Chapter VIII Wanted
"What's going on?"
As soon as the three of them entered the garden, they saw the tragic situation in the garden. Pen~Fun~ Pavilion www.biquge.info the old man's frowning brows were about to twist into a ball. Sharply asked.
Huang Hua was screaming miserably. As if suffering so much. But he was drunk by the old man. Frightened, he stopped. But the expression of pain remains.
"Tube...... Steward. You're going to call the shots for me!"
Huang Hua struggled to kneel to crawl over. The voice is poignant.
"What's going on, say!"
The other, younger steward shouted. I don't care about Huang Hua's painful appearance at all.
"Yes...... Yes, Steward. Affair... Here's the thing, today Zhang Nan and I have nothing to do, so I took the moon miscellaneous to work in this garden. It's a good idea to take a few days off. The minions tried to be quick again, and Zhang Nan called Xiao Xiaopang to help. Later, we did it for a while, and when we saw that it was still early, we went to the hospital to rest............"
Huang Hua seemed to be a little frightened. Wei Wei said tremblingly. However, it was a little verbose, which made the steward a little impatient.
"Getting to the point!"
"Yes, yes, when the three of us were resting, we found that Lin Mu was sneaky alone. Xiaopang and Lin Mu already knew each other. Step forward and speak. Unexpectedly, before he could speak, Lin Mu punched and kicked him, directly injuring him and falling to the ground. We reacted and tried to stop it, but he didn't say anything.
His strength is great, and he is very dexterous. We were powerless. We were hurt all at once......
...... Then I saw him draw a dagger and swing it at us, then grab Zhang Nan and stab him several times. I was terrified and wanted to run. But he kicked me away. Then I faintedγγγγγ β
Huang Hua told half-truths and half-truths. Speaking of Huang Hua's death, he shuddered and choked up. A little more pitiful. It's hard to interrupt the steward who thinks he's verbose.
"Who is Lin Mu?"
"He is a servant of my lordship. β
The old steward frowned a little when he heard this, and said softly.
"Hmph, rubbish. The three of them can't help one...... Also, it is impossible for anyone to kill someone for no reason. You must still have something to hide. If you don't tell the truth, you will also be guilty of a capital crime!"
Another middle-aged steward suddenly stepped forward and shouted fiercely. Huang Hua trembled with fright. Then he kowtowed in fear. The mouth pleaded again and again.
"Master Cui, the little ones don't dare. Small sentences are true. I don't dare to be the slightest bit false. Then Lin Mu really killed someone when he saw it. I don't know why!"
Huang Hua kowtowed so much that his head was bleeding. The voices are all crying. It looks a little mean.
Humility is something that any slave must learn. For they are slaves, and they are servants. If he doesn't. Then it is very likely to die, it will die a miserable death, and it is not worth dying.
Death, perhaps, is not terrible. But he had a reason why he couldn't die, or someone who had to live. That's why he needs to live with a dead face. That's why he compromised with Lin Mu, that's why he acted in this scene.
This may not be called bravery, but it cannot be called cowardice.
The steward surnamed Cui frowned. Even if he heard Huang Hua say it with tears in his eyes, he was still skeptical. In addition to what the person named Lin Mu did and was bumped into by them, it is also possible that these minions conspired with something! This kind of thing is not uncommon.
But it's just speculation. He wanted to scare Huang Hua and scare something. But it was clearly useless.
And they were not in a hurry to immediately chase the murderer and arrest Lin Mu. That's because they're confident. I am confident that the Bai family wants to catch people, no matter how long they run, no matter how far they run. It will definitely be caught. And the one who died was just a subordinate. It would be easier to find out what was going on first.
Yu Huanghua couldn't get anything out of his mouth, so Steward Cui turned around, looked coldly at the still unconscious little fat, and then kicked it fiercely.
"Bang"
One kick directly made him roll a few laps.
Only an expert can see that this kick is tricky, not to kill the person, but to the body of the person being kicked, and it is very painful. It is most effective for waking people who are unconscious.
