Chapter 125 Someone is using a kid to steal your luck
"The villain is plotting, and the villain is plotting again. If I catch the person behind the scenes, I have to chop off his hooves!"
Zheng was so angry that she punched the small table with her fist, knocking over the cup of herbal tea on the table.
Shen Qingqing took out her handkerchief and wiped the water stains. When she lowered her head, the carriage suddenly increased in speed. She stood up and went out to check the situation. Suddenly, Meng Yuan's low roar came from outside: "Qingqing, be careful!"
Without thinking much, she quickly turned around and dodged to the side. A sharp arrow pierced the car curtain, grazed the end of her hair, and stabbed into the car body.
The carriage creaked and stopped in the alley.
Zheng was frightened and slipped from her seat, kneeling softly on the ground. She looked at Shen Qingqing in panic, "Qingqing, are you okay?"
Shen Qingqing kicked the small table in front of her, "Protect yourself, I'll go out and see what's going on."
After saying that, he leaned forward and opened the curtain. A cold light flashed outside the car. More than ten men in black stood on the wall of the alley like ghosts, surrounding the carriage.
One of them stood in front of the chariot with a long bow in his hand. Under his feet were broken arrows. Meng Yuan stood between the chariot shafts with a whip in his hand, looking at him coldly, with murderous intent evident on his face.
The man didn't expect that this remote town would have a master who could catch an arrow with a riding crop. A flash of astonishment flashed in his eyes, "What a skill. If you are willing to jump off the carriage and go back the same way, I will let you go."
"It's still unclear who will let whom go."
Meng Yuan said a word and jumped up to the high wall on the left like an eagle flying out of the sky. The riding whip in his hand turned into a sharp blade and he swung it in the air. Four or five men in black on the wall immediately covered their necks and fell to the ground.
Get off the wall.
At the same time as the "boom" sound of landing was heard, he stepped on the shoulders of a man in black and rushed down the wall. The crackling whip was directed at the man in black who spoke at the beginning.
The man in black subconsciously dodged to hide, but the whip wrapped around his waist as if it had eyes. Meng Yuan on the other end of the whip raised his arm, and the man fell to the ground in a panic.
The remaining men in black finally came to their senses, raised their weapons and jumped off the wall towards Meng Yuan. Shen Qingqing stopped watching, took out the Soul Calming Ruler from her waist and jumped down.
The two of them, one wielding a ruler and the other wielding a whip, cooperated tacitly, and within a short time the alley was filled with men in black.
At this time, the man in black who made such nonsense at the beginning finally realized that he had offended someone he shouldn't have offended, and cursed angrily: "Damn it, you've been tricked, let's retreat!"
There was a "crack" and billowing white smoke suddenly appeared in the alley.
"Qingqing."
Meng Yuan let out a low cry and pulled the person next to him into his arms without thinking.
Perhaps because the eyes cannot see, the hearing is particularly keen.
This time she really heard Meng Yuan's heartbeat.
Hitting her eardrums again and again.
With it, her heartbeat gradually became faster.
In fact, the experience just now was not dangerous in her eyes. It was over with a little effort, and it was nothing at all.
But seeing Meng Yuan's nervous look, her heart felt as if it had been soaked in warm water, warm and gentle.
It feels good to have a shoulder to lean on.
When the white smoke dissipated, she raised her head and poked Meng Yuan's chin, "Meng Yuan, everyone is gone, it's okay."
The man lowered his head, looked at her deeply, and after a while, he loosened his arms.
An itch quietly crawled up his cheek along the chin where she had touched it, making his cheek feel slightly hot with the itch.
Meng Yuan turned away, coughed slightly, kicked away the broken arrows at his feet, and said dullly: "Get in the car."
After getting in the car, Zheng quickly pushed open the small table and came up to her, "Qingqing, are you okay?"
Shen Qingqing shook her head, pulled out the arrow stuck in the carriage and threw it out. She turned around and asked her: "Have you offended anyone recently?"
"No, our Zhang family has been doing business in the town for decades. We have always advocated peace as the most important thing and have basically never had any verbal disputes with outsiders."
"This is strange." Shen Qingqing exhaled, "The group of men in black just now were obviously killers hired by others. If there is no grievance or enmity, why did they target the Zhang family like this?"
Meng Yuan, who was driving outside, suddenly answered: "They should be targeting us, or you. Their purpose is not to kill people, but to scare us back."
When the men in black first appeared, he could clearly feel that those people were not serious about killing them. Otherwise, they could just attack by surprise. Why block the carriage into the alley with great fanfare and shoot cold arrows to provoke them?
"Then you don't want me to go to the Zhang family to rescue Mr. Zhang. It seems that this game is targeted at Mr. Zhang."
Shen Qingqing pondered for a moment, then turned to ask Zheng: "Madam, did you tell anyone else that you came to me for help?"
"My master and several servants all know about it." Mrs. Zheng understood the meaning of her words and explained: "Last time, you reminded me that I checked the servants in the house and sent away all those with unknown origins.
I'm back home, is there anything I missed?"
"It's hard to talk about this. Just to be on the safe side, I'll just lock the door when I get home and investigate slowly. I can always find out the culprit."
Zheng made a quick decision and agreed with Shen Qingqing's statement. As soon as she arrived, she immediately called the housekeeper to lock the door, and ordered a few reliable servants to guard all the exits and not let anyone out.
Shen Qingqing and Meng Yuan were led by servants to Zhang Chengyi's room. Before they entered the door, a gloomy air hit their faces. There was indeed a villain in Zhang's house!
Shen Qingqing immediately took out the compass and checked it around. Although the air in the room was heavy, there was nothing dirty. It seemed that she was late and someone had already collected the things in advance.
Zhang Chengyi was as weak as a paper man, lying on the bed sickly. When he saw Shen Qingqing coming in, his eyelids moved, and he didn't even have the strength to say hello.
Shen Qingqing waved her hand, walked to the bedside and asked him: "Have you encountered anything strange these days?"
Zhang Chengyi shook his head and replied feebly: "No... I have been playing chess at home these days. I have never seen anyone else, and I haven't encountered anything special."
"What about dreams? Have you ever had any strange dreams?"
Zhang Chengyi's expression changed, he thought for a moment and said: "Yes, these days I always dream of a baby crying in my ear, saying that he can't find his brother, and asking me if I have seen his brother."
Mrs. Zheng, who came later, couldn't help complaining after hearing this: "I had such a strange dream, why didn't I tell my mother? If my mother had asked someone to come over earlier, wouldn't there be nothing to do today?"
"I thought it was just a dream..." Zhang Chengyi looked confused.
Shen Qingqing interrupted the conversation between mother and son and asked him: "Besides this, did he say anything else?"
"Yes, I said a lot of unintelligible things."
Zhang Chengyi licked his lower lip, "One moment he said he was going to be a high official, and asked me if I wanted to accompany him as an official. The next moment he said he was going to get rich, and then he asked me to borrow money. It was all confusing and without any logic."
He raised his head and looked at Shen Qingqing cautiously, "Miss Shen, is there any problem with this...?"
Shen Qingqing said in a cold voice: "If your guess is correct, someone is using a kid to steal your luck."
Mrs. Zheng exclaimed, "Stealing luck? Isn't human life destined by God? How can it be stolen?" This chapter has been completed!
