43. Chapter 43

Compared to the ghosts that could not be seen or touched, the still alive iron shoes were obviously easier to deal with, and the new and old hatreds were combined, and everyone in the hall quickly discussed a plan. If you still pretended to be just to let Hua Manlou untie the knot, at this moment, you are bent on luring the snake out of the hole, laying a net so that the iron shoes will no longer have nowhere to escape.

Hua Manqi does not compete for the lead, the iron shoes are Song Wencao, no matter how good their plan is, they will not achieve the desired result in the end, so he will be a junior with peace of mind, serve in the back, and observe his suspected fellow villagers by the way.

Unexpectedly, he found a trace of disapproval in Yusheng's eyes.

Why not? Hua Manqi should think that it was because he also knew Song Wencao's true identity.

Yusheng didn't think about covering it up, so it was not just Hua Manqi who he didn't think it was. It's just that compared to the other people here, he is still a guest in the end, although he thinks that he doesn't take Lou'er too seriously, Hua Ruling still asked, "Nephew Yuxian, I don't know what's wrong with what we said?" โ€

"The seniors have a careful plan, and even the iron shoes can't escape the palms of the seniors, even if they can only burrow rats. It's just that everyone has overlooked one thing. Yusheng couldn't help but ask, "The news that Iron Shoes is not dead, do you plan to continue to hide the news from Hua Manlou?" โ€

"Iron shoes have always been Lou'er's heart knot, if he knows about this, it will inevitably be chaotic for a while, so that iron shoes will take advantage of the loophole." Flowers are like orders.

Yusheng really sighed this time, "Although I don't know why you regard iron shoes as a knot in the heart of Hua Manlou, I can be sure that those iron shoes really don't have that much weight." Besides, Hua Manlou is no longer the immature son of the year, not to mention literary talent, just martial arts, I'm afraid that the iron shoes are no longer his opponent. โ€

"Brother Yu is right." Lu Xiaofeng was the first to agree, "If the iron shoes have the ability to hurt Hua Manlou, I'm afraid they won't pretend to be ghosts like before." And in the past ten years, there has been no rumor of iron shoes on the rivers and lakes, I am afraid that he spent a lot of money to escape back then, even if he did not lose his martial arts, I am afraid he was seriously injured. โ€

"If that's the case, how can I come and go without a trace in my Huajiabao, leaving no trace......" Hua Ruling suddenly paused. Back then, he thought that the iron shoes were dead, and some things naturally didn't think much about it, but now once he clicked it through, he figured it all out, "The iron shoes are in my Huajiabao!" โ€

"Dad, what did you say? Didn't the Iron Shoes die?! Hua Manlou, who had just come in, heard these words, and he didn't care to ask the other senior writers first, so he asked them directly.

Hua Ruling started the matter from the beginning, of course, he omitted the part where he wanted to ask Lu Xiaofeng to play the iron shoes, although the rest was speculation, but he already believed it in his heart.

If you haven't experienced illness, you won't know how important a healthy body is; If you haven't lost the light, you won't feel how hopeless the endless darkness is. Hua Manlou is naturally resentful of the iron shoes, but the iron shoes are dead, and this resentment has nowhere to susten, and over time, it is hidden in the bottom of his heart and does not see the light of day, so long that he almost thinks that this resentment has disappeared.

It wasn't until he heard the news of Iron Shoes' life again from his father.

"Hua Manlou, is there something that happened between you and Iron Shoes that only the two of you know about and is a great threat to him?" Lu Xiaofeng still didn't understand, "Forgive me for being rude, if Iron Shoes really resents the Hua family because of the death of his accomplice back then, he has a better way to retaliate, instead of just staring at Hua Manlou." Compared with Hua Manlou, wouldn't it be easier for the young masters in the house to get it? โ€

Hua Manqi glanced at Lu Xiaofeng appreciatively, although he was a little short-circuited in the relationship between men and women, he was still very reliable when he was serious. Song Wencao was so suspicious of the toss, not to get the Hanhai Jade Buddha stored in the Hua family with his daughter.

