After five days in the mountain, as soon as he came out of the mountain, Zhang Gong said with concern: "You two go back and rest quickly. If you want these prey, I will divide them up and send them to you when I have time. If possible, I will directly Take it to the city and exchange it for some silver taels. What do you think?"

Gu Cheng waved his hands again and again, "Uncle Zhang, A Yuan and I didn't contribute to these things, why should we still share them. We can't want it! We can't want it!"

Zhang Gong smiled and shook his head, "I'm too lazy to argue with you, just take the seven rabbits and two pheasants home and eat them. The remaining two roe deer belong to me!"

Gu Cheng blushed and was stuffed into a heavy back basket. He tugged at Gu Yuan, "A Yuan, let's go home."

Gu Yuan watched Zhang Gong put the deer on a wheelbarrow, and asked, "Uncle Zhang, are you going to the city?"

"Yeah, I have to send it to the city to sell it while it's fresh. Although it's noon now, if you walk faster, you can make it to the city before dark."

"Uncle Zhang," Gu Yuan took a step forward, "Can I go into the city with you?"

Gu Cheng teased Gu Yuan again, "A Yuan, what are you doing? It's been a few days, we should go back. Don't make trouble for Uncle Zhang."

Gu Yuan persisted, looking straight at Zhang Gong.

Zhang Gong stood up, thumped his waist, "Okay, you want to go with me, then push the cart for me, my old waist..."

Gu Cheng teased Gu Yuan again, but Gu Yuan backed away, "Brother, go back and tell your mother that you are safe, and I will go to the city with Uncle Zhang, so you won't be worried, right?"

"...Okay, then I will trouble Uncle Zhang."

"No trouble, that's all, let's go, it's time to hurry up."

Things like a wheelbarrow really made Gu Yuan suffer a lot.Fortunately, hurrying quickly, the two finally entered the gate of Suzhou City before Taihei closed the gate.

On the three-foot-wide street, lanterns were hung high on both sides, and the people on the street were like flowing water, very lively, like two worlds from the outside of the city.

Zhang Gong led Gu Yuan from the back alley to the back door of Zhenxiu Restaurant.The young man who guarded the door knew Zhang Gong well, let them in, and immediately went to call the shopkeeper.

Wearing a square hat and gold silk, Wei Fugui, the shopkeeper of Zhenxiu Restaurant, rested his hands on his swollen stomach, and smiled before saying anything, "Hehe, what did Brother Zhang bring? Yo, deer, this meat is delicious. Laiwang, hurry up to the back kitchen and let Master Wei cook first."

"Hey!"

Wei Fugui grabbed Zhang Gong, "Brother Zhang, come here every time for a meal, go for a walk, and have a drink?"

"Let's go, who told you that the food in Zhenxiu Restaurant is so delicious."

"Haha," Wei Fugui turned around, "Who is this?"

"Oh, my benefactor Liu Da's nephew is also my nephew, his name is Gu Yuan."

"Well, yes, the young man is quite tall, hehe, let's go, let's eat."

The shopkeeper of Zhenxiu Restaurant invites people to eat, naturally in the best compartment.A table of dishes looks very ordinary, but everything has its own merits, it's just that Gu Yuan doesn't care about eating.

Zhang Gong and Wei Fugui chatted, and they talked about what happened these days.

"Now the eldest lady has been found, but this matter, I don't think it will end like this."

Gu Yuan pricked up his ears.

"Oh?" Zhang Gong put down his chopsticks, "Isn't it an accident?"

"How is it possible? The law and order in Suzhou City has always been safe and sound since my master came. How could it happen that a major incident happened and my lady ran into it?"

"Are you okay?"

"I don't know much about the affairs in the mansion. I only heard that the uncle has come and invited the man from the Sanji Pavilion on Jianghu to find him. The thief has also been shot and killed by the Jianghu people. I heard that the thief is still alive. , cut off the arm of a person in the Sanji Pavilion!"

No matter how suspicious he was, Gu Yuan had already realized that he himself was the "thief" that Shopkeeper Wei said.Heh, the Three Machines Pavilion is really powerful.He didn't ask any questions, and immediately went up to the killing move.I don't know if Shu'er will worry about him?

Zhang Gong: "I didn't expect that there are such unpredictable people hidden in Fulong Mountain."

Shopkeeper Wei: "Yes, you have to be more careful when hunting in the future. But my lord has already sent people to station there."

Zhang Gong nodded: "Yes, I also met it when I entered the mountain last time. But why didn't I hear that Lord Ye did anything to the people behind the scenes?"

Shopkeeper Wei shook his head: "It's too late. In short, the Ye Mansion has been sealed up now, and I don't know the specific situation. Come, come, eat vegetables, don't talk about these..."

Gu Yuan put down his chopsticks and stood up, "Well, Uncle Zhang, shopkeeper, I'm done eating, I'll go out first."

Zhang Gong nodded and confessed, "You go out first, don't go too far, you and I will stay in the backyard of the shopkeeper Wei's delicacy restaurant today, you should come back early."

Wei Fugui laughed, "The young man just loves to play, so hurry up and go."

Zhang Gong glared at him, "A Yuan is a good boy."

Gu Yuan didn't know what charade they were playing, so he hurriedly opened the compartment door, detoured from the back door of Zhenxiu Building, and came to the bustling street of Suzhou City.

Lord Muye of Suzhou must have his residence in the north of the city, where dignitaries and dignitaries have always gathered there.

Gu Yuan found a road to the north and walked quickly.

Along the way, the tall courtyard walls separated the hustle and bustle. The further north you went, the fewer people there were, and the road became quieter.