"Ah......h
Chubby first let out a scream of pain like killing a pig, and his body curled up. But then it seemed that something was wrong. looked around and saw Huang Hua and Zhang Nan, who was lying motionless on a pool of coagulated blood next to him. After a while, he suddenly burst into tears. Shout at the top of one's lungs. and all who hear it will mourn.
It's just that I don't know if I cried because of the pain, or blamed myself for crying for Lin Mu, or cried for my own misery. Or maybe it's scared and crying......
"Say, what the hell is going on?"
Steward Cui couldn't react when he saw this. But then he shouted. He didn't sympathize with the little fat man because he was young. To be able to stand at their current height, who does not have the lives of a few little slaves in their hands?
But the cheering did not stop the little fat man's crying. Instead, it made him cry even more sadly.
It made him feel a little embarrassed. Twisted his face. I want to step forward and give him a kick even harder.
In the Bai family, although the steward cannot kill the slave casually. However, if you occasionally 'miss', you will not be punished for anything. Or it is logical to push down on any crime.
Of course, this is subject to other cases where the steward is not in charge. He can only teach Chubby a lesson now. But it can be a little more ruthless.
But as soon as he kicked it, he was stopped by the old man on the side.
"Steward Ye, what are you doing here?"
For Steward Ye to stop him, Steward Cui seemed a little unhappy.
"Hehe, why is Steward Cui in such a hurry? Isn't there something hidden in it?"
Steward Ye said with a smile.
This sentence is worth pondering, and it is a bit insidious. The more simple meaning is almost 'Are you trying to kill people?'
This is not unusual. Many stewards and false servants do things that are obscure. Then he killed people and killed people, and there was no proof of death.
"Hehe, why bother hurting the harmony for this little thing. Let's get things straight. β
Another middle-aged steward surnamed Li acted as a peacemaker.
Steward Cui looked at the wrinkled old steward. I don't know what is in my mind. Maybe think about the deeper meaning. Didn't speak. He glanced at the old man with some jealousy, and then stood aside. Apparently meant to be handed over to the old steward.
I didn't pay much attention to Steward Cui. Steward Ye took a few steps closer, squatted down and looked at the crying little fat man. Squinted eyes that were a little protruding.
It didn't seem to feel right, and Xiaopang looked up at Steward Ye. The crying stopped abruptly. I was kicked hard with both feet, and I was scared. I was too scared to cry. Because Steward Ye's face looked kind and old to others, but now it seemed to him that it was inexplicably full of a butcher-like atmosphere.
"Fatty, tell me what just happened?"
The old man's words are more kind. Nothing like a shelf. However, the little fat man was still a little sobbing and shivering.
"Tube... The steward is big... Person. I...... I don't know. As soon as I saw Lin Mu, I was beaten to death by him, and I was knocked unconscious. β
Lin Mu fled. They are still the most important thing to save their lives. It's best to blame everything on someone who has already escaped.
"Do you have a grudge against him?"
"I didn't ...... No, we stayed together all the time. I've always been obedient. Forest...... Lin Mu treats me very well. β
"Does he have any secrets that you know?"
"I don't know, but sometimes he gets up quietly in the middle of the night...... I always thought he was relieved...... I once saw him as if he was gesturing with punches and kicks......"
β......β
β...... Oh, by the way, when he came back from a trip to the Danfang not long ago, he brought back a bag of black things... Don't let me touch it. ......β
............
Steward Ye asked some painless words. Something unexpected. But the little fat man answered them all one by one. Mixed truths. There is one that Zhang Nan told him before. It didn't show any horses.
It's just that these questions are asked. The three stewards, including Steward Ye, glanced at each other, and then their faces became a little solemn, and they all turned their eyes to the other side of the wall. - Dan Pharmacy!
When it comes to Dan Pharmacy, then this matter is not so simple. I just hope it's okay, or it's not a big deal. Otherwise, none of them will escape responsibility.
