Suifang

Murong Villa has a housekeeper, Shen Nanchi, and Xuejiabao has a strange woman, Bai Linglong.

Bai Linglong is a long-sleeved, good at dancing and exquisite in all aspects. In just two years, he has won the trust of Lord Xue. It is even rumored that Lord Xue will marry that Linglong girl in a few days.Xue Xiangyao disdained this:

"Father is not stupid anymore. How could he marry such a woman of unknown origin? Besides, I call her 'sister'. If she marries Daddy, wouldn't I be a generation shorter than her in the future?"

Xia Suijin smiled and said, "How old is Miss Bai?"

"Hmm... I don't know. It's been said that her origin is unknown. You can ask Dad."

"Where is Miss Bai now?"

Xue Xiangyao frowned belatedly, and became vigilant: "What do you want to do? Although she was at fault for the fairy girl's fault, father has already punished her and grounded her, so you can't refuse to let her go. Let me tell you, although Miss Bai has no last name' Xue', but if you live in Xuejiabao, you are from Xuejiabao, if you dare to touch her, you will be an enemy of my Xuejiabao."

Xia Suijin said: "Calm down first, I didn't talk to her, I just want to ask why Miss Bai kept information about Xiangu. Think about it, if you knew about Xiangu earlier, you would get rid of her early, where would you be?" So many people will die."

"Father asked, Miss Bai said she was innocent, she thought Xiangu was a ghost story fabricated by adults to scare children."

"Do you believe it?"

Xia Suijin felt that the little girl was very smart, so she wouldn't believe it foolishly.

Xue Xiangyao said: "Don't worry about whether I believe it or not, I just want to find out one thing, that is, what is the background of that Bai Linglong. The disciples all pass that father wants to marry Miss Bai, this is false, but I hope it is true Back then, my mother had dystocia, and I passed away within a few hours after giving birth. My father raised me and my elder brother alone, and never mentioned the idea of ​​remarrying. Now there is a smart girl here. I have to Zhang Luo for my father, if the family is clean, I will persuade my father to marry, if it is unfortunate, that Bai girl has evil intentions, I will try to make her honest, if it is impossible to drive her away. Brother Su, help me This is a favor, I'll find an excuse to let you stay, how about it?"

After saying these words in a row, Xue Xiangyao's mouth was dry, and he took Xia Suijin's bowl and drank a few mouthfuls of porridge before he was relieved.

Xia Suijin stared at the bowl in her hand and said, "Mine."

Xue Xiangyao stuffed it back again and said, "Return it to you."

Under the plum tree, the two sat face to face on a small bench and meditated.Xue Xiangyao was upset about her father's marriage, while Xia Suijin was full of thoughts on how to make use of it and make calculations to find out Shen Linglong and retrieve the Jiulong Ling.

After a while, Xue Xiangyao couldn't help asking, "Why don't you speak?"

"What did I say? Say you drank my porridge, or did you promise to help you? Well, I said, I promised to help. But, Miss Xue, aren't you afraid that I'm a bad person?"

Xue Xiangyao poked her eyes with two fingers, and said, "Then I'm blind."

"Haha, you are really interesting."

Xia Suijin shook the fallen leaves on the hem of his clothes, and when he returned to the house, Yu Fang looked over immediately, with his mouth puffed up, and asked:

"Miss Xue is beautiful?"

"Hee hee, I'm not as beautiful as you, but you always wear a mask to prevent me from seeing it, so I can only look at other people."

This was just a joke, but Yu Fang took it seriously, took off her mask, and said, "Now you can watch me."

Xia Suijin: "..."

It turned out that he was jealous, so he was so narrow-minded?

He held back his stomachache from laughing, and smoothed his chest, saying: "I'm going to see Bai Linglong, come together?"

"it is good"

Under the guidance of Xue Xiangyao, the two sneaked into the hidden knife pavilion one after the other, and a screen was placed in front of the quiet room on the first floor.In the afternoon, the sun shone warmly into the quiet room, only the rustling sound of the pages of the book was heard, and a figure was reflected on the screen, looking graceful and graceful.

Xia Suijin poked her head in, and saw a woman in a yellow dress kneeling in front of the desk, flipping through the book with one hand, and holding a pen with the other, copying the knife manual.The woman's face is charming, with willow-leaf eyebrows and affectionate eyes, a little blood-like cinnabar between her eyebrows, and the eyes are full of charm when they flow.

--exquisite!

