After losing his memory, he was with his old enemy

After meeting Yang Pingzhu, he kindly offered to take Qi Ling and Wu Nong to live with him.

Afraid that it would be too late that day, Qi Ling stayed in the inn for another day, but Wu Nong seemed to have suffered some serious blow, and as soon as he returned to the room, he held him down and bit his neck again.

"Do you know what's wrong? Do you dare?" Wu Nong's eyes were fierce, and he let out all the anger he had received during the day.

Qi Ling touched the back of his neck with one hand: "Where did you learn to bite your neck!"

After finally kissing a little softly, he bit his neck so hard.

Qi Ling was so angry that he wanted to cry, "Don't bite your neck!"

Wu Nong didn't care, he kept his mouth shut and continued to gnaw.

Qi Ling couldn't catch his breath, he spoke intermittently, and it took him a long time to say the words "I was wrong".

Seeing him submitting, Wu Nong eased his brows as if he had just succeeded, and finally stopped.

"..." Qi Ling wrapped himself in a quilt again.

There was no movement outside for a long time, and it was stuffy and hot under the quilt. Qi Ling had just moved a bit when he heard Wu Nong's voice from beside him: "Then tell me, what's wrong?"

Qi Ling: "..."

He was afraid that Wu Nong would bite him again when he was unhappy, and said, "I... shouldn't have put my arm around Brother Yang's shoulder..."

Wu Nong: "What else?"

"You shouldn't go to the market with Brother Yang."

"anything else?"

"...No, shouldn't... be mad at you with Brother Yang?"

"...all wrong!" Wu Nong said, "Do you still remember what the man in the teahouse told you?"

"You shouldn't hide, if you like me, just say it."

"If you like me, take the initiative."

The deity will not laugh at the high priest.

"..." Qi Ling touched his hot face, and decided not to say a word to this rascal again.

According to Qi Ling's request, Yang Pingzhu got someone to make a list of the dead after returning home, and the two met on the bank of the Xuntang River the next day.

Seeing the name on it, Qi Ling asked: "The people who died here usually took the boat when transporting goods?"

"Uh... yes." Yang Pingzhu didn't understand why Qi Ling asked this, his eyes wandered around, and finally fell on Qi Ling's tightly packed neck, and asked: "Brother Qi... are you so cold... ..."

Hearing this, Qi Ling was stunned for a moment, remembering the red seal there, and continued to look at the list pretending nothing happened.

Today, the tea leaves in Xuntang Hanoi have disappeared, the smell of tea has dissipated, and the river water is as clear as ever.Without those tea leaves, merchant ships can go together again. At this time, people who use bamboo rafts often have to give way to merchant ships.

Qi Ling put down the list, and went to look at the people who delivered the goods indifferently.

When the boat moves, it is easy to set off water waves, the water surface shakes one after another, and the underwater part of the hull will appear for a while and be buried by the water for a while.

Qi Ling frowned slightly.

Yang Pingzhu asked: "What do you want this list for?"

As soon as the words finished, Qi Ling returned the list to him and said, "It's useless."

"...Huh?" Yang Pingzhu was taken aback for a while. He had worked so hard to collect the list yesterday. Is it useless to just glance at it?He followed Qi Ling, and asked again: "Where is Brother Wu?"

"...Don't mention him." When Wu Nong was mentioned, Qi Ling's expression became uneasy, "Tell him to find the second senior brother and sixth senior sister."

Every day he knew that Nao had not contacted him to perfunctory him. If Qi Ling wanted to say that Wu Nong did it on purpose, he should have never contacted them at all.

So this morning he said to Wu Nong: "If you don't go to them again and delay the mission, Master will definitely punish you when you go back."

Once Wu Nong thought that if the head of Linyang punished Qi Ling, he would not be able to save him in order not to expose his identity...

In the end, he still went to find someone, thinking that Qi Ling had just "been punished" yesterday, so he would not dare to do anything else with Yang Pingzhu today.

Yang Pingzhu could see that he was unhappy, so he quickly changed the subject: "You just kept staring at those bamboo rafts and boats, what did you see?"

Qi Ling said: "There is a problem with this river."

Yang Pingzhu was stunned: "Isn't this nonsense?"

No problem, how come tea leaves suddenly appear every few days?

Qi Ling said again: "It's not the tea leaves, but the wood is not rotten."

"What?" Yang Pingzhu didn't respond.

Qi Ling said: "Bamboo rafts and boats are made of bamboo and wood, and it takes at least ten days to transport goods by water. There is no protection under the bamboo raft and it is in direct contact with the water. The wood has been soaked in water for a long time, but there is no trace of rot. On the contrary, there are waterproof devices under Fang Fangcai’s boats, but there are still black rotten wood on the wood.”

Hearing what he said, Yang Pingzhu felt that it made sense, "So... the river here is doing the trick?"

"I don't know." Qi Ling said: "Go to Shen Wan first, you lead the way."

"..." Yang Pingzhu restrained his smile, and suddenly stopped walking.

Qi Ling also stopped and turned to look at him.

"Brother Qi, you didn't tell me that you were going to find..." Yang Pingzhu said, "You should have heard about it when you came here, my family and the Shen family..."

"I know." Qi Ling straightened his face, "But you came back this time, isn't it also for this matter?"

Yang Pingzhu turned his head to one side and did not speak.

When he came back this time, he was actually entrusted by his master to solve the unexplained drowning death of Xuntang people.

In addition, Master also told me a piece of news: his sister is still alive.Go back to Xuntang to have a look, maybe there will be clues.

