Chapter 149: Night Talk in the Haunted House

"The two guests are invited, and the surviving Zhuang Wang worships."

At this time, a woman's voice sounded, and then the figure flashed, and a young woman with a full body floated in from the door, her body was light and fast, showing a good light body kung fu. I saw that the young woman was about twenty-six or seventeen years old, and her face was pale without fat powder, and her eyes were red, and she had just cried.

Lu Gaoxuan suddenly stepped forward half a step forward with a wary face, blocked Ling Muyun obliquely behind him, arched his hand towards the young woman, and said in a deep voice: "Is Madam the owner of this mansion?" My young master and I broke into the mansion to avoid the night rain, please forgive me for the disturbance. Just wait for the dawn of the day, and we will leave immediately, not daring to disturb more. ”

Seeing Lu Gaoxuan's actions in his eyes, Ling Muyun nodded secretly, although his own martial arts were still above Lu Gaoxuan, and he didn't need Lu Gaoxuan's support at all, but Lu Gaoxuan's attitude still satisfied him. In case of trouble, you know that you should protect the leader first, and your loyalty is commendable, well, it has a future and is worth cultivating.

The young woman did not respond to Lu Gaoxuan's words, but looked at Ling Muyun: "Is what this son said just now true?" ”

Ling Muyun pretended to be confused and said, "What words? ”

"It's the matter of the thief Ao Bai and the dog thief Wu Zhirong."

Ling Muyun pretended to be vigilant and glanced at the young woman of the banker: "You overheard us?" ”

"Overhearing Childe talking to this gentleman, it is indeed the slave family, and the slave family is here to make amends to Childe." The young woman of the Zhuang family gave Ling Muyun a deep salute, and then got up and said, "It's just that what Gongzi said is too important to us, and I hope Gongzi can tell us." ”

"It's not difficult for me to tell you the truth, but you have to tell me first, what is your relationship with Ao Bai and Wu Zhirong, and why do you care so much about the two of them?" As he spoke, Ling Muyun pointed his hand at the many spiritual positions enshrined in the mourning hall: "What is the matter with these spiritual positions?" ”

"Since Gongzi asked, the slave family didn't dare to hide it, all the widows of the righteous men who were killed in the Ming History case lived here are the spiritual positions of our family. Everyone here is crying blood and grieving, and waiting for an opportunity to take revenge at night, so I also ask my son to have mercy on me and tell me about this matter in detail. ”

Lu Gaoxuan said with a suspicious expression: "You said that all the widows who lived here were the widows of righteous men in the Ming history case?" How did you end up here? Don't tell me that the Qing court let you all go after killing your husband. And with your martial arts, even if you can't fight the Qing soldiers, it's always not difficult to escape with your family, how can you let the men in your family be killed? ”

At this time, Lu Gaoxuan had already sensed that there were other people in this compound, not only the young woman in front of him, but also from the fact that he could sneak outside the house and eavesdrop without him noticing, these people were obviously equipped with superior martial arts, even if they couldn't catch up with him and Ling Muyun, they were definitely not mediocre. With so many martial arts masters here, how could they be easily destroyed by officers and soldiers?

And according to Ling Muyun's statement, the people involved in the Ming Shi case were all scholars and scholars, how could their families all have good martial arts? Most ordinary literati are powerless, and their favorite is dignified and elegant, how can they find a group of women who punch and kick at every turn? No matter how you look at it, there is a weirdness in this matter.

This young woman of the Zhuang family obviously knew that if she couldn't dispel Ling Muyun and Lu Gaoxuan's suspicions, most of them would not be able to ask what they wanted to know, so she patiently explained to Lu Gaoxuan: "Don't dare to hide it, sir, when the Ming history case happened, Ao Bai sent troops to commit murder, at that time, dozens of our families didn't even have a martial arts master, and they couldn't resist at all in the face of those Qing soldiers who were like wolves and tigers, and they were all captured." Later, the thief ordered that all the men in our family, such as our father-in-law and husband, be killed, and that we weak women should be sent to Ningguta to be enslaved by the armoured people. ”

Speaking of this, the Zhuang Wang family paused, closed his eyes, and a trace of grief and pain appeared on his face, as if he thought of the tragic scene of the broken family back then. After a while, Zhuang Wang reopened his eyes, his eyes flashed with water, and then he continued: "Fortunately, I met a savior on the way to escort us, a great master took pity on our tragic experience, and out of righteous indignation, he came to the rescue, killed the Qing soldiers who escorted us, settled us here, and passed on our martial arts. Otherwise, we would have turned into a pile of dry bones in the ice and snow of Ningguta by this time. ”

"Oh?" Lu Gaoxuan looked surprised, "Which master saved you?" It's so amazing! ”

It is not difficult to save people, but it is difficult to teach a group of women who originally did not know any martial arts to become martial arts masters like now, at least Lu Gaoxuan thought to himself that he would definitely not be able to do it.

"This ...... Sir, the benefactor who taught us martial arts once told us that no matter who asked, we were not allowed to divulge her name, so ......"

