Chapter 663: The Masked Man
Bai Qingyun bowed slightly, "I know." ”
Liu Fudong stood up, threw the horsewhip to his seat, and walked to Bai Qingyun with his arms crossed.
"That's good, it's the same when you come here, you can only save your life by telling the truth, I don't want to move the whip, these things, you can't stand it when they are called to you, come and talk about you and your adoptive father, as well as the matter of the Golden Crow Sect, don't hide anything, since we can find you, we naturally control the evidence."
Bai Qingyun raised his head slightly, this cell only had a narrow window under the eaves, and all the light in the room came from except for a huge charcoal basin.
From this angle, it seemed that it was getting a little dark, and she could smell a mixture of earth and grass.
It seemed that it was going to rain, so he retracted his gaze with a sigh and glanced at Liu Fudong.
"My original name was Qiu Niang, I was saved by my uncle, and I changed my name after redemption, and I also hope that I can change my face and live a good life, my life experience is not clear before I am eighteen years old, so no one around me knows.
The only memory I have of my childhood is that in a mass grave or some valley, surrounded by corpses, the weather was very cold, dripping into ice, I cried and shook the people around me, no one answered, and then a ragged man rescued me, this person was my adoptive father.
Learn to sing the piano and sing music with him, beg for a living in Jiangnan, of course, also taught me some life-saving means, so more than ten years passed, in October last year he was sick, saying that he wanted to go back to his ancestral hometown to see, even if he died, he was at ease, so we secretly took a boat back to Beijing.
When the ship sailed through Texas, my adoptive father woke up, and he told me that there was a dignitary on the ship, and asked me to give the boatman some of the silver I had left, and let him out, and if I could cling to the dignitary, even if he died, someone would take care of me for the rest of my life.
My adoptive father had a high fever for many days, and people sometimes talked nonsense, and I heard the boatman say that there was a doctor on board, and I thought that maybe I could save my life, so I made the silver carry him up, and then Zhou Gongzi, that is, Uncle Zhongyuan, rescued us.
However, Zhou Gongzi and Shizi did not take advantage of the danger, not only saved the life of the adoptive father, but also sent us some coils, and then we returned to the capital, the ancestral house that the adoptive father said was long gone, and it became a barren.
Although my adoptive father's health is better, but I can't play the piano anymore, and then I put it on the Xiaoxiang Pavilion in order to make money, at this time Ning Wangfu sent someone to choose people, and wanted to enter the palace to perform, and I was selected.
The performance was very successful, and then I was rewarded by King Ning's mansion, and my adoptive father disappeared immediately, I don't know what happened, but that night my room was replaced with incense, and when I woke up, my hands and feet were tied in the sedan chair, and I broke free and escaped.
But when I returned to the capital in disguise, I found that my adoptive father was tied up and hung high outside the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, and the posture was about to kill people, so I had no choice but to tie my hands and arrest him, a person who raised me was not very good to me, but I could live to be eighteen years old, and I couldn't ignore him.
After that, the people in Xiaoxiang Hall said that my adoptive father lost all the money on his body in the gamble, owed a lot of silver, and then sold me, I had no choice but to sign the note, and let the adoptive father put down, but the adoptive father looked at me and jumped directly from the stairs to die.
I don't know what he went through, and he didn't explain a word, the person died, and then I think you will know, Miss Su Wu saw me, and then called Zhou Gongzi and them, and reported to the official and gave the old bustard silver to help me redeem myself.
After that, I went to Beishan, used Bai Qingyun's name, and started my life again. ”
Speaking of this, Bai Qingyun stopped, it seemed that he was a little tired from a long paragraph, raised his head and gasped slightly, Liu Fudong was not in a hurry, and looked at Bai Qingyun with raised eyebrows.
"You said you didn't know what your adoptive father did?"
Bai Qingyun nodded, raised his eyes and stared at Liu Fudong's eyes.
"I don't know, at least I don't know when he's alive."
Liu Fudong smiled, this smile was very eerie, his whole face was distorted, the scars on his cheeks were squeezed out of shape, Bai Qingyun didn't seem to see it, he still stared at him indifferently.
"Good, good! Tell me, then, how did you know that your adoptive father was related to the Golden Crow Sect? ”
Bai Qingyun leaned back, this chair is very big, after his hands are bound, he can't do it if he wants to lean back, people can only be fixed in one position, Bai Qingyun didn't care, and continued.
"Seven days before the Beishan bombing, I was resting that night, and suddenly I felt a dark shadow flashing in front of the window, so I quickly got up and turned on the lamp, opened the door and looked at nothing.
