Liang Quan was already so frightened that he couldn't speak.

Xia Bingzhuo heard Jiang Wu's words, smiled awkwardly, turned his head and glared at Liang Quan, Liang Quan looked at Xia Bingzhuo with a panicked face, and couldn't say anything.

Xia Bingzhuo glanced at Liang Quan, and his eyes seemed to be mocking him for not being productive.

Turning his head and looking at Jiang Wu with a smile, he asked tentatively, "I don't know...... Why did the old owner make this decision? The young owner also knows that these shops have been open in Longcheng for decades, and some of them are already time-honored brands in Longcheng, which is ...... If you want to take back those shops suddenly, you have to tell us why...... You say yes......" Xia Bingzhuo said, preparing to pour tea for Jiang Wu again, picking up the teapot, only to find that the tea he poured for the man just now had not moved at all, and then he embarrassedly put the teapot back in its place.

"This matter is also well thought out."

"Recently, I have heard some rumors that there is a plague in Longcheng, Lord Xia, you also know that my Chishu Villa involves a wide range of industries, and this flow of people is even more complicated, if this plague is real, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not spread to the interior of my Chishu Villa."

"Actually, my father means that after all, he has been opening a store in Longcheng for a long time, and he doesn't want to close the store, just in case, he has to make this decision, after all, the plague is not a joke, do you say, Lord Xia." Jiang Wu tilted his head, raised his sword eyebrows, and looked at him.

"It was because of the plague." Xia Bingzhuo breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes were slight, and he said very lightly.

"Don't worry, Master Liang has reported to me about the plague just now, and the plague is completely false."

Jiang Wu raised his eyebrows, "Is there nothing?" What do you mean, is there a rumor about the plague in Longcheng? ”

"Don't worry, Gongzi Jiang, I have arrested the rumor-monger." Liang Quan echoed.

"Really? Someone made a rumor? Jiang Wu raised his hand and raised his chin, "It seems that this rumor-monger is not small?" How dare you make up such a big lie. ”

"Not really, but they're just untouchables who don't know how to live or die." Xia Bingzhuo echoed with a smile.

"This rumor-monger is so hateful, he almost caused Chi Yan Villa to lose such a big business, how can he be easily let go, what do you say? Lord Xia? Jiang Wu threw the question to him again, looking like you were looking at it.

"That's nature, that's nature." The man smiled.

"Lord Liang, what about me Jiang, everything is good, but I am more resentful, huh...... I have a reluctant request. ”

"Young farmer, please speak?" Liang Quan never dared to let Jiang Wu beg him.

"I want to interrogate the rumormonger myself."

In-person interrogation?

"Forehead ......" Liang Quan's eyes suddenly widened, with a panicked look, and pea-sized beads of sweat slipped down his forehead one after another.

"What? Is it inconvenient? Jiang Wu saw that the man did not answer for a long time, his face was expressionless, his voice was slightly deep, his phoenix eyes swept over Liang Quan like a sharp blade, and the man's lack of anger and self-authority made the temperature in the room plummet.

Everyone understands that the man is angry.

Liang Quan lowered his head in fright, trembling.

Seeing this, Xia Bingzhuo hurriedly turned his head to look at the man in warning, and said in a low voice, "What's the matter with you?" What about people!? ”

"I ...... I. ”

"Lord Liang, it seems that my face in Chishu Villa is still too small."

"No, no, no...... I didn't mean that, it's just... It's just that the old man, he... He's ...... Die...... He's dead. Liang Quan hesitated for a long time, and finally straightened his tongue.

"What did you say!?" Jiang Wu's voice was terrifying, and he stood up from his seat all of a sudden, and his phoenix eyes seemed to be about to cut him with a thousand knives.

"I, I, I...... I didn't know, I didn't expect him to be so weak and die halfway through. Liang Quan was so frightened that his knees trembled, and he fell to his knees all of a sudden.

"Lord Liang, the prisoner died before he was interrogated, I think you think you think you have been wearing your black gauze hat for too long."

"The little ones should be damned, the little ones should be damned."

"Young owner, we ......"

"Lord Xia!" Xia Bingzhuo just wanted to interject and go in, but was interrupted by Jiang Wu.

"As a judge, Your Majesty sent you here to investigate the plague, and you are here to have fun, although my Chishu Villa has no achievements in the court, but if you want to participate in your Majesty's front, you still have this qualification." In the last few words, Jiang Wu's voice suddenly turned cold, and his dark pupils glanced back far and deeply.

"I ......" Xia Bingzhuo swallowed his saliva, wanting to raise his hand to wipe the fine sweat off his forehead, but he didn't dare to move.

The thin lips pursed slightly, representing the man's anger, Jiang Wu's sharp eyes swept over the trembling two, with a slight warning, and after a long sneer, the man threw his sleeves and left.

It wasn't until the man had left the time of the half-pillar incense that the two dared to move, Liang Quan turned his eyes to Xia Bingzhuo, and asked tentatively, "Big ...... My lord, we ...... What do we do next? ”

Xia Bingzhuo slowly turned his head to look at Liang Quan with an expressionless face, and suddenly his voice rose and shouted at him, "What should I do?" You ask me, who am I going to ask?! ”

……

"What do you say! My dad... My father—" The young man blushed with excitement when he heard the man's words.

Jiang Wu pursed his lips tightly and said nothing.

"Why did they kill my father,! Why kill my dad! I'm going to get revenge on that dog officer! As he spoke, the young man blushed and was about to leave for the government in anger.

"You calm down, you won't solve anything like this." Jiang Wu grabbed the young man's arm.

