Chapter 20: River Ripples

"Where is he?"

"Went into the house." The boy pointed to the magnificent house next to him and said, "He also said that if he doesn't come out when I wait for you, it means that he can't come out, please save him." ”

Chen Fansheng looked at the plaque on the door of the house: County Command House.

"He gave you so much money and only said these few words?" He asked.

The boy shook his head vigorously, "He also asked me to take you somewhere."

The boy led him to an abandoned house, where a strange smell swept towards him like a storm, and the boy twisted his fingers around his nose.

"It stinks!"

Chen Fansheng frowned slightly, and when he saw something in the yard, his eyes sank, it was a carriage!

……

A month has passed in the blink of an eye, and the weather is gradually refreshing. The night sky in the countryside at night is still full of stars, but after staying in the open air for a long time, you will inevitably feel cool.

That night, the people of the village who were enjoying the cool were withdrawn early from their houses and the lights were extinguished. There is a calm silence in the village.

I forgot to put the bamboo chair in the alley and almost tripped over passers-by at night.

He turned around lightly, brushing the raw edges of the bamboo chair, and didn't make a sound.

The dog in the yard drooped its head, yawned lazily, closed its eyes, and saw a shadow passing by the bright moon in a trance, it propped up its front half and stretched its neck to sniff, without the slightest smell of life, and lay down with peace of mind.

At the foot of the mountain behind Caojia Village, a man dressed in black and wearing a black gauze hat stood with his back to the empty moon.

Hearing the movement, he didn't turn around.

"Is the news clear?" Chen Huaming looked at his back and asked.

The man nodded, but without making a sound, threw a bamboo tube. At the same time, there was also a hidden weapon.

Chen Huaming was not surprised at all, and stood still.

I saw that the hidden weapon passed by his ear in a thrilling way, and was caught by someone behind a big tree 100 meters behind him.

"Don't do it, he's my son!" Chen Huaming glanced back, with a somewhat commanding tone.

The man in black didn't make a sound, and disappeared into the dense forest between breaths, like a wind shadow.

Chen Fansheng walked out from behind the big tree and looked at the hidden weapon in the moonlight.

It was a dagger-shaped hidden weapon the size of a palm, but it had no handle, one long and one short on both sides, both with sharp edges, and in the middle was a ring, with words engraved on the ring, and he was about to take a closer look, but he was taken away by Chen Huaming.

"Who the hell is Father?" He followed him, he couldn't have been unaware, but he acquiesced in following him.

"It's someone who wants you to be safe." Chen Huaming handed him back the hidden weapon.

He took it and looked at it, and the words on it were all gone. - He actually erased the words on it with internal force!

"Remember what this secret weapon looks like, and bury it." He admonished.

For a moment, Chen Fansheng felt that the things in his hands were a little hot. However, he did not have the heart to explore this.

According to his instructions, he buried the secret weapon in front of Chen Huaming.

Chen Huaming asked him: "Didn't you go to collect evidence of Qi Ying's murder, why did you target me?" ”

"My father cares about brocade weaving, and I guess my father won't know that brocade weaving is difficult and be indifferent." Chen Fansheng replied, "I have collected all the evidence, and there is still one chance left, I guess my father is waiting for this opportunity." ”

"You're right, Brocade is my daughter-in-law, and I can't stand idly by. Your chances are here. Chen Huaming shook the bamboo tube in his hand and said solemnly, "Mortal, this opportunity may be life or death, you may not only not be able to save the brocade, but you will also put yourself in it." You have to think clearly! ”

Chen Fansheng looked at him.

For the first time in his life, this mysterious man, who seemed cold and violent to make the villagers stay away, and who was always silent but always confident in front of him, showed an uncertain look in front of him for the first time in his life.

He took the bamboo tube and, without the slightest hesitation, opened it.

……

Cao Zhijin sat under the eaves and pounded medicine, and Yingniang walked into the yard angrily, and walked to her without saying a word and stood still.

"Yingniang, what's wrong with you?" She asked.

Yingniang opened her mouth, as if she wanted to vent her anger through her voice, but the words became a weak tone.

"It was Steward Qi who was in charge of going to Tongrentang to get medicine that was sick, and he sent his nephew Qimeng to Tongrentang instead."

"This Qi Meng is a villain who sees the wind and steers, he saw that the son did not come to visit the Lotus Garden for a month, so he felt that the girl had eaten the son and snubbed, and took the heart protection grass and went to the Ripple Garden."

Cao Zhijin didn't ask who lived in the Ripple Garden, but the size was a master.

She said calmly: "You can tell Qiying directly about this kind of thing, just let him handle it, we don't have to worry about it." ”

Yingniang's expression changed a few times, and she hesitated: "The slave maid still thinks that the son trapped the girl in the house, and the girl is unwilling to pay attention to the son in her life." ”

Cao Zhijin said with a smile: "He promised me that I can call the herbs of Tongrentang at will, and he must always count when he speaks." ”

Yingniang lowered her head, she said the wrong thing.

Ripple Garden snatched the heart grass of the Lotus Garden.

When the news reached Qi Ying's side, his first reaction was not to fight for Cao Zhijin, but to be secretly happy.

No, it's a good laugh.

He waited for so long, and what he was waiting for was finally no longer her distant and polite smile, she was jealous!

What lives in the Ripple Garden is his little concubine, although it is a little concubine, it is also very unusual.

This was Cao Zhijin's first time in Ripple Garden, and she didn't know that there was a more chic place in this house than the Lotus Garden.

I saw that there was a grape trellis in the corner of the courtyard, and the green leaves on the shelf were lush and crawling all over the shelf, and under the shady shelf were clusters of plump fruits, exuding an attractive fragrance.

Except for the trellis, the four corners of the courtyard were planted with large rose-hearted flowers with pale pink petals.

Cao Zhijin had never seen this flower, and could not name it.

These flowers and plants have been carefully groomed, and they are in full swing in this quiet courtyard, which makes people feel good when they see it.

"You like them?" A nice voice came from behind her.

Cao Zhijin looked back and saw that the woman was wearing a long aqua blue dress, with a slender figure, white skin and snow, and her facial features were as delicate and delicate as flowers in the yard, as if she was a flower fairy who came out of the flowers.

She couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

There really is a beautiful woman in this world!

Jiang Lianyi was used to the shock in her eyes as usual, and her beautiful face did not reveal half of the arrogance.

She just looked at her quietly, as if she was very happy.

This woman is amazing!

Cao Zhijin thought to herself: She just stood there quietly and did nothing, which could make people happy.

"I like it." She nodded.

"Qiu'er." She turned her head and called for the maid.

I saw Qiu'er take a pair of scissors, cut off the flowers that were in full bloom with an expressionless face, put them in a basket, and respectfully handed them to Cao Zhijin's hand.

Cao Zhijin took a step back, looking at those bare flower branches, and for some reason, she had the feeling that the basket was full of heads.

Seeing this, Jiang Lianyi was not surprised at all, she took the basket, stuffed it into her hand, and said softly: "If you like it, take it." ”

Her amiable aura hadn't changed, but it made Cao Zhijin shudder.

Cao Zhijin shook his head.

She added: "Don't be surprised, I am such a purposeful person. I thought you were saying that you liked it as if you wanted to take it for yourself, but in fact most people do, and it seems that I want to do it. ”
