"Big brother, do you have a really good archer in your command?" Luo Wei asked as they walked.
"Yeah," Luo Ze replied, then suddenly seemed as if he thought of something and stopped as he said, "You need really good archer? Are you planning on causing trouble again?"
"No," Luo Wei laughed, "Can you ask them to wait under the north wall of our estate? I have a feeling that in a little while a pigeon is going to leave our estate, let them know to shoot it down."
Luo Ze"s brows furrowed, "What are you really up to?"
"I"m going to have you watch a great play in a little bit," Luo Wei"s smile was very mysterious, "You can relax, big brother, I"m not going to cause trouble, even if I did it wouldn"t be in our own home."
Luo Ze said, "You know I don"t have time to play around with you."
Luo Wei pulled on one of Luo Wei"s hands and swung it back and forth like a spoiled kid playing cute, "Big brother, just listen to me this once."
The hair on the back of Luo Ze"s neck stood up. Luo Wei had never been close to him, never mind acting cute and spoiled like this.
It was already late night. Luo Ze had been hiding behind this door with Luo Wei for a while now, and finally lost his patience. He asked Luo Wei, "What did you actually want me to see?"
"They"re coming," Luo Wei said to Luo Ze as he pointed at a door opposite them.
Luo Ze glanced over, but found it was only one of Luo family"s old servants, Luo Zhi Qiu"s attendant, Luo Zhong.
"He"s feeding the pigeons he"s raised," Luo Wei whispered to Luo Ze.
Luo Ze followed the whisper, "Everyone in the estate knows, you brought me here to see this?"
Luo Wei didn"t say anything and only watched every move the old servant made not too far away. Luo Ze didn"t know what to do, and so he could only crouch by the door with Luo Wei and watch. He"s already regretting that he didn"t tough through this kid"s tactics, and now he"s out here with him.
Luo Zhong"s motions were familiar as he fed the pigeons. Standing beside the cage, he waited for a moment, then brought one of them out. Doing something to it with his hands, he let it go. And after a moment, a pigeon flew back from outside and stopped on the age, cooing twice. Luo Zhong stepped up and caught the pigeon with his hands, reaching for the bird"s left leg.
"Uncle Zhong," Right at this moment, Luo Wei walked behind Luo Zhong and called out for him.
Luo Zhong startled, his entire body froze.
Luo Wei raised his hand and grabbed the pigeon from Luo Zhong. The older man finally came around, looking like he saw a ghost as he stared at the two young masters of the chancellor"s estate. "Uncle Zhong, it"s late, why are you still feeding pigeons?" Luo Wei kept his att.i.tude polite as he asked Luo Zhong, but handed the pigeon in his hands to Luo Ze.
On the bird"s leg, Luo Ze found a tiny bamboo tube.
"Young master Ze," Luo Zhong shouted, wanting to rush forward.
"Don"t move," Luo Wei raised his hand and stopped Luo Zhong, saying, "It"s already gone this far, what else can you still do about it?"
Luo Zho"s face was grey as ash. He didn"t even manage to do anything before two of Luo Wei"s guards appeared out of the dark and held him back by both arms. Even his mouth had been stuffed so he couldn"t speak.
From the little bamboo tube, Luo Ze pulled out a tiny rolled up piece of paper. He opened it and read with the help of the moonlight.
The little slip said, "Luo Wei is acting abnormally, find the reason as soon as possible. What is Chancellor Luo"s plan for the Yu Zhou mining case, send word quickly."
Luo Ze"s expression changed, raising his head as he threw a savage stare at Luo Zhong. This man had served Luo Zhi Qiu since he was young, he was one of the old servants who had watched Luo Ze grow up, how could he be a spy in the Luo estate?
"General," At this time, the archer waiting outside the estate arrived with a pigeon in his hand, the one who had just left the estate.
"Big brother," Luo Wei said, "Let"s go see dad, and lock down the gates. No one can leave the estate tonight."
Luo Ze had no objections. He sent down the order and followed Luo Wei to see Luo Zhi Qiu together.
