Chapter 17: Makes Sense!
Grunt......
The carriage passed through the bustling streets, slowly driving towards the brightly lit Wanbao Building, the streets were full of pedestrians, and occasionally you could hear the teahouse, the old old story of Mr. Storyteller:
"Huanglong Zhenren noticed something was wrong, and when he looked back, he saw a sword coming from the west on the horizon, and Hua Junchen Hua Daxia was wearing a brocade white robe falling from the sky......"
On the carriage, Hua Qingzhi was as quiet as ever, just looking at all kinds of street scenes through the car window, and her eyes were a little divine.
Hua Junchen, who was sitting opposite, was listening to Mr. Storyteller's words.
Hua Junchen has longed for the rivers and lakes since he was a child, and he also loves to listen to these anecdotes of the rivers and lakes, and when he was young, he fantasized several times about his story being sung.
And now that he is not confused, this dream can be regarded as a fulfillment, the only drawback is that this can have a relationship with him?
It's also a sword......
Hua Junchen heard these boundless nonsense, and his toes estimated that he could cut out an imperial city, and he wanted to let Huaning go out and walk around several times, and find the local snake in the capital to suppress these rumors.
But the more he doesn't let people talk about this kind of thing, the more people take it seriously, and forcibly explaining it will only smear and blacken it more and more.
Hua Junchen had no choice but to hide in the carriage as an ostrich, and secretly comforted himself with 'rumors stop at the wise'.
The carriage went all the way and soon came to the side alley of Wanbaolou.
The night terror, who rushed back non-stop, had already changed his clothes in the house, and came out of the door to greet him.
Hua Qingzhi saw the Night Terror Hall, her eyes flickered a little, and she got out of the car with the help of Lu Zhu, and asked:
"The painting was sent to Wang Jiwen?"
"The prince was not at home, so he was sent to the prince's mansion."
After the night terror hall responded, he stepped forward to help move the wheelchair down, and seeing that Uncle Hua was restless and full of sadness, he asked with concern:
"Uncle Hua, what's going on in the forest, have you explained it to the government?"
"Well, don't mention it."
Hua Junchen was full of distracting thoughts, sighed softly, and looked back at his daughter:
"Qingzhi, either for my father or go back to Chengtianfu to avoid the limelight, I didn't look at the yellow calendar when I went out this time, everything is not going well, and if I stay any longer, I am afraid that I will get a big ......."
Hua Qingzhi saw that her father wanted to go home and stay honestly, and she was naturally happy, after all, in this way, she was in charge of the capital, and it would be much more convenient to live with Night Terror Hall in the future.
However, the direct response of 'yes, yes, yes', it is estimated that it can make Daddy angry to death, Hua Qingzhi still kept it softly in her words:
"Even if Daddy does it, he will kill the gangsters, so why bother with the nonsense of idlers......"
?
Hua Junchen saw that his daughter still didn't believe that he was innocent, and felt that he really couldn't stay in the capital, so he immediately began to tell the guards to take good care of the young lady, and he went back to his hometown overnight.
But just as Hua Junchen was arranging things, there was a sudden movement of a large group of people running from the street outside.
Hoofs hooves dack......
"Get out of the way ......"
Hua Junchen heard the movement, frowned slightly, and turned to the door to take a look.
As a result, when I raised my eyes, I saw that on the bustling street outside the alley, there were messengers from the 12 brigades.
The twelve are the minions of the Son of Heaven, Hua Junchen saw that this scene was not good, and hurriedly asked:
"Guys, this is ......"
As soon as the voice came out, the messenger on the street looked into the alley.
Then the father-in-law, who was dressed in a eunuch robe, appeared at the mouth of the alley and walked with a few small yellow doors, his expression not looking very happy.
Seeing this look, Hua Junchen felt that the situation was not quite right, and stepped forward and arched his hand:
"Father-in-law, but you found out other things from the five monsters of Snake Peak?"
Xu Gong walked closer, his eyes kept looking at Hua Junchen, and his tone was quite polite:
"Our family has been supervising the work in Bishui Forest recently, and just now, there was a thief from the Blue Dragon Society who sneaked into Bishui Lin. Bishui Forest is a place for the Queen Mother to recuperate in the summer, if the layout is found out, leaving the hidden danger of assassination, this is a major event for the Nine Clans......"
