Chapter 21: The courtyard screams
The first wife of the Sky Shaker was named Jiang Yuyan, who died shortly after giving birth to her second child, and later married a lady who gave birth to a son for him, who is now only nine years old. The Sky Shaking Tiger has a house in the capital, the house is much larger than Xinzhou Liufu, there are several independent courtyards in it, and it is not a problem to live dozens of people, Mrs. Liu, Qingyun, Ziyu still came to live for a while two years ago.
The Sky Shaker has a bedroom next to the study in the front yard, where he occasionally rests, and most of them will live in a small courtyard to the east of the backyard, and this courtyard is unique in that in addition to the courtyard gate, there is also a separate side door, which can lead directly to the outside street. His yard, except for the regular sprinkling and sweeping, no one dared to enter casually without his instructions. Unless Mrs. Liu and the others come, they will move their family into this courtyard.
Zifeng lived alone in a smaller courtyard on the west side, and when he returned to his courtyard, he would inevitably pass through the courtyard of the Sky Shaking Tiger, and then divide into two courtyards, one for the maid and the other for the guards.
Perhaps it was the young man's nature to hunt for curiosity, for so many years, Zi Feng had been very curious about the courtyard of the Sky Shaking Tiger, and every time he walked in front of his courtyard, he would unconsciously glance at the gate that was always closed.
Zifeng has a hobby, that is, drinking tea, and especially likes to go to the teahouse alone to drink tea, sit down by the window of the teahouse, and listen to the stories of the rivers and lakes in other people's mouths, and the miscellaneous things in the world are also very pleasant.
That night, he found another teahouse to drink tea quietly and listen to the various states of the world in other people's mouths. Suddenly, a man's words drifted into his ears.
A man said in a low voice: "Do you know, the fifteen-year-old daughter of the Yang family on East Street was favored by the Sky Shaking Tiger, and she threw a sum of money to Old Man Yang a few days ago, and she was taken away." ”
Another person asked, "Are you talking about that poor bubbling old Yang head?" ”
"Exactly."
"Now Lao Yangtou's three daughters were all sold out by him, the eldest sold the landlord's son to make a small one, the second one sold to Qinglou, and the third one was good, and he was actually sold to the Shaking Tiger."
"Doesn't the Sky Shaker Tiger have wives and concubines?"
"I heard that the home of the Sky Shaking Tiger is in Xinzhou City, he only has a wife, no concubine, and he is very good to his wife, but he didn't expect to come to the capital to hide Jiao in the golden house."
"Haha, heroes are sad to pass the beauty level, not to mention the sky-shaking tigers who have always walked sideways."
"He's the prince's person, let's talk less about the Sky Shaking Tiger, so as not to get into trouble."
"We are not two princes and one party, just ordinary people, what are you afraid of him doing?"
"You don't understand, this murderous man, who knows when the hand is itchy, the knife will come down, click."
"I know, I know, hey, don't say it, don't say it, drink tea and drink tea."
Zi Feng's heart tightened, he casually picked up the cup and took a sip of tea, looked at the pedestrians hurrying on the street downstairs, thinking that it was so late, these people were still walking around the street, what were they busy with? Where does everyone go from here?
……
It was almost midnight when Zifeng returned to his house, walked through the corridor, and walked on the bluestone paved road to the courtyard where he lived.
When he saw the courtyard of the Sky Shaking Tiger from afar, he suddenly remembered the words of the man in the teahouse, glanced at the closed courtyard door of the courtyard, he gritted his teeth, and tiptoed over, he did not enter the courtyard, nor did he dare to go to the roof, but walked to the back of the courtyard, here is the back window of the house, outside the window is a dense bamboo forest.
There are several rooms in a row, and from the two bedrooms lit by candlelight, one is the bedroom of the Sky Shaking Tiger, and the other is the west wing where Qing Yun lived when she came.
"Qingyun didn't come to the capital, so who dares to live in Qingyun's room?" Zi Feng's heart became more and more curious, he hid in the bamboo forest, not in a hurry or impatient, just outside Qingyun's window, he sat down cross-legged and closed his eyes and breathed.
