Chapter Twenty-Eight: Murderous Opportunities
Chapter Twenty-Eight: Murderous Opportunities
The journey from Zhuangzi to Beijing is as fast as two days and as long as three days. Wang Yushi advocated frugality, but he did not use the soft sedan chair arranged by Qian Wanli, but only ordered two carriages, and two of Jiang Ruan's three boxes had already sold silver tickets, and the remaining boxes of books were loaded into the carriage, saving a lot of land.
In addition to Angelica Angelica and Forsythia, the accompanying maids also brought dewdrops. Before leaving, Luzhu offered to serve Jiang Ruan, originally Jiang Ruan also planned to let Xiaoyuan follow, these two girls are clever and smart, rare and bold, only Xiaoyuan is a child, unwilling to leave his parents, politely declined Jiang Ruan's kindness. Jiang Ruan did not force it, and left a sum of money for her, which should be to repay her kindness.
Dew is a girl bought from outside, she was sold into the hands of traffickers by relatives after the death of her parents, she has met a lot of people in the north and south, she is very clever, and after a short period of getting along, Bai Zhi and Forsythia are already very close to her.
Because of Jiang Ruan and other female dependents, Qian Wanli, in order to curry favor with Wang Yushi, specially arranged for Li Mi and another official to escort Jiang Ruan back to Beijing. It's all the way down. The dew drops are lively, talking about the strange things he has seen in the days when he followed the traffickers to the north and south, perhaps he is naturally optimistic, and everything he says is full of interest, and he can't see a little depression, but the sadness in it is probably only known to himself. Bai Zhi and Forsythia naturally understood that one of them was gentle and the other was outgoing, and the three of them were chattering so lively, Jiang Ruan leaned on the carriage, holding a book, and lived a good life.
Most of the two-day itinerary has passed, and after resting tonight, I may be able to arrive in Beijing tomorrow at noon.
Li Mi and another servant pony followed Wang Yushi in another carriage, it was getting late, Li Mi heard that there was a temple in front of him, and saw that there was a wilderness everywhere, and it was a little difficult to find an inn, so he decided to stay overnight after asking Jiang Ruan's meaning.
The temple is still quite large, but the incense is not too prosperous, it may be located in the deep mountains and wilderness, there are few people who offer incense, and there are not even a few monks who come and go.
Bai Zhi and Forsythia have not entered the temple for a long time, when Zhao Mei was still there, he often took Jiang Ruan to Putuo Temple to pray for blessings, after Zhao Mei died, Jiang Ruan went to Zhuangzi, life became more and more harsh, there was neither time nor money, sesame oil money is also money, and it is necessary to pay the price for seeking the blessing of the Bodhisattva.
Luzhu is no stranger to the temple, and while Bai Zhi and Forsythia were cleaning up the house, they had already turned the entire temple around according to Jiang Ruan's instructions, and came back with some food. While beckoning Jiang Ruan to eat while it was hot, he explained the layout of the temple for Jiang Ruan.
Night has come, Wang Yushi and Li Mi were arranged to live on the other side of the temple because they are male dependents, Li Mi was a little hesitant, but thought that after all, the reputation of everyone's young lady was important, and although the temple was spacious, it was really too late to do anything.
Forsythia cut the wick that had grown in the oil lamp with scissors, and the light appeared brighter, Jiang Ruan put down the book in his hand and rubbed the corner of his forehead.
"Girl, it's so late, isn't it time to rest?" Bai Zhi asked. At this time in the past few days, Jiang Ruan had already rested, but today he was very energetic, and he had no intention of collapsing at all.
"Don't worry, there's a good show tonight." Jiang Ruan smiled slightly. I remembered what I asked Li Mi in the carriage before: "My lord, this temple is the only way to return to Beijing?" ”
"Yes," Li Mi replied, "and there is only one temple within a radius of dozens of miles." ”
Retracting his thoughts, he heard Forsythia ask curiously, "What's the show?" ”
"Dewdrops." Jiang Ruan said.
Dew pushed the door in, smiled and said, "It's all done, girl." ”
In the middle of the winter night, the ink was pouring in, and the temple fell into a deathly silence, except for the sound of whimpering winds.
The lights were all gone, and only the pale moonlight of the waning moon shone on the snow, and in an instant, large dark clouds overflowed, blocking the faint moonlight firmly. There is only darkness left under the earth.
In the deep darkness, several sneaky figures suddenly appeared in the courtyard, and after checking in several rooms, they rushed into one of the rooms.
There was silence in the courtyard, and there seemed to be a bell or two ringing softly.
The girl in the dark opened her eyes, a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes, smiled slightly, and said softly: "Forsythia, Angelica dahurica." ”
The two maids nodded, got up, pushed the door open, and walked out the door.
Jiang Ruan stood in the room, everything in the next room had been arranged, she didn't sleep in that room at all, she hid in the adjacent room for so long, and finally caught a turtle in the urn.
When she returned home in her previous life, she also lived in such a temple, and her memory was too vague, and she only remembered that the monks and abbots in that temple did not know whether they were deliberately embarrassed or what, and the food they ate and slept in the room were extremely harsh. At that time, she didn't understand what it was for, but now that she thinks about it, it should be the handiwork of Xia Yan's mother and daughter. It's just that at that time, they still needed her to be a pawn to enter the palace, so they just let it go because of the embarrassment. Now that she has changed her body and returned to Jiang's Mansion as Gao Yi's daughter with such fanfare, Xia Yan and Jiang Susu are afraid that they will not be too happy.
The day after that, they always had to be the roadblocks on her way home. Only this time, what they want is her life!
There is no incense left in the temple, I received Xia Yan's silver, and I did things for Xia Yan, and there were "a small number" of monks left here with good intentions, and then "considerate" Jiang Ruan's reputation distinguishes between men and women, once something happens, she has no way to ask for help, so she can only suffer it herself!
It's just that now she is a demon who has returned from hell, and she is the only one who has come to ask for her life!
There was a slight bell ringing in the next room, it was a code, very good, she put a lot of smoke in the room, and the dew drops took the antidote in advance, and once the people of the Xia Yan faction entered the house, they could only be slaughtered. Tomorrow morning, she will still put the bodies of these people in front of the Buddha statues in the temple, Li Mi is a servant, and it must be investigated, as for how the abbot explains, let them justify themselves.
Jiang Ruan straightened her skirt and was about to push open the door to take a look in the next room, but just walked to the door, but the door was pushed suddenly, and a figure flashed in from outside. Jiang Ruan was startled, hurriedly took a few steps back, the other party didn't seem to expect that there was someone in the house, the movement was slightly sluggish, and in a short moment, Jiang Ruan retreated too fast, accidentally stepped on the corner of his overly large skirt, and leaned back, and was about to fall.
The other party also moved fast, seeing that she was about to fall, he subconsciously reached out to hold her waist, and in a moment the two of them were very close, Jiang Ruan's face touched the other party's cold black lin rolling pattern clothing, she was stunned, and in an instant, the dark clouds faded, the moonlight overflowed the flower window, Jiang Ruan raised his head, and faced a pair of cold star-like eyes.
