Early the next morning, Luo Xunfeng was awakened by the sound of reading a book.

He opened his eyes and found that the sky was bright and Shangguan's school had started.

Su Yu was not in the room, there were bowls and chopsticks on the table in the living room, and the food was turned upside down, obviously waiting for him to wake up.

Luo Xunfeng put on his outer shirt, opened the door and went out, the spring was beautiful outside, the houses were scattered and green trees everywhere, Su Yu was drying clothes by the hangers in the small courtyard, he washed all the clothes the two of them had worn for the past two days come out.

Seeing Luo Xunfeng come out, he hurriedly stopped what he was doing, wiped his hands on his body, and went up to him.

"Morning, young master." Su Yu walked towards Luo Xunfeng against the light. Today he was wearing a navy blue casual gown with narrow sleeves and long train. The rolled up sleeves revealed his nice forearms, and the simple long gown made him look tall and slender. , tall and straight, and the tight belt outlines his thin waistline.

"Morning, you got up so early to wash clothes?" Luo Xunfeng smiled, opened his arms, and asked Su Yu to help him tidy up his clothes.When he lowered his head, he could see Su Yu's hair swirls illuminated by the sun and the fair skin behind his ears.

For a moment, Luo Xunfeng felt in a trance, as if he and Su Yu had returned to the small courtyard of Xilin Village. This was an unusual morning for them in the small courtyard.

"When things are over, let's go back to Suzhou. One of the houses I bought is close to a private school, and I can hear the students reading every day." Luo Xunfeng said suddenly.

Su Yu gave a slight pause to his hands arranging his clothes, and then said, "Aren't you afraid, young master, that you won't be able to sleep because of the noise every day?" He fastened Luo Xunfeng's clothes, straightened up and helped him straighten his collar, lowered his head slightly to cover his eyes. He suppressed the expression on his face, but his tone was a little quizzical.

"How can I be so sleepy," Luo Xunfeng raised the corner of his mouth, "Isn't it because of..." He paused.

Su Yu raised his head, his eyes were clear.

"Isn't it because there is a guard who sleeps more peacefully." Luo Xunfeng said while turning his head.Seeing that there was still a piece of black clothes not hung in the tub in the courtyard, he walked over, and as soon as he bent down, Su Yu rushed over.

"Master, I'm coming!" Su Yu picked up his clothes first, and Luo Xunfeng saw that the tips of his ears were slightly red in the sun.

The last thing to hang up was night clothes. Fortunately, because Su Yu's clothes were basically black, it didn't look awkward to hang a few of them together in the yard.

Luo Xunfeng watched him hang up and straighten the clothes, and suddenly found some faint traces on the shoulders of the clothes that hadn't been washed off, like splashed mud spots, with a yellowish brown color, because it was black clothes, if it wasn't just in the sun, It should be unclear.

"What is this?" Luo Xunfeng pointed there.

Su Yu was a little embarrassed, "I don't know when this piece got on, and it can't be washed off no matter how much I wash it, anyway...it's just night clothes."

Luo Xunfeng nodded and didn't want to delve into it further.

The two went back to the house for dinner, but before they had time to clean up, Shangguan Rui's voice came from outside the courtyard——

"Brother Su Yu, Brother Feng, please help me!"

I saw Ah Rui standing outside the courtyard with a few teenagers, his expression solemn and filled with righteous indignation.

"What's going on?" Luo Xunfeng asked.

"Look!" Shangguan Rui held up a piece of red letter paper.

Luo Xunfeng took it over and saw that the letter was printed with a bloody handprint, and there was a paragraph——

"The saint is against the sky, violates the law of the ancestors, the sky is angry and the people complain, and the catastrophe is approaching, give way quickly to avoid the scourge of heaven."

The words on the letter were cut and paste from the typeface in the book, not handwritten.

"Where did this come from?" Luo Xunfeng asked with a frown as he handed the letter to Su Yu.

"Someone posted it on the pillar at the entrance of Baixian Pavilion this morning." Shangguan Rui said.

"Did you see who posted it?" Su Yu asked from the side.

"No." Shangguan Rui shook his head, and then said, "You don't need to look, I know who posted it! It must be Chai Kun."

"Chai Kun?"

"Yes!" Shangguan Rui clenched his fists excitedly, "Chai Kun took people to the back mountain to make trouble last night and injured sister Ziyuan. My sister said that they seem to have hired two experts to approach Chitong, but Scared away by Chitong. Early this morning, such a threatening letter appeared at the gate of Baixiang Pavilion. It must be Chai Kun’s fault. There is a way to convince my sister. Brother Su Yu and Brother Feng, I want to go to Chai Kun's house to find clues. If I find evidence of his evil deeds and announce it to everyone, the villagers will have a reason to oppose him, and they will be able to frustrate his reputation in the village. His arrogance! But we can't beat his subordinates at all, please help us!"

