Huahua

Wuyang City is the royal city of Di Kingdom, located in the north of Di Kingdom, with four distinct seasons throughout the year.Because of the many wars in Di Kingdom, even in Wuyang, which is far away from the border, you can see important barracks everywhere.At this time, people in military uniforms were galloping past on Qingxiang Street in Wuyang City. The pedestrians who were originally noisy on the street saw the tall horse galloping, and consciously gave way to the rider.After a burst of dust passed, the whole street returned to its former bustle, as if the people who were speeding past just now had never been there before, and the people of Wuyang have long been accustomed to this scene.

Tong De has been lying in ambush outside the uncle's mansion on Qingxiang West Street for the past few days.

"Boss, it's been three days, and I haven't seen any suspicious people except for the servants who buy vegetables and deliver water. Except for going to court every day, Uncle Guo has never gone out."

Tong De didn't say anything when he heard his subordinate's report, his eyes were fixed on the front door of the uncle's mansion.Near noon, the early winter sun is still a little hot, and the face of the person is hot.Chen Jing stood there staring at the wooden stake, and Tong De, who didn't blink her eyes, was filled with admiration.The few of them have been lying in ambush here for several days, and they even know how many nails are set on the plaque of the uncle's mansion.But their boss, it's been a whole morning, and they haven't even blinked their eyes, so the posture is still the same as it was at the beginning.Just when Chen Jing was silently admiring Tong De, the door of the uncle's mansion, which had been closed for a whole morning, was suddenly opened.A middle-aged woman came out with a maid.The maid was still carrying a basket in her hand, and she seemed to be going out.

When Tong De saw the two people in front of the door, his expression finally changed.

"Who is it?" Tong De asked Chen Jing.

"I heard that she is the daughter of Empress Dowager Li's nanny. I have seen her go out of the house in the past few days, and we have followed him. But she just went to the nearby Fahua Temple to offer incense. This woman is very sincere. Go to the temple to worship."

Tong De didn't make a sound when he heard Chen Jing's words, and told them to keep watching, then quietly followed the carriage that the woman was riding in.Tong De followed the woman all the way to Fahua Temple on the hill outside Wuyang City.After Tong De saw the woman and the maid got off the carriage, he was not in a hurry to go to the Buddhist temple to offer incense, but went around the bustling crowd to the monk's house behind.

This woman seemed to be very familiar with the monks in the monastery. Several monks saw her walking around in the backyard and did not ask any further questions.The woman and the maid finally came to the door of a monk's house in the west chamber, the woman gave a few words to the maid and walked in.The maid stood outside the door and did not leave, as if she was guarding the door.

Seeing this situation, Tong De frowned, and then quickly turned over to the monk's house next to him, and bent down a few steps to the roof of the monk's house where the woman was.Tong De was dexterous, and when he reached the roof, he lifted a tile casually and looked down.In the monk's house, an old monk in cassock was talking to the woman.

Tong De wanted to listen carefully to what the old monk and the woman were talking about.But the monk's house in Fahua Temple was built much higher than ordinary houses, even though Tong De had excellent ears, he couldn't hear what the people in the house were talking about.He just vaguely heard words like 'tomorrow night', 'carriage' and 'be careful'.Tong De watched about half a stick of incense on the roof before the woman and the old monk finished talking.The woman didn't stop at all, and then she went out of the room and left with the maid at the door.Tong De did not leave with the woman, but waited until the old monk came out of the room, turned over and got off the roof, and sneaked into the room quietly.While paying attention to the movement at the door, Tong De rummaged through the room to see if there was anything suspicious.But he searched for a while, but found nothing.There are nothing more than objects used by monks, and there is a cabinet of Buddhist scriptures.Just when he felt that he had gained nothing and was about to leave.Suddenly a flash of inspiration came to my mind.Tong De came to the bookcase in a few steps, and then flipped through the Buddhist scriptures on it.I found that all the Buddhist scriptures are brand new, not to mention the creases of the pages, even the corners of the books have no traces of friction from the pages.So Tong De searched carefully around the bookcase, and sure enough, he found a small slip mark on the ground at a corner of the bookcase.Tong De wiped the lime on the ground with his hands, and looked at the scratches again.The traces are very new. Although there are not many traces, they can definitely be caused by repeatedly moving the bookcase.Tong De stood up and knocked on the back of the bookcase with his hand, but there was an empty 'empty' sound from the original wooden bookcase.Tong De is sure that there must be a mystery behind this bookcase.

Just when he wanted to search for the mechanism carefully and opened the bookcase to have a look, he heard voices coming from far and near outside the door towards the room where he was.Tong De was a little unwilling, but he didn't stay any longer, and then opened a wooden window and turned out of the room.

When Tong De returned to the gate of the uncle's mansion, several guards who were ambushing him were still there.

"Boss, you are back. The woman you followed went back to the house before, and no one left the house after that." Chen Jing reported to Tong De.

Tong De nodded.

"You keep watching. If the woman leaves the mansion again, you must follow and report to me later."

"Got it, boss."

After Tong De explained, he turned and left the Uncle Guo's Mansion.

In the study room of Jingyang Palace, Huo Jicai helped Di Yan fill up the new tea, and Tong De pushed the door open and entered.

"Tsk, I said you will die if you ask someone to notify you?" Huo Qi glared at Tong De who entered without notification.

Tong De looked at him expressionlessly, then at Di Yan, then turned and walked out.Just when Huo Shi was wondering why he was there, he heard someone outside the door shouting.

"Guard Tong is asking to see the king."

The corners of Huo Shi's mouth twitched, while Di Yan smiled lightly.

"Come in."

Then Tong De pushed the door open and entered.

"Kings."

"But what's the news from Li Yi?" Di Yan asked him.

"Exactly. This afternoon, I saw a woman in the uncle's mansion going out to the Fahua Temple in the mountain outside the city. I noticed that although the woman was old, her steps were light and her breathing was long. She looked like a Lianjia So I followed her all the way to Fahua Temple. In the dark, I saw this woman having a secret conversation with an old monk in Fahua Temple. I was incompetent and didn't find out what they were talking about. In the evening, "carriage" and "be careful". Afterwards, I took advantage of the old monk to go out and inspected his room carefully, and found that there should be a secret door or something in the room." Tong De explained the situation he had investigated Tell the truth.

"Fahua Temple? That old thief Li Yi will find a place. No one would have guessed that his dirty silver will be hidden in the temple. Like you said, they want to do it tomorrow night?" Di Yan asked Eyebrow at him.

"Judging from all the signs, it is very possible."

After hearing what he said, Di Yan thought for a while and said.

"Then you gather your troops. If they really do something tomorrow night, we will be caught off guard."

"Do it tomorrow night? Will it be too hasty?" Huo Qi was a little worried.

"The opportunity must never be missed. That old thief, Li Yi, is too cunning. Every day is a risk. As long as you take advantage of it unprepared, your chances of success will be much greater."

"The minister knows, so let's do it." Tong De cupped his hands and left the study.

The author has something to say: a small theater outside the play

Chen Jing: Boss, the director of this scene told you to keep still and not to make facial expressions. How did you do it? Why do I always laugh NG. [bitter face

Tong De: Let yourself go.

Chen Jing: It turns out that you are not serious about watching, but are you completely distracted! (°△°|||)︴
