Chapter 43: Another Conspiracy
Po Sa Island.
It is a transit island on the edge of the water and sky. Due to the connection of the four lakes and convenient transportation, Bosa Island has naturally become a commercial island.
The island is not big, but it is also a necessary place to travel around. The population has a lot of trade, and commerce naturally flourishes. The lover of the female ghost in red is surnamed Hu, and he is a famous family on this island.
It has something to do with the official family, and it can be regarded as an all-inclusive affair between officials and businessmen, and it can really be said that this side is in charge.
With the little scholar, the two made two trips to the boat. When I arrived at Posa Island, I was a little surprised. Looking around, I didn't see half of the Hu family's mansion.
It stands to reason that such a prominent family should be prosperous and famous. But when the two went to the island to inquire, they ran into walls everywhere, looking for some rich mansions, but they found nothing.
Just when the two thought they were being played by the female ghost in red, they finally learned from the mouth of an old housekeeper from a rich family.
The Hu family is indeed a famous family on this island, but unfortunately it suddenly went bankrupt more than ten years ago, and his son was hijacked by bandits on the day of his wedding, and he asked for 10,000 taels of gold when he came back.
The son took the silver ticket from the treasury that night, but on the way to redeem the man, he was blown by the wind and waves, and drowned in the water and sky.
The head of the Hu family also lost his heart and became a crazy old man because of the violent death of his only son, talking nonsense on this island all day long, and his family was ruined, but it was miserable.
Speaking of the young master of the Hu family, this old housekeeper who is a little emotional is mostly admired, and he will be a student of the blue sea and clouds. It's a pity that the sky is like the sun, but he is dead on the lake, and there are no bones.
The two asked carefully, and the old housekeeper looked in a trance, and then admitted that he was once a subordinate of the Hu family, and he was still dedicated to the Hu family, who had always been generous.
Maybe seeing that the two of them asked too much, the old housekeeper couldn't help but say a few more words. Immediately, the door was closed, and the abrupt send-off made the two of them a little confused.
Out of the door, the two followed the address said by the old housekeeper. It can be regarded as finding the mass grave where the crazy old beggar was buried after his death.
It's okay, there's a tombstone. Next to it, isn't it a piece of the corpseless grave of the young master of the Hu family. If there is no monument, it is also a big regret in the world.
The female ghost in red appeared, crying sadly. Most of the resentment has been dispersed, but it has never completely dissipated, and the word "degree" has disappeared.
It was getting late, and the two went back to Posa City. I wanted to find the old housekeeper again, but the house never opened the door.
In doubt, the two of them were still at peace and found an inn.
The night was dark and windy, and the cold wind whipped against the wooden windows. Sneaking in, a figure entered. The lights in the room suddenly turned on, and the eyes of the single and double eyes had already fallen on the figures.
The young Taoist priest was on the side, and both of them looked surprised, but they didn't feel strange. The one who entered the house was not the old housekeeper in the rich family.
Seeing the two of them, the old housekeeper immediately knelt on the ground, and a strange injustice made Ma Caiyun look indignant.
I secretly said in my heart, sure enough!
The sudden death of the Hu family, no matter how you look at it, is not just luck. The family of the female ghost in red suffered at the same time, and it is even more unreasonable.
Two families with a lot of money, no matter how much they suffer, they should not end up like this.
The old housekeeper told the two of them one by one, which was a conspiracy.
The Hu family's officials and businessmen eat it all, which makes people red-eyed after all. This water and sky are the same, where is there that wind and waves, but those red-eyed people deliberately set up a situation and became the young master of the Hu family, so there are no bones. The old man of the Hu family was also victimized, so he lost his heart and went crazy.
A mansion was swallowed up, and where could the servants and servants maintain it? In just half a year, it was torn apart, and several loyal subordinates who had won the favor of the Hu family also died one after another.
The two of them looked gloomy when they heard it, and they both sighed, it turned out that this water and sky were the same, and there was also that conspiracy.
The main family of the plot is not the Wen and Wang families who are now in full swing on Bosa Island. A chief official and a chief businessman are also properly distributed.
After speaking, he knelt down again, saying that he had left some evidence back then, and wanted to beg the two of them to take them to the main city and hand them over to the yamen, so that they could also give the Hu family a dignified way.
Ma Caiyun is the right way of Taoism, and there is no reason to refuse. The two of them left the inn and followed the old butler to the ruined temple in the south where he hid the evidence.
Not long after leaving the city gate, Shan Shuang suddenly made a move, punching the old butler like a dragon, knocking the old butler away. The fist fight rose again, the fist style was displayed, and it entered the forest, pulling the Taoist chief and flashing to the side.
