Chapter 11 The thief in the heart, the thief in the heart

"Is the news true?"

On the way to the palace, Chen Cuo asked again.

Chen Hai regained his energy and hurriedly said: "The news was revealed by the villain's elder brother. As soon as the villain knew about it, he immediately came to report it. Right now, not many people in the palace know about it!"

Chen Cuo glanced at him unexpectedly.

He could hear the call for credit and flattery in his words, but the scene from a few days ago was still vivid in his mind.

Chen Cuo has ups and downs in his previous life and has a lot of experience. He will not take it lightly because of this. He just vaguely guessed that Chen Hai's change was also the influence of the reputation brought by the popularity of "Painted Skin" Jiankang.

"It's the Northern and Southern Dynasties. Fame is sometimes useful."

With a sigh in his heart, Chen Cuo paid attention to the theft of the palace again.

After a few days of hard work, the purpose was to build up popularity, and then obtain medicinal pills or ink cranes. As a result, I finally saw the dawn, but this goal was lost. No one can take it as usual. Since Chen Hai cooperates like this, he Of course you need to ask a few more questions.

It is a pity that although Chen Hai expressed his intentions, his knowledge was limited. After saying a few words, he did not dare to deceive, and truthfully said: "The specific situation is not clear, but I heard that the old lady ordered that the news of the theft of this medicinal pill cannot be announced for the time being. Mr. Zhou."

Chen Cuo nodded.

The Taoist priest Zhou Youzi was very arrogant. When he first came to visit, the two boxes were directly handed over to the palace. As a result, they were stolen within a few days. Let’s not talk about the value of the stolen goods. Wang Fu's face couldn't hold back.

"But in the end, my cheap old mother attaches great importance to medicinal pills and ink cranes. There is no reason to be negligent. She must have sent a lot of people to guard and inspect, so they can all be lost, and it is very likely that the crime was committed internally..."

Chen Cuo thought to himself and tried to find the context, but to his surprise, he thought he would have to go through a lot of twists and turns to find the clues, but he did not expect that when his group arrived at the palace, news would immediately reach Chen Hai. , Said that the thief had already been caught!
"Sure enough, it's a thief!"

As soon as he got the news, Chen Cuo asked for the details, intending to get enough information before meeting Chen's mother.

"It's day and night defense, it's hard to prevent thieves! He actually stole the head of the master's head, not a son of man!" Chen Hai hated this person very much, "The one who committed the crime was the one who waited on the day that Mr. Zhou came to the house. Famous Ding, how shameless! That day, the elixir appeared on the face, and the room was full of fragrance, which aroused this person's greed. Although the old lady disperse the crowd in time, she failed to suppress this person's courage! She actually did such evil things! It should be slashed by a thousand swords!"

Seeing what he said by mistake, Chen knew that it was not a disguise, because the incident was committed by an internal thief, and it involved the manager of the house, that is, Chen Hai's elder brother Chen He.

He didn't care, just asked: "Since the person caught it, is the stolen thing still intact?"

"This, the villain really doesn't know, and we have to wait for news."

While the two were talking, Chen He had come over and respectfully informed Chen Cuo and asked him to enter the back house to meet Chen's mother.

Seeing the appearance of this big steward being neither happy nor sad, Chen Cuo deeply felt that this person had extraordinary determination.

As soon as his thoughts changed, he fell. What he really cared about at the moment was what happened to the stolen medicinal pill, so he hurried to the backyard.

When he arrived at the hall of the back house, Chen Cuoxian saw Chen's mother sitting on the main seat, her face ashen, with Kong Wu's powerful family guards standing on both sides.

In front of Mother Chen, there was a person kneeling.

This man was shirtless, with patches of green and purple on his body, and there were a lot of cracks in his skin. He knelt on the ground and shivered.

Chen Cuo stepped forward and saluted, but Mother Chen just nodded lightly, still looking at the man with anger.

Chen Cuo looked at the person, and still had a little impression in his heart. He seemed to be waiting in the hall that day, not far from himself, but before he could think about it, Chen Cuo's eyes froze and locked on Chen's mother's hand——

There was an open wooden box on the table, and inside was a mass of broken things.

At first glance, it looks like broken mooncake scum.

But Chen Cuo's heart was instantly cold.

Tongming Dan, broken.

In order to verify, Chen Cuo deliberately sniffed, but did not catch the slightest scent in the air.

"Madam, spare your life! Forgive your life! Little, the little one was obsessed for a while. Since I went to the teahouse yesterday, I have been distracted and confused. Maybe someone has been drugged!"

The witness of the crime kowtowed again and again, and the blood on his forehead was blurred.

"If it wasn't for the medicine, how could the villain be so daring? It's not the villain's original intention. It was because he went to the house in a drowsy state, and when he woke up, he took the elixir. …”

The man kept kowtow on the ground, begging for mercy.

Snapped!
"You bastard! How did you raise such a white-eyed wolf!"

Mother Chen was out of anger and slapped the table with a slap.

"Spare your life? How much is your life worth? Ten of you are not worth the preciousness of this thing, but as long as any medicinal pill is damaged, it will have no effect. Look! You! You!" As she continued, her face turned pale and her body swayed.

Everyone in the room was startled, and a few handmaids who were close hurriedly stepped forward, rubbing their chests and beating their backs.

Chen Cuo couldn't help but go to help, but halfway through, Mother Chen breathed a sigh of relief and recovered.

Chen Cuo stopped his movements, and his eyes fell on the broken pill pills again, secretly regretting.

