Chapter 175: The Aftermath of the Catastrophe

Xia Chutao returned to her Shen Lian Pavilion a little reluctantly, and she felt palpitations just by remembering what Yin Niang had just said to herself.

"Little Lady ......"

Qiaoyun could also see that Xia Chutao's state was not quite right, and Xia Chutao had been so depressed since she came back from Yin Niang.

Qiaoyun carefully supported Xia Chutao, took her to the stool, and slowly sat down with her.

Qiaoyun also saw Yin Niang talking in Xia Chutao's ear just now, but she didn't know what Yin Niang said to Xia Chutao to Xia Chutao's ability to be so down-and-out.

"Little lady, what's wrong with you?"

Qiao Yun asked on the side, but Xia Chutao was still in a trance, and there was no reaction anyway.

"Little lady? Drink tea? ”

Qiaoyun didn't know what was going on, so he asked cautiously while holding the tea.

Xia Chutao came back to her senses, looked at Qiaoyun steadily, and finally her eyes fell on the hot tea in Qiaoyun's hand.

"Ah...... Good. ”

At the beginning of Xia, Tao held the tea in his hand, but he didn't drink it for a long time, but just held it in his hand.

She carefully recalled the technique of Yin Niang just now, and the strength of her hand.

Obviously, Yin Niang is also a martial arts practitioner, and that kind of hand strength is not something that a casual weak woman can have. In other words, Yin Niang is not as weak as she usually seems...... Everything is pretended.

And what about her rural identity?

"If it were a woman from the countryside, how could she have such skills......"

Xia Chutao was thinking about it herself, and couldn't help but mutter.

She couldn't help but think of what Bai Ling had told her before, Yin Niang's purpose had always been Fu Rin...... With such skills and what Bai Ling said to him, Xia Chutao was a little worried in his heart.

Yin Niang's arrival was very sudden, if it weren't for the fact that there was indeed a child with Fu Rin around her, the origin would indeed be suspicious.

So what exactly does she want to do to Fu Rin?

At the beginning of the summer, all the details that he could think of in his heart were carefully detailed, but he didn't have a clue at all.

Xia Chutao, who was distracted, didn't notice that his hand was tilting slightly, and poured the hot tea directly into his hand without paying attention.

"Shhhh

The hot pain in the palm of his hand was directly agitated Xia Chutao came back to his senses, and looked at his red hand that had been burned a little at a loss.

When Qiaoyun saw Xia Chutao like this, he immediately made a distressed voice on the side, stuffed the silk silk on his body into Xia Chutao's hand, and then took away the teacup that Xia Chutao was holding in his hand.

"Why is the little lady so careless? What the hell is the little lady thinking? I haven't been able to give up since I came back, so what did Yin Niang say to Xiao Niang? ”

Xia Chutao frowned and wiped the water stains on his body with Qiaoyun's silk handkerchief, the originally hot water became cold after being dried on his body for a long time in winter, and there was a trace of pain in the skin.

"Little lady hurry up and go down and change your clothes, I'm afraid of freezing in winter."

Xia Chutao looked at the wet clothes on his body, and felt that he really had to go down and change his clothes.

This is what Qiao Yun commanded,

"I'm going to change my clothes, you called Shoutian over during this time, I have something important to ask him."

"Okay."

Qiao Yun took the order and went down, and Xia Chutao got up from the stool to change her clothes a little distracted.

After a while of changing clothes, Qiaoyun happened to lead Shoutian back.

Shou Tian saw Xia Chutao come out, lifted his robe and knelt in front of Xia Chutao, and asked.

"What's the urgency of the little lady, calling Shoutian over in such a hurry?"

Natsuchu Momo sat down in her seat again, muttered for a moment, and asked Shoutian.

"I asked you to go to the countryside in the hunting ground to inquire about Yin Niang, did you inquire?"

As soon as Shouda heard that this was the case, he immediately replied to the early summer peach road.

"Back to Xiao Niang's words, I went to inquire clearly according to Xiao Niang's words. But the people who inquired didn't find anything strange, this Yin Niang's surname was Xu, her original name was Xu Fang, and she was a peasant girl from an ordinary farming family. ”

"It's true that as I knew before, when the general went hunting with the emperor a few years ago, the general had sex with her after drinking, and this is why he was pregnant with the little master."

"That is, this year, a bunch of old people from the farming family died, and this is the desperate way to come to the general's mansion to ask the general for protection. There's nothing out of the ordinary. ”

Xia Chutao listened carefully, and after listening to it like this, he really didn't find anything wrong.

