Chapter 146: Striking the Grass and Startling the Snake
Ah Jin and Song Wenyu had a cold war for several days, and neither side took the initiative to talk to each other. Ah Jin is angry in his heart, and Song Wenyu is afraid of making Ah Jin even more angry. The two of them were lying on the same bed, but the middle was separated by the Chu River and the Han Realm, which made Ah Jin feel very uncomfortable.
Her growing emaciation is visible to the naked eye. Ah Zhen was very distressed when she saw it, so she would always persuade her gently, "Girl, don't sulk with your uncle." You see that he has been home for the past two days, and every day is getting better and more night, and sometimes the slave and maid can see him standing outside the house for a long time without pushing the door and entering the house. Why do you bother? What can't be said clearly. ”
Ah Jin lay on the chaise longue, turning his head to look out at the just right winter sun. She didn't know how to explain the current state to Ah Zhen, even if she tried her best, how could a little girl who had never been in love and was as simple as a fawn understand.
So she said a perfunctory sentence weakly, and then didn't say anything else, "Ah Zhen, there are some things that you don't understand. ”
Ah Zhen was a little unconvinced, and said, "What's so difficult about this." It's nothing more than my uncle's indecisive temperament, which makes you unhappy girl. ”
Ah Jin shook his head, but didn't explain much. In fact, she didn't know what she was angry about. Is it because Song Wenyu still has pity in his heart when he mentions Meng Yidi, or because of his own changes.
Ah Jin thought for a while, and suddenly said: "Ah Zhen, if I tell you that your girls are now the same as those deep ladies who can only think crankily, do you believe it?" ”
Ah Zhen was stunned for a moment, and then retorted: "How come? What a girl's posture, and how could it be comparable to those ordinary women! ”
"But that's the case...... Ah Jin sighed and said helplessly, "In the end, I'm actually jealous." Jealous of her place in his heart......"
Because her voice was too quiet, Ah Zhen didn't hear clearly, and seeing that she was talking to herself, she also muttered and went to clean up the house. Maybe it was because the winter sun was too warm that Ah Jin fell asleep, and when he woke up again, it was already night.
Ah Jin lay on the recliner and rubbed his eyes, and through the dim light, he saw Song Wenyu sitting on the chair reading a book. She was stunned for a moment, not knowing whether to get up or continue lying down.
At this moment, Song Wenyu looked over as if he had sensed something. Seeing that she was awake, he put the scroll in his hand on the small table, "Woke up?" Is there anything uncomfortable? ”
As he spoke, he approached her and bent down slightly, probing the temperature of Ah Yuan's head with the back of his hand. After a while, he sat down with relief and said, "I thought you were sick, but it's okay, it looks fine." ”
When Ah Jin heard this, his eyes were hot, and the stuffiness that he had held in his heart before dissipated a lot. She sniffed on the small wing of her nose and stubbornly let herself cry, "Why do you think I'm sick?" I don't want to be better. ”
"As soon as I came back, Ah Zhen said you were asleep. I thought I'd sit in the study and wait for you to wake up, but you didn't wake up for more than an hour. I was worried, so I came in and watched over you. Song Wenyu said as he habitually stretched out his hand to pull up the quilt covering Ah Jin's body, "Do you still want to sleep?" If you don't want to, let's have dinner together. ”
His tone was so gentle, and his posture was so low, that it was difficult for Ah Jin to say a word. She was silent for a while, then slowly sat up, and when she was about to bend down to put on her shoes, Song Wenyu had already knelt down one step ahead and held one of her feet in her hand.
Ah Jin's face turned red, and he subconsciously wanted to pull his foot back, but Song Wenyu gently pinched her ankle, making her unable to move, "If you do this, can you be regarded as a disciple." ”
"Between husband and wife, talk about He Deng's disciples." Song Wenyu didn't raise his head, and replied calmly. As he spoke, he helped Ah Jin put on his shoes.
