Chapter 999 Gao's House
Manrong was determined to enter Gao's house to make money, and she was very confident in herself, so Su Yan couldn't stop her.
After asking a few more questions, she found out that Gao Zhai only picked one or two people each time and the competition for the positions was very fierce.
Su Yan sighed: "Whether it's now or hundreds or thousands of years from now, working and part-time jobs are still so competitive."
Liang Yi: “?”
What class do you take?
What kind of job do you do?
Manrong went to sign up in a hurry, and ran away after getting rid of Su Yan.
Liang Yi finally had time to ask, "What are you doubting about?"
Su Yan hesitated, "I suspect their purpose is not to find a maid."
"If not a maid, what else can they look for?" Liang Yi said, "Master Gao is a wealthy man. There is nothing in the capital that cannot be bought with money. They don't need to go through so much trouble."
That's true.
Su Yan said: "Help Xue Yaoying find her sister first and see the result first."
The "audition" lasted until sunset.
The vendors carrying their shoulder poles began to walk home, and the night market gradually became lively.
The girls were still gathered together waiting for the results, and everyone was very nervous.
Gao's housekeeper came out and announced, "This time our master only picked one girl. Where is Manrong?"
Manrong couldn't hide her joy on her face and raised her hand excitedly, "It's me!"
The housekeeper said, "Go home and pack your things, and come to Gao's house tomorrow."
After he finished speaking, he packed up his things and left with a few servants.
Manrong seemed to have seen that the house was full of silver.
The other girls enviously said, "That's great. We won't have to worry about food and clothing anymore."
Manrong bit her lip, trying not to laugh so as not to be hated by others.
She lowered her head and walked quickly towards home. She still had to pack her bags so that she could help her family when she earned some money.
Liang Yi jumped out from a corner and dragged Manrong away.
Before Manrong could even scream, Liang Yi accurately predicted and covered her mouth and nose.
Manrong: “Mmmmm!”
Liang Yi: "Keep your voice down. I just want to do a deal with you. Don't alarm other people. Do you agree?"
Manrong: “Mmmmm!”
Liang Yi: "Alas, I am telling the truth. If we wanted to hurt you, we wouldn't have waited until now... Su Yan, why are you looking at me like that?"
Su Yan smiled: "If you don't let her go, how can she speak?"
Liang Yi: "...Oh yes, sorry girl."
He let go of Manrong and took a step back.
Man Rong: "Who taught you to cover your nose as well??!"
She almost suffocated!
"Yes," Liang Yi said, "I will remember this in my military strategy when I get back, and I won't make this mistake again."
Su Yan: “…”
Does this have anything to do with the art of war?
Su Yan started talking about "business" with Man Rong.
"You give us news regularly. Any news is fine as long as it is related to Gao's house. For each time you provide information, I will pay...he will pay you ten coins of silver."
Liang Yi nodded, "Yes, I'll pay."
Well...why should he pay?
This is a good deal, more worthwhile than being a maid in a high-class mansion.
Man Rong's bright eyes kept flashing, "Really give me money? Can I deliver ten messages to you in one day?"
Liang Yi said: "Of course, the more the better."
Su Yan added, "It's not news that there are a few weeds in the yard."
Manrong was obviously very disappointed. It was not easy to fool her...
But ten coins for a piece of news could still cheer her up. "Okay, I'll think of a way. The day after tomorrow morning, you guys go to the northernmost part and wait. I'll go find you. When I find a suitable place, we'll change the location."
After making an appointment with Manrong, Su Yan and Liang Yi went home.
As soon as Su Yan returned, he found a gun used on the battlefield and waved it in the yard.
Now she only regretted not listening to Su Mao's advice and keeping fit. It was too dangerous for her to stay in the capital alone.
However, Su Yan's level was already very strong in the eyes of the little maid. The two people sitting beside her applauded her, "The girl is so amazing."
Su Yan was elated: Hehe, I am still quite capable, they really have good taste.
The little maid was even happier: "Who is praising me for my taste? I am really good at this!"
The three provide emotional value to each other.
Su Yan asked: "Are there many people who know Kung Fu in the capital?"
"I don't know. Apart from the Imperial Guards, I only heard that Izumo Tower is the most powerful."
Su Yan's mind moved slightly, "You have been in the capital for a long time, have you heard of the rumors about Chuyun Tower?"
The maids nodded repeatedly. They were no longer sleepy when talking about Izumo Tower.
"Izumo Tower is particularly abominable. The people inside are arrogant and domineering and have done many bad things."
Su Yan asked: "Have you heard of Yun Xing?"
She hadn't seen him for several days.
The maid really knew him. "I've heard of him. I know the people under Fengtu's guards. The one they mentioned most often is Yunxing. They say that he is good at martial arts, ruthless, and listens to the stinky eunuchs."
Everyone in Liang Yi's mansion called Zhao Mingde a stinky eunuch.
Now there are no outsiders, and Su Yan is different from other masters, so they dare to speak out.
