Chapter 21 The world is upside down
Early morning foggy, wet and cold.
Dong Ping and Lin Sanchuan were in a small stall, drinking hot tea and eating steamed buns.
"Childe, did you just let Miss Leng go?" Lin Sanchuan broke open a bun, and after eating the meat filling in it first, he said while tearing the skin of the bun.
Dong Ping rubbed the tea bowl with both hands, yawned, and said casually: "People want to see their father, do I have a reason not to let go?"
Lin Sanchuan nodded, thinking that this was also the case, but he suddenly felt that it was inappropriate, Dong Ping gave the Leng family's Huanghua eldest daughter and the Pu family's daughter-in-law who had not passed the door, "Son, the Leng girl won't be unable to come out, right?"
"Possibly. ”
"Dong Yong and the Seven Fairies, Childe, then Dong Yong and you are also from our own family. Then you say, will your old man be as virtuous as the old emperor?"
"You're a fart. After Dong Ping muttered in a low voice, he stood up and said, "After settling the account, let's go." ”
"Where?"
Dong Ping said with a smile: "Naturally, I went to Pufu to meet my father-in-law." ”
......
......
Jinling, Pufu.
Leng Qiuxing stood in front of several men dressed in black with a small cold word tattooed on their chests and said lightly: "Bring me all the guest lists in Jinling City and yesterday, and I will see them before noon, and there must be no mistake." ”
Several people received the order and were about to leave.
Leng Qiuxing spoke again: "Jun Qiu, you stay, I have more important things to tell you." Hearing this, a young man with a gloomy face stopped.
He clenched his fists and said, "I don't know what else the owner has to order?"
Leng Qiuxing glanced left and right and said, "You take Bai Qingchi to the major city gates of Jinling to ask, and see who entered the city with them yesterday." If so, ask them about their physical characteristics. Remember, this matter should be kept secret, and it must not be discovered by the people of the Pu Mansion. ”
"Yes, owner. ”
The man named Leng Junqiu is Leng Qiu, who is Leng Qiuxing's distant cousin and Leng Qiuxing's most trusted confidant. Although Leng Qiuxing's order was quite strange, Leng Junqiu didn't ask much. After he just received the order, he came to Leng Qiuxing's house and brought Bai Qingchi out.
After arranging all this properly, Leng Qiuxing breathed a sigh of relief. He turned and walked to the door of the house, Leng Piaopiao still curled up on the ground, groaning in pain.
Leng Qiuxing lowered his head, clenched his fists with a painful expression, he didn't know why he was like he had lost his heart and gone crazy, and put such a heavy hand on his daughter, but he had never moved a single hair from Leng Piaopiao since he was a child. He blamed himself and felt guilty and heartbroken, he wanted to step into the house and explain clearly to Leng Piaopiao, what he did was just his ambition, and he still felt sorry for his daughter. But after hesitating for a long time, Leng Qiuxing still didn't have the courage to cross the threshold.
"Bang!" he closed the door, his face calm and cold. He said to himself: "Those who achieve great things are not informal!"
After the door was closed, Leng Piaopiao, who had been enduring the pain, bit her lip and sobbed in a low voice. She was sad, but rejoicing. She was sad for the ruthlessness of Leng Qiuxing, and she was glad that she could live for herself.
Leng Qiuxing paced back and forth in the courtyard, but his eyes never left his room. At this moment, in his eyes, what was in that room was not Leng Piaopiao, but the silver of ten silk villages and white flowers. And just as he was staring at the door, a dark dart suddenly struck the back of his head. Leng Qiuxing didn't seem to be able to react and didn't look back. But when the dark dart flew three inches away from the back of his head, Leng Qiuxing suddenly worked.
The cold air struck from all directions, and the dark dart was frozen in mid-air. Leng Qiuxing turned his head indifferently, reached out and took down the dark dart and looked at it, only to see that the dark dart was stained with a half-finger of fire paint. There are a few small characters engraved on the fire paint, which reads "See you at Tongfu Inn".
Leng Qiuxing's face suddenly showed a look of ecstasy, and he was not allowed to think about it at this moment. Leng Qiuxing was about to walk out of this courtyard, but he had just left for a short time when he turned around and turned back. He took off all the locks from the other rooms in the distance and locked them on the doors of his own rooms. After making sure that the door was firmly locked, Leng Qiuxing left with confidence.
