Until I sent Yue Ling to the door of the house and watched her go in, I didn't ask her about the Liu family again. Looking at the calm appearance of the two captives before, the relationship between the Liu family and the government should be relatively close, and in case the old man also has something to do with them, it is easy to cause trouble if he asks.

Sure enough, you still have to check this matter yourself. I walked alone on the street late at night, thinking as I went.

As I walked and looked up, why was there a faint glow in the distance ahead? I identified it, it was the East.

I don't know why the faces of Rui Wei and Wang Shaoting suddenly appeared in my mind, and I sighed in my heart, and hurriedly trotted all the way in that direction.

When I ran to the edge of the city, I found that the gate was closed, and I saw two officers and soldiers standing there, and I was thinking about how to go over and fool them to help me open the gate, when I saw another officer and soldier hurrying down from the top of the city wall, and said to the two men standing guard below, "Have you two heard?" Silence is on fire! ”

The three words "Jingxuguan" touched my nerves at once, and I remember that it was the Taoist temple where Daoist Zhang was!

I don't know if Rui Wei and the two of them went to find Daoist Zhang, thinking like this, his heart immediately became anxious, and he couldn't wait to rush out of the city to see what was going on.

I was about to step forward when suddenly a hand slapped me on the shoulder from behind. It's not the first time I've been patted on the shoulder on the big night, and I'm usually very calm, but today I jumped two meters away with a "wow" and stared back at the back.

I saw Daddy Yan standing there holding up a hand and looking at me in a daze, as if he was startled by my reaction.

"Daddy! Why are you here? I asked, shocked.

He looked to the east and said, "I wasn't attracted to this yet. ”

"I heard that Jingxuguan caught fire, I don't know if Rui Wei and they went there, I'm in a hurry, I want to go over and talk to those officers and soldiers to see if they can get out of the city!" I said as I clutched my chest and calmed my heartbeat.

Dad stretched out his hand and pulled me, quickly turned to the alley next to him and stood still before saying, "You are crazy, there is a curfew at night in these big cities, and today is the summer solstice festival to relax a little." But it's so late now, it's already strange that you're hanging out on the street, and you're still going to talk to the officers and soldiers, what's the matter with wanting to die? ”

"Ah, and this, what should I do?" I asked, surprised.

"Didn't you tell Shaoting at that time that he had a signal? Have you seen a signal before? Daddy asked.

I wanted to say no, but when I was in the crowd just now, let alone a small flare, even a large artillery bomb might not be able to hear it, I really didn't dare to say so sure.

The two of them were hesitating, and suddenly a voice came from behind: "What are you two standing here?" ”

When I looked back, it was Wang Shaoting! Rui Wei stood behind him, still looking at me with a not-so-friendly look.

I immediately laughed and said, "Great, we don't have to go out over the wall." ”

Wang Shaoting said: "You have also seen the light of the east, right? That's the one we saw coming. ”

I looked at the three of them and thought: what time is it, the light of the fire in the distance, and it is only those of us who don't sleep at night that we who run around so closely to inquire about the situation.

"That's a fire in silence." I say.

When Wang Shaoting and Rui Wei heard this, they were also taken aback! First we encountered a strange plot on the road, and then we watched the fire, which obviously doesn't seem like a coincidence. Now we don't know much about the Liu family, and our side is in the open and the enemy is in the dark, so we are really a little passive.

I first asked my father if he had found any news just now, and he touched the short beard on his chin and said, "Well, the background of this Liu family is really not ordinary, the old lady is the adopted son of the former King of the Plains, and he was once one of the most beautiful." Although the family moved to Hejian after the death of the King of Pingyuan, the situation is not as good as before, but it is still the same clan of the current emperor, and even the magistrates of Hejian respect them a little. ”

I'm a little confused, this question of political background seems to be a bit far from what I'm going to ask!

When Dad talked about this, he looked left and right, and then lowered his voice and said: "I heard that in recent years, the old head of the Liu family has begun to favor Taoism and respect the study of Huang Lao. However, the young head of their family is called Liu Qing, who has always expressed disgust for this, and often has some quarrels.

When the Liu family began to die a few months ago, there were very few people who knew about it at first, but later it was the young head of his family who notified the government, moved his family, and offered a reward for catching ghosts, so that everyone knew about it. ”

This is quite interesting, a son who doesn't want to die early, and a son who doesn't want to live forever. I groaned.

The three of them often saw me like this, and they didn't interrupt, just staring at me like that, waiting for me to have a whim.

After a while, I turned to Wang Shaoting again and asked, "Where did you two go just now?" What's the catch? ”

Wang Shaoting looked at Rui Wei, but Rui Wei was silent, he had no choice but to say: "We went to the Liu family's mansion and found that the snakes that were eliminated last night were all gone, and everywhere seemed to have been cleaned, very clean, and there was not even a trace of residual blood. ”

When I heard him say this, a thought flashed through my mind, the Liu family specially came to find Rui Wei, and also deliberately showed off their local power, did they want to send us away quickly, lest we find something in the mansion again?

Hurriedly asked, "Have you looked in the house to see if there are any clues?" ”

Wang Shaoting nodded and said: "I found it, the big snake rushed out of the main house, we guessed that the bottom of the main house may be the location of the snake's den, and we wanted to go over to take a look, and found that it had been completely filled with soil." ”

He looked back at Rui Wei, as if waiting for her to add, but Rui Wei turned his head after glancing at me, and didn't say anything at all. He had to continue, "Hmm...... Rui Wei said that she had already checked in the main house when she first arrived there last night, and at that time she just thought that it was a place where yin qi was focused, and guessed that the problem was there, but before she could investigate carefully, Daoist Zhang had already arrived. ”

It's a pity, that day, because we were in a hurry to take Daoist Zhang back for treatment, we didn't pour out the time to carefully check the snake's den, and only thought about taking time to go the next day, but I didn't expect someone to deal with the aftermath so quickly. Daoist Zhang, speaking of him, I remember, when he reminded us to leave quickly, did he realize that the Liu family would be unfavorable to us? I don't know if he escaped in advance before watching the fire......

