Chapter 12: The Death of a Flower (2)

Tang Susu curled his mouth and said: "Even so, it shows that he doesn't have me in his heart." If he wants to go, let's go. ”

Tang Wuwei was patient and said: "You can't blame him for his affair with Li Jiaojiao, it was my hands and feet, and he has you in his heart." ”

Tang Susu glared at him: "Why are you doing this?"

Tang Wuwei laughed dryly a few times and said, "You women, you have long hair and short knowledge. In Jinju, without Li Jiaojiao's help, can we come back? Besides, you have discussed it with her, you don't mean that, why should I do it again?"

Tang Susu bowed his head and said: "The matter has come to this, it is even more shameless to keep him, and it is even more despised by those who are noble, how will I live in the future?"

Tang Wuwei nodded and said, "You have also realized some truth." The ancestors said well, the emperor will be the prime minister, how can there be a kind. Your status is not noble, if you don't fight for it, you will always be dwarf. ”

Tang Susu said: "If you are short, you will be short, and I will not beg him." ”

Tang Wuwei said angrily: "Tang Susu, what do you want, you make it clear, as long as you don't regret it, I'll let him go now." We will also rush back to Shuzhong tomorrow, and you won't want to go out again in the future. ”

Tang Susu saw that his brother was really angry, and looked aggrieved: "I just want to be angry with him, if he can come to accompany me, I will forgive him." ”

Tang Wuwei said indignantly: "He has already accompanied you, and now you have to accompany him." At this juncture, you are still playing the temper of the eldest lady. If you really want to keep him, go and talk to him tomorrow morning. ”

Tang Susu had tears in his eyes, nodded, and remained silent.

Chen Xingwen got up early and woke up Chen Xingwu.

Chen Xingwu lazily sighed and looked out the window, "It's not dawn yet, what's the hurry?"

Chen Xingwen pulled him: "It's all five watches, take advantage of the lack of people, let's go quickly." ”

Chen Xingwu rubbed his eyes: "Where are you going?"

Chen Xingwen said: "Let's go out first." I don't know if anyone opened the door, though. ”

Chen Xingwu got up with a bone: "It's not difficult, there is a door behind the back garden, and you are better at dealing with door locks than me." ”

Chen Xingwen thought for a while: "Don't say goodbye, I'm a little reluctant to go." Second Brother Tang and Su Su were too good to us. You can say goodbye to them, but I'm afraid I won't be able to leave. ”

Chen Xingwu said: "Don't mother-in-law, mother-in-law, I left you a word when I left, and if I don't leave, I will sleep again." ”

Chen Xingwen gritted his teeth: "Go." I'll leave them a note. ”

Chen Xingwu carried the burden on his back: "Then hurry up." ”

Chen Xingwen hurriedly wrote a text message and put it on the table, took up the burden, and walked out of the room lightly with Chen Xingwu.

The garden was quiet, and the housekeeper of the night watchman fell asleep on a stone bench. Chen Xingwu took out the prepared wire and unlocked it in the blink of an eye. The brothers disappeared into the morning mist.

Tang Wuwei had a heart in his mind and couldn't sleep well all night. I woke up and saw that the sky was bright. He wanted to urge his sister to keep Chen Xingwen, so he passed by Chen Xingwen's room first, and saw that the door opened a small crack, and he felt a little strange, so he pushed the door and entered.

There was no one in the room, the bedding was neatly folded, and when he saw a note on the table, he immediately took it in his hand and looked at it.

"Second Brother Tang and Su Su girl:

Thanks to the rescue, my brother was out of danger, and it was like rebuilding. I am deeply disturbed by the disturbance of being in your house for many days. I said goodbye this morning, not to bother, and I hope you will forgive me. Leave a reed, which can be used as a hidden weapon. Bo Li is not a respect, and he smiles and accepts it.

Xing text. ”

Tang Wuwei slapped his thigh, his face was depressed, he came to the gate and asked the janitor: "When did Gongzi Chen leave?

Jia Ding replied: "I haven't seen Chen Gongzi go out." Second master, you see, the door bars haven't been dismantled yet."

Tang Wuwei seemed to think of something, went to the backyard garden, saw that the lock had been opened, and understood everything. He called the guard and asked, "Don't you see anyone coming out of here?"

