Catching the mole
Li Yewu feels that she already loves work, but it seems that everyone in this mansion loves work more than she does.
Unexpectedly, one day she, an overtime addict, would turn around and persuade others not to work overtime.
It’s really thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi.
The title of Queen 996 is probably going to change hands.
…
At night, when everything in Prince Chang's Mansion was silent, a dark shadow appeared again in Prince Chang's Mansion. He walked through the corridor as if he was in a deserted place, and soon arrived in front of the warehouse.
Seeing no one around, the man took out a key from his sleeve and started to pick out the lock and pry the door.
A Luban lock has one key and one lock. For ordinary people, it is impossible to open it without a matching key. But for people who are good at opening Luban locks, no matter what kind of lock it is, one key can open it.
As the man patiently explored, he soon grasped the mechanism, lifted and pried it with a little force, and the lock clicked open.
The man once again made sure that no one was around, and then nimbly dodged into the warehouse.
The warehouse of Prince Chang's Mansion was very large and had no windows to prevent theft.
There is no entrance except this door.
When the masked man came in, he must have closed the door. Once the door was closed, no one could see inside.
He took out a luminous pearl from his arms. As the luminous pearl appeared, the room finally became much brighter.
Xiao Jiuxi's warehouse was empty, and the masked man immediately saw the baskets stacked in the middle.
The so-called herbs worth thousands of gold are still lying quietly in the basket.
The masked man squinted his eyes and approached step by step.
Just when he was about to touch the herbs, there was a loud "bang" and the door burst open.
The masked man was startled and immediately backed away, trying to run away. However, there were no doors or windows around him, and the doorway was full of people holding torches. For a moment, he became a turtle in a jar and was caught red-handed.
Li Yewu walked out slowly surrounded by his entourage.
"Shi Er, why are you wandering around the warehouse so late? Why, are you so curious about what a treasure worth thousands of gold looks like?"
"Are you setting me up on purpose?" the masked man asked with a cold eyebrow.
"I knew there was a spy in our palace. I just wanted to go into the mountains to buy some mountain goods, but you contacted the people in Meihua Village.
Do you know that Meihua Village thought we were going to dig ancient tombs, and we almost couldn’t come back!
Isn’t Prince Chang’s Mansion your home? You’re so eager to sell it!”
Facing Li Yewu's rebuke, the man in black sneered and said grimly: "No wonder the young lady is so angry. It turns out she suffered a loss outside."
"Thanks to you."
Li Yewu snorted coldly and was too lazy to talk nonsense to him and got straight to the point: "Tell me, who sent you here and what they want to do while lurking in the palace. If you tell me well, you will be spared."
Compared to Li Yewu's entrance into the scene, the followers were still a little confused at this time.
Although they had never trusted anyone other than a hundred people, they never thought that one day they would catch spies.
After all, these people are all selected by them and have a clean financial background.
…
Things start when the people from Meihua Village appear.
On the way back, Li Yewu thought carefully about what happened yesterday, and the more she thought about it, the more suspicious she became.
Although Meihua Village is said to have great supernatural powers, no matter how powerful it is, it is impossible to fully understand where they went and what they did.
The only explanation is that there is a ghost in the house.
This is not a good thing.
Of course, Li Yewu was suspicious of the twenty people in front of him at first. After all, they were the only ones who knew the specific itinerary best.
But looking back on our interactions during this period, the clear and stupid looks in these people's eyes that are as clear as those of college students cannot deceive anyone. They are definitely not traitors.
If it weren't for them, then only the people in the mansion would be suspicious.
After all, she originally ordered the old housekeeper to "find trustworthy people to go out to do things in the house." There must be a reason why the old housekeeper found these followers but did not call the house servants.
After they left, the house servants ran out to report the news, which seemed to make sense.
Whether it is or not, you will know after testing it.
So before Li Yewu came back, he came up with a plan to kill two birds with one stone: use the sheep to cover the treasure, and then use the treasure to fish out the mole.
However, in order to ensure that the secret of the treasure was not leaked, Li Yewu fabricated a herbal medicine.
Everything went smoothly afterwards, or maybe it was because the followers had always been simple and clear-minded, so the mole took it lightly.
All in all, the ghost capsized the boat in the creek, stepped on the trap set by Li Yewu, and was stolen.
At this time, the two sides were facing each other.
A pair of thirty, but the masked man was not afraid at all.
What's even more frightening is that after Li Yewu saw through the disguise, this man's eyes suddenly changed.
If his eyes were calm and silly before, giving him the temperament of a handyman, now he is extreme and a little murderous, rivaling the sinister and evil Long Er.
If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, Li Yewu wouldn't have known that a person's aura could completely change just by changing his eyes.
The masked man narrowed his eyes slightly, stared at Li Yewu with interest for a while, and then said
"I hate smart women, except for the little madam. It's a pity that you found out my identity today! It's just that I was too careless to jump into such a shallow trap.
Madam, let’s play again next time.”
As he spoke, the masked man suddenly rushed towards the door.
Like a spring, he bent his knees, held in his strength, and then kicked his legs, he was like an arrow from Li Xuan.
Upon seeing this, the entourage behind Li Yewu quickly took action to pull Li Yewu away, but it was still a step too late.
The next second, Li Yewu was dragged to the courtyard by the masked man, and then she jumped. The man took her and jumped to the high wall.
This man allowed Li Yewu to see for the first time what the Qing Kung of the ancients was all about, and she was completely shocked.
How is this kind of violation of Newtonian gravity achieved?
Just when Li Yewu was shocked, the masked man suddenly approached Li Yewu's ear and snorted coldly.
"Little madam, if I push you down right now, will your flowery cheeks be broken?"
"If you don't let me go, I will let you die first."
When Li Yewu came back to her senses, she wasn't angry at all, she just counterattacked lightly.
The masked man smiled: "Interesting, I thought only men were interesting in this world. I never thought that there are also interesting women. No wonder the little idiot would accept you into the house."
A chill ran down Li Yewu's spine, and his face was full of surprise: "You...what do you mean?"
"What do you think I am doing when I enter this poor man's mansion? Are you really eavesdropping on the secrets of Prince Zhang's mansion? Hehe, you are just such a stupid little idiot. What can you do to prevent me from playing the flute for me?"
"Blow... the flute?" Li Yewu felt that her brain was short-circuited, maybe... it shouldn't be what she thought, right?
The masked man was fine at first, but when he heard Li Yewu ask this question, he suddenly remembered something.
He suddenly squinted his eyes and revealed a hint of cruelty: "You took away the little straw bag's Chuyang, I should kill you!"