"Let's go!"
The three of them hurried out of the courtyard and rushed to the Dan Pharmacy on the other side........................
After a long time, the Bai family's compound became more lively than usual. Quite a few people are in a hurry.
The pharmacy has been stolen!
Several elixirs were lost! And two of them were more precious elixirs. Although it has not alarmed the head of the house to the extent. But the chief steward was also angry. The three stewards who found the problem did not dare to speak more.
The dead slaves have been dragged and buried. Xiaopang and Huang Hua were beaten by more than a dozen boards, but they didn't tell the truth. So he was not held accountable, and was even given a few taels of silver for two days off to recuperate.
According to Lin Mu's explanation, the little fat man returned to the house and took the things that Lin Mu had hidden, including the used quenching medicine residue. And then at that time I counted these "legacies" with joy and sorrow.
As for the two doormen, because they heard the news in advance, they hurriedly entrusted a great relationship, and they only suffered dozens of boards. After scolding Lin Mu many times, he went home and lay down.
And at about the same time, in a remote place in the courtyard of the Bai family. A snow-filled courtyard that is somewhat cold. The Ling'er of the water was wearing a luxurious white coat and white velvet. Holding a cute chin, squatting on the threshold of the garden. Looking at a red plum tree in the snow, I don't know who I'm looking forward to........................
As for Lin Mu, the person who stole the elixir, he had already been ordered to hunt down. A lot of warriors have already been dispatched. and a bounty of twenty taels of gold. Life or death. Don't chase stolen elixirs either.
If those elixirs are removed, Lin Mu's head is definitely not worth twenty taels of gold, and half a gold is expensive. After Lin Mu found out, he was in the middle of thinking about whether to take his own head to receive the money.
Probably because in the eyes of those stewards, this is no longer just a matter of a few herbs. Instead, he touched the face and majesty of the Bai family. They need to do something for their master to show their loyalty. That's why there is such a high bounty.
Twenty taels of gold may not be able to buy a few flowers and plants in the white house, and maybe in the eyes of their big people, it is still a trivial matter for mosquitoes to fly by. But it's enough to drive a lot of people crazy.
What's more, there are a few precious elixirs that he 'stole'! The wanted one says that there is no need to recover some medicines. I heard that there are some precious elixirs among those elixirs that can break through the martial arts!
In the Bai family, it may be nothing, but in the eyes of others, it is a treasure that makes people blush! At least it is more than twenty taels of gold.
These can at least make the teahouse alleys in the city boiling and lively for a while. Attract a large number of people to hunt down Lin Mu together. plus some people from the Bai family. Lin Mu had almost nowhere to escape.
In the past, almost no one escaped capture.
Therefore, what Lin Mu is facing now is a matter of life and death. The only way for him to survive is to escape capture.
He was wrapped in a tattered jacket. Hide in a dim and narrow alley to escape the cold. Snowy evenings are extremely cold. And Lin Mu, who was still hungry today and had some broken ribs, felt even colder.
However, there was no malaise in his eyes. On the contrary, it is blazing and sharp. I never stopped thinking about how to avoid this danger.
He had come in danger of life and death. I know that the more dangerous the situation, the more important it is to maintain the desire to survive and the confidence to live. This is the first rule of survival. A person can survive if he is not even confident that he can live. So who else can save him?
And the alley can only be used for him to avoid for a while. If you think about it, you have to get out as soon as possible.
Others may think that this dark alley in the snow is the warmest and safest shelter. However, Lin Mu didn't think so. In the grasslands, wolves hiding in long, narrow and warm burrows are actually the most vulnerable. Once discovered by natural predators, blocking the entrance to the cave is a dead end.
So as soon as danger approaches, the wolf will use all means to get out of the burrow first.
And if Lin Mu continues to be in this alley, he is found and blocked, and his head is cut off and exchanged for gold, it will be a matter of time sooner or later.
