Chapter 129 [Heartbeat] (II)
Luo Lie sighed secretly in his heart, no wonder the Qing Dynasty will die, from top to bottom, big officials and small officials, each with their own plans, layer by layer, extremely corrupt. Maybe Prince Rui Yixun does have the ambition to revitalize the country and rejuvenate the country, but the people around him do not have the same idea as him. It turned out that Liu Tongsi and Xiao Tianxing had already begun to be greedy for money and fill their pockets. The gold hidden in those wood carvings should be what they did back then.
Luo Lie said: "You hid a lot back then, right?"
Liu Tongsi shook his head and said: "There is not much, just keep it in case of emergency, but then suddenly the sky changed, the Qing Dynasty died, Xiao Tianxing fled, and a tacit understanding was reached between him and me, and none of us will use this wealth." ”
Luo Lie said: "Only the two of you know about this?"
Liu Tongsi nodded very affirmatively.
Luo Lie secretly thought, since Liu Tonghei did not reveal the news, then there must be something wrong with Xiao Tianxing, Xiao Tianxing is dead, it stands to reason that he will not easily disclose this matter to outsiders, Luo Lie suddenly thought of Zhou Xiaodie, could it be that this treasure theft incident in the Old Summer Palace is related to the mysterious disappearance of Zhou Xiaodie?
At this time, there was the sound of footsteps from far and near outside the door, Luo Lie realized that someone was coming, and immediately stopped talking, he got up and said, "Director Liu, I'll leave first, and I'll come to see you when I have time later." ”
There was a gentle knock on the door, but it was Liu Tonghei's housekeeper Dongsheng who came back with the food he had just called, and when he saw Luo Hunt in the room, Dongsheng's eyes flashed a trace of vigilance, and Liu Tongsi coughed and said, "Dongsheng, help me send President Lin." ”
Luo Lie put his mind at ease, it seemed that Liu Tongsi had become suspicious of Dongsheng and did not expose his intentions.
Dongsheng responded and sent Luo Lie out.
Coming to the outside of the ward, Luo Lie smiled and said, "You stay, I know the way." ”
Dongsheng said: "Few people come to visit the master now. ”
Luo Lie said: "In life, there will always be three or two confidants, and they will never give up. ”
Dongsheng smiled: "Governor Lin is right. ”
Luo Lie left the hospital, called a rickshaw, and soon noticed that there was a rickshaw behind him, he asked the driver to turn into the alley ahead, and then quickly got out of the car and gave the fare, let the driver pull the empty car to continue walking, and he turned over the wall.
It didn't take long to see the rickshaw coming in, and it was Liu Tonghei's housekeeper Dongsheng sitting on the rickshaw, who saw the rickshaw in front of him walking away and urged: "Hurry up and follow." ”
Luo Lie secretly sneered, there is really something wrong with this Dongsheng. He jumped off the wall and said loudly, "I can't catch up!"
Dongsheng heard the voice behind him, only to know that he had been discovered, a wry smile appeared on the corner of his lips, he motioned to the coachman to stop the car, stuffed a handful of copper coins to the other party, and let the coachman go first.
The two of them were the only ones left in the long empty alley.
Dongsheng turned his back to Luo Hunt, although he was slightly hunchbacked, but the muscles in his shoulders were quietly contracting, his right hand quietly touched under his armpit, and he took out his pistol at an extremely alarming speed.
At the same time as Dongsheng made a move, Luo Lie had already taken the lead in starting, drawing the knife, swinging the knife, and shooting in one go, and the flying knife turned into a snowy light, chasing the wind and lightning across the distance between the two, and the blade shot at Dongsheng's right hand holding the gun.
Dongsheng's right hand was in severe pain, and the pistol fell to the ground because he couldn't hold it, and before Dongsheng could bend down and pick it up, Luo Lie had already rushed over like a leopard, and punched Dongsheng to the jaw, Dongsheng was hit by Luo Lie's hook and his head was raised backwards, but the power of this punch was not enough to knock him down.
Dongsheng staggered back, ready to stand firm and launch a counterattack, but saw that Luo Lie had already picked up the pistol on the ground.
Dongsheng raised his hands, he didn't know the principle that Luo Lie never used a gun, and his eyes stared at Luo Lie and said, "I recognize you!"
"Oh?" Luo Lie said with interest, he realized that Liu Tonghei's housekeeper was not simple, and it was rare to be able to show such a calm and calm state of mind in such a passive situation.
"You're Luo Lie!"
This time it was Luo Lie's turn to be surprised, he thought that Dongsheng just wanted to deceive himself by saying that, but the other party called his name clearly and unmistakably, Luo Lie even suspected that the sparrow's makeup level was greatly reduced, and it was actually recognized by people at a glance. However, he doesn't have much contact with Dongsheng, and even Liu Tonghei can deceive him, Dongsheng shouldn't recognize him from his appearance, unless this person is speculating, or his attention to himself is definitely not a day.
Dongsheng said: "I am not your enemy. ”
Luo Lie smiled slightly and did not speak.
Dongsheng said: "Why don't we have a good talk." This sentence not only shows weakness, but also shows that it is necessary for Luo Hunt to cooperate with each other.
Dongsheng's first sentence attracted Luo Lie's attention: "I know what you are looking for Liu Tonghei, I also know what you are looking for in the garden!"
Luo Lie thought about it in his heart, according to Dongsheng's words, he had already made a judgment, Dongsheng must know the inside story, and he had already noticed his actions in Zhengjue Temple, Luo Lie tentatively said: "It seems that the group of people who pretended to be gods and ghosts last night were sent by you?"
