Yuehua and Xiangshen were immediately silenced.

The branches and leaves in the forest are rustling, and the shadows are swaying.

Chu Jiu suddenly flew up, like a bird with wings, and swept straight out towards the southeast of the maple forest, and the hidden weapon was already buckled in his hand.

Yuehua immediately came to her senses, if someone wanted to use a poisonous snake to murder herself, she must be nearby, and she hadn't fled far yet. This maple forest is outside the city, and there are not many people around, but if there are people who are suspicious, there are nine times out of ten.

The position chased out by the ninth day of the first month is exactly where the city gate is heading.

She was about to chase each other out, when she heard two miserable howls not far away, followed by the sound of Chu Jiu's cold reprimand.

The kung fu of the ninth year of the first year, just like Buchen, has never had superfluous and cumbersome moves, and it has always been a one-trick victory. Listening to the scream, I thought that the person was not the opponent of Chu Jiu.

Sure enough, after only a moment's effort, I saw Chu Jiu escorting the two of them limping in from outside the maple forest, and pushed them to the ground fiercely: "The two are fleeing in a panic, and they want to come to eight or nine without leaving ten." ”

Xiangshen had already picked up the lantern, and Yuehua looked at the two of them by the light, with sharp-beaked monkey cheeks and a slippery face, but they were very strange and didn't know it.

The two of them were still sweating like rain in pain, and they kowtowed again and again to beg for mercy.

"Who are you? Why do you want to hurt me by letting snakes? Yuehua asked straight to the point.

The two shook their heads like rattles: "Madame, spare your life, our brothers just want to come here to catch some game and taste it, how dare they harm others?" ”

Yuehua smiled coldly: "Coming to hunt with bare hands, it really impresses me." I really don't know what kind of game can be played in this maple forest except for the birds. ”

Now that the lives of the two are in the hands of others, how can they dare to admit it calmly? Seeing that Yuehua's face was kind and deceitful, he stiffened his neck and denied: "If Madame condemns us, there must be a certificate, right?" Otherwise, wouldn't you be wronged to the innocent? ”

Another person also quibbled: "We have no grievances with our wife, why do we do such a thing that harms others and ourselves?" ”

Yuehua saw that the two of them were angry, it seemed that they were just scoundrels in the market, not the thugs in which house, and they thought that they should have benefited from whom. Thinking of today's teahouse, they just offended the Shen family's sons, could it be that they resorted to such despicable means?

She smiled coldly, "That's exactly what I want to ask you." Honestly confessed, let you go, otherwise, I will definitely give you a hard time. ”

The two glanced at each other, gritted their teeth, and shook their heads like rattles: "Madame, is this trying to bend into a move?" Our brethren have been wronged. ”

Chu Jiu stepped forward to give the two of them a little color to see, and pulled up the placket of one person's clothes, feeling that his chest was bulging, and he should have hidden something.

Reaching in, he took out a paper bag, and the faces of the two changed, and they reached out to grab it.

Chu Jiu fell with a heavy elbow, and the man immediately howled miserably and fell to the ground in embarrassment.

Chu Jiu opened the paper bag, sneered, and threw it in front of him: "Fishbones? I heard that the smell of burning fish bones can attract snakes, don't you confess? Do you need me to help you summon the snakes again? ”

The two didn't expect Chu Jiu to be well-informed, and even knew this kind of little trick, cold sweat was dripping, looking at each other, obviously extremely conflicted in their hearts.

Yuehua stretched out her hand and took out a silver ticket from her arms, shook it in front of the two, and asked with a smile: "Can that person be more generous than me?" ”

The two shook their heads in unison: "No." ”

After saying that, I realized that I had slipped my mouth.

Yuehua shook the silver ticket: "Say, explain it honestly, and this silver ticket will belong to you." Otherwise, if I want you to live rather than die, I have 11,000 different ways. This is a wilderness, even if you are destroyed and buried on the spot, the government will not be aware of it. ”

The two hesitated for a moment, then gritted their teeth and said in a deep voice: "Okay, let's say, Madame has to talk about it." ”

Chu Jiu gave the person who spoke a kick behind the two: "Less nonsense, talk faster!" ”

The man who was beaten said to Yuehua with a flattering face: "Don't hide it from Mrs. Say, the little one's name is Zhang San, this is my brother Li Biao, and the two of us are actually two idle gangsters in the capital.

Today, someone came to us and gave us two ingots of silver for each person, and told us to find a bag of poisonous snakes and try to throw them into the bamboo hut in the maple forest.

The two of us have been strapped for money lately, so we agreed with a clear conscience. ”

Yuehua sighed slightly: "Who is that person?" But a man who looks like a rich and noble son? With a sallow face and a square mouth, he looks like a sassy kid? ”

Zhang San shook his head: "His face looks a little sallow, but looking at the dress, he is not from a rich family, and he listens to the voice of a shrill voice, like a woman." ”

That's not Shen Xincai himself, think about it, just explain such a thing, where do you need to go out in person?

"How did he know you two?"

Li Biao shook his head: "I don't know, that person went directly to the casino we frequented to find the two of us, and called us by name, as if he had known us for a long time." Our brothers are just seeking money, where is the accounting more these? ”

Yuehua and Chu Jiu looked at each other suspiciously: "What else?" Is there anything suspicious? ”

The two thought for a moment: "Oh, by the way, that person seems to know Madame." ”

"How so?"