"Yes, yes, please help us!" Several teenagers behind Shangguan Rui echoed, they seemed to be quite on the same page with Shangguan Rui, presumably they were all his newborn calves' friends.

Luo Xunfeng heard half of it, covered his mouth and coughed dryly.He turned his head and saw Su Yu's eyes asking for instructions, so he nodded towards Su Yu and said, "Okay, how are you going to find clues?"

At this time, a tall boy said, "Chai Kun has a study at home, and the words on this letter were cut out from a book. We want to confront him face to face and ask him to take us to the study."

"I'm afraid this is a bit difficult." Luo Xunfeng said.

"If we don't confront him face to face, even if we find clues, he will definitely deny it. We have to find evidence in front of everyone." Shangguan Rui said.

"..." Luo Xunfeng raised his hand and stroked his chin, thoughtfully.

Shangguan Rui looked at him, his jaw tensed.

"Just do as you say." Luo Xunfeng said.

……

After half an hour.

The courtyard of Chai Kun's house was full of wailing, and a dozen or so thugs lay in disorder on the ground.

Chai Kun was grabbed by the shoulder by Su Yu and walked towards the inner courtyard.One arm was tied with a bandage and hung around his neck, cursing, "You little bastards, bullying others! Shangguan Rui, your sister hurt others first, and now you are slandering me again. I won't let you go." Pass yours!"

"Hehe, Master Chai, as the saying goes, 'the one who cleans himself will clear himself', if you have no ghosts in your heart, then take us to your study, I believe we will prove your innocence soon." Luo Xunfeng walked aside , while dusting the sleeves that were stained from the fight just now.

Chai Kun's face was livid, and being suppressed by Su Yu all the way, he led everyone to his study.

His study room is luxuriously furnished, all mahogany furniture, a desk in the middle of the wall, bookshelves, imperial concubine couch, incense burner, etc. on both sides, the bookshelves are mostly strange stones and porcelain decorations, but not many books.

"Just read those books, and be careful, if you damage my collection, you will pay for it!" Chai Kun said.

Several teenagers scattered around the bookshelves, flipping through the books.Su Yu pressed Chai Kun and stood aside, while Luo Xunfeng stood beside him with arms folded.

Those teenagers searched for a while and shook their heads. At this time, Shangguan Rui pointed to a strange stone on the bookshelf and said, "This stone is bright red, like a goldfish, is it carved?"

Chai Kun's face changed slightly, and he said impatiently, "No, no! This is a naturally formed strange stone, so don't mess with it. Every stone here is priceless, and you can't afford it if you touch it!"

Su Yu looked at the stone, and found that the "fish back" of the "goldfish" was slightly smoother than other parts. His eyes moved slightly, and he turned his gaze to Luo Xunfeng for instructions.

"Go and have a look." Luo Xunfeng said to him after taking over Chai Kun from him.

Su Yu stepped forward, stretched out his hand to hold the "fish back" part of the stone, and turned it around with his hand, the sound of the mechanism creaking was mixed with Chai Kun's lament, and the bookshelf in front of him was separated from the middle, revealing a secret door.

"Someone is coming! Robbery!" Chai Kun shouted, he struggled to get rid of Luo Xunfeng, who shouted "Shut up" and pushed him to the door of the secret room.

Shangguan Rui had already rushed in first.

The secret room was not very big, and there were a few locked boxes piled up in it, presumably locked gold, silver and jewelry, and two sacks that didn't match the style of the painting were piled on the ground.

Shangguan Rui tore open one of the sacks, and took out a handful of yellow particles from it.

"Corn kernels?" Luo Xunfeng looked at it from a distance.

"It's corn seeds." Shangguan Rui said, he looked carefully at the seeds in his hand, and suddenly shouted, "Look, everyone, Chai Kun has collected a lot of corn seeds with black spot disease!"

Everyone gathered around to take a look, and suddenly the pot exploded.

"Why are there so many black spot seeds?"

"Didn't Elder Sinon ask everyone to destroy all the diseased seeds last year?"

"If these seeds are planted, this year's harvest will not be all over!"

……

"What's going on?" Luo Xunfeng asked.

