The two of them were walking around the corridor on the second floor, and suddenly heard a voice from the house: "Yanxi, your luck today is not good." ”

"That little red must be lucky." Another said.

Zhuang Die was surprised: "It's Qu Yingjiao's husband, the talented Zhang Yanxi." ”

"I haven't gone to look for him yet, but I met him here," Zhuang Yuncheng said, "The 'Xiaohong' in her mouth must be his lover Yin Hong." ”

"No wonder few people can find him, he used to play cards here, and we will wait a little longer, and maybe we can meet him and his lover."

Waiting until late at night, Zhuang Yuncheng and Fluttershy heard the sound of the cards being touched inside, and it was still crisp and loud, and they didn't know how long they would play.

Seeing that there were fewer and fewer people in the mansion, Zhuang Yuncheng stopped a person delivering water and asked, "When do they have to fight?" ”

"I don't know, sometimes it's over now, sometimes it's over until the second half of the night, and there's even more time to get through the night."

"Do they come often?"

"Lately, I've been coming almost every day, and I haven't been here yet."

"Do you know all the people in there?"

"I know, sitting in the north is the down-and-out son of the bureaucrats of the old dynasty, named Zhao Shouxun; To the south is today's talent, Zhang Yanxi; To the east is a literati who writes books, named Lin Zhixiao; To the west is the elder brother of Zhang Yanxi's lover Yin Hong, named Yin Hao. ”

Zhuang Yuncheng took out a few yuan and gave it to him and said, "I'll send you this water." ”

The waiter gladly accepted.

Zhuang Yuncheng asked again: "Is Yin Hong also here?" ”

"Yes, she and the ladies and ladies were also playing cards," said the waiter, pointing to the third room, "and she was in that room." ”

Zhuang Yuncheng nodded, and the waiter left.

"I'll go in and see what this Zhang Yanxi looks like, and you can also go and see Yin Hong." Zhuang Yuncheng said.

"Okay." Fluttershy agrees.

Zhuang Yuncheng went in, put the water in the corner of the table, and the four of them only played cards and talked, ignoring other things.

Zhuang Yuncheng looked at this person from the south, he was Zhang Yanxi, thin lips, thin face, red phoenix eyes, wearing a pair of glasses, Si Swenwen, but his eyes were firm, at this time the cards in his hand were tight, he frowned, with a serious look, looking quite unkind.

"I ate it." Yin Hao shouted.

Everyone was discouraged, but Zhang Yanxi smiled and said, "Tonight's luck is really bad, it's difficult to continue." ”

"Hey, it's only a few o'clock, Yanxi, don't spoil the fun." Zhao Shouxun said, "Anyway, you are all a family, he is lucky, and you are lucky." ”

Yin Hao said again: "It's only half past ten, it's too early, Xiaohong may not leave." ”

"Okay." Zhang Yanxi said and continued to play cards with them.

The time for recreation passed quickly, and Zhuang Yuncheng served tea and water for them two or three times, and at eleven forty-five, Zhang Yanxi thought that Zhuang Yuncheng was the waiter who often sent water here, so he said: "You go over there and ask Xiaohong to see when she leaves." ”

Zhuang Yuncheng agreed, walked to the door and knocked on the door, and the inside called him in, but they still only cared about touching the cards and laughing and didn't look at them, Zhuang Yuncheng saw that Fluttershy was sitting and also touching the cards, Zhuang Yuncheng pushed her from behind, and she looked back and smiled.

Zhuang Yuncheng didn't know the other three, so he quietly asked, "Who is Yin Hong?" ”

Fluttershy's eyes gestured to a woman opposite, Zhuang Yuncheng looked, she smiled, funny, her eyes flowed briskly, frowning and contemplating from time to time with a sad expression, Zhuang Yuncheng unconsciously compared her with Qu Yingjiao, the two are not the same temperament at all, Qu Yingjiao is dignified and affectionate; Yin Hong is sometimes cheerful and jumpy, making people feel close, sometimes solemn and cold, the loneliness in her eyes is awe-inspiring, and her emotions and temperament are neurotic, making people elusive.

"Miss Yin Hong, Mr. Zhang asked when you were leaving." Zhuang Yuncheng walked beside her and asked.

Yin Hong only looked at the cards and asked, "Is he leaving?" ”

"Yes."

"What time is it?"

"It's almost twelve o'clock, Mr. Zhang's cards are unlucky tonight, and he is bored to play."

"Oh, okay, tell her to finish the round."

Zhuang Yuncheng nodded and went back to Zhang Yanxi.

After ten minutes, when the crowd dispersed, Yin Hong stopped Fluttershy and said, "Mrs. Chen probably won't be here tomorrow night, so you can come and play." ”

"Okay." Fluttershy smiles happily.

Yin Hong only walked a few steps and saw Zhang Yanxi waiting downstairs, so he went down to take his arm and went home together.

"How did you learn to play cards?" Zhuang Yuncheng asked in surprise.

"After watching them fight a few rounds, I understood that Mrs. Du was leaving, so they called me to replace her."

"You're so smart." Zhuang Yuncheng pinched Fluttershy's face.

"Hey, hey." Fluttershy pulls his hands away, and then **.

"Did you lose money?" Zhuang Yuncheng asked again.

"If you lose, they're amazing, they're people who play cards a lot."

