126, hidden weapon

The Huo family's cemetery stood in Qingshui Town, Guo Zheng's carriage was extremely stable, and the carriage was not very shabby.

After walking for a while, the scenery in front of me gradually became familiar.

There are many people coming and going on the road, and although Qingshui Town is only a town, it is still very prosperous.

On the road, you can see many children of officials in brocade clothes and embroidered clothes, and the pedestrians on the street are also leisurely and easy-going, which is a rare sight.

There is no time to be quiet, but someone is carrying the weight for you.

The only thing Xu Han could think of was this sentence, the soldiers guarded the country, and the horse leather shrouded the body to resist the invading barbarians.

Passing through the busiest street in the town, Xu Han knocked on the carriage and motioned for Guo Zheng to drive the carriage aside first, she wanted to go down and have a look.

Guo Zheng found a teahouse that looked good and stopped.

Xu Han sat on the side of the road, ordered a pot of tea, and sat down at random.

After Guo Zheng settled the carriage, he stood beside Xu Han and whispered,

"Lord Wang, why do your subordinates feel like someone is staring at us."

Xu Han paused, poured the tea, motioned for Guo Zheng to sit down, and then took a sip of the teacup, but was actually observing the surroundings.

There are both men and women in the store, and they are all dressed up as ordinary people, sitting in twos and threes, talking and laughing, and no one is paying attention to them.

People on the street came and went, and it was even more leisurely, and no one looked at her at all.

However, it's not just Guo Zheng who feels this way, even Xu Han, since she left the city, has always felt that there is a tail behind her, otherwise she won't let Guo Zheng stop.

She glanced at Guo Zheng,

"Mind you, in broad daylight, no one will make trouble easily."

Guo Zheng nodded, lowered his head and drank tea slowly.

Xu Han took out a folding fan and shook it slowly, like a traveling son.

On the other side, Guo Zheng twitched the corners of his mouth, in the winter, when traveling, everyone who is shaking a fan is definitely a thing that only people who have nothing to do after eating are full.

Xu Han only had one foot left to rest on a bench, across the street, with a rouge shop on the left and a gambling house on the right.

The street is lined with vendors.

This is where the ancestors of the Huo family lived, and the Huo family started here, and she couldn't help but think of what Xiao Xiao said about the Qinlou killer Yunfeng.

Since I saw it once in the Huo family's abandoned mansion, I haven't seen it again.

Xiao Wei also said that he was like the seventh uncle, Xu Han later recalled it many times in his mind, and did not agree with Xiao Wei's statement.

If it's the seventh uncle, why didn't you come to her for three years?

But if it's not Uncle Seven, then how can you explain his appearance in the Huo family's abandoned mansion.

Xu Han took the tea and didn't drink it, just stared at the street scene through the tea gas, thinking about the killer Yunfeng.

"Open!"

At this time, there was a shout from the gambling house opposite, followed by a tidal wave of shouting.

Xu Han put down the teacup, raised his eyes, and saw a small gambling house, full of people.

The gamblers stood and sat down, and surrounded the inside tightly.

And a table by the window is even more crowded with onlookers.

A man in a mask, leaning in front of a table, facing the street, under the mask, thin lips slightly raised, elbows on his cheeks, left leg bent on the bar, looking at the people sitting on the left and right.

It seems that this masked man is the dealer, and there are already many broken silver and copper coins in front of him.

The small gambling house focuses on pleasure, and the visitors are all the children of the local squires, or the occasional guests passing by for recreation, and there are very few large silver tickets.

In the past, she, her brother, and Uncle Seven had also come to such a gambling house, although they were not directly involved in gambling, but they had always seen it.

Xu Han's eyes originally swept over casually because of the shouting, but when her eyes slid over the man's mask, she suddenly looked at it again.

At this look, she immediately held her breath, her back stiffened.

This person, although she didn't see his face, had a lazy and casual breath all over his body, he was dressed exquisitely, but the fabric was comfortable, his long hair hung down at the back of his head, and he was casually tied with a ribbon.

This casual look reminded her of a person, her seventh uncle!

And if there is no one standing among the gamblers on his side, he inexplicably has the momentum of the head of the dragon.

Xu Han's heart froze.

In fact, this masked man is not only like Uncle Seven, but also the killer Yun Feng she has been figuring out just now!

She didn't believe that the seventh uncle of the scenery and the moon would become a killer, but she believed that the seventh uncle of the scenery and the moon would appear in the gambling house!

