Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

Grandma Wang smiled all the way to the dining room, but she did not take Cen Yan away this time.

Obviously, Mr. Cen, who had eaten and drank enough, had no intention of waiting on Ji Wuyan at all. He found a corner with good sunshine and went to bask in the sun.

The grandfather and grandson were sitting in the corridor, chatting for a while. The old lady was talking about the elders, and Ji Wuyan was talking about everything. After talking for a while, the old lady started to rush Ji Wuyan to rest again, but she still had not let go of her thoughts. Although she walked towards the house, she did not forget to tell Cen Yan to send someone to keep an eye on where Lin Yi stayed.

After all, Lin Yi is notoriously slippery and has no definite foothold so far. It might be in the basement of the East Palace, it might be in the wine cellar of a teahouse or restaurant, or it might have been in the secret room of the Taoist Celestial Master. In short, they were all shady places. No different than rats.

Young Master Cen thought the same thing. He snorted with a look of disdain, patted his chest and promised, "Girl, please rest easy! That ugly rat, I will never let him escape again." Come on!" After that, he waved his arms and left.

The old lady looked at it and shook her head, "Let me tell you, how come the child Jifeng has learned to call himself 'young master' in the past two days? This boy taught me how to feel." The child is a little bigger, has a smart temper, and learns things quickly. , learn everything. However, these children are not bad and will not teach this child bad, so the old lady will let them make trouble.

Human beings are only a few years young, passionate, fearless, and dazzling.

Her Xiao Ning... used to be like this too. Mrs. Ji sighed softly, her children... grew up very quickly. Looking at her now, people always subconsciously forget that she is just a teenager.

……

In Dali Temple.

Sanji took Xu Siniang to a secluded courtyard. In late autumn, the courtyard was still overgrown with weeds. The sun shone in the courtyard, but it still felt chilly to the bone. Grass half as tall as a man covered the path in the courtyard. Looking at it, it seemed that it was an abandoned courtyard.

It’s just that for some reason, even though the place is very busy, no one has come to clean it out for people to rest.

Sanji stood behind Xu Siniang. Seeing the other party stop, he did not rush her, but asked her with a blank face, "Mrs. Shen, are you wondering why there is such a desolate place in Dali Temple? You have never been there before, right?" "

Xu Siniang nodded and said calmly, "I am a humble person and I have never been here before... Guard Sang doesn't need to call me Mrs. Shen. It sounds really uncomfortable, as if you are calling someone else. Just call me Xu Siniang."

"Let's call her Mrs. Shen. In this way, I can remind myself to be kinder when talking to Mrs. Shen..." He stood with his hands behind his back, not looking at Xu Siniang, and said "kindly", but his expression was not kind. There was no expression on Zhang Guozi's face. He seemed to be threatening, but also explaining, "This was once a room used by Dali Temple to store corpses. It was only in recent years that the Yizhuang outside the city expanded and this place was abandoned. But everyone in Dali Temple knows this room Naturally, no one would be willing to live here based on its past use.”

Hearing this, Xu Siniang nodded helplessly, absent-mindedly.

She didn't know whether Sanji said these words to scare her or something else, but it was obvious that his plan had probably failed - he used these ghostly words to scare a coward. She didn't know whether it was the prince who was naive or Sanji who was naive. Sanji probably also realized that the woman in front of him was different from the woman next to him, so he raised his chin forward and said, "Go in. The inside has been cleaned. Now that Mrs. Shen can't get out, she has to borrow the ground of Dali Temple." Let’s talk.”

Xu Siniang sneered silently, she was trapped in this place now... After all, who should be blamed? Although he was thinking this, he still raised his legs and stepped forward.

Whether it's a human being or a ghost, you have to talk to find out what your plans are, right?

The house had indeed been cleaned. At least the cobwebs that should have been there were gone. The dust was still there. There was also a strong musty smell in the house. The sun couldn't get in and it was gray. But there were a lot more things, most of them rusty torture instruments, stained with a lot of reddish-brown, dirty marks, maybe flesh and blood, maybe something more disgusting.

It's just... His Highness the Crown Prince underestimated himself. Xu Siniang lowered her head and smiled. These torture instruments must have been dug out from some corner. Most of them are no longer usable. They are just looking at them to scare people. Those who work for prisons also know a little about the torture instruments in prisons. The quantity and regulations are all fixed. If you want to use them for other purposes, you have to report them. Sanji was probably lazy, so he took them. Already abandoned. It's old and rusty. Not to mention being tortured, it's possible that the instrument of torture has not yet been applied to the body, and it is possible that it will fall apart first.

After looking around, Xu Siniang had a rough idea of ​​what she would encounter next, so she found a dusty table and didn't wipe it. She just leaned against a corner and asked, "What does Guard Sang want to ask? Just ask. I am used to being Xu Si Niang on weekdays, and there are no rules for everyone's wives, so Guard Sang doesn't have to be cautious."

He was obviously brought here for questioning, but he seemed to be the guest.

Sanji actually felt an inexplicable pressure on the other party. He was suspicious and worried that things would change. While comforting the woman in front of him, he went straight to the topic, "It's actually not a big deal to find Mrs. Shen today. I just heard that Mrs. Shen used to be accompanied by a kid who was carrying a box. "Sir, I want to know who that guy is and where he lives?" As he spoke, he looked at the other person.

"Young man?" Xu Siniang raised her eyes and raised her eyebrows slightly, with a few fine lines appearing on her forehead. She seemed a little surprised and was in a daze for a while before she said, "You mean him... he made a mistake a while ago and was reprimanded by me for a few words, so he quit. He was not from Yanjing to begin with. Where is he now? But I don’t know. Why is Guard Sang looking for him? But in what way has he offended His Highness the Crown Prince?"

Sanji looked at the other party thoughtfully, and after a long while, he said, "No... I just heard someone say that the boy next to Xu Siniang is very good at craftsmanship. Now that Mrs. Shen can't go out, His Highness the Crown Prince wants to find you." That boy is on an errand... I don’t know, what is that boy’s name, and where did he live before? I’ll go find out.”

The cold wind whimpered in the courtyard.

There was only the sound of two people breathing in the room, soft and slow.

Xu Siniang didn't know why the prince suddenly noticed the "boy" next to her. It had been a long time since Luo Xin had pretended to be that boy.

His hesitation was obviously abnormal. Sanji must have noticed it. Xu Siniang took a steady breath and said slowly, "I don't know what the boy's last name is. He calls himself Xiao Lu. He used to stay at my house. Go west and enter the second alley entrance." Second family, if the prince wants to find him, send someone over to ask, but I can't guarantee whether he is still there or not."