Seeing that he was so attentive, Ah Jin suddenly felt a little funny, "I don't know, I thought I was pregnant." ”
Song Wenyu glanced at her thoughtfully, Ah Jin was very sure, for a moment a bright light flashed in his eyes, "You are so sleepy now, maybe you are pregnant?" Why don't I ask a doctor to come and have a look now? ”
It was a joke, but Song Wenyu took it seriously, and the smile on Ah Jin's face froze, "No need...... I've just been here. ”
"So...... Let's find a doctor to come and show you, you are so weak, I don't worry. Song Wenyu listened to her words and didn't seem to be much disappointed.
Ah Jin carefully observed him, and when he saw that his expression was fine, his heart fell to the ground slightly. The two walked to the round table and sat down, waiting for Ah Zhen to take the maids to serve the food, "Okay, I'll go back and find a doctor to see." ”
"Hmm." Song Wenyu nodded, and the topic naturally turned to Luo Teng, "What did you say to Luo Teng that time?" ”
"If he wanted to know anything, he told him." Ah Jin told the truth, and winked mischievously at Song Wenyu and said, "What I didn't expect was that he only asked about the whereabouts of my senior sister, and the others didn't seem to be interested at all. ”
"So you put you ...... Did the whereabouts of the senior sister tell him? Song Wenyu looked at Ah Jin in some surprise.
"Then I won't tell him everything. It's just that he was very vaguely told that the Yunlai Inn was originally a place to open for business, and he would never turn away gold and silver treasures," Ah Jin said, recalling Luo Teng's righteous and awe-inspiring expression, and said with a disdainful expression: "I saw it, and he was quite disdainful of my remarks at first. It was as if there was a copper stench that smelled of him, but his whole eyes lit up when I said that I could indeed find the man he was looking for at the Shipping Inn. To be honest, it was a surprise to me. ”
"What a surprise. He does have your senior sister in his heart. Song Wenyu responded while slowly and methodically serving Ah Jin.
Ah Jin pursed his lips, but he didn't refute it. She can not be optimistic about this relationship, but she can't erase the stars in those eyes, "What's the use of that." The Tao is different, and they do not conspire with each other. ”
For some reason, Song Wenyu's heart trembled because of these words. He raised his head and glanced at Ah Jin thoughtfully, and saw that she was holding the rice bowl in a daze, so he urged softly: "Eat, it's not delicious if it's cold." ”
"Hmm." Ah Jin replied softly, put away his thoughts, and focused on the delicious meal on the table.
……
Ruri hadn't been to the inn for a while. Because Luo Teng would always go there from time to time to wait for the rabbit, Liuli didn't want to be the rabbit who was willing to hit the tree, so he simply didn't go. The transmission of information between the Yunlai Inn and the Tongtian Pavilion has also been made more secretive.
Unconsciously, another ten days passed, but Tongtian Pavilion still did not find Ah Yin's whereabouts. It's as if such a big person has disappeared from this world. This result made Liuli feel a little anxious, but Liang Qi'an was very calm.
"When you write to your master today, you say don't look for it. This kid seems to have something he wants to do but not finish it, and when he finishes it, he will naturally go back. ”
Knowing his son Mo Ruo's father, Liuli looked at Liang Qi'an, and always felt that there seemed to be a little smug in his words. She hesitated for a long time, and confirmed to Liang Qi'an again, "Is there really no need to look for it again?" The master is going crazy. ”
"Well, I'm not looking for it. Also tell your master not to worry. Ah Yin is not a foolish child, she knows it. ”
"Okay, I'll write to the master immediately." Ruri nodded, the brush in his hand was dipped in ink, and he began to write on the letterhead.
Liang Qi'an took a sip of tea, and looked at Liuli who was writing a letter at the desk through the steaming mist of the tea, "Do you want to send this letter back in person." ”
Liuli's hand trembled slightly, and she almost smudged the letter she had just written. She stared at the letter in a daze, but her mind went blank. Liang Qi'an saw that she didn't answer, knowing that she was in a state of confusion now, and he wouldn't give him an exact answer.
