Be steadfast in being a passerby Verse 98
Later, she was transferred several times, and at the age of eight she finally fell into the eyes of a rich old lady. The old lady gave her to her eldest grandson, and she served them faithfully. When the eldest young master got married, she was also fifteen. The new grandmother came in January and offered to take her in. She threw herself on her knees and confided her life story, begging her grandmother to let her go out to find her sister.
The new grandmother took pity on her but couldn't let her go, so she discussed with the eldest young master and sent her to work in her dowry shop. This has been done for eight years, and after she got the deed, she didn't know where to go. When the new grandmother heard about it, she sent her a letter to Mengzhou.
Fengxi Inn is the property of the new grandmother's mother's family. By the end of the month, a new flower building had opened on the street, and the inn's business had picked up. It wasn't long before the Oiran of the Flower House came for breakfast. At a glance, she recognized the Oiran as her sister. My sister looked like her mother when she was young, and when she was older, she was the same mold as her mother.
Then... At that time, she killed both the eldest aunt and the mother-in-law's hearts. Her beautiful and soft sister has fallen into the dust.
Yue Hongling sniffed, and the inside of his nose hurt like a needle poking. Thirteen years passed, and at first she thought that the sisters had recognized each other, and that if they worked hard together and saved enough money, they would be able to help her sister regain her freedom. Daydreaming! Qinfeng Tower is far from as simple as it seems on the surface. In the last year or two, she can clearly feel that her sister is not in good health.
Chahan's fingers rubbed the tea bowl, simulating the whole plan in his mind. For thirteen years, he guarded Feihua for thirteen years, and finally waited for an opportunity, and he must not miss it.
Xiao Er took breakfast out of the kitchen, Yue Hongling took it and personally sent it to him.
The five-grain porridge was placed in front of him, and Chahan whispered: "When will the Li family leave?" ”
As soon as his heart tightened, Yue Hongling did not show it, his movements were still the same, and his voice was even quieter than that of Chahan: "I have set a room for two days." ”
Time is tight, but stronger than today. Chahan took the chopsticks handed over: "At noon, Fei Hua will come to eat, you can arrange it." ”
Yue Hongling's eyelashes fell: "Is it incurable?" ”
"Rule, but can't leave alive."
"If you can't live, then 'die' and go."
"I'll arrange it." Chahan took a bite of the mille-feuille.
"What do you have that is not cheap, just say, I'm convenient." Yue Hongling took out the handkerchief and wiped the edge of the table: "The porridge is a little hot, you should be careful." ”
Chahan chewed the cake: "After the detoxification, her body should be very weak, you can help me take care of it for a few days." ”
"She's my sister." Yue Hongling left.
Today, Li Shang's family of three, the first to wake up is Li Jiujiu. The little guy was sandwiched between her father and mother, kicked her legs and stretched her waist, and punched her father in the arm. Li Shang didn't even open his eyes, touched her urine pad, it was still dry, and he was about to withdraw his hand, when the heat hit, and he couldn't help but bend his lips.
Xin Shansi, who smelled the smell, got up, looked at her fat girl with a calm face, and took out the diaper from the rattan basket at the end of the bed. Li Shang quietly got out of bed and washed his hands, put on his shirt, cut his hair, and left the room.
Yue Hongling held her urine and waited early in the morning, and finally saw Li Shang and hurriedly went up to greet her.
Li Shang asked for hot water, ordered a few more breakfasts, and asked about the soup: "Are there any old turtles?" ”
"I knew you wanted to, so I specially kept two two-pound or so." Yue Hongling had a lot of things he wanted to ask about this, but he couldn't ask, suppressing his enthusiasm and trying not to let others see the clues.
"Are there any chickens?"
"Yes, and the eels, they were all just delivered."
"Chicken and turtle stewed soup, braised eel, and the rest you look at and do, the taste should be light."
"Cheng, I'll send it to you when breakfast is ready."
Li Jiujiu finished making it easy, turned over on the cloth pad with his bare little cheeks, turned up and down, startled himself, and then giggled again. Xin Shansi stood by the bucket and flushed the poop off the diaper. When Li Shang came back, he saw his girl lying on the cloth mat like a little turtle, trying to turn over but couldn't.
After breakfast, Feng Xiao and Qi Jian from Tianzi Room 5 entered Room 6 with a small cloth bag. Xue Bingning and Lu Yao arrived later.
