Chapter 50: Robbery
Xin Zhi was also lucky, and he happened to squat at the Lingxi Mansion.
Today, the Liu family suddenly wanted to eat dim sum from a shop in the west of the city, which was quite far away from the Boyang Hou Mansion, and the small shop was also in a partial place, and there were not many people around.
Xin Zhi made people ambush in the surrounding alleys early.
When Lingxi bought snacks and came out of the shop to take a shortcut and walk down the alley, she suddenly felt a chill behind her, and an indescribable sense of crisis came to her mind.
"I'm sorry, girl."
Xin Zhi caught her soft body, picked her up horizontally, and then was stunned, frowning at the person in his arms.
The secret guards who surrounded him stared at him nervously, "Lord Xin Zhi, what's wrong?" What's the problem? ”
Xin Zhi came back to his senses: "Ah, it's nothing, I just feel that this girl is as light as a feather." ”
A subordinate quipped: "That's the strength of an adult, and it will definitely not be a problem to hold your daughter-in-law in the future." ”
The others laughed.
Xin Zhi glared at them, and scolded with a smile: "Okay, hurry up, don't let people see it for a while, don't talk about hugging your daughter-in-law when the time comes, I have to pick your skin!" ”
The crowd dispersed.
……
When Lingxi woke up again, she found that it was dark in front of her, and she couldn't see anything, at that moment she suspected that she was blind, stretched out her hand and kept groping in the air, and then she heard a very light footstep approaching, and grabbed her hand, it was very big and hot, and the palm was rough and calloused, it should be a man.
Lingxi suddenly struggled even more frightened.
"Don't move, I don't want to hurt you, you wait honestly, the master will be here soon."
Sure enough, it was a man's voice!
Lingxi suddenly didn't dare to move, she couldn't beat it, if she angered the other party, she was afraid that she would die here, she couldn't die yet!
Sensing that the other party's body had softened and no longer struggling, Xin Zhi let go of her hand and lit the candles in the room.
She's not blind, it's just that it's too dark here to see her fingers.
"You don't have to worry, I'm picking you up today to let you meet someone."
Xin Zhi pressed the fire fold and played with it at his fingertips, looking at her half-hunched.
Lingxi couldn't help but shrink back, and didn't feel safer until his back was against the wall.
Xin Zhi naturally didn't miss her small movements, didn't explain anything, turned his head and continued to stare at the jumping flames.
Lingxi looked at him quietly, this person couldn't see his face while wearing a mask, but he should be quite young when he heard the voice, he has always had no grudges with others, who would do everything possible to hijack himself?
So what if it's not for yourself?
Her mind was racing, and she quickly targeted Boyang Hou and Liu.
Maybe the other party is coming for them.
Just as Lingxi was in doubt, the heavy stone gate suddenly went upward, revealing a group of people at the door.
She tensed again.
The group was dressed in black and wearing masks, and the leader was wearing a fox mask, which should be the person she was told to see.
Sure enough, as soon as the group of people appeared, the man in black who was originally hanging immediately got up to greet him, "Master, the person is here, and he has woken up." ”
"Hmm."
Chu Wuxian responded, and the stone gate fell from above with a bang, locking everyone in the secret room tightly.
Xie Shuangge was surprised, "You actually built a secret room in the mansion, Chu Wu hated you for being so bold." ”
But soon her attention was attracted by the only girl in the room, the other party shrank in the corner, looking at the age of twenty-seven or eighteen, quite delicate, the most prominent thing on the whole face was the pair of eyes, bright as stars, looking forward to shining, as if they could speak.
No wonder Mrs. Du named her Lingxi.
With these eyes, it is not difficult to communicate.
"Lingxi?"
Chu Wuxian stood in the center of the secret room and looked at her with lowered eyes.
Lingxi's body stiffened, and he nodded in trepidation.
Xin Zhi immediately moved a chair, Chu Wuxian sat down with a robe swing, and said straight to the point: "Do you remember Du Qingruo?" ”
Lingxi was in a trance for a while, his eyes widened, and his mouth opened, but he didn't make a sound.
"I know you're dumb, now I'm asking you questions, just nod or shake your head."
Lingxi nodded hesitantly.
"You remember Mrs. Du."
Chu Wuxian said affirmatively.
Lingxi's jaw was raised, and his eyes became more and more vigilant.
Could it be that these people were sent by the Liu clan to test her? See if she knows any secrets?
Seeing her reaction, Chu Wuxian narrowed his eyes, "Do you know how she died?" ”
Lingxi shook his head without hesitation.
"Girl, you will be punished for lying."
Xin Zhi pulled out a dagger out of nowhere and struck twice, the cold light was clear, and the spirit rhino who was watching shrank back again.
He sneered: "What do you think if you dare to lie if you are so daring?" ”
Lingxi lowered his eyes and did not speak.
Xie Shuangge can understand, he was tied to a place for some reason, he was not sure who the other party was, he definitely didn't dare to tell what he knew directly, who knew if he would die?
Chu Wuxian also understood this truth, and did not force her, but suddenly leaned back and changed his words: "Mrs. Du was killed twenty years ago, and everyone said that she was killed by a mountain bandit and fell off a cliff to her death, but no one knew, in fact, she did not die at that time, she was rescued by a passing knight, and she also had a son. ”
Lingxi jerked his head up and looked at him in disbelief.
How can it be?
Xie Shuangge sat cross-legged and blinked when she saw this, "This girl looks like...... Still a little happy? ”
Chu Wuxian also noticed it, and nodded at her: "This matter is true, now that son is twenty weak crowns, and he is investigating the matter of the year, I was entrusted by him to find out the Boyang Hou Mansion, but the old people who served Mrs. Du back then are basically dead, and you are the only one left." ”
He leaned forward, feeling oppressed, "So you're still going to lie to me now?" You are the only one to live, and the only hope to avenge Mrs. Du's grievances. ”
Lingxi's nose was sour when he heard this, and tears immediately poured out, falling one by one like pearls.
"Let me ask you again, is there something strange about Mrs. Du's death?"
Chu Wuxian's eyes looked at her without fluctuation.
Lingxi struggled for a long time, but still shook his head and raised his hand a few times.
Xin Zhi's head was big, "What do you mean?" ”
Chu Wuxian turned his face sideways, and saw a man in black leaning down behind him and said, "She said that she couldn't believe your words, and since she is the only hope, she must live well." ”
Xin Zhi raised his eyebrows, he forgot that there were still masters who knew sign language in the brocade guard.
Xie Shuangge praised: "What a smart girl, Mrs. Du saved you back then, it was really fate." ”
Lingxi nodded when he heard this.
Chu Wuxian was silent for a moment, took off the jade pendant from his waist, and dragged the red rope to Lingxi, "You don't recognize me, can you recognize this thing?" ”
Lingxi was stunned for a moment after seeing the appearance of the jade pendant, and then suddenly looked up at Chu Wuxi, her eyes lit up little by little, as if ten thousand stars were blooming.
