Chapter 16 The strange phenomenon in the south of Jiaxing City
On the lonely and deserted streets in the south of Jiaxing, a group of hat-hatters like headless flies asked when they met - where is the Ni family, who wanted to inquire about the destruction of the door and the ghost house? A few feet behind them, there was a man in a black cloak, who had been quietly following them......
Looking at what seems to be a tall and solid mansion in front of them, the hats and hats glanced at each other, and they all had a tacit understanding with each other: it seems that Ni's house should be here! Just when they were overjoyed and thought they had found the right place, the "man in the black cloak" stopped around the corner and disappeared without a trace.
The hat-takers found the gate of the house, and after some "pushing", one of them came up and knocked on the door—once, twice, three times...... But no one responded at all! The hatsters couldn't help but look at each other, and one of the small boss-looking people suddenly realized, "This is it! Thinking about this Ni Mansion - how can there be people now? ”
As soon as his words fell, a cold voice suddenly sounded in the darkness: "Who-that?" ”
Everyone was caught off guard, and they shivered one after another, and looked back: I don't know when, a personable white-clothed showman quietly came from behind! The white-clothed showman's face was like a bright moon, his eyes were like stars, and he shook a folding fan in his hand, like an angel descending to earth.
When the white-clothed Xiushi saw that those people wanted to knock on the door of the mansion, he didn't ask any more questions at the moment, but just smiled slightly and reminded them: "Friends, I think you must have made a mistake!" Ni Zhai is over there. With that, he pointed the closed fan to the west.
The hat-bearers looked ignorantly in the direction he was pointing, only to see a deep alleyway, winding its way in the darkness......
A few people were immediately a little confused, so they turned around and wanted to ask that Xiucai again. Who knew that in the blink of an eye, the white-clothed showman disappeared like a phantom!
At this moment, a mournful voice sounded in the depths of the alley: "Ni Dashan, go all the way!" ”
What's going on? What is "all the way to the road"? Could it be that the talent who helped guide the way was actually ...... Is it? That answer was so terrifying that the hatsmen would rather choose a "brain short-circuit" than automatically go around that "brain circuit"!
Just as the hats were trembling and suspicious, there was another mournful and complaining voice, faintly, as if floating from the Netherworld: "The Ni family has sixty-eight families, and they went to Jiuquan with grievances—teach me how to blind them?" ”
Just after the voice of the grievance, suddenly a long white silk hung down from a high upturned corner of the street! Under the bleak evening breeze, a line of blood-colored handwriting appeared on the white silk that was floating around!
"No, it's definitely a hell of a bump!" The "man in black cloak" who had just disappeared around the corner of the street suddenly disappeared and returned, and when he saw such a scene, he raised his voice and roared. His "adding oil and vinegar" was like throwing a pot of hot oil into a cannonball!
"Oh my God!" One of the hatsmen broke down and slammed into the wall like a madman—and in an instant his head was bleeding and he died in the streets.
Two other people, due to the high level of tension, immediately reached out and drew their sabers, and then began to slash nervously in all directions. In the dark, the two swordsmen's moves were completely indistinguishable, and in the end, they killed each other!
The last remaining small leader, although his concentration and courage were a little better, but the frenzied behavior of his companions - he finally couldn't stand it. Eventually, the man yelled at the sky several times, then violently spewed out a few mouthfuls of blood, and then fell to the ground with a bang......
In less than half an hour, several hat-fighters all died in the streets, and the scene was quite tragic. The people in the neighborhood obviously heard those unusual sounds, but because they were afraid of trouble, none of them dared to show their heads and come out to see what was going on.
In this situation, even the evening breeze on the streets began to become more gloomy and miserable...... At night, the south of Jiaxing City once again fell into a gloomy and desolate situation.
The big man who witnessed this tragedy in the alleyway couldn't bear to look at it at the moment, he picked up a strange-shaped weapon, quickly turned around and strode into the depths of the alley. The white silk hanging on the high eaves of the street is still fluttering in the gusty wind, and it seems that it is still silently telling something......
Early the next morning, on the street where Ni's house was located, several neighbors who came out to sweep the street were very shocked to find that at the gate of Ni's house, someone had reposted a couplet! It reads, "The Grimace Division apologizes for his sins with death, and the North Pavilion will suffer soon!" ”。
This couplet directed at the North Pavilion and the Grimace Division, together with the incident of the hat-fighting guest who died on the street last night, spread quickly throughout Jiaxing City like wings. From this point of view, it is absolutely impossible for the government to ignore the tragedy of the Ni family this time.
……
Early the next morning, on the official road outside the south gate of Jiaxing City, a very divine zebra carried a white knight, and walked comfortably in the morning breeze under the glow of the morning sun. At this moment, the white knight riding on the horse, although he had a heroic scarf wrapped around his head, could not hide his rather handsome appearance - his face was like a bright moon and his eyes were like stars!
That's right, this person is the person who pretended to be a white-clothed showman on the street last night, named Shen Gong. This Shen Gong lost his father at an early age, so he defected to his distant uncle Shen Yixi, and was later recognized by Shen Yixi as a righteous son. Shen Gong is alert and capable, and he is very effective in handling affairs, and he is gradually relied on as his right-hand man by his father-in-law's side.
In recent years, Shen Yixi's official fortunes have been prosperous, and he was awarded the Fuzhou Prefecture General Judgment last year. On the way south to Fuzhou Mansion to take up his post, Shen Tongju also made a special detour to Jiaxing City and visited his cousin Ni Liang.
Later, when the Ni family suffered, when Xin Chaihu was protecting the young master and running away, he first remembered the backer of Shen Tongju of Fuzhou Mansion. That night in the mountains and forests of Mangcang Mountain, Xin Chaihu responded calmly and flexibly on the mountain road, and finally tracked the "three horses" to the small cave in the Misty Gorge, and easily "stole" the young master Ni Luo.
After Lao Jianghu Xin succeeded in chasing the tiger, he went directly to the incense burner peak to find the clogs Daoist, and he arranged for someone to send away the last bit of blood of the Ni family overnight. In fact, the clogs who have always done things without leaking water did not arrange for his own people to deliver the baby, but through some secret channels, he handed over the task to the chivalrous underground courier service - "Star Express" to do.
"Star Express" did things safely and quickly, and sent people to rush to hundreds of miles of water that night, and then dozens of miles by land, and delivered the baby Ni Luo to Shen Tong's house unscathed. Shen Yixi, who was shocked by the bad news of the Ni family, hurriedly asked his subordinates to take care of the Ni family's orphans, and at the same time quickly assigned Shen Gong to rush to Jiaxing to deal with the matter.
In the eyes of the scheming Shen Tongjuan, Shen Gong, the righteous son who has always been known as the "Spirit Fox", will definitely be able to ensure the success of the horse! However, Shen Yixi himself has another consideration for the Ni family's murder of the family......
