Chapter 29 Mysterious Woman
Xiao Shumou dodged from behind the rockery and walked towards the crowd with a smile. When the women saw Xiao Shumou, they were all blessed. Xiao Shumou asked them to go to Fanghuazhai first to wait. After these women left, Xiao Shumou looked at the man again.
The man's name is Lu Zhongyang, and he is a popular musician in the imperial city recently. I heard that he can attract hundreds of birds singing by playing a song, but there is no way to know whether it is true or not. Xiao Shumou had just passed through the yard and happened to see the bird with a handkerchief around his neck. Unexpectedly, the bird was called down by Mr. Lu before he could take action.
"It turned out that Mr. Lu could call a bird without touching the piano. It seems that the world still praises him lightly."
Lu Zhongyang was shocked. Hearing that several young ladies of the Xiao family called the squinting man to be the third uncle just now, he must be Xiao Shumou, the third master of the Xiao family. Xiao Shumou has been outside all year round, which is extremely mysterious. He didn't expect that his martial arts skills were so high that he could completely hide his breath. People say that the Xiao family, a famous family in Wuqian, is only supported by Xiao Shuyong, a prime minister. Now it seems that this is wrong.
Lu Zhongyang took out the square incense handa from the sleeve and handed it to Xiao Shumou. He whispered, "It's difficult for Zhongyang to make a big elegant hall. I didn't expect to make a fool in front of Third Master Xiao today."
Xiao Shumou took over the Xiangpa with a smile, looked at the small words on it, and his unhappy expression flashed by. He put away the Xiangpa and said to Lu Zhongyang, "I heard that Mr. Lu came to the imperial city to find someone? If you don't mind, Xiao is willing to help Mr. Lu.
When Lu Zhongyang heard the words, he bowed his hand to thank him with a wry smile, and then said goodbye to Xiao Shu and went to Fanghuazhai.
After he left, Xiao Shumou took out his handkerchief from his sleeve and looked at it again, but there was no smile on his smiling face.
Two days later, Xiao Shumou appeared in Fali Temple. As soon as he saw the Xuan monk, Xiao Shumou pretended to be angry and said, "Why hasn't the murderer who injured my son been found yet?"
Xuanbai glanced at him and said, "Isn't there no clue for you to find it in the imperial city?"
Xiao Shumou narrowed his eyes and said with a smile, "Where are Ling Xiao and Feng Ming?"
As soon as Xiao Shumou finished asking this sentence, he heard footsteps outside.
Xiao Lingxiao pushed the door and entered, followed by Xiao Fengming and Bao Ronger.
Xiao Fengming's injury is recovering at an incredible speed, and now he is able to move freely. After Xiao Lingxiao said something heavy to him that day, Xiao Fengming was only depressed for one night. The next day, he returned to his original appearance and shouted to Xiao Lingxiao, so that Xiao Lingxiao could not push him further.
His injury improved, and everyone's hearts were relieved a lot. The progress of finding the man is very slow, but whether it is the demon wolves or the sixth prince who has been tracking the flower thief without knowing about it, can only turn around like a headless fly.
It is inconvenient for the demons and wolves to go in and out of the imperial city, so it can only be entrusted to Xiao Shumou to find suspicious people. Unexpectedly, Xiao Shumou came a few days after the news spread.
After seeing Xiao Shumou, Xiao Lingxiao saluted respectfully and said, "The third uncle's hands and eyes are clear to the sky. Should he bring good news?"
"It's still Lingxiao who can talk." Xiao Shumou got up with a smile, came to Xiao Fengming, grabbed his wrist and called the pulse, and breathed a sigh of relief, "Thanks to Xuan's usual likes to search for good things in the royal family. Feng Ming, you pick the best food in his hand to eat. Don't worry. Take good care of yourself early so as not to worry about your father.
Xiao Fengming nodded with a smile when he heard the words. Although Xiao Shumou's words were like a joke, he felt that the words were half true and half false. At the beginning, it was just for the purpose of expedient, Xiao Fengming called Xiao Shumou's father, but now Xiao Shumou's eyes are really spoiled in Xiao Fengming's eyes. And concern.
Everyone sat down, and Xiao Shumou took out the piece of Shanpa and gave it to Xiao Lingxiao.
Xiao Lingxiao opened the incense handkerchief and took a closer look. He saw that it said, "The night is palpitating, the wind passes through the grass, and the sun and the moon embrace each other. It doesn't hesitate to die. You will be aware of it and get rid of the future trouble forever."
These words are obviously threatening and extremely murderous.
Several people circulated it, and Xiao Shumou said, "Someone is going to spread this thing from the Prime Minister's house. I don't know who sent the news, but I can guess who is the person who wants to get rid of the future trouble forever..." After saying that, Xiao Shumou looked at Xiao Lingxiao.
Xiao Lingxiao snorted with a wry smile, "The sun and the moon hug each other and do not hesitate to die. The person who can say such lingering and decisive words in the prime minister's mansion can't think of anyone other than his mother."
Other people don't know the true face of the first lady, but Xiao Lingxiao knows it best.
