The two rows of walls are towering, stretched into a line of sky, and the warm early winter sun does not shine into this gloomy and desolate place.

Lu Anran lowered her eyes and swept over, the person covered with black cloth on the ground was already out of breath, she slowly clenched her fists, and her heart seemed to be rubbed into crushed ice slag, cold and cold.

Perhaps because Lu Anran didn't shout, a hint of fun flashed in the man's eyes, but he was calmer and more self-contained than ordinary women.

Coming around from behind Lu Anran, she saw that the man was wearing a silver mask on his face, and his eyes were black and hollow, which was extremely cold, like an ancient well and a cold pool, deep and bottomless.

The man approached Lu Anran, and in her goosebumps, his voice was full of laughter, but the laughter was extraordinarily penetrating, "Nothing to say?" Then I'll have to send you on your way. ”

"I am the eldest daughter of the Lu family." Lu Anran's heart tightened, hoping that the other party would be careful about his identity, "If you kill me, you won't be able to get out of Mengdu." ”

The dagger in the man's hand against Lu Anran was withdrawn a little, and in Lu Anran's shocked gaze, he suddenly smiled lowly, and rolled around his throat, "Oh? Lu Xun brought back that illegitimate daughter. ”

The tone was ridiculous and frivolous, but it made Lu Anran's face change.

One sentence is just a few words, but it is enough for Lu Anran to judge the information inside-

First, he is not afraid of the Lu family, or Mengdu County.

Moreover, he is very clear about the affairs of Mengdu County and the Lu family.

Lu Anran closed his eyes hard, took a deep breath, and the cool air entered his lungs, cold from head to toe.

"I ......" Lu Anran's fist was clenched, and he used all his strength to make himself speak smoothly, "I can help you destroy the corpse." ”

The man raised his eyebrows, and for the first time showed a surprised look in his eyes, twisting her words and repeating: "Destroy the corpse? ”

"Dressed like him in broad daylight, there are only two identities I can think of, a secret guard or a killer, and you chose this alley to shoot, obviously you have already discovered that he is secretly following and deliberately luring him in." Lu Anran looked at the masked man, and there was a hint of wisdom flowing in his frightened eyes.

"However, no matter how clean you deal with it, as long as it exists, the people behind him will always find clues, and your troubles will not stop."

The man's index finger flicked the dagger he was holding, the cold light moved slightly, and he let out a crisp groan, and asked indifferently, "Maybe there is no one else?" ”

Lu Anran shook his head, "If it's a simple vendetta in the rivers and lakes, you don't have to be so secretive, and he doesn't have to hide his identity." I can make him disappear from this world without a trace, but the sudden disappearance of the person who existed will sooner or later make people suspicious, and I believe that you can use the time in between, maybe a day or two, maybe two or three days, enough for you to solve everything. ”

"You're confident, but I don't need to take any chances."

"I don't think you like trouble even more."

The man snorted: "How can you prove that you can?" ”

"With my life!"

The man looked at the girl, his face was pale, and the red blood on the right side of his face was called through the hall, as if screaming fiercely, twisted to the extreme, even if he tried his best to suppress it, the man could still clearly distinguish the fear hidden in her eyes.

Even so, the girl tried her best to maintain her bearing, pretending to be calm and negotiating with him.

The man didn't poke Lu Anran's pretense, he turned his backhand, and the dagger was flexibly withdrawn, "Give you a chance." ”

—

When the sun shone on Lu Anran again, she felt as if she was alive again, her steps staggered, and she almost knelt directly on the ground, holding on to the wall at the mouth of the alley, gasping for breath.

His face was flushed, the finger bones of his hat were white and blue, his face was still shocked, and his mind flashed back to the corpse that had rotted like mud and finally returned to dust, and he suddenly retched.

Lu Anran is not a timid person, otherwise he would not have disemboweled the male corpse with the same face that day, not so much fear and disgust, but the sin in her heart rose up, making her sick to her stomach.

Different from the starting point of the autopsy, no matter whether the black-clad masked dead in the alley was good or bad, it should not be a reason for her to dispose of the body at will.

See, in order to survive, she is not so bright.

Lu Anran took a deep breath, every year at this time, there are always invisible grains of sand in the air in Mengdu, but now she feels that there is no better air than this.

Walking past the coffin shop, her weak legs slowly regained her strength, and Lu Anran, who was wearing a hat, was the eldest lady of the Lu family who was not shocked when she was in trouble, and was tough and cold in her bones.

The old man's house had already been rented to another family, Lu Anran was silent for a moment, changed the established route, and turned around and went to another place.

—

Fireworks willow ground, fat powder scattered in the air, ten miles of fragrance, all kinds of spring/full of love under the shadow of the flower building, a red low building is particularly conspicuous.

The courtyard is sparse, the sun is shining, and the glazed tiles on the roof of the red building are shining, sweeping away the emptiness and sprinkling a piece of golden light.

Lu Anran looked up at the plaque of fragrant sandalwood, with the word 'Silver Building' written on it, the iron painting golden hook, and the pen walking Jiaolong.

A pair of couplets are pasted on the left and right of the red lacquered wooden door: the front and back of the ancient and modern know everything, and the heavens and the earth are omnipotent.

Horizontal batch: There is money to enter.

As soon as Lu Anran approached, the door was windless, just enough space for one person, it was not the first time she had come, but she was used to the style of the silver building, and stepped in with her feet.

After the wall, a tree full of red silk waving in the wind, countless copper coins hit, the sound is crisp, and the light shuttles, making people dazzled.

