Chapter 26: Who is the Black Hand?
The woman in white claimed to be Tianruo, and placed her in the highest position of the Hou Mansion with a smile: Moon Pavilion. Pai Hongdan took a few people over to costume;
Back at Taoyuanju, Shui smiled and looked at Sister Yue and Brother Xuan, who were lying on the bed side by side, holding hands, and showed a smile. waved his hand at Yinluo, pulled the quilt and lay on the bed, holding a pair of children in his arms, and finally let go of his heart completely;
Yin Luo silently exited the main room, looking at the gradually whitening sky, it was about to be early in the morning;
The night was finally over;
Taking a long breath and a hint of a smile, Yinluo turned around and returned to his room in the Hou Mansion;
……
Shui Chenhong looked at the confession about the infiltrator: his name is Leng Qiufeng, he is a thief, and he received a reward of a thousand gold, asking him to steal the eldest prince of the Zhenbei Hou Mansion and send it to the designated place. The thousand gold is only half of the reward, and there is a thousand gold reward after the event. Moreover, the other party claimed that there was a high-status steward in the Zhenbei Hou Mansion to do internal response, which would help him avoid the patrolling guards, and he only needed to take the child out of the inner courtyard. Leng Qiufeng was moved at the time, so he took it.
Leng Qiufeng's expression was crying without tears when he said this, he didn't expect to run into a hard bone, and now he hit the south wall, why did he take over this business in the first place? Why are he so unlucky???
Shui Chenhong immediately sent someone to the designated place to check, although there was not much hope, but he always had to check! Those guards of the Hou Mansion were idle, so it was better to help them find something to do.
"Is there anything else you want to explain?" Raising his eyebrows, Shui Chenhong asked the cold autumn wind with a sad face.
This cold autumn wind is not as incompetent as he claims, in the rivers and lakes, this name is extremely loud, and it can even be said that everyone knows it, many people mention that his teeth are itchy, and they can't wait to bite him to death.
The cold autumn wind, known as the 'black blade', also known as the 'thief without a shadow', the black blade is a non-reflective, swarthy but extremely sharp short sword in his hand; the thief refers to his mastery of stealing; the shadowless means that he is outstanding in light skills and flies without a shadow;
He is a well-known 'bad guy' in the hearts of the people of the rivers and lakes, not a 'wicked person', a 'bad guy', because he steals and steals, but he never kills, is not bloodthirsty, does not kill people like hemp, does not prostitute or gamble, and speaks counts, he is really a good person, but he always has the ability to itch the teeth of popularity but is helpless against him.
It is said that he once replaced the golden basin prepared by Yun Zhenzhen's grandfather and the head of the Feiyun faction, Old Man Yun, who washed his hands in a golden basin, with a urinal, and the angry Yun boss jumped like thunder, driving his three sons out of the house, claiming that he would not come back if he didn't beat Leng Qiufeng to death. In the end, it was Yun Zhenzhen's father and Chi Xuanqi's father-in-law, Yun Hua Tianzi, who grabbed Leng Qiufeng and beat him severely, so that the three brothers were allowed to return home;
It is said that the old man Yun was overjoyed when he found out, and directly passed the position of the head of the Feiyun faction to Yun Huatian, and the next day he ran away from home and hid in the deep mountains and old forests to retire.
It is said that he stole the new wife of the young master of the Dongze Shenfu Palace on the night of marriage and hid it in the Dongze Silver Star Island Ecstasy Array, but the young master was not good at the formation, and when he succeeded in the formation with great effort, it was already three days later, and the newlywed wife who was round and jade, delicate and lovely had become skinny and skinny. The young master hugged his wife distressedly and swore that he would be trapped and starved for ten days and a half by catching Leng Qiufeng, and the young master was still searching for Leng Qiufeng's whereabouts.
It is said that all the treasures targeted by him were taken into his pocket;
It is said that he has participated in many shocking theft cases on the rivers and lakes;
Reputedly......
In short, although Leng Qiufeng is a thief, he is a smart and powerful thief;
"He doesn't know who the employer is?" Shui Hanxiao stood in front of the flower tree in the yard, listening to the sound coming from the house: the two children were playing happily and giggling all the time, and it seemed that they liked the stepmother, Mrs. Tianruo.
"Well, I think he's telling the truth, hiring charlatans like this, and generally speaking, employers don't show up. Shui Chenhong said his opinion truthfully.
