Maung-mei is wrong

Chapter 60 Preparation

Zuo Hengqiu looked at You Xiao coldly, this was the first time he met this child after he was captured by Miao Sheng.At that time when he was drawing the secret sign, he actually noticed You Xiao was nearby, but because the other party was a child, he didn't raise his vigilance, he was defeated by an eight-year-old child, and he didn't want to mention such embarrassing things for the rest of his life.

"Uncle, I was wrong, I apologize to you." You Xiao expressed his sincerity, Putao's big eyes gleamed faintly under the moonlight, his small face was both beautiful and pitiful, and the beauty spot between his eyebrows added to him. Seeing You Lian, I said, "Can you not tell Brother Ying Xian? I really just happened to pass by, and then... I didn't dare to move, I didn't mean to eavesdrop!"

"... Forget it, there's nothing we can't let you know about it." Zuo Hengqiu was upset when he saw You Xiao. He didn't know about the entanglement between You Xiao and Miao Sheng. He just felt that this child was now his own. , You really don't need to hide from him what you just said.

You Xiao immediately smiled: "Thank you uncle! I'll go to Brother Ying Xian, he has a performance tonight, I'll help you, it will be safe!"

After saying that, he thumped and ran away.Zuo Hengqiu waited for half a stick of incense, and Zhuo Ying hurried back.

"Brother Zuo, I asked you clearly. Tonight, Duan Zhanmei asked someone to vacate the Yuanlong Building in the front yard, and even asked someone to clean up the Xieyue Zhai on the second floor. Presumably, he wanted to discuss matters with Peng Yuanwai and Lei Laosan there." Zhuo Ying Said idlely, "I don't know where you are hiding, so I will take you to see it in person later. For the sake of convenience, You Xiao, you know, just that weird kid, he said he wanted to find a Lu Qiqin." People, tell you to disguise yourself as the other party..."

"Brother Ying Xian, Uncle Zuo!" You Xiao ran over panting, followed by Shi Qi and Xie Hui, both of them were carrying one in their hands.

Zhuo Yingxian pointed to his room, and they carried him in.Zuo Hengqiu also entered the room with Zhuo Yingxian.

What You Xiao found was an old handyman in his 40s. He was usually responsible for some cleaning work. He always lowered his head and didn't like to socialize with others. Lu Qiqin's people knew him well, but they didn't know him very well. Talking with him is just suitable for Zuo Hengqiu to disguise himself as him.

Zhuo Ying was busy putting on makeup, Zuo Hengqiu also looked in the mirror, and quickly changed his face into the appearance of that old handyman.Later, he asked about the other person's usual behavior and habits, knowing that the person was hunched over and walked slowly, so he learned it, and You Xiao repeatedly praised him.

Coincidentally at this moment, Miao Sheng knocked on the door to urge Zhuo Ying to wait idle, Zuo Hengqiu lowered his head and opened the door for him, bowed his bow and left anxiously.

"Why did he come to your room?" Miao Sheng looked at Zuo Hengqiu's back and asked Zhuo Yingxian suspiciously.

You Xiao and Zhuo Yingxian looked at each other and laughed at the same time.

"Uncle Zuo is really superb!" You Xiao said enviously.

Second Monk Miao Shengzhang was puzzled and looked dazed, Zuo Hengqiu flashed out from the door again, startling him: "Why are you back again?!"

Zhuo Yingxian then explained that it was Zuo Hengqiu, and told Miao Sheng about what happened tonight.He planned to finish the performance tonight, so he invited the three bosses to the private room for a short talk, and learned from their mouths. For the convenience of movement, he chose Weiyu Xiaozhu not far from the opposite of Yuanlong Tower.

"If this is the case, where will Mr. Zuo be?" Miao Sheng wondered, and at the same time cupped his hands, "I offended you last time, I'm sorry."

"There is no need to mention the past." Zuo Hengqiu cupped his hands in return, "Master Miao, do you know the structure of that floor?"

Miao Sheng: "..."

"I know!" You Xiao jumped up and down a few times, and said excitedly, "Yuanlong Tower is a bamboo building, and the inside is full of bamboo frames, which are empty! There is a big gap between each floor, and Uncle Zuo can hide in it." Under the floor!"

Now Miao Sheng and Zhuo Yingxian looked strange together, and said in unison: "How do you know?"

"Because I got in!" You Xiao was very proud, "Hide and seek with Lu Ye and the others, so many of them searched the yard and couldn't find me!"

Lu Ye was the maid who took care of You Xiao on weekdays. She couldn't find You Xiao that day, and thought she had lost the child, she was almost scared out of her wits.

"Xiao'er can hide there, but Mr. Zuo is a grown man, I'm afraid..."

"It doesn't matter, I have my own way." Zuo Hengqiu said with a slight smile.