“?”
Hua Junchen was inexplicable: "The thieves of the Blue Dragon Society have sneaked in, and my father-in-law has gone to find the Blue Dragon Society, what are you doing to me?" ”
Father-in-law Xu came to find Hua Junchen, naturally for a reason.
After all, there are not many martial artists with such good light skills, and there are not many in the capital, and Hua Junchen happens to be one of them.
Moreover, Hua Junchen has had an ambiguous relationship with the Blue Dragon Society recently, and he was still near Xixia Temple just now, and he had a time to commit the crime, so he doesn't doubt who he suspects?
Father-in-law put the dust on the crook of his arm, and his eyes glanced up and down:
"The thief who infiltrated just now has good martial arts and excellent light skills, but he was discovered by our family and injured with a hidden weapon. Our family came here to ask Mr. Hua if he had seen such a character when he came back today......"
Although Father-in-law Xu didn't say it explicitly, Hua Junchen was not stupid, just listening to this meaningful tone, he knew that Father-in-law Xu suspected that the thief who infiltrated the Bishui Forest was him.
Hua Junchen was quite annoyed in his heart, but in the face of the bad mouthpiece of the Son of Heaven, he directly untied his robe and exposed his shoulders:
"Where is the injury? Father-in-law pointed out to Hua? ”
“……”
Father-in-law didn't expect Hua Junchen to be so crisp, he glanced slightly, and found that his shoulders were clean and without any scars, and his doubts were naturally dispelled, and he raised his hand and patted Hua Junchen's shoulder:
"The injury is in this place, and the name of the Blue Dragon Society was left at the scene, which can be described as extremely arrogant. This matter is very important, Mr. Hua has been walking around the capital recently, so please help our family pay more attention......"
Hua Junchen knew that his father-in-law was taking the opportunity to check whether there was anything wrong with his qi veins, and his eyes were full of helplessness at the moment:
"I understand, I've been walking around the city a lot lately, and if I find a suspicious thief, I will definitely catch him personally and send him to the twelve."
Father-in-law confirmed that the thief was injured by Zhongsun Jin, and at this time, he probed inside and out, but did not find anything unusual about Hua Junchen, so he naturally ruled out the suspicion, and said:
"Mr. Hua has a heart. Let's leave first, where the duty lies, where I came to disturb today, I hope Mr. Hua is not to blame. ”
"Where, where, should be ......"
My father-in-law was busy with affairs, so he had to go to Xu Tianying's house to check whether Xu Tianying, who was extraordinary, was suspicious, and after a few polite words, he left the alley with people.
Hua Junchen breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, and stepped forward to send him off, until the messengers from the Twelve Institutes left, then he turned around and returned to the alley, and said unhappily:
"What kind of eyesight, can I lose my mind and be crazy enough to be a killer for the Blue Dragon Society, and sneak into the Bishui Forest without permission? What a ......."
Hua Qingzhi has always been with her father, so she naturally believes that Hua Junchen was wronged, and comforted at the moment:
"Twelve offices are like this, daddy, don't go to your heart, aren't you afraid of shadows......"
Hua Junchen saw that his daughter finally did not suspect him, and his eyes were relieved, because he was afraid that the twelve would suspect him and abscond, so it was not good to go back to his hometown overnight, and after entering the house during the chat, he returned to his courtyard.
Night Terror Tang kept following behind, and waited until Hua Junchen left, then he stepped forward and pushed the wheelchair, wanting to send Hua Qingzhi back to the room to rest.
But as soon as the group walked out not far away, in the quiet and elegant courtyard, a voice suddenly sounded:
"Who put a brick in the yard?"
Hua Qingzhi, who was in a wheelchair, was a little dazed by this:
"Bricks?"
When Night Terror Hall heard this, it was quite inexplicable, and together with Hua Ning, they came to the door of Hua Junchen's courtyard to take a look.
In the courtyard, Hua Junchen was standing in front of the main house.
On the white stone steps in front of him, there is a blue brick, which just blocks the way into the house, which is very conspicuous.
Hua Junchen saw the Night Terror Hall and a few guards running over to take a look, turned his head and asked:
"Hua'an, you just came back to put it?"
