Relief

Chapter 23

Although the island in the lake is an island, there are also mountains and valleys on the island. The life of the manor is mostly dependent on the mountains, and you can often see people going to the mountains to hunt and cut wood.

The hunters have lived on the island in the lake for generations, and as tenants of the island owner, as long as they give some small money, they can inquire about many strange stories circulating in the manor.

After Xie Zhixu left Huzhong Island, he went to Quzhou to execute the prison. When he returned to the restaurant street where Piaoxiang called Baiduan at dusk, hungry, he realized that he forgot to eat lunch.

He meets Wu Li and Yue Guan Shan having dinner together in a small restaurant.It's not that he dislikes the small size of restaurants, but because of Xie Zhixu's understanding of martial arts, he thought he would go to a high-end hotel like Chun Zun Xian to improve his quality of life.

"I've run out of money," Wu Li explained, picking up a piece of stir-fried cabbage gracefully and reluctantly, "I've seen your account, do you still have money?"

Xie Zhixu: "Brother Yue has no money?"

Yueguan Mountain said indifferently: "Chunzun Xiandong asked me for ten taels of silver, and all my belongings were searched."

Xie Zhixu silently pulled out his chopsticks, looked at a table of green lettuce stir-fried with celery and greens mixed with broad beans, deeply felt the plight of not being able to eat when throwing chopsticks.Sure enough, the poor gather around the poor too...

Wu Li said: "Your family has a big business, where can't you get money from the bank?"

Yue Guanshan replied: "That's not okay. My old man is looking for me all over the Central Plains. If you want to let him know that I have a record of using the bank in Suzhou, I'm sure he will kill me tomorrow and take me back and lock me up."

This is the first time that the brothers and sisters know that Yueguanshan ran away from home secretly.

"Peanuts, melon seeds, fruits, fragrant medicine...Guest officer, come and order." The small restaurant does not prevent the idlers who are begging for rewards from entering and leaving.A little servant wearing a linen blouse and showing two thin arms stood beside their dining table with a fruit plate. It was a little girl with a croissant head.

Xie Zhixu asked: "Did your family disapprove of you going around looking for martial arts competitions? Then you are still so ostentatious."

Yue Guanshan glanced at the table: "Hmm..."

Xie Zhixu: "Huh?"

Wu Li said: "Do you want some fruit?"

Xie Zhixu was taken aback for a moment, and it took him a long time to realize that there was a little girl standing beside her. The fruit plate was full of small heads and various colors. At first glance, it was the sour fruits picked from the roadside trees in the streets and alleys. "Come on, can't you go to the fruit shop to buy it later?"

The little girl looked at him eagerly.

With two bangs, Yue Guanshan threw the copper plate and the steamed buns left on the dining table into the fruit plate, and picked up a few fruits.The little girl got the reward, said a few sweet words, and ran out of the restaurant happily.There was a little boy sitting on the threshold with a snot in his nose. When he saw his sister coming out, he staggered to his feet, and the two children shared the steamed buns.

With the food between Wu Li, the other end of the chopsticks touched the mountain: "Thank you."

Yue Guanshan waved his hand.

Xie Zhixu looked to the left and then to the right.After all, his three senior brothers were not from rich and noble families. Although they have lived an extremely refined life after living with the master, they are still good at observing words and demeanor.What about Yueguan Mountain?Why is he?

"Don't look at me like that, I'm still a senior in the sect," Yue Guanshan raised his eyebrows, "I've been standing there for a long time, and I'm not short-hearted."

The heartless Xie Zhixu was momentarily at a loss for words, subconsciously looked at the two children at the door, but didn't know that the restaurant was facing the back of Chun Zunxian, the windows of the private room on the second floor were opened, and red wax lamps and golden gauze curtains floated Light paints shadows, wine, sex, singing and dancing catches the eye.

"Huh?" Xie Zhixu narrowed his eyes, "Isn't that...is that the second senior brother?"

Wu Li turned his head when he heard this.

Opposite to a window on the second floor, a plausible wheelchair back was printed on the window screen.

"Are you dazed?" Wu Li turned his head after only one glance, "Is it true that all you see in front of you is Feng Er Er?"

Xie Zhixu actually nodded seriously: "Really, senior brother, let me ask you something, second senior brother, does he not have leg problems? I met him this morning, and he can still stand up and walk two steps by himself."

Wu Li was not surprised at all: "He can walk, but his calf is limping because of the malalignment of his calf. That kid has a high posture, so how can anyone see him limping."

