Chapter Twenty-Nine: Re-entering the Gu Mansion
Gu's mansion was very quiet, there were lights shining in the small building in the backyard, Liu Han was engrossed, and quickly restrained the two dark piles, avoiding a team of patrolling family members, and soon came to Gu Shuo's study, the study was dark, and there was obviously no one.
Liu Han didn't stop, turned around and walked towards the backyard. The security in the backyard was tighter than in the front yard, but it couldn't stop Liu Han, he easily restrained a few hidden piles, asked Gu Shuo's residence, and knocked them out.
Gu Shuo slept very unsteadily, the concubine next to him had already fallen asleep, but he couldn't fall asleep over and over, and woke up the concubine several times, and then simply got up and poured a cup and drank it, the concubine was woken up again, after asking about the situation, he took out two benzoin, Gu Shuo went to bed, and fell asleep after a while.
I don't know how long it took, Gu Shuo had a nightmare, he was awakened, he was shocked into a cold sweat, he was about to get up, he suddenly saw a black shadow standing by the bed, he was startled, and quickly rubbed his eyes, there was indeed a man in black standing by the bed, he quickly sat up.
"You..." As soon as the words came out, Gu Shuo found that this figure was a little familiar, and hurriedly asked, "Are you...?"
Liu Han didn't speak, and he didn't see how he moved, he was already sitting at the table, Gu Shuo hurriedly got out of bed, and was about to take his clothes and put them on, Liu Han shook his head at him, and at the same time showed the jade card, Gu Shuo breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly stepped forward.
"My lord, I came late at night, I don't know why?" Gu Shuo asked in a low voice.
Liu Han didn't speak, staring at Gu Shuo with cold eyes, Gu Shuo asked puzzledly, "My lord, what's wrong?"
Liu Han suddenly flashed and quickly clicked on several acupoints, Gu Shuo was shocked, Liu Han turned around and grabbed the sleeping concubine again, then walked to the incense burner, picked up the incense burner, sniffed it vigorously, and then smiled and put the incense burner down.
"Did you order this?" Liu Han asked casually, Gu Shuo was very nervous, he didn't know what he meant, and muttered: "I can't sleep well at night, so I lit two benzoin, which were bought by Jishitang in the city." ”
"Jishitang still sells this kind of incense, which is strange. Liu Han smiled: "This incense is not benzoin, or not all, one benzoin, the other is not, well, there are soul loss grass ingredients in it, both of which are medicines, used separately, they are not poisonous, but this soul loss grass is mixed with the rhizome of the red luo fruit in benzoin, and it becomes a very powerful scattered power poison." ”
Gu Shuo's face turned pale, his body couldn't help but tremble, and he hurriedly argued: "Big, my lord, I don't know, I don't know, this, this is all bought by subordinates, lowly duty..."
Liu Han brushed him with a move, stretched out his hand to wake the woman up, the woman was also dazed, looked up and saw him, couldn't help it, Liu Han pointed at her dumb hole, and then said: "Quiet, quiet, I have deaf ears and eyes, and I can hear." ”
The woman looked at him fearfully, not knowing what he was going to do, Liu Han repeated again: "Quiet, do you understand?"
The woman nodded, Liu Han unlocked her acupoint, and then asked, "You bought this incense?"
The woman nodded and shook her head, Liu Han frowned slightly, the woman turned her head to look at Gu Shuo, Gu Shuo was restrained, unable to speak, probably heard, his expression stiffened, and it took a while to understand what Liu Han was asking, and there was panic in his eyes.
The woman didn't see his expression clearly, she looked at Liu Han a little panicked, and Liu Han asked again: "You bought this incense?"
The woman shook her head: "It was given by the second sister." ”
"Who is the second sister?"
"The second sister is the Jiang family, the second grandmother of the master. The woman said in a low voice, Liu Han nodded slightly, there are many concubines in this Gu Shuo, and this second sister is estimated to be his second concubine.
Liu Han stunned her again, turned around and slapped Gu Shuo away, Gu Shuo was still confused, but he already felt that the situation was wrong, he asked carefully: "My lord, what's wrong?"
Liu Han looked at him silently, Gu Shuo was even more nervous, a thin bead of sweat appeared on his forehead, there was a trace of panic in his expression, and he was half loud, Liu Han said: "Yesterday, I was going to go to Dongshan Island, but I was attacked by the internal guards on the way, according to the killer's confession, the order to assassinate me was from above, I tracked it down one by one, and finally chased it to the third master of Defu Louduan, what I want to know is, was it ordered by you?"
Gu Shuo was shocked and assassinated Shangguan, which was a serious betrayal for the internal guards, and the palace would definitely investigate it, and once it was verified, he would be severely punished.
"My lord!" Gu Shuo shouted: "I have never given this order, I, I will pass Duan San over immediately." ”
Saying that Gu Shuo was about to go out, Liu Han stared at him silently, and only when he walked to the door did he shout in a deep voice: "Dare to go out and take a step, there is no mercy!" Gu Shuo was stunned for a moment, and turned to look at Liu Han: "My lord, I am the head of Yangzhou internal security, if something like this happens, I must find out, even if it is for myself, I have to investigate, and please let me have two days, within two days, I will definitely give an explanation to my lord." ”
"Two days!" Liu Han laughed and motioned for him to sit down, Gu Shuo didn't dare, he stood on the opposite side tremblingly, Liu Han didn't insist, and asked with a little contemplation: "In Yangzhou, I have only seen you alone, have you told those people?"
