Chapter 20: Threats with Lives

Shen Wuhua saw Hou Zhu Chen in the last dying moments today, and the bleak evening scene of Hou Chen filled her heart with sadness, plus she did not recover from the fatigue of the journey, so she fell ill all of a sudden.

In the back house, Niuniu sat quietly in front of her aunt's sickbed, her aunt and grandmother had just finished drinking the "medicine", and she had fallen asleep, sleeping very deeply, Niuniu called her several times and did not wake up, which made Niuniu feel a trace of worry in her heart.

For her aunt and grandmother, Niuniu's heart was also full of apologies, although she did not deceive Yang Yuanqing, but she told her aunt and grandmother a lie, on the night of the first day of returning to Beijing, she told her aunt and grandmother that she was going to visit a senior sister who married into the capital, but in fact, she went to be an assassin.

Yuan Qing has been furious about this matter, if her aunt and grandmother know the truth again, she really doesn't know how to face her, Niuniu covered her face, the huge pressure filled her heart with pain, on the one hand, her father's last words and the oath she made, on the other hand, Yuan Qing's brother has no room for resoluteness, she really doesn't know what to do?

"Dust girl!"

A maid at the entrance of the "door" called to her in a low voice, "Mr. Wang said that there is an urgent matter for you." ”

"I see!"

Niuniu stood up and walked quickly to the courtyard, only to see Wang Mo standing at the entrance of the "door" with his hands behind his back, his face "pale" heavy.

"Mr. Wang, what are you looking for me?" Niu Niu stepped forward and asked.

"You come with me, it's inconvenient to talk here, about the condition of the palace mother, the doctor wants to talk to you."

Niuniu was shocked, "My aunt's grandmother's condition, isn't it good?" ”

Wang Mo nodded, "It's a little bad." ”

He turned around and walked to the courtyard next to him, Niuniu was very worried, followed Wang Mo into the courtyard, and entered a small house, there was only one couch in the room, and on the couch sat an old man with white hair, wearing a bamboo cage medical crown, wearing a robe, and writing something with his head down?

"This is Mr. Li, who used to be the imperial doctor in the palace, has retired, and is the best doctor in the metropolitan area." Wang Mo introduced her.

Niu Niu gave a salute, "Doctor Li, how is my aunt's grandmother's condition?" ”

"She has been poisoned, and she has been poisoned by a fierce "sexual" poison called Jin Jiaojiao, and there is no "medicine" to cure, so prepare for the future! I'm sorry, but there's nothing I can do anymore and I'm leaving. ”

After the old doctor finished speaking, he stood up and walked away.

Niuniu was stunned, how could it be, how could my aunt and grandmother be poisoned? She turned to call out to the doctor, but the doctor was already walking away.

She walked forward a few steps quickly, staring at Wang Mo, her eyes full of doubt, "Mr. Wang, what's going on?" How could my aunt and grandmother get poisoned? ”

Wang Mo shook his head, tears flashed in the corners of his eyes, and he sighed: "I don't know, there is a poison prescription left by the doctor on the couch, how it is poisoned, what is the toxicity, it is written very clearly, you can see for yourself!" ”

As soon as Niuniu turned around, she saw a piece of paper on the couch, densely filled with words, she took a few steps forward and picked up the blank paper.

At this time, Wang Mo stood at the entrance of the "door", at the moment when Niuniu bent down to pick up the white paper, he quickly withdrew from the room, Niuniu felt something, turned around, saw Wang Mo withdraw in a hurry, she suddenly understood, and did not pick up the prescription, turned around and rushed towards the "door" of the room, she was light and strong, like an arrow "shooting", but still half a step late, the "door" of the room was slammed shut, Niuniu pounced on the side window again, but an iron plate fell from above the window, sealing the window tightly, the light suddenly went out, and the room became dark.

Niuniu had a self-defense dagger beside her, and she pulled out the dagger to pry the "door", but no matter how she pried it, the iron "door" did not move at all.

