Chapter Thirty-Nine: The One Who Sets Fire to the Mountain
The houses in the Limen Lane of East Street shrouded in night are lit with candles, the silk and bamboo are pleasant, and Li Yuanwai's mansion is divided into the entire East Street, and you can hear the wonderful song on the left and right.
Li Yuanwai was lying on his back on a rattan chair, covered with a tiger fur, and the steward served a cup of honey tea and said: "The master is really far-sighted, and the singing and dancing within a radius of several miles are all covered by our house." ”
"It's because you have little vision." Li Yuanwai drank a large sip of honey tea, and exhaled a hot breath in his mouth.
"When I chose this house, everyone in the family was dissuading, and even you stopped me, I was very sad."
The steward lowered his head and pursed his lips and smiled ashamedly.
In the courtyard garden, the silver bell-like laughter of the two young ladies was accompanied by singing and dancing music, and a group of maids and maids chased after them to protect them, and although they were covered with velvet blankets, they were still worried that the young ladies would fall.
Mrs. Li stood in the door with a one-year-old child in her arms, and followed the two young ladies closely, "Run slower, I don't know who is following when I jump up and down like a monkey?" In the future, it is good to talk about marriage and how to get married. ”
"Madam, you are really worried, Pingping and An An are only eight years old now, early!" Li Yuanwai waved his hand to cheer for his daughters, and smiled heartily, "You see that the third young lady of the Ruan family has been pampered since she was a child, and she is better than our daughters, so isn't it a climate of its own today?" ”
Mrs. Li sighed, how much money did you make, and you are in a faction of its own? I don't know what the charm of Miss Ruan San, who regards fun as her top priority, makes Li Yuanwai often praise her.
The hair on the cheeks was led by the baby child, and Mrs. Li lowered her head and smiled at the child Li Suiwan in her arms, cooing and teasing.
Li Sui's fat little hand broke out of the swaddling clothes and pointed into the distance, and the melodious opera came from the other end of Limen Lane, and a different tune attracted him to sing along with him.
"It seems that Sui Sui likes the music on the Sande Mansion very much, sir, you-" Mrs. Li turned her head to look at the courtyard, Li Yuanwai had already fallen asleep in his coat, and the snoring was shocking.
"That's what life is unpredictable...... The remnants of life are a line of Fu Jingtao......"
The accompanying troupe of red horns sang in the pavilion, and the huge figure of the big man hurriedly flashed in front of the stage, and after a while, he walked to Sande's side and leaned over and said a few words in his ear.
"Gone!?"
The horns on the stage stopped, the drums stopped suddenly, and the interested maid knew that something big had happened, and waved them away.
The light of the stage reflected Sande's thick eyebrows, and his teeth were also glowing red. "Even if you are eaten by wolves in the wilderness, you have to leave a few bones, find them!"
Dahan said: "Many footprints were found on both sides of the ravine, and the people below guessed that they were left by the woodcutters on the mountain. ”
The people of Pingyang are all timid and afraid under the governance of He Fangnian's stubborn donkey, and when they encounter murder and harm, they don't want to report to the yamen, if the two bodies have been found, I am afraid that the entire Pingyang Mansion is already known to everyone at this moment.
The two went back to the room while talking, and Sande was so angry that he punched the corner of the table. "Then find out who found the body, and if there is a cat, solve it immediately!"
The big man should have turned around to leave, and Sande said again: "Call the fifth and fourteenth of the first month." ”
Jin Yiwei and Lu Jin's soldiers were still released by He Fangnian in the end.
There is still some time before Lord Qin replies to the letter, and let them each breathe a sigh of relief, because He Fangnian is confident that as long as people are in Pingyang Mansion, under his control, no one will be able to turn over half a day.
