Light Keeper

Chapter 361 This Mission Is A Little Difficult 38
Song Shuyun now likes to think more and more, and the time of thinking is getting longer and longer.

Every day before going to bed, she would sit quietly alone for a while and go through today's events over and over again. She always had to carefully consider everything she could think of and make sure there were no omissions before going to bed.

She also knew for the first time why in TV dramas, there would be plots where she was about to go to sleep and then suddenly remembered something.

Because only before going to bed, she has time to calmly recall everything again...

This night, after she recalled what happened today, she was preparing to rest.

There was a sudden knock on the courtyard door outside.

Song Shuyun was silent for a moment, but immediately overcame the irritability she had just felt and quickly got up from the bed.

Now that it is midsummer, the air outside is sticky and warm.

There were constant knocks on the courtyard door, and Yang Yu's voice came.

Song Shuyun gathered her clothes and came out of the house. She suddenly felt that she might lack a concierge, and it seemed disrespectful to always open the door herself.

Soon, Zhang Ji in the room next to her poked his head out and asked in a daze, "Mother, who is it?"

Song Shuyun didn't want to discuss too much with him, so she replied: "It's okay, you can go back to sleep!"

But Zhang Ji didn't want to, and walked out of the house staggeringly, his bunts didn't fit well.

During this period of time, he has grown rapidly, already more than half the head of Song Shuyun, because of long-term exercise and good food, his figure has become more and more like a grown man.

When Song Shuyun saw him coming out, she didn't say anything and asked him to open the door for Yang Yu and led the two of them to the study.

Yang Yu was still dressed in a long gown, sweating profusely from the heat.

Song Shuyun sat down on the main seat, Zhang Ji poured water for Yang Yu, Yang Yu drank it all, and then put down the teacup.

Seeing this, Song Shuyun asked: "Mr. Yang, you came out so late at night, but did you learn any terrible news?"

Yang Yu moved towards Song Shuyun, as if about to say something, then looked at Zhang Ji with some hesitation.

Zhang Ji pretended not to understand and stood there stupidly!
Song Shuyun wanted to laugh when she saw this.

However, Zhang Ji's worries were not unfounded. After all, now that men and women are on the defensive, she is in a den of bandits, which is enough to be criticized. Seeing a foreigner alone at such a late hour does not sound good.

She nodded to Yang Yu and said, "It doesn't matter, you just say it!"

Yang Yu nodded to Zhang Ji embarrassingly, and said to Song Shuyun: "Madam, yesterday I received a message from our restaurant, saying that a foreigner came to eat in the restaurant, listening to the accent It’s from the south, and he ordered all our signature dishes, one person in a private room, and he ordered more than a dozen dishes for one meal, and two jugs of good wine, which cost nearly 20 taels..."

When it came to 20 taels, neither Song Shuyun nor Yang Yu had any reaction, but Zhang Ji beside him suddenly took a deep breath, which startled them both.

Song Shuyun glanced at him, then turned to look at Yang Yu, her eyes beckoning him to continue talking.

"I think it's a bit strange. Our Zhuo County is not as good as Zhaodu. It's not a transportation hub. In addition, it's close to Xun Kingdom. There are a lot of bandits and merchants. We all know the rich local landlords and squires. The origin of this person is somewhat unclear!"

"This man was dressed in ordinary clothes and didn't appear to be very expensive. The shopkeeper was afraid that he wouldn't be able to get the money, so he reported there. Unexpectedly, when he went down to the restaurant, he happened to meet the man after paying the bill and leaving."

"I had doubts in my heart, so I followed him quietly. As a result, I followed him to a village outside the city."

Song Shuyun's expression finally changed at this moment.

"Which Zhuangzi?"

"There is a village outside the west gate. It looks like it is private. It happens that there is someone from us in the Household Registration Department. Let him check it out. This village is under the name of a man named Qian Fu, but this person is not well-known in Zhuo County. , apart from this Zhuangzi, he has no other property.”

The map of Zhuo County immediately appeared in Song Shuyun's mind.

"Is it from Yizhou?"

Yang Yu was taken aback.

"I also guessed in the same way, so I followed it all the time, because Zhuangzi was not close to Zhuojun, so I was afraid of arousing their suspicion, so I went another five or six miles to the Tianshui River in the south, and stayed there for a while before turning back. .”

"Because it was getting dark when we turned back, one of my subordinates who was a good tracker came to find me. On the way back, I thought that nothing happened anyway, so I asked him to go to Zhuangzi to inquire about the news."

"Originally, it was just unintentional, but after this investigation, it was discovered that there are more than 70 courtyards in Zhuangzi, all of which are full of food and supplies..."

Song Shuyun was so shocked by his words that she sat up from her chair.

"What did you say?"

But immediately after that, her head started to work rapidly.

When Yang Yu saw Song Shuyun's reaction, he didn't think there was anything wrong and repeated what he just said.

"No, it can't be from Yizhou. If so many things are transported from Yizhou to the vicinity of Zhuojun, it can't be silent. The only way to avoid being discovered is to raise these things locally in Zhuojun... "

But Song Shuyun thought it was wrong again, and it was impossible to raise these supplies without alarming others.

Only by knowing the details of these people can the rest be decided.

"Is anyone watching over there?"

Yang Yu nodded: "Arranged more than ten people, all from the former cottage, absolutely reliable!"

Song Shuyun thought for a while, then turned to Zhang Ji and said, "Da Lang, hurry up and call Mr. Bai, and say you have something important to discuss."

Zhang Ji hesitated for a moment, but turned around and left immediately.

He didn't close the door, but after going out, he called Zhang Jun up and then went out to invite Bai Qi.

Zhang Jun was sleepy and staring, but according to Zhang Ji's instructions, he came to the study, sat at the door, tilted his head, and fell asleep again.

Song Shuyun and Yang Yu didn't care about him at all, and continued to discuss the source of these materials.

After a while, the sound of 'gululu' was heard, and Bai Qi, whose hair was still a little messy, was pushed in by Zhang Ji.

Zhang Ji came in and didn't let Zhang Jun leave, the study suddenly seemed a little crowded.

Bai Qi saluted Song Shuyun before asking why.

Yang Yu repeated what he had told Song Shuyun before.

"Sir, you must have heard the strangeness of this matter. You invited him here because you are well-informed. I wonder if you have any ideas?"

Bai Qi is not a fool, he immediately understood what Song Shuyun meant, he wanted him to guess the origin of these things along with him, and he was ready to grab it!
Bai Qi hesitated for a moment, and said: "This matter is indeed strange. This group of people has not been exposed in Zhuo County for so long, but they leaked traces at this time, so there is a problem!"

Song Shuyun also said: "That's why I suspect that this person's whereabouts are too deliberate."
