Chapter 141: Demon (2)
Yuxi returned to the study and looked at the "Art of War and Thirty-six Strategies" that he had transcribed, with a relaxed smile on his face. After two months, she finally finished copying the book.
Zi Su was not used to Yuxi's appearance: "Girl, you don't lead troops to fight, what are you doing watching this?" Zi Su almost said that watching this was just a waste of time. Duan Xinrong and Zhou Shiya waited for Yuxi's purse for more than half a year, and even Zisu, the personal maid, was embarrassed Yuxi didn't explain, just smiled: "It's very interesting." There are conspiracies, there are conspiracy, and all kinds of schemes emerge one after another, which opened her eyes.
Shiso doesn't want to persuade anymore, and it's useless to persuade him.
Yuxi smiled and said, "If the second brother comes back, you can sue me." I returned the war book to her. "Yuxi is only interested in this art of war, to be precise, in the thirty-six strategies inside. As for the other six Tao three strategies, there is no interest. As Zisu said, she doesn't have to lead troops to fight, and it is useless to study military books.
As soon as he put the military book he copied in the cabinet, he heard Kufu come in and say, "Girl, Sister Liu Yin came to pass the word and asked the girl to go to the courtyard." ”
Yuxi was a little strange, it was almost lunch, what did the old lady tell her to do. But Yuxi didn't think much about it, sorted out her makeup and went.
Liu Yin is a member of the Qiu family, but because the old lady does not have a capable maid by her side now, she is temporarily used by the old lady. Liu Yin has dealt with Yuxi for several years, and is grateful to Yuxi for saving his life that night, so he lowered his voice and said to Yuxi: "Girl, the third girl went to see the old lady just now. After that, the old lady's face was ugly, and she asked the slave to come and call the girl over. Although Liu Yin knew that Yuxi had a good relationship with Yuchen, she still reminded Yuxi so that Yuxi would not suffer. The old lady doesn't like Yuxi, this is something that the entire Guogong Mansion knows.
Yuxi's heart trembled, first someone from the Pingqing Marquis Mansion, and then Yuchen went to the upper courtyard, and then the old lady asked her to come over with an ugly face. This series of events made Yuxi quickly think of a possibility. It is likely that the Pingqing Marquis Mansion has already found out that the mastermind behind that night was the lord of Heshou County.
Yuxi restrained all her feelings and said with a smile: "Thank you sister for the reminder, I will pay attention when I arrive, and try not to make my grandmother angry." ”
Liu Yin smiled.
When he arrived in the upper courtyard, seeing that the old lady had become a black-faced god, and Yuchen, who was sitting at the bottom, also had a solemn face, Yuxi knew that the previous guess should be eight or nine: "What's wrong?"
Yuchen opened his mouth and said: "Fourth sister, the reason why the thieves broke into our mansion that night was because of the instigation of the county lord of Heshou. The county lord of Heshou bribed those bandits and let them sneak into the Guogong Mansion from Qingzhu Xiaozhu on the night of the palace change. ”
Yuxi was stunned, and after half a sound, he asked, "Do our Han family and the Qiao family have any hatred that they don't share?" At this time, we must be stable, and we can't let the old lady and Yuchen see that something is wrong.
Old Madam Han said in a deep voice: "No. ”
Yuxi shook his head and said, "Impossible, if we don't have a grudge with the Qiao family, why would the county lord of Heshou do this? What good will it do to her? No, our Han family must have a grudge against the Qiao family, otherwise the county lord of Heshou wouldn't have seen me and the third sister show such a great deal of hostility that day? Grandmother, is there something that even you don't know?"
Old Madam Han said with certainty: "The Han Qiao family has no grudges. The Qiao family has only been in business for more than 30 years, and the Qiao family was a person who shaved food in a pit in the countryside. If the two families have a mortal feud, I can't be unaware. "Mrs. Han married into the Guogong Mansion more than 30 years ago and is very familiar with the things in the mansion. If the two families really had a grudge, she couldn't have known it.
Yuxi opened his mouth and said, "Why is that?" After speaking, he asked the same question as Yuchen: "How did the county lord of Heshou know that the prince would rebel that night?
Yuchen's hands were clenched all the time, and he never let go: "Yuxi, I don't know how the county lord of Heshou knew that the prince would rebel that night." But I know that she let these bandits infiltrate the Guogong Mansion to kill you and me. ”
Yuxi stood still, and after half a while, Yuxi opened his mouth and asked, "Why did you kill us?"
Yuchen shook his head and said, "I don't know." ”
Yuxi's voice suddenly became louder: "There is no grudge, you want to kill me and you for some reason, is the county lord of Heshou crazy? No, crazy people are not like her." ”
Yuchen said: "Fourth sister, I think the county lord of Heshou is possessed by demons. "Otherwise, how could the county lord of Heshou do such an unreasonable thing.
Yuxi was taken aback: "Possessed by demons?"
Yuchen nodded and said, "Yes." ”
Yuxi's legs were weak, and he didn't sit on the ground by holding the chair next to him with both hands. Taking a few deep breaths, Yuxi sat down on the chair, and then said slowly: "Even if the county lord of Heshou is possessed by demons, then why did she put me and the third sister to death? We haven't offended her." ”
This is also the strangest thing about Yuchen.