Under the cover of night, even the patrolling family members couldn't see that there was still a person sitting in the small bamboo forest, especially since they couldn't imagine that there would be someone in the mansion who would dare to sit outside the window of the Sky Shaking Tiger.
"Ahh
Suddenly, a scream came from inside the house, and although the sound broke as soon as it came out, as if someone had covered its mouth, it was still caught by Zifeng's ears.
Zifeng opened his eyes abruptly and turned his gaze to the back window. There were many shadows in the window, and there seemed to be two figures alternately, one tall and burly, the other short and slender, needless to say, at a glance, it was a sky-shaking tiger and a woman.
The two figures were entangled, suddenly appeared in front of the window, and suddenly disappeared, Zifeng's heart suddenly pinched, and his eyes were firmly fixed on the window.
There was a "bang", and the slender figure slammed into the window, and the shadow of a head and long hair swaying was clearly reflected on the window paper, accompanied by another scream, as if a person had been dragged away.
A few seconds later, the figure slammed into the window frame, one hand slapping against the window frame, and the fingertip snapping through the window paper.
There was a "bang", and there was a sound of falling to the ground, followed by two more "knock" sounds.
Curious and nervous, Zi Feng leaned out of the window, looking in through the small hole cut by his fingernails, and he couldn't help but gasp at this sight......
I saw that the Sky Shaking Tiger was wearing a black robe, and there was no inch in the open shirt, he was riding on a thin woman in disheveled clothes on the ground, grabbed her hair bun and smashed her head on the floor, fortunately, the ground was not a green brick, but a wooden plank, otherwise the woman's head would have blossomed, and the "dong dong" sound she heard just now came from this,
The woman looked no more than fifteen or sixteen years old, with tears streaming down her face, and her almost naked body was covered in blood.
The woman begged bitterly: "Master, I don't dare, please let me go......"
Regardless of the three-seven-twenty-one, the Tianshahu tore her clothes that could no longer cover her body with a "stab" sound, and scolded in a deep voice: "Lao Tzu saw that you looked like my wife, so he spent money to buy you, and he has already given you three days to think about it, how dare you disobey?" Since you don't want to live, Lao Tzu will do what you wish! ”
The woman cried and struggled, but in the face of this burly man, she was weak and all her struggles were in vain.
The Sky Shaking Tiger ravaged unscrupulously, the woman cried heartbreakingly, Zi Feng saw the anger in his eyes and rushed to the top of his head, he clenched his fists, and he couldn't wait to rush in immediately to rescue the woman...... But he couldn't, and he couldn't......
"Ahh Spare me, sir, I am not your wife, are you the same with your wife? Master, can you let me go......"
"Snap" a loud slap, the Sky Shaking Tiger scolded in a low voice: "You are not allowed to mention my wife, he is the holy fairy in my heart, what are you?" If you hadn't looked a little like her, I would have killed you a long time ago, and you should thank her for saving your life. ”
"Master, please let me go...... Master...... Ah......h
Zi Feng couldn't look anymore, his eyes were red, his whole body trembled, and he sat down slowly with his back against the wall, at this moment, the blue tendons on his clenched fists burst out, and the anger in his heart could hardly be suppressed......
After a long time, the room finally quieted down, and the Sky Shaking Tiger gasped and roared in a low voice: "You, it's not her after all, it's not her......"
The girl didn't seem to have the strength to cry anymore, and could no longer speak.
The Sky Shaking Tiger sat on the ground dejectedly, holding his head and muttering to himself: "My wife, she is dead, and she can never be found again, why?" Why are you all doing this to me? Why? ”
He turned his head to look at the girl who was almost dying on the ground, his eyes flashed with a hint of tenderness, he raised his hand and pinched her little face, as if he was looking at a work of art, he wanted to look for something from her face, he looked very seriously, and did not let go of every inch of skin.
