Chapter 22: The Strange Mother-in-law and Daughter-in-law

Chen Ju was lying a few steps away from the mouth of the alley, and as long as he walked out of these steps, there was a road ahead.

He Huan stood in front of the corpse with a pale face, and a guard squatted on the side to check, "I was stabbed in the stomach first, and then I fell off the horse." ”

He Huan didn't pay attention to this, he paid attention to the three incense sticks.

The incense that has burned half of the three sticks means that the murderer has not been gone for long.

The people around him whispered: "It seems to be paying tribute to someone." ”

He Huan sneered and asked, "Who does Chen Ju have a grudge with?" ”

The man next to him said: "Chen Jushen lives in a simple place, either here or at home, or going to the Qinglou. ”

He Huan thought about it calmly, and the people around him quieted down, only the various voices coming from the people inside the walls on both sides. After a long time, he said: "In other words, the biggest possibility is the Qinglou...... and people are jealous of fighting for women. ”

He Huan couldn't imagine that the henchmen around him were killed because of jealousy, and the He family didn't have a face to see when it was spread.

The man next to him looked embarrassed, "No." ”

He Huan turned around and asked, "Why?" ”

The man said a little uncomfortably: "What Chen Ju likes is...... The old ones have no one to rob them. ”

He Huan was speechless for a moment, and said coldly: "That's the opponent of the He family." Memorial...... This is the explanation of who killed the other party. Who did Ho kill lately? ”

A stubborn old man came to everyone's minds, and the old man refused to close his eyes after his death, which still makes people feel chills in their hearts.

He Huan gritted his teeth and said, "That old dog who is not sorry to die...... Yancheng! ”

Before he could finish speaking, the guards who were checking the cause of Chen Ju's death moved his body.

A slight voice came, and a cold light flashed.

The man next to He Huan grabbed him and pulled him violently, and at the same time warned, "Be careful!" ”

Short arrows grazed He Huan's cheeks, and screams came from behind him.

"Ahh

It didn't take long for the guards behind him to turn black and silent. Someone checked it, looked up and said, "The poison quenched by the arrow can't be found clearly, and Chang'an has never appeared." ”

He Huan looked carefully at the small crossbow arrow that was sent to his eyes, and he was afraid for a while. If he hadn't been pulled apart, he would have fallen to the ground now.

The workmanship of the crossbow bolts is not exquisite, and the materials are not very good, but it is these simple materials that constitute a sharp weapon for killing.

The crossbow was also very small and rough, and the guard who checked it said in disbelief: "The bowstring will be much weaker if you pull it again, this is ......", he looked up and felt that the person who started it was poor!

He Huan turned around, his face blushing, "If you find this person, you have to see people in life, and you have to see corpses in death!" ”

On a tree diagonally opposite the He Gate, Yang Xuan squatted on the trunk and said softly, "It's a pity that I couldn't kill He Huan." ”

He quietly descended from the tree and bowed his hand in the direction of the three sticks of incense.

……

Wang.

Wang Douxiang was sitting in the study, holding a book in her hand, and when she heard the footsteps outside, she was a little sneaky, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but have a hint of a smile.

The people outside rushed in and shouted, "Second uncle! ”

Wang Douxiang jumped up suddenly, and said with a frightened face: "Who?!" ”

"It's me!" Wang Xian'er smiled very happily.

"Xian'er!" Wang Douxiang sat down with a smile, "Naughty!" ”

Wang Xian'er looked at the bookshelf with her hands behind her back, "Second uncle, it's so boring at home." ”

Wang Douxiang said angrily: "Then go study." ”

Wang Xian'er shook her head, her sideburns swayed, and asked curiously: "Aya said that there has been an undercurrent in Chang'an City recently, so let me not go out." Second uncle, where is the undercurrent surging? ”

Wang Yu came in from outside, and he frowned and said, "Xian'er is here to make trouble with the second uncle again." ”

Under the candlelight, Wang Xian'er said dissatisfiedly: "Second uncle likes me to come here the most, I don't believe you ask." ”

Wang Douxiang, "Yes! ”

Wang Yu's face turned dark and said, "I have something to say with my second uncle." ”

Wang Xian'er obediently retired, and after going out, she faintly heard what her brother said......

"Second uncle, Yan Cheng was killed today, and the He family is the person behind the scenes."

Yan Cheng?

The girl tilted her head and thought about it, as if she remembered who had mentioned it, saying that it was a very stubborn old man. Killed? He is really too domineering.

Wang Douxiang's voice was a little disdainful, "He Huan is the most proud dog of the Yang family, the last shot failed, this time the blow was successful, how many people in Chang'an City will cheer for it." ”

Wang Xian'er has seen He Huan, the last time this person came to Wang's gift to talk about something, the two met in a hurry, He Huan smiled, and the look of surprise in his eyes was not disguised.

Wang Yu said softly: "Just before, Chen Ju, He's staff, was killed, at the mouth of the alley where He's was located. ”

Wang Xian'er pursed her mouth, thinking that this person died well.