Miao Sheng nodded and looked at Zhuo Yingxian: "It's almost time, let's go out. Mr. Zuo, you and Xiao Er will come out later."

You Xiao patted his chest: "Wrap it on me!"

After leaving the door, Zhuo Yingxian said to Miao Sheng in a low voice: "If Duan Zhanmei asks you to have a drink with them tonight, you must find a way to refuse."

"Why?" Miao Sheng asked suspiciously, and then smiled wryly, "You think too much, Zhanmei wished to lock me up and let no one see, how could I be allowed to drink with others? Even if he was present."

"I'll explain the reason to you later, in short, you stay in your room for a while and don't go anywhere." Zhuo Yingxian reminded, "Don't talk to people who meet Duan Zhanmei, don't eat what they give, if you bump into Duan Zhanmei Don’t talk to that member of Peng, either. If he insists on pestering you, cover your face and say that you have a contagious disease, and run away from him.”

Zhuo Yingxian felt that Duan Zhanmei and Peng Yuanwai should be busy discussing matters today, and they would not attack Miao Sheng for the time being, so he gave these instructions and planned to explain to him later in the evening.

After all, this matter has to be thought through before it can be euphemistically said. If Miao Sheng knows that Duan Zhanmei actually sacrificed him for his own self-interest, I'm afraid he will wipe his neck on the spot.

Miao Sheng could hear what Zhuo Yingxian meant.Every time Peng Yuanwai met, he would look at him with greasy eyes, so he naturally knew what was going on in this person's mind.

Even Zhanmei himself said that if he hadn't had to do business with that bastard, he would have chopped him into pieces and thrown them into the Sunset River.

But Zhuo Yingxian hinted that Duan Zhanmei would trade himself with Yuanwai Peng, Miao Sheng also didn't believe it.

It's not because he thinks how much he loves her, but because of his perverted possessiveness.

Zuo Hengqiu and You Xiao stayed in Zhuo Ying's spare room, they stared at each other.You Xiao couldn't stop looking at him, making him a little irritable.

"Look at what?" He glared at the child.

You Xiao was not afraid, he said with a smile: "Uncle Zuo, can you teach me to disguise myself?"

"What are you learning this for?" Zuo Hengqiu curled his lips, "You might as well study more and get a job test."

"Learning more skills won't hinder the exam." You Xiao thought for a while, then asked, "Hiding in the floor for a while, can you really hear what they are saying?"

Zuo Hengqiu snorted coldly: "That's natural."

"What if the floor is very thick? It's about this thick." You Xiao gestured about six or seven inches with both hands.

"That's not scary, I have tools."

You Xiao's eyes lit up immediately: "What tool?!"

Zuo Hengqiu hesitated for a moment before taking out something from his bosom.

The object looked rather strange, one end was a black iron plate about the width of a man's palm, but it was not flat, but one side was slightly raised and tapered, and the other side was covered with a layer of dark leather.You Xiao stretched out his hand and poked it, the leather was very tight and elastic.

There are several buckles around the iron plate, and a soft iron pipe extends from each symmetrical side, and each end of the pipe is connected to a small oval iron plate, which is as long as a human ear, and the circumference of the small iron plate is about an inch. Wide leather, very soft to the touch.

You Xiao asked curiously: "What is this for? Can iron be so soft?"

"It's not a whole piece of iron sheet, it's specially processed. In fact, it's made of small iron rings tightly connected, and the inner core is also a tube made of leather." Zuo Hengqiu said, "Guan Ye said that iron has a good sound transmission effect. , the leather can not only cover the noise, but also protect the sound... I can't explain it, but it works well anyway."

"Guan Ye? Is it my father's adoptive father? I heard him mention it."

"Well, he is a very capable person."

Zuo Hengqiu fastened the two small iron plates at both ends of the iron pipe to You Xiao's ears—it turned out that the leather wrapped around them was to wrap people's ears tightly. He couldn't buckle it, so he could only support it with both hands.

"Ahem!" Zuo Hengqiu coughed twice on the leather side of the big iron pan, but it reached You Xiao's ears like thunder, and he immediately took the small iron pan off his ears.

You Xiao's eyes widened: "Wow! It's so amazing!"

"It's called iron ears. It can amplify the effect several times with the sound that can't be heard by the human ear. It can also be used as a listening pillow by removing the two hoses. Listening to the sound of horseshoes in the wild is better than relying on a pair of ears alone." Go a few miles away." Zuo Hengqiu said proudly, "If you can lead for a moment on the battlefield, you can increase your chances of winning by one point."

"You red boas are so powerful! Everyone has their own unique skills, even the stupid big bamboo pole is so good at kung fu, and can speak Duyu dialect." You Xiao sighed, and asked suddenly, "My father's What is the stunt?"

Zuo Hengqiu looked puzzled: "How do I know about your father?"

"My father is your team leader!" You Xiao said displeased, "Didn't he tell you?"

