According to what the steward of the Guozhang’s mansion said, the man in black was masked in black, walked silently, and didn’t even show his eyes, but he could clearly touch the Guozhang’s mansion, find the butler, and confuse him to act. It can be seen that his martial arts are indeed extremely high. You no longer need your eyes to see the road.
After listening to Su Fengnuan, he said, "If you don't need to see people with your eyes, but you can listen to the sound and act accurately according to the sound of the surrounding environment, you need extremely high martial arts. Besides us, who else in Beijing has Such superb martial arts? Do you know?"
Xu Yunchu shook his head, "Except for me and Ye Shizi, I don't know anyone in Beijing who has such abilities." After finishing speaking, he said, "Before, I didn't realize that Yue Guifei's martial arts are superb, and my mother knows some martial arts. I know it, but I don't know that her martial arts are very high. I grew up in Beijing, and I have lived for so many years. Now I realize that what you see in Beijing may not be true, and what you hear may not be true. Maybe it is something People have always been with us, buried very well."
Su Fengnuan asked thoughtfully, "Does the housekeeper in your mansion have martial arts?"
Xu Yunchu said, "Know some kung fu."
Su Fengnuan said, "Maybe just based on the one-sided words of the housekeeper in your mansion, you can't conclude that the man must be extremely good at martial arts. After all, the housekeeper in your mansion only knows some fists and kicks. Even if you have met him three times, you can't get close. You can only peep at him." In appearance, what he saw was what the man wanted him to see, not the real appearance."
Xu Yunchu said, "It makes sense."
Su Fengnuan continued, "Besides, it's fine for him to cover his face in black clothes, but he even covered his eyes. He must be a very familiar person, otherwise, he wouldn't be afraid of showing his eyes and making people recognize him. "
Xu Yunchu nodded, "The housekeeper in my mansion was born and grew up in the mansion of the head of the state since he was a child, so he has the ability to judge people, otherwise he wouldn't be the housekeeper of the head of the state's house. If he had met that person , You may really be able to recognize people with your eyes alone."
Su Feng said warmly, "That's why the man was blindfolded."
Xu Yunchu sighed and said, "As the housekeeper of the Guozhang's mansion, I have had a lot of dealings with people from the noble circles in Beijing and China over the years. Based on these, I really can't find out who that person is." .”
Su Fengnuan narrowed his eyes and said, "In short, I can't get out of the noble circle."
Xu Yunchu was taken aback, and suddenly said, "Not bad."
Su Fengnuan said, "The people who are in contact with the steward of the Guozhang's mansion are all the people in the mansions of noble descendants. Not enough for him to buy it regardless of his status."
Xu Yunchu said, "In this way, do I want to check the residences of the courtiers who have made good friends with the Guozhang's residence?"
Su Fengnuan thought for a while and said, "Don't be in a hurry, such a blind investigation is not a solution. Wait a little longer, and Xu Lingyi will not be able to bear it anymore. Let's see what she has to say."
When Xu Yunchu heard her mention Xu Lingyi, he nodded darkly, "In that case, wait a little longer."
After the two agreed on this, Su Fengnuan mentioned to him that she and Ye Chang went to the dead side of West Street yesterday, and encountered Zhang Kuaizui.
Xu Yunchu said, "I know something about this."
"Huh?" Su Fengnuan looked at him.
Xu Yunchu said, "I went to that dead scene secretly when it was haunted, but I found nothing. I went there for two days. Later, my grandfather found out that I went out of the house to go there, so I was not allowed to check it again. .Although I was young at that time, I was probably afraid that something would happen to me.”
Su Fengnuan said, "I don't know if the head of the country has other opinions on this matter. After all, people who are not even afraid of imperial power are not necessarily afraid of ghosts."
Xu Yunchu said, "I'll ask Grandpa after I return home today." After a pause, he said, "But Grandpa hasn't paid much attention to the affairs of the market for many years, so I may not be able to mention anything. But if you listen to that quick talk Speaking of it, maybe it is related to the Minister of the Household Department, maybe there is something hidden."
Su Fengnuan nodded, "The head of the state may not like to pay attention to the affairs of the market, but he will definitely pay attention to the affairs of the Minister of the Household Department."
Xu Yunchu nodded.
While the two were talking, the steward came to report again, "Girl, Princess Shuya is here! She wants to see you."
Su Fengnuan glanced at the sky, it was still early in the morning, the sun had not yet risen, Princess Shuya came out of the palace so early to find her, I don't know why. She glanced at Xu Yunchu and said, "Princess Shuya, please come in."
The butler responded and went immediately.
Su Fengnuan said, "She said that day that she let go of you, so she probably didn't come for you? I don't know why."
Xu Yunchu thought for a while and said, "It should be for Xu Lingyi."
