I am fish

A Lai withdrew his hand from the river and stared at the big boat.

The shape of the boat was wide and short, on the bow a strange man in a gray robe with a long beard looked down at Alai with his hands behind his back, he looked like he was in his early forties.When the boat approached, the person asked loudly:

"Little lady, did you sleep soundly?"

Alai scanned around, there were no signs or decorations on the ship, and he couldn't guess which clan the ship belonged to.There is a square imprint on the left side of the hull that is slightly lighter in color than other places. It must be that the gentry logo was taken off not long ago. It seems that the other party intends to conceal their identity.

A Lai stared at the other party and asked, "Who are you? Where is my mother? Where did you take me?"

The man in the gray robe lightly twisted his long beard and smiled, "Your mother is safe, so don't worry, little lady. If you are obedient, I will let you and your mother go."

Ah Lai calmed down after hearing what he said, and asked, "Tell me who you are first? What do you want me to do?"

The gray-robed man cupped his hands to the sky: "I am a small subordinate official under Sun Mingyi of Qixian County, and my name is not worth mentioning. The county gentleman has been upright and diligent in serving the people all his life, but he ended up like this. The Xie family is sinister and vicious. Retrograde, it is not a pity that heaven and man die in anger! I want you to assassinate Suichuan prefect Xie Taihang!"

A Lai didn't pay attention to him at all after listening to him, instead he snorted.

The man in the gray shirt asked, "What are you laughing at?"

A Lai supported the canopy and raised his face with a smile:

"You are not from Sun Mingyi at all. Sun Mingyi is from Wuzhang's clan, and among the officials he brought with him are fellow Wuzhang fellows who have followed him for many years. Although they have been in Qi County for five or six years, their accent is hard to change. Sun Mingyi brought his subordinates here Qi County has been informed of the details since the beginning, and everyone in Qi County knows about it. And your accent is from Suichuan Zhu County, which is exactly the same as Aunt Lin in Xie's Mansion. How can you be an official of Sun Mingyi? Furthermore, If you really want to avenge Sun Xianzun, the value of Xie’s parents and daughters is far higher than mine, why not hold Ah Xun and threaten Xie’s family. Xie Taihang values ​​Ah Xun the most, and he will definitely be able to force him to submit. Bind me as a member of Xie’s family What's the use of fleeing slaves? Isn't it just throwing away the root and chasing the end? What's more, although my mother and I had a plan to escape, we never mentioned it to anyone, and the plan changed with the passing of Uncle Dong, and the route we took later was also temporary. Intention. Being able to capture us shows that you have planned and followed all the way. If Sun Mingyi's people can have this ability, they will not end up being framed and thrown out of office and sent to Beijing for punishment. These flaws are obvious, but you have never covered it up. It seems that your master told you to test me. Is there something wrong with what I said?"

A Lai pressed every sentence, and the gray-robed man smiled instead of anger: "Hahahahahaha, you are really eloquent and quick, you are right." He turned and shouted to the cabin, "Sir, you really chose the right person The little lady is very alert, maybe she can really take on this important task."

Following his laughter, two more people walked out of the cabin. The person walking in front was wearing a long-sleeved gray coat with dark patterns, with a thin face and white beard. .

Alai recognized this person.

Mr. Yunmeng!

And the person standing behind him surprised her even more, it was Xie Taihang!

"You..." After being surprised, Alai reflected for a while. Amu and them seemed to have dealt with them a long time ago. Although the cause of the change is unknown, it is not unbelievable.

Xie Taihang was dressed in a black cloak and a fox fur hat, laughing in the cold wind, looking at Alai with an extremely strange kindness in his eyes.

"Worthy of being my daughter. Since I was a child, I have seen that you are a weapon of Hulian. I left you in the Xie Mansion to carefully polish you. Finally, you have lived up to my father's painstaking efforts. I am very pleased for my father."

