So I play chess

Chapter 121: A First Look at the Door
Wen Liang saw that the two seemed to be disturbed suddenly, so he was not in a hurry to leave, but asked calmly, "Where did that person go just now?"

The scholar was about to raise his finger to point, but the girl snatched him away.

The girl pointed to the direction where Cheng Wangshu left, and said "here".

"Excuse me!" Wen Liang saw that the direction was correct, and he didn't see anything new, so he saluted hurriedly, then climbed up to the roof, and chased after Cheng Wangshu.

That scholar was Xu Zhongyan. Seeing Wen Liang leave now, he whispered, "Why did you point him in the real direction?"

That girl is naturally Pleiades. Hearing what Xu Zhongyan said, she snorted disdainfully: "You think he can't see it? If you point him to a fake one indiscriminately, it's good that you have already been taken down by him. If you don't Well, maybe they were chopped off by him on the spot, and I will be implicated by your stupidity."

"It turns out that I am indeed not as intelligent as Miss Su Xing." Xu Zhongyan said sincerely, and then added, "But I just became a brother..."

As soon as Xu Zhongyan spoke, Su Xing suddenly grabbed a cake on the table and stuffed it into his mouth.

Xu Zhongyan was caught off guard, and his unspoken words were stuffed back. Just as he reached out to take out the pastry, he saw more than ten people jumping over the roof one by one, chasing after Wen Liang in the direction he left.

Xu Zhongyan didn't dare to make a sound, he chewed the cake and swallowed it.

The surroundings finally calmed down, but Xu Zhongyan was choked enough, quickly found a saliva to drink, and then said: "Brother Cheng just now... What did you say? The second prince, is he dead?"

Cheng Wangshu acted like this, seemingly to interfere with Wen Liang's tracking direction, but in fact it was to confuse the public and leave some words for the old star to listen to.

When he came just now, he only told about Tang Mingyi's situation that he had heard from Wen Gu, and then led Wen Liang away in a hurry.

At this time, Su Xing was much calmer than Xu Zhongyan: "It seems that the prefect aunt really has some problems."

"Then what are we going to do now?" Xu Zhongyan asked again.

"There is no business for you in the future, you just stay here for a good life. I will come back when I go."

After saying that, Su Xing was about to go out, but at this moment, he heard a knock on the door again.

"The Inspection Department conducts routine inspections, is there anyone in the courtyard?" someone shouted outside.

Su Xing and Xu Zhongyan looked at each other, beckoning him not to show his flaws, and then opened the door, and saw three patrol officers with swords standing outside.

Seeing that Pleiades was young, the frontmost patrolman softened his tone: "Excuse me, there are some villains in the city, we are hunting them down, little lady, please be more careful, if you see anything suspicious, tell us , or go directly to the military inspection shop to report."

While talking, the other two soldiers kept looking in through the gap between the two of them. Xu Zhongyan happened to meet their eyes and saluted awkwardly.

"The officials are working hard, and there is no rice at home. Is it okay if I go out to buy some?" Su Xing asked softly.

"It's okay, it's okay, there won't be any trouble in the city, just go, little lady." The pawn replied.

After the three of them finished talking, they still didn't move away, Su Xing turned back to Xu Zhongyan and said: "Brother, hurry up, if you delay any longer, you will come back after dark."

Xu Zhongyan was stunned for a moment, and then he understood: "Come as soon as you come."

The pawns finally came to their senses and moved out of the way. Xu Zhongyan went to the house to get a cloth bag, and went out with Su Xing.

When the soldiers saw the two leave, they went on to the next place.They are not as urgent as the secret guards, and they can still gossip while doing errands.

Just now when Pleiades talked about rice grains, they complained for a while.

"There was such a commotion the day before yesterday that my parents also went to join in the fun. They ran several times and bought a hundred catties back. Including the previous ones, they will have to eat until the beginning of next spring." A soldier said.

"That's not it, I see from now on, let's not join forces in the yamen, let's go home and eat." Another person replied.

The two of them were gossiping, but the security guard who called the door just now kept thinking about things, and muttered: "Just now, the little lady said that there is no rice in the house?"

"Yeah, didn't you say you want to buy rice? We have to run errands, otherwise I want her not to go to the shop to buy it, but to bring it to my house and buy it cheaply." One person replied.

"No." The person who called the door stopped immediately, "There are not many people in Anningfang. Those who pushed carts to sell food that day, only Anningfang's price did not rise high, because everyone in the workshop bought a lot, and the rest Instead, they couldn’t be sold.”

The other two also reacted, but they were not as anxious as him: "It is true, maybe it was too expensive at the time and didn't buy it."

The gatekeeper shook his head and said: "If it's really expensive, it's fine. I heard from the officials in the workshop that the most expensive here is only three cents more expensive. At that time, it was normal to buy it, but it would be unusual not to buy it."

The other two were not perfunctory and asked separately.

"What do you think?" "Let's go and ask the officials about the situation."

Tell the guards to nod: "We'll do things separately. We'll ask the clerk first. If there's nothing unusual. If there's anything wrong, we'll report it to the inspector first, and then keep an eye on their yard, so as not to make mistakes. "

As soon as the words were spoken, the remaining two people did not make excuses, they were assigned errands, and each acted according to the words.

Here, Xu Zhongyan pulled Xu Zhongyan out of Anning Square, found a small path and walked a long way, but found no one to follow, so he went back to the main road and disappeared among the crowd.

At this time, without losing sight of the house, Wen Gu waited for a long time, seeing that there was nothing unusual, and then started talking with Zhixia again.

"According to what the eldest lady just said, judging from what Cheng Wangshu did, he should be with Tang Xianyao. But if he was really with Tang Xianyao, then this matter shouldn't be done like this ?”

Zhixia finally understood what the eldest lady said.

Wen Gu followed her words and continued: "So when what you do on the surface really doesn't make sense logically, it can only be because there are other reasons inside."

Zhixia nodded half-understanding: "What does Missy think?"

"Let's think about it the other way around, what if Cheng Wangshu was with Tang Mingyi?"

"Then he sent Xu Zhongyan to Tongcheng... I understand!" Zhixia suddenly realized, seeing Wen Gu smiling at her, so he boldly said, "Cheng Wangshu brought Xu Zhongyan to die!"

"Yes. This is the only explanation." Wen Gu said with satisfaction.

"Then we can no longer pretend to be Tang Xianyao's people? Is there any way for Miss to make him think we are Tang Mingyi's people?" Zhixia asked urgently.

"We can pretend to be whoever we want." Wen Gu said with a smile, "But now it seems that this is not the most important thing at the moment."