Just thinking about it, and thinking about meeting Rui Wei's eyes, she quickly dodged her gaze, still ignoring me and not speaking.

Alas, women, I sighed helplessly and said: "Auntie, I said nonsense in that kung fu, this night I was running around to find out about this matter, I was tired and scattered, if you don't sympathize with me, forget it, and still stare at me with your eyes, do you know that it will be unlucky to be stared at by a woman?" ”

She snorted and said, "What's wrong with me?" ”

"Why is it none of your business, don't we go to one place? Don't take a car? Don't you usually sit down at the same table to eat? Don't sleep in the same room? …… It's true that I don't sleep in the same room......" I said deliberately.

When she heard this, she was ashamed and angry, and she raised her fist to hit me, but I quickly dodged behind the other two people and said, "If you fight again, you won't have a good idea!" ”

"What's a good idea?" She was stunned for a moment, then stopped and asked.

"There's no point in us guessing here, if we don't enter the tiger's den, we won't get the tiger, why don't we go to the place where the Liu family lives now and take a walk?" I looked at them with interest and said.

"You mean, sneak in?" Wang Shaoting asked.

I shook my head and said, "No, just through the gate!" ”

Early the next morning, I appeared at the door of the Liu family's new house.

I'm still me, but my image has completely changed, I wear a plain slanted gown, a crumpled handkerchief near the neckline, and a low bun on my head, but I have a lot of black and white mixed hair down, and a half-wrapped turban, which almost covers half of my face. The face is not only blackened, but also full of wrinkles, coupled with a limp on the bow, in the eyes of outsiders, it is just a dirty old lady...... Yes, not an old man, but an old lady!

This is purely Rui Wei's original, not to say that if it is an old man, it is easy to make the other party defensive, and it has to be an old lady, so he picked me up from head to toe for a while, and concocted it like this.

But I wasn't the only one who was miserable, there was a man lying in front of me in the car covered with a white cloth, motionless and only one hand was exposed. If anyone dares to lift that white cloth to take a look, they will be scared and have nightmares for days! That face had been painted white, red, and black, and it was completely devoid, and it was more ugly than a ghost, but I have to say that it looked very much like a serious injury and died, and it was impossible to see it if you didn't look closely.

The actor of this dead corpse is, of course, the eldest young master Wang Shaoting, since he has successfully played the corpse once, how can he not act in friendship this time?

The farmer wearing a hat in the back of the cart is Daddy Yan, who is often responsible for all kinds of logistics work.

As for Rui Wei, he said that someone needed to respond from a distance, and he didn't know which big tree to hide in nearby at this time. In order to prevent my hairstyle from falling out and revealing my face, I couldn't look up, so I could only guess in my heart.

When I walked to the door of the Liu family's new house, I saw that although it was not as grand as the previous mansion, it was also very elegant and chic, and it was not an ordinary family at first glance.

As soon as my father stopped the car in front of the door, I threw myself to Wang Shaoting's side, beating my thighs and crying loudly in a small voice: "Oh, my son, why did you go!" How can I live in the future......"

After shouting a few words, the door opened with a "squeak", and a few housekeepers and maids came out, and they were all stunned when they saw this scene, and they stood there a little at a loss.

With the audience, I cried even harder, and shouted with my neck straight: "Son, even if you can't bear to leave your mother, how can you bear to leave your daughter-in-law who hasn't passed through the door...... Your daughter-in-law is a little rude, and it hurts to beat people, but how delicious the cooking is, and it is so good to you, if you leave like this, who will dare to marry her in the future......"

Hearing my inappropriate words, my father couldn't hold back a little smile on his face, and he quickly lowered his head and twisted his face so as not to be seen.

And the white cloth covering Wang Shaoting's face in front of him also trembled slightly, and he felt his uncontrollable breathing. I hurriedly pretended to cry and leaned on him and whispered: "Hey, pretend to be dead and pretend to be like a little, don't be angry!" ”

I only heard him whisper back in an extremely painful and suppressed voice: "Then please don't talk nonsense, okay?" ……”

I was smiling in my heart, and a person came out of the door, it was Liu Ding, who I had seen that day.

This man saw me, I didn't dare to look at him head-on, rushed over and threw myself at his feet and cried: "You are the big housekeeper, my son did an errand for you yesterday and ended up like this, you must pay me justice, I won't leave if I don't see your master today......"

Sure enough, he walked to the side of the cart, lifted the white cloth, and immediately covered it again, turned around and asked me, "Is this Liu Daqing or Liu Ergou?" ”

"It's the second dog, my poor son, he told me yesterday what carriage I was going to chase, and who knew that it would become like this when I went......" I cried. I thought, it turns out that the two people who were called this name yesterday, I don't know if Liu Ding has ever seen Liu Ergou's mother, if he knows the roots, he will be helped on the spot.

Unexpectedly, when he heard the words "chasing the carriage", his face immediately changed, and he hurriedly said to the subordinates behind him: "Quickly push him in first, what kind of system is it here!" ”

Dad pushed the cart and was about to go to the door, Liu Ding waved his hand to him and said, "You don't have to go in." Someone immediately came over to replace Dad and pushed Wang Shaoting into the courtyard.

I followed into the hospital, and I quickly glanced at him with my father, which meant: It's okay, we still have plan B.
