Bamboo horse, bamboo horse, cheating and fraud

Chapter 23 Doubt

After walking half a circle around the huge Yue Palace, he suddenly took out a ladder from a bush outside the courtyard wall.

I thought to myself, he would not let us be gentlemen who turned over the roofs and tiles, as expected, he smiled obsequiously, and lowered his voice: "Mr. Hey, you two should be considerate and considerate of the villain, if something happens... I don't know that you two have been here!"

As soon as I heard it made sense, I didn't embarrass him either. I nodded and looked at Yunxuan, who also said it was okay.It's just that when I heard "Wu Dalang" say "something happened", my eyelids twitched twice, and I couldn't help but cursed "crow's mouth" in my heart.

Seeing us nodding, "Wu Dalang" was overjoyed immediately, and after telling us a few words not to take things indiscriminately, he said in a strange voice: "When the time comes, let's go on the road, both of you!"

Now it's not just me, even Yun Rong couldn't help frowning.I sighed, that's all, why did I meet such a broom star!

He helped us hold the ladder in the ground, and Yun Rong and I climbed into the courtyard one after another.

Then I heard someone coming from outside shouting in a low voice: "The two of you can go!"

I didn't control my paws for a while, I lowered my head, picked up a stone and threw it out of the courtyard, and then I heard a muffled sound, followed by an "ouch".

The Yuewang Mansion is really too spacious, almost as big as half the village of Maolu Village where I lived when I was a child!It is not an exaggeration to say that "the wine and meat of the Zhumen stinks, and the roads are frozen to death", but having said that, in terms of the achievements of the King of Yue in his life, I am afraid that it is more than enough to build a hundred of these Palaces of the King of Yue.Yun Sui and I reckoned that if all the clues were found, it would take ten days and a half a month.

However, the capital city is far away from here, and the transportation fee cannot be justified, so how to investigate and to what extent, everything needs to be considered in the long run.

We split up and the first day passed quickly.Although a fire almost burned the house to ruins, we only explored a small part of it in a day.After gaining nothing, Yun Sui and I can only look at the ocean and sigh.

Even the gentle scum like Yun Rong, bah, the gentle scholar, couldn't help scolding his mother: "Damn it, the king of Yue lived comfortably back then, and it's really hard for us!"

I was about to reply, but at the end of my line of sight, a giant "groundhog" was lying on the corner and twisting its fat buttocks.

I was just wondering, this Yue king was brave and good at fighting during his lifetime, even the groundhog in the mansion has such an extraordinary physique?

In broad daylight, you dare to come out and steal something to eat!

Slowly approached and took a closer look, what kind of groundhog was it, it was clearly that Wu Dalang was bending over and leaning on the corner of the wall, looking into the distance.

I sighed, I didn't have a good appearance in the first place, and now this posture is even more wretched!

Chen Yunxian and I looked at each other and nodded, tiptoed to the back of that round lump of flesh, and kicked hard on his alluring buttocks.However, he didn't jump up and yell as he imagined, on the contrary, his legs were indeed weak, and he rolled to the ground, his eyes closed and he let out a cry.

Yun Sui quickly pressed his shoulders with his hands, and when I saw his cowardly expression, I couldn't help but slap the cool air: "Come on, it's not about killing pigs, why are you howling!"

He slowly opened his eyes, and he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that it was us who came, showing a look of dismay.

I felt something was wrong in my heart, and looking at Yun Rong, he also frowned slightly.

Sure enough, Wu Dalang didn't answer us, but found another topic: "Are the two young masters going to rest today?"

Yun Sui and I nodded, and he breathed a sigh of relief, "Let's go! I should have a drink or two and go to bed earlier!"

But when he was about to leave first, there was an extra hand with distinct knuckles in front of him——Yun Yan stopped him in time: "Wait a minute, I have something to ask? Do you live here alone on weekdays?" ?”

"Wu Dalang" was quite displeased when he saw someone blocking Qingyun Road where he was feasting, and casually said: "Of course it's me, otherwise who else?"

Yun Sui rolled his eyes when he heard the words: "Then you clean this house on weekdays?"

The janitor frowned: "No, you want me to sweep the house with just a few pennies? Besides, I don't even bother to sweep my little house..."

"Really?" Yun Rong asked again.

I didn't understand Yunxuan's meaning for a while, but the gatekeeper yelled impatiently: "I said, you two, are you trying to find fault, don't you? Don't stand up and talk without back pain. I'm lonely and I have nothing to do. A group of dead people are sweeping the old house, are they full of food and looking for bad luck?"

Yun Yu didn't say anything more, just nodded silently, made an appointment with the man and left.

Back at the inn, I asked him for a few small dishes, and I wanted to drink two cups, but I saw Yun Xuan shook his head at me solemnly.

I knew he had something to say, and I was a little puzzled.

After sitting down, he looked around, and before I could speak, he lowered his voice and said, "Did you find anything?"

His question was ambiguous, I thought for a while, and replied: "There are quite a lot of calligraphy and paintings in the house, but it's a pity that the books are all about 'serving the country with loyalty', I can't see anything!"

Rarely, he didn't refute me, but nodded his head: "That's right, but this may not be a clue. Besides, have you noticed that the Yue Palace is a bit unusually clean!"

Yun Rong's heart is indeed very thin, there is nothing abnormal, but it is actually the biggest abnormality.I nodded and said: "Indeed, the princes and nobles don't have a few valuable decorations in their homes. It's a little unreasonable. But, could it be that King Yue is really a good man with a clean sleeve?"

Yun Yu shook his head and said: "After all, he is an aristocrat, not an ordinary bureaucrat. He is too poor to justify it. Besides, in his position, some things have to be accepted, and some things have to be done!"

Yun Sui's speech followed the usual style of going around mountains and rivers, but I was still confused after listening for a long time: "So what?"

He smiled slightly: "Actually, what you just said is not unreasonable, but what I want to express is not that. The clean I mean is literally clean. I don't know if you have noticed that there is not even a trace of spider web in the palace of Yue Wang." No!"

I was completely dumbfounded after hearing this. I always felt that there was something weird in the Yuewang Mansion just now, but I couldn’t figure out what was wrong. Now that Jing Yunxuan said it, I fully realized it. Indeed, the Yuewang Mansion has no It is surprisingly clean for people to live in. There is not even a speck of dust on the furnishings in the mansion!
