Chapter 6 Secrets
Shi Ziyu couldn't believe that her grandfather, who had always been like a god, had been defeated at the hands of the Streamer Prince, but she didn't believe it. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"If you have anything to say, just ask. She closed her eyes, and it didn't taste good.
"If you don't have iron legs, then why did you kill me?"
"Because my brother Shi Zique. Shi Ziyu said with a sad face
"What do you say?" Qi Chu asked
"It's a long story. Shi Ziyu sighed
"Then stop talking nonsense, be more verbose, and be careful that I'm not welcome. Lan Ting couldn't help it
"Then you can prick up your ears and listen, I'll just say it once!" Shi Ziyu's eldest lady had a temper, Qi Chu smiled and nodded, and said in her heart: This little girl is not bad-hearted, but her temper is too big, let Lan Ting train and train well in the future.
Shi Ziyu closed her eyes, tears were already flowing from the corners of her eyes, "A month ago, my brother Shi Zique suddenly disappeared. Dad and Uncle sent all the people in the family to search for seven days and seven nights, but there was still no whereabouts, and finally asked Grandpa to no avail. ”
Qi Chu asked: "There are definitely not many people on this river and lake who dare to kidnap the eldest young master of the Shi family, and it would be even more strange if even Old Master Shi did not come forward in person and found any clues." ”
Lan Ting said: "No matter how powerful Old Man Shi is, won't he be defeated by Gongzi? ”
"What do you mean?" Shi Ziyu asked with a puzzled expression
"Pretend to be an egg!" Lan Ting was proud, if Shi Ziyu hadn't been lying on the bed and couldn't move, I'm afraid he would have jumped on Lan Ting and bit him by now.
Qi Chu began to feel that this matter was a little interesting, and he couldn't find any news about the eldest young master of the Shi family and the old man Shi after he was alarmed, and the mastermind of this kidnapping really had some ability.
"But?" he seemed to have grasped some clues, "The disappearance of the eldest young master of the Shi family will definitely alarm the martial arts, why haven't I heard any news?"
Shi Ziyu hurriedly said: "You are stupid, our family is a famous martial arts family, and my uncle is a contemporary owner, but he is obsessed with martial arts and has never married a wife, so naturally he has no heirs." Therefore, my brother is the next owner. You talk about the disappearance of the future owner, how can such a big thing be casually let others know, if it spreads to the rivers and lakes, I don't know how many people hit our family's idea. ”
Qi Chu smiled: "It makes sense, go on." ”
Shi Ziyu said: "I have the best relationship with my brother, where can I calm down, but my father said that it is really dangerous for me to walk on the rivers and lakes as a girl, so I am not allowed to come out to find someone." But where did I say yes, and sneaked out of the house that night with my luggage in the moonlight. ”
Lan Ting sneered: "Even your father, uncle, and grandfather can't find clues, presumably your ancestors may not be able to catch the murderer even if they crawl out of the grave, and you still want to turn the tide as a little girl?"
Shi Ziyu's eyes suddenly dimmed, "You're right, the opponent is too strong, I can't do it." As soon as he left Yangzhou City, he was arrested. ”
"The person who captured you is in the same group as the person who kidnapped Shi Zique?" Qi Chu asked
"Yes!"
"Since the other party is so powerful, how did you escape, why did you kill my son-in-law?" Lan Ting realized that something was wrong and hurriedly asked
"I didn't run away, but they risked my brother's life to do things for them, and killing your son was the first thing. But before I came, I didn't know that the person I was going to kill was Streamer Childe. After Shi Ziyu finished speaking, she closed her eyes, and it seemed that she was no longer ready to speak.
Qi Chu knew that she had already said everything that needed to be said, gave Lan Ting a look, and the two walked out of the room.
"Childe, is what she said credible?" Lan Ting asked
Qi Chu nodded and said: "It should be true, the clothes she is wearing are embroidered and woven by Yangzhou Jinxiufang, and the technique of needle and threading should be from Xu Jinyu, the master of Jinxiufang." ”
Lan Ting said again: "Based on this alone, you can determine that the girl is the descendant of the Shi family?"
