You Jianghu people really know how to play

Shen Guangming grabbed another half steamed bun from the fire, bowed his head and said nothing.

He was still in shock and didn't know how to express it for a while.

Shen Zhi's surname is Shen, so he is also surnamed Shen, why would he think about why Shen Zhi's surname is Shen?Shen Zhi picked him up by the river and brought him home, how would he know if it was true?

Maybe my father is indeed from Xinjiabao, but he later took me in, which does not mean that I have any relationship with Xinjiabao.Shen Guangming weighed this idea in his heart, but he couldn't convince himself at all.

He had a vague feeling in his heart: he had a connection with Xinjiapu.

Lin Shao felt that he was silent for a long time, and couldn't help asking: "What's the matter? Isn't this story very nice?"

Shen Guangming hesitated for a moment, shook his head, and lowered his head to gnaw on the fragrant steamed bun.He didn't want to tell Lin Shaoyi about it, but only hoped that Tang Ou would come back soon.

At this time, Tang Ou has successfully entered Xinjiabao.

The defense of Xinjiabao is indeed strict, but Tang Ou is familiar with the structure and terrain of Xinjiabao, and was not discovered by anyone when he sneaked in.Lin Shaoyi had injured Bailiji just now, so it is impossible for him to come out at this moment.Tang Ou's heart became more determined, turned over under the eaves, and landed firmly in front of the house where Mrs. Xin and Xin Chen's souls were placed.

According to Tang Ou's opinion, this small house is more exquisite than the Xin family ancestral hall.Although it is not as neat and orderly as the Xin Family Ancestral Hall, the ingenious ideas in various places are not unsophisticated: the bells on the eaves corners are embossed with Mrs. Xin's favorite plum blossoms in life, and the pillars are the poems of Mrs. Xin's favorite poets. Madam Xin's handwritten poems are engraved on the window lattice.Tang Ou cautiously pushed the door in gently, but it was not locked.

This is the most deserted but also the cleanest place in Xinjiabao, and there are not many people even patrolling.On weekdays, Bailiji stayed on the magnolia tree next to the house, and Tang Ou greeted him several times under the tree.

He pushed the door open through the gap that only allowed one person to enter, and quickly dodged in.

A patrolling servant happened to pass by the gate of the courtyard, took a light with a lamp, turned around and left without finding any suspicious signs.

Tang Ou waited quietly for the sound of footsteps and breathing to go away, and looked up at the layout of the house in front of him.

The house is small, so even if it is empty, it does not look bleak.Two joss sticks were lit on the spirit table, burning weakly.

He stooped and quietly walked around the room without finding any mechanism.Two spirit tablets sit on the spirit table, one with "the lotus seat of my late concubine Xin, mother Shen Ruren taboo Shu Jun", and the other with "the lotus seat of my dead brother Xin Chen".Tang Ou bowed twice, bent down and groped on the ground.

Just under the spirit table, he touched a small groove in the ground.

The groove only allows two fingers to enter, it is just under the curtain of the spiritual table, it is really inconspicuous.Tang Ou stretched his two fingers into the middle of the food, and secretly exerted force on the groove, and he pressed it down.Immediately, he heard a slight cracking sound, and saw a crack in the center of the spiritual table, which became wider and wider, and soon a square black hole appeared.There is a stone ladder under the black opening, Tang Ou was on guard all the way, and walked down carefully.When he reached the last step, he felt the rocks under his feet move slightly, and the spiritual table above slowly closed again.

There was only a torch on the wall in the dark room, and it was very dim.Tang Ou walked all the way, gradually startled.

This darkroom looks like it has been used for many years.Some of the cell doors were gone, and the mottled black blood on the walls had already congealed, making them look hideous under the firelight.Blood splattered everywhere, Tang Ou stood in the cell, looked up and saw that there was even the ceiling above his head.He couldn't help frowning.