At this time, Wang Mo's smug laughter came from outside the "door", "Dust girl, don't pry anymore, this room is specially made, the walls and roofs are made of big bluestone, and the iron plates of the 'door' and window are as thick as one and a half inches, even if Yang Yuanqing gives you the Panying Sword, you can't split it, I know that you are strong in martial arts, so I invited you to come here to talk." ”

"Wang Mo, has my aunt and grandmother been poisoned?" Niu Niu shouted.

"How could she have been poisoned? That bullshit doctor was just an old groom in the house, you didn't see him. ”

Wang Mo's smug laughter came, "The palace mother is the pillar of the Nanhua Society's 'spirit', we don't want anything to happen to her, it's just that her mood affects her sleep, she can't sleep well these days, we just add a little soothing 'medicine' to her 'medicine', so that she can sleep sweetly, which is conducive to her physical recovery." ”

Niuniu also knew that her aunt and grandmother were important to the South China Society, and they begged her aunt to live a long life, and it was too late for them to harm her, so she let go of this matter.

"Wang Mo, then what are you doing with me?"

Wang Mo sighed outside the house and said: "Don't hide it from the dust girl, we just received the news that the imperial court already knows about the palace mother going to visit the queen master, in order to ensure the safety of the palace mother, we have to send her away overnight, and we can't stay in the Wanchun Tea House anymore, it is very dangerous here."

Niu Niu sneered, "Wan 'Chun' Tea House is the foundation of the Nanhua Society in the capital, if the imperial court knows that my aunt and grandmother are in the Wan 'Chun' Tea House, wouldn't the Nanhua Society be more dangerous?" Don't try to hide it from me. ”

"Clever! The girl is really smart. ”

Wang Mo laughed approvingly, "Okay! Then I'll tell you the truth, out of the dust girl, we want you to leave Chang'an for the time being, don't have any more contact with Yang Yuanqing, we are now in an extreme danger, the person who followed Yang Yuanqing just now came back to report, after Yang Yuanqing left the city, he immediately went to the Jin Palace, to report us, out of the dust girl, you let all of us can't sleep tonight. ”

Niuniu snorted disdainfully, "Fortunately, you locked me up, otherwise you would have been 'exposed' and trapped, who is my brother-in-law, I knew him ten years ago, he is a man's husband, and he promises me a thousand gold, and he is by no means a despicable villain like you." ”

"Good scolding! Although you keep saying that he doesn't know about the South China Society, we think that he must know, with all due respect, we all agree that as long as he takes you away, he will definitely attack us, and only by eradicating the South China Society can you really get out of the South China Society. ”

Niuniu was taken aback, she finally understood what Wang Mo meant, she took two steps back, "You.... Want to kill him? ”

Wang Mo's tone gradually revealed a threat, "It is up to you whether to kill him or not, if you cooperate with us, write a letter to her, begging him not to denounce, we can promise you not to kill him, and if you refuse to write, then I'm sorry, we will kill him tomorrow and get rid of the hidden danger." ”

Niuniu sneered: "I understand, you don't have my handwriting, otherwise you would write a fake letter to him, that's why you came to threaten me." ”

Wang Mo sighed, "Out of the dust girl, you are indeed very smart. ”

His tone suddenly changed, "Not bad! We are threatening you, his life is in your hands, and if you want him to die, then you can ignore it. ”

"Don't be delusional, I won't write anything, he will die quickly if he writes, I advise you not to mess with him, otherwise you will regret it."

"Then wait and see!"

Wang Mo's voice disappeared, and suddenly the room was filled with smoke, Niuniu bent over, covered her throat and coughed violently, and finally her body weakened and fainted on the ground.

.........

Before dawn the next day, the big "door" of the metropolis slowly opened, Yang Yuanqing immediately rode in, he was worried all night last night, lest something happen to Niuniu, but he also saw Zhang Zhongjian leave the metropolis at the last moment of closing the city's "gate", and he let go of his heart slightly.

