As a good friend of Yongzhi, Wu Sheng was treated as a good friend and was entertained in a flower hall, where he drank and ate.
Yongzhi himself was invited to the backyard by the servant in green. He was still a little worried at first and reluctantly wanted to shirk, but he received encouragement and hints from Wu Sheng.
It's very simple. If you have such a good opportunity, come in openly. Just pay whatever you have to. Hold on a little longer and buy me time to look for clues.
So Yongzhi gritted his teeth and entered.
The house is not very big, and Wu Sheng's cultivation is here. He can probably hear everything going on in the backyard clearly. When the backyard starts to enter the alley, Wu Sheng chases away the servants and searches in the flower hall.
stand up.
After searching for a while, he didn't see anything suspicious. He walked out of the flower hall again, looked at the left and right rooms, made an excuse, such as wanting to drink tea, and sent the servant away, so he went into the two rooms to check.
Unfortunately, the two wing rooms were also in the wrong direction. One was a servant room and the other was a utility room. When he exited in disappointment, a servant in green clothes was waiting for him at the door holding a tea set.
Wu Sheng said shamelessly: "I'm worried, I don't know..."
The servant went to bring the toilet again. After Wu Sheng finished putting it, he asked: "I have been to Bailongchi before. It was still an abandoned garden. Now the changes are really impressive. So many houses have been built."
The servant said: "Your distinguished guest does not know that because Nanyong, Kui, Lu and Yu kingdoms of Hu and Yi moved to the capital of Ying, the king gave it to Bailongchi to build a house. My family also came here at that time."
Wu Sheng asked: "The house you built here after you came here?"
The servant said: "All the houses here are old. My house is at the west end of Bailong Pond. Because there is some noise there, my wife bought this small courtyard here and lives here in a secluded place to hide in peace and quiet."
Wu Sheng nodded and said: "I see, you just bought it? I have a distant cousin of my good friend's third uncle's niece, named Xiulan. Have you ever heard of it?"
The servant smiled and said: "She is next door and is my neighbor."
Just as he was talking, Yong Zhi also limped out of the backyard and asked feebly: "Next door? Who is next door?"
The servant replied: "This distinguished guest is asking the next door neighbor Xiulan."
Yongzhi was stunned: "Next door? Didn't he say there is a locust tree in front of her house?"
The servant explained: "Originally, there was one. My wife liked her tree, so she bought it and transplanted it in front of her house last month."
Wu Sheng looked at the dumbfounded Yong Zhi speechlessly. He walked to the wrong door for a long time and was a little embarrassed: "Hao Duan Duan is in the neighborhood, only a few steps away. I even bought a transplant here... spend this money..."
The servant smiled and said: "My wife is the sister of the late Yu Lord and the wife of Kui Sima. She is not short of money."
Yong Zhi wanted to say something, but he was finally pulled away by Wu Sheng, and a servant in green clothes sent him out: "My wife has asked me, if you are free next time, please come here often."
After leaving Yu Xi's house, Yong Zhi couldn't help but said: "Doctor, what's going on? I worked hard in the back house, but it was all in vain. I walked into the wrong door? This..."
Wu Sheng stopped him: "Okay, stop complaining. You still behave well when you get an advantage. It's me who has done the hard work, okay?"
Yongzhi was still protesting: "Why did you do so hard, doctor?"
Wu Sheng said: "My ears are hard to hear. You kid, you can do it. You won't stop listening..."
Yongzhi defended: "It's not me who doesn't stop, it's her... The doctor will know after he tries it, it's really painful!"
Wu Sheng waved his hand: "Okay, don't explain - it's pretentious! Find a place to rest for a while and go to Xiulan's house in the evening."
When it got dark, Wu Sheng waved his hand, and two black shadows followed the corner of the wall to another house next to Yuxi's house. They turned over and went in.
The layout of this house is almost exactly the same as that of Yuxi's, which makes work much easier.
