Chapter 385 The villain dies because of his talkativeness
Zhu Lan began to look at Gongsun Yushu again, "Then...should I find someone to search the young master's body?"
As soon as the words came out, Gongsun Yushu's expression relaxed a little, and he even opened his arms and said with a smile:
"Okay, then you come and search. If you find anything, you can take it away."
Zhu Lan thought for a moment, "Oh, it seems that this is not something he carries with him."
Gongsun Yushu was stunned.
No, when a normal person hears this, shouldn’t he think of searching his body first? If nothing is found, it proves that the thing is not on him!
Why doesn't this person follow the routine?
"It was neither placed outside the body nor hidden in the clothes on the body..."
Zhu Lan walked around Gongsun Yushu, seemingly muttering to himself.
Many possibilities came to her mind, as well as ways of hiding secrets that she had seen in books before.
The most reliable, most concealed, and least likely to be lost method is -
"Could it be that Young Master... has tattooed the secret on his body?"
"You're talking nonsense. How, how is that possible!" Gongsun Yushu jumped up from his chair as if he was pricked by a needle.
The sound is very loud.
The moment Gongsun Yushu jumped up, Zhu Lan noticed that his right arm moved slightly, as if he wanted to hide his arm behind his back, but he stopped abruptly.
"I see."
Zhu Lan sneered, took a step forward, grabbed Gongsun Yushu's right arm, and pulled open his sleeve.
The skinny and shriveled arm, and even the skin color were completely different from those of ordinary people. It had turned into yellowish brown, like that of an octogenarian.
Zhu Lan moved closer and looked more carefully, and was able to vaguely see -
It wasn't a matter of skin color, but the fact that Gongsun Yushu's right arm was densely covered with many rice-sized words tattooed on it!
"It turns out that the light is dark." Zhu Lan suddenly laughed.
Before she could see what was written on it, Gongsun Yushu had already pulled his arm back and took several steps back, his voice trembling.
"You...how did you find out?!"
With just one sentence, Zhu Lan was speechless.
The air suddenly became quiet.
Zhu Lan looked at Gongsun Yushu with a complicated expression, and said in a very tangled tone:
"Young Master, um... there is something going on. It's like this."
"Next time you have a secret you don't want to tell, here's my advice: don't say a word."
"I can see that Young Master likes to play exciting games. He likes to watch his opponent get close to the truth but is helpless."
"But what I want to say is——"
Zhu Lan held his forehead and sighed softly.
"As the ancients said, villains die because they talk too much, and it's true."
"You're really easy to guess."
Gongsun Yushu's face turned from white to green in an instant.
Easy to guess? This woman said she was easy to guess?
Gongsun Yushu felt that he had never suffered such humiliation in his life!
"Good! You are capable and you are smarter than me!" Gongsun Yushu shouted in despair, and a crazy smile gradually spread across his face.
"Hahahaha... Even if you guessed it, what can you do? What can you do to me?"
"Yes, the evidence is on my arm. Do you have the guts to cut off my arm and take it away?"
"Do you dare?"
"Do you dare?!"
Zhu Lan answered seriously: "I dare not."
"But I think Princess Ning Yue dares."
Gongsun Yushu's smile froze for a short time, but then he smiled again.
"To tell you the truth, the words on my arm are not tattoos, but written with special dyes. They will only appear when there is blood flowing in the body. If I die, or if you cut off my hand--"
"No one can get what's on it!"
Zhu Lan didn't know whether what he said was true or not, but there were many secret techniques among the people, and it was not ruled out that some tattoos needed the help of human body temperature to appear.
But it doesn’t matter, she didn’t really intend to cut off Gongsun Yushu’s arm and take him away.
It's too bloody and disgraceful.
"Don't even think about transcribing it." Gongsun Yushu reminded again "kindly".
"Every word on it was written by the guard himself shortly before his death. It can be compared with the handwriting on file in the palace, so it is valid evidence."
"If it is transcribed, who knows whose testimony it is and where it was obtained from?"
"So, if you want to make this matter known to the world, I must go to Beijing safely."
"But my legs are on my own body, what can you do to me? If you force me, I can't guarantee that I won't be so upset that I will threaten you with death."
Gongsun Yushu's tone was almost like he was playing tricks. He sat down again and wanted to see what Zhu Lan could do to him.
"So Young Master is unwilling to take the initiative to follow me back to Beijing, right?"
Zhu Lan was not angry at all, instead his tone was very sincere.
Gongsun Yushu sneered, with some malice, "What do you think?"
"I understand." Zhu Lan said.
Just when Gongsun Yushu was curious about what tricks the other party would use against him next, he saw Zhu Lan turned around, opened the door, and made a gesture to him.
"Young Master, please."
Gongsun Yushu didn't understand.
Zhu Lan blinked his eyes and said in surprise: "The legs are on my young master. If you don't want to go back to Beijing with me, what can I do?"
"In that case, young master, please do as you please. If you don't want to go back to the mansion, you can stay for dinner."
Gongsun Yushu looked at Zhu Lan with some disbelief, and seeing that he was not joking, he walked out tentatively, and sure enough, no one stopped him.
Since it won't embarrass himself, he certainly won't stay any longer!
Zhu Qingyan and Murong Jing had gone somewhere unknown, and Ding Xiaoqiu was waiting outside.
"Where is Liang Zhou?" Zhu Lan asked.
"Senior Brother Liang Zhou said that the people he brought with him cannot leave Yingcang County for too long. You are more than enough to handle the remaining matters here, so he will take his people to Yingcang County first."
After Ding Xiaoqiu finished speaking, he looked at Gongsun Yushu's back as he left, and then asked Zhu Lan with some concern:
"Just let him go like that?"
The corners of Zhu Lan's lips slowly rose into an arc.
"He will be back."
"Not only will he come back, he will also beg me to take him to the capital to see the emperor."
(P.S. There are 3 chapters today, but starting tomorrow I will update once every few days to save up my drafts and optimize the outline. My dears, don’t forget me when you’re stocking up on articles, hahaha)
