happy day

Wu Luan was exhausted and dejectedly returned to the house outside the east wall of the Hou Mansion. Yun Jue was feeding the goldfish in the courtyard, his slender fingers were slightly closed, holding the vermilion fish food, and sprinkled little by little on the half-person-high mountain-water pattern. In a porcelain jar.The half-foot-long koi in the tank opened their mouths and rushed to swim over.

He was wearing a bamboo green cloth robe, without any pattern or decoration, and there was only a rosewood hairpin on his head, half of his hair was half tied up, and the rest was draped over his shoulders.Dressed in such a casual way, he is so handsome that he is not like ordinary people, and there is no trace of fireworks all over his body.

Wu Luan walked over and hugged him from behind, and buried her face in his shoulder.The faint fragrance on his body instantly soothed Wu Luan's restless and depressed mood, and his heart became peaceful and settled down.

"How's the situation in the Liu family?" Yun Jue's voice came from behind, resonating with his chest, which seemed extremely deep and deep.

"Liu Chen committed suicide by taking poison in prison, the Liu manor was sealed off, and the Liu family's property was confiscated." Wu Luan said dryly.

Suicide by taking poison?No wonder the red line on his wrist disappeared.Yun Jue threw all the fish food in his hand into the fish tank, and subconsciously stroked his right wrist.

Yun Jue also breathed a sigh of relief.Although I don't know how many days the two of them will be together now, since Yun Jue was really moved, he wholeheartedly planned for Wu Luan and valued his thoughts.

Wu Luan is a person who values ​​love and righteousness, and has always respected Liu Yushi, the former father-in-law. What's more, Wu Luan felt that he owed the Liu family even more in the matter of retiring the engagement.If one day Wu Luan knew that it was Yun Jue who killed Liu Chen, there would be a gap between the two of them. , now that Liu Chen commits suicide, it saves him from having to do it himself.

Wu Luan from behind sighed, "The good Liu family just broke up like this, but when something happened, I was so concerned about my own happiness that I didn't even extend my hand, and now I have no face to see the Liu family."

Yun Jue knew that he was upset, so he turned around and hugged him, stroking his back, "What do you want me to do?"

Just as Wu Luan was about to shake his head, he paused again, thinking: "There is really something I can only ask for your help. Yiru took his mother and his sister to live in the Tongfu Inn. The place is very cramped and uninhabitable. I have a house in Jinyu Hutong, which is fairly clean and tidy, and no one knows that it is in my name. But if I give it to them in the early stage, Yiru will definitely not live in it. I am not good at letting those If you go to friends with wine and meat, they are not people who handle affairs. Moreover, although those people are not familiar with Ruru, they all know them. The most important thing is that I don't want people in the court to know about this matter, because it is easy to leak the wind."

Yun Jue asked: "You want me to come forward and give them the house in Jinyu Alley?"

"You can't either." Wu Luan shook his head, "Yi Ru is the most arrogant person. With your relationship with me, he will never accept your things. Do you have someone you trust who can handle this matter? , it’s best to think of a way that can be done in a natural way, without leaking. It’s good to let the Liu family move into the house without hurting their face.”

This is a bit difficult.Yun Jue thought for a while, "Okay, leave this matter to me. I will ask my cousin Yunshang to approach Mrs. and Miss Liu's family as an embroiderer. The communication between women's families is easier to conceal, so it will not Make Liu Yiru suspicious."

"Great! This method is the most natural." Wu Luan finally breathed a sigh of relief, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, "Besides, Liu's family is living in a difficult situation. If the female relatives can sell some embroidery, they can also supplement the family income, and Yiru doesn't have to." You have taken so much trouble to make a living. You asked your cousin to help send some silver taels to the Liu family in the name of selling embroidery. But please don't let Liu Yiru find out!"

Wu Luan is a careful person, he is worried about the Liu family's livelihood, but it's not good to give money directly, Liu Yiru definitely doesn't want it, and will beat him out.It would be a practical and good idea to let the female members of the Liu family sell embroidery work to earn money, and the money could be given away in a discreet way.

"Okay, do as you say." Yun Jue said warmly.

Yun Jue was also a little helpless, Wu Luan was just like this, on the surface he was the most reckless second-generation patriarch in the capital, but in fact he was soft and gentle in his heart.Know how to put yourself in other people's shoes, would rather suffer a loss and be wronged, and take other people's face into consideration.Sometimes Yun Jue thinks that Wu Luan is stupid, doing things that are thankless, but this fool has attracted him deeply, and it is really a bad relationship, probably because he owed him in his previous life.

Yun Jue accepted Wu Luan's commission and went to Xiuzhuang to find Yunshang, and said bluntly, "To do something for my brother, you approach the family as an embroidery lady and let them live in a house in Jinyu Alley. What to do Be natural and don't make people suspicious."

Yun Chang blinked narrowly, "Could it be that my brother fell in love with a girl and wanted to please his future sister-in-law, but he didn't dare to say it himself?"

Yun Jue patted Yun Chang's head, "If you are told to go, you can go. Where did all these gossips come from. There is a girl, but it has nothing to do with me."

Yunshang became interested, "Which family's girl? What's her name? Is she dignified and beautiful? Can she be worthy of her brother? My brother said that sister has nothing to do with you, but Ru'er doesn't believe it."

