are all extravagant. Even the servants are arrogant. Shengjing is prosperous, and there are countless nobles. Those who seem to be so ostentatious, except for the people of Feng's mansion Well, it’s the first time I’ve seen the villain. Oh, no. I’ve seen the villain once after the Spring Festival, and I don’t know which family member in the city came back from another state, and the ostentation was very grand.”

"That is to say, some passers-by went crazy after these eleven cars passed by?"

The sergeant nodded: "At that time, the last car probably reached..." He pointed to the weeping willow about a mile outside the city gate: "It must have reached there."

"Do you know which family the eleven cars belong to?"

The sergeant scratched his head and smiled: "The villain is interested in asking, isn't it too late?"

Hearing this question, the sergeant who was inspecting passers-by at the side hurried forward and replied, "You know, it's a family member of the Lu family. I've seen the car and the servant in the car before, so it's definitely from the Lu family."

"Which Lu family?"

"That's right, it's Lu Xiangye's elder brother, Master Lu, Minister of Guanglu Temple."

Changsun Ke looked at the smoke and dust rolled up by the carriage outside the city gate, his eyes narrowed slightly.

"Lu Zhan."

It was not the end of the day when we arrived at Xiaoxishan Bieyuan.

The mountain is cool, and the heat of the sun is gone through the layers of leaves.If it wasn't for his physical inconvenience, Wei Zhao would really like to have fun before reciting a poem.

It's a pity that he just took a look at the clear spring water drawn from the mountain, and was pushed into the house, and then the door was locked from the outside.

Wei Zhao shook his numb hands and feet, and laughed, "Finally, I know how to untie the rope for my master."

As he spoke, his stomach growled uncontrollably.He just remembered that since he woke up in the morning, he has only eaten one piece of pancake.

He fumbled in the front of his clothes, but fortunately, the rough-faced steamed bun he bit into last night was still there.It's a little hard at this time, but it's better than starving.

While biting the steamed bun, he thought about his situation, and the free hand involuntarily stroked a pill hidden in his sleeve pocket...

The sun gradually went down, and Si Jing didn't come back until the room was too dark to see.He asked someone to light the lamp first, Wei Zhao saw that he was carrying a food box, and thought that the master of this family had already eaten dinner.

"Eat, eat enough to give you strength to serve my young master." Si Jing put down the food box and waved towards the door. Immediately, several servants came in with wooden buckets and filled the large bathtub behind the screen. , and placed a basket of flower petals on the side.

Wei Zhao twitched the corner of his mouth and ignored it.

"I advise you to be honest. If the young master is happy, you will also be rewarded. If the young master is unhappy..." He wrapped the floral handkerchief in his hand and said viciously: "I will throw you to the mountain to feed the wolves .”

Wei Zhao narrowed his eyes at him: "You'd better be polite to me, in case I have some pillow talk with your son, you don't want to end well."

Si Jing gave him a hard look, and beckoned him out.

Wei Zhao didn't eat anything in the food box, who knows if there are any special ingredients added there.He got up and walked around the screen, and through the oil lamp in the room, he could vaguely see a thin shadow outside, it must be Si Jing guarding outside.He stepped back to the window again, wet his fingers, and poked a hole in the window paper.Facing the moonlight, one could vaguely see the shadowy figure projected on the ground.It seems that there are still guards on this roof.

Wei Zhao thought for a while, walked to the table and threw the pills he had been clutching in his hand into the teapot to dissolve, then closed his eyes and rested his mind.

As the moon rises to the top of the tree, a sudden "squeak" sound resounds through the silent night, and a young man in a crow-blue brocade dress pushes the door open and enters.Wei Zhao raised his eyes and saw that the visitor was slightly thinner, with a thin white complexion and slanted eyes, and he was looking him up and down at the moment.I don't know what I found, and I frowned suddenly, with a bit of sullenness.

"Why don't you change your clothes?"

He meant the tulle dress.

Wei Zhao supported his chin with one hand, tilted his head and smiled, "It's not interesting."

The boy raised his eyebrows and said 'oh' with interest: "How can you be interesting?"

Wei Zhao bent his fingers and tapped on the table, motioning for the young man to sit down.Then he picked up the tulle to cover the oil lamp, and suddenly the light became dim and unreal.

"Look, the meaning of being slightly drunk, the hazy beauty, complements this tulle dress."

"so what?"

Wei Zhao threw away the tulle shirt, and the light suddenly brightened again.

"My lord has experienced a lot of love, and I'm used to seeing all kinds of scenes. My little trick won't catch your lord's eyes. However, if I get drunk, maybe I will make you more satisfied?"

The young man sneered: "You talk about it all because you want to get me drunk. Why don't you tell me that I don't drink alcohol, so you should put away your little thoughts and serve me obediently."

Wei Zhao's eyes narrowed slightly, and then he said with a smile, "Since we use tea instead of wine, what matters is the artistic conception. Let's not get drunk today, let's see if the young master can get drunk for a while."

"Drunk tea?" The young man's eyes lingered presumptuously on Wei Zhao, as if he was not in a hurry to taste it, but cooperated with him very patiently.To him, the person in front of him is just something in the palm of his hand, after all, it cannot escape from the palm of his hand.

He patted Wei Zhao's wrist lightly, leaned over and whispered in his ear: "Then ask the beauty to pour me a cup of tea, I have been working hard all day, and I want to drink a cup of beauty tea to relieve my boredom. "

Wei Zhao lowered his eyes and raised his hand to pour tea.The fragrance of tea is overflowing, and the room is full of fragrance, with a somewhat intoxicating taste.

The young man raised his head and sniffed slightly, and said with a smile, "Sure enough, the tea is poured by a beauty. The fragrance of the tea is stronger than before. I'm really drunk to death."

"Then please give me a taste, my lord." Wei Zhao handed over the teacup with a smile.

The young man didn't pick it up, but drank the cup of tea in Wei Zhao's hand, keeping his eyes fixed on Wei Zhao's face, and said with a low smile, "The beauty is drunk."

Wei Zhao poured a few more glasses for him, until the young man lost his patience, pulled Wei Zhao away and wanted to untie his belt.Wei Zhao half-pushed and led him to the inner room behind the screen. The young man's face was flushed and his breath was short of breath. He grabbed Wei Zhao's clothes and seemed to want to say something, but he couldn't say a word.

Wei Zhao didn't care about anything else at this time, he took off the young man's coat and put it on himself hastily, counting a few times silently, the young man passed out as expected.He waited in the room for a while, then walked to the door and lowered his voice to Si Jing who was guarding the door, "Go get water."

Si Jing responded and withdrew.

Wei Zhao waited for a while before pushing open the door, and walked out of the room swaggeringly.
