Chapter 30: The Red Ghost of the South China Sea
Because of the delay, I came to the Fang Mansion much later, and some of the guests had already entered the house one after another, and the Fang family steward received the invitation and congratulatory gifts at the door and welcomed the guests into the door.
Shen Lingjun and the two stood not far away, and said with emotion: "Fang Zhixuan has washed his hands in a golden basin, but I didn't expect these people in the rivers and lakes to sell his face." ”
Su Musha nodded: "Fang Zhixuan is also very famous in Yongning Mansion. ”
Shen Lingjun put on the scarf and hat he had just bought on the street and walked over with Su Musha.
As soon as I took out the invitation, a hearty and hearty laugh came from inside: "Haha, virtuous nephew, are you ......here?"
Out of the door came an old man in his fifties and fifties, in a purple satin brocade robe, although he was nearly half a hundred years old, his body standing straight was like a sharp blade faintly out of the sheath, and he was in good spirits at the moment, his face was full of red light, and his face was smiling.
There were guests next to him who had not entered the door and were curious: "Who is this person, Old Man Fang actually came to greet him in person." ”
Another whispered back, "What do you see he's holding in his hand?" ”
"Heh~" The first to speak gasped: "Su Musha, the first swordsman known as Su Sanshao." ”
Fang Zhixuan laughed heartily, obviously in a good mood: "The virtuous nephew sent a congratulatory gift early in the morning, I thought that the virtuous nephew would not come, so people should always pay attention." ”
Su Mu clenched his fists and bowed his head slightly: "Something has delayed for some time." ”
"Oh, I see." Everyone is here, Fang Zhixuan still cares about the morning and evening, and noticed that Shen Lingjun beside Su Musha was a slender woman from her figure, and couldn't help but be curious: "This is ......"
Su Musha looked sideways and introduced him: "Lord Shen of Dali Temple." ”
Fang Zhixuan was stunned for a moment, he didn't know what this Dali Siqing was doing here.
Shen Lingjun took a step forward and said with a smile: "I'm not invited, isn't Senior Fang not very welcome." ”
Although Fang Zhixuan didn't understand why Shen Lingjun still wore a veil and hat on a hot day, he said with a smile: "Where, where, I have long admired Lord Shen's prestige, he is a hero among women, and he can come to Fang's humble house today, it is really brilliant." ”
One person around was surprised: "How did Su Musha get mixed up with the government." ”
The other person said in a disdainful tone, apparently out of jealousy: "Who knows, maybe you will become an eagle dog of the court." ”
Shen Lingjun and Fang Zhixuan walked in together, and the latter said happily: "I don't know if the Sword Saint predecessor is healthy, I haven't seen him for many years, I miss it very much." ”
Su Musha replied: "The master is in good health, but he hasn't been out of the mountain for many years, so he specially asked me to come." ”
"That's good." Fang Zhixuan had already known that it was impossible for the Sword Saint to attend, but he didn't expect to deliberately send the only disciple over, which was also unexpected.
Further on, there is the courtyard of the banquet guests, and the noise of the bustling is already heard.
Shen Lingjun and Su Musha stopped and said, "Senior Fang is free now, and the junior has a few questions to ask. ”
After all, Fang Zhixuan is a character who has been in the scene for a long time, just now he saw Su Mu covering Shen Lingjun over, and as soon as he heard her identity, he knew that he should have something to find himself, hesitated, and said, "Please come with me." ”
Fang Zhixuan took the two to a small courtyard next to it, not far from the courtyard of the banquet, but it was relatively clean.
The three of them sat down, and Su Musha didn't beat around the bush, and said directly: "Do seniors know about Bingxin Pavilion?" ”
"Ice Heart Pavilion?" Fang Zhixuan frowned slightly: "Why did the virtuous nephew suddenly ask about this." ”
Shen Lingjun explained simply: "It is related to a case we are investigating. ”
"So that's ......" Fang Zhixuan nodded understandingly, was silent for a moment, and said, "I did hear of the Ice Heart Pavilion, it was originally called the Splendid Pavilion. ”
"Splendid Pavilion?"
"Well, it was a killer organization secretly cultivated by Yang Youxin, an official of the previous dynasty, and later the previous dynasty collapsed, Yang Youxin was also killed, some people in the Splendid Pavilion died, and some took the opportunity to break away from the organization, and the remaining small number of people gathered together and changed their names to Bingxin Pavilion." Fang Zhixuan said slowly.
Shen Lingjun asked, "Who is the person in charge of the Ice Heart Pavilion?" ”
Fang Zhixuan thought for a while and said: "The later rulers are more mysterious, and they have changed hands several times, I'm afraid it is difficult for anyone to know the exact identity." The Splendid Pavilion was originally formed to secretly get rid of dissidents for the royal family, and since it was established as the Ice Heart Pavilion, it has begun to take over business outside, as long as they can afford it, they can kill anyone. ”
Shen Lingjun tapped his fingers on the stone table and said, "So now it's an ordinary assassination organization." ”
Fang Zhixuan nodded: "That's right, but in the past two years, the Ice Heart Pavilion has changed its authority, and everyone calls him Lord Jianxi." ”
Shen Lingjun took the opportunity to ask, "Do you know the real name of Lord Jairus?" ”
"I don't know." Fang Zhixuan shook his head and said, "It is rumored that this person is too ruthless, which makes many people in the organization dissatisfied. ”
Su Musha asked, "Do seniors know how to contact the people of Ice Heart Pavilion?" ”
Fang Zhixuan is also a righteous person, and he has never interacted with evil sects, but since Su Musha came to the door: "I can ask someone to help contact him." ”
Su Mu smiled and clenched his fists: "Thank you seniors." ”
Fang Zhixuan smiled and waved his hand: "It's just a matter of raising your hands." "For Fang Zhixuan, it's just a casual face, and the other party is a Sword Saint apprentice, so he always has a hundred beneficial and harmless measures.
