The black-clad men guarding the doorway bowed their heads in unison, not looking at their silly young master.
Song Wangyue said nothing, reached out and gripped the back of his collar, dragging the man into the courtyard.
Song Wangyue came to the door, listened sideways to the breathing in the room, knew that they were all dazed and passed out, and then nodded towards the man in black.
Gu Yi’s body, which had been dragged, slanted and flinched to Song Wan Yue’s side, and was just about to say something –
“Shut up!”
Several black-clothed men’s bodies trembled in unison as they simultaneously looked towards their own young master.
Gu Yi was reprimanded, yet he was not the least bit annoyed.
Not only did he honestly shut his mouth, he also gave the few men in black a supervised glance.
The men in black retracted their eyes in unison.
One of them nimbly took out his dagger, reached into the doorway, plucked the latch open with a few strokes, and then, stepped back.
Song Wangyue let go of Gu Yi and lifted her foot just to go in, but was pulled behind Gu Yi, “I’m in front, you hide behind me.”
Song Wangyue gestured towards several men in black, who immediately dispersed to the woodshed, to the kitchen, and to the courtyard to look around by moonlight.
Gu Yi crept into the east room, and when he stepped in, there was a soft patch underneath his feet that scared him so much that he almost shouted, and his grip on Song Wan Yue tightened violently.
“What’s wrong?” Noticing his reaction, Song Wangyue asked in a soft voice.
“Well, there seems to be something.”
“Don’t you move!”
Song Wangyue squatted her body to touch it and felt what felt like bedding, gesturing for Gu Yi to withdraw, she bent down and yanked the bedding out, taking a look by moonlight, it was the same ones that had been thrown in the courtyard during the day.
“It’s on the floor of the east room.”
At the sound of her words, several men in black quickly gathered over and entered the east room, getting everything out of the floor without even leaving scraps of cloth behind.
Since the key mould had been placed in the hole in the kang, there was no need to check the bedding and clothes and shoes, and all that was left were the rags.
When she reached the first piece, she felt something strange at the corner, so she grabbed it, pinched the corner and handed it to the man in black, “Tear it!
The man in black took it, and with two strokes of his hand, he pulled it open.
The corner of the cloth was torn open and something fell out of it. Song Wangyue caught it with a quick glance and saw that the key was printed on it, “I found it.”
Several men in black picked up the scattered things on the ground and quickly put them back into the house.
Song Wangyue dragged Gu Yi back to the carriage and placed the items she had obtained on the small table.
The carriage was lit, so Gu Yi could see clearly that it was really a key mould!
Her big eyes blinked excitedly, “We’ve really found it.”
“It’s all because of you.” Song Wangyue complimented.
Gu Yi coughed, sat upright and puffed up his small chest, waiting for her praise to follow.
But after waiting for a while, he didn’t hear her words afterwards, so he instantly deflated like a deflated ball, and his pretty big eyes looked at her sadly.
Song Wangyue was looking at the key mould when she noticed his unhappy mood and raised her head to look at him.
“You …… don’t have anything else to say?”
Song Wangyue was baffled, “Say what?”
“Compliment me! You just said it was my fault that you were able to find something.”
“Yeah, it’s your credit, no one is stealing it from you.”
Gu Yi, ……
Is that what I’m talking about? I’m talking about the kind that makes you compliment me, hard.
“Then you ……”
He cautioned politely, “Shouldn’t there be more compliments?”
When he finished, he straightened his small chest again, ready to be complimented.
“Oh, and by the way, you did a very good job on your down today too, thanks.”
Gu Yi, ……
stared into Song Wangyue’s eyes, wanting to see clearly if she was doing it on purpose.
“What’s wrong?”
Song Wangyue was even more puzzled, her eyebrows all wrinkled up slightly.
Gu Yi immediately withdrew his gaze, “Nothing.”
Song Wangyue lowered her head again to look at the key mould, but the moment she did so, she slightly hooked the corners of her mouth.
The carriage drove straight into the backyard of the restaurant, and before it could stop, Song Si greeted her, lifted the curtain and asked, “How was it?”
Song Wangyue handed him the key mould.
Song Si took it in and quickly went inside, taking out the key to his college wardrobe and placing it on top, and it perfectly overlapped!
He clutched the key die in tightly and turned to walk outside, “Yue’er, let’s go find the dean.”
Song Wan Yue stopped him, “It’s too late today, let’s go there in the morning.”
How could Song Si wait until the morning?
He was desperate to let the dean know his innocence, “I can’t wait, let’s go now.”
When he had been expelled from the academy, he had seen the heavy disappointment in the dean’s eyes. He was now going to go and tell him that he hadn’t done the stealing! It was Zhang Huai who had wronged him! He hadn’t let him down himself!
“A key mould alone won’t mean anything.”
Song Si froze in his tracks, “What, what do you mean?”
“This key mould, you said you got it from Zhang Huai’s boy, so you say it is? Why should people believe what you say? Not only do we need physical evidence, we also need human evidence, otherwise, it’s impossible for us to convince the dean and those fuzi.”
It was as if Song Si had had a bucket of cold water poured over him, chilling him from head to toe as he fell into a chair.
^0^ One second to remember [ ]
Yes, he said that this key mould was made by Zhang Huai for the boy, and the Zhang family would still bite back and say that he made it himself.
“We’ll bring the dean …… first thing in the morning.”
Song Si’s eyes lit up again, how could he forget that the two boys were still alive, and they were witnesses.
……
The following day.
Just after dawn.
The doors of the college were rapped.
The gatekeeper was awakened and instantly sprang to his feet, moving quickly to get dressed, forgetting to even ask questions, coming over to open the gate and seeing Song Si standing at the door, his dazed mind instantly cleared.
“It’s you?”
Song Si was a good reader and a beautiful chapter maker, and he was known to everyone in this academy, from the dean down to the people who cleaned. So, after he had done the theft, not only was the dean distressed, but even they, the people, were distressed too.
“I am looking for the dean.”
The janitor sighed in his heart, “Song Si, ah, you’re not a student of the academy anymore, you can’t just see the dean, you’d better go back.”
“I have something to say to the dean.”
“The dean won’t see you, you’d better go back.”
The janitor said, about to turn back around and close the door again.
“This uncle ……,” Gu Yi shouted at him with a smile.
Before the watchman could react, he waved and two big men came forward, one covering his mouth and dragging him to the door.
Gu Yi stood backwards and strutted into the door, “Big brother, go in!”
