Chapter 42: Repentance

Late at night, a ghostly figure appeared outside the courtyard wall of a house, saw that there was no one around, jumped up, jumped into the courtyard, and gently came to the window, knocking up one long and three short.

The man in the room woke up suddenly, listened carefully, then gently pushed the woman in his arms away, got dressed, and went outside.

Suddenly, a pair of fingers like iron tongs clasped his throat tightly, and the man struggled, and kept saying: "Big brother spare your life, big brother spare your life"

His throat was released, the man breathed heavily, looked at the murderous man in black in front of him, his face turned pale with fright, and he asked in disbelief: "Big brother, the task is complete?" I'll fetch you the remaining five thousand taels tomorrow."

The man in black stared at the man deadly: "Why don't you tell me that there are still secret guards there, and my twelve brothers are all folded there"

Speaking of this, the man was furious, kicked the man to the base of the wall, and then stepped forward with a few arrows, he really regretted that he had stepped on it well, and he had already planned to take seven brothers to entangle the guards, and the six to catch the little lady were a sure thing, why did they all die in the end?

The man in black wants to cry without tears, and his heart is like a thousand arrows piercing his heart!

After the man understood what had happened, he was also shocked, and then said to the man in black: "Big brother, don't worry, I will go to find out the news tomorrow, you recuperate here first, what is the matter, we are discussing!" ”

At this point, the man in black had no choice but to nod in agreement.

Mrs. Lian of the Zhenguo Mansion lazily leaned on the beauty couch, eating the nuts that the maid Chunyu peeled for him, a few nuts in her stomach, her mouth was a little dry, and Chunmei was busy serving a cup of fragrant tea.

Shen Lian looked at Chunyu with satisfaction, this little hoof still has some ability, and she actually inquired about her cousin who has been going to Zhuangzi often recently.

That damn slut, she has been so far away, and she hasn't forgotten to seduce her cousin, is there still me Shen Lian in this eye? Hum! It's a self-defeating one!

While thinking about it, the maid outside reported: "Mrs. Lian, the shopkeeper Li asks to see you"

Shen Lian was overjoyed, then covered her look, put on her coat unhurriedly, walked through the carved landscape marble screen, and entered the living room, and sure enough, she saw the shopkeeper Li inside.

She glanced at Chunyu, Chunyu led people to retreat outside the door, and after checking around, she nodded at Shen Lian, and then waited there quietly.

Shen Lian saw that there was no one in the room, and said happily: "The big shopkeeper got up and replied." ”

The shopkeeper Li is the husband of the nurse Qian Mama, and he is also his own dowry, because he is capable, he is now responsible for managing his dowry shop and other industries, and he is one of his henchmen, because of many things, Shen Lian has to rely on him to maneuver outside, so he has always been very polite to him.

The shopkeeper Li sat down on the stool of his hand, saw that the idlers had already retreated outside, and hurriedly whispered: "Mrs. Lian, the big ghost brother came to me last night, and he almost strangled me!" ”

Shen Lian was stunned for a moment and motioned for him to continue.

"He said that his twelve brothers were killed on the farm, and that one, the one surnamed Gu, was rescued."

Shen Lian stood up suddenly, and her eyes sharpened: "What do you mean, the thirteen ghosts not only didn't kill Gu Xinyu, but were also killed?" ”

"It should be, he asked me last night why I didn't tell him that there is a secret guard, Mrs. Lian, the conscience of heaven and earth, this, the little one really doesn't know!"

Shen Lian was stunned when she heard the secret guard, and then thought that it must have been put by her cousin, because the six guards were sent by Grandpa Guo, and everyone knows this. Shen Lian was jealous, gritting her silver teeth, good you Zhou Muhan, you secretly sent a secret guard to Gu Xinyu, Gu Xinyu, you are a slut, this time it is your fate

The shopkeeper Li continued: "Mrs. Lian, I heard that Grandpa Guo sent another team of guards, as for whether the general sent the secret guard, this is not clear, and although the thirteen ghosts failed in the mission, but so many brothers died, I am afraid that he will not give up, and Grandpa Guo is looking for him, in case he is forced to rush and leak us out, I am only afraid of Grandpa Guo, so we can't annoy him for the time being, the small meaning is, give him the remaining five thousand taels, appease him well, and then encourage him to take revenge."

