The man in black came and went like the wind, and it was less than ten breaths from the time he entered the room to the time he disappeared through the window. This is obviously a clever killer, and before acting, he has even observed the layout of the West Courtyard.

When Cao An entered the house, Lu Xin was already bleeding from his mouth and nose and was completely unconscious. Cao An collapsed to the ground in fright, and it took most of the day to come back to his senses and start shouting loudly everywhere. The outside of the house was soon filled with people, Liu Lezi, the housekeeper of the West Courtyard, was the first to arrive, and he was accompanied by the first-class family member of the South Courtyard, Feng Li.

After seeing Lu Xin's injury, the two of them looked a little strange. However, in front of everyone's eyes, Liu Lezi didn't say anything to Feng Li. Instead, he sent someone to find Lang Zhong for Lu Xin, tied Cao An at the same time, and searched Lu Xin's twenty-eight taels of silver from under the bed.

The mute Wu's residence was not far from Lu Xin, but he did not show up that night. As soon as the man in black left the Xu Mansion, he found that someone was following him. All the way to the bamboo forest in the south of the city, the other party did not disappear.

At this time, if you go further there is the river, the man in black obviously did not prepare the boat in advance, so he had to stop and turn around.

"What is the purpose of Your Excellency's light work, but you deliberately let me hear the flaws? If you're here to kill me, do it now. ”

The man in black has been a killer for many years, and he can be ranked among the top in the rivers and lakes for his self-proclaimed light skills. But the person behind him, no matter how he shakes it, can't get rid of it. Obviously, the other party's martial arts and internal strength are far above their own. In the face of this kind of person, if the other party has murderous intentions, he can't run away.

The mute Wu saw that he stopped and slowly walked out of the darkness. In the moonlight, he carried his left hand on his back, and his right hand formed a sword with two fingers, and carved lines of handwriting on the bamboo at his side. When the man in black saw this scene, his eyes changed suddenly, and he even became short of breath.

"What kind of person is the senior, with your martial arts. Not to mention a small Xu Mansion, even the palace can't accommodate it. ”

In just a few breaths, the man in black was already sweating all over. On the rivers and lakes, there are very few people who can carve words on the bamboo body with their fingers. Even if you can do it, you have to use internal forces. But the person in front of him writes by hand like a pen, silently, and the wind is light. This kind of martial arts attainment is no longer something he can understand.

"You just have to answer my questions, and the rest ask one more word, die!"

Although the mute Wu didn't speak, the momentum he gave people at this time was extremely terrifying. It's like a god on high, with a flick of his fingers, the head falls to the ground. The man in black didn't dare to say anything, he just nodded again and again.

"Who asked you to kill that child?"

"This ......"

The man in black frowned slightly, but he only hesitated for a second, and his face was cut by the oncoming bamboo leaves. And from beginning to end, he didn't see clearly how the other party moved. This time, the man in black was really frightened. His legs went limp, and he fell to his knees.

"Seniors spare their lives, seniors spare their lives. It was Steward Liu of the West Courtyard of Xufu, and it was he who paid ten taels of silver to buy the child's life. I'm just a guy who works for others, and I have no grievances with that kid. ”

"Ten taels of silver? Hmph, in this world, isn't a person's life as good as that ten cold copper coins? ”

The mute Wu sighed in his heart, staring at the man in black not far away. The aura emanating from him was murderous. But after a long time, he didn't move, until the man in black raised his head again, and the mute Wu had disappeared in place.

The night is thick, and the sound of rustling bamboo leaves is in my ears. The black-clothed man's legs trembled a little, and after he got up, he saw a line of words in the place where the mute Wu had disappeared.

"Ten years ago, I swore never to kill again, and today I will spare you a dog's life. If you commit it again, there is no hiding place for death. ”

"This man's fingers are stronger than the edge of the sword, and the word ...... There is kendo in calligraphy, ten years ago...... Could it be him? If it's really that person, I'm afraid that today's cultivation has broken through the realm! ”

The man in black stood in the bamboo forest and muttered to himself, but he didn't leave for a long time. At this time, the mute Wu had already returned to the Xu Mansion. He went to see Lu Xin's injuries for the first time, and there were no traces of blunt injuries, but he suffered serious internal injuries. This made the mute Wu surprised and delighted, assassins usually kill people with a dagger blow, he originally thought that Lu Xin would die, but now he sees that there is still a rescue. Lang Zhong was still checking his pulse, and there was a large piece of brocade on the bed, which was densely written. Lu Xin once said that he wanted to learn to read and write, and the mute Wu expected it to be related to brocade, so he immediately put it away.

After Cao An was kidnapped, he disappeared. In the room, except for Lang who was diagnosing the pulse, only Feng Li was guarding with two family members. Feng Li saw that the dumb Wu put away the brocade, and secretly sneered, but he didn't go up to stop it.

"I don't know where to pick up the ghosts and gods, and I dare to wrap them around my body, I deserve to be unlucky!"

There are many weird talismans on the brocade, ordinary people will only feel unlucky when they see it, and Feng Li is naturally no exception. But the mute Wu is different, as soon as he touches the material, he understands that brocade is by no means an ordinary thing. He secretly kneaded it with his fingers, but the brocade was not damaged at all, it can be seen that Lu Xin is not dead, it must be related to the brocade wrapped around his body.

