Relief

Behind the stone arch there is a pool of water, the spring mud of the willow dike is moist, and a water pavilion extends to the lake. In the pavilion, there is a small red clay stove, two or three servants, and a young man in black clothes sits on the ground with his back on the ground, holding a fishing rod in his hand, and his skirt is under the sky. Every angle glides through different layers of golden luster.

A small ceramic pot was simmering on the fire, and a servant held a fan and poured out a bowl and knelt down and offered it: "Stewed snow pear with white fungus and lily, it clears the lungs and moistens the throat, my lord, try it?"

There was also a maidservant kneeling beside her, who took away the tea set: "A few days ago, the north sent jade spring mountains and waters, and this maidservant brought some tea for the young master."

Another servant held a crystal plate in his hand: "The chef's newly baked red bean lard cake, would you like to pad your stomach first?"

The young master in Xuanyi remained calm in the crowd, motionless like a green lake fishing.

Xie Zhixu communicated with his buddies outside the waterside pavilion.

In the warm and sunny spring day, Liang Ting was still shaded by someone holding a silk umbrella.Tong Chuan's servant got the consent and recruited the waiter from the restaurant.

Xie Zhixu also wanted to follow up and stop him: "What do you do?"

do what?Came to save your son's life.

Yesterday he was troubled by not being able to find any clues about the second senior brother. The cinnabar red letters in the restaurant this morning clearly indicated that the motive of the second senior brother's murder was probably related to the Liang family. The big family also became clear.

In order to prevent Eldest Master Liang from dying like the others above, Wu Li decisively ordered Xie Zhixu to come to the Liang Mansion immediately, and no matter what, he must prevent the second senior brother's butcher's knife from being cut off again.

In a blink of an eye, the man had already arrived at Mr. Liang's side.

Xie Zhixu: "I'm with that guy."

"Is there a buddy like you in the restaurant with a brocade coat and a sword, and you are talking nonsense with your eyes open?"

Xie Zhixu: "Uh... I offended your young master last night, so I'm here to apologize. Please let me have a few words with Mr. Liang, please!"

The pavilion suddenly fell into chaos.

I don't know how the restaurant guy explained it, but Liang Ting's back is as stable as Mount Tai, and the fishing rod is not messed up at all, but the servants are all panicked, and the man who served the pear cream ran out of the pavilion screaming: "The big thing is bad, there are assassins who want to assassinate the young master! Hurry up!" Come on, someone!"

The figure disappeared behind the stone arch.

Xie Zhixu: "..."

The servants started arguing, and the maid overturned the tea set in her hand.

Liang Ting's voice was pinched thinly: "Shut up, my lord."

The volume is not high, but it is clear to the ears. It is a unique way of speaking for people with inner strength.

The pavilion immediately fell silent.

Ripples swayed on the surface of the lake, Liang Ting flicked his wrist, and the fishing line pulled out a silver thread under the sun, and a half-foot-long catfish fell, and with a precise flick, it fell into the bucket with a splash.

The maid handed over the silk handkerchief, Liang Ting wiped her hands slowly, and picked up a piece of red bean cake: "Where is Qinghua?"

The maidservant replied: "Qing Hua just ran to inform Mrs. Madam."

"Hmph," Liang Ting threw the handkerchief away, "what a fuss."

The clerk said: "It's not a trivial matter, Mr. Liang. Our boss said that you must be careful in the near future. The assassin wrote such a blatant statement, and I'm afraid it's not groundless. Assassins and thieves are not as precious as your voice. If something really happens, Master Liang and Hu Zhongdao must have destroyed the entire city of Suzhou!"

Liang Ting put his hand on the guy's shoulder.It was a pampered hand, white and delicate.

"If your restaurant dares to stop me from singing, do you think the Liang family and the Qiu family won't clean you up for me?"

The guy shook his body.

Liang Ting's voice was very strange, high-pitched, like a woman choking her throat.

Forget about the libretto, I didn't expect to even speak like this on weekdays.Xie Zhixu couldn't help but think of the secrets of Liang's mansion mentioned in the play, how Mr. Liang's voice turned out to be so poisonous.