No one knows that the seventh uncle, who looks like a beautiful Jiyue, is actually the same as Xu Xiuyan, with a kind face, and when he says yes, he doesn't know what bullshit he thinks in his stomach.

Uncle Seven and Xu Xiuyan have also become good friends because of this, and people of the same kind can always sympathize with each other.

She looked left and right, took a sip of cold tea, and relaxed.

Maybe it's just that she's overthinking!

The body of the seventh uncle was collected by her, brought back to the capital, and then buried in the cemetery of Luming Mountain on the edge of Qingshui Town.

She shook her head, pinched the teacup in her hand, and looked across the street, and cheers erupted in the gambling hall again, thinking that the masked man had won again, and the corners of his lips under the mask were raised.

This person, won't it be Uncle Seven, and the killer will also come to the gambling house to play for money?

Is the killer down? The dashing, floating heroes, and heroes who rob the rich and help the poor in the book, aren't they actually looking for silver for themselves?

Could it be that heroes eat mountain wind and drink dew?

Xu Han thought about it and felt that he was thinking too widely, but Yun Feng's appearance was too strange, which would make the mystery in Xu Han's heart bigger and bigger.

Is it a coincidence that Yun Feng appeared here? Or is it deliberate? The strange feeling of being stalked from before came back to life.

The person who followed her was Yun Feng?

Thinking of this, the curiosity in her heart was a little irrepressible.

If Yunfeng is really the seventh uncle, no matter why he is a killer, she doesn't care.

She only cares, in this world, in addition to Mi'er, there is one more person in the Huo family to live, and it feels good like that!

It's just that although the man opposite doesn't look young, he is not the age that the seventh uncle should be.

She pinched a plum in her hand, spun around a few times, and then raised her eyes to look at the masked man across the street, her brow furrowed.

Regardless, the identity of this person is still suspicious.

What she could be sure of was that although he was a killer, he had no obvious hostility towards her.

Is she going to go up and ask about the stalking?

The plum stopped at the edge of her mouth, her brow not moving.

The idea is a bit risky.

Not only was Xu Han pinching the plum a little absent-mindedly, but the masked man on the opposite side, the killer Yun Feng, was also absent-minded.

He played with the dice in his hand, looked at the gambling table on the side casually, saw that someone was throwing in front of him, his eyes narrowed slightly, threw the dice in his hand, put the money in front of him, put it in a bag, and sneered,

"It's all out of thousands, there's nothing fun, I'm gone."

His voice was very loud, and there was a lot of commotion in the gambling house, and a few steps away, he couldn't hear the sound of others talking, but instead, Yun Feng's words reached the ears of everyone in the gambling house, including the people in the gambling house.

Suddenly, the stewards, thugs and others in the gambling house jumped up one after another, surging towards Yunfeng,

"Bastard, who do you say is a thousand?"

Yun Feng pinned the money bag to his waist, pushed back the green silk that fell on his shoulder, hooked his lips, and looked around the gambling house, "Of course it's you." “

I saw that he suddenly rushed forward, and ran to the gambling table where he had just thrown money, and with a flip of his palm, a few copper coins appeared in his palm.

"Four here are yours, and two here are gamblers, do you want to dissolve them in front of everyone and test them? Is there anything mixed in there? ”

The stewards surrounding Yun Feng, the thugs' eyes were like copper bells, and they seemed to be choked by the neck, and only let out a grunt of unknown meaning.

There was the gambler who lost a lot, glaring at the stewards and thugs, "You really got a ghost in the money?" Are you out of the thousands? ”

The steward is afraid of Yunfeng because he doesn't look like he can be messed with, but these gamblers are not afraid of being in charge, not to mention, being stirred up like this, can this gambling house be opened twice, and suddenly said angrily,

"It's funny, why do you have the face to ask? How many people come here with clean hands and feet? ”

The gamblers who lost miserably listened to it, as if they were stunned, and their eyes were red, like evil ghosts, and they pounced on the stewards and thugs.

"You cheaters, you are all cheating, return my property, return my hard-earned money......"

Everyone rushed up to press the steward to the ground and beat him, but where was the steward willing, so a group of people were entangled in one place, and suddenly the whole gambling house was in chaos.

Soon, the officials of the yamen came to maintain order with burning sticks and pulled away those who were fighting together.

Everyone is described as embarrassed, with either black-eyed chickens on their faces, or their hair is twisted into messy grass nests, and some of their clothes are torn, revealing their underwear.