"He told our lady to have a master around to protect her, so be careful when releasing snakes."

That's strange, it is said that even if Shen Xincai had the intention of harming himself, he would not understand Chu Jiu's skills so quickly, right?

"Isn't that new?"

The two said in unison: "It's really gone." ”

This is a bit troublesome, just by relying on these few words of the two people, it is impossible to determine who is behind the scenes, and there is no evidence.

"Madam, everything we know has been explained clearly, Madame will not be untrustworthy, is it difficult for us?" Li Biao looked at the silver ticket in Yuehua's hand and salivated.

Yuehua waved her hand in frustration, and was about to send the two away, when she heard footsteps in the maple forest, and someone came straight towards the bamboo house from far and near.

Xiang Shen craned his neck and looked at it for a long time, before he said, "It's Miss Ling Xi and Han Gongzi." ”

Ling Xi and Han Yuchu also got close at this time, and they were a little surprised to see Yuehua and his party standing in the courtyard, and there were two people kneeling on the ground.

"What's going on? What happened? ”

Yuehua said disapprerovingly: "There are two people who have made a snake into my house, and they were caught by Chu Jiu, and they are about to be sent away." Why are you here so late? ”

Ling Xi smiled embarrassedly: "I came here to apologize to you for today's incident." I shouldn't have invited you to congratulate your father on his birthday, which made you angry in the Hou Mansion. ”

Han Yuchu on the side also answered: "Ling Xi went back to the house in the afternoon, always restless and feeling guilty, and I couldn't persuade her, so I simply pleaded her over." Otherwise, I am afraid that it will be difficult to sleep all night. ”

Yuehua pursed her lips and smiled: "I still think there is something important, what is this, how can I think of such a small belly?" ”

Chang Lingxi hurriedly shook his head in defense: "I didn't mean that, don't misunderstand." I just feel that this incident is all because of me, and it makes you feel humiliated and uneasy. ”

Yuehua glared at her with disgust: "It's a lot of things, you and my sister, you still need to be so polite." Since you're here, you probably haven't eaten yet, so let's stay and talk together. ”

Chang Lingxi was relieved and nodded happily: "Well, it's been a long time since we've eaten together." ”

Yuehua wanted to send Zhang San and Li Biao away first, but when she turned around, she saw that the two of them were quietly tiptoeing to escape while a few people were talking.

"Stop!" Yuehua scolded.

The two of them stiffened, knowing that they couldn't escape, so they paused, but didn't look back: "Madame wants to regret it?" ”

Yuehua raised the silver ticket in his hand: "I'm just wondering, you two love money like life, why did you forget to ask me for a silver ticket?" ”

Zhang San waved his hand busily: "No, no, we don't dare to accept Madame's silver." ”

After that, he pulled his legs and fled.

Yuehua was even more suspicious in her heart, and with a look, Chu Jiufei stepped forward, and pinched her neck like catching a chicken with one hand and carried it back.

The two of them lowered their heads and begged for mercy tremblingly.

Chang Lingxi on the side hissed in surprise: "Why does the voice sound so familiar?" Lift up your heads! ”

The two of them hung their heads lower and lower, and they became more and more flustered.

Yuehua was keenly aware of the strangeness of the two, and raised her chin at Chu Jiuyi, and Chu Jiu lifted Zhang San's face with a force.

"Ling Xi, do you know them?"

Chang Lingxi approached, looked at it for a moment, and blurted out in surprise: "It's you!" ”

Han Yuchu on the side also approached at this time: "If you really have nowhere to find the iron shoes, it takes no effort to get there." We couldn't find you everywhere, but we didn't expect to meet you here. ”

Zhang San and Li Biao kowtowed again and again in horror: "Madame spares her life, Madame spares her life." ”

Yuehua became more and more confused: "What the hell is going on?" ”

Ling Xi said hatefully: "Do you remember that Ling Xi once told you that I was almost kidnapped in order to save Chang Lingyan at this year's Shangyuan Festival Lantern Festival?" ”

Yuehua nodded: "Naturally, I remember, if it weren't for your auspicious nature, if you were rescued by others, you would almost not be able to return to the Hou Mansion." ”

Ling Xi pointed at Zhang San and Li Biao on the ground: "Those two villains are them!" ”

"Huh?!" Yuehua and Xiangshen spoke in unison.

"Fortunately, the sun and moon were good, so I remember the faces of the two of them clearly, and I am sure that it is right." Chang Lingxi said firmly.

"Yes, I can confirm that these are these two gangsters."

Yuehua raised her head in surprise and glanced at Han Yuchu with an inquiring gaze.

Chang Lingxi said timidly: "He was the son who saved me that night and sent me back to the Hou Mansion." ”

This time, Yuehua was even more surprised: "Why is it so coincidental?" ”

Chang Lingxi glanced up at Han Yuchu and nodded shyly.

Yuehua suddenly said: "No wonder I gave you two a marriage at that time, you have been depressed, but after marriage, the two of them are like glue, did you have a secret promise at that time?" ”

Chang Lingxi was teased by Yuehua, and blushed: "Niangniang!" ”

Zhang San and Li Biao on the ground heard the conversation between the two clearly, and couldn't help but be frightened.

"Marriage? Empress? Are you a sissy? ”
