Chapter 3: Midnight Whispers
When this cat meow came out, Won Hyuk jumped straight out of bed.
There was a knife next to his bed, and he pulled it out now, his eyes as fierce as a wolf.
The cat was just outside the door, and said in a very flirtatious voice, "If you have the guts, come out." ”
"I'll kill you!" Won Hyuk almost roared and pushed the door out, there were a few sleepy servants standing outside his door, all of them should not be awakened at this moment.
Outside, it was empty.
"Master, what's wrong?" The housekeeper came in a hurry with someone, and at this time everyone was asleep, still a little sleepy-eyed.
Won Hyuk roared with red eyes: "That damn cat is still here, find it for me!" ”
Many slaves were woken up in their sleep, and they were already miserable. Everyone thinks that their master must be crazy, and it seems that he should find a Lang Zhong to come over tomorrow to take a look.
The housekeeper said with a bitter face: "Master, where can I find this black light?" ”
Yuan Hyuk shouted, "If you can't find that cat, no one is allowed to sleep!" ”
At this time, the cat's voice sounded in Wonhyuk's ears again.
"Your wife and children are in my hands. If you want to save them, put the money at the door of your house. How much you put depends on how important your wife and children are in your heart. ”
That strange voice rang in Wonhyuk's ears.
The voice was not loud, but Won Hyuk felt a buzz in his head.
Letting his wife and children leave is Wonhyuk's means for the future. Prevent him from harming his family if he is punished by the Empress in the future.
This was done very covertly, and he even sent a lot of guards to escort it. Those people are all masters of his snares.
How could it be, it was known.
Won Hyuk's cold sweat suddenly broke out, and he knew that he was threatened.
Wonhyuk called the butler and asked, "Where have they gone?"
The butler replied, "Madame and Young Master, they left the city this morning, and they are probably still on their way." ”
Yuan He said anxiously: "Hurry up and send a fast horse to find it!" ”
The butler was puzzled: "Master, now that the city gates are all closed, we can't get out at all." ”
Yuan Hyuk just patted his head, and now the city gate has been closed. Even if he is an official scholar, he does not have the power to open the city gate. Without the emperor's decree, no one could open the gates at night.
It is obviously impossible to go to the palace to ask for the holy decree now, and it is impossible for him to tell the emperor that he has met a monster in his own house, and he wants to open the city gate and send people to check the whereabouts of his wife and children.
Yuan He tried to calm himself down, and instructed the butler: "Find some silver from the treasure house, and by the way, send someone to the Demon Hunt Division, and quickly invite Lord Tang over!" ”
The steward asked, "How much money?" ”
Yuan Hyuk said anxiously: "Take it all...... No! Grab a box first! ”
After the butler brought over a box of money, Won Hyuk placed it in front of his room as the voice commanded.
The housekeeper whispered, "Master, I have already sent someone to call Lord Tang." ”
After speaking, seeing Yuan He's appearance, he said with some fear: "Master, could it be that you have a nightmare?" ”
Neither the steward nor the servant heard what the monster said.
Yuan Hyuk glared at him: "Shut up!" ”
Everyone was staring at the box, but there was not the slightest movement.
One of the servants yawned untimely, but immediately put back his bearings. None of the others spoke, but judging by their tired expressions, they were struggling to persevere.
Won Hyuk was also tired from a day, but he didn't dare to fall asleep.
The death of the concubine is still vivid, and Won Hyuk is afraid that he will wake up and end up with the same fate as his concubine.
After a long time, there was still no movement in the box of silver taels.
At this time, there was a noisy sound of footsteps outside.
Tang Yun walked in, followed by several soldiers from the Demon Hunting Division, carrying all kinds of weapons in their hands.
Jing Liang had several iron chains wrapped around his body, and a huge sickle wrapped around his waist, which stunned everyone.
If it weren't for the fact that he was still wearing a black brocade robe, I'm afraid everyone would have regarded him as a bandit.
"Lord Tang, that voice ...... Again! As if he had found a savior, Yuan Hyuk hurriedly ran to Tang Yun.
Tang Yun winked, and suddenly all the soldiers of the Demon Hunting Division behind him rushed into the courtyard.
Tang Yun asked, "Yuan Shilang, tell me carefully, what happened?" ”
Yuan Hyuk told Tang Yun everything that happened, and now the key is to save the lives of his wife and children, Yuan Hyuk only said that his wife and son should go back to their hometown to visit relatives.
Tang Yun walked to the side of the silver box and lifted the box open, and the silver ingots inside were neatly arranged.
"So, the youkai didn't take it?" Tang Yun frowned.
Yuan He nodded and said, "With so many of us watching, that monster shouldn't dare to show up." ”
Tang Yun shook his head: "If he has the ability, even if you all focus here, it won't help." ”
Tang Yun asked again: "Are all the people in the entire mansion here now?" ”
Won Hyuk replied yes, but before he could finish speaking, he heard a woman's scream from the inner courtyard.
Jing Liang walked out with an embarrassed face, and a little girl wearing a thin gauze dress ran out with a pitiful look. As soon as he ran out, he hid in Yuan He's arms and looked at Jing Liang with some fear.
It was the frost that ran out.
Tang Yun knew with a glance that this should be Yuan He's concubine.
He was not interested in any of this, and glanced around, and the vast majority of those present were subordinates of the Yuan Mansion.
Tang Yun wondered; "Yuan Shilang, have all your family gone back to their hometown to visit relatives?"
Yuan Hyuk replied, "Yes, now I am left alone in the house." ”
"Then you are in the capital, do you have any relatives or anything?" Tang Yun continued to ask.
Seeing that Yuan He was still a little puzzled, Tang Yun explained: "Since the monster doesn't kill you, then it wants to torture you." As is customary, it wants to take revenge on a person, and it is likely to implicate his family. If you think about it again, do you still have any relatives in the capital? ”
Yuan He thought about it, and suddenly his face changed.
I remember!
It's my nephew!
Tang Yun brought people to Jin Wuwei, Yuan He's nephew was named Sun Ying, and he was a lieutenant general in the Yulin Army.
The people in the Jinwuwei Yamen said that General Sun had gone to inspect Suzaku Street today.
Yuan He's face suddenly softened, and he said, "It's okay, there are a lot of people on Suzaku Street." Even if it's a youkai, don't dare to do it blatantly. ”
Tang Yun didn't speak, and everyone just arrived at Suzaku Street and found that everything was still the same.
A team of Jin Wuwei was called, and they said that it was convenient for the general to find a place to go.
Yuan Hyuk smiled and said, "Why don't we wait for him to come out." ”
Tang Yun said in a deep voice: "Where did he go?" ”
Jin Wuwei pointed to a corner, and Tang Yun immediately rushed over.
There was a tree in that corner, and a man was hanging from the tree, his body swaying back and forth with the wind.
