Sheng Yuchi looked at Tu's mother and daughter, his eyes dark and uncertain. After a long time, he ordered: "Take them all down and put them in the dungeon first. I will interrogate them another day."

"Yes." The two guards grabbed the two of them and took them out.

Zhou Xiaodu caught a glimpse of Sheng Yuchi meditating on the couch from the crack of the window. After he was in a trance, he winked at Sheng Yuqing, lifted his shoulders, and left quietly.

There was no words all the way. When he returned to the room, he saw that the candlelight in the room was a little dim. Zhou Xiaodu took the scissors and cut the candle wick while pondering: "Why did Sheng Yuchi kill Sheng Fengren?"

The candlelight became brighter and the room became a little brighter.

Sheng Yuqing recalled Sheng Yuchi's words just now, "From what he meant, it seemed that he had to kill Sheng Fengren just to protect himself. However, Sheng Yuchi has great martial arts and strong power. What can be given to him?"

pose such a threat?”

"What does the living creature in the pool have to do with this matter? Is it a human or a fish? Or is it a big tortoise?" Zhou Xiaodu rubbed his chin.

Sheng Yuqing poured a cup of tea for each other and said: "I guess only Sheng Yuchi knows this, but a cautious person like him didn't reveal too much to Tu Zilu just now. Thinking about it, it will be difficult to pry it out of his mouth."

Say something."

"There is no airtight wall in the world." Zhou Xiaodu took a sip of tea and said calmly, "I can always dig it out."

"My little brother is behind the wheel, ready for service at any time." Sheng Yuqing toasted her a cup of tea.

"Don't just talk about me," Zhou Xiaodu looked at him sideways and said leisurely, "Actually, you are quite curious too, right?"

"It's such a big show, who can't be curious?" Sheng Yuqing smiled.

Zhou Xiaodu snorted softly, "I knew it, little gossip."

"Then you are a big gossip." Sheng Yuqing countered.

Zhou Xiaodu curled his lips disapprovingly.

Another day passed, at the fourth watch, the night was getting thicker and everything was silent, Zhou Xiaodu entered the dungeon of Sheng Mansion.

Tu Zilu and Tu Yuanxiang were imprisoned separately, and Zhou Xiaodu went straight to find Tu Zilu.

Tu Zilu hadn't fallen asleep yet, and when he noticed someone coming, he immediately showed a vigilant expression and looked at her through the thick iron fence. Although Sheng Yuchi didn't spare his hand with that palm, he sent someone to give Tu Zilu medicine afterwards. She is now considered

A little better.

Zhou Xiaodu changed his appearance and was not afraid that she would recognize him. He said softly: "I'm here to help you."

"Help me? Who are you? Why do you want to help me?" Tu Zilu asked doubtfully.

Zhou Xiaodu replied: "Who I am is not important to you. You just need to know that I am also checking on Sheng Yuchi."

"I don't know who you are, so how can I trust you?" Tu Zilu didn't agree.

Zhou Xiaodu sneered, "What do you have that is worthy of me lying to you?"

Hearing this, Tu Zilu smiled bitterly and said, "That's true. I have nothing now and am at the mercy of others. There is really no value in being deceived."

Zhou Xiaodu said: "Stop talking nonsense. Since Sheng Yuchi didn't kill you immediately, it means that he has other plans for you. I want you to find a way to get some secrets out of him about why he wanted to kill Sheng Fengren and other secrets."

, the more the better.”

Tu Zilu was speechless, "I thought you were going to rescue me. What kind of help is this? You obviously want me to help you."

"It's not daytime, what are you daydreaming about?" Zhou Xiaodu was speechless, "Mutual benefit, courtesy, do you understand?"

Tu Zilu: “…”

Zhou Xiaodu knelt down on one knee and waved to her, "Come here, I'll help you heal your injuries."

Tu Zilu hesitated for a moment and climbed to the iron fence, "How to heal?"

Zhou Xiaodu reached into the cell, pushed her, and said, "Carry her over."

"……oh."

Zhou Xiaodu Yun Gong helped her heal some of her internal injuries, and she should be fine after a few more days. Then, he left her a key and a short blade, "The key can open the cell door, and the short blade is poisonous.

You defend yourself. You can try to escape, but whether you want to escape or whether you can escape depends entirely on your own destiny."

Tu Zilu hid the short blade in his sleeve, then played with the key in his hand, "Aren't you afraid that I will sneak away without helping you?"

Zhou Xiaodu said nonchalantly: "You can do this."

"What do you mean?" Tu Zilu asked.

"I said, whether you want to escape or not, whether you can escape or not, all depends on your own destiny."

Tu Zilu frowned, "If you don't talk about reciprocity and mutual benefit, are you just reciprocating?"

