Chapter 12
"I will definitely kill you!!"
The nanny who was sleeping on the couch felt as if a thorn was thorned in her back for some reason, and suddenly opened her eyes.
She had a nightmare. She dreamed that she and her wife insisted on caning the Second Young Lady's only two servants, and finally beat them to death. The Second Young Lady was pinned aside, staring at them with bloodshot eyes, and kept screaming, "I will definitely kill you!"
Driving the Second Young Lady crazy was exactly what she and her wife wanted to see happen, but for some reason, the vicious roar she heard in her dream made her extremely scared and woke her up from her sleep.
She suddenly sat up from the couch, turned over and looked back. There was nothing but darkness in front of her, and only some utensils, tables and chairs could be vaguely seen in the hazy moonlight.
I feel a little relieved.
A cold moon was in the sky, and a bit of hazy blue and white moonlight shone through the window paper into the small room. Apart from the sound of cicadas, there was silence in the ears.
The nanny's face was filled with worry, and she covered her pounding heart with both hands. For some reason, the image of Youyang glaring at her with bloodshot eyes and resentment kept flashing through her mind.
There was nothing around, and everything tonight was obviously no different from the past, but why was she still trembling with fear and anxiety in her heart?
"What is Mammy looking at?"
In an instant, a cold and long voice slowly sounded behind her head.
It was like a poisonous green snake that had lived in the depths of the forest for who knows how long, killing people invisibly. It coiled around the body, making people feel cold all over and lose any ability to resist within a few breaths.
"Ah..." The scream just started and then stopped.
She didn't have the chance to scream, because almost at the same moment, her neck was cut open by a knife.
A steady stream of blood flowed down uncontrollably. The nanny, who was still sitting, suddenly twitched a few times, fell under the couch, and fell on the cold stone slab, feeling the blood draining away bit by bit.
She was unable to struggle, but the desire to survive aroused her will. She dug her ten fingers into the cracks in the stone slabs and tried to crawl out little by little to seek help.
Seeing this, You Yang jumped down from the couch lightly, half of her face was stained with a lot of blood sprayed by the nanny, her beautiful eyes were extremely cold, staring at her mercilessly as she moved bit by bit.
Her right hand was inconvenient due to injury, and she was not very skilled in using the knife with her left hand this time, so she was unable to dodge and accidentally had half of her face splattered with blood.
She turned her wrist to retract the blade, wiped the blood off her face casually with the narrow sleeve of her right hand, and in two steps she dragged the man back to his original place by his legs.
You Yang smiled freely, but her eyes were cold.
"Mammy, since you're just an accomplice, I'll give you a quick death."
She slapped Mammy's face, which was pale from loss of blood, with the blade of the knife.
"Don't worry. I know you two are of one mind, master and servant. You are the most loyal. I will send your master down with you in a moment."
"Let your master-servant relationship continue even in the underworld."
The nanny opened and closed her mouth, but no sound came out and no one knew what she was saying.
You Yang laughed and waved her hands, "Oh, no need. What's the relationship between you and me? It would be awkward to say thank you. No need."
You Yang just waited there eagerly, and only left without any worries after the nanny died.
Fortunately, she didn't make a mistake when she slashed the man's neck with her left hand the first time, otherwise she would have had to stab him a few more times before he was dead.
You Yang waited for half an hour before leaving and coming to the outside of Liu Mei's main house.
I found that the candlelight was still on, so I listened carefully and found that the two people's affairs were not over yet. The more I thought about it, the more it seemed wrong. This was really wrong.
It's obvious that her cheap father is not someone who can hold on for that long.
Youyang walked around the main house for a long time and finally found a slightly hidden window.
So she scored twice and slipped in again.
As soon as You Yang entered the house, she was almost fainted by the indescribable smell inside.
It's too pungent.
You Yang waved her hands in disgust to disperse the smell and looked at the mess around her.
This time the battle was more intense than she had imagined, even the red mandarin duck bellyband was torn off.
How long has the adulterer been dry? Why is he so impatient?
What kind of luck does she have? Why does she, who has extraordinary hearing, always encounter such things?
"Tell me... am I better or is he better..."
On the swaying bed, a man climbed on the woman under him and asked her urgently.
Oh my god!
When You Yang heard this, her eyes widened. Is this something she can listen to?
The man's voice sounded unfamiliar, she had probably never seen him before. Was it a stranger who broke into the house?
After discovering such a shocking secret, You Yang forced himself to suppress the upturned corners of his mouth, and the expression on his face became interesting.
She held her chin and thought meaningfully.
Hey~ Why is there a green mark on that cheap dad’s head?
Suddenly, Youyang had a new idea.
She suddenly didn't want Liu Mei to die so easily.
You Yang left gracefully and returned to her main house. She changed into her newly bought light purple wide-sleeved nightgown and lay on her back, ready to sleep.
Just as she closed her eyes, she heard the sound of tiles colliding outside the house, and then she heard someone moving quickly on her roof using light skills.
