Chapter 69: Dark Incense
The three of them went out of the room, hiding, and finally approached the path where Meng Zhou and Jing Rong came in.
Meng Zhou pushed aside the grass and pushed Jing Rong, "You go out first, remember to see if there is any movement around you when you approach the exit, if there is, you will hide in the grass, and leave the rest to me, as for Xiaokong, huh, what about people?" ”
Meng Zhou looked around, only to see the figure in the darkness running away quickly, she grinded her teeth, this bastard boy, really think she is a bodhisattva who crosses the world, since he can't go to death in time, it just so happens that she takes the risk to save this elm pimple.
"Let's go."
Jing Rong said, "What about that child?" ”
Meng Zhou said hatefully: "Since he didn't spare his life, I don't have the time to save this life and make a floating slaughter, let's go." ”
When Xiaokong walked into the courtyard again, two oil lamps were lit on both sides, and the gentleman in blue stood at the door of the room, staring at him with cold eyes.
Xiaokong slammed and knelt on the ground, "Ask Mr. to open the net, let Ah Yuan go, and let him go to the ground." ”
"Open the net?"
Xiaokong clenched his fists and said, "Sir, it's the disciple's fault, and the disciple shouldn't act recklessly." Ask Mr. to remember the past and let go of his wish. ”
"Heh, you are bold and reckless, trying to discredit the school, fleeing without permission, and unrepentant, in vain I have helped you find a home for so many years, you don't have to remind me in a roundabout way, if it weren't for the Gao family in other towns who took a fancy to you and acted at you, the school could keep you to this day."
"As long as the gentleman responds to the disciple's request, the disciple will obey the gentleman and say the same."
"Really? If this one on the ground can still breathe today, I am afraid that when you come back, it will be me who is lying on the ground. ”
Xiaokong gritted his teeth and said in a hidden voice: "It is the disciple's sin, and the disciple is willing to accept the punishment." ”
A sneer flashed on the blue-clothed gentleman's face, "How could I move you, as for punishment or not, just look at it." Come on, let's settle it. ”
Hearing this, Xiaokong rushed in the direction of Ah Yuan like crazy, "No, don't, sir, Ah Yuan is dead, and the disciple knows that he is wrong, the disciple will never do it again, please let him go." ”
The blue-clothed gentleman waved his hand impatiently, and the two big men gave the idea, and pulled Xiao Kong to the side with brute force.
Xiao Kongyan watched as Mr. Blue took out the bottle of potion from his arms, struggling with all his strength but unable to take it off.
With a bang, the courtyard froze for a moment, and the porcelain vase in Mr. Blue's hand fell to the ground, he paused, and his eyes skimmed from the broken porcelain vase on the ground to the wall.
On the wall, a young man in black sat casually, spinning a slingshot in his hand, looking uninhibited.
"Who is so bold!"
As soon as the blue-clothed gentleman spoke, the two big men holding Xiaokong immediately let go of their hands and protected the sides of the blue-clothed man.
"Tsk, the opening sentence is really old-fashioned. You've asked that, you must have come to smash the field. ”
"Bold, you don't ask what this place is."
Meng Zhou put away the slingshot, and said in a lazy voice: "Shaoguang Hall, specially opened for poor children, there is a living Bodhisattva inside, and those who do not accept half a cent of silver taels, let people read and write, pave the way for people to make a living, and the children who go out from here have a bright future, so they are deeply loved by the people." Meng Zhou said with a sarcastic smile: "The signboard is really good." However, the gentleman said, can the people outside the wall see that the living Bodhisattva inside the wall is pushed up with the bones of a dead man? ”
The gentleman in blue furrowed his eyebrows, "What the hell do you want to do?" ”
Meng Zhou lowered his head and chuckled, "Heh, it's no wonder that you have a human face and a beast heart, it's because you can't even understand human words." ”
The gentleman in blue had anger on his face and shouted, "You are presumptuous! ”
Meng Zhou rubbed his ears and said casually: "Well, I know, I don't need you to remind me." She said, glancing behind the big tree in the courtyard, "I'm going to jump." ”
After a few squirts, Jing Rong slowly shook out from behind the tree, stretched out his hand and looked up at Meng Zhou, and said softly, "Come down." ”
Meng Zhou shook his feet, and his heart jumped sideways.