When I returned to my room, a man in black was standing in my room, and with a shake of his hand, my whole body was sucked up, and the drug I took out of my hand also fell into the hands of that man, who was wearing a mask, a mask of evil spirits, and it was extremely terrifying.
Although I couldn't see his face clearly, I knew that he was looking at me, and it took me some time to loosen my neck, and I was already suffocating and about to faint, but the man just held up my bottle of the drug and looked at it for a long time, and then said something thoughtlessly.
is worthy of being Wu Laoqi's apprentice, and the means of saving his life are the same, I don't know how many people have folded on this over the years, what about Wu Laoqi?
I knew at the time that the person he was looking for was my adoptive father, I was very confused at the time, I always felt that the death of my adoptive father was unusual, it seemed to have offended some big family, it was directly the kind of death, this person knew his adoptive father, but he didn't know that he was dead, which made me very confused.
I said, I don't know who you're talking about. He laughed in a loud voice, not at all concealing it, I thought that the people in my yard were probably going to be poisoned.
Then he said, don't pretend to be confused, where is your adoptive father? I said dead, I was forced to die in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion in the capital, he was stunned, he didn't expect this result at all, and pinched my neck again and said.
Who did it? I said I didn't know, he didn't believe it, and when he saw that I was about to suffocate, he let go of his hand, and he continued: Regardless of whether Wu Laoqi is here or not, I am a member of the Golden Crow Sect, so I was asked to do things according to their instructions, and I was fed a pill.
I didn't ask what the Golden Crow Sect was, I knew it must not be a proper place, and although my adoptive father didn't say it, I could guess a little.
Although my adoptive father took me to sing music and sell art to earn a living, we have never been beaten or suffered, let alone lack of food and clothing, which is still very different from ordinary artists, although I don't understand, but I know it's different.
Then the man said, "My adoptive father is a fugitive from the Golden Crow Sect, and he is guilty of a great sin, and although he is dead, I must do what I should do, after all, I am also a child raised by the Golden Crow Sect."
I don't admit it, I said that I would arrange to go to my adoptive father, he is dead and everything is gone, you come and say that I don't recognize this, if you think I can control it, then kill me now, so as not to make everyone work.
The man was so angry that he pinched my neck and didn't let go, I almost fainted and didn't beg for mercy, and finally the man let go, he said that he gave me a medicine to control my mind, and if I didn't take the antidote for three months, I crawled like an ant, and finally died of heartache.
Then he said let me think about the consequences, and then I would be told what to do, if I didn't do it, there would be no antidote, two days before the bombing, I received a note, let me cause panic during the performance, let the audience quickly evacuate and cause an accident.
I didn't listen to him, the note was torn directly, I thought about it for a while and didn't look for Childe, after all, this is not a good thing, and then Beishan had an accident, Childe has been busy taking care of the injured, and then went to Tongzhou, I never saw anyone again, as for that person, he never appeared again. ”
Speaking of this, Bai Qingyun stopped, Liu Fudong walked up to Bai Qingyun, raised his hand and clapped his hands twice, and in a moment there were two people in front of the cell door, and Liu Fudong directly ordered:
"Please come in and treat the white girl!"
Liu Fudong took two steps back and sat directly on the chair with his legs raised.
The boy turned around and helped an old man over for a moment, this Hu Bo was full of silver hair, no beard, and his teeth seemed to have fallen out, and he looked not to say that he was almost 100 years old, but also more than 80 years old.
He staggered to the front, raised his hand and rolled up his sleeves, smiled at Liu Fudong, and said with his toothless gums:
"What does Liu Qianhu want our family to think?"
Liu Fudong pointed at Bai Qingyun and said:
"This girl, it is said that she was drugged, she doesn't take the antidote every three months, it's like an ant eating bones, she has been taking the medicine for two months, and she hasn't taken the antidote in the middle, can you help me see if I really took such a drug? Also, why didn't she have seizures? ”
The old eunuch named Hu Bo nodded, turned around and walked in front of Bai Qingyun, just raised his hand and didn't do anything, a burst of medicinal fragrance wafted in, the smell was a hint of familiarity, and Bai Qingyun immediately raised his eyes.
Hu Bo didn't have any mood swings, seeing Bai Qingyun looking at him, he was still slow, found a silver needle, pinched Bai Qingyun's finger, and quickly stabbed a needle.
Blood beads suddenly appeared on his fingertips, Hu Bo pinched Bai Qingyun's fingers, squeezed hard, and smeared four dishes on the plate, only then did he let go of Bai Qingyun's hand, and then raised his nose towards Bai Qingyun, tilted his head slightly and seemed to say to himself.
"Why does this girl smell familiar?"