On the street in front of the restaurant, a group of men and horses, dressed like soldiers from Liang's family, walked by.The tall and tall man in the lead had the same front profile as the others, but a part of the back of his head had sunk in, which was quite strange.

Huh?Is it Tang Haifeng?

Xie Zhixu watched them disappear on the other side of the door frame.

Not long after, Tang Haifeng's figure appeared in the open window sash on the second floor of the opposite hotel, leading the menacing soldiers, striding across half of the corridor.Stop in front of a private room.It was the private room that faintly revealed the outline of a wheelchair.

"Not good!" Xie Zhixu suddenly realized that the Liang family might have listened to Tang Haifeng's words and came to arrest him.

"What's wrong?" Wu Li was so frightened that he dropped his chopsticks.

"Brother Yue!" Xie Zhixu hurriedly grabbed the fur on Yueguanshan's fur jacket, "Can you do me a favor, can you send me to the private room on the second floor opposite?"

Yue Guanshan jumped to his feet, and slapped Xie Zhixu's hand away: "If you lose a hair, I will fight with you, let go! ——Isn't Chun Zunxian opposite, can't you go through the main entrance?"

"The situation is urgent!" He saw the soldiers of the Liang family's mansion stop at the door of the private room, and another figure of a man with curly hair and a crown appeared on the window screen, and Tang Haifeng had already entered!

"Quick! It's the one with the closed window!"

Yue Guanshan grabbed Xie Zhixu's shoulders, lifted him up like a chicken, and stepped on the bench with his boots.Unlike Guanshi Fu, Xie Zhixu didn't feel light all over. Instead, his feet were like stepping on a ladder. Every time he took a step, a burst of energy exploded on the soles of his shoes, sending him to a higher level.

This is the unique lightness kung fu of Tianti Mountain in Liangzhou, going up to the top of the mountain.

Wu Li waved the handkerchief behind them: "Remember to come back and pay the bill!"

Yue Guanshan kicked open the window and threw Xie Zhixu into the private room.

Fortunately, there was no one sitting in front of the window, Xie Zhixu slammed his face down on the floor, got up and wiped his face.

The screen in the private room was violently knocked down, Tang Haifeng stood tall and majestic at the door, and there were a group of guards outside the door, all of them were shocked by the way Xie Zhixu entered through the window, and they all drew their swords to be on guard.

Tang Haifeng was condescending, with his nostrils facing Xie Zhixu, he paused every word: "Thank you, junior brother?"

Xie Zhixu got up from the ground: "No thanks, no thanks, Senior Brother Tang, it's a coincidence that we meet again, we're all from our own family, everyone, put away your knives!"

Tang Haifeng took advantage of his words, and his face was a little ugly: "Who is your own?"

Xie Zhixu stretched out a finger, swayed around the people at the door, and finally settled on the person in charge of the dining table in the private room: "Of course I am my own brother. Brother Tang, our two families have a long history It's quite deep, it's not very good when swordsmen meet."

From Brother Tang to Brother Tang, the inside and outside are clearly marked.

As expected, Feng Zhichang was in the chief seat, and Liu Liu ate with him.I don't know if it's bad luck or what, since Xie Zhixu met his second senior brother, nine times out of ten times he met in an unusual way.So much so that Feng Zhichang simply turned his head away and refused to look at each other, his posture was full - I don't know him, who and these two idiots are our own.

Tang Haifeng was obviously angered by this attitude of treating the room as nothing, and he snorted coldly, "It's not too good for your senior brother to hurt someone and kill him."

As the guard stepped forward, the blade buzzed, with a strong killing intent.

Feng Zhichang raised his eyelids and nodded, and Liu Liu poured tea with him.

Xie Zhi humbly said, at this time, do you still have the mind to drink tea? !He raised his palms and shouted: "Slow down! You said that my senior brother shot and hurt someone, who was hurt, and what evidence is there?"

The Liang Mansion surrounded the room in such a grand manner that no sound could be heard on the entire second floor.I don't know how many pairs of ears are erected through the screen.

Tang Haifeng looked at Xie Zhixu like a fool: "Not to mention the four people from other counties before, just the matter of Mr. Liang, I remember that you were also in Liang's mansion that day, brother Xie. Why? Now, in order to protect others, you have to Turn your face and deny it? It’s useless to say more! We have found evidence.”

Xie Zhixu refused to budge: "Please show the evidence."

