When Shi Yu woke up, he didn't hear any other breathing sound in the room.

I lit the oil lamp, and found that not only He Weiyou's bed was empty, but even the waiter who was tied up in the corner by straw last night was gone.

This time, it was not the pickpocket from yesterday who came to deliver the hot water, but another errand boy whom he didn't know.He asked a question when he opened the door, only to realize that it was past noon.

In other words, he fell asleep for almost twelve hours.

This is the time when the most people are in the vestibule.The servant still had work to do, so he went to the back hall with his shoulder pole, and ran back and forth between the tables, seats and the utility room of the guest room, so busy that he never touched the ground.

Shi Yu left the cellar and walked up to the first floor. Considering the experience of being chased by the guards in the palace last night, she still put on the hood.As a result, just when he stopped in front of the counter, he saw the shopkeeper in front of him jumping up from his chair.

He looked at each other: "Mr. Shopkeeper."

The shopkeeper looked at him blocking the exit of the counter, sweating coldly: "Don't come over!"

Shi Yu: "?"

The shopkeeper realized that he was overreacting, tried to slow down his voice, and asked, "Did you sleep well last night?"

"It's okay." Shi Yu said, "The waiter who led the way yesterday..."

"I have removed him." The shopkeeper said seamlessly, "He has done something wrong, so he will naturally have to pay the price. In order to compensate you for the loss, three meals and hot water will be provided free of charge for the few days you stay in the store. How do you think this is handled?"

Shi Yu blinked her eyes: "He Weiyou..."

"He said early this morning that he had something to go out, let me remember to let you know." The shopkeeper answered the words until his tongue was almost tied, and he still smiled at the end, "He said he would be back at noon."

Shi Yu: "Oh."

The shopkeeper then asked: "There are still vacant tables on the second floor, do you want to come over to eat now?"

"Ah."

The shopkeeper turned his head and shouted: "Tie Zhu! Come and lead this guest officer to the second floor!"



When He Weiyou returned to the inn, what he saw was this scene: "The shopkeeper asked if you want lamp oil?"

Shi Yu sat by the window: "No."

He Weiyou stuffed a steamed bun into his mouth, scooped up the mutton soup all night, drank a mouthful of the soup and took a bite of the steamed bun, said vaguely, "That's fine."

Shi Yu put down his chopsticks: "Did you do anything to the shopkeeper?"

He Weiyou took another sip of soup and took a bite of steamed buns: "What can I do? I didn't do anything."

Shi Yu was silent.

"Don't believe me." He Weiyou swallowed his mouth, "Didn't the waiter sneak into our room last night to steal lamp oil? I don't believe this is the first time it happened. There was a pickpocket in my shop How could he, as the boss, not know? He still wanted to settle accounts with him, so he got up early today and went to the front desk to look for him. "

Shi Yu was listening quietly, but the narration was interrupted at the most critical moment. After waiting for a long time, he saw that the other party finished half a plate of beef, half a plate of chicken, and half a plate of tofu with chopsticks. A wishful flower roll, just now he continued: "At that time, he was already sitting at the front desk."

"..."

He Weiyou gnawed another flower roll: "Then he stuck it on the wall."

"..."

Anyone who changed his temper and was a little anxious could slap He Wei on the wall on the spot when he heard this.

Shi Yu thought for a long time but couldn't understand the causal connection before and after his two sentences: "Why did he hit the wall?"

He Weiyou Gululu raised his head and poured down a bowl of mutton soup, thought about his words, and changed his words: "Didn't a Chongming bird come to our room last night?"

Shi Yu nodded.

He Weiyou said: "Blood from that bird dripped on my face."

Shi Yu probably guessed what the ending would be.

"At that time, I didn't dare to move in the middle of the night. Later, I was so busy dealing with the thief that I forgot about it, so when the shopkeeper saw it, my face was covered in blood."

To say it was all blood was an understatement.

At that time, the shopkeeper was still not clear-headed early in the morning, and he was trying to deal with yesterday's income, but the sound of knocking on the table brought him back to reality, and the only lighted oil lamp was blown away by the wind. Exhausted, swaying upside down like a dark ghost, the waiter, who was tied up half dead, rolled under his eyelids like a lifeless corpse. When he looked up, he saw a ferocious face dripping with blood, and his bloody fingernails had already touched him. neck.

The shopkeeper felt as if his bones had been knocked out on the spot, and when he fell, his head hit the wall with staring eyes.

He Weiyou omitted the following process, and directly stated the result: "Then he said that the shop waiter's matter was because of his bad discipline, and he wanted to waive the bill for us."

