Chen Xingwen was so angry that he didn't want to talk to him and continued to do his own thing.

Suddenly, there was a "horn", and a cloth bag flew outside the window.

Chen Xingwen immediately ran out of the door to look, but there was no one in sight. He turned back to the house and picked up the cloth bag.

Chen Xingwu was still sitting: "It must be a prank made by some child who bullied us." ”

Chen Xingwen felt that the cloth bag was heavy, and when he opened it, he saw that it contained several silver ingots weighing fifty taels and a note. He opened the note and read: Xingwen, there are still people chasing you, try not to go out. There is a fate to retell.

There is also a row of red letters below: Chen Xingwu, the silver belongs to your brother, not your share. The word seems to be added improvised with something like lipstick.

Seeing so much silver, Chen Xingwu hurriedly jumped up and wanted to grab it: "This must be my friend who helped me, not your share." ”

Chen Xingwen moved his hand holding the silver to the side and handed him the note in his other hand, "Look for yourself." ”

Chen Xingwu took the note and looked at it, and said indignantly: "Who is so lacking in virtue!

Chen Xingwen no longer paid attention to him and pondered by himself.

Chen Xingwu ran outside the house to take a look, and came back and said, "It doesn't matter who he is, if you have the silver, you won't worry about eating." ”

Chen Xingwen muttered: "Who could it be? It is estimated that it is Second Brother Tang, and the person who can send the money is obviously a woman." ”

Chen Xingwu asked, "Why do you see a woman?"

Chen Xingwen said: "She must have been listening to us outside the window, and she temporarily added the latter sentence, which can be seen to be written with a woman's lipstick." ”

Chen Xingwu said: "It's a good thing to think about who she is, and it's a good thing to have money." ”

Chen Xingwen said: "The love owed to others must be repaid." Oh, give me the delicate golden hairpin, and I'll give you fifty taels of silver. ”

Chen Xingwu glared: "Now it's going to be a hundred taels." ”

Chen Xingwen thought: Giving him the silver is tantamount to beating a cucumber and beating a dog, there is no return, and he will not be able to live in the future, so he said: "If you don't change fifty taels, forget it." I have this money, and I can find a place to live on my own, and I won't mix with you. ”

Chen Xingwu had no choice but to agree.

Steward Jin firmly believes that Yang Xihua did not die of a violent illness, but must have been manipulated. It happened that Zhou Xingyun, who was bloodless in the sword, arrived in Chang'an, so he went to the mass grave with him to check Yang Xihua's body.

Although the body was not buried, it did not last long and remained intact. The two of them examined it carefully, but they didn't find any fatal injuries, and they couldn't even find the traces of being hit by a small hidden weapon. It's just that the two fingers are broken, apparently bitten by the rat after death.

Steward Jin didn't see anything wrong: "It does look like he died of a violent illness." But it's such a coincidence, what does Brother Zhou think?"

Jian Wuxue nodded: "If you are poisoned to death, the corpse will be black and have a special smell." His complexion didn't change that way, and he couldn't smell anything, so it was unreasonable to say that he was poisoned. ”

Steward Jin pondered for a moment and then said, "Is there any poison we haven't seen?"

Jian Wuxue also fell into deep thought, and said for a long time: "Tang Sect is a master of using poison. But as far as I know, their deadly poison can be reflected in the corpses, and I have never seen any poison they use. As he spoke, he looked at the corpse again. "Oh, by the way, his mutilated fingers look like they've been bitten by rats since then. If he dies of poisoning, maybe the rat that gnawed his finger will also die of poisoning. ”

Butler Jin gave a thumbs up: "Brother Zhou." ”

After speaking, the two looked around and searched carefully.

After a while, Jian Wuxue really found a dead mouse. "Found it, it looks like it's just dead, and it's unscathed. ”

Butler Kim: "I found one too." ”

Jian Wuxue's face was solemn: "In this way, the little flower hand was undoubtedly poisoned, and this poison was so clever: he suddenly fell to the ground without symptoms." Who is more clever than Tang Sect in poisoning? This is a formidable opponent!"