Flush!
The fierce sound of breaking the air made people's scalps tingle, and the sharp iron spears were cold and terrifying.
The black-clothed people moved like rabbits, instantly surrounding the two of them. The old housekeeper's face was blue, and the blood flowing from the corners of his mouth showed that Shan Shuang's fist was not light.
The old butler's eyes were gloomy, he showed his cunning teeth and smiled indifferently, and said, "Where did I show my flaws?"
Shan Shuang shook his head, "There are flaws everywhere, since the proud descendants of the Hu family have all died in the Hu family, how can they leave you? It's not that you don't have a deep design, it's just because I'm from Youzhou." ”
Some things are not normal if they are too normal. What Jianghu taught him was far from being as simple as the word Jianghu.
He still knows a little about these pitfalls. The bearded man is deeply studied, and many things he talks about in detail make his scalp tingle when he thinks about it.
The iron spears in the forest, according to the beard, are some things that do not enter the stream. said that it is a hidden weapon, in the eyes of a real hidden weapon master, it is the gap between a work of art and a piece of shit.
With a bronze sword on his back, it seemed a little ridiculous for ordinary people to hide beside him.
What's more, these people are not really immobile in the forest. Perhaps, these two young people are not really eyed.
The only pity for single and double is that I started a little lighter, and I couldn't really solve the old housekeeper in the first time.
Judging from the fluctuation of the vitality exuded by the old housekeeper, this person is from the mountain, and it is a hidden danger to stay.
After all, Shan Shuang failed to adapt to the rivers and lakes, or rather, did not recognize the rivers and lakes.
When I do things, I always leave a line. It's a pity that the heart is not in the rivers and lakes, and the people in the rivers and lakes have bad luck, so they will suffer more crimes.
Ma Caiyun is still in a daze, and a moment ago, the three of them seemed to be all the way. At this time, it was already the point of drawing the sword.
Singles and doubles also know that this horse is afraid that he has just come down the mountain. Although he is an orthodox Taoist priest in Longhu Mountain, he can actually look the same as the single and double who has just come out of the dragon ditch on the mountain.
Cultivation is up, but I don't know the gap. But with this experience in the rivers and lakes, Ma Caiyun is still short of a few pots of soju.
Thinking about it, Shan Shuang took out the wine gourd in his arms again, took a sip gently, and didn't dare to drink more, for fear that he wouldn't be able to stand the strength of the wine.
I have seen a lot of things in the rivers and lakes, but in fact, in addition to sorrow, the word sad is a little less. It's just that I panicked, and I couldn't stand the cranky thoughts in my heart.
Ma Caiyun held the peachwood sword, and no matter how he went through the world, he knew that he was plotted at this moment. The sword with the handle facing himself revealed a burst of killing power!
The old housekeeper wiped the corners of his mouth and said coldly, "No wonder, no one has asked about this matter for more than ten years, it can be regarded as stable, who let you go to a dead end?"
Shan Shuang smiled indifferently, it seemed that all murderers had a reason to kill, no matter how ridiculous it was, it was always a reason to convince him, "So you deliberately told us the cause and effect, so that we don't have to ask around? ”
The old butler's sneer restrained a little, "Young man, it's not necessarily a good thing to be too smart. ”
Shan Shuang continued, "Let me guess. Since you know so much about the cause and effect of that year, you can tell us exactly what you wanted. Come to think of it, you were indeed from Hufu back then, but you shouldn't be the loyal person, but the rebellious person?"
The old butler's face stiffened a little, and he didn't say a word, if his eyes could kill, maybe Shan Shuang was already under Jiuquan.
Shan Shuang said to himself, "It stands to reason that you are also a hero of the Wang and Wen families, but now, you don't work in the master's house, thinking about it, the result of the rebellion is not a good thing for you." ”
The old butler smiled instead, "Since you can guess this, you should understand even more that I am determined to kill you." ”
Nodding their heads in both hands, it's just a matter of life and death, and it's no wonder that the old housekeeper knows everything about the two of them, in order to save his own life.
The strength of the Wang and Wen families has to be re-measured. It is naturally not weak to make a mountain person so jealous.
The words stop here, and all that is left is killing intent.
A battle with cannon fodder is destined to be sad, although Ma Caiyun is not experienced in the world, but the strength is there.
As soon as he made a move, the old butler's face changed and blurted out, "Creation Realm!"
Ma Caiyun alone overwhelmed the old housekeeper, it seemed to be a battle between the two, but it was always a man in black who fell!
