21, the magic of the thief
The next morning, Lu Li gave Chenggu medicine through Erdan, and Chenggu fell asleep. Lu Li hired a few carriages, moved all the valuable things of Chenggu's family to the car, and pulled them into the city together with Chenggu, and deployed the three houses in the back garden of the pedestrian mansion to be the same as Chenggu's house. At the same time, four bronze tripods were erected in the backyard. Chenggu woke up and saw Erdan sitting beside him, and he was immediately happy. When you enter the courtyard and look at your own bronze tripod, you are even happier. As a result, he lived in the pedestrian mansion in a daze, and was with Erdan all day long.
He asked a doctor in the city to treat him, but he did not cooperate, saying that he was not sick and sent the doctor away.
Contemptuously decided to implement the divine law suggested by Chenggu and pulled out the silver beam.
On the day of the execution, in the courtyard of the pedestrian mansion, more than 30 soldiers stood unarmed. Lu Li stood majestically aside. In front of the soldier was a makeshift stone platform with three plates of fruit on it. Dressed in a magician's costume and carrying a cane, he came out of the house. All the soldiers exclaimed: "Ah! Then it was even more solemn.
Contemptuously came to the altar slowly, with a solemn expression, first glanced at the soldiers, and then slowly turned around, turned his back to the soldiers, faced the altar, and raised the crutch in his hand, pointing to the sky.
"God forbid!" Defiantly began to speak in English again, as much as she could, which forced her to search for words and phrases, which annoyed her. But this kind of pretense is essential. "I am here to pray to you that you will bless us with all the best. I want to insist on justice and fight against evil, please give me courage. We had an incident here, and somebody kidnapped my man in the middle of the night, and it was a child, and he beat him, and then he was dumped in the mountains, trying to let the wolves eat him. They hatched a conspiracy to kill a man's entire family and make me their accomplice, which is absolutely not permissible. Therefore, what I am doing today is to find out who they are, find out the manipulators behind the scenes, and restore a clean slate in the world. ”
She turned slowly, her eyes closed. The crutch in her hand slowly drew half a circle from the air, falling towards the canopy. The soldiers all looked at the crutch.
Outside the open gate, there were many people standing, all of them ordinary people, whispering: "Ah, this is the goddess, what is she doing?" "What a strange look for the goddess!" "I heard that one of her children was beaten and almost died, and she is looking for the murderer." "Oh my god! Look at this frame, she'll definitely find it. "What is she reading?" Wow, wow, wow, inaudible. "Then who knows. I heard that she was invited by King Xu and can exorcise ghosts! ”
Behind the crowd, there was a beggar standing, who was actually dressed as Ning Hu. He looked worriedly, then turned around and left in a hurry, directly entering Jin Yan's mansion.
In the main hall, Jin Yan slowly tasted tea, preoccupied. Ning Hu hurriedly came in, he raised his head, and immediately said dissatisfiedly, "You forgot? There is calm in every big event! ”
"Yes, yes, yes!" Ning Hu hurriedly admitted his mistake. He leaned over and said in a low voice, "Qin Wuran has already started to do it. Brother Yinliang, nothing will happen, right? ”
"What can it be?"
"I look at that Lu Li, he can do anything." Ning Hu swallowed, "My lord, you said, Qin Contempt, she ...... She...... She...... Really not a goddess? ”
Jin Yan's eyes stared at him tightly: "What do you say?" ”
"I think...... I see, sir. She...... She...... She still has ...... Skillful. ”
Jin Yan glared: "Idiot! What do you see of her? ”
"I'm ...... I didn't see it, but ...... It's scary. ”
"Let's go again!"
"Yes, yes!" Ning Hu hurriedly ran away.
The contempt had reached the critical moment, and the crutches in their hands began to point at the soldiers. Many of the soldiers were trembling and frightened, and some of the child soldiers were so frightened that they were about to cry.
"Angry hair rushes to the crown, leaning on the railing, Xiaoxiao rain rests." recited Yue Fei's "Man Jianghong" with contempt. This time, though, she read it in English. She felt that reading it in Chinese was very easy to understand, and it was more mysterious and sacred to read it in English. "Look up at the sky, look up to the sky, and be fierce. Thirty fame, dust and earth, eight thousand miles of clouds and moons. Don't wait, the young man's head is white, empty and sad. Jing Kang shame, You Weixue; The courtiers hate, when will it be destroyed, drive a long car to break through the lack of Helan Mountain! ……”
The more contemptuous he thought, the more intense his emotions became. She seemed to really see a fierce Yue Pengju, looking towards the sky and the earth. Although they didn't understand the words, the soldiers, including Lu Li, as well as Sister-in-law Jiang and Masako, who were cowering in the contemptuous house, were all infected, like tied chickens. Masako cried and grabbed Sister-in-law Jiang's hand and clung tightly. Sister-in-law Jiang trembled all over, feeling that it was going to be over, and she would definitely communicate with God and know all her sins. Not only will she not be able to get Lu Li, but she will also die in Huangquan.
The contemptuous crutch designated a man, none other than Silver Beam. His eyes were sometimes closed, sometimes they were slightly open, and he saw the silver beam in the team. Yinliang was shocked, his body began to tremble, and finally he couldn't support it anymore, and fell to the ground with a "poof". The soldiers were in an uproar and dodged away. There was only a silver beam in the circle of people, and it fell there. He was shaking, the muscles of his face twitching, his eyes seemed to roll white, and his mouth moved but he couldn't speak.
