Chapter 52: Rain Alley (1)
"Think twice?" When Cai An heard this, he sneered, "If you think about it again, I'm afraid you won't have a chance...... Sooner or later, he will become an official, and on the day he becomes an official, if it is found out that I did it, I am afraid that even my uncle will be condemned! ”
Cai Ba broke out in a cold sweat, this time Cai An will leave Yangzhou for Bianliang, maybe he won't see Su Lin for a few years, and Su Lin is far away in the sky, if he wants to assassinate him again, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult.
After Liu Rui became an official, Cai An was afraid that he would not dare to think of this idea, once something went wrong, Cai Jing and Cai Jing and his party might be condemned because of this.
After all, in his opinion, behind Su Lin, it is very likely that Liu Yan's teacher Zheng Gong is behind him.
Cai An then squinted, looked at Cai Ba, and said coldly: "Could it be ...... Eighth child, are you scared? ”
Being uncomfortable, Cai Ba took a deep breath, nodded, and said, "Follow the son's orders." ”
On July 25, the weather in Yangzhou began to officially turn cool, the day was still as hot as ever, but at night, it was necessary to cover the quilt to resist the cold.
It rained all day today, and the rain dripped like a needle prick with an icy smell, and the number of pedestrians on the street gradually decreased, and the rain continued as night fell.
The streets seemed to have been washed, and through the small pools of water, you could see your own vague black shadows, and by the faint light, it was more like a mass of evil spirits in the depths of the heart.
A figure holding an oil-paper umbrella shuttled through the rainy alley, his figure was very bloated, and his face was full of sadness.
Suddenly feeling that the stool was coming, he looked around, and when he was sure that there was no one, he began to solve it in the corner of the alley.
The sound of squirming sounded, and the fat man groaned comfortably, feeling that the rain seemed to be falling harder, so he held up the oil-paper umbrella again, and somehow, suddenly shivered when he lifted his pants.
"Huh?" The fat man looked around with a mouse's eyebrows, he always felt that there was a pair of eyes staring at him, and this feeling of being watched made him very unhappy, and at the same time a little scared.
"It can't be a ghost, right?" He was carrying a lantern in his hand, half wet by the rain, but fortunately, the light was not extinguished, and faintly, the chubby face was revealed, if Su Lin was here, he would definitely recognize that this person was Liu Rui.
After looking around again, nothing unusual happened, he sighed and continued to walk deeper into the rain alley.
His house is not far from here, Fenghailou doesn't know how tonight, there is a guest who just doesn't leave, and when it comes to this time, it's easy to leave, but it's already time.
Originally, it should be a good thing to have guests, Liu Rui borrowed the white jade tofu brain some time ago, and the business was good for a while, but later because of Su Ji, the business was not as good as before, but fortunately, Cai An gave him so much money, so he was thinking about whether to beat Fenghailou out.
He suddenly felt that it was a little wrong for him to take Cai An's money, and people like Su Lin didn't seem to be able to do it with his own little tricks.
I don't want to think about it, people like Cai An Gongzi have no idea what to do with Su Lin, let alone a small shopkeeper?
"Reader, which one can afford to provoke...... Huh! Liu Rui muttered to himself, couldn't help laughing at himself, and suddenly found that he seemed to be very stupid, and he had a chance to get married to Su Lin, and he made it impossible to make this matter because of petty profits......
"Reader, you really can't afford to mess with it."
A voice suddenly sounded, Liu Rui was startled, stopped, and saw a black shadow in the depths of the rain alley.
This black shadow looks a little thin, but Liu Rui can feel that in this black shadow's body, it seems to contain great power, and if he wants to bring himself down, it is as simple as carrying a chicken.
"You...... Excellency...... Who is it? Liu Rui's throat rolled, the sound of swallowing saliva was extremely clear, he trembled all over, and his heart was panicked, "Your Excellency...... Want...... If you want money, I have a lot of money! ”
Liu Yan shuddered and asked tentatively.
At this moment, he didn't even think about running away, but, behind the man, was his home, and he could even smell a little blood mixed with the air......
"What did you do to my lady!" His face changed, Liu Yan screamed in a terrible exclamation, and yelled, "What's wrong with my son?!" ”
The black shadow walked over slowly, as if he had no feet, at least, in Liu Yan's opinion, he seemed to be carrying something in his hand, Liu Yan trembled, and when he looked at it, two familiar and cold human heads appeared in front of him.
Shaking his head in disbelief, Liu Yan looked up at the man in black, who showed a face, it was a young man, his eyes were clear, his appearance was delicate, but he couldn't help but smile that made people shudder.
Just as he was about to speak, Liu Yan felt a cold in his neck in vain, as if something was splashing out, and he desperately covered his throat with both hands, and the hot blood flowed down vigorously.
His eyes widened, he wanted to say something but was blocked by something, and then he made a strange sound hysterically, and his whole body went limp, and he collapsed to the ground.
The man in black wrinkled his nose and put his two heads next to Liu Yan's corpse, seemingly embarrassed.
took out a handkerchief and wiped the short sword in his hand clean, and then used it to cover Liu Yan's face, and a few dodges disappeared, if it weren't for the corpse and human head on the ground, as if nothing had happened......
The lantern was soaked with water, and the kerosene inside poured out, making a "snort" sound, but instead of burning, it gradually went out, and the rain became heavier and heavier, and the blood on the ground gradually flowed lower.
……
This night, it seemed to be very peaceful, only the sound of rain was dripping outside, and Su Ji's last buddy also went home, Liu Rui looked at the drunk scholars with a wry smile in the private room, and carried them to the bed one by one.
Su'er stared blankly at the rain outside the window, she seemed to like the rain very much, especially looking at the deep appearance of the rain alley, which was easy to lead to infinite reverie.
She often stared at the depths of Rain Alley in a daze, sometimes as if she had thought of something happy, laughing and squeaking, occasionally frowning, Su Lin knew that she had thought of some ghost legend about Rain Alley.
In this regard, Surin is not surprised.
"Su'er, did you bring an umbrella?" Getting the last guy to the bed in a room, Liu Rui came out of it, kept moving his wrists, stretched his waist, twisted his neck, and muttered and complained, "This Yue Pengju is too heavy, at least one hundred and forty catties." ”
Hearing Su Lin's complaint, Su Er covered her mouth and smiled, in fact, this Yue Pengju's figure is very well-proportioned, because he is tall and tall, and one hundred and forty pounds is only a standard weight.
