take my life

The small ginkgo tree outside the window is about to lose its branches, clusters of yellow leaves are hugging each other for the last stand, but even if they all lose their leaves, the scene in the courtyard is still the same, there will always be countless golden fans When the leaves fall, there is no shortage of that splendor.

Ye Mingyou changed his clothes, finished his morning tea, and ordered his servants to bring the large box of gold, silver and jade.Last night, the old farm owner Ye ordered him to send gift money to the Shen family this morning, and he didn't know what kind of friendship he gave so much at once.

There were people coming and going in the market, passing through the busy market, one could see a circle of people around the entrance of Shen's house from a long distance away.This master of the Shen family was assassinated by the Tangmen killer just like himself, but he was a little luckier than him.I heard that when Master Shen's body was found the next day, his whole body was bleeding purple and black, and there was only a two-finger-long wound on his neck, and a green bamboo leaf fell beside him. Poisonous hidden weapon, Zhuyeqing.

But Shen Yi is a well-known "shunfeng ear" in Jianghu, who can hear the enemy from thousands of miles away, yet he was easily killed. It can be seen that the Tangmen killer is really powerful.Of course, people like Shen Yi deserve to die, he has a big family and a great career, but he is a master who bullies the weak, bullies the good and fears the evil, now that he is dead, the common people almost clap their hands and applaud.

Ye Mingyou squeezed into the crowd, and the onlookers immediately moved out of the way as soon as they saw the person.Ye Mingyou looked around, and hurriedly took a fan to cover his face and lowered his head to go in.No wonder my father refused to come in person, it was really embarrassing.

"Brother Mingyou!"

A familiar voice suddenly sounded outside the crowd, Ye Mingyou's body froze, and suddenly felt that one head was two big.He sighed silently, turned his head, and saw a white and slender figure walking towards this side, followed by two groups of fully armed guards, also carrying a large box of things.

The visitor came close to him, put his tender white hands on his body, panting heavily, his slightly powdered face was like suet white jade, but it was tinged with a blush from the trot just now, it was just right, ancient Blinking and blinking at Ye Mingyou with her almond eyes, her red lips parted slightly, and she sweetly called him "Brother Mingyou".The bones of those who call it are crisp.

The common people onlookers burst into flames, "Isn't this the eldest lady of General Qin's family? Why do you come to such a place?"

"Qin Ye's family is rich. I heard that the two families are getting married."

"Don't tell me, Mr. Ye and Miss Qin are really a perfect match!"

"Yes!"

Ye Mingyou helplessly covered his ears with a fan. He didn't know how the news of the marriage between the two families spread so quickly, but he didn't say anything when Qin Yunluo was happy. He just asked, "Yunluo, why are you here too? Why are you here?" How can such a thing make you, a girl, come forward, go back quickly."

Qin Yunluo flattened her mouth and made a grimace, "Brother Mingyou, I am the daughter of General Qin, different from other women! I want to share my father's worries!" Then she bounced into the room, and the result was Being caught by Ye Mingyou by the collar, Ye Mingyou knew that she couldn't hold back this girl, so she could only tell her: "Then you stay here, and they come in with me, you are not allowed to go anywhere, just wait for me obediently."

Qin Yunluo pursed her mouth in displeasure, lowered her head, wondering what the hell she was thinking in her mind, raised her face after a while, and said, "Okay then, come out quickly." Her big watery eyes looked I was a little wronged, but in order not to make brother Mingyou angry, I had no choice but to reluctantly agree.

Ye Mingyou tapped her on the head with a fan, and said with a smile, "Good boy."

Qin Yunluo's eyes widened instantly, and she blushed and nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.Ye Mingyou pretended not to see it, and ordered the two suitcase bearers to go in with them.

Shen Yi's mourning hall is located in the courtyard, surrounded by white banners, the leaves of the late autumn are about to fall, and when one looks up, it is covered with ashes, and the dark coffin has not been closed yet, and it has already been covered with a thin layer of soot.

There were a few domestic servants kneeling in front of the mourning hall, most of them were expressionless or sleepy with their eyes closed.In the past, I heard that Mr. Shen married eight beautiful wives, but now that the trees have fallen and the monkeys are scattered, in the end the only ones kneeling in front of his mourning hall are his wretched wives.

Ye Mingyou went over to put on a stick of incense, and when he leaned slightly, he could see the white mortuary clothes in the coffin, with black and red blood stains on it, and smelled the rotten smell mixed with the sandalwood in the incense burner , making people dizzy and dizzy, it seems that he died of poisoning.