Compared with their appearance, Xie Taixing's words were even more strange when he came up.Let alone praise for more than ten years, this Xie Taixing has never looked at her in the eye, so which song is he singing now?

Although he didn't understand Xie Taixing's intention, but seeing that this game was planned by him, it can be seen that Ah Xun is not in danger, A Lai felt a little relieved.

"My aunt is in your hands. What do you want?" A Lai already felt that something was wrong, and there must be a conspiracy to be courteous for nothing.

"I want you to kill someone, and that person is naturally not me."

"Who is that person?"

"My surname is Wei and my name is Zizhuo."

"What does this person look like?"

"I don't know."

"Where is this person?"

"I don't know."

"Don't know how to kill him?" Alai said, "And I haven't killed anyone before, so I won't go."

Alai refused very heartily and mercilessly. Xie Taixing had expected that she would say this a long time ago, without any sign of anger at all, he still smiled and said: "My son, don't worry, listen to Weifu. Have you ever heard of it?" The name of the Pingcangwei family?"

"No."

"Let me tell you in detail for my father. The Pingcang Wei family is the most powerful clan in Pingcang County. So far, it has been deeply rooted. The four generations and three princes of the Wei family clan are in the same position. When the first emperor was already powerful, he used his power in the court to ignore the emperor's rebellion. Help each other, want to abolish the emperor and seize the world. Da Yu Qingliu, including the Xie family, will never let these witches do what they want. But the Wei family is treacherous and has many advisers and assassins, and his son Wei Zizhuo is the core of the Wei family's plan Removing this person will greatly weaken the power of Wei's party. But Wei Zizhuo is haunted by ghosts and has no fixed place. No one has seen his true face so far... No, someone should have seen him. We Qingliu faction have worked hard I sent the dead to him to try to assassinate him, but the mystery is that no one, no matter what their appearance or status, was exposed by Wei Zizhuo, and everyone who saw him was killed."

Wei Zizhuo is cruel and eccentric by nature, and his behavior is out of line with ordinary people.Mr. Yunmeng's nephew, Bochao, went through untold hardships to get close to him a year ago as an aide. Unexpectedly, he fell short when he was only one step away from seeing his true face, and was tortured to death by his minions. "

"Wheel punishment?" Alai was puzzled.

"This punishment is inhumane. It locks the limbs of the person on the ground, smashes all the bones and meridians with a hammer until they are rotten, and then binds them to giant spokes, and places them naked outside in the sun or in the cold. Birds, insects and ants will gnaw his flesh and blood, and the torturer will feed him water and rice. Although the tortured person is in great pain, he cannot die immediately until he is half-baked and conscious. This behavior is no different from that of a demon!"

"How do you know that he was tortured to death?"

Xie Taixing was full of righteous indignation when he spoke, he totally didn't expect her to ask such a question, he was at a loss for words.Before he could answer, Alai guessed: "Oh... so you actually sent more than one person at a time, maybe two spies approached Wei Zizhuo at the same time, one more person would give more hope, right? People are successful and they can support each other. If one of them is killed, the other can also tip off the news. The most important thing is that spies are usually hidden, and it takes a lot of trouble to find out. When I came out, I instinctively felt relaxed after a hard battle, and it was hard to think that the spies around me hadn't been killed yet."

Xie Taixing interrupted her with a frown: "Those who eliminate rape and punish evil are not spies, they should be called righteous men."

Alai shrank his shoulders: "I don't want to be a spy or a righteous man, and I'm not interested in killing people. I just want to live in peace with my mother. Where did you hide my mother?"

Xie Taihang and Mr. Yunmeng looked at each other, Mr. Yunmeng touched his nose, Xie Taihang turned around and continued patiently:

"Alai, this matter has nothing to do with the country and society!"

"I'm just a yellow-mouthed child, I can only play tricks."

"Don't you care about Da Yu's life and death?!"

"Don't care about it."

"Don't you even listen to your father's words!"

