Chapter 258 Who was the thief who poisoned the well in the Marshal’s Mansion?
Gu Yiheng sat there elegantly and dignifiedly finishing the barbecue in his hand. Seeing that his wife was sleepy and fell asleep again, Gu Yiheng chuckled and put down the empty skewers in his hand. He took a wet towel and wiped the oil splashes on his hands.
Gu Yiheng walked to his wife's side, bent down to pick up Ye Jiu, and walked back to the carved golden nanmu bed.
He carefully placed Ye Jiu on the bed. Marshal Gu meticulously took off Ye Jiu's embroidered shoes and placed them on the floor. He then opened the light blue brocade quilt embroidered with jade-colored cassia flowers and covered his wife with it. Gu Yiheng pinched Ye Jiu's little nose affectionately. He half-leaned beside his wife and picked up a military book to read.
Under the candlelight, Gu Yiheng's beautiful face with an exotic charm made him look like the ancient god of war himself. He was surrounded by a white fairy aura that was invisible to the naked eye.
Gu Yiheng was wearing a soft white robe, his eyes seemed to be filled with stars. His usually sharp eyes were now filled with tenderness and calmness, and his skin was white and almost translucent, like jade and porcelain.
Under the high nose bridge, the slightly pursed honey-colored thin lips show her bold personality.
After Gu Yiheng won the battle against the reinforcements from the Northern Wilderness, he returned to the imperial capital and was rewarded by the elders.
The dark blue sky was twinkling with stars, and a gust of wind blew the pear blossom trees in the yard.
The old dog lying in the corner looked up at the black fog with evil winds, and whimpered twice in its throat.
The secret guard Xiu Jiu was perched on a large tree, his handsome face solemn. At noon, Xiu Wu came to chatter to Xiu Ba about how Xiu Shi had won a piece of cold soul crystal while gambling on stones the day before yesterday, and he happily upgraded his wife's sword.
There was a small crack on Xiu Jiu's black iron sword, and he also wanted to try his luck at the gambling stone shop. The silver in his pocket was enough for him to gamble more than a dozen times.
He secretly sent a message to Xiu Sandao, who was sitting cross-legged on the eaves:
"Third brother, do you want to go to the gambling stone shop this afternoon?"
Xiu San, distracted, was pondering the words after the line "San Lang Ah..." from yesterday's play. He smiled after hearing Xiu Jiu's voice transmission and said:
"Why, you also want to test your luck like that idiot Xiao Wu? Well, I'll go with you and help you take a look."
The cold and evil Xiu San's eyes were as dark as the sea...
The brothers in the Dark Guards are all living well now. Ever since the general's wife Ye Jiu changed the reward mechanism for them, the pockets of the Dark Guards have become fatter.
At four o'clock in the morning, Da Lu from the kitchen of the Marshal's Mansion got up to fetch water. He was walking on the path carrying a pair of large wooden barrels. Da Lu was wearing a short black shirt and black cloth shoes as he walked on the gravel road. He had a dark complexion...but his small eyes under his light eyebrows were very bright.
Da Lu secretly switched jobs with Li San yesterday. He plans to work for the entire month and then go back to see his mother.
Carrying water was not much easier than his previous job of mowing the lawn.
Da Lu knew that Li San was tired of carrying water.
There was a slight sound of footsteps in the distance, and Da Lu couldn't help but look over curiously.
"Besides myself, who else would be so lazy as to come to this remote well at this hour?"
Da Lu, who was seven feet tall, stood behind a tree and stretched his head to look. Hiss, Da Lu almost bit his tongue. He saw a masked man in black bending down to pour some powder into the well.
"How dare you, you thief?"
Da Lu was angry in his heart, but he didn't dare to say anything and hid behind a tree to watch.
The man in black poured a whole bottle of powder and flew away suddenly using his lightness skills.
Da Lu, with a face full of cold sweat, covered his mouth with his hands. He waited quietly for a while, then quietly came back to find Lu, the kitchen manager. He was so anxious that his throat was a little broken.
"Master, our well has been poisoned. I just saw it with my own eyes. What should we do?"
Da Lu's crying voice also alarmed the secret guard Xiu Liu on the kitchen roof. He appeared directly next to Da Lu and asked for details.
Da Lu was startled when he saw a masked guard in black suddenly appear in front of him.
Looking closely, the man seemed to be a secret guard in the mansion. Da Lu recounted from beginning to end what he saw the man do while hiding behind the tree.
After Xiu Liu found out the location of the well water, he flew away and quickly reported the matter to Xiu Jiu.
The kitchen manager gave Da Lu a sign and asked him to fetch water from the well in the front yard.
Manager Lu frowned and went back to find the housekeeper to discuss how to solve the problem.
Steward Lu, filled with anger, calmly went to Steward Fu's yard.
