Chapter 35: Uninvited

Zhu Tianwei talked and laughed, and as long as he thought of Zhu Tianxiang sitting opposite him, there was a nameless fire. He was distracted, his demeanor was inevitably a little stiff, and the words he said were not so interesting.

Bai Qingfeng's eyes were half-closed, no matter whether it was sunny or rainy, he had such a cold face.

Bai Qingyun and Zhu Tianxiang naturally didn't dare to say a word, and Bai Xinyu was in no mood to speak.

Hua Susu gradually felt bored and impatient, feeling that the air in this hall was unusually turbid and dull, and wanted to get up and leave, but he didn't want to embarrass Bai Xinyu. What's more, Shen Yi on the other side, although her expression was solemn, she still sat at the table peacefully, so that she couldn't get up and leave.

Her eyes looked at Shen Yi without blinking, and only his calm and calm face could bring her peace and confidence.

Shen Yi just looked at Zhu Tianwei intently, and his eyes examined, as if he was comparing and measuring the similarities and differences between the domineering and ruthless Zhu Tianwei in front of him and the heroic and dry cloud ancient road and hot Zhu Tianwei in his impression.

Although the wine tastes good, the more people drink it, the more tasteless it becomes.

Zhu Tianwei raised his head and drank a glass of wine, and glanced at the old housekeeper's blessing.

The old housekeeper blessed the meeting and hurriedly went out to instruct the family.

The family outside the hall waited for a long time, and immediately provoked a hundred or so cannons with bamboo poles, ignited the fire, crackled and sparks splashed everywhere, and thick smoke rose everywhere.

It's a pity that this cannon battle was lively and lively, but the guests and hosts forced a smile and the atmosphere was awkward.

When the artillery battle finally stopped, Zhu Tianwei stood up, swept his eyes at everyone, and said with his fists clenched: "Today is the birthday of my brothers, thank you relatives and friends for coming to congratulate ......"

He rambled and said some polite words, and although he had a smile on his face, he looked indescribably gray and tired. He also knew that he must have a bad complexion at this time, and he completely lost his previous joy, but he couldn't help but feel an inexplicable sadness. He has always claimed to be a strong man, how could he have ever felt so embarrassed, and he couldn't help but glare at Zhu Tianxiang fiercely.

Zhu Tianxiang's face changed, and he immediately curled up even more.

Hua Susu saw that he was dissatisfied, and he put a piece of meat in Zhu Tianxiang's bowl angrily, and deliberately said loudly: "This meat is so delicious, you can taste it." This is the birthday feast of the eldest brother, I wish the eldest brother is your brother-in-law, you are happy, he will be happy. ”

Zhu Tianwei stood with his eyebrows slanted, and glanced at Hua Susu vigorously, because she was a member of the Hua family of Lihuazhuang and knew Shen Yi, so he had to endure it for the time being, so he stopped making a sound, but shot his eyes full of anger at Zhu Tianxiang.

Zhu Tianxiang lowered his head, at a loss, where did he dare to eat the meat in the bowl?

Hua Susu was angry at him for being cowardly, and was thinking about what way to strengthen his courage, but when he saw him suddenly secretly raise his eyelids, he turned his eyes and smiled, and said in a very low voice: "Thank you, Miss Hua." ”

Hua Susu was stunned for a moment, and then looked at it intently, Zhu Tianxiang was already bowing his head and not saying a word. She could barely resist raising her hand to rub her eyes, thinking that she had just misseen and misheard.

I wish Tianwei a long time in the world, and this little turmoil will not be difficult for him. After his complexion changed a few times, he was already full of spring breeze, laughed heartily, and even beckoned the maid of the family to serve the delicacies, add wine, enthusiastically persuaded everyone to return to the wine, and deliberately raised his glass with both hands to salute Shen Yi again, and said: "Five years ago, Brother Fool was able to make friends with Brother Shen, which was the greatest blessing in my life. After that, Brother Fool kept thinking that he could get drunk with Brother Shen again, run on a moonlit night, and chase the murderer to eliminate evil...... It's a pity that Brother Shen is shouldering a heavy responsibility, and Brother Fool has never been able to meet his brother again. I never expected that Brother Shen would descend like a god, and suddenly arrived in Zhujiazhuang, this is the so-called providence, it is really a great joy. Come, foolish brother, this glass of wine will be dried first as a respect. ”

Shen Yi looked at him, as if he wanted to see him in his heart, with a complicated expression in his eyes, he also raised his wine glass and said, "Little brother really doesn't dare to be, Brother Zhu is too polite." ”

From greeting each other outside the door to toasting now, Zhu Tianwei wanted to get close to Shen Yi in every possible way, and wanted to see the real purpose of his unexpected come. But Shen Yi was calm and calm, not angry or happy, which made Zhu Tianwei's heart go up and down, and he was at a loss. He was worried, but his face became more and more smiling, and he said, "Since Brother Shen didn't come specifically for Brother Yu's birthday, but I don't know what happened here, is there a place where Brother Yu can help?"