Steward Jin pondered for a while and muttered, "Could it be that woman? No, a young woman in the dust, where did she come from such a method?"

Jian Wuxue asked, "Did you say the maid in the tea house?"

Steward Jin nodded: "Yang Xihua has many enemies, she is cautious, she will not eat other people's things, only that woman has a chance to start." Yes, it had to be her. It's good that I'm gone, otherwise I'd be lying here now. ”

Jian Wuxue shook his head: "That's because she doesn't want to harm you, if you want, how can you escape?"

Steward Jin's eyes slipped a few times: "So, Yang Xihua's death has nothing to do with me, and I haven't exposed the relationship between the three watchmen." The poisoner is only the enemy of the trick. ”

Jian Wuxue stood up: "It's useless to think too much, wouldn't it be clear if you find that woman?"

Steward Jin also stood up: "Well, according to Brother Zhou, look for her." ”

Soon the two came to Xinglong Tea House and looked for the shopkeeper first. The shopkeeper recalled for a while, and brought the waitress who had been waiting in the box yesterday.

Steward Jin denied: "It's not her!"

The shopkeeper affirmed: "She was the one who waited in the wing room yesterday." ”

Jian Wuxue's face sank, and he said sharply to the maid: "What's the matter, you say!"

The waitress trembled with fright, and stammered, "During this period, a woman, a woman, proposed to replace me." She said that she came from Piao and Piaoxiang Pavilion, and was an acquaintance of the two masters, and the shopkeeper specially invited her to serve the two and two masters. She gave me a piece of silver, and I gave her my hand and the work of my hand. I'm not a-I really don't know. ”

The shopkeeper said, "I have not seen that woman, she must be the one who is plotting." ”

Steward Jin and Jian Wuxue couldn't ask anything when they saw it, so they had to give up.

Chen Xingwu has money in his pocket, he must not be idle. He wanted to go for a night of ecstasy, and he was worried about touching the woman. Judging from the look in her eyes and the strength she used to catch herself, she probably didn't have much of a good impression of herself. Anyway, there are many spring buildings in Chang'an City Gambling Room, not only one family at night, but also happy elsewhere.

He wanted to bring a short gun, but the gun had been hidden by his younger brother, and his younger brother was basically at home, and he went out to buy some food, and he soon returned home, and he didn't have a chance to look for it carefully.

The last time I went to the gambling house gave him a lesson. Before going to the gambling house this time, he bought a new set of satin clothes and a folding fan, and dressed himself up like a dog. Fan yourself while walking and feel good about yourself.

This time, no one stopped him, and he entered the gambling house without any problems. It was relatively light inside, there were not many people, and he couldn't find an opponent for a while, so he pressed the size with everyone.

The dealer is the owner of the gambling house, and many of the people who participate in the gambling are matchmakers, plus the thousands of tricks, and after a while, Chen Xingwu's fifty taels of silver will be lost.

Chen Xingwu was unwilling, and pressed the clothes he had just bought as two taels of silver, but he still lost.

At that time, fifty taels of silver was not a small amount, enough for his brothers to live well for a year. There are also people who throw thousands of taels or 10,000 taels a day, but there are very few. Chen Xingwu made a wide shot, and he was already being stared at. Judging from the outfit after he took off his new clothes, it is not difficult to see that the source of his silver is unknown. The gang of black-eating characters in the gambling house naturally won't let go of the opportunity, and they have to knock him well.

Chen Xingwu walked out of the gambling house in frustration, went around the door of a spring building next to him, and watched the girls soliciting customers. He swallowed, regretting that he had not left a few taels of silver.

I had to go back first, take a chance, steal my brother's silver and come back, Chen Xingwu thought as he walked, and he didn't notice that someone was following him at all.

Chen Xingwen was reading a book under the lamp, and when he saw his brother coming back, he asked, "Where have you been?" ”

Chen Xingwu disagreed: "Who knows us if the black light is blind." I'm going crazy at home. ”

Chen Xingwen asked again: "Are you going to the gambling house again?" Let me tell you, gambling is not touched, and all the family fortunes will be lost. Where's your fifty taels of silver?

