Chapter Forty-Six: Killing

Inexplicably stepped down the steps, grabbed the reins of the eight cylinders, and for a while, Li Hu noticed that his inexplicable face was a little gloomy, and hurriedly stopped, and then, in front of him, he led inexplicably to the backyard of the City Lord's Mansion, and inexplicably led the donkey behind him.

After passing through several corridors, a strong fragrance of flowers came, sandwiched with the fragrance of the earth, and what came into view was a marble white jade moon gate, which was a small courtyard in the southeast corner of the city lord's mansion, and there were many weeds growing in the courtyard, which had obviously been uninhabited for a long time.

"This yard, it's too late to clean up, but I've ordered someone to clean up the house, if Brother Mo doesn't dislike it, let's live here tonight." Li Hu said inexplicably.

Inexplicably led the eight cylinders into it, stepped into the soft weeds, in the middle of the yard, is a stout ash, the turquoise wisps of thousands of strands hang down, all over the flower ponds, blooming with different colors of flowers, exuding different flavors of fragrance, some rich, some elegant, three trees crape myrtle, bright and gorgeous, more than 20 roses green to the wivelling, purple and red, blue-purple bellflower are all single born in the tip, blooming like a bell, quiet and elegant, delicate but not glamorous, the vines of morning glory climbed up along the corner, climbed an elegant, clean and bright white jade building.

The small building is not high, it is divided into three layers, the glazed tiles are paved, the eaves of each layer are cocked, but a few flying swallows are carved that are about to fly in the air, on the top of the small building, there is a white jade plate, on the jade plate, holding a snow-white round stone bead, in the sun, bright as the moon.

Purple sandalwood doors and windows, exudes a unique agarwood, on the door and window lattice, carved water, falling rain and snow, painted with colorful phoenix flying clouds, mandarin ducks playing in the water, and double open, willows and other beautiful scenery, if at this time inexplicably can have the memory of that idiot, he will know, this small building is whose residence.

Two men dressed as servants in front of the door greeted them, a handsome maid in a short cardigan pushed open the door with a plate of water, saw the city lord Li, hurriedly saluted, there was a burst of laughter like silver bells in the house, but it was two seventeen or eighteen-year-old maids who were playing on the second floor.

City Lord Li coughed and said, "Brother Mo, please." ”

The two male servants were very knowledgeable and wanted to take the reins of the donkey, so they waved their hands inexplicably and said, "No need." Then he let go, and the donkey seemed to have been suppressed for a long time, and went around twice in the small courtyard, trampled on a few flowers, and then went on the spot, rolled comfortably, and then lay lazily on the ground, and from time to time rolled up a few weeds on the ground, chewed it, and spit it out, as if it was not to its taste.

Li Hutou led the way, inexplicably followed into the small building, inexplicably looked around, the first floor of the small building, like an elegant study, the red sandalwood desk is placed with the four treasures of the study, but the appearance is a little old, hanging a few Xiaohao brushes have been bald, but under the arrangement of a few maids, it is placed quite neatly, on the table, the incense burner that has just been lit, exudes a unique fragrance. Behind the desk, there is a bookshelf made of agarwood, staggering backwards and downs yellowed books, obviously not yet had time to clean up, looking left and right, there are several calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall, each painted with flowers, birds, fish and insects, because the small building has been dusty for too long, and no one takes care of it, it seems a little dark, faded into a dark yellow, however, from the calligraphy and painting can still see the ability to depict people, inexplicably stopped in front of a beautiful small order, from the calligraphy line, at a glance know that this is a woman wrote. Inexplicably whispered:

Butterflies love flowers

Dream of entering the Yanshui Road in the south of the Yangtze River, walking all the way to the south of the Yangtze River, and not meeting people who leave. There is no place to say anything about the soul in sleep, and the feeling is melancholy and the soul is mistaken.

If you want to do your best in this love letter, the floating geese sink the fish, and there is no evidence in the end. But leaning on the strings and singing goodbye, the broken intestines moved through the Qin Zheng pillar.

Under the small order, there is no signature, so I don't know who wrote it.

Inexplicably looked down, a guqin was placed in front of him, inexplicably played lightly, the strings rang loudly, stirring up a layer of dust, the strings rippled a few times, and suddenly broke.

"Childe, the slave and maid on the first floor haven't come to clean up yet, please forgive me." A servant girl who followed inexplicably said.

nodded inexplicably, without the slightest sense of blame in his heart, "Childe, we have already cleaned up the upstairs, please go upstairs and take a look." A shrewd and capable maid said.

Inexplicably followed her upstairs, and after Li Hu asked a few people a few words, he said goodbye and left.

Upstairs, the maidservant opened the door for inexplicably, inexplicably walked into the house, and smelled a fragrance in the room, but it was a pot of tea on the wooden table, he looked around, a few simple tables, scrubbed clean and bright, preserved eggs broke free from the inexplicable arms, jumped, jumped to the crescent moon bed facing the south window, rolled comfortably, obviously extremely satisfied with the new loose nephrite bed, and the flying slave bird on his shoulder fell in front of the window.