"It's good to die." Wang Douxiang heard her niece's movement outside, and said gently, "Xian'er come in." ”

Wang Xian'er explained first when she came in, "Second uncle, I didn't eavesdrop. ”

Wang Yu said angrily: "Why don't you leave if you don't eavesdrop?" ”

Wang Xian'er was angry, Wang Douxiang hurriedly glared at Wang Yu, "It's good to speak, don't be fierce Xian'er." ”

Wang Yu said helplessly: "Second uncle, you can spoil her." ”

The candle flame exploded violently, and the fire flashed, and Wang Yu said: "He Huan went to check, and it is said that he was almost shot by the crossbow laid by the murderer. ”

Wang Douxiang was stunned, "There are a lot of killings in Chang'an City, but this kind of ambush is unheard of, how can the old man feel more like ...... Hunt? ”

Wang Yu had a name in his mind, but then he smiled dumbly, feeling that he was thinking inexplicably.

Wang Douxiang also thought of Yang Xuan, and said, "The old man thought of Yang Xuan, that young man is a hunter, but he is studying in Guozijian, where will he conflict with the He family?" ”

After the last siege of Yancheng was destroyed by Yang Xuan, the He clan blocked the news. In addition, Yang Xuan is just a country boy, so he passed quietly.

Wang Xian'er put her hands on her cheeks and suddenly asked, "Big brother, is Guozijian fun?" ”

Wang Yu frowned, feeling that her sister wanted to play a play, "What are you playing?" That's where metaphysics comes in. ”

The candlelight shone on Wang Xian'er's face, and she said longingly: "Metaphysics is not bad!" ”

Wang Yu sneered, "Metaphysics boasting is not bad. If it weren't for the fact that the head of the sect had saved Emperor Wu and begged Emperor Wu to help before leaving, Emperor Wu had no choice but to hand over the Guozijian to Xuanxue, and Xuanxue would have starved to death. ”

Wang Douxiang also smiled, "Metaphysics is not good at building momentum, and there is a lack of such a wide range of teachings in the teachings, so it has been dead for many years." Wouldn't it be nice to have some potential, most of them hide in the mountains to cultivate, or find a mountain forest and talk with their fellow Taoists every day. ”

Wang Yu finally said: "The He family has dispatched many manpower frantically, and Jin Wuwei's has also been dispatched to find clues of the murderer in Chang'an City. The He family offered a reward of 100,000 yuan for the news of that person, and those evil young men and rangers also went out. ”

Wang Douxiang looked at the night sky outside and said softly: "Tonight, Chang'an has no sleep." ”

……

Yang Xuan quietly returned home from the broken wall, washed his clothes first, and found a patch after washing, and said dissatisfiedly: "Life is already difficult, can't you hold on for a while?" ”

It can't be repaired yet, otherwise the clothes will be deformed when they dry.

He then went to take a cool shower, and when he returned, he sat down on the steps and solemnly placed the scroll at his side. Even when he poured water, he poured two bowls, one in front of him and one in front of the scroll, as if he was sitting side by side with a friend.

The moon shines like water. There are trees in the yard, which Yang Xuan only pruned yesterday. At this moment, the night breeze is blowing, and the branches and leaves rustle, which is particularly clear in the quiet night.

He lifted the bowl and touched the bowl on his side, and said, "The first time I killed people was in the mountains, when I was eleven years old, and there were hunters in the Southern Zhou Dynasty who had bad intentions and wanted to intercept me and take my prey by the way. I pretended to be scared while pondering how to kill someone, and finally I realized that all the pondering was useless, and I was still hacked to death one by one. ”

The scroll next to him flashed green in the moonlight.

Yang Xuan put down the bowl and wiped his mouth, "I was scared of killing someone for the first time, and I hid in the mountains for a long time, I think Ye Niang, but I know that if I go back and say that I killed someone, they will definitely beat me up." Subsequently...... Thinking about it now, then they will see me as a bane and kill me if they don't find an opportunity. ”

He looked up at the night sky, and above the sky, the stars twinkled with stars.

"I went hunting in the mountains when I was 10 years old, and I was very ...... at first It's sad. It takes a lot of time to enter the mountains at a time, and in the evening you will find a place to stay. Raise a bonfire, scorch your prey, listen to the rustling of flesh, smell the meat...... Eating and drinking, looking up at the stars, that was my only happy time. ”

"I didn't know why I was alive." Yang Xuan scratched his head, "I just want to live, right." He said in an affirmative tone, "I just want to live." ”

He lifted the bowl and took another sip, only to realize that it hadn't touched the other bowl, so he touched it and took another sip.

After a hiccup, Yang Xuan leaned against the door and said calmly: "At that time, I felt that the sky was gray, and I would never see the light. I don't know why I'm rejected by Ye Niang. Big brother, they are lazy and rely on me to support their family, but they have good things but they eat behind my back, even if I see them, they will ignore them. ”

He suddenly laughed, "I prayed to the heavens, prayed to the gods for help, probably because my voice was too quiet, or because I was too far away from the heavens and the gods didn't hear, so my life is still the same." ”

"Later, I longed for Muramasa to administer justice for me, but Muramasa never squinted every time he met me. I expected the occasional little officials to do justice for me, but they didn't even raise their eyelids. ”

Yang Xuan picked up the bowl and said, "From then on, I knew that you have to speak for yourself, and you have to love those who speak for you. ”

He raised the bowl to the sky and said, "Yan Gong, this bowl respects you." ”

He bowed his head and solemnly poured the water from the bowl in front of him.

The green light of the scroll next to him is always on, but there is no prompt unexpectedly.