This Linglong is the same Linglong? !

Xia Suijin resisted the turmoil in his heart, and quietly exited the Tibetan knife pavilion, saying:

"I want to see Lord Xuebao."

Fort Xue is a man with high self-esteem and a violent temperament. He looks arrogantly at Xia Suijin and Yu Fang.

Xia Suijin said: "Master Xue, do you still remember that there is a pair of sisters in Shenjiabao named Shen Linglong and Shen Bailu?"

Xue Jiabao focused on wiping the snow-drinking knife, and never looked at the two of them, but when he heard the word "Shen Jiabao", he immediately looked over sharply, and said, "I've forgotten about the past 13 years ago. Li Sujin, If you want to punish rape and eradicate evil, go ahead, what are you doing here?"

Xia Suijin smiled wryly, and said: "To be honest, I came here to track down the murderer who killed the leader of Murong."

"What do you mean?"

"I have heard for a long time that Lord Xue and Leader Murong have a very close relationship. This matter is so important that I dare not lie. That day Lord Murong was killed, Steward Shen, Mr. Yu, and I fought against the murderer and found out that the murderer used The moves and internal strength all come from Xuejiabao."

After a pause, Master Xue's face was gloomy, but there was no violence, and he continued:

"I came all the way with Mr. Yu. I stayed at Shenjiabao in the dark. I don't know whether it's good luck or bad luck. I happened to meet Xiangu. I wanted to eliminate harm for the people and kill Xiangu, but I didn't know that she had accomplices. We He teamed up with Mr. Yu to kill a person. At the critical moment, that 'sister' screamed and alarmed the Xue family. Miss Xue came and let her escape. At that time, I heard Xiangu call her 'sister', so I guessed if they were A survivor of the Shenjiabao."

Lord Xue said slowly: "You guessed it right, there is indeed a pair of sisters. I thought that 13 years ago, even people and dogs in Shenjiabao died, but I didn't expect that two of them survived. Lord Shen did good deeds. Everyone praises him, but his daughter Shen Bailu is so cruel and vicious, she really disgraces her father's face."

"One more thing, the murderer who killed Leader Murong had a mole between his eyebrows, and Shen Linglong also had a mole between his eyebrows. I suspect that the white girl..."

Xia Suijin stopped at the right time, letting Master Xue think about it for himself.

At this moment, a disciple hurried over and told:

"Castle Master, here is a letter from the housekeeper Shen of Murong Villa, which says it is an urgent matter. The sender specifically asked you to open it yourself."

Did Shen Nan send it late?

Xia Suijin saw that Master Xue's face became more and more gloomy, his eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of scarlet evil spirit, and he secretly guessed what was written in the letter, but thought that Shen Nanchi would not harm him, the letter was for him, he Just relax and wait for Master Xue to read it safely, and then play it by ear.

At this time, an oiled paper umbrella floated outside the window, blue and white, and the umbrella holder was dressed in a blue and gray robe, and his back looked thin and thin.He couldn't help being curious: it didn't rain this day, so why do you need an umbrella?What a weirdo.

The next moment, there was a loud bang, Master Xue shattered the desk and shouted:

"Come here!! - Capture that Bai Linglong quickly!"

A roar made Xia Suijin fall to the ground in fright, hugging Master Xue's leg, and was dragged a few steps away, yelling again and again: "Don't! Don't!——You are scaring the snake, we have no evidence, we have to set up Let her show her fox tail by herself!"

Xue Baozhu said: "Whom do I want to kill, and do I still need evidence?"

——No, you killed Shen Linglong, where can I find the Nine Dragon Order?

Yu Fang, who had always been calm, suddenly spoke up and said:

"All of this is your guesswork. You can't conclude that Bai Linglong is Shen Linglong. To be sure, you need to set up a plan to test it first, or you can set up a trap as Xiao Su... Li Sujin said. In short, this matter cannot be rushed. "

Xia Suijin had a knee pain, got up, and praised: "That's right! Fortress Xue, why don't you ask Miss Bai to come over first, and I will test her a few words first, and you should pay attention to her reaction."

……

Xia Suijin was relieved that Fang Lang would speak for him.

There were only Lord Xue, Xia Suijin, and Yu Fang in the knife room. When Bai Linglong knelt down in front of the desk, Master Xue wanted to speak with a displeased face. He immediately stepped forward and said with a smile:

"Girl Bai, hello! I'll move a chair for you, you sit down."