"It's good to lose, you don't know them well, and if you want to win more, you will be alienated." Zhuang Yuncheng asked again: "What do you think of this Yin Hong?" ”

"Only now, it seems that she is not as bad as the newspapers portray."

"After all, she is a talented woman, if she can like someone who is not married and has not become famous, where will she be criticized, and she will not bear so much pressure from public opinion."

"That's right...... It's time for us to go home, though. ”

"yes, it's too late."

The two then went home, Yun Yun lived in the school, Zhuang Yuncheng was glad that if she knew that she came back so late, it would make her unhappy.

But he knows that this kind of thing will happen frequently in the future, and he can't hide it for long, and what he is doing now, she will find out sooner or later, "Can she accept me, my own brother who can even kill people to achieve his goal now?" Zhuang Yuncheng thought, "She is still the same as she was a few years ago, and I am very different......

Then, disturbed thoughts ate at his sleep, and he squinted for a moment as the East grew white.

The next day, Sasaki's room was hard pried open and his body was found. The Japanese ambassador to China was stabbed to death, and the authorities were shocked, and the Taoyuan Mansion was sealed, and a full investigation was immediately launched.

When Zhuang Yuncheng heard the news, he sighed: "I didn't expect this consequence in advance, and now I have lost contact with the Minister of Commerce and Commerce Nozawa and Zhang Yanxi and Yin Hong at the same time. ”

"Time is running out, the birthday feast of the British is three days away, and the current situation does not allow for any longer."

"We have to take Naganozawa first, and no matter what the outcome is, there will be a way before the car reaches the mountain." Zhuang Yuncheng said.

Later, Xiao Jinyu learned of Naganozawa's residence, and while Naganozawa's wife was away, Fluttershy swaggered in, and Naganozawa also came out to greet him. Since he did not find out Zhuang Die's identity, he still maintained a respect for her mystery, so he was also polite to her and entertained her with a Chinese tea ceremony.

The two sat opposite each other on a kang, and Naganozawa wanted to test her, so he said, "Miss Sakurayuki, I don't know if you heard that Mr. Sasaki was stabbed to death." ”

"Of course." Sakura Xue was sitting precariously, looking at him, and said coldly, "I killed him." ”

"Huh?" Naganozawa's jaw dropped in shock, the experience of his years of political career had made him try to remain as calm as possible, and he asked incredulously, "Is that you?" ”

"Yes." Sakurayuki took a sip of tea and slowly lowered her earth-colored teacup.

Nagano Ze's eyebrows were upside down, his face darkened, he couldn't believe that the woman in front of him had killed the son of a high-ranking official and talked to him quietly.

"He was rude to me, I can't tolerate him, and Mr. Nagano hates him, so you should thank me and be happy." Fluttershy says.

The corners of Naganozawa's mouth twitched twice, full of awe at Kawashima Sakurayuki in front of him, thinking about it, she did do something beneficial to herself, but when she stood beside her, she became a knife, and he was worried that this knife would aim the tip of the knife at him.

"I take the liberty of asking, who is Miss Sakurayuki?" Nagano Ze asked tremblingly.

"When I came to China, only one person knew who I was, and he was my direct superior. The others, those who wanted to be tempted, or who had already guessed the signs, were no longer there. ”

Nagano Ze thought to himself that she must be a high-ranking spy, but he didn't dare to say it again, he didn't dare to ask again, he knew what a spy was, it was a long sword, cold and sharp, just like the Kawashima Sakurayuki in front of him.

Suddenly, Sakura Xue heard a "clang" sound and asked, "What sound?" ”

Naganozawa got up to see that it was a Chinese long-term craftsman who was building a flower bed, and he accidentally broke the bluestone slab.

Nagano Ze was furious, he carried a wide skirt, staggered over, glared, and kicked the Chinese Changgong in the belly: "Bastard! ”

The long-term worker was caught off guard, took a few steps back and fell to the ground, clutching his stomach, and his pale face immediately turned purple.

"Bastard!" He kicked it.

"Bastard!" He kicked again.

"Damn the Shina people!"

"Damn the Shina people!"

……

The craftsmen and the rest of the long-term workers were scared away.

Sakurayuki walked up behind him and asked in a deep voice, "Mr. Nagano, what do you call him?" ”

Nagano Zetong blushed, turned around and said, "The people of Shina, Chinese are all lowly branches——。 ”

Before the words fell, he really saw the tip of a knife aimed at him, stabbing into the abdomen, his hand grabbed Sakura's arm, and shook it desperately, Sakura Xue looked at his frightened and desperate eyes, and was not shocked.

"Here you go." Sakura pulled out the dagger and handed it to the soulless Chinese long-term worker.

But he only gasped for breath and ran on the ground.

Sakurayuki broke Naganozawa's hand, he slowly squatted on the ground, and then lay down sideways, a trace of black and red blood soaking from the corner of his mouth, and his bulging eyes were always open, and they were crawling with branch-like blood.

Fluttershy looked at the escaped long-term worker and shook her head and said to herself, "Chinese are never cheap, but too cowardly." ”

While no one noticed, she climbed out the back door and went straight home.

In the afternoon, the news of Naganozawa's death spread, and two important figures, Naganozawa and Sasaki, were stabbed to death one after another, and the Japanese political forces in China were furious.
