This time, Wen Xingying's reaction was much more flat, "What's the matter, I haven't done anything again." ”

Xuan Ying spread his hands, "Forget it, this is your business, I don't care about it, as for your task," he sighed faintly, "You just don't have much experience, you usually leave all the tasks to us to do, in fact, the study of large families has a dark grid is really idle, as long as you observe carefully, carefully knock on the bookshelves, tables, chairs or something, it is easy to find the mechanism, you have five days, it is really a waste." He smiled again, "Of course, this is just my personal opinion. ”

"Ying'er is amazing," Wen Xingying said approvingly, "No wonder only Qi'er can compete with you." ”

Xuan Ying smiled lightly, "How long will Brother Ying stay here this time?" ”

"What's wrong? Can't bear me? That Wen Xingying teased him.

"It's weird." A white eye for him.

Located on the outskirts of Suzhou, the Qingtian School is a large manor with a radius of 1,000 feet. This morning, the old gang leader was drinking tea in the room, and the servant came to report the visit of Mr. Xingying from the Red Flame Villa.

Cheng Lao was a little surprised when he heard this, Chiyan Villa is now the supreme status of martial arts in the rivers and lakes, Mr. Zuo Tingfeng has extraordinary ability, and he has also had a few encounters with him, and Sun Nuqi is very good friends with him, and the two continue to write letters.

After thinking about it, Cheng Lao asked the housekeeper to welcome Mr. Situ into Qiuyan Hall, and sent someone to ask the little lady to come to meet Mr. Situ.

Qiu Yan Hall is a house dedicated to meeting guests in Qingtian Villa, Wen Xingying followed the housekeeper all the way through a path, along the way saw a small pond, and a beautiful apricot forest, and finally passed through the moon cave door to Qiu Yan Hall.

Thinking that Feng let himself come to Suzhou in advance, he must have made himself do enough courtesy, and he couldn't let Chiyan Villa lose face, although the people in the rivers and lakes are informal, but it is always good to express respect, so he asked Xuan Ying to accompany Ye Linglan to talk to relieve his boredom, and he picked the good weather to come to meet Cheng Lao's helper.

When he arrived at Qiuyan Hall, the housekeeper let a person report and let Wen Xingying in, and now there was an old man sitting on the main seat, who looked to be in his fifties, in good spirits and full of energy, and he could see the majesty of his youth; There is also a girl about eighteen years old on the guest seat, dressed in white, with a beautiful face like jade, her hair is pulled up with a hosta at will, she looks free and uninhibited, she is not a stunning beauty of the country and the city, but she is also delicate and elegant, and generous, presumably this is Miss Sun of this family.

"In the next Wen Xingying, it is really a blessing to see Cheng Lao's gang leader today." That Wen Xingying arched his hand.

"Mr. Situ is too polite, please sit down and watch the tea." The old man waited for Wen Xingying to sit down before he spoke again: "The old man has heard of Mr. Situ's name for a long time, and when I met it today, I felt that there are talented people in the country. ”

Although it was a greeting, it was also the true thoughts of Cheng Lao's heart. The moment the Wen Xingying appeared outside the door, Cheng Lao saw that this young man was standing tall and jade, and the jade tree was in the wind, and he was chic and wanton in a royal blue dress; Look at the face again, handsome and extraordinary, different from the enchanting of women, but heroic, the smile on the face is just like the spring breeze, making the whole face soft, under the sun, like a fairy. Although Cheng Lao is not a person who judges people by their appearance, this Mr. Situ is a disciple of Red Flame Villa, and he must be talented and capable, so he loves this person very much.

The old gang leader laughed. Wen Xingying smiled, "Several of the boys in our mountain villa have all grown up listening to your great reputation, as a role model, we can only keep catching up, and if we want to surpass, we don't know what year and month it will take." ”

Cheng Lao laughed, and didn't say anything more, but introduced the girl to Wen Xingying and said: "This is Qi'er, the granddaughter of the old man, Qi'er, I haven't seen your big brother Situ soon." ”

"Brother Situ," the girl said, "I can't learn your polite words, I want to ask Brother Zuo how he is doing?" ”

The straightforward words and eager look made Wen Xingying's heart touch. Yes, you haven't learned, because you are still young, and I, once upon a time, have become an old fritter who has been rolling on the rivers and lakes for many years.

