On the floor between the stoves, Yang Yue was silently carving a radish with a radish.
"Da Yang?"
This summer, I probed in and saw him, so I walked over and sat with him without speaking.
"I'm fine, don't worry." After a while, Yang Yue glanced at her and finally said.
"...You are willing to forgive Arui, I thought this matter had passed in your heart." This summer whispered.
Yang Yue didn't say a word, and the carving knife carefully carved the radish. After a long time, he said softly: "Just now, I realized that I can't remember her appearance."
After thinking about it this summer, he pretended to be serious and said, "I still remember that if you don't think I'm not good at painting, I'll paint a portrait of her for you."
Knowing that she was joking on purpose, Yang Yue smiled and continued: "I just think that one day I can bring the person behind A Rui to justice, even if it's not worth the acquaintance... You know, always It was all my wishful thinking for her, she never had any affection for me."
"You help her like that, and she knows in her heart that you are a good person." Jin Xia turned her head to look at him.
"A good person..." Yang Yue laughed at himself, "Sometimes I feel like I'm so useless, I can't do anything, I can't save her, I can't avenge her, I can even share the person who killed her with my own hands. Eat and live together.”
This summer looked at her sternly: "Dayang, this is not a fool. You can forgive A Rui because you know that he is just a poor chess player and someone else plays chess. This is called understanding, this kind of determination. Not everyone can do it, and if the boss knows, he will definitely be happy.”
"I'm not that good..." Yang Yue shook his head, "perhaps, in the end, it's because I don't care enough for her."
"It's not that you don't have enough intentions, it's that you don't have enough fate." This summer, he was a little stunned. "However, such things as fate can't be forced. You are too old. When will your daughter-in-law appear? Or have you seen it before? She, but you don't know..."
Yang Yue couldn't do anything about her: "It's nonsense again."
There was a sound from the corner outside the kitchen. This summer it was only Cen Shou or Uncle Beggar, who raised his eyebrows and said loudly, "Who is sneaking around the corner?"
It was Chun Yumin who came in, with a stack of bowls in his hand, apologetic expression on his face, and softly whispered: "I'm sorry, I just brought the bowls and chopsticks back, I heard you talking, I was afraid of disturbing, so I waited outside for a while. …”
"It's okay, it's okay... I'm just a joke, don't take it to heart."
This summer, Yi Gulu stood up from the ground, went to pick up the bowl in her hand, and was busy fetching water by the well to wash the dishes.
Yang Yue also got up from the ground, put down the radish, smiled apologetically towards Chun Yumin, and asked casually, "Have the two seniors also eaten?"
Chun Yumin shook his head and said, "I heard that there was something wrong with the wound of Shangguan Hall Master, and Mrs. Shen rushed over before she finished eating."
"What's wrong with Sister Shangguan?"
This summer, with sharp ears, he could listen to them while fetching water, and asked loudly from the well.
'It seems to be because of what Xie Daxia said to her, whether it is related to that A Jin or A Rui, I don't know. "Chun Yumin really couldn't understand the chaos between them, the officialdom, and the gang.
Hearing this, Yang Yue stretched out his hand to support his forehead and sighed.
"I knew... Brother Xie's tongue is really long enough!" This summer, holding his wet hands, he sighed, "If Sister Shangguan treats Ah Rui as a spy in the gang, Ah Rui probably wants to die. Xie My brother is also true, he can't keep a word, can't he wait for two days?"
Staying in place for a while, thinking about it this summer, I still can't put my mind down: "Dayang, you have to stare at A Rui, so you can't keep him from doing anything stupid. I'll go see Sister Shangguan."
She and Yang Yue hurried over there.
Chunyumin knew that she couldn't help herself in this matter, so she walked silently to the well and squatted down to wash the dishes.
As soon as he walked outside Shangguanxi's door, he saw Xie Xiao closing the door from the outside and gesturing to her, telling her not to go in again. This summer, he turned to see A Rui, and when he saw Uncle Beg and Cen Shou coming out of A Rui's room, they also signaled to her, asking her not to go in again.
"What's going on?" Jin Xia couldn't help but ask.
Before the words could be said, Xie Xiao grabbed her and Yang Yue with one hand, and turned around the corner of the house, only to let go when they reached the courtyard.
Xie Xiao opened her mouth to ask this summer, but Xie Xiao had already said, "My sister said that she had no eyes, she raised a wolf beside her, and hurt people. Now she just thinks that A Rui is dead and doesn't want to see that person again."
"... What about Arui?" asked this summer nervously.
Cen Shou interjected: "The boy pretended to be okay at first, but I was careful, only to find out that he took a dagger after returning to the room and was ready to apologize to death."
