Chapter Sixteen (23)

Chu Menglin said, "Huh? Not fun!" She took a wooden boat and saw a slender mast erected on the boat. There was a battle flag connected to the pole. The curve of the flag was slightly raised, showing the wind waving when sailing. Chu Menglin muttered, "This is not good-looking, and there is still a skull." She pinched the hull with her left hand, carved a knife with her right hand and stroked the flag with a force. With a "click", the mast broke into two pieces from the momentum. This time Deshou could no longer bear it and shouted, "Don't move! Put it down!"

Chu Menglin was startled and then said angrily: "Why are you going crazy? You have ignored things outside of your body. You only have work in your eyes. What I did, you shouldn't see! Hurry up, don't be lazy." Deshou said angrily: "You...you..." Seeing that her long-term efforts were broken by her, she almost thought of leaving the wood for a moment and turning to leave. She was moved for a moment, and tears rolled in her eyes.

Duoduo said unhappily: "Menglin, don't mess with others, come here!" Chu Menglin pouted and said: "I didn't mess with you, just supervising him..." Seeing that Duoduo's face was not good, he didn't dare to make trouble again, so he quickly dragged a chair to sit next to him, stretched his tongue to Deshou and made a face. Duoduo said: "Mr. Deshou, please continue." Deshou shook his right hand, knowing that disobeying orders would be of no benefit to him, so he had to continue carving. He wanted to fight quickly, and first sent these two plague gods away, and then repair the two wood carvings.

Hu Wei was pressed against the cabinet, and half of his body was stiff and numb. He knew that the sound would not reach the hall, but he still dared not relax and make a noise. If he was talking outside, he could understand the general situation. At this time, everything was silent, and he always had an illusion in his heart that someone was walking towards the cabinet. The next step was to move the copper bowl and discover the dark room... Those pictures must be the secrets of Prince Yu and also important evidence that Shen Shiyun asked everyone to find. With Chu Menglin's style of cultivating in the Demon Cult for a long time, once she was discovered, she would definitely be silenced. When Deshou was carving, he looked at the pictures in detail. One foot had already stepped into the coffin, and that was even more hopeless.

Fortunately, it is much easier to carve words on wood chips than micro carvings. There is no need to be meticulously carved. Those pictures are curved lines and much faster than words. It took only half a morning to move the pictures on the paper to the wood chips. One picture corresponds to a piece of wood chips, with complete numbers, and the group of numbers that were not cracked occupied a single piece. Deshou put down the carving knife, stacked the pieces, and held them to Duoduo in both hands. Then he dared to turn around, wipe his sweat, and exhale a long breath of turbid air, and he felt exhausted.

Duoduo carefully checked the wood chips. Chu Menglin was scolded by Deshou a few words, and she couldn't get rid of her anger. She suddenly said, "Deshou, when you were carving just now, you deliberately hid a piece of wood chips. What's the point?" Deshou was shocked and said, "I...I...How can you stare at me without blinking your eyes, how dare I play tricks under your nose?" Chu Menglin spat, "Who wants to stare at you without blinking your eyes? Do you think you look good? I was careless and you secretly hid one piece. Who is the order of someone to report to whom to?"

Deshou's whole body was trembling, half angry and half frightened. Duoduo glanced at him and said, "You don't have to be nervous. She will be negligent. I have not neglected and will not easily confuse right and wrong. Of course, if you have any abnormal movement, you will never be able to hide it from me. You did a good job, this is the reward for you." Take out a stack of silver notes and stuffed them into Deshou's hands, and whispered: "Be more scrupulous, don't mention anything today to anyone. Otherwise, you know the consequences."

Deshou said tremblingly: "Yes... I know, thank you, thank you, the prince." Chu Menglin has lived in the palace these days, and she dare not disobey Duoduo's intentions. She likes to tease people and is uncomfortable to suppress it. This time she naturally has to take action with Deshou. She thought that hiding the wood chips is extremely powerful and it is not easy to slander. It is better to say something that cannot be seen on the surface, and she can also make up randomly. Then she said: "Okay, let's count me for a moment. But when you are carving numbers, your eyes are extremely focused and you remember it secretly. This matter has nothing to do with you, so there is no need to waste your thoughts. Whose order was given to me?"

Deshou said angrily: "You are making trouble! You are engraving numbers on the wood chips, and if you don't look at them carefully, how can you engrave them? Then there are many mistakes and misses, wouldn't you blame you again?" Chu Menglin said: "If you say you didn't remember, then you didn't remember." He approached him and said mysteriously: "Do you want to get rich? Do you listen to me?"

Deshou was overjoyed and said repeatedly: "Of course, of course, I will listen to what the girl said more than anyone else." Chu Menglin pulled him aside, so she acted as: "But Prince Yu has also given you a reward. If the price I gave was ten times higher and the things I gave conflict with him, should you continue to be loyal to him, or should you turn to be loyal to me?"

Deshou was determined to pursue "no flaws" and smiled and said, "I am certainly loyal to the prince..." He lowered his voice and said, "I am more loyal to the girl. You sent me to do things because you respect me. I am not willing to say goodbye to the girl!" He promised the same compliment to the three of them within a day.

Chu Menglin smiled slightly and said, "Why be so polite?" Suddenly, her face changed color, and with a "puff", a dagger penetrated Deshou's chest and stabbed into his heart. Deshou was already in his twilight years. After receiving this blow, he did not hum, spit out a few mouthfuls of blood, and died on the spot, lying limply on the ground like a ball of mud. Chu Menglin kicked his waist and scolded, "Shameless things deserve it!"

