Chapter Eighty-Four: Murder and Silence
Peacock Villa, the ancestral shrine of the Qiu family. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
For the vast majority of the Qiu family, this is a cold place. As a place to worship the ancestors of the Qiu family and to enforce the punishment of the clan law and family rules, except for the servants who clean, almost no one comes here on weekdays.
At this time, there were suddenly a lot of people. The thirteen elders arrived, and they were the representatives of the Qiu family's various rooms. Facing them in the center is the old lady Qiu of the long house, the mother of the owner of the village, Qiu Fengwu, and the eldest sister-in-law of the elders of each room.
In the middle of the hall, a bloodless man lay and an expressionless man stood. Lying down was Shi Weitian, and his faint breath was all supported by Old Lady Qiu's old ginseng soup and unique acupuncture techniques.
Standing was Qiu Laohu, who stiffened when he saw Shi Weitian when he entered the door, but quickly calmed down.
Old Madam Qiu's gray hair has increased a lot recently. She said with a tired voice: "Feng Wu also grew up with you, I don't want to believe that you will harm him." ”
Qiu Laohu said coldly: "I am for the century-old foundation of Peacock Villa. The people don't fight with the officials, the government wants Peacock Feather, but you are carrying it to death, this is to bring the disaster of extermination to Peacock Villa. ”
As soon as this remark came out, some elders seemed to agree.
Old Madam Qiu showed a hint of ridicule and said, "The ancestor of the Qiu family is so heroic, he actually gave birth to something as stupid as a pig like you!"
Everyone was shocked when they heard this, Mrs. Qiu married into the Qiu family, and treated people fairly and gently, and was kind and frugal for decades, so that they could still make Qiu Fengwu take over smoothly when he returned when the previous owner passed away and Qiu Fengwu ran away from home.
Qiu Laohu couldn't help but be a little surprised and annoyed.
Old Madam Qiu said: "You are not convinced?!Why don't you use your pig brain to think about what the Peacock Feather is, the supreme killing weapon! Without the acquiescence of the Holy Lord, how can the Peacock Villa be passed on forever." If the government wants it, who can hold it and who dares to hold it, putting it in the hands is tantamount to plotting against the monarch. ”
Qiu Laohu was stunned and blurted out: "How do you know that it's not the saint who wants it?" As soon as the words came out, he also felt ridiculous. If the emperor wants it, it will take a lot of trouble to do it. Even if Peacock Villa is a strong party, for the emperor, holding a big killing weapon, any name of rebellion can be destroyed with a snap of a finger.
He looked at a few elders, and their eyes flickered, and they all avoided his gaze, and his face suddenly turned dead.
Old Madam Qiu asked coldly, "Tell me, who is that flying knife master?" I promise to spare your life." ”
Qiu Laohu hesitated for a moment, his voice was extremely low and hoarse: "He is..."
Old Madam Qiu frowned slightly.
Suddenly, Qiu Laohu's hands were entangled, and he grabbed Old Madam Qiu's throat with a fierce tiger claw. No one could bring weapons into the ancestral hall, so he had to settle for the next best.
Several people exclaimed, and several people gave first aid. But in the flash of light, I saw Mrs. Qiu's wrist flicking, such as lightly describing flowers and birds, such as downplaying euphemisms, and finally put it on Qiu Laohu's arm, and with a click, Qiu Laohu's arm was broken.
Everyone in the ancestral hall was shocked, no one had ever seen Mrs. Qiu make a move, and only a few people knew that Mrs. Qiu's father was famous for his "folding plum hand" stunt. At this moment, those hearts that were about to move were finally shocked.
Qiu Laohu's arm hurt, and his face was a little distorted. Suddenly, he smiled.
Old Madam Qiu's heart was full of alarm.
An extremely faint light suddenly flashed in the ancestral hall, if it weren't for the bright candlelight in the ancestral hall, and the people present were all masters, otherwise they wouldn't even be able to see the faint light.
The light is extinguished at a moment's notice.
Flying?!
A throwing knife, and it turned out to be a man.
Old Madam Qiu's back was in a cold sweat, and if there was a cold sweat, she was still alive. Even if it is her folding plum hand, it may be difficult to block the flying knife just now. Thankfully, the knife wasn't the target. It's an autumn tiger.
Kill somebody to do away with a witness!
Everyone rushed out of the ancestral hall, but there was no one in sight.
The person who came out with the flying knife at this time must be the person who assassinated Qiu Fengwu that night.
Now, the autumn tiger is dead. Can anyone else find out who it is?
Throwing knives? Throwing knives again.
Old Madam Qiu sat on the Taishi chair, pondered quietly for a while, and said softly: "Go, don't put Li Yu and his son under house arrest anymore." Good life soothing. ”
In the evening, a shocking news came from the Peacock Villa that the Elder Qiu Tiger had died along with an assassin who had previously assassinated the owner.
Naturally, they weren't surprised to hear the news.
Li Mu was very happy to finally be able to get out of house arrest, and he hugged Tiansheng hard.
Tiansheng patted him on the back firmly and said, "I have to go to the 'back furnace' with my master to cultivate for a while, and you kid have to work hard." ”
Li Mu nodded vigorously. No more superfluous words.
Li Yu was beside him, and he naturally stepped forward and bowed.
Li Yu said: "It's good to do it yourself." ”
Naturally looked at Li Yu seriously, and his eyes seemed to be moist.
Li Mu shouted, "Okay, okay, let's go." It's like you're my father's own son. ”
Born with a serious nature, he said to Li Mu: "Your master is still recuperating in bed, you should hurry up and serve." ”
Li Mu said: "Got it." ”
Born to say something and stopped, and finally said: "Goodbye, take care!"
The turmoil in Peacock Villa has finally calmed down.
Tiansheng looked back at the place where he had always been gloomy, and muttered, "Can you really be calm?"
