Chapter 525 I heard that someone wants to corrupt me
Meng Lan listened blankly for a while, then slapped her thigh: "Yes, this is a good idea. Why didn't I think of it? Miss Bai is really smart."
"It's nothing." Bai Yue waved his hand modestly: "Clan Chief Meng, go quickly. Find the murderer as soon as possible. It can be considered that we have done our best to Patriarch Si."
Look at Jian Yu and Bai Yue's broad-mindedness, and then look at Si Suliu's narrow-mindedness.
Meng Lan couldn't help but feel sad about this comparison. No wonder the Twelve Clans were not as good as the Great Zhou. Sure enough, Renren was aware of it. Jian Yu was only a third-rank official in the Great Zhou, while Si Suliu was one of the clan leaders of the Twelve Clans.
, it’s actually incomparable.
Meng Lan sighed and sadly blamed Si Suliu.
Bai Yue pulled Jian Yu aside and whispered, "It's still him."
Jian Yu nodded.
Before, they guessed it was a pangolin, but now looking at this long hole, it must be a pangolin. Who else could have this skill except a pangolin.
It’s just that I still don’t know whether this person is an enemy or a friend.
Using Bai Yue's method, they soon found another cave entrance in a remote yard.
However, almost two hours have passed since the assassin escaped. We only found this place now, and the day lilies are already cold.
The entrance to the cave was found, but no one was found. Jian Yu and the others did not want to see Si Suliu behind, so they left and went back.
It was already late at night, and it was completely dark outside. The large group of people was divided into two groups.
A lot of people were in front, holding Captain Xing's hand, talking, laughing, and laughing.
Bai Yue and Jian Yu were walking behind, about a hundred meters away from them, holding hands and swaying as they walked.
Bai Yue said: "How long do we have to stay here? When the ceremony for the succession of the witch is over, we can leave."
The witch succession ceremony has nothing to do with whether the Lin family's case has been discovered or not. Meng Lan felt that when the time came, the case would be discovered and found out, and even if it was not found out, it would be found out.
Jian Yu smiled: "Are you homesick?"
Not to mention it was true, but Bai Yue was unwilling to admit it, so she found a reason.
"I collected some very good spices on the road before, but they were very expensive. Do you remember?"
"Remember." How could Jian Yu not remember? He didn't pay for it.
Bai Yue said: "When I was in the capital before, your mother gave me a Luozidai, which is the thing used to draw eyebrows..."
"I know." Jian Yu grabbed Bai Yue's hand that was drawing random strokes in the air: "The red candles were lit in the wedding room last night, and I waited in front of the hall to pay homage to my aunt. After putting on makeup, I asked my husband in a low voice, and the eyebrows were darkened."
Okay, quite cultured.
Bai Yue ignored Jian Yu, a sour scholar who was too educated, and continued: "It is said to be very rare and expensive. It was rewarded by the empress in the palace."
"I know this." Jian Yu said: "This is a tribute from the Western Regions. There are not many in total. There should only be two or three at my mother's place, but I gave you one."
As he spoke, Jian Yu looked at Bai Yue's face: "But I don't see you using it much, so you can't bear to part with it?"
"I'm too lazy to put on makeup. I'm naturally beautiful." Bai Yue said proudly, "I'm not telling you this, but I'm telling you that I can make Luozi Dai, and it's even better than what the Empress rewarded me with."
Jian Yu was surprised: "Can you do that?"
"Is it any wonder that there's nothing I can't do besides being too lazy to do it?"
Bai Yue has loved reading books since he was a child. He has a photographic memory of reading encyclopedias and is extremely rich in various theoretical knowledge.
In the past, she had to spend a lot of money because of the trouble, but now it is different. There is a group of people at her disposal, and she has endless two hundred and fifty. She can try whatever she wanted to try before. After she returns, she plans to give all the rouge and gouache to Mrs. Jian.
Make arrangements with the concubines who are very kind to her.
You can use it yourself or give it to others, so why not.
"You are so awesome." Jian Yu squeezed Bai Yue's shoulders and hugged him: "You are the best."
Seeing Bai Yue's slightly proud expression, Jian Yu felt that everything was so good everywhere. There were so many proud young ladies in the capital, and no one could compare with him.
The pride of those wealthy ladies stems from their family background. Look at how powerful my father, my family, and my mother are. But Bai Yue's pride stems from himself, which is completely different.
Lin Yi and the others returned to the inn, as if these two people were not there.
After a while, Jian Yu and Bai Yue also came back.
Bai Yue opened the door and then closed it with a bang.
Jian Yu was confused: "What's wrong?"
Bai Yue opened the door again, and Jian Yu saw that there was a person sitting in the room, a man in black clothes and wearing a mask. When he turned around, it was the person they saw in the ghost market that day.
When the man saw them, he grinned and raised his right hand.
On his right hand, he wore a strange-shaped glove, and the five fingers were made of very sharp metal.
Bai Yue blurted out: "Pangolin."
Although there are people from the Twelve Clans patrolling the inn, for the sake of convenience, they did not let them come up on this level. If this person sneaks in when they are all out, Liang Meng and the others will come back first, but they will not enter without permission.
In Bai Yue's room, he was not found to be normal.
But whether the pangolin is an enemy or a friend is anyone’s guess.
Jian Yu immediately pulled Bai Yue behind him and said in a deep voice, "Why are you here?"
After assassinating Si Suliu, he actually came to the inn and was still in Bai Yue's room, obviously waiting for them one step ahead.
The pangolin actually smiled: "Don't be afraid, I'm here to help."
Help? The two of them were stunned when they suddenly heard a familiar voice.
"I invited you here."
Bai Chuan walked over from the side.
All their attention just now was focused on the pangolin, but they didn't even see Bai Chuan come back.
Suddenly, both of them felt relieved.
"Uncle, you are back." Bai Yue jumped in happily, and Jian Yu also walked in and closed the door.
"I really didn't expect this to be your niece." Pangolin said, "If I had known, I would have sold you a mask for one hundred taels of silver that day."
Bai Yue was very speechless.
"Senior, do you know?" Bai Yue said: "That day in the ghost market, someone sold me a small coffin for thirty thousand taels."
The pangolin was stunned for a moment: "You mean Lao Liu?"
Sure enough, these people knew each other.
Bai Yue nodded: "Later, he cried so loudly that he could be heard all over the mountains and plains. Did you hear it?"
Half of the pangolin's face froze, he really heard it and was gloating about it.
Bai Yue raised two fingers: "Later, I got two small coffins, but I didn't pay a penny."
The other half of the pangolin's face also froze. Bai Chuan, the eldest niece, is better than her predecessor.