Su Yan had no doubt that if Zhao Mingde still had the power he had back then, he would cut Liang Yi into pieces even if Liang Yi was a prince.
Su Yan asked: "He has done a lot of bad things? People in Chuyun Tower should be the same."
"It's different," the maid said. "For example, the other people in Chuyunlou are very arrogant. They know kung fu and are guarded by the stinky lady. And people have desires to some extent. They want money and women, and they can be bribed. But this one is different. He wants nothing and is not interested in anything, but he is very loyal."
This is indeed Yunxing’s style.
"Who did he kill? Good guys? Bad guys?"
The maid was confused and said, "I can't tell the good from the bad. Anyway, they are all people who oppose Zhao Mingde."
Another maid said, "He must be a good person."
"Not necessarily," the maid said, "Didn't you hear what the young lady said about the Shi Mansion? We used to think that the Shi Mansion was the best of the good, but when they play tricks, they are just like the bad guys."
It's really heartbreaking.
The more the two discussed, the more philosophical their ideas became. Su Yan even wanted to send them to school, hoping that they could become famous thinkers in history.
Su Yan sighed in his heart.
If Yun Xing really hurt a good person...she didn't know what to do.
In fact, he was not a good person, and she shouldn't be so entangled.
With Liang Yi taking the blame, Su Yan doesn't have to go to Jingzhao Prefecture on weekdays. He only needs to go there to perform an autopsy when a murder occurs.
On the day agreed with Manrong, Su Yan and Liang Yi disguised themselves and sneaked to the north side of Gao's house.
Liang Yi specifically asked the servant for a set of clothes and asked Su Yan for credit, "I am dressed low-key today, right? I am very receptive to opinions."
Su Yan looked at Liang Yi's clothes, then looked at his own clothes: "..."
Still better than hers.
Bah, royalty!
Feng Tu was arranged to guard in the dark, while Su Yan and Liang Yi pretended to be brother and sister and wandered around nearby.
Liang Yi said: "Look at this wall, it's different from the houses of ordinary merchants. What kind of business is Mr. Gao doing, and who is behind him?"
"It must be related to the court," Su Yan asked, "Which official has he been in frequent contact with? Doesn't Shi Yangui know? And His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, he should be aware of the situation in the capital, right?"
"Didn't you ask me to keep it a secret? I haven't asked my second brother yet. I don't know what's wrong with Brother Yan Gui recently. He has been seeing my second brother less often, and I can't see him either."
Su Yan asked sensitively: "The number of meetings has decreased?"
Shi Yangui has just returned to Beijing, and now is a sensitive period.
Did you reduce the number of meetings because you were worried about arousing Zhao Mingde's suspicion, or was there some other reason?
"I can't explain it clearly," Liang Yi said depressedly, "They don't want to tell me something. I guess they are afraid that I will leak the secret. They still treat me like a child. Sigh."
So he would rather follow Su Yan, at least Su Yan treats him as a mature person.
Although he is a mature fool, he is also an adult!
Su Yan realized that the situation in the capital was not as simple as Liang Yi said, and Shi Yangui had other plans.
Liang Yi worriedly advised, "Don't be angry with Brother Yan Gui, he can't do anything about it."
"Why am I angry?"
"He hid the Xia family's affairs from you. Aren't you very angry?"
"That's something related to me, and it has nothing to do with me. Considering the situation, it's normal to hide something." Su Yan said, "But you can't hide from me who the murderer of my father and mother is. I have to die on the road of revenge!"
Liang Yi was infected by Su Yan's attitude, "Okay, I will take revenge with you!"
Su Yan: “…”
She really wanted to give Liang Yi the title of "The Blame Taker".
When Su Yan and Man Rong made the appointment, Man Rong did not know Gao's schedule and could not agree on an exact time with Su Yan.
They waited for half an hour before they heard a sound coming from the courtyard wall.
It was the sound of stones hitting the wall, one, two, three times...
Su Yan also responded by knocking on the stone.
Manrong's voice came from inside, "Miss Liang?"
Su Yan did not tell Man Rong her real name. Now that she is a person with an "identity", she has to protect herself.
As for why the surname is Liang, Liang Yi also found it strange. Su Yan said confidently, "You royal family don't do any serious work. You are idle every day. I have to take advantage of the good luck."
Liang Yi: “…”
Very good, you almost got thrown into jail.
Su Yan responded to Man Rong.
Manrong threw out a ball of paper, "Silver!"
Liang Yi reached out to catch it, but he didn't expect the paper ball to be quite heavy and it hurt when it hit his hand.
He unfolded the paper ball and found that there was actually a stone inside. "Are you kidding me?!"
Man Rong was speechless, "Isn't this convenient to throw away? Miss Liang, your brother is too stupid!"
Su Yan took the paper and corrected, "It's my younger brother."
"Your brother is so stupid!"
Liang Yi: “…”
How can he be the younger brother? He wants to be the older brother!
However, Liang Yi could only pay the money reluctantly.
Su Yan scanned the contents on the paper. Man Rong wrote down the places she had visited and the rules of Gao's house.
