Chapter Fifty-Seven: The Moon is Dark and the Wind is High and the Night of Murder

In the south of the Yangtze River in September, there is a drizzle, and the petals are almost red.

The scenery of Jinling City is still the same, and the literati are tirelessly slandering the incompetence of some courtiers, discussing how many cities Jiannu broke through this time, how much grain was robbed, and how many people were taken away.

In the end, I didn't remember to scold, "Bandits, shameful!" ”

can be scolded and scolded, the literati in Jiangnan do not have much common hatred and hatred, let alone much sympathy, as if the people who were killed are not Han, and a few words of discussion are just a whim, and it has nothing to do with them.

Coming to Jinling for the third time, Li Chuan had a new understanding of the charm of the largest city in the south of the Yangtze River.

It is not for nothing that outsiders describe Jiangnan as a paradise.

The prosperity and comfort of Jinling make people linger, and it is no wonder that those outsiders imagined Jiangnan as a paradise after hearing some rumors, and if it were not for the turmoil in the world, Li Chuan would also be willing to retire in Jinling.

The mountains and rivers here are clear, and there is no pollution, compared to the steel city hundreds of years later, it is indeed no different from heaven.

Meixianglou is a flower building on the edge of the Qinhuai River, and its reputation in Jinling is not small.

As the sky grew darker, the number of guests grew.

However, most of the benefactors who come to Meixianglou are polite and talkative literati or magnates, so the girls of Meixianglou do not need to open the windows to entertain people and attract guests, so they can't see anything from the outside.

Diagonally opposite Meixiang Building, there is also a flower building, called Jinfeng Building.

In a side room on the adjacent street, Li Chuan stood by the window, looking at the flow of people on the street.

"Childe, the slave family will have a drink with you!"

Behind him, a little girl of twelve or thirteen years old walked over with a flattering look on her face.

If you come to Qinglou but don't call yourself a girl, once something happens, you will inevitably become the object of suspicion.

Li Chuan was not hypocritical, so he casually asked the bustard's mother to arrange a girl to come over.

But what I didn't expect was that the person who arranged it turned out to be twelve or thirteen years old, and I don't know if I started to grow hair. However, the little girl has clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, although she has only begun to develop, but she already has the prototype of a beautiful embryo.

"What's your name?"

Li Chuan casually took the wine glass, looked at the little girl and asked.

He wasn't interested in such a young girl, but it was okay to talk.

The little girl said in a crisp voice: "The slave family is called Kou Mei." ”

"Kou Mei?"

Li Chuan was stunned, recently he bought a lot of books about Daming from Taobao, and read a lot, and the name Kou Mei is not unfamiliar, so I don't know if this Kou Mei is the other Kou Mei.

"Exactly!"

The little girl was curious: "Has Childe heard the name of the slave family?" ”

"Heard!"

Li Chuan nodded, and looked at her carefully, twelve or thirteen years old, bright and sunny, revealing the innocence that a girl should have, and having a unique temperament, but in the depths of her eyes, there was a humility and flattery unique to a dusty woman.

The age is the same, so I don't know if it is the Kou Baimen who will be passed down to future generations.

Li Chuan asked, "Is there anyone named Kou Mei in Qinhuaihe?" ”

The little girl thought for a long time, shook her head and said, "Qin Huaihe has no one with the same name as the slave family. ”

Li Chuan nodded, there is no one with the same name, most of them are not far from ten, think about the final fate of this little girl, she was born in a family of prostitutes for generations, and finally married a prince, even if she is a concubine, it is better than picking up guests in the Qinglou.

But that Guogong was an eggless goods, and he was almost sold by the eldest woman.

"Would you like to redeem yourself?"

Li Chuan did everything from his heart, and he felt a little sympathy for this girl, so he wanted to help her.

"Does Childe want to redeem himself for the slave family?"

The little girl was stunned, a little incredulous.

Li Chuan nodded: "As long as you are willing, I will redeem your life." ”

The little girl was happy but unhappy, and she didn't say anything for a long time.