"Brother Feng, you don't know that corn is one of the main crops in our village. Last year, for some reason, the corn leaves in many people's fields had black spots, and the harvest was greatly reduced. and as long as there are sick seeds in the field, they can be transmitted to other corns by pollen after germination, and spread from ten to hundreds, causing disasters in the whole village. At that time, the source of the disease could not be found out. Where did it come from? Elder Si Nong asked everyone to destroy all the sick corn and seeds, and redistribute new seeds to everyone this year. But Chai Kun has collected so many sick seeds, and his family has a large cornfield. Sowing sick seeds, everyone will suffer again this year." Shangguan Rui explained, and he pointed at Chai Kun angrily, "Say! Last year, did you intentionally spread black spot disease and call the reduction of corn production a punishment from God, in order to get rid of it? Hit my sister?"

"I don't know what you're talking about! These are just seeds that I forgot to destroy." Chai Kun stopped talking and changed his stance unnaturally.

"Let's send someone to Elder Sinog to judge." A young man suggested.

……

Elder Sinog was quickly invited. He was an old man with long beard and white hair, and he brought two followers.

Seeing Chai Kun being restrained and several teenagers holding the secret room, Elder Sinog was quite surprised.

Shangguan Rui explained the ins and outs to him. Elder Sinon checked the seeds in the sack and said, "It is indeed the seeds of black spot disease. Master Chai, why do you keep so many sick seeds at home?"

"I forgot!" Chai Kun gritted his teeth.

At this moment, Shangguan Rui yelled again, "Elder Sinog, look!"

He bent down and pulled out a book from under a sack.

The book was opened, and several torn pages were displayed in front of everyone.

Shangguan Rui took out the threatening letter again and asked Elder Sinog to compare it. The elder frowned and looked at it for a while, then shook his head, "Master Chai, as the master of the village, what do you intend to do by intimidating the saintess?"

"I didn't do anything!" Chai Kun said. He stared at the human beings in the secret room, "I never wrote a threatening letter. You framed me!"

"The evidence is so strong, what else do you have to say!" Shangguan Rui said, and he asked Elder Si Nong, "Elder Tian, ​​can you tell from the corn seedlings in Chai Kun's field whether he has planted diseased seeds? "

"Now is the time for seedlings to grow. If it is a diseased seed, it will not get sick until the earing stage." Elder Tian twisted his beard and said, "But this year I have asked every household to sow good seeds. If there is another large-scale black spot disease, we can only infer that someone deliberately planted the diseased seeds, Village Master Chai, don’t you think so?”

"Hmph!" Chai Kun didn't answer, and turned his head to the side, Luo Xunfeng felt his shoulder tremble.

"Let me take these seeds and this book back, and inform the other elders about it." Elder Tian said.

"You!" As soon as Chai Kun moved, he felt the pressure on his shoulders double.

Luo Xunfeng smiled lightly, "I believe Village Master Chai will not disagree."

Chai Kun's face turned from blue to white amidst the cheers of the teenagers, and he shouted to the departing crowd, "If you dare to fight against me, you won't get any good fruit!" Shouting, he sat down to the ground.The servants of the Chai Mansion tremblingly avoided Luo Xunfeng and the others, and ran into the study to help him, but he waved his hand away and cursed, "Why are you helping, hurry up and pull out the corn seedlings! You idiots!"

……

At noon and dawn, Shangguan Rui said goodbye to his companions, and happily walked home, saying to Luo Xunfeng and Su Yu, "Brother Su Yu, Brother Feng, you don't know anything. We have a farmer and a doctor in our village Among the elders, the chief of the village needs the support of several elders. If the elders feel that a certain village chief is not good enough, they can force him to abdicate. Elder Si Nong is the most eloquent among the elders. Heaviness, Chai Kun must be scared now, probably thinking how he can keep the position of the village master, haha—”

Luo Xunfeng folded his arms and followed behind him side by side with Su Yu. Seeing him smiling happily, he couldn't help but exchanged glances with Su Yu, both of them looked helpless.

The three of them returned to Shangguan Rui's house, Shangguan Rui took them to drink tea in his own room, and as soon as they reached the door of the study, he saw his mother sitting in front of the desk in the room, writing and drawing, with a book in hand Stack of books taken from shelf.

"Mom, why are you in my room?" Ah Rui asked.

Ah Rui Niang, Luo Xunfeng and the others greeted each other, and explained to Ah Rui, "Isn't it because you have too many books in your room? Your father asked me to number the books for you so that you can find them later. Look. " A Rui Niang said, showing a book at hand to A Rui, and saw "Shangguan-Huaben-Wu Qi" written in small letters on the back cover of the book.

"Mom! When did you start making this up?" Ah Rui's voice suddenly became anxious.

"After you went down the mountain, I have already made more than half of it." A Rui Niang said.

"Why didn't you tell me!" Ah Rui rushed to the bookshelf, took out a book to read, and frowned tightly.

