Chapter 336: Tempting Each Other
Could it be that he knows this logo?
Zhuangzi was puzzled, but now was not the time to ask this, so when Bai Wuyuan stood up, he asked lightly, "Can the investigation be completed?" ”
Bai Wuyuan confirmed the thoughts in his heart and nodded, "It's okay, sir." ”
He watched as the body was reburied, but he frowned and thought.
Why does this person have the logo of the Red Lotus Sect?
When he thought of this, he heard Zhuangzi say: "It's not too early, let's go back." ”
This corpse was sprinkled with medicinal powder by him, and even if someone dug it up by mistake in the future, it would not be infected with the poison.
As for other places, the medicinal powder that was sprinkled just now can also drive out toxins.
It's safe.
Hearing his words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and Bai Wuyuan nodded in response: "Okay, sir, you invite first." ”
On the way back, the guards were still guarding the front and rear, and the three of them walked in the middle.
Bai Wuyuan walked behind Zhuangzi Period, watching them descend the mountain, but on the other hand, he drew a question mark in his heart.
In the current Zhuangzi period, everything seems to be normal.
So was his sudden evil spirit because he was implicated by the corpse, or because he actually saw something.
For example, the logo of the Red Lotus Sect!
Thinking of this, Bai Wuyuan's heart suddenly sank, and his hand holding the torch tightened a little.
If his conjecture is correct, is it difficult for Zhuangzi to know something?
At least, he wouldn't be ignorant about the Red Lotus Sect!
……
With this doubt, Bai Wuyuan's thoughts kept surging in his heart all the way down the mountain.
After getting into the carriage, he couldn't restrain this thought a little.
"Sir."
Hearing Bai Wuyuan call himself, Zhuang Ziqi opened his eyes and said lightly, "What does Lord Bai want to ask?" ”
From the time he came down the mountain, the kid was constantly staring at himself.
Zhuangzi is not stupid, so he naturally guessed the reason.
Come to think of it, this Bai Wuyuan is a smart person, and he has already guessed what the abnormality in the mine is.
It was not easy for him to endure until now to ask himself.
Thinking of this, Zhuangzi Qi hooked his lips again, poured himself a glass of wine, took a sip slowly, and suddenly felt comfortable physically and mentally.
Gu Jiu didn't know when he hid the wine, but after he reacted, he saw that the other party had already drunk a glass of wine.
She immediately gritted her teeth and said, "Master! ”
The little girl's helpless and annoyed voice made Zhuang Ziqi shake his head and smile, and said very good-naturedly: "Just one cup, Ah Jiu Mo is angry, and he is shocked by the teacher." ”
He didn't look like he was frightened at all, but the appearance of Zhuangzi was still in front of him, and Gu Jiu relented for a while, and then watched him put a glass of wine into his stomach again.
Seeing this, Gu Jiu became more and more helpless, but Zhuang Ziqi smiled and patted her hand, while looking at Bai Wuyuan and said, "Lord Bai, do you want a cup?" ”
Does this man invite others?
Fortunately, Bai Wuyuan didn't plan to drink it.
Instead of drinking, he smiled warmly: "Old gentleman, let's stop in moderation, otherwise Mrs. Qin will probably really be angry." ”
It was clear that Bai Wuyuan was very anxious before, but for some reason, seeing Zhuangziqi's appearance, he was rarely calmed down.
You can even laugh with him.
Hearing Bai Wuyuan's words, Zhuang Ziqi said a pity in his heart, and said lightly: "That's it, the old man won't drink anymore." ”
At this point, he put away the flask and replaced it with a pot of tea.
Seeing that Gu Jiu's face looked much better, Zhuangzi smiled lowly.
is obviously the most annoying to be disciplined, but now that he is used to being restrained by a few juniors, he actually thinks it is quite beautiful.
However, Bai Wuyuan opposite him was not beautiful at all.
He sighed and said, "Sir is so smart, he must have guessed what the junior is going to ask, right?" ”
Sure enough, as soon as Bai Wuyuan's words came out, he heard Zhuangzi Qi say lightly: "That totem? ”
"Exactly."
When he said this, Bai Wuyuan's expression was full of solemnity.
