Chapter 35: Undercurrents

After sending away the two crying maids of Su Mansion, Wang Ning went on the road alone, let alone as the escort of Su Mansion, so he did not relax on this matter. In fact, since Ji Ling'er disappeared inexplicably, his mood has never really relaxed, and it is true that for that woman, he has thrown away the grace of saving his life, and he still has the grace of a meal.

Wang Ning probably couldn't figure out how much effort that woman had put into herself, so she dragged him back from the ghost gate, and after seeing the tricks of those ghosts and ghosts in this cruel world, he didn't trust anyone from the bottom of his heart.

If it were possible, he would probably choose to accompany the woman until she got married, and then say goodbye, and even he had thought of where to go, either to the north or to the west.

On a large level, the relationship between the new dynasty and several surrounding countries is a little tense, but as a person who knows a little about fists and kicks, he still has great trust in his ability to escape.

But everything was shattered, and even because of his own past, he implicated the woman in vain.

He has never given up looking for it in recent days, even if the government has closed the case, the Ji family, which is more than ten miles away, has already sent someone to deal with the aftermath. But he didn't believe in that result.

Put away these thoughts, relying on the recent search for Ji Ling'er's whereabouts, he has a new understanding of Jiangning City, so he is not unfamiliar with the roads in the city.

Even at a time like this.

The curfew has not yet been lifted in the city, and walking alone on the deserted streets may not be as plain as he appears in other people.

Wang Ning came back to his senses and was already standing in front of a magnificent mansion. The house in front of me only looked at the same magnificent gate and knew that its scale was not small, the door had been painted, revealing the wood inside, perhaps under the exposure of the sun, revealing a little old, the plaque at the door had been removed, the courtyard walls on both sides had climbed some green vines, the white-plastered courtyard wall had fallen in pieces in some places, and the cracks were full of traces of rain.

No one has lived here for a long time, since the original owner's house was beheaded because of the crime, this place is rumored to be a murderous house, even some nearby houses have moved away, now only on the opposite side of the house there is a mansion that is not weaker than its size and still inhabited, but the owner over there is probably also a little worried about the bad luck with the door of the murderous house, so the door was moved to a farther alley, at this time to look at it, the two lamps in front of the door over there emitted a faint light, like two ghostly fires burning in the dark night, swaying back and forth.

Wang Ning breathed a sigh of relief, went to the corner of the wall, entered over the wall, and landed in the courtyard. His ears have always been good, and when he listens closely, he doesn't hear any strange sounds.

As far as the eye could see, most of the doors and windows had begun to rot, and the window paper was rattling in the wind, and the wind that poured into the house through the cracks raged in the room, and there was a whirring echo.

Wang Ning went to the backyard and stood under the old locust tree in the corner of the courtyard, tilting his head and squinting.

Taking advantage of the night, Wang Ning left the Xiao family's compound in the south of the city, and soon appeared in front of an even more dilapidated courtyard.

This side is naturally not as prosperous as that side, in the hollow-shaped courtyard, half of the rooms have collapsed, and after a cursory glance, Wang Ning knows that there are no people hidden in such places. Turning around, he looked at a tall building not far away, which at first glance should be five stories high.

Over there, after a while, Wang Ning stood downstairs, looking up, feeling a little lost.

The scale of the pavilion in front of me is also not small, looking at five floors from a distance, but in fact it has six floors, which should be the highest place in such a place as the west of the city, and it is sad that it is so deserted.

Wang Ning thought about asking if he could buy it another day, and while going up the steps, the stone steps under his feet were seriously worn, which showed that it must have been crowded with people at the beginning, so it was not lively.

The high-rise building rose from the ground, Wang Ning took advantage of the strength to go up to the top of the first floor, found a window and climbed in, and when he arrived in the house, he had already made a body of dust, and stepped on the thick dust, Wang Ning's heart lifted.

He didn't know the past of a study, so he carefully pushed forward, the area of a floor is not large, after the things in it were moved, you can see it at a glance, he went up to the first floor and the first floor, and finally gave up when he reached the sixth floor, with an ugly smile on the corner of his mouth, he returned the same way, and roughly dealt with the footprints he left, went out of the building, and went to the street, a few quick steps flashed into the depths of the night, and there was no figure.

Not long after Wang Ning left, several figures appeared outside the study, and a man in black wearing a golden mask first looked at the endless night, and his eyes locked on a secluded alleyway.

"I have never believed in such a coincidence in the world, so you can catch up and see."

Someone left at the moment.

Then the golden-faced man pondered for a moment, his eyes fell on the farther Jinfeng Tower, the fist hidden in the black robe suddenly tightened, and the few people behind him lowered their heads a little lower as they listened to the sound of the creaking knuckles.

Wang Ning ran to many places in succession, naturally there was no news of Su Xiaoyan, returned to the Su family, ran to sleep, and after attracting angry questions from a group of Su family relatives, a maid named Lu'er knocked on his door.

Before dawn, when the night was the deepest, there was an extra letter in front of the door of the Su family, and the letter was quickly delivered to the old man Su, who stared at the handwriting that was not yet dry, and slapped the armrest of the pear blossom wooden chair, and under the background of the candlelight, his face was flushed with a rich flush.

