Chapter 66: A Rainy Night
At dusk, it did rain, first with one or two drops of wet land, and then into a dripping rain, with the smell of earth.
The little Taoist boy with a big wooden basin on his head jumped into the rain, and he hurriedly took off his coat and covered it with herbs: "!" Master, don't you move when you're old! ”
"For the teacher's inconvenient legs, the child depends on you." Wen Chenzi held the purple clay pot and lay on the bamboo chair under the eaves: "Hurry up, these herbs can't be damp." ”
"Hey." Xiao Daotong pouted and ran sweating profusely, according to him, the lazy man in the world is his master!
"It's raining heavily, and it's not appropriate to rush again." He didn't reply to Chenzi's head: "You might as well stay for one night, and wait for the weather to clear tomorrow morning before continuing to hurry." ”
"It's fine." Jiang Banxia looked at the raindrops that kept dripping under the eaves, such a heavy rain really couldn't be hurried anymore, she and He Qiaoyi were injured, and they couldn't bear it.
The sound of the dripping rain gradually evolved into a majestic rain, the temperature plummeted, Jiang Banxia wrapped himself in a small bed in the wing, and fell asleep listening to the sound of the rain on his back.

"The wine among the flowers is warm in the spring breeze, and the sound of chess in the bamboo is cold at night." Meng Zhuzhou stood in front of the window and recited softly: "This spring rain is coming violently, and the pear blossoms in front of the court are afraid that they will not survive tonight and will be crushed into mud one after another." ”
"Isn't there another flower when the pear blossom falls?" Lin Cheng sat by the fire and picked up peanuts to eat, and said indistinctly: "Last time I listened to your words, I didn't go to the Spring Festival, but nothing happened?"
"Didn't happen?" Meng Zhuzhou chuckled: "Or you don't know?" ”
"I..."Lin Shengsai's peanut hand paused: "What do you mean?" ”
Meng Zhuzhou twisted some of the newly dried peach blossoms a few days ago into the cup, and he said: "It is true that nothing major happened on the Spring Festival Day, but it is not necessary if you go. ”
"I don't have to go?" Who is so poisonous and stares at him?
"On the day of the Spring Festival, the people of the Great Prince were given laxatives."
Meng Zhuzhou carefully lifted the iron kettle simmering on the stove, and the hot hot water fell into the cup along the spout, and the petals tumbled up and down: "You go, the person who drugged it will be you." ”
"Me?" Lin Xuan's brain can't turn around, will he be so bored that he goes to laxatives? How can it be!
Meng Zhuzhou pinched the teacup with one hand, he leaned to his nose and smelled it, and the sweet fragrance of flowers hit his nose.
"You won't do it yourself, but there has to be someone to blame." The steaming heat from the hot tea stained Meng Zhuzhou's pale cheeks red, and he raised his eyes and said, "Your back is just right." ”
"Huh?" Lin Cheng grabbed another teacup: "Why do I know every word you say, but I can't understand it together?" What do you mean? ”
"If you don't understand, forget it." Meng Zhuzhou said: "As long as you remember, your life is still one day, and you have to do something for me for one day." ”
Hearing this, Lin Cheng only felt that life was hopeless, and he was like a grasshopper in Meng Zhuzhou's hand, unable to jump.
The rain is getting louder and louder, and sometimes it is accompanied by a few thunderous roars, reaching the sky and the earth.
Suddenly, a person rushed out of the rain curtain and knelt down under the eaves: "Sir, all the people sent are dead." ”
"Dead." Meng Zhuzhou's expression was calm, and he said, "Did Ma Wenrui know the news?" ”
"I've already sent someone to pass it on."
"Very well, now tell the brethren to assemble in the antechamber and wait for news." Meng Zhuzhou put down the teacup in his hand, and he turned to face Lin Yuan.
With just one glance, Lin Xuan understood what he meant: "Really, I'll go, I'll go!" ”
Mysterious all day long, and a bad stomach, who wants to know about his!
Lin Xuan's head was strained, and he rushed out in the heavy rain, and as soon as he touched the back door, he took a photo with a man in a robe.
