Chapter 18: Death Like Smoke
Su Shanao saw that Ruyan was pondering, and ignored his accusations against her, and he couldn't help but say again: "Ruyan, if the people who protect the country and the villa find out that you and the hall master are planning to steal military salaries and kill the Dharma Protector, they will definitely not let you go!" ”
Ruyan was calm: "Don't worry, I won't offer the hall master when the time comes, I will take care of all these things alone." ”
"Okay, I'm sure you won't betray the hall master, but you haven't answered my question yet, why don't you burn those letters?!"
She hung her head and said slowly: "Because I love the hall master, I can't bear to destroy everything the hall master gave me, this matter is my carelessness, I won't drag the hall master down." ”
Su Shanao secretly felt that Ruyan was too stupid, although Ruyan was Leng Fengjue's secret guard, but he was just using Ruyan, Leng Fengjue's favorite person in this life was only himself, and only a stupid woman like Ruyan would give her body and mind to Leng Fengjue.
Ruyan's eyes drooped, and his tone was full of coldness: "I'll give you a portrait and kill the person on this portrait." ”
Three watches
Dugu Shaobai and Shangguan Yutang came to the outside of Chunxiang Building in night clothes, and went out after dressing up in their bedroom.
The two of them followed her silently not far away, and found her walking to the river, raised her eyes to look at the faint moonlight, closed her eyes, and jumped down the river.
Dugu Shaobai and Shangguan Yutang flew up and fished her out.
"Ahem, cough, cough......" She coughed up a lot of water, and opened her eyes in a daze to look at the two people in front of her: "You guys...... Who is it? ”
Dugu Shaobai quickly clicked on her acupoint and threw a pill into her mouth.
Following
There were many people around the river, lying on the bank of the river like smoke, drenched, her face was pale, her eyes were closed, like a dead corpse.
The onlookers pointed to Ruyan and discussed: "This is the Ruyan girl from Chunxianglou, why did she drown?" ”
"It's a pity, such a beautiful girl died like this."
"Go away, go away!" Several men came over with stretchers and put the smoke-like "corpse" on the stretcher, and Su Shanao disguised himself as a corpse bearer and mixed in with it.
Ruyan had no family in Taoyuan Town, so her body was taken to a mass grave ten miles away in Taoyuan Town, where the corpse bearers rolled Ruyan in a broken mat and then threw it in the grave.
Not long after they left, Su Shanao turned back again, he walked to Ruyan's "corpse", checked his pulse, probed his nose, and confirmed that he was out of breath, he pointed his luck on Ruyan's right shoulder, and broke the muscles and veins in her body before leaving.
As everyone knows, this scene fell in the eyes of Dugu Shaobai and Shangguan Yutang standing on a big locust tree.
After Su Shanao walked away, the two flew down from the tree, Dugu Shaobai held Ruyan's wrist to probe her pulse, and fed her a dace pill to continue her life.
"Su Shanao is very heavy, he broke his veins like smoke, for fear that she will not die."
Shangguan Yutang thought to himself, this Su Shanao is inevitably too ruthless.
"Last night, eldest brother, you fed her the fake death pill, and today she was broken by Su Shanao again, if she wants to wake up, I'm afraid I'll have to wait for a while."
Dugu Shaobai skillfully unraveled the acupuncture points sealed on her body last night, and her wrist instantly had a faint pulse.
"Well, I'm afraid it will be at least a month before I wake up!"
Shangguan Yutang took off his coat of smoke, put it on another corpse whose face had decomposed, and wrapped the mat that was originally wrapped in smoke on this substitute corpse.
Dugu Shaobai hugged Ruyan and said, "Yutang, let's go back to Huguo Villa." ”
Shangguan Yutang: "Big brother, you go back first, I still have to go to Li Shenlong." "Li Shenlong helped them, it would not be good if they were targeted by Leng Feng's subordinates.
Dugu Shaobai: "Okay! Then I'll take Ruyan back to Huguo Villa for healing first. ”
Imperial City
The Tailing Lake is sparkling, and the surface of the lake is glowing, like pieces of shining gold.
In a luxurious pleasure boat, Leng Feng leaned lazily on the dragon chair, playing with a white jade teacup in his hand.
The evil ghost's cold voice sounded: "Ruyan left evidence for the people of the Protector Villa, damn it." ”
Su Shanao bowed down and said respectfully: "The subordinates have already probed the pulse of the smoke, and they are indeed dead, and the subordinates have also broken her muscles and veins, in case she is not dead." ”
"Well, you're doing a great job." Leng Feng's slender and powerful hand stroked the dragon pattern carved on the white jade teacup in his hand.
Su Shanao thought to himself, the hall master's reaction was too calm, wasn't he afraid that the Protector Mountain Villa would catch him?
"Hall Master, what if it is really the person who protects the country and the villa takes the book you gave to the flying pigeon like smoke?"
The corners of Leng Fengjue's mouth rose slightly, and there was nothing to be afraid of at all.
"Jiangnan Xuan paper, everyone has officials in the imperial court, Beiyang crystal ink, a few days ago, the master of the hall happened to give some to the city lord of Jinnan City, the master of the Xuanwu Gate and the prime minister of Shangguan, those words, but they are also written by subordinates, why is the master of the hall afraid?"
Su Shanao thought to himself, just as Yan and Wang Bingquan are dead, what else does the hall master have to worry about?
Leng Fengjue glanced at the portrait on the table with a pair of charming eyes: "Since Ruyan asked you to kill this man before he died, you should do it, and it will be regarded as Ruyan's last wish." ”
"Subordinates take orders!"
On the table is a portrait of Li Shenlong.
Ruyan has disappeared and the jade has fallen, Su Shanao regrets in his heart, he hasn't slept like smoke, this Ruyan actually committed suicide, it's a pity, it's a pity, when he thinks of the flower and moon appearance and slender posture like smoke, Su Shanao is itching, so after leaving the cold ship, he walked to Chunxianglou again.
Chunxianglou is not far from the riverbank, there are many fishmongers by the river, and a girl with a delicate face came to the fish stall and carefully selected the fish.
The owner of this fish stall was already familiar with this girl, and said with a smile: "Miss Qiuhe, come to buy fish for Director Yang again?" ”
Qiu He smiled at the boss and gestured, she was already a regular customer, so the fish stall owner could understand what she was gesturing.
"Okay, I'll pick you a big grass carp." As he spoke, the boss had already disemboweled, gutted, wrapped it and handed it to Qiuhe.
Qiu He took the fish with a smile and handed the boss the silver.
The owner of the meat stall opposite the fish stall looked at the back of Qiu He leaving, and said softly: "It's a pity, Qiu He was born so beautiful, she is actually a mute, but Director Yang treats her well, and it is also her blessing, but he didn't give her a name." ”
The owner of the green vegetable stall next to the meat stall owner said: "It is said that Qiu He came out of the Qinglou, and Director Yang has a good reputation and prestige in our Taoyuan Town, so how can he marry a woman from the Qinglou?" It's already good to let her stay in the Weilong Martial Arts Pavilion as a maid. ”