Shi Yu was a little puzzled: "The shopkeeper has received so many people, but he is still so timid?"

He Weiyou threw a tiger-skin peanut into his mouth: "Maybe he was born with the guts of a mouse."

【Grass. 】

[The shopkeeper:? 】

[If I didn't happen to witness the whole process, I would really believe your evil. 】

【He Dazui, it's you. 】

He Weiyou did not continue this topic, and continued: "The assassin's arrest warrant has been posted at the gate of the capital. I sneaked over to take a look, and the portrait was obviously drawn according to the characteristics of me and you. Although it is not as good as the photo Realistic, but if you really want to hold a comparison, you will definitely be recognized."

Shi Yu held the teacup and looked at the tea leaves inside.

He Weiyou said: "Now I finally understand why the assassins in those costume dramas always wear black and have to mask their faces—because they can't see their faces. As long as they escape and take off their masks, who will recognize them? Now The officers and soldiers outside took the portraits of the two of us and searched for people all over the street. Every household even dogs were put up for comparison. I thought the cellar environment was too bad last night. Now that I think about it, it’s a good thing. As long as the shopkeeper doesn’t Take the initiative to say, who can guess where we are hiding? The shopkeeper said in the morning that he would change rooms for us, but I refused..."

There was a sudden noise outside the window.

He Wei had a peanut stuck in his throat and coughed for a long time before he could get it out.

A group of officers and soldiers broke into this street and shouted loudly: "The court is in charge of business, all shops are now closed immediately, and no one is allowed to enter or leave from now on, and all violators will be arrested!"



Shi Yu sat on the straw bed and watched He Weiyou appear in an underground fashion show: "What are you doing?"

"Change clothes."

According to He Weiyou, those officers and soldiers are not blind. Since they have made up their minds to search for people all over the capital, the teams that come out to search for people will at least bring along witnesses who saw their faces last night. It is too passive to hide to avoid danger, and it is too unreliable to expect the shopkeeper not to shake them out. It is better to solve the problem fundamentally.

Shi Yu looked at his red and green suit.

"You don't understand." He Weiyou has his own reasoning, "Without disguise props, no amount of makeup on my face can change my facial features. But when I was seen by those guards last night, I was wearing a chicken farmer's outfit." The sackcloth clothes, that gave them an initial impression and gave them an unpretentious label on me. To escape their suspicion, I had to fundamentally make their impression of me when they saw each other different from their initial impression , the more gorgeously they dress up, the less subconsciously they will connect the me now with the me last night, and it will be much easier to manipulate the face."

Shi Yu stopped weaving straw, thought for a while, but didn't realize that there was something wrong with this logic, so he nodded and continued weaving straw.

He Wei didn't know what he did for one morning. Not only did he get a full set of clothes, but he also took out a whole box of rouge.He put on his boots, put on a wig, and dressed himself up like a swinger, before finally turning his head to look at Shi Yu.

The little scarecrow in Shi Yu's hand gradually took shape as he folded it. He inserted the end in the gap between the roots of the grass. When he raised his head, he saw the sad face on the other side's face: "What's wrong?"

"What are you going to do?"

"What do you mean?"

He Weiyou was worried: "What will you do if those officers and soldiers really find out here?"

Shi Yu pointed to the big red cloak, and repeated the theory he had just heard: "If they dress up completely differently from last night, they will not subconsciously connect the two people who are now with last night."

He Weiyou said, "You don't understand."

"..."

"My method only works for people whose clothes are more memorable than their faces." He Weiyou looked him up and down, "Your face is obviously more recognizable than your clothes."

Shi Yu felt that he had something to say.

"If you want to avoid the detection of those officers and soldiers by dressing up," He Weiyou suggested to him sincerely, "Can you accept women's clothing?"

【puff】

【Hahahahahaha! ! ! 】

[Teacher beauty: ...? ? ? ? ? ? 】

[Fucking mother was hunted down yesterday and is going to change sex today? ? ? 】

【You can only laugh, only I remember to light the candle for Brother He in advance (candle JPG.)】

【(Candle JPG.) (Candle JPG.) (Candle JPG.) (Candle JPG.)】

The air was quiet for half a minute.

He Weiyou said the death-saving line in time under the other party's eyes without the slightest warmth: "I'm joking."



First floor vestibule.

When the officers and soldiers rushed in with the portraits, everyone at the table stood up as required and waited for one-on-one verification.

The leading official came to the front desk with the portrait: "Have you seen these two people in the painting?"

The shopkeeper was stunned when he first saw the portrait.

