Chapter 208: Jianghu Dao
Huo Yanhua took the medicine back to the mansion and asked his subordinates to fry it for Qiu Feng to drink. Then, under the pretext of going to Longhu to ask for sea cucumber stewed soup to replenish her body, she took the opportunity to go to Donghua Inn. Although there is nothing suspicious about going to Longhu, at this stage when Qiu Feng was arrested for killing his father's enemy, it will still make the top ten wealthy businessmen suspicious. After all, the murderer was imprisoned in the inn of Longhu.
Everyone knows that Donghua Inn is the largest inn in Suzhou City, and it is also a place where people in the rivers and lakes love to come. Sea cucumbers have always been the favorite of high rollers, so Donghua Inn has sea cucumbers all year round, and there is an ice vault in the cellar to keep them fresh. Coincidentally, the ice vault is also located under the Donghua Inn, and what is even more coincidental is that she and Qiu Feng both love sea cucumbers.
When Huo Yanhua came to the inn, Long Hu was upset about Ye Weiyang's affairs. She didn't ask Long Hu the reason for his upset, and coaxed him to be happy in a few words. In the end, the meaning of the Tao was clarified.
Longhu learned that Huo Yanhua wanted sea cucumbers, so without saying a word, he asked people to go to the ice warehouse to get them. Huo Yanhua said: "I'll pick it myself." ”
Huo Yanhua naturally followed Longhu into the underground. Through the underground gate, there are two paths, on the left is the inn's storehouse where food is stored, and on the right is the cell where the prisoners are kept. On the other side of the cell, another door was blocked, and two guards stood guard at the door.
Huo Yanhua stopped in the middle of the two intersections, glanced at the two guards, and asked Longhu, "Isn't there an ice storage over there?"
Long Hu didn't have much heart for Huo Yanhua, and said, "It's a prison cell over there." ”
Huo Yanhua pretended to be surprised, "Cell? You are not a yamen here, how can you have a cell? I thought it was a warehouse for storing valuable food such as sea cucumbers and bear's paws." ”
Long Hu shook his head and smiled bitterly, pointing to another way, "Let's go, fourth sister-in-law, the warehouse is over there." ”
Huo Yanhua looked at Long Hu with a look of admiration and said, "Okay! I didn't expect you to be quite capable and still manage the cell? Are the two of them your servants? Master Long." ”
Because the two met for the first time, Longhu teased Huo Yanhua fiercely, and Huo Yanhua, in turn, relied on his good eloquence and extraordinary insight to devalue Longhu. Jiang Longhu cried angrily. Although the two reconciled later, Longhu always felt that he was not as good as the fourth sister-in-law, and felt very defeated and unconvinced.
At this time, after receiving Huo Yanhua's appreciation, she couldn't help but be a little angry, and said, "Of course, they are my subordinates." ”
"Oh?" Huo Yanhua hurriedly asked, "Then do they listen to you?"
Long Hu's eyes bulged, "Of course you are obedient!
Huo Yanhua shook her head slowly, "Well-I don't believe it, I'm going to try." She pointed to the two people and said to Long Hu: "Then you let the two of them go out and see if they are obedient." ”
Long Hu didn't think about it, and shouted directly at the two people: "You guys stand down!"
The two looked at each other and left the underground.
Huo Yanhua smiled lightly: "Okay! It's much more convenient to have this ability." As he spoke, he walked towards the door of the cell, saw that the door was locked, and stretched out his hand to ask for the key, "The key." ”
Long Hu didn't take out the key, and asked Huo Yanhua, "Fourth sister-in-law, what are you going to do?"
Huo Yanhua said: "I'm going to take a tour to see what it's like inside." ”
"However, this is a cell, and it cannot be opened casually. ”
"You don't have the key, do you?" and say you're the boss here!"
"Of course I have the key!" angrily threw the key in Huo Yanhua's hand.
Huo Yanhua opened the door and pushed the door in. Exhaled, and said to Long Hu behind him: "Xiao Longhu, to be honest, I have always treated you as a younger brother, and after a while, no matter what you see or hear, can you be regarded as not present?"
"Fourth sister-in-law, what are you going to do?" Longhu was inexplicably a little flustered, regretting that he shouldn't have brought Huo Yanhua here.
