Volume 1 Life is Difficult 018 Mystery
Shen Muzhi, who hurriedly ran out of the Beauty Garden, did not immediately go far, but found an inconspicuous corner nearby and hid in the darkness.
He wanted to wait for Third Brother Yang.
The little guy in the Li family's business said that Third Brother Yang had a good relationship with this picturesque girl.
When he entered the picturesque girl's room before, her reaction seemed to indicate that at least the third brother Yang should be a frequent visitor to her.
Now, his favorite girl is gone, I wonder if he will remember the past and come over to take a look?
Shen Muyi stared at the gate of the Beauty Garden, which was gradually deserting, and reached out to touch his chest from time to time. There were the letters from the picturesque girl just now.
What is written in the letter, he does not yet know.
It's just that, judging from the way the picturesque girl turned around and jumped off the windowsill, there may not be anything he wants in these letters. However, he still couldn't help but hope that in these letters, there would really be something he wanted.
In fact, about the last jump of the picturesque girl, calm down at the moment, think about it carefully, there are still many things that I don't understand.
This picturesque girl is not stupid, it is not difficult for her to save her life in the hands of Shen Muzhi, since she already knows what he wants, then as long as she insists on saying what she knows, then Shen Muzhi will definitely not kill her in order to find out about the eldest brother, plus to find the third brother Yang through her.
But she, while telling Shen Muzhi that she knew something, turned around and jumped out of the window without hesitation.
This approach made her, who was already full of doubts, once again covered her with a layer of fog.
Shen Muzhi couldn't help but think of the tears rolling across her face......
Is it true?
If it is true, then what is the relationship between her and her eldest brother?
What is the relationship between her and Brother Yang?
What does the eldest brother have to do with her being captured before the battle?
These questions filled Shen Muzhi's head, like a mess, and he couldn't figure it out.
Time passed little by little, and after the last prostitute walked out of the gate of the beauty garden, the door slammed and closed with resentment.
With this picture, it is estimated that the business of this beauty garden will be greatly affected for a long time.
Shen Muzhi was still squatting in that corner, continuing to wait patiently.
After another moment, suddenly a carriage ran out of the alley behind the beauty garden. There was a young man driving in front of him, and he seemed to be a little flustered when he saw how quickly he flung his whip. Behind him, on the flatbed, lay a man with a white cloth covering his head and feet. On the white cloth, there were faint traces of blood.
Shen Muzhi only glanced at it and determined that the one pulling in this car should be the picturesque girl.
It's just that when he was alive, he was worth at least a hundred taels of silver overnight, but he didn't expect that he was dead for less than an hour, and he was dragged away like a dead pig with a flatbed truck and a white cloth.
Shen Muzhi sighed for a while, seeing that the carriage was getting farther and farther, he hesitated for a moment, quietly left the corner where he was hiding, jumped onto the wall, and quickly chased in the direction where the carriage left.
The car went all the way to the gate of the north city, and the street was empty in the middle of the night. The fast-turning wheels rolled on the potholed stone pavement, and there was a constant clicking sound.
It didn't take long for the carriage to reach the vicinity of the North City Gate.
Seeing that the groom was still driving at a reduced speed, it seemed that he was going to leave the city overnight.
On the wall, Shen Muzhi, who was dotted from afar, suddenly hesitated when he saw this situation.
If you continue to follow, you will be easily discovered by the soldiers defending the city when you go out of the city. He is now embarrassed, and if he is discovered, he may not be able to stay in the weighing.
But if he doesn't follow, there will be no clue about the picturesque girl in the future, and he will want to find that Yang Tianbao next, but he can only wait for the rabbit!
Shen Muzhi couldn't help but feel a little dilemma.
At this moment, in the shadows under the eaves of a shop beside the street, a man suddenly rushed out of the thorn and jumped in front of the carriage with a vertical leap.
The driver of the car was taken aback, and the reins in his hand were pulled violently, and the horse pulling the cart was frightened and pained, and after a long neigh, the horse's head twisted, and rushed to the side.
The body of the board car behind suddenly tilted over, and the body covered with the white cloth on the board car suddenly rolled down.