Seeing this scene, Night Terror suddenly remembered the connection code with the Blue Dragon Society, which was to put a brick in the alley.
Seeing this sudden brick, Night Terror Hall estimated that it should be Lao Liu of the Blue Dragon Club looking for him, but he mistakenly thought he was Hua Junchen and put the brick in the wrong place, and quickly explained:
"When I first came back, Yunli was sweeping the dust with a feather duster, I guess I couldn't reach it, I padd a brick, and I forgot to collect it."
Hua Junchen raised his eyes and looked at the eaves above, feeling that this height was out of reach of the cloud glass girl, so he didn't care about it at the moment, and picked it up:
"This girl is quite diligent, she can take a ladder if she can't reach it, how dangerous it is to step on a brick."
As he spoke, he threw the brick aside, patted it and walked to the room:
"Alright, let's all go down and rest."
"Okay sir......"
——
Soon after, the back alley of the spring full building.
The night is getting darker, and there are no people in the back alley, and Lao Liu, who has been mysterious in the Qinglong Club a few days ago, rarely did not hide in the dark, but walked around under the wall with a box on his back.
Pedal Pedal Pedal ~
After going back and forth many times, inside the wall of Chunmanlou, there was a familiar knock:
Knock knock~
Lao Liu quickly turned his head, although he covered his face with a face towel, his old eyes with crow's feet were obviously angry, and he said coldly:
"Why are you here?"
Seeing that it was really Qinglong who was looking for him, Night Terror didn't know what to say in his heart, so he responded:
"Just saw the mark. I'm not Hua Junchen, if I want to connect in the future, I can put a brick at the door of the rabbit head shop in Guozijian, and I will come over when I see it. ”
Do you dare to say that you are not Hua Junchen?
When Lao Liu heard this, he was speechless in his heart, after all, he was not Hua Junchen, he could see the bricks, and he ran over on time?
However, the Blue Dragon Club really shouldn't disturb the killer's life on the surface, and today's emergency summons broke the rules, and Lao Liu apologized in advance:
"The situation is urgent, I hope your Excellency will not blame, in the future, the Blue Dragon Club will be connected according to your arrangement."
Night Terror didn't say much about it, asking:
"Old Liu is in a hurry?"
When Lao Liu heard this, his anger came up again:
"You just infiltrated the Blue Water Forest?"
Night Terror Hall said frankly: "That's right, I went to investigate the news of alchemy, and I was accidentally discovered. ”
"You still know you've been discovered?!"
Lao Liu was a little angry:
"You ran away, why do you want to keep the name of the Blue Dragon Society on the ground?"
Night Terror Hall was confident: "I don't leave handwriting, how do you know that I really went to Bishui Forest, and the news was exchanged for my life?" ”
“……?”
Lao Liu was so stunned by this sentence that he almost didn't come up in one breath, and after holding it for a long time, he gritted his teeth and nodded:
"Makes sense! But do you know what kind of place Bishui Forest is? That's a garden for the Queen Mother, you can go in to investigate, and keep the name of the Green Dragon Society, is this trying to wipe out the Blue Dragon Society? ”
Night Terror shrugged slightly: "Do you want news?" Don't just clarify to the outside world, just say that it wasn't the Blue Dragon Club, I can still get the money by selling the news to others. ”
“……”
When Lao Liu heard this, he took a deep breath, suppressed the nameless fire in his heart, and restored the ancient well without waves:
"Why not? You dare to spy on the news, if I don't dare to buy it, how will I gain a foothold in the rivers and lakes in the future? ”
"That's not it, I also risked my life to leave the font name for the sake of news fidelity. After this incident, you have to sell the news to ask for a price, otherwise how will the seller know if the news of the Blue Dragon Club is true or false? ”
Lao Liu felt that this was not unreasonable, but he still seriously emphasized:
"Espionage is not the same as killing, the price is not high, there is no need to take such a big risk. And if the target is surprised by this and changes the place, the news will be outdated and cannot be sold.
"Next time, remember to keep a low profile, if you have to leave a font size to make sure that the news is true, you can leave the font size of Shuofeng City and Cao Gang, and the effect will be the same."
"Understood, I'll pay attention next time."
Lao Liu bowed slightly, and then asked about the matter:
"What did you find?"
