Chapter 70: The Den of Thieves
123, who has been observing the middle-aged man, sees it clearly, this middle-aged man must be wrong.
This courtyard is neatly maintained, and the calligraphy and paintings hanging in the room are also related to Buddhism, and there is Zen everywhere, but there are big fish and meat on the table, and the wine is also extremely strong.
On the wall is the painting of the Emperor Mother of Pear, holding a treasure fan in her right hand, painted with floating clouds in the sea, red sun and white moon, wearing a large-sleeved round-necked gunsuit, wearing cloud-toed shoes, and caressing the top of the head of her son Bi Li Yunjia with her left hand.
Jiang Yuanliu noticed the Buddha statue of the Mother of the Emperor Heli in the room, and asked, "Why don't you see the female relatives of Master Zhuang's family?" After speaking, she glanced at Yuan Xiwen, who was weakly leaning on her shoulder, as if she was worried.
After all, there are women here, and there are no female relatives to entertain them, so it can't be said.
"Hey! This is also the sorrow in my heart, my old wife has been sick and died for many years, and I have been married to her for decades when she was young, and I am unwilling to marry, so I have been widowed for many years......"
The middle-aged man said this, Jiang Yuanliu lowered his eyes, covering the coldness in his eyes, Emperor Heli is the protector of children.
Legend has it that 500 monks met a pregnant woman on the way to the meeting, but the woman had a miscarriage halfway, 500 people left her, the woman swore a poisonous oath, reincarnated in the next life in the king's house, ate all the children in the city, and then fulfilled the oath.
After the woman was reincarnated in the city of Wangshe and gave birth to 500 children, she captured the children in the city every day to feed her, and when Shakya heard about it, she took advantage of her to hide one of her children when she was out.
Shakya persuaded her to compare her heart to her heart, and sure enough, she persuaded the ghost son and mother, made her have an epiphany, and became one of the protectors of the heavens, and was worshiped as a gift to your mother among the people.
The family who will sincerely worship the mother of the emperor must want to ask for a son, but the host family actually said that his wife has been dead for many years, and he has no children, no daughters, and is alone.
"I see, it's my fault for causing the host's family to be sad." Jiang Yuanliu said with a smile.
Jiang Chengli was dazed, and he was confused, not knowing what dumb riddle Jiang Yuanliu was playing with his master's family.
No matter how the middle-aged man persuaded him, Gu Jinshu didn't drink a drop of alcohol, while Jiang Yuanliu refused with a smile, bluntly saying that he was not in good health, only Jiang Chengli seemed to be able to drink, but he was strictly controlled by Jiang Yuanliu.
In the end, no one cared about the spirits that exuded a strong aroma, and the middle-aged man's face was very ugly.
Back in the room, Jiang Chengli asked very puzzledly, "What kind of dumb riddle were you playing at the banquet just now?" Why did Liu Er stop me and not let me drink? The spirit tastes great and the winemaking process is excellent. ”
He used to march and fight, he always ate meat and drank a lot of wine, and after returning to his hometown, he did not dare to be presumptuous, he was cautious and cautious every day, and he never drank strong wine together, so he was very greedy just now.
"Daddy, it wasn't a fine wine just now, it was a talisman!" Jiang Yuanliu said in a low voice.
Jiang Chengli took a cool breath, "What do you mean, there's something wrong with that wine?" ”
Jiang Yuanliu shook his head, "There is no problem with the wine, if there is, there is a problem with the cup, don't you see that the master also drinks it?" But it doesn't matter if there is a problem with the wine, the important thing is that the host is wrong! ”
Gu Jinshu nodded in agreement, his eyes were full of appreciation, "Liu'er, tell me, what's wrong?" ”
"This yard is tidy everywhere, which shows that the owner's family is delicate and organized, but there are people who die floating in the pond, how can a clean and tidy person allow dead fish to be in the pond? So I had my doubts, but I was wronged by the good people, I didn't grow, and I knew that I was just sure. ”
Jiang Yuanliu's face was dark, "When I was just dining, I deliberately tried to say that there were no children and no daughters when I enshrined the Dharma of Emperor Heli at home, how could this be possible!" ”
"Maybe it's because you don't have it that you ask for a child?" Jiang Chengli wondered.
Jiang Yuanliu shook his head, "Then it can't be said, the Heli Emperor's Mother Law is empty, and there should be his beloved son Bi Li Yunjia on his left hand, where it has obviously been destroyed." ”
Gu Jinshu nodded with satisfaction, "You observed very carefully, and I just took advantage of the toast to see that the master had a cocoon on his hand, a thick cocoon that can only be found when practicing martial arts." ”
Jiang Chengli then remembered, "That person spoke like a bell, his breath was steady, and he was obviously not an ordinary person." ”
"Daddy, now we already think that there is something wrong with the master's family, but he has no substantive action, we are now suspicious of our neighbors stealing axes, which will inevitably hurt good people, and we should not move."
Gu Jinshu narrowed his eyes, "What Liu Er said is very true, the night when the moon is dark and the wind is high is the best time to do it, if there is a problem, we will definitely take advantage of our sleep to do it, everyone get ready." ”
At night, Jiang Yuanliu was lying flat on the bed, next to Yuan Xiwen, because she misunderstood that she was a man, Yuan Xiwen never said a word to her.
Jiang Yuanliu felt that Yuan Xiwen was trembling, sighed and grabbed Yuan Xiwen's wrist, lowered his voice and comforted: "Don't worry, if someone dares to sneak into the room, they can be drugged in an instant!" ”
This time, Jiang Yuanliu smeared a deadly poison at the door, and when he saw blood sealing his throat, he could kill people in an instant.
There was a rustling sound outside the door, and a figure approached the door, silently opening the latch with a dagger that flashed with cold light, and three men pinched the dagger and entered the earthen door.
Immediately after, they stepped on something, and the crackling of teacups, followed by the wails of men, immediately woke everyone who was asleep.
The first time Jiang Yuanliu heard the movement, she hid Yuan Xiwen behind the bed, the ancient beds were all step beds, like a small room, she was guarding outside, and she could clearly hear her heartbeat like a drum.
Although the medicine she applied to the doorknob was very domineering, she was not sure that all three of them would touch the doorknob, and the amount of poison was limited, and she couldn't wipe it everywhere.
Jiang Yuanliu nervously held the whip in his hand, and the three of them sneaked in from outside the door, Jiang Yuanliu immediately breathed away, and one of them had already touched the side of the bed by the moonlight.
Yuan Xiwen trembled nervously, but after seeing Jiang Yuanliu's back, his whole heart stabilized.
Jiang Yuanliu saw the opportunity, she strangled the man's neck with a whip, and kicked the man's neck with skill, she knew what position and what kind of force could be fatal.
The man fell to the ground in an instant, without even a sound of struggle or reminder.
The other two couldn't sit still, tiptoed over, and then one of them fell to the ground with a puff and began to convulse violently, rolling his eyes and foaming at the mouth, and the frightened man's legs went limp.
"Brother, what's wrong with you?" The man panicked, probed under Lao Liu's nose, and found that he had died of anger.