The weather was hot, the maid pushed open the window, inexplicably picked up a bunch of lychees on the table, peeled them and ate a few, which were sweet and delicious, and then drank a cup of tea handed over by the maidservant, moistening her somewhat dry throat.

"You go out, I'm okay here." Inexplicably, he had never been served like this, and he seemed a little uncomfortable, so he drove out the servant girl who was not much older than him with a straight face.

The maidservant closed the door for inexplicable, and inexplicably then collapsed on the bed, somewhat idle.

At this time, Zhao Lichun and Zhao Gongzi were even more uncomfortable, he was pacing anxiously in the lobby of the City Lord's Mansion, ignoring the heat of the weather, even if there were two men dressed as officials in their forties, one of them was holding a paper fan, and as he continued to fan, his forehead was still crackling with a lot of sweat.

"Young master, I'm back." Before the person arrived, the words arrived first, Li Hu walked into the house with hurried steps, "Settle down?" Zhao Lichun asked eagerly.

Li Hu nodded, "Okay!" Zhao Lichun said with satisfaction, and then took out the imperial history talisman that was nominally given to him by His Majesty today, but was actually created by the Taishi privately, and said to Li Hu: "Quick, take this, and transfer all the people who can be used in the city!" Immediately surround me with your lord's palace. ”

"Young master, you really want to do something to him, he is a member of the Xianmen." Zhao Lichun reminded.

"So what! If it weren't for Mo Tingting back then, this kid might have died a long time ago, if he knew about the Mo family, my life would definitely not be saved. Zhao Lichun said fiercely.

"But young master, if you want to do something to him, you have to wait for me to arrange the family properly, if you want to do it, what will my family do?" Li Hu said eagerly.

"Don't talk nonsense, do as I say, my life is still important or theirs' life is important, now I can't take care of it so much, I don't believe it, in just three years, this stupid boy can still turn the sky." Zhao Lichun said.

"But?" Li Hu still wanted to continue to fight, but Zhao Lichun didn't want to give him this opportunity, so he was immediately furious and reprimanded: "If you don't hurry up and give it to Lao Tzu, if you dare to delay it again, I will kill you now, and let you go to the underworld with your three wives and four concubines." ”

Li Hu didn't dare to say more, shook his head and ran out, for fear that if he delayed the time, his young master would turn his face and not recognize people. A man with a lust for profit, his wife and children are sometimes not worth mentioning, he is still young, in his thirties, and there is still a lot of time waiting for him. As soon as Li Hu left, Zhao Lichun left the City Lord's Mansion under the protection of his personal guards, and he didn't know where he went.

In the city lord's mansion, the housekeepers, servants, wives, and maidservants who do things are still busy in an orderly manner, as in the past, some places are lively, but some places are very calm. Inexplicably bored upstairs, he went downstairs, took a quaint book from the shelf, dusted off it, and went upstairs again with the smile of the maidservant.

He opened the book cover, flipped through it at will, the content of the book, obscure, so he was not very satisfied, he went downstairs again, happened to see all the people in the house retreated, leaving only him, enjoying the cleanliness of the small building alone, he came to the bookshelf, from beginning to end, walked around, happened to see in the corner of the top of the bookshelf, lying a different book, inexplicably jumped lightly, then took it off, but saw this book, wrapped in white satin, but the dust that fell, made the white satin change color, But it did not cover the red orchid embroidered on the white satin, and when I reached out inexplicably, there was a faint fishy smell, it was the smell of blood, obviously, this orchid had been stained with blood. Inexplicably sat in front of the desk, unfolded the satin, inside was an ordinary scripture, the book was not thin or thick, the book envelope made of light gray kraft paper, inexplicably flipped over, and suddenly found a letter folded in two, inexplicably opened the letter, but when he saw the content of the letter, his body began to tremble involuntarily, and two lines of tears suddenly burst out of his eyes.

"Boy, you wait for Lao Tzu." Inexplicably, he gritted his teeth and muttered to himself.

Although the people did not know what was going on, they could see this murderous and murderous soldier, and they knew that something big might happen to this small Peicheng, so they fled in all directions, and each returned to his home, locking the doors and windows, and not daring to go out again.

"Could it be that the jade-faced fox has reappeared?" A couple hugged their child in the house, frightened and trembling in their arms. "That's not right, lady, doesn't the jade-faced fox only appear at night?"

"You are a bad family, don't say more, take the child to hide." The wife reproached.

The man hurriedly picked up the child, pushed open the door, looked into the courtyard, saw that there was no one around, and after making sure that it was safe, he greeted his wife, slipped into the backyard along the corner, and then lifted the cellar covered by bluestone slabs and hid in.

Inexplicably, he carefully folded the letter in his hand and carried it into his arms, and at this moment, he heard a commotion, the shaking of armor, the unsheath of swords, the stretching of bowstrings, the movement of soldiers, all the sounds, even if the well-trained commanders and soldiers were careful, but all of them were inexplicably heard in his ears.

"Do you have to force me to kill!" The heart of inexplicable benevolence and conscience throbbed.