"and then?"
"I gave him acupuncture points. I taught him a good lesson. He is lying on the bed and reflecting." Uncle Beg said proudly.
This summer, I immediately admired Uncle Beggar: "Uncle, let me ask one more question, how did you teach him?"
"I said that your aunt managed to cure him quickly. If he died, wouldn't it be a waste of time before. It's like a roasted pig's trotter. It's cooked so brightly and it smells good. Take the whole plate and dump it, don't you think it's too disappointing!"
"You said it so well, he must be hungry after that." Appreciated this summer.
"I don't know if I'm hungry or not. Anyway, he can't move right now." Uncle Beg shrugged, "The acupoints will be automatically relieved in an hour. If you make trouble again, you can make up your own mind."
This summer, he turned to Xie Xiao and said angrily: "Brother, don't sleep tonight, stare at A Rui, and don't let him seek death again."
"Why? I have to go fishing tomorrow morning."
"Pack up the goods you broke yourself."
"What's wrong with me?" Xie Xiao said confidently, "He is clearly a meticulous person, and I didn't wrong him."
"...Okay!" Yang Yue stopped them and said indifferently, "Don't be arguing, leave it to me at Arui. The Japanese pirates are important, what are you going to do?"
It was rare to see Yang Yue get angry, and everyone was a little stunned. He didn't say any more, turned around and left.
"Can he do it?" Xie Xiao doubted whether Yang Yue could control A Rui.
This Xia glared at him angrily, and suddenly remembered something: "By the way, I asked my aunt to dispense some useful medicine for you. Come and get it with me quickly."
"What medicine, what medicine do I take when I'm not sick?" Xie Xiao shouted.
"It's not for you, it's for you to deal with the Japanese pirates."
From tomorrow, Xie Xiao will go fishing with the disguised Japanese pirates on the same boat. To be honest, she was a little worried this summer, so she went to Mrs. Shen as soon as she came back and asked her if she could prepare some coma powder that could make people feel sick. Lose the ability to resist in just a moment. Mrs. Shen asked her to pick it up after dark, and most of them have already been prepared by now.
"If you find that he starts to doubt you or think about your opponent, just knock him out and catch him back." Jiaxing Xiao this summer.
Xie Xiao frowned: "Didn't the big fish just run away?"
"There is a way to get it back, don't forget, we still have the kind and terrifying Lord Jin Yiwei here." Cen Shou Nuzui said this summer, "The person who came out of Beizhen Fusi must be tortured or something. Okay. Of course, this is the best policy. It's best to let him reveal it inadvertently. Brother, you have a long way to go, rest early... By the way, remember to bring a piece of silver carp and tofu roasted fish when you come back tomorrow. Head, just to replenish your brain."
"You girl..."
Xie Xiao poked her on the forehead, and then went back to the room to rest.
"It's finally gone." Jin Xia breathed softly, seeing that Cen Shou hadn't left, "Brother, is something wrong?"
"When he goes out to fish, I want to visit his house, will you come?" Cen Shou said, today he quietly followed the little boss and already knew where the little boss lived.
He actually asked himself to go with him. This summer, he was a little surprised: "Brother, your martial arts are so strong and wise, how can you still use me?"
Cen Shou folded his arms and said, "In a word, do you want to go?"
"Of course!"
**************************************************** ****************************
At three o'clock in the ugly time, Xie Xiao went out, followed by this summer and Cen Shou, wearing night clothes and covering their heads and faces, also went out.
"In case someone wakes up and finds out, let's pretend to be male and female thieves! Just for money, not to hurt people's lives."
This summer, Cen Shou was admonished like this, and then he was met with a scorn.
The place where the little boss lived was in the alley he turned into, and it seemed that it should be a rented house. This summer, I smelled a strong fishy smell from the top of the wall. Looking down, there were rows of salted fish hanging under the dark eaves in the courtyard.
"It seems that selling fish is not a good business. There are so many salted fish that I can't finish the New Year." This summer he shook his head.
Cen Shou had already jumped down first, his movements were as light as a cat, he quietly moved to the window, took out a silver tube as thin as a bamboo from his arms, and gently stuffed it through the crack of the window...
"You can't use Mixiang, there are still children in it." This summer hurriedly said.
"This is soothing, not hurting anyone."
Cen Shou blew lightly, and a faint blue smoke escaped from the other end of the silver tube and slowly dissipated into the room.
After waiting for a stick of incense, I walked around the courtyard this summer and looked around. Cen Shou was waiting quietly under the window. He estimated that the soothing incense had already played a role. He inserted a dagger into the window frame and opened the window. , just opened the window and jumped into the house. Follow up this summer.