"This news, in exchange for all the dotting fees in the Imperial City."
"As long as the news is worth this price, it is naturally possible, if the price of the news is surplus, the Green Dragon Club will also give you dividends, and my Green Dragon Club will be based on the rivers and lakes, relying on credibility."
Night Terror Hall and Old Man Liu said this in order to use the hands of the Blue Dragon Society to spread the news and attract people from the rivers and lakes to stir up the situation, so that he could benefit from the fisherman, and the silver or something was just incidental. Immediately said directly:
"The imperial court is refining a taste of elixir, which can bring the martial artist's skill to a higher level, and the top grandmaster can take it, and he can enter the unity of heaven and man; Wu Kui takes it, and there is no threshold for entering the martial saint; And the martial saint can enter the top three in the world. ”
Lao Liu had heard the rumors of the elixir, but he didn't expect that even Wukui Martial Saint could use it, so he frowned and said:
"Are you sure?"
"What the father-in-law of the twelve servants said in person is true."
"How many of these miracle drugs are there?"
"There are seven guaranteed pills, and they are refined in the blue water forest, and there are already finished medicines."
Lao Liu rubbed his fingers lightly with his hands behind his back, pondered for a moment, and then asked:
"This kind of magic medicine, when there is a master pressing the formation, can you find out who it is?"
"Zhongsun Jin. I was hurt by him, and I only wrote half of the font size. ”
?!
When Lao Liu heard this, he was stunned:
"When you meet Zhongsun Jin, do you dare to stop and leave a number?"
"How do you know if the news is true?"
“……”
Well, the conversation came back in circles.
Although Lao Liu was shocked in his heart, the movement of the Twelve Institutes was so big, he had to recognize the authenticity of the news, and nodded:
"You're really a master of the arts. This news is indeed valuable, but it is not easy to sell, and those who dare to buy it in the world may only be a lot of money in the north and south combined. ”
Night Terror Hall said to this: "Beiyunbian, Shenchen Monk, and those hidden old monsters will all be interested, you can contact them all, if you can bring them all, the probability of success is extremely high." ”
Lao Liu shook his head and said: "Monk Shenchen is a monk, and it is uncertain whether he will enter the WTO for this reason; If Beiyunbian wants to, he will directly show the court that the court will definitely discuss it in order to recruit peace, and he can't offend the court to death for this; As for the others, they are inferior in strength.
"Those who are really willing to pay a sky-high price to buy this news, counting the Northern and Southern Dynasties, it seems that there are only Night Terror Hall and Lu Taiqing in the Southern Dynasties. Night Terror Hall and Northern Liang have a mortal feud, and it is rumored that the empress is the head of the face and is loyal to the Southern Dynasty, this news can be regarded as a major event for him to burn his eyebrows......"
Night Terror Hall blinked, feeling that this old Liu was quite accurate, and responded:
"Liu Lao can contact them all to try, anyway, these people can afford to pay the price, and they don't have to really take risks when they buy it."
Lao Liu thought about it, and nodded at the moment:
"Okay, this news will be received by the Qinglong Society, and the way to enter the palace will be arranged for you as soon as possible. But you also have to keep your mouth shut, if the goods are sold in two, don't say that the gang will not believe it afterwards. ”
"Understood."
After Lao Liu finished speaking, he didn't stay long, and hid into the night with a bookcase on his back.
Night Terror waited in place for a while, and only after making sure that Lao Liu was far away did he leave quietly......
——
With the end of a busy day, the Hua family's mansion behind Wanbao Lou was completely quiet.
In the depths of the back house, in the boudoir where the young lady lives, there is still a little light on.
Luzhu walked into the house with a yawn, holding a medicine bowl in his hand, which contained freshly boiled medicine, and walked into the house hallway:
"Miss, drink the medicine and go to bed early."
Out of the window of the room, Hua Qingzhi, who had just bathed, was wearing white pajamas, sitting sideways next to the chess table in the window, flipping a sunspot with her five fingers, and her mind kept echoing the touch of dragonflies in the afternoon.
Hearing the voice of the green beads, Hua Qingzhi came back to her senses and raised her hand to take the medicine bowl:
"This medicine is so bitter, how long do I have to drink it?"
"Alas~ Is it bitter to come."
