Chapter 200: Night Visit to Qi Mansion
The night is dark and silent.
The Mansion of Duke of Qi.
Su Yuan, dressed in black, was lying on the eaves of the main courtyard. She closed her eyes and recalled the map of Qi Mansion in her mind, after confirming the study and the courtyard of the Duke of Qi.
Su Yuan raised his eyes and looked towards the study.
The lights went out and it was pitch black.
very good!
That means there is no one there, and it is convenient for her to go in and search for evidence.
Thinking of this, Su Yuan moved slightly and suddenly appeared at the door of the study the next second.
She looked around to make sure there was no one around, took out a copper wire with a curved hook on the end, inserted it into the lock, opened the door with a "click", and quickly got in.
Su Yuan entered the study and took out a small night-shining pearl that could only illuminate a small area. He walked slowly to the desk, opened the drawer and began to search.
A quarter of an hour later.
She came to the conclusion:
Desk, no.
Bookshelf, no.
Secret compartment, no.
Not only that, she also reached into the study and touched the vases as ornaments, but without exception, she did not find the evidence she wanted.
Su Yuan raised his head and let out a long sigh.
She searched the entire study.
Since there is no...
Could it be that the Duke of Qi hid the evidence related to the gambling house in his bedroom?
Su Yuan slowly lowered her head and prepared to leave the study. The sooner she found the evidence, the easier it would be for her to go back to bed.
Unexpectedly, when Su Yuan had just raised her head halfway, the lantern hanging on the beam suddenly caught her attention.
She narrowed her eyes slightly and immediately realized that something was wrong.
The study is an important place.
According to the Duke of Qi's family, even if they didn't use night-shining pearls, they would have used glass lamps for lighting. But why did they hang such an abrupt lantern for no reason? Didn't they know that it might cause a fire?
Thinking of this, Su Yuan's eyes flickered.
She lightly stepped onto the desk and used the momentum to soar into the air. She stretched out her long arms to take the hook of the lantern from the beam and landed steadily on the ground.
Su Yuan weighed the lantern which was heavier than himself, raised his brows, squatted down, reached out and took out a blue cover book.
She held the night pearl close to illuminate the words on the cover.
——Fenglai Casino is profitable.
These large gold-painted characters immediately caught Su Yuan's eyes. She placed the account book on her slightly bent knees, slowly opened it, and quickly read it from beginning to end.
After reading it, Su Yuan shook his head.
It's not entirely true to say that this thing is a gambling house account book.
It records from beginning to end the official positions and income of students who bought and sold official positions in underground places. Most of the names were circled in cinnabar red pen, some were erased or marked with a red cross.
According to Su Yuan's understanding of the court, those who were circled were probably the Duke of Qi's own people, and those who were eliminated were probably losing their official positions.
And those with a cross, tsk tsk.
They should all submit to Emperor Fengwu!
The Duke of Qi did it herself. She copied the entire book of stolen evidence by herself. With this record of "Fenglai Casino's Profits" and the witnesses and evidence found by Su Yuan, the conviction is almost certain.
Besides, she hasn't forgotten Lu Shengling, the magical man who opened up a tunnel.
The combined evidence of the two was simply perfect.
The Duke of Qi will definitely be pinned to the ground.
Su Yuan snorted softly.
She waved her hand and put the things into the space, then casually stuffed a history book into the lantern and hung it up.
Finish everything.
Su Yuan walked back to the desk, took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and began to wipe it slowly.
Still need to pay attention to details!
Otherwise, if you try your best in everything, wouldn't you end up losing everything because of this handful of dust?
Su Yuan wiped the desk clean, looked around the study carefully, and nodded with satisfaction.
Good, time to go back to sleep.
She walked out of the study with light steps, put the copper lock through the iron buckle, and locked it with a "click", returning it to its original state.
Then he turned around, intending to use teleportation to leave the Duke of Qi's mansion in the direction he came from. Unexpectedly, he saw someone holding a torch and hurriedly passed by. He also vaguely heard a servant shouting:
"The old man is seriously ill, please go out and ask for a doctor."
Hearing this, Su Yuan frowned slightly.
She had no choice but to change the direction and leave the mansion. Her feet moved to the outer wall of the Duke's Mansion with a "swoosh", because this wall was the junction of Lu Mansion and Qi Duke's Mansion.
She turned around and planned to go over the high wall to the Duke's mansion, then go around the back street and return to the Su Mansion.
But man proposes, God disposes.
As soon as the soles of Su Yuan's feet touched the wall, she felt a sharp object piercing through the sole of her shoe and sinking into her flesh.
All of a sudden, a piercing pain came from the soles of his feet, causing Su Yuan's body to tilt and fall straight to the other side of the wall.
The wind whistled in her ears, and a rapid feeling of weightlessness spread throughout Su Yuan's body. Fortunately, she had just stepped on the wall with one foot, and the other foot was fine.
Su Yuan quickly flipped over in mid-air, turned his body in another direction, and stepped firmly on the ground with his intact foot.
After standing firmly, Su Yuan took a deep breath, squatted down and planned to give his foot some simple treatment.
Unexpectedly, when she bent down, she saw something in front of her eyes and stopped abruptly.
Just see.
In the hot spring pool about ten meters away from Su Yuan, a man draped in snow-white gauze gradually emerged from the misty water.
His black hair cascaded down, his face was flawless as jade, his lips were thin and as pale as water, especially the cinnabar mole between his eyebrows. With a light veil covering his body and white mist floating around him, he looked as handsome as an immortal who had been banished to the mortal world.
It only took a moment to watch this scene.
Su Yuan has not yet forgotten why he came here tonight.
The amazement in her eyes quickly faded, and she immediately straightened her slightly bent body and tiptoed to leave, but was stopped by a hoarse male voice behind her, calling out by name:
"Su Yuan."
Hear the sound.
Su Yuan's eyebrows twitched slightly, his eyes staring at the wall covered with moss, and asked in a puzzled tone:
"General Lu...?"
Lu Shengling had been wearing a golden mask on his face for eight years since he entered the court, and no one in the court knew what he looked like.
Even people in Fengqi spread the rumor that his face was disfigured and he was the ugliest man in Fengqi country.
Su Yuan had never talked about it, but he had never seen his true face, unless he had heard the man's familiar and unique voice.
She really couldn't recognize it.
opposite.
Lu Shengling's gaze lingered on Su Yuan's right foot for a moment, and he said "hmm" lightly.
He slowly walked from the hot spring pool to the stage, casually picked up a robe and put it on, reminding:
"I am dressed now. Lord Su, please turn around."
Su Yuan pursed her lips, turned around, bowed to Lu Shengling, and apologized in a low voice:
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean it."
"No problem."
Lu Shengling walked back to the hot spring pool and picked up the lamp on the ground. He pointed to the pavilion in front of him and said softly:
"Master Su, your foot is injured. Go to the pavilion and bandage it."
After saying this, he raised his head and glanced at the barbs standing on the high wall, and sighed:
"It's my fault, Lord Su was stabbed by the long spikes that I ordered people to embed on the wall, so I should be responsible for your injury."
