Liang Yanbei's ears were much more sensitive than Wen Chan's, and he could distinguish more than one person from the sound of footsteps.
Coupled with the faint voice of dialogue, he guessed that it was a man and a woman.
The two of them had already reached the gate of the small courtyard.
He grabbed Wen Chan with his backhand, pulled him around the screen, and got into the inner room.
The structure of the room is simple, the decorations are simple, and the light is too dim, Liang Yanbei took a look and found no place to hide the two of them.
Wen Chan's eyes were even darkened, he couldn't see anything, pushed Liang Yanbei twice, and said urgently in a low voice, "Under the bed, go under the bed."
The people outside were getting closer and closer, Liang Yanbei didn't have time to think anymore, so he ran to the bed in two or three steps, letting Wen Chan get in first.
The moment the door was opened, Liang Yanbei hid his whole body under the bed.
Maybe it has been cleaned, but the bottom is not dirty.
The foot of the bed was more than two feet wide. In order to completely hide it, Liang Yanbei rolled in twice, putting his shoulder close to Wen Chan.
After a while, the room was lit with light.
I saw two pairs of feet entangled from the outer room to the inner room, as if they couldn't wait.
Wen Chan couldn't see it, but he could hear the footsteps getting closer. He saw that the foot of the bed was too high, and saw that half of Liang Yanbei's body was covered with light, so he stretched out his hand to pull Liang Yanbei's clothes.
Signal him to move inside.
Liang Yanbei thought he was uncomfortable, so he turned around quietly, trying to face Wen Chan sideways.
However, the distance was too close. When he turned around like this, the tip of his nose almost touched the bridge of Wen Chan's nose, and the hot breath he exhaled sprinkled all over Wen Chan's face.
It burned him all over his face immediately.
Because of the backlight, Wen Chan couldn't see Liang Yanbei's face clearly, but he could vaguely see those bright eyes.
He suppressed his flustered breathing and hurriedly lowered his head.
Very close and very quiet.
Wen Chan can't remember how many years he hasn't been so close to Liang Yanbei, so close that he can clearly hear Liang Yanbei's heart beating regularly in his chest.
It's as if you can feel it by gently covering it with your hand.
The time has passed for too long, Wen Chan has long forgotten what Liang Yanbei's embrace tastes like, all he can remember.
There is only a little lingering thought stubbornly retained under the polishing of years.
Wen Chan felt his heart beating hard, like a gong and drum.
Suddenly there was a muffled sound from the bed, and a woman's voice sounded from above her head, "Brother Ayun, I thought you wouldn't come back to find me today."
"How come, I haven't seen Yu'er for a day, and I miss her so much, how can I bear it?"
The man's voice was low and deep, and there was a smile in his words.
As if wrapped in honey, the woman was so happy, "You just know how to tease me with sweet words."
"Isn't Yu'er just loving to hear these things?" The man panted heavily.
A man and a woman never thought that there were two people hiding under their bed, and after closing the door, they were anxious to do something good. After a while, unbearable voices intertwined.
Wen Chan's face was very indifferent, he turned a deaf ear to the voice, and thought, "Hello Tan Yuji, there are indeed people out there!"
He thought of his first queen, Jiang Yueying, in his previous life.
I don't know if she had any intention of murdering him when she was having an affair with the guard again... But even if she did, it would be difficult to succeed.
Just thinking about it, my thoughts drifted away again.
Suddenly there was a high-pitched meow from a woman.
Wen Chan couldn't help shaking when he heard this, which touched Liang Yanbei.
He was about to lower his head a little more, when he suddenly felt Liang Yanbei's arms move, and the warm palms covered his ears, blocking most of the filthy voices.
He also thoughtfully put his arm under Wen Chan's head as a pillow.
Wen Chan raised his head in astonishment, but he still couldn't see anything clearly.
It's just that the temperature of Liang Yanbei's body surrounded him, fused with the heat of his body, and turned into something sweeter than berries, tightly enveloping Wen Chan's heart.
It made him both throbbing and uneasy.
The men and women on the bed had a lot of back and forth, but just as you were about to get to the point, there was an unexpected shout outside the door.
"Miss! Madam has something to tell Miss, and I will send a servant to pass it on!"
This little maid came at the right time.
After the sound came, the movement on the bed stopped abruptly, and then the man's voice sounded, "This bitch should be killed, leave her alone."
"No." The woman refused, "This is from my mother's side, don't move, get up quickly."
"But… "
"Don't worry about it. My mother must be looking for me at this time because she has something urgent to do. I have to go." The woman firmly pushed the man away.
"Then when will you come back?" The man was very upset when he was stopped.
"I'm afraid it won't happen today. Brother Ayun, you should go back today and make an appointment at another day."
The man was very upset about this matter, the woman coaxed a few words in a gentle voice, until the maid outside urged her again, she adjusted her clothes and went out in response.
After the woman left, the man cursed alone in the room for a while to vent his anger, and then strode away.
After waiting for a while, the two came out from under the bed.
Liang Yanbei was alright, his red clothes were heavy and there was no dust, but Wen Chan's clothes were light in color, half of his body was covered with light dust.