Duoduo was surprised and said, "What are you doing?" He hurriedly rushed over, turned Deshou's body over, raised his finger and found that he had no breath. He said angrily, "Who is going to let you do this?"

Chu Menglin said righteously: "I'm for your own good. Only dead people will never leak secrets. My father taught me that if you want to be foolproof, you can't keep an insider." He took out the silver notes from his arms and said angrily: "You give him so much money, isn't it better to keep it for me to buy some jewelry?" As he said that, he made various charming postures, and showed that "it's worth spending money to dress her up."

Duoduo was indifferent, just looking at Deshou's body and pondered. Chu Menglin put her hands on his shoulders and said, "I just tried him. This old guy is so greedy for money. Although you gave him hush money, he promised you to keep it secret today. Someone will give him more money another day, but I'm afraid he will say everything."

Duoduo thought that she was not unreasonable, and his anger was slightly reduced, but he was still worried: "He is a close minister favored by the emperor. The emperor will hear the news of his death within a few days. How can he end it?" Chu Menglin said: "That's why he wants to kill him even more. He works around the emperor all day long. The emperor is much richer than you. That's not even more dangerous? Maybe when will he be short of money? Even if others don't mention it, he will come up with a bad idea to use this as a bargaining chip to threaten the emperor. It's better to treat it as a stolen boat. Anyway, after leaving Beijing this time, you plan to raise an army and become the emperor by yourself..."

Duoduo said angrily: "When did I tell you to rebel and want to be the emperor? My original intention was to leave Beijing quietly, conduct open and secret investigations, first find out the truth of that year, and then make plans. Now that Deshou has just died, I left Beijing privately. What do you think of the emperor? He must think that I was fleeing for fear of crime, and it would be inconvenient to act along the way..." He repeatedly weighed the situation in his heart, stood up and said: "I can't help but report the reason to the emperor, and say... I want to send troops to fight, and also worship my ancestors along the way. I lay the groundwork for all kinds of changes in advance so that he will not be suspicious in the future, and I don't know if he can hide it..."

Chu Menglin hurriedly said, "If you can hide it, you must be able to hide it! That's best. He was not careful when he raised an army to sweep the enemy. When he realized that the army was already at the city. I'll go with you, and when you report to the emperor, I will say more good things for you."

Duoduo sighed, "I'm afraid of you, will it be successful? You caused me so many troubles and thought of making trouble in front of the emperor? Let's save money as soon as possible. The words you say are all vulgar words that make people find fault. It's hard to achieve great things. I'm much more sure of going by myself. You can wait for me at Xihuamen and don't have conflicts with others... Forget it, if you have poor self-control, don't let others see you! Just hide on the top of the tenth tree on the left." Chu Menglin replied, "Okay." Class the desktop paper neatly, throw it into the burning fireplace aside, and walk away with Duoduo.

Hu Wei didn't dare to take a breath, and listened to them that they were indeed walking far away. The interval was so long that it was impossible to return to take things again, so he tried to move. He felt that the side of the cabinet was completely lost. He beat the top and bottom up, but it was still useless, so he had to ignore it for the time being. Following Deshou's approach, he patted the head of the doll outside three times, and slowly moved the cabinet away. Hu Wei stood up with the wall, poked half of his head first, and made sure that the two left again

Then he dared to walk out on tiptoe. His whole body was concentrated on his left foot, and his legs became weak. He fell to the ground in a mess. He lowered his spell and got up. He walked into the hall and looked around. He saw a large stack of paper in the fireplace. He rushed forward and wanted to reach out to get it. A wave of heat hit him. He couldn't help but curse himself in a confused manner. He picked up the tongs beside the furnace and grabbed the paper out. After looking through, except for the last one burned out of a big hole and the other one was blackened by the fire, the rest were intact.

It turned out that the paper was super thick after being stacked, and the force was too strong when thrown out, which pushed the fire out. Chu Menglin was a smart person in small matters and big matters, and Duoduo was worried about reporting to the emperor whether it would work. Both of them were extremely smart people, but they didn't pay attention to it because they had their own thoughts.

Hu Wei was overjoyed. When he was hiding in the dark room, he was really frightened and wanted to save his life. Unexpectedly, he not only escaped from danger, but also obtained important evidence and made contributions. He slapped the coal ash on the paper and covered a whole bunch of them into his sleeves. Then he saw Deshou leaning down on the ground, staring wide with his eyes open, and dying with his eyes open. He was as expected by Hu Wei, so he was not panicked, but only felt a little regretful. After looking at him for a while, he sighed: "You got into the eyes of money, but in the end you were killed by money. If you are in the underworld, you will burn more paper money for you. You don't need to pay the silver bills in the sun, so you should give it to me."

Unbuttoned his chest and reached out to grope. After touching for a long time, there was nothing but the few underwear he wore. Hu Wei thought about it and immediately understood, and couldn't help but curse in a low voice: "When Chu Menglin took the silver note, she didn't count the number, and took away my filial piety to the old man, leaving me empty-handed, damn girl, stinky girl!"

In fact, the reason is reasonable. Whenever someone kills and robs money, who will take half of it and leave half of it for the dead on the ground? Hu Weikong made a ruthless look and said to Deshou: "I will chase that witch and I will definitely take back all the money. You are grateful, so I will give me both money. Yes, you can rest in peace, don't stare at me like this." Just as he was about to reach out and close his eyes for him, he saw his shrill face, and his eyes turned and he had a plan.
