Are the stars bright?

The stars are bright.

Shen Hanzhu didn't see stars. Because the stars will shine. What he saw was a lamp. In the dark of night, the light was bright, as bright as the stars.

The road was poor, but the horses were fast. Since the light appeared, the horse's walking route had not turned in the same direction, so Shen Hanzhu's eyes had been staring at the light.

Closer and closer, closer and closer, the lights are slowly amplified, and the outline of the house is faintly discerning.

But listening to Yan Wuzhi's "call", the horse finally stopped in front of the house.

It is a very small wooden house, not only small, but also dilapidated.

The door was hidden, and Yan pushed the door in. Shen Hanzhu followed behind him curiously.

There was only one bed in the room, a bed that could only hold half a human body. There were no tables, no stools, and it was sadly ruin.

Shen Hanzhu glanced at the bed, there was actually a man lying on the bed, wrapped his body tightly with a quilt, and only half of his head was exposed. It was the face of a man with vicissitudes. His eyes were dull, and his expression was as dim as the lights in this room.

Yan Wuself's question was very unexpected: "Are you still alive?"

The man on the bed was not angry at all, not only was he not angry, but he also replied seriously: "Yes, of course I live." ”

Shen Hanzhu finally couldn't help but ask the man on the bed, "Why did you sleep on such a small bed?

Yan Wuzhi looked at the man, turned his head to Shen Hanzhu and said, "He has no legs!"

"No legs?" asked Shen Hanzhu in surprise.

"Yes, I don't have legs. The man on the bed said, "My leg was cut off ten years ago. When he said this, his tone was actually very calm. It's as if he's talking about someone else's business.

"Want to know who he is?" Yan asked selflessly.

Shen Hanzhu nodded, he didn't know why he nodded, in fact, he knew that even if he didn't nod, Yan Wuzhu would tell him.

"Have you ever heard of 'Jinling One Sword'?" Yan asked selflessly.

"A sword in Jinling"? That high-spirited and suave swordsman?

Shen Hanzhu looked at the man on the bed, and then at Yan Wuself, how could he not associate the man on the bed with the "Jinling One Sword".

"He is Yu Peixiao, the 'Jinling First Sword'!" Yan Wuself said with a serious face.

Shen Hanzhu was stunned, looking at Yu Peixiao and unable to say a word.

Yu Peixiao smiled bitterly and nodded at him.

Yan Wuself said: "I brought you here today just to tell you about it. ”

Shen Hanzhu nodded again, maybe he felt that he really couldn't say anything now.

Yan Wuzhi sat down and sat on the edge of the bed, Shen Hanzhu was even worried that if he sat down like this, the bed would collapse immediately.

Yan Wuself said: "Time really flies, it's been ten years. ”

Yu Peixiao responded: "Yes, it's been ten years. ”

Shen Hanzhu looked at Yu Peixiao, and his heart was infinitely shocked. Ten years is so torturous and difficult for such a person who has lost his feet!

Yan Wuself said: "Things have to start ten years ago, that year, two major events happened in the rivers and lakes. ”

Shen Hanzhu listened quietly, and Yu Peixiao's expression became more and more gloomy.

Yan Wuzhi continued to say: "One is that the martial arts alliance leader at that time, 'Eight-armed Divine Monarch' Gu Songbai died mysteriously and violently, and the other is that the 'Wuli Pai' was robbed of five million taels of gold. ”

When Yan Wuself said this, he nodded at Yu Peixiao on the bed and said, "And he is the dart master who escorted five million taels of gold back then!"

Shen Hanzhu asked hesitantly, "I often hear people say that Yu Daxia walks the rivers and lakes in a chic manner, happy and revengeful, and has never heard of being a dart master?"

Yu Peixiao couldn't help but blush when she heard this.

