After Junior Brother A Zhai goes down the mountain

The wind picked up again.

Lin Yingshi was silent for a while, then said softly, "I've made a note, thank you, Mr. Zhong."

He thought for a while and said, "Sir, does Mr. Gao know about Mr. Wei and Brother Yang going to Feiniaoya today?"

Zhong Nianying smiled: "Didn't you find out that the Feiniaoya that Mr. Wei brought today are all his cronies? And those craftsmen are all official craftsmen who are tight-lipped."

The young man muttered: "It's my first day in Fuyun City... how would I know."

Zhong Nianying smiled: "Then you know now."

Under the starry sky, in front of the Cloud Covering Mountain, the cold wind blew their hair.

With the help of the faint light, Lin Yingshi quietly looked at Mr. Zhong beside him.

Even though it was the first day we met, I seemed to have endless words to talk to him. Even if it was a cold conversation, I still wanted to find some insignificant topics to arouse the other party's attention.The last person like this was a senior brother.

The boy was a little flustered, so he restrained his thoughts abruptly, and turned his gaze to the dim lights in the distance.

Zhong Nianying suddenly asked, "Is it cold?"

In the palace on the top of the clouds, the seasons are like spring and the flowers are blooming like brocade.However, apart from the palace complex, the place where they usually stay is full of ice and snow, bitingly bitter.Year-round habits and exercises made Lin Yingshi indifferent to the temperature at the foot of the mountain.

He shook his head, and was about to answer "not cold", when he saw a figure sneaking out from the backyard of Xueyuan.

——It’s Gao Orion.

He was hiding in the faint candlelight from the Snow Courtyard, the black robe had been replaced, and now he was wearing a bunt night suit.The wind blew over, and the shadow where he was hiding shook for a while, and in an instant, Gao Da jumped out.

That is the direction of Master Wang.

The young man secretly called out: "Sir!"

In a flash of thought, the two jumped up and chased after the man together.

Gao Da came to the closed door of Wang's house.

This place has been opened by the government during the day, and although the door is sealed, the strong smell of blood still exists.

He cursed secretly, carefully took out some tools from his pocket, shoveled off half of the seal, glanced furtively around, and stepped into the small courtyard that was originally bloodbathed.

He closed the door quietly, his well-trained hand closing the door as lightly as a feather in water.It was clear tonight, and the wind was a bit strong. Although it was not a good day to deal with the scene, the superiors were pressing hard, and he also fell down because he used a spell without authorization, and he would leave here in a few days.

While groping into the main room, he recalled the eunuch's questioning in the afternoon, and after confirming that there were no omissions, he searched with peace of mind.

Nothing here, nothing over there.

He looked at the blood on the ground, sneered a few times, muttered "a terrible death", jumped in the main hall, held the beam, and bit the long hook with force with his arms, trying to hook out the thing hidden inside ——

Empty.

His face changed.So he tried his best to hook it a few more times, but without exception, there was nothing there, only a lot of dust was drawn out, which made him sneezed several times.

With a gray expression on his face, Gao Da took out a short-lived whistle from his sleeve and blew it.The sound is like the wind, if you don't listen carefully, it will be mixed with the sound of the wind.

Among the leaves, Zhong Nianying said softly, "Magic Whistle."

Lin Yingshi raised her head suspiciously, blinked at him, and was pressed back to her chest by warm hands.

The boy curled his lips and continued to stare at the courtyard.

A dove flew from the night sky.Lin Yingshi compared it, and that direction was the prefect's mansion.

The boy frowned.

In the courtyard, Gao Da bit his finger, wrote a few words tremblingly, then stuffed the pigeon into the bamboo tube and let the pigeon fly, then ran towards his home without looking back.

Lin Yingshi scratched the back of Zhong Nianying's hand.The man took out a nocturnal cloak and put it on him like a conjurer. The young man bent his eyes and lightly chased after the high-flying pigeon. He nimbly pinched the pigeon's beak and grabbed its wings, quietly. fell back into the trees.

Zhong Nianying took the bamboo tube: "The spell is discovered, leave quickly."

Lin Yingshi asked doubtfully, "Is there any other accomplices?"

Zhong Nianying gently grasped it, and the strip of cloth turned into powder.He took out a similar strip of cloth again, quickly wrote "nothing happened, ready to evacuate", and very delicately painted a blood-colored epiphyllum on the back of the cloth strip, which was the same as the pattern on the back of the broken cloth strip.

Lin Yingshi's eyes widened in admiration: "Wow."

Zhong Nianying chuckled, her hoarse voice sounded extra gentle in the dark night: "What? Want to learn?"

The young chick nodded as if pecking at rice.

The man smiled again: "I'll teach you when I go to Jiangnan. There are no tools here."

The two released the pigeons again.The chubby bird staggered and flew in the air for a while, then flew towards the government.

Lin Yingshi unconsciously twirled her fingers.He blinked, pointed his finger at the moonlight that just came out, and squinted for a while: "White...flour?"

flour?

The man frowned, and said softly: "Xiao Lin, I'll go after Gao Da, you're good at lightness, go follow that pigeon."

He said meaningfully: "Next to the government... I have a guess."

The two parted ways.