Of course, he didn't intend to get any response, "You told me before that you just wanted to meet that person again, and you didn't have any other ideas." Now that they have seen it, you have no reason to stay. ”
"Subordinate, got it." Liuli lowered her eyes, not daring to object. After all, when she made the decision to give the Afterlife Gu to others, she was already unable to protect herself. If she angered the master and the pavilion master again, she was worried that it would affect Luo Teng.
Seeing that the eccentric apprentice on weekdays was unusual, and it was still for a man who didn't know where to come out, Liang Qi'an's heart was a little uncomfortable. He put down the teacup in his hand, paced in the room with his hands, and then stood up and looked at Liuli and said, "Let you leave the royal capital quickly, it is all for your good." But you're all there, ......."
With that, Liang Qi'an pushed the door and went out. Ruri pursed her lips and remained silent. She knew that the "you" in Liang Qi'an's mouth was not only talking about her and Ah Yin, but also Ah Jin who married into the Song Mansion on behalf of others.
On the other side, Feiyun hurriedly walked in from outside. Xiao Zhan looked up and saw him standing in front of him in a hurry, and put down the book with some surprise.
"What's going on?"
He was very sure in his heart that if nothing major hadn't happened, Feiyun wouldn't be so emotionally exposed.
"That Mr. Fu has appeared." Feiyun stared at Xiao Zhan, adjusted his mood, and replied as calmly as possible. But as he said this, his hoarse voice trembled uncontrollably, making his voice sound very strange, like a leaky instrument, and the notes that were played occasionally made a sharp dissonant sound.
"Really?" Xiao Zhan stood up, saw Feiyun bowed slightly, and said, "But there are other people who have found his traces." ”
"Naturally, there is. This person didn't know what to think, and suddenly returned to the royal capital. However, he was still alert, and only sneaked back to his old mansion in the middle of the night. If it weren't for the fact that someone had been secretly staring at his house, he would actually be unaware. ”
"You mean, someone has already done it?" Xiao Zhan heard the meaning of Feiyun's words, his eyelids jumped, and his heart was beating violently. He couldn't believe that the always calm Zhu family would be so impetuous at this juncture.
"Yes, someone wanted to put him to death. However, those who wanted to kill him have been dealt with by us. When Feiyun said this, his whole person exuded a murderous aura.
"Where are the others now?" Xiao Zhan paced back and forth in the room twice, and then walked quickly to Feiyun and stood still.
"Naturally, it's still in his old house. Without your orders, we dare not act rashly. ”
"Is he hurt?"
"Nope. I don't know if this person is too lucky or the person who is being watched by the Zhu family is too reckless. When we joined the battle, although the house was in shambles, Mr. Fu was unharmed, but he was frightened. ”
"Okay, without further ado. I'll just go over and meet this Mr. Fu for a while tonight. Xiao Zhan sat down slowly, pondered for a moment, and made this decision.
Feiyun frowned slightly when he heard this, and hesitated a little, "Is this a little too abrupt?" ”
"It's not abrupt. Now that you've made a move tonight, the Queen's side will know about it by tomorrow morning at the latest. We have to fight as quickly as possible and get what Mr. Fu has in his hands. Xiao Zhan's speech was extremely fast, and after saying this, he only felt that the blood in his body was boiling.
Finally, the matter is finally coming to an end. Regardless of the outcome of this matter, for better or for worse.
"The truth of striking while the iron is hot, the subordinates understand. The subordinates are just worried that if you appear there tonight, Mrs. Ren's side will be in danger. ”
Xiao Zhan was stunned for a moment, and after being silent for a while, he said helplessly: "I have also considered this matter. But if I don't go tonight, I'm worried that we will have a lot of dreams at night, and we will be more and more passive in the future...... In this way, you let Ah Jiu and them take people to guard the Great Compassion Temple, as for Mr. Fu, there are people you trained to watch, I am relieved. ”
"Okay." Feiyun thought about it, and knew that there was no better way now, so he took Xiao Zhan and immediately set off to the old mansion where Mr. Fu lived.
