Crown Jewels

Chapter 76 The Fat Cat

Song Yan continued to look out, and happened to see a piece of indigo robe leg exposed behind the base of the wall.

I saw the man leaning against the shade of the wall, holding a paper fan above his head to block the sun, as if he was waiting for something.

Gently fluttering in the breeze, the wide robe was retracted, making the man even more slender and slender.

Finally, the man opened the folding fan, as if he was a little impatient to wait, and naturally revealed his delicate porcelain-white face.

The sunlight was a bit scorching, and Song Yan squinted subconsciously.

Even though the man was dressed like a man, his red-eyed lips without makeup and the arcs at the end of his eyes were clearly very familiar.

Song Yan didn't notice for a while, and almost fell from the tree.

This person turned out to be Gu Baozhu!

Gu Baozhu was bored and scratched his nails, listening to the conversation of the men in the courtyard.

She came to Daxingshan Temple today because of Fu Sinian's message that Shi Luyi, commander of Jinyiwei, invited her to come here to learn more about the situation.

After the two met, Gu Baozhu told Lu Yi what she had noticed. When the man in black held her hostage that day, when he got close, she could clearly smell the fishy smell from the man's mouth.

This kind of smell, if it is not for the perennial meaty smell, it is impossible to stay.

Talking about this with Lu Yi, Gu Baozhu's purpose is obvious.

She just wanted to lead Lu Yi's thinking to the north. As for who were there in the north, it was their Jin Yiwei's business.

In fact, it's not that the case is so difficult to investigate, but when the handgun used by the empress Gu Jun killed the man in black, the smell of gunpowder from the gunpowder bullets had already covered up the evidential details. past.

Therefore, after a brief investigation of the situation, Lu Yi hurried back to the government office to continue investigating the case.

Gu Baozhu was also planning to return to the academy, but when she opened the gate, she saw a familiar figure.

It turned out to be his father, Prince Gong.

Beside the father, this muscular man entered the courtyard, talking about something.

Gu Baozhu didn't step forward to disturb, and simply leaned against the shade of the wall.

She was going to return to the palace with Prince Gong after the two of them finished talking.

Locked, she just waited there.

Playing with the folding fan absent-mindedly, Gu Baozhu was so bored that he simply propped his chin up and listened to the conversation on the wall.

Gu Baozhu, who was yawning, suddenly raised his eyebrows as "account book", "seventh son" and "buying and selling" came to his ears.

These words made her confused.

Didn't my father always hand over the shops, Zhuangzi and other properties in the palace to the housekeeper because of his health?

Thinking of this, Gu Baozhu frowned slightly, subconsciously listening attentively.

Ripples appeared in the gentle wind, and bursts of Sanskrit sounds were blown ahead, and the solemn scriptures were heard in my ears, and I was a little eager.

Gu Baozhu pinched the fan bone in her hand, her brows slowly furrowed, and her relaxed and relaxed face slowly froze.

She leaned on the wall behind her and moved closer to the direction of the sound, trying to hear the conversation of the people in the courtyard more clearly.

Listen more!

The whole heart is getting tighter!

In the Great Yan Dynasty, when the female emperor Gu Jun ascended the throne, a rule was established to prohibit the private sale of arms.

But why, I actually heard that my father and others were talking about the business of selling firecrackers!
Selling arms without permission is a felony, and gunfire is a taboo area for arms.

Selling firecrackers privately is considered treason!
Gu Baozhu's pupils narrowed slightly, his back was slightly arched, and he held his breath to get closer to the base of the wall.

The more nervous she was, the more clumsy her movements became. Naturally, she didn't notice the cornice at the base of the wall.

"Kick--"

The sound of the collision sounded like a fish jumping into the lake, stirring up waves.

The sound of conversation in the courtyard stopped abruptly!

Then, the sound of hurried footsteps came, and the knocking of the bolt on the wooden door sounded sharply.

Gu Baozhu's body froze slightly, and only one thought crossed her mind: Can't be discovered by these two people!

Even if one person in the courtyard is his father.