He patted it clean with his hands, and just about to speak, he heard Liang Yanbei next to him whisper, "This woman is probably Tan Yuji."
Wen Chan: "???"
"I don't want to hear such nonsense from your mouth again." Wen Chan sighed seriously.
The woman called "Yu'er" who appeared in Tan Yuji's room was her out of ten out of ten.
Liang Yanbei thought to himself, it was only after you came to May Island that you began to listen to me seriously, and said, "This is the last time I will talk nonsense in my life."
After hearing this, Wen Chan couldn't help laughing, and then urged, "Let's leave quickly."
"No hurry." Liang Yanbei paced around the house, "Let's search around first."
When the man left, he didn't turn off the lamps, which saved them the trouble of lighting them up. One lamp for the inner room and one lamp for the outer room, fully illuminating the interior of the room.
Wen Chan thought about it for a second, he has come, so he can't go back with nothing, right
Fortunately, he also searched together to see if he could find anything related in Tan Yuji's room.
Because it is a temporary residence, the girl in the room does not have many things, mainly in the wardrobe, bed, and bronze mirror table.
Wen Chan didn't want to go through the woman's clothes, so he picked and picked in front of the bronze mirror table.
They were nothing more than some decorative jewels and jade hairpins, he fiddled with them casually, and suddenly saw a blue hairpin from among the dazzling pile of heads, he stretched out his hand and took it out.
The style of this hairpin is not unique, but it can also be seen that it is a good quality jade. The most important point is that the woman in the mouth of the piano and chess who pointed them to the wrong way is wearing a green hairpin.
Although it is very likely to be a coincidence, Wen Chan even suspects that every girl will have such a blue hairpin, but at the same time, it also adds to his uncertainty about Tan Yuji.
He put the hairpin back to its original place and opened the drawer of the table.
As soon as it was opened, a scent came to the nostrils, mixed with a strong smell of grass, and the taste was indescribably weird, which made Wen Chan's brows twitch.
He took out several boxes of rouge in the drawer and opened them one by one, and sure enough, he saw crushed grass leaves in one of the boxes.
The grass is slightly yellow, and there is not much juice, obviously used.
Hidden in a drawer full of rouge, too much to cover up.
The moment Wen Chan saw the grass juice, he confirmed his suspicion of Tan Yuji. He held the box and wanted to turn around to call for someone, but suddenly found that Liang Yanbei had stood behind him at some point.
"Can you make a sound like a normal person?" Wen Chan was taken aback, a little helpless.
"Then next time I walk and learn how a rooster crows?" Liang Yanbei raised his eyebrows slightly, "I called you just now, but you were so absorbed in your thinking that you didn't hear me."
is it
Wen Chan asked, "What did you ask me to do?"
"I looked over there and found nothing."
"Look at what this is?" Wen Chan remembered that he still had something in his hand and handed it to him.
Liang Yanbei stretched out two fingers, picked up one of the grass leaves that had been crushed and stuck together, and looked carefully, "The root is narrow and the tail is wide, and the juice turns yellow. It should be horse ear grass."
"Then the murderer is Tan Yuji?"
"The murderer has always been two people." Liang Yanbei shook his head lightly, "Besides, this thing alone is not enough to convict Tan Yuji. We need more evidence."
"Then let's go to the horse ear grass and see, maybe we can find something." He suggested.
Liang Yanbei agreed, "Okay, let's go now."
"Now?" Wen Chan subconsciously glanced at the sky outside, "It's a bit late..."
The Bliss City in broad daylight is not peaceful, let alone at night, and the place where the yamen is located is a bit remote.
"The time is just right now. If you don't want to, we can stroll around the city for a while before going." Liang Yanbei thought for a while, "I haven't had dinner yet, why don't we go eat something first."
Wen Chan still wanted to speak, but Liang Yanbei gently pushed his arm and urged, "Put the things back, let's get out of here."
As soon as he said he wanted to leave, Wen Chan quickly put his things back, not wanting to stay for a moment longer.
After putting all the rouge boxes back, he left only the box containing the horse ear grass, and said, "Keep this, it's a criminal evidence."
The rouge box is exquisite in workmanship, with the word "Tan's" printed on the bottom. Once the things are taken out, Tan Yuji will not be able to refuse them.
The two didn't stay long, took the box and left from Tan Yuji's residence, bypassed the secluded path, and left the City Lord's Mansion through the east courtyard gate.
In the city of bliss at night, singing and dancing are very lively, the sounds of music and singing come from all directions, and the gongs and drums are tapped to form a regular and beautiful rhythm.
Looking at the scenery of red flowers and willows, Wen Chan sighed again, this city really deserves the name of bliss.
The festival lasts for two months, starting from May and ending in July, and June is the busiest time for celebrating the gods.
The City Lord's Mansion is located in the center of Bliss City. At this moment, more than half of the city's people have gathered. A ring-shaped fire is lit in the wide open space, and people sing and dance around the fire.
Wen Chan's eyes were shining with the light of the fire, and he couldn't help admiring in a low voice, "There are so many people."
He likes lively places the most, the more people there are, the happier he is.
Liang Yanbei noticed his little expression, and pulled him towards the huge bonfire, "Let's go and have a look too."
