Chapter 102 Gao's House
Su Yan just arrived in the capital and met Shi Er because of the murder case of Doctor Liu and others.
During their time together, she discovered that although Shi Er had joined Zhao Mingde, he still seemed to want to do something practical for the people.
Regarding the death of Doctor Liu and several others, Su Yan never thought that it was just Manager Xu who was perverted, and there must be other forces behind it.
In the past, Su Yan had no intention of getting involved in the affairs of the capital, but the situation is different now.
The innkeeper couldn't explain it.
Su Yan and Liang Yi are both mediocre in martial arts, so it is impossible for them to force their way in.
They crawled forward looking for cover.
Innkeeper: “…”
He thought he had met a savior, but unexpectedly, two rookies came.
Not long after, Su Yan heard a muffled "bang" and the shopkeeper exclaimed.
Then someone jumped out of the second-floor window.
Su Yan and Liang Yi didn't bother to find cover and ran out.
A man in green fell from the second floor, with Yun Zhou in black standing next to him.
Yun Zhou originally planned to take the man away, but when he saw Su Yan, he was startled and quickly picked up the man.
The man's calf was probably broken. He looked in pain and stretched out his hands to Su Yan and Liang Yi, "Help!"
Yun Zhou muttered, "Trouble."
Liang Yi pushed Su Yan out, "He's calling for help."
Su Yan: “…”
Where is the scapegoat? !
Liang Yi argued, "You know him, but I don't."
Yun Zhou heard this and looked at Su Yan again.
He looked around, carried the man in green shirt and walked towards the alley, but not fast.
Su Yan realized that he seemed to have something to say, so he followed him.
When they reached the alley, Yun Zhou put the man down, climbed up the wall with one hand, and used the leverage to climb up a tree. Su Yan didn't know where he jumped to. He only heard the rustling sound of leaves colliding, and then Yun Zhou disappeared.
Su Yan walked over to check the Qingshan man’s injuries.
The green-shirted man's forehead was covered with sweat, and he looked like he could hardly bear the pain. "Thank you, young lady. Could you please take me out of the city?"
Su Yan was surprised and asked, "Why don't you go see a doctor? The bone must be broken, you need to rest."
The man shook his head. "I'm afraid I don't have time to rest. You saw that the man just now was not ordinary."
Liang Yi finally jumped out to take the blame, "Don't worry, as long as you explain your relationship with him, I..."
Su Yan glared at Liang Yi.
Liang Yi: “?”
Su Yan winked at him, and Liang Yi restrained himself a little, "I'll help you report to the authorities, we'll go to Jingzhao Prefecture."
The man smiled bitterly, "It's probably useless to go to Jingzhao Prefecture if I offend someone."
"Then I will guard you and protect you," Liang Yi asked, "How could you offend them?"
The man said, "To be honest, I don't know either. I think it may have something to do with my father."
Liang Yi looked at him curiously.
Su Yan stopped him and said, "It's not advisable to stay here for long. You should hide for a while. You can't force yourself to deal with this leg injury. If necessary, we will send you out of the city. But the premise is that everything I hear is true."
The man was about to explain when he heard the woman's voice again - otherwise I'd better practice killing people with a scalpel! I know a thousand ways to kill people!
The man looked at Su Yan in horror.
Su Yan smiled gently, as if he had said nothing.
man:"……"
Liang Yi first hid him in a house.
This yard was given to Liang Yi by someone else, a messy debt that cannot be settled. Even if Liang Yi was being monitored by Zhao Mingde, he might not know that the yard belonged to Liang Yi.
Su Yan fixed the man's leg. She could do this kind of job too, so there was no need to find a doctor.
The man introduced himself: "My last name is Liu, and my name is Liu Yu."
Su Yan raised an eyebrow at Liang Yi.
She actually guessed it right.
Liu Yu said: "My father was the imperial physician in the palace. He was murdered a few days ago. The person who murdered me... You may not know that he was sent by Chuyun Tower and was a subordinate of the chief steward Zhao Mingde. He used to be a hidden force, but later he openly committed atrocities in the capital. I heard that they restrained themselves after General Shi returned to the capital."
Su Yan pretended to be ignorant, "Your father was killed by them?"