Suddenly, he suddenly put aside her face, his eyes instantly became gloomy, and he said hatefully: "I've been looking for so long, and there is no one who really looks like her, sluts, all sluts!" ”
After a few moments, there was a sound of footsteps, and with the sound of the door slamming shut, the room was finally completely silent.
Zi Feng hurriedly stood up and looked in through the hole in the window, and sure enough, there was no figure of the Sky Shaking Tiger in the house, the girl was lying naked on the ground, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, who was in her youth, but was tortured in an inhuman form, and her body was covered with blood and black green.
The girl slowly turned her face to the window, and the purple wind hurriedly dodged away.
Zi Feng wanted to rush in and give her a piece of clothing to cover her body, how much he wanted to save her from this demon cave, but he knew that he couldn't help this girl, he couldn't do anything, this was a girl bought by the Sky Shaking Tiger, it was the product of a transaction between the two parties, Zi Feng had no right to interfere, and he couldn't interfere, he still had a lot to do, he must not give up the fruits of his ten years of hard work for the sake of this girl, and he couldn't let everything he had done before fall short because of a sympathy.
Therefore, in the end, he buried the only remaining kindness deep in his heart and chose to leave silently.
……
He did not go back to his room, but went to a place and met a man.
This is the small courtyard of a farmhouse in the capital, in a room without candles, it is as dark as ink, and a man in black stands in the house like a ghost.
"Purple Wind, you're here." This voice exudes the calmness and seriousness of a middle-aged man.
Zifeng said: "Yes." ”
The man in black said: "I saw the mark you left, is there something wrong?" ”
Zi Feng said: "The prince wants to shake the sky and send someone to be a lobbyist to lobby Zhang Chengxiao. ”
The man in black sneered: "He actually asked the Sky Shaking Tiger to do this? Who are the Sky Shakers going to send? ”
Zifeng: "Zhao Dehai." ”
Man in Black: "Is that him?" ”
Purple Wind: "You know him?" ”
The man in black: "Well, it turned out to be a gangster on the streets of the capital, who took refuge in the Sky Shaking Tiger ten years ago, and he was sleek and calculating. ”
Zifeng: "I heard Zhao Dehai say that he plans to be Zhang Chengxiao's doorman." ”
The man in black smiled: "He can do it if he wants to?" Does he want to go to the priest's door with his status as a gangster? He also thinks too highly of himself. ”
Zi Feng said: "He thinks that everyone doesn't know him, and he will change his name to Zhu Feng." ”
The man in black smiled: "He was originally just a piece of dung." ”
Zi Feng said: "In my opinion, it's better to follow his wishes, stabilize them first, and then act at the opportunity." ”
The man in black said: "It's okay, then play with them." ”
Zi Feng said: "There is one more thing. ”
Man in Black: "What's the matter?" ”
Zi Feng paused for a moment and said, "The Sky Shaking Tiger brought back a girl. ”
"Girl?"
"Yes, a teenage girl."
The man in black whispered: "That's his freedom, what's the matter, you don't care about it?" ”
Zi Feng said: "I, I saw it inadvertently tonight, it's miserable, I'm a little ...... I can't bear it. ”
The man in black sneered: "It's still too young, don't be overflowing with compassion, there are many miserable people in this world, aren't you one of them?" ”
Zi Feng's heart paused for a beat, and then fell silent. I have to admit that he is very right, but the path of misery is different, and the form is also different.
The man in black said: "This person, if you want to save it, it depends on whether you have the ability to save it, and you have to save it under the condition of ensuring your own safety, whether you or me, no matter how many hardships you have experienced and how many difficulties you will encounter in the future, it is our experience before the rebirth of Nirvana in the future." ”
Zifeng hugged his fists and said: "Yes, I wrote it down, that Zhang Chengxiao's side, you should be more careful." ”
The man in black said, "If nothing else, you should go back early, lest he find out." “
"Yes, Purple Wind farewell."
Leaving the hut, in the dark night, the purple wind walked like a fly......