Bai Linglong raised her eyes and said, "I did something wrong and I will be punished. I shouldn't sit down."

So, Xia Suijin retracted the chair resentfully, sat on it by himself, then pointed to his nose, and said with a smile: "I am Li Sujin, a knight who walks the world with a sword. I killed that ruthless fairy girl. People in Huicheng call me 'Engong'. To be honest, I deserve it. The fairy girl is right under the nose of Xuejiabao. Many disciples of Xuejiabao can send a few at will to get rid of her, but you You hid Xiangu from the past and let me take advantage of it, tsk, should I thank you?"

The fingers in Bai Linglong's sleeves were twisted into a ball, she looked up at Xia Suijin, she pursed her lips and smiled in a charming manner, and said: "It's my fault, I thought the fairy aunt was talking about ghosts and gods, and Xue Jiabao's reputation spread far and wide. , who dares to act presumptuously on Duantianya?... I never thought that I was wrong in the end. Fortunately, Mr. Li took the initiative to prevent Xiangu from taking another life. I am grateful and wish to copy the scriptures every night to make amends."

"Miss Bai, you don't need to be like this. Just know your mistakes and correct them next time. What are you doing copying those obscure scriptures? If you have time to spare, you can burn some paper money for Shen Jiabao. It's just after Qingming, Shen There are no more descendants in the family, and I don't know how poor Master Shen is."

Bai Linglong lowered her eyes, seeming to be staring at Xia Suijin's feet, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and after a while, she twitched her lips and said:

"I got it."

"Oh, that's right!" Xia Suijin suddenly remembered something, patted his forehead, and said: "You go to the ancestral hall to burn it, I see that the Shen family's ancestral hall is covered with dust, and the two red cloths covering the tablets are also dirty. Together with you..."

When mentioning "two pieces of red cloth covering the tablet", Bai Linglong's charming eyes froze for a moment, there was a trace of surprise flashing like a flying shadow among flowers in a very fast and dark way, and there was also a trace of hidden secrets. Deep, there is a different kind of emotion in it that even Xia Suijin can't understand.

At this time, Bai Linglong had already started to avoid Xia Suijin's scrutiny, and turned to look at Master Xue behind him.She showed a charming expression, as if she longed for Lord Xue's love and affection, and wanted to rush over and hide in that strong and generous chest, so that Lord Xue could protect her.

Unfortunately, her desire was in vain.

Xia Suijin saw all this silently, and tried again:

"Xiangnu took over the Shenjiabao and committed evil deeds. She should have been cut to death by a thousand swords, but I was soft-hearted and only stabbed her with a sword. The body was thrown into the pond in front of the Shen family's ancestral hall to feed the fish. I think she deserved what she deserved, Miss Bai I'm from the same daughter's family, would you think I'm cruel?"

Bai Linglong's complexion was slightly red, her throat was choked up, and she sounded strangely sad, and said:

"To blame"

Xia Suijin immediately clapped her hands and laughed, and said: "Haha, yes, she deserves to be blamed. You've said that, and I don't need to feel guilty anymore. Let's have a big celebration and get drunk until Master Xue puts a few tables tonight." Not return."

The laughter was unrestrained, and there were ups and downs in the echo, which was a bit sharp in the ears.

Fort Xue reprimanded: "Shut up!"

Xia Suijin immediately shut up and looked sideways at Bai Linglong, but Bai Linglong lowered her head, so he couldn't see her expression clearly.

When he walked out of the knife room, he belatedly asked Yu Fang:

"Do you think I am scheming?"

Yu Fang hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

"Oh, I think so too."

In front of the knife room, there is a large field of poppies, which are delicate and fragrant.Among the flowers was a blue-white oil-paper umbrella, under the umbrella a young man in gray robe was holding a flower hoe to loosen the soil, and the light flower branches swayed in the wind, reflecting the young man's red lips and white teeth, making him look a bit delicate.

Xia Suijin couldn't help but stop, and shouted at the young man:

"You are much prettier than flowers!"

Yu Fang raised her eyebrows

Hearing the sound, the young man turned his head, his thick shattered hair was wet with sweat, under the shattered hair, a pair of glazed eyes half-squinted, and asked, "What?"

"It's nothing, I praise you for being good-looking. Li Sujin, what do you call my brother? Don't get me wrong, I want to make friends with you."

There was a gloomy look on the young man's brows, and he looked like he didn't want to talk to him, but he still answered slowly:

"Liu Ling"