Several people sat around the table, Feng Xiao poured out all the seals in the cloth bag, picked up the small bronze medal and put it aside, and then arranged the four seals that he had seen yesterday in the center of the table, and casually picked up one of the seals in front of him: "Lu Qingyi, the head of the Lu family in Peng Hejiang." Peng Hejiang and the Lu family were good at constructing organs to deploy secret channels, and there was a secretary of the Ministry of Industry in the Song Dynasty. ”
Lu Yao poured water, and his eyes fell on the bronze medal placed in the corner of the table.
put the seal in his hand in the center of the table, and picked up another one: "Yu Kangwen, the Yu family of Youzhou who is a knife man." ”
This family, Lu Yaozu knows: "Who is Yu Kangwen from Yu Qinian?" ”
Feng smiled and replied, "Uncle." He knew why the old man mentioned Yu Qi Nian, "In the first year of Liehe, Yu Qi Nian gave a knife to a little boy on credit, and let the little boy go ten miles east after eating the New Year's meal. Xiao Tong said that after Xiao Nian's dinner, he traveled ten miles east in the snow and met all the two real people who returned to the mountain. ”
"Xiao Tong is a real person of Fengyu?" Xin Shansi guessed, and when she saw Dr. Li nodding, she looked at Lu Yao: "The person who is on credit is walking with you?" ”
"It doesn't count." Lu Yao took the bronze medal at the corner of the table: "Because of a knife, the relationship between the Yu family and Fengyu Zhenren has been concluded." ”
Putting down Yu Kangwen's seal, Feng Xiao continued: "Hushan Zeng's family, Danqing family." Zeng Yu painted people, three points into the bones. I heard that he also has a magic skill, that is, to see the small to know the big, that is, according to a person's young appearance, the appearance of the person's youth, youth, middle age, and old age can be painted. ”
Amazing, Xin Shansi knows that there are such portraitists in the public security system in the world, but that is through systematic learning. This one should have drawn more characters and realized it himself.
"Xu Xueyi, Chongzhou Xu. There are still people in this family who are still working as executioners. Feng Xiao put his seal next to Zeng Yu, and then the next one: "Cui Rong, Lingzhou Cui's family, Lingzhou, Fengruo City, Luohe City's paper shop, seventy percent belong to his family."
Liu Huaigu of the Liu family of Nangao, a blacksmith. His family only had four blacksmith shops, but they were far from being comparable to the Linqi Su family.
The last one, Wang Yongnan, the previous patriarch of the Shannan Wang clan. Unlike many swordsmen, the Wang family loves hard swords and heavy swords. ”
Speaking of swords, Li Shang remembered something: "We didn't find any weapons at the bottom of the river. ”
"It's not strange." Lu Yaozu said: "The weapons are all in your hands, and you are fighting on the river, it is difficult to say where you will lose them, but you can catch them." ”
Xin Shansi looked at Lu Yao, he looked at the bronze medal back and forth more than ten times, and his brows became more and more furrowed, as if he knew something. Xue Bingning knocked on the table with his fingers, and Lu Yao put the small bronze medal under the eleven seals.
"The swords on the bronze medal are crossed, and there is a small hollow in the shape of a water drop half an inch straight down the intersection."
The room is silent, one breath, two breaths... Six breaths, the ruler sword spoke: "And then?" "What does the bronze medal look like, everyone can see it, and can use him to describe it?
Lu Yao narrowed his eyes and looked at Li Shang: "This brand is incomplete." ”
Looking at what he did, he had never seen a bronze medal like this. Li Shang and Lu Yao looked at each other, and even Li Jiujiu, who was in his arms, looked at Lu Yao solemnly.
It's too anxious, Xin Shansi urged with a smile: "Just say what you have." ”
"I've seen a full bronze medal." Lu Yao pointed to the hollow on the bronze medal with his hand: "There is a drop of blood missing here." ”
Li Shang took the brand, looked at the hollow, there was no inlaid buckle, and looked back at Lu Yao: "So whose brand is this?" ”
Lu Yao shook his head: "I don't know, but Chi Xi knows." ”
"You don't have to say the last half of the sentence." Xue Bingning was not angry, how many years had Chi Xi been dead, he knew, could he tell them or how?
Xin Shansi couldn't help but laugh.
Admiral Li put the bronze medal back on the table: "The drop of blood should be held by another person." There are codes and tokens on the joints of the rivers and lakes. This bronze medal is a token of a joint. ”
More than ten or twenty years ago, Lu Yao tried hard to recall, and he had the impression that he had seen this brand, but where did he see it... It's vague. No, he closed his eyes.