In the old mansion of the Fu family, Mr. Fu sat in the room dressed in cloth. The sword and sword shadow I experienced just now seemed to be a dream, and it was so unreal. It's just that the smell of blood in the room is a constant reminder of what happened just now.
When Xiao Zhan pushed open the door and came in, he saw this plainly dressed middle-aged scholar sitting in front of the old tea table in a daze, and when the door creaked because of the old one, his body that had not moved for a long time trembled slightly.
"You ......" Mr. Fu raised his head and looked at the person by the dim kerosene lamp, but found that the person was dressed in a dark robe, and his head was shining on the curtain, and he couldn't see his face clearly. This kind of dress, he has seen countless times in Yuehua Building, there is nothing unusual.
So he lowered his head and didn't intend to ask anything. No matter who he is, his identity is not something he should know. These subtle movements of his were all seen in Xiao Zhan's eyes, and the performance of this scholar made him very satisfied. No one wants to do business with a fool, let alone a business like this.
Xiao Zhan walked across from Mr. Fu and sat down directly, "You are the Fu account book of Yuehua Building." ”
Hearing this, Mr. Fu pulled the corners of his lips and nodded slightly.
"Does Mr. Fu know why he was hunted down?" When Xiao Zhan spoke, he deliberately made his voice even deeper, and did not use the tone he usually spoke.
The middle-aged scholar raised his head and glanced at him, but stopped talking. In the end, he just shook his head.
Seeing this, Xiao Zhan laughed, "Is Mr. reluctant to say, or does he really not know?" ”
Hearing this, the scholar wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. By now, he had understood. These people who saved themselves are not good stubble, "This son, what do you want to say, just say it." ”
"I heard that there is an account book in Yuehualou, and the accounts are clear and clear. But not long after he took over a private account of Yuehualou, he evaporated from the world. I'm curious and want to know why. Did Yuehualou mistreat him, or did he know something terrible. If you don't leave, you will lose your life sooner or later. ”
As soon as Xiao Zhan's words fell, a trace of embarrassment appeared on Mr. Fu's face. Xiao Zhan could see that he was struggling very much in his heart, but he didn't break it. The two of them sat quietly, waiting for one of them to speak first.
After a long time, I only heard the middle-aged scholar sigh softly. The body that had been sitting straight looked a little stiff in the dim candlelight, "This boy guessed well, if the account book didn't leave at that time, he would indeed be in danger of his life." Merely...... The problem is not in the books, but in the fact that Mr. Books has stumbled upon a list. ”
"List?" Xiao Zhan was stunned when he heard this: "What list." ”
Mr. Fu lifted his eyelids to look at him, then reached into his underwear and pulled out a small letterhead. The letterhead was yellowed and rolled into a finger-sized cylinder. Pinched in Mr. Fu's hand, a small one, if you don't look carefully, I really don't know what this thing is.
Xiao Zhan stared at the letterhead in his hand, and the hand on his knee subconsciously tightened a little.
"Childe, after handing in this list, will you still be able to get out of here alive?" Mr. Fu was not in a hurry to hand over the talisman. He looked at Xiao Zhan with some despair, his eyes were a little unwilling, and more of a desire for survival.
"Yes." Xiao Zhan replied succinctly. The middle-aged scholar didn't know whether to believe it or not, he tugged at the corners of his lips, and found that he had no other choice but to believe in this man.
I saw him silently put the letterhead on the table, and sat down on the cold wooden bench again, decadent as if he were a prisoner on the verge of execution. Xiao Zhan glanced at the letterhead on the table, and didn't rush to get it.
"How is it going to prove to me, sir, that this list is indeed available?"