After a while, Lang Zhong got up from the head of the bed and began to write the prescription on the table. The mute Wu learned the truth from the killer, and Feng Li was Liu Lezi's person, so he had nothing to do with this matter, so he stepped forward and wrote down the contents of the prescription.

"The injury suffered by this son is caused by the internal force of the people in the rivers and lakes. Fortunately, the killer's martial arts are not high, but his heart and lungs are slightly ruptured. Just follow this recipe and take it three times a day, for as long as a month, or as little as 20 days, and you will be cured. ”

Lang Zhong is an old man in Xufu, and he has the demeanor of a doctor, so he should look at it very carefully. The mute Wu was still relieved of him, but when Lang Zhong handed the prescription to Feng Li, the mute Wu frowned slightly and snatched the prescription over.

"Hmph, dumb Wu, what are you doing, do you want to die?"

Feng Li was furious, he was one of the few first-class family members in the Xu Mansion. The fact that the other party was just a low-ranking person who cleaned the latrine and dared to snatch something in his own hands made him both angry and incredible. However, the mute Wu sat directly at the head of the bed after getting the prescription, without even looking at him.

"Well, you dumb, you must have smoked you into a stinky stone by the smell of the latrine. Master, I'll let you know now, what are the rules of the Xu Mansion. You two, give it to me. ”

Feng Li smiled fiercely, and was ready to teach the dumb Wu a lesson. But then there was a rush of footsteps outside the house. Immediately afterwards, the voice of Liu Lezi, the housekeeper of the West Courtyard, also sounded.

"Feng Li, the master has arrived, come out quickly to greet him."

"Sir? Brother Li, can this dumb person still fight? ”

"Hmph, and a fart. But I'm not afraid that he will run away, it's all in the house, and there will be opportunities in the future. ”

Feng Li snorted coldly, and immediately changed his expression, and when he turned around, the slightly chubby Xu Sanjin had already arrived at the door. This made Feng Li a little flustered, and he hurriedly bent down and knelt on the ground.

"Master, you are finally here, the villain has lived up to the trust of the master. You asked me to take Lu Xin with me, but this child bought and sold dream soul ointment behind my back. Now that I have been injured by the enemy, I have been humiliated by my Xu Mansion, and the villain is really heartbroken, and I can't wait to die in front of the master......"

Feng Li was obviously prepared, as soon as Xu Sanjin arrived, he began to cry and shout, and he burst into tears. Seeing him like this, Xu Sanjin couldn't say anything when he stood at the door for a while. The tantrum that was going to be triggered went down in an instant. Coupled with Liu Lezi blowing the wind behind him, Xu Sanjin's tightly knit brows slowly eased.

"Master, since Cao An has already recruited everything, it doesn't matter much whether this kid is tried or not. Although he was injured by thieves, he was also the first to be unruly, which can be said to be his own fault. In this world, it is the same everywhere, if you do something wrong, the heavens will punish you. You don't have to feel guilty because of his young age, it's late at night, so you'd better go back, sir. ”

"Yes, sir, how dare you work hard for a mere subordinate of Ding. With me and Steward Liu here, this matter will definitely be handled properly. ”

"Hmph, there was an assassin in the house, and he almost died, can I sleep peacefully, sir? You two don't need to say more, I'll go check on his injuries. ”

Although Liu Lezi and Feng Li wanted to stop it, Xu Sanjin did not dispel the idea of entering the house. But before he had walked a few steps, he saw the mute Wu sitting at the head of the bed. Suddenly, his expression changed suddenly, and he stopped again.

"All of you, get out."

"Sir? This house is dirty and smelly, can't you stay alone, or let the old slave and I stay with you......"

"Didn't I make my words clear? Or are you all deaf? Get out, get out of here! ”

Xu Sanjin shouted angrily, his gaze was very solemn, and he always stared at the mute Wu at the head of the bed. Liu Lezi has been in the house for many years, and he has never seen his master like this, and he was a little confused for a while. He didn't dare to disobey Xu Sanjin's order, so he had to retreat with Feng Li and the others. Afterwards, Xu Sanjin personally closed the door of the house and walked to the table and poured a glass of water.

"You haven't been out of the West Courtyard for many years, and Xu is busy with a lot of mundane affairs, so I haven't seen you for a long time."

Xu Sanjin poured water, not for himself to drink, but in front of the mute Wu. If this scene were to be seen by others, I am afraid that the jaw would drop immediately. Xu Sanjin is not only the richest man in Yuezhou, but looking at the entire Jiangnan, even the whole world, few people dare to compare with Xu Fu. But at this moment, this rich Xu Yuanwai poured water for a person who cleaned the latrine, which was incredible.

"You are the master, I am the servant, or it is better not to see. When the old man was alive, I said that I would like to live in the West Courtyard for the rest of my life to repay him for saving his life. You are the only person in the Xu Mansion who knows Pei's identity, and if you don't see me, you will be less dangerous. ”

"Alas, in a blink of an eye, more than ten years have passed. Now that the world is all in the Tang Dynasty, presumably the world will slowly settle down. You are not a mortal person like me, it is a pity not to go out to see this Tang Dynasty. ”
