Chapter 414 - Door-to-door questioning

The old Taoist priest and the noble lady were in the same room in the middle of the night, which was naturally a very strange thing.

However, Qin Xiao had already understood at this time that this noble lady was the wife of Shaoqing of Taifu Temple, and after marrying into the Huang family, she had not been pregnant for many years, but the concubine of the Huang family's Xinna was pregnant.

Qin Xiao knew in his heart that for the wife of an official eunuch, not giving birth to an heir was really an extremely terrifying thing.

Even ordinary people follow the golden rule of unfilial piety, not to mention the homes of wealthy officials.

Without an heir, the status will only decline rapidly, and even be disgusted by the husband's family.

This is of course unfair to women, but from top to bottom, there is no heir inheritance, and the blame will only be placed on the woman's head.

But the desire for a son obviously overcame the apprehension in the heart.

At this time, the old Taoist priest was playing tricks, but Mrs. Huang was very anxious, and said: "Real people, as long as you can add Ding to the old man, everything is subject to the advice of real people." ”

Hongling Zhenren smiled, stood up, walked slowly behind Mrs. Huang, and asked softly, "Madame, do you know that why the poor way is a saint's alchemy, why is it deeply trusted by the saint?" It's not a secret, Poor Dao asked since he was a child, he has been practicing hard for decades, but he is also quite proficient in immortal arts, and now he is a half-immortal body. ”

Mrs. Huang was obviously terrified of her situation, and she had obviously sought medical advice before, but she never conceived a child, and finally pinned her hopes on this Hongling Zhenren.

Hongling Zhenren was obviously not right-hearted, so Mrs. Huang came to the Taoist temple in the middle of the night to find him.

Mrs. Huang must have hesitated about this, after all, an official eunuch's family, a woman from a Taoist family, ran to the Taoist temple in the middle of the night, and met an old Taoist priest, if this is known, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Qin Xiao was condescending, and naturally he saw it clearly.

At this time, he had already seen the intentions of the old Taoist priest, and in the middle of the night, the third watch lured a noble lady to the Taoist temple, obviously with a heart of distraction.

The so-called men and women do not kiss, this old Taoist priest put one hand on Mrs. Huang's shoulder and gently stroked, obviously he was already light, he sneered in his heart, secretly thinking that this old Taoist priest is really cowardly, and even tricked the official wife to come to the Taoist temple to do bad things, this Mrs. Huang begged for a son, but she was also extremely confused, how could a woman's family run into this wolf's den in the middle of the night.

"It turns out that the real person is a half-immortal." Mrs. Huang hurriedly said: "If that real person can help me, I will definitely be able to get pregnant." ”

"It's not hard, it's not hard." Hongling Zhenren gently put one hand on Mrs. Huang's shoulder, Mrs. Huang's body trembled, she couldn't help but twist her body, and said softly: "Real person, you..... 1”

"Madame's virtue is impaired, and if you want to become pregnant, you must make up for it." Hongling Zhenren sighed lightly: "At present, there is indeed a way to make up for the lady's virtue, and the poor road can even guarantee that the lady can conceive a man." As he spoke, a hand gently rubbed on Mrs. Huang's shoulder.

The old Taoist priest was obviously still very alert, and when he noticed the footsteps outside, he immediately put a finger to his mouth, signaling Mrs. Huang not to speak, and then pointed to a screen in the corner.

Soon, I heard a knock on the door, Hongling Zhenren straightened his clothes and said in a deep voice: "Who is it?" ”

"It's me, I want to see a real person." A cold voice came from outside.

"Real ..... What can a real person do? Mrs. Huang obviously noticed that the old Taoist priest had bad intentions, stood up and avoided the old Taoist priest, but she didn't dare to offend Hongling Zhenren, so she just bowed and said: "As long as you can let the old man taste his long-cherished wish, it will cost some more silver, and the concubine will be willing to give it." ”

Hongling Zhenren was about to speak, when he suddenly raised his hand, as if he had noticed something, Qin Xiao saw this, held his breath, and soon heard footsteps from the courtyard.

His attention was all in the house, and he didn't pay much attention to the rest of the place, but this

"It's not used up." The archer sat down on the chair, put the big bow on the table, and sneered: "I just came here to ask the real person, I don't miss a cent of the money I should pay, why would I take the fake medicine as the real thing?" ”

"Counterfeit medicine?" Hongling Zhenren was a little confused: "What fake medicine?" What are you talking about? ”

The archer said lightly: "The poison that I bought from you last time was useless. ”

Hongling Zhenren went over and opened the door, and Qin Xiao soon saw a person enter the house, only to see that the person was dressed in black, with leather armor around his waist, stealing a leather hat, carrying a quiver on his back, and even holding a bow in his hand.

Qin Xiao was a little strange, he thought that there was a Taoist priest in the Taoist temple who came to find Hongling Zhenren, but he didn't want to be such an archer dressed in such a costume.

Hongling Zhenren was obviously very familiar with this person, closed the door, and his voice was slightly displeased: "What are you doing here at this time?" Just ran out of medicine for you? ”

It's really hard to find a place to step on the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it.

He never expected that he would follow the carriage tonight, although he didn't find the red leaves, but he found out that Hongling Zhenren was doing it, and now this archer actually took the initiative to come to the door.

Assassinated in Zitong Lane that night, Qin Xiao killed the giant, and the swordsman was injured and fled, but the archer hiding in the shadows shot him and went quietly, and he didn't even see his appearance.

