Chapter 326: Three Chess Games
"In fact, I don't have a very deep memory of her. I was only about five or six years old at that time. I was locked in a cupboard all day long. No one could see me. When I was sleepy, I would sleep in the cupboard. When I was hungry, I would quietly eat fruits and cakes on the table.
She never forced me to do anything, but the only thing she did was not allow me to leave the house without permission. She threatened me that if I was discovered, I would be beaten to death with sticks.
He didn't understand at the time, but he remembered what she said and never went against her wishes.
He couldn't remember what happened after that.
"As for her appearance and age, I don't have much impression." An San was immersed in his memories, "I only remember that her embrace was very warm, but there was always a very strong fragrance at the tip of my nose. The fragrance stimulated me to sneeze, and every time this happened, she would cover my nose."
That's all he remembered.
Yuan Qing wrote them down one by one.
Although it doesn't seem like much, it contains very important information.
After returning, Yuan Qing thought about the conversation with An San carefully several times.
After she had recruited An San, she had already heard from him some clues about the woman he wanted to find.
At first she was also a little confused.
How easy is it to find someone aimlessly like this?
This matter has always been a concern in the third brother's mind. He is not like the sixth brother Wei Lin, who just needs to find evidence directly, nor is he like the ninth brother Xiao Xiao, who has a clear mission goal.
Yuan Qing spread out the paper and combined the third brother's clue with the inspiration that suddenly came to him in West Market a few days ago.
Now, there are a few characteristics that can be grasped about that woman.
Wearing perfumed powder all the time may be related to a certain profession.
This was what she suddenly thought of when thinking about Haruyuki.
When Haruyuki first approached her, he had a very strong scent on him.
Then she looked at the palm of her hand again.
If the girls are very valuable, their skin must be very delicate, and any injury to them would be a huge loss.
Even musicians who make a living by playing musical instruments will have very unique thick calluses on their hands.
Chunxue is neither of those things. She is just a simple servant in a brothel who does odd jobs and doesn't even have the qualifications to be listed.
At the same time, because she stayed in the brothel all year round, even if she didn't need to be served, the fragrance would accompany her day after day and it would be difficult to get rid of it even if she took a bath every day.
This is one of the key points of the discovery.
Of course, ordinary women could also put on makeup.
It's just that she is more inclined to the former now.
Secondly, An San said that before he escaped, he had never seen anyone other than the woman who supported him every day, and even his daily life was spent hiding in the dark.
This also means that the woman does not want others to know his existence.
This way, there are more options to choose from.
This point cannot be concluded yet.
Third, he said that the last time he saw the woman was one night, and that night there were noises of crying and shouting inside and outside the house.
His description was a bit disorganized. He just kept saying that it was a very noisy day, and it seemed like all kinds of noises were rushing into his ears.
The woman just sat at the table blankly without looking back at him.
He remembered that he wanted her to hug him, but she had a cold face and told him to go back.
He was sad for a long time, then he hid in the closet and sulked, and then he fell asleep while crying.
When I wake up again, I won't see her anymore.
Yuan Qing wrote the word "noisy" on the paper.
Noise can represent many things, such as happy events, funerals, chaos, etc.
This kind of noisy scene is likely to occur in any large event.
This range has therefore become larger.
She put away the paper and pen, deciding to wait and see, as this matter could not be rushed.
……
After a morning court session one day, Wen Chengyu suddenly asked Yuan Qing to stay.
Yuan Qing watched him sitting there handling government affairs through a curtain.
Wen Chengyu asked inside: "Can you play chess?"
Yuan Qing was stunned for a moment, then replied, "A little bit."
"Come here," Wen Chengyu's voice sounded very tired, "Play a game with me."
Yuan Qing could tell that he was not in a good condition at the moment, so he didn't want to disturb his rest.
This is not only because he is a member of the Yuan family, but more importantly, he is the emperor who controls the entire Yuan Dynasty. He cannot make any mistakes at such a critical moment.
"Let's wait——"
"Come here." Wen Chengyu repeated.
These two simple words made Yuan Qing once again feel the pressure that only belonged to an emperor.
Even if we are not face to face, we can still be shocked by this kind of pressure.
When Yuan Qing entered the hall, he saw that Wen Chengyu had already set up the chessboard.
Yuan Qing sighed silently.
It seems that I can't avoid this.
Although I have learned Go before, that was just for fun from my elders. It was out of interest, which is completely different from this.
Wen Chengyu's eyes fell on the chessboard, "Black or white?"
Yuan Qing sat down, straightened his robe, and said casually, "White Zi, please."
Wen Chengyu pushed Bai Zi in front of her and said, "You go first."
It sounded gentle, but the tone was still unquestionable.
Yuan Qing silently picked up a chess piece and placed it on the board.
She chose the corner of the board close to her hand, which was the most common opening.
Her chess moves were standard and she soon fell behind.
Wen Chengyu won the first game easily.
Wen Chengyu packed up the chess pieces and didn't let her leave. "You didn't try your best. Try again."
Yuan Qing had no choice but to sit back.
She tensed herself and started the second game.
After half the game, each of them had occupied a considerable territory.
The two sides have fallen into a stalemate, and this is the most critical moment. If you are not careful, you may lose everything.
Wen Chengyu took the tea beside him and drank it. "Why, are you so restrained by thinking too much?"
Yuan Qing calmed down and took away the three black pieces first.
Wen Chengyu ignored him and raised his hand to look elsewhere casually, "You are careless because you are looking ahead and behind.
Yuan Qing's five white pieces near the edge of the board were left with only one breath left. If he continued to fight, they would be taken away. The tense situation just now suddenly widened.
The black piece turned the tide and firmly held the corner.
Without a base, all the white pieces nearby would face the danger of being surrounded.
Yuan Qing hurriedly helped them escape.
Wen Chengyu followed slowly and attacked from another point. "If you fall into a passive position and rush to make up for it, you will have a bigger flaw."
The black piece is like a sharp sword, piercing straight into the white piece.
Here the advantage has been lost.
Yuan Qing put down his hands and looked at the whole board, only to find that most of his chess pieces had already become Wen Chengyu's possession.
Even if he had a backup plan, it would still be difficult to reverse the situation under such circumstances.
Being eaten is only a matter of time.
Yuan Qing threw the chess piece back, "I lost again."
