Two door panels were placed on the ground. Wen Kui and Xiao Hong were lying on one each. The former was dying and the latter was in a coma. Two monks were squatting beside them to treat them.
Wen Kui's body was covered with whip marks until blood was visible. Several ribs were broken, several fingers were broken, and all the fingernails were pulled out. Not to mention other injuries. All in all, they were terrible to look at.
Fan Wuchou remained silent with a straight face, his brows furrowed.
The other Qinglian Mountain disciples on the side couldn't help but mutter, "Elder, what is that woman doing? After all, he is the housekeeper of the Wen Mansion. He just asks questions when he is detained for questioning. How come he was executed and injured to death?"
Like this?"
To be honest, no one here expected that Wen Guo would dare to do this to Wen Kui. No one is usually obedient in front of Wen Kui.
Fan Wuchou chuckled, "God knows how that woman's husband and daughter died."
Before, based on the theory of who benefits and who is the murderer, many people had doubted the second brother, but seeing that the second brother also died like that, they became suspicious. Now, the situation of attacking Wen Kui and others has given rise to doubts.
The feeling of impatientness is too obvious.
But what can be done? Even if someone else did it, their purpose has been achieved and successful, and the second wife is already the only heir.
In this matter, no one can "unjustly accuse" the second wife without evidence.
Even Fan Wuchou could only shake his head and sigh.
Normally, the people who sit here in Qinglian Mountain, in addition to going down the mountain for training, are responsible for looking after the home and nursing home, and are responsible for the connection between Qinglian Mountain and the Wen family. They try not to interfere with the specific internal affairs of the Wen family, otherwise they will still be in trouble.
Why do you want Wenshi? In terms of relationships between men and women, you keep a distance from Wenshi.
There is no other way. It is normal for big families to fight for power within themselves. If you don’t keep your distance, some people will take a fancy to your influence and will try their best to get you involved.
It is difficult to distinguish who is a human and who is a ghost.
After rescuing him for a while, Wen Kui's breathing finally stabilized, and the medicine controlled the physical pain.
Fan Wuchou knelt down at this moment and asked, "Kuizi, where is Wen Xin?"
Wen Kui tilted his head slightly to one side and said nothing.
Fan Wuchou took out the letter from the headmaster from his sleeve, shook it open, and spread it in front of his eyes, "Read it for yourself."
Wen Kui read it over and finally said, "Let's wait until the leader comes to talk."
Fan Wuchou: "Do you suspect that this letter is false, or do you suspect that there is something wrong with me?"
Wen Kui: "Except for the dead at the banquet, everyone else alive may have problems, including me."
Fan Wuchou rolled his eyes, understood, stood up, and cursed, "You could have saved a lot of trouble if you told me earlier. You old boy deserves to suffer."
There is no need to talk too much. It is useless to say anything after knowing it. People will not say anything. Judging from their attitude, the entire Wen family may think that he, the elder of Qinglian Mountain, is the most dangerous person. There is no way to say this in people's hearts.
Already...
In the pavilion outside the Jade Garden, after Zou Yunting dismissed the guards, he quietly stood behind a window and quietly observed the activities in the Jade Garden through the cracks in the window.
Qinglianshan disciples have their own dining hall. He found in the dining hall that his junior sister Song Pingping asked the cook to make steamed buns, saying that she wanted to eat steamed buns.
The cook did as he was told, and the buns were steamed, but the junior sister did not eat them in the dining hall. She packed a basket of buns and went back, saying she was going back to Yuyuan to eat.
How can he not be clear about his junior sister if others don't know it well? With his understanding of his junior sister, he knew there was something wrong as soon as he heard it, so he came here to keep an eye on her.
After waiting for a while, I suddenly saw the door of the junior sister's room in the Jade Garden opened, and someone came out. She was swinging her sleeves and seemed to be walking in the Jade Garden. The person wandered around the Jade Garden twice, and then turned to a place where trees obscured her sight.
