Chapter 86: Rock Sugar Meat (4)
"What can I do!" Lin Yuxiao did grit his teeth when he heard it, although Xiao Tang made him a lot of delicious food after coming back, but what he ate less was less after all.
"I was walking down the street, and suddenly a fog rose out of thin air two feet in front of me, and a hoarse voice spoke to me in the fog, and he said that he wanted to know the truth about the strange case in Mengzhou and followed him, and then turned around and ran out of the city, and I chased after him." Lin Yuxiao recalled.
"He said you'd chase you?" Du Shaonan didn't know that Lin Yuxiao was so impulsive and simple.
"One, the man in the fog appeared very suddenly and strangely, I didn't notice it at all, and he was shrouded in fog within three feet of him, and the street next to him was not foggy at all, don't you think it's funny? Two, I originally wanted to catch him and ask him carefully, but I couldn't catch up with him. Lin Yuxiao said.
He said calmly, but Du Shaonan was surprised by Yue Linfeng: "You won't be able to catch up with him!?" "Lin Yuxiao's light skills have always been unmatched, there will be people he can't catch up!?
"I tried my best to just make sure I wouldn't lose it, and I suspect that the other party slowed down in order to keep me from losing it." Lin Yuxiao said it was a little scary, Mengzhou City, no, when did such a master appear in this world!?
Lu Tingqi's eyes flashed with a hint of pride, but when he looked at Lin Yuxiao's jade unicorn that did not leave his hand, his heart sank, Lin Yuxiao had already admitted that his skills were not as good as others, how did he come back alive unscathed? And how did you get the jade unicorn?
"I chased out of the city, and ran on the outskirts of the city for about half an hour, and I felt that the man in the fog had no intention of stopping. It's taking me around in circles, and the outside of the city is gradually shrouded in fog, how can Mengzhou City be so foggy on a February day? I don't think it's right and I don't want to chase it anymore. Turning around and walking towards the city, the man in the fog did not make a sound and did not come forward to stop me, I walked for a while and saw the lights of the tower, and after walking a little further I saw the city gate, and then I suddenly smelled something wrong, and at the same time the ground under my feet was loosened......"
Lin Yuxiao actually stopped at the key place and took the tea cup to moisten his throat. Du Shaonan annoyed him the most, but he had no choice but to guess by himself: "Something is wrong?" Toxic smoke? Have a pit under your feet? ”
"Shaonan, it's not me talking about you. If you use your brain before you speak, who will put a cigarette in front of the city gates? As soon as the wind blows, it will disperse early, who can it smoke? Not to mention digging a pit, how big a pit it must be. In order to ensure that the rain flute just stepped into the pit? "Don didn't want to interject. But Du Shaonan was so stupid that he couldn't help it.
Du Shaonan's face turned red, and he subconsciously went to see Liu Yiyi first, Lin Yuxiao, Xiao Tang, and Yue Linfeng all grew up with him since childhood, and they were embarrassed and cheeky in front of them, but isn't there still a "fellow villager" present today...... This "fellow countryman" didn't blink, and stared at Lin Yuxiao very admiringly, paying infinite attention to his mistakes.
Du Shaonan was depressed in his heart, and couldn't help but argue again: "It's not that poisonous smoke is used on the battlefield." As long as you grasp the direction well, this area is large and lethal. One smoke can pour a large piece, why can't it be used? ”
His words still didn't change Liu Yiyi's gaze, but Lu Tingqi's murderous gaze looked over.
"So you are stupid, how can there be any two armies fighting now, and when they set off smoke at the gate of the city, they will not alarm the soldiers defending the city? According to your calculations, the Mengzhou Strange Case is not an individual or an accomplice, it is time to organize a gang in order to subdue the defenders to set fire to a large area and burn poisonous smoke in a large area. ”
Xiao Tang glared back at Lu Tingqi as he spoke, he was beautiful, and his eyes looked very charming when he looked at people, Lu Tingqi didn't dare to look closely, he only felt the dazzling pain of being burned by the fire, and subconsciously turned his head.
Lin Yuxiao finally gave a kind answer at this time: "It's not poisonous smoke, what I smell is a very faint fragrance of flowers, it's a spring flower, it's just that there are no spring flowers at the gate of Mengzhou City in February, but I remember entering the mountain before and seeing it on the edge of the cliff, sure enough, what I am doing is not a pit but a cliff valley." ”
"So you fell off a cliff!?" Du Shaonan was surprised and a little funny, although he also knew that it was immoral for his friend to be in the mood to laugh when he encountered this kind of thing, but what a law of the protagonist who fell off the cliff and did not die! He finally couldn't help but didn't ask if there was a treasure or martial arts secret under the cliff?
