Chapter 224 Night Visit to Zhoufu

Look, who are you from? It was Ye Ziqi, the second young master of the Ye family who was kicked out of the house before.

"What, do you know?" Uncle Wang was a little surprised by the reaction of the two. The young maids around the young lady actually knew the young lady's enemies.

"Ha ha, know, more than know!" Ye Ziqi's wine seems to have woken up. He can't forget that he also has a part of cultivation today.

"It's easier to get to know each other, and it saves the process of adapting to each other. However, what can people like you do with this process?"

"Uncle Wang, did you just say that he is also a subordinate?"

"Nonsense, he is a slave here, a superior, who will be arranged to live here?"

slave! Haha! At this time, Ye Ziqi also noticed half of the word "slave" exposed on Manxiu's neck. Although it was covered by a single coat, it was undoubtedly the seal of the official family. Ye Ziqi had seen it before.

"Are you a slave here?" Ye Ziqi asked the monks with some gloating misfortune. Man Xiu didn't pay attention to him, but Uncle Wang was impatient. "I said you don't have so much nonsense, right?"

But when Uncle Wang was about to lift the long whip in his hand, Ye Ziqi also took down the only hairpin on his head and handed it to Uncle Wang.

"Pure silver."

After carefully identifying, Uncle Wang still put it away. It's not like the beating and abuse of Ye Ziqi before. Instead, he said, "Well, you come here on the first day and adapt to the environment first. Anyway, you are just paying off your debts, not a slave in this week's house. I'll ask someone to add a quilt later. You But it's so raw, don't get it dirty!"

Man Xiu began to suspect that Uncle Wang had been good to him before.

Ye Ziqi didn't do any work, just sat and stared at the busy Qin Manxiu. Man Xiu didn't pay attention to him. This design framed himself and the bad guy of Jinlan's sister. He deserves this!

The two remained speechless. It was not until dinner time that Ye Ziqi saw that no one had brought him food, and then said to himself, "Why hasn't this food deliveryman come yet? Who are you going to starve to death?"

Man Xiu still didn't answer him, but did everything by himself, washed a little with well water, spread his straw mat, wrapped his cotton-padded clothes, and closed his eyes to rest.

"Hey, have you eaten yet? Are you going to sleep now? Ye Ziqi still didn't win Man Xiu and asked.

"There is only a meal here at noon, not at night."

"What!" Ye Ziqi was about to lose his temper when his eyes turned again and said, "You're not here to scare me, are you?"

Man Xiu no longer answers. After a long time, Ye Ziqi will know whether what he said is true or not, so why bother to fight with him.

"Hey, how did you become a slave to someone else's family?"

"Look at the blood stains on your body, have you been beaten lightly?"

"I said that people like you will suffer losses, but you will still have to do it. In the end, don't you just suffer by yourself?"

"Oh, have you seen my brother?"

"I heard that he not only lost his official hat, but also almost died because of his investigation. People say that he wants to commit suicide, but I know it's not..."

"Actually, I happened to sneak home that day. Guess what I saw? A shadow entered my brother's room. Soon, I heard a sound, like the sound of falling to the ground. I was curious and walked over to see. Unexpectedly, I saw that my brother had hung on the beam, and the shadow disappeared in a blink of an eye... Damn, I didn't know which string was wrong that day, so I rushed in. God knew how much I wanted him to die! But that day, I was so nervous that I wanted to save him! But when I heard the voice outside again, I was afraid that people would come in and bump into me again, which was even more difficult to argue. So he only straightened the stool for him and let him step on it. He didn't dare to stay much, so he slipped out. After that, he heard that Yang Quan went in to save him. Presumably, he should be all right now? But the hateful thing is that since then, the Ye family has been more closely guarded, and I haven't even had a chance to go in..."

Ye Ziqi turned against the silence of the day and chattered so much on another straw mat. Man Xiu actually didn't fall asleep at all. It turned out that Ye Zilian paid such a big price to investigate the case, and Ye Ziqi was the one who saved Ye Zilian at the first time.

Cause, result, cause...

"Ouch..." Obviously, a few whips that had just been pumped made Ye Ziqi feel painful. When he was a young master, he would never have expected that he would be in the field like today.

"Here you are." Manxiu took out a small bottle from the back of a jar and handed it to Ye Ziqi.

"What?"

"Drug. It may hurt less if you apply it.

Although it is night, with the moonlight, Manxiu can still clearly see Ye Ziqi's almost surprised expression.

"You don't hate me?" Ye Ziqi took the medicine, but asked doubt.

"Hate. Don't you hate me the same?"

There is no dialogue between the two sides. On a cold night, even if Ye Ziqi covered the old quilt with several holes in the bed, he still trembled with cold, and what about Manxiu? Only use a cotton-padded jacket as a curled up, the slave...

Ye Ziqi slept very deeply. It was not how comfortable the old quilt and broken grass mat were, but that he was slept by the diffuse point.

Just like a few nights ago, Man Xiu deftly opened the chains on his hands and feet, and then gently jumped on the roof and carefully looked at the Zhou Mansion under the night.

