Chapter 51: The Epidemic I
Speaking of the fat baby, his original name was Lei, his mother left home and disappeared when he gave birth, and his father was hit to death by a foreign carriage when he was passing by the road in his early years, and he had no relatives except for a grandmother. ”
The uncle who bought the clothes sighed and said, "Their two mothers-in-law and grandchildren have been selling fried cakes in the alley for two or three years. Recently, I noticed that the old lady did not seem to be in good health, and she was getting thinner and thinner, but I didn't expect it."
"Uncle Wang" The fat baby was hugged by him and cried profusely.
Uncle Wang hurriedly bought a string of small candy figures from the side and handed them to him, but he still couldn't stop the child's crying.
"Here is a little heart, take good care of him" Lin Xin didn't know what to say, and after being silent for a while, he just took out some broken silver, about a dozen taels, and stuffed it into him.
"I can't help it, if I take your money, what kind of person will I be!" Uncle Wang was very excited, but his strength was not as great as Lin Xin's, and he was stuffed into his hands.
"Leave it to the fat baby in the future, this little guy will have more places to use money in the future." Meeting is fate. Lin Xin strode away without looking back.
He didn't make any stops, but went directly to the Peacock Gate headquarters where Kong Yuhui was located. He was going to ask about the epidemic and what that six-winged bee was.
On the edge of the six-story attic with a yellow roof and red bricks, there is a large area of dark green forest, and the sound of boxing practice comes from the forest.
On the fifth floor of the attic, the window is open, and there is a table of wine inside, three stacks of side dishes and a pot of wine.
Kong Yuhui and Lin Xin sat opposite each other, with two cowardly maids serving by their side. The breeze blows, with a faint hint of coolness.
"Brother Lin Xian went and returned, it seems that he has a lot of worries, there must be something to ask me?" Kong Yuhui has always been shrewd, so he naturally saw that Lin Xin came to find him for something, in this Peacock City, not to mention everything, but as long as he wants to know, there is nothing that he can't know.
Lin Xin picked up the chopsticks in front of him and put a piece of braised rabbit meat in his mouth.
"I came here to ask Brother Kong carefully, what is the epidemic in this city?" he frowned slightly, and lowered his voice.
"How can Brother Xian care about this? This epidemic has been taken over by the sitting physician of Sheng Jitang, there will be no problem, and it will definitely calm down soon. Kong Yuhui disagreed, "To be honest, this epidemic will occur once every late autumn, and it is commonplace in this Peacock City." ”
"I saw with my own eyes that someone died in front of me today, and that was the result of this epidemic. Lin Xin said in a low voice, and he looked sideways at the maids on the left and right.
Kong Yuhui suddenly knew what he meant, and waved his hand.
"Go down first. ”
"Yes. ”
The two maids stepped back and closed the door as they left.
Lin Xin waited for the footsteps of the maid to gradually fade away and went downstairs, paused, and turned his face sideways to look at the sunny autumn sun outside.
"Brother Kong, have you ever heard of a bee that has six wings and only two legs?"
He put down his chopsticks and looked at Kong Yuhui opposite.
Kong Yuhui's face was calm, and he didn't seem to be moved at all.
He took a pair of chopsticks and salad cucumbers, put them in his mouth, chewed and swallowed.
"Serap-winged bee, brother Xian, how can there be such a strange bee in this world? You're joking. ”
"It's not a joke. Lin Xin said lightly, "Today I saw the six-winged bee crawling out of the earhole of an old man's corpse, and it was still staring at me, and it was cut into two knots by my sword. ”
Kong Yuhui's face remained unchanged, as if he hadn't heard what he said.
Both of them stopped talking, and the atmosphere was slightly dull for a while.
There was silence for more than half a minute. Kong Yuhui put down his chopsticks.
"Brother advises you to leave this matter alone, it's not something you and I can manage. ”
"What do you mean?" Lin Xin frowned slightly.
Kong Yuhui groaned.
"I'll tell you the truth, you can see the six-winged bee because of the resentment charm, and people who don't have a resentment charm can't see this kind of thing. This six-winged bee is not uncommon in my Peacock City, in fact, many nobles and high-level people know about it. It's just that we have always kept the well water and not the river water. ”
"You mean, this thing is controlled by someone?" Lin Xin heard the implication.
"As for that, it's better not to meddle in your affairs, otherwise you and I won't be able to take care of this matter. Kong Yuhui said with a little meaning.
Lin Xin suddenly fell silent and chewed his words carefully.
"Okay, don't talk about this, you listen to my advice on this matter, leave him alone, it won't be long before it will dissipate naturally. Kong Yuhui laughed, "Here I want to tell you a good news, I was going to send someone to inform you, but I didn't expect you to take the initiative to come by yourself." ”
"What's the good news?"
"The letter you asked me to send has already been delivered, and as for the person you are looking for, I have also found it, do you want to go and see it together?" Kong Yuhui said with a smile.
"Oh, so fast?"
Lin Xin also raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this, he didn't plan to delve into the matter of the six-winged bee, since Kong Yuhui had said this, he naturally meant that there was a deep water insider that he couldn't provoke, after all, he was not a hot-blooded young man who insisted on absolute justice, this kind of thing was to do what he could, and if it endangered his own interests, he would not be pedantic and insist.
