Chapter 59: Blood II
Chapter 59: Blood (II)
The sky was about to fall, and the door panel of the long pavilion wing room was knocked three times.
Changting sat in the inner compartment and looked up through the gap, there were three or five black shadows, Hu Yuniang opened the door in response, but saw the man named Meng Daren in the morning leading the way and standing sideways in the porch, deliberately avoiding the light and gaps in the wing, and his tone did not fluctuate, "Please Miss Lu go downstairs with you." β
Changting gently held the dagger in his sleeve, took a deep breath, and walked around the screen to welcome the light.
Monto's leaning robe stood halfway on the low doorway, and the faint light seemed to be teetering with a worn papier-mΓ’chΓ© lantern hanging from the door.
At this point, Changting saw Meng Tuo's face very clearly.
High nose and deep eyes, thin lips are tightly pursed, sharp edges and corners, because of standing sideways, Meng Tuo can only lower his eyes, looking at the uneven floor, his eyes are slightly narrowed, if there is no military general after a hundred battles, this is clearly just a clear and silent teenager.
Changting raised his face, and after a moment of silence, he looked away, bowed his head slightly, and did not answer, raised his feet and walked out to the porch.
After Meng Tuo waited for the long pavilion to take three steps, his hand stopped back, and he groaned, "No need to follow." The three sects and nine streams here are complicated, you stay here, if Miss Hu and Miss Xiao Lu want to go out, follow behind. If there is any trespassing, if there is no dereliction of duty, it will be dealt with by military law. β
The words were about to fall, and the robe was lifted up, and he walked to follow.
The inn was dilapidated, people stepped on the rotten stairs, and the wooden planks creaked.
The long pavilion walked very slowly, and after Meng Tuo approached, a large black shadow was followed by a large black shadow on the top of the long pavilion, and the long pavilion did not turn back, and walked faster under his feet.
Changting didn't ask where Yue Laosan went.
Meng Tuo didn't ask why Hu Yuniang and Lu Changning didn't follow.
Coming down from the third floor, through the porch and through the long road, the two of them were silent all the way.
There is no one in the inn, the main hall is very small, only three or two dilapidated wooden tables are horizontal in the hall, and the shopkeeper and the shopkeeper have disappeared, not to mention the diners and passers-by who live together.
As soon as Changting came down the stairs, he heard the person behind him whisper slowly, "Go to the left, cross the haystack, and there is a small firewood hut with a basement under the plank. The boss is my manpower, and Miss Lu has no scruples about doing things. β
Changting turned around and smiled at the corner of his lips, "Even if there are people, they won't scruple about it." β
Meng Tuo's face did not move.
The post house is not too big, as Meng Tuo said, except for them in the post house, there is no one else, and there is no other sound, only the wind through the hall "whirring", the front is black, the long pavilion from the shopkeeper carried a lantern that is not big or small to light the way, Meng Tuo stretched out his hand to take it and walked to the front.
Within three steps, it was dim, passing through the haystack, entering the firewood house, Meng Tuoyi stretched out his hand and lifted the wooden plank under his feet, and thought about it and whispered to the long pavilion, "When you go in, it's best to close your eyes." Yue Lao Sanju's heart was ruthless, he didn't want to call the girl's family to come and see, but I selfishly thought that Miss Lu wanted to take a look. β
As soon as the wooden planks were opened, the dim light from the underground chamber could be faintly seen.
Changting glanced at Meng Tuo, lifted the lotus-colored skirt, bowed his head and said softly, "Thank you, Lord Meng." He leaned over and grabbed the handle and walked down slowly.
It was Xie who asked her to come, and it was also Xie who reminded her first.
Meng Tuo stretched the lantern forward, and the light fell just at the foot of the pavilion.
Changting never thought that there was a lot of things under the ground, the secret room was buried very deep, and every five meters on the stone wall was artificially carved out of a small groove to put the torch lamp oil, because it was not ventilated, it was very stuffy inside, like a fog blocked in the chest, the more you went inside, the clearer it was in front of you.
Both men had light steps.
Changting held the dagger in his sleeve in his hand, and gradually heard the extremely heavy wheezing sound of a man, and the sound of sharp weapons scraping against the wall and causing goosebumps all over his body, Changting smelled blood, extremely thick, as thick as flesh and blood stuck in the air.