In the two years deep in the mountains, Manxiu has been very familiar with the pleasure brought by light kung fu, and by the way, he has learned more about Mu Feng's home skills, theft, and the necessary skills of stealing, such as unlocking. Of course, Uncle Yuan didn't know when he learned his skills from Mu Feng. How could Shaolin's decent kung fu allow such an act of stealing? However, both of them are integrated into the whole body. Man Xiu did not feel that there was any conflict between the two samples. On the contrary, these skills could help him a lot. For example, tonight.

It is said that Manxiu lightly crossed the roof, and what can arouse his interest is Zhou Ke's main courtyard. It is said that this is a place where Zhou can handle government affairs. Because it involves national affairs, it is heavily guarded day and night. Miscellaneous people, more precisely, people without Zhou Ke's tokens, can't get in and out of them. Even Hu Shi, the wife of Zhou's house, and Zhou Xinran, the only lady of the Zhou family, are included in the list of idle people. Will there be any secrets inside? If so, what will it be?

has been observing for three days and nights in a row. On the surface, the main courtyard seems to be normal. What you can see are some well-trained soldiers changing guards on time and conscientiously every day. It doesn't seem that other places in Zhou Prefecture, which is actively preparing for the dust banquet, are always deserted. Maybe it's because Zhou Ke hasn't come back yet? Man Xiu thought of it.

The first three nights were the recovery period of Manxiu, and coupled with his strangeness to Zhoufu, he did not dare to take risks easily. But tonight, most of the injuries on the body have healed, and the time for the guard to change posts is also very accurate. At this time, I won't go in to check it. Will I really wait for Zhou Ke to come back and go in when the master is like a cloud?

The so-called tiger can't get a tiger without entering the tiger's den! Man Xiu learned kung fu by himself before he experienced why the legendary children of the world were so bold. Because there is enough bold capital.

He also decided to explore it himself. Maybe he will find something?

When a child, a person enters the moment of deep sleep. However, the main courtyard also seems to pay special attention to this moment. A time for the change of guards is set for the son. I'm afraid it is for the slackness of the previous guards and replace them with some energetic ones.

At the moment of changing his post, Man Xiu gently jumped into the scope of the main courtyard. At this time, he was not wearing a white coat full of blood, but Ye Ziqi's coat, because it was black.

It's dark around. Anyway, it's the first time to go through the world. Everything is carefully cultivated.

Waited for a moment, and with the sound of the wind blowing, Manxiu ran lightly from the roof to the center of the courtyard. Generally, the main house should be located in the center, Manxiu guessed.

Where should we start to investigate the many rooms? When Man Xiu gently jumped off the roof and was about to take a closer look at each room, he found a team of people patrolling. Man Xiu hurriedly avoided to one side, his body was flexible, and with the cover of black clothes, he was not found by anyone.

Lucky, it's really lucky.

But at this moment, it seemed that I heard footsteps again. Are you a patrol again? Such a small Ma Shuai Palace courtyard is really comparable to the inner courtyard of the palace!

Man Xiu's heart became nervous again and hid in the dark.

However, this time Manxiu guessed wrong. The people who came were not patrol soldiers, but two ordinary men. The two men walked one after the other. The one in front seems to have been leading the way sideways, but he looks more like a domestic servant, while the man behind him, who is only 45 or 46 years old, walks with his head held high and always holding the knife around his waist. This reminds Man Xiu of soldiers. When they are in the barracks, they can often see people walking in this posture.

Yes, which ordinary person will choose to visit Erpin Ma Shuai's house late at night?

Man Xiu smiled. Obviously, he will gain a lot tonight.

Man Xiu followed the two and walked around for a while before he saw them stop in an inconspicuous small thatched house. Man Xiu was stunned at first. He didn't expect that there would be a cave and a thatched hut in this tile house. And those who can visit late at night must be the owner of this thatched hut is not an idle person.

Thinking about it, the servant who led the way knocked gently on the door and said, "Sir, someone is coming."

An old man's voice came from the room, "Please."

While the servant opened the door for the middle-aged man behind him, the light in the room also lit up. At the moment the middle-aged man entered, a white beard was reflected in his eyes, and then the door was quickly closed. Man Xiu didn't even have time to see the other party's appearance.

The light swayed three people. You have to find a suitable place and listen to what they say. Thinking about it, he took a clever leap and turned to the window of the thatched hut.

"Thank you for your hard work. What did the general say? It's the old man's voice.

"General asked his subordinates to come back quickly. Please have a look." It's the voice of the middle-aged man.

The content of the letter is unknown, but he guesses that the ten "generals" in the two population refer to Zhou Ke. After waiting for a long time, he heard a sigh inside. After that, the previous old man said, "Don't you know that Ye Mingxin has the momentum to replace him? Are you still waiting to be killed like this?"

"It's not so much sitting and waiting for death, why don't you say it's static braking?"

"I'm afraid that before it is static braking, it will be controlled by movement and take the lead!"

"Haven't you heard of the saying that the latecomer came to the top? Even if he takes the lead and wants to move the general at all, I'm afraid he doesn't have that strength!"

"Didn't the general think that the history of Taizu's wine and release of military power in those years might be replayed today?"
