Chapter 34: The Mystery of the Fish's Origin

And Cheng Liu glanced at Yu Youkui, only to see that she directly pushed open the door and walked in, seemingly not worried about any danger inside.

After entering the inside, Cheng Liu found that there was a mess inside, it seemed that this so-called master had already fought with Gu Guan before, but it was obvious that Gu Guan had the upper hand, because the old man was sitting on a chair, and the corners of his mouth were slightly bleeding, and he was afraid that he was seriously injured.

"That jade pendant was originally mine, after you sent someone to steal it, I just used your means to return it now."

The young fish said loudly.

Unexpectedly, the old man just snorted coldly.

"Your father-in-law doesn't dare to talk to me like that, little girl, do you know what this jade pendant is?"

Yu Youkui was slightly moved, but still replied calmly: "No matter what it is, but it is also mine, no one else can touch it except me." ”

"Ahem......"

The old man suddenly began to cough violently, and blood seeped out of his palm, but his gaze still carried a majesty that made people have to surrender.

"Sooner or later, you will die in the hands of this jade pendant, I am doing this for your good."

Yu Youkui sneered: "I've heard enough of this kind of talk since I was a child, my father-in-law said, you are not a good person, and you stole my things again this time, I don't know what you mean by saying this." ”

The old man stood up suddenly, his body was emaciated, and his face was pale, but he still said with full of energy: "On a snowy day that year, I found you lying in the snow with your stepfather, and your limbs were almost frozen, so I hurriedly picked you up and put my coat on you. ”

"At that time, your life was almost hanging by a thread, and I pulled you back from the ghost gate, but do you know what your stepfather said at that time? In these years, the girl's life is less valuable than a dog, let me lose you, it's me, with his handle, to coerce him to raise you until now. ”

Yu Youkui's face was slightly strange, but he still didn't speak.

"About a month later, your stepfather is leaving, I left you a thing, that is, the jade pendant, with a fish character written on it, that is, your current surname, I told him not to tell you the truth, so that you can grow up in peace, but I didn't expect that he actually let you go on this road!"

What is this way? Cheng Liu was suddenly aroused and listened to the old man's story with great interest.

"I took the jade pendant the day before yesterday, just to get you out of this whirlpool as soon as possible, but you ...... Hey, now that you have taken it, I have no ability to take it back, but I want you to remember that in this world, no one can be trusted, everyone has their own interests, and he raised you and has his own purpose. ”

"I just regret it, if I kept you by my side, I'm afraid you would still be an innocent little girl......"

Yu Youkui finally raised his head, and he didn't know when he had a short blade in his hand, and suddenly an arrow stepped forward and stabbed the old man's heart just as he spoke.

"You know what? I should have died a long time ago, and I wouldn't have been tortured for no reason for sixteen years, and you shouldn't have saved me, let alone said these things to me. ”

"Ahem......"

The old man took two steps back, and at last he could not stand anymore and collapsed on the edge of his chair.

There was a kind of disheartened despair in his eyes, his face was as dead as ashes, his mouth was sobbing, and he only coughed a few times, and he could not say a complete sentence.

The three people rushed in from outside, and when they saw this scene, they immediately wanted to make a move on Yu Youkui, but Cheng Liu's eyes were quick, and he directly took her all the way to the wall and jumped to the street behind the deep alley.

There are a lot of people here, and those three people probably don't have the heart to chase after them.

The carriage was ahead, and the young fish whistled, and the coachman immediately stopped the carriage beside it.

After getting into the carriage, Cheng Liu noticed that Yu Youkui's face had two tear stains at some point, and the short blade was still tightly held in her hand, trembling slightly, and the blood had already stained her hands.

Cheng Liu opened his mouth, and suddenly didn't know what to say, so he had to sit obediently on the side.

"Steward Liu, go to the county guard's mansion."

After a long time, Yu Youkui finally spoke.

The carriage turned around and finally arrived at the county guard's mansion.

As soon as he got out of the carriage, he saw a person walking out of the door, it was Gu Guan.

He threw the jade pendant in his hand, Yu Youkui caught it, and immediately put it away.

"Let's go, I'll ask if I have anything to say."

Cheng Liu nodded slightly, and the three of them walked in together.

When Sweet Potato saw the three of them, she was taken aback, and just as she was about to speak, Cheng Liu asked her to go and fetch hot water.

Yu Youkui soaked his hands in the hot water, and after closing his eyes, he didn't know what he was thinking, and Gu Guan was always standing by the window, as if he was a little worried about the safety of the county guard's mansion.

Only Cheng Liu looked at the two of them boredly, they were both led by the nose tonight, and now they were very unhappy, but seeing Yu Youkui's expression, she seemed to be extremely sad, so she had to suppress the distress in her heart.

After making a pot of tea from sweet potatoes and pouring a cup for everyone, he cautiously asked Cheng Liu: "Childe, do you need help from the slave?" ”

Cheng Liu waved his hand: "It's okay, you go and rest first." ”

Sweet potato nodded slightly, and as soon as he opened the door, Cheng Liu suddenly thought of something again, and instructed: "In the past two days, the secret agents of the county guard mansion have been outside the mansion, and the rest of the people should not be put into the mansion." ”

"Yes, Childe."

After the sweet potatoes went out, Cheng Liu took a sip of tea gently, but before he could swallow the tea, he was squirted out by Yu Youkui's words.

"Is there anything to eat?"

Cheng Liu wiped the corners of his mouth, and called Xia Cicada to tell the kitchen to make a little snack like supper.

After Yu Youkui sat down, Gu Guan was still standing by the window, Cheng Liu ignored him, but patiently waited for Yu Youkui to say something.

"This jade pendant is related to my life and death, but I don't know what tribulation a jade pendant will bring me."

"When I was twelve years old, a strong man came up to my father's house, and the first thing he said was to take me away, saying that I should not stay in the house, but should go to the wider world. At that time, my father-in-law stopped the man, and probably killed him, but in short, I didn't leave, but since that day I have found that my father-in-law has to see a group of people every day, and each group is more vicious than a group of people. ”

"I suddenly realized that my father-in-law's identity may not be so simple, he is not only a rich man who rivals the country, he is plotting something, until one day, a distinguished guest came to the house, and my father-in-law asked me to participate in the banquet, and at the banquet, I finally knew everything, about Yu Pei and my life experience."

"The person just now is the person who came to the mansion at the beginning, that is, on that day, my father-in-law bought a lot of official positions, claiming that he wanted me to enjoy glory and wealth."
