Chapter Eighty-Eight: Something Happened to the Gu Mansion
Weng Jiashou saw that Hu Xianxian was thinking about something, and he didn't seem to listen to what he said, so he lost the interest in talking.
"Forget it, you won't believe it. I don't believe I've done any of these ridiculous things. Alas, but fortunately, although I am very depressed now, the fairy has not come to me for many years......"
Weng Jiashou stretched his waist and prepared to go to sleep, "Girl, you should go back to the inn quickly." ”
Hu Xianxian grabbed Weng Jiashou, who had already stepped into the house, "How can I see that immortal?" ”
Weng Jiashou looked Hu Xianxian up and down, "You also want to make a fortune from him?" You don't know how terrible that fairy is! I've only had a few years of peace, and I really don't want to mess with him anymore. ”
Hu Xianxian saw that Weng Jiashou was really scared, so he said pleasantly: "I want to see if I can get rid of him." ”
"You?" Weng Jiashou laughed, "Don't make trouble for yourself." Alas, seeing that you are really interested in this matter, I will tell you in detail how I met this fairy. You know why I'm so scared. ”
Hu Xianxian and Weng Jiashou sat in the house and talked around the fire.
Weng Jiashou lost not much of his family property back then, and there was only one big house left. He also knew that he was muddy, and when he looked at the big empty house, he wanted to sell the house and get some cash to make a small business and make a fortune.
Weng Jiashou thought that the big house left by his ancestors would not be easy to sell if there were only empty shelves, but he didn't expect that only a few days later, a guest from the capital would buy it for 3,000 taels of silver. The guest didn't even talk about the price, so he gave enough silver tickets on the spot, and seeing that Weng Jiashou couldn't find a place to live for a while, he agreed to live in the original room temporarily.
Weng Jiashou was very grateful to this generous visitor to the capital, and was also curious about his behavior of going out late and returning early every day without knowing what to do.
Weng Jiashou thought he was a thief, because people who do business leave early and return late instead of leaving late and returning early. Weng Jiashou actually had the idea of joining the gang, and one night he followed the visitor from the capital out.
Weng Jiashou followed this person all the way out of the north gate, and when he arrived outside Shanfu Temple, he lost the man. Weng Jiashou had to spend the night in the firewood room of Shanfu Temple, but he was unwilling to return to the city, so he waited outside Shanfu Temple for a day.
By the next night, Weng Jiashou hid in the plantain forest behind Zenfukuji Temple, staring at the small bridge over the Green Wax River.
At the time of the third watch, the visitor from Beijing really appeared from the bridge, but the man was not wearing the night clothes of the thief, but the usual attire. Weng Jiashou followed this man all the way to Gaojia Village, and this person did something in Gaojia Village to give a tall and thin head Tuo and returned.
Weng Jiashou couldn't figure it out, what did this person give to that Toutuo? How can you make a fortune by sending something? Weng Jiashou hid outside the village to find out the situation, but was discovered by the villagers, beaten and driven out.
Weng Jiashou was covered in scars, and he had a fire in his belly, and his head was stuffy. When it was dawn, he realized that he had not taken the road out of the village at all, but had arrived in the dense forest of Qinglong Mountain.
Weng Jiashou got lost, ran around in the mountains and forests, and didn't meet anyone who could ask for directions. At night, tired and hungry, he saw a light in a place, and without hesitation, he ran to the light.
That place is an ancient ancestral hall, Weng Jiashou as soon as he entered the door, he found that there were pastries and fruits on the table in the middle of the ancestral hall, and he unceremoniously picked them up and ate them. After eating, fall asleep.
After falling asleep, Weng Jiashou saw a dark shadow in his dream, accusing him of stealing his offerings, and asked him to find someone. Weng Jiashou was ready to leave after waking up, who would take a dream seriously?
But when Weng Jiashou was about to leave, he saw that the offering table was full of pastries and fruits. What surprised Weng Jiashou even more was that he saw a note under a plate of mung bean cakes. The note said an address outside the city of Liaozhou, which was the place where the black shadow in Weng Jiashou's dream asked him to find someone.
Weng Jiashou was so frightened that he wanted to run, but as soon as he moved his feet, he tripped and fell to the ground, and he saw a black gas around his legs......
After Hu Xianxian heard this, he knew that the head of Gaojia Village was She Rimang, the ancient temple was the Black Dragon Temple, and the person who asked Weng Jiashou to find it was Orihun.
It's just that Hu Xianxian didn't know what the visitors from the capital gave to She Rimang, and he didn't know who the black shadow was. She guessed that this visitor to the capital was also an ordinary person who was controlled like Weng Jiashou, and that thing should be a spiritual object that could be brought from all sides to make the black dragon reborn as soon as possible.
