The night was deep, and there was a faint mist in the air. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
It's not uncommon for autumn nights to be foggy.
And this fog came in time for Lan Xue and Murong Qing tonight as if heaven helped.
It's just that this mansion is really worthy of spending a lot of money to buy, and the rooms here are not too many, and the two of them walked in the fog, looking for room by room, and finally found the room where the couple lived after a stick of incense.
"Just go in?" Murong Qing asked in a low voice.
"Or else?" Lan Xue gave him a blank look, pushed the door directly and walked in.
The moonlight was obscured by the mist, making the room extremely dark, Lan Xue took out the fire fold from her arms, lit the candle on the table, and suddenly, the room lit up.
"Who?" At this time, a woman's voice sounded on the bed inside, and then she was heard screaming violently: "Lao Lin, why is the light on?" ”
The one called Lao Lin seemed to be still asleep, and just snorted, "What! You're dreaming! Let's sleep! It's not too early. ”
"Sleep what you sleep! Lao Lin, get up and take a look, why is it lit up outside! As he spoke, he slapped the man a few times.
The man couldn't sleep either, so he sat up, and when he saw the light outside, he suddenly became furious, and hurriedly said, "Why is the light on?" I went to sleep when I blew it out! ”
"Don't say it, you... Go and see what's going on! The woman hurriedly shouted.
Lao Lin also responded, put on his shoes and ran out, but when he saw the two people sitting at the table at the door at the moment, he was so frightened that he almost sat on the ground, and said in a trembling voice: "You... Who are you? Are you human or ghost? No, ghosts are afraid of light, who are you? ”
Lan Xue just looked at him coldly, and only said lightly after a while: "You all come out, let's talk!" ”
When the man heard Lan Xue's words, he immediately screamed in shock, and then hurriedly shouted, "Someone! Come on! Someone's barging in, come on! The man shouted like this for a long time, but he didn't hear the slightest movement outside, turned his head and looked at the calm appearance of the two people, and suddenly understood, and said tremblingly: "You... You guys that they killed? ”
"What about killing? We're here for you, so come and sit down while I don't want to. Lan Xue's voice was indifferent and there was a slight chill, which made the man feel chills all over his body, and he didn't dare to say anything, so he hurriedly turned around and ran in, and then walked out with a woman trembling after a while.
"Sit down! Let's talk. Lan Xue said lightly.
When the couple saw this, they dared to sit down, so they had to stand there, with panicked faces.
Seeing this, Lan Xue didn't care anymore, thought about it, and said: "Although I don't know how much benefit that person promised you, I just want to know the truth, what happened that night a month and a half ago, and what you saw, I hope you can answer me honestly, if you let me know that you are lying to me with a word, I promise, you will not come out of this room again." ”
Lan Xue's words were very plain, but they fell on the couple's ears like a sharp sword, piercing the hearts of the two of them and making them cold.
"Say it!" Murong Qing on the side also said indifferently. The smile on his face was also put away at some point.
The woman hurriedly stabbed the man beside her and whispered, "Say it quickly! What are you still doing in a daze? ”
The man also came back to his senses and hurriedly said, "I... I don't know what I'm going to say! ”
Lan Xue's eyes were cold, but then she said lightly: "Okay, then I'll ask you, I'll ask you, I'll say a question." ”
"Good!" The man nodded hurriedly.
After a moment of silence, Lan Xue said, "Did you see Lan Ling Lan from the Lan Mansion that night?" ”
"Yes, I did, and he's... Also in one place with a woman. The man replied hurriedly.
"But there are other people besides the two of them?"
"Others? This..."The man was about to hesitate, but he happened to meet Lan Xue's cold eyes, and immediately trembled, and said, "Yes!" And one more! I saw it clearly, it was a man! ”
"Are you sure? Why did you see so clearly at night? Lan Xue said coldly.
The man hurriedly said: "Although it was night, but when they entered the tavern, there was a bright light outside the tavern, and I was also curious, so I walked a few more steps and looked at it a few times, so I recognized it clearly, it was indeed a man." ”
Lan Xue nodded, then turned her head and said, "Did you bring the portrait?" ”
"Bring it!" Murong Qing said and took out four portraits from his arms, placed them on the table, and said, "Come over and recognize them, and see which one of the people you see is this?" ”
The man trembled, but slowly walked to the two of them, glanced at the four portraits, and immediately recognized the person he saw that night, and hurriedly pointed to the second portrait and said, "It's him!" I recognize the other man that night! ”
"Who is this man?" Lan Xue looked at the second portrait, which depicted a man who looked young but had two beards, who was quite handsome, but gave people a sense of immaturity.
"This person's name is Wen Zhengsu, he is a descendant of the Wen family, he came from a small place, and then he was arranged by Prime Minister Wen to enter the Hanlin Academy. This person doesn't have any big skills, but he likes to eat, drink, and have fun with people on weekdays, or pat himself on the back and the like. ”
Lan Xue nodded, then turned her head to look at the man, and said lightly: "I hope you can forget all these words we came here to ask you, and you haven't seen us tonight, so that everyone will be fine, and you can continue to hold what belongs to you, and I won't embarrass you." Of course, in the end, she didn't know if they would actually survive.
With Wen Peijian's ruthless methods, I am afraid that after this matter subsides, the couple will be more auspicious! Of course, she doesn't have time to care about this kind of thing, it's not that she doesn't care about the lives of others, but that they made this choice in the first place, and they need to pay the price for this choice.
The two of them nodded busily and said yes, they would only say it if they were stupid! You can only survive if you don't say anything.
Seeing their happy appearance, Lan Xue was relieved, and then left with Murong Qing.
drilled the dog hole again, and then it wasn't until he got into the carriage that Murong Qing let out a long breath and said, "It's finally over." ”
Lan Xue looked at the portrait and said lightly: "Go back and sleep at night, and let's go see that Wen Zhengsu tomorrow!" ”