But this cold autumn wind is not an ordinary Jianghu person, you can find by looking at his past: he is thoughtful, cautious and steady, and he can follow for a long time in order to take an action, just to understand the character and habits of the target. This mission was reckless, and it was to steal children from the Hou Mansion; weren't the people of the rivers and lakes generally unwilling to have anything to do with the people of the imperial court? Why didn't he care at all?"
With a smile, he raised his hand and looked at the information that Shui Chenhong had brought over, and said a little puzzled: "This is very abnormal, it is not in line with his past habits." So he should have hidden some important information from us. ”
Shui Chenhong nodded, and said a little ashamedly: "It was my negligence." ”
Shui Hanxiao smiled slightly: "It's not your fault, you have a good impression of him and want to reduce his responsibility, so it's normal to be negligent." Shui Chenhong's face was flushed, he was in charge of intelligence, and for a talent like Leng Qiufeng, he couldn't help but see Hunting Heart.
After a deep groan, Shui Han smiled and continued: "However, even if he hides something, the employer's situation should not be able to ask anything." If you want to use him, let him atone for his sins, and then arrange for him to do some errands. ”
Hanxiao smiled and continued: "Also, let him sign the deed of sale, and then run errands to make money to redeem himself;
Shui Chenhong was sweating profusely: "Yes." ”
"Before that, ask clearly what is the token that proves his identity, and why does Yang Yuan believe him?"
"Yes," Shui Chenhong nodded solemnly.
"Did Yang Yuan ask something?" smiled and changed the subject.
Yang Yuan didn't say anything, he had already been sentenced, but he hadn't spoken so far. When it came to Yang Yuan, Shui Chenhong felt even more ashamed, everyone was handed over to him, but he couldn't ask anything, he was ashamed of his trust in his master!
"Master Hou has always treated him kindly, I didn't expect to dare to do such a thing?" Shui Hanxiao was full of anger towards Yang Yuan, Xiao Di has always been generous to him, she looked at Xiao Di's face and looked at him differently, and respected him, but he actually colluded with outsiders to frame his master? What a white-eyed wolf who can't be raised!
Shui Chenhong's mouth opened, and he felt that it was impossible, so he didn't speak.
Hanxiao saw her daughter coming to the window and waving to her, her heart softened, a smile appeared on her face, and she ordered: "Staring at Yang Yuan and the group of loyal subordinates around him, you can always ask something." He turned and walked over to his daughter.
Sister Yue stumbled over, raised the small glass ball in her hand, and shouted with a smile: "Mother... Mother"
smiled and smiled: "Hey, does Sister Yue want your mother to play with you?"
Sister Yue blinked her eyes and stuffed the little glass ball into her hand: "Play... Mother... Play..."
"Shall we go into the house and play together?" asked softly as she pulled Sister Yue with a smile.
Sister Yue'er tilted her little head, thought about it, nodded, turned around and walked towards the house, swaying like a little penguin, very cute. Xiaoxiao followed behind Sister Yue'er, and felt very interesting.
Sister Yue and Brother Xuan are now able to turn over and walk on their own, but I don't know why, but it is not good to speak, Sister Yue can only say word by word, Brother Xuan does not open at all; I asked the imperial doctor, and they all said that there was no problem, so I had to talk to them as much as possible, telling stories or something. When telling stories, they also ask a lot, they have to hold a picture album, point to the paintings while talking, and tell them over and over again, and they may not be satisfied with the dry mouth. Maybe you'll even have squinted eyes. Very annoying but very cute.
When I walked into the house, I saw Tianruo helping Brother Xuan with a gentle face to arrange the building blocks. The building blocks are drawn by Xiaoxiao according to the memories of his previous life, and he is made by a craftsman; Sister Yue and Brother Xuan are very fond of it, and often take them out to play; Yinluo, Hongdan, Lujiao and others are all watching with smiles on their faces.
Sister Yue entered the house, Yin Luo was the first to turn around, looked at the swaying Sister Yue and praised: "Sister Yue has walked such a long way by herself!
Xiaoxiao then entered the house, seeing Tianruo's gentle expression, slightly stunned, Tianruo last night was full of a taste of sadness to despair, but now Tianruo's expression is indifferent, the smile is gentle, looking at the child's eyes doting and loving, as if he has changed a person;
……
When Yang Yuan woke up, he felt a hot pain in his body, opened his eyes slightly, and there was darkness all around, Yang Yuan didn't understand whether it was because it was night, or because the place he was in was underground; he moved his fingers slightly, felt a pain in his heart, couldn't help moaning, moved his arms with difficulty, and found that his hands were tied to iron chains hanging above his head; the cold feeling in his lower body pierced into the bone marrow, and a cold wind blew from nowhere, Yang Yuan couldn't help but shiver, and completely sobered up;
This is the water prison, the knee-high water is cold and biting, Yang Yuan is very sure; the water in the water prison is deep and there is not a trace of reflection; the iron chain on his hand has the smell of rust, it is obvious that it has been a long time, but Yang Yuan does not remember that there is such a place in the capital.