Shen Lian nodded, the big shopkeeper Li thought very thoughtfully, comforted the big shopkeeper, and warned him that he must properly handle the hiding place of the big ghost, and wait for this matter to settle down before settling the matter!

The shopkeeper Li bowed down and withdrew from the hall, Shen Lian thought quietly for a while, she wanted to reprimand Chunyu, but she pressed it again, she couldn't be too anxious, if Zhou Muhan found out that he was calculating his secret guard, it was estimated that he would have to shed his skin if he didn't die.

Shen Lian got up, it seems that she should go to her aunt to sit for a while, the little slut who is hiding in the village and living a quiet life, the good days should come to an end!

In the military supervision office of the Rongcheng military camp, there were two people sitting in the huge living room, Grandpa Guo leaned on the tiger skin chair, looking at the confession of the black-clothed man in his hand, Zhou Muhan drank tea quietly.

Grandpa Guo raised his head for a while: "Mu Han, my grandfather has been thinking about it these days, who wants to kill the eldest granddaughter-in-law, it stands to reason that she is a little woman, who can she offend?" 10,000 taels of silver to hire thirteen ghosts, which can be regarded as a big deal."

Zhou Muhan chuckled: "Grandfather, there are no thirteen ghosts in the world from now on!" ”

The old man was stunned for a moment, then realized, twisted his beard and laughed.

Zhou Muhan then said slowly: "It's a pity that the only big ghost who knows the murderer is missing, and the only way now is to find him, otherwise, even if there are suspects, I am afraid that this case will end up dead without proof."

Grandpa Guo nodded in agreement, and then saw a person wandering outside the door, and looked at Zhou Muhan: "Do you need me to avoid it?" ”

Zhou Muhan shook his head, "No, it's the secret guard who came back to report on Zhuangzi's situation, Wang Yi, come in!" ”

Wang Yi rushed in in response, first to greet the old man, and then bowed to Zhou Muhan: "Report to the young general, the little one just came back from Zhuangzi, and I heard the injured secret guard Lin Wei say that after he fell into a coma, he felt that someone had fed him something in a daze, and he didn't know what it was, anyway, if he ate it, his whole body would immediately be warm, and he had recovered very quickly in the past two days, and the young lady had a dagger in his hand at that time, although it was small, but when he waved it, there was a sword qi flowing."

Zhou Muhan waved his hand to let Wang Yi withdraw, frowning and thinking, how can a dagger have sword energy? And where did Gu Xinyu get such an artifact? Then I thought of the little snow wolf beside her. I only felt that everything in front of me was fog, and I couldn't see Gu Xinyu more and more clearly

Seeing Zhou Muhan frowning and thinking about it opposite, Grandpa Guo couldn't help but get angry, and slammed the table: "The eldest husband should act against the sky, if you let me know your idea of beating your daughter-in-law, don't blame me for turning my face and not recognizing people!" ”

Zhou Muhan was stunned for a moment, and then said to his grandfather with a little shame: "The eldest husband does things fairly, no matter how bad I am Zhou Muhan, I will not be such a villain, grandfather, I grew up in front of you since I was a child, in your heart, I am so unbearable?" ”

Grandpa Guo's face turned red, touched the back of his head, and said embarrassedly: "Eldest grandson, didn't grandpa remind you?" ”

Zhou Muhan stood up, snorted, and bowed: "There are still important things in the army, so my grandson will not accompany me."

Then he strode away.

Grandpa Guo shouted behind him: "You stinky boy, you are against the sky, your wings are hard, aren't you?" ”