Xie Zhixu said to the guard at the gate of the pavilion: "Let me go in and have a few words with your young master. I came here to protect Young Master Liang. Can you be responsible for delaying things?"

The guard at the gate of the pavilion pushed him out: "Go, go, don't do this!"

The ground by the lake suddenly trembled.

The water pavilion also trembled three times, and the water surface was splashed with waves.

Liang Ting in the pavilion and Xie Zhixu outside the pavilion looked up at the same time——

Rows of people in black appeared on the cornices and tile roofs all around, all with swords and knives, guns in hand, looking around in a vigilant manner, and tightly protected a side of the lake and pavilions.

An old man with white hair and long beard came out from the crowd, stood far away on the roof, bowed to the pavilion and saluted: "By the order of the master, I am here to protect the safety of the young master."

The waves on the water surface became bigger and bigger, and the lake vibrated.

Numerous reed tubes stretch out around the pavilion, densely packed like a reed marsh appearing out of thin air, as if there are flowers and trees planted by hand.

There are patches of black shadows under the reed tubes.

One of them popped up and was facing Young Master Liang who was fishing by the pavilion: "Under the order of the Grand Master, clear the place for Young Master."

Xie Zhixu had never seen this battle before, the corners of his eyes twitched, and he thought to himself, it turns out that the purpose of your family's clearing is to prevent all living things in the sky and underground water except your son...

Suddenly, Haohao Tangtang came behind the arched door, and another group of people came, led by a few beautiful maids, stepping on the water pavilion with their toes proud and arrogant.Xie Zhixu and the gatekeeper boy were squeezed into the mud beside the steps.

Those maids entered the pavilion and drove away all the servants around Mr. Liang, and confiscated all the white fungus, lily and pear soup, red bean cake, and Yuquan camellia water.

"By the order of the eldest lady, from now until the assassin is caught, we will supervise the young master's food and daily life."

Xie Zhixu: "..."

Seeing through the gaps in the crowd, Mr. Liang seemed to raise his hand to rest his forehead.

Immediately afterwards, with a wave of the fishing rod, the clusters of reeds on the water surface were cut off with a splash, and a string of water droplets as swift as locust stones were thrown out. Between the eyes, it forced her to take a step back.

Mr. Liang paused word by word, "Du, here, I, get out."

"Further."

He added.

The man in black on the roof of the eaves and the diver in the water retreated in response.

The maid didn't move: "The eldest lady is also thinking about the safety of the young master."

Liang Ting: "I said, get out of here."

"No one dares to act wild on my territory."

The scene was silent for a while.

Mr. Liang Shi Shiran sat down and threw the fishing rod into the lake again.

The maid bowed and bowed, and led the people back.

Xie Zhixu and the gatekeeper boy were squeezed to the side of the willow tree in the mud again, when a gust of lake breeze came in, the willow branches were clear, and a few curved leaves fluttered down.

Liu Ye fell in front of Xie Zhixu's eyes, he glanced at Mr. Liang's haughty back who refused to be seen thousands of miles away, and thought, although the situation is urgent, you must listen to me.

Before the gatekeeper could react in time, Xie Zhixu raised the gauze curtain and walked into the pavilion: "Master Liang, the person who wrote the threatening message is hiding in the dark and cannot be guarded against. I think you still need a guard in the near future."

Behind the gauze curtain, Liang Tingxuan's black back became clear, his back straight and straight, without turning his head.

"Where is the person who trespassed on the gazebo, let me drive him out."

The servants immediately surrounded him.

"Wait a minute, Mr. Liang, please take a look." Xie Zhixu raised his hand, holding a willow leaf between his fingertips, "This is a willow leaf that dissolves in water and dies when touched, spring wind scissors and willow leaves are poisonous."

Liang Ting turned her head, her eyebrows were drawn very thinly, and her youthful and delicate appearance was somewhat feminine.

"Who are you?" Liang Ting frowned.

Well, you don't recognize me.Thank you for nothingness, sadness and joy.It seems that the person who watched me secretly like a poisonous snake last night was not you, but Second Senior Brother.

