Chapter 133
If what happened tonight was really arranged by Su Yanran, and no matter what her ultimate goal is, she just killed someone in the Prime Minister's mansion. Will not spare her.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but want to lean over and check to make sure that the slave was really dead.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she squatted down, before she had time to test the slave's breath and pulse with her hands, the slave suddenly jumped up from the ground, which surprised her and sat down all of a sudden. on the ground.

"Damn it, it hurts." The servant raised his hand to touch his neck. Although there were bump marks on his face, he didn't seem to notice it at all, or compared with the pain on his neck, a little scratch on his face was nothing. Already seem insignificant.

He glanced sideways, and suddenly realized that the person beside him turned out to be the eldest lady.

The servant was taken aback, seeing that the eldest lady was alone and did not see Miss Yin He and Nanny Wang who usually accompanied her, and it was in the middle of the night, so she couldn't help asking: "Why is Miss here?"

Su Ruiran didn't answer, but asked instead: "Why are you here? Where are the people here?"

"I don't know, my slave. I was on patrol at night. When I passed by here, I suddenly found that the place was pitch black and there were no lights on. I thought it was strange, so I came over to have a look." He couldn't help feeling guilty when he said this, and looked at the young lady's face. , cautiously said, "The servant knows that the servant cannot approach the boudoir of the eldest lady, so the servant originally wanted to take a look at it from a little distance to see what happened. The servant did not deliberately offend the eldest lady, please also Forgive me, miss."

He finished these words in a tone full of apprehension, but found that his worry seemed to be a matter of indifference to the eldest lady.

Only the eldest lady asked: "Then did you see anything unusual after you arrived in this courtyard?"

He shook his head and replied: "Except that there is no light outside the door of the eldest lady's room, there is nothing unusual. Of course, it may be because the surroundings are too dark. No one has seen this servant since he entered the yard." .Before the servant walked in, he was suddenly knocked out from behind, and when he woke up, he saw Miss here."

"So this lamp is yours?" Su Ruiran's eyes fell to the side, on a lantern that was properly placed on the ground.

The servant nodded.

Su Ruiran suddenly understood a little bit. She saw the light outside the room turned on again earlier, so that's what happened.

"Miss, what happened?" The servant looked around and sensed that something was wrong, so he asked cautiously, "I don't know what happened tonight, this yard seems to be much quieter than usual."

Hearing what he said, Su Ruiran immediately noticed this abnormality, but Su Ruiran didn't answer his question, knowing that she couldn't explain it clearly in a few words, so the most urgent thing now is to find someone to come over immediately, so she said to him She said: "I'll be guarding here, you go find some guards and come over immediately, go and come back quickly."

However, after hearing her words, the other party uncharacteristically did not execute immediately, but glanced behind her, as if aware of something, said: "Miss, don't worry, maybe in this room..."

"Stop talking, hurry up." Su Ruiran interrupted him, shaking her head at him with a nervous expression.At this moment, the man who mysteriously disappeared is probably still in the room, so talking too much and delaying it for too long will actually cause bad things.

The slave seemed to understand, but he didn't intend to leave immediately, but said to Su Ruiran: "If the slave finds someone and leaves the young lady here alone, the servant can't rest assured, the young lady is still with the servant." go together."

Su Ruiran shook her head, frowned and said, "I just stay here, you just need to follow my orders, don't hurry up."

Her tone obviously revealed a little anxiety. In this situation, if there is an extra quarter of an hour's delay, there will be more variables.

"Yes."

Hearing that the servant finally took the order, Su Ruiran breathed a sigh of relief.

Su Ruiran picked up the lantern on the ground and handed it to him. The servant was only a year or two older than her. Although her face was still covered with dust, her skin was fair, and her appearance was somewhat outstanding, but there was a tinge of brilliance all over her body. He has the temperament of a weak scholar, and he doesn't know martial arts at first glance.

Although I don't know why he came to the mansion to be the servant, but if every lantern in his hand illuminates the way in this dark night, I'm afraid he will be thrown to death before taking a few steps.

The servant refused to accept the lantern in his hand, and said: "Miss stay here alone, if there is no lantern, wouldn't it be even more frightening, this lantern should stay here, I will just walk like this Just call someone."

"Stop talking nonsense." Su Ruiran stuffed the lantern into his hand involuntarily, and said to him, "If you are really worried, go and come back quickly. If you delay the time, I will not spare you. When the time comes The family law is absolutely unambiguous."

The servant didn't seem to be joking when he heard what the eldest lady said, so he trotted away with the lantern in hand without saying a word.

But the servant said, "Miss,"

Su Ruiran waited outside the door by herself, gently pressing the door with her left foot, and at the same time carefully paying attention to the movement inside the door.There was silence in the door, but there was no sound at all.Although the window of her boudoir is next to the water pavilion, it is not impossible to escape by jumping out of the window, but until now she has not heard any sound of water, so she should still be in the room.