"I've got you."
"I know, you're letting go."
The gentleman in blue saw the arrogance of the two people next to the wall, and his heart was on fire, "You are presumptuous! ”
Meng Zhou jumped down from Jing Rong's arms, took a few steps forward, swept his eyes across the small space, and sneered: "It seems that your husband is not very knowledgeable, just a few words over and over again, you might as well follow me if you follow him to study." At least I know how to write the word conscience. And "Meng Zhou put down his cynical attitude and looked directly at Xiao Kongdao: "The man has gold under his knees, today you even kneel for such a person, don't blame the humiliation you will suffer tomorrow, get up!" ”
Xiao Kong listened, his face changed a few times, and he slowly got up with his body.
The blue-clothed gentleman laughed angrily, "Well, since you are so clever in your words, then I want to see if your mouth is as hard as your bones." Come on, bring it down with me. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a commotion through the door.
"What's going on?"
Meng Zhou put away the slingshot and the short knife hidden in his hand, and said in a loud voice: "The courtyard is too dark, so I borrowed the fire outside for Mr. ”
The light and sound of the fire got closer and closer, and finally illuminated the whole courtyard.
The blue-clothed gentleman looked at the square-faced official who was at the head of the courtyard, and was stunned, and hurriedly asked for a gift, "I don't know if the envoy Zhang is coming, and the people are not welcome, but I don't know what advice the envoy has to give here late at night." ”
"I don't dare to advise, I want to ask Mr. Gao what is this?" Zhang Hou said, his gaze turned to Xiao Kong, who was holding Ah Yuan.
"Zhang Cha Envoy." A heart-filled call came from outside the courtyard, and Meng Zhou turned to look, a white-haired old man followed by a few disciples walking slowly.
Seeing the comer, Mr. Gao sighed lightly, and Zhang Cha also leaned over to make a gesture, "Mr. Li." ”
Seeing this, Meng Zhou raised his eyebrows, silently took a few steps back, turned his head and rushed behind him, "What is the origin of this person, such a big shelf, it seems that the rescuer we moved is not a big deal." Why don't you speak? Meng Zhou said and turned his head to look, where was there still the shadow of Jingrong.
Meng Zhou grinded her teeth a little annoyed, she knew that she really couldn't count on this nerd, seeing such a big scene, he definitely didn't know how to hide in that corner.
At this end, the old Mr. Li nodded at Zhang Hou and instructed the disciples behind him to put on robes for Xiaokong and Ah Yuan.
"Envoy Zhang, I haven't seen you for a long time, Lord Liu has been fine lately."
Zhang Houdao: "Mr. Lao Li is worried, the adult is still in good health, but he is a little worried about the whereabouts of the son." ”
"Liu Gongzi still has no news?"
"Yes."
"It's really worrying, tell your family, I will pay more attention to him, and I hope he will take care of his health."
"Thank you, Mr. Li."
Mr. Li raised his hand, "Don't worry." He said, his gaze sweeping over Mr. Gao.
When their eyes met, Mr. Gao shrank and bowed in a low voice: "Old man." ”
Mr. Li's face was full of anger, and he pointed his finger at Xiaokong: "How many people do you have to disturb in the middle of the night, I have already said that teaching disciples to be responsible for education, what about you, you only know the responsibility but do not know how to educate, and now you have to bother Zhang to send an envoy to clean up these chores for you." ”
"Yes, yes, what the old gentleman said is that the student knows his mistakes."
"Come, you two send these two children back and appease them." The last sentence that Mr. Li said very slowly, Meng Zhou looked at Xiaokong, he snorted a few times, and finally lowered his eyes and did not speak.
Mr. Li said again: "By the way, since Zhang sent an envoy to come here, you might as well take a look around, Gao Lun, and open the door in this courtyard." ”
"This, this..."
"Open."
"No need." Zhang Hou clasped his hands, was silent for two seconds and raised his head, "Mr. Li, I'm sorry." ”
Hearing this, the dream was a little weak, and he went around and did so much, did he really end up with a disturbing sentence? Her eyes touched Xiaokong's eyes, and she suddenly woke up, her hands under her sleeves clenched tightly, she took a deep breath, and took a step.