Ordinary tattoos or logos are all on the flesh and skin. Once the flesh is removed, it no longer exists.
But the totem is different.
It is carved into the bone through the flesh and skin, and once it is engraved, it is a lifetime.
For example, this corpse is like this.
Even if the flesh is rotten, there are bones that reveal his identity.
Thinking of this, Bai Wuyuan became more and more glad that he had followed him tonight.
If it weren't for that, how could he have found out that there were other clues on this corpse!
Hearing this, Zhuangzi did not answer his question directly, but only asked, "What does Lord Bai know and what do you want to know?" ”
This is not a temptation, but an explicit inquiry.
Such a fair and honest attitude made Bai Wuyuan smile.
It's funny to say, he has always liked to calculate people's hearts, but once he entered the light, he found that only a small number of people play with power, and most people prefer to be on the right side.
For example, Gu Jiu, such as Zheng Huailuo, such as the Zhuangzi period in front of him.
Thinking of this, Bai Wuyuan's voice was a little more pleasant.
His expression can be called gentle, and he didn't even close the smile on his lips, and answered Zhuangzi's question very leisurely: "It's not a secret, the younger generation doesn't know much, so I want to ask the old gentleman what you know." But here's what I can tell you—"
When Bai Wuyuan said this, he restrained the smile on his face and said solemnly: "On the back of that person's neck, there is a flame mark, and this totem is unique to the Red Lotus Sect. ”
As soon as these words came out, Gu Jiu's hand to hold the teacup suddenly trembled, and he frowned and said, "Red Lotus Sect? ”
Why is it the Red Lotus Sect again?
Hearing her words, Zhuangzi had a casual smile on his face, but his heart suddenly pinched.
Red Lotus Sect?!
So, that totem is from the Red Lotus Sect?
Zhuangzi didn't know where that totem was, but after hearing these words from Bai Wuyuan's mouth at this time, his heart instantly set off a turbulent wave.
He had always thought that this would be a totem peculiar to a certain powerful person.
Don't want to...... It turned out to be the Red Lotus Sect.
There was also a Bai Wuyuan on the other side looking at him, so Zhuang Ziqi's voice returned to normal after only a moment, and he responded: "Yes, it's the Red Lotus Sect again." ”
Although there was still a casual smile on his lips, anyone could see the coldness in that smile.
Seeing his expression, Bai Wuyuan became more and more sure that Zhuangzi knew some inside information, because he said: "Old man, I can't hide it, the only useful content that the younger generation knows." I don't know ...... Can you give me some advice? ”
Hearing this, Zhuangzi just glanced at him, sneered, and said with a smile: "I said boy, you are not sincere." ”
When he said this, he paused, and then said, "That's it, I'll just tell you one thing - this poison is related to the Red Lotus Sect, so where will this batch of weapons be sent?" Boy, instead of dwelling on these now, you should follow this clue and investigate strictly. ”
As soon as these words came out, Bai Wuyuan's expression immediately increased, and he said solemnly: "Thank you, old man, for your guidance." ”
How confused is he, what should be tracked down now is the batch of weapons.
And now, the Red Lotus Sect is a good clue!
Judging from the current situation, the Red Lotus Sect is definitely involved in this matter.
Even if they're not involved, if they use it properly......
Even if the Red Lotus Sect is innocent, he can also be accused of a crime!
No one hates that place more than he does.
……
Bai Wuyuan made up his mind, and after returning to the mansion, he said goodbye to Zhuangzi and the others, and went to the study himself.
He still has a lot to do, and even late at night, he doesn't have time to rest.
Zhuangzi looked relaxed, but only he knew that the current leisure was disguised.
"Okay girl, you can go rest too."
Hearing Zhuangziqi's words, Gu Jiu nodded in response, seeing that his face was full of exhaustion, he said with concern: "Master, go back and sleep quickly, you haven't had much rest in the past two days." ”
After hearing her words, Zhuang Ziqi responded with a smile, but after Gu Jiu left, his smile was all retracted, and instead of it, he was full of hatred.
After enduring it for so long, until now that he was left alone, he dared to let his emotions leak out.