Thinking of what happened before, Yang Yuan couldn't help but smile bitterly, he didn't expect that Madame would come forward in person in order to catch him; Thinking of Madame's sharp eyes like a sword, Yang Yuan's eyes were deep, and he must not say the name of his master, otherwise Madame's revenge and anger would not be borne by anyone.
Madame is really powerful, I don't know why the master took the initiative to provoke Madame?
Shouldn't someone like Madame be a good friend?
Yang Yuan was a little confused.
It had been a little long since he was hoisted, and his arm was numb, so Yang Yuan moved his arm slightly;
Endless darkness, endless silence, except for the sound that I can make myself, all that is left is the sound of holding drops of water, repeating the monotonous sound.
Yang Yuan felt that time was passing like this drop of water, and his vitality was also lost little by little like this drop of water, and he felt that he was getting weaker and weaker, and the smell of waiting for death made him want to go crazy, but he didn't even have the strength to go crazy like a trapped beast, so he could only wait quietly for the approach of death.
A glimmer of light flashed, who was that person... Be... Shui Chenhong!
Yang Yuan's eyes condensed slightly, and the trace of longing in his heart was completely extinguished. He had not come to save himself, but to have tormented him in the first place, and sent him here, a cunning and cunning man, a formidable opponent, who had lost at the hands of him and his colleagues!
Lost......
After many years, I lost again...
Who did you lose to in the first place? Yang Yuan thought in a daze: A sassy figure slowly flashed in his mind, it was him, and he lost to him... The people around him died one by one, some died to protect themselves, and some died to kill the enemy, all of them died...... His robe was stained red with blood, and there was the blood of his brothers, the blood of his enemies, and most of all, his own blood...... Such a big wound, but he didn't die at the time, he was still killing, and finally... What happened in the end?... In the end, I fell into a coma, thinking that I would die, but I didn't expect that after a long time, I actually came back alive...... That's a miracle!!
The man looked at himself with hatred in his eyes... I want to kill myself, but I am alive, Shui Chenhong's eyes in front of him are calm and gentle, why does he feel more terrible than that person?
Why?
Yang Yuan's mind was even more confused, and he seemed to think for a long time before he realized: that man looked at himself as an enemy at the beginning, and now this man sees himself as a dead man;
Dead person??... It turns out that he is a dead man in his eyes! Yang Yuan hooked the corners of his lips self-deprecatingly, but he couldn't laugh. My lips are already chapped and bleeding!
……
"I can help you find the person who snatched the child from Leng Qiufeng that night. Tianshui frowned with a smile, lowered his head and thought about it and asked.
"That helped a lot. Said with a smile of surprise.
"Don't be too happy, Yang Yuan may only have one master?!" Tianruo lowered his eyelids and said coldly.
"You mean Hou Ye, how is that possible? Hou Ye is Brother Xuan's father, how can there be a father who harms his own son!" Through chatting in the past few days, Han Xiao found that Tianruo didn't have a little bit of a grandmaster or something, very gentle. So when I talk to her, I'm quite casual, and I can say whatever I want.
"Yes, there are fathers who kill their own sons...... My son was killed by my husband. Tianruo whispered, his tone was very affirmative, and he added another sentence after a half of silence.
Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment.
……
Shui Chenhong walked over with a box.
"Master, find out!"
Shui looked at Shui Chenhong's face with a smile, a trace of uneasiness flashed in his eyes, took the box, and asked, "Where did you find it?" ”
"Yang Yuan specializes in the place where urgent official documents and secret official documents are kept;"
When the box was opened, a seal on rice paper inside stung Smiling eyes.
Leng Qiufeng said that the token of his and Yang Yuan's joint was half a copper coin. Shui Chenhong didn't dare to look at the smiling face, lowered his head and whispered.
The rice paper hissed with internal momentum, but it never shattered, as if there was an invisible force attached to the surface of the paper.
Turning around to leave with a smile, Shui Chenhong faintly heard a whisper from the wind: ... Xiao Di...