As soon as Meng Zhou took a step, his hand was suddenly grabbed and pulled back.
In the courtyard, Zhang Cha took one last look at the room and waved his men to evacuate.
Who knew that one wave had just settled and another wave had risen, and there was a noisy footstep outside the courtyard, and Gao Lun heard the voice and shrank behind Mr. Li.
"What about people, didn't you say you found it? Where? ”
As soon as the words fell, a short round-faced man rushed in, and when he saw everyone in the courtyard, he was slightly stunned, "Mr. Li, why are you here?" ”
"Seeing Lord Liu so anxious, but what's the urgency?"
LIU Kuodao; "Yes, I hope Mr. Li will understand, and I will explain to you later, quickly, a few people, open the door for me."
The door of the firewood room was pushed open, a faint fragrance in the room, under the firelight, Liu Kuo hurriedly stepped into the room, looked around, turned his head and said to Zhang Hou: "Didn't you come to report that the second son was found, where is the person?" ”
Zhang Hou glanced at the room with only a few stacks of dry firewood, and said: "My lord, I just received an anonymous letter and wanted to find out, but before it was implemented, it alarmed Mr. Li. ”
"Waste, I gave you so long, it's still this set of rhetoric, mistakes, what can go wrong, it's not that you are not doing things badly."
"Great, sir." A trembling voice sounded in his ears, Zhao Kuo turned his head to look at the kid who made the sound, and was angry, "Say!"
"I picked it up in the inner corner and picked up Childe's tassel."
"Torches." Zhao Kuo said and took the tassel, and became anxious, "It's really my son's thing, quick, lead the way." ”
Walking into the inner room, there is a wooden box next to the wall.
Zhao Kuo said: "Come on, open it, open it quickly." ”
A few officials stepped forward and walked around twice, only to realize that the door of the openable box was tightly attached to the wall, so they borrowed each other's strength to turn the wooden box back little by little.
One of the officials glanced at Zhao Kuo, tentatively reached out and slowly opened it along the box.
As the door opened, a greasy sweet fragrance overflowed, and an adult man in the box curled up all over, his skinny body was covered with black patterns, and there was a small jar at his feet, which was even more terrifying under the lamplight......
After a brief lull, there was a sudden rumbling in the room.
Meng Zhou shrank behind the tree, watching a few mansion men running out of the house and holding on to the pillar and vomiting, she pursed her lips and turned around in disgust, and when she saw Jing Rong, she asked, "By the way, where did you just go?" ”
"They're out."
Seeing Mengzhou, he immediately turned his head to look, and Jing Rong breathed a sigh of relief.
In the courtyard, Zhao Kuo walked out of the firewood room with the support of the government soldiers, and his steps were in a trance.
Mr. Li had a serious face and asked Gao Kuo, "What's going on?" ”
Gao bracket trembled, "Old gentleman, student, student really doesn't know." ”
A big man standing beside Gao Kuo said in a loud voice: "Mr. Gao, is it the man in black we tracked down tonight?" ”
Hearing this, Gao Kuo hurriedly continued: "Yes, it must be so, all this must be done by the man in black tonight, who wants to slander our Shaoguang Hall." ”
"That's enough." Zhao Kuo shook off the mansion and stepped forward a few steps, "My son died tragically in your school today, no matter what, Mr. Gao should give me an explanation." ”
Mr. Li said: "Don't worry, Lord Zhao, I, Li, will definitely investigate to the end and give Zhao Gongzi justice." ”
"Mr. Li, I, Zhao, have always respected you, and I hope that you can handle this matter properly today and hold people accountable."
"Don't worry, Lord Zhao, that's natural."
Zhao Kuo took a deep breath, turned around and glanced at the person wrapped in a white cloth, and felt a burst of pathos in his heart.
Meng Zhou watched Zhao Kuo lead people to withdraw, and there were only a few people left in the courtyard.
The moon was halfway down, and several corpses wrapped in white cloth on the ground in the courtyard were extremely cold.
At the same time, the moon building by the river is full of flames......