Weng Jiashou didn't say much when he saw that other beggars were coming back one after another, and Hu Xianxian also said goodbye to them.
The next day, Hu Xianxian came to Weng Jiashou, and she said that she would take him to the capital to find Gu Changen. Weng Jiashou was reluctant to go, so Hu Xianxian had to threaten him that if he didn't go, he would kill him.
Weng Jiashou blamed himself for making trouble all the way, and Hu Xianxian didn't bother to talk to him more, so he found a carriage and drove all the way. After she learned that Gu Changen had dealt with the people of the Black Dragon Temple, she was anxious to see Gu Changen so that she could ask more information from him.
When the two rushed to the Gu Mansion in the capital, they saw white lanterns hanging on both sides of the plaque on the door of the Gu Mansion, and white paper flowers were stained on the door. Hu Xianxian felt a "sigh" in his heart, knowing that something had happened again.
Hu Xianxian took Weng Jiashou to the door, and when the gatekeeper saw her, he cried: "Fairy aunt, are you back...... It's all our lord's fault for not listening to you......"
Hu Xianxian asked him, "What's wrong?" Is this funeral for Gu Changen? ”
The gatekeeper wiped his tears and said, "It's not for the master...... Alas, their merchant ship capsized, and all those who had been taken out fell into the water...... More than a dozen people died, and the third aunt didn't even find the corpse of the capital......"
Hu Xianxian stiffened his face and asked, "Gu Changen died like that?" ”
Hearing the lack of mercy in her words, the gatekeeper was a little angry: "You still think our master died easily, don't you?" Alas, more than a dozen lives, my cousin went with him, and also drowned...... Alas, before leaving, we discussed going back to our hometown to make more money and open a tavern together......"
Hu Xianxian's heart was blocked, she no longer listened to the cry of the janitor, and dragged Weng Jiashou to the inner courtyard.
Weng Jiashou broke free of her hand and asked suspiciously, "Are you...... You are not Gu Changen's enemy who found him to kill him...... Who are you? ”
Hu Xianxian said coldly: "I am Hu Okang's daughter, and I am the monster in the mouth of that immortal." ”
Weng Jiashou was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "Can't hide, can't hide...... What should come will come...... Alas, kill me! “
Hu Xianxian shook his head, "You are not worthy of my killing." ”
Weng Jiashou knelt down and said with a crying voice: "Please kill me, I don't feel wronged to die at your hands." I don't want to see that immortal anymore, I don't want to die as inexplicably as Gu Changen...... I'm going to kill others......"
Hu Xianxian pulled up Weng Jiashou, "You're wrong, Gu Changen wasn't killed by that immortal." ”
Weng Jiashou hunched over and looked at her in disbelief, she patted Weng Jiashou on the shoulder: "Forget it, see that you still know regret and shame, I won't pursue the previous things." Let's go, you can help me see which one is He Dengtai. ”
Weng Jiashou is also a mixed sperm person, and when he heard Hu Xianxian say this, he breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately reacted: "Gu Changen was killed by the two of them in a partnership?" ”
Hu Xianxian sneered, which was considered a default.
went to the inner courtyard to find the mourning hall, and Hu Xianxian saw Hu Hairong caressing the coffin and wept. Kneeling in front of the coffin was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, who should be Gu Changen's son who was studying abroad.
Hu Xianxian looked around in the mourning hall, but did not see Zhang Laodao, so he had to offer incense to the deceased first according to custom.
When Hu Xianxian was incense, Hu Hairong pretended not to see it, but the young man got up and thanked Hu Xianxian.
Weng Jiashou stared at the young man and looked at it, and Hu Xianxian also paid attention to the young man. He has clear eyebrows, a sad expression, and elegant behavior, and does not have the appearance of a rich man who cares about Changen.
Hu Xianxian and Weng Jiashou glanced at each other, and they both found the same questions as themselves in each other's eyes, and they also saw the same answers.
When Hu Hairong saw their expressions, he walked over with a gloomy face: "Two distinguished guests, please follow me to the living room for tea." Then he turned back and instructed the young man, "Sizhe, my mother knows that you are a filial child, but don't be too sad." You're going to be tired, what should you do? ”
When the three of them arrived in the living room, Hu Hairong waved his hand to send the maid, "Say, what is the purpose of your coming here?" ”
Hu Xianxian didn't expect Hu Hairong to be so cheerful, so he said directly: "We want to meet He Dengtai." ”
Hu Hairong was stunned, "See him?" He is no longer in the capital. ”
Weng Jiashou hurriedly asked, "Then where did he go?" ”
Hu Hairong said proudly: "If you want money, I can give it." Nothing else, no comment. ”
