Before dark, Xu Mingyi and Wu Tsui met again in Xuesheng teahouse.
There were several guests in plain clothes eating tea in the hall. When they saw them coming in, they couldn't help looking more.
They are ordinary and don't know their identity.
When they went up to the second floor, they whispered a few words.
"Gee, I didn't come here for a private meeting..."
Their voices were very low, but they also passed into Wu Tsui's ears.
Being misunderstood like this, the boy didn't feel very angry, but subconsciously paid attention to the reaction of the girls around him.
But she looked calm, as if she hadn't heard it at all.
And then there was a voice downstairs.
"How could it be a private meeting? If it was really a private meeting, how could it be so swaggering in together that they were not afraid of being looked at - in my opinion, they were close brothers and sisters!"
"Yes, I look like it. It looks good. It must be a mother..."
Wu Tsung's expression stiffened for a moment.
He and Miss Xu look like brothers and sisters?
What do these people look at?
But why did Miss Xu smile?
Looking at the girl's smiling appearance, Wu Tsui couldn't help holding the corner of her mouth.
Well, he thought, it seems a little funny.
Instead of sitting on the second floor as usual, they went to the inner courtyard behind the lobby from another staircase leading to the backyard.
As for why I didn't go straight through the front hall just now, it was because I didn't want the tea guests to notice the difference.
"Childe -"
A middle-aged man in a long gray blue shirt walked out of the inner hall and greeted him.
Wu Chiu nodded slightly, "Mr. mo."
This is the shopkeeper of Xuesheng teahouse and the confidant of his grandfather. He was sent to the capital about seven or eight years ago to be responsible for the inside and outside of Xuesheng teahouse.
It can also be regarded as his childhood chess enlightenment teacher.
Seeing that Xu Ming intended to give a gift to himself, Mr. Mo quickly returned it.
The childe told the girl the secret of the teahouse. He already knew it. And the identity of the girl could not be clearer to him.
Although the Xu and Wu families disagree, how illegal they are may be a little different from what outsiders know.
Therefore, he has no prejudice against General Xu's granddaughter.
"Mr. Laomo helped me get something - the house map of Xia Tingzhen's house." Wu Chiu sat down in the hall and explained his intention directly.
"Yes, please sit down with Miss Xu for a moment."
Mr. Mo bowed down and went down to the inner chamber with two hands.
After half a column of incense, he turned back and held a slightly heavy scroll in his hand.
"Please have a look, childe."
Wu Tsui took it and spread it out in front of him.
Xu Mingyi tilted his head slightly towards him, looked at the fineness of the painting on the scroll, and estimated that it would take months to complete the drawing from verification to drawing.
And she suddenly thought of something.
In the secret room of Xuesheng teahouse, I'm afraid they also have a copy of this house map, right?
But such things are inevitable.
"This should be Xia Han's house." the young man pointed his slender and beautiful finger on a house drawn on the scroll.
Xu Mingyi nodded.
Looking at it carefully for a moment, I couldn't help saying, "how does this place seem to have been modified?"
Mr. Mo came over when he heard the speech, looked at it, smiled admiringly and said, "Miss Xu is really careful. There have been some modifications here -"
However, they did not overturn the redrawing, but chose to add and change on the original basis. They also took care to cover it up. It is said that it is easy not to be noticed.
It's really unexpected that old general Xu has a thoughtful granddaughter.
"I remember this modification was made about two or three years ago. After the marriage of the second childe of the Xia family was decided, he opened up a nearby other courtyard and combined the two yards into one, and a small half was built into a garden," Mr. Mo recalled.
Xu Mingyi felt a slight shock in his heart.
"Two or three years ago?"
Xu Su disappeared three years ago and LV married Xia two years ago——
In this way, the expansion and transformation of Xia Han's residence is between these two things
She heard from her grandfather the day before yesterday. He secretly tried and verified it. Xia Tingzhen didn't know much about Xia Han's Secret behavior. It was because she rescued Xu Ying from other hospitals that day that she was so smooth.
In other words, Xia Han hid it from everyone from the beginning, including her father.
If Xu Su's bones are really in Xia's house, if you want to invite a Taoist to come to the door to cast spells and array without disturbing Xia Tingzhen, you need an unsuspecting name as a cover——
The expansion of the house is an opportunity!
Nine times out of ten, Xu Su's body was quietly placed by Xia Han at that time
Therefore, the skeleton is most likely in Xia Han hospital!
Xu Mingyi put his eyes back on the house.
In the end, the purpose of drawing the house map is only to understand the location of various courtyards. It is very rare for this map to be accurate to every bedroom, study, and even ice cellar and water well.
But if you want to see the array layout, it is obviously not enough.
At first, she had told Wu Tsung what Mr. Yao said. At this time, Wu Tsung saw through what she thought and couldn't speak to her, so she said to Mr. Mo: "it needs to be more elaborate. You can draw every plant and tree in Xia Han's yard clearly - can there be people in the building who are good at hiding their tracks and drawing?"
If there had been no dangerous accident on his way to Beijing and Sui Shan was still there, he should have done the job.
Mr. Mo thought and said, "Xiao Qi is suitable."
Wu Tsung looked slightly sluggish.
Why do you think that wherever there is Miss Xu, you will always hear the name of Xiao Qi?
And how can you show him everywhere?
"Xiao Qi is good at painting?" he questioned.
It's clear that he was born in the dark guard and learned quite a lot.
Mr. Mo smiled and explained, "you don't know. Xiao Qi was adopted in this teahouse when he was young before he was incorporated into the dark guard. Because he has a lot of talent in painting and is diligent and eager to learn, he has been responsible for drawing pictures and other things in the building before, and has done very well all the time - the picture in your hand was painted by Xiao Qi and his subordinates at the beginning."
Wu Tsung glanced at the scroll in his hand and felt that he didn't want to listen any more.
Seeing that Mr. Mo seemed to want to boast again, he was busy in front and said: "... Let him."
Yu Guangde saw Xu Mingyi and looked at the picture in his hand again. The boy rolled up the things expressionless and handed them back to Mr. mo.
"You don't have to mention it to your father," he confessed
Mr. Mo smiled knowingly.
You don't have to explain this at all.
You don't have to tell the son in detail about anything related to Miss Xu - he knows.
When they left the teahouse together, it was already dark.
There was no trace of sunset in the west, but a layer of gray clouds were piled up faintly.
……
"My second master, after my second young grandmother came back from Lv's house today, she suddenly had abdominal pain. The doctor came to see her and said she was frightened by turbulence..."
Xia Han came back from the Imperial Academy. As soon as he got home, he heard a bad news from his confidant.