"It doesn't matter who I am, the important thing is that I can help you eliminate potential dangers around you." Xie Zhixu walked up to Liang Ting, and threw willow leaves into the bucket of fish in his hand.

As soon as the willow leaves touched the surface of the water, they immediately dissolved into a light blue stream and disappeared without a trace. However, the fish in the bucket wobbled a few times and turned white.

Liang Ting lowered his head and met the dead fish eyes.

Xie Zhixu said: "The spring wind scissors willow leaf poison occurs very quickly, and there is no cure. Mr. Liang, if any part of your skin is wet after fishing, and you pass by the embankment, the wind will blow the fallen leaves to float on you, and you will die suddenly. Just between breaths."

Xie Zhixu went to the small red clay stove where the pear soup was simmering, and squatted down to dig out some charcoal ashes with tongs: "I smelled something wrong outside the pavilion, please look at the dark brown clots in the charcoal ashes. This is highly poisonous snake gallbladder which is ground into powder, mixed with charcoal and burned to volatilize. After being inhaled, it deposits in the lungs. It makes people feel a hot breath in the abdomen and diffuses into the limbs and bones along with the blood. Although this poison will not be fatal immediately, it will sink in. The disease is hard to get rid of, and the sequelae will accompany you for life."

The servants all gasped for air, and rushed forward to extinguish the fire and seal it.

Xie Zhixu returned to the edge of the pavilion again: "Young Master Liang, please look at the fish in the lake again."

The green lake is very deep, with turbulent silt, sand and water plants intertwined on the shore, which is not clear. A few small fish the size of a thumb are playing on the lake, with bright red lips, which is really cute.

Liang Ting looked at the red-lipped fish and frowned.

Xie Zhixu said: "This fish is called Beauty Lips, it is highly poisonous, eating it can cause the whole body to fester and turn into a corpse on the spot."

All the servants in the pavilion plopped and knelt down, shouting that the master is a daughter of gold, take care of everything, and immediately go to invite back the guards sent by the master and the wife and the grand master to clear the field for protection.

Liang Ting stared at Xie Zhixu with long, narrow and feminine eyes: "Who are you? How do you know there are these poisons around me?"

Xie Zhixu: "Just because I accidentally cut off a few steel knives in your residence last night, I came here to apologize today. I happen to have studied poisonous science, so I saw it by accident."

Liang Ting looked at him and said nothing.

Xie Zhixu was afraid of being regarded as a suspect, so he explained: "I have indeed studied poison theory, and I have the Tangmen new edition of the World's Hundred Poisons Encyclopedia in my hand, so I can identify these poisons one by one. The poisoner's technique is clever, maybe you need to be in charge Help prevent it."

Liang Ting looked back: "Leave the book, people can go."

Xie Zhixu: "???"

"I'm afraid you have no idea about the owner of the land under your feet. This dress is woven from silkworms that grew up eating grass." Liang Ting shook his sleeves, and a dark golden light flashed across the black skirt, "don't say anything A piece of willow leaves means that we are in the midst of poisonous weeds and flowers. As long as this clothes is there, it will be invulnerable to all kinds of poisons. Besides, I wear poison-avoiding beads on my body, and there are medicine bags hanging on the four corners of the gazebo, which have the effect of dispelling poisonous smoke and miasma. Efficacy. If you recognize it or not, you can’t do anything to me anyway, so why do you need to do this extravagantly.”

Xie Zhixu's head was full of black lines, and he deeply realized that his vision still needs to be broadened.

"Besides..." Liang Ting raised his eyes, scanning Xie Zhixu's whole body, his eyes gave him a sense of insignificance as if he was being looked down upon by an eagle fighting the sky.The tone is mocking.

"A willow leaf can be poisoned only if it is dissolved in water and splashed on the whole body; the charcoal fire is mixed with poisonous powder, but it is set on fire in a ventilated gazebo on all sides; and what kind of fish can be fatal only if eaten, but This little fish fry the size of a bean is not enough to fit between the teeth, so no one would eat it. Although the thief in the dark is poisonous, I don’t think he has much brains, hehehe, there is nothing to be afraid of.”