Yan Wuzhi said: "Yes, Yu Daxia was originally free and easy, but he met Hong Yulu, the daughter of Hong Zhengtian, the head of the 'Megatron Dart Bureau'. ”

Yu Peixiao said: "Not only did I meet her, but I also liked her deeply." I'm willing to do anything for her, even if it's to die. At that time, the dart board received a big deal, that is, the five million taels of gold. It was the official money that Qingyuan Mansion transported to the capital. At that time, I was strong in blood, and I relied on my own martial arts, so I volunteered to be in charge of escorting the dart. ”

After a slight pause, Yu Peixiao continued: "I didn't expect that when the dart car was traveling to the Wuli card, five masked people suddenly appeared, and as soon as they saw us, they started to move. Although our dart masters also have their own unique skills, those five are all first-class masters, and they all fell in a pool of blood after a while. I was the only one who struggled to hold on, and in the end five men joined forces against me, and I was cut off my legs, fell to the ground, and passed out. They thought we were all dead, so they hijacked the dart cart and left. ”

Shen Hanzhu asked: "These five people have extraordinary martial arts, they must be famous people in the rivers and lakes, so can you recognize who they are?"

Yu Peixiao shook his head and said, "Although I was seriously injured at the time, I ripped off the mask of one of them during the fight, but I have never seen that face. I've been recalling that face for the past few years, but none of the existing masters in the rivers and lakes have a good name. ”

Yan Wuzhi suddenly interjected: "Of course you can't think of who he is!"

Yu Peixiao looked at Yan Wuself in surprise.

Yan said selflessly: "Because this person is dead!"

"Dead?!" Yu Peixiao said in surprise: "Have you found out who the murderer is?"

Yan Wuself nodded, shook his head again, and said, "This case shocked the entire rivers and lakes back then, and the government ordered me to investigate this case thoroughly. From the day after I took the case, I began to hide my name. ”

Yan Wuzhi said this, looked at Shen Hanzhu and said, "Do you know how the 'Money House' came about?"

Shen Hanzhu was confused by the question, and looked at Yan Wuself in confusion.

Yan Wuself said: "It came out of the ground!"

Shen Hanzhu was extremely shocked and asked, "You mean that the appearance of the 'Qian Mansion' is related to the five million taels of gold?"

Yan Wuself said: "That's right! Since the robbery, I have walked the streets and alleys, looking around for clues, but the gold has disappeared without a trace like air. But in the same year, such a mansion was suddenly erected in the east of Shangyu City. ”

Shen Hanzhu said: "So you sneaked into the Qian family and became a housekeeper?"

Yan Wuself looked at Yu Peixiao and said: "He was the only survivor of the robbery back then, and I persuaded him to give up the idea of suicide, and promised him that he would definitely find the murderer." ”

Yu Peixiao said: "For the sake of a promise, I insisted on living until now. ”

Shen Hanzhu said: "The old man is kind and kind, and he is a bodhisattva, not like that kind of traitor. ”

Yan Wuself said: "Yes, so I stayed in the 'Qian Mansion' for nine years! In the past nine years, I have been secretly visiting and collecting all kinds of evidence, but it has always been in vain. ”

Shen Hanzhu said, "Then why do you insist on staying there? Are you sure that your judgment will not be wrong?"

Yan said selflessly: "Before the 'Qian Mansion' appeared, the rivers and lakes had never heard of such a person as Qian Caiwang, but as soon as the 'Qian Mansion' appeared, Qian Caiwang became famous in Jiangnan, don't you think this person's origin is too abnormal?"

Shen Hanzhu said: "Then what do you think of the 'money house'?"

Yan Wuzhi sighed and said, "Mysterious, it's too mysterious, I've been there for nearly ten years, and I haven't figured out how many unknown secrets are hidden in it. ”

Yu Peixiao asked, "Then what did you just say that person died?"

Yan Wuself said: "Judging from your description of that person, I recently matched him with a person, but that person has been dead for many years. ”

Yu Peixiao asked eagerly, "Who is that person you are referring to?"

Yan Wuself said with a solemn face: "Money is full of food!"

Shen Hanzhu "Ah!" and said, "You said that you are the former butler of the 'Qian House'?"

"That's right!" Yan said selflessly, "It's just that he has been dead for so many years, even if he is on the right number, there is no proof of death!"

"Yes!" Shen Hanzhu said, "But there is another way, I don't know if it can help you?"

"What's the way? Say it quickly!" Yu Peixiao said.