Iron shackles are embedded in the wall, and there is such a place, it is not difficult to imagine that this is actually a execution ground.It's just that the ground area is very dusty, and it doesn't look like a frequently used place.Tang Ou only found one cell that was particularly clean, and there were neat straw mats on the stone bed, but there was no door to this dark room, so he didn't know what it was used for.

Going all the way to the end, Tang Ou finally saw a closed stone door.

He tapped his fingers and listened intently.

After a while, a trembling voice came from inside: "Who?"

It's Ah Sui.Tang Ou was overjoyed, and hurriedly told him: "I'm Tang Ou, and I'm here to save you."

He put the torch into the groove on the wall, and turned back to study the stone door carefully.

There is neither a mechanism nor a handle on the stone gate. Tang Ou groped for a long time but couldn't figure it out, so he asked Ah Sui: "How did the Laoshizi gate open? Have you seen them open it?"

Ah Sui had already walked to the edge of the stone gate, and his voice became much clearer: "I have seen it before."

"Need a key?" Tang Ou asked suspiciously, "But there is no keyhole."

"No. It was pushed away directly." Ah Sui said at the top of his voice, "Bailiji pushed it away with his hands!"

Tang Ou was taken aback for a moment, then couldn't help sneering.

Sure enough, strict.There is no mechanism to open this stone gate, if the person imprisoned is a weak person, or the person who comes to rescue is not strong enough, even if they arrive, they will not be able to save them.Since there is no mechanism, this stone gate will not trouble Tang Ou.He pushed up his sleeves, exposing the strong muscles on his arms, and let out a low growl.

Putting his palms against the stone gate, he secretly used Qingyang's mind method, pouring his internal energy into his palms, and soon he heard the trembling stone gate making a rattling sound.

"Brother Tang, you are amazing!" Ah Sui shouted joyfully inside.

The stone door was really under his palm, and it slowly moved away.

The stone chamber was also pitch black, except for a gap where a bit of moonlight leaked in.Ah Sui stood by the door, saw the door opened, got out immediately, and stood firmly against Tang Ou.

Tang Ou grabbed the torch and ordered him to follow him.

"A Sui." Tang Ou asked, "How old are you?"

"do not know."

"Don't you know what's going on at home?"

Ah Sui replied: "I can't figure it out. I only have a piece of jade on my body, and I can't find anything in the rest of the tattered clothes."

"You are younger than Shen Guangming..." Tang Ou murmured, "You should be younger than him. Is that jade piece really yours?"

A Suiqi said: "Of course it's mine. I keep it close to my body all the time."

Tang Ou stood still suddenly, and Ah Sui bumped into his back.

Ah Sui: "???"

Tang Ou looked back at him.

The little beggar in the firelight was very thin.Although he is loved by Uncle Qi and other brothers, he is in the beggar gang after all, no matter how much he loves him, he still has nothing to eat and drink.It was when he was growing tall that Tang Ou thought that if he was really Xin Chen...he would be sixteen or seventeen by now.But Ah Sui looks like a thirteen or fourteen year old child.His hair was a little disheveled, the shoulder patch of his clothes was torn, and the threads were exposed, forming a vague shadow in the light.Tang Ou suddenly remembered what Shen Guangming said.He said that the good things he encountered always outweighed the bad.

What about Ah Sui?Tang Ou thought to himself.The things he encountered in his life may be more bad.

The only good thing is that he met Seventh Uncle and the Beggar Gang.Although he is dressed in rags, he still has a pair of eyes that are not stained with haze.Tang Ou couldn't help stretching out his hand to help Ah Sui straighten his clothes and brush his hair.Ah Sui looked at him in confusion.

"Brother Tang." Ah Sui said, "Did you recognize the wrong person? I'm not Brother Shen."

"No..." Tang Ou hesitated to speak, and asked after thinking for a while, "What's the matter with Shen Guangming?"

A Sui said in a low voice: "You are always like this..."

Tang Ou's tenderness and melancholy dissipated, and he stepped heavily on the last step of the stone steps.Sure enough, the spiritual table slowly moved away again.

