Chapter Twenty-Four: Attempted Murder

Xiao Jingyao's feelings for Gu Xiangyi are very complicated, he himself can't say when he was happy to fall in love with the poor girl of He Yin Curie, repaying his kindness is one thing, and what makes him more interested is how she lives every day.

I thought about taking her away from the Gu family more than once, but it was almost impossible. Not to mention what Gu Hengjun would do if he lost someone out of thin air, a person of Gu Fei's temperament is afraid that he will turn the capital upside down to find Gu Xiangyi, so that the matter will be big and not good for anyone.

Just when both of them were hesitating, Gu Xiangyi died, and Ning Chu, who was reborn in her, had a completely different personality from the former Gu Xiangyi.

If he used to have feelings for Gu Xiangyi that were grateful and happy, now his feelings for Ning Chu are even more complicated, he doesn't really want to be with her, let alone offer to take her away and fly away, but he can't help but want to help and protect her.

After leaving the Gu family, he found a restaurant, planning to get drunk.

Lu Mingsheng was also here, chatting with drinking friends.

"My family arranged family affairs for me, saying that I am not too young and want to tell me about my relatives. Lu Mingsheng shook his head helplessly: "I don't want to get married, staring at my mother-in-law at home, how can I sleep casually outside?"

The two drinking friends laughed and quipped: "It is natural for a man to take a concubine, who let you guard a mother-in-law?"

"How do you know? My father got on the Zhongyi Bofu out of nowhere, saying that he wanted me to marry the concubine of the Zhongyi Bofu, and I still dare to take a concubine if I was related to the Bofu? ”

He is self-aware.

Xiao Jingyao, who was at the next table, looked stunned, and the hand holding the wine glass secretly exerted himself.

As far as he knew, in addition to Gu Fangyi, who was born to Jiang Niangzi, the concubines of the Gu family were Gu Shuyi and Gu Xiuyi, who were born to Xu Niangzi Xu Junhe.

Xiao Jingyao didn't think that the family he told the Lu family was their daughter, and it was likely to be... The one of He Yinju.

How can he not know what kind of person Lu Mingsheng is, he thinks that he is a commodity who ties his head to a woman's nepotism, if he marries him, then he will wait for his life to be tortured or angry to death.

After two glasses of wine, the next table was still talking about it, Lu Mingsheng even said that he would go to the Gu family to propose marriage in two days, and the two elders had already secretly finalized it.

Xiao Jingyao himself didn't know why he was so angry when he heard these words, he held the wine jar in his hand, threw it back with no strength, and smashed it on his head impartially. That is, he didn't want his life, otherwise he would have more strength, and he would have blood splattered on the spot at this moment.

Lu Mingsheng, who was smashed on the head by the wine jar, slammed on the table, and the nosebleed gushed out instantly, and the head was not a serious injury, and the wine jar was not broken, but it was broken on the ground.

"Who!" Lu Mingsheng stood up and asked menacingly.

Xiao Jingyao turned his head to look at him, his whole face was like a stone in a cold pool, without a trace of temperature.

Seeing this person, Lu Mingsheng was slightly stunned, and swallowed back several cursed words in his mouth. His father's official position is not high, and the whole family relies on his mother's business, and most of that business leaks out of the Xiao family's fingers, if Xiao Jingyao is provoked, I am afraid that the Lu family's financial route will be cut off tomorrow.

"I'm sorry, I'm a little drunk. Xiao Jingyao said in a cold tone.

Glaring at Xiao Jingyao with a sneering face, Lu Mingsheng was so angry that he was going to die, and the drinking friend next to him hurriedly handed him the handkerchief and asked him to wipe the nosebleed, and the handkerchief was stained with blood as soon as he wiped it, and he threw the handkerchief on the ground in anger.

"Young Master Xiao, why did you smash me with the wine jar?"

"It's said that he is drunk, but Lu Gongzi still wants to be unforgiving?" Xiao Jingyao sneered: "It seems that this is a light smash." ”

Lu Mingsheng suddenly lost face: "You!"

"What are you?" Xiao Jingyao stood up, patted his placket with the back of his hand, and spoke in an extremely disgusted tone: "No matter how dare you talk nonsense, believe it or not, you won't be able to get the money for food and wine tomorrow?"

Trembling all over, Lu Mingsheng looked at him with red eyes, but he couldn't say a word.

Wrestling with him, he is really not an opponent.

In these years, the officials are more powerful than the businessmen, but his father's official position is too low, he can't speak in the court, and he is looked down upon even with him, and now he is even more trampled on by the businessmen, and he clenched his fists in anger.

Gu Xiangyi, who was about to attack Meng Shaoyuan, prepared the clothes he was going to wear early, his hair was tied high, and his cheeks were slightly changed with the secret technique written in the booklet, which startled the pomegranate at first glance.

"Girl, what are you?"

"Is it still like me?" Gu Xiangyi looked in the mirror again and asked, "Can you tell it's me at a glance?"

Pomegranate shook her head: "It's not like it, it's like someone else, the girl's face is fat, it seems to be a little similar to the fifth girl." ”

The fifth girl, Gu Shuyi, is Xu Junhe's eldest daughter, and her appearance is more delicate, but her face is slightly larger, so she doesn't look as good-looking as other girls. But it's beautiful to look at for a long time. Gu Xiangyi didn't know how to change it casually, but she had a similarity with others.