"Childe can open the list and randomly select one person to come out, and you will know it at a check." Mr. Fu seemed to know that Xiao Zhan would answer like this early on, and replied weakly.
"Okay, then I'll be wronged for a few days. After confirming that this thing was useful, he escorted him to where he wanted to go. So saying, he reached out and took the letterhead, took it in his palm, and walked away.
Soon after he left, the two men in black who were guarding the room covered Mr. Fu's eyes with a black cloth, and the two of them carried him and disappeared into the night.
On the way back to the palace, Xiao Zhan had been repeatedly scrutinizing the conversation he had with the middle-aged scholar just now. Seeing that he was about to arrive in front of the palace, he suddenly said, "Master, you must help me settle this Mr. Fu." ”
"Yes," Feiyun responded, then looked at Xiao Zhan and said, "It's just that Lord Wang, do you really want to personally verify the authenticity of this list?" If you startle the snake, what should you do? ”
"We've already scared the snake," Xiao Zhan said in a heavy tone. When he decided to take this step, he had already prepared for the worst, "Master, tomorrow morning, I will give you the list of investigations." After verifying the authenticity, let this scholar go. ”
Feiyun listened to his command and nodded silently. Now that Xiao Zhan had made up his mind, he didn't want to say anything more.
……
Liuli waited in the Green Willow Villa for several days, but did not wait for Liang Qi'an to come back. To her surprise, Ah Yin had news. And this news was brought to her by Ah Jin.
"Why are you better informed than mine today?" When Liuli and Ah Jin met in Lan Yin Ji, they joked.
"It's not that I'm well-informed. It was Ah Yin who got on the fleet of the Shen family to come to the royal capital, and it happened that Shen Dalangjun was also on that merchant ship. After going back and forth like this, I knew Ah Yin's identity. Ah Jin smiled and took a sip of tea.
"So, the old lady of the Song family is saved?" Liuli listened to Ah Jin's words and immediately asked.
"Whether it was saved or not, I don't know yet. I only know that Shen Dalangjun did get the herb used to save his life. ”
"Tsk, how much money did this cost?" Liuli couldn't help but gossip.
He didn't elaborate. No less than two hundred gold, I guess. Ah Jin said as he picked up a piece of pastry at his hand and chewed it carefully, "The fleet has two days to reach the royal capital." At that time, you should also prepare the following to pick up Ah Yin. ”
"Alright, I got it." Liuli replied with a big grin, and seemed to be back to her previous heartless appearance.
Ah Jin glanced at her, but the words that came to his lips finally did not come out. Liuli saw that she wanted to speak again, and smiled: "Say whatever you want." If you don't have something to say, it's not your style. ”
"You asked to meet me here, do you want to see Luo Teng?" As soon as Ah Jin asked, he felt that he was asking a little knowingly.
Hearing Luo Teng's name, Liuli's heart still stabbed at the tip, "If he sees that I have a close relationship with you, I'm afraid you won't be able to tell you clearly." ”
"He's been going to the inn every day lately, and there's nothing he can do about it at first sight." Ah Jin said helplessly: "Where is this the jade-faced judge who didn't smile at the beginning, he is simply a ruffian." ”
Liuli listened to Ah Jin's words, and didn't know what came to mind, but she blushed and replied in a coquettish tone, "He was." You don't have to worry about him, since Ah Yin already has news, when the pavilion master finishes the matter this time, I will go back with him. ”
"This time, you really thought it out?" Ah Jin was silent for a while, and then suddenly asked. She was a little unwilling, but she didn't know why. Perhaps, she is just unwilling to be for Liuli.
"Otherwise, what else." Liuli smiled bitterly, and said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "While my position with him is not completely opposed, it is better to leave quickly." I am afraid that I will show mercy to my men and lose my life. ”
"You won't." Ah Jin frowned, he really didn't like her to say such frustrating words. Ruri saw that she was a little angry, so she didn't say anything more.