But you don't know, what I envy most is you, clean and clear, pure and immaculate, as transparent as water. There are talented people in the country, but it's not me, it's you......

"Feng he's fine," Wen Xingying smiled, "It's just that I have to deal with too many letters from friends every day, and I'm a little anxious." ”

That Wen Xingying said this deliberately, in order to tease the girl, she really blushed, "I also wrote because I missed him very much, is he very busy?" ”

Wen Xingying smiled, "Don't worry, he likes to read his friends' letters the most, if you don't write it, he knows it, and he will definitely blame me for being troublesome." ”

"Okay," Old Gang Leader Cheng stood up and said, "Qi'er, today you will accompany your brother Situ to have a good day, and my old man will not hinder you young people." ”

"Grandpa......" Cheng Ziqi wanted to say no, but Cheng Lao waved his hand, and the old man left with a smile.

"Then, Brother Situ," Cheng Ziqi said to Wen Xingying with great interest, "I'll take you to eat Suzhou's most famous squirrel fish." ”

"Okay." Wen Xingying smiled dotingly, although she had eaten it many times, but the girl kindly invited, and she still readily agreed, just because she liked her refreshing breath very much.

In the afternoon of that day, Cheng Ziqi went to Wen Xingying's annex to sit down, and said that he had been too busy in the past few days, because it coincided with his grandfather's birthday, and many martial arts people from the rivers and lakes came.

"Really? But I don't have a place to live, what should I do? ”

“……”

This is a voice that is not unfamiliar, but also very familiar, that Wen Xingying turned to look at it, and couldn't help but be stunned - the person outside the door was dressed in white, handsome, about twenty-three or four-year-old, with some innocent smiles on his face, soft and tranquil, making people feel like a spring breeze, and it was a very warm and comfortable atmosphere.

"Hibiscus?" That Wen Xingying said in surprise.

This person was one of Zuo Tingfeng's friends when he first entered the rivers and lakes, and he was also his best friend in the early years, Yang Mingjin, the young gang leader of the Dusk Yang Gang.

"Brother Ying, Qi'er," Yang Mingjin beckoned the two of them, "Long time no see." ”

"It's been a long time." That Wen Xingying let Yang Mingjin into the house, and introduced Ye Linglan to him, and Yang Mingjin politely arched his hand.

And Cheng Ziqi's reaction was a little strange, he stood up, his face was a little pale, his lips trembled, and his eyes fell on Yang Mingjin and he didn't look away. "You...... You're here......"

"You ......" Wen Xingying was a little puzzled, why was Ziqi's reaction so strange?

He didn't say much, the four of them sat down and chatted, it turned out that Yang Mingjin also came to celebrate the birthday of Cheng Lao's gang leader.

As for the question of his residence, Wen Xingying knew that Cheng Ziqi had used almost all the methods to arrange guests, and even used the Qinglou, so he had an idea to ask her if there was anyone else on the bed, and she said no, so Wen Xingying troubled her to temporarily "take in" Yang Mingjin.

After they left, Wen Xingying suddenly remembered that Ziqi was a girl, but she actually agreed to her request...... It must be because she and Hibiscus are friends.

On the way back to the Qingtian Sect, Yang Mingjin secretly grabbed Cheng Ziqi's hand several times, but was thrown away by that person. For the last time, Yang Mingjin firmly held the hands of the people around him, and his fingers were interlocked, which was the posture when the two held hands in the past, staggered and entangled, and it was difficult to separate.

Cheng Ziqi struggled twice and didn't break away, so he simply went with him, he hadn't held this hand for a long time, and he had the urge to cry at this moment.

I haven't seen him for three years, he has matured a lot, and he is a little more attractive than before, is it because he has become a parent? What is his wife like? And does he have a child?

Yang Mingjin has also been paying attention to the girl around her, why, I feel that she is thinner, and the bright smile like the morning sun at that time no longer exists. However, she still tugs at her heartstrings, happy for her, sad for her. At the moment of reunion, seeing the tears flashing in her eyes, I really wanted to take her into my arms and love her, I really wanted to tell her that I had been missing her day and night for three years, and I wanted her to know that from the moment I held her hand again, I had decided never to part with her again.