"I've found someone, but I haven't shown up to make contact. Let's go together. ”
Kong Yuhui invited.
Lin Xin's heart temporarily let go of the fat baby's matter, and happily got up.
The place where Lin Xin and Kong Yuhui came together was a glamorous attic.
The ladies in front of the attic were dressed in half-covered and half-revealing clothes, constantly pulling the guests in a coquettish voice, and the richly decorated carriages were parked in the open space in front of the attic, and there were special servants in charge of taking care of them.
The two did not alarm the rest of the people, but only brought more than a dozen internal guards from the Peacock Gate to secretly come.
"The person who came to the newspaper said that it was here. Kong Yuhui said with a smile.
"Go in and have a look. Lin Xin nodded.
The two walked towards the attic one after the other, and there was a big plaque hanging on the attic: Cuiyun Building.
"Are these two masters going to have fun or drink some wine and listen to the music?" a woman with heavy makeup greeted her and said with a smile.
"I don't know if the two masters have any acquaintances!"
Before he finished speaking, he was pushed away by a person behind Kong Yuhui.
Kong Yuhui didn't look at her, and walked in directly with Lin Xin, and all the people who stood in front of him along the way were brutally pushed away by the men behind him. Suddenly, a burst of exclamations and angry scolding came from the left and right.
"Two masters!" several women in charge hurriedly greeted them, as if they were about to say something good, but when they saw Kong Yuhui and the others coming in, they didn't go upstairs, but went straight to the corridor at the back of the first floor, and their faces suddenly changed.
Before the two of them could speak, they saw that the two guards guarding the door of the corridor had already greeted them with cold faces.
"This is Vice General Yu's seal! No one is allowed to enter without a warrant from the general!" The guards at the door were actually two heavily armored soldiers.
"Closed?" Kong Yuhui was stopped and sneered, "Where I want Kong Yuhui to go, no one in this Peacock City dares to say the word "sealed!"
The two guards behind him didn't say a word, and after a few steps forward, they twisted their arms and threw them aside.
"What kind of person!" suddenly seemed to provoke a hornet's nest, and more than a dozen armor-clad Pu Dao soldiers rushed out of the corridor, and the sound of drawing knives kept coming.
Kong Yuhui didn't look at it, and walked directly towards the corridor.
Lin Xin followed.
The guards behind the two of them swarmed up to block the swords that poured out. These more than a dozen internal guards are strong, and they have all practiced kung fu one by one, and the Pu knife slashed at several of them with a dull wooden sound. I can't even hurt myself.
The two walked into the hallway, where only the penultimate room at the end of the hallway was open.
"What kind of person! dare to do something to my Yu Mansion! Don't die, right!?" Two people suddenly rushed out of the room, and it was Yu Chang and Shu Luoyi.
Among the two, Yu Chang was dressed in a yellow short coat and wore a blue long sword at his waist. Shu Luo Yi changed into a white dress with a skirt that reached the knees. Seeing the movement outside the corridor, both of them had frost on their faces.
"It's the first time I've met someone in Peacock City who dares to talk to me like this" Kong Yuhui sneered, his hand was already on the hilt of the sword at his waist, since he broke through the innate nature, he was already a big man in the Peacock Gate, and the power he could mobilize was greatly enhanced. It is the time when I am in high spirits, and at this time, I don't want to be swept away in front of my friends.
"Kong Yuhui!" As soon as Yu Chang saw the first person who came in, his heart suddenly cooled, in Peacock City, except for ordinary people, who has a little status does not know Kong Yuhui Kong Dashao, this thing has always been the master who eats people and does not spit out bones, and this time he came back to break through the congenital, and is known as the young master who is most likely to take over the position of the master of the Peacock Gate!
Don't say that his father, Deputy General, even if the Peacock City Lord comes in person, he has to greet him well.
"It turned out to be the master of Kong Shaomen" just thought that there was Shu Luoyi standing next to him, Yu Chang's confidence was a little full, Shu Luoyi's family was a real qi practitioner, and he was not afraid of Kong Yuhui's background. If you lose face in front of Shu Luoyi at this time, it will be almost impossible to have a good relationship with her and pursue her in the future.
Thinking of this, he was about to bite the bullet and continue to go up, when suddenly a familiar face came out behind Kong Yuhui.
"Brother Yu, Senior Sister Shu, it's only been a few days since we were apart, and I didn't expect to meet here again. Lin Xin walked out with a smile on his face.
"Brother Lin?"
Shu Luoyi, who was just about to get angry, was also slightly stunned, and temporarily put down the idea of preparing to do it.
"What? do you know?" Kong Yuhui was also stunned.
"Of course, not only do I know each other, but I am also teammates together on this mission. Lin Xin opened his mouth to explain. "You're here to find a task, too?"
Yu Chang suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, there is no need to be caught in the middle, inside and outside is not a person.
"Yes, yes, it's really a big flood that washed the Dragon King Temple, it turned out to be a purpose. It turned out that Master Kong Shaomen and Brother Lin were friends. Since they are all friends, they don't know each other if they don't fight, so let's come in quickly. ”
After speaking, he seemed to feel that he was too eager, so he immediately straightened up and quickly changed the topic.
"We've just found out about the target, but it's a little wrong. ”