Liu Yu said firmly: "It must be them! The government said it was the teahouse owner, I absolutely don't believe it! They just found someone to take the blame!"
"Why are you so sure?"
Although Liu Yu was angry, he hesitated to speak, "It's better for you not to know about this matter, so as not to bring trouble upon yourself."
Su Yan said: "We have already brought you back, which is a disaster for us."
Liang Yi also agreed, "Why not let us die with a clear conscience?"
Liu Yu: "...My father went to the palace that day, and when he came back he was very panicked and immediately went to look for his best friend. Not long after, my father was killed, and then his best friend also died. This can't be a coincidence? He must have discovered something in the palace. It must be Zhao Mingde's doing!"
Su Yan wondered, "According to what you said, he is so arrogant that he openly raises assassins. What else is there in the palace that he is afraid of being discovered by the imperial physician?"
Liu Yu said: "Your Majesty was seriously ill at the time. I think there was something else going on. It might be a rumor spread by Zhao Mingde in order to control the government."
"This is even more wrong," Su Yan said, "You said that this Zhao Mingde has always been very powerful. What has happened to His Majesty? He wants to make His Majesty seriously ill? Is it good for him?"
Liu Yu was speechless.
Liang Yi originally firmly believed that all the bad things in the capital were done by Zhao Mingde. After experiencing the incident in Shi Mansion, he began to suspect everyone.
Su Yan said: "Why don't you think about the route your father took after entering the palace and who he might run into?"
"Empress Liang was ill, and he was summoned to the palace. If he hadn't been summoned, he wouldn't have been able to enter the harem. The only people he could have met were His Majesty's concubines."
"Where was His Majesty at the time?"
"It should be in Concubine Xian's Changning Palace. Concubine Xian is currently the most favored. Your Majesty has always..."
Liu Yu didn't explain it very clearly.
Su Yan: "No wonder you suspect it's related to your majesty's illness. It's true."
Liu Yu: "It's a pity that my father didn't tell me. He blamed me for not caring about him enough. I clearly noticed something was wrong, but I didn't ask more questions."
After settling Liu Yu, Su Yan and Liang Yi left, and Su Yan walked towards the house.
Su Yan and Liang Yi were not going the same way, so they separated in the alley.
On the way back, Su Yan kept thinking about the murder of Doctor Liu.
What happened to him in the palace that resulted in his death?
He's not the only one.
There was no one in the alley. As Su Yan was walking, he suddenly heard the sound of a small stone falling to the ground.
She raised her head and looked around, and saw Yun Zhou squatting on the wall, throwing stones at her.
Su Yan: “…”
over.
At this moment, Su Yan brainstormed and imagined hundreds of ways to kill people in his mind.
Of course, she was the victim and Yun Zhou was the murderer.
Yunzhou hooked his arm at her.
Su Yan's steps were heavy.
She also wanted to protect herself, but it was obvious that she couldn't outrun Yun Zhou.
Every time this happened, she regretted not practicing well with Su Mao when she was young.
The path Yun Zhou chose was winding, and Su Yan followed him out of the city and to the stream.
Yunzhou stopped and waited for her.
Su Yan looked back as he walked.
Liang Yi said he would send someone to protect her, where is that person? Where is that person?
Yun Zhou said: "Those people following you are really troublesome, so I just got rid of them."
Su Yan: “…”
The tone seems to be helping her? ?
Su Yan looked at Yun Zhou with resentment, "You don't want to silence me here, do you?"
Yun Zhou was surprised and said, "I want to silence you. Do I need to change places? I can kill you and Liang Yi beside you in the inn."
Su Yan took a breath of cold air.
Yun Zhou made a gesture of wiping his neck and raised his eyebrows, saying, "It's just Liang Yi. How many lives have I taken? Why would I be afraid of him?"
Su Yan was thinking about who he could call for help.
When will you return home late?
Cloud travel?
Yun Zhou said, "You don't have to think too much. I'm not interested in your life. I won't do anything to the coroner."
Su Yan breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that her magical identity has not yet been discovered.
Su Yan asked: "You called me over here, is there something wrong?"
Yun Zhou nodded, "Where did Yun Xing go?"
Su Yan asked curiously, "You are my companions, but you come to ask me? He is not in Izumo Tower?"
