Chapter 2 Preface II
There is a lot of water in Luozhou, and most of the houses are built along the river, which are connected together. The water and land routes extend in all directions, and there is an endless stream of people coming and going, and even when they arrive, the streets are still full of people, and the hawkers are still elegant and hawking. The palace house is in a lively place by the river, a row of black-tiled and white-walled houses stretching out into the distance in the night, and in one of the small courtyards, the lights are bright, and the laughter is endless.
A beautiful woman put her arms around a young girl and quipped, "My Xue'er is getting married." ”
A middle-aged man who looked like a businessman next to him, Cui Huzi glared angrily and said, "What's there to be happy about, cheap that kid." "This is Gong Chenxue's father, Gong Pei. The palace master's words made the maids and mothers-in-law very happy.
The woman was about to tease him. But when he saw the boy from the door, he rushed in and shouted in horror, "There are so many people...... There were many people outside the door, all of them tall and big, bigger than the fourth child who killed the pig. I've already entered a gate. ”
Gong Chenxue was shocked, looked at her parents, and unexpectedly her parents seemed to be expected, although they were panicked, they were not at a loss. Ordered all the servants to flee for their lives, and seventeen or eight dog holes in the courtyard in all directions could pass people. For a while, people turned over on their backs, and they didn't have time to clean up the soft and run in all directions. In the chaos, no one noticed the old lady of the palace family, and pulled Gong Chenxue to the backyard, there was a smelly place in the backyard, which Gong Chenxue had never been to since she was a child, it was the thatched house shared by the little maids, and she didn't have to be a young lady in this kind of place. I was wondering why it was so critical and why my father and mother had brought her here. I saw Gong Pei walk into the latrine, knocked lightly three times in the corner, and four times under the beam, and a secret door was opened. Mrs. Gong hurriedly pushed her daughter in, and advised: "The personal necklace must not be lost, the thing is in the person, no matter what happens outside, do not make a sound, once this mechanism is activated, it will be opened by itself in three days." ”
Gong Chenxue was shocked: "Daddy, come in quickly, don't leave your daughter behind......"
Gong Pei Lao said with tears: "The yang energy here is only enough for one person to survive for three days, and my daughter wants to live for the palace family." "Anyway, the secret door is sealed, and I don't care about my beloved daughter crying and banging on the door. The two of them hurried back to the main hall. At this time, there were already many strong men in the main hall, led by a murderous man, but they were all wearing ghost masks, and they couldn't see their faces clearly, but from the point of view of their figures, they didn't look like Wu Guoren.
Gong Pei looked at death as if he were at home and said: "I knew that today, my palace family has been guarding for generations, and I will never steal my life." You don't have to wait a lot. ”
The man at the head did not speak, but another ghost-faced man beside him: "Naturally, there are thousands of ways for you to speak......"
Before the words fell, I saw the Gong family couple, both vomiting blood and falling to the ground, only the breath coming out but not the incoming air, the expression was extremely painful but they didn't say a word, and they held each other's hands tightly. The people screamed and screamed, and the voices were full of despair.
The ghost-faced man reported to the leader: "Lord, two old things have been poisoned and died. ”
The ghost-faced man at the head touched the gemstone ring on his thumb and said coldly: "Interrogate the servants, dig three feet into the ground and search." ”
The ghost-faced man answered, and two hours passed. The Ghostface Man at the head has already drunk a few cups of tea. The ghost-faced person came in and replied: "The Gong family is passed down to Gong Pei, there are few people, and there is only one woman in the Gong family named Chenxue, who is a well-known beauty, and has an appointment with the Ji family, the richest man in Luozhou. Now the two old thieves are dead, but Gong Chenxue's whereabouts are unknown, and none of the servants have their whereabouts, so they just took advantage of the chaos to run away. The palace family has dug three feet into the ground and searched, but nothing has been found."
The ghost-faced man at the head seemed to be a little impatient and said, "Useless thing." ”
Seeing this, the ghost-faced man who replied immediately knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, as if he was about to be torn apart by the five horses.
The ghost face who led the leader said: "Send people to search around, stare at the Ji family, burn the Gong family, and not a dog can get out alive." ”
Although the ghost-faced man who replied was afraid, he still said in a trembling voice: "Lord Qiqi, the houses here are connected on all sides, if there is a fire, I am afraid that hundreds of surrounding households will be affected. ”
The ghost-faced man at the head thought for a moment and said: "Da is hidden in the city, and he sent someone to keep an eye on the palace family."
Three days later, Gong Chenxue crawled out of the dark room with a dying breath, and saw the palace family destroy the door and his father and mother died tragically, heartbroken but did not dare to forget his father's last words, crawled out of the dog hole, pretended to be a beggar, and escaped from Luozhou. The palace family is already very good at concealment, and even the secret room is built in the dirty thatched house that others will never think of, and since he was a child, Gong Chenxue was carefully taught by his parents, although he does not know the reason, but he will also hide and protect himself. At last, she fainted in fright, malnutrition, and exhaustion, and a tall man with thick arms carried her into the carriage......
