Chapter 202: True and False
"Stop!"
A broken cry came, and in an instant, the feather arrow swept past Gong Yuchun's ear, rubbing out stinging blood marks, but it hit Chang Meng Chu's right hand holding the knife, and suddenly blood splattered through his wrist, and the handle of the knife couldn't stand the force, and it fell.
It happened suddenly, this Zhuangzi was in a remote area in the suburbs, and the stewards and tenants in the Zhuangzi were all separated by Xiao Gu, and no one expected that someone would suddenly break in, and they were caught off guard, and even Chang Mengchu and other martial arts were at a loss.
With this feather arrow, there was the sound of horses' hooves on the track and field not far from the door, Chang Mengchu and Gong Yuchun glanced at each other, quickly pulled up the scarf around their necks, and pretended to be masked.
It's dangerous......
Xiao Gu took a deep breath to calm his emotions, turned his head to look at the gate of the courtyard, but saw a person wearing a dark blue embroidered silver arrow sleeve robe jumping off the horse, and then drew a bow and arrow to face the two people in front of him!
It turned out to be the cold-faced Xiao Yue!
"In the blue sky and white day, you dare to enter the house and loot property!"
He scolded coldly, but it surprised all four of them.
Looting property?
Xiao Gu keenly grasped this word, and was the first to react, raising his head, already showing a crying expression, "Young Master Xiao, please save the two slaves and maids!" ”
Her acting skills are not bad, and at this time, her legs have stumbled and fallen to the ground, but she pointed to the iron box held by Gong Yuchun in her arms with trembling hands, and said with a crying voice: "This is the dowry left by our pioneer lady to Miss Ruyao, and it must not be snatched away by these gangsters!" ”
Chang Mengchu and Gong Yuchun were stunned, but Xiao Yue's sharp eyes swept towards them - the men and women in front of them were masked and holding knives, and they were obviously not good. Thinking of everything he had heard in the Hou Mansion Garden before, Ru Yao's entrustment, he immediately classified these two people as the Wang family, who coveted Mrs. Zhang's property.
His eyes were cold, but he was very dissatisfied with his aunt's actions: such a noble lady of a family, why should she be obsessed with money and stretch out her hand so long to snatch the dowry of the deceased sister-in-law in the next room? !
My aunt is an elder. The ugliness of the family can't be publicized, and he can't really arrest people to the yamen, but the two people in front of him happened to be caught by him!
Xiao Yue tightened the bowstring again, and was about to shoot the man led by him on the spot - such evil bandits, if they stayed, they would also cause trouble around their aunt!
Chang Mengchu instantly felt the solemn killing intent in the air, the muscles on his face twitched slightly, his toes kicked, and the long knife fell back into his palm, and under the slight force, the bones of his wrists gurgled. Under the bloody muscles, even the slightly white fascia was exposed, and it was obvious that the arrow wound was not light.
His strong momentum like a trapped beast made Xiao Yue's heart startled, and he looked at him solemnly, and was a little surprised by his judgment: this person's momentum and standing posture show that he is not only a master, but also has a fierce and murderous aura, and his aunt is just a deep woman, where did he find this kind of person?
It's on the verge of breaking out. Xiao Gu's face turned pale suddenly, and he screamed and fell to the ground holding his abdomen. Xiao Yue was distracted for a moment to look, and Chang Mengchu saw him revealing the empty door, holding a long knife. Carrying the iron box on his back, he rushed forward.
"Be careful!"
Xiao Gu suddenly pulled Xiao Yue, and the sword light brushed by his side, rushing away like a lightning dragon snake. Immediately, there was a smell of incense powder, but it made Xiao Yue intuitively close his breath.
When I opened my eyes again, the two of them. Gone were the iron box.
Xiao Yue gritted his teeth to chase, but his eyes stayed on Xiao Gu on the ground - this girl dressed as a maid was twitching slightly with pain on her face, he couldn't bear it for a while, after all, he bent down and picked her up gently.
"Are you hurt?"
Xiao Gu wept in a low voice, pointed to his abdomen and said slightly shyly: "I was kicked, it hurts......
Xiao Yue saw that her expression didn't seem to be fake, and there was a difference between men and women and she couldn't uncover her clothes to take a closer look, so she had to carry her into the house and put her on the bed carefully, "I'll go find a doctor." ”
Then he went out of the courtyard gate, and saw from a distance his two relatives coming with a panting horse, so he asked one of them to go to the country man, and asked the other, "Have you seen a man and a woman with suspicious signs on the road?" ”
When he said what he looked like, the subordinate shook his head, but said respectfully: "There is a carriage on the road a mile away, and there are several men and women dressed in rich clothes, who look like housekeepers and servants who have the face of some family. ”
said that Cao Cao Cao arrived, at this time, there was the sound of the wheel axle of the carriage on the road not far away, as well as the shouting of men and women with their toes arrogant, "What about the people inside, they haven't come out to see Steward Wu yet!" ”
"The little hooves are really on the shelf, do you think you are the daughter of a deep boudoir compound?"
Such a chaotic shouting suddenly made Xiao Yue's face sink, and his subordinates immediately went forward, and brought the leader over after a short time.
The man was indeed dressed as a butler, wearing a silk robe and black-bottomed cloth shoes, and his face was not only shrewd but also obscene, but at this time he was trembling with fear, "The king spares his life, the little one doesn't have any money on him, please smile at this bit of silver." ”
This is when he is robbing the Dao, Xiao Yue asked angrily, and suddenly his expression turned grim - these people are the ones sent by the second lady Wang to collect Mrs. Zhang's dowry!
The housekeeper was originally shaken up, but when he heard Xiao Yue's identity, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile on his face: "This is all on the orders of my wife, Young Master Xiao, you and her are aunts and cousins, and you can't be the most affectionate......"
Xiao Yue was too lazy to talk to him, so he ordered his entourage to tie up the people, and the original car was sent back to the Hou Mansion, "Let's just say that I inspected the manor and accidentally found that the Hou Mansion had stolen the master's property, and I specially twisted it and sent it back to the house." ”
The man was so frightened that he flew out of the sky, begging for mercy: "Young Master Xiao, I am the second lady's person, I have to look at the face of the Buddha if I don't look at the monk's face!" “
"Hurry up and send it back, just say that I helped my aunt share her worries."
Xiao Yue's fluttering words ruined all their proud hopes, and what was originally a simple and easy trip to fortune turned into an unlucky self-throwing net.
There was a cry outside the courtyard gate, Xiao Yue didn't care, just frowned and pondered: "Since these people were sent by my aunt, then where are the two people before?" ”
****
In the room, Xiao Gu was using paint, carefully drawing "bruises, red and swollen" scars on his abdomen, Lan Ning was lying on the windowsill, pushing open a crack and listening to the movement outside, when the ghost crying wolf howl came in, she almost smiled and bent over.
"You really deserve it!"
Her smile was immediately put away and replaced with a sad face, "It's a pity that the iron box was lost, and such an important thing inside also fell into the hands of the head brother, so we were busy in vain." ”
Xiao Gu dressed neatly and smiled mysteriously, "This may not be ......"
Facing Lan Ning's puzzled gaze, she whispered, "When everyone sleeps at night, let's go to the well and fish out the real box." ”
"What?"
Lan Ning was stunned, "Hasn't it been fished out?" (To be continued......)