Yun Zhou had a strange feeling when he heard the word "companion". "Companion? We are just carrying out the mission together. He gives orders and I do the work."
Su Yan: "Since we are just on a mission together, it doesn't matter if he is missing, but why do we still care about him?"
Yun Zhou: “…”
He really doesn't like women who are good at speaking.
Yun Zhou: "Just think I'm thick-skinned. I want to ask you something when I see you. I didn't do anything to you in the academy. Don't repay kindness with hatred."
Su Yan complained in his heart - I shouldn't have died in the first place, and I should thank you for not killing me.
Yun Zhou: "..., aren't you afraid of offending people by saying this?"
Su Yan: Haha, it depends on the person.
Yun Zhou: “…”
There is a feeling of being manipulated.
Su Yan coughed lightly and said, "I haven't seen Yun Xing since I returned to the capital. We just happened to meet. How could he tell me where he was going? I'm not interested."
"Really?" Yun Zhou raised his eyebrows. "He admitted that he met a girl and accepted the punishment."
Su Yan was slightly startled, "Accept the punishment?"
Yun Zhou said, "You walked all the way with him, and he didn't kill you. Isn't that scary? Zhao Zong was worried that he might have second thoughts, so he naturally wanted to teach him a lesson. Fortunately, he admitted it. Before he returned to Beijing, Zhao Zong had sent people to investigate. If he had denied it, he would be dead now."
Su Yan didn't say anything.
Yun Zhou said proudly: "And you can still stand here alive, you should thank me."
Su Yan was really confused this time.
Yun Xing said: "I am the one who was responsible for getting rid of you. I am the only one who knows your appearance. I have reported to Chuyun Tower and found the body in the mass grave. The matter of you and Yun Xing going together is over. Of course, if you continue to follow the young prince in a high-profile manner in the future, you may be discovered."
Although Zhao Zong knew that Yun Xing had gone to the capital with Su Yan and Liang Yi, he did not know Su Yan's identity and appearance, and he never thought that a prince would be so close to a coroner.
Su Yan is still relatively hidden for the time being and not on the surface.
Su Yan didn't believe it, "Why are you helping me? We don't even know each other."
Yun Zhou raised his eyebrows and said proudly, "It's rare for Yun Xing to ask me for help, so of course I have to accept this favor. And..."
Su Yan calmly took back the initiative: "Besides, you don't want to kill anyone anymore now. You just let Liu Yu go on purpose. Is killing Liu Yu also your mission? Is it related to Zhao Mingde?"
Yun Zhou smiled and said, "I can't tell you this. Your head is important, and so is mine. I can only say that there are not many loyal people, and everyone has to think about themselves."
*
Yun Zhou wanted to know the whereabouts of Yun Xing, so he met Su Yan, which meant that Yun Xing had not returned to Chuyun Tower for some time.
Where would he be if not in Izumo Tower?
People like them, even if they lose their lives, probably no one will know about it.
Although Su Yan was worried, she had no way to inquire about Yun Xing's whereabouts. Yun Zhou was right, she had to keep a low profile and not jump out again.
Man Rong has passed the message to Su Yan three times, and the situation of Gao's house has been roughly understood.
The courtyard of the Gao residence is very large, and each maid is responsible for her own area. They don't even have to sleep in a large dormitory, which is absolutely normal.
The maids didn't have much work to do, basically just taking care of the flowers and plants, and Gao's house provided three meals a day.
Manrong had never seen a real master, and the housekeeper told her that her job was to take care of the flowers.
Several maids who lived close to her also said that life in Gao's house was very leisurely and it was a good job. The housekeeper even arranged singing girls for them and taught them various musical instruments and dances.
Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that there was something wrong with Gao's house, but Manrong praised Gao's house highly, and so did the other maids.
The day to get the news has arrived again, and Su Yan and Liang Yi are waiting outside Gao's house early.
Manrong has free movement and is always punctual, but today she was late.
Liang Yi casually picked a piece of wild grass and said depressedly: "Is she delayed by something, or is something really wrong? Something big may happen in the capital in the next few days. I am very worried about my second brother."
It's a pity that the second brother doesn't need his protection because he is too weak.
Su Yan felt uneasy, "Let's wait a little longer."
Maybe I can wait.