It's coming.
Changting thought secretly.
Sure enough, I turned another corner, and suddenly there was a big platform on which a naked man with an unknown life and death was erected, and a fire was burning next to the person, and the flames rushed upward, and the man's feet involuntarily retracted into it.
Yue Laosan's eyes were sharp, and he waved his hand to greet him, "Why did Miss Lu come down?" This place is very filthy, and it is not for the girl's family to see. β
Meng Tuo handed the lantern to the subordinates who came up, and said concisely, "She can watch it, the third uncle doesn't care." β
Yue Laosan scolded his mother in his heart, this little rabbit cub speaks to kill people!
Changting bowed his head to Yue Laosan and thanked him very solemnly, "Thank you for the kindness of the third master and Yue Xiaoye for saving her sister's life." β
Yue Laosan stumbled backwards, smiled on his face, his beard turned upward, threw the steaming iron that was still steaming into the brazier, and slapped it on the man's face.
Yue Laosan backhanded another one, "Little rabbit cub be honest!" Your grandfather, my work isn't over yet. There is one to say one, and there is two to say two. When you land a girl, spray feces in your mouth again, Lao Tzu will waste you! β
Yue Fan's ruffian aura probably came from this place.
As soon as Yue Laosan raised his hand, the dozen or so people who were busy coming and going immediately returned to the team, Yue Laosan hugged his fist towards the Changting, and then turned around with his hands.
Are you afraid that the trial in the future will involve the private ancestral hall?
After all, the secret is not so good.
Changting swept invisibly towards Meng Tuo, who was standing straight beside him, if he didn't leave, it meant that all the secrets of the Shi family should be known.
The man on the wooden shelf only reacted now, Zhang Yi raised his head, looked out from the messy hair, but instantly lowered, leaned his head on the wooden shelf with a bloody face, and spat blood viciously on the ground, like the battle of a trapped beast and the struggle of a dying man to return to the light.
"The little prostitute of the Lu family is here? Does it feel good to mix in the pile of men? β
Dai Heng laughed strangely twice, "When Qi Guogong saw you like this, he was afraid that he was so angry that he wanted to get up from the soil." β
Changting's hand was tucked into his sleeve and slowly curled into a fist.
Almost instantly, as soon as Dai Heng's voice fell, Meng Tuo rushed to the platform with an arrow step, grabbed Dai Heng's hair with his backhand, and pulled Dai Heng's head back hard, his tone was indifferent, but his expression was ruthless, "Keep your mouth clean." You just want to die, and it's easy to die! But there is a way in the world that is 10,000 times more painful than death, and believe me, you won't want to try it. β
Dai Heng tilted his head, grinning his teeth and looking at Meng Tuo through the gap in his eyes, his throat moving.
That's the guy.
Let them annihilate their entire army, and make him a prisoner who has been tortured and cannot die!
Yes, he admits that he is greedy for life and afraid of death, but damn it, he knows that if his tone is not strict, if he shows his words, there will only be death waiting for him! Say, you will die, if you don't say, you will die if you are tortured. Left and right are dead, why should he let this group of people get their wish! Why do you have to say it!
He doesn't have a good life, and no one else can think about it!
Let's go back to Pingcheng with these two little prostitutes of the Lu family, go back, there are good things waiting for them.
Dai Heng squinted, his tongue swept around the roof of his mouth, and his mouth was full of blood.
"Want to know who it is?"
Dai Heng's tone was hoarse but frivolous, and he laughed strangely, and swept his feet into the air with difficulty, trying to touch the ground, "Let me live, and I will sue you." Prepare the horses and dry rations, let me go first, and I will tell you! β
The corners of Meng Tuo's mouth lifted upward, the strength in his hand increased, Dai Heng was in pain, and leaned back, but a giggling laugh was squeezed out of his throat.
Changting's clenched fist slowly loosened, but he chuckled softly, her father, the leader of the Heisei Lu family, the three princes and three orphans of the Great Jin, actually died at the hands of a scoundrel, fucking died at the hands of a scoundrel!
The Shi family is a promise.
