Chapter 610: The Vinegar God Returns
The cold wind gusted and the momentum was overwhelming.
Cheng Cang's figure stiffened in shock, and his head was buried lower.
Seeing that Fu Jiuqu didn't mean to let him get up and speak, Xin Yi walked over with a smile, handed the blank booklet to Fu Jiuqu's hand, and briefly told him what happened in the temple.
"Brother Jiu, what is the mystery of this booklet?"
Fu Jiuqu opened the book, paused for a moment, raised his eyelids, as if he had just found Cheng Cang standing stiffly in front of him at this time, and raised his hand lightly.
"Don't do it again next time."
Cheng Cang lowered his head and lowered his eyes, and arched his hand in response, "Yes."
Fu Jiuqu glanced at Cheng Cang's slightly sickly face, didn't say anything more, turned around, checked the corpse of the green calyx, and asked in a cold voice:
"She didn't say anything about the pamphlet before she died?"
Xin Yi shook her head, "She just begged me to save Gao Minglou......
However, thinking of the expression and gesture of the green calyx pointing at the Medicine King Bodhisattva, Xin Yi felt that this booklet would be outrageous if it was useless.
"Could it be that these papers need to be made with potions to show their shape?"
She has seen this kind of thing in film and television dramas before, and she has also seen a lot of chemical experiments, so she knows that this is not a difficult thing.
"Brother Jiu, wait for me to take it back to the pharmacy and give it a try."
Fu Jiuqu's grim face was unmoving, as if he was still thinking.
In a moment, he looked up and swept towards the main hall of the ruined temple.
"Repeat to me the original words of the green calyx."
Xin Yi's eyebrows jumped, and he was hesitating, and Hongdou spoke.
"Sister Green Calyx likes the young master, she told me a long time ago, but she knows that the young master likes girls, and she has never had delusions, and her biggest wish is just to do it for the young master, to be an aunt.........
Fu Jiuqu's face was calm and expressionless.
Hongdou sniffed, and then choked up and said, "Before she died, she just wanted to tell the girl the young master's mind, and wanted the girl to know that the young master had her in his heart, and begged the girl to save the young master's life......
Fu Jiuqu's eyes looked at him fiercely, Xin Yi didn't know what to say, and spoke with a serious face.
"I've already thought about it carefully, and I can't hear any mystery in the words of the green calyx, it's just that a woman is unwilling to ...... before she dies."
"Yes." Fu Jiuqu's eyes were dark, and he spoke very slowly.
"The mystery is in her words."
"Really?" Xin Yi's eyelids jumped, "Why can't I hear it?"
Fu Jiuqu looked at Xin Yi carelessly, his eyes were bottomless.
"An old way, two old people. It is very likely that Gao Minglou has already given you the secret, and the green calyx does not know. All she was guarding was a blank booklet, a dispensable reminder......
Xin Yi was stared at by Fu Jiuqu and his face was hot.
She originally took the script of a vicious female supporting role, but how did she suddenly become a Mary Sue character?
"Ahem, this ......" Xin Yi thought for a moment and nodded seriously, "That day in the dungeon, Gao Minglou said that he had a secret to tell me. Well, why don't I go see him now?"
Fu Jiuqu's face was cold, and he smiled lightly.
"When I see him now, he may not say it."
His slender knuckles tapped twice on the book.
"The secret is in those eight words."
Xin Yi was confused, he really didn't know what medicine was sold in his gourd, but Fu Jiuqu obviously didn't come up with a complete answer, his brows furrowed slightly, and without saying a word, he grabbed Xin Yi's wrist and walked outside the broken temple.
It was windy outside, and there was light rain falling, and Fu Jiuqu stood still under the eaves.
Xin Yi coughed lightly, looked at Fu Jiuqu's cold expression, and said in a low voice:
"What is Brother Nine going to say?"
Fu Jiuqu said, "What do you mean by the two deceased? If you think about it, have you ever crossed paths with Gao Minglou before?"
Among the people Xin Yi knew before, there was only one surnamed Gao, and her hair was small and high......
Could it be him? Xin Yi's mind flashed, as if a locked box in his memory was suddenly opened, and many things were suddenly strung together at this moment.
No wonder Gao Yue took his mother's surname and never mentioned his father; No wonder his mother never worked, but their family was well-fed and wealthy; No wonder they are so rich, but they live carefully, like a mother and son who hide from debts; No wonder Gao Yue will move repeatedly, often saying that he is pitiful, trembling all his life, and has no fixed place to live......
It turned out that in those years, the person who their mother and son were hiding was the second generation of Fu.
Oh my!
Xin Yi's eyes lit up slightly, looked at the Fu Jiuqu in front of him, and nodded.
"I think I might really know him......
Fu Jiuqu was not surprised, his eyes looked at the boundless night, and his voice was so calm that it didn't seem to have half a wave, "Lu Cao said that Gao Minglou has you in his heart, then you should think about it carefully, what secrets are there between you and him, you know, but others don't know......
