Chen Xiaomu was suddenly pulled backwards by the green-robed young man behind him, and he stumbled back behind him. With a "plop", Ren Sangui threw himself down where Chen Xiaomu had just been standing. He turned over and stood up from the ground like a carp. He shouted, "Madam, madam, come over quickly and rub my eyes. I don't know what kind of hidden weapon this kid has spread. My eyes are so fascinated that I can't even open them."
Chen Xiaomu walked over from behind the young man in green robes, shaking his head, and said with a smile: "Old boy, now I know what I know..."
"Be careful!" Before Chen Xiaomu could finish his words, the young man in green robe took action again and pulled Chen Xiaomu back.
"Stab!" Chen Xiaomu's sleeve was torn off by Ren Sanguai in the direction of the sound. If the green-robed young man hadn't had quick eyesight and quick hands, his arm would have been lost.
Chen Xiaomu was so frightened that he was sweating. He had an idea and walked from behind the green-robed boy to a place where the three monsters could not leave. He said a word and quickly changed places. The chicken claws of the three monsters kept moving smoothly. Looking at the direction where his voice came from, he scratched around. After a while, Chen Xiaomu was panting from exhaustion and out of breath. However, the three monsters stopped still and did not feel tired at all.
At this time, Wan Lao Bustard came over with a charming smile on his face and wished the green-robed young man a blessing and said, "Master, I've had enough of the commotion and fun. Why don't you guys just leave now? How about that?"
The young man in green robe turned to look at him and said, "You were already there. Just now, the tomb robber had the upper hand and caught my friend. Why don't you come out and smooth things over? Now the tomb robber is blinded. At this time, You stand up and smooth things over! I can't make the decision on this. Just tell this friend of mine and I will listen to him!" The young man in green robe pointed at Chen Xiaomu who was breathing heavily.
Before Chen Xiaomu could speak, Ren Sanguai said harshly: "Madam, what are you doing? Although I can't see, I can deal with these little brats more than enough!"
Wan Lao Bustard glared at Ren Sanguai and said angrily: "Old ghost, shut up, do you know where these young masters come from? They are much more powerful than Zhang Yong, the prefect of Xinjing City back then!"
Ren Sanguai couldn't help but be startled. He would never forget the feeling of Zhang Yong using an iron bar to penetrate his lute bone. He closed his eyes tightly and asked Wan Laobao, "Madam, who are they? Have you found out clearly?"
Wan Lao Bustard shook his head, glanced at Chen Xiaomu secretly and said, "I don't know the background of these young masters, but I know that Zhang Yong was killed by the young master who was talking to you!"
"Ah" Ren Sanguai couldn't help but exclaimed. He quickly bent down in the direction of the gasping sound and made a bow, "My lord, please forgive me for my ignorance!"
Chen Xiaomu sneered: "You yourself said you don't know my identity. Don't you mean that those who don't know are not guilty? Then how can I still blame you?"
Wan Lao Bustard took Ren Sanguai and walked to Chen Xiaomu. With a plop, they both knelt down and said, "This young master has made a big mistake for us and our husband. Please punish me!"
Chen Xiaomu waved his hand, "Forget it, I don't have time to argue with you. Let me ask you, where did you get Zhou Huiniang, who used to live here?"
"This..." Wan Lao Bustard began to hesitate.
Seeing Wan Lao Bustard's guilty look, Chen Xiaomu couldn't help but feel his heart sink, and said sternly: "You thieves won't kill her, will you?"
Wan Lao Bustard was so frightened that he quickly shook his head, "Master, we didn't kill Zhou Huiniang, it's just, just...!"
"Just what happened to her? Can you speak more clearly?" Chen Xiaomu scolded, he was almost dying of anxiety!
''We locked the official, Zhou Huiniang and the little girls around her in the cellar in the backyard. "Ren Sanguai couldn't hold back his voice and angrily told Zhou Huiniang's whereabouts.
When Chen Xiaomu heard this, he quickly waved his hand and said, "You two, please take us over to find her.
"Master, my eyes are now invisible due to your hidden weapon. You have to help me heal my eyes before I can take you to find Zhou Huiniang." Ren Sanguai said.
"Then let your mother-in-law take us to find her first. When we find Zhou Huiniang, I will naturally detoxify the poison in your eyes." Chen Xiaomu pointed at Wan Lao Bustard and said.
''She doesn't understand that there are traps and hidden weapons on the cellar door. If you go in recklessly, you will suffer a loss. You have to heal my eyes first and let me take you in to ensure that everything is safe! " Ren Sanguai said slyly.
Chen Xiaomu thought for a moment, pointed to the belt tied around Wan Lao Bustard's waist and said, "Take off the belt tied around your waist and give it to me!"
Wan Lao Bustard was stunned when he heard this, then pretended to be shy, raised the sleeves of his robe to cover most of his face, only revealing a pair of triangular eyes, and said coquettishly: "Master, so many people are watching! If you are in a hurry, why don't we go Talk in the room!”
Chen Xiaomu almost spat out a mouthful of old blood. This damn thing is all over there. Just like you, are you deliberately trying to disgust me to death? Besides, if you dare to be so unscrupulous in front of your own man, then that’s okay! Looking back at the three monsters, it was as if they hadn't heard anything and didn't react at all. They seemed to be used to it. Chen Xiaomu couldn't help but lamented in his heart, these two guys seemed to be bastards who had an eye for mung beans!