The fire is all over the sky, the blood is all over the sky, he escaped from that hell, stained with the blood of his relatives, carrying their hatred, Yu Yu has been alone until now, but he finds that he is still in the fog.
And the only thing he can be sure of ......
It's related to medical skills.
It was the Fu family's unparalleled medical skills that caused disaster for them.
But in addition, he has never been able to find out who is behind the scenes.
Tonight, however, Zhuangzi got a new clue.
Red Lotus Sect.
What is the reason for this gang, which has been suppressed and no longer has the ability to raise its head, to resurgence in the past 20 years?
And Bai Wuyuan.
How did he know that it was the top-secret totem of the Red Lotus Sect?
It's a new mystery, but it's also a new clue.
Thinking of this, Zhuang Ziqi clenched his hands again, gritted his teeth and whispered: "I will never forget the enmity between the Fu family and the Zhuang family!" ”
I won't forget it!
Even if he gave up his life in this life, he also wanted to avenge his family!
……
After a day of tossing today, when Gu Jiu returned to the room, he happened to hear the voices of the husbands: "In the middle of the night, the weather is dry and dry, be careful of the candles." ”
The voice came from through several walls, faintly, but enough to be heard.
Gu Jiu pinched his eyebrows, but saw Mrs. Zhao greet her: "Say hello to Mrs. ”
Seeing that she hadn't slept yet, Gu Jiu couldn't help but put down her hand and asked with a smile, "Why hasn't my mother-in-law gone to sleep yet?" ”
Hearing this, Mrs. Zhao's eyebrows and eyes were full of smiles, and she smiled warmly: "You haven't come back yet, and the old woman can't sleep." ”
When she said this, she smelled the obvious smell of Gu Jiu's body again, and said with a smile: "It just so happened that the kitchen was boiling water, so I will let someone bring it over, it is uncomfortable to be hot this day, you can wash it and sleep." ”
After hearing her words, Gu Jiu responded with a smile, and thanked him: "Then I will thank you." ”
Mrs. Zhao said that it was okay to let people go and fetch water, and seeing Gu Jiu sitting on the chair full of fatigue, she thought about it and asked again, "Madame, do you want something to eat?" ”
As soon as she said this, she immediately saw Gu Jiu waving her hand and laughing, "No." ”
Just came down from the mine, those disgusting pictures were still in front of him, how big of a heart did Gu Jiu have to eat?
After the next person brought the bath bucket in, Mrs. Zhao saluted again, and said with a smile: "If you have something, call me, and the old woman is guarding the door." ”
Gu Jiu thanked her in response, and saw her go out.
When you go out, don't forget to close the door tightly.
The door creaked, shutting everything out of the room.
Gu Jiu took off her clothes and went into the bathtub, and the slightly hot water immediately washed away the dust and exhaustion on her body.
She closed her eyes and leaned on the edge of the tub, letting herself relax as she reminisced about the day's events.
It's just that I thought of that totem for no reason.
She always felt familiar before, but when she came back, she learned from Bai Wuyuan and Zhuangzi Period that this was actually the totem of the Red Lotus Sect.
But......
Although she had heard the name of the Red Lotus Sect countless times, she had never really dealt with those people, so where had she seen that mark from before?
Gu Jiu pondered and meditated, but he couldn't remember when he had seen it.
Not to mention that even though she has come out so many times in this life, she has never dealt with outsiders much, even in her previous life, she also stayed at home honestly.
Even when I go to the temple to offer incense, I have a family member to follow and return in one day.
Except-
Gu Jiu's eyes widened suddenly, and he couldn't help but gurgle his teeth.
She remembered!
In her previous life, the bandits who attacked her and Baizhu had a flame mark on the back of his neck!
The hideous laughter, the blood of Baizhu, and the scene of her desperately stabbing the hairpin into her throat have all become pictures that Gu Jiu dare not recall.
Gu Jiu endured the fear in his heart, and clutched the edge of the bath bucket, his fingers glowing blue and white because he was too hard.
But Rao is like this, and she is almost masochistic and forced herself to recall.
There was the sound of cicadas chirping outside the courtyard, dragging Gu Jiu back to reality from the hellish picture.