What do you mean by "secrets between you"?
Brother Jiu's tone is so sour that he can be directly named the "God of Vinegar".
Xin Yi curled his lips slightly, looked at him with a smile in his eyes, inexplicably annoyed in his heart, and had to admit that what Fu Jiuqu said made some sense.
However, Ren broke her head, and she didn't come up with any secrets between herself and Gao Yue and Gao Minglou......
"Brother Jiu......" Xin Yi squinted slightly, and asked him in a trance, "You say, will it be related to the small seal he gave me when I got married?"
Fu Jiuqu's face changed, "What about the seal?"
Xin Yi: "At home!"
··
The summer rain is coming, and the torrential rain is clanging on the tiles, like playing a tragic music.
The city of Yangzhou was shrouded in the shadow of the epidemic, and the people closed their doors and had no friends with their neighbors. But in the middle of the night, in the inner room of a simple and empty house in Taiping Bridge, the candles were bright and the voices of people were constantly whispering.
"If you think about it, is there anything missing?"
"No, I didn't. The lower officials did it cleanly! That little girl has already died thoroughly, and she will never leak the slightest rumor......
"Humph! Only this once, not for example. If you let a little girl hold your handle and threaten it, then you will come to see ......
"Don't worry, sir. What wind and waves haven't you seen in Xiaguan? In the gutter of this Yangzhou Mansion, the boat can't be overturned...... That little girl is also big-hearted, and she is delusional about rescuing Gao Minglou. Otherwise, I wouldn't have lost my life in vain......
Speaking of this, the man paused, and his tone became a little more solemn, "But right now, Gao Minglou is in Fu Jiuqu's hands, which is not good for you and me...... As long as he has a mouth, as long as he opens his mouth, this fire will be lit......
"What are you afraid of, there's someone up there!"
"Yes, yes, that's ......"
After the man had finished speaking, he suddenly squinted, got up and saluted with his fists.
"Xia Guan has a clever plan, not only to solve the urgent need, but also to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, so as not to have too many dreams at night, which will be bad in Fu Jiuqu's hands......
"Tell me about it."
The man's eyes were angry, and he raised his hand high, and then slashed it down.
"Kill! Only the dead will obediently shut up, and they will not be able to stir up the storm......
"Huh!" The man above sneered, picked up the teacup and lowered his head to take a sip, and only after a while did he ask casually:
"Kill whom? Gao Ming Building? His death is not a pity, and he should have died to apologize. Kill or not, only in the morning and evening. You want to say Yudu? That's a joke. Even if he is a descendant of Li Tang, what can he do? How many years has it been since the Southern Tang Dynasty destroyed the country, and the incense ashes of his ancestors have gone. It's not Gao Minglou who is afraid of it, and it's not Yudu ......."
At this point, his voice stopped abruptly and he lowered his head to drink tea.
"There are some things that are inconvenient to talk about, and it is better for you to know less. Do as I say, and find a way to shut up Gao Minglou. As for Yu Du, leave him alive for the time being. This person is very suitable for carrying the black pot......
"It's not what the lower officials want to kill
Yudu is not Gao Minglou, but the king of Guangling County."
The hand that was serving the tea shook for a moment, and then his voice changed tone, "There is no order from above, don't act recklessly. King of Guangling County...... You and I can't move."
"Xia Guan understands that the adult has concerns, but if he doesn't take the opportunity to get rid of him now, he will become our henchman sooner or later......
The man above hesitated, but shook his head resolutely, "Don't act rashly!"
A creepy laugh erupted from the next man's throat, "What if the King of Guangling County dies of natural disasters and plagues? Who would blame the Lords for the plague of God?"
「……」
In the contemplation, no one spoke in the room for a long time.
"These little things don't bother adults, and the lower officials have already made arrangements. When the epidemic came, everyone was terrified...... However, Wang Gui of Guangling County was the governor of the state, and he set an example and dared to be the first, and unfortunately contracted the disease in order to control the spread of the epidemic, and died in Yangzhou......
Looking at the ruthless light in his eyes, the man above smiled slightly, suddenly changed his face again, and threw the tea cup in his hand violently.
The candle flame went out.
He asked, "Who?" Who's out there?"
The teacup fell to the ground with a screeching sound.
Outside the window, the rain crackled, and it was falling a little louder than before.
The man crept to the window, stood with bated breath for a moment, and pushed the window open with abrupt force......
"Meow!"
A black cat jumped down from the beam, its back was wet, and in a blink of an eye it burrowed into the thorn forest of the courtyard and disappeared.
The man breathed a sigh of relief.
"Don't be afraid, adults, it's a wild cat hiding from the rain."
Hum! There was no light in the house, and a cold snort was like a thorn in the back.
"Go ahead and do it. Only when it gets done as soon as possible can you and I have peace of mind."