"I don't think it's a big deal, so I forgot to tell you." A Rui Niang said, "It's time for lunch, I'll prepare it, you guys come to the living room later." She greeted Luo Xunfeng and the others, smiling went out.

……

In the afternoon, the sun was shining brightly, and there were hardly any people on Zhaizhong Road.

Outside a house on the east side of Yunzhai, a young figure was wandering around the courtyard wall. He saw that there was no one around, jumped a few times against the wall, grabbed the wall, kicked his legs and stared, and finally Ride up the wall.

He looked into the courtyard, only to see a big black dog running towards the courtyard wall. The dog found him and barked at the courtyard wall.

The boy was startled, his foot slipped, and he fell towards the outside of the wall.

He screamed, but he didn't suffer the expected pain, but fell into a strong embrace. He could only feel a few ups and downs in front of him, and he was brought to a field of flowers. The house just now was far behind the two of them.

"Brother Su Yu!" Ah Rui couldn't help calling joyfully after being put down by his rescuer.

"Are you okay?" Su Yu asked, under the sun, his body was tall and straight, like a bamboo.

"I'm... fine." Ah Rui scratched his head and said.

"There is no number on that book." Su Yu said lightly.

"Ah? What book are you talking about?" Ah Rui asked back, frowning.

"I went to Elder Tian's house to read it. There is no number on the book you brought to Chai Kun's house." Su Yu said again.

"What... the book I brought to Chai Kun's house? Brother Su Yu, don't talk nonsense."

"En." Su Yu responded noncommittally, and said, "Go home." After speaking, he turned and left.

"Hey," Ah Rui grabbed Su Yu's clothes, Su Yu stopped, turned around, and saw Ah Rui asked him with his lips pursed, "You know everything?"

"From the moment you asked me and the young master to accompany you to Chai Kun's house, everything was a bit deliberate." Su Yu still had a flat tone, without any accusations or complaints, just as if he was simply explaining.

"Why did you do it deliberately?" Ah Rui tugged at the corner of his clothes.

"Chai Kun has a lot of subordinates. It is difficult to find someone to write a letter to, and it is difficult to be recognized. There is no need to cut and paste the words on the book. And in the morning, you all indicated that you are going to Chai Kun's study. In the study, you deliberately let We noticed the strange stone that looked like a goldfish. It should be expected that my master or I would find that the back of the strange stone is relatively smooth, which is caused by people's frequent touching, and there may be a mechanism. In the secret room, we found diseased corn seeds and In that book, everything went too smoothly."

"Maybe it's just a coincidence?"

Su Yu shook his head slightly, "In the morning, your friend who said that Chai Kun's house had a study room exchanged glances with a servant when we left Chai Kun's house. It was his relative, who discovered the secret of the seeds in the dark room because he was working for Chai Kun, but he didn't dare to report it himself, so he only told you the secret, so you took the opportunity to set up a trap to enter Chai's mansion and let the elder Sinon come to confirm the evidence .Furthermore, you heard your mother tell you to number the books at noon, and your expression changed, and your appearance by the wall of the Tianfu just now is the best proof of everything."

Ah Rui listened to Su Yu's analysis, his face became embarrassed, and he asked, "Did you tell Brother Feng all this?"

"not yet."

"Can you not tell him?" Ah Rui pouted.

"..." Su Yu hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

"Are you going to file a complaint with Chai Kun?" Ah Rui asked again.

"of course not."

"Then..." Ah Rui lowered his eyes, "Will you hate me?"

"..." Su Yu was startled slightly, "Why should I hate you?"

"Because..." Ah Rui looked up at him, seeing a pair of unwavering black eyes, the young man couldn't help frowning, "I lied to you and Brother Feng."

"In order to protect the people who want to protect, the enemy is strong and we are weak, so it is not necessary to resort to extraordinary means." Su Yu said seriously.

Ah Rui raised his brows, "Brother Su Yu, I knew you wouldn't blame me, you're so kind!"

Su Yu suddenly shook his head.

"Are you still blaming me?" Ah Rui immediately lowered his shoulders.

"You can only lie to me next time, not to the young master. If you plan to make plans in the future, check more carefully and have fewer loopholes, I won't blame you." Su Yu curled the corner of his mouth almost imperceptibly.

Ah Rui frowned, "Brother Su Yu, so you can joke, hehe..."

Su Yu raised his eyebrows slightly, looked away, said, "Go back", and turned around again after speaking.

This time, he didn't take two steps, but was hugged by A Rui from behind, Su Yu almost hit backhand, but heard the boy's voice muffled behind him——

"Brother Su Yu, I like you so much."
