Chapter 142: Striking the Grass and Startling the Snake

Shen Xu had a few good thugs around him, and when he saw that his master was in trouble, he immediately came to the rescue. The pen %fun %pavilion www.biquge.info but was quickly repelled by Yan San, who was wearing the costume of a servant, and Yan Liu.

Huo Lianjue's deep black eyes were like a frozen cold pool, and he couldn't see a trace of emotional fluctuations, and he instructed the official who followed him: "Bring Boss Shen back to the yamen first, and the official will personally interrogate him." ”

"Yes. Immediately, two officials stepped forward, ignoring Shen Xu's angry shouting and scolding, wiped his shoulders and arms, and tied him firmly with hemp rope.

In fact, Shen Xu was extremely aggrieved at this moment, compared to Huo Lianjue, he wanted to scold Qin Baifeng more, if it wasn't for her reckless actions, how could she attract the crazy counterattack of the evil star in front of him.

He also thought that Huo Lianjue would go crazy, but he didn't expect that he would go crazy so completely. Huo Lianjue was obviously red-eyed at this moment, and he completely put on a desperate posture of killing a thousand enemies and self-destructing eight hundred.

Shen Xu opened his mouth to say a few words, but Huo Lianjue didn't listen at all. Yan San directly stuffed a ball of cloth into his mouth, and commanded sharply: "Take it away!"

Poor Shen Xu didn't even have a chance to say a few words, so he was rudely dragged out by the officials. He kicked and punched in horror, only to be met with harsher rebukes and a few rude punches.

Shen Xu probably didn't expect that retribution would come so quickly!

......

Hua Liyue listened quietly in the dark, in addition to her own shallow breathing, there seemed to be a few subtle breathing sounds, one after another in the depths of this cave. Could it be that there are other people locked up here besides themselves?

As she pondered, she rubbed her back against the damp and sticky mountain wall step by step, walking sideways like a crab. The various pains and discomforts in her body have made her gradually numb and ignore. Every time she landed, she was preoccupied and careful.

After all, darkness is a harbinger of unknowable dangers, and the psychological pressure it brings can be more terrifying than any horrific scene that can be seen by the naked eye.

Although Hua Liyue has tried to keep her eyes open, it is a pity that she still can't see anything. She is like a blind person, and all sensations can only be felt by groping with her hands and ears.

After walking about a dozen steps, she felt as if she had kicked something under her feet, and the object fell like a sack because of her kick. Hua Liyue was already tied with her hands tied, and her balance was extremely poor. She stumbled and fell, swooping down on the cold, stiff, huddled object.

She struggled a few times in embarrassment, and suddenly felt her cheek slip over a round shoulder. There was no trace of warmth in that shoulder, and it was as stiff as a stone.

She was stunned, and suddenly felt her heartbeat begin to increase rapidly, and a terrible thought appeared in her mind: Could it be that the corpse that had been dead for a long time was crushed under her?

The thought was like an invisible rope pulling her, and she gritted her teeth and struggled to get up, crouching down with her back to the body that had tripped over her, and slowly groping with her hands tied behind her.

The first thing she touched was a jacket with a rough fabric, and Hua Liyue's hands stiffened, she was already sure that there was indeed a corpse on the ground with her hands tied. Although it did not emit a peculiar smell, it was already cold and stiff, and she forcibly held back the discomfort in her heart and continued to grope carefully.

Hua Liyue's hand groped carefully inch by inch on the corpse, starting from the corpse's forearm and slowly moving up to the corpse's shoulder. When she touched the corpse's newly bulging chest like a pigeon, she froze slightly. There was a hint of astringency in her heart, this corpse should be a young girl.

The young girl who had just entered the cardamom years had not yet had time to fully bloom, but she died inexplicably in this dark cave.

Hua Lianyue's body trembled slightly, and she bit her lip tightly, almost biting her lower lip. Intense nausea surged in his chest, and a sweet and fishy liquid came up again.

She took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed the feeling, and began to grope on the girl's corpse again. She carefully touched the girl's young face, and her fingers gradually moved up, and finally touched her unkempt hair.

In the dark, Hua Lianyue's dark eyes flashed slightly, and there was already something more in her palm, which was a rough but extremely sharp copper hairpin.

Whether it is a poor girl or a rich girl, everyone has a love for beauty. They will have hairpins, step rocks, hairpin rings, flower and other jewelry on their heads, and no matter how bad they are, they will insert a hairpin to fix their hair buns.

Previously, she rubbed along the mountain wall for a long time, just to find angular things such as mountain rocks and stalagmites to get rid of the hemp rope that bound her hands. It's a pity that she rubbed for a long time, but she didn't even touch a stone.

Finally touched the sharp copper hairpin from the head of the female corpse, and she immediately took it off and held it tightly in the palm of her hand. Unable to speak, unable to see, she could only secretly say sorry to the unknown female corpse in her heart.

