[System + Lu Xiaofeng] Meow's repayment

The inside and the outside of that narrow door are two completely different worlds.

The outside of the door is dirty and simple, but the inside of the door is very luxuriously decorated.

With Su Mier's outstanding eyesight as a qualified collector, it is easy to judge that these things - the white jade cup, the crystal plate, and several paintings and calligraphy hanging on the wall - are all valuable boutiques.

A skinny man was leaning on a soft couch, his face was pale, and he smiled and looked at the few people who were opening the curtain and walking in.

In such a hot weather, normal people would wear light clothes. Gentiles like Su Mier, if they were not blocked by flowers, they might not be able to wear anything.

However, the soft couch that the man was lying on was still covered with a layer of tiger skin, and he was also wearing a thick long robe.

This very weak man is the Snake King.

From the appearance, it is impossible to tell that the Snake King is the boss of the heroes in the market, but after talking with Lu Xiaofeng and the others for a few words, the kind of boldness and loyalty that he naturally revealed made people feel good about him very quickly. , even ignoring his physical condition.

"Unexpectedly, you still remember me as a useless person, and you still want to come and see me." Snake King said to Lu Xiaofeng with a smile.

He didn't speak the local dialect, but a language that everyone could understand, which made Huamanlou and the others feel a lot more convenient.

"I'm helping someone investigate a case. I happened to pass by here, so I came to see you."

After chatting with the Snake King for a few words, Lu Xiaofeng changed the topic to the case of the Embroidered Thief. He originally wanted to ask the Snake King about the situation, but unfortunately the Snake King was not very clear about this matter.

At this time, Lu Xiaofeng suddenly remembered the very important clue that he wanted to tell Jin Jiuling just now.

"You doubt Jiang Qingxia?" Hua Manlou asked in puzzlement, "Why?"

So, Lu Xiaofeng told everyone what happened to him earlier.

Not long after Huamanlou and Su Mier left, Lu Xiaofeng also arrived at Bixia Temple.

Because the piece of red silk embroidered with peony flowers as an important clue was stolen by Sikong Zhaixing, but Sikong Zhaixing was poisoned by someone, so he had to go to Bixia Temple.

Lu Xiaofeng also met Jiang Qingxia at that place.

Ordinarily, Jiang Qingxia was the owner of Bixia Temple and Jiang Chongwei's younger sister, so it was not surprising that she appeared there, so Lu Xiaofeng didn't pay too much attention to it.

But Sikong Zhaixing insisted that Jiang Qingxia told him to steal that piece of red silk.

Originally, Lu Xiaofeng didn't believe it.

He thought that Sikong Zhaixing just randomly pointed out someone to prevaricate him.

After all, Jiang Qingxia is a female Taoist priest, and she looks so melancholy and sad.

But it was such a female Taoist priest who wore a pair of embroidered red satin shoes under a plain Taoist robe.

In order to avoid the red shoes from being seen by others, she even put on a pair of green cloth shoes outside, but even so, it did not escape Lu Xiaofeng's eyes.

"After I found her pair of red shoes, she actually wanted to kill me." Lu Xiaofeng shook his head, obviously very helpless.

But since he sat here comfortably, it meant that Jiang Qingxia couldn't hurt a single hair of him, and similarly, she naturally couldn't blind those masters' eyes with one move.

Hua Manlou thought for a while, and said with certainty: "So, although she is unlikely to be an embroidery thief, she must have something to do with this matter."

"Of course, she must be an internal response in the Nanwang Palace. After all, only she can get close to Jiang Chongwei without being suspected." Lu Xiaofeng smiled proudly, "And the embroidered thief is wearing a pair of red shoes like her. They Most likely it was the same person who stopped."

While Lu Xiaofeng was talking to Hua Manlou, Su Mier noticed something was wrong with the Snake King.

He was smiling at first, but suddenly his face changed color, his already pale face was a little blue, and even twisted, his dry eyes were full of pain, and the skinny hands on his knees were tightly clenched. Fist, but still trembling uncontrollably.

I don't know if it's because of physical discomfort, but the Snake King seems to be in pain now.

Su Mier couldn't help asking, "Are you okay?"

Hearing Su Mier's voice, Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou who were talking about the Embroidered Thief turned their heads.

Hua Manlou wanted to ask what happened, but before he could say anything, he realized that the situation of the Snake King was wrong, and Lu Xiaofeng rushed over all of a sudden, and asked with concern: "Are you okay? What's wrong?"

The Snake King waved his hand to indicate that he was fine. He took a few deep breaths repeatedly to calm himself down, but his hands were still shaking.