Like a revolving lantern in my mind, the man in green robe this morning threw the heavily tied waiter in front of him, shook his hands like shaking off something dirty, looked at him condescendingly like a crawling dog: "Do you know him?"

He opened his mouth.

The other party's blood-stained hand was pressing on his carotid artery: "The shopkeeper, the people in his own store, who he ordered to guide others, probably don't know him."

His throat rolled: "What do you want?"

"What are you talking about from the shopkeeper?" The other party sat up on the counter with one hand, but the hand that was breathing against him remained motionless, "Did I ask you what you want?"

The shopkeeper didn't dare to retreat, he couldn't see the condition of his neck, but he could feel the icy coldness on his skin very clearly, and the chill could penetrate all the way to the soles of his feet along his bones and blood: "My lord..."

He surrendered and took the lead to show weakness: "I am the one who is incapable of discipline and ignorant of people. I will punish him, and I will make him pay the price and expel him forever... What do you think?"

"What are you talking about from the shopkeeper?" The other party crossed his legs and tapped his shoulder with the other hand, step by step, speeding up a little bit to match the rhythm of the beating blood, "Did I ask you what you want? "

The shopkeeper heard his heart beating like a drum, and his drooping fingers were trembling. He tried to think about the words: "To make up for it, you two will be free of food and lodging during this period..."

In the middle of speaking, the other party's hand moved to his jaw.

The shopkeeper's voice was hoarse, and he could clearly feel the sweat dripping from his back following the other's movement.

This is not a negotiation. The most basic point of negotiation is that both parties are equal.

This is a threat.

The eyes of the other party gradually darkened, the fangs of the ferocious beast scratched the fragile carotid artery, the world in front of the shopkeeper suddenly turned upside down when the coldness tore apart at that moment, the chaotic dizziness and tsunami, but the coldness of the people around his ears With a ghostly voice, whispering softly: "Did I ask you what you want?"

"No..." the shopkeeper heard himself trembling, "I want to make up for it." When he knelt down, there was a loud bang on his knees, and he rummaged through the cabinet. Shi Shi's hand was shaking so much that he could hardly hold it, "Please forgive me..."

The other party sat on the counter and stared at him quietly, but after a while he suddenly smiled, as if he had discovered the truth that had been accidentally leaked out, and put on his mask again after restraining himself: "What are you talking about from the shopkeeper?"

The shopkeeper suddenly dodged the other party's outstretched hand, his pupils trembled, and he quickly lowered his head.

The other party helped him up, took the white porcelain bottle, and said sincerely and innocently: "Of course I know you must be sensible, but I just want to remind you that if the dog at home is not well trained, it is better not to let it out, otherwise it will be embarrassing in the end." It’s still the shopkeeper.”

The manager nodded repeatedly.

The other party's hand on his arm didn't let go, and he smiled and said: "The embarrassment is only secondary. If you bite someone, if it's just me, if it's my elder brother, he has a worse temper than me." , I am thinking of you."

The shopkeeper almost had the illusion that his shoulder blades would be broken under the opponent's hands, so he pursed his lips tightly and did not dare to let out a sound.

The other party turned and left, stepped on the unconscious waiter on the ground, and suddenly remembered something, turned his head and said lightly: "We don't want anyone to disturb us during the stay, the manager should know what to do, right?"

Don't want anyone to bother.

anyone.

At that time, the manager just nodded and didn't have time to think about it. Only now did he understand what the other party meant by this sentence.

It is impossible for the emperor to care about the life of an ordinary person. He only wants to catch the assassin, let alone scare the snake.But as long as he didn't catch the criminal in the first place, he had no doubt that the criminal would drag him to hell with him amidst the rage.The crime of deceiving the king is a matter of life and death, his back was drenched in cold sweat almost instantly, and he bit his lip for the first time so as not to tremble on the spot.

The time for thinking was very short. The officers and soldiers holding the portrait looked at Ling Ran, and asked again: "Have you seen the person in the painting? If you have seen it, you have seen it, if you have seen it, if you have seen it, if you have seen it, if you have seen it, you have not seen it. It takes so long to think about it?"

"I, I want to think about it... I should..." The manager hadn't figured out how to answer in his mind, but at this moment, there was a long howl from outside.

Everyone saw the monstrous flames that suddenly lit up in the distance, instantly reflecting the entire sky like daytime.

The crowd was in an uproar, and the officers and soldiers didn't bother to ask questions at this moment. The leader turned around and walked out of the encirclement, looking up at the direction of the light source.

Shi Yu stood at the exit of the cellar and saw the overwhelming shadows in the firelight at that moment.