The vows made are like a covenant with dignity and faith.
Is dignity and promise important, or is it the culprit that matters first?
Changting raised his head, looked at him squarely, and said word by word, "You want to live, how do you want to live?" The matter has been revealed, the grudge between the Lu family and Youzhou has been formed, and the murder of Qi Guogong in Youzhou has been publicized, Zhou Tongling is too busy to take care of himself, you can only be a pawn he gave up, and you will even become the one who bears the blame. Youzhou naturally can't go back, but what should you do if you can't go back? The elders and elders in the family, the children and young children who are babbling under their knees, I am afraid that they will all be wiped out. β
Changting's voice was empty, with endless hatred, "Just like my father"
Dai Heng's pupils dilated suddenly, and then shrank, if he died in battle, his relatives would naturally be given preferential treatment. But the corpses in the forest did not have him!
What will Zhou Tongling think!?
What kind of treatment will be suffered by his wife and children, his family?
I'm afraid it's been subdued!
Changting laughed again and approached the brazier, "You and I both understand that Zhou Tongling is not the mastermind, and it will not benefit him at all to intercept and kill the Lu family's room, there must be someone behind him." I'll just ask you, do you know who that man is? β
Dai Heng was agitated, hysterical, "If you let me live, I'll say!" β
Go back to the far point.
In other words, there is indeed someone behind Zhou Tongling, and Dai Heng knows it.
It is impossible for Changting to promise to give him a way to live, and she will do what she says, and she has no way to break this bottom line. But she has no way to watch Dai Heng live, since both sides are not passable, why do you have to take these two roads?
Meng Tuo's eyes swept towards the long pavilion and shook his head slightly.
There is no need to let this scoundrel live because of the only remaining value of this article, there are many ways to investigate, as soon as the news of Lu Xuan's death spreads, we can know a thing or two by seeing how all parties react. No matter how bad it is, Zhou Tongling has been exposed, and the information that the general can get must know more than this pawn.
Let him go, it's disgusting to himself.
Meng Tuo would rather kill him so that he could breathe a sigh of relief.
Changting walked closer, slowed down and said softly, "You are Zhou Tongling's confidant, this kind of major event will never be handed over to others, so there is a great possibility, from participating in the interception to passing the news to the follow-up pursuit, you are involved, I said two out of three, it is not difficult to infer that you were immediately sent out to deliver the news after the interception was successful that day." And your armor is still covered with a layer of frost, it has taken me more than ten days to come from Jueshan, and you only found my traces two days ago, and the time difference in it confirms my suspicion. Is there a place that can only be reached after nearly ten days of round-trip? To the east is Wanzhou, to the west is Yongzhou, and to the south is Jizhou"
"Say so much and do what! You can't fucking let it go! β
Changting got closer and closer, the smell of blood rushed to his nose, he pursed his lips and smiled, his expression was very steady, but his hands trembled and shrunk into his sleeves.
Dai Heng was still howling.
Changting turned his head over, leaned in, opened the dagger scabbard in his sleeve, gritted his teeth and whispered to Dai Heng, "I said so much to sue you that you don't have you, and without the news that your dirty attempt to change your life, I can still find out who is behind the scenes!" β
The word "person" was about to come out, and the dagger hidden in Changting's sleeve slammed into Dai Heng's abdomen!
Dai Heng made a muffled sound, choked on blood from his mouth and nose, and stared at his round eyes.
Changting's legs were weak, clenching her teeth tightly, her strength was small, the blade of the dagger was blunt, and the tip of the knife was only halfway in, Changting held the dagger tightly with both hands, and pushed it in little by little, but it was in vain, Changting gasped a few times, his hands were trembling, and he was trembling even with the dagger.
"Poofβ"
The dagger stabilized, and the blood in Dai Heng's throat spurted out!
It was Meng Tuo who reached out and grabbed the free hilt of the knife, and pushed it in, and Dai Heng had no life at all.
"In the future, men will do this kind of murderous thing."
Meng Tuo's expression was as usual, quietly looking at the girl with light eyebrows and trembling under the firelight, he sighed secretly, and said in a calm voice, "Don't let the blood of this kind of person stain your hands." βRS