Someone came to find Fang Zhixuan, and if there was something to deal with him, Fang Zhixuan got up and left first.
Shen Lingjun took off his veil and fanned the wind, but he suffocated her to death: "Eh, you said that since the Bingxin Pavilion was left by the official family, it is understandable that it can still be involved with the officials now." ”
Su Musha groaned: "Go back and check Jin Yuan's details again, and whether he has any connection with the officials of the previous dynasty." ”
"Hmm." Shen Lingjun said: "Wait for the seniors to contact here, let's go into the Ice Heart Pavilion to find out." ”
"Okay." Su Musha replied.
The maid of Fangfu came to invite the two of them to sit at the table, and when she saw Shen Lingjun's face at first glance, she was quite frightened, thinking that it was no wonder that she had to wear a veil.
Su Musha asked the maid to go first, then picked up the veil and hat on the table, got up and put it on Shen Lingjun, and helped her smooth her wind-blown hair by the way, with gentle movements.
Before leaving, the maid turned her head to look at it again out of curiosity, not wanting to see this scene, because the other party behaved intimately, the maid looked shy and blushed. I couldn't help but think: This man in white looked cold and indifferent, unkind, I didn't expect to be so gentle to this adult, and someone could treat me like this......
The more she thought about it, the redder her face became, and finally ran away with her face in her hands.
Shen Lingjun looked at the shadow of the maid leaving, tilted his head and said, "How strange." ”
Su Musha patted her head lightly: "Let's go." ”
The two came to the courtyard next door to the banquet guests, and saw that those guests gathered together in groups of three or five, most of them were still people from the rivers and lakes, and some wealthy families and literati looked like them, which showed that Fang Zhixuan had a wide range of friends.
Shen Lingjun looked at those strange-shaped Jianghu people with interest, the yellow clothes were short and wearing heavy makeup, but in her hand she was carrying a big axe that was extremely incommensurate with her, Huang Yufeng, who was known as Pretty Yama; There was some madness next to him, and it was Mad Ji Gongwei who was wearing a monk's robe......
As he was looking at it, a yin and yang strange voice said: "Hehe, I didn't expect the apprentice of the Sword Saint to become a lackey of the government now." ”
Shen Lingjun and the two looked over and saw a lean old man in the corner, wrapped in black clothes, with a sharpened face and prominent cheekbones, especially a pair of eyes that were small and narrow, dripping and spinning, like a mouse. What's even more peculiar is that this person has red hair and is weird and unusual.
This was not a light or serious remark, which attracted many people's side eyes, and everyone stopped talking and looked at it.
Su Musha didn't pay attention to it, and wanted to continue walking, but he didn't expect this person to be energetic, and said again: "The Sword Saint is old and dying, and he can't walk, so his apprentices can't control it." ”
There is a young and vigorous person who has grown up listening to the legend of the Sword Saint since he was a child, and he thinks that he speaks ugly, and he wants to speak, but the older man next to him grabbed the kid and said in his ear: "Do you know who he is?" ”
In fact, for Su Musha, if he was scolded a few words, he didn't care much, he didn't care about it when he was in a good mood, and he started fighting directly when he was in a bad mood. However, it would be unforgivable for someone to scold his master, especially to curse him to death.
Su Musha sneered, and was about to speak, when Shen Lingjun took the lead and walked in front of the man, "You were talking just now?" ”
Shen Lingjun waved his hand at Su Musha, meaning to deal with it himself. Su Musha is also a person from the rivers and lakes, it is not good to offend too many people, and no one can recognize his true identity when he comes, and secondly, he is a person in the official government, and if he offends, he will be offended, who dares to be more serious with her.
The man pulled the corners of his mouth and said with a smile: "Why, the people in the government have also begun to take care of the affairs of the rivers and lakes?" Although Lord Shen is in a high position, he can't care about me gossiping. ”
Shen Lingjun paced and said with a smile: "Yo, who do I think it is, isn't this Sun Hongmao, a mouse from the South China Sea." ”
Someone couldn't help but snicker, the South China Sea red ghost Sun Yimao fell into the mouth of this female official and became the South China Sea mouse Sun Hongmao, but if you look closely, this looks quite serious.
Sun Yimao's face was pale, and he was speechless for a while, he originally wanted to provoke Su Musha, but he didn't expect this woman to come forward, but it was not easy to answer.
"Oh, hehe~" The pretentious laughter came from Huang Yufeng: "Sun Yimao, you didn't make a single move under the Sword Saint back then, and today you dare to provoke the Sword Saint's apprentice." ”
Sun Yimao spat on the ground: "You fucking fart." ”
Some young juniors heard it and knew that there was still such a thing, no wonder this Sun Yimao was not convinced. However, it is a bit immoral to bully a junior while the master is not there.
Wei Buxiao jumped on Sun Yimao's table, rolled around with a grin, and clapped his hands: "Fight, fight." ”
Sun Yimao fought exactly this idea, the evil spirit of many years ago, how can it come out today.
"Today is the birthday banquet of Fang's seniors, and it's not good to fight." Someone spoke out.
Some people also wanted to watch the play and said: "The competition is over, and it can be regarded as adding some color to the birthday." ”
Because of jealousy of Su Musha, he said: "Yes, let everyone see how powerful the apprentice of the Sword Saint is." ”
……
Everyone has their own thoughts, and everyone has different opinions.
Shen Lingjun looked at the group of people with a smile, knocked on the table in front of Sun Yimao with a knife wrapped in brocade in his hand, raised his chin and pointed at him: "How about I fight with you?" ”