Zuo Hengqiu: "..."

What is Lao Nie doing?Knowing that she has no queen, she pre-arranged a son?

"Ah, what, I didn't have time to say it." Zuo Hengqiu thought for a while, and suddenly found that Nie Yunhan did not seem to have any special skills in these areas, so he suddenly encountered difficulties. Let him show timidity in front of him, I'm afraid the consequences will not be so good.

You Xiao still raised his head and looked at him eagerly: "Isn't my father a unique skill?"

"Of course there is! He is the leader, our boss, isn't that powerful enough?" Zuo Hengqiu said awkwardly as he could not live up to the child's full expectations, and continued, "He has hills and valleys in his chest, He is wise and resourceful, and he is the best at taking care of his brothers. He takes the lead in everything, and takes on the most difficult and dangerous things by himself. All those who have followed him are convinced of him."

"My father's greatest ability is resourcefulness and courage, right?" You Xiao heard this, his eyes filled with yearning, "I want to be like him."

Zuo Hengqiu thought for a while, nodded and said seriously: "It's definitely right to look at him. It's getting late, shouldn't we go to that Yuanlong Tower?"

A moment later, outside the Yuanlong Tower.

In a place that is normally left unattended, there are two people standing at the door, both under Duan Zhanmei's subordinates.However, the level of the so-called "sentinels" was sloppy, one was sitting tiredly on the steps, and the other was standing lazily with a knife in his arms, both looking absent-minded.

The two of them were thinking in their hearts, the left and right Xie Yuezhai is not the top floor, and the surrounding rooms are all empty. If someone wants to eavesdrop, it is impossible to hang outside the building, right?Can you see it without a glance?

"Bai Yuer, Bai Yuer, where are you?! Come out!"

It was You Xiao's voice, both subordinates were stunned for a moment, following the voice, they saw the child looking around looking for something, walking towards here.

You Xiao walked up to them, and as soon as he saw them, he jumped up and shouted anxiously: "You two! Help me find Bai Yu'er!"

The one who was sitting stood up immediately, and looked at the other person, wondering: "Young Master You, we are ordered to stay here and not run around."

"What is there to keep in my yard, and there is no gold, silver or treasure in it!" You Xiao said angrily, "Go and help me find it, it will run out later! If you don't listen, I will sue my uncle !"

Most people don't know that Miao Sheng's words have no deterrent effect on Duan Zhanmei. They only know that he is the master's best friend, and the master loves him very much. Naturally, he can't offend him by opening such a big store. .

It's just that today's matter is quite embarrassing.

Looking at their expressions, You Xiao took the initiative and said: "How about one of you go find it for me, and I'll stay here with the other, it's always okay?"

The two subordinates exchanged glances again, and one of them took the initiative: "Okay, I'll go, you wait here, what is Bai Yuer? Rabbit? Dog? Or cat?"

You Xiao cheered up, and exhorted: "It's a white rabbit, don't make a mistake!"

The subordinate was dejected: "Understood, but at most I will help you find half a stick of incense time, and the master will come over in a while, and if he finds out that I am not there, I will die."

"Okay, okay! You are so capable, you will definitely find it."

Seeing that person leave, You Xiao curiously asked the other person: "There is no one guarding here on weekdays, why is it so guarded today? Is there any distinguished guest here tonight?"

The subordinate nodded perfunctorily: "Yeah."

"Then I'll check and check for you!" You Xiao said and ran into the building.

Subordinate: "..."

Forget it, let him go, what kind of storm can a brat like him cause, besides, there are still guards in the building.

You Xiao quietly entered the Yuanlong Tower, he didn't go upstairs, he just looked up at the stairs, and saw a few people guarding it.

"Why are you here?"

Suddenly a rough voice sounded, startling You Xiao, looking back, it was Shi Yu.

"I still have to ask you!" You Xiao said confidently, "What are you doing hiding here without saying a word? It's so scary to be sneaky!"

Shi Yu has been in a bad mood for the past two days, and seeing this child makes his head ache even more: "I have something important to do here later, you should leave quickly."

"I'm here because I have something important to do!" You Xiao swaggered open the doors of each private room on the first floor and checked them one by one, "Uncle said today's matter is very important to your master, so I will help you as much as I can." dessert."

Shi Yu: "..."

This kid always loves to pretend, let him go, there is no point in arguing for anything, and he will cry later and get himself into trouble.

When You Xiao saw that Shi Yu didn't stop him, he became more energetic and looked at every room. When he entered the private room called Han Ning Zhai, which was directly below Xie Yue Zhai, he turned his back to block his hands, and pulled the window latch. Open it, and push the window open a little.

When he finished "inspecting" the first floor and wanted to go to the second floor, Shi Yu stopped him and said under control, "Young Master You, enough is enough."