Leng Qiuxing came to the front of the mansion, and two men walked over. The two of them greeted Leng Qiuxing with a fist, but Leng Qiuxing didn't pay attention to something urgent, just replied lightly, and walked out of the Pu Mansion without raising his head.
When he was gone, the two men began to talk.
"Childe, did you say that this person was in a hurry to go out of the funeral, with a depressed look. ”
"You don't care what he does, I'll go and see the Master of the Park family first. Also, what I told you, can you remember clearly?"
"I, Lin Sanchuan, don't worry, son. ”
Dong Ping nodded, and the two of them divided into two ways and walked into the depths of the Pu family's compound.
Let's say that after Leng Qiuxing walked to the Tongfu Inn, he grabbed Xiao Er, who was greeting guests, and said in a deep voice: "Xuanzi No. 3 room, can anyone live?"
Xiao Er was full of irritability, how could he be such a person in the secret way, although he was reluctant in his heart, but this Xiao Er still greeted him with a smile, and he replied: "It's here, the guest of Xuanzi No. 3 room, I just came to stay last night." Leng Qiuxing smiled, he took out a few pieces of broken silver from his arms, patted them on the little second-hand and said, "Reward you." ”
"It's stingy enough. After scolding, Xiao Erqi smiled and said, "Thank you, official reward." ”
Leng Qiuxing smiled slightly, and went straight to the second floor of the inn.
Leng Qiuxing stood quietly in front of the No. 3 guest room for a while, and then quietly pushed open the door.
Before he could go in, he heard a young voice and said vigilantly: "Who!"
Leng Qiuxing smiled: "It was your old man who called me here, don't you still know who I am?"
The people in the room laughed when they heard this: "There are three things you said that are not right. First, I'm not an old man. Second, I didn't call you either. Third, I don't know you even more. ”
When Leng Qiuxing heard this, he beat a drum in his heart: "Why is there something wrong with this person's voice, could it be that the envoy was killed!" Thinking of this, Leng Qiuxing suddenly turned his true qi to the extreme, and the temperature of the entire floor suddenly dropped.
After the people in the room sighed lightly, they said lightly: "Good cultivation." ”
Leng Qiuxing's face was gloomy and he didn't answer anymore. He lifted his palm to his chest, and he pushed the door in. At the same time, a wave of killing intent burst out of the house.
When the cold air and killing intent were clashing with each other, a male duck's voice suddenly came out of Room A: "It's the guest who has arrived, the envoy has been waiting here for a long time." ”
Leng Qiuxing's body suddenly stiffened, and his hands stopped in mid-air. The man in the room burst out laughing and said, "Your cultivation is good, but you have a bit of a problem with your brain. ”
Leng Qiu Xing snorted coldly, but this matter was unreasonable for him first, so he didn't say anything more, and walked directly to the opposite room. However, when he left, he secretly glanced at the guests in room No. 3 through the crack in the door. It was a young man, walking cross-legged on the boat. And the young man also saw him, and the two looked at each other for a moment, and both felt that the other was unfathomable.
"Leng Qiuxing? ”
Ah Jiu, who was sitting on the bed, picked up the long sword hidden in the quilt just now, and said to himself with a little disappointment: "The Park family is really cold-blooded, so many people have died in the family, but there is no mourning. After thinking about it, Ah Jiu laughed stupidly again and said, "Then you deserve to die even more." ”
After Leng Qiuxing entered the guest room opposite Ah Jiu, he saw a masked man in black sitting in front of him. Leng Qiuxing knelt down on one knee and said: "It's too late for the autumn trip, I hope the envoy will forgive me." ”
"Hehe, the cold owner doesn't have to be polite, please get up. As soon as the masked man spoke, it was the piercing voice of a male duck.
Leng Qiuxing stood up, with a cramped smile on his face.
"I wonder what the envoy is doing this time?"
The masked man chuckled: "Naturally, I came here for the silver, Master Leng, I don't know how much you promised two million taels of silver." ”
Leng Qiuxing bowed and said, "Didn't the envoy say that the silver will only need to be ...... next year?"
Before Leng Qiuxing finished speaking, the masked man slapped the table: "Hmph, Leng Zhuang Master, you are so bold!"
Leng Qiuxing was silent, and when he landed, he knelt down and said, "I don't know what kind of crime Qiuxing is?"