Then, as if nothing had happened, he took out a small box from his sleeve, and then used the silver needle just now to poke up the medicinal powder in different compartments and sprinkle them on the plate.
In a moment, the powder on three plates changed color, and some of the places where the powder was sprinkled turned black, some turned blue, and some turned pale pink, and then the room emitted a fishy smell, and the last one was even bubbling.
Liu Fudong was not calm, and stood up directly, such a situation seemed to be very rare, and rushed to the front of that Hubo.
"Really poisoned?"
Hu Bo laughed, "Not to mention, the means used are quite superior, this is the Gu Heart Pill, to put it bluntly, it is a worm raised by medicinal powder, this worm has settled in the human body, it must be given medicine to sleep, otherwise it will get up and make trouble." ”
"What are the other two, and why are they so weirdly colored?"
Hu Bo's eyes looked at Bai Qingyun and looked up and down carefully.
"This second poison pill is a bit like me, but I haven't seen this girl in front of me, this is a way to save her life, she has been in the body since she was a child, but who do you know, how can you get this from a girl's family?"
Bai Qingyun squinted his eyes slightly, and instantly understood, it seemed that it was the poison-repelling pill given to him by his adoptive father since he was a child, although he did not explain it, this love was really touching, and the corners of Bai Qingyun's eyes were a little moist.
Liu Fudong looked at it, hurried closer, and whispered two words in Hu Bo's ear, Hu Bo raised his eyes in a trance, and then nodded and continued:
"No wonder, it turns out that it is such a relationship, and it can be regarded as fate, but this third one seems to be what kind of medicine you have taken in the past year and a half, and there are also ingredients in it to repel poison, which is not worse than the previous poison-repelling pill, but I can't see what kind of medicine it is."
Liu Fudong bowed to Uncle Hu, "Then thank you Uncle Hu." ”
The old man waved his hand and walked away without stopping.
Seeing that Bai Qingyun had no doubts, Liu Fudong stepped closer.
"I believe that you have eaten poison, presumably the second one is the poison pill planted by Wu Laoqi for you, and the last one is from Zhou Heng and Uncle Zhou.
Okay, just put it down, but it seems a bit far-fetched for you to just explain to me that you didn't do it, after all, no one can confirm whether you are telling the truth or not.
I would like to know what the person looking for you looks like, with your sense of smell and hearing, how can you describe it to me if you can at least hear or smell it again? ”
Bai Qingyun frowned slightly, how do you say this?
After hesitating for a moment, Liu Fudong raised his head and was not in a hurry at all, at this time the oil lamp in the cell had been lit, and it seemed that the wick was burning unsteadily, making a crackling sound, and the firelight flickered a few times.
Bai Qingyun closed her eyes slightly, raised her chin and tried to remember the situation that day, and stood up suddenly, but the shackles on her hands and the chains on her feet restricted her movements.
glanced at Liu Fudong, saw Liu Fudong nodded, and then removed the shackles on his hands, Bai Qingyun still closed his eyes, just moved his wrist, stood up and walked straight in front of Liu Fudong.
The distance between the two was very close, just two fists apart, and Bai Qingyun instantly opened his eyes.
"The man is half a head shorter than you, half a head taller than me, thinner than you, but he has a lot of strength in his hands, and he has calluses on the tip of his right middle finger.
The voice was deliberately disguised, but I should be much older than his voice, I estimate that around fifty years old, his heels do not touch the ground when he changes his body, and his movements are extremely fast, I have seen the light skills of Miss Su Wu and Xiao Bo, different movements.
Also, this person is wearing a hood, which looks very wide, but I found that he is supposed to hide his hair, this person is either gray hair, or his hair is defected, because the hood is fastened with a rope, but the bun is not visible.
As for the taste, I don't know if it's an illusion, I smelled the aroma of pine and cypress, and the ink fragrance, which is a very special ink fragrance, I remember when Childe wrote the peach blossom fan, I helped grind it, and the taste was very similar, but this one seems to have the fragrance of pine and cypress. ”
Listening to Bai Qingyun's words, Liu Fudong was still very surprised, after all, he originally wanted to bring Bai Qingyun over to torture his words and deeds, although his godfather said that he should not hurt his life, but all kinds of punishments must be carried out again.
But now it seems that Bai Qingyun is not lying, after all, the Gu Heart Pill on her body is not something that everyone can get, this thing originated in the magic of Miao Village, and there are so many people in the Golden Crow Sect who understand this.
Of course, the Hu Bo who left just now used to be a witch doctor of the Golden Crow Sect, but he was persuaded by the chief eunuch at that time to stay here.
Could it be that another person who knows the art of witchcraft is still alive?