The pigeon looks chubby, but it flies very fast.It was also thanks to Lin Yingshi's excellent lightness skills, and the use of the night and cloak to block his tracks, so he followed not far or near.

Prefect's House.

Yang Wenzhi was sitting alone in the small courtyard, neither sitting nor standing, thinking about Lin Yingshi who followed Zhong Nianying to investigate.

He sighed and sighed for a while, followed by his maid and smiled, "Why is the eldest son sighing so much? You come back with Mr. Wei during the day, why do you keep doing this? There is no curfew in Fuyun City, why don't you go out to play?"

Eldest Young Master Yang of her family complained, "Your Eldest Young Master, I am not in the mood at all right now."

He opened the jade bone fan with a click, and continued to sigh: "Cuizhu, look at your eldest son, can I still be considered good-looking?"

Cuizhu suppressed a smile: "My lord, with your looks, if you dare to be called the second, no one will dare to be the first."

Yang Wenzhi said angrily, "Nonsense, Brother Lin is the number one."

Cuizhu hurriedly coaxed her family's affection, and it was not the first time that Dou was the eldest son: "Okay, okay, young master Lin is number one, number one."

Only then did Yang Wenzhi feel happy.He drank a glass of Sherry Merwood, and continued to stare sadly at the swing in the corner: "Sigh...Although I'm relieved to leave this matter to Mr. Zhong, but...sigh."

The green bamboo was served by him while he was urinating. Seeing this, he comforted him, "Eldest Master, Young Master Lin and Mr. Zhong are both from the rivers and lakes, so naturally we can chat together..."

Yang Wenzhi raised his head to look at him sadly, his handsome face was full of sadness, and Cuizhu's heart was also tugged at the sight.

"...But! Cuizhu is here to speak to the eldest son, the eldest son must have a much better chance of winning than Mr. Zhong!" Cuizhu coaxed, and it was very difficult for the eldest son to feel at ease. A little bit.

Cuizhu was thinking about how to make her young master feel more at ease when there was a knock on the door.

"Smell it!"

Yang Wenzhi stood up and opened the door: "Hongyuan? What happened?"

Wei Hongyuan shook his head: "It's nothing, I just asked if Mr. Zhong and Brother Lin are back."

The two sat down at the stone table.

"Although Gao Da's knife was found in the cloth bag, in order not to startle the snake, I asked the hunter who was close to Gao Da on weekdays." Wei Hongyuan took a sip of tea, "Guess what? Those hunters said that this The knife is indeed tall, but this knife was lost a few days ago."

"A few of them went up the mountain to hunt together. Gao Da threw his knife out to cut the prey, but accidentally dropped it off the cliff."

Yang Wenzhi frowned: "Then if someone picks it up... that means anyone can get this knife?"

Wei Hongyuan sighed: "Exactly. And according to my father, when Gao Da was called in for questioning, he looked exactly like he just learned about it today. I went to ask the locksmith this afternoon because of the animal-proof lock."

Yang Wenzhi shook his head: "That's right, how did the perpetrator get out... Could it be that he assigned the key himself?"

Wei Hongyuan pointed to the tabletop: "It is indeed possible...the locksmith said that Wang Da came to him to change the key a month ago."

Yang Wenzhi nodded: "Human skin mask."

Wei Hongyuan nodded: "Yes."

Young Master Yang sighed: "With this human skin mask... can anyone impersonate?"

Wei Hongyuan shook his head: "Not necessarily. I once talked with a quack artist, and they said that even the best craftsmen would find it difficult to make a human skin mask. It would take several years to make a three-point portrait. There is no way to flood it."

Yang Wenzhi tapped his palm: "It seems... this Demon Cult really has a deep foundation."

Wei Hongyuan sighed for a long time. Just as he was about to answer, he heard his subordinates rushing over in a panic: "Young Master, Young Master! Young Master Lin is back!"

Yang Wenzhi stood up abruptly, and was about to stride out when he was nailed in place by the words of Wei Hongyuan's subordinate——

"Young Master Lin turned around to Aunt Hu who was setting up a wonton stall outside the door, and she is tying her up!"

Yang Wenzhi suddenly opened his eyes wide, looking a bit confused.

......

Lin Yingshi chased the pigeon, and followed it to leap over the roof of the prefect's mansion.

The boy walked on the tiles without making a sound.He bowed his waist, jumped lightly, and stopped on a big tree by the wall along with the wind.

The prefect's mansion was built in the neighborhood. It was originally the mansion of a big merchant in the previous dynasty. After years of wars, the big merchant fled to the middle of the country. The new prefect took this place as the official residence.It can not only save the cost of building a house, but also facilitate the patrols in Lifang City on weekdays.

Lin Yingshi's body was soft, and she shrank herself as much as possible in the shadow of the leaves, quietly watching the pigeon flying in the shadow not far away.

The devil's teaching is good at training pigeons.he thinks.When it is wiped out and one is caught, ask how it was taught.Those fat birds in my family who can understand human language are not willing to send letters, and they have to bribe people with food for a long time to send a message, which is worrying.

The chubby pigeon stopped in the small farm yard separated by a wall, jumped a few times, waited for the patrol team passing by the wall, and then cooed softly.

Squeak.The door opened.
