Chapter 39: Retaining People
Early in the morning, the sound of the door opening woke the dragonfly, and she was just about to turn over and continue to sleep, when she felt empty under her, and she woke up in an instant.
"Sister......" Feng Xu just opened her mouth to call her, but was covered by a dragonfly, and pointed downward, signaling her to look.
I saw two housekeepers come in with trays, and there were a lot of bottles and cans on the plates, and I couldn't tell what they were.
"Huh!?" Suddenly there was a cry of terror from below.
The two family members fell to the ground in fright, and ran out of the room where Duan Yiming's body was placed.
"Oops!" The dragonfly knocked on his head, quickly flew down to close the door, walked to the corpse, and sure enough, he saw the corpse that had been dissected by himself last night, his clothes had been taken off, and his stomach was so big, and the internal organs were so open.
"Sister, what's wrong?" Feng Su went to the dragonfly in a daze.
Dragonfly was looking at the mess with annoyance, knowing that it would be stitched up last night before leaving, why didn't she have this habit. After all, it's not a formal job, and there are many mistakes when you become a monk halfway.
"Otherwise, run?" Feng Xu suggested.
The dragonfly celestial man fought for a while, patted Feng Fu on the shoulder and said, "Good idea, run." β
ββ
The haunting of the Duan family was not concealed after all, and it spread throughout Shenglong, except for the people who signed the death deed and did not have money to redeem themselves, all the others ran away.
When Dragonfly heard this rumor, it was already time to run out of Duan's Mansion to eat in the afternoon, and she heard the people at the next table talking about it. I can't help but prick up my ears and keep listening.
"It is said that the woman who was killed by the head of the Duan family before turned into a ghost and came back to take revenge."
"I gave people like that, I didn't want to be responsible, and I was afraid that I would have a bad reputation, so I killed people, but it was really dark enough."
"What's that?" The dragonfly leaned over curiously.
"That's ......"
"What's that?" Feng Fu also leaned over curiously.
The two people chatting realized that they were two young girls, so they said: "You two little girls, don't you stay at home well, what are you running around?" β
"We ......" Dragonfly thought for a moment and sobbed and said, "We were just sold into the Duan family by our family." β
As soon as the two men heard this, they began to sigh about the poor background of the two sisters, why were they so unlucky and sold to the Duan family.
"We are from the countryside, and before I came, I heard that the Duan family is a big family, and the owner is the most kind, and he is good to the people below, but I didn't expect it...... I didn't expect it to be a fire pit......"
Dragonfly was acting energetically, and when she turned her head, she saw Yun Feng who happened to be standing at the door and was about to come in, and when she saw her looking at herself, Yun Feng didn't think about it, and turned around and left.
"Two sisters, you can't go to this home. It's dead and dead, and you don't know what will happen to you. One of them looked at them pitifully and exhorted.
"What dead man? Big brother, don't scare me, I've always been timid and don't frighten. The dragonfly cried.
"It's not to scare you. A girl from a cousin's family of mine was assigned to serve the second son of the Duan family, who had smallpox, as soon as she entered the house. It is said that he saw something unclean, and within a few days he drowned in the pond in the yard, and his death was a terrible cry. The man sighed.
"ThisγThis is too scary, IγI have to hurry up and take my sister away before I enter the house!" The dragonfly shrunk into her body.
"Now it's dark, the city gate must be closed, you can go to the moat in the south of the city to see, not long ago someone was fighting there, a big fat man was thrown in and smashed against the wall, and the iron railing attached to the city wall was smashed, and that scene was ridiculous to me."
"Is it possible to get out of the hole that was smashed?" Dragonfly asked excitedly.
"You two sisters are petite, and it won't be a problem to swim out of the mouth."
Hearing that he could still go out like this, the dragonfly happily thanked them, and hurriedly went out with the phoenix.
After they came out, they saw from a distance that there was a man in white with a long body and a jade body at the mouth of the alley diagonally opposite, and the dragonfly ran straight over and stood in front of Yun Feng.
"It's coming out so soon?"
Yun Feng's stomach turned into a "um" word, and he nodded at the dragonfly.
"Are you ......" Yun Feng pointed to the restaurant just now, pondered for a while, and then asked, "What did you ask?" β
Even at this moment, he was still in shock at the dragonfly's perfect acting skills. She can say so many things nonsense, and she acts vividly, she really has some ability.
"The Duan family, it's so interesting, I don't know who passed it on, saying that there is a powerful ghost, and yesterday I also found a Taoist priest to come over to do it, and I heard that the Taoist priest died at the back door of his house this morning." The dragonfly clasped her hands, as if she was chatting with Yun Bong about gossip.
"That person was killed last night in the moat south of the city." Yun Fengdao.
"By the way, how did you get hurt?" Dragonfly asked.
"Led by design."
"Where do you lead there?"
"At the moat south of the city." Yun Feng frowned and said.
The dragonfly was stunned for a moment, and after reacting, he asked, "Such a coincidence?" β
"It's not a coincidence, someone behind it did it on purpose." Yun Feng said categorically.
