Qiu'er watched her eating silently and suddenly said: "When you finish eating, come back with me."
Qingqing was stunned: "Where are you going?"
"Tiankeju is not a long-term place, especially with the young hero's temperament... Why don't you go back to Xuan Ming's General's Mansion with me? At least it's a place to stay, and Mr. Ruo won't be too embarrassed."
After listening to Qiu'er's words, Qingqing realized that he was truly wandering on the streets now with nowhere to go. But General Shen and Mr. Ruo could be considered colleagues for a few pages. "Lin Qing" hid quietly, fearing that he would cause a lot of trouble for Xuan Ming and Qiu'er.
Thinking of this, Qing Qing shook his head and said: "No. I'm used to wandering around. It's not a big deal if I don't return to heaven alone. But if Mr. Ruo knows, General Shen will inevitably get into trouble..."
"Oh, you don't have to worry about this." Qiu'er felt very confident when Qingqing mentioned Mr. Ruo, "My husband agreed to take the young hero back with me. Although I don't really understand the gentleman from Tiankeju either." What is the relationship with the generals, but I always feel that Mr. Ruo doesn’t dare to bully our generals casually!"
Seeing Qiu'er speaking so sincerely, Qingqing couldn't refuse, but he couldn't help but smile bitterly. Qiu'er's frankness and sincerity were rare in this ever-changing world. Mr. Ruo didn't dare to bully several generals? It's just because the generals were so thin before taking charge that they were able to get three points.
Nowadays, West Lake almost dominates the world, who can surpass Mr. Ruo’s contribution?
Qingqing glanced at Qiu'er, and Qiu'er's watery eyes sparkled in the moonlight, very clear. So Qingqing didn't want to explain the truth to Qiu'er, but stood up, clapped her hands and said:
"Then I will ask General Shen and his wife to take him in tonight. But Qing Qing cannot stay too long. I will find another place to go tomorrow morning."
"Then...okay." Qiu'er pouted, looking unhappy.
There was a bit of drizzle in the sky that day, but people were still coming and going in Tianke Juli. The two disciples who came back to report the news didn't even have time to hold an umbrella, so they hurried into Ren Siyuan's room:
"Brother!"
"What's so urgent?" Siyuan raised his head from the pile of trivial matters and said, "Speak slowly."
"Back to senior brother, the two of us were working early this morning. We went to clean up the mess in the Zhang family's courtyard in the southwest corner... but when we counted the number of people, we found that there were two missing."
"Oh? What's going on!"
"The Zhang family is a big family." Another disciple said, "There are many servants coming and going on weekdays. There are fifty-four people in the family. Even the old woman who sweeps the floor and does odd jobs has some magic skills. So when Junior Brother Wang and I went there today, we paid special attention... Who would have thought that based on the number of people we knew before, there were indeed only fifty-two corpses."
"Fifty-two?" Siyuan couldn't help but frowned, "Who are those two?"
"The couple were here, but their throats were slashed by a sword at the same time. There was only one child in that family, but he was missing. There was another person whose identity I didn't know. I guessed that he was a servant in that family. Followed and disappeared."
Hearing this, Siyuan couldn't help but slap the table: "Confused!"
When he learned that there were fewer people assigned to the job, but he didn't realize it until broad daylight two days later, Ren Siyuan couldn't help but get angry. He just remembered that he was not a senior disciple of Tiankeju, but just a senior disciple. He was just doing it for himself. At this time, he was reprimanding the two junior brothers in front of him. If it spread, everyone would be dissatisfied. So Siyuan sat down again and asked in a gentler tone:
"The Zhang family's courtyard is large and luxurious. Have you ever looked carefully?"
"I've found them all..." When the junior brother saw Siyuan angry, he was also a little frightened, "Inside and out, even the chicken coop was turned out. But there are no living people and no dead bodies. Senior brother, don't you think you are an adult?
Did you run away with the child?"