Tang Haifeng was confident: "The evidence is the poisonous powder left on the seats of the Goulanyuan stage on the day Mr. Liang fell into a coma! The powder has been collected by us and sent to Miaoshoutang. We only need to develop an antidote to bring Mr. Liang back. If you don’t do harm to others, you’ll fall into the trap instead!”

This shout spread Feng Zhichang's name all over the restaurant, and there will be many rumors and gossips the next day.

Xie Zhixu hadn't realized that he had such a strong desire for revenge before, so he immediately yelled, "Tang Haifeng! You don't want to spitting!"

The roar shook even Tang Haifeng, resounding everywhere in the restaurant.

Rumors, of course, the protagonists must be complete, and one cannot favor one over another.

"You said that the powder has been sent to Miaoshoutang, has the doctor proved that it was the poison that Mr. Liang was poisoned and not the pastry powder left over from the next day!"

Tang Haifeng said in disbelief: "How can it be cake powder?"

Xie Zhixu: "Okay, that is, the doctor has not confirmed that the powder is indeed poison. Let me ask you again, you led people to search the stage, did you find the fruit seed oil paper and melon skin cake crumbs left by the audience yesterday?"

Tang Haifeng tugged at the corners of his mouth and gritted his teeth: "What kind of melon skin cake crumbs, what are you talking about..."

Xie Zhixu interrupted: "Okay, it seems that there are none of these. You all worked hard to clean the stage for a long time, but only found a little bit of powder. It must be because the boy in the Goulan courtyard was lazy and did a good job of sweeping up all the rubbish on the stands. Only the leftover powder is for you to discover—you don’t have to refute me, I’m talking about the boy, not you. Or is it that the things you left have made the boy bear the wrong name and feel guilty?”

Tang Haifeng's face was as dark as a stove, he had already fully understood the meaning behind Xie Zhixu's words, and even the guards of the Liang Mansion who followed him lowered their swords and looked at each other.

Xie Zhixu said again: "I have another question!"

Tang Haifeng's cheeks showed the shape of teeth roots: "You, say."

"Did you transport the powder in your hands and passed through countless people, so wouldn't it be impossible to find out if there was anything tricky in it—"

"How could it be possible to hold it in your hand!" Tang Haifeng was furious, "Such a small amount of powder will disperse when the wind blows, of course it is packed in a box and wrapped in three layers...!!"

When he said this, he realized it himself, and his expression changed immediately.

Xie Zhixu spent a lot of time waiting for him to finish interjecting, and finally added leisurely: "Yeah, this powder that disperses when the wind blows, why did you persist for a whole day and a night, and finally waited until Brother Tang and you brought people to search for it thousands of times?" Suddenly look back and see it in a brightly lit place?"

"..."

After Xie Zhixu finished his long speech, he cleared his throat, the back of his hand was touched warmly, and he lowered his head to find that it was Liu Liu who brought a cup of tea, as if to reward him.

Looking at Feng Zhichang again, his eyes and bamboo chopsticks were fixed on the braised sea bass on the dining table.I don't know who this cup of tea is for.

At this time, Tang Haifeng was not as calm as before, and said: "It turns out that your sect is practicing the art of speaking and talking. Brother Xie is really good at eloquence."

Xie Zhixu took a sip of tea and said, "It's easy to say, actually, I don't really want to waste my words, the main thing is that Brother Tang don't give me anything to play."

Tang Haifeng was out of breath, at this time there were three slaps in the private room, he followed the sound and found that there was a person standing on the tiled roof outside the window, wearing a luxurious and extraordinary black fur, and his face was as pale as snow.

Tang Haifeng dare not underestimate this person who can stand on the sloping tile roof as if walking on the ground.

"who are you?"

Yue Guanshan spread his hands: "I'm just a passer-by, and I also think that what this little brother said is quite reasonable, so I applaud to express my agreement."

It couldn't be more obvious who the little brother refers to. Tang Haifeng is at least one round older than Xie Zhixu just by looking at his appearance.It's not that Tang Haifeng looks old, but that Xie Zhixu has a tender face, big eyes, and looks very good.

There are so many people here, Tang Haifeng is unable to get off the tiger, his face is very scary, suddenly a stern voice came from outside the screen.

"What are you doing here?"

With some sense of responsibility.

It was the flute master named Chen Rong who was following Liang Ting.The guards of the Liang residence seemed to be based on him, and they returned their sabers to salute one after another.

Chen Rong was also accompanied by Chun Zunxian's owner, with a wry smile on his front, carefully helped up the fallen screen, and touched the mahogany frame distressedly.