"The old man asked someone to draw family members in order to compile a family tree, and this money should be in it. But just when it was almost finished, the eldest lady suddenly quarreled with the old man for some reason, and the old man was not allowed to take the portrait home, so the portrait was kept in the painter's house and never picked up, and after many years I don't know if these portraits still exist there. ”

"What's that artist's name?" Yan asked selflessly.

"It's Gongsun Yi, who is known as the 'Skillful Finger Painting Saint' by the people of the rivers and lakes!" Shen Hanzhu said.

"Hanzhu, your news is too important and too timely, can you take me to Gongsun Yi's house for a while?" Yan said selflessly.

"Okay, yes, I'm afraid that after many years, I don't know if Mr. Gongsun still lives ......there," Shen Hanzhu said.

Yan said selflessly: "It's better to have hope than no hope." ”

Shen Hanzhu nodded yes.

Yan Wuzhi said to Shen Hanzhu: "But before we can do this, we still have to go to a place first. ”

Shen Hanzhu asked, "Where is it?"

Yan said selflessly: "Jiangnan Liu!"

When Shen Hanzhu heard 'Jiangnan Willow', his face changed slightly, and he asked, "What's the point of going to 'Jiangnan Willow'?"

Yan said selflessly: "Qin Weicong, the owner of 'Jinping Villa', mysteriously disappeared in 'Jiangnan Willow', and I heard that a mysterious red sedan chair appeared at the place of the accident, and this is already the sixth missing head in half a year!"

When Shen Hanzhu looked at Yan Wuzhu, Yu Peixiao kept looking at Shen Hanzhu. He suddenly asked: "The little brother is young, and he hasn't walked in the rivers and lakes, but he is not unfamiliar with the affairs of the rivers and lakes, which is really incomprehensible." ”

Shen Hanzhu hesitated for a moment and said: "Both of them are true heroes who are above board, and the juniors should not hide it from each other, but the family teacher has given instructions, and without the permission of his old man, he will never dare to reveal half a point, and I hope that the seniors will forgive." ”

Yan Wuself snorted and said, "Okay, then we'll act separately." ”

Shen Hanzhu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and said, "Acting separately?"

Yu Peixiao said: "Yan Dazhu didn't allow me to be lazy, and told me to deliver the letter." After speaking, he pointed to the pillow, and beside his pillow, I don't know when there was an extra letter.

Shen Hanzhu looked at Yan Wuself, and then at Yu Peixiao, thinking to himself how could such a disabled person who had lost his legs send a letter?

Yan Wuself said, "What are you surprised about? He walked faster than ordinary people." ”

Shen Hanzhu still didn't believe it.

But Yu Peixiao had already gotten up, but seeing that his hands were on the ground, the person had gone out, his movements were chic, and he could still see the demeanor of Jinling's sword back then.

Have you ever seen a person who walks with his hands? Shen Hanzhu is seeing it for the first time anyway.

So he was surprised.

Yan Wuself patted him on the shoulder and said, "The master is gone, we should also go." ”

Shen Hanzhu nodded and said, "Let's go return the horse now?"

Yan said selflessly: "No, let's go directly to 'Jiangnan Liu'." ”

Shen Hanzhu was slightly stunned for a moment, and said, "Continue to use Shao's shopkeeper's horse?"

Yan selflessly smiled: "This horse is no longer the original horse. ”

"Isn't it the original horse?, what do you mean by catching fast?" asked Shen Hanzhu in surprise.

Yan said selflessly: "The horse has been transferred. ”

Shen Hanzhu asked, "You said that Shopkeeper Shao has been here?"

Yan Wuself nodded and said, "Except for her, who would be so capable of unknowingly replacing that horse." ”

Shen Hanzhu said, "Then why did she do this, and did she also hear our conversation just now?"

Yan Wuself said: "I don't care about this now, I just want to hurry up and find a place to sleep in 'Jiangnan Liu' now." ”

Shen Hanzhu couldn't guess what Yan Wuself was thinking, and he didn't want to guess now.

He also wanted to find a place to get some good sleep.

for he was also sleepy, sleepy to death.
