Six hundred and ninetieth chapters have eyes but no beads
Rong Mian winked at Ming Mo and said suggestively.
Their voices were not quiet. Gu Chengyu had previously thought that this person would do things first and was very smart.
He even came to him in the name of delivering midnight snacks, although it was probably to please him and get the antidote.
And Rong Mian's words just now made Gu Chengyu look at him with admiration. This reminded them that Yi Lanwen was not so obedient and might have other plans.
Otherwise, Yi Lanwen wouldn't have had to send people to guard the ancestral hall. Maybe it was to seize the hands of the people he sent so that he could claim credit in front of Yi Lanshan.
"Oh! Thank you for the reminder, little brother. Since it's not peaceful tonight, you should avoid walking around the house."
Mingmo took out two taels of silver from his sleeve and put it on Rong Mian's tray, then closed the door again.
When Ming Mo turned around, he found Lu Chen standing behind him, looking at the closed door.
There was a sudden thought in his heart, and he thought Lu Chen had discovered something.
Ming Mo turned his attention to his master. Gu Chengyu smiled and did not give Ming Mo any hint, which made Ming Mo secretly relieved.
Lu Chen just listened to the conversation between the two and saw Ming Mo handing the boy two taels of silver, and then he was able to dispel his doubts.
Rong Mian took the tray and left with a sad face.
"With such a huge commotion in the Yi Mansion, it would be inappropriate for us to huddle in the room. It would make people suspicious, so it would be better to go out and ask questions."
Gu Chengyu thought for a moment and realized that Magistrate Liao didn't know what it meant. He had to go out for a meeting.
Especially that Qu Huaiwen, who still has half of the treasure map in his hand. He has to think of ways to establish a relationship with the Qu Mansion.
"Master Lu, does he know who has the treasure map that was originally in the Yi Mansion? We can't come to the Yi Mansion in vain this time. We still have to find a way to track down the treasure map!"
Gu Chengyu adjusted his clothes and looked at Lu Chen's calm eyes.
Lu Chen felt that Gu Chengyu seemed a little more unfamiliar at this moment than before. Could it be that Gu Chengyu had seen through his lie?
"I didn't know that many people came tonight, all of them masked men in black. How do I know which group of people succeeded?"
Lu Chen sighed helplessly and frowned, as if he was having a headache over this matter.
Gu Chengyu touched his nose. Lu Chen really regarded others as fools.
However, Lu Chen was determined that there was nothing he could do against him. In Lu Chen's eyes, he was just a weak scholar with no power. Ming Mo and the others couldn't do anything to him with their skills, so naturally they would not take him seriously.
inside.
Besides, I have no evidence, so how can I identify Lu Chen as the one who stole the treasure map?
Gu Chengyu felt a little regretful. If he knew where Qu had hidden the treasure map, why would he need to work hard like this?
Go directly and steal the treasure map, return to Beijing early to settle this matter. You can also get promoted early and live a happy life.
Gu Chengyu thought for a while, since he didn't know, he could only go deep into the tiger's den.
"Let's go! Let's go see Chief Yi. The Yi Mansion was flooded tonight and was attacked at night. It seems that the loss is not small. No matter what, we need to comfort him, right?"
Gu Chengyu took the lead and didn't ask Lu Chen if he was going.
As long as Lu Chen is not a fool, he will definitely follow behind. Now is a good time to prove that he has nothing to do with this matter!
Gu Chengyu walked unimpeded all the way to the outside of the inner study room. On the way, he found that many guards had been added to the Yi Mansion, and the clothes of those guards were different from those in the Yi Mansion.
These people should have been sent by Qu Mansion. Unexpectedly, Wu Mansion and Magistrate Liao have formed an alliance. Could it be that Magistrate Liao has joined Xia Qing's family?
"Stop, who is that person in front?"
At this moment, the Yi Mansion was in chaos, and it was the guards of the Qu Mansion who called to Gu Chengyu and the others.
Gu Chengyu turned around and looked at the person calling with a frown.
"Blinding your dog eyes, this is Mr. Gu, the imperial envoy sent by the emperor! Who are you? How dare you speak rudely to your Majesty?"
Ming Yan took a step forward and scolded several people.
Naturally, these people heard that there was an imperial envoy sent by the imperial court living in Yi Mansion, but the imperial envoy sent by the emperor was so young?
It doesn't look real at first glance. Maybe it was the person who snatched the treasure map before. He changed his clothes and thought they wouldn't be able to tell?
When these people saw Ming Mo and the others holding daggers in their hands, they became more and more sure of their thoughts.
"Hmph! You said you are imperial envoys. Who are you fooling? Tell me, what are your intentions in pretending to be imperial envoys? Are you the thieves who robbed the Yi Mansion's treasures?"
One of them took a step forward, quickly pulled out the sword in his hand, pointed at Gu Chengyu and the others and said sarcastically.
Seeing this, several other people quickly drew their swords to help.
I thought that Gu Chengyu and the others would be frightened, or that they would fight back if they were thieves.
Unexpectedly, Gu Chengyu did not answer or take action, but looked behind those people.
"Clan Chief Qu is so majestic!" Gu Chengyu raised the corners of his lips with a hint of ridicule.
"Clan Leader Yi, I don't know that this good Yi Mansion has turned into a Qu Mansion. Could it be that my eyesight has become dim and I didn't see clearly when I came to visit that the plaque said whether it was the Yi Mansion or the Qu Mansion.
Where is the government?"
Gu Chengyu cast his gaze on Yi Lanshan, who was coming from the other side, and just said one sentence to Qu Huaiyun before ignoring him.
Yi Lanshan's face was ashen, and it was a shame for him, the Yi family, to be invaded by the Qu family.
He was already furious, but now Gu Chengyu was rubbing salt into his wounds, making him even more angry.
"Is this Mr. Gu sent by the imperial court? I didn't know that Mr. Gu is actually a guest in the Yi Mansion today. It's really outrageous!"
Qu Huaiwen was in a good mood at the moment. Although he hadn't obtained the treasure map yet, he felt indescribably happy when he saw that the Yi Mansion had become so chaotic.
"I have seen the imperial envoy! The guards at the residence are also looking for the people who are attacking the Yi residence tonight. They are afraid that someone will disguise themselves and try to get away with it. Besides, these are rough people and do not understand the rules. Please forgive me!"
Qu Huaiyun saluted Gu Chengyu, then turned around and scolded the guards: "Asshole! This is the imperial envoy appointed by the emperor. You are really blind, why don't you apologize to me?"
Qu Huaiyun shouted loudly, but Gu Chengyu didn't hear much blame in his tone, which was simply careless.
Gu Chengyu's heart sank, Yi Lanshan was a face-conscious person, so when Gu Chengyu dealt with him, as long as he was shameless, Yi Lanshan would be unable to do anything to him.
But this Qu Huaiyun looked like a rogue, maybe even thicker-skinned than himself, and probably more difficult to deal with than Yi Lanshan.
"Young men are ignorant of gold and jade, and mistook the adults for thieves. You really deserve death. Please forgive me for the sake of the fact that you are just rough people!"