Huo Yanhua looked at the rows of cells, her eyes changed, and she said slowly: "See an old man." ”
The cells here are very regular, and there is a large cell on the left and right of the door as soon as you enter the door, which looks like a collective cell, and there is no one inside. Turn a corner from the right cell and go straight ahead, there is a row of normal-sized cells on the left and right, the same as the eyes, and at the end of the cell, the walls are covered with various torture instruments.
Huo Yanhua saw that there were two cells with prisoners, an unkempt man on the left, who was a little old, and a woman on the right, neither of whom she was looking for. Turning his head to look at Long Hu behind him, "What about the prisoner that your fourth brother brought back?"
Long Hu was a little uneasy and said, "Fourth sister-in-law, what are you looking for that person?"
Huo Yanhua said: "Tenth brother, don't ask so much. ”
Longhu refused to tell her, she found her own way and walked forward. Walk all the way to the end and find that there is something else ingenious about the cell. On the right side of the torture instrument, there is a large wooden barrel, and next to it are various wooden tools, shackles, etc. Turning his head to look at the other side of the torture instrument, Ye Weiyang was hanging from the horizontal pillar, still in a coma. Next to him, there was a special cell, which was covered with chaff.
Huo Yanhua glanced at Ye Weiyang, and rushed over in three or five steps. "Childe?"
Seeing that Ye Weiyang didn't move, Huo Yanhua reached out and pinched her person, and soon after, Ye Weiyang snorted and woke up.
Meeting an old friend in a foreign land, Ye Weiyang didn't feel surprised, but a little surprised, frowned, and said, "Why did you come here?" He was not happy to meet Huo Yanhua here and now, because he knew that Huo Yanhua must have come over secretly. Anyone who dared not walk in openly to meet him was an unreliable person to him. He also didn't want to have too much to do with him.
Huo Yanhua looked at the whip marks on Ye Weiyang's body, only felt frightened, gently brushed away the chaff on his head, and said, "Childe, you have suffered, I will come to see you." ”
Ye Weiyang tilted his head slightly, and said lightly: "It's just a prisoner, what's so good-looking, girl, please go back!" After speaking, she was slightly stunned, and seemed to realize that the title was inappropriate, the other party was already married to a wife, and it was time to call her Mrs.
Huo Yanhua didn't pay attention to Ye Weiyang's coldness, and reached out to untie the rope at his wrist, "Childe, I'll let you down." ”
Ye Weiyang blurted out: "No! don't hurt me!"
Huo Yanhua was stunned, "Hurt you?"
Ye Weiyang was not afraid of hurting Huo Yanhua's heart, and said bluntly: "You relieved me, but not to save me, but to find a better charge for others to whip me." How many whips do you think my body can withstand now?"
Huo Yanhua's face changed slightly, "Childe, I have no intention of harming you...... I just want to save you. ”
After Long Hu followed, he kept leaning on the cell behind Huo Yanhua and watching them. He watched Huo Yanhua's every move, and his heart became more and more uneasy. Although he was young, he had gradually understood something, and he could see that the fourth sister-in-law had some special relationship with this prisoner. He was uneasy because the fourth sister-in-law came alone. A woman who has become a woman sneaks to see a man, and it is a little unreasonable. He was afraid that Huo Yanhua would continue to make mistakes, so he coughed lightly and said, "Fourth sister-in-law, aren't we going to get sea cucumbers? ”
Huo Yanhua suddenly turned around, stared at Longhu, and said, "Tenth brother, I believe you have also seen and heard, will you tell your fourth brother?"
Long Hu's eyes widened and said, "Fourth sister-in-law, how dare I tell him, he will kill you!"
Huo Yanhua smiled lightly, "In that case, tenth brother, help the fourth sister-in-law and let him go." ”
Long Hu was shocked, shook his head and said, "No, I can't let him go." He was personally captured by the fourth brother, if I let him go, how can I explain it to the fourth brother?" he looked at Huo Yanhua with sincere eyes and persuaded: "Fourth sister-in-law, you better leave this matter alone." Today I'm going to treat you as if you've never been here, so let's go. ”
Huo Yanhua wanted to lobby again, but she heard Ye Weiyang behind her say slowly: "I'm not leaving." ”
These words surprised Huo Yanhua and Long Hu, and they asked together, "Why?"
Ye Weiyang said: "Not to mention whether this child has the right to let me go, even if he has this ability, I will not leave." If I don't deserve to die, someone will come to save me from it, and that person will never be you. ”
Huo Yanhua understood the meaning of Ye Weiyang's words, her heart sank, and she asked, "Why can't I?"
