Chapter 60: The Eve of the Killing

The sunset in the west was still exuding afterglow, but an autumn rain suddenly fell in the sky above Qingcheng. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

At this moment, on Qingcheng Road, the hawkers who were originally in a hurry to make a living, while shouting and cursing the damn ghost God, had to hurry up with carts, carts, burdens and other things, and ran to the eaves on both sides to take shelter from the rain, hoping that the rain would stop after a while.

Helplessly, the rain became more and more urgent, and there was no intention of stopping, and even the sunset in the west was finally blocked by layers of black clouds, and the sky suddenly darkened. Some wealthy families have already lit the lanterns hanging on both sides of the gate.

Seeing this, the hawkers no longer had any hope, and they all shook their heads and sighed and left in the rain, and the entire Qingcheng Road instantly became deserted, except for a few sparse figures holding umbrellas on the road.

On the bluestone pavement in front of a rouge shop on Taiping Street, Wang Liang and a teenager each held an umbrella and walked side by side in the rain.

The young man was a disciple of the Divine Sword Sect and a fellow disciple of Wang Liang, and he watched the raindrops the size of beans fall through the eaves of the umbrella, and couldn't help frowning: "Senior brother, this rain is not small, do we still want to continue to go to Wu Mansion?" ”

Wang Liang didn't stop at his feet, and replied lightly: "Wu Gongzi has already prepared wine and food to wait, and I'm afraid it's not good if I don't go." ”

But the next moment, when Wang Liang glanced at the rest of his eyes and found a fair woman slowly walking out of the rouge shop, he suddenly stopped, his eyes shot greed and joy, he turned his head to the person next to him and ordered: "This rain is indeed too heavy... Senior brother, if you go to the Wu Mansion and tell me, just say Senior brother, I will come to the door another day to apologize, and I won't go today! ”

The young man nodded and left directly, while Wang Liang walked towards the woman, stopped in front of him, and said with a smile: "Miss, don't come unharmed?" ”

The woman was also holding an umbrella, and she held the handle of the umbrella slightly upward, revealing a delicate face, but it was summer.

It turned out that after the fat powder in summer was ruined by Pear Blossom and Mo Fei, they angrily took the money they had just borrowed, and secretly ran down the mountain alone, visited this rouge shop again, and bought it in a big way. Unfortunately, the weather is not beautiful, it rained, and after waiting for a while in the summer, the rain did not stop, and the carriage could not be hired, so I asked the boss to borrow an umbrella, and planned to return to the nearby Piaoxiang Building that had been acquired by himself.

Summer looked at the man in front of him and frowned: "Who are you?" ”

Wang Liang's face stiffened, and he smiled embarrassedly: "Wang Liang of the Lower Divine Sword Sect, yesterday in the Wu Mansion, I met with Miss. ”

"Oh... Not impressed! After saying a word angrily, Summer lifted his feet and left.

"Miss, wait!" Wang Liang stepped back, and stretched out his hand to stop Summer, he smiled and made an inviting gesture: "When Wang saw Miss yesterday, he was fascinated and didn't think about tea and dinner, so I wanted to ask Miss to move to the disadvantages, and I heard Wang tell me from the bottom of my heart!" ”

"I'm sorry - Miss Ben has no interest in you!" Summer scolded impatiently, "Get out of the way!" ”

Wang Liang's face turned cold when he heard this, he stared at Xia Xia deeply, and left in a hurry in silence, disappearing into the rain in the blink of an eye.

"Cut, I feel good about myself, but in fact, I am 108,000 miles away from my family!"

After muttering a sentence to himself, Summer walked forward more than a dozen steps away in the wind and rain, but a cold cry of pain came from behind him. Summer looked back and found that it was an old man who had accidentally fallen into the rain on the street.

Summer didn't have time to think about it, turned around and ran back, hurriedly helped the old man, and asked with concern: "Old man, didn't you fall anywhere?" ”

The old man first thanked him, then rubbed his right ankle, and said with some pain: "Alas, it's useless to be old!" I just fell and I fell to the ground. After saying that, I kept 'oops' and 'oops'.

