The daily life of being held back by apprentices

There must be no decent excuse to investigate the county magistrate's wife, so the two became gentlemen again and entered the county magistrate's mansion.

But fortunately, the county magistrate's mansion was not a mansion of a high official after all, there were only a few servants and maids, and even the gatekeeper was dozing off, so no one could find the two people who had sneaked in.

Compared with these ordinary NPCs, the lightness skills of the two of them can be described as superb, and they were not found when they walked against the tiles of the roof.

Following the direction the servant girl was walking, the two found the magistrate's wife's room, stood guard on the roof, and listened to the people in the room.

A female voice of some age came from below.

"Xiao Lian, the body cream I asked you to buy yesterday, do you still have it?"

"Returning to Madam, when the servants went, the doctor at the pharmacy said they were sold out."

Immediately afterwards, there was a sound of porcelain falling to the ground, "You don't know how to hurry up! You can't do even a small thing! What are you doing! You still want to hook up with the master! Give me a good look at her face!"

Then there was a sound of begging for mercy, followed by a slap in the face mixed with cries of pain.

It took a while for the room to calm down. Zhong Yuya and Yue Jinglan looked at each other, thinking that there was nothing interesting, it was just a scene where a wealthy family taught their servants a lesson. Just as they were about to leave, they heard another sound coming from the room. Very quiet conversation.

"Ma'am, don't get angry, this maid is not easy to use, and when Cui'er comes back, I'll just get rid of this maid."

The madam was also anxious: "But when will Cui'er come back? How long has the master called her for interrogation? Don't she confess me?"

The voice of the old woman quickly comforted her and said: "Madam, don't worry, Tweety's old parents depend on you, how dare she confess you, besides, what a big deal, the master just asked a few words, At most, it will be released tonight."

Madam's heart is still up and down, and she always feels that something is wrong: "But this is a piece of broken wood, why is the master so caring? Sure enough, he is still thinking about that damn girl!"

"Ma'am, this servant thinks it's safe to dispose of this wood as soon as possible, so that the master won't find out."

Madam was also afraid, so she quickly agreed, nodded and said: "That's the reason, you go and dig out that log, go out and throw it away, the farther you throw it, the better!"

When Zhong Yuya heard this, the private conversation became more and more startled. The two followed the old woman secretly, and saw her dig out a wooden box from under a tree in the backyard, which should contain the gavel up.

The old woman carried a wooden box in her arms, wrapped it in a piece of sackcloth, and hurried to a sparsely populated place.

The two followed unhurriedly, and saw the old woman carrying a wooden box all the way to a bamboo forest in the east. When she reached the edge of the bamboo forest, she looked around, but Zhong Yuya and Zhong Yuya were not found, and hurried into the bamboo forest again. .

Zhong Yuya was afraid that he would be found easily if he entered the bamboo forest, so he opened a little distance and took a step slowly to keep up.

I thought that the old woman must have hidden all the things at this time, and the two of them could find the gavel that the old woman had hidden as long as they found the traces of the soil being refurbished. Unexpectedly, before the two of them got close, they found that the old woman was not hiding at all. thing.

There was a man in gray standing in front of the old woman, she was smiling all over her face, and handed the box to someone respectfully.

The man didn't talk nonsense, so he asked, "Are you sure no one followed?"

The old woman smiled and said: "That's natural. That woman is all about dealing with the happiness of her husband's love. She didn't care about me. She let me throw away my things, for fear of being found out that it was her who called me." Someone stole the wood."

The man nodded: "Very well, you did a good job."

The wrinkles on the old woman's face trembled with a smile: "Then... my lord, this reward?"

The man in gray looks ordinary, one of those looks that can't be found even if thrown into the crowd, but a strange smile appeared on his face: "Well, you will definitely be rewarded."

As he said that he took his hand out of his pocket, the old woman smiled even more happily, thinking that he was about to give the gold, she quickly stretched out her hand.

But Zhong Yuya had sharp eyes, and the man's action of digging out things clearly made her feel a flash of light.

The man in gray was very fast, but Zhong Yuya was even faster. The moment he made a move, Zhong Yuya also drew his sword.