Ye Weiyang took a deep breath and said slowly: "I told you a long time ago, we are not all the way. Why are you wading through this troubled water?"
Huo Yanhua felt a little heartache, and asked in a trembling voice: "Just because I'm not from the rivers and lakes?"
Ye Weiyang said coldly: "I want to ask, what ability do you have to take me away? Just with your clever mouth and a fairly smart mind? How are you going to use your weak body to lead me through the layers of countless masters of the Rich Merchants Alliance?" Miss Huo ...... No, Mrs. Qiu, as a businessman, you should know how to judge the situation and take the overall situation into account better than me.
Huo Yanhua was stunned and said, "Childe, you are wrong. Although I am not a person in the rivers and lakes, I also know how to support each other, and I don't have the ability to take you away, just because I am not qualified to save you. Whether you save you or not is my business, whether you are willing to appreciate it is your business, you don't have to be so alienated from me. ”
Ye Weiyang relented and said, "Then, Mrs. Qiu, I will clearly tell you that I don't appreciate your kindness. The life or death of the night has nothing to do with you, please don't meddle in your affairs. ”
When Huo Yanhua heard this, her face gradually became dark, her eyelashes trembled slightly, she bit her lip lightly, and said in a low voice: "Childe must treat ......me like this?"
Ye Weiyang closed his eyes and interrupted Huo Yanhua: "I haven't forgotten, if you hadn't dragged me back, the old man's wealth would have been in my pocket." Even if you and I talk happily, they are limited to literary style, a weak woman is a weak woman, and she will never be able to achieve my Jianghu Dao. ”
His rivers and lakes, the road ahead is unknown, difficult and difficult, and the people who accompany him are all carefully selected by him. Like a worldly woman like Huo Yanhua, he would never look down on her. insisted on going her own way, and in the end it was just a matter of death, burdening the people she saved. The momentary vigor is not as simple as the simplicity of the first life, this woman is so smart, why can't she think about it?
Huo Yanhua's voice trembled a little, "So, Childe thinks that I am hindering your Jianghu Dao?" Seeing that Ye Weiyang was always closed, tilted her head sideways, and no longer spoke, she bit her lip and said, "I don't know what your Jianghu Dao looks like, if Childe thinks I'm a stumbling block, you can crush me." She paused, and then said, "I will get you out, and no matter what method you use, you will definitely leave here unscathed." Although I, Huo Yanhua, am a woman, I never give up easily, and I will never admit defeat easily, in this world, there is nothing I can't do. ”
After Huo Yanhua finished speaking, she turned around and left. Long Hu said behind her: "Fourth sister-in-law, do you still want sea cucumbers?"
Huo Yanhua's footsteps stopped for a moment, she didn't make a sound, and suddenly pulled out her legs and ran quickly, far away, the two people in the prison could still hear her sobbing slightly.
"Hey, boy, I'll give you a suggestion, you'd better send the sea cucumber to her house yourself. Ye Weiyang opened his eyes, looked at Longhu, and said slowly: "Using sea cucumber as an excuse to come to see me, if you go back empty-handed, it will arouse suspicion." ”
Long Hu stared at Ye Weiyang for a while, and asked, "Why did you say such ugly things to the fourth sister-in-law just now?"
Ye Weiyang squinted his eyes and squinted at him, and said coldly: "Do you want me to say something particularly nice to her, and then let her be moved into my arms and cuckold your fourth brother?"
Long Hu shook his head, suddenly blinked again, and asked seriously, "What is a green hat?"
Ye Weiyang glared at him, "Little brat, ask so much, I'll tell you when you have a wife." He paused and said seriously: "Listen, if you really want to help your fourth sister-in-law, don't let her come here in the future." ”
Long Hu looked at Ye Weiyang, and there was another layer of contradiction in his heart. He couldn't tell whether this person was a good person or a bad person. Thinking back to every sentence he just said, it seemed like a poisonous snake, but there was not a word that was not for the sake of others. For the first time in his mind, it was difficult for him to judge a person. He has always been good when he encounters good, and evil is evil, and in the face of Ye Weiyang, he doesn't know whether to be evil or good.
Seeing that Ye Weiyang seemed to be a little tired, but the light in his eyes never faded, his heart never died, even if he was reduced to a prisoner today and tortured, he still gritted his teeth, stood upright, and lived tenaciously. This may be his way of the rivers and lakes.
Long Hu couldn't help but step forward, put Ye Weiyang down, and led him into another empty cell covered with straw.