Xu Han stood in the crowd, looking at Yun Feng, as if he was a bystander, watching the farce happen, as if this group of fights was not caused by him.

The more Xu Han looked, the paler her face became, and she took two deep breaths before calming down a little.

Guo Zheng saw Xu Han's face pale and his eyes were stunned on the side, thinking that she saw those people who were beating and felt uncomfortable, so he said,

"Lord Wang, do you want to go down and find you a private room?"

Xu Han was like a puppet, stiffly tilted his head to look at Guo Zheng, and shook his head.

On the other side, the officials had already separated the people who were beating them, and one of the leaders said loudly,

"Xinglin Gambling House violates the law and discipline, and does many injustices, and if there is an order from above, it can be sealed, and after the illegal matters are sorted out, it will be interrogated."

The steward was stupid, and after seeing the quick speech, the officials behind him went to copy the gambling house with vigorous steps, and immediately stepped forward in a panic.

"Oh, Zhao Zhutou, you can't be like this, we have a friendship, and the person above you is ......"

The gambling house can be opened, the three classes of officials, and the officials of the government have all given gifts, and there is no shortage of each of them every year.

Zhao Zhutou took a sip, "Phew, get out, who has a relationship with you as a gambling house that pits people, don't talk nonsense." ”

After speaking, he strode into the gambling house and watched the officials seize the gambling house.

Seizure of gambling houses!

This is a big fat difference, copy it once, enough to eat for three years!

Speaking of which, I really have to thank you.

Just now, the boss was drinking tea in the yamen, and a child in front of the door sent a letter, which was clearly handed over to the chief, thinking that it was not a very important matter, but unexpectedly, after the boss opened the letter, his face immediately changed.

Then he ordered him to order all the officials and go to this Xinglin gambling house to check it.

Phew, a gambling house is also named Xinglin, it's really shameless, he thought it was a pharmacy!

The pharmacy is life-saving, but the gambling house is life-saving!

As early as when Yun Feng announced the mystery of the copper coin, the onlookers were talking.

"Oh my God, such a small gambling house is actually cheating and harming the hard-earned money of the people in the town, no wonder Boss Yang next door to me gambled a few times, and the house is gone, and now the family is hiding in a broken temple on the side of the mountain to live."

"Isn't Xu Xiaosi next door to me too? Hey, it's good, a girl like a flower and jade, sold to the landlord who is full of fat intestines to be a concubine in the eighteen squares. ”

"Nine out of ten bets are lost, it seems to be true......"

The onlookers on the side talked like a tide, and they were about to overwhelm the steward of the gambling house, and after watching the officials search one by one, the bags were bulging, and the smiles were toothless and blind, and then the steward and a few thugs were dragged away.

The person in charge can only let those people drag him away without the slightest struggle, where does he dare to resist, at least he will not be in danger of being dragged away, once it falls into the hands of the onlookers, he will lose half his life if he does not die.

When everyone in the gambling house was taken away and the crowd dispersed, Xu Han was still standing at the railing of the teahouse, looking at Yun Feng on the opposite side motionless.

I saw Yun Feng turn around slowly and go to an alley to the west.

Xu Han didn't think about it, and immediately jumped out of the railing and followed.

Guo Zheng shouted behind him, "Lord Wang." ”

As he spoke, he had to keep up.

"You wait here." Xu Han dropped a word, and then rushed out, following behind Yun Feng.

The alley seemed to have no end, and after walking for about half a mile, Yun Feng's footsteps in front of him suddenly slowed down, and the afterglow went back slightly, and then continued to move forward.

Xu Han was behind him, and she didn't deliberately hide her movements, she didn't follow very closely, and her actions were very straightforward, even if someone passed by, she didn't dodge, as if she was walking this road, and her name was very good.

She didn't know why she had to follow, as if she didn't feel comfortable without asking a word.

Seeing Yun Feng in front of her, she turned around and went to another alley, and she also dodged in.

As a result, the alley was empty, with only walls and no people.

Suddenly, there was a sound of wind behind her, and when it blew to the back of her head, Xu Han turned around and grabbed the hand that was about to be slapped on her shoulder.

When I turned around again, I saw the initiator in the gambling house just now, standing in front of him like an enemy general on the battlefield.

"Looking for me?" Yun Feng's voice was indifferent and he asked.

