Startled Meng

"Xia Changying rescued the child and lived here for a while." Ruku pushed open the rotten wooden door and waved the thick dust floating in the air.

The small courtyard is located in Junyi County outside the city. No one has set foot in it for many years. There is a dry well in the courtyard.

Yu Fangzhi pressed both hands on the doorknob, and when he was about to push the door open, he held it still. The area three to four inches below the doorknob was polished and glowed slightly. to the place.

With a sound of "squeak", the sound of the door opening startled the bats hanging upside down in the house. Yu Fangzhi swung the spider web behind the door and looked at the footprints in the house with a little surprise.

Ru Ku squatted on the ground and inspected it carefully, saying: "It's new, someone came back recently!"

This series of footprints spreading in the house is easy to remind people of Xia Changying, and it is reasonable to visit the former residence when he comes back.

Yu Fangzhi: "He probably doesn't know that his whereabouts have been monitored."

Ruku touched the footprints, and showed Yu Fangzhi his finger with a little yellow powder, "It looks like pollen."

Yu Fangzhi also found this yellow powder on the wooden table next to the bed. The powder fell on a sweep of uneven thickness, which should be left when the wide sleeves stained with pollen passed across the table.

"At this time, a hundred flowers bloom, pollen can be found everywhere inside and outside the city, but so many..."

Yu Fangzhi twirled his fingertips, wrapped the pollen in yellow paper and handed it to Ruku, who asked Ruku to investigate. Then, he opened the window and jumped out, continuing to search everywhere.If Xia Changying can be found, the old case, the old friend, everything will have a clue, so it is only right for master and servant to work hard.

But Xia Changying seemed to just come in and hang around, and left without leaving any useful information. Yu Fangzhi looked everywhere, and besides coming up with a picture of a big and a small living together, he also wanted to Nothing else.

Soon, the two left, and not long after they left, Yan Cijing came with someone.

There were a lot of people with them, and they rummaged and searched noisily, completely covering up the footprints of Yu Fangzhi and Ruku not long ago, and some people saw the scratches on the table and called Yan Cijing to take a look.

Yan Cijing's expression changed drastically when he saw it, because the bitter cauliflower pollen he asked You Su to leave had been wiped away!

In addition to being surprised, he squeezed his hands in cold sweat and swore to himself that no matter who else was looking for clues about Xia Changying, he would lure that person to Shisanpo.

Hu En who followed was slack, wiped the dust off his face, and said, "Master Yan, you can't find any clues if you search again, why don't you go back?"

Yan Cijing saw that he was impatient, thought for a while, and said, "Although I already know that Xia Changying will appear on Shisanpo, I don't know what Black Eagle's plan is..."

Hu En said: "I know the residence of Hei Ying. Hei Ying's things are all in the room. Master Yan will come with me."

Hu En has been with Hei Ying for many years, and he has learned a lot from the sycophant. When leading the way, in order to please Yan Cijing, he revealed all of Hei Ying's private affairs.

"Hei Ying is not afraid of men and women. He is beautiful and young. As long as he is attractive, he will use whatever he can to get people to play with them. The house on Jingkang Street is dedicated to those things. People are killed. Just throw it out through the back door, the little ones can't stand it for a long time, Mr. Yan, you don't know, do you? He really can't be human—"

"Hu En," Yan Cijing wanted to ask him about other things, "You have many complaints against Black Eagle, why have you followed him so hard all these years?"

Hu En spat, gritted his teeth and said, "I'm in his hands, what can I do?"

"Selling the contract?" Yan Cijing's heart was half cold, that's right, Hu En was just an errand runner, far from being able to control it with Yujin Wan, and besides, how could such an evil thing like Yujin Wan be casually shown to others ?Asking again couldn't find anything, so Yan Cijing had no choice but to listen silently to Hu En's abuse of his old master.

Arriving at Heiying's residence, Hu En took out the stolen key, opened the door with ease, and let Yan Cijing in.

"Damn! It's late!" Hu En trembled with anger when he saw the messy house that had been turned over.

The wall collapsed and everyone pushed it down. Once Black Eagle died, the family's servants fled everywhere. Before leaving, they searched everywhere for valuables. Even the teacups in the pavilion were snatched away, leaving only broken porcelain on the ground.

Hoon rushed into the main house, rummaging through the collapsed shelves and open drawers.

"Damn! All the valuables have been taken away!"

Hei Ying has kept a lot of treasures over the years, and Hu Enlai lost all of them, but he is willing to take something away, and the gold piece embedded in the wood carving at the head of the bed has to be picked out no matter what.

Pulling it off and stuffing it into his sleeve, he thought of Yan Cijing again, and held it up with a wry smile: "Master Yan, please accept it."

Yan Cijing shook his head.

Hu En smiled and put the gold piece into his sleeve, flatteringly said: "Master Yan, what good things haven't you seen?"

Yan Cijing ignored him, rummaged through a pile of old things, and found a bunch of useless portraits, Yan Cijing looked at them a few more times, they were all pictures of secret dramas, accidentally mixed in a few pictures in palace costumes The picture of the concubine is quite eye-catching.

