Master Xiao thinks about those years

The Xu Mansion was filled with bright red lights and festoons.

There are two big lanterns hanging in front of the wooden gate of the stone lion town, bright scarlet, appearing in the dark night, like the blood-red eyes of a treacherous beast.

The man in green followed the man in white to the front of the Xu Mansion, and the red wooden door slowly opened.

A maid stood by the door respectfully: "My lord."

The man in white nodded and stepped through the door.As soon as he entered the door, another servant girl ran over in a panic: "My lord, it's bad, Miss' Qian skirt is missing."

Hearing this, the man in white stopped, looked at the maidservant's face, raised his hand and threw it away.

"Snapped!"

A harsh slap.A sense of chill rose in the silent air, accompanied by the bleak autumn wind at night, it made people feel a chill in their chests.

"My lord, spare my life! My lord, spare my life, the little one didn't do it on purpose!"

The servant girl knelt on the ground and shivered like an ant.

The man in Tsing Yi frowned: "Qi skirt is a must-have wedding dress, this skirt is gone, how do you want Miss to get married tomorrow?"

"It's all the servant's fault. The servant will look for it now, and ask the Lord for permission."

The maid kowtowed like pounding garlic, her fair forehead was bruised and purple.The sharp eyes of the man in white fell: "If you can't find you, you don't have to live."

"Yes Yes……"

The servant girl shuddered, barely stood up, and ran away in fear.

"You can't even do this well, what a waste!"

The man in white walked into the house gloomyly and entered the door. Before the candle could be lit, he overturned an unknown porcelain.

The crackling sound continued.

The man in Tsing Yi was taken aback and stood still, not daring to move.

"Merchant Xu, why are you getting so angry? You're getting old, so you have to take care of your health."

Joking words sounded in the dark corner, the furious man in white in the room froze, and the sound of porcelain falling stopped abruptly.

The man in Tsing Yi was the first to react, and shouted into the dark room, "Who is it!"

"The waiter is really a noble person who forgets things too much. You opened the door for us yesterday."

Another different gentle voice came, the man in Tsing Yi trembled all over, his pupils dilated unfathomably in the darkness: "Yes, it's you..."

"No, didn't you leave the door?"

Suspicious and terrified questions, a burst of cold laughter burst out, the windows were wide open, and the night wind swept in, as if a ghost had entered the house.

Candles suddenly lit up, and the surrounding area was bright.

There were two people on the carved sandalwood table. Fu Nian, who was dressed in black, crossed his slender legs, leaning on the edge of the table, playing with a celadon tea set on the table with downcast eyes.Yan Chen in red clothes sat on the wooden chair, his face was clear, and his phoenix eyes were cold.

One red and one black, one leaning and one sitting, it looks like the ecstasy of impermanence in hell.

The man in Tsing Yi was even more frightened, while the man in white beside him was only depressed.

"How did you find out?"

The man in white stood where he was, his wrinkled face was dry and thin.

He has disheveled hair and ragged clothes, just like when Yan Chen saw him in the town.He is the old man Gao who fell beside Yan Chen that day and rushed to get the wedding candy, and he is also the real merchant of Xu.

"When I first met you, I didn't notice anything unusual."

Yan Chen looked at the old man Gao in front of him, and murmured.

"Could it be when you entered the Xu Mansion?" The man in Tsing Yi asked, he was the sharp-headed waiter who opened the door for Fu Nian and Yan Chen that day.

Yan Chen chuckled and shook his head: "At that time, we only noticed the strangeness of Old Man Gao, but we didn't know that he was the real Old Man Gao."

Pointy-headed waiter: "When was that?"

"After killing the fake Xu merchant." Fu Nian raised his head leisurely, and put down the porcelain that he had been playing with for a long time.

There was a natural chill in his gaze, which made the sharp-headed waiter lower his head, but the old man Gao met Fu Nian's eyes unwillingly: "Impossible, I designed everything well before, how could you find a flaw. "

"Yes, you designed it very well. You have been designing since the moment we entered the town."

Fu Nian looked at old man Gao, and said, "You knew our identities early in the morning, and you also knew that we would suspect you sooner or later. So, you wisely chose to hide our eyes and lead us into this suspicious place. Xu Mansion, kill the fake Xu merchants, and get rid of your suspicions."

"And in order to practice this blindfold, you have made sufficient preparations. First, you disguised yourself as a townsman and handed the 'Happy Candy' to us, making us suspicious."

"Then, the town riot was also designed by you. You calculated the time for me to go to Mo Qing, let me save them at the right moment, and get the message of "Xu" in front of the townspeople. You It gave us enough reasons to suspect Xu merchants. In the first step, you make a net with silk and put in bait."

Old man Gao disagreed: "You think too much, if I knew your identities early on, why should I design so many things, just kill you all?"

"No, you can't kill us." Fu Nian raised his eyes and looked disdainfully: "Or, to be more precise, you can't kill me, right?"

The old man Gao's withered face changed, and he became a piece of dead wood on the spot.

Yan Chen added lightly: "You can't kill us, so you can only use tricks to transfer us away from this small town. This is the truth of your painstaking efforts."

"...Go back to the strategy, and then say..."

