Chapter Eighty-Eight: First Sight of Xiaoling
"Ho-ho-ho-ho!" the cold voice actually laughed, and said as gently as possible, "Don't be afraid, those are dead people, and they won't hurt you." Come here, I've got something for you. Miss Tang!"
"Huh?" Tang Zixi couldn't help but be stunned, and asked involuntarily, "How do you know my name?"
The cold voice said again: "It was a little friend who told me, and he also told me that only you can overturn the case for the Wu family's children." That kid died unjustly! Hey, if he hadn't been kind enough to stand up for others, how could he have gotten into a life lawsuit and took his life in vain. In this world, kindness is not necessarily rewarded!"
Listening to the other party's narration, Tang Zixi gradually became less afraid, and asked curiously: "What kind of lawsuit did he get into?" Shopkeeper Wu didn't tell me in detail, just told me to come here to find you, and naturally everything was known. ”
"Lao Wu didn't elaborate, but he didn't dare to elaborate. The cold voice sighed, "His every move is being monitored, and he doesn't dare to go beyond the slightest." Those people's hearts are poisoned. That girl of the Wu family is a living example!"
"Being watched?" Tang Zixi was stunned when he heard this, and said a little suspiciously, "I didn't find anyone watching." ”
"Hehe!" the cold voice didn't answer, but instead changed the conversation and asked, "Didn't you notice that you were being followed all the way?"
"What?" Tang Zixi exclaimed and jumped up from the ground, "You said those people on the roof came with us?"
The cold voice said "um", and then said, "I knew about it not long after you entered the dark forest, and I wanted to remind you. But I don't know if you're friend or foe, and I want to see who they really are. ”
"You can know so far away?" Tang Zixi opened his mouth in surprise, then thought of something, glanced around, and said with a wary face, "Didn't you say that you knew who the real murderer was?" After speaking, he quietly took a step back and approached the door.
The cold voice didn't seem to notice her small movements, and said faintly: "Originally, it was just a suspicion, but now I can almost be sure!"
Tang Zixi carefully stepped his right foot out of the threshold, and asked quietly, "Who is it?"
"Ten Princes......"
"What?"
Tang Zixi's foot retracted, turned around to look at the coffin where the white-haired old man was, and retorted categorically: "Impossible! The Ten Princes are open-minded and even more generous to others. And this case is an old case three years ago, as far as I know, at that time, the tenth prince was in the capital, and he had no time at all, and it was impossible for him to do such a thing. ”
The cold voice was silent for a long time before he spoke up again: "Do you mean that the old man is deliberately framing him? But it is an ironclad fact that he connived with his servants and shielded the murderer. This is all what the old man has seen with his own eyes, hmph, doesn't Miss Tang feel that the old man's status is humble, and he is not as powerful as the Ten Princes, so even the old man's words are not worth believing?
Tang Zixi was a little stunned, not knowing what he said wrong.
She's just stating a fact. What's more, the character and heart of the Ten Princes have been praised by today's saints.
However, since the other party asked her to return, she didn't want to be hypocritical. This old man is weird, and this place is also weird, and she doesn't want to stay for a long time.
Tang Zixi glanced at it and found that the hand had also retracted, she snorted in her heart, and stepped out of the door with her legs raised. As she walked down the steps, a voice like a silver bell came from the darkness ahead: "The old man who pretends to be a ghost is so annoying!"
"Xiaoling, don't talk nonsense!" a gentle voice sounded.
Then, four people came in the darkness, a man in a moon-white robe, a short and fat man, a teenager, and a little girl with bright eyes and bright teeth.
It was Lin Qi and his party who came.
The little girl named Luo Xiaoling, when she saw Tang Zixi on the steps, her eyes lit up, and she winked at Tang Zixi, who was also looking at her, and said with a smile: "Sister, you are so beautiful!"
Tang Zixi was silently looking at a few people, but he didn't expect the little girl to pop out such a sentence, he was a little caught off guard for a while, secretly glanced at a few people opposite, and coughed lightly: "Little sister, you are also very good-looking!"
Luo Xiaoling shook off Lin Qi's hand, ran up the steps with a slump, grabbed Tang Zixi's hand, and said happily: "Sister, I like you!"
The boy followed her and stood silently in the doorway. He was standing in an extremely clever position, just intentionally or unintentionally blocking the door, and also blocking possible abnormal movements inside the door, so that the two people standing at the edge of the steps were in a relatively safe environment. And his slightly arched right foot, as well as the flying knife in his hand, also seemed to warn others not to act rashly.
Seeing this scene, Lin Qi couldn't help but nod slightly.
Tang Zixi didn't seem to notice the young man's actions, but he was shaken by Luo Xiaoling's hand, hesitated for a moment, and couldn't bear to shake it off, but he was also a little embarrassed by this straightforward little girl, and said with a red face: "I like you too, little sister!"
Luo Xiaoling didn't notice Tang Zixi's embarrassment at all, and said happily: "My name is Luo Xiaoling, you can call me Xiaoling." Sister, what's your name?"
Tang Zixi said in a low voice: "My name is Tang Zixi!"
"Sister Tang!" Luo Xiaoling immediately changed her words, looked around, and asked, "Why are you here alone at such a late hour?" As he spoke, he also looked inside the door and snorted in disgust, "It's dirty and smelly inside, I still don't want to go in." Jiu'er, you go in and get him out! Sister, let's go, I'll take you to see something fun. After speaking, he picked up Tang Zixi and left.
"This ......"
Tang Zixi was grabbed by a tender little hand, and a strange feeling suddenly rose in his heart.
As the youngest in the family, she has been longing for a younger sister to play with her since she was a child. Now a fairy-like villain suddenly appeared, a 'sister', and her heart was about to melt.
She was dazed and about to follow forward, but fortunately, Ni Pengfei's figure shook in her mind, she quickly stopped, gently pulled out her hand and said, "I'm going to find Brother Pengfei, I can't accompany you." ”
Luo Xiaoling turned her head, flashed her big eyes, and said aggrievedly: "Sister Tang, you don't want to play with me?"
Tang Zixi hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no! It's just that Brother Pengfei's life and death are uncertain now, and I'm worried!"
Luo Xiaoling smiled when she heard this, and said nonchalantly: "Don't worry, he will be back soon." ”
"How do you know?" Tang Zixi looked at her suspiciously, "Have you seen Brother Pengfei?"
Luo Xiaoling's chin raised towards Lin Qi, and said, "What Uncle Lin said, within ten moves, the man in black will be defeated!" After speaking, he raised his hand and pointed, and shouted, "Don't believe you!"