An exquisite carriage passed by Gu Yuan, and there was a conversation on the carriage.

"I don't know if it would be rash to visit Lord Ye at this point."

"No, my lord, Mr. Ye is busy with business, and only receives some friends at night."

"I hope it's as you said..."

Gu Yuan's eyes lit up, and he followed the carriage.

After going around the streets, the carriage finally stopped in front of a gate.

Two tall stone lions sit on the left and the right.In front of the stone lions, there are two rows of well-dressed servants.Going forward, on the third level of steps, the vermilion gate is illuminated by two strings of lanterns, and the red is dull.On it, there are two big characters written on a plaque with a gold frame on a black background.

Gu Yuan pursed his lips, he hadn't learned how to read yet.But looking at the person who was on the horse coming down, handing a letter to the boy at the door and being welcomed in, we can tell that this may be the Ye Mansion, the mansion of Muye Kaiyang in Suzhou.

The book must be inside.

Thinking that the two of them are only separated by a wall, Gu Yuan felt anxious.He retreated into the darkness, pacing step by step around the high courtyard wall of Ye Mansion.

"Stop! Who?"

A team of gray-clothed guards stopped Gu Yuan, "Do you know where this is? How dare you hang around here, why don't you go away!"

There are guards?

Gu Yuan took a few steps back and walked back along the way he came.But he is not reconciled, even if he knows that he is not capable enough now, for the sake of the book, he has to break through the dragon's lake and the tiger's den.

……

It was night, and the bustling streets were already silent.The night patrol soldiers hurriedly patrolled along the route listlessly.

At the end of the hour, Gu Yuan put on his shoes, carefully opened the door, and disappeared into the night.

Zhang Gong on the other side of the bed opened his eyes suddenly, scratched his head, muttered "I'm so worried", then put on his shoes and walked out.

As soon as he went out, where was Gu Yuan's shadow?Zhang Gong let out a hey, rubbed his eyes resignedly, and went to find someone.

At the turn of March and April, the moon is as thin as a white line.Although the stars are bright, they are not very bright after all.

The businesses on both sides of the street have already closed their doors, and the lanterns in front of the doors have long been extinguished.

Zhang Gong dodged the patrolling soldiers and guards all the way, looking for him like a headless chicken, "If I had known, I wouldn't have brought him here. It's midnight, so don't be caught by the patrols!"

Ye Mansion, Yanhua Courtyard.

The sleeping Ye Yushu suddenly woke up.He put on his shoes, put on a thin coat, and walked out without knowing why.

Ye Yushu clutched his chest, walked over the sleeping little flower outside, walked into the center of the courtyard, and looked northwest.

Xiaocao, who was sleeping in the east chamber, muttered something to Xiaohua, put on her clothes and ran out.

"Miss, it's cold in the night, why did you come out?"

"... Xiaocao, look."

"Look at what?"

"Look to the northwest, why is it so bright? What's wrong?"

At this moment, the gate of the courtyard was knocked, Xiaocao was startled, and asked in a low voice, "Who is it?"

"Open the door, it's Madam."

"Madam?" Xiaocao hurriedly ran to open the door, and sure enough, behind Hongxiu, her wife was also standing there in a thin coat.

Wei Shi pushed away the two maidservants and stepped into the yard, "Oh, Shu'er, why are you standing in the yard? Quick, go back to the house."

Ye Yushu walked in, being embraced by Mrs. Wei, turned her head to look northwest, and asked, clutching her chest, "Mother, what's going on over there?"

"It's nothing, it's nothing serious, it's just a short-sighted little thief who dared to come to our house to steal in the middle of the night. Your father has already ordered Manager Ye Fu to arrest people."

Wei Shi turned his head, "You two stay on guard in the yard!"

Entering the room, Wei Shi grabbed the little flower on the couch, "Master is awake, still sleeping!"

Xiao Hua opened her eyes and immediately rolled down, kneeling on the ground.

Ye Yushu frowned, "Mother, why did you wake her up? You are busy from morning to night during the day, why don't you let me sleep well?"

"Okay, my son's heart is kind..."

……

The pursuers behind him were getting closer and closer, Gu Yuan didn't know the direction, just around a flower bed, he saw another group of people holding torches running towards him.

A drop of cold sweat slipped down, Gu Yuan quickly looked around and rushed towards the arch on the side of the garden.Outside the arch, another group of guards held torches and rushed straight to Gu Yuan, shouting.

No, if you get caught, you might be in trouble.

However, he hasn't found the book yet.

In an instant, all kinds of thoughts came to my mind.Gu Yuan stood on the porch, wanting to give up struggling.

"idiot!"

A hard palm pinched Gu Yuan's shoulder, and there was a pulling force from the palm.Gu Yuan only felt pain in his shoulder bones, and his body sank, and he was taken up to the roof.

The palm let go, and waved it towards his head, "Don't be dazed, follow me closely!"

The corridors of Ye Mansion are connected one by one into lines, connecting all parts of the mansion.This is convenient for the two of them.

Speeding all the way, I saw the end of the corridor, the guards below gathered into a large group, and the torches illuminated the sky.

The hard palm pinched Gu Yuan's shoulder again, and led Gu Yuan to jump down the corridor, run a few steps, and jumped onto the outer wall.Before the guards arrive, escape from Ye Mansion.

Hiding in a dark corner, Gu Yuan looked at the panting person beside him and asked, "Uncle Zhang?"

Wiping off the cloth on his face, Zhang Gong said, "It's me!"

"Uncle Zhang..."

"Shut up! Go back and talk about it."
