Chapter 32: The Evil Star
The cold voice came into his ears, and the man looked at it sharply.
Seeing that it was the young man who had gone and returned just now, his face changed suddenly.
A piece of silver fell into the woman's hand, and the young man said gently: "Auntie, I will compensate for him." ”
The woman pinched the silver and spat the man: "You're lucky!" ”
After receiving Lu Xuan's signal, the woman turned around and left.
Inside and outside the door, the two looked at each other.
The man hurriedly closed the door, but the boy reached out to hold it.
"You-"
Lu Xuan pushed the person and strode in.
The man hurriedly closed the door and smiled weakly: "Why did the adult come back?" ”
Lu Xuan turned around and coldly swept the man.
He was also thin for a boy of his age, but he was half a head taller than the man who made a living playing monkeys.
Swept away by the young man's sharp eyes, the man couldn't help but get nervous.
"If you don't come back, how can I hear your true words." Lu Xuan looked at the man and seemed to be smiling.
The man's scalp was numb, and his expression was dazed: "What are you saying, why can't Xiaomin understand?" ”
"Earlier, you told me that animals are animals, and it is impossible to be as sensible and obedient as people, and just now you told the lady that monkeys are more obedient than people." The smile in the young man's eyes was chilling, "Isn't it contradictory?" ”
The man replied again and again: "Xiao Min just said that he didn't want to be falsely accused by that woman, Xiao Min didn't dare to lie to adults——"
A strong force came, and the man was dragged to his feet.
"My lord—"
Lu Xuan grabbed the man's shirt and dragged him directly into the house.
Although the courtyard is small and well-lit, the low and dilapidated house is dimly lit and filled with a musty smell.
The man was grabbed by the hem of his shirt against the cold wall, and his breathing became rapid: "My lord, what are you doing here?" ”
Although the young man's expression was cold, he couldn't imagine that the other party would be ruthless for a while.
Sixteen or seventeen-year-old boys, there are still few things to do, and few are ruthless.
The man secretly comforted himself.
But in a flash of cold light, the cold dagger was against his neck.
"Your Excellency!" The man panicked for a moment, and his voice changed tone.
The young man who was close at hand did not change his face, and his tone was indifferent: "I don't have time to listen to your quibbles." Why your monkey lost control that day, now tell me clearly. ”
"My lord, Xiaomin really doesn't dare to lie to you, that day-"
The latter words turned into screams.
The tip of the dagger sank into his shoulder, and as the dagger was pulled out, it was drenched in blood.
"Would you like to be honest now?"
The blood-stained dagger dangled in front of his eyes, and the man was terrified.
But if he wants to admit it, he is still unwilling.
The man plucked up his courage and said tremblingly, "My lord, you really misunderstood—"
The hand fell, and a little finger was cut off.
This time the man screamed even worse.
Blood was dripping down, and the low, dimly lit room seemed like hell.
Under the interweaving of blood and darkness, the young man's indifferent face became more and more white, and there was a strange harmony with this scene.
He took out a snow-white handkerchief and slowly wiped the blood-stained dagger, and asked without surprise: "Are you willing to tell me honestly now?" ”
It was exactly the same as the previous words, but it was completely different when it fell into the man's ears.
Looking at the bland-looking young man, great fear filled the man's heart.
He finally realized that the young man in front of him really dared to kill.
"I, I say—" The man shuddered as he clutched his hand with half of his little finger cut off.
Lu Xuan threw a small porcelain bottle over and said coldly, "Stop the bleeding first." Speak slowly, I'm not in a hurry. ”
The man was even more scared.
Broken fingers are still ready for gold sore medicine, it can be seen that this evil star often does this kind of thing!
The man was trembling and shivering, nervous and painful, and quite strained.
Lu Xuan watched coldly, without any sympathy.
The second brother has been missing for several days, and there is no news so far, and all kinds of clues indicate that the disappearance of the second brother is a conspiracy.
Think about the anxious family, the situation of the second brother, let alone sympathy, even if he chops this bastard, he won't blink.
"Can you say that?"
The young man's cold voice sounded, causing the man to shudder.
"I say, I say!" The man was completely devastated.
Lu Xuan was not surprised that he could pry open the man's mouth.
There is no one who can harm others for a little benefit, and there is no one who is not greedy for life and afraid of death.
"Someone gave me ten taels of silver to play monkey on Changying Street, and when I saw someone in the crowd with red silk on my wrist appearing, I would find a way to create a commotion......," the man said while looking at Lu Xuan's expression and crying, "My lord, Xiaomin really didn't expect this kind of thing to happen later!" ”
Just let the monkey pounce into the crowd to get ten taels of silver, who can refuse?
"Less nonsense!" Lu Xuan glanced at the man, his face was frosty, "What does the person with red silk on his wrist look like?" ”
The man tried his best to recall: "It was a young man who was not tall, not short, not fat or thin, that face was featureless, Xiaomin didn't look at it carefully at the time, and now he can't remember——"
Seeing the young man's cold eyes, the man hurriedly raised his hand: "Xiaomin swears that if there is half a lie, the sky will thunder!" ”
Lu Xuan saw that the man's expression didn't seem to be fake, so he thought for a while and asked, "Are you sure it's a man?" ”
The man nodded violently: "Xiaomin is sure, this must not be wrong." ”
"I heard from the official that you had no fixed residence, so why didn't you leave the capital after the chaos that day?"
When the man heard this, he said with a bitter face: "Xiaomin also wants to, but that person specially explained, what should be done in the past, and there is no abnormality." ”
If he had known that he would encounter this evil star, he would have gone away early in the morning.
Lu Xuan listened and fell into deep thought.
Thinking so thoroughly, the other party didn't want people to notice anything unusual.
It's a pity that God has eyes, Miss Feng didn't die, and she happened to be met by him and quickly brought back to the capital.
"What does the man who gave you the money look like?"
The man's face was embarrassed: "That person is wearing a hat, he can't see his appearance clearly, and his figure is ordinary......"
Seeing that he couldn't ask anything, Lu Xuan threw a piece of silver on the table and reminded coldly: "Take care of your mouth, if not, next time you won't lose a little finger." ”
"The little people understand, the little people understand."
Sending the evil star away, the man slowly slid to the ground with his back against the door.
The monkey, who didn't know when he came back, saw that his master was motionless, and came up to chirp.
The man put his arms around the dazed monkey and began to cry.
Lu Xuan returned to the Guogong Mansion for dinner, and instructed his henchmen: "I'm going out to do something, you should be smart." ”
The little guy called for joy, the thin man was not tall, and when he heard the words, he hurriedly said: "Son, go away, the little one will cover for you." ”
Lu Xuan nodded, and quietly left the Chengguo Mansion in the hazy night.
He planned to meet with Miss Feng again and talk about her cousin.
This kind of little lady raised in the boudoir wants to see each other, and it is troublesome, so she can only go over the wall to see it.
Of course, the time should be chosen well, too early is not conducive to covering up the appearance, and it is not appropriate for the other party to sleep too late.
Stopping not far from Shangshu Mansion, the young man looked at the high wall and thought: This time is just right.