Contemptuous eyes opened slightly. "Amen!" She suddenly yelled in Chinese, and pointed her stick firmly at Yinliang.
Lu Li shouted: "Drag him over!" But the soldiers were too frightened to move. Lu Li took a big stride, went over, and vigorously picked up the silver beam and carried it to the altar.
Seemingly extremely tired, Scorn whispered a few words to him. Lu Li waved his hand into the house, and Erdan came out, supported Contempt, and helped her into the house. Lu Li shouted to the soldiers: "The person who kidnapped Erdan has been found, it is Yinliang!" ”
The soldiers were surprised: "He did it, but why did he kidnap Erdan?" ”
Lu Li shouted loudly: "Line up!" The soldiers hurriedly stood up. Lu Li's eyes stared at a person: "If you want Hu, get out of the ranks!" The soldier named Yaohu, whose legs were weak, slowly came out of the ranks, and suddenly knelt down and kowtowed like pounding garlic: "My lord, I know that I am wrong!" On duty the night before, I did fall asleep, resulting in the kidnapping of Erdan. I didn't do my duty, please raise your hand and spare me once! ”
Lu Li shouted: "You are still confused! The goddess told me just now that when you were at your post, you were poisoned and unconscious, so you fell asleep,"
"Huh?" Not only Hu, but also the other soldiers were all amazed. "Poisoned? Even know about this, the goddess is really a god! ”
Lu Li shouted: "You want Hu, return to the team!" ”
Hu didn't come back to his senses for a while, looked around like a frightened little mouse, and finally understood, didn't punish him again, and returned to the queue in a panic.
Lu Li said: "The goddess said that Yinliang still has accomplices who helped kidnap and climb over the city wall, but she doesn't want to pursue it now, and hopes that these people will automatically confess." Someone came, and put the silver beam into the barracks, and showed it to the people for three days. According to our military law, Yinliang should be beheaded! I'm also responsible. I will repay my king and ask for it! ”
Yinliang was taken away by the soldiers, and two soldiers were left in the courtyard to continue to stand guard, both standing upright and energetic. Lu Li entered the house and saw Contemptuously sitting in his room, with Erdan, Sister-in-law Jiang, and Yazi standing beside him. It turned out that Chenggu was practicing, and at this time, he closed his eyes and recuperated, he would not get sick, and Erdan could leave him temporarily.
"My lord," Lu Li arched his hand, "I have asked the silver beam to be put back to the barracks, what else do you have to advise?" ”
"For some time to come," he said disdainfully, "we people," he drew a circle with his hand, and drew everyone in the room in, "there will be no more trouble." But Yinliang kidnapped, there must be people behind the scenes, I hope they can confess automatically, and I don't need to bother to say more. If anyone is lucky and wants to play with fire, I will definitely put him to death again. Lu Li, you can dispose of Yinliang according to the method we have discussed! ”
Lu Li arched his hand: "No! I have been on display for three days on Yinliang, and the surroundings have been on guard, please rest assured. ”
Nodding contemptuously, Lu Li walked out.
looked at Sister-in-law Jiang with contempt, Sister-in-law Jiang was already frightened, and as soon as her legs were weak, she was about to kneel.
"Sister-in-law Jiang," said contemptuously, "you go and boil some chicken soup!" I'm very tired today, but I have to recover my strength as soon as possible, and I can't delay the king's rituals. Masako, you go with Sister-in-law Jiang! ”
Sister-in-law Jiang plucked up her courage and went out with Masako.
With tears in his eyes, Erdan said in a low voice, "Master Xie Lu, Master Xie, grabbed Yinliang." ”
Contemptuously reproached: "Silly boy, this is a common thing between the two of us!" Besides, it was actually me who caused the trouble, so how can you thank me! However, I am very sad about Sister-in-law Jiang now. Without Sister-in-law Jiang's informant, Yinliang would not kidnap you. I want to give Sister-in-law Jiang a chance to admit her mistakes and take the initiative to find me. ”
Erdan said: "Sister-in-law Jiang will." ”
Sighing contemptuously: "I hope so! In addition, Yinliang also has an accomplice. I'm knocking on the mountain now, and I hope he can turn himself in. ”
Sister-in-law Jiang was cooking chicken in the kitchen, absent-minded. She felt that Contempt had already discovered that she was an informer, but she didn't point it out because of her feelings. She was in the pedestrian mansion and couldn't stay any longer. If she wants to marry Lu Li, it is impossible. She can't be a disciple of contempt anymore. The best way is to run away, and you can't continue to be embarrassed in the pedestrian mansion.
Sister-in-law Jiang made chicken soup and asked Masako to send it, and she returned to her room quickly. The bag has already been made. Sister-in-law Jiang picked up her bag and looked around nostalgically, and tears suddenly welled up in her eyes. Is it that from now on, she will completely part with the person she thinks about day and night? Can't she be a contemptuous disciple anymore? I'm really unwilling! But what if you are not reconciled? What else can be done but to be ruthless and stomp your feet!
Sister-in-law Jiang almost cried. She hurriedly wiped away her tears and hurried out. Fortunately, Xie Jingliang's courtyard is not guarded by soldiers. She was easily out of the way.