The Xinjiabao is still quiet.Tang Ou came out with Ah Sui, turned around and pressed the mechanism carefully, and the spirit table was closed.Seeing the two spirit tablets, Ah Sui was surprised, and quickly clasped his hands together and bowed.

"Don't pray!" Tang Ou quickly stopped him, "What are you praying for!"

Ah Sui was standing in front of the spirit tablet of "Lost Brother Xin Chen's Lotus Bit", looking up blankly.

Tang Ou turned him around, towards "the lotus seat of the first concubine, Xin, mother, Shen Ruren" and said, "You should worship this."

Ah Sui knelt down and kowtowed three times earnestly.

"Why do you worship this and not that?" he asked.

Tang Ou: "...That, that is still a child, it is useless to pray. The one you worship is a very good lady. She will definitely bless you for the rest of your life."

Ah Sui smiled and said, "Is she a good-looking lady? I have seen many kind-hearted ladies, and they are all very good-looking."

"Better looking than all the ladies you have ever seen." Tang Ou whispered, "Go and tell the lady that you are leaving."

Ah Sui didn't know why, but he still followed Tang Ou's words.

The two carefully walked out of the house one after the other, Ah Sui was hesitating how to leave, Tang Ou bent down and said: "I will carry you..."

He stopped talking suddenly, as if feeling something, he suddenly looked up at the magnolia tree in the courtyard.

Bailiji was wrapped in black and was standing on a branch looking at him.

Tang Ou: "..."

Seeing that he found himself, Bailiji rolled up his clothes and jumped down.As soon as he landed, Tang Ou immediately smelled a clear smell of blood.

"You still fight so hard when you are injured?" Tang Ou shook out the long sword from his waist, "A Sui, I want to take it away, but you cut it off when you stop me."

"Don't stop, don't dare to stop." Baili said quickly, "Hero Tang is so ruthless with his Qiushuang sword, who would dare to face him?"

Tang Ou: "...then get out of the way."

Bailiji tightened his clothes again.Ah Sui saw that the hem of his clothes was heavy, and black water droplets fell on the ground.

"You...you are bleeding." He couldn't help but said, "Didn't you bandage it?"

A vague smile appeared on Bailiji's face: "Thank you, young master, Baili is fine. It's just an injury, and he will be fine in two days."

He turned to Tang Ou and said, "I didn't come to stop you, Tang Daxia. I was supposed to rest on the bed, but I couldn't let go of something in my heart, so I still wanted to find you. I just didn't expect it. I just came here and saw You. Since it’s so convenient, I’ll say goodbye to the young master.”

Ah Sui looked at Baili Ji and then at Tang Ou.

"Don't call me young master!" He said angrily, "You have harmed members of our Beggar Sect, and I will settle accounts with you!"

"Seventh uncle is not dead, he escaped. He also caused me internal injuries, everyone is mutual. As for the others, since it is a life-and-death struggle, naturally their lives are in their own hands. If I have no ability, how can I blame the other party for being too strong? Bailiji said, "Young master, you still don't know the world."

Tang Ou interrupted suddenly: "Why do you call him the young master?"

Baili took a step back, leaning against the magnolia tree to breathe.

"He is indeed a young master, why can't he be called?" A smile floated on his face again, but because of the dim light, he couldn't tell the truth from the fake, "Long time no see, young master."

He called the little son one after another, which made Ah Sui feel strange all over.These three words seemed to be mocking, he frowned and stared at Bailiji.

Bailiji smiled at him, and turned to talk to Tang Ou.

The reason why Baili came to Tang Ou was very simple: he told Tang Ou that Xin Muyun was going to blow up the Shaoyi League.