The masked man said lightly: "Knowingly, I asked that batch of silver as the military salary you promised me for the southern expedition of the Great Liao Kingdom." Now that my Da Liao plan has changed, and that batch of silver is urgently needed, you must get it together within half a month. ”
Leng Qiuxing bent down his other leg again, turned into a kneeling and said: "Qiu Xing obeys the orders of the special envoy, and Qiu Xing is my great liao, and I am willing to bow and die as hard as I can." ”
The envoy smiled when he heard this, and he didn't know whether he was moved or ridiculed. The masked man waved his hand and said: "Okay, the envoy knows the difficulties of the Leng Zhuang master, but it is indeed the military situation that is important, otherwise the envoy would not have come to trouble the Leng Zhuang master." ”
"This is a matter within the division of the autumn line, and the autumn line is willing to be the pawn of the great Liaonan expedition. ”
After hearing this, the masked man stood up, walked in front of Leng Qiuxing, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Okay, Master Leng Zhuang is a figure who does great things. We'll talk about it today, and I'll contact you in half a month. ”
"Obey the envoy's orders. ”
The masked man nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll go first, and you can leave the inn after an hour." In addition, the envoy has one more thing to ask the owner of the cold village to do. Of course, this is just a private matter of the envoy, if the owner of the cold village is unwilling to do it, although he can refuse. ”
Leng Qiuxing hurriedly shook his head and said, "Please ask the special envoy to do it for you, Qiuxing will definitely do it for the envoy." ”
After hearing this, the masked man took out a note from his bosom and threw it in front of Leng Qiuxing and said, "See for yourself." ”
Leng Qiuxing respectfully picked up the note, unfolded it, and gradually became embarrassed.
Seeing this, the masked man smiled and said, "What's the matter? ”
Leng Qiuxing shook his head and said, "No, Qiuxing just wants to ask, has the Pu Mansion ever offended the envoy?"
The masked man sighed and said, "It's okay, when the envoy was walking in Jiangzhou, he was beaten by that Pu Tieliang's sword. In this matter, if the owner of the cold village is in trouble, then ......"
Leng Qiuxing forced a smile and said: "The envoy misunderstood, this little thing, Qiu Xing can naturally handle it." ”
After Leng Qiuxing finished speaking, the masked man slapped him on the shoulder with a heavy palm, and laughed: "Okay! The envoy really didn't misunderstand you, the envoy came to you to conspire with you back then, and it was precisely because he valued your courage and resourcefulness. With that, the masked man looked up to the sky and laughed, and walked out of the door.
Leng Qiuxing was still kneeling in the room, he stared at the note, and smiled helplessly.
As soon as the masked man left the inn, he got into a carriage. The carriage circled around Jinling City, and finally stopped at the back door of Pufu. The masked man stepped out of the car and crept into the Pu Mansion. As soon as the masked man entered the Pu Mansion, he ripped off the masked steps on his face. He let out two long breaths and said, "Damn, suffocate me." Then, he laughed again and said, "But it's also interesting to see that usually stinky fart Leng Qiuxing like this." The man was speaking at this time, but he was no longer a bull's voice. And this person's face is also familiar, it is the thin man who cooperated with Park Jiapu to misbehaved last night.
The thin man muttered to himself for a while, and then walked up in the Pu Mansion with his head held high. Finally, he stopped in front of a house, bowed his head and said, "Childe, the slave is back." ”
After a quarter of an hour, a weak voice came out of the room: "Come in." ”
The thin man smiled and pushed the door in.
As soon as he entered the house, the thin man stepped on the cashmere carpet, and the house was lit with good incense. In this large room, there are not many other decorative objects, only a rocking chair. Sitting on the rocking chair now is the staring, half-dead Park Jiapu. On either side of him, in front of him, on the left and right, there were fourteen half-dressed and delicate women. These women are now smiling and carefully kneading their bodies for this son of the Pu family.
The thin man knelt at the feet of Park Jiapu and said flatteringly: "Son, the matter is done, in another hour, we will be able to watch a good show." Hearing this, Park Jiapu, who was still half-dead, came to his senses, he sat up straight with a snap, his eyes lit up and said: "Yes, this can be regarded as a joy for our Park family." ”
The thin man smiled: "Childe, I really convince you." Under the guise of such an envoy of the Liao State, he deceived Leng Qiuxing into obedience. I couldn't help but be determined to marry Miss Leng to you, Gongzi, and let him do something else, and he didn't say anything. Childe, don't you know that Leng Qiuxing was kneeling in front of me just now, that dog-like, it's really enjoyable!"
Park Jiapu smiled and hugged the two women and said, "Then do you know, how could Leng Qiu's behavior fall for this son so easily?"