The boy lowered his head heavily and cried silently.

"Son...... Yikes. The sound of dry wood coming from the house.

Hearing the woman's call, the boy raised his hand to wipe the tears from his face and walked into the house.

The woman in the room had a sallow face, chapped and purple lips, and was lying on a hospital bed.

"Mother." The boy squatted on the edge of the bed, looking at the lady on the bed with red and swollen eyes.

Madame turned her head weakly, her lips opened and closed with difficulty, "Son, what happened?" Why are you crying. ”

The boy sniffed and lowered his head slightly in frustration.

When the woman saw the young man's appearance, she thought that he was sad about her condition again, so she pulled the corners of her mouth vigorously and comforted, "You don't have to feel sorry for me, I have lived to such an age, and I am already content, cough cough...... Ahem, cough, cough. Perhaps overexerted, the woman began to cough violently.

The young man looked up at the woman in panic, and gently stroked the couple's chest, "Mother, mother, how are you, mother, don't get excited." ”

"Gongzi Jiang, is there really no way to heal my mother?" The young man turned his head and looked at Jiang Wu excitedly.

Jiang Wu stood at the door, looking at the scene in front of him, he couldn't answer the young man's question, only to see his eyebrows slightly together, pursing his lips and looking at the young man, not that he didn't want to save, but he couldn't do anything, in fact, he had a pulse for her when he arrived here that day, and her pulse couldn't find out what disease she had, but she didn't get better, her physical condition was getting worse day by day, and he didn't know what kind of disease it was.

"Plague, this is the plague." Suddenly, the woman's darkened eyes widened as if she had returned to the light of day, and she spoke loudly.

"Mother, mother, don't scare me!" The boy grabbed the woman's hands and cried out.

"Son, son, this is the plague, I have the plague, your father said that I am the plague, I am dead, you must burn my body, otherwise I will be infected, I will be infected!"

"Mother, don't, I don't want you to die." The boy cried.

"You must burn me!"

"Poof!" A mouthful of blood gushed out, cutting an arc through the young man's eyes, and the young man's frightened eyes suddenly stopped, watching the blood fly out and stain the woman's chest red.

Jiang Wu's eyes shook slightly, he didn't expect this to be the result, his thin lips were tightly pursed into a straight line, his palms were tightly curled together, and his bones clicked.

"Mother!" The young man saw that the woman was not making a fuss, her hand slipped weakly from his hand, and fell heavily on the edge of the bed, and the blood remaining at the corner of the woman's mouth stung the young man's eyes deeply.

Just lost his father and his mother unfortunately died, which is tantamount to the sky falling for a teenager who is still underage.

……

According to the woman's last wishes, the young man still cremated the woman, Jiang Wu also brought back the old man's body, on the offering platform raised high with dry firewood, men and women lay quietly on it, last night it rained all night, the rain was continuous, and the fog around was very heavy, adding a bit of mesmeristic sorrow to the amorous autumn color, and it was also a portrayal of the young man's sadness.

No matter how reluctant he was, the boy still lit the offering platform with the torch in his hand, and the small spark seemed to be given life, getting bigger and bigger, and in an instant, the sky-high fire spread rapidly, and the raging fire completely surrounded the corpse. On the young man's side, Jiang Wu stood straight, he stood expressionlessly in front of the fire, his sharp phoenix eyes staring straight at the flames.

On the other side, the woman hiding behind the big tree pursed her white lips, her delicate face, and her eyebrows frowned slightly.

It wasn't until a long time later, when the fire had weakened, that the woman slowly lowered her head and turned away silently, but she never thought that the man behind her had been waiting for her for a long time.

Jiang Wu was dressed in light blue clothes, hidden in the misty woods, just like the scene he saw in a dream.

Wind Chimes looked at the man for a long time before slowly approaching him.

"You'll know I'm spying on you early on." This is not a question sentence, the wind chime put away all the sadness and said coldly.

Jiang Wu looked at the woman with an uncertain expression, and suddenly, he hooked his lips, looking gentle and elegant, "No, I don't think you're spying on me, if you really want to stop me from investigating the plague, you should have taken action against me long before I went to find Xia Bingzhuo." ”

Wind Chime looked at the man with deep eyebrows.

"Your presence here today shows that your nature is not bad, the last time you brought me, you obviously wanted to say something to me, but later, you didn't want to go with me, why is all this?"

Why?

The wind chimes tilted their heads slightly, as if they were thinking.

"You have also seen how many innocent people have died because of her ambition, and as long as you are willing to tell the truth, they can all be saved." Jiang Wu frowned and continued.

"If you're worried that Gumei will hurt you, I can protect you."

Time passed minute by minute, and the wind chime, who had not spoken for a long time, silently raised his head, looked at Jiang Wu with flat eyes, and spoke, "What is the relationship between you and Chao Zinu?" ”

Asahi slave?

Jiang Wu didn't understand why Feng Chime asked him this question, his phoenix eyes deepened a little, and he said lightly, "You know, I'm a businessman, and I just have some business dealings with Lord Chao, and I don't have a deep relationship. Jiang Wu said, his phoenix eyes looking at the woman's expression.

After listening to the man's words, Feng Chime thought about it again, her eyes seemed to be about to see him through, for a long time, she looked at Jiang Wu seriously, and said solemnly word by word, "I can tell you the truth, but you must bring Chaozi Nu to see me." ”

After speaking, the wind chimes suddenly turned around and disappeared, leaving Jiang Wu standing alone in the hazy place of smoke and rain, lost his mind for a long time...