"You thought it was a city gate, but it turned out to be a cliff?" Yue Linfeng, who had never spoken, also spoke up, he couldn't laugh at all, Lin Yuxiao's disappearance was really in danger, and what did he do in the past few days!? Something happened, he didn't even know who the enemy was!
"Fortunately, I smelled the fragrance of spring flowers and felt wrong, and fortunately, my light skills were passable, the cliff was a cliff, and I was lucky not to be injured, but I was panicked after eating this secret loss, so I went around in the mountains for two days, and in the end I found what hurt me, and I found a lot of good things."
Lin Yuxiao said and took out another jade unicorn, which finally proved that he had obtained a pair, and then he took out a snow-white and fluffy thing and threw it to Lu Tingqi.
Lin Yuxiao just threw it forward, and people who didn't know martial arts could see that he didn't have internal strength and wasn't throwing a hidden weapon, but Lu Tingqi was in a hurry, and finally held it and took a closer look, and there was no blood on his face.
Du Shaonan couldn't see clearly what Lin Yuxiao threw to Lu Tingqi out of perspective, it seemed to be a piece of fur, but the fur could scare the murderous Jiangnan Minghu like this?
Liu Yiyi saw it clearly, it was a piece of fur, a circular circle, a bit like the wrist guards worn by fashionable and athletic young people, but how this thing made Lu Tingqi panic, she didn't know either.
As soon as Lu Tingqi's things were confirmed, he knew that it was true: "Lord Lin, what about him?" ”
"What? Afraid I'll eat him? Lin Yuxiao asked rhetorically.
This is a bit strange, but Lu Tingqi is even more panicked: "Lord Lin, Lu Tingqi admits that what you said is not wrong at all, I am the murderer of the strange case in Mengzhou, everything is as you speculated, I used the conditions of being an errand in the yamen to find out the family background of all the rich families in Mengzhou City, and I also took the opportunity to protect them, and took their lives with poisonous needles painted with rainbow flowers on them, and I even bribed a gangster from other places and coaxed him to go to the willow house to fish in troubled waters, in fact, I had planned to let him be my stand-in for the real murderer." ”
Lu Tingqi recognized it all at once, but Lin Yuxiao did not show the joy of victory. Instead, he frowned as if he was embarrassed: "Mr. Lu, you recognize it so quickly, how can Lin have the illusion of pinching your death hole to wronged you?" ”
Isn't it just that he was pinched to death! Lu Tingqi had no choice but to continue to show weakness: "That Lord Yilin's." How can Lu Tingqi be willing to admit his guilt? And it proves that it is not Lord Lin who is wronging people. ”
"It's not easy to do, there is a way to catch thieves and catch stolen goods, where is the property that Mr. Lu got from the victim hidden, and it is for your own good to confess and hand it over, at least you can keep a whole corpse." Lin Yuxiao said and took all the pairs of jade unicorns back into his sleeve pockets, ready to find the thieves, he was sure that Lu Tingqi would not care about those things outside his body.
Lu Tingqi really didn't feel sorry for the property obtained from the killing. didn't even care about himself: "Lord Lin, Lu Tingqi will hand over a lot of money to you, but can you let me meet him before that?" He pleaded, whispering.
Lin Yuxiao didn't buy it: "I can't let you see him." At least until you hand over the stolen goods, but don't worry, I raised him for nothing, and meat is indispensable for a meal. Don't believe it, you asked Don Jr. ”
Lu Tingqi listened. The surprised eyes really looked at Xiao Tang, this Tang boss was also underestimated by him, and then thought of Xiao Tang's profession as a cook, his heart was even more worried, and his eyes were pleading.
Xiao Tang understood, so he hummed: "The meat is so old, how can it be stewed......"
"Actually, I'm also curious, aren't you afraid of him? Would you rather sacrifice your wealth and life for him? Lin Yuxiao's question drew Lu Tingqi's attention back.
"Why be afraid? Lu Tingqi's parents were unfortunately killed. I was left alone to wander and wander, suffering so much for many sins. I can see clearly, the brightly dressed rich people, the more dignitaries and nobles are darker, they take good meat to feed the dogs, but refuse to give a piece of cold steamed buns to the beggars, we are very hungry to find food from the swill tank, we are chased by the vicious dogs when we are found, and we are bitten all over the body when we run slowly, and then the hospital sees the injured beggars and rushes out, how many little brothers die like this! Lu Tingqi recalled the past, and his hatred was only heavier.
"Lord Lin, I heard that you were abandoned as soon as you were born, and you were picked up by Uncle Lin Guo, I don't know if this is true or not, but Lord Yue has really been a beggar, right? Lord Yue had a good life and was adopted by the nobles early, so he forgot about the suffering of hunger and cold, no way to ask for help, and people falling into the well! ”
Lu Tingqi looked at Yue Linfeng, with disdain and jealousy, there are so many beggars, why can he reach the sky in one step!?