Ling Muyun waved his hand: "Okay, Mrs. Zhuang, since you are embarrassed, we won't ask." ”

A trace of gratitude appeared on Zhuang Wang's face: "Thank you for your understanding, but I wonder if Gongzi can make those words clear before?" ”

"Since you are all widows of righteous people, I won't hide it from you, what I said before is true, we are from the capital this time, and there are some channels, so we still have a certain understanding of the situation in the Manchu court, and now the contradiction between the little emperor Kangxi and Ao Bai has intensified to the extreme, the little emperor is secretly preparing to do something to Ao Bai, the time for the two to separate the victory and defeat is not far away, or it won't be long before there should be news in the capital."

"Can you tell me the whereabouts of Wu Zhirong's dog thief?"

Zhuang Wang looked at Ling Muyun with an eager face, there were mainly two murderers who killed their families in the Ming History case, one was Ao Bai who sent troops to raid the house and destroy the door, and the other was Wu Zhirong who hijacked the informant. And strictly speaking, all this started from Wu Zhirong, he is the culprit, and their hatred for Wu Zhirong is still on top of worship. Now that I heard that Aobai is not far away from retribution, my hatred for Wu Zhirong is even more urgent.

It's all a bunch of poor people!

Ling Muyun sighed secretly in his heart, and couldn't bear to hang their appetite anymore, and said: "Wu Zhirong was not only able to return to officialdom because of his meritorious work in revealing the invention of the historical case, but also made steady progress all the way, and now he is the prefect of Yangzhou. ”

"What? That dog thief even rose to the prefect? God doesn't have long eyes! ”

"If you can count on God for everything, then what else do you need people to do? People still have to rely on themselves. Don't worry, this Wu Zhirong won't live long, when I go back to Yangzhou, I will get rid of the dog thief for you. Ling Muyun snorted coldly.

"Childe is right, people still have to rely on themselves, now that we know the whereabouts of the dog thief, we don't need to trouble Childe anymore, he owes us a blood debt, and we will pay it back with our own hands."

Zhuang Wang glanced at Ling Muyun with gratitude, and Ying Ying bowed down: "Thank you Gongzi for telling us the whereabouts of Wu Zhirong's dog thief, otherwise we can only cry blood and hold hatred here all the time, and I don't know when and what month we will have the opportunity to take revenge." ”

Ling Muyun was about to get up and pick up Mrs. Zhuang, when he heard the sound of clothes slugging, behind the door, by the window, suddenly there were many more figures, and then he heard an old woman's voice say outside the window: "Childe, you will inform us of the whereabouts of Wu Zhirong's dog thief, so that we, the surviving people, have the opportunity to take revenge with our own hands, great kindness, toothless and unforgettable!" ”

The voice fell, and through the crack in the window, Ling Muyun saw dozens of white-clothed women outside the window bowing to the ground, kowtowing to him, whining and crying. Then I saw the women stand up, and the sound of crying faded away, and they dispersed.

At this time, Mrs. Zhuang also stood up and said, "I haven't asked for advice yet, I don't know the names of Gongzi and this gentleman?" ”

Ling Muyun and Lu Gaoxuan each reported their names.

Mrs. Zhuang said: "The two of them are traveling on a rainy night, and they must be tired, so the slave family will arrange a place for the two of them to live, so that Ling Gongzi and Mr. Lu can have a good rest." ”

"Thank you, ma'am."

"Ling Gongzi and Mr. Lu are polite, it is our honor for the two of you to stay with us, wait a minute, someone will come in a while."

Mrs. Zhuang turned around and left, and after a short time, she saw a bright light in the distance, and when she got closer, she saw that it was two lanterns, carried by two women, and walked closer.

Ling Muyun raised his eyes and saw that one of the two women was already in his thirties, dressed as a servant woman, and looked ordinary. The other woman was a young and beautiful girl, about fourteen or fifteen years old, with a snow-white face, small eyebrows and a small mouth, delicate as a flower, and extremely delicate and pretty.

Two women came to the front with lanterns, and the servant woman asked Lu Gaoxuan to go to the guest room with her to sleep. Lu Gaoxuan saw that the rooms arranged for the two of them were actually separated, and immediately looked at Ling Muyun and asked for instructions with his eyes, obviously still wary of the dealer.

Ling Muyun, who was familiar with the original work, knew that what Mrs. Zhuang said before was true, and he would not have any bad thoughts about him, the benefactor who reported the news, so he nodded to Lu Gaoxuan and motioned him to go and rest with him.

Seeing this, Lu Gaoxuan followed the servant woman.

After the two of them left, the girl said to Ling Muyun: "Young Master Ling, the third young grandmother ordered me to come and order Gongzi to go to bed." "The voice is delicate and tactful, and it is very good.

"Third young grandmother?"

The girl hurriedly explained: "The one who talked to Childe before was the third young grandmother. ”

Ling Muyun's heart moved, and he asked with a smile, "Then what's your name?" ”

The girl bowed her head and replied, "Son-in-law, my name is Shuang'er, a pair of doubles." ”

Sure enough, it's a twin!

Ling Muyun jumped a little excited in his heart, and smiled at Shuang'er: "It's a nice name, it's as cute as a person." ”

Shuang'er's little face suddenly turned red, and he said in a low voice: "Childe is making fun of it, let's let Shuang'er take Childe to the guest room to rest." ”
