Chapter 29: Like an Old Man (4)
As the saying goes, when things go wrong, there must be demons.
That Liu Weiyang has been dead for so long, why did his scabbard appear in the Folding Sword Villa?
In the middle of the night, I couldn't sleep after tossing and turning in bed, so I secretly got up and wanted to go to Bai Nuoling's room to explore the reality, but I ran into a black shadow sneakily walking towards the backyard.
I tried to follow him as lightly as possible, and I saw him sneaking into a study, and I wanted to follow him to the window to see what he wanted to do, but he was attacked by a mysterious person from behind.
This mysterious man's martial arts are very high, I played a few tricks with him, and finally he was pressed against the wall, and when he was about to struggle to shout, he heard a familiar smell, was stunned, and asked tentatively: "Rhubarb?" ”
The person behind him was also stunned for a moment, let go of me, and took a closer look in the moonlight before they recognized each other, he sighed and saluted me: "Miss Ajing." ”
I was speechless: "You don't follow Xu Kaiyang, why are you following me here?" ”
Rhubarb replied, "I followed Xu Kaiyang to come here. ”
Could it be that the man in black just now was Xu Kaiyang?
I signaled to Rhubarb to silence and sneaked into the window, wanting to see what Xu Kaiyang was doing in the study of Folding Sword Villa, but Xu Kaiyang had already disappeared from the study.
I think it was when I was working with Rhubarb that I was startled and left in a hurry.
I was a little discouraged when I cut off Xu Kaiyang's clues, thinking about it in turn, he sneaked into this study, either to steal something, or to put something, no matter what his purpose was, when the people in the Sword Folding Villa found out tomorrow morning, they would naturally know.
Seeing that it was getting late, I was also a little sleepy, so I hurriedly said goodbye to Rhubarb and went back to my room to sleep.
Early the next morning, I was awakened by a terrible scream, and the owner of this scream was still Bai Nuoling, the wife of the owner of Folding Sword Villa.
Listening to the maid who accompanied her, Bai Nuoling wanted to clean up the study for her husband in the morning, but unexpectedly found a strange jade pendant on her husband's desk.
This jade pendant is not Bai Nuoling's, nor is it the owner of the Folding Sword Villa, seeing Bai Nuoling's panicked reaction, she thinks she knows who the owner of the jade pendant is.
Stumbling and walking in the garden of Folding Sword Villa, he pulled people out of control and shouted: "It's him back, it's really him back......"
The owner of the Folding Sword Villa was happy to win Lin'er, and the owner's wife was the sister of Bai Feizhen, the sect leader of the Tianheng Dao Sect, so this full moon banquet was attended by many people with heads and faces, and Bai Nuoling's behavior was obviously a disgrace to their family.
Therefore, that morning, after the discussion between the Tianheng Dao Sect and the Folding Sword Villa, it was decided to temporarily send Bai Nuoling to the nunnery in Qiyang City to recuperate.
The explanation of Folding Sword Villa to the outside world is that since Bai Nuoling gave birth, he accidentally saw the wind, and his mood has not been normal, and he has long shown some signs of madness.
But when I look at Bai Norling's appearance, it's not as simple as that.
Therefore, let Rhubarb secretly pay attention to Bai Phong's whereabouts, and that night, Rhubarb came back and brought me back two sentences.
He said that he followed Bai Feizhen and the owner of the Folding Sword Villa to their study, and heard the owner confronting Bai Feizhen, and seemed not very satisfied with the matter of sending Bai Nuoling to the nunnery.
And Bai Fei's reaction was even more strange, he was warning Qi Zhao, asking Qi Zhao not to forget why he had promised Bai Nuoling to him in the first place.
Qi Zhao is the name of the owner of Folding Sword Mountain Villa, and Bai Tingyao told me about this matter.
Hearing Qi Zhao's name, I faintly felt that this surname was a little familiar, thought about it, and suddenly realized, Bai Tingyao told me about a person before, the eldest lady of Folding Sword Villa, Qi Jia.
More than ten years ago, together with Bai Lingli, Liu Weiyang was slight, and he was humiliated and committed suicide by drawing his sword.
Bai Tingyao said that it turned out that their Bai family and Folding Sword Villa did have a marriage contract, but it was not Qi Zhao and Bai Nuoling, but Qi Jia and Bai Feizhen's younger brother, Bai Lingli's brother Bai Yixuan.
Because Qi Jia was slighted by Liu Weiyang and committed suicide in order to protect his chastity, the Bai family was grateful for Qi Jia's chastity, and saw that Qi Zhao was infatuated with Bai Nuoling, so he married his own girl to Folding Sword Villa.
Liu Weiyang is the apprentice of Yuxu Kunlun Sect, the former head of Yuxu Kunlun Gate, and one of the famous seven sons of Kunlun, about his light Bai Lingli and Qi Jia, and then killed by Bai Feizhen, there are many doubts, not to mention Yuxu Kunlun Gate, that is, the entire Jianghu martial arts are a little unbelievable, Kunlun Gate at that time, headed by Xu Jingrong, asked the Bai family for justice, and the two sides were at odds with each other, until the appearance of the two people, things took a turn for the better.