Xu Han let go of his hand that was being pinched by himself, calmly picked up the folding fan that fell when he twisted around, bowed his head very politely, and said,

"Yun Feng, right? Do you know a person named Huo Jiuxing? ”

Jiuxing is not the name of the seventh uncle, but the nickname given to him by Huo Han.

Because there are nine moles on the back of Uncle Seven, neatly arranged.

Men and women are not close, let alone uncles and nephews, this is what she saw when Uncle Seven was injured one day, and she helped to apply the injury medicine.

Suddenly, Xu Han's lips pursed tightly.

She always thought that the one on the battlefield was Uncle Seven, because of the scars on his hands, so she came to confirm his identity......

Her flash didn't notice that the eyes under Yun Feng's mask on the opposite side flickered slightly, and then said unconsciously in her mouth,

"Huo Jiuxing?"

In the alley behind him, a group of people walked by, led by a one-eyed man wearing an eye patch, who was murderous.

However, when he looked at Xu Han's picturesque noodles, he showed a touch of interest, looking at the prey repeatedly, and his eyes were sticking to Xu Han's face like flies, unscrupulous.

Xu Han was immersed in his own thoughts, but he didn't notice it, but Yun Feng, clenched his fist, and then stretched out his hand and propped it on the wall, blocking the one-eyed man's gaze.

When those people were far away, Yun Feng frowned and withdrew his hand, and turned around to leave without saying a word.

"Huo Jiuxing! You wait! ”

Xu Han came back to his senses, watched him go farther and farther, and couldn't help shouting.

Yun Feng stopped, didn't look back, just threw something back, Xu Han reached out to catch it,

"You sent someone to call those officials just now, right?"

"Although those people in the government are not good goods, but they can be regarded as eliminating harm for the people, now, I will give you a big gift!"

Xu Han didn't understand what he said, what kind of gift?

She took the thing and spread out her palm, and there was a copper coin inside, but this copper coin was different from anything she had ever seen.

She pinched the copper coin and saw that Yun Feng couldn't catch up, so she pursed her lips, turned around and walked towards the teahouse, and met Guo Zheng.

Before returning to the teahouse, the gambling house opposite has been turned into a mess, and there are officials in the inside, and there are officials standing guard outside, and idlers are not allowed to approach.

"Guo Zheng, let's go." Xu Han finally glanced at the gambling house, pinched the copper coin in his hand, and instructed Guo Zheng.

The most important thing today is to go to the Huojia Cemetery in Luming Mountain to worship.

From the town to Luming Mountain, but less than an hour away, this piece of mountain, was bought by the ancestors of the Huo family at that time, at the foot of the mountain looked up, a lush greenery, and then to the cemetery, the scene in front of him made Xu Han stunned.

There are no overgrown weeds, every tombstone is clean, and the sides of the grave are piled up with stones, and there is no mud loss at all.

From top to bottom, whether it is the ancestors or the green pines standing proudly by the grave pile erected by Xu Han himself.

In front of the grave, there are incense stalks buried.

Xu Han walked in front of every grave, without exception.

Her mind unexpectedly remembered Yun Feng in the alley, was he?

She instructed Guo Zheng to take out the incense candles and fruit tributes she brought, and just as she bent down to worship in front of the seventh uncle's grave, a star-sized star flew out of the oblique sky, and a cold light flashed under the scorching sun.

It is so swift that even a glance at it makes your throat feel tight.

Guo was placing sacrifices on the grave on the other side, and when he saw this, he screamed and rushed to this side.

Unexpectedly, in this remote cemetery, there were hidden weapons flying over.

Xu Han didn't have time to think about it, and was just about to dodge, but at the same time, she saw a small pebble hitting the hidden weapon.

In front of the tombstone, there was a snapping sound in the air, and sparks splashed around in mid-air, and the hidden weapon that shone with cold light fell to the ground.

Guo Zheng saw that Xu Han was unharmed, and immediately pounced in the direction where the hidden weapon was launched, and quickly suppressed the person who sent the hidden weapon.

Lowering his head, a person came up, and a warm and gentle voice came, "Little Wangye, are you scared?" ”

Xu Han fixed his eyes, dressed in a black robe, draped in a big hat, with warm eyebrows and eyes, it was Xu Xiuyan, who was frowning slightly, looking at her with concern.

Over there, Guo Zheng had already escorted the perpetrator over, and if Yun Feng was here, he would probably know that it was the one-eyed man wearing an eye patch.

"Little prince, this is the Huo family's cemetery, are you here to worship??"

Xu Xiuyan's words were full of doubts.