Shen Yi put down the wine glass, looked directly at Zhu Tianwei, his always calm and calm gaze actually hesitated for a moment, and said slowly: "Don't hide it from Brother Zhu, the little brother is really here for a business." ”

When Zhu Tianwei heard that it was a business matter, his heart couldn't help jumping, and he blurted out a question: "Business business?

Shen Yi didn't have a smile on his face, but his eyes were as bright as a bright light, he looked at Zhu Tianwei and said, "Brother Zhu has lived in the local area for a long time, he must have heard of those great robberies, right? ”

As soon as Shen Yi said this, everyone present gasped, and Zhu Tianwei's face changed greatly.

In the past ten years, in several state capitals adjacent to Yuwu Mountain, there have been 21 murder and robbery cases one after another, and the victims' homes are all local wealthy and powerful families, not only their belongings have been looted, but also all of them have been killed. The perpetrators are extremely brutal, very tightly organized, and do not shoot easily, once they act, they will hit with one blow, and they will not leave the slightest clue afterwards. There are rumors everywhere about the change of color, especially for those who have accumulated a little bit of wealth, and they are worried that they will be the next victims. Several local governments joined forces to investigate the case for several years, but they had no clue, so they had to report to the imperial court and transfer the case to Qingtianfu.

Zhu Tianwei wanted to laugh, but he really couldn't laugh, he wanted to speak, but he didn't know what to say. He turned his head to look at Bai Qingfeng, as if waiting for him to speak, but Bai Qingyun beside him suddenly screamed, grabbed his hands wildly, and the dishes on the table fell to the ground and shattered.

Bai Qingyun's whole person trembled, the corners of his mouth were dripping, his face was as white as paper, his eyes were wide open, and he was staring straight ahead, as if he had seen something terrifying.

Bai Xinyu jumped up, rushed to Bai Qingyun's side, hugged her shoulders, and said softly: "Okay, okay, it's okay, it's all my own family, don't be afraid." ”

The corners of Zhu Tianwei's mouth twisted, and it took a lot of strength to control himself, and he blessed the old housekeeper and said, "Why don't you help Mrs. Yin in?

Bai Qingyun was helped away by the maid and the blessing, and the family cleaned up the tables and chairs again, Zhu Tianwei eased his face, looked at Shen Yi, and reluctantly smiled: "Brother Shen is laughing, she has always been in poor health and often gets sick. ”

Shen Yi said: "Sister-in-law is unwell, so she should take a good rest." ”

Zhu Tianwei was in low spirits, bowed his head and was silent for a long time, as if he had completely forgotten the conversation between Fang Cai and Shen Yi.

Bai Qingfeng sat in his seat, expressionless all the time, even if his own sister was ill, he was not moved, I don't know if he was extraordinary, or if he was cold by nature.

The hall was quiet for a while, everyone lowered their heads, where did they still have the heart to eat this birthday feast?

But I heard a rush of footsteps outside the door, and a family member hurriedly ran into the hall, looking angry and ruined, and shouted: "The owner, the owner, someone broke into the village." ”

Before his words fell, before Zhu Tianwei and the others could react, they saw that this Ding had been pulled aside by a big hand, and a person strode in.

The person who came was very tall, his limbs were very long, and the whole person looked loose and loose, but he was extremely dexterous. He wasn't much handsome, but he wasn't ugly, his eyes were not big, but he was very bright. He took a long step and stepped forward in a few steps, his expression seemed serious, but there was a curious smile in his eyes. As soon as he entered the door, no one looked at him, but only stared at Shen Yi, and said loudly: "Who is the master's family?" ”

He forced his way in, obviously he was here to make trouble, but he apologized again and again, his tone was sincere, his face was serious, and he didn't look like he was joking.

Hua Susu looked at him, his dull mood relaxed a little, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Bai Xinyu was also looking at the person who came, one glance, the next, and whispered to himself: "This person is very interesting." ”

There were many accidents on the birthday feast, Zhu Tianwei didn't seem to be in the mood to lose his temper again, his voice was full of boredom, but he still got up and hugged his fists and said: "This friend, here is the master, may I ask if Your Excellency is not here to make trouble, so what is the reason for breaking into the village?"

Only then did the person turn his eyes to look at Zhu Tianwei, seriously clenched his fists as a salute, bowed to the ground, his voice was loud, and said: "Disrespectful, disrespectful." I take the liberty to disturb under it, and I ask the owner to forgive me. I didn't intend to break into the village in the next book, but I just came to find the Jiangnan hero Shen Daxia to compete. ”