"When the fire broke out ten years ago, only the Beggars' Gang and the Shaoyi League were the most famous among the gangsters. The rest of the Yingzui Sect, Ruyilou, Qingfengzhai, etc. were all insignificant characters." Baili He said quickly, "So what he wanted to deal with the most was these two gangs. The leader of the beggar gang at that time was dead, but Lin Jian was still there. If those two people could stand up, there would naturally be people who would go along with them. Come to the rescue. But they didn't. Since they didn't, this hatred must have taken root in Mu Yun's heart."

Tang Ou was speechless.Naturally, he knew in his heart the truth of revenge and revenge, but this truth was placed on his best friend, which made him unable to pass his own test for a while.

"The Shaoyi League has a martial arts leader, and the beggar gang is deeply entrenched, so it is very difficult to eradicate it. Mu Yun has already decided to attack the Shaoyi League first. The killing of the two disciples of the Beggar Gang this time is all his plan." Baili Ji's face was serious, "The murder of Lin Shaoyi this time is a good opportunity to destroy the Shaoyi League."

"You... The Shaoyi League is still a big gang after all, if you do this, you will be despised by the people of the world!" Tang Ou said angrily, "It's the same with the Beggar Gang, revenge is revenge, you made the disciples of the Beggar Gang What does water corpse mean!"

Baili looked at him coldly.

"I mean very happy." He said, "So many people in Xinjiabao were killed in the fire, isn't it cruel? So many people from rivers and lakes are watching the fire on the top of the mountain, isn't it cruel?"

This sentence made Ah Sui very inexplicable.But he didn't dare to intervene, feeling that this was not the time to intervene.

"Bailiji, why did you tell me these things?" Tang Ou asked.

"I would like to ask you to help him, absolutely stop him from doing this." Bailiji said in a deep voice, "Mu Yun wants to set Shaoyi League on fire."

Tang Ou and A Sui were startled.Ah Sui felt inexplicably uneasy and fearful, clutching the corner of his clothes tightly.

As if seeing his movements, Baili quickly turned his head and gave him a gentle smile.

"If he really ignites the fire, he will have an incomprehensible relationship with this huge Jianghu." Bailiji continued to talk about his thoughts, "The Xinjiabao fire is something that people in the Jianghu dare not mention, it is too embarrassing and too embarrassing." Guilty. This is a tragic event that those fire watchers will never forget for a lifetime, so the growing Xinjiabao will naturally become a thorn in the side of these people, and I am afraid that one day, Mu Yun will settle the old score again."

"So if he deals with the Shaoyi League in such a high-profile manner, what he will get in return will be the crusade by those quacks?" Tang Ou said in a deep voice, "I understand what you mean."

"Xinjiabao is already high-profile enough. He can use more covert methods...but I can't convince him, so I can only tell you about it. Please don't let him do it."

Tang Ou was silent.

The purpose of Bailiji's obstruction of this matter is to protect Xin Muyun and Xin Jiabao, while Tang Ou's obstruction of this matter can protect Lin Shaoyi and everyone in Shaoyi League.Or to put it on a bigger scale: it can make the rivers and lakes temporarily peaceful for a while.

He didn't agree or deny, and bent down to let Ah Sui jump on his back.

"Thank you." Tang Ou whispered.He jumped up to the roof with Ah Sui, and disappeared after a few jumps.

Bailiji rested for a while under the magnolia tree.He opened his robe and saw a long bloody opening on his chest, and his clothes were completely wet with blood.

"Did you tell me everything?" Xin Muyun came from outside and asked him from a distance at the gate of the yard.

Bailiji hurriedly covered the wound: "I've said it all. Lin Shaoyi is definitely not dead. When they return to the Shaoyi League, it's just a pot of stew."

"Okay." Xin Muyun nodded and walked towards the courtyard.When he walked past Bailiji, he could smell the strong smell of blood and corpses on his body, and couldn't help frowning away.

"You stink too much." Xin Muyun said, "Don't approach me until you clean it up."

Bailiji nodded, smiled and grabbed his clothes tightly.Xin Muyun didn't look back, walked straight into the house, turned around and closed the door carefully.
