Chapter 320: Serendipity
On the day of the beginning of winter, it was a sunny and snowy day, but the sun was not as high and light as usual, half-covered and half-hidden on the edge of the light clouds, bright and almost demonic. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
Jin Sheng refreshed himself after bathing, stepped out of the bedroom as usual, and walked around the verandah to the study, and saw a slender snow-white figure sitting under the ancient tree in the courtyard.
The girl under the tree heard the footsteps and turned around, and a plain skirt turned gently, she saw Jin Sheng looking at here with a complicated and gentle expression, and her heart was full of joy, but before this joy reached the bottom of her eyes, she was frozen in her stomach by Jin Sheng's instantly cold face. The gaze clearly recognized her as someone else, and the eldest brother once told her that her back was weak and slender, very similar to Li Shuci.
Yang Yan secretly hated in his heart, why did one or two of them have to miss that slut!
Jin Sheng's face was the usual silence and coldness: "Why are you here?" β
"Yang Mi has seen Zhao Sanye. Yang Yan squatted slightly under her knees, and the corners of her skirt spread out around her, like a blooming magnolia, but unfortunately no one here appreciated her fragrance. Her thick eyelashes drooped, the corners of her lips were slightly curved, and her tone did not lose her lightness because of Jin Sheng's blandness: "It seems that you have become very comfortable with this identity, and this face seems to be very conforming." β
Jin Sheng didn't buy Yang Zheng's Gu Zuo, and waited silently for her next step. The smile on Yang Miao's lips finally fell: "His Royal Highness the King of Confucianism, I am now your fiancΓ©e, although this is just a small bonus to the agreement reached between the Yang family and the King of Confucianism, but Yang Mi is no longer the Yang Mi of the past, and he will not be weak and can be bullied to the point of being humiliated and will not make a noise." Yang is the one who wants to stand side by side with you and wants to be respected by you. β
The Confucian King tilted his head to Yang Miao, who had a stubborn and stubborn face in front of him, and sneered: "If you want to be respected by others, don't do something unworthy of respect, the Zhao family is not where you should come." Even if you are my fiancΓ©e now, I will never be relentless if you do something you shouldn't have done. In addition, I am now Zhao Sanye. β
Yang Miao's heart froze, and he bit his lower lip, knowing that he couldn't shake the heart of the Confucian King at this time, so he wisely chose not to talk about this matter anymore. said: "Since I came to find the third master, it is naturally an important thing to say." "Now Yang Yan sends a message to Jin Sheng, basically through Yang Yan's hands. Yang Miao also understood in his heart that the eldest brother wanted Jin Sheng to get along with her more for her sake, and let him pay more attention to her.
"Hasn't the third master been looking for an opportunity to deal with Li Weiqing and Helian Ting? I have an idea. β
The Confucian King set his eyes on Yang Yu again, and even Han Jin couldn't help but glance up at her. Yang Miao chuckled lightly and said, "Li Weiqing has a good character, and there is no way to start if he wants to use three indiscriminate means to catch him." However, although he was too shrewd, not everyone around him was like him. For example, his eldest son. I heard that Li Yigang took up a position in the Five Cities Terracotta Division, and recently he often tastes wine and argues with his colleagues outside. β
"Do you want to use beauty tricks to frame Li Yi?" Jin Sheng frowned, and Han Jin's lowered gaze couldn't help but show disdain. Not to mention that Li Yi, like Li Weiqing, is a person who never messes with flowers. Even if something ugly happens to a prostitute outside, what kind of big mess can there be? Which family doesn't have a few sons and brothers who spend all their time drinking, but it can be solved with a sentence of youth and frivolity.
"I know what the third master thinks. Yang Miao smiled: "However, what if this beauty is Li Yi's wife?"
Jin Sheng's gaze froze, and the contempt in his heart couldn't help but fade a little. I went back and forth in my mind and asked, "Do you already have a specific plan?"