Dongsheng said: "You come with me, I'll take you to meet someone." ”
Luo Lie hesitated, after all, he didn't know much about Dongsheng, he shot Dongsheng's right hand in the fight just now, and he didn't know that he would take this opportunity to lead himself into the trap.
Dongsheng said: "The gun is in your hand, if I want to harm you, you just shoot." ”
He turned and walked forward, as if he was sure that Luo Lie would definitely follow.
The person Dongsheng took Luo to see was nearby, and the two walked about two miles one after the other, entered a narrow alley, and at the end, a courtyard appeared in the shade of green trees, and the three words "Wind and Rain Garden" were mentioned on the plaque in front of the door.
Luo Lie has never let down his vigilance, but there is nothing unusual along the way, Dongsheng may have taken into account his suspicions, so he has been walking in front and exposing all the key points of his back to Luo Lie.
Coming to the door, Dongsheng turned to Luo Lie and smiled: "Please wait!" He snapped the knocker and said loudly: "It's me, Dongsheng!"
After a while, the door slowly opened, and a delicate-looking girl opened the door from the inside, and said softly, "Uncle Dongsheng, you're back." ”
Luo Lie couldn't help but be stunned when he saw the girl appear, he would never have thought that the person living in this wind and rain garden was Zhou Xiaodie, who was from Huangpu without saying goodbye, and the blind man chased Zhou Xiaodie from Huangpu to here, and he searched everywhere almost whenever he was free these days, but there was no result, and he couldn't imagine that Zhou Xiaodie was hiding in this wind and rain garden in a good manner. No wonder Ye Qinghong said that Zhou Xiaodie's matter had nothing to do with her, but Ye Qinghong also said that Zhou Xiaodie was a Japanese spy, and that she was not blind at all.
Luo Lie has always been skeptical of Ye Qinghong's words, people's feelings can't be disguised, Zhou Xiaodie's pain when she lost her father, she was once angry with Yan Tianxin because of this, and even wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to live in a tent with Yan Tianxin to assassinate her, these things that happened made Ye Qinghong's words untenable.
Although Zhou Xiaodie's eyes were beautiful, they were dull, and she smiled: "Uncle Dongsheng, come in quickly......" After speaking, she realized something abnormal, and said softly: "Is there still someone?"
Luo Lie said: "Hello!"
Although Zhou Xiaodie couldn't see it with her eyes, because of this, she would not be deceived by Luo Lie's disguise, and her identity had already been judged from his voice alone: "Brother Luo!"
Luo Lie sighed in his heart, he was really not a qualified pretender, Dongsheng and Zhou Xiaodie both saw through his true colors.
Luo Lie walked into this wind and rain garden and found that although this courtyard was not luxurious, it was clean and tidy, Zhou Xiaodie invited them to sit in the tea room in the west, and Dongsheng took the initiative to pour tea.
Luo Lie roughly sorted out the context of this matter in his heart, Zhou Xiaodie is Xiao Tianxing's daughter, Dongsheng is Liu Tonghei's housekeeper, the biggest possibility that the two appear here at the same time is that Dongsheng has always been Xiao Tianxing's person, and he is a chess piece ambushed by Liu Tonghe's side.
Zhou Xiaodie looked a little cramped and uneasy, her ten fingers were entangled, and after a while, she said, "Are you okay?"
Luo Lie smiled: "Everyone is very good, An Zhai is also very good, he also came to Beiping, and he has been looking for you." ”
Zhou Xiaodie bit her lip and said, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have left without saying a word, so you guys should worry about me." ”
Dongsheng put the poured cup of tea in front of Luo Lie, and the right hand that was injured by Luo Hunt had been wrapped in a white veil, but fortunately it didn't hurt his muscles and bones. Dongsheng sat down on Luo Lie's left side, took a sip of the teacup with both hands, and said: "The big boss is kind to me, I have always been ordered to do things by Liu Tonghei's side, and I am responsible for keeping an eye on this old fox for the big boss." ”
Luo Lie nodded, he suddenly had a good impression of Dongsheng, no matter what the position of the two sides, Dongsheng can be called a true loyal person.
Zhou Xiaodie is full of gratitude to Dongsheng, after she and An Zhai left Baishan for Huangpu, Mu Sanye is indeed a good person, and helped introduce the doctor to show her eyes, but by an unintentional chance, she found that Mu Sanye already knew her true identity, Zhou Xiaodie was scared because of this, fortunately she remembered her father's explanation, if you encounter trouble one day, you can go to Dongsheng.
So Zhou Xiaodie contacted Dongsheng, and Dongsheng rushed to Huangpu as soon as he got her whereabouts, and quietly took her away from Huangpu, but still left clues.
After saying goodbye, Zhou Xiaodie sighed and said: "Brother Luo, it's not that I can't trust you, it's just that I can't trust Mu Sanye, he is a friend of Prince Rui." ”
Luo Lie knew her concerns and comforted her: "Don't worry, I won't mention your matter to anyone for the time being, but ......" He thought of the blind man, although this thing usually behaves heartlessly, but as his best friend, Luo Lie knew that he should have true feelings for Zhou Xiaodie, and he was always worried about her safety during this time.
Although Zhou Xiaodie couldn't see it, she was a smart person, and she had already understood what Luo Lie meant from his tone, and whispered: "When the time is right, I will meet Brother An Zhai." ”