"The villain doesn't know. ”
"Let me tell you, in order to get ahead, Leng Qiuxing was looking for an errand in front of the official family, and he couldn't bear to give his flowery wife to a eunuch to play, you say it's funny. After Park Jiapu finished speaking, the first one laughed out loud, and the rest of the crowd also echoed and laughed.
The thin man smiled: "This cold autumn has been fooled once, and it is really stupid to be fooled a second time." ”
Park Jiapu shook his head and said, "You don't know, the ancestor of Leng Qiuxing had an accident and was the soil emperor for so many days. Leng Qiuxing has been thinking about how to restore the glory of his ancestors for half his life, let alone deceiving him once, even if he deceives him 10,000 times, he is willing to be next to him. ”
The thin man nodded, thoughtful.
And Park Jiapu pushed the two women in his arms on the thin man and said, "Reward you, have fun, let's go and see the excitement." ”
The thin man looked at these two flower-like beauties, and kowtowed violently: "Thank you Gongzi!"
Park Jiapu smiled slightly, and his expression returned to coldness.
Let's say that as soon as Lin Sanchuan entered the Pu Mansion, he inquired left and right and found Leng Piaopiao's residence. When he arrived, he found the house empty.
At this time, a voice came: "Don't look for it, Miss Leng is not here." Lin Sanchuan turned his head and saw a fat man with a complaint written on his face, looking at him coldly. Lin Sanchuan smiled, stepped forward and grabbed the fat man's shoulder and said, "Brother, where is this cold girl now?"
The fat man glanced at Lin Sanchuan vigilantly and said, "What are you looking for Miss Leng?"
Lin Sanchuan pretended to be a thief and looked around for a while, and then whispered: "I won't tell you, brother, I just heard that a famous beauty in Jiangzhou came to Pufu, so I came to take a look and feast my eyes." ”
"Are you a native of Jinling?"
Lin Sanchuan smiled: "Yes, I buy chops on Qingyuan Street on weekdays." ”
The fat man relaxed a little when he heard this, and he smiled: "I won't tell you, now the people in the house want to see the cold girl." But no one knows where Miss Leng is now, I know, but I don't tell them. ”
Lin Sanchuan said tentatively: "Why is this?"
The fat man smiled: "Because others are not honest, but I see you as honest, so I am willing to tell you." ”
Lin Sanchuan patted the fat man's chest and said, "I am grateful for that brother." ”
The fat man suddenly whispered: "Miss Leng entered the house early this morning and went to the residence of the head of the Leng family. ”
Lin Sanchuan laughed when he heard this: "That brother told me how to get to the residence of the head of the Leng family." With that, Lin Sanchuan quietly stuffed a few copper coins into the fat man's hand.
The fat man smiled and told Lin Sanchuan where Leng Qiuxing lived. After Lin Sanchuan said two more good words to the fat man, he left here quickly.
Seeing Lin Sanchuan walk away, the fat man threw the copper coins that were still stained with mud and dirt on the ground with disdain.
"With a Beimang accent, you still pretend to be from Jinling with me, you don't know anything! Damn, if you don't use me, I'm going to spoil your good deeds!" After scolding, the fat man raised his hands behind his back and walked away.
Lin Sanchuan came to the courtyard where Leng Qiuxing lived, and did not go in first, but used a few pennies to bribe a subordinate to go to the courtyard to investigate the situation. After making sure that Leng Qiuxing was not there, Lin Sanchuan walked in cautiously.
Standing at the door of the house with several copper locks, Lin Sanchuan scolded with a smile: "This old boy, how many treasures are hidden." With that, Lin Sanchuan poked open the window paper and looked in. At this glance, Lin Sanchuan suddenly sweated profusely. He didn't dare to hesitate, kicked open the door of the house, and when he saw Leng Piaopiao lying on the ground inside, he gritted his teeth in anger.
"Miss Leng, are you okay?" Lin Sanchuan stepped forward and squatted in front of Leng Piaopiao and asked.
"Yes...... Lin Gongzi... Here it ......."
"I'm just a big old man, a fart boy, cold girl, don't talk, I'll take you away. Lin Sanchuan couldn't bear it, and didn't dare to look at Leng Piaopiao again, he helped Leng Piaopiao, and after carrying her on his back, he walked out of the house quickly.
Tongfu Inn.
"It's been an hour. Leng Qiuxing muttered to himself, got up and walked out of the guest room.
