I played as an assistant in ancient times

Chapter 314: Quick Talk

The little black cat outside the window could no longer hear any noise from inside the room, so it climbed up to the window unwillingly, causing the sycamore leaves under its feet to make slight noises.

A strange premonition in its heart caused it to soar over the wall and warn the waiting Shicun.

Just as the two of them were quickly retreating from the alley, the two people in the room looked at each other, and they exerted their strength together, one rushed out the door, and the other broke out of the window, but there was no outsider in the yard.

"I couldn't have heard it wrong just now. There was movement." The man in green looked around the courtyard. This place was one of the strongholds of their Guard Bureau. The others were now scattered in the inner and outer cities doing ordinary work.

The assailant found cat paw prints under the window. He followed the prints to the wall and observed the area before saying, "A cat just ran away."

The man in green frowned and said, "Don't bargain. Leave Beijing as soon as possible."

"But the mission is not completed yet, so let me finish it." The murderer knew very well that if he was sent to the vicinity of Xifan, he would be forgotten in a few years.

The man in green said, "This matter ends here, just as if it never happened."

"No, I can get some lime and sprinkle it..."

"Shut up, do you think people won't be on guard next? Leave quickly, or don't leave at all."

"Yes."

……

The little black cat was not willing to retreat. It finally caught up with the person by scent and kept staring at him.

So after Shicun carried it around for a long distance, it jumped out and meowed at him twice, then turned back?

"Hey!" Shi Cun thought about it and decided to follow him, but just as he reached the alley entrance, he saw the little black cat flying towards him.

When he opened his arms to hug it, the cat had already jumped over him and pounced on Shen Xiaoye and the other two who were following him.

Some residents who passed by took a few more glances at these young men because their clothes were of high-quality.

"I caught him sneaking out of the armory.

Not long after I came here, a very serious man came in. I jumped in and listened to a few words before I stepped on a leaf.

But it slipped away again not long after that. No one in the yard said anything, and it deliberately dropped a few smelly medicine balls, which disturbed my sense of smell." The little black cat was finally able to tell what he knew, even though it used telepathy, which was better than using claws to gesture.

Shen Xiaoye asked in a low voice: "Is there no one else in the yard?"

"No." Otherwise it wouldn't be so easy to be discovered. "The Grand Commander they mentioned reminded me of something. Last year, when I went to the Guards to look for Shen Changsui..."

Shen Xiaoye stroked its fur and listened to it, frowning. The commander of the Guards wanted to ruin his uncle's future? Just because his uncle declined his offer twice.

The little black cat had no idea what she was thinking, and recited to her the two conversations he had just heard and the one he had just heard.

What Shicun said on the other side was roughly correct, but he gave a more detailed description of the serious man who walked in. He had an ordinary face but a strong build, wearing a short blue shirt and seemed to have a weapon on his waist.

Lu Guan interrupted him and said, “Let’s talk about it in detail when we get back. I’ll try to draw a picture.

Most of the courtyards here are inhabited by people we know, so it’s inconvenient for us to stay here, so we can find a small restaurant to ask around.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Xiaoye came over and said, "I won't ask anymore."

"Why?" Shen Cungeng was puzzled, and the other two were also puzzled.

Shen Xiaoye tried hard to find an excuse to cover up, "Since they were able to come here and leave so quickly, it means this place is not that important."

"There will always be more clues. It will definitely be easier to search than that factory." Shen Cungeng did not agree with her statement, and glanced at the little black cat implicitly. The family had known that the cat was different day and night, but there was no need to let outsiders notice it.

People like Lu Guan and Shi Cun are both very smart, and they can't be fooled by saying that the little black cat is smart.

However, he didn't know that when Lu Guan heard Shen Xiaoye's evasive words, he realized that she must have learned the key information from Mao'er.

He said, "It's getting late, let's first..."

But before he could finish his words, an old man led two or three big men and a middle-aged man and rushed over, saying, "Chief, it's them, and the tall one, he's been poking his head back and forth here for a long time." The old man pointed at Shi Cun and said that his behavior was suspicious.

"Who are you? What are you doing here?" The middle-aged leader saw that the men looked decent and did not look like thieves, but one should not judge a book by its cover.

Indeed, there have been many scholars coming to Beijing for the provincial examinations recently, which has attracted many thieves in the market to commit fraud, kidnapping and theft. He has caught no less than five of them.

There is a liar who looks better than the ones in front of me.

Lu Guan bowed and said, "We are here to look for someone, but we don't know where he lives, so we are hesitating here."

"Yes, this old man must have heard that there is a lady from the Yi family who is very good at cooking and lives nearby. Her family wants to hire her as a cook." Shen Xiaoye was talking about Lady Yuan, who was married to Bian Xian. She had met her a few days ago when she went to deliver cloth to the cloth shop.

The old man thought for a moment and said, "You mean Madam Yuan? She remarried after moving away last year.

I heard that she is an official’s wife and you can’t afford her.

And she didn’t live in this lane before.”

This is indeed true. Bian Xiaoqi has been promoted to general flag, which is at least the seventh rank.

Shen Xiaoye bowed and thanked him, "In that case, I have to find someone else."

As the old man nodded repeatedly, the head of the village glanced at him. It was really worrying that neighbors could be coaxed into submission with just a few words.

Seeing that he refused to believe it, Lu Guan saw that two or three big men had blocked their way.

Fighting is definitely not appropriate, he couldn't help but laugh and said: "We have to hurry to get into the city. If the city gates are closed later, we will have to stay in the outer city."

As he said this, he clasped his fists and said goodbye. The village head said, "Everyone, why don't you tell us your names?" He first said who he was, and then looked at several people carefully.

Shen Cungeng sighed, why bother making so much trouble, "Village head, we live in Zhenjiang Hutong, Beijuxianfang.

You might as well ask Shiji Cloth Shop on Zhushi Street in Xiheyan. My family often sends cloth to them.

This one is the son of General Lu’s mansion in Xianningfang.”

After he finished speaking quickly, Lu Guan had no choice but to tell the other party his home address and show the token to the other party. Only then was he able to escape successfully.

But the plan to find someone nearby to inquire was soon abandoned. It was getting darker and darker, and it was impossible for them to spend the night in the outer city. It seemed that they would have to check again tomorrow. Shen Cungeng exclaimed that it was a pity and asked them for advice on what to do next.

On the way home, Shi Cun was thoughtful for a moment, and suddenly said, "Who has the ability to enter and leave the armory at will and be extremely familiar with the inner and outer cities?"

Shen Xiaoye and Lu Guan looked at each other secretly and said, "Leave it to the soldiers to investigate. We can't let our hands and feet be tied.

"Brother Shicun, please find some skilled markers tomorrow, and wait for Fourth Uncle to finish the first exam in three days, and then they will hide in the dark to protect him."

Shicun shook his head: "Markers, they are not like... " He stopped in time and looked around, seeing that most people on the street were busy going home, no one paid attention to him, "Ahem, I will try to find a few with good skills."

The group went back to Lu Guan's house first, but found a master who was better than Master Biao, namely the two Taoist priests Hengxi and Qingxi who had just returned to Beijing from Mobei.

"Two Taoist priests, will you meet the emperor tomorrow or the day after tomorrow?" Shen Xiaoye saw that they were dressed neatly and guessed that they had already washed and dressed.