Luzhu sat down in front of him and helped rub his legs:
"When Miss's legs are healed, she can move around at will, and she has nothing to do to dance, I don't know how beautiful it will be. At that time, I am afraid that not only will she be the first talented woman in Yanjing, but she will also be able to easily win the title of 'Yanjing's first beauty'......"
Hua Qingzhi used to really yearn to be able to jump, but when she heard this at this time, she was not very happy:
"It's not a good thing that the tree is too beautiful, and the woman is too beautiful."
Luzhu has been by her side since she was a child, and she didn't understand Hua Qingzhi's thoughts, so she said secretly:
"Miss doesn't want to be the crown princess, I don't want to be a palace maid yet. Isn't the night boy in the house now, if the family urges it at that time, the young lady will say that it is not clear with the night boy, and the family will definitely not dare to marry you......"
Hua Qingzhi raised her hand and poked at Luzhu's forehead:
"What are you talking about? What to do if people hear it. Besides, the family can't be completely in charge of marriage, if the saint gives marriage with a wave of his hand that day, can grandpa still fail because of the Southern Dynasty's national rebellion? ”
Luzhu blinked, feeling that this was indeed a big trouble, and hesitated for a moment:
"If you don't drink the medicine first, wait two years?"
"What are you waiting for?"
"Wait ......"
Lu Zhu wanted to say that he would wait for the night boy to bring the troops over, but when he said this, he was afraid that he would suffer the young lady's brain, so he changed his words at the moment:
"When you are older, you normally enter the palace at the age of sixteen or seventeen, and if you are older, you will miss the age, and the court will naturally not choose a young lady again."
Hua Qingzhi shook her head lightly, her identity as the daughter of the Hua family is destined to age is not very important, as long as the Hua family behind her is still thirty years old, the matter of marriage is still involuntary.
But I don't think about these things anymore, there will always be a choice when my legs are good, and if she wants to run away from home and get married that day, she doesn't have to run in a wheelchair. Hua Qingzhi thought so, picked up the medicine bowl and took a sip.
Lu Zhu sat sideways in front of him, put Hua Qingzhi's legs on his knees and rubbed them slowly, and wanted to comfort him, but he suddenly found that something had fallen outside the window.
Call~
Hua Qingzhi was taking a sip of medicine, and her afterglow looked at the moon outside the window, but when she looked at it, she found that a black shadow fell from the roof very elegantly, and landed directly in front of the window close at hand!
"Poof-ahem......"
Night Terror Hall just came back from Chunmanlou, and found that Hua Qingzhi hadn't slept so late, so she wanted to come over to say hello, but as soon as she landed, she was sprayed with a potion, and she was directly stunned in place.
And Hua Qingzhi saw that it was a night terror, her eyes turned into panic, and she hurriedly pulled out a handkerchief from her arms:
"Nightboy, why are you ......?"
"It's okay, it's okay......"
Night Terror wiped the water stains on his face with his sleeve:
"I just came back and saw that the light was on in your house, so I came to take a look, I didn't make a sound for fear of alarming people, but I didn't expect to scare you. What kind of medicine is this? It's so bitter......"
“?”
Hua Qingzhi's expression was slightly dumbfounded, she licked her red lips, and wanted to make a thin angry appearance, but her eyes were more embarrassed.
After the night terror hall said something casually, he also found that it was not right, coughed lightly, turned his head and said:
"What's that...... I'm just coming over to take a look, I have to go to school tomorrow morning, you rest early, and I'll go back to my room to sleep. ”
Hua Qingzhi was still in a state of confusion, she was so interrupted that she was confused, and she didn't say a word until the night terror figure disappeared on the eaves again.
Lu Zhu's eyes were quite weird, he got up and closed the window, and asked in a low voice:
"Miss, does this count as mouth-to-mouth medicine...... Ah~ I was wrong, I was wrong......"
Hua Qingzhi has a problem with her legs, but she doesn't have her hands, her face is flushed and she twists her waist with green beads:
"If you talk nonsense, I'll marry you out!"
"Don't say it, don't say it, Miss hurry up and drink the medicine, it'll be cold later."
“……”
Hua Qingzhi wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, looked at the window again, and then picked up the medicine bowl and drank it all, and then was helped back to the show bed, looking like she couldn't sleep tonight......