Hongling Zhenren said angrily: "The poison of this Dao, it is extremely poisonous, as long as you see blood, you will definitely die." ”

"I quenched my poison on the arrow and shot my opponent." The archer said coldly: "Not only is he not dead, but he is still alive and well, real man, that arrow must have hit him in the shoulder, and it went deep into it, if it was really as you said, he would have seen Hades a few days ago." ”

Qin Xiao's heart sank, and his eyes were like knives.

He really didn't expect that this archer secretly had a relationship with Hongling Zhenren.

Hongling Zhenren glanced at the screen as if he was not, sat down at the table, and said, "Are you mistaken?" There is no problem with the poison that the Tao gives you. ”

"The real person has seen him today." The archer said lightly: "Today, the real person passed by Sipingfang, did you encounter a young man who made trouble?" Not only did he hurt the real man's horse, but also injured a few of the real man's apprentices? ”

Who knew that this archer would come here.

The archer claimed to have shot his opponent in the shoulder, and that the arrow was quenching poison, which is exactly the same as the situation that night, when he was shot in the shoulder by the archer and the arrow was indeed poisonous.

With such a coincidence, although Qin Xiao was not completely sure that this archer must be the assassin who had disappeared that night, he was also ninety percent sure that it was this person.

Who is he? Why didn't he be killed? That dog, Ben Dao will kill him. ”

"If the poison that the real person gave last time really sealed his throat with blood, he would have died a long time ago." The archer's tone was also quite annoyed: "My Shadow Arrow has been on the road for many years, and I haven't missed any of the deals I have received. It was someone who said that the poison prepared by the real person was extremely poisonous, so he secretly traded with the real person, but it was not as famous as meeting him, and the real person really disappointed me this time. Not only did my business not succeed, but my reputation was ruined, and in the future, if I failed in this industry, I would definitely become a laughing stock of my peers. ”

Hongling Zhenren was also puzzled: "It's impossible, you were looking for the poor road at that time, and you bought the most poisonous tractor, the poisoned person will definitely die, and there is no antidote to the poor road." This..... Something must have gone wrong. ”

A grim smile appeared at the corner of Qin Xiao's mouth.

If only ninety percent of the time was certain that this person was the archer who assassinated him that night, it would have been completely certain by now.

When Hongling Zhenren heard this, he was furious and said, "You want to kill."

"Five hundred taels!" Shadow Arrow nodded the silver ticket, put it in his arms, and said, "It's okay, you pay me five hundred taels, and this matter ends here." ”

"Are you going to rob?" Hongling Zhenren said angrily: "Don't you know who I am? This Dao is the royal alchemist of the saint, you took away five hundred taels of silver, do you still want to live? ”

Shadow Arrow sneered and said, "The alchemist in the palace sells poison in private and spreads it, and the reputation of the real person is not good?" Glancing at the screen, he said: "The Spring Festival is worth a thousand gold, and real people still have good things to do, so I won't bother." As soon as he gave his hand, he turned around and left.

"For whatever reason, I don't care." Shadow Arrow said coldly: "But the real person has ruined my business, how to solve this matter?" The employer paid three hundred taels of silver for the life, and paid one hundred taels in advance, but I failed to get it, and not only did I have to return the one hundred taels to them, but the other two hundred taels of silver that I had to receive were also missing. I also bought a bottle of poison for you, which cost eighty taels, and in addition, my reputation was damaged, and the future business was not good, should the real person give me some compensation. His eyes moved to the silver tickets on the table, and he reached out and took them.

These silver tickets are exactly the cost of Mrs. Huang's begging for a child, just now Mrs. Huang put it on the table, Hongling Zhenren coveted Mrs. Huang's plump and mature body, and she didn't care too much about the hundreds of taels of silver, and before opening the door, she even forgot to put away the silver tickets.

Seeing that the Shadow Arrow took the silver ticket, Hongling Zhenren immediately said angrily: "Put it down, what are you doing?" ”

"Madame doesn't want to ask for a son?" Hongling Zhenren smiled slightly and said, "Come, sit down and have a cup of tea first, and we will make up for your virtue tonight, so that you can add a big fat boy to Huang Shaoqing as soon as possible." ”

The Shadow Arrow opened the door of the house, did not look back, and went out, Hongling Zhenren followed to the door, looked annoyed, clenched his fists, looked at the back of the Shadow Arrow leaving, gritted his teeth, but soon retracted back into the house, closed the door, walked to the edge of the screen, and said softly: "Madam, come out, it's okay." ”

Mrs. Huang walked out from behind the screen, her face was a little pale under the light veil, and her voice trembled a little: "Real person, concubine body..... The concubine will say goodbye first.....!"

Hongling Zhenren was stunned, and only then did he understand that this Shadow Arrow had already discovered that there was a woman in the house, but the Shadow Arrow obviously had no interest in it.

The shadow arrow body is sneaky, this courtyard is a secluded place, and there are no other Taoists to disturb him, he went to the high wall on the side, took out the hook that had been carrying the iron chain from his body, threw it and hooked the wall with the hook, pulled the iron chain and climbed the wall, then put away the chain hook, and jumped off the wall.

Falling off the wall, looking left and right, then quickly ran to a small forest on the edge of the Taoist temple, as long as you pass through this forest, there is another street in front, but before you get out of the forest, you hear an indifferent voice from behind: "Shadow Arrow, you see who I am!" ”