You Yang turned over and got off the bed, put on the white silk coat hanging on the shelf, waved her sleeves, pushed open the door, jumped into the yard, looked up, and soon she caught sight of the figure in night clothes.
You Yang jumped onto the roof by stepping on the stone table beside him, and followed closely all the way while making sure that he would not be discovered.
She wanted to see who had the guts to come to her house.
Finally, the man in black was seen entering Song Yunlan's house.
Could it be that this man was sent by Song Yunlan to kill him? Thinking of this, You Yang touched the short knife on the right side of his waist and felt a little relieved.
If a fight starts soon, I will still have the strength to fight back.
Under the moonlight, You Yang stood on the edge of the roof in a fluttering purple dress. She lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, then decided to jump down.
She is the best at eavesdropping.
She poked a hole in the window paper and looked inside through the small hole.
The man in black half-knelt on the ground with his fists clasped, and saluted Song Yunlan who was sitting on the edge of the bed.
Judging from his respectful appearance and impressive martial arts skills, this must be Nan Qi, the most capable guard beside Song Yunlan.
Nan Qi raised her head and carefully observed Song Yunlan's condition. "Is the master injured?"
"When I heard that Madam Liu was going to punish Miss You, I took the initiative to risk being discovered and sent my own men in to pretend to be the executioners. I didn't have time to report this to the master. I hope the master will forgive me."
"Nothing." Song Yunlan raised his hand to let him stand up. "You have arranged everything, so naturally nothing will happen to me. Have you dealt with the people?"
"Yes, the servants who were replaced have been dealt with by our people, and their wounds have been healed. No one will notice."
arrange?
Thinking of this, You Yang couldn't help but sneer. She looked down at her right hand, which was hidden in her sleeve and was beaten to a pulp by a stick, and sneered.
She tried her best to save him, and was dragged out like a dog. She risked being discovered and broke the old woman's arm. Her knees were rubbed raw, and the dress her mother made for her was damaged. Her right hand was hit with a stick and became numb.
She did so much, but in the end everything she did was unnecessary. How ridiculous.
You Yang suddenly felt a little glad that she followed along, otherwise she might never know that the truth of the matter was so ridiculous.
The guilt and fear she felt for causing his injury seemed to turn into invisible slaps in her face.
You Yang recalled the drop of blood that dripped from his bitten lip during the torture, which made her feel that she was really naive.
She had been in the cruel world of cultivation for so long, and no cultivator had ever deceived her, but here she was deceived by a mortal.
She stormed off in anger.
The two people in the room had no idea when the person outside the window came and went.
Song Yunlan asked him, "Nanqi, what happened to the missing military rations I asked you to investigate?"
"Those embezzled military rations cannot just disappear into thin air."
"I am incompetent. I have not found out the whereabouts of that batch of military rations." Nan Qi knelt on his knees and apologized to him.
Song Yunlan knew that this matter was not that simple. If Nan Qi could find out so easily, he would doubt whether the news was true.
"So what did you find out?"
Nan Qi replied, "But I have found out that the transport envoy appointed by the steward to be in charge of the transportation of military rations is Wei Lian, a scholar from the Hanlin Academy."
"Wei Lian?"
Song Yunlan recalled in his mind.
"I have never seen him in the food transport team."
Generally, the military transport envoy must be in charge personally. He would arrive at the border army together with the military rations to confirm the handover before returning to the capital to report on his work. If he was appointed by the emperor, why was he not in the escort team?
He had some impression of Wei Lian.
Although this man was born in poverty, he has superb talent and strategy, and is a rare talent in our dynasty. He passed the imperial examination and was chosen by the housekeeper as the third place in the imperial examination. Now, as time goes by, he has been admitted to the Hanlin Academy.
Song Yunlan's eyebrows knitted together, "There must be something fishy going on here. Go check what kind of person Wei Lian is now and who he's closely associated with."
Nan Qi bowed solemnly and said, "Yes."
"By the way, Master, I have one more thing to ask."
Song Yunlan glanced sideways and said, "Speak."
Nan Qi: "When does the master plan to leave the You family and return to the palace?"
"In order to find you, the emperor not only sent the Palace Guards and the Minister of the Underworld to investigate, but even His Majesty the Xuanwang was dragged along to search for you."
"Third brother?" Song Yunlan was a little surprised. His third brother was the one who least liked to get involved in the affairs of the court and loved to hang out in brothels all day long. It was really unfair for him to be dragged in because of him.
Seeing Song Yunlan remained silent, Nan Qi continued to persuade him, "Except for a few people involved, no one knows about the embezzlement of military rations at the border. You risked your life returning to report this case to the authorities in person."
"I'm worried that if you don't show up, this matter will be completely buried."
"I understand." Song Yunlan stood up and slowly walked past Nan Qi, with a depressed look on his face, and no one knew what he was thinking.
After a few breaths, he sighed deeply, "Come and pick me up tomorrow night. I was seriously injured and walked back to the capital alone. Remember?"
Nan Qi: "I understand."
"Go down and make arrangements."