"I've seen his face." Hua Manlou, who had been silent, said, "Before I lost my sight, the last thing I saw was his face. โ€

"The only reason to be patronized by robbers is to have the treasures they want at home." Yusheng, who hadn't been patronized much in the previous world but knew a lot of thieves' victims, looked affirmative.

The voices of the two sounded one after the other, making Lu Xiaofeng think more.

Hua Ruling flashed a flash of inspiration in his mind, but the aura disappeared too quickly, so he couldn't grasp the clue, and finally just asked the housekeeper to check the roster of people in the family, hoping to find some clues from it. As long as the iron shoes are really hidden in Huajiabao, Hua Ruling is still very confident that he will be pulled out.

โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•

The moon is crooked, and the river is splendid. The evening breeze on the face carries a faint fragrance of flowers, and the noble son in the yellow shirt caresses the piano by the window. The sound of the piano is not agitating, but makes people drowsy, and it is a good lullaby.

Of course, the person who wanted to be sleepy still didn't make it.

Because he had a noisy monk beside him.

Yusheng never felt that Wuhua was a warm-hearted person, which made him have to doubt his purpose.

"He goes and worships me every year. This time, if it weren't for him, I'm afraid the people of Shaolin would never find out that the relics were stolen. "Wuhua is still moved by Hua Manlou, especially when there is no interest involved, it seems that Hua Manlou is sincere." He is very confused now, and if he doesn't enlighten him in time, he is afraid that he will have demons. โ€

When you listen to your piano, you will have demons. Silently sneering, Yusheng listened attentively, the sound of the piano was already low and hoarse, and the owner of the piano seemed to be distracted, only occasionally plucking the strings.

"An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, what's so incomprehensible." There were no outsiders in the courtyard, Yusheng casually put on his robe, pushed the door out, and stood in front of the window of the flowery building, just in time to see the confusion on his face.

"Uncle Jade." Hua Manlou stood with his hands tied, and subconsciously called out the most familiar name. "Did I disturb your rest?"

"It's not you." Yusheng looked at Hua Manlou, "Iron Shoes is still alive, this is good news for you." You should now wipe the sword, not play the harp. โ€

Revenge or something, it's always more enjoyable to do it yourself.

"If I hadn't known that Iron Shoes wasn't dead, I should have been wiping my sword." Hua Manlou stood up and picked up a peachwood sword from the shelf on the side.

The peachwood sword is the most suitable for slaying demons and eliminating demons.

"You can't kill anyone with this sword." Yusheng smiled, I didn't expect Hua Manlou to have such an innocent and cute side.

"I really thought it was a ghost." Hua Manlou was a little embarrassed, but it diluted the confusion on his face.

"What about Lu Xiaofeng?" Yusheng asked. If he heard it correctly before, Lu Xiaofeng was resting in the courtyard of the flowery building like himself, but now that it was the middle of the moon, he was still nowhere to be seen. Lu Xiaofeng, like Chu Liuxiang, is an excellent friend, and at this time, he is the most suitable person who originally came to solve Hua Manlou.

"Lu Xiaofeng has gone to see Dazhi Datong." Hua Manlou knew Lu Xiaofeng's whereabouts, "He thinks that Iron Shoes, or the accomplice who escaped with Iron Shoes back then, since he has been quiet for so many years, will not hit me with the idea as soon as he emerges." Compared with my nephews, they are stronger in both mind and kung fu, and it is more difficult for them to get the iron shoes. Therefore, he decided that this was a trick of Ming Xiu Plank Road and dark Chen Cang. โ€

"And then?"

"Then he went to find Dazhi Datong, as long as there is nothing that happened on this Jianghu and Dazhi Datong does not know, maybe he can get some clues from it." Hua Manlou smiled, obviously trusting Lu Xiaofeng very much.

Yusheng began to be interested in this big wisdom chase.

Perhaps he already knew that he was startled, and in the next few days, there was no movement in the iron shoes. The Hua family filtered the people on the roster, and did not find any suspicious people on it, but took this opportunity to sort out the housekeeping. This does not mean that they can be relieved, but they are more vigilant.