Hearing this, A Lai gasped, feeling extremely ridiculous: "My father became ill from overwork six years ago and traveled westward, but I always remember that when he passed away, Mr. Xie refused to enter Xie's mansion even with a thin coffin. I thought the coffin was bad luck, and even my mother and I were not allowed to carry his body in the Xie Mansion. This matter has been stalemate for many days, it was midsummer, and the smell of my father's body is still fresh in my memory."

"It's really too picky for you to dig through these old accounts now. He is just a slave of my Xie family. He has already been sold into my family. He is at my disposal for life, old age, sickness and death. What's wrong? After all, I am your biological father. It’s my Xie Taihang’s blood. ‘The Polygonum is the one, the bandit is the Yihao. I mourn my parents, and gave birth to me.’ In order to train you these years, being a father has indeed treated you a little colder, but the love of flesh and blood is irreplaceable A Lai, if the Wei family does not get rid of Wei Zizhuo's immortality, Da Yu will be overthrown sooner or later. The nest will be destroyed and the eggs will be broken. At that time, you, your mother, and even A Xun will not be spared. Is this the ending you want to see? After the matter is successful, you will be my daughter of a certain Xie, and you can also enter the Xie family tree, and in the future, my father will also select a good marriage for you."

A Lai remained silent, her gaze fell on the iron locks that bound her.

She should have discovered earlier that this iron lock also came from the Xie Mansion, it was the iron chain Xie Suishan used to tie the dog.

Xie Taixing's rhetoric is sweet, but what he has done these years is completely different.Flesh and blood?Father?No, Xie Taihang never was.

A Lai understands that his existence is a shame.It is the most authentic evidence that Xie Taihang insulted her mother while taking advantage of her mother's injury.

In order to protect his son, this person actually framed Zhongliang, his words must not be believed.What Xie's family tree, Xianren's marriage is just a cage for cannibalism, she has never cared about it, let alone be trapped in it.What's more, if she can get away with it by luck, how can Xie Taixing keep her in the world.

The only thing that made her worry about the whole thing was Kaoru.If Ah Xun is in trouble in the future, she will definitely fight with her life to save her.

Having figured this out, Alai raised his head indifferently, shook the iron chain under his feet, and intentionally let it make a harsh sound.

"The matter of your thanking the family has nothing to do with me."

A very direct refusal that leaves no room.

When the two looked at each other, Xie Taixing withdrew his loving eyes, the earnest words just now were really just a play.

He stopped talking, waved his wide sleeves and snorted coldly, the atmosphere changed suddenly.

Mr. Yunmeng walked up from him, and two strong men followed his steps and dragged one out of the cabin.

That person is Xiao Shi.

"Mom!" Seeing Grandma suddenly, Ah Lai screamed heart-piercingly, almost swallowed by the pain of broken bones.

Xiao's long hair was disheveled and her body was weak, the two dragged her out and threw her on the bow of the boat.

One arm dangled in the air, and a horrible blood hole on her forehead seemed to be still bleeding.Before being dragged out, Xiaoshi had been in a deep coma, and only regained some consciousness when he hit the ship plank.

Hearing Alai's voice calling her vaguely, Xiao slowly raised his head with all his strength, and saw his daughter on the lonely boat.The chapped and bloody lips moved, but he had no strength to speak.

"What are you doing!" Alai was furious.The lone boat and the boat are within fifty steps. If there is no iron lock, she will be able to fly into the boat in one step, and beat Xie Taihang and others to hell, "Shameless! Let my mother go!"

Mr. Yunmeng stood behind Xiaoshi completely unmoved, staring at Alai with cloudy and gloomy eyes in his blue-black eye sockets:

"To kill, or not to kill."

A Lai couldn't answer for a while, Mr. Yunmeng's eyelids sank, a strong man knelt down and grabbed Xiao's hand, pushed a support finger into her fingers, and forced her to open her five fingers.

Before Alai opened his mouth to stop, another strong man drew out his dagger and squatted down suddenly, cutting off Xiaoshi's little finger.
