Chapter 61: Darkness (2)

After the reunion festival, there is no curfew in the foggy city, there is a disturbance on both sides of the strait, donkeys and horses neigh, and the sound of people and cars is sandwiched.

In the past few days, the weather has been cold and warm, and the lights on both sides of the strait are bright at night, and the travel is endless.

An extraordinary official ship was slowly sailing into the fog city, and there was silence in the cabin, and more than a hundred soldiers stood on it.

In front of Wang Zhi, there was a middle-aged man with sword eyebrows and starry eyes.

Behind the man is a silk painting, in which is a fairy in red, with handsome eyes and eyebrows, and a phoenix posture.

Wang Zhi looked at this silk painting in a daze, and couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.

The man glanced at him, and his eyes were shiny and heroic. He seemed to feel slightly strange, and said in a low voice, "What are you looking at?" ”

Wang Zhi had a big mystery in his heart: how could this person have a portrait of a fairy girl?

He suddenly came back to his senses and said, "My subordinates' family has been mutated in the past few days, and they have just escaped death, and they are still in a trance. ”

I saw the man slowly get up, pour a glass of wine, send it to Wang Zhi, and said: "Wang Zhutou, I know that something happened to your family, and I will definitely seek justice for you, but you must not hide anything in front of me." ”

When Wang Zhi heard this, he hesitated in his heart: "Shall I tell him that I have seen the fairy girl in the painting in front of the gate of the ancient temple?" ”

At this moment, I suddenly saw a brocade guard walk into the cabin, saluted the man, and said, "Lord Qiqi, the third person who died in front of the ancient temple has been verified by his subordinates. ”

The man said, "Who?" ”

The brocade guard said: "The deceased's name is Jin Shuliang, and he is the brother of Jin Shutian of the Salt Party. ”

When the man heard this, his face did not change, and he said: "I know, continue to monitor the every move of the county government and those salt merchants, and not a single fly can fly out of the entire fog city!" ”

The brocade guard got the order and quickly retreated.

Wang Zhi was dumbfounded, he never expected that the entire city was already under the surveillance of Eagle Eye.

He couldn't help but touch the scroll on his chest with one hand, and his heart sank to look at the man, but those eyes were so deep that they didn't seem to catch any emotion.

A gust of cold wind blew, Wang Zhiji shivered, and said in his heart: "Lord Qincha's real purpose is the Salt Party!" It seems that I have been caught up in the whirlpool of cruel partisanship in the imperial court! If you are not careful, it will be a great disaster to destroy the nine clans! ”

In an instant, he thought of what the red-clothed fairy girl said to him in front of the ancient temple, and his heart brightened, and he said in his heart: "Could it be that the fairy girl has already expected all this?" Could it be that all this was secretly arranged by the fairy girl? ”

The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, and he wondered, "Should I give him the scroll?" ”

The man looked at him silently, was silent for a moment, and said, "Wang Zhutou, what are your concerns?" ”

Wang Zhi frowned tightly and said loudly: "My subordinates dare not hide anything in front of Lord Qincha. The county magistrate wanted to arrest me, not because he thought I was the murderer of two murders, but because there was something in the ancient temple that they all wanted! ”

The man listened and nodded slightly, as if Wang Zhi had finally said the key.

The king said directly: "Presumably, the adults have seen everything and controlled the overall situation, but their subordinates are stupid, and there is something unclear, and I hope the adults will tell them." ”

The man said, "What questions does Wang Zhutou have?" ”

Wang Zhidao: "So many people want this thing in the ancient temple, why don't you just knock open the gate of the ancient temple and take it out." ”

The man shook his head and said, "For more than 20 years, no one has been able to enter the ancient temple. There is only one person in the world who can push open the gate of the ancient temple......" At this, his face froze, and he was alone for a while, and he didn't say any more.

The king listened to it and thought repeatedly: "That's right! That night I encountered a fox spirit, and I obviously fell asleep in a mass grave, but when I woke up the next day, I was in the ancient temple! It must have been the fairy aunt who saved me and sent me to the ancient temple. Could it be that the fairy girl wants me to give the scroll to this person? ”

His mind changed sharply and he said, "My subordinates saw a statue of a god in the ancient temple...... It's a fairy girl in red...... By chance, his subordinates also heard about an old incident that happened there. The family that used to live in the ancient temple was surnamed Bai ......"

Before he could finish speaking, the man suddenly stood up.

Wang Zhi was stunned and raised his eyes slightly, but saw that the man's eyes were full of tears, and he seemed to be full of sadness, but this strange look only flashed on his face.

His lightning-like eyes flashed over Wang's straight face for a moment, and he said in a trembling voice, "What did you find on the idol?" ”

Wang Zhi's heart was shocked: "Could it be that he is ......?"

Trembling, he took out the scroll from his bosom, presented it respectfully to the man, and said, "My lord, this is a scroll that fell from the sleeve of the idol, and it was unintentionally picked up by his subordinates. There was a feeling of apprehension in my heart, and I couldn't help kneeling down and said, "My lord, I will leave this to you, you can save my life!" ”

The man took the scroll, opened it, closed it again, closed his eyes for a long time without saying a word. After a long time, he said: "Wang Zhutou, you have a good rest here, and don't get off the boat until this matter is over." ”

In the middle of the night, Wang Zhi looked out through the door and window, and saw the man quietly standing on the bow of the boat, looking at the foggy city, standing for more than an hour, but he did not move.

Before you know it, a round of the moon slowly moves to the middle of the sky, and half of the night has passed.

The man's eyes were full of tears, and he looked out of a blur, and suddenly, there was a red shadow hovering on the opposite bank, as if he was looking for someone there.

He couldn't help but take a step back, his teary eyes blurred, and the shadow of a girl in red seemed to be in front of him, beckoning to him.

He suddenly shouted: "Yueniang, it's been more than 20 years, I'm already old, if we meet, do you still recognize me?" Are you lonely over there? Lonely? You wait for me...... Wait for me to accompany you......"

The autumn wind was whining, accompanied by the sound of the river "booming", and he vaguely heard a woman replying to him: "Yanlang, Yanlang, don't be sad, don't be sad!" ”

The man said softly: "Yueniang, I have worked hard for more than 20 years, and I haven't slept a day to sleep peacefully, and I finally waited for this day!" ”

He held the scroll in his hand and said, "That head catcher actually went into our house, and he found this register...... It turns out that you hid the roster in the sleeve of the idol...... After all these years, I still can't guess what you're thinking...... You're for me...... For my ......"

For a moment, he was in tears, choked up and speechless.

He took a deep breath, and looked around, the lights on the other side were dim, and he vaguely saw the guests of the Red Moon Building on Pingkang Street coming and going.

He said, "Red Moon Tower...... How dare they call that filthy and pickled place the Red Moon Tower! My red moon will not be tarnished by anyone! Everyone in the Red Moon Tower has to die! Yueniang, I want to use all the people on the roster, as well as everyone in Fog City, to bury you with you! ”