The first one is the eldest lady of the Bai family, Bai Lingli, Bai Lingli loves Liu Weiyang, this matter is known to the world, if it is not really this, she should not believe that she will frame the person she likes, and she is still a girl's family, at that time, no girl was willing to joke about her innocence, so Bai Lingli said that Liu Weiyang had slighted her, and this matter is true nine times out of ten.
The second person is Qi Zhao, the owner of Folding Sword Villa, Qi Zhao is Qi Jia's elder brother and can be regarded as the victim's family, and his testimony and attitude are especially important for the conviction of Liu Weiyang.
Because these two people insisted on biting Liu Weiyang's drunken murder, in the absence of any evidence at all, everyone believed that Liu Weiyang had raped Qi Jia and Bai Lingli, and Yuxu Kunlun Gate, because of this matter, not only could not hold the Bai family accountable for their killing of Liu Weiyang, but also apologized to the Bai family for various apologies.
I privately wondered, if Liu Weiyang was really innocent of death, why was Bai Nuoling so afraid, what was the reason for her fear, and what role did this lady of the owner of the Sword Folding Mountain Villa play in these past events?
It's a pity that Bai Nuoling was sent to the nunnery by the Tianheng Dao Sect, and he was guarded by people on the inner and outer three floors, and he couldn't get close at all.
It wasn't until the day of the full moon banquet in the Folding Sword Villa that she finally saw Bai Nuoling again, because she had been recuperating in the nunnery for a few days, her spirit was barely better, holding the infant child, and accompanying Qi Zhao to take care of the guests.
Because of Bai Feizhen and Bai Lingli, I was afraid that they would see me, so I could only pull Rhubarb to hide in the dark, watching the movements of the Bai family while monitoring Xu Kaiyang's actions.
Holding a chicken leg in his hand and giving Rhubarb another one, Rhubarb turned his head and looked at me with a puzzled expression, I said with embarrassment: "The little flower girl in the back kitchen gave it to me." ”
Rhubarb was expressionless, still staring at me, as if he couldn't remember who Xiaohua was, I paused, and explained to him carefully: "It's the one who gave me a plate of pastries and a pot of fruit wine a few days ago." ”
Rhubarb still didn't remember who it was, and after a moment, he clenched his fists and coughed lightly: "Miss Ajing has a wide range of friends, and I admire her." ”
"Where, where."
I said modestly: "She heard that I was an immortal, and thought that I had something to do with Yue Lao, and wanted to ask me to bring a few words to Yue Lao, so that Yue Lao could give her a good-looking and rich Ruyi Langjun this year." ”
Rhubarb was still staring at me, and I was stared at by him, so I could only stammer: "I didn't cheat and deceive, it was they who heard that Bai Lingli beat me in public but was counterattacked, thinking that I was an immortal." ”
But Rhubarb was still staring at me.
I was impatiently stared at by him, and couldn't help but remind: "Hey, when you were in Kunlun Gate, didn't anyone tell you that staring at a girl like this is very rude and bad behavior?" ”
Rhubarb was still staring at me.
“……”
I reached out and shook it in front of his eyes, followed his line of sight and looked behind me, only to realize that he was not looking at me, but at the people behind me.
The men were carrying several chests that seemed to contain gold, silver, jewelry, and the like, and looked as if they were heavy.
In order to please the Folding Sword Villa, especially the Tianheng Dao Sect behind Qi Zhao, the gifts they prepared were more expensive than the other, and this was nothing.
But the problem lies in the people who give the gift, those people I look very familiar with, as if I have seen them somewhere, and I caught a glimpse of Xu Kaiyang sitting in the guest table, and suddenly realized.
Xu Kaiyang was secretly in contact before, and it was these people who purchased gunpowder and poison.
Although they were wearing the costumes of the Central Plains at this time, I am sure that these people who gave gifts were the people from southern Xinjiang.
Before I could react, Rhubarb had already moved, and I reached out to stop him: "Hey, where are you going......"
It was too late, Rhubarb dodged, leaped over the wall, and disappeared, I was afraid that I would be discovered by the people of Folding Sword Villa, so I could only continue to hide in the dark and watch.
After a while, Rhubarb came back again, and there was still a bit of gunpowder on his body, I was very strange, and asked him why he had just gone, Rhubarb said that there was a big pond in the backyard of Folding Sword Villa, and he threw all the boxes containing gunpowder into the pond, and I was very envious when I heard it, the young man is physically strong, and he still doesn't blush and his heart doesn't beat when he carries so many things.
I asked Rhubarb: "What do you think, what does this Xu Kaiyang want to do?" ”
Rhubarb pondered for a moment and replied, "Let's take a look first." ”
Answering is equivalent to not answering, a bunch of nonsense, I complained in my heart, and then pushed aside the bushes in front of me and looked at the people in the banquet.
At this time, Bai Nuoling was full of smiles, followed behind Qi Zhao, and greeted the guests, looking at her current appearance, she should have returned to normal.
I was relieved to breathe, and I heard a scream, the source of the sound was naturally Bai Nuoling, her face was pale, staring at the baby in her arms, and for a moment, she threw it out like a hot potato.
The baby was thrown into the air by him, but Bai Feizhen was the first to react, jumped up, and took it in his arms, and at the same time, a sachet fell out of the swaddling clothes.
"It's him, it's him again, and sure enough, he's back......"
Bai Nuoling lost control of his emotions, knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly: "Liu Daxia, Liu Daxia, all the mistakes are my fault, please spare me......"