Not long after, the servant came back panting and trotting with a lantern in his hand.

When Su Ruiran saw him, she couldn't help frowning: "Why are you alone?"

The servant replied with a sigh of relief: "Go back, if you go back to Miss, I've searched all over the place, and there's no one there. I'm worried about Miss's safety, so I came back first."

Su Ruiran was even more surprised when she heard the words, no one, how could this be possible?

Although the mansion was indeed very quiet tonight, how could it be possible that all the people in the mansion disappeared in just a moment?She still couldn't believe it, and couldn't help but ask, "Are you sure you've searched around?"

The servant nodded with certainty and replied: "It's absolutely unmistakable."

What's going on here... Su Ruiran's face changed slightly, and the surrounding atmosphere suddenly became weird.

The cold wind of the night blew past the two of them, the servant shivered, and immediately got goosebumps all over his body. He quickly rubbed his arms with his hands, and couldn't help but asked: "Miss, are we running into ghosts?"

Another gust of cold wind blew by, and Su Ruiran also had goose bumps all over her body. Hearing such words in such an atmosphere would only make people feel more frightened.Su Ruiran frowned and said: "Don't talk nonsense, where did the ghost come from?"

She is not afraid of ghosts and gods, but the facts tonight are too strange.

But the servant said more and more seriously, and only heard him say: "Really, I have also read in the book that those who go up the mountain to cut firewood late at night will encounter such similar things, such as suddenly encountering noisy people in the mountains. market, or suddenly all the companions around me disappeared, Miss, do you think we will do the same?"

After hearing what he said, Su Ruiran immediately retorted: "How is this possible? I think you have read too many books and are stupid. How could such a thing happen in the mansion."

And just as she finished speaking, she suddenly heard a "clang" sound from the room, like the sound of a gold bracelet falling to the ground, it sounded a bit crisp.

The two looked into the house at the same time, although they couldn't see anything through the door and window.

The servant swallowed, and stretched out his hand to push the door open. Su Ruiran was taken aback, and grabbed his wrist all at once. Under such an atmosphere, her voice was inadvertently lowered: "What are you doing?"

"Go in and have a look." The servant's voice obviously had no intention of her. Although it was just four simple words, one could vaguely hear a bit of trembling from his tone. It seemed that he was equally nervous.

The room had been quiet for too long before, but now there was a sudden sound, not only him, but even Su Ruiran was surprised.Thinking that the reason why I escaped from the room before was to avoid putting myself in danger, it would be more appropriate for the guards in the mansion to deal with this person.

But now the nearby guards suddenly disappeared, so he had to go out in person.It seems that there is more than one person helping the other party. If you want to find out what happened, you must first find out the people in this room.

Thinking of this, Su Ruiran gestured to the servant beside her, signaling him to go in with her.

The servant nodded, and then Su Ruiran reached out and slowly pushed the door open.

The servant held a lantern to show her the way, she crossed the threshold with the hem of the cloak in one hand, and hid under the cloak with the other hand to hold the dagger.This is her trump card, it will only be revealed at critical moments, and at that time, the enemy can be caught off guard.

The room was illuminated a little bit, but it was still the same as when she left before, and the furnishings were all placed in the same place, without even the slightest trace of being moved.

Su Ruiran's gaze quickly fell under the bed, the hiding place of the person she had suspected at first.But now she was surprised to find that something had fallen on the ground.

She immediately walked over, followed by the servants beside him.

When she reached the bed, she stopped, squatted down, and picked up a palm-sized, slender semi-circular copper hook from the ground. She looked up again, and sure enough, the copper hook that was used to hook the gauze curtain was missing from the bed rail. .

Sure enough, there were indeed people in the room.

Her gaze suddenly fell on the dark red curtain covering the bottom of the bed, so at this moment, is he still inside?
Watching and watching, gradually, she focused all her attention on the big red curtain covering the bottom of the bed.The originally dull red suddenly became brighter under the reflection of the fire, which made people more nervous.

She bent over and stretched out her left hand towards the curtain, but her right hand was still hidden in her sleeve and was holding the dagger tightly, her curved spine was like a bow and arrow ready to go.

Soon her left hand grasped the curtain, and she was about to lift it all at once with all her might.However, at this moment, he suddenly felt a pain in his neck, as if he had been hit hard.She knew it was wrong, but it was too late.

With a "bang dang", the dagger hidden in her sleeve fell to the ground in an instant, and she fell to the ground. Just as she was about to faint, she tried her last bit of consciousness to turn her head.Under the warm light of the lantern, the slave, no, it should be the young man, was looking down at her at the moment, with a faint smile on the corner of his slightly raised mouth: "I won."