Ignoring the bronze medal first, Feng Xiao pointed to the eleven seals: "These eleven people are the people who Gushan and the Qi family listed in the Juesha Building twenty years ago to kill." ”
Xin Shansi stared: "If it is they who are carrying the seal, does that mean that the Absolute Evil Building has been deceived... Or maybe you're a part of it? ”
"The rules of the building are that if you want to get money, you must exchange the corpse or head of the person on the board, and there is a special inspector in the building." If the seal was really carried by himself, then Li Shang was inclined to the latter, and Jue Shalou also participated in the murder of the Li family.
"The Absolute Evil Tower is in Wind Rudder City..."Lu Yao's eyes opened a slit: "When I was eleven years old, I had chickenpox in Wind Rudder City, and I had a few days of fever, I should have seen a bronze medal in those days." ”
"You're eleven years old...", Qi Jian's eyes rolled: "Wasn't that twenty years ago, how many months?" ”
He knew this very well: "September. ”
"Could this bronze medal be a Peerless Building?" Xin Shansi leaned over, counted the sword on the card, and dotted a drop of blood dripping from the sword: "Killing people does not stain blood." ”
Li Shang asked Lu Yao: "In the fourth year of Taishun, what did you and Chi Xi do when you went to Fengruo City?" ”
"I don't know the specifics, I just remember that Chi Xi turned around and went to Wind Rudder City after receiving a letter." Lu Yao rubbed his face with both hands: "When my chickenpox is cured, he will take me away." ”
"Who is the owner of the Absolute Evil Building?" Xin Shansi asked.
Qi Jian shook his head: "I don't know, I just know that the building has been erected for more than 40 years and almost 50 years." ”
"I know a little bit about this." Lu Yaozu spoke up: "Before Chi Xi took Lu Yao, I had a drink with Chi Xi, and I was curious. Chi Xi's mouth was very tight, and he only revealed that he and his master were witnesses to the establishment of the Absolute Evil Tower.
There is not just one owner, but three. There is only one thing that requires the presence of tokens and witnesses, and that is to change the owner. Chi Xi also laughed and said that the three owners of the Juesha Building were three people that the world would never have imagined. ”
Syllable... Lu Yao took the case: "I remembered." He pushed away the bench and hurried to the door, and pulled the door out, and in a few moments he came with an old cloth bag and poured all the contents on the table. Copper coins, needlework, no luster beads, and... A small drop-shaped bloodstone. He picked up the stone, aligned it to the shape and placed it on the hole in the bronze medal, and pressed it gently. The stone falls into the hole, and it is just right.
Lu Yaozu's face was not good, and he looked at the small pile of miscellaneous things on the table.
Lu Yao picked up the copper: "Fifteen years ago, after I finished calculating a hexagram for myself, I never turned over the cloth bag that was late. If I hadn't seen this bronze medal today, I wouldn't have remembered it. ”
There was really nothing of value in the bag, and the bloodstone was a little bigger than a soybean grain. The twenty-three copper coins were also used by Chi Xi to tell people hexagrams.
Chapter 80
"You lost all my money, why didn't you throw him away in this sack?" Lu Yaozu didn't admit that he was sour.
Isn't that serious? Lu Yao smiled, and moved his feet to the edge of the ruler sword: "Maybe in the dark, there is a providence." ”
Lu Yaozu didn't want to be verbose with him, and looked at Li Shang, who picked up the bronze medal: "The Absolute Evil Tower was established in the year when Meng Yuanlie ascended the throne, and at that time, the Mongolian people had been in the Central Plains for less than ten years, and the world was extremely chaotic. Not to mention that the Mongolian people slaughtered and oppressed us Han people, even the Han people are also vicious inside. He is almost 70 years old, but he still remembers some of his childhood experiences vividly: "Rice and grain are expensive, iron tools are expensive, and everything is expensive. ”
"Rice is a stomach, and a stomach is life. Iron tools for self-defense, farming..."Xin Shan Sijue was sarcastic but understanding: "Everything is for survival, but human life has become the most worthless." "It is the poor people who suffer in troubled times.
"Absolutely evil..."Li Shang thought lightly in his mouth, feeling these two words.
"When the building was first built, how could it be as magnificent as it is now?" Lu Yaozu recalled the past: "A small building was very cramped, and seven or eight people stood in the house, and when they turned around, they had to crutch two or three people. He turned his head and said to Lu Yao, "It's not as spacious as our house, that is, there is a second floor." "Looking back at a few people," at the beginning, there was no business in the building at all, and it took half a year to be idle before someone came to the door and hung a sign to destroy the tiger village of Huya Mountain.