The two returned to the Qingtian faction, went straight to Ziqi's room, closed the door, and there were only two people in the room who were still holding hands.

Yang Mingjin smiled, "I haven't seen you for a long time, I really miss you." However, in the future, we will be together like this, never separated, and hand in hand until we grow old, okay? Yang Mingjin said softly in Cheng Ziqi's ear.

The warm breath in his ears made Cheng Ziqi a little unbearable, and his words were moving, but thinking of the current situation of the two of them, he couldn't help but feel desolate in his heart, sighed, and said:

"Jin, let's not meet in the future, you are a family person, our relationship has never been known, I don't want us to hide like this for the rest of our lives, simply, that's it, it's okay to break it."

After speaking, there was a sharp pain in his heart, three years has been difficult, not to mention a lifetime, he will suffer for love all his life, but he can't, he has no fate with him after all......

Unexpectedly, the people around her pushed her away vigorously, and her shoulder was grabbed by him a little painful, Cheng Ziqi looked at the man in front of him in confusion, only to see him frowning, as if suppressing anger, "Who said I got married?" ”

“……”

Cheng Ziqi couldn't react a little, "Three years ago, you weren't ......"

"Not really." Yang Mingjin was dissatisfied: "My old man forced me to get married, how could I eat that, I sent someone to rob the bride halfway, and said to the old man that if he forced me to marry again, I would run away from home and elope with you, and he would rely on me to inherit the family business, so naturally I didn't dare to mention it again." ”

"Ah......" Cheng Ziqi didn't expect this to be the case.

"Ahh Yang Mingjin smiled slyly, "You haven't seen me yet, have you cut off relations with me?" ”

"But...... ...... your family" Cheng Ziqi hesitated.

"I took over all the family property in three years, and now even if I am not there, those industries will not go out of business, as long as those boys in the Red Flame Villa don't destroy it." Yang Mingjin joked.

"That's right, Hibiscus, you're really good." Cheng Ziqi smiled.

"That's it," Yang Mingjin said proudly, "Then you ......"

Before the words were finished, they were directly blocked by the people who went down to the girl, and the words of protest were swallowed into the belly, the lips and tongues were entangled, and they whispered softly, such a drunken night.

Cheng Lao's birthday day guests are like clouds, especially lively, this year's banquet is not much different from previous years, but it is also different, Cheng Haoli looked at the Wen Xingying sitting at the main table, talking and laughing, expensive but not arrogant, is a model of a generation of martial arts leaders; Also, Yang Mingjin, who was sitting next to his granddaughter, was calm and awe-inspiring, if he hadn't had some entanglements with his granddaughter, he would definitely appreciate an excellent young man like him, but ......

In fact, Yang Mingjin did not get married, Cheng Haoli knew about it as early as three years ago, but he didn't tell his grandson that he was dead to him, but now, that person got all the family property and came back to find his granddaughter, and Ziqi treated him as always, as if the two had never been separated. How should I deal with this matter and what is the best outcome?

However, on the third day after the end of the birthday banquet, Cheng Haoli was found dead on the ground in his room, with a sharp blade on his neck, and a jade pendant symbolizing his status on the ground.

A bolt from the blue!

The whole village fell into a state of grief and panic, and the original joy was now only a gloomy cloud.

The saddest person is naturally Cheng Ziqi, she lay on Cheng Haoli's corpse and cried bitterly, tearing her heart and lungs, and her liver and intestines were broken.

Yang Mingjin was the only person who sensibly observed the scene of the crime, he looked around, there was no trace of the window being opened, and there were no footprints on the ground, indicating that the murderer was a very cautious person; Cheng Lao was lying under the bed, dressed in pajamas, there was no trace of a fight in the room, the wound on his neck turned outward, and the blood was bright red, indicating that it was caused before death, and the blow was fatal; Cheng Lao's eyes were wide open, obviously incredulous, was it unbelievable the true identity of the murderer, or was it unbelievable that he was killed so quickly?

The only thing that is certain at the moment is that the murderer's martial arts must be at least five times higher than Cheng Lao.