Yang Miao's feet moved slightly, walked to a place two steps away from Jin Sheng, and looked up at him. "I'll be careful. β
"In that case, let's get started. Jin Sheng, as always, cherished words like gold, and after just one sentence, he left Yang Miao in the same place, turned around and entered the study. Han Jin made a gesture of invitation to Yang Miao: "The tail behind Miss Yang, the third master has already solved it for you, if there is nothing else, please go back." β
Yang Yan looked at the closed door and stood still for a moment. Taking a deep breath, he turned around and left the Zhao Mansion. The guards waiting at the corner gate stood there and waited, and Yang Yan said, "Tell the people in Luxiang Mansion to act when the opportunity arises." β
The guard whispered, "Yes." β
Han Jin watched Yang Yu leave, turned around and returned to Jin Sheng: "Third Master, do you have any orders?"
Jin Sheng knocked on the table and said, "Although this matter is feasible, you need to do a few more things." And, keep an eye on her and don't let things go wrong. β
"Yes, my subordinates understand. β
Zheng Ting asked people to go out to look for it twice, but they still didn't find everyone's bodies. Her heart was beating wildly, the corpse was gone, was it good or bad? She gathered all the few remaining descendants of the Zheng family together, but it was Mrs. Zheng's girl Nanyu, Guan's girl lotus root, Zheng Jiao's girl crescent moon and her girl listening to the cold and snow.
Zheng Ting looked at the five girls and said, "The Zheng family has encountered a great disaster, you should know in your hearts that the Zheng family has no way out." I have no way out. β
A few girls, you look at me, I look at you, and my heart is uneasy. They all knew why they were stayed, because they knew Zheng Ting's appearance and knew that Zheng Ting had become a biological daughter, and at this time, this secret was a stumbling block to the marriage. They are all people who know secrets, so Zheng Ting controls them in her hands.
"Rest assured, the slaves and maids are loyal to the girl. Tinghan and Tingxue knelt down first and said to Zheng Ting. The other three hesitated slightly, but there was no better choice, and they knelt in front of Zheng Ting resignedly, learning to listen to Xue and the two said, "The slave will never betray the Zheng family." β
The five of them are all girls who have been bought from Renyazi, and they have left their parents and traveled all over the world since they were children. Because of his ordinary appearance and cheap price, he was picked by the Zheng family, and he has been following several masters, but he is also intimate. Now that the deed is in Zheng Ting's hands, Zheng Ting is not afraid of what will happen to them, but this girl named Crescent Moon has been following Zheng Jiao in the past. Zheng Ting's gaze stayed on the crescent moon for a moment, and then moved away quietly.
"Since you have all said that you are faithful to me, let me see it now. β
A few girls look at each other, loyal, what do you think?
Zheng Ting glanced at Tinghan Tingxue, and the two immediately dragged out a sack from the side pavilion. There was a whining sound inside, and it was supposed to be a person. Crescent shuddered as she heard who was in the sack.
Zheng Jiao and Zheng Xu are concubines and heirs, and they may have a sense of sympathy, but they have more contacts than Zheng Ting in private. Therefore, the crescent moon is very familiar with Zheng Xu's little servant Tongjiang. In fact, the relationship between her and Tongjiang is not just as simple as familiarity.
Sure enough, Tinghan Tingxue untied the sack, Tong Jiang's face was exposed from inside, his hands and feet were trapped tightly, his eyes were staring, and his mouth kept making a whimpering struggle. Seeing that the crescent moon was also in front of him, he immediately struggled violently, and his eyes were full of pleading.
"Big girl, this is ......" Crescent Moon was frightened and couldn't help asking. In fact, she already understood what Zheng Ting was going to do.
Zheng Ting looked in front of her, patted the crescent moon's pale cheek, and said: "Crescent moon, they are all fine, but you, in the past, were indeed the girls around Zheng Jiao, if you want to believe you, should you also do something to show me? Otherwise, how can I trust you? Am I right?"
The crescent moon looked at Zheng Ting in horror, and almost didn't dare to look at Tongjiang with her eyes. "Girl, please believe in the slave maid, although the slave maid has been following the second girl, but she is also a person who has been in the Zheng family, in the Zheng family for six or seven years, she has never done anything against the eldest girl, and she will never betray the eldest girl in the future, you must believe in the slave maid!"
Zheng Ting looked at her and shook her head funny: "Crescent moon, everyone can say empty vernacular." I won't care if you've done anything against me before, but now you're going to do what I say. β
The crescent moon raised her head against the ground and looked at Zheng Ting: "Big girl...... Think, what do you want the slave to do?"