"Lin Feng has not forgotten that it is precisely because he was pulled by others in the most difficult time that he is determined to learn martial arts and learn the law, and use the right way to help those who are still living in suffering." Yue Linfeng is not good at arguing for himself, so it is Lin Yuxiao who speaks.
"Law! Help!? Lu Tingqi laughed, laughing like crying, "Lord Lin is really a lotus, if you really remember what you did in Mengzhou, I killed those rich people who were rich and unkind, you don't want to find out how many people are oppressed by them, what are you doing to arrest me for the people?" ”
"Are they all rich or not?" Du Shaonan interjected again.
Probably to prove that his actions were just, Lu Tingqi ignored the young master: "I don't believe you ask Miss Liu, which of these people has not been taught by her?" ”
Suddenly lying down, Liu Yiyi was also a little restless, she didn't know who those people's names were, let alone what they had done.
Lu Tingqi hasn't found out that the "Goddess of Justice" in his heart has changed the core? Du Shaonan felt that this person also deserved sympathy, "What about me?" Why did you find me? Am I being rich? He had a clear conscience, so he waited for Lu Tingqi to confide in Liu Yiyi.
"Young Master Du is really embarrassed and brazen, you rescued those poor women on the surface, but in fact, you saw that even their father and brother sold them, they were helpless at all, so even if you were a good person on the front foot and let them go, and then you arrested them back and raised them in another courtyard, they could only accept their fate!" What Lu Tingqi said was not what Du Shaonan planned to listen to at all.
This time, Liu Yiyi finally looked at Du Shaonan with a surprised expression.
“…… That's not what I did......" Du Shaonan smiled bitterly, if Lu Tingqi really thought that he deserved to die because of this, he would be too wronged.
"It's not Shao Nan who did it, I also heard Xiao Zhu say this, Shao Nan drove away all the young and beautiful maids in his yard when he was seven years old, and he hasn't added anyone in the house so far, the Guogong Mansion is in a single line, his grandmother and mother are very worried that his generation still can't have a hundred sons and thousands of grandchildren, it is not rare to see that Shao Nan has pity for girls, and his grandmother thinks badly for a while." Lin Yuxiao helped Du Shaonan explain.
"How many people even have a full stomach is a luxury!" The rich man still thinks about a hundred sons and thousands of grandchildren, and Lu Tingqi thinks that he is not wrong.
"It's because even having a full stomach is a luxury, and all of a sudden, everyone is waiting for them every day, and how many people still remember their self-esteem? Some of those girls change and want to be rich, and some are still chastity looking for a chance to be rescued, in fact, I think that people who are truly determined will not be corrupted by the environment, and the more the world bears you, the more you should live your own backbone. ”
Lin Yuxiao thought of what Fang Xiaozhu had said that those girls who were hidden by Mrs. Li and trained by Mrs. Li had some heavy makeup to wipe off the night attack on Du Shaonan, and some took the opportunity to send things to ask for help during the day, which shows that the same adversity people behave differently, and those who don't fall are not falling.
Lu Tingqi had something in his heart, and it sounded like he was scolding Huai, so he snorted coldly: "Of course, Lord Lin is easy to sit and talk, because you have not experienced the days when you have no way to ask for help and are cornered, if there is, you will understand that the most terrible thing in this world is people, if fierce beasts kill each other only for food, people can kill people for no reason." ”
"No, birds and beasts will fight each other for courtship, and even kill each other." Xiao Tang corrected Lu Tingqi's words.
"Okay, no matter who is more unconscionable than people and beasts, it's past the ugly time, Mr. Lu's murder letter to catch your head this time has failed again, let's go, let's go and see how much money you got from killing, how many innocents you saved with this money, is it better than the government." Lin Yuxiao said and got up.
Lu Tingqi was choked by him, but he still didn't think he was wrong: "I was going to leave with these belongings, and then change my face to do good when you don't pay attention, who knows that it is still a bad move, but Lord Lin, if you return these gold and silver to them, it is equivalent to creating a bunch of villains and gangsters who are rich and unkind, and the poor people will suffer from them again." ”
"Mr. Lu, why didn't you leave before the Qin mission came? As soon as you leave, the clues will be broken, and it will not be easy for Yu Xiao to check your flaws, even if he still suspects you, where will he go to find you when the emperor is far away? Du Shaonan just wanted to hear Lu Tingqi say that he stayed for Liu Yiyi's adventure.
Lu Tingqi still didn't follow his heart, in fact, everyone ignored him: "Lord Lin, let's go." (To be continued.) )