A red box is abruptly placed in front of the tree, and it is opened to the sky to make a grin, which looks like a temple/merit box.

Lu Anran took out an ingot of ten taels of silver and threw it in, and as soon as she heard the sound of landing, a flying shadow was wrapped in the wind, and she had not yet withdrawn her palm, and lay a copper coin.

The reverse side is engraved with three words: 叁贰武.

This is the rule of the Silver Building, the ten taels of silver that Lu Anran threw out were only exchanged for a chance to enter the Silver Building, that is to say, even if she got nothing here, the ten taels of silver could not be recovered.

Yinlou has always adhered to the style of this, the rich come in, love does not come.

On the other hand, if you have enough money, the people who come in will hardly go back empty-handed, which is the confidence of the silver building, just as arrogant as the couplet written at its door.

Lu Anran came to the room according to the instructions of the copper coin, it was still empty, she walked to the window, dialed the wind chimes made of copper coins on it, and then sat quietly.

After a cup of tea, the wind chimes are stirred by a gust of wind, making a dense and eager swaying sound.

Lu Anran looked up, and there was one more person in the seat by the window.

The person who came was dressed in gold, and even the mask on his face was gilded with a layer of gold paint, and the copper coins under the window were dangling, and the sunlight was shredded, and the golden light was intertwined, like a moving human-shaped gold bar.

Lu Anran disagreed with the hobby of the copper smell everywhere in the silver building, and after squinting his eyes to adjust to the light, he took out the willow leaf copper token and handed it over, "I want to know its origin and use." ”

The man took it, and instead of being busy with this business, he joked: "It is worthy of being the princess of Mengdu City, a place where ordinary people set foot once in a few years, Miss Lu is almost as commonplace." ”

"The princess is in the royal capital." Through the hood, Lu Anran's bright eyes did not rise, and he said lightly: "Here is a thousand taels, can I come to get the news in a few days?" ”

Lu Anran put the silver ticket of one thousand taels on the table, the man took it and shook it in his hand, and laughed louder: "Doing business with Miss Lu is refreshing, and I will take care of it a few more times in the future." ”

Lu Anran hid something in his heart, and he had experienced life and death in the dark alley before, and he didn't want to deal with people, "If Yinlou doesn't want to change to a teahouse?" ”

Being sarcastically ridiculed in person, the people in the silver building laughed for a while, shook their heads and said: "I just heard about Miss Lu's feat in the execution ground, and I admired it, alas, since Miss Lu is so anxious, I will tell you later." ”

As early as the first time she stepped into the Silver Building, the other party saw through her identity, Lu Anran did not doubt the opportunity of the Silver Building to gain insight into the news, and what made her strange was the second half of the sentence.

"What do you mean?"

The man pinched the token with two fingers and said, "I can tell you without checking, Liu Fen is a leaf, and the waist card of the Liu family in the royal capital." ”

Wang Du, Liu family?

Lu Anran doesn't know how many Liu families there are in the royal capital, and the one that everyone knows in the world is that he is now in power and opposition, and he holds the Liu Xiang of Jixia Palace.

After thinking about it, I heard the man say again: "That's right, Liu Xiang knows the Liu family." ”

In order to make a difference, the gate valve of the Shi clan will engrave a special waist card, so that if you go out to do something, take out the token so that the other party can make it convenient, in case there is any accident, you can also know the identity with the token, and there is no imitation.

On the street outside the silver building, Lu Anran still thought about the other party's voice in his mind.

"There are tens of thousands of willows, only the royal capital Liujia picks the highest branch, one door and three prime ministers, five Shangshu, seventy-two jinshi, unprecedented."

"The previous dynasty collapsed, and the Liu family, who was the right minister at the time, should have declined with the torrent of history, but there was a Liu Xiangzhi."

"Liu Xiang knows his person, the concubine of the Liu family, almost no one in the royal capital knew such a person before the age of fifteen, but when he recruited students in the Jixia Palace in the fourteenth year of Dingkang, he stood out from more than 1,000 people and became famous in the royal capital."

"It wasn't until after the present saint came to the dynasty that I knew that Liu Xiangzhi was the behind-the-scenes strategist who overthrew the previous dynasty, and the new dynasty was established, and he became the emperor's right-hand man and the only prime minister of this dynasty."

"Originally, the willow had one branch, and the willow knew that it was divided into one leaf, and it became what it is now."

A token involves Wang Du Liuxiang, and the matter is becoming more and more complicated and confusing.

At the moment, it seems that there are two choices - the old man is from the Liu family, or he is arrested by the Liu family.

Lu Anran calmed down, the trip to the royal capital must not be visited, I don't know if the execution ground will play a role.

Walking back onto the main street, people came and went, and the stream continued.

When the old man proposed to overturn the case, Lu Anran suddenly had an idea in his mind.

The arrival of the royal capital confirmed her conjecture, and after 20 years, Jixia Palace finally recruited students from all over the world again.

With Lu's status in the Daning Dynasty, she is bound to receive a post, but she also knows her father's character, so when her father selected Lu Jianyu, she was already prepared in her heart.

Then, there is another way to make the people of the royal capital notice her and force her father to compromise.

Just now, the people in the silver building inadvertently revealed a piece of news, which gave Lu Anran an extra chance of winning, if it didn't work, she could learn from Liu Xiangzhi back then, just like a poor student who didn't have a letter of recommendation, and take the entrance exam by herself.

Lu Anran stopped and turned his head to look south.

Wang Du and his entourage, can they finally solve the many puzzles in her heart.