"It's weird...... Doesn't it make sense? ”

Xia Chutao recalled today's Yin Niang's body style, she didn't say that she was trained by herding cattle and plowing the fields, this kind of body style was felt in Fu Rin or Liu Hetong's body, and such an internal strength was indeed a person who practiced martial arts.

Such a person can only be a peasant girl?

I didn't believe it when I killed Xia Chutao.

"Nothing else suspicious?"

Xia Chutao didn't give up, how could he think that this Yin Niang couldn't be so simple, it must be that Shoutian and these people missed something when they checked.

"I told you to check carefully, but have you checked carefully?"

Shouda immediately fell prostrate on the ground and replied respectfully.

Indeed, they have been carefully checked, and there is something strange about them...... It's about the death of the second farmer. ”

"How to die?"

Xia Chutao frowned, probably thinking that this should be the breakthrough point of the matter in front of him.

"Yes, when we were investigating before, most of the villagers said that the second elder died in a fire. But when we went to Yin Niang's old house to investigate, the neighbor said that there were bandits who broke into the house and killed the second elder. The sword and sword shadow are really visible. ”

"What about Yin Niang?"

Xia Chu Tao asked.

"It is said that Yin Niang was working in the fields at that time and knew nothing about what was going on in her house."

Xia Chutao sneered after hearing this.

"It's interesting, it's obviously the same place, but there are different things like this. What's even more coincidental is that when such a big thing happened, Yin Niang happened to be not present...... Shouda, whose words do you think are more credible? ”

Shoutian heard Xia Chutao ask this, but he lowered his head directly,

Shouda didn't dare to assert this matter, but it was too long to find something more valuable. If the little lady is still not satisfied, I will ask my brothers to check it again. ”

"If it were her, I guess the traces would indeed be wiped clean."

When Xia Chutao heard this, she could almost make a conclusion in her heart.

This Yin Niang is by no means kind, let alone an ordinary peasant girl. I don't know what kind of secret is hidden in her, at least not as simple as it seems.

For a period of time, Yin Niang's impression in the house has always been that of a person who speaks directly, has a bold temperament and is a little vulgar.

But Xia Chutao can deduce from what she said today and the news that Shou Tian brought back, this Yin Niang is probably not that simple at all.

"What the hell is going on......

Xia Chumo pinched her chin and fell into deep thought.

"Little ...... Little lady, what do you mean by that? ”

Shouda looked at Xia Chutao with a solemn and serious expression, and he didn't know what was going on. After all, this matter was already strange enough when Xia Chutao wanted to investigate it herself.

Xia Chutao's tone, Shoutian thought that Yin Niang had done something illegal, and he was also a little scared in his heart.

Xia Chutao, who came back to his senses, glanced at Shoutian lightly, and just waved his hand.

"It's fine. According to what you said before, you are investigating this matter well, and in addition, call some people to look around the General's Mansion to see if you can find Miss Bai Ling. ”

Xia Chutao thought that with Bai Ling's state, if he was alone outside, he would definitely not be able to go far.

Finding Bai Ling is the top priority now, and it is an urgent matter. Xia Chutao always felt that the manpower of his own faction was not enough, and he looked at Bizhu and Qiaoyun around him.

"Don't stand still, you two, go out and look for it."

"Yes."

……

Heavy snow presses the streets, such heavy snow is generally rarely frequented, even if it is the capital when the weather is cold, there are some streets that no one cares about.

Bai Ling was wrapped in the quilt that was thrown out with him, and even so, Bai Ling was still trembling inside.

She looked pale at the cold street in front of her, she had been left here for a while, but there was not even a single figure during this time.

Bai Ling opened his mouth with difficulty, and there was a tearing pain from his chapped lips the moment they parted.

She tried to scream, but her hoarse and dry vocal cords couldn't make a sound.

Snowflakes fell on her face, bangs, and couldn't be dissolved.

Bai Ling hugged herself tightly, she felt that she would probably freeze to death on this long street before she was tortured to death by this disease.

Just as Bai Ling was thinking this, he heard the sound of the wheels of the carriage rolling, and he came towards him with snow rustling.

She turned her head with some difficulty, and sure enough, she saw a carriage stop beside her.

Looking at the decoration of this carriage, I don't know which big family it belongs to, Bai Ling's eyes are full of longing.

She knew that if no one saved her in half a day, she would only die in the winter.

"You look unwilling."

An old voice came from inside the carriage, and Bai Ling saw the curtain of the carriage slowly open, and an old face appeared in Bai Ling's sight.

"If you don't want to die, come with me. You came out of the General's Palace, and it was of great use. ”