Old Man Gao maintained his composure on his face, and motioned for Fu Nian to continue talking from that strategy.

Fu Nian smiled: "In the first step, we suspected that the Xu merchant was on the head, and then you let us go to Xu's mansion with this suspicion. You know that if you let us meet the "fake Xu merchant" directly, it is not enough Believable and know that we will not let it go."

"So you deliberately lied that Merchant Xu was not at home and asked me to go in and search. People are often more likely to believe what they have found with their own hands. Therefore, in this second step, you retreat to advance and lure the enemy deep."

Hearing this, the disapproval on Old Man Gao's face almost collapsed, but he still looked at Fu Nian unwillingly: "Then?"

Fu Nian glanced at the old man who refused to let go, and picked up the celadon cup on the table with a smile: "Under your plan, Mo Qing and I entered Xu's mansion, found a different place, and heard you The conversation with the waiter, so we believed it, and killed the fake Xu merchant with our own hands. In the third step, you think that it will come to fruition, and it will come naturally."

"Yes, I planned so well and smoothly, how could you find out!"

Old man Gao's withered face was tense, and his sunken dead fish eyes were open angrily, like a wronged person who insisted on apologizing.

What is wrong?

Old man Gao lowered his eyes again, muttering to himself uneasily.

What's wrong?

This step by step he walks so...

impossible……

"It went so well."

A calm voice sounded.

"What did you say?"

Old man Gao raised his lost eyes and looked at the person sitting on the chair talking.

"Old Man Gao, your fault is that it went too smoothly, you made it too easy for us to kill." Yan Chen spoke calmly while sitting in the rattan chair with cold eyes.

After every word and sentence, old man Gao turned pale.

Yan Chen stood up, wiped away the talisman that was focused on playing with the teacup, and slowly moved forward.

He took the first step ahead: "First of all, we got the information so smoothly, without any twists and turns, it fell directly on Xu Merchant. It was too deliberate."

The second step: "Then, you let us enter the Xu Mansion too smoothly. You, a person who can control the corpse formation, cannot let us enter the Xu Mansion smoothly."

The third step: "In the end, you made it too easy for us to kill. It's the same reason. How can you, a person who can control the corpse array, have no self-protection ability at all?"

In the fourth step, Yan Chen had already arrived at the old man Gao's side, condescendingly: "Shanghu Xu, what I said is right?"

Ling Ran's voice rippling, old man Gao's face turned pale.

Yan Chen chuckled: "Actually, after we killed Merchant Xu, we are still skeptical and not completely sure."

Old man Gao: "So...you deliberately left the town to lure me out..."

"Tsk, that's right." Fu Nian put down the celadon cup with a "snap", his obsidian eyes were sly and playful.

"We don't have enough evidence, and we don't even have a clue about the real Xu merchant. The only thing we can do is to pretend to be stupid and leave, and secretly verify."

"If you want to be watertight, besides having everything in place, you have to wait for the opportunity. Merchant Xu, if you start the corpse formation a little later, we might not be able to find out."

Fu Nian: "After all... you are still a little impatient."

The old man Gao staggered and almost fell to the ground. The sharp-headed waiter beside him was frightened and froze in place, motionless.

"I thought... there would be no mistakes, but unexpectedly, I still missed a step..."

Old man Gao smiled to himself, his loose hair trembling along with his body.Like sifting chaff.

"Old man Gao, I have only one doubt. The dead body is such a powerful formation, is it really just to prolong your daughter's life?"

Yan Chen looked at the person in front of him slowly, Old Man Gao opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something.

Suddenly, a cock crowed, sharp and high-pitched, tearing apart the surrounding fields.

Everyone raised their heads upon hearing the sound, only to realize that the sky had suddenly dawned and it was dawn.

The faint sky with the light of dawn.

The night is approaching, and the dawn is approaching.

"Daddy"

The crisp and sweet female voice was like the clear sound of bamboo dew. Hearing this, everyone in the room changed their expressions.

"Yinyin, don't come in, father hasn't gotten up yet."

Old man Gao stood facing Fu Nian and Yan Chen, with a terrified smile on his old withered face, he was obviously at a loss, but he still pretended to be a normal person when he spoke.

Standing outside the door was Xu Yinyin.

It was Xu Yinyin who was praised by the whole town for her beauty and virtue.

Yan Chen really wanted to see the face behind the door, what kind of person could have such a high reputation?

"Daddy, I didn't come in, I just came to tell you that my Qian skirt was found. Don't blame that maid."

The clear voice sounded again, and old man Gao still smiled awkwardly: "Hey, it's good if you find it, go and put it on quickly, we'll be brides after a while."

"Okay, then I'll go."

"Hey, let's go."

The clear voice disappeared, and the surrounding area became silent. Old man Gao had already fallen to the ground.

The light outside the house is gradually brightening, and the morning sun peeps out from the thick clouds, and the golden light shines into the house bit by bit through the window, forcing away all the dark and cold things.Force away those confusing fog.

"After my daughter is married, I will tell you everything."

After a long time, the person who fell on the ground spoke. There was no smile on his face, only dry wrinkles, and his voice was hoarse, but calm.

Yan Chen and Fu Nian did not speak, it was a tacit agreement.