Then she groped her way away from the woman's corpse, sat down with her back against a mountain wall, and began to patiently grind the hemp rope on her wrist with a copper hairpin. Previously, because she was anxious and couldn't grasp the strength well, she poked several blood holes in the back of her hand, and her tears were about to burst out in pain.

Calming down, she slowed down, finally stopping the effort on the back of her hand. It took half an hour for the twine, which was as thick as a little finger, to be broken. Finally broke free from the restraints on her hands, Hua Liyue was overjoyed and immediately took off the cloth ball in her mouth.

Finally able to breathe freely, she couldn't help but clutch her chest, just a burst of vomiting. It's a pity that she hasn't eaten for a long time, and she vomited for a long time, and she just spit out some sour water.

Hua Lianyue leaned against the mountain wall in embarrassment and gasped for breath, and this action almost exhausted the strength of her whole body. At that moment, she heard the sound of heavy footsteps, accompanied by a dim candlelight.......

Fortune gambling house

Huo Lianjue moved a chair and sat in the middle of the gambling hall hall, indifferently watching the chaotic scene in front of him. His thick eyelashes, like butterfly wings, flickered from time to time, hiding the cold light of an arrow in his dark eyes.

The people in the gambling house are still resisting, but most of them have been taken down by the officials, tied up and thrown into a pile like arhats. The shouts, cries of pain, pleading, and scolding were incessant.

Huo Lianjue sat as steady as Mount Tai, as if no sound could disturb him.

Yan Liu suddenly hurriedly ran in from outside, and he whispered in Huo Lianjue's ear: "Second Young Master, the brothers hiding in the shadows outside have found that someone has secretly climbed over the wall from the backyard of the gambling house. ”

Huo Lianjue's gloomy black eyes lit up suddenly, and he hurriedly asked in a low voice, "Can you follow?"

Yan San nodded and said, "The big double girl followed in person, so there shouldn't be anything wrong." ”

"Okay!" Huo Lianjue nodded and instructed: "Remember, no matter how many people sneak out, don't be alarmed, just follow secretly." Even if some of them are going to save Shen Xu, don't stop them and let them save them. ”

"Yes. ”

Huo Lianjue sighed, and whispered like a mosquito: "Yue'er can't wait long, I hope this trick can work!"

Yan San inadvertently heard Huo Lianjue's whisper, and his eyes couldn't help but flash strong admiration: Look at the second young master, the shot is such a high-level strategy as 'fighting the grass and startling the snake'.

It's not like the fifth young master in his own house, who wants to break his head, and only thinks of any 'bullying and bullying' and 'heroes saving beauty' that can't be put on the stage.

......

Liu Shou sneezed and rubbed the tip of his sour nose. He looked up at the gloomy sky, and couldn't help but complain in his heart. It's obviously spring, why is it still so cold and damp.

Yan San and Yan Liu went to help Huo Lianjue, so he took Yan Ba and Yan Jiu to wander around on the street. According to him, maybe you can meet the inexplicable flower catcher in a teahouse or winery.

He has been wandering the streets for more than two hours, and he has walked every street in Meiling County, and the fate encounter he is looking forward to is still far away. He has always been only three points hot when encountering problems, and he gradually became a little unhappy.

Until he saw the drunken red mansion with luxurious decoration and countless beauties. From a long distance, you can hear the warbler and swallow song inside, and smell the intoxicating fragrance of fat powder. His eyes couldn't help but light up, and the jade bone fan lightly slapped it in his palm, and said: "This Qinglou has always been a place of right and wrong, and it is also a place for news circulation, maybe you can find out what news from these people's mouths." ”

He glanced sideways at Yan Badao beside him: "Do you say that's the truth?"

The corners of Yan Ba's mouth twitched, and he arched his hand, and said loudly: "What the Fifth Young Master said is extremely reasonable. ”

"Since you have said that it makes sense, let's go in and take a look!" Liu Shou, who was still exhausted, was like being beaten with chicken blood, and rushed to the drunken Red Mansion.

At this moment, it is still early, and before the business of the drunken red mansion is at its peak, there are many prostitutes leaning on the door and chatting with melon seeds. Seeing Liu Shou, who was handsome and richly dressed, they all surrounded him like bees who had seen honey.

"Yo, it's been a long time since I've seen such a handsome guest officer!"

"The guest officer came so early!"

"The guest officer hasn't been here for a long time, but I miss Yan'er. ”

"Guest officer, in this drunken red mansion, is there a good friend you are familiar with?"

"Guest Officer ......."

The sound of the warbler and the swallow language sounded very beautiful from a distance, but when it was close to his ears, Liu Shou felt that the noise was terrible. He gently hooked the jaw of the woman who called herself Yan'er with the jade bone fan in his hand, and said with a smile: "Beauty, you should serve Young Master Ben!"