"Get out of the way!" The man's tone was fiery: "Don't get in the way of the master!" ”
Lin Cheng took a step back with the mentality of not causing trouble because this was Meng Zhuzhou's territory, and made way out, he shook his head and muttered, "Hurry up to get the first child." ”
......
"Someone is coming." Meng Zhuzhou tapped the incense burner, and the agarwood gradually spread along with the sandalwood, and there was a bit of jasmine in the end.
"Mr. Zhuzhou is so Yaxing." The man took off his clothes and said in a hurry, "What time is it now!" Don't you have a charter, sir! ”
"Ma Gongzi, why be angry." Meng Zhuzhou lightly fanned the incense mist with his hand: "Things have to be done one by one, and mistakes will occur in a hurry." ”
Ma Wenrui clenched his fists and stepped forward, his whole face was hideous: "This matter must not be known by my cousin, otherwise..."
He wanted to take a step closer, but before he could make a move, he was stopped by Ling, Ling's body was light and silent, and Ma Wenrui couldn't push him away no matter how hard he tried.
"Ma Gongzi, just stand in place and say." Meng Zhuzhou spoke: "If you get too close, this incense won't spread." ”
"You..." Ma Wenrui was speechless with anger.
"Earlier, Ma Gongzi asked him to send people to intercept and kill, and he also sent people below." Meng Zhuzhou's voice suddenly became cold: "The people below are all broken, won't Ma Gongzi give an explanation?" ”
"You can't send any more powerful ones!" Ma Wenrui's face was gloomy, and his eyes were bloodshot: "What kind of goods are the previous batches, you Meng Zhuzhou know much better than me!" ”
Meng Zhuzhou didn't even raise his eyes, he said coldly: "Young Master Ma, this is Zizhuxuan, according to the rules of the rivers and lakes, your transaction with us has ended." ”
Lightning swept across the sky, and the dim room was instantly lit up, and Meng Zhuzhou's shadow was exaggerated on the wall, which frightened Ma Wenrui and shook his legs.
"They must be killed!" Ma Wenrui rushed forward like crazy: "You must not let your cousin know!" ”
"Cousin... If my cousin knows, I'll confess to you!" Ma Wenrui bared his teeth and said viciously: "Meng Zhuzhou, the world praises you for your noble bearing and resourcefulness, I don't think so, my cousin is blind and can't see people clearly, but I don't!" ”
"Oh." Meng Zhuzhou laughed and said: "Your cousin is indeed blind and unrecognizable, and he recognizes a bloodsucking leech like you as a relative, you and I are just fifty steps and a hundred steps apart, no one should dislike anyone." ”
"You..." Ma Wenrui was speechless.
"If you want things not to get out, Ma Gongzi had better listen to your cousin and hide well." Meng Zhuzhou raised his hand and motioned for Ling to let go: "The faster you jump, the more miserable you will die." ”
Ma Wenrui grabbed his robe, glared at Meng Zhuzhou viciously, and then rushed into the rain, just as he came, in a hurry.
"He's gone." Ling spoke.
"It's gone, it's gone, you don't know it, it's useless to look in the mirror." Meng Zhuzhou scooped a spoonful of water and extinguished the incense burner: "After so many years, sure enough, I still don't like the taste of the old bureau of the Second Su." ”
"Why?" Ling asked.
"It's too heavy, it's too stuffy."
Meng Zhuzhou pushed open the window and let the heavy rain into the house, and the flashing thunder and lightning from time to time outlined dazzling spots of light on the ground.
"Ling, tell the brothers to set off, and if you encounter other killers on the way, you won't leave any of them." Meng Zhuzhou stretched out his hand to catch the raindrops: "Remember, let those two go to Donglin Academy alive." ”
"Yes." Ling took his order.
Touching a nail in his place, Ma Wenrui jumped over the wall in a hurry, and he will definitely go to find another house, and when the incident happens in the east window, the expression of the eldest prince will be very interesting.
Thinking of this, Meng Zhuzhou laughed in a low voice.