Chen Xingwu refused to admit it: "I didn't go to the gambling house, I just went for a walk, stayed at home all day, you don't feel bored, I can't stand it." Okay, I'm asleep. ”

Chen Xingwen was helpless, and after reading the book for a while, he also went to bed and turned off the lights and went to sleep.

I don't know how long it took, but the knock on the door woke the two brothers up.

"Who?" asked Chen Xingwen.

"Catch the house and open the door!" replied the man outside the door.

Chen Xingwen lit the lamp and went to open the door.

Two people dressed up came in, looked around the house, and the older one asked, "You just came to live here, right?"

Chen Xingwen replied: "Yes, it's only a few days. ”

The man asked, "Did you rent or borrow this house?"

Chen Xingwu said: "We neither rent nor borrow, we are our own." ”

The man said, "Take a look at the title deed!"

The two brothers glanced at each other, and Chen Xingwu said: "The title deed is not in my hand, I don't know where my father put it." ”

The younger one said: "If you can't get the title deed, you can't say that the house is yours." It seems that you don't want to tell the truth. Say, "Where do you come from?"

Chen Xingwen arrived first: "Taiyuan." ”

The young man asked again: "Taiyuan, is there a house in Chang'an so far away? Let's go, go to the fishing room, and make it clear. ”

Chen Xingwen said: "Why do you say that we are spies, and why do you want us to go to the house?"

The elder said, "It's okay if you don't go, tell me what you do for a living." ”

Chen Xingwen said: "I have only been here for a few days, and I haven't found anything suitable to do. ”

The elder walked up to Chen Xingwu: "Look at you like this, you don't look like rich people." Say, "Where does your money come from?"

Chen Xingwu was stunned for a moment, but in a moment he understood the other party's intention: They were here to blackmail! "Where do you care where my money comes from? He replied.

The two of them looked at each other and thought: I have met a veteran. The elder immediately pulled out his waist knife and put it across Chen Xingwu's neck: "Hand over your silver!"

Chen Xingwen didn't quite understand this sudden change, and said, "Can you be able to bully people at will?"

Chen Xingwu said: "They are not tolerances, impostors." ”

The young man said: "It doesn't matter if it's a tolerance or not, you bring silver, otherwise you look good." ”

Chen Xingwu is not afraid, because he still has a backhand. "I've been doing your business for more than ten years, I don't believe you go and ask Brother Yang Xihua Yang. He moved out Yang Xihua to press them.

The older put down the knife.

Chen Xingwu was smug in his heart.

The young man said: "Speaking of Yang Xihua, I wanted to give you a face, but it happened that he died two days ago, and no one supported you anymore." It seems that you are really not a good product, bring the silver!"

The older one put the knife on Chen Xingwu's neck again.

Chen Xingwu panicked at this time: "What, Brother Yang is dead? I saw him a few days ago. ”

The young man added: "Dead, dead from the sun." The boundaries of Chang'an are now my two brothers. Acquaintances, hand over the silver quickly, and it will cover you later. ”

Chen Xingwu said: "I have no silver! I just bought all the clothes, where can I get the silver?"

The elder said: "If you don't have any money, don't mix around Chang'an Street." Where did you come from, and where do you go back? Get out of here!" and pushed the brothers out.

Chen Xingwu said: "Xingwen, where are the guns, let them taste it!"

Chen Xingwen said angrily: "What kind of gun, if you want to go, just leave, who told you to go out and make trouble." ”

The older man stopped and asked, "What are you talking about?" Hand it over quickly, otherwise you will look good!" said and punched Chen Xingwen violently.

Chen Xingwen almost fell.

Chen Xingwu didn't dare to move, the other two had knives in their hands, he was afraid of death.

The other party wanted a gun, it was Chen Xingwen's life, he couldn't care about it, and after standing firm, he pounced on the person who beat him.