Summer couldn't bear to ask: "Your home is not far away, if it is not far, I will help you go back first." ”

The old man said: "It's not far, it's not far, it's in this back alley, it's just... It's a nuisance girl. ”

Summer smiled: "Where are the words! My cousin once said, 'Helping others is the foundation of happiness,' and I think so. Then he helped the old man and walked to the alley next to the rouge shop, and the old man kept praising the summer 'good man' and 'living bodhisattva' along the way.

At this time, the owner of the rouge shop has been standing at the door and looking, thinking that if there are no more customers, he will close the door and go home early to rest, when he sees the summer move, he sincerely sighs: "This girl is not only rich, but also kind-hearted, it is really rare." ”

After a while, Summer helped the old man to stop in front of a remote house in the depths of the alley.

"It's here, it's here." The old man took Summer's hand and said kindly: "Girl, thank you so much, come in and have a cup of hot tea before leaving." ”

"No, it's already dark, and I have to rush back."

After Xia finished speaking, she wanted to turn around, but she almost hit a man's body, she looked up, and found that it was Wang Liang who she had just seen, and a trace of uneasiness suddenly rose in her heart, and when she was about to shout loudly, Wang Liang's hand blade had fallen on her neck, and Summer fainted in front of her eyes.

Wang Liang carried Xia Xia on his shoulders and said to the old man: "I don't have any silver on me now, you can go directly to the Divine Sword Sect tomorrow to get it!" ”

The old man squinted his eyes slightly, nodded yes, and watched Wang Liang disappear into the deserted alley.

……

In the study of Wu's mansion, the county commander Wu Zhihe and the county official Zhang Gu stood in front of the window and looked at the rainy plantain outside, and they were distracted for a while.

After a while, Wu Zhihe looked back and said: "There are thousands of hectares of fertile land north of Qingcheng, is there any good way to get it?" ”

Zhang Gu said with a smile: "Among the thousands of hectares of fertile land, in addition to the fields of ordinary people, there are many cultivated by veterans of Qinglong Pass. The people's plight should be easily solved by forcing them to buy and sell at low prices, or by driving them away under pretexts. It's just about the fields of the veterans of Qinglong Pass....due to the inexplicable protection, the above method obviously doesn't work, and it can't be used, so you have to use another method. ”

Wu Zhihe's eyes lit up: "What way?" Let's hear it. ”

Zhang Gu pondered for a while, and said in a low voice: "We might as well take advantage of this autumn rain to secretly send people to the big river north of that fertile field, dig a hole, cause signs of natural bursting, and flood that area, it is best to drown those people and soldiers, even if they can't drown, they must flee with their families and evacuate......"

Rao is Wu Zhihe is vicious, and when he heard Zhang Gu's poisonous plan, he was also shocked into a cold sweat: "Don't say any nonsense that hurts heaven and reason, this move is also dangerous and abnormal, if it is found out afterwards, even if I am a relative of the emperor, it is a big crime to rob my family and exterminate my family...... It's better to be cautious and think of other ways! ”

Zhang Gu leaned over and was about to explain a little more, when he suddenly heard a faint crying sound outside the window.

Wu Zhihe frowned, called the housekeeper in, and asked, "What's the matter with that cry?" ”

The housekeeper's face was abnormal, but he hesitated for a while, but he didn't dare to speak.

Wu Zhihe said angrily: "Say! ”

Only then did the housekeeper give his hand: "Master Qiyu, the son brought back a girl from the Huamanlou, and the girl was fierce and unwilling to submit, so the son beat ......"

Wu Zhihe shook his sleeves and shouted: "This unmotivated idiot! ”

"Your Excellency!" Zhang Gu said with a smile: "The so-called color eating is also human nature!" It's just a nasty prostitute, even if she is killed, it doesn't have much to do with it. As long as the virtuous nephew is a little bit, don't take the initiative to provoke Na Mofei, let him go. ”

"That's it!" Wu Zhihe sighed: "A batch of official documents from the county government have arrived, you can deal with them with me." After speaking, he ordered the housekeeper to prepare the car, and then went to the yamen with Zhang Gu.

In the northwest corner of Wu's mansion, in a gorgeously furnished bedroom, Wu Yu held a whip in his hand, standing with a hideous gaze, and in front of him was Xiao Wei curled up on the ground.