"That's still it, I don't have to cause trouble for others. Saying that, Gu Xiangyi tore off the thing that was attached to her face again, rubbed her chin very sharply, and her whole face was like a mask, and her shadow was not visible at all.

Today's events are different from killing Ge Yao, the moon is dark and the wind is high on the day of killing Ge Yao, there is no one on the street, but Meng Shaoyuan can be killed, there are many guests on the boat and there are many prostitutes, and it is very dangerous to kill people there.

So tonight's preparations are relatively complete, and it's a little later than usual.

Climbing out of the courtyard wall alone, Gu Xiangyi took off the black cloth to cover his face, got on the horse that Xiao Jingyao had prepared a long time ago, and galloped towards the Mengliu River.

Xiao Jingyao, who was in the shadows, quietly followed, and even the two killers under him were nearby.

At this moment, the lights of the painting boat were bright red, Meng Shaoyuan did not let go as soon as he was drunk, and the prostitute who fed him the wine was not ambiguous at all, and poured large cups into his mouth.

Why? You can rest at night when you are drunk!

Gu Xiangyi knew where he was, got off the horse and ran to the painting boat, from the sampan you can see the three-story high-level lantern painting boat, the rouge fragrance is very strong, and the noise makes people feel disturbed.

Taking off his coat and stuffing it into the sampan, it was Xiao Jingyao's person who rowed the boat, and he could be trusted. Gu Xiangyi walked up to the painting boat, wearing a light apricot-colored muslin skirt, her fair shoulders leaking outside, looking a little more added to her appearance, her bright eyes and red lips made her complexion white and graceful figure.

There are several screens on the first floor, and it is smooth to walk, and when you come to the second floor, you can hear a prostitute say in a coquettish voice: "Meng Gongzi, try this wine, it is our mother's new entry, how does it taste?"

"Good wine!" Meng Shaoyuan said proudly, pulling the prostitute's front placket and wiping his mouth: "This wine is really fragrant, but I still don't think it's as fragrant as you." ”

If you want to get close to Meng Shaoyuan and kill him, you can only pretend to be a prostitute and wait for an opportunity. She still knows Meng Shaoyuan well, he had better be fresh, if he sees a fresh face, he will definitely not be able to hold it.

But before Gu Xiangyi could take another step, the bustard's mother stretched out her hand to block her path and asked, "Who are you?"

The painting boat is full of sons and brothers who come to have fun, where have they ever come to such a beautiful girl's house? It is impossible to say that it does not arouse suspicion.

It's a pity that Gu Xiangyi didn't see Meng Shaoyuan's location clearly, so he was stopped in the way.

"I'm from the boat next door, and my mother asked me to come over to find Meng Gongzi to talk about something. ”

Mother Qin here and Mother Xiu on the boat next door have always been at odds, and the two families have been fighting openly and secretly for a long time, and each other's faces have long been torn.

"What did she ask you to say?" Mother Qin snorted coldly, and her chest straightened up: "Just you Gong Xiangfang's two melons and jujubes, can you still come out as a new person?"

Gu Xiangyi lowered her eyes: "Mom is really good eyesight, I just came here today." ”

"Meng Gongzi has someone waiting here, you go back and tell Wei Xiu, thinking that it is fresh, you will come to rob people, that can't be!"

"I really have something important to tell Meng Gongzi. Gu Xiangyi whispered: "Mom doesn't know, I was sold to Gong Xiangfang by my brother, and I only knew when I came that my mother over there was really harsh, and the other sisters didn't have a good face when they saw me, and then Xiu's mother told me that if I want to come out, I will go to you and snatch Meng Gongzi back." ”

"So you're here to rob someone?" Mother Qin frowned when she heard this, and almost opened her mouth to let people blow her out.

Gu Xiangyi shook his head and said: "No, in fact, I have selfish intentions, thinking that Meng Gongzi will pay money to intercede and redeem me from Gong Xiangfang to my mother. ”

Qin's mother looked her up and down, and saw that her appearance was really good, and her figure was also marked, so she asked: "What you said is quite reliable, I know best what Wei Xiu's old slut treats people, but you have to be qualified to come to our dream boat, is it Hina?"

Gu Xiangyi's face turned red when he asked this question, not pretending, but really being a little shy.

Open your mouth to ask such a secret thing, it's strange that it's a battle-hardened old bustard!

"Naturally, yes. ”

"Then you..."

Before Mother Jean could finish her words, a scream resounded through the boat, and there was a silence around her, followed by the girl's screams like a wave.

Secretly screaming in her heart, Gu Xiangyi strode out to find the position of the voice, and the strong smell of blood before this had already made her feel uneasy.

Pushing open the curtain covering the front, two prostitutes who were not wearing any clothes sat on the ground, their faces pale with fright, and one of them was directly frightened, and fainted in the blink of an eye.

Indeed, anyone who watches this kind of scene will feel frightened and disgusted.

Meng Shaoyuan still had his eyes open until he died, his abdomen was cut many times, his flesh and bones were exposed a lot, and the deep wound on his neck knew at a glance that the murderer would not be light, and it was estimated that he came directly to his neck with the murder weapon, Meng Shaoyuan suddenly swallowed, and the murderer slashed his stomach several times.
