Chapter Seventy-Five: Shocking
The yard was quiet, there was not a single murmur, and there were several wooden boxes stacked in the corners, rusty and untouched for a long time. In the middle is a patio for fire prevention, and the pool is half-filled with water, with a few dead leaves scattered around.
It's cold and cold, dead trees and black crows,
It is bleak as life!
"It rained a few days ago, but I didn't expect some water to be stored......"
In the courtyard where no one has been around for many years, the presence of water in the patio naturally arouses suspicion, but the explanation of the hundred paintings is reasonable, but it does not arouse the man's alarm.
"There are all the bedding in the wing, and it may smell a little musty. If you don't like it, I'll change the bed and send me a new one......"
"No need!"
The man looked around for a moment and said, "Go ahead, don't come here if you have nothing to do, lest you be discovered." When it gets dark, come quietly and take me to the waterfall to check. ”
Baihua answered, slowly retreated, closed the courtyard door with his hand, and made sure that the man's vision was completely obscured, and his legs and feet suddenly became weak, and if he hadn't held on to a weeping poplar on the edge of the cliff in time, he would have almost rolled down the mountain.
Her palms are as moist as autumn rain!
Staggered out of the courtyard, turned the mountain road, and there were several people standing in front of him, led by Xu You with a smile on his face, gentle and soft as the first day through the branches, and said, "Baihua, see who is back?" ”
Beside him, stood Wan Qi, facing the expectant gaze of Baihua, and said with a slight smile: "Everything is safe!" ”
Bai Hua covered his mouth violently, tears dripped uncontrollably down his cheeks, Wan Qi took her into his arms, stroked her bun, and whispered: "Don't be afraid, it's all over." ”
Is it all in the past?
The man walked around the courtyard, pushed open the rooms and looked at them, and finally did not live in the master bedroom, but went to a side room on the left.
The room near the courtyard wall, with a large tree outside the wall, can be used as an escape in a critical moment.
As soon as I entered the door, my hair stood on end!
At some point, there was a person sitting in the room!
A rickety, trembling old man!
He held the hostage in his own hands, so he was very relieved about Baihua, and he didn't believe that she would set a trap this time. But even so, the habit he had cultivated over the years, he still carefully checked the terrain all the way up the mountain, and chose this room that was beneficial to him, and with his cultivation, if he found something different, it was enough to escape without effort.
But now, within the scope of his perception, there is a person sitting silently!
What's even more terrifying is that he can see the other party, but he can't capture the other party's location. It's like an illusory reflection, you can see it, but you can't touch it!
Retreat!
He was also resolute, but for a moment, he immediately realized that this place was not suitable for a long time, but as soon as his body moved, his heart hit a finger.
Skinny, pale fingertips,
Sharp, as sharp as a sword!
The old man, who had just been sitting in the room, appeared behind him like a ghost, and with only one finger stretching out, all his confidence and resistance were shattered.
An immeasurable energy invaded his body, and he was numb and fell to the ground!
"Thank you Chipper!"
Chiber shook his head, and as he turned to leave, he said, "Don't take it as an example!" ”
Zhan Wenjun respectfully saluted Qi Bo's back, waited for him to leave, and instructed Wan Qi: "Bring him up!" ”
The man, whose hands were tied with a hemp rope thick at the wrist, and iron chains on his feet, came into the room and stood proudly without the slightest panic or nervousness.
Although that finger restrained him, it was gentle and auspicious, and it did not hurt his heart.
The interrogation has always been the responsibility of Shishu, but this time it was very strange, Shishu stared at the man, and did not make a sound.
Zhan Wenjun was puzzled, but she didn't ask more, looked at the person's demeanor, and said, "What is your surname, and where is it?" Why are you secretly inquiring about my Guo family's movements? ”
"You don't deserve to ask my name and surname, if you really want to know, call Guo Mian to come!"
Zhan Wenjun raised his eyebrows and said: "I don't like you are a native of Qiantang with your accent, if you are a businessman from other places, and you have a grudge with your uncle because of business matters, you can openly explain it, be reasonable, and talk about human feelings if you are unreasonable." There is no reason and human affection in the world that cannot be compatible, so why bother to carry out this insidious and treacherous scheme, kidnap people's families, and force people to rebel, but make things that could have been said to be peaceful become uncontrollable? ”
Xu You, who was present on the side, secretly praised it, he didn't want to continue to participate, but this matter was really strange, so at the invitation of Zhan Wenjun, he just let it go and came over to join in the fun.
"Huh, merchant?" The man laughed and said, "Flies and dogs, rats are blind, you do such a lowly business, do you think that others are so bad?" Ridiculous! ”
Zhan Wenjun frowned and said: "Looking at your behavior, it shouldn't be an ordinary Qi Min, it's just that what kind of scholar clan can raise a person with a heart like you, it's really hard for me to guess." But it doesn't matter, since you have inquired about the Guo family, you naturally know that there is a spring well in Guo's mansion, and the torture instruments there are enough to make the dead speak. I asked you at this time, I pity you, and when I get to the spring well, it is not such a simple question. ”
"You dare!"
When the man heard the word Quanjing, his face had changed a little, and he said angrily: "Zhan Wenjun, you are a girl who doesn't know the world, what do you know!" Hugh asked Hu to cause trouble for Guo Mian. ”
"Oh? There are things I don't understand, but one thing I do know is that people like you are actually the most afraid of death! ”
"You...... Do you know who I am? If you dare to torture me, I will let you, no, I will let your entire Guo family not die well! ”
"What a big breath!"
Zhan Wenjun said lightly: "Come on, send him to the cold spring!" ”
The cold spring is in charge of the rivers and lakes, and this kind of person of unknown origin has always been sent to the cold spring for disposal.
The man finally panicked, and shouted inwardly, "Wait! Zhan Wenjun, you step back and let me tell you my identity! ”
"There is nothing to be said to anyone, and there is no need to hide anything."
"Good! Don't regret it! The man said viciously, "I am ......."
"Shut his mouth!"
Shishu, who had been meditating in meditation, suddenly spoke, and immediately two Quanjing workers stepped forward and blocked the man's mouth with a sealing iron stopper. His face was anxious, and he struggled to scream, but it was too late, and he could only let out a whining wail.
"Take it down first and wait, don't be tortured!"
After the man was taken down, Zhan Wenjun quietly looked at the Ten Books, waiting for her to give a reasonable explanation.
Shishu looked at Xu You, Xu You smiled, and said, "I'll say goodbye first......
"It's okay!" Shishu frowned, and said: "If Lang Jun hears about this matter, forget it, just don't spread it." ”
Xu You nodded and said, "Don't worry, I don't have many advantages, and a tight mouth is one of them!" ”
"I know this person!"
At this level, Xu You and Zhan Wenjun had already guessed that if they hadn't met, the Ten Books would not have silenced him when he was about to reveal his identity.
The point is, what is special about this person's identity that makes Shishu so cautious, as if facing a great enemy.
"The reason why I know this person is because I have seen him standing behind King Hengyang in the East Palace of Jinling!"
Zhan Wenjun and Xu You's faces changed at the same time!