A sword qi charged at the gray-clothed man, barely brushed the old woman's cheek, and cut off a few strands of her silver hair. The whole person was terrified, screaming that he thought he was injured, and hurriedly fell to one side.

The man in gray barely caught Zhong Yuya's sword energy. His internal strength was much lower than that of Zhong Yuya's. The seemingly inadvertent sword energy was difficult for someone with high internal strength to parry. His expression turned pale. Change, dare not fight with it, hug the box tightly and run away.

Yue Jinglan has also learned a lot of moves with Zhong Yuya these days. Although she can't deal with any masters, she still has the strength to fight like this kind of little shrimp who doesn't have much skill. Generally entangled to the man in gray.

The whip was unbiased and happened to wrap around the wooden box in the gray-clothed man's hand, and the gray-clothed man angrily drew his knife to cut off the whip.

But Yue Jinglan's whip was a superb weapon that Zhong Yuya had spent a lot of money to buy, how could it be cut off so easily.

Just as the man in gray was trying to cut the rope, Zhong Yuya flew in front of him.

With a flick of the control technique, he was firmly suppressed. Now let alone running, it is nothing if he can move his feet even a step.

The gray-clothed man had a bitter look on his face. Today he was planted here.

Zhong Yuya took a step forward, and the copper coin flew out of his hand, hitting the acupuncture point of the man in gray. He suddenly felt weak in his legs and feet, and knelt down unsteadily.

This trick was learned by Zhong Yuya and Yue Jinglan from a blind master when they were playing around a few days ago. The master had a good chat with them, so he gave some pointers. Looking at these small moves, they really have the flavor of a martial arts hero.

Zhong Yuya said coldly: "Who are you? How dare you instigate someone in the magistrate's mansion to help you steal things! Do you know what crime it is to steal from the magistrate's mansion!"

The man had a disdainful expression, his nose was not his nose, his eyes were not his eyes, and he said with a stiff expression, "I don't know, maybe you know?"

Zhong Yuya was stunned for a moment, with an embarrassed expression: "I don't know."

Yue Jinglan raised his eyebrows, almost lashing at Zhong Yuya with his whip, so these two want to discuss?

"Who cares about his charges! Take the things first and then talk about it!"

Hearing Yue Jinglan's reminder, Zhong Yuya pointed his sword at the man in gray, and pressed the blade of the sword with a cold blue light against the man in gray's neck: "Hand over the box."

The man in gray stared at Zhong Yuya coldly, the smile on the corner of his mouth widened, his mouth moved, and then he suddenly had a ferocious expression, and his body began to twitch. It didn't take long for the man to roll his eyes and struggle, and foam came out from the corner of his mouth.

Zhong Yuya and Yue Jinglan looked at each other, and Yue Jinglan shrugged: "I can't be saved, dead man, there is a drug in his mouth, he committed suicide."

Fortunately, his death was not particularly disgusting, so Zhong Yuya reached out and took the wooden box.

The old woman didn't know where she had gone. When the fight broke out just now, she cried "Killer" and ran away madly.

There was still some dirt on the wooden box. After opening it, there was indeed an old gavel inside. It was a long strip with a smooth top and sharp edges at the bottom, but it was slightly damaged, reddish brown, and the paint was peeled off in some places.

The two looked at it for a long time, but they didn't see any tricks. It was just a long-used gavel. Is it worth a dead man risking his life to steal it?

And in this day and age, someone who can afford to support such a loyal dead soldier must have a difficult status, and he still needs to steal a piece of broken wood?

Yue Jinglan played with the wood in his hands, and sneered: "People who can afford to support dead soldiers, why don't they just let dead soldiers go to the yamen to steal it? It's so devious and let the county magistrate's own people steal it."

Zhong Yuya thought for a moment: "Because he can't come forward? And he doesn't want to hide the fact that things were stolen?"

Yue Jinglan nodded: "Yes, he wants to let the county magistrate know that the things were stolen, but he can't let the county magistrate know that he stole the things."

"The county magistrate's enemy?"

Yue Jinglan shook her head: "The county magistrate of Wucheng isn't going to offend someone with a dead man."