After arriving at the place, it seemed that they stopped to rest, and no one came out for a while.
Song Pingping appeared again and returned to her house.
It was not until the evening that Song Pingping showed up again. This time she left Yuyuan and went to the Qinglian Mountain disciples’ garrison area.
Not long after she left, Zou Yunting entered the Yuyuan. After observing around for a while, he went straight to the high pavilion to observe the blind spot of the Yuyuan, which was the place where Song Pingping disappeared before. He checked the area carefully and found nothing.
What's unusual is that a rockery seems to be more conspicuous. He has also checked it everywhere. It is thick and no part can be moved. No abnormality is found.
He was a little surprised. Could it be that he was overthinking it?
However, after careful consideration, based on his understanding of his junior sister, he still remained suspicious of this area.
He did not stay long and quickly left Yuyuan and returned to the Qinglian Mountain disciple garrison area to find out where Song Pingping was.
Song Pingping first went to visit Wen Kui, but only glanced at him from a distance. Then she sat in a pavilion, leaning on the table, holding her chin with her hands, dazed, lost in thought.
“This bracelet is very nice, and it looks a bit familiar.”
Suddenly, the voice of senior brother came to her ears. Song Pingping turned around and saw that it was senior brother. She immediately stood up with a smile like a flower. Then she looked at an amber-colored bracelet on her wrist and subconsciously put down her sleeves to cover it up.
Wen Xin also has an almost identical bracelet on her wrist. The one on her hand was given to her by Wen Kui not long ago.
“When Wen Xin was here, I borrowed Wen Xin’s Dai Dai.”
Song Pingping made an excuse and didn't tell the truth to her senior brother this time. She swore to Wen Kui that she would keep the secret until the leader came.
Of course, she does like to borrow Wenxin’s accessories or clothes.
Zou Yunting made a sound and said, "Speaking of Wen Xin, I just heard that there seems to be a clue about Wen Xin in the second room. I don't know if they have found it yet."
Song Pingping looked at him with wide eyes.
“I have something else to do, let’s talk about it later.” Zou Yunting dropped the words and left.
Song Pingping was no longer calm, walking back and forth in the pavilion, anxious and anxious.
After a while, she quickly went to the canteen again, and hurriedly pretended to leave without waiting for the cook to prepare all the food.
She hurried back to the Jade Garden, observed the situation in the Jade Garden, and then quickly went back into the house, prepared the food, packed it and stuffed it into her sleeves to cover it up, and then went out again and started wandering around the Jade Garden.
After swaying, he arrived behind the rockery. He quickly crouched down at the foot of the rockery, reached into a hole, and touched an iron ring deep inside. He pulled it and a slight click sounded.
A whole pile of rocks on the side was opened like a drawer. When it was pulled to the end, it stopped, and a gap appeared.
Song Pingping ducked in and the entire rock that she pulled out slowly returned to its place automatically.
Among the rows of trees opposite the agency, on the branch of a big tree, Zou Yunting, who was hiding behind, was half exposed. Although he had some guesses, he was still surprised. He didn't expect that there was such an agency in the Yuyuan.
Entrance.
He suddenly jumped out and landed next to the rockery. He looked around again. Because he knew the location of the entrance to the agency, he realized that no matter which angle he looked at the Jade Garden from the outside world, the area behind the rockery happened to be a blind spot.
, it can be said that it is clever but not workmanlike.
He also squatted down, stretched out his hand and groped into the gap between the rocks, felt the iron ring and pulled it out with a click, and slowly pulled away the rock...
A solitary lamp was dimly lit and placed on the steps.
A lonely figure was also sitting on the steps, hugging his knees, tilting his head and resting his head on his knees, looking at the dim butter lamp. It was Wen Xin who felt sad.
Her eyes were red and swollen from crying, and her mind was filled with her grandfather's voice and smile. She cried alone in the dark for a long time.