Su Yuan crumpled the letter into a ball, the red blood stains soaked the ink, and the housekeeper next to Hou refreshed himself and made a gesture of obeying the instructions.

Su Yuan snorted, swallowed the blood that reached his throat, and said in a deep voice: "In this way, don't blame me for being unjust." ”

The housekeeper asked softly, "Master, how is the young lady?" ”

"Hmph, the Tiger Head Gang said that Xiaoyan is in their hands......" clenched his fists, and then said: "They asked me to prepare five thousand taels of silver, and I will redeem people tomorrow!" ”

"Sir...... So what do we do? ”

"Go and prepare the money."

"Why don't you ......," the butler asked tentatively, "why don't you go to the government to report the crime?" ”

Su Yuan snorted: "No need, I don't believe that he Jin Muyu really has that guts." ”

Listening to Su Yuan's determined tone, the housekeeper's heart tightened inexplicably, a hint of discoloration flashed in his eyes, and he hid away for a while: "Then I'll go down first." ”

Su Yuan bowed, sat back in his seat, and rubbed his eyebrows. Now that he knows Su Xiaoyan's whereabouts, he is not so worried about his daughter's safety, but in other matters, he doesn't know what to do.

It is inevitable that he will be held accountable afterwards, if something really happens to Su Xiaoyan, I am afraid that his life will not be done.

Secretly scolding in his heart, Su Yuan got up and went back to the room to deal with the wound, but there was no arrangement for Su Xiaoyan.

Wang Ning talked to Lu'er for a while, sent the little girl away, and finally fell asleep, before closing his eyes, he also smiled with satisfaction, thinking that he really had no intention of inserting willows into the shade.

The next morning, after the rooster crowed, Su Yuan came out of the house, his face was pale, and he took the ransom of five thousand taels prepared by the housekeeper and went out alone, but he didn't bring anyone.

After Wang Ning heard the news, he was also a little surprised, but he probably had other plans for this matter, and he was not interested in Su Yuan's somewhat old-fashioned uncle, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

The relatives of the Su family were busy after Su Yuan left, and they didn't know what to do.

Lu'er and Apricot are crying alternately, you sing and I appear, or you just watch each other cry. Wang Ning listened for a while and fled decisively.

The Tiger Head Gang is an old gang in Jiangning City, with a lot of power, and it is more or less involved with the government, so no one dares to provoke it.

Of course, the Tiger Head Gang also pays attention to its own image, and the bullying of men and women is still very restrained after all.

As for the gang leader, no one knows his real name, but everyone on the road calls him Jin Muyu, and recently this seems to have retreated into the background, so some people in the Tiger Head Gang are not at ease.

Jin Muyu is over forty years old, slightly chubby, and the fierceness between his eyebrows seems to have dissipated, and he looks quite kind, like an ordinary rich man.

Jin Muyu crossed the rosary in his hand and squinted.

The sandalwood in the house is overflowing, and the house is full of fragrance.

After listening to the report of his subordinates, the movement of the golden wooden fish on his hand was sluggish, and then he turned again, and said helplessly: "I have been mixed in the golden wooden fish road for so many years, and I don't want to encounter such a thing." With that, Jin Muyu stood up and walked a few steps around the house, "It seems that someone in the gang has been thinking crookedly recently." ”

Jin Muyu can have today's status, he has been working hard for so many years, and he knows who can and can't move in Jiangning City, so after hearing the report of his subordinates, his face is not easy, after all, there are some things he dare not announce to the public.

sighed in my heart, and now I only hope that things have not reached the point of no return.

While he was talking, a voice came from the courtyard outside the door, Jin Muyu walked out, and saw that the steward of his house was trying to stop a middle-aged man who was walking over.

When the steward saw him come out, he bowed down and said, "Master...... He ......"

Before he finished speaking, Jin Muyu had already waved his hand to let the steward leave and greeted him.

When the people around them saw the appearance of their boss, they knew that they couldn't mess with the people, so they stepped aside.

"Boss Jin, don't come unharmed." The person who came said kind words, and his tone was a little cold.

"Laugh, laugh."

The person who came came snorted, stopped his steps, and suddenly said: "I came here today to inquire about something, and Boss Jin gave me a letter!" ”

"Please."

"It's not a big deal...... the person who came pondered for a moment and laughed, "I heard that someone under Boss Jin invited Miss Su to tea?" After saying that, the sharp eyes were cast, and Jin Muyu secretly felt bitter, but had to answer.

"I just heard about it. Please rest assured, Jin will deal with it. ”

The visitor's eyes softened a little, and then said, "Then there is work...... You also know that if something happens, it won't be good for you and me. ”

Jin Muyu said with a smile: "The subordinates are not sensible, so you can laugh." ”

"Hey, who's not having two disobedient men."

After a few more gossip, he came and left.

Jin Muyu sent it to the door, looked at the man's sedan chair and went away, his face sank, and he said to the person behind him: "Go see Fang Heng." ”