Wang Hu Zhaizi, the old people in Huya Mountain, and the west of Lingzhou all know that burning, killing, and looting can be described as all kinds of evil. At first, when this sign was hung up, some people laughed at it and some people were watching. But one night half a month later, Wang Huzhai was slashed by someone..."The knife was scratched on the neck," erased. ”
"After Wang Hu's village is the cannibal valley in Jiangpingdong, and the bodies of the twenty-eight wicked people in the cannibal valley are transported outside the wind rudder city during the day. Tan He, the first treasurer of the Absolute Evil Building, personally went out of the city to investigate the corpse. This is not a secret, Feng smiled: "Then there are the thirteen leather craftsmen in the valley of the Xihe River in Youzhou, these thirteen leather craftsmen are delicate in making masks, and only use the human skin peeled off the child's body." ”
"Wang Hu's village was destroyed, the wicked people in the cannibal valley were pulled out of their tongues, and the leathermen in the river valley were skinned. Li Shang teased the villain in his arms with a bronze medal. Li Jiujiu's little paw went to the ground twice at once to grab it.
"It's not a business, but it's not a business." Lu Yaozu nodded: "Chi Xi and his master are both monks, and the reason why the two of them are willing to testify to the establishment of the Absolute Evil Tower is because the purpose of the Absolute Evil Tower is to eliminate the evil. ”
Xin Shansi smiled: "At first, it was to punish evil, but then when the building became bigger and higher, it gradually changed its taste. ”
"Yes." Lu Yaozu sighed, full of regret: "At first, the building was very strict with business, not touching the official family, not offending ordinary people, not touching goodness, and all the signs in the building were big treacherous and evil. Once, when I was wandering the rivers and lakes, as long as I went to Fengruo City, I would go to the Absolute Evil Building to look at the listings. ”
"It's just that as the world slowly stabilizes, the listing in the building has changed little by little." Xin Shansi looked at Old Man Lu: "The name on the listing is no longer just a big traitor, there are more petty evils, and in a few years, the power and confidence of the building will be enough, as long as someone pays money, ordinary people can be listed." The only thing they dare not commit is the official family. ”
Lu Yaozu was a little lonely and nodded: "Twenty-six years ago, Lu Yao's father and mother were killed by thieves. I came back with a letter and took revenge, and then retired to the rivers and lakes. At that time, the Absolute Evil Building had not changed. Because of respect, there was the first year of Taishun I asked Chi Xi by getting drunk. At that time, Chi Xi was still a little complacent when he mentioned the Absolute Evil Building. ”
"So the transformation of the Absolute Evil Tower was after the first year of Taishun?" Xue Bingning asked.
This, if it weren't for the old man mentioning it today, Feng Xiao wouldn't have realized it.
Lu Yaozu affirmed: "At the beginning of the second year of Taishun, the son-in-law of a wealthy family surnamed Zhou in Yuyang was listed. There is nothing wrong with that sister-in-law, but his mouth is a little bad and he speaks mercilessly. After he was killed, the Zhou family's family business fell into the hands of the concubine. ”
"It's a minor evil at best, isn't it?" Qi Jian asked.
Lu Yaozu shook his head: "When Lu Yao talked about chickenpox, it also reminded me of something. In October of the fourth year of Taishun, Chi Xi wrote to me to inform me that Lu Yao had chickenpox and had recovered. I didn't worry much, but the sentence at the end of the letter was a little difficult to understand, and I never forgot it. Times are easy, but it is difficult to keep the original intention, sad. ”
Ordering the table, Lu Yao said: "In the days after I had chickenpox, I talked a lot less, and sometimes I didn't open my mouth for a day. I thought he was tired of taking care of me, after all, he was old, more than eighty years old! ”
Xin Shansi frowned: "Punish the big traitor and eliminate the big evil, and open up the situation of the Absolute Tower." With chivalrous support, the building is stable and bigger, and the wings are full and then slowly transformed. The people behind this are really clever in their means. ”
Putting the bronze medal on the table, Li Shang went into the room with his deflated daughter, took the bead chain from the rattan basket for her to play with, and walked out to sit back in his seat: "Forty-eight years ago, not to mention Chi Xi's master, Chi Xi was already famous. I can ask them to testify, the person who built the tower is definitely not an unknown person. ”
Xin Shansi agreed: "The original intention of building the building was to eliminate evil, and at least one of the three owners was sincere in the peace of the world." ”
If he is the master of the Absolute Evil Building, it has not been opened for half a year... Li looked at Old Man Lu: "Do you know who is the one who destroyed the king and tiger village?" ”