"Red shoes." His voice was very low, but there was irrepressible hatred in every word, "You are talking about red shoes..."

"You know?" Lu Xiaofeng was taken aback.

"of course I know."

The Snake King closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, tears flowed out of them.

A man like him usually would rather shed blood than tears, but when a person is sad to a certain extent, perhaps only tears can express the pain in his heart.

"Have you ever seen my wife? Of course you haven't, so you will never know what a gentle and kind woman she is. And my children, they are only five or six years old, they are smart and lovely children... He murmured softly, before he finished speaking, tears were already flowing out like spring water.

And the meaning of his words, everyone can understand.

"You mean..." Lu Xiaofeng gritted his teeth secretly, he didn't want the Snake King to recall such a painful past, but he had to say, "Your wife and child died at the hands of the man wearing the red shoes?"

"Yes."

"Who is that person?" Lu Xiaofeng asked again.

"She is not human, that woman is simply a devil." Snake King's voice was hoarse, and he seemed reluctant to continue, but seeing Lu Xiaofeng's expression, he said, "Her name is Gongsun Lan, and it is said that she is from the early Tang Dynasty. She is the descendant of Aunt Gongsun, the No.1 person in the workshop, so people who know her also call her Aunt Gongsun!"

The name Gongsun Da Niang was not familiar to Lu Xiaofeng and others, but when the Snake King said her other names, Lu Xiaofeng couldn't help but gasped.

The female butcher, the peach blossom bee, the five-poison lady, the mother-in-law...these well-known female devils in the Jianghu are all the same person.

Such a mysterious woman is truly terrifying.

"If you get news about her, please let me know." Looking at the sword hanging on the wall—the sword that hadn't been drawn out for many years, the Snake King's eyes became brighter and brighter, and he turned around. Come on, and said to Lu Xiaofeng and the others very solemnly, "I'm counting on you."

I don't know if it's because I don't want to be blind anymore, or because I want to have a good exchange of feelings with my confidante. After leaving from the Snake King, Lu Xiaofeng took Xue Bing, Tonghuamanlou and Su Mier away.

And since there is nothing that needs help now, Hua Manlou is naturally happy that no one is disturbing around, so that he and his kitten can continue to enjoy the beautiful life in the world of two.

Seeing the sun slanting to the west and the sky gradually getting darker, Su Mier, who had been tossing around for a day, showed no signs of fatigue. Instead, he dragged Huamanlou along the street with great interest, and Huamanlou let himself He wasn't worried at all about being taken to some weird place by a certain cat who couldn't remember the way.

The few streets not far ahead are very lively, not much worse than during the day, it should look like a night market or something.

In normal times, Su Mi'er would happily take Huamanlou to go shopping together, and take a look to see if there are any beautiful things, so that he can add some collections to himself.

Although the gold, jade, jewelry, antique calligraphy and paintings, and all kinds of chic and exquisite gadgets that Su Mier has collected from various places for so many years can fill a room, but he just likes these, and he can't change it.

Today, however, Su Mier has a better goal.

Compared with the crowded market, the beautiful garden not far away is more attractive to him, and it is more suitable for him and Huamanlou, isn't it?

The garden is very big, and there are all kinds of flowers and plants planted in it. Although the flowers and plants in his and Huamanlou's house are more beautiful in Su Mier's eyes, the faint fragrance of flowers in the air here still makes him feel good.

As the sky darkened bit by bit, the moon gradually rose, and in the flowers, under the shade of trees, and among pavilions, night lights like stars lit up.

When entering the gate of the garden, Su Mier heard a passing female guest say that there is a Lianli tree in this garden, which can bless lovers to get married forever.

So now they are standing under that tree.

The so-called Lianli tree is made up of two red kapok trees. It looks like a lover is hugging tightly. When the evening wind blows, one or two brightly colored petals will swirl and fall down.

Against the background of the bright red flowers all over the tree and the gentle moonlight, the smile on Huamanlou's handsome face seemed to be shining.

His originally dull eyes seemed to melt into the moonlight at this moment, so bright and gentle, just one glance could make people fall intoxicated, addicted to the love he gave and couldn't extricate themselves.

Su Mier just quietly looked into those eyes, and saw that those eyes were full of only him.

He seemed like he might really be drunk.

Otherwise, how could he be so happy and joyful in his heart, as if it was about to overflow, enveloping the whole person in it, otherwise, how could he not be able to control his body, so wanting to be endlessly close to this person Together, never to be apart again?

He felt himself open his arms, turned his head and squinted his eyes. If Hua Manlou said it, he was probably smiling like a sneaky cat, and then he heard his own voice, which was soft and sweet.

He said: "The building is full of flowers, hug~~~"