Seeing Yan Cijing staring at the portrait in a daze, Hu En ran over attentively and asked if he could help, Yan Cijing nodded and asked him to find secret passages and agencies.I don't know what Hu En has done before, but he did it very smoothly by knocking on the floor tiles and prying the corner of the wall. He found a jade ruyi, and also found a bunch of porcelain bottles in the mechanism on the wall.

The quality and style of the porcelain bottle was good, and it was good that he didn't have to sell it for money. Hu En pulled the stopper and poured out all the pills.

Seeing this, Yan Cijing walked over quickly, grabbed the pills of various colors on the ground and looked closely, the ones that were black were not, no, they were all black!

"Master Yan, your body is not weak, what do you want these for?"

Yan Cijing asked, "Are these tonics?"

Hu En nodded: "Really? I see black eagles eating every day." As he spoke, he found another jade jar on the wall, and grabbed it into his hand with green eyes.

As soon as he opened the lid, the whole box was snatched by Yan Cijing. He didn't dare to say anything. He saw Yan Cijing pour a black and gold pill into his sleeve and threw the jade jar away.

"No, I want it!" Hu En muttered and picked up the jade jar and put it into his sleeve.

Yan Cijing got the taro gold pills, and remembered the red and black antidote that he had eaten that day, but the medicine bottle in the dark room had been turned over, and the antidote was not found.

After leaving Heiying's residence, Yan Cijing went to the hospital.

"Get out of the way!"

The guards chased them away, Yan Cijing followed the crowd to hide under the eaves of the teahouse, seeing the carriage of Wei Mansion crossing the street arrogantly, filled with hatred in his heart.

Looking into the medical hall again, the old doctor was grabbing the medicine, Yan Cijing also reached into his sleeve, clutching the life-threatening pill tightly, thinking in his heart, if he sent the taro gold pill, the old doctor would definitely be able to Find an antidote?

Even if there is hope, it won't be found in a short time, he can't wait for that time, and the role that Taro Jin Wan can play is far more than saving lives.

Yan Cijing thought it over, turned and left.

Above the teahouse, Yu Fangzhi watched the chariots and horses of Wei's mansion go away from a distance, and said, "Wei Cheng must be suffering for a while."

The matter of the hidden prince was exposed, and the rest of the court officials avoided talking about it. It does not mean that there is no contest in their hearts. Zhang Shaoqiu waited to see Wei Cheng fall, and officials who did not participate in the party and government also complained. Suspicion, some are dissatisfied with Wei Cheng's forming a party for personal gain, and have long-standing grievances. No matter whether the starting point is the same, Yu Fangzhi has a way to make them form a force.

Thinking of this, Yu Fangzhi asked: "When will General He's messenger arrive?"

Ruku replied, "There are still two more days."

Yu Fang knew that he wanted to send someone to respond, Ru Kuo responded, and said: "Wei Cheng has deployed people inside and outside the city to scout for Xia Changying's clues, it seems that it is inevitable."

He already knows that the yellow powder comes from bitter cauliflower, and the largest bush of bitter cauliflower is to the north of the city gate. He has sent additional people to monitor the movement.Only Xia Changying knows Yan Jingping's whereabouts, and he must find Xia Changying.

Thinking all the way, before I knew it, I had arrived at the Yan Mansion.

Sitting high on his horse, he saw the carriage parked in front of Yan's mansion from afar.

Xia Changying was the third-ranked scholar, and the crown prince also disappeared after his death. Following his life and death can be regarded as a kind and righteous man, and next door to him lived a Yan Zhuangyuan who was the third-ranked scholar, who was far worse than Xia Changying. very.

Yu Fang led his horse into Yu's house knowingly, Xiao Qing waited at the door, watched the excitement and ran out without hesitation, saw Yan Cijing enter the mansion without saying a word, gleefully said to Juniper: "Your lord's temperament is so bad that my young master doesn't even want to go there."

Jun Jun didn't say anything, and walked behind Yan Cijing, and Du Yan also ran in the door.

Xiaoqing was making fun of herself, and muttered with her sleeves in her sleeves: "It must be that Haitang who caused the trouble! Master Yan scolded my young master with jealousy, which made him angry. Master Yan is really, I don't know if the young master is soft or hard."

"Why did you come out again?" Xiaoqing pointed to Du Yan who ran out with a bag.

Du Yan didn't say a word, threw the bag under Xiao Qing's feet, and ran back to the house in a huff. The begonia rolled up, and ran home angrily.

When he found Yu Fangzhi in the yard, Yu Fangzhi was staring at Kazuki Begonia in a daze.

Xiaoqing could see that Yu Fangzhi was sad, and she didn't dare to provoke him with the thrown away crabapple, so she slowly backed out with her burden in her arms.

The garden is quiet, only the sound of the wind and the fragrance of begonias accompany the words.

The wind was strong, and two or three petals of flowers were rolled up and sent to other places. Yu Fangzhi suddenly stretched out his hand to grab them, but unfortunately the wind sent out pushed the fine petals farther away. Yu Fangzhi no longer reluctantly, muttered to himself:

"He doesn't care about me at all..."
