Chapter Eighty-Three: The Fox's Tail
"Brother Han, I miss you so much......" In the carriage, there was no one else, Ouyang Manshu lay in Shangguan Han's arms, and was so aggrieved that he shed tears again, "I learned that my father was going to attack the Shangguan family, I was so scared that I had no master and ran out secretly......"
"However, as soon as I got out of Shuzhong, I was met with bad people...... They said that they also happened to go to Liyue City, so let me follow them...... They took me to a remote place and robbed me of the money...... "Fortunately, those people were trying for money and didn't hurt her." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Fortunately, before she escaped from Ouyang's house, she sent a message to Shangguan Han. Fortunately, I finally waited for him. Otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Shangguan Han hugged her tightly and blamed, "You stupid girl, who let you run out." Didn't you say, wait for me to come back? ”
Ouyang Manshu shook his head, "Brother Han, you can't, you can't go back......"
"Why?" Could it be that the situation in Shuzhong is more tense than he imagined?
Ouyang Manshu then explained the situation after Shangguan Han left Shuzhong.
"Since my eldest brother left, my father has become more and more depressed, and he often locks himself in his eldest brother's room. I thought that my father was missing my eldest brother. But not long after you left, I accidentally noticed that someone was talking in my eldest brother's room. That voice is not Daddy. ”
"I asked my dad and he said I misheard. But I could hear it clearly, it was a stranger's voice. The man's voice was extremely hoarse, as if he was deliberately pinching his throat, and he couldn't distinguish between man and woman. ”
"What did they say?" Shangguan Han asked.
Ouyang Manshu shook his head, "I didn't hear it." I've only heard it once, and my father became suspicious and wary of me. ”
Since then, Daddy seems to have changed as a different person, going out early and returning late all day, not knowing what to do. His mother asked him a few times, but he either prevaricated or ignored him and turned to go to his aunt's room. Later, my mother didn't dare to ask. ”
"After you left Shuzhong, Daddy became even busier, and it was common not to go home for several days in a row. Every time I go home, I take a few strangers with me, and those people look so fierce, and their eyes look like they want to kill. A few nights ago, I tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, and I was inexplicably nervous, so I simply got up and wandered around the courtyard. ”
"After strolling around, I arrived outside the eldest brother's room. I heard the hoarse voice again, and this time, there was someone else besides him. They said that everything had been arranged, and they were waiting for the Shangguan family to celebrate the old lady's 70th birthday. ”
70th birthday? Three days later?
"When I heard their plot, I was so frightened that I retreated, and I didn't want to step on the stone and fall heavily to the ground. I hurriedly got up and hid under the lotus leaves in the pond, so that I could escape their search. You should know what happened next, and I wrote it clearly in my letter. ”
Ouyang Manshu doesn't know martial arts, and he is deep in the boudoir, how can he have walked so many roads and suffered so much. This is only a one-day trip from Shuzhong, and she walked for three days.
"Brother Han, you can't go back, they'll hurt you."
Seeing Shangguan Han's increasingly solemn eyes, Ouyang Manshu's heart tightened, and he asked cautiously, "Brother Han, my father can't live with the Shangguan family, will you blame me?" "Wouldn't you be angry with her, exactly?" I don't want to ...... like that."
"How could I blame you?" Shangguan Han stroked her hair, but her eyes looked in the direction of the car curtain.
Although the person is not in Shuzhong, Shangguan Han knows the situation in Shuzhong well. What Ouyang Manshu said was true, but he couldn't understand why Ouyang Wei, who had always been gentle and elegant, suddenly joined forces with Long Ba. What kind of promise did Long Ba give to the Ouyang family?
If the person behind the dragon is really His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, or the Four Princes, then what he can promise is wealth and wealth in addition to fame. Fame and wealth can indeed stimulate people's inner desires, but the Ouyang family will not be moved by these two. The ancestors of the Ouyang family and the ancestors of the Shangguan family were all people who bravely retreated from the rapids of officialdom, and they both warned future generations not to involve the court; As for wealth and nobility, although the Ouyang family is not as good as the Shangguan family, it can be regarded as a wealthy family in Shuzhong.
"But I couldn't stop my dad." Ouyang Manshu leaned on Shangguan Han's arms, feeling his touch, and the tension that had been in place for several days suddenly relaxed.
There was the sound of a car turning in my ears, and drowsiness gradually hit, and after a while, I fell asleep. Shangguan Han stared at Ouyang Manshu, his eyes were extremely deep.
……
In Liyue City, the whole city is under martial law.
"Report to your lordship, my subordinates have sent someone to check all the inns in the city, and in the past month, a total of three hundred and eight outsiders have stayed in the city, this is the list."
"The subordinates carefully checked the innkeeper, and most of these guests were from the rivers and lakes, with different accents, and should be from different places. They have a common characteristic, they are extremely cautious in their words and deeds, never raise their voices and laugh, and some of them do not even make a sound from beginning to end. ”
I don't know if I don't check, and I'm shocked when I check it. After serving in the yamen for decades, Li Zhutou naturally knew that this matter was not simple. It's just a small place away from Moon City, and suddenly so many masters of the rivers and lakes are pouring in, something big must happen.
He not only checked the inn, but also checked all the Fengyue places in the city, and none of those people went to patronize. This doesn't make sense! He vaguely felt that these people were both reckless and reckless, but they didn't seem to be. If the rivers and lakes are reckless, how can there be a reason not to patronize Fengyue places? It is reasonable to say that none of them will go, but more than 300 people will not go, which is almost impossible.
He Lanjun looked at the list carefully, and suddenly, several familiar names appeared in front of him, and he was shocked, "Focus on these people." ”
"Yes." Li Zhu took the order and hurriedly walked towards the yamen.
Helan Jun returned to the backyard, stared at the verdant bamboo, looked at it for a long time, and muttered a few inexplicable words, "A fox is a fox after all." "Even if he pretends to be a docile dog, he is still a fox inside. Count the time, it's time for the fox to make a move!
Soon, Li Zhutou found out the movements of several people that Helan Jun focused on, "My lord, two of them have left, and the other three are still in the city. "What remains in the city are the famous Xia Clan's three masters, Xia Chun, Xia Qiu and Xia Dong.
The Xia family has been darts for generations, and their martial arts are strong. In this generation, Mrs. Xia gave birth to triplets of sons, and the Xia family was overjoyed and attached great importance to these three sons. Xia Chun, Xia Qiu and Xia Dong also lived up to expectations, and since he was a child, he learned martial arts with his clansmen, and at the age of seventeen or eighteen, he began to take over from his father to walk the rivers and lakes.
"My lord, these three brothers of the Xia family are not easy to mess with." Li Zhutou reminded. The Xia family has been darts for many years, and most of them are shady businesses, and the relationship is intertwined and extremely complicated.
He Lanjun said coldly, "I'm not easy to mess with." (To be continued.) )