"Kill him in front of everyone. Zheng Ting's tone was cold, and her words did not hesitate.
'Hiss', there was a gasp in the room, Tong Jiang struggled more violently when he heard this, and the crescent moon shook his head desperately: "No, no...... Girl, spare the slave and maid......"
"Spare you?" Zheng Ting sneered: "How should I spare you? Let you go to Huangquan with him to be freed from this, will it be considered to spare you?"
The crescent moon trembled with fright, and the cold sweat on her forehead trickled down her eyes and mixed with her tears. A few lotus roots and Nan Yuse on the side shrank in the corner, not daring to say anything at all, for fear of getting into trouble. Zheng Ting looked at the crescent moon and sneered, "I'll ask you one last time." Do you kill him, or die with him. β
The crescent moon bit her lips and looked at the other girls, but they didn't make eye contact with her at all, for fear of contaminating themselves with the disaster. The crescent moon gritted the silver teeth fiercely, and finally made up her mind, and under Tong Jiang's straight gaze, she took the dagger in Zheng Ting's hand that glowed with snow and cold light.
Seeing this, Tong Jiang's breathing became heavier and heavier, his eyes were open, and he struggled to hide backwards, but unfortunately his whole body was trapped solidly, and he could only barely twist his body at this time. Yueya's hands and feet were weak, and she knelt directly beside him and cried: "Tongjiang, I was forced, don't blame me." If I don't kill you, I'm going to die with you......"
The crescent moon shuddered and closed her eyes, holding the dagger in both hands and raising it high, stabbing down with all her might.
The crescent moon only felt that Tong Jiang's body suddenly trembled and stiffened, and a warm and bloody breath hit his cheeks. When he opened his eyes, he saw Tong Jiang's painful and frightened struggle, looking at him viciously and hatefully, the crescent moon was full of liver and gall, but as if he was pulled by death, he kept stabbing the dagger into Tong Jiang's body, as if he was afraid that Tong Jiang was too painful and wanted to end his life quickly, and as if he was afraid that Tong Jiang would not be able to die and come back to her for revenge.
Even though Tinghan and Tingxue were all prepared, they were paralyzed to the ground with fright, and Nanyu and Lotus Root hugged each other in horror and suppressed their cries. Zheng Ting nodded with satisfaction: "Crescent Moon, you killed someone, we all saw it, if you leak the secret of my Zheng family, you will also die without a place to bury!"
The blood-stained dagger fell to the ground with a thud, and the crescent moon was full of blood donations all over her body, and she bowed her body low, and her voice was like a mosquito fly: "Yes...... The slave understands. β
"Nanyu, lotus root, you two go to the back garden and dispose of the corpse. Clean the house again!"
The two girls were suddenly named by Zheng Ting, and their bodies trembled violently in fright.
"Yes, slave, slave and maid will go. β
"The slave knows. Zheng Ting took the lead out of the door and walked to a place where no one was, she stopped, leaned her back against the cold courtyard door, and closed her eyes tightly. She was scared, too, but she had no choice. But Guan was still lying in bed and couldn't get up at this time, how could Mrs. Zheng help her when she was old. If several girls join forces to deal with her, she has no chance of winning. But she didn't give them the time and opportunity to plot behind their backs.
As long as Guan's illness is better, the excerpts in the palace will be sent back. They went to their grandmother's side, and the people and things here would gradually calm down.
Late at night, Crescent Moon returned to her room, the blood on her hands and the clothes on her body had been disposed of, but she still felt that her whole body was bloody when she opened and closed her eyes. "Mother, if you have a spirit in heaven, why do you want to watch your daughter suffer so much, why don't you help your daughter......" Her whole body was shrouded in great fear, and she couldn't sleep peacefully lying on the couch, and tears kept sliding out of her eyes: "What should I do......"
Zheng Ting is so ruthless, she does not hesitate to kill people for the sake of wealth and wealth, if she really gains power in the future, will she let them go? Now Zheng Ting left them just for fear of attracting the attention of people with a heart! The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became, she sat up from the bed suddenly, no, she wanted to run for her life!