Hearing this, Siyuan himself could not help but raise his eyebrows with suspicion. It stands to reason that if Tiankeju's disciples were killed when they went out, they would have noticed it when they counted the number of people that night. If someone ran away while dispatching work,
The disciples should report back as soon as possible, so as not to find out when someone else went to clean up the body two days later. Siyuan vaguely felt that he had forgotten something, so he just asked them to bring in Senior Brother Zhao, who was in charge of registering the roster.
Zhao Siyang didn't even bother to put on half a stick of incense, so he came running with whispers, but he took out a clean roster from his soaked clothes, stepped forward and said:
"Senior Brother Ren, the assignments for these days are all arranged fifteen days in advance. The names from last month to the middle of next month are all arranged here."
Siyuan said "Thank you", and couldn't wait to take it and read it. It was until he turned to last night's name that Siyuan stood up straight and stared closely at the neat lines of small words:
On the night of August 14th, the 15th year of the Lunar New Year, the fifty-fourth Linghu Qingqing in the Zhang Family Courtyard
Seeing Senior Brother Ren frowning, Si Yang couldn't help but asked cautiously: "Senior Brother, on which day did something go wrong at work?"
"See for yourself." Siyuan weakly spread the name list on the table, "Who did you send on August 14th?"
Zhao Siyang couldn't remember what happened fifteen days ago. When Siyuan asked, he had to pick up a thick stack of names on the table and turn to the page Siyuan was looking at just now. But he scanned it slightly.
At one glance, Si Yang quickly rolled up his sleeves and bowed to the ground:
Seeing that his junior brother was so frightened, Siyuan waved his hands and sighed: "You are not to blame for this matter. Yesterday, August 15th, things happened for a reason, and I was not paying attention. Where is Young Master Linghu now? Do you know?
"
Si Yang shook his head: "Maybe sir will know."
You can't ask Mr. Ruo about this matter. Siyuan knew it in his heart, so he closed his eyes and put his hands on his temples. If Qingqing really left and went somewhere he shouldn't have gone, then the spider web extending in all directions in Tiankeju will definitely
Got the news yesterday.
Now that there is no news about this living person, it must be the tacit consent of my husband to keep this news airtight.
Those outsiders who had disobeyed discipline and escaped secretly were all caught and brought back by the disciples of Tiankeju, and then treated to half-dead ends by Mr. Qingqing. Where did Qingqing go for a while, which could make Mr. Ruo temporarily
After suppressing the news, Siyuan couldn't think of it for a moment.
But Ren Siyuan clearly understood one thing in his heart. What he wanted to do was not to find out where Qingqing had gone -
In other words, it doesn't matter whether Linghu Qingqing is anywhere in the world. What matters is where the husband really wants this person to be.
As one of the disciples who grew up with Mr. Ruo, Siyuan knew Mr. Ruo's habits very well. So he turned to Zhao Siyang and ordered: "Junior brother, Senior Sister An is still injured and can't get up. Please go ahead."
Pass an order for me - from now on, there will be no news about the Linghu clan in Tiankeju. The only external news is that the entire Linghu clan was exterminated on Lirong Mountain, leaving no one alive."
Si Yang hesitated slightly, but still responded loudly: "Yes!"
What Ren Siyuan imagined was that the two people who were released by Qing Qing on the night of August 14th almost brought about the consequences of dynasty change in Miyu West Lake. Perhaps it can only be blamed on the rapid changes in this world, and the Baiyun Canggu incident was too complicated.
So much so that the whole Tiankeju only calmed down when the storm was about to come.
Qingqing killed fifty-two members of the Zhang family early in the morning on the 15th, so the corpses in the house were poured down by the rain all day. If Tian Keju noticed it too early, it would make it look like there was no silver in this place.
One hundred taels, for nothing, arouses suspicion. As expected, late at night during the Mid-Autumn Festival, a familiar scream came from next door to the Zhang family.
In the early morning of the 16th, two disciples from Tiankeju discovered that two people from the Zhang family were missing on the pretext of investigating the scene. On the same day, Linghu Yishi disappeared and was nowhere to be found again.