"You told me yesterday that Shen Changzhou has also returned." Qi Ling frowned, and continued: "Is there a possibility that the idea of ​​finding Shen Wan is correct?"

"And... I..." Although there is no basis for this statement, Qi Ling still said it: "My intuition."

His intuition said that as long as he found Shen Wan, those matters could be resolved.

"Let's go find him." Yang Pingzhu was silent for a while, then walked around Qi Ling with his head down: "The Shen family won't let people in so easily."

Qi Ling followed, the two walked silently for a while, Yang Pingzhu suddenly said: "Shen Wan is not as kind as you heard."

Qi Ling looked at him.

Yang Pingzhu went away by himself, and said: "When the relationship between the Shen and Yang families was not bad, I went to the Shen family to find that person to play with."

A good time was more than ten years ago.

That person refers to Shen Changzhou.

"That time I entered the secret room of Shen Wan's room by mistake, and I saw it..." Yang Pingzhu clenched his sleeves tightly, as if he was holding back something, "He raised a lot of people in it... a lot of... brothel girls... without clothes, There is blood all over the body... there are whips on the wall..."

Qi Ling: "..."

"Shen Wan's habit was later discovered by Mrs. Shen. At that time, I was still in the Shen family, and he beat her in front of outsiders. Mrs. Shen didn't know spiritual power, so I had to let him beat her." Yang Pingzhu said no here. After going down, Qi Ling can also guess the back.

"After Shen Wan became a tea merchant, he suddenly changed his nature, gave those women some money, and dismissed all the women in the family." Yang Pingzhu walked faster and faster, gritted his teeth and said, "What is the use of his atonement like this...? "

"Some things, no matter what he does, he can't cover up the traces, and he can't chase them back."

Qi Ling quickened his pace to follow, and saw the complicated emotions in his eyes sideways.

"Sister..." Yang Pingzhu whispered, "Qinglan...it was because he betrayed the Shen family that Qinglan disappeared."

It's not good for Qi Ling to ask further about Yang Pingzhu's younger sister, but after listening to him, he probably has a more comprehensive understanding of Shen Wan.

Different people have different evaluations of him, and in the final analysis, you still have to see it with your own eyes.

Walking along the way, Qi Ling saw that the mansion in Suzhou was almost surrounded by low houses, only the walls were exposed, and they were staggered in the alleys, as if blending with the surroundings, without feeling abrupt at all.

The Shen family's mansion is a little different. There is a lot of land in front and back of the house. There are two stone lions standing in front of the gate. Compared with other buildings in Xuntang, it looks very ostentatious.

Qi Ling met Wu Nong at the gate of Shen's house, and asked doubtfully, "Did you find it?"

Wu Nong hummed.

Isn't it easy to find two people when the deity is out?

Qi Ling: "Where are people?"

"Go to Yang's mansion." Wu Nong pulled Qi Ling over in front of Yang Pingzhu, and walked towards Shen's house, "Chu Yu'er was injured a little, Chu Zhijian is taking care of her."

Qi Ling nodded half-believingly, but was stopped by the servants at the gate of Shen's house when he walked halfway.

"This is Shen's house, you have come to the wrong place."

Qi Ling paused, feeling strange: "That's right, we are looking for Patriarch Shen."

"What are you looking for from our Patriarch?" The two looked impatient, glaring at Yang Pingzhu and said: "The young master who is not from the Yang family? Our Shen family doesn't welcome it."

Yang Pingzhu frowned: "You——! The Shen family knows what they have done. It was clear that you were unrighteous in the first place. How could you have the face to say such things now!"

He went up to fight with the two servants who were guarding the door, but the closed door suddenly opened by itself, and the steward of Shen's house came out and saluted, and said: "The master said, since the person who came was Young Master Yang, Then they are all guests, please."

Qi Ling was a little confused, they had just quarreled, how did Shen Wan know the news so quickly?

The three of them followed the butler into Shen's house, and the servants were trimming the potted plants. They all knew Yang Pingzhu, and they didn't give him a good look when they saw him.

Qi Ling thought to himself: The Shen family looks kind and friendly outside, but inside the mansion, even the servants dare to cast contemptuous glances at the Yang family. It seems that Shen Wan's betrayal really made the relationship between the two families very tense.

He looked over along the way and found nothing wrong.

When he reached the front hall, Shen Wan was already sitting there waiting, seeing them coming, he hurriedly asked his servants to make tea.

Everyone was seated, but the tea hadn't been served yet.

Shen Wan picked up the teacup and took a sip unhurriedly.Qi Ling looked at the layout of the house, only felt that although it was a bit extravagant, he didn't see anything else.He gave Wu Nong a look, and Wu Nong nodded, expressing that he really didn't notice anything unusual.

Also, who puts things that don't make it to the table in the front room.

Shen Wan put down his teacup, cleared his throat, and finally said with a smile: "Young Master Yang, what did you mean when you came here? If I remember well, you are practicing on Qianhe Mountain this year. It's your friend there."

Yang Pingzhu was expressionless and didn't say a word.

Shen Wan had expected such a result a long time ago, so he didn't get angry on his face, he just saw the servant who brought the tea and waved his hand to signal her to serve the tea quickly.

Yang Pingzhu ignored him, Shen Wan turned to Qi Ling and Wu Nong again, "You two came to Xuntang to taste our tea. The tea in my Shen residence is not something you can drink in ordinary teahouses, Try it, both of you."

"This tea..." Qi Ling looked at the leaves in the tea, and said with a light smile, "Patriarch Shen, I don't like this tea, can I... pick some tea from outside?"