Qi Chu said: "When you weren't born, that Xu Jinyu was already famous all over the world, and now it doesn't often appear on the rivers and lakes." But her embroidery is getting better and better day by day. As early as the year before last, the clothes she embroidered and woven by herself had been sold for 10,000 taels of gold. ”
"She's really so powerful, isn't she very rich, she's a rich woman!" Lan Ting said in surprise with her mouth wide open
"Not only that, the clothes embroidered by Xu Jinyu himself are not something that can be bought with money, but also have power. In Yangzhou, there are still a few rich and powerful, but only the Shi family can make Xu Jinyu go out of the mountain again. Qi Chu raised his hand and looked at the clothes that had been washed many times but were still brand new, and said in a low voice: "Back then, you said that this dress was worth 10,000 taels, I thought you were just joking, if the people of the rivers and lakes now know that it is the first piece of clothing embroidered and woven after you came out of Linglang Pavilion, let alone 10,000 taels of gold, even if I want the entire Yangzhou City, someone will buy it and exchange it with me." Thinking of the past, the corners of Qi Chu's mouth couldn't help but smile, and he said in his heart: It's better to be young, you can brag recklessly. And now after those people are famous all over the world, they can't drink and talk like before, and even after so many years, he can only hide his name and be bullied. At this time, he looked sideways at Lan Ting, his eyes were full of love, and he already had a plan in his heart: Don't worry, I owed you back then, and the people in the rivers and lakes owed you, and now they will all be returned to Lan Ting.
Lan Ting found that Childe looked at him so affectionately, his face was a little unbearable, he lowered his head shyly, and suddenly raised his head and said, "I actually forgot about this matter!"
Seeing Lan Ting's reaction, Qi Chu hurriedly said, "Say it quickly!"
A trace of horror flashed in Lan Ting's eyes and said, "After the death of the old ghost Xu San last night, I carried his body and wanted to find a place to bury it, Childe, guess what I found?"
Qi Chu scolded with a smile: "Do you really think I'm clever?"
Lan Ting said with a smile: "Before I went out, my son said that if I bury the dead at night, I must let his face hit the ground, and don't look at his face." ”
"Have you seen it?" Qi Chu frowned slightly, although he is now a famous streamer son in the rivers and lakes, and even more than ten years ago he was more famous than now, but even if he has extraordinary martial arts, there are still many things in this world that he doesn't understand, such as ghosts, he is very jealous.
"I originally wanted to listen to Childe's words, but the more you didn't let me see me, the more I wanted to see it, I couldn't help it!" Lan Ting scratched his head, knowing that he had made a mistake.
"Getting to the point. ”
"The point is that when I turned over Xu San's old ghost's body, it almost scared me to death, that face was completely rotten, and I couldn't tell that it was a human face at all, like a pile of rotten meat. Thinking of that terrifying face, Lan Ting's heart palpitated, "And I found that the blood on his mouth was actually black, so I concluded that he swallowed the poison in his mouth last night while he rushed up to kill Gongzi, so he committed suicide!"
Qi Chu nodded and said, "There is such a possibility, it seems that you have learned something from me these days." ”
"That's for sure, after all, there is no second son with unparalleled scheming on the rivers and lakes. Lan Ting said proudly
Qi Chu said: "Then tell me more, why did Xu San old ghost commit suicide by swallowing poison?"
"He must know that he will definitely die in the face of his son, so it is better to settle it himself. "If that's what you say, then why did he rush up and kill me?"
"Uh...... It should be that he originally wanted to kill his son, but he regretted it halfway through, so he ......" Lan Ting felt that his reason was really far-fetched, "What should be going on?"
Qi Chu said: "You said that the symptom after he took the poison was that his whole face was rotten, if it was really him who took the poison himself, that is to say, he didn't want us to see his face, so we must know this person." ”
Lan Ting pondered: "Who could it be? We know a lot of people, Aunt Wang next door to the house, and Aunt Cai in the backyard, I heard that Aunt Liu, who sent rice to our family, and Second Uncle Wu, who played the watch, got along. "Lan Ting is a child, no matter what happens, he can find fun in it.