She lay on the tub in prostration, and her eyes were dyed red.
After carefully going through those memories from his mind again, Gu Jiu also truly realized that he was not mistaken.
That totem is indeed exactly the same as the man today.
However, those people clearly said that they were officials......
Gu Jiu squeezed his hands stiffly, his expression was full of coldness.
No, it's not.
In her previous life, she was already a dying person in the eyes of those people, so they didn't have to lie to themselves.
And there will be nothing wrong with this totem in this life.
Then, there is only one possibility left -
It's true that they are members of the official family, but they are mixed in by the Red Lotus Sect!
Thinking of this, Gu Jiu took another deep breath.
There seemed to be a mess in her mind, and she tried desperately to calm herself and try to remember.
If this is the case, then the person who wanted to kill himself in his previous life must have a close connection with the Red Lotus Sect!
The answer is on the horizon.
Gu Jiu only felt that his heart was beating wildly, as if some secret had been accidentally revealed by himself.
In her previous life, even if it wasn't at the behest of Princess Tai'an, she must have been one of the participants.
So, what about these Red Lotus Sect members who have infiltrated the court, how much does Princess Tai'an know?
The words in those people's mouths, whether they deliberately guided themselves, or the "truth" they came out of being guided, Princess Tai'an is definitely not innocent!
……
This night, Gu Jiu almost stared until dawn.
It wasn't until the rooster crowed three times that the fish belly turned white that she fell asleep pinching the Buddha beads in a daze.
It's just that when I fell into a dream, I had a nightmare again.
It's still her day.
Gu Jiu remembered very well that the weather was fine that day, and her mood when she went out one day.
But this time, she seemed to be an onlooker.
I really saw the softness in Qin Zheng's eyes, as well as his words with a smile: "Come back early in the evening." ”
Getting along with Qin Zheng day and night in this life made her very familiar with men's small movements, but when she saw him unconsciously pinching her fingers, she felt sour.
That small gesture betrayed his emotions, indicating that the man was nervous at this time.
As if there was something I wanted to say, but it was so bold that it was hard to say.
Gu Jiu in his previous life didn't understand, but Gu Jiu, who was watching the dream, suddenly blessed his soul.
With such a hairy boy-like demeanor, it is clearly ...... Have affection for her!
This fact, Rao is Gu Jiu in his dream, he couldn't help but feel hot in his heart.
But the thought of what would happen next made her breathless again.
However, Gu Jiu in his previous life didn't know anything.
With the rare tenderness of a man, she embarked on that dead end with no return.
The hideous man's expression was distorted, and the woman's cry mixed with the man's sneer, and finally calmed down.
Gu Jiu's face was full of tears, Rao knew that this was a dream, but he still tried to pounce on it countless times to save himself.
But she was just a shadow, and she couldn't even touch them.
She could only watch her heart break like ashes, the hairpin into her throat, and the warm blood splattered up, dazzling and red.
It was clear that she couldn't touch the entity, but at that moment, she felt blood splash on her face, hot and hot.
This is the scene before she died.
But the dream is not over.
She saw Qin Zheng.
The courtyard is brightly lit, and the stone road in the courtyard is ...... on both sides
Filled with peonies.
In such a season, the flowers are all gone, I don't know where Qin Zheng moved so many peony flowers, sending fragrance with the wind, soaking people's hearts.
The gate of the Guijiu Courtyard was open, and Qin Zheng walked into the courtyard step by step with a woman in his arms.
That's Gu Jiu.
Her body was stained with blood, and it had become a dark brown, Qin Zheng rarely wore a white dress, and at this time, she was stained with blood, as if she had bloomed a cold plum.
Usually, he is the most clean person, and he has to throw away his clothes even when the torture is stained with blood, but when he was holding Gu Jiu at this time, his movements were gentle and precious.
The girl in his arms, who had long been exhausted, was like a peerless treasure he had recovered.
When standing in the sea of flowers, it was clear that his face was expressionless, but Gu Jiu could clearly feel the gloom and coldness in the man's eyes.
It's just that when he looked down at the woman in his arms, those emotions faded instantly, and only tenderness remained.
He said, "Ah Jiu, we are home. ”