Yang Yuanqing sped up his horse, and in a moment he ran to the "door" of Wan "Chun" Tea House, he said to his buddy, and soon a deacon ran out, and said with a smile: "Yang Gongzi is here to find the dust girl!" ”

"Yes! Is she there? Yang Yuanqing asked with a smile.

"Yes, I'm packing up my things, saying I'm moving, Young Master Yang, you come in and sit down for a while and take a sip of tea."

Yang Yuanqing knew the background of Wan Chun Tea House, how could he still drink their tea, he shook his head, "I'll be waiting for her outside, thank you for your kindness." ”

"This ..... Why don't I take you to her! The girl who came out of the dust has a lot of things, and she may not be able to hold it alone. ”

Yang Yuanqing glanced at him, then nodded, "Okay!" Please lead the way. ”

The deacon was secretly happy in his heart, turned around and went up the steps, Yang Yuanqing followed, but he didn't take two steps, but Yang Yuanqing quickly strangled his neck and dragged him down the steps, a snowy dagger against his throat, Yang Yuanqing sneered: "You are doing everything possible to coax me in, is there a Hong' door banquet inside?" ”

"Childe, there is nothing to do."

Yang Yuanqing's hand was slightly forced, the dagger stabbed into his throat, blood burst out, and he said coldly: "I kill people like hemp, kill you like a 'chicken', and give you one last chance, don't say it, I'll cut your throat." ”

The blood was already flowing all over his neck, and the deacon felt that the pain was unbearable, and he had no strength in his body, but he still said stiffly: "I have a ..... Kindness! ”

At this time, Yang Yuanqing had already seen the light of the knife in the store, and more than a dozen big men were about to rush out with knives, but they were shouted back, and he pulled the dagger, cut the deacon's throat, and kicked him away.

Yang Yuanqing turned over and got on his horse, took off the sky-breaking lance from his horse, and rushed up the steps with a vertical horse, there was no one in the store lobby, only a small "door" was open, leading directly to the backyard, and there was no figure in the small "door".

Yang Yuanqing sneered, he rode to the small "door", but did not enter the "door", the long lance poked the wall next to him, the sharp long blade pierced the wall, only to hear a scream from behind the wall, a big man with a knife fell at the entrance of the "door", the sky-breaking lance has pierced his heart, and the blood stained his red clothes.

There was an exclamation from inside the small "door", panicked footsteps sounded, and the big men hiding in the corridors on both sides of the small "door" retreated one after another, and Yang Yuanqing rushed into the small "door", and the corridors on both sides were empty.

Yang Yuanqing suddenly became angry, he knew that Niuniu must have had an accident, he retreated to the lobby, waved a pick, knocked over an oil lamp on the wall, fell on the curtain, the flames burned quickly, in a moment, the lobby was already thick smoke, Yang Yuanqing slowly withdrew from the lobby, at this moment, there was a scream of fear under the counter in the lobby, a guy hiding under the counter couldn't stand the smoke, and rushed out of the lobby, Yang Yuanqing slapped him with a lance, knocked him to the ground, and the blade was against his front "chest", and shouted: "Say!" Where's the Dust Girl? ”

The guy is not from the South China Society, he witnessed Yang Yuanqing killing people and setting fires, he was already frightened, and begged repeatedly, "Spare your life!" Spare your life! ”

"If you want to live, just say it!"

The guy was so frightened that he hurriedly said: "I don't know the specifics, but last night, two carriages left the tea house, and the carriages were tightly covered. ”

"When, before or after the closure of the Metropolitan City's gates?"

"It's been about an hour since it closed."

At this time, an arrow was "shot" out of the tea house in a parabola, "shooting" at Yang Yuanqing, there was a letter on the arrow, Yang Yuanqing caught it casually, he "pulled" out the letter inside, and there was only one sentence on the letter, "Zhang Chuchen is in Xianyang Baiyu Restaurant, and his life is not noon." ’

The murderous intent burst out in Yang Yuanqing's heart, he slowly turned his head, glanced at the smoke billowing Wan "Chun" Tea House, turned his horse's head and galloped away.