Zheng Ting was afraid that she would tell her this secret, but if she stopped paying attention to these things of the Zheng family and escaped with her life to go incognito, where would Zheng Ting find her! Although the deed of sale was in her hands, would she dare to openly go to the yamen to sue her and arrest her? Thinking of this, the crescent moon immediately got up, simply took the things she usually used and a few coins and broken silver, took a deep breath, opened the door and slipped out.
The courtyard was dark, and the courtyard doors were firmly locked, but she used to follow Zheng Jiao and knew that there was a dog hole in Zheng Xu's yard to go outside. At this time, Zheng Ting should be in the courtyard of the Guan family. The crescent moon didn't even dare to breathe loudly, slowed down her steps, and moved close to the wall almost all the way, but fortunately, the Zheng family was not big, and the subordinates left, and soon she touched the corner behind Zheng Xu's courtyard.
Because of the rain this morning, there were snowflakes drifting for a while, and the area around the cave entrance was wet. But the crescent moon couldn't care about it at this time, she stood and listened with bated breath for a while, there was no movement around, so she lay on the ground, squeezed out of the dog hole little by little, and just as her feet climbed out, there was a sudden noise in the yard, and there were voices everywhere. Two people had already arrived nearby, listening to Nanyu's voice: "What should I do, I'm just going to the toilet, she's gone, if I let the eldest girl know, will I ...... me?"
Lotus Root whispered: "Okay, don't talk about it, it's important to find someone, who would have thought that she would dare to run!"
Crescent Moon's heart beat faster, seeing that there was no one around, she lifted her skirt and ran on her toes into the black alley. Then, just as she was passing through an alley and was about to turn, a figure suddenly flashed out of the spur, grabbed her wrist and swept deeper into another alley with lightning speed!
The crescent moon was stunned and frightened, and when she reacted, the man had already run away with her, but he didn't mean to catch her back, but ran away with her to other places!
This person was dressed in dark clothes, not very tall, but also much taller than her, and holding her was no different from pinching a little chicken. No matter how hard she struggled, her arms were still clenched, like a rope, and she couldn't break free at all! The man saw that she was struggling and almost fell, and suddenly said: "Don't make a sound, don't you want to die! Or do you want to be caught back and killed by that poisonous woman in your family?"
The crescent moon was stunned by his sudden words, and almost forgot to be afraid. But she was dragged in pain, and she ran out of breath, and she had no time to say anything, and when the man finally stopped, she was already dizzy!
The man didn't give her a respite and looked around before pushing her into a room.
The room was very dark, and only one candle was lit. But she could still clearly see a man lying on the bed inside. The crescent moon's legs were like lead, and it took half a day to move a step. The person who robbed her from behind couldn't help urging with some impatience: "You know him, what are you afraid of, hurry over." β
The crescent moon didn't dare to hesitate any longer, and walked a few steps to the front of the bed. The person who stepped on it had his eyes open, but his face was pale, his lips were bloodless, his upper body was covered with a white cloth, and his chest was stained with blood. "Moon...... Tooth...... Yes, you?"
The person on the bed spit out every word with great difficulty, confused, but the crescent moon still heard the voice very familiar, she bent slightly to look at his face, Lang Ruoxingchen's eyebrows and eyes were so dazzling and handsome, even if he was weak and lost blood, it would not make people feel overshadowed. The crescent moon couldn't help but be shocked: "You...... Are you an uncle?"
Zhao Shi seemed powerless to answer, and the person behind him said: "It seems that you are the girl of the Zheng family!"
The crescent moon took a step back in the corner: "What's going on? Isn't my uncle dead? Why is he here?" The crescent moon doesn't know why Zhao Shi is not dead, but looking at the scene in front of her, it is clear that things are not simple, what can you do with her! She's just a girl! "I'm just a girl from the Zheng family, I don't know anything, you let me go!"
Zhao Shi's hand was raised slightly, and he motioned for the Xuanyi man to explain to her. When the man received the instructions, he said, "The uncle in front of you is my young master, and I have been looking for him since he disappeared." This time, he rolled down the hill with the carriage, and unexpectedly remembered what had happened before, so he contacted me through the person who rescued him, and thus saved his life. β
"You, what do you mean by that?" Crescent struggled to digest his words, "And who the hell is he?"