Qi Chu suddenly smiled and said, "I haven't seen the shopkeeper since I stayed in the inn, don't you think it's strange?"
"It's weird, I've only met him once. ”
"Not only does this inn not have a shopkeeper, but after the death of Xu San's old ghost, we searched through this place and didn't even have an account book, don't you think it's strange?"
"That's right, even if the shopkeeper goes to find the old man and doesn't return at night, he won't take all the account books away. Lan Ting suddenly had a flash of inspiration, "Xu San's old ghost is the shopkeeper?!"
Qi Chu said with a look of approval: "Only in this way does it make sense, in order to prevent us from recognizing who he is, the old ghost Xu San did not hesitate to commit suicide by taking poison." I hadn't seen anyone in the town until I met Old Ghost Xu. And you've only seen the shopkeeper of this inn, so I deduce that the old ghost Xu San is the shopkeeper. He didn't want us to recognize him, because he was afraid that we would find out something from here, and it was definitely a big secret. So he'd rather die than protect this big secret. ”
Lan Ting asked, "But I still can't figure it out, if Old Ghost Xu San doesn't want others to know this secret, why didn't he kill me when I first came?"
Qi Chu said: "He should play a small role in this secret, so he has no right to make decisions." So after you leave, he leaves to find someone who can make decisions. He was in a hurry, so he forgot to take the dog with him. ”
Lan Ting said: "The person who made the decision must have told him that no matter who came, he must die, so he went into the house to assassinate Childe, but he didn't want Childe to be kind enough to let his dog sleep in the bed." He suddenly remembered something and asked, "Is the Dragon God Eight Transformation really that powerful?"
Qi Chu said with a smile: "The Dragon God Eight Transformations is the martial arts that the people of the rivers and lakes dream of, and the millions of enemy troops couldn't trap your father back then, relying on the Dragon God Eight Changes." Although you haven't learned the nitty-gritty, I think your father has already passed on the Eight Transformations of the Dragon God to you. ”
Lan Ting said: "But I don't know how to use it, and I can only use one or two tricks when my potential is stimulated." Suddenly, there was a look in his eyes, "Is my father really the famous Yizhan Yunfei?"
Qi Chu smiled: "What I said is still false?"
Lan Ting said: "But why did my father never tell me? Growing up so big, he has always been a cook in front of others, and he is always bullied, who would have thought that he would be the righteous Zhan Yun Feiyan Han with the eight changes of the dragon god! Son, you and my father must be good friends!"
Qi Chu Zhengse said: "I am from the same door as your father, and I also have eight friends, he is my eldest brother." ”
Lan Ting suddenly felt that something in his body was about to burst out, in his eyes Qi Chu was a god-like existence, and now his father turned out to be Qi Chu's eldest brother, he suddenly understood that what erupted was pride, enough pride to make the world look up.
"But why did my father retire and not fight back even if he was willing to be bullied?" Lan Ting asked
Qi Chu only felt that there was a thousand catties of boulder blocked in his heart, "It's a long story, now we have to go and find out the secret behind the old ghost Xu San." But you have to remember that Lan Ting's surname is Yan, and you have to be worthy of your surname wherever you go, understand?"
"Hmm" Lan Ting nodded fiercely, "Yan Lan Ting is quite good." He finally smiled. At this moment he has grown up, because only a man can carry this swallow character.
Qi Chu patted him on the shoulder and said, "And from today onwards, you can tell everyone that you are Yan Han's son, because what the people of Jianghu owed to your father back then, they will have to pay it back to you in the future!"
Lan Ting looked at Qi Chu as if he didn't understand, in his eyes, Qi Chu was the same as his father, he would only be good to him, so no matter what Qi Chu said, he would do it, because a person who loves you will never hurt you, even if he hurts you, don't hate him, that's just another way of loving.
Lan Ting was full of vitality and vitality, and even confidently thought that he could own the whole world. In fact, in the eyes of crazy people, those normal people are crazy, because they are willing to do nothing all their lives.
"Then let's get moving!" Although the road ahead was unknown, Lan Ting was full of confidence.