The guard on duty said timidly: "I took a nap before dawn." ”

Tang Wuwei said fiercely: "Wait for me to come back and clean you up!"

He ran to Tang Susu's room and banged the door. "Susu, hurry up, the Chen Xingwen brothers are already gone. ”

Tang Susu hurriedly opened the door. Her eyes were red and swollen, and she could tell that she had cried a lot last night. "Why didn't the janitor say that?" she asked.

Tang Wuwei said: "They stole it from the back door of the garden. ”

Tang Susu said: "There are also people guarding the backyard!"

Tang Wuwei said angrily: "Sleep dead!"

Tang Susu looked like he was completely dispossessed, and he shed tears.

Tang Wuwei's expression was solemn: "They are not familiar with Chang'an City, it is estimated that they will not be able to go far, so call someone to get up and go out to find it!" He didn't know that the brothers grew up in Chang'an City.

Not long after leaving Tang's house, the sky brightened.

When Chen Xingwen left Chang'an for Taiyuan, he was also twelve or thirteen years old. Although the path of Chang'an City is not as familiar as his brother's, he still vaguely remembers it.

Chen Xingwen looked around: "Isn't this the area around the City God Temple?"

Chen Xingwu passed by this place last night and was already familiar: "Exactly." One mile to the west, there is the Imperial City Temple. After what you said, I remembered one thing: we have an old house next to the City God Temple, and my father was in a hurry when he went to Taiyuan and didn't sell it, so how about we go there first?"

Chen Xingwen said happily: "I remember, I have lived there for two or three years, go and see, if the house is still there, settle there first." Jiaojiao still has two silver taels, you can buy some supplies, and let's talk about it later. ”

The two brothers walked briskly after a meal to the place they had said.

The old and dilapidated house was sandwiched between the tall neighbors, and the front yard, surrounded by earthen walls, had collapsed, and most of the tiles on the roof of the courtyard gate had fallen. However, the door was still locked, even though it was rusted.

Chen Xingwu pushed hard, and the door lock fell off with rotten wood chips. The two walked to the door of the house, Chen Xingwu wanted to concoct it according to the law, but was stopped by Chen Xingwen.

Chen Xingwen pointed to the door and said, "This door is okay, just find a wire to unlock it." ”

Chen Xingwu said: "This lock is all rusty, how can it be opened?"

Chen Xingwen put down the burden in his hand and found a stone, "It's okay to knock on the lock, it's better than you destroying the door." He knocked a few times, and the door finally opened.

When the two brothers entered the house, a musty smell came to their nostrils.

Chen Xingwu shouted: "How can people live here? Stars can fall in at night." ”

Chen Xingwen disagreed: "Buy some atractylodes herbs for fumigation, and then open the window for ventilation, and the musty smell will naturally disappear." If you have a broken tile, you can repair it yourself. Finally have a place to stay. ”

Chen Xingwu is a person who has snakes into his buttocks and multiple intestines. "I don't. ”

Chen Xingwen was accustomed to his temperament and didn't care about him: "I didn't ask you to do it." But you'll have to clean your own bed. If you don't want to clean your own bed, then you can sleep on the ground. ”

Chen Xingwu responded: "When did I want you to help me with my own affairs, didn't I do it?"

Chen Xingwen ignored him anymore, looked at the house, and thought about how to repair it.

Chen Xingwu felt bored and shouted: "Let's make do with it first, no one can stand living in this dilapidated house for a long time." ”

Tang Wuwei trotted all the way to the night of ecstasy. At this time, it is the time for people to sleep, and it is quiet inside and outside the door, and the doorkeeper sits on the stool and naps.

Tang Wuwei patted him: "Brother, wake up." ”

The man opened his eyes unhappily: "I said guest officer, you want to come later, the girls have just fallen asleep." Can't you hold it back?"

Tang Wuwei had a calm face: "Don't talk nonsense, I have to see Boss Luo!"

The man also lowered his face: "Boss Luo died early, who are you bluffing?"

Tang Wuwei realized that he was in a hurry and said the wrong thing, "It's the boss lady." As he spoke, he took out a piece of broken silver and handed it to the gatekeeper.