The man in black who suddenly rushed out didn't pay attention to the coachman, but stepped forward directly, scooped up the body that had fallen to the ground, threw it on his shoulder, and rushed into the alley next to him without looking back.
The coachman finally took hold of the reins and calmed down the horse, and when he turned his head, he saw that the body of the picturesque girl was gone, and he immediately cried out.
The gate of the north city was not far away, and the soldiers guarding the gate heard the movement and rushed towards this side.
And Shen Muzhi on the wall had already followed the man in black and chased him into the alley.
In the alley, the man in black carried the body of the picturesque girl and ran fast. Shen Muzhi didn't dare to get too close, for fear of being discovered, so he could only stay away. Unexpectedly, after this man in black walked around the alley, he finally went to a place that Shen Muzhi was familiar with.
A ruined temple in the west of the city.
As soon as the man in black entered the ruined temple, he threw the corpse he was carrying on his shoulders to the ground without respect. Immediately afterwards, she lifted the white cloth again, and directly reached out to grope on Ruhua's body, and touched everything that should not be touched, where she should have touched, but except for a few silk handkerchiefs, she only found the silver hairpin that she held tightly in her hand until death and did not let go.
After the man stuffed the silk handkerchief into his arms, he forcibly took out the silver hairpin from Ruhua's hand and stuffed it into his body together. Then, take out a jade bottle, open the cap, and pour the liquid in it onto Ruhua's body.
A burst of smoke, with a choking smell, suddenly billowed up.
In less than a moment, there were no more picturesque corpses in place, only pus and a few black bones that had corroded to the point of disappearance.
Seeing this kind of picture, Shen Muzhi on the wall was dumbfounded, and almost exclaimed.
The man covered up the few remaining bones, along with the pus, and quickly left the place.
Shen Muzhi didn't have time to sigh at the picturesque situation after death, and hurriedly chased the man in black and left here.
He now suspected that the person who suddenly appeared and snatched the body was most likely sent by Yang Tianbao. It's just that, according to the news and speculation he got before, there should be some friendship between this Yang Tianbao and this picturesque girl. Why did this Yang Tianbao treat the corpse of the picturesque girl like this?
Or is the relationship between the two not what he suspected?
After the man in black left from the broken temple, he walked around the city a few times, probably because he was worried that someone would follow him, and after a long time, he finally came to the vicinity of the Li family's business, and after two more circles, he flashed into the back alley of the Li family's business, stopped in front of the door, raised his hand and knocked a few times, the door creaked open, and welcomed the man in black in. Then, a familiar face poked its head out, looked left and right, and after making sure that there was no tail, it closed the door again.
On the wall not far away, Shen Muzhi squatted in the shadows, and saw this scene very clearly in his eyes, and his heart suddenly sank.
The one who opened the door just now was the little guy who had guided him to the Beauty Garden before.
If the man in black is Yang Tianbao's person, then this guy said that Yang Tianbao was not here before, and he was scolding him!
If that's the case, then does Yang Tianbao already know that he has gone to find Ruhua?
However, if this is the case, why didn't Yang Tianbao send someone to Lirenyuan to intercept him?
Or is it that Yang Tianbao failed to intercept twice, and he is already afraid?
Shen Muzhi squatted in the shadows and thought for a while, but he couldn't completely understand the twists and turns. After a long time, he suddenly and silently slid down the wall, walked quickly to the door, and knocked on the door a few times, following the previous technique of the man in black.
The door soon opened, and the head poked out was the same guy from before.
As soon as he saw Shen Muzhi, this little guy panicked, and he was about to shout when he opened his mouth. Soon, though, he felt a sharp object in his neck. As long as he exerted a little force, he could give him a bloody hole in his neck, so when the voice came to his mouth, he immediately swallowed it back.
"This hero, are you here to help Xiao Di solve his troubles? Xiao Xiao didn't lie to you before, did he?" Xiao Xiao asked cautiously as he tried to squeeze out a smile.
Shen Muzhi didn't speak, just motioned for him to let him in.
After hesitating for a moment, the little guy took a step back, and Shen Muzhi immediately followed.