This house is not big, there are only two rooms in total, the inner room and the outer room.
There are simple tables and chairs in the outhouse, and by the moonlight, you can see the bamboo horses used by children on the ground, and there are also a few woodcut toys scattered on the ground, nothing special. Cen Shou was still meticulous in his work, and immediately jumped to the beam to check.
This summer, after recovering from his leg injury, he couldn't jump on the beam, so he opened the curtain, and the mother and son were sleeping soundly on the bed in the back room. It seemed that the effect of soothing fragrance was very good. There are few objects in the back room, and it is very simple. It seems that they can't take many things with them when they flee from Hangzhou. I opened the only two boxes this summer, one of which was full of ordinary clothes, nothing special at all; the other box had a fire gun hidden under the clothes…
Cen Shou didn't find anything on the roof beams, so he also went into the back room, and when he saw the fire gun, he picked it up and frowned and looked at it for a moment, then put it back. This summer, put the clothes back in the original order, one by one, without any clutter.
The bottom of the bed was empty, and there was nothing. Cen Shou's eyes were sharp, and when he saw a few green bricks were not smooth, he reached out to dig them, but the blue bricks didn't move at all.
The only nearly empty cabinets were searched from head to toe this summer and found no mezzanine. She lightly pressed a few walls with her hands, and found that the west wall was the coldest.
Cen Shou was a little annoyed. Apart from confirming the identity of Dong San they already knew, this night scout did not yield any useful results.
Before leaving, I took the broom in the corner of the house this summer, and swept the inside and outside a little to remove the footprints that might be left. After leaving the house, I wiped the footprints on the window frame clean. When they went back, the two of them were very careful, and they were likely to be found and followed, so they made a detour to make sure that no one was following before returning to the other courtyard.
Entering the inner hall of the other courtyard, Cen Shou tore off the black cloth covering his face, and took a breath: "Unfortunately, I ran for nothing and found no useful clues."
"There is hardly anything in the house, which shows that he is not going to stay here for a long time. Then, if he is really planning something, it should be right now. One more thing..." He took a cup of tea, dipped his hand in the water, and showed it to him on the table, "When I was in the courtyard, I walked eighteen steps from the east end to the west end, but after entering the house, I took eight steps in the outhouse. , the back room also took eight steps, adding up to two steps less."
"… "
Cen Shou had experienced her investigation skills before, so he decided to take her to visit Dong Sanjia at night, but he was slightly surprised by the meticulousness of his surroundings this summer.
"So, does this room have compartments?"
"Yes, I have touched the wall, and the west-facing wall has moisture, it must have been built recently, and the plaster has not dried out." Jin Xia said, "I think it must be very important to hide in the compartment, Something that must never be seen. So the cubicle is right next to the bed, and if someone is cutting the wall from the outside, he can hear it right away."
"What do you think it is?"
"There are only a few things that can't be seen, one is gold and silver of unknown origin; the other is dead corpses; the third is a large number of weapons, especially firearms." Looking at him this summer, "According to the law of the Great Ming Dynasty , there are a large number of weapons, especially firearms, hidden in the home, and most of them will be charged with treason."
"Firearms..." Although it's just a guess, Cen Shou already felt that his head was big, "If there are really a lot of weapons, could it be that he wants to capture Xinhe City?"
"He is alone right now. If he hides firearms, someone will definitely come and make peace with him."
"Could it be gold and silver? Or a corpse?" To be honest, Cen Shouning was the latter, and he didn't want it to be a firearm.
This summer, I analyzed it for him: "If it is gold and silver, he has no plan to live for a long time, and there is no need to seal it in the wall; if it is a corpse, he lives very close to the Qingbo River. If he wants to destroy the corpse, he can directly throw the corpse into the wall. In the river, unless he is the kind of person who has a special hobby... If it is a corpse, the smell will come out from the mud after a long time. Could it be that the row of salted fish under the eaves is to block the smell? But even if he can bear it, he My wife and children can't stand it either."
"Could it be something else?"
"It's also possible, but I think it's most likely a firearm. You can see the firearm he has in the trunk. I heard that Japanese pirates sold arms at sea a few years ago, and they don't lack this."
She said it well and well, Cen Shou didn't ask any more questions, he frowned for a while, and suddenly said, "You're like this, how can you only be a quick catcher at Six Doors?"
"I also think that I should be promoted to the head of the police. Even if I can't be promoted, at least the salary should be increased. Sigh... Forget it, even a person like the head is just a head of the police, so I have nothing to feel embarrassed about. Now, go back and rest." After not sleeping for a long time, Jin Xia yawned in dismay, and walked while talking, and finally the voice disappeared in the corner of the wall.