Han Fourteen Hang'er Lang jumped in, "Pingyang is really an outstanding person, and my father-in-law's skin is a lot whiter and tenderer." ”
Sande smiled and touched his face, and his eyes fell on Chu Wu, who was closing the door later, "I have something to do with you tonight, and the bounty is on the table, so you can do as much as you want." ”
"Yo, a lot, my father-in-law is really generous." Han Fourteen weighed the weight of the gold bars and whispered to Chu Wu, "What do you mean?" ”
Chu Wu Dao: "What Lord Qin means is what I mean." ”
When Lord Qin came, he instructed the father-in-law of Sande to meet any requirements as much as possible, Han Fourteen shook his hands, and it should be enough to buy these "as much as possible".
Seeing that the two of them were satisfied, Sande got up and took out a map, "You two come here tonight to explore, I want to burn the mountain." ”
……
There were no pedestrians on the dark streets, and even a few birds that came out of the night could not be found, and the three-fist martial arts hall in Limen Lane suddenly lit up with candlelight.
"It's not safe at night, Brother Zhi, don't go, besides, the city gate is closed, and you can't get out." The woman's voice was full of concern.
After a while, a boy walked to the door of his parents' room in a sleepy state, "Dad, I'll go with you." ”
"Ma Dan, you are at home with your mother, who will take care of her when our father is gone?" Chen Zhi, the curator of the Three Fists Martial Arts Gym, listened while tying up his cloak and speaking to his son Chen Ma.
Chen Zhi hoarded a batch of red tassel guns in Shilipo outside the city, which should have been sent into the city today, but in the past few days, the woodcutters outside the city have been crazy to transport firewood to the city one after another, and the city gate is congested, so his goods naturally can't come in.
He had already fallen asleep, planning to pick up the goods in person tomorrow, but he slept until midnight and was suddenly woken up by the babbling ghost howl of East Street, and he was worried about the goods for no reason, so he decided to take a look.
"The gatekeeper knows me, so I ask him to be accommodating." No matter how bad it was, he personally went to the newly recruited apprentice Xu Yuan to help.
Chen Zhiwei's back disappeared into the night, He Niang looked at it for a long time, covered her heart with one hand, patted Chen Ma's back with the other and said: "Son, you go to find Xu Ergongzi, my mother always feels unsteady in my heart." ”
Chen Ma hurriedly put on his clothes, and He Niang wrapped his cloak for him, and then rushed to the Xu family.
The porter on Li Yuanwai's house went out to change the lantern, and saw a face flashing in front of him, and hurriedly shouted: "Hey, Chen Jialang!" ”
Chen Ma had to stop his feet, "Uncle, what's the matter?" ”
"Where are you going so late? Does your father and mother care about you? ”
Chen Ma said in his heart that the less people knew about his father's trip out of the city at night, the better, and replied: "My mother has a cough, it's very serious, I'll go to the doctor." ”
"Oh, then you go, this disease can't be delayed, go quickly." The porter turned and walked into the house, and the steward happened to come to inspect and asked him, "Who?" ”
The porter said 1510, and the two of them didn't care much, and the daughter-in-law of the Chen family was not sick for a day or two, and it was common to ask for a doctor.
……
"Nonsense!" Gu Ren covered the white cloth, and the two corpses without eyeballs suddenly disappeared in front of him, "I let you sneak in, but I didn't let you bring the corpses." ”
Lord Yu was still wearing the clothes of an old woman, but her outfit had changed back to ordinary people, and her black sideburns and beautiful face were beautiful. As soon as she moved, the other woodcutters made way for her.
"There is something strange about this corpse, which is why my subordinates took the risk to send them into the city." With a hook of the tip of his shoe, the white cloth was lifted again to reveal two hideous faces. "Their eyes were gouged out with their bare hands, and they died painfully, quickly and painfully."
Gu Ren stared at the corpse and couldn't make up his mind for a moment.
"General Gu, are you resting?"
It's a question!
Gu Ren immediately made a gesture, and everyone was about to withdraw, when they heard Wen'er say, "If you don't sleep, the slave and maid will leave after saying a word." ”