The gatekeeper took the silver and threw it away, "Do you know the temper of the proprietress ? ”

Tang Wuwei hurriedly said: "Hurry up and report, just say that the person surnamed Tang is looking for her." If I provoke you to be scolded, I will pay you fifty taels of silver. ”

The gatekeeper thought: Fifty taels of silver, even if it is worth being scolded, it is better to be scolded. "Okay, guest officer, you wait, I'll report. ”

The gatekeeper went up to the second floor. Tang Wuwei looked around, but no one stared at him.

After a while, the gatekeeper came down and said respectfully to Tang Wuwei: "Guest officer, the proprietress is in Tianzi No. 1, tell you to go by yourself." ”

Tang Wuwei hurriedly went upstairs.

The gatekeeper looked at his back with a look of amazement.

The door was hidden, and Tang Wuwei pushed the door in. Standing in the room was the masked woman. He closed the door and said, "We are alone, what are you doing with your face?"

The woman said, "Get used to it here, be careful to make the Ten Thousand Year Ship." What's the matter, you're in such a hurry?"

Tang Wuwei said: "The Chen brothers have left the Tang Mansion, and now I don't know where they went. ”

The woman said, "I was about to tell you." Chen Xingwu came here last night. How did you keep him guarded?"

Tang Wuwei exclaimed, "He ran out last night?"

The woman said again: "He also drinks with Yang Xihua, it seems that they are old acquaintances." ”

Tang Wuwei was stunned: "This, how is this possible?"

The woman said in a reproachful tone: "Didn't you hear Chen Xingwu's accent sandwiched with Chang'an's tune? ”

Tang Wuwei smiled awkwardly: "I just said that they were born and raised in Jinzhou, and I thought that he intended to play big, but I didn't inquire about their family background, and they didn't say anything." ”

The woman said, "In that case, how would they say. On the flip side, they are also wary of you. Why did they leave your house all of a sudden?"

Tang Wuwei lowered his head and said, "It's a long story...... so he told the matter again.

After hearing this, the woman thought for a while and said, "As long as they don't leave Chang'an, Chen Xingwu is very likely to come back to me." However, he most likely went to find Yang Xihua. Yang Xihua was involved with the third watchman again, and it was difficult to ensure that he would not reveal Chen Xingwu's whereabouts to Steward Jin, it seemed that Yang Xihua could not stay. ”

Tang Wuwei nodded: "I'll send someone to keep an eye on a few city gates, and you will deal with Yang Xihua." ”

After the golden housekeeper subdued Yang Xihua, the flower hand, he gave him an order: to find out which masters were around Tang Wuwei.

Yang Xihua knew that the three watches were powerful, so she naturally didn't dare to slack off, and worked very hard. After many years of flower picking career, he has practiced a set of effective skills to find out the news. Within a few days, the situation of the Tang family was almost touched by him.

Steward Jin was worried that his dealings with Yang Xihua would be discovered by Sima Junjie, so the extraneous branches would affect the overall situation, so he set the location of the joint at Xinglong Tea House, which was far away from Sima Mansion. On this day, the two met in a private room as guests drinking tea.

Dianhua didn't care about drinking tea, and reported his results first. "The one who saved Tang Susu in Xinglin was also the one who faced Jin Ye that night, it was Huang Meng, the boss of Kongtong Sanjie. ”

Steward Jin was really surprised: "It turned out to be him." I haven't seen him walking around the rivers and lakes for many years, and I thought he was dead a long time ago, and I couldn't imagine that he was a coachman in the Tang family, whether he was to avoid the enemy or to use it for the second Tang family?"

The dotter replied, "It's not clear yet. There is an even more powerful character, that is, the shopkeeper of the Tang Gate Chang'an Commercial Bank, Zheng Yi, who was famous in the rivers and lakes a few years ago. ”

Steward Jin gasped. "Yangzhou's moral judge Zheng Yi's name is much better than that of Kongtong Sanjie. He was also hidden in Chang'an and was used by Tang Wuwei. It seems that Tang Wuwei is indeed not simple. Oh, what about the two people who came from Jinju with Tang Wuwei?"