What's more, the people who came to celebrate his birthday this time actually had Jin Jiuling, the chief catcher of six doors, if there was nothing wrong with it that they hadn't discovered yet, no one would believe it.

Lu Xiaofeng, who had already gotten what he wanted to know from Dazhi Datong, also rushed back the day before the birthday banquet, and he and Jin Jiuling were also friends, and after a few conversations, they asked him about his intention.

"Among the people who came to congratulate the old man Hua on his birthday was the envoy of Hanhai Kingdom, and the imperial court heard that there was some turmoil in Hanhai, and he was afraid that someone would take advantage of this to make trouble, so he was sent to keep an eye on him." During the small talk in the evening, Lu Xiaofeng told Hua Manlou about this matter, and took out a wine jug, "Try this, Jin Jiuling specially made good wine, but it took me a lot of tongue to come to this pot." โ€

Lu Xiaofeng is very confident in Jin Jiuling's taste, that guy is very picky, he wants the best everything, and he can make him divide a pot of wine that makes his flesh hurt, and before he drank it, Lu Xiaofeng felt that he was already drunk.

Hua Manlou can make wine, and naturally he will also taste wine, so he tasted the very light medicinal taste in the wine, and he has always been well-informed and knowledgeable, and he couldn't tell what it was for a while.

Maybe it's some kind of herbs added when making sake? Hua Manlou thought in his heart, out of trust in his friend, he didn't continue to think about it.

Hua Manlou didn't drink much, the next day was the birthday banquet, if the iron shoes will do it, it is likely to be chosen tomorrow.

However, surprisingly, the birthday banquet went very smoothly, except that the spices in the wine of the Western Regions were too strong and some were not beautiful, and the rest of the place was beyond reproach. Waiting until the guests said goodbye and left, nothing happened. Just when everyone wondered if it was the iron shoes who retreated, Hua Ruling, who listened to the advice of the housekeeper who came in in a hurry, turned his face ugly.

"Uncle Hua, but what's wrong?" Lu Xiaofeng's eyes were the sharpest, and he asked.

Hua Ruling wanted to speak again and again, and finally sighed and said nothing.

"But what's missing?" Lu Xiaofeng continued to ask.

Now, it is no longer a problem of the Hua family, since Jin Jiuling is here, it means that the imperial court is paying attention to this matter, and once something really happens, the imperial court will inevitably intervene. Therefore, Hua Ruling felt that the Hanhai Jade Buddha was not easy to say was said by Jin Jiuling empathetically.

The Hanhai Jade Buddha was stolen.

"Hanhai Jade Buddha?" Wuhua, who was forced to silence by Yusheng's threat, popped up again, "How could the Hanhai Jade Buddha appear in the Central Plains?" โ€

"Hanhai Jade Buddha?" If you don't understand, just ask, Yusheng thinks it's a good quality.

"The owner of the Jade Village also knows about the Hanhai Jade Buddha?" Jin Jiuling looked at Yusheng, the six doors have always paid attention to the dynamics of the rivers and lakes, and some people who are not โ–กโ–ก are also on their supervision list. The wine-colored wealth Zhuang who secretly buys and sells officials is naturally on the list, but the old owner who was focused on a few years ago suddenly floated out to sea and gave his family business to a person who suddenly appeared.

Jin Jiuling knew Yusheng, his medical skills were superb, his martial arts were mediocre, and he didn't have any royal skills, but in two or three years, he, the owner of the village, was almost overlooked, but he himself was unaware. However, Six Doors is not hostile to Yusheng, such a person who likes to throw money and do good deeds is much more secure than the previous owner.

"I only heard that the people of Hanhai Country are good Buddhas, and if the king of Hanhai wants to ascend the throne, the Hanhai Jade Buddha must be indispensable." Yusheng repeated Wuhua's words, "Except for the Hanhai King, the Jade Buddha is just a Jade Buddha to ordinary people. โ€

No one will miss the subtext of Yusheng, among the people who come to the Hua family to pay their respects, there are people from Hanhai Kingdom.

Hua Manqi felt that the Hua family would soon have a son who would marry out, and in order to soak in the flowers, this Yusheng was really ruthless with spoilers.