Five years ago, Xiao Lingxiao accidentally passed by the small garden of the Prime Minister's mansion and heard a sound in the cabin where flowers were stored in the small garden, so she went over to have a look. As a result, a man and a woman were having an affair in the wooden house. Xiao Lingxiao was so scared that he turned around and ran away. As a result, he shocked the man and woman in the cabin. In a panic, Xiao Lingxiao only saw that the woman was the eldest lady, but she did not see the man clearly.
Xiao Lingxiao didn't tell anyone about the eldest lady's affair. Later, it happened one after another, and she didn't have a chance to tell others about it again. Now the eldest lady is intent on killing Xiao Lingxiao, precisely because she is afraid that she will tell about it in those years.
The sun and the moon embrace each other and do not hesitate to die. These two sentences are clearly that the eldest lady is warning the man that the two of them are now grasshoppers on a rope, both glorious and damaged.
"The person who should have received this Xiangpa must have been the man who had something to do with the first lady. If I guess is right, that man is also the flower picker they are chasing by the sixth prince, and he is also the person we are looking for who has hurt Feng Ming.
After Xiao Lingxiao said this, he looked at Xiao Shumou. She exposed his brother's cuckold in front of him, and Xiao Shumou's face really became ugly.
It's just that the facts are all there, and no one can refute anything.
At this time, I heard Xiao Fengming say, "I had a war with that man that day. His martial arts skills were strange and very powerful. However, I was whipped in the end, and I guess I was hurt a good thing. He may have been hiding in the Prime Minister's mansion before, but since the first lady passed on this palm, it means that he is hiding outside now. Speaking of this, Xiao Fengming asked Xiao Shumou, "Father, how did you get this Xiangpa?"
Xiao Shumou said that he saw Lu Zhongyang call the bird in the courtyard. Xiao Lingxiao was curious. Unexpectedly, there was such a figure in the imperial city. She secretly wrote down the name of the musician.
The birds flew away, and they naturally couldn't find the man.
After several people discussed, Xiao Lingxiao asked Xuan to summon all the demons and wolves back. Since the eldest lady did not give up and was so eager for the man to kill herself again, even if she couldn't find the other party, she must have found a way to find her. Xiao Shumou was very worried about this. He absolutely returned to the Prime Minister's mansion to find the suspicious people who had existed before and now left the Prime Minister's mansion.
After he left, Xiao Lingxiao asked Xuan, "Do you know the Marriott bet that Wan Guanzhuang is going to do recently?"
As soon as Xiao Fengming and Bao Ronger heard this, they immediately said in surprise, "Are you still thinking about this?"
Xiao Lingxiao stared at them as a matter of course and said, "Of course! This is a once-in-a-year opportunity. If I miss it this time, where can I get the money?
Xuan said to Xiao Lingxiao with a bitter face, "Master, the so-called Marriott gambling is not just gambling. Many people who come to participate every year will die here. It's too dangerous for you to attend. If the master wants silver, I can give it to you..."
"No way!" Xiao Lingxiao shook her head and said, "It is because this big bet is extraordinary that I must participate!"
Before Xiao Lingxiao left Xiao's house, he said harsh words to let the old lady and Xiao Shuyong kneel down and invite her back. If he wanted to do this, Xiao Lingxiao had to take some risks. What's more, if you want to gain a foothold in this world, how can you not do something that shocks the world? Xiao Lingxiao firmly believes that only by standing on the tip of the wind and waves can you see deeper and farther.
Xuan couldn't stop Xiao Lingxiao, so he had to say everything he knew.
The identity of the owner of Wan Guanzhuang is so mysterious that even Xuan has never seen it. Every year, the owner of Wanguanzhuang only appears on the day of Marriott gambling. There are rumors that the owner of Wanguanzhuang is a beautiful woman.
"Woman?" Xiao Lingxiao shouted in surprise.
I didn't expect that in such a world of absolute male superiority and female inferiority, there are still women who can maintain such a big gambling house.
"Although it's just a rumor, since the news appeared, the number of people who come to participate in Marriott gambling every year has increased a lot. Among them, there are many children of rich families and those who are good deeds in the world. It is said that if you can win the Wanjinhao gamble, you will have a chance to kiss Fangze..." Speaking of this, Xuan took a look at Xiao Lingxiao with some embarrassment and said, "So, most of the people who go to participate in the Wanjinhao gamble are prodigal sons with bad intentions. Master, you still think about it again..."
Xiao Lingxiao did think about it carefully, but what she considered was completely different from what she was worried about.
At the beginning, Xiao Lingxiao wanted to participate in the Marriott gamble just to get money and reputation, but as soon as he heard that the person with such a large family business turned out to be a young woman, Xiao Lingxiao couldn't sit still. She originally felt that in this world, there would be no more women who wanted to be independent, ambitious and means except for her, who traveled through a different world and had modern ideas, but she didn't expect that someone had been ahead of her and did a good job.
As the saying goes, heroes cherish heroes. Xiao Lingxiao was extremely excited to meet this strange woman at midnight.
However, a few days later, Xuan, who specially found a way to inquire about Wanjinhao gambling, brought a cold news to Xiao Lingxiao - this year's Wanjinhao gambling post has been published.
That is to say, Xiao Lingxiao can't enter at all.