Gu Shuo shook his head without hesitation: "No, the adults came to see me at night, I knew that they came in secret, and they didn't reveal it to anyone." ”
"Really?" Liu Han snorted, "Since you haven't told anyone, then, why would someone want to assassinate me, and the executor still has a portrait of me in his hand?"
Gu Shuo's forehead was dripping with large beads of sweat, he opened his mouth and stammered, his mind was confused, and it took a long time before he suddenly remembered: "My lord, when you came that night, you brought a mask, I don't even know your true face, how to paint a portrait of you? ”
When it came to something strange, his face turned pale, and he looked at Liu Han with some emperors, and Liu Han's expression was calm: "This is reasonable, are you suspicious of the palace?"
Gu Shuo hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and nodded: "Yes, no one in Yangzhou knows who you are, what is your true face, unless, someone in the capital wants to kill you." ”
Liu Han didn't mask tonight, he appeared with his true face, and Gu Shuo couldn't care about it at all in order to clear himself, and aimed his suspicions at the palace.
"In the palace?" Liu Han looked at Gu Shuo with a smile, Gu Shuo's expression was slightly flustered, but he quickly nodded firmly, sighed and said, "I have been in Yangzhou for more than ten years, and I have handled a lot of such things, three years ago,... , alas, forget it, don't talk about it, it's all arranged directly from the palace. ”
Liu Han looked at him, got up and asked, "Where does Duan San live?"
"It's in the back street, the back street of Defu Building, which I arranged. Gu Shuo hurriedly said.
"Okay!" Liu Han didn't say anything, reached out and flicked it, untied his concubine's acupoint, and turned around and went out.
The concubine woke up slowly, saw Gu Shuo, and hurriedly rushed over: "Master, master, scared the slave to death." ”
Gu Shuo didn't move, he looked at the incense burner in a daze, and the concubine looked up at him and asked carefully, "Master, who is this person?"
Gu Shuo didn't answer, pulled her off his body, and ordered, "Don't ask, go to sleep." ”
After speaking, he turned around and went to get his coat, and the woman hesitated to come over to serve, and asked while dressing him: "It's so late, and you still want to go out?"
Gu Shuo didn't say a word, the concubine dressed him and sent him to the door, Gu Shuo was about to command, and the concubine posted it again.
"Good life...."
The woman suddenly flashed, like a snake slipping out of his arms, Gu Shuo looked at her in surprise, and suddenly a huge pain came, and he looked down to see a dagger rubbing his chest, and the dagger had been deeply inserted into his body.
"You, you..."
The woman smiled coquettishly at him: "Master, our fate is over, and the slave family has to leave." ”
Gu Shuo was about to rush over with a low roar, the woman deftly took two steps back, Gu Shuo shook a few times, and fell to the ground.
The woman looked at his corpse, sighed lowly, then ignored it, turned around and quickly packed up a package and tied it to her body, looked at the incense burner, took out a piece of incense, put it in her arms, and after going out, she carefully closed the door, and then looked around.
The woman was obviously familiar with the environment, she followed the path out of the moon gate, there was no house in the backyard to patrol, she quietly went to the back door, took out the key to open the door, and closed the door again when she went out.
The alley outside was not easy to walk, the woman was obviously not cultivated, and it took several bumps on the road before she reached the street, she dodged two patrolling groups of city guards, walked through two avenues, and knocked lightly at a door.
The door opened, the woman dodged in, and the light was soon lit in the room.
"Is this over?"
"Alas, that guy is so powerful, he smelled the wrong fragrance at once, I had to make up a lie, take him away, and he went to the second sister and Duan San. ”
"What about Gu Shuo?"
"Already killed. ”
"Well, that's okay, there's an order from above, after you finish your mission, go to Datong Street immediately, and someone there will pick you up. ”
"This, I, how can I go, there are city guards patrolling the streets. The woman was clearly a little panicked.
"I'll send you. ”
The woman hummed and turned to leave, when suddenly a pair of hands grabbed her neck, and the woman struggled hard, and after a while she softened.
"Don't blame me, it's an order from above. ”
After a while, an old man opened the door and looked around, then came out with a sack, went out quietly, went to the back of the house, got into the boat, took out a plank from the canopy, put the sack in it, and then put the plank on it again, and touched it again before he got out of the canopy.
When he returned home, the old man lit the oil lamp again, wrote a few sentences with a pen, and then went to the backyard, took out a bird, tied a small bamboo tube with a note to the bird's legs, and threw the bird into the sky.
The bird vibrated its wings in the night sky, and called twice in dissatisfaction before flapping its wings and flying eastward.
Watching the bird fly away, the old man sighed softly, slowly turned around and entered the house, and after a while, blew out the lights.
When the lights in the house went out, a dark shadow stood up from the opposite roof, looked at the small courtyard, and then looked at the direction where the bird flew away, and then turned around and walked in the direction of Defu Building.
As he expected, when he found Duan San, Duan San was already a cold corpse, he had been killed, his body was cut in two, and his wife and children were in pain when they stayed by his side.
Soon the patrolling city guards heard the cry and rushed over, and the officer who led the team knew at a glance that it was a person from the rivers and lakes who did it, and immediately sent someone to inform the arrester.
Liu Han didn't show up, he had been standing opposite Duan San's house opposite, watching the city guard officers who led the team hurriedly arrange everything, and after a while, he turned around and left.
Gu Shuo and Duan San were both dead, the opponent's movements were very fast, quickly eliminated all traces, and set a trap for him by the way, however, he believed that the opponent did not believe that this trap could kill him, but just tried it, as for Gu Shuo and Duan San, they were useless. 2k reading web