"That's right." Jin Jiuling affirmed, "The imperial court has reported that the king of Hanhai Kingdom is seriously ill, and several of his sons are ready to move, at this time, whoever gets the Hanhai Jade Buddha will be the next king of Hanhai Kingdom." โ€

"But the Hanhai Jade Buddha was lost in the Hua family." Hua Ruling looked depressed, as if she had aged several years all of a sudden.

"I wonder if the Lord of Flower Castle can take me to see the place where the Hanhai Jade Buddha is stored?" Jin Jiuling asked.

At this time, Hua Ruling had no need to continue to conceal it, he nodded, and then led everyone into the secret room of the Hua family. The place where the Hanhai Jade Buddha was placed is now empty, except for the newly written blood characters on the wall.

"It's Iron Shoes!" Hua Ruling suddenly became excited.

It is not the same as guessing that Iron Shoes is not dead and now there is empirical evidence that Iron Shoes is not dead, and at this moment, the secret room is very quiet.

The appearance of the Iron Shoe seems to have changed something, and it seems that nothing has changed. The Hanhai Jade Buddha has been stolen, and the iron shoes that have been won will not stay in Huajiabao again. The premise is that the stolen Hanhai Jade Buddha is real.

Therefore, when a group of people swarmed in and pointed at themselves and called them Iron Shoes, Yusheng was really not surprised at all.

"What does that mean?" Without looking at Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou standing at the edge of the crowd, Yusheng sat up from the bed and gathered the middle coat that had been scattered.

His every move was calm and unhurried, and he was very generous, as if he was not called from his sleep, but he was polite and thoughtful in his clothes, and it showed how rude this group of people who were uninvited were there.

"Yuxian's nephew." Hua Ruling's face was very ugly, "Iron Shoes began to kill people again, and we followed his traces to find here." โ€

"Do you suspect him in my bed?" Yusheng tied her clothes and spoke sarcastically.

"Iron shoes are naturally not in your bed, because you are iron shoes!" A man jumped out, and Yusheng remembered that the man's surname was Guan, "It was you who killed Wu Zhangmen, and we were chasing after you, so you hurried back to the wing room, pretending to be asleep to hide people's eyes!" โ€

"Ridiculous!" Yusheng reprimanded, "I'm not feeling well today, and I've been staying in the room, how can I kill the Wu Zhangmen you said?" โ€

"We'll find out if it's you!" Guan Daxia looked upright, "We are chasing very closely, you must not have time to deal with the clothes and masks you take off!" โ€

"What if not?"

"If not, I'll make amends later."

"Remember what you say." Yusheng stepped back, stood in the corner, and watched the so-called Guan Daxia take the lead, lift his own futon, and then turn up other places after finding nothing.

The result, of course, was nothing.

"Did you find it?" Yusheng asked.

Guan Daxia did not show weakness, "I haven't seen the vase behind you yet." โ€

The vase is so tall that it is usually only used for decoration, but when the weather is hot in the summer, you can put ice cubes in it to cool the house. It's not obvious, but it's a good place to hide things.

And inside, it just so happens that there really is a set of black robes and a mask.

"The evidence is conclusive, see what else you have to say?" As soon as Guan Daxia said this, the eyes of the other people in the room who looked at Yusheng immediately changed.

"This is a false accusation, what is there to say." Yusheng's face was unfazed.

Hua Manqi stood at the end of the crowd, frowning secretly. He had long expected that the plot would change, but he didn't expect it to change. Of course, he knew that Yusheng was not an iron shoe, but even a person like him who knew who the iron shoe was felt that he had been deliberately approaching Hua Manlou, let alone others. And since there is such a good target for planting, how could Song Wencao let the surname Guan be exposed?

This basin of dirty water is sturdy, even if Lu Xiaofeng finds out the truth afterwards, it is enough to make people mess up at this time, so that someone can fish in troubled waters.