"Mother Chen is a noble lady and has a lot of knowledge. He said that the broken pill is invalid, and [-]% of it is not fake. It's a pity. "

Suddenly, his thoughts were stagnant, and a flash of light flashed, and his heart was jumping up and down!

Since the pill is broken, if the time to break does not exceed an hour, doesn't it mean that...

"I have a chance to put this thing in Mengze? Once you enter Mengze, you can recover!"

Chen mistakenly touched his arms.

The little gourd was lying quietly inside.

Immediately, his thoughts cleared up.

"If the pill pills are collected, as soon as they enter the dream, they can be reorganized immediately, but I don't know if they have any effect in the dream. Zhou Youzi said that this pill can be wise, and it is a breakthrough for the cultivator. The help of the magic, but it is quite tasteless for ordinary people, but if you enter the dream, swallow it in a dream, and if you can understand the mind, you can keep copying it. Cool!"

Thinking of this, he almost couldn't hold back and took out the gourd on the spot. Fortunately, he was sensible and forcibly held back, but his thoughts became more and more detached.

"Zhou Youzi also said that Danwan and Mohe are only one of the two, but if I received the Danwan, if people didn't expect it to be used up, I might still be able to get the Mohe. After all, the one who received the Danwan was the gourd. , what does it have to do with me? I can go and get that Mohe, that's all! The biggest question now is how long this pill has been broken, don't exceed an hour!"

"Jiro! Erlang!"

Just as Chen Cuo was thinking of beauty, he was suddenly recalled by a voice full of anger. He followed the sound and saw the angry mother Chen.

"I called you, why didn't you pay attention? Do you still hold grudges about what happened before?" Mother Chen looked at Chen Cuo with a bad tone, "That day you delayed the business, you should have been punished, and you were faceless and didn't know how to advance or retreat, but The old man didn't pursue it, but now you want to hold grudges instead?"

Chen Cuo suppressed his dissatisfaction and cupped his hands: "I don't dare, the boy is just thinking about whether to tell Mr. Zhou about this pill pill." He glanced at the broken pill pill with eager eyes, but in public, he really wanted to. If you accept it in public, you will have endless troubles.

If you want to succeed, you have to find a reason to be alone with Dan Wan, or at least get close, so that you can take advantage of other people's unpreparedness and get into the gourd.

Mother Chen was sad when she heard the words.

Seeing this, Chen Cuo seized the opportunity and asked left and right: "When did this person seize it? How did the medicinal pill shatter?"

Chen Hai just walked outside the door, and when he heard the words, he immediately folded his hands and stepped forward: "Reporting to Junhou, the whole mansion was searched before, but this person couldn't hide in time. He was trying to run away with something, but he was stopped and pulled with him, and the wooden box fell to the ground. The pills were broken because of this."

"How long has it been broken?" Chen Cuo raised his heart.

"About half an hour!"

Chen Cuo's gasping voice became a little rougher, and his heart became more and more agitated.

Still within the time limit!

be quick!

Otherwise, if it exceeds an hour, you will miss the opportunity!

He hurriedly said to Mother Chen: "Since the time is not long, it is better to report to Mr. Zhou, maybe there is a remedy."

Mother Chen showed a struggle, and finally nodded sullenly, and said to Chen He: "Please come over, sir, and tell him."

Chen Cuo wanted to take the pill and go there in person. If the time was short, he would take a chance to earn the gourd halfway. When asked, he would find a reason to shirk. After all, he could not find it in the gourd!

It's an adventure, but it's worth it!

But Mother Chen had an arrangement, but he couldn't insist on it, in order to prevent others from becoming wary and suspicious.

------

"Things are fixed, and someone needs to urge them."

In a clean, tidy and elegant room, Zhou Youzi sat cross-legged on the bed, his eyes closed lightly, his hands fell to his knees, his fingers flicked gently, and then he slowly exhaled.

The gas condensed and did not disperse, like a long snake.

Suddenly, Zhou Youzi flicked his sleeves, got up and came to the table, picked up the teapot on the table, poured a cup of tea, and opened an article at hand.

At the beginning of this article, the word "painted skin" is written impressively.

"Sure enough, I still have to experience the world before I know what is true and false. I was selected because of my relationship with King Nankang. I have to go down the mountain to find the reincarnated fairy boy who is guarded by Linghe. The three ladies in the palace are accompanied by Linghe, they should be reincarnated. I didn't expect that there would be such a variable as Linru County Marquis! Previously, he was insufficient in merit and no one thought of him, but when this article came out, not only will some people think about it, I am afraid there will be other involvements, even if it is not him Taking the opportunity to set up the incense root, someone also made him a chess piece, and the evil ghost painted the skin...the painted skin evil ghost...hey!"

Hehe smiled, Zhou Youzi raised the cup with his left hand, drank the tea in one gulp, and flicked his right hand, the article in his hand spontaneously ignited without fire!

"Ignorance and fearlessness, these people's thoughts gather and promote, maybe they really want to take advantage of the situation, turn the false into reality, and even turn against the customer! But since I am here, I have to do it."

His lips moved lightly, and in the burning article, a ferocious blue-purple face flashed.

"Well!"

Suddenly, Zhou Youzi shuddered and groaned, his hand was full of fire, and a piece of talisman paper burned to ashes in the blink of an eye.

"I still look down on that monarch, this article has such accomplishments! Could it be that he is blood relatives with the reincarnated fairy boy, and won his blessings? I can't control the thoughts gathered in the articles for a few days! But it sucks!"

His eyes were surprised, and he reached into his arms, as if he was about to take out something.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

Chen He's voice then entered the room: "Sir, my mistress has a request."

When Zhou Youzi heard this, he stopped and raised his voice, "This will pass."