Yan'er sneered and glanced at him, this glance was really charming and intoxicating.

She was blessed and said softly to Liu Shou: "Guest officer, please come with me." ”

Liu Shou smiled proudly, and followed Yan'er like a willow in the wind to the drunken red mansion.

There weren't many guests in the drunken red mansion, and there were only five or six tables. On the stage, a prostitute wearing a cinnamon green breast-length skirt, holding a pipa and half-hanging her eyes, was singing a grieving and tactful and moving voice.

Liu Shou glanced at it casually, pointed to a position by the window and said, "Just sit there!"

"Yes. Yan'er threw a wink, twisted her waist and led him to sit in the position.

"It's still early, I don't know if you want to drink tea or wine?" asked Yan'er with a smile.

Liu Shou casually threw out a silver ticket and said, "The beauty looks at the arrangement, whether it is drinking tea or eating wine, it doesn't matter." The key is that the beauty can sit down and drink with Master Ben, which is the most important thing. ”

Yan Ba, the corners of Yan Jiu's eyes twitched at the same time: Fifth Young Master, you seem to have forgotten the purpose of this trip.

Liu Shou slapped his forehead with a jade bone fan, and said with annoyance: "Look, there is another important matter, Young Master Ben almost forgot." ”

Yan Ba and Yan Jiu's eyebrows stretched at the same time, and they nodded secretly with satisfaction: At a critical time, the fifth young master still knows the importance of the matter.

Liu Shou pointed to the Yan family brothers behind him, and said to Yan'er: "Open another table at the next table, don't let these two silly boys affect the young master and the beauty of your drinking and heart-to-heart." ”

Yan'er couldn't help but smile when she heard this, and a pair of charming eyes sparkled, so she heard her coquettishly say: "I hate it!" She grabbed the silver ticket worth a hundred taels and floated away like a butterfly.

Such a tender voice like water made Yan Ba and Yan Jiu feel moved and wanted to cry. I wonder if I can take back my previous evaluation of my young master now?

In the end, Yan'er is a veteran in the Fengyue Field, and she took a high amount of silver tickets, so naturally she did not treat Liu Shou and his party badly. She really arranged two tables of noodles, although it was not exquisite and luxurious, but there were also four cold dishes, four hot dishes, four dried fruits, four dim sum, plus a jar of good Huiquan wine.

Yan Ba and Yan Jiu sat aggrievedly at the next table to eat and drink, leaving Yan'er alone in front of Liu Shou.

Yan'er held the wine jug and poured a full glass of wine for Liu Shou, and said with a smile: "It's the first time the guest officer has come to Meiling County, right?"

"Beauty has good eyesight, how can you tell that Young Master Ben is coming to Meiling County for the first time?"

Liu Shou motioned for her to sit down, Yan'er bent her knees and was blessed, and really sat down next to Liu Shou, and did not forget to pour herself a glass of wine.

Holding the crystal clear wine glass, he shook it gently, and the amber wine rippled slightly at the bottom of the glass. Liu Shou gracefully touched the wall of the cup with Yan'er. Yan'er was flattered and drank it all with her wine glass. Liu Shou took a sip with a smile, and stopped tasting it, the wine just wet his lips.

Yan'er put down the empty cup, took out a silk handkerchief and gently pressed it on the corner of her mouth, flew over obliquely and gave a wink, and said with a smile: "The guest officer is so handsome and generous, if you have been to Meiling County, Yan'er will definitely remember it." ”

Liu Shou smiled, personally held the wine jug, added wine to Yan'er, and said with a smile: "The beauty has good eyesight, you should enjoy a glass of wine." ”

Yan'er picked up the wine glass and shook it gently, not in a hurry to put it in her mouth. She glanced at Liu Shou and said, "The guest officer is too bad, is this planning to get Yan'er drunk?"

Liu Shou hooked his lips and smiled, and there seemed to be countless stars twinkling in his peach blossom eyes. He said with a smile: "That beauty, do you drink or not?"

Yan'er had long been stunned by his flickering peach blossom eyes, and at the moment, she was afraid that she would be willing to drink anything, not to mention just a glass of wine. She picked up the wine glass and touched Liu Shou lightly, and drank it all again.

Yan'er shook the empty wine glass, staring at Liu Shou's wine glass with a pair of wonderful eyes that seemed to be smiling. Liu Shou did not hesitate, raised his neck, and drank not a drop of wine in the cup.

Yan Jiuyi, who had been paying close attention to the movement at the next table, slapped his head, lowered his voice, and said to Yan Ba incredibly: "I'm not mistaken, the second young master is busy over there, and the fifth young master actually has the leisure to hide in this drunken red mansion to hook up with prostitutes?"