When the older man saw him coming at him, he raised his sword and smote him.

With a "dang" sound, the knife was separated by a sword, and then the older one was knocked to the ground.

Suddenly a person appeared, and the young man was startled, and he didn't know what to do, when someone snatched the knife in his hand. The man took advantage of the situation, and he also fell to the ground.

"Xiaoqing!" the brothers called out in unison.

The two knew that they were not Xiaoqing's opponents, so they got up, didn't be verbose, and ran away.

Chen Xingwen said: "Thank you Xiaoqing girl for your help. How did you know we lived here?"

Xiao Qingbai glanced at him: "You go out, I have something to say to you." As he spoke, he pulled Chen Xingwen out.

When he got outside, Xiaoqing reproached: "You said to leave, it hurt Miss to break her heart." ”

Chen Xingwen lowered his head: "I'm sorry for her." Don't talk about it, it's all in the past. Please go back and tell Miss Tang that she is good to me, and I will remember it for the rest of my life. Oh, by the way, you got the silver, right? Thank you very much. But we can get by, so you might as well take it back. ”

Xiaoqing said angrily: "Why don't you understand Miss's heart?"

Chen Xingwen said: "I understand, that's why I left the Tang family." ”

Xiaoqing glared at him: "You don't understand! Do you think Miss is because of Sister Jiaojiao's incident?"

Chen Xingwen patted his forehead with the back of his hand: "What's the matter?"

Xiaoqing said angrily: "That's why I said you don't understand." She took advantage of Sister Jiaojiao's matter to delay the marriage date, let you take the initiative, and wait a few days to talk about it. Do you understand the reason for this?"

Chen Xingwen didn't understand what he meant by taking the initiative, and asked: "How to take the initiative? I took the initiative to admit my mistake to her." ”

Xiaoqing kicked his feet: "It's not that kind of initiative, it's ...... Don't talk about it, think for yourself. ”

Chen Xingwen asked again: "Is that because I misunderstood her?"

Xiaoqing raised her voice: "The misunderstanding is big! I'm still a reader, so I don't understand what I said." She wants you to owe less love to the Tang family, so that you won't be embarrassed in the future, understand?"

Chen Xingwen patted his forehead again, as if he understood or not. "That's my fault for her. ”

Xiaoqing said again: "Miss knows that you are leaving, so she told me to keep an eye on you in advance." She originally intended to let you stay outside for a while, but your brother Chen Xingwu's virtue will reveal your whereabouts sooner or later. The two gangsters just now will definitely not give up, and will come to find trouble. It doesn't matter if you deal with them, but if you attract people from the martial arts or people from King Liang, things will not be easy to do. ”

Chen Xingwen thought to himself: Xiaoqing's words are all reasonable. But he couldn't think of a solution for a while, so he had to remain silent.

Xiaoqing continued: "There are two ways, one is that you leave your brother and find a place to live alone, and the other is ......."

Without waiting for Xiaoqing to finish speaking, Chen Xingwen shook his head: "This can't be done." ”

"Second, you go back to the Tang family to live!" Xiaoqing added.

Chen Xingwen shook his head again: "This can't be done." I owe too much to the Tang family, and I really can't pay it back if I go again. ”

Xiaoqing kicked his feet: "Then I can't help it." You're living here, and sooner or later something is going to happen!"

Chen Xingwen thought for a while: "Let's leave Chang'an and go to the countryside to live." ”

Xiaoqing snorted with his nose: "If you want your brother to be willing." ”

Chen Xingwu stayed in the house for a while, and before he saw Chen Xingwen come in, he left the house and came to them. Hearing my brother say this, he said, "I won't go to those ghost places." Even if I die on the streets of Chang'an, I won't go to the countryside. ”

Xiaoqing was so anxious that she kicked her feet again: "Don't talk about it, just say tonight, if you live here again, there will definitely be trouble." ”

Chen Xingwu puffed up his chest: "What are you afraid of! Xingwen, take out the gun and see who dares to bully you again!"
