Chapter 17 The blood is suspicious, and the dock is looking for someone

"You better not go back to the table." Twilight took a handkerchief from her sleeve and handed it over, deliberately avoiding her delicate face.

Shi Niang was not polite, and after taking it, she wrapped her bleeding finger with it.

She didn't want to go back to die, once Liu Tianye found out, she didn't even have the ability to protect herself.

Feng Duhan took her out of the garden, and Shi Niang hurriedly greeted the housekeeper in the house, only prevaricating that she was unwell, and left the Shangshu Mansion with Xiaocui.

Feng Duhan hid in no one's place, staring at Shi Niang from a distance as she went out of the house, her cold eyes narrowed slightly, and she called: "Tsing Yi." ”

A cyan shadow appeared out of thin air, "What does the prince command!" ”

"You go and keep an eye on her, and don't act rashly."

"Yes!" In the blink of an eye, Tsing Yi was gone.

Twilight was about to walk back along the garden, when she suddenly caught a glimpse of a handkerchief on the ground, with a trace of red blood on it.

Feng Duhan walked over, and the cold star under his eyes seemed to be partially hidden, which was exactly what he lent to Shi Niang just now to wrap his fingers, but he didn't expect to be thrown directly on the ground by her.

If it were another woman, it would have been washed white, and then it would be used as an excuse to see him again at all costs.

And this woman named Shi Niang didn't think about him at all, is it really like what she did in her poem, in her heart, there is already a son?

As soon as he flicked his sleeve, a scarlet ball fell into his palm, and he threw it on the ground, and in an instant, the silk handkerchief burst into flames, and in a matter of moments it turned into a cloud of ashes.

He glanced at the mass of ashes and turned to leave.

At this moment, a gentle breeze blew, bringing with it a rouge-like aroma.

The wind and twilight were cold, and the footsteps were stagnant.

The garden is quiet, there is no one else nearby at all, where does the aroma of rouge come from?

He carefully discerned the source of the aroma, and finally his gaze fell on the ash on the ground.

He leaned down and gently stirred the ashes, and sure enough, the scent came from it.

The silk handkerchief was his thing, and it naturally carried the smell of his body, but he never brought sachets and incense or anything like that, and it was not close to women, how could it emit such a fragrance?

The aroma seemed familiar, and he frowned slightly......

It looks like rouge, but when you smell it, you feel faint, with some cold fragrance......

A strong wind blew, and the ashes dissipated with the wind, and returned to the wind, without a trace.

Shi Niang hurriedly left Shangshu Mansion with Xiaocui.

Halfway through the carriage, Shi Niang suddenly stopped the carriage and asked the coachman to divert to the river.

Looking at the center of the river from afar, the canopy is light and full of white sails.

Shi Niang let the carriage move slowly along the dock, and she herself stared intently outside, as if looking for something.

Suddenly there was a noisy shouting sound from the direction of the dock, interspersed with rude shouting and beating.

Looking for prestige, he saw a large group of sturdy men working as coolies gathered on the dock, and they were beating up one person.

The man who had been beaten fell to the ground, covered in blood, but his eyes shone brightly, and he did not show any fear at all, and he shrank his body, allowing the men to beat him wantonly, and did not fight back.

A middle-aged man stood aside and said disdainfully: "Dare to steal something on the master's territory, it seems that he doesn't want to live anymore, give me a hard beating!" ”

For a while, his fists and feet flew wildly, and he couldn't see clearly what the situation of the person who was beaten in the middle was at all.

And in contrast to the expressions of those who beat people, it was those who stood in the outermost circle and watched.

Most of them were carrying goods on the dock to earn a living, and they looked at the beaten man in the middle, but their faces showed unbearable expressions.

Shi Niang stopped the carriage and instructed Xiao Cui, "Go down and inquire, what's going on?" ”

Xiao Cui's eyes widened in shock, "Girl, those people who beat people are all snakes on the dock, we can't afford to provoke them!" ”

Shi Niang was surprised: "Do you know those people? ”

Xiao Cui's eyes were gloomy: "Before the slave was sold to Chunxiang Building, Daddy was working as a coolie on the dock and was beaten to death by these people......"

Shi Niang looked out of the car window again, the man who was beaten had blood on his head and body, but he didn't even say a word of begging for mercy, let alone explaining half a sentence for himself.

Shi Niang nodded, sure enough, he was a tough guy, and the person she was looking for was him.