Li Chuan is not reluctant, at the age of a little girl, she has not yet experienced the bitterness of mixing with the dust, until she washes the dust and leads, and when Fanghua is no more, most of them will regret today's hesitation, but since she has made a choice, she has to pay for her ignorance.

Time passed quietly.

The little girl kept her mother's teachings in mind and tried her best to please Li Chuan.

However, Li Chuan has something in his heart, and his mind is not on seeking pleasure at all.

It was late at night, and there was finally a knock on the door outside.

Li Chuan's spirits perked up, and he said in a deep voice: "Come in!" ”

Liu Sanmao pushed the door and walked in, "Young master, it's time to go." ”

Li Chuan nodded, got up, and was about to go out, but he paused again, took out a silver ticket from his arms, put it on the table, glanced at the little girl, and then left Jinfeng Tower without looking back.

The little girl waited for him to go out, and then she stepped forward to pick up the silver ticket and look at it.

At this glance, my eyes immediately widened.

Li Chuan quickly walked out of Long Street and came to a dense forest on the north side of Long Street.

It is dark, and it is more than 400 meters from the main road.

"Act as planned!"

Li Chuan commanded while adjusting to the darkness.

"Yes, young master!"

Zhao Tiezhu, Huang Tianxiang, and Liu Sanmao responded and immediately rushed into the darkness.

Li Chuan took out the AWP sniper rifle he bought from the virtual space, set the gun on the ground, opened the optical scope, and constantly adjusted the bearing. The distance of more than 400 meters is still within the effective killing distance of the sniper rifle.

By this time, it was past the early hours of the morning, and cars and horses kept coming out of the long street and driving into the darkness.

Li Chuan waited for about ten minutes, and a carriage drove out of the long street and slowly drove into sight.

Around the carriage, seven or eight guards rode to protect them, and they yawned listlessly.

Suddenly, the horse pulling the cart seemed to have stepped on a sharp thorn, and with a long neigh, he jumped up on the spot, and it was useless to let the coachman pull the reins and shout and whip, and jumped on the spot with all his might, and overturned the carriage with a point.

"Damn, the sidecar can't be rushed, what do you want."

An angry roar soon sounded in the carriage, and the coachman's face turned white in an instant.

Several of the guards rolled off their horses and surrounded them to restrain the horses that were pulling the carts, but they were almost kicked by the horses.

When the curtain was lifted, a oily and powder-faced boy jumped out of the carriage in embarrassment, his face full of anger.

"Dog stuff, it's all a bunch of garbage."

Brother Childe scolded angrily, looking for whips everywhere and wanted to whip people.

The guards were submissive, secretly crying out in their hearts that they were unlucky, and hated the horses pulling the carts to death.

If you don't pull the car well, you will be scolded.

In the dense forest, Li Chuan's mood was calm, and after Xu Xiaowen jumped out of the carriage, he adjusted his position, aimed his red heart at Xu Xiaowen's head, and after Xu Xiaowen stopped moving, he decisively pulled the trigger.

Laugh at!

With the addition of a muffler, the sniper rifle is not very loud.

It's a bit like a stuffy fart, and you can't hear it if you don't pay attention.

On the long street, Xu Xiaowen's scolding stopped abruptly.

The guards all drooped their heads, and the coachman had already jumped out of the carriage and stood to the side with his hands tied, not daring to raise his head. Everyone knows the young master's temperament very well, it is best to shrink his head when scolding, as long as he dissipates his anger, this fire will pass.

But after waiting for a few seconds, the young master didn't scold.

The guards and coachmen were a little strange, but they didn't dare to peek.

It wasn't until the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground sounded that the guards and coachmen subconsciously glanced at it.

At this glance, the guards and coachmen were immediately frightened.

"Young Master!"

The guards reacted first, and the wolf howled and immediately fought over.

……

In the woods, after Li Chuan saw Xu Xiaowen's head burst, he put away his sniper rifle and got up and walked to the northwest corner.

Out of the woods in the dark, Zhao Tiezhu, Huang Tianxiang, and Liu Sanmao were already waiting aside.

"Let's go!"

Li Chuan greeted and quickly escaped into the night with his family.