Dianhua took a sip of tea: "Those two people live in a simple place, and they can't inquire, in the Tang Mansion, unrelated people don't even know what their surnames are, they only know that the two look alike, and they are estimated to be two brothers." Fortunately, Chen Xingwu accepted the topic at that time and didn't make him associate it.

Steward Jin wanted to ask again, but there was a knock on the door. "Uncle, do you want to add some snacks?" The voice was gentle and pleasant, and it was a young woman who could be heard.

Yang Xihua suddenly became energetic, and replied angrily: "Add some, come in." ”

The door opened, and the woman walked in with a food box.

Yang Xihua's eyes stared at the woman: her face was like a goose egg, her eyes were bright, and she wore a silk pink dress as thin as cicada wings, revealing a close-fitting coat, revealing infinite style. Tell him to shake his heart.

The woman walked over to the table and opened the food box. "Uncle, please order. ”

Yang Xihua didn't look at what was in the food box, but leaned her head on the woman's chest and held her bee waist with one hand. "My son wants to order a girl, but do you have this snack?"

The woman threw him a flattering look: "Thanks to the son, he looks down on the little woman, and he will come when he arrives after tea to serve the child." ”

Yang Xihua's eyes widened: "A word is a certainty." My son has you covered today. ”

The woman made a note gently: "Thank you, Son." As he spoke, he put all the food in the food box on the table. "Son, old man use slowly, little woman don't bother first. Saying that, he broke free from Yang Xihua.

Yang Xihua was very reluctant, and the two pushed and hugged each other until Steward Jin coughed.

Dianhuashou had no choice but to say: "Good, good, what a beauty who seduces people's souls." Remember, wait for me. ”

"Definitely," the woman withdrew, closing the door.

Steward Jin said: "The tea house also has this kind of business?"

Yang Xihua's eyes flashed with lewd light: "Yes." If Jin Ye wants to, the little one will help you pick one. ”

Steward Jin waved his hand: "It's old and old, it's useless." Oh, continuing what I just said, it is very important to find out the identities of the two people who came with Tang Wuwei as soon as possible. ”

Yang Xihua said: "I heard that Jinzhou offered a high reward for silver not long ago and arrested two people, is it these two people?"

Steward Jin said: "There is such a thing, I want to determine whether it is these two people." ”

Yang Xihua thought for a moment: "But there is no portrait, how can you be sure?"

Steward Jin said, "I'll get the portrait." The first thing is to see the brothers, and other things can be put aside. It's a big deal to figure this out. ”

Yang Xihua nodded.

After drinking a few cups of tea, Steward Jin said, "Okay, I'll go first." It's been a long time since I've been away from home, so the young master is suspicious, but it's troublesome. Remember, don't overdo it and get down to business. ”

Yang Xihua said: "Jin Ye rest assured, the little one understands." ”

As soon as Steward Jin left, the woman slipped in with a smile on her face.

Yang Xihua hugged her like a hungry tiger and kissed her in the face. "Beauty, you want to mess with me. ”

The woman struggled to pull out a hand, went around his back, and tapped it a few times. Yang Xihua suddenly lowered her hands and couldn't move.

The woman smiled and said, "I said Yang Gongzi, don't worry." Answer a few questions from the slave family well, and the slave family will make you want to be immortal. ”

Yang Xihua was pointed at the acupoint, and regretted: "I didn't expect the girl to be a master, Yang Xihua admitted it." Just ask. ”

The woman still smiled sweetly: "Then which housekeeper is Master Jin?"

Yang Xihua hesitated for a moment, but thought that if she didn't answer now, she wouldn't be able to escape, "From Sima Mansion in Dongcheng." ”

The woman asked, "What did he tell you to do recently?"

Yang Xihua hummed a few times, but did not answer, he was secretly using his skills, and wanted to break through the acupoints.

The woman smiled lightly: "Don't bother, no one has been able to unlock the acupoints of the slave family yet." Not to mention a general trick, even today's top masters are difficult to do. ”

Yang Xihua looked suspicious: "The girl is?"

The woman's face sank: "I asked you, Hugh has to hide and deceive! Otherwise, the slave family will make you a eunuch! That's not for you to order flowers, but to spend on you." As he spoke, he pulled out a shiny blade from the sole of his shoe.