The moon showed his face, and a touch of moonlight fell on Yun Feng's body, making the white clothes on his body even whiter.
Remembering last night, Yun Feng was hiding in the shadows, waiting to see if the Taoist priest could dig something out of the river. At the same time, I was also thinking about why the masked man wanted to tell the Taoist priest the secret of the Duan family, and what was the purpose?
After a long time, the Taoist priest really took out a box, and Yun Feng's attention was back on the Taoist priest, he watched the Taoist priest first kneel on the ground and thank him for his kindness, and then he found a stone to knock the lock on the box.
Just knocked for a while, and there was no sound. Yun Feng guessed that he might have opened the box, but he soon realized that something was wrong, because the Taoist priest had been sitting on his knees for a while.
He realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly ran over to check, and when he looked around, he found that the Taoist priest had lost his breath.
At this time, several silver needles flew out of the shadows, and Yun Feng quickly dodged them one by one. Then many black-clothed people ran out and surrounded Yun Feng, and Yun Feng quickly understood that this Taoist priest was deliberately throwing bait, and the other party's purpose was his own.
These people's tricks are very strange, they are ruthless, and they attack at the critical place, and they can't tell which way it is, so Yun Feng can only guess that it is the killer.
"During the fight, I suddenly felt dizzy, as if I had been poisoned, but all the way by, I didn't smell any strange smell, I didn't see smoke, it was very strange."
"Lord Yun may have been hit by the formation." Feng Su reminded.
"Formation?" Yun Feng searched around in his mind and nodded in agreement, "There is indeed such a possibility, although I have not experienced it, but I have heard from the master that there is indeed such a formation." It can deceive people's hearts and make them powerless to resist. β
The dragonfly patted the phoenix with relief, "You're finally useful." β
Feng Xu raised her chin proudly.
"By the way, how did you know we were here?" The dragonfly looked at Yun Bong and asked.
"In Shenglong, the Yun family can know anything."
Dragonfly nodded, just like Qinghe County, full of people she knew, and there was a way to know anything.
"What are you looking for me?"
"I'll show you someone."
The dragonfly exchanged glances with the phoenix, and then she took a step back and said defensively, "Who is it, can you not see it?" β
"King Huai'an."
The emperor's uncle today, the younger brother of the former emperor, is also the youngest prince in that generation, a few years younger than the Son of Heaven.
"Can I not go?" Dragonfly asked him with a dry smile.
"I just woke up, and the wound was just bandaged and came to you, do you think it's okay?"
ββ
Mingyue Tower, built near the beacon tower by the river, has a total of 18 floors, built with reference to the Abi Hell, and the name of each layer is also taken from the 18 floors of hell.
Standing at the highest point of the building, you can see most of the Shenglong, street houses, shops and restaurants, all in sight.
Dragonfly stood uneasily on the tall building where the cold wind was howling, and the hairband and green silk were in a mess like her mood at the moment.
"Third child, you see, the moon falls in the river, and the world is equally transparent." Yu Tianhe pointed to the moon shadow in the river and said to Yun Feng.
"Well, that's true." Yun Bong nodded.
Yu Tianhe glanced at him, and the dragonfly couldn't help but glance at him.
Yu Tianhe clearly wanted to say two unfathomable words, and turned a few corners to send a task to the dragonfly, but he Yunfeng didn't even give him a step.
However, it also shows that the relationship between the two of them is familiar, otherwise one is a royal family and the other is a subordinate, no matter how unwilling he is, he still has to do the work of face.
"Miss Shi ......" Yu Tianhe coughed lightly, and after hiding his embarrassment, he said: "There is a shortage of fast catchers in Dali Temple, although it is not a high position, but this king wants to find a person with real skills to serve it." β
Dragonfly's eyes lit up all of a sudden, and she even forgot the rule that the people were not allowed to look directly at the royal family, so she stared at Yu Tianhe directly.
"Ahem......" Yun Bong tugged at the dragonfly's clothes.
"Oh! Oh...... Folk Girl ...... The ...... of the people's daughters "Dragonfly is very heartbroken, since ancient times, few women can enter the county government to catch fast. Before, in Qinghe County, Liu Qingzhidu couldn't write her into the official personnel booklet and give her a normal salary, but now that she is in Shenglong, she didn't expect King Huai'an to speak in person.
"The people are puzzled." Dragonfly frowned.
"General Shi is my teacher with the third child, and I already knew everything about you in Qinghe County long before the third child went to look for you. They taught you very well, such a skill, into the rivers and lakes, it's a pity. β
Yu Tianhe is concise and to the point, and the key points that should be there are all there.
He is a disciple of Shijing, and Yun Feng is a senior brother, he knows Dragonfly's life and skills, and he also knows that Dragonfly wants to leave Shenglong and go to the rivers and lakes.
"The choice is yours, and the prince will not persecute you." Yun Bong added.
Yu Tianhe glanced at him again, with some reproach.
"I ...... I'll have to think about it......"