Mrs. Shen saw someone coming from the Ye family, she took out a white handkerchief to wipe away her tears, her legs were a little unsteady when she stood up, Ye Mingyou supported her, and said: "Life and death are fate, Mrs. Shen's condolences."

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Shen threw her hand away, "Master Ye, if you have anything to say, you can just tell me, I never remember having anything to do with your Ye family." Mrs. Shen stared fiercely at her red and swollen eyes.

It turned out that since Shen Yi's death, the eight young ladies in the family turned the house upside down for their property, and took away everything they could. Now they are orphans and widows, and they can't afford the severance pay of the servants in the family. After finishing this trivial matter, the money was divided and everyone went their separate ways.But Shen Yi is usually domineering and domineering. Where did she make friends with anyone? They came here either to seek money or to take a fancy to something in the family. Today, the Ye family came to her house unexpectedly. She never remembered that the master and the Ye family were like this The big households have intersected before, and it is too late to hide usually.

"Madam Shen, can I take a step to speak?" Ye Mingyou made a gesture of invitation.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Shen didn't show his face at all, she pulled her face, "If you have anything, you can just talk about it here. If Young Master Ye didn't come to the door in person, I would have sent it to the wrong door as a gift."

Ye Mingyou knew that there would be such a result, and this woman might be pushed into a hurry.He clattered open the folding fan in his hand, leaned over to Mrs. Shen's ear and half covered his mouth, and said, "The two boxes of gifts are a wish from the Qin family and this villa, so Madam will accept it with peace of mind. I came here to ask Madam, but Want to know who the murderer of Master Shen is?"

Madam Shen's face turned pale when she heard this, she was afraid that she would offend too many people and take revenge on his wife and children in the future.She grabbed Ye Mingyou's sleeve with trembling hands, and knelt down with a plop, "Ye...Master Ye, my child is innocent! Save him!"

Ye Mingyou didn't expect her reaction to be so strong, and hurriedly pulled her up from the ground to draw a clear line with her. This made others see it, and thought that the dignified second young master of the Ye family was bullying a widow, "Madam Shen, please."

This time Mrs. Shen didn't hurt him anymore, she obediently took him to a place where no one was around, and said with a mournful face, "Master Ye, if you have anything to say, just say it."

Ye Mingyou felt happy, thought for a while and asked: "Madam Shen, you said the young master is innocent, why did you say that?"

"me……."

Seeing her faltering and refusing to speak, Ye Mingyou shook his fan again and continued: "I heard that when Mrs. Shen married Mr. Shen, her family was still in poverty. Later, Mr. Shen actually bought the big house of the Shen family within a few days. , This is something ordinary people can't buy in their lifetime, I don't know what kind of business Master Shen is doing?"

"I... I don't know, he refused to say, but said that if he has money, he will buy me beautiful clothes and jewelry. Now that it has become like this, it would be better if he had no money at the beginning!" The more Mrs. Shen spoke, the more sad she became, tears began to flow fall down.

"Then do you remember who he used to associate with?"

"This... I can't remember." Mrs. Shen lowered her head while talking.

Ye Mingyou knew that she was hiding something, and there must be an ulterior secret behind it. Shen Yi became rich overnight 20 years ago, which happened to be about the same time as the massacre of the Tang family 20 years ago, and Shen Yi died at the hands of the Tang family killer. Could this Tang family killer be related to the Tang family?It is rumored that the Tang family was involved with the Tang sect in Central Shu back then.

"It's okay if you don't tell me, I won't be able to help you then." Ye Ming waved his fan slowly, turned around and was about to leave.

"It's the second owner of Luomeizhuang!" Mrs. Shen suddenly grabbed him, and said with tears in the corner of her eyes: "It's not that I refused to tell the young master, but Shen Yi threatened me. If I dare to tell the truth, the whole family will die! "

Luomeizhuang...the second owner, Uncle Mei?Ye Mingyou couldn't believe it, how could Uncle Mei get involved with such a villain? "Only him?"

Mrs. Shen nodded, and sobbed softly, "He's the only one. It happened more than 20 years ago. I really don't know what they are doing behind the scenes."

"I see, I'm leaving." Ye Mingyou bowed his hands and hurried away after speaking.

Outside the door, Qin Yunluo kicked the pebbles under her feet in boredom. A light and elegant skirt was wrinkled by her, and she muttered angrily: "If you don't come out, I won't wait for you."