It was already the 20th, and the scorching sun made Ren Siyuan unable to lift his spirits. It was clearly a rainy season, but the sun didn't even say hello, and it cleared up immediately. Now he carries Senior Sister An's gift on his shoulders.
As Siyuan was busy and worried about the burden, he gradually forgot about what happened to Qingqing a few days ago.
The husband didn't blame me, it was just that he guessed his thoughts correctly this time.
But in the middle of the sleepy morning, an old man and a young man suddenly came to Tiankeju, and they rushed in through the door without thinking. The old man was dressed as a peasant woman, wearing a tattered coat, and his cuffs were frayed.
It looked like it had been gnawed by a dog a long time ago. The thin coat had been stained somewhere. It was covered in filth and mud, and even the hair and face were sticky. I don't know what was stuck on it.
And the old woman was holding a girl in her hand, with her fingers in her mouth, and her face was covered in mucus.
But the two of them dressed up like this and rushed into Tiankeju in a daze. The disciple guarding the door quickly stopped her: "Auntie, what are you doing?"
"What are you doing?" The old woman stared, "Let me ask you, what do you do here?"
"Of course I'm keeping the people of West Lake safe..."
"Safe?" The old woman didn't know why. She jumped up and poked the disciple in the forehead with a finger. "I'm telling you! It's because of you being a guest in West Lake that so many troubles have arisen! You guys have no conscience.
, you have done all the bad things, how can you say peace!"
When the disciple heard this, he panicked. Tian Keju had a lot of lives on his hands, but none of them were unreasonable and domineering. Why did the peasant woman on the street start to curse? He heard the words in the old woman's mouth.
It became more and more unpleasant to listen to, and the two disciples, a man and a woman, couldn't help but stop her words and said sternly: "Old lady, you can file a complaint, but there must be a reason!"
"That's right! I'm just here to complain, so that people all over the world in West Lake will know about the bad things you Tian Keju did!" The old woman was tired of scolding, but she still took a breath, and then pointed to the door.
He said, "Who is that gentleman of yours? Tell him to come out!"
This shout frightened the two disciples at the door, who looked at each other in confusion. They were both guessing what the origin of this seemingly powerless woman was. Logically speaking, Mr. Ruo's name
The name is known to everyone in the rivers and lakes, and even the two heads of Xihu respect it very much. But what kind of confusion did this old woman make that she asked Mr. Ruo to come out to see him by name?
The rules of the Tianke residence are very strict, and you must not touch a hair of ordinary people easily. The two of them are not driving her away now, nor are they going in to report to the husband. Seeing that the woman's shouting attracts more and more passers-by, the two of them are really
Don't know what to do.
When the old woman saw that the two paid no attention to her, she suddenly fell to the ground with a "plop", sat on the stone road with the child, and slapped the ground with both hands:
"There is no justice! The people in Tiankeju are killing people without repaying their lives!"
As expected, this call attracted a lot of onlookers. When the two disciples saw more and more people coming, they were worried that they would not be able to explain clearly, so the female disciple sternly said: "How can you trust your dirty talk in broad daylight!" Who would have known that?
The lady was not afraid at all, she just kept shouting: "Whoever comes, take a look! Tian Keju killed our whole family, and only this child is left! My old woman is helpless!"
"Nonsense!" Seeing that the junior sister was about to argue with the woman, another disciple hurriedly grabbed her and then reached out to help the old woman: "Old man, the ground is too cold. Get up first, don't hurt your body!"
"Fake it!" The old woman still had quite a lot of strength, and she broke free from the young man's hand, "Just now you were so indifferent to me, an old woman, why are you afraid now? Let us
Let’s see how many families in West Lake are together to see if there is any justice left in this world!”
Then he couldn't stop wailing: "It's murder! Tian Keju killed someone without repaying his life!"
The disciple had no choice but to turn back to his junior sister and said in a low voice: "I'll be here to guard you. Go find Mr. Ruo!"