"Huh?" Su Fengnuan looked at him.
Xu Yunchu said, "I'll know when she comes, just see if I'm right?"
Su Fengnuan nodded.
Not long after, the butler led Princess Shuya to the living room.
Shuya didn't seem to expect that Xu Yunchu was there. When she walked into the door, she was taken aback when she saw him, and then she laughed, "Cousin, you finally don't hide from me now. I wanted to see you before, but I couldn't see you even though I tried my best." , I don’t have any ideas now, but I just happened to meet you by chance.”
Xu Yunchu smiled, and asked her, "Why did you come to Rong'an Palace so early?"
Shuya said, "I originally wanted to go to the mansion of the head of the state to see if your injury is better, but I thought about something, so I came to Rong An Wang's mansion first, I didn't expect you to happen to be here."
Su Fengnuan pointed to the seat with a smile, and said to her, "Sit down and talk."
Shuya sat down.
Su Fengnuan poured her a cup of tea, and asked with a smile, "What made you come out of the palace early in the morning to find me?"
Shuya glanced at Xu Yunchu, hesitated, and said to her, "I'm here to beg you, can you let Xu Lingyi go?"
Su Fengnuan thought that Xu Yunchu's guess was right, it turned out that she really came for Xu Lingyi, she looked at her and said, "Why?"
Shuya bit her lips and said, "We grew up together, and I was shocked when she did such a thing, but I know the pain of liking someone who can't ask for it, although she is crazy and can't blame Ye Shizi, it's her It's my own fault. But it's not wrong to like someone, it's just that she is crazy. I don't want to excuse her, but I can't bear her tragic death. I know it's useless for me to beg Ye Shizi , so I can only come to beg you."
Su Fengnuan was speechless for a while.
Shuya looked at her and said again, "I know that she has completely hurt my cousin this time, and my cousin will not care about her anymore, and the Guozhang's mansion also expelled her from the house and removed her name from the family tree. And you were almost killed by her, it is difficult for me to beg you, but, as a woman, I still want you to spare her life."
Su Fengnuan looked at Shuya, and finally said, "Have you ever thought about it, you come to beg me to spare her life, it's simple. But after you spare her life? How can she survive?"
Shuya was taken aback.
Su Fengnuan said, "You must not have thought about how she will live in the future, right? You only want to save her life, but what she did is no longer something that can be easily ended by saving one life. It involved Taizu's construction In the case of secret road traps in the government agencies, doing such things in the palace in front of hundreds of officials, civil and military officials, etc., is a death penalty. If Ye Chang hadn't escorted her to the water prison of Rong'an Palace, you Do you think the emperor can spare her? Is she still alive?"
Shuya was speechless for a moment.
Su Fengnuan looked at her and said, "You can come to Prince Rong An's mansion early in the morning to find me and let me save her life. You are also thinking about the love you have grown up with her, which is very precious. But this matter, You have to think about it, do you really want to beg me to agree to you?"
Shuya choked for a moment, lost her mind, and couldn't help but look at Xu Yunchu.
Xu Yunchu said to her with a gentle face, "It's her own fault for doing this. She is very arrogant in her bones, and she would rather die than live." After finishing speaking, he said, "This matter has a lot to do with it, and it's too deeply involved. , it’s not something you can intervene in, and you can’t save her, so let it be.”
Seeing what Xu Yunchu said, Shuya didn't speak for a long time.
Su Fengnuan thought that when Xu Lingyi got to this point, Princess Shuya was the first person to intercede for her. It can be seen that this princess is also a lover, and she is not bad, at least, her heart is not bad.
Shuya was silent for a long time, seemed to give up, and asked Su Fengnuan, "Then can I see her?"
Su Fengnuan shook his head and said decisively, "No."
"Why?" Shuya asked, "Isn't it all right? Let me take a look at her."
Su Fengnuan said, "No, she's involved in this matter too deeply, and I can't see anyone before I explain anything." After finishing speaking, he said to her, "If you really want to see her, then wait until she invites her to do what she does. See her again in order to make friends with the master behind it. At that time, I will let you meet her."
It's not that Shuya is really ignorant and unreasonable. After letting go of Xu Yunchu, she has a much broader heart. She nodded, "Okay."
Su Fengnuan's impression of her was better when she saw that she was not messing around.
The three chatted for a while, Xu Yunchu got up to leave, Shuya also stood up and said, "Cousin, are you going home? I'll go with you to see grandpa."
Xu Yunchu said, "I originally planned to go to the household department to look for Ye Shizi. Since you are going to the Guozhang's mansion, I will send you there first."
Shuya nodded.
After the two left, Su Fengnuan thought about it, ordered someone to prepare a car, and returned to Su's residence.