His face immediately turned cold, and he said sternly: "What are you and I doing in the room? I'm just lending you your belt. If you don't want to, you can help me find a rope."
After hearing this, Madam Wan realized that she was being sentimental, and her face became a little embarrassed. She reached out and took off the belt of a woman wearing a kid mask and black clothes standing next to her, and threw it to Chen Xiaomu without saying a word.
Chen Xiaomu took the belt and immediately threw it back. He pointed at Ren Sangui and said to Wan Lao Bustard: "You can tie him up for me. My detoxification method is more painful. I'm afraid this old ghost won't be able to bear it. You'd better tie him up." Keep it tight, otherwise I'm afraid he'll kill you all when he gets mad!"
"Haha, sir, you are looking down on me!" Ren Sanguai said with a smile, "I thought I accidentally fell into the hands of the prefect Zhang Yong. He was afraid that I would escape, so he used the red-hot iron sign to It passed through the pipa bone on my shoulder, and I literally didn’t even say a word!”
Chen Xiaomu asked with a smile, "Old ghost, which one of you and your wife is better at martial arts?"
Ren Sanguai couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Guan Ye, she can't marry me even if she only knows a little bit of Kung Fu as a three-legged cat!"
"Oh, isn't that right! What if you can't stand the pain anymore, lose your mind, and accidentally kill them?"
"Does it hurt that much?" Although Ren Sanguai was a little doubtful, he secretly took a breath.
"Yeah" Chen Xiaomu nodded heavily.
"Master, is there any other less painful way to detoxify?" Ren Sanguai asked.
"Is this it? Yes, there is, but it's too troublesome!" Chen Xiaomu deliberately let it slip.
When Ren Sanguai heard this, he was overjoyed and said quickly: "Master, I'm not afraid of trouble and money. Please help me detoxify quickly. My eyes are numb now and my hands can't be gentle. It's really too much." It’s so uncomfortable!”
"This is not possible. My detoxification method can only be implemented with Zhou Huiniang's help!" Chen Xiaomu said helplessly.
"Master, are you lying to me? In fact, you really want to see Zhou Huiniang!" Ren Sanguai forced a smile.
''Believe it or not, even if you don't take us to see Zhou Huiniang now, we will still find her when the officers and soldiers come to search the house! On the other hand, if your eyes are poisoned for too long, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it by then. "Chen Xiaomu had an indifferent attitude.
Ren Sanguai hesitated for a moment, then whispered to Chen Xiaomu: "Master, can you lend me a moment to speak?
Chen Xiaomu glanced at him warily and said, "If you have anything to do, just say it. If you have to be so sneaky, it will make people suspect that something is wrong."
"Master, I really asked you to tell me, there are some things here that shouldn't be known to unrelated people!" Ren Sanguai had a mysterious expression on his face.
"Old man, what's the matter with you? Do you want to hide this from even my aunt?" Wan Lao Bustard walked up to Ren Sangui and reached out to twist his ears.
Ren Sanguai tilted his head back slightly, successfully dodging Wan Lao Bustard's wrist, and argued, "Madam, have you forgotten? When you rescued me from Zhang Yong, you made a promise to me, every day I will give you one thousand five hundred taels of silver per month as payment, but you don’t care about other things. I can’t interfere with your affairs, especially if there is anything dangerous, I’m not allowed to say anything to you.”
Wan Lao Bustard thought about it and realized that he had indeed said these words at that time, so he snorted softly from his nose, waved to the women wearing imp masks holding knives and the bull-headed and horse-faced men standing behind the gate, and then took this All the gang members hid in the main room at the back, and Chen Xiaomu was the only one left in the huge yard.
"Can we talk now?" Chen Xiaomu asked Ren Sangui.
Ren Sanguai nodded, swallowed, and said to Chen Xiaomu with a rather mysterious look: "Master, do you know who Zhou Huiniang is this time?"
"Isn't she Zhang Yong's concubine? Doesn't she have another identity?" Chen Xiaomu said disapprovingly.
Ren Sanguai nodded, "Yes, she is indeed Zhang Yong's favorite concubine. It is said that the millions of wealth left by Zhang Yong after his death are under her control."
"Who did you hear this from?" Chen Xiaomu asked with a frown.
"After I was caught by Zhang Yong, Wan Qixiang, the owner of Chun Zai Lou, who I often frequented, came to the rescue. She had negotiated good terms with Zhang Yong and asked me to work as a government informant in the Jianghu before Zhang Yong released me. .”
"I can't figure out how your informant and Zhang Yong's concubine are so unrelated?" Chen Xiaomu asked doubtfully.
Ren Sanguai smiled bitterly and said: "My lord, do you really think that my informant is specifically for informing the government? In fact, I am just a knife in Zhang Yong's hand. As long as he likes the rich families in the city, , he would secretly notify me and ask me to frame him. Most of the time, he would imitate the tone of an official from Zheng and write some letters and notes to the owner of the house, and then give them to me, so that I could enter the house at night. , he hid the things he wrote in flower pots in the yard, or in the master's bedroom. After doing all this, he brought people over to search the house the next day, and they almost copied everything accurately. There have been mistakes.