That's what I said, but it's not impossible. The official affairs are the most difficult to say. The county magistrate of Wucheng may not have offended this big man, but the county magistrate himself can't be said to be completely unreliable in the officialdom. If the county magistrate Did the people standing in line offend?

Yue Jinglan naturally knew this truth, she had her own calculations in her heart, she just spent some time with Zhong Yuya, it seemed that some people were a little restless.

Zhong Yuya still didn't understand, she frowned and asked, "Even if you offended someone, why did you steal a piece of broken wood?"

The bounty for this piece of broken wood has been hanging for several days, and no one cares about it at all. Not to mention players, even NPCs don’t have many bounties for this piece of wood. A piece of broken wood is both inconspicuous and worthless. Who would steal this thing without incident?

Yue Jinglan poked Zhong Yuya's smooth forehead with her finger: "Why do you look so good-looking in vain? You have to be inconspicuous to hide things. Open this broken wood for me and see what's inside. What."

When Zhong Yuya heard this, he smiled awkwardly, threw the gavel into the air, lifted the sword with a light wave, put the sword back into its sheath, and the gavel became two pieces.

It stands to reason that there are very few things that cannot be cut by the Yunshui sword. The gavel was cut in two, but the things inside were intact, falling on the ground, with a little reflection.

Zhong Yuya picked it up and looked at it, then frowned and asked, "What is this?"

Yue Jinglan took it over to look at it, and sneered: "I just said why Qin Changhe was in such a hurry to go back to the frontier. It turns out that there is a secret channel."

That thing was a very thin silver plate with complicated patterns engraved on it, with a huge "Ling" character in the middle, a small "Qin" character engraved on the corner, and a hovering phoenix engraved on the corner.

Zhong Yuya frowned when he saw the word "Qin", "Is this Qin Changhe's soldier tiger charm?"

Yue Jinglan shook his head: "No, the Binghu Talisman has existed in all dynasties, and the word 'Qin' will not be engraved on it, and the Binghu Talisman is extremely important. It must be in Qin Changhe's own hands, and it is impossible for it to be lost elsewhere. This brand should be It is an internal transfer order of the Qin Family Army, seeing the order is like seeing Qin Changhe himself, only his confidantes will have this brand."

Zhong Yuya was even more confused: "How could the order of Qin's army be in the gavel of the county magistrate of Wucheng? And this gavel was made by the county magistrate's daughter many years ago. What's going on?"

Yue Jinglan threw the sign into the sky, and then caught it with one hand: "I don't know, but ah, this dead man didn't get his things back today, his master must know that things were robbed, and we two will be fine by then." An's birthday."

Zhong Yuya suddenly felt tired. Some time ago, Yue Jinglan took her to sabotage the martial arts competition of the richest man in Jiangcheng, but they were chased and killed by posting notices. They insisted on hiding in the deep mountains and old forests for a long time. Afterwards, it was only a matter of preparing a good gift and licking your face to apologize to others. I am afraid that it will not be good to offend the big man behind the dead man this time.

"We won't run into the deep mountains and old forests again, right? This time it's not something that can be solved by apologizing to Miss Jiang."

Yue Jinglan gave her a sideways look: "Look at your worthless appearance! This time, the big man behind this person will definitely not be able to chase us openly. We only need to see who puts a reward on us tomorrow to know who is related to this matter." .”

After finishing speaking, the conversation changed again, Yue Jinglan gave Zhong Yuya a vicious look: "Let's talk again! I asked you to go on stage and teach that disciple a casual lesson, but it turned out that you were fine and gave him two or three blows. , Say! Do you want to marry that Miss Jiang! "

Zhong Yuya was so angry that he vomited blood: "Obviously you asked me to come on stage!"

Yue Jinglan was even more angry: "I told you to go up and you went up, then I told you to kiss me, why didn't you kiss me?"

Zhong Yuya quickly put a kiss on the corner of Yue Jinglan's mouth: "I'm kissing."

There was a triumphant smile on her face, which made her delicate face a little brighter.

Yue Jinglan looked at it, couldn't restrain the smile on the corner of her mouth, but still pretended to be displeased and said: "Wow you! Take advantage of me, no, I want to kiss back!"

Zhong Yuya looked at her and smiled helplessly: "Childish."