Old Madam Han had been observing Yuxi just now, but Yuxi's appearance was relatively normal, and Old Madam Han didn't see anything wrong. After listening to Yuxi's words, Old Madam Han asked, "Yuxi, what do you think?"
Yuxi shook his head: "No." "Yes, you can't say so quickly. She didn't want to show that she was very powerful in front of the old lady.
Yuchen couldn't think of a reason, and said, "Grandmother, my uncle has already investigated this matter very clearly. No matter what the reason for the county lord of Heshou is, we can't help but avenge this revenge. "You can't act as if it didn't happen.
Old Madam Han looked at Yuxi and asked, "Yuxi, what do you think should be done?"
Yuxi still has three words: "I don't know." But this matter must be told to my father and eldest brother. For such a big thing, they have to make up their minds. "Marquis Jiang is powerful, and the Jiang family has deep roots in the capital, so he will find the truth before them. It's just that the Jiang family can help find the murderer, but the revenge is to avenge themselves.
In this way, I can't say why. The old lady said, "You go back first." "This has to be a long-term thing.
The two parted in the middle of the road with heavy hearts. Yuchen went to the study when he returned to Tingyun Pavilion, and then summoned Gui Mama and told Gui Mama about the matter: "Mama, you said that even if the county lord of Heshou was possessed by demons, why did she kill me and the fourth sister?"
The authorities are confused, and the bystanders are clear. And like Mama Gui's age, she said that she ate more salt than Yuchen ate. After listening to Yuchen's words, he said: "There is no grudge, you and her have no enmity, there is only one reason why she can make such a ruthless move." ”
Yuchen hurriedly asked, "What is the reason?" She racked her brains and couldn't think of any reason.
Gui Mama said: "The county lord of Heshou knows that you and the fourth girl will threaten her in the future, and it is a deadly kind, otherwise, she would not be so big-handed?"
Yuchen was stunned: "What do you mean by this, what do you mean that in the future, Yuxi and I will have a mortal threat to the county lord of Heshou." Who can predict what will happen in the future. After speaking, Yuchen thought of a possibility, and his face turned white in an instant.
When Mama Gui looked at Yuchen like this, she knew that she understood what she meant: "This demon may have the ability to predict the future. ”
Yuchen grabbed the handle of the chair with his right hand and said, "This demon ......"
Thinking of this, Yuchen immediately called Shiqin and said, "Prepare the car, I'm going to Pingqing Hou's Mansion." After saying that, Yuchen immediately went to the upper courtyard and told the old lady about the matter.
The old lady really didn't think about it. But when Yuchen said this, apart from this reason, he really couldn't find any other reason: "This matter must be considered in the long run, and it cannot be rash." Don't go to the Pingqing Marquis Mansion for the time being, I'll discuss it with your father and eldest brother first. "After all, the county lord of Heshou is a relative of the emperor, and he has a knighthood, so he must be cautious.
Yuchen walked out of the upper courtyard, thought for a while and went to Tao Ranju. Hearing the maid say that Yuxi would enter the study as soon as he came back, Yuchen's expression was very subtle.
Kufu raised her voice and shouted, "Girl, the third girl is here." ”
Yuxi replaced the military book in his hand with a medical book, opened it and put it aside overnight, and then walked out of the study to welcome Yuchen into the room, and said, "Third sister, what are your eyebrows?"
Yuchen shouldn't reply: "What are you doing?" asked in his mouth, his eyes fell on the books on the desk, he didn't expect Yuxi to have the leisure to read medical books.
Yuxi said: "I was thinking, if only I could develop an invisible poison that kills people." It's a pity that I don't ...... good at learning."
Yuchen didn't know how to describe the mood of this meeting: "Even if you develop an invisible poison that kills people, how can you poison it? Can you get close to her?"
When Yuxi heard this, he suddenly softened: "Cough, I'm really confused, so I'm thinking about how to kill Heshou." Ahem, third sister, what do you say? She didn't kill us this time, and she definitely won't be reconciled. Not to mention going out, I don't feel at ease at home. "As long as Yuchen is determined and the Pingqing Marquis Mansion gives some help, this matter will be much easier. It's harder to kill Kazutobu, but it's sure to knock her arrogance down.
A touch of anger flashed in Yuchen's eyes: "Don't worry, there will be no next time." ”
It was the first time for Yuxi to look at Yuchen like this.
Yuchen was furious when Yuxi looked at him: "What's wrong?
Yuxi cracked his mouth and smiled: "It's nothing, I just think the third sister is particularly beautiful today." I couldn't help it for a while, and I was a little stunned. ”
Yuchen was funny and angry: "When have you not been serious." I've come to you this time because I have something to tell you. Then she told Yuxi of her guess.
Yuxi felt that Mama Gui was too powerful, and she even guessed this. Didn't the county lord of Heshou just know what was going on in the future, so he wanted to kill her and Yuxi. I agreed in my heart, but there was a look of disbelief on my face: "Third sister, this can't predict the future, isn't that an immortal?"
Yuchen snorted coldly: "It's not an immortal, it's a demon." ”
ps: The fourth shift is delivered, and there is another shift in the evening, around half past ten.