The flame of the oil lamp swayed slightly, which slowly woke her up, and she slowly turned back to look at the darkness above the steps.
She didn’t know what to stare at in the darkness other than the flames. She was afraid if she stared into the darkness.
She was really scared when a person was thrown into the dark underground. Sometimes there seemed to be strange sounds coming from deep in the tunnel.
She kept staring at the flames, which showed her experience. Every time the flames flickered, she knew someone was coming in.
As expected, footsteps were heard soon after, and Song Pingping’s figure soon appeared.
As soon as Song Pingping arrived, she tried her best to smile for her. She stood at the foot of the steps in front of her and took out the packed food from her sleeves. "Xin'er, guess what delicious food I brought for you."
Wen Xin shook his head slightly, still not wanting to eat.
Song Pingping looked at the food on the steps. There were meat soup in the morning and steamed buns at noon, which were still there. She couldn't help but sighed, "Xin'er, don't be sad. Just eat a little, as much as possible, for the whole meal."
If you don’t eat for days, your body won’t be able to bear it.”
Wen Xin: “Sister Pingping, I’m not hungry.”
"Alas." Song Pingping sighed and put the packed food on the steps. But at this moment, she suddenly grabbed the hilt of the sword at her waist, stared at the way she came and shouted, "Who?"
Wen Xin immediately stood up nervously and looked towards the entrance.
Huh, after a whistling sound of wind, a little firelight lit up and turned into a little flame, illuminating a face, which was Zou Yunting holding a fire folding piece in his hand.
The two women were stunned at the same time.
“Senior brother?” Song Pingping was also a little at a loss, but she still let go of the hilt of the sword in her hand. She quickly reacted and realized how her senior brother found this place. She suddenly said angrily: “Senior brother, are you tricking me?”
Zou Yunting walked down step by step, walked to the two of them, looked at the simple things placed on the steps, raised his eyes and stared at Wen Xin, and found that even though this woman looked haggard, she still looked like him, and asked
: "From last night until now, you have been huddled here alone?"
Wen Xin was silent and slightly nervous.
She still remembered the images of many family members who had died, as well as her grandfather's final words, which made her realize that someone might be trying to harm her.
"You don't have to be afraid, I won't harm you." Zou Yunting comforted, and then accused Song Pingping: "Junior sister, why do you hide this from me? Why don't you tell me? If there is something wrong, can't I help you?"
Song Pingping pouted and muttered: "I don't want to either. It was arranged by Manager Wen. I agreed not to tell anyone, not even Master. Manager Wen said that Xiner would not be allowed to go out until the boss came. I
I think there is nothing wrong with leaving Xin'er to the boss."
She had her reasons. Zou Yunting stopped talking and looked at Wen Xin again. Thinking of Wen Guo's words about letting him take Wen Xin away, he couldn't help but feel a surge in his heart. His eyes suddenly focused on Wen Xin's fingers.
An antique ring is worn on the thumb like a spanner.
He knew this ring. It was worn by the head of the Wen family all the time.
After the scene was quiet for a while, Zou Yunting asked: "Xin'er, what are you going to do next?"
Song Pingping didn't like the gentle tone in which he spoke to Wen Xin, because he wouldn't be so gentle to her, so she immediately helped Wen Xin answer the question, "Of course I'll wait for the boss to come."
Zou Yunting ignored her and continued to say to Wen Xin: "Xin'er, haven't you had enough of the dangers in this rich family? Come with me, I will take you away and take you to a safe place."
Song Pingping frowned, "Brother, what did you say?"
Shua! Zou Yunting suddenly drew his sword and looked back to where he came from.
Soon, Song Pingping also heard the footsteps of a group of people, and drew her sword in her hand to be alert.
"What your senior brother means is that he and Xin'er will be paired up, and he and Xin'er will fly far away."
At the top of the dark steps, Mr. Wen Guo's laughter suddenly came in reply.