Zhou Xiaodu reflected for a moment and realized that this seemed to be a bit inconsistent, so he said, "Let's just consider it and pay for the wine." The last time the two of them went out for a drink, it was Tu Zilu's invitation.

After finishing speaking, she felt that this statement was quite convincing, and nodded twice in self-affirmation.

"What kind of drink money?" Tu Zilu was confused.

Zhou Xiaodu did not answer, but stood up, patted the dust on his knees, made a farewell gesture, and prepared to leave.

Tu Zilu quickly stopped the man in black, "Hey, when will you come again?"

Zhou Xiaodu looked down at Tu Zilu who was holding on to the railing and replied: "It will come when it comes."

"Now, why don't you stop playing riddles with me?" Tu Zilu was so anxious that he wanted to yell at her.

Zhou Xiaodu shrugged his shoulders in a mysterious manner and walked away.

She took the opportunity to visit Mrs. Tu in another cell. However, in one day, Tu Yuanxiang lost a lot of weight, and there were many white hairs on her head, making her very haggard.

The woman sat in the corner of the cell, her eyes dull, crying and laughing, and talking nonsense in her mouth: "I will kill you, kill you, eat your flesh, drink your blood, haha... Nannan

, Mom, hug me, my daughter is so good... It’s Mom who’s sorry for you, Mom is wrong..."

Zhou Xiaodu felt a little emotional: Tu Zilu was not crazy yet, but her mother went crazy first.

She didn't know that Tu Yuanxiang was already suffering from some madness, and after this change, he would naturally have another attack.

Even if Sheng Fengren is not dead, the hatred between Sheng Yuchi and Tu and her daughter will be difficult to resolve. The ending of Tu and her daughter will most likely end up in an embarrassing situation.

The more pitiful people are, the more difficult it is to let go of themselves. Their bodies are immersed in suffering, swollen, and so heavy that they cannot climb ashore.

Zhou Xiaodu felt sad, but he didn't stay long and quickly left the dungeon.

…

The new gardener was in place the next day, and a new confidant was promoted to Sheng Yuchi. Although everyone was doubtful about the disappearance of the Tu family, they did not pay too much attention to it.

Nothing in the Sheng Mansion seemed to have changed. The assassination that night was like a small episode, and it only took a moment to get back on track.

】

Sheng Yuqing said to Zhou Xiaodu: "After all this time, I still don't like it here." Even though it was magnificent and full of people coming and going, he even felt it was not as good as the cold and ruined temple where he lived.

Zhou Xiaodu didn't take it seriously and said, "You won't stay here forever."

"Then where will we go from now on?" He propped up his cheeks and looked at her with bright eyes.

Zhou Xiaodu threw a candied date into his mouth and said lazily: "Who knows?"

Two days later, Zhou Xiaodu discovered that a carriage was quietly sent out of Sheng Mansion.

She felt something was wrong, so she followed him and saw the carriage driving all the way towards the east city gate. After exiting the city gate, it dropped a person on the official road, and then ran away without caring.

And the person who was left behind was Mrs. Tu.

Mrs. Tu still looked crazy and wandered on the official road for a long time. Suddenly she saw a passerby holding a little girl in his hand, so she rushed forward and pulled her, "Nanny, Nanny, go home with my mother-in-law.

Mom will steam buns for you..."

The little girl was frightened by her and cried out to hide. When the little girl's parents saw this, they were furious and pushed Tu Yuanxiang to the ground, "Where did you come from, this crazy woman? Get away!"

Mrs. Tu's fat body fell to the ground, and she didn't know if she hit her lumbar spine. She moaned and couldn't get up.

Zhou Xiaodu watched for a long time and had no choice but to go over and help her. Only then did he hear her moaning and calling "Aniang".

Zhou Xiaodu helped her sit aside and asked her where she fell. She just said: "It hurts. It hurts. Mom, please take Xiangxiang home."

Zhou Xiaodu grinned, "How can I hold you?"

She fumbled to help Tu Yuanxiang to straighten her ridge. Tu Yuanxiang cried loudly in pain. Zhou Xiaodu felt upset and threatened: "If you cry again, I will leave you here and ignore you." She stopped then.

Crying, covering her mouth, looking at her in fear.

Zhou Xiaodu later found a medical clinic, left five taels of silver, and asked the doctor to cure her madness and then release her.

When he walked out of the hospital, Zhou Xiaodu felt that the radiance of a saint in him was so bright that it could outshine the sun... But it was hard to leave Tu Yuanxiang to catch children on the official road.

Sheng Yuchi didn't know which muscle he had changed, but he mercifully spared Tu Yuanxiang. You know, Tu Yuanxiang was the one who planned to kill him, and he was so determined to retaliate that he actually let him go.

I just don’t know how Tu Zilu is doing.