Yang Mingjin picked up the jade pendant again, it was a purple diamond-shaped jade pendant, the color was gorgeous, the brilliance was dazzling, this color of jade was very rare, he had only heard of this kind of beautiful jade produced in the country, and the quantity was very small, the price was invaluable, it has always been only the royal family of the country will have, and he couldn't help but wonder, this jade pendant is not a person belonging to the royal family of the country?

Yang Mingjin carefully observed this jade pendant and found that there was a small "Lan" character engraved on the bottom of the back of the jade pendant.

His heart tightened, and Yang Mingjin thought of a face, but he couldn't believe it, so he could only hold the girl next to him into his arms and comfort her softly.

That Wen Xingying knew about this in the afternoon of the same day, and it was Yang Mingjin who came to inform him. When she saw the jade pendant in Yang Mingjian's hand, Ye Linglan was obviously taken aback.

"What, Mr. Li, isn't this jade pendant familiar to you?" Yang Mingjin asked coldly.

That Wen Xingying had never seen this jade pendant, so he also looked at Ye Linglan suspiciously.

"This is ......" Ye Linglan explained in a low voice, this jade pendant was given to him by his father when he was a child, he has always carried it with him, never left, and there are very few people who know this piece of jade, if it weren't for Yang Mingjin coming over today, he himself wouldn't know that this piece of jade was lost.

Hearing him say this, the other two couldn't help frowning.

"Brother Ying, do you know the origin of this piece of jade?" Yang Mingjin asked Wen Xingying.

"I don't know." Wen Xingying shook his head.

Yang Mingjin was a little speechless, this piece of jade can prove Ye Linglan's true identity, that Wen Xingying couldn't even figure out the details of the person, so he dared to take it with him rashly?

Yang Mingjin turned to Ye Linglan and said: "Mr. Li, it's not that I don't believe you, it's just that the person who died is Qi's grandfather, he will definitely not give up, this piece of jade is the only clue now, I haven't told Qi about this yet, I hope you can help me find the real culprit." ”

Ye Linglan was just about to nod, but Wen Xingying spoke: "That is to say, someone took Lan'er's jade pendant and killed Qi'er's grandfather to blame Lan'er, Jin, do you also think Lan'er did it?" That Wen Xingying looked at Yang Mingjian.

"I don't want it to be him, but this is his personal jade pendant, which can be thrown at the scene of the crime, if you are replaced, what would you think?"

“…… Okay, I'll go to Qingtian Mountain Villa with you now, and I'll go and talk to Qi'er. ”

"Lan'er has been with me last night, and has never left half a step, it is impossible to kill Cheng Lao's gang leader, Qi'er, are you willing to believe me?"

There were only four people in Cheng Ziqi's room: Wen Xingying, Ye Linglan, Cheng Ziqi, and Yang Mingjin, Cheng Ziqi was still in tears, and he still did not come out of the grief of losing his loved ones.

Yang Mingjin glanced at Cheng Ziqi and saw that he was absent-minded, so he could only answer for him: "I asked the guards who patrolled last night, and they didn't see anything abnormal, which shows that the martial arts of the people who came here are extremely high." Also, the wound on the neck of the old gang leader was caused by a very thin weapon, maybe it was Mr. Li's Ye Feng needle. Besides, the jade is Mr. Li's personal carry, and he has been with you, Brother Ying, I don't know how many people in the world can steal your things. ”

"That can only show that person is also strong in martial arts, besides, Lan'er and Cheng Lao have no grievances, why kill him, and besides, will he use his own unique weapon to kill people, so that you can find the murderer so easily?"

"I also know this, but I don't know why the murderer doesn't blame anyone, but he wants to blame Mr. Li!"

"I want to know too! That's good, you give me five days, I'll find out the real culprit, and give you an explanation! ”

"Okay, I will also send someone to investigate, if the murderer is really Mr. Li, you must not tolerate indulgence!"

"Farewell!"

……

After the two left, Yang Mingjin sighed, took Cheng Ziqi's waist and took him to the bed to lie down, leaned over and kissed his eyes and lips, held his hand and said softly:

"People can't be resurrected after death, Qi, you mourn, the old gang leader doesn't want you to be like this."