The two house slaves in the front yard were immediately knocked unconscious. Wu Sheng and Yong Zhi walked around in several rooms for a while. After confirming that there was nothing of value, they went to the backyard. The mistress was sleeping in the main room in the backyard.
, it should be Xiulan.
Xiulan's appearance is a bit ordinary and she is not considered a beauty. She is in charge of this house, probably because she is loyal to Fei Bai.
After knocking Xiulan unconscious, they held the lantern in their hands and started searching in the house.
Obviously, the news of Fei Bai's death still has not reached here, there is no sign of memorial in the house, everything is as usual.
After walking around a few times and rummaging through boxes and cabinets, there was nothing suspicious. There were quite a few silk handkerchiefs and bellybands, but there were no embroidery on them. Wu Sheng tried them on one by one for Xiulan on the bed, and they were indeed Xiulan's items.
I'm a bit scratching my head now.
Yong stared at Wu Sheng trying Xiulan on to no avail, then turned his gaze to the bed: "Something's wrong!"
"What's wrong?"
"It's the same room, but this bed is narrower than Yu Xi's bed. Well, this room seems a bit cramped."
After saying that, he turned over and got on the bed. He turned around next to the unconscious Xiulan and tried to sleep. After trying several times, he reached out and touched the wall. Suddenly, there was a creak and a door appeared on the wall. The light inside was dim.
It's actually a dark room.
Wu Sheng was overjoyed. He and Yongzhi went into the darkroom, lit the lights, and found a lot of elixirs, golden treasures, magic weapons, and spiritual herbs on the shelves. While inspecting, Yongzhi bit off his fingers and wiped blood on them.
For one piece, the money will be confiscated.
Wu Sheng ignored him and sat down at the table against the wall, carefully looking through the wooden slips and silk handkerchiefs piled on the table.
Of course he looked at the silk handkerchiefs first, picked out a familiar one and opened it, with the word "ge" embroidered on the corner!
Wu Sheng's breathing became rapid, and he quickly looked at the words, only to see that it read: "It has been dug through, but the door is difficult to open, as shown in the picture."
He quickly looked for the picture scroll and picked out a piece of cowhide. A gate was outlined with simple lines on it. There was also a person pushing the door. The gate was about seven or eight times as high as the person pushing the door. It was huge, like a city gate.
Wu Sheng pulled out another silk handkerchief, it was still from Ge Qilang, and it was written: "It's hard to work hard for three years and not get the results! I dreamed about Lao Yan tonight, and I don't know what it means."
So he continued to pull out the same silk handkerchief.
"Yan Luoshan! It's Yan Luoshan! I will search here and wait for good news!"
"We are now at Mangdang Mountain. There is a spiritual spring hidden in the main peak. There are strange flowers and plants. I will search here and look forward to good news!"
"Mang Dang is not worthy of the position of Three Lis and Fours. I will leave. A year of hard work will be in vain."
"My brother has arrived at the West Peak of Huyi, and there will be good news..."
After reading Ge Qilang's silk handkerchief, Wu Sheng went to look through the pile of bamboo slips again.
"There is Julong Mountain in the north of Daze. There is a tunnel in the villa. At the end of the tunnel is a cave. There are corpses, suspected to be the owner of the village..."
"Julong Mountain is not worthy of the position of Three Lis and Fours. I will go to Tianmen Mountain in the west of Daze..."
"My brother has arrived in the south of Daze. I suspect that the location is not a mountain. I will try the valley. Is it okay? In addition, I have exhausted all my supplies. I will quickly send out the following magic talismans and magic tools..."
The scribe of these bamboo slips is "Huang".
There were also many bamboo slips from Chen Zhen, telling Fei Bai how much goods he had received, how many goods he had sold, and how many elixirs and magic weapons he had given to Ge Qilang.
Wu Sheng finished reading them all, closed his eyes and thought for a long time. When he opened his eyes, Yong Zhi was already flipping through the pages. While reading, he murmured: "They are really in the same group!"