I hurriedly looked around, and saw a bamboo basket standing next to it, piled up with layers of dead leaves.

Gu Baozhu didn't have time to worry about it, and decisively lowered himself to lift up the bamboo basket, and covered his whole body in it.

In the courtyard, Prince Gong and the strong man were about to step out of the courtyard. Almost instantly, Song Yan held the green leaf in his hand, and with a bit of energy, flicked towards the wall where the cat nestled, instantly stirring up dust and making people The flower cat retracted its neck in disgust.

After a long while, the fat cat finally stretched out its paws, and after a stretch, reluctantly got up, and took a long look in the direction where the courtyard door opened.

The cat meowed in my ears, Prince Gong and the man paused in their footsteps.

The two looked in the direction of the sound, and saw a fat cat walking gracefully in front of them.

Before leaving, he still drooped his head, but barely lifted his eyelids, and chose a crooked neck tree next to them.

Then, the flower cat fucked its fat body, and leaped onto the top of the tree with a few quick jumps.

Melaleuca green leaves are falling.

Gu Baozhu huddled in the bamboo basket, through the gap, he could see the robe corners of Prince Gong and the strong man.

Looking up, it is the crooked neck tree above the head and the fat cat stepping on the branch.

Such a close distance is really frightening.

The muscular man's eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at the fat cat with a little chill.

He took out a throwing knife from his waist and was about to shoot in the direction of Fat Cat.

At this moment, Prince Gong twirled the jade finger with his left hand, raised his right arm slightly, and stopped his movements, with a usual gentle voice.

"Seventh Young Master, be safe and don't be impatient—"

"Daxingshan Temple is a quiet place for Buddhism, it's better not to kill here."

When the muscular man heard the words, his eyes flickered for a moment to mock him, and after a while, he looked at Prince Gong with an unruly expression.

Seeing Prince Gong's deep eyes, it seems to contain some deep meaning.

The muscular man was finally willing to lower his eyes to hide his emotions.

He stared fiercely at the branch, his obese body seemed to be crumbling like a tabby cat, as if he had finally listened to persuasion and was willing to let the little beast go.

Seeing the two people's footsteps drifting away, there was a creaking sound of closing the door.

Gu Baozhu exhaled lightly, and looked at the surrounding scenes through the gap in the bamboo basket.

Gently lifted the bamboo basket above his head, then held his breath, leaned against the wall and tiptoed towards the back.

Immediately retreated to the wooden threshold when I came, completely leaving this land of right and wrong.

Gu Baozhu's footsteps became more and more light, and he dared not relax even more.

At this moment, a "creak" sound suddenly came from the silent courtyard.

It's as if a thunderbolt exploded on a silent rainy night!
Almost instantly, Gu Baozhu looked in the direction of the sound.

I saw the fat cat on the crooked-neck tree just now, the branch it was stepping on didn't bear the weight of the fat cat, and it broke in two.

Caught off guard, the unprepared Fat Cat was in a panic, flapping its paws, and fell directly from the highest point of the crooked neck tree.

At the same time, hearing the movement outside, the wooden door of the courtyard opened instantly.

Prince Gong and the strong man quickly stepped out of the wooden door as if waiting for a rabbit.

Gu Baozhu, who was one last step away from crossing the threshold, looked slightly flustered.

She really didn't expect that today's show is really a cat for success, and a cat for loser.

At the next moment, a burst of force suddenly came from the arm and pulled Gu Baozhu to the corner.

Prince Gong who came to the courtyard looked around subconsciously.

The muscular man glanced over, just in time to see the flower cat that fell to the ground clumsily, and the flesh on its body trembled violently twice.

The strong man's eyelids twitched, but he had no time to take care of it. Following Prince Gong's gaze, he looked at the bamboo basket that was shifted from its original position under the crooked neck tree.

They looked at each other with a tacit understanding.

The two looked along the threshold at the corner, and saw a folding fan lying alone on the ground.

Prince Gong bent down to pick it up, and after a while, pointed to the direction where Gu Baozhu left, his gentle voice soaked through the bone-chilling coldness.
