Chapter 239: The Maple Tree

As soon as he entered the courtyard, Su Liruo saw that the door of Su Qianjin's room was wide open, and there were several guards standing at the door, all of whom were holding wormwood in their hands.

Now Su Qianjin's yard is full of the smell of wormwood smoke, which makes Su Li cough.

"Ahem, what's going on? Why smoke mugwort leaves here? ”

Hearing Su Liruo's questioning suspiciously, Xiao Lu opened his mouth in embarrassment.

"Someone said today that he saw a person in red clothes enter the courtyard of the eldest lady, and said something unclean, so the master asked people to smoke mugwort leaves, saying that they were going to go to bad luck."

Originally, Su Liruo thought it was nothing, but now that she heard Xiaolu say this, she didn't feel that the red she saw when she opened her eyes was an illusion.

"What about the eldest lady? Where is the eldest lady now? "Su Liruo is most concerned about Su Qianjin's whereabouts now.

If Su Qianjin is allowed to run away, I don't know if there will be any other movements in the future.

"The master said that this place is not clean, so he took the eldest lady to another courtyard, and Mrs. Deng is now taking care of the eldest lady."

Hearing Xiao Lu say this, Su Liruo nodded, and then turned around and walked to his room.

"I've been away from the house for the past few days, but what strange things have happened?"

Xiao Lu carefully recalled, what happened in the past few days? She thought for a moment, then shook her head in affirmation.

"It's not strange that you've been in the house for a few days, but today I always feel like it's not peaceful, and everything you do is like someone is watching."

Such a description fell into Su Liruo's ears, but it made her decide one thing.

On the way back, something did follow.

……

In the crisp autumn season, the night always falls very suddenly, Su Liruo rubbed his eyes, and saw a red figure standing beside his bed.

Su Liruo was startled, then sat up and pulled out his multi-functional dagger, looking vigilant.

"Who? What are your intentions, pretending to be a ghost? ”

Su Liruo's eyes narrowed slightly, and she opened her mouth with an indifferent face, she knelt on the bed on one knee, and the other foot was kicking the bed board, she was ready to jump up at any time.

"Woo woo woo ......" A cry came, and Su Liruo could hear that the person in front of him was a woman.

She ignored the woman, but remained vigilant

The woman had been whimpering and crying there, and Su Liruo really couldn't listen to it anymore, so she roared angrily.

"That's it! Don't howl! ”

It's just that as soon as she finished speaking, there was an extra hand on her neck, and Su Liruo only felt that the nails of this hand were very long, and it hurt a little to pinch her neck.

Looking at it intently, Su Liruo was startled, this woman's face was really terrifying.

Su Liruo's pupils dilated instantly, but in the next second, she only felt a force coming from her neck, and she closed her eyes and fainted.

When she woke up again, the person was lying on the ground, but the dark red figure was nowhere to be seen.

"If you knock out your aunt and grandmother, you will disappear, pretending to be a ghost, what are you doing?"

Su Liruo roared angrily, she reached out and touched her neck.

This person is so ruthless, his neck hurts.

Su Liruo stood up, she picked up the quilt on the bed, and when she lifted the quilt, there were a few more maple leaves on the ground.

"Maple Leaf?" Su Liruo confided two words, and then muttered suspiciously.

She carefully recalled that there seemed to be only one place in the city where there were maple leaves.

Curious, Su Liruo called Thunder and went with her to the house with maple leaves in the city to ask.

Maple trees are not popular in the country, but they are just a hobby of some large families.

Due to geological reasons, it is rare for maple trees to survive in the country.

"This is it." Su Liruo looked up, and there was a plaque hanging on the door, "Jia Mansion." ”

"Sister Li Ruo, are you sure it's here? Master Jia is a big salt merchant in this city, he still has some friendship with his master, this matter has nothing to do with him, there should be no misunderstanding, right? ”

Thunder folded his arms around his chest, looking puzzled.

He has been working with Shangguan Jin for many days, and some people he still recognizes.

"There's no going to be wrong, I ...... before"

If Su Li wanted to say that she had lost her way before and accidentally broke here, she would have thought that there were a few maple trees here, but she held back in time.

Such a shameless thing, she won't tell this stinky boy.

"What happened to you before? Could it be that you have been to Jia Mansion before? Thunder saw Su Liruo's hesitation, and the doubts in his heart deepened.

Receiving the gaze from Thunder Exploration, Su Liruo spoke impatiently.

"Gee, it's not heavy

Yes, go up and knock at the door. ”

Su Liruo said as he pushed the thunder to the door of Jiafu.

Lei Ting was lying on the door, and Sister Li Ruo didn't know how to lighten it, she was also a woman, why didn't she have a woman's gentleness at all.

Seeing Lei Ting knocking on the door, Su Liruo coughed lightly twice and cleaned up his clothes.

Then I saw the door of Jiafu open, and a slightly older man walked out of it.

"Is there anything wrong with the two of you?" The man's voice was low, his eyes were gloomy, and he looked strange, as if he was suffering from a strange illness.

Seeing this person, Su Liruo only felt that this guy was not simple.

"We are from Duanwangfu, and we came to visit Master Jia this time, and we hope to report it."

Lei Ting took the token given to him by Shangguan Jin, and then signaled, only to see the person who came close the door and walked in to report.

"What's going on? Why did you close the door? ”

Lei Ting felt a little unhappy, he was a subordinate of Duanwangfu, he didn't look at the monk's face, but also looked at the Buddha's face, right?

Su Liruo was also a little helpless, "Wait, wait." ”

As the two were talking, the door opened again, and after the door opened, this time the butler opened the door.

"Please come in, my master is already waiting in the lobby."

Su Liruo and Lei Ting glanced at each other, then nodded to the butler and walked in, but the door behind them was closed by the butler.

Su Liruo also felt a little puzzled, what door is closed in broad daylight?

After entering the lobby, I saw a sick old man sitting in the main seat, looking a little haggard.

"Are you Master Jia?" Su Liruo bowed, although then asked.

Master Jia looked Su Liruo up and down, especially when she asked him.

"This girl, do you have anything to do with me? Originally, the old man had not seen a guest recently, and his body needed to be maintained, so he searched for a famous doctor for treatment, and now the people from Duanwangfu said that they came to visit him, and he naturally couldn't shirk it.

"After all, in the future, in business, we will have to rely on the support of the prince of Duanwang."

"Lord Shizi, the master wants me to ask Master Jia, is there a maple tree in your house?"

Su Liruo asked, this old man Jia's brows were tightly locked, obviously puzzled by Su Liruo's question. 2k reading web