You Xiao looked at his gloomy face, showed a trace of panic just right, and said to cover up: "Well, I think there are too many people upstairs, so there must be no mistakes, so let's do it."

With his hands behind his back, he swaggered out of the small building. Seeing that the same man was still at the door, he couldn't help frowning: "I, Bai Yu'er, haven't been found yet? Why are you so stupid?!"

The subordinate was quite embarrassed, and didn't know how to reply, so he said: "How is the inspection in the young master's building?"

"It's okay!" You Xiao showed a dissatisfied look, and sighed, "That's it!"

There was a faint cry of a crow not far away, You Xiao understood, and suddenly pointed to the sky: "Hey, look, is that the cry of a crow?"

Taking advantage of the fact that his men were distracted by You Xiao, Zuo Hengqiu ran out from the hiding place, took advantage of the cover of the night, and climbed up to the second floor swiftly and silently, through the window that You Xiao opened a crack just now. He jumped into Han Ningzhai lightly.

Shi Yu was wandering back and forth on the first floor, he was far away from Han Ning Zhai at this time, so he didn't notice it.

The Han Ning Zhai is quite spacious and elegantly decorated. There is a couch in the small hall, facing the tea table, a piano table on one side, and a bedroom separated by layers of curtains on the other side.

Zuo Hengqiu quickly observed the whole environment in the dark, stepped on the round table near the door in the small hall, raised his hand on tiptoe and reached the roof, with his hands lightly, a piece of bamboo board was dismantled by him. See the frame of the house built of thick bamboo inside.

The frame gap is not wide, only about a foot wide square gap, Zuo Hengqiu frowned slightly, and then broke off two bamboo boards.

When Shi Yu wandered not far from Han Ning Zhai, he also heard the "pop" sound of bamboo boards falling off. He scanned the row of rooms in front of him suspiciously, not knowing which room made the sound.

Within a few breaths, he made a judgment, fixed his gaze on Han Ningzhai, and pushed the door open to rush in!

There was no lamp in the room, it was dark, the windows were closed, and only a little light came in through the moonlight through the window paper.

Shi Yu's eyes were shining in the dark, scraping every corner of the room inch by inch, he held his breath and listened to all suspicious sounds, the saber at his waist was out of its sheath, and he held it tightly in his hand.

But at this moment, just above his head, Zuo Hengqiu poked out half of his face from the gap that hadn't been filled in time, staring at Shi Yu with good eyes.

After patrolling the room several times, Shi Yu seemed relieved and left Han Ning Zhai.

Only then did Zuo Hengqiu lightly cover the last piece of bamboo board.He seems to be able to shrink bones, his whole body is tightly embedded in the gap of the frame, only his two hands can move, but any movement that is a little bigger will make a sound.

Looking at the distance now, he is a bit far away from Xie Yue Zhai. He wanted to climb up a few grids along the frame, but unfortunately the gap between the grids is too small to move.

While there was no one around at the moment, Zuo Hengqiu struggled to take out the iron ear from his bosom and gestured for it. Fortunately, the iron pipe was long enough, so he turned the leather-covered side upwards, and raised his arm up enough to reach the upper one. On the bottom side of the floor of the first floor, "nail" the iron ear to the bottom side of the floor with buckles.

Just as he pressed the last buckle with a "click", hurried footsteps were heard outside the room, the door of Han Ning Zhai was pushed open again, and Shi Yu walked in again with a bright candlestick!

Zuo Hengqiu's entire body is stuck in different bamboo frames. He is currently in an extremely uncomfortable position with his hands stretched upwards. His upper body is slightly raised, his neck is propped up, and he is fully supported by his waist. However, he dare not move at all, for fear of There will be a sound when it moves.

In the Han Ning Zhai, Shi Yu used the candlestick to carefully illuminate every corner, including the closet and the couch, but he didn't notice it in the end. He suddenly raised his head, looked at the roof, and stared at the gap between the bamboo boards. What are you thinking.

The candlelight was flickering, and Shi Yu's eyes flickered from time to time. He looked at the table next to him, and brushed it to see that there was no dust on his fingers, but he seemed uneasy, so he dragged out the embroidered pier under the table, Step on the table.

Zuo Hengqiu still maintained the previous posture, his head was covered with beads of sweat, he couldn't even turn his head to look at the situation below through the gap, he could only judge by listening to the sound.

With a "boom", the door of Han Ning Zhai was pushed open, and someone came running over, and he said to Shi Yu, "Brother Shi, the performance ahead is almost over, the master will come right away—what are you doing?"

The author has something to say:

The bamboo building here is not like the Dai bamboo building, but just a small building with bamboo and wood structure.

The name "Yuanlonglou" is taken from the sentence "Who said Yuanlonglou is lying down" in "The Tallest Building Chengguanzhulou Zuocheng" written by Teng Bin in the Yuan Dynasty.