Yun Jue was lazy to gossip about his younger sister, "It's Liu Yushi, Liu Chen's wife and a pair of children, Liu Yihan and Liu Yiru. Liu Chen is dead, and my assassination mission has also been cancelled. I was also entrusted to take care of his family. The Liu family is somehow related to me. I agreed. But you have to remember, don't mention my name to them, and don't mention our relationship. Otherwise, the Liu family will kick you out. You can just go to Liu Yihan, don't let Liu Yiru Seeing you. He met me. Although we don’t look very similar, we are brothers and sisters after all. Careful people can’t guarantee that they won’t see the clues.”

Yun Shang was already infatuated when she heard Liu Yiru's name.Yun Jue waved his hand in front of her eyes, "Did you hear what I said?"

"Listen, I heard it." Yun Chang came back to her senses, turned her back to her brother, and tried her best to purse her lips but couldn't melt the smile on her lips.

***************

In the middle of the night, thick fog filled the woods outside Changzhou City, the sky and the earth were in chaos, the full moon looked desolate and hazy in the thick fog, the shadows of the trees were shadowy, and the branches stretching out into the air were like hideous strange hands.

Two people, a man and a woman, walked in the mist.The man was in his 30s, wearing a black robe and a girdle of the same color around his waist, making him look even taller and slender.He moved his body stiffly, as if his joints were rusted.

The woman was wearing a long bright red dress with irises embroidered on it, holding a red oil-paper umbrella, like a ghost in the lingering mist.

"It should be here." The man pointed to the open space under the tree, and then stiffly waved the shovel to dig a hole on the ground.

After digging for a while, seeing that the woman was just idly staying aside, the man couldn't help being furious and said: "Smelly woman, if you don't want to stay in the woods overnight, come here and help."

The woman complained, "Damn ghost, we have traveled thousands of miles from Xiaoyu Pavilion to come here without stopping for a moment. With such a thick fog, if you have to go to this wilderness to dig dead people, why can't you wait until the fog clears before dawn?"

The man raised his pale and blue face, "Smelly woman, how many times have I told you, don't call me a 'dead ghost', it's very unlucky!"

The woman giggled, especially in the silent night, "Your dead face is like being dug out of the soil after being dead for several days. Are you afraid of bad luck?"

The man's joints were rattling, as if he would jump up and tear the woman apart at any moment.

The woman was not afraid either, she simply sat on a tree stump with her chin resting on her shoulders, smiling charmingly and sinisterly, "If you don't call me 'stinky bitch', of course I won't call you 'dead ghost'."

The man snorted and continued digging.

After a while, the woman got bored, so she came over to help, "Ling Si, but a killer died, why are you nervous? He may have eaten a bad stomach, died of illness? Or maybe he was bored, and he Did you wipe your neck?"

Ling Si's face was ashen, "Ah Jiu, it's the rule of our Xiaoyu Pavilion that 'you must see people when you are alive, and you must see corpses when you are alive'. Besides, because of the failure of the twelve assassinations, the pavilion has to accompany a large sum of money. Compensation, adding a huge amount of silver to the second assassination. The pavilion master asked you and me to see why Twelve failed to complete the task and how he died. As the guardians of the pavilion, we naturally have to make this trip. "

The woman named Ah Jiu curled her lips impatiently, "Ling Si, you don't have to use the rules of the pavilion and the owner of the pavilion to suppress me. Twelve is also a killer who can be ranked in the pavilion, and he can be so silently Kill? Even if you can't fight, don't you have the ability to escape?"

The two dug the ground while arguing with each other, and a deep pit more than one meter deep appeared on the ground.Ah Jiu stretched out a red silk handkerchief from the armhole and wiped the sweat on his forehead, "Are you sure it's here?"

Ling Si took out a box wrapped in copper from his bosom, and he didn't know what was in it, and the box made a "dong dong" sound when he bumped into it.

"No mistake!" Ling Si waved his shovel and continued digging, "The mother Gu has already sensed the child Gu, it should be below."

After digging down another two meters, a rotten face was exposed in the soil. Ah Jiu let out a "beep" and covered his mouth and nose with his sleeve.

The crashing sound in the copper box became louder, shaking the box so much.

I saw a bump on the forehead of the face on the ground, and the whole face was twisted and horrifying.

The bulge was getting bigger and bigger, and the skin was transparent.Finally, accompanied by splashes of thick green thick water, a colorful insect broke through the skin.

Ling Si hurriedly opened the copper box, the bug flew in, and the mother Gu in the box also quieted down.

"A stab in the back pierced the gap between the fourth and fifth spine, and a stab in the chest hit the heart. It was a fatal wound." Ling Si frowned and looked at Twelve's body. "Twelve should have been flanked by two people. Otherwise, with his kung fu, it would be impossible for him to be stabbed in the chest and back, and the person who killed him wouldn't go around and stab him in the front after he succeeded in the back. "

Ah Jiu hid far away, her fingers winding around her hair enchantingly, "It was done by an old hand, and he knew how to bury the body deep in the ground, which caused us to search for it for many days. Ling Si, what do you think?"

Ling Si's gray eyes were as emotionless as dead fish eyes, and he squinted and said, "If you ask me, it looks like it was done by my own people."