Wu Yu opened his mouth and scolded: "Cheap thing, do you really think that after sleeping with Mo Fei's cheap seed a few times, you will become noble?" You don't open your dog's eyes to see where this son is inferior to him! Hmph, I don't want to be whipped, so I obediently kowtow to admit my mistake, take off my clothes again, and come over to serve my son, maybe I can not blame the past. ”

"Where is it better...."Xiao Wei slowly raised her head, brushed away her messy hair, and sneered: "You can't even compare to Mo Gongzi's toes!" ”

"Damn!" Wu Yu was annoyed and ashamed, raised his whip and whipped again, and Xiao Wei, who was directly pumping, lay motionless on the ground before stopping.

Wu Yu thought that he had been killed by mistake, so he walked over unexpectedly, wanting to see what was going on. He squatted down and stretched out his right hand to hold up Xiao Wei's chin to inspect, but Xiao Wei didn't know when he held a pair of scissors in his hand and stabbed straight at him. Wu Yu was shocked, and his body lay backwards, and he was lucky to avoid it.

"Dog thing!" Wu Yu jumped up, snatched the scissors from Xiao Wei's hand, grabbed her neck, and said viciously: "You can't die if you want to!" ”

Xiao Wei's face turned red, and she spit out a 'phew' with difficulty, and with a trace of blood, it sprayed on Wu Yu's face.

"Look for death!" Wu Yu wiped the blood from his face and said viciously: "Lao Tzu, this will send you back to the West!" As he spoke, he stabbed Xiao Wei in the abdomen with scissors and stabbed her a few times.

Xiao Wei let out a scream and fainted, blood gushing out of her abdomen, terrifying.

Wu Yu stood up, shouted outside, and called a few people in, Wu Yu wiped the blood on his hands while saying coldly: "Be careful, drag it to the forest behind the mansion, and feed the wild dogs!" ”

A few subordinates were resigned, carrying Xiao Wei's body, and walked to the back door.

……

Mo Fei and Xiao Li sat in a clean room, surrounded by a few empty wine jars, and they stared at the direction of the courtyard gate through the window, silent.

It turned out that they had already cleaned the boudoir for Xiao Wei, and they also asked Wanxiang to bring brand-new bedding and other things from Tingyuxuan, and waited for Xiao Wei to come back. However, the two waited for a long time, but they didn't even see a shadow.

Mo Fei was the first to break the silence, and said with some worry: "It's already dark!" ”

Xiao Li frowned: "It is estimated that the rain has delayed, wait a minute!" ”

At this time, the corners of Mo Fei's eyes kept jumping, and he stood up uneasily: "Don't wait - I'm going down the mountain to have a look!" ”

As soon as Mo Fei's words fell, a Qinglong armor warrior suddenly appeared outside the courtyard gate, Xiao Li and Mo Fei were ecstatic, and they went out together, and said in unison: "It's here!?" ”

The armor soldier shook his head and gasped: "The person sent out to follow was seriously injured, and a self-proclaimed Li San carried him to the foot of the mountain, and he is being treated in the pass at the moment, so his life is fine!" That Li San also asked me to tell my son, saying that Miss Xiao Wei was taken away by Wu Yu, so let you save it as soon as possible! ”

"What!!" After hearing this, Mo Fei and Xiao Li were like being struck by lightning.

Xiao Li hurriedly said: "Go and prepare a horse at the foot of the mountain!" ”

"Brother Xiao Li!" Mo Fei took Xiao Li's hand: "You are injured and can't get drenched in the rain, so I'll go!" ”

Xiao Li looked resolute: "No—I want to go in person!" ”

Mo Fei knew that Xiao Li had made up his mind, so he no longer dissuaded him, and immediately said: "Since you are going, then take the carriage!" I'll take some cavalry and rush over first..."

In a moment, in the pass at the foot of Qinglong Mountain, nearly a hundred cavalry and a carriage were killed, and they walked in the direction of Qingcheng, stepping on the rain.

Mo Fei, who took the lead, held a horizontal knife in his hand, and his face was full of murderous energy... Xiao Li in the carriage, his fists clenched, his nails unconsciously embedded in the flesh, and his fists were covered with bloodshots...