"This girl, dare to ask..."

"Stop! Who is it!" The guards around him swung across, blocking the way of a young man.

The man was wearing a long robe of water blue and white clouds, his hair was tied high, his eyebrows were slender and spirited, and a dazzlingly bright sword hung obliquely behind his back. He looked quite like a Taoist priest.

Qin Yunluo withdrew the guards and said politely: "The Taoist priest has something to say, please."

"My disciples from the Chunyang Sect have disturbed the girl. May I ask who died in the city today?" the man asked politely.

"You are new to Yangzhou City. He is a well-known villain in our Yangzhou. If he is dead, the people will be happy."

"Rogue? Is the girl talking about Senior Shen Yishen?" The man asked again.

"Yes, the young master knows him?"

"Yunluo, who are you talking to?" Ye Mingyou happened to come out from inside at this moment, and saw a man dressed like a Taoist priest talking to Qin Yunluo.

"Brother Mingyou!" Seeing him coming out, Qin Yunluo happily ran over to grab his arm.The Taoist also turned around when he heard the sound, and when he saw Ye Mingyou, he hurriedly turned his head and squeezed into the crowd.

Ye Mingyou stepped forward and grabbed his clothes, and dragged him back. He was worried that he couldn't be found, but he didn't expect that he would come to his door.

Qin Yunluo was confused, and pulled Ye Mingyou and said, "Brother Mingyou, he is a good man."

"Taoists also like to visit brothels?" Ye Mingyou asked with a smirk.

"Let go!" Chu Zeqi broke free from his hand and straightened his lapel.

"So you are a Taoist priest, are all Taoist priests as rich as you?"

"I'm not a Taoist priest, what do I... have nothing to do with you! Farewell!" Chu Zeqi didn't want to explain to him halfway through speaking, turned around and left.

"Slow down." Ye Mingyou stopped him, and the sword behind his back caught his attention.The silver light of the sword was piercing, and wherever it went, there was a faint cold air blowing against his face.He could tell at a glance that a pigeon's blood inlaid on the hilt of the sword light was priceless, the scabbard was carved with ripples like waves, and on the other side of the hilt, a ghost charm was clearly engraved.

All the famous swords in the rivers and lakes are included in the Famous Swords Record. Qianye Changsheng is the most famous sword in the world, followed by Jihai. "Sword God Record" has a saying: "The sword of longevity is the head of the sun in the world, and the extreme sea is the opposite. If you get one, you can split mountains and destroy rocks. Command the rivers and lakes. When two swords are combined, you can cut the world."What the Taoist priest is holding now is very likely to be one of the most yin swords.However, it has always been heard that the Extreme Sea Sword is hidden in the Lunjian Peak of Chunyang Palace in Huashan Mountain, and is controlled by Fang Zhujian, a sword sect of the Chunyang lineage. How could it be in the hands of an unknown junior? Could it be that he is also a hidden master?

"Dare to ask the long sword, but the Jihai sword?" Ye Mingyou asked him, looking at him.

"It is the master's sword. Although Jihai Sword is not as famous as Qianye Changsheng in the Jianghu, it is better than Qianye Changsheng." Chu Zeqi looked at him with disdain, and openly provoked.

"Do you know who I am?" Now it was Ye Mingyou's turn not to understand, since he knew who he was, why did he have to make trouble with him in the tavern that day, and let him make a fool of himself in public.

Chu Zeqi snorted coldly and said, "I came to Yangzhou City this time just to see the demeanor of everyone in Jianyi. I didn't expect..." At this point, he fell silent, didn't go any further, and stretched out his hand to untie himself. He sent the Jihai Sword in front of Ye Mingyou, and said: "You humiliated me before, and I will not let it go. I will compare with you today, how about it?"

Ye Mingyou smiled, stretched out his hand to rub Qin Yunluo's head next to him, and said, "Didn't Yunluo say that he had never seen Brother Mingyou fight, how about letting you see it today?"

Qin Yunluo frowned, and said with some anxiety: "You have to be careful, I don't think he is a good person."

"Okay." Ye Mingyou leaned in front of Chu Zeqi, thought for a while and said, "Then what's the matter with the loser?"

"If you lose, I will offer you the sword." Chu Zeqi held the sword with bright eyes, as if he was joking.

There was a sigh and applause from the crowd. This is a once-in-a-hundred-year appointment, which ordinary people can see once. Besides, the bets are all the treasures of the famous town faction.