With such a complete set of human and material evidence, Yusheng was at a loss for words, and he didn't intend to argue. After the group had counted their suspicious points and bitterly confessed their sinister intentions, he only glanced at Hua Manlou, "Facts always speak louder than words." โ€

This sentence that can be called a confession made Song Wencao's heart jump, and he always felt that things would not go so smoothly. Sure enough, the next moment, he noticed that Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou were one after the other, blocking his retreat.

"That's right." Hua Manlou nodded, "Even if we have intersected for many years, we still know people and faces." โ€

"Lou'er?" Hua Ruling was a little confused about the development in front of her.

"Doctor Song, according to your friendship with your father, it is not an exaggeration for me to call you a uncle." Hua Manlou faced Song Wencao, "So, it's really hard for me to believe that you have something to do with the Iron Shoe Thief." โ€

"Lou'er?!" Mr. Hua expressed his shock at this development.

"Uncle Hua, here's the thing." Lu Xiaofeng opened his mouth and said, "When the Hanhai Jade Buddha was lost that day, I saw that although you were surprised, you were not too worried, so I speculated that the lost might not be the real Hanhai Jade Buddha. Once he stole the iron shoes of the Hanhai Jade Buddha and found out about this, he would definitely not give up, so I teamed up with Brother Hua and Brother Yu to set up this plan to lure the iron shoes into the bait and let him show his feet. โ€

"Among the guests who have not left yet, Brother Yu's origin is easy to make a fuss, except for me, he is only a little familiar with Lu Xiaofeng. Once he gets involved with Iron Shoes, he can easily fall into a situation of isolation and helplessness. At this time, I will also lose my mind because of the iron shoes, as for Lu Xiaofeng, he naturally believes me. "Spending a lot of buildings," once there is a public target, then it will naturally relax in other aspects. So, we gave the people behind the scenes a chance to make a public contribution. โ€

"I've never left this yard because I've been feeling unwell these days, and it's also because of my strange temperament...... What a great opportunity to not let anyone else into my room. Yusheng looked at Guan Daxia, "Being alone means that no one knows what I'm doing, and if something happens, no one can prove my innocence." โ€

"So, this is a game to lure the snake out of the hole?" Hua Ruling looked at Song Wencao, still a little incredulous.

"That's right, it's just that we were still negligent, but we didn't expect Iron Shoes to kill the black boss in order to create chaos." Speaking of which, Hua Manlou felt a little guilty.

"Nonsense!" Song Wencao reprimanded, "I don't know what to say! โ€

"If not, how can you explain the scent on your body?" Hua Manlou asked.

"What aroma?"

"In order to mark the cunning snake, Brother Yu lit a special spice in the room that was colorless and odorless, and as long as he entered the room, he would stick to his skin for three days. After discovering that there were more robes and masks in the house that did not belong to him, Brother Yu changed another spice, as long as the person who came to plant the house entered the room again, the aroma mixed with the aroma that had been attached to the skin before, and it only took a while for it to change into another smell. Lu Xiaofeng looked at Song Wencao, with undoubted firmness in his eyes, "Among the people present, except for me, Brother Yu, and Hua Manlou, you are the only one with this fragrance." โ€

Lu Xiaofeng was sure of what he said, but he had been guarding against Song Wen Grass Dog jumping off the wall in a hurry, but he didn't expect that it was Guan who thought he was being deceived who was the first to attack.

The shadow of the famous tree, Guan Daxia has always been above board, Lu Xiaofeng believed that he would be misled and blinded, but he didn't expect that he and Song Wencao were the same dog.

Yusheng was a little depressed because he seemed to be pinched like a soft persimmon. The surname Guan doesn't look for others, but he wants to cut himself, so he has no need to be polite, he has been low-key for a long time, so long that almost everyone thinks that his kung fu is only third-rate.

Therefore, when Guan someone was paralyzed to the ground with his limbs off his joints, the whole person was confused.

Being knocked out by a soft persimmon is probably what he looks like.

Guan someone, who was suddenly in trouble, ended up like this, and Song Wencao, who was guarded by Lu Hua and the others, naturally won it easily, but he thought that he still had hole cards left outside, but he didn't lose his calm.

"This man must have a follow-up move." The experienced veteran villain Master Flowerless asserted.
