It is said that it is a night of murder when the moon is dark and the wind is high, but today's moon is very big and bright, but it is also a good time to kill people.
The autumn wind blows.
Sima Chunlei, dressed in groom's clothes, stood at the door. He put his hand on the green sheath sword at his waist and tapped it gently with his fingers.
Today is his wedding day.
As a groom, he should be very busy, toasting and socializing frequently, and dealing with people from all over the world who come to Jiangcheng to congratulate him.
But he found an opportunity, sneaked out, and stood at the door of his house.
The autumn wind is colder at night, but there are also many people on the street watching the lanterns and having fun.
Sima Chunlei was a cautious person, and he was still recalling the murderous aura he felt when he went to welcome his bride at dusk.
A murderous aura that suddenly appears and disappears like a gust of wind.
Someone who can possess such murderous intent and can control it freely is definitely not an ordinary person. It is very likely that he came to seek revenge from the Sima family.
Enemies, the Sima family has too many enemies, but most of them are dead and there is no chance of revenge.
"Oh, sir, why are you here? The banquet in the hall has not ended yet, why did you come out on your own?"
The housekeeper walked out quickly. He almost broke out in sweat. The banquet was going well, but suddenly the groom disappeared.
"I'm a little drunk. Come out and sober up."
Sima Chunlei walked in, and he could only go back toward the hall. On the way, he lowered his voice and asked:
"Butler, something is wrong today. Please pay more attention to your subordinates. Also..."
Sima Chunlei whispered a few words in the butler's ear, and then entered the hall.
The housekeeper lowered his head and thought for a while, then walked quickly to the backyard. Passing by the door of the east courtyard, he suddenly tripped over something.
He looked down and saw it was a large bone.
Then he turned around and cursed several times at a wooden kennel at the entrance of the courtyard:
"You're not even as good as a dog. Dogs even know how to hide their own bones. I think you're not as smart as a dog..."
He cursed several times in succession, but only two low barks came from the kennel.
The butler could only secretly cry out that he was unlucky. He had important things to do, so he could only dust himself off and leave quickly.
This kennel has existed in the east courtyard where Sima Chunlei lived for more than ten years. Many servants who entered Sima Mansion later were frightened when they first saw the things in this kennel.
There is no dog in the kennel, only one person.
A person whose elbows and knees were cut off, with only half of his limbs left; a person who was tortured for a year and finally drugged to drive him crazy; a person who was kept as a watchdog by the Sima family for more than ten years people.
The simple kennel shook for a while. The so-called kennel made of a few pieces of wood and cloth could not even withstand the autumn wind at night.
A man crawled out with only half of his limbs left. He was disheveled and unshaven, and his body was even more sloppy. Weeds and mud were mixed with the feces of unknown animals, exuding an unpleasant stench.
Before he went crazy, he had a name called...
Nangong is first.
…
In a quiet courtyard of the Sima family, two maids stood at the door and dozed off.
There were only a few red candles lit in the room, and the orange flames kept flickering. The red wax oil gradually melted, falling like a drop of red tears, and finally solidified on the corner of the table.
The food on the table has already gone cold.
A woman in plain clothes was sitting at the table, facing a table full of delicious food and wine, but she was not even in the mood to hold chopsticks.
One day many years ago, it was also such a night.
She met her unmarried young husband, and then...
And he died.
Not only did he die, but his entire family died.
He died under his father's plan.
The name of the woman in plain clothes is Chu Xiaoxiao, and she is the eldest daughter of Chu Tianba, the head of the Chu family.
She has been a lively and lovely person since she was a child. She loves to wear all kinds of colorful dresses. She dances among the flowers in spring, hides under the green lotus and pink flowers in summer to escape the heat, climbs high in autumn to see the twilight of thousands of mountains, and picks plum blossoms with snowballs in winter.
But since that day, she was like a painting that had lost its color.
Only a pale white remains.
From that day on, she only wore plain clothes, stayed in her room every day, chanted Buddhist scriptures, and never stepped out of her room again.
Today is my sister's happy day.
After more than ten years, she once again came to this familiar yet unfamiliar place, a place that could only be regarded as a nightmare for her.
well.
Chu Xiaoxiao sighed softly. She was about to call someone to remove all the cold food in front of her, but suddenly she heard the sound of the door being opened.
She raised her head and saw a thin man walking in with an evil smile on his face.
He closed the door with his backhand, and then looked up and down at the woman in front of him.
Although Chu Xiaoxiao is dressed in plain clothes and does not wear makeup, she is naturally beautiful and has a lonely and elegant temperament just sitting there.
It's like the Emei Moon in the sky. Although there are many stars, you can only see her when you look up. There is no one else but her.
"Who are you?"
"Hey, hello, Miss Xiaoxiao. I'm Sima Xiayu..."
Sima Xia Yu, the second son of the Sima family, and the younger brother of Sima Chunlei. This man is completely different from Sima Chunlei. He is a complete pervert. His favorite thing is to go to the streets and rob women. Otherwise, he hangs out in the fireworks alley. There are already a group of wives and concubines in his courtyard, but he is still not satisfied.
However, he has been quite honest in the past few months, just because he accidentally snatched back the maid from Prince Le's Mansion and humiliated her by force.
Although the Sima family is very powerful in the world, other sect families also have respect for them.
But Prince Le was different. He was in charge of Jiangzhou's taxes, and he also had a well-equipped guard of 3,000 people.
Anyone with a sound mind will know that Prince Le is the absolute earth emperor in Jiangzhou and a being who must not be messed with.
But this Sima Xia Yu was very brainless and let the maid go back, and even said what could a maid do to her?
But don’t forget, as the saying goes, the prime minister’s concierge is a seventh-grade official.
The people around these powerful people are often not to be messed with.
So, on the second day after the palace maid left.
Prince Le's three thousand guards entered the city.
It is said that the maid went back and tried her best to complain to Prince Le, and then she was killed in the hall in front of Prince Le.
Prince Le, the younger brother of the current emperor, is rumored to be the emperor's illegitimate son.
What is it like for such a heavyweight to take matters into his own hands?
Before the hooves of the three thousand guardsmen reached the door of Sima's house, Sima Qingfeng led the whole family, men, women, old and young, to kneel at the door to greet them.
Nonsense, no matter how powerful your martial arts power is, can you still defeat the imperial army?
In order to show that he was impartial, Sima Qingfeng personally broke both of his son's legs in front of the commander of the Guards, and executed all the servants who so-called "bewitched" his son into making big mistakes.
Can you really kill Sima Qingfeng's son for a maid?
He believed that Prince Le didn't care. He didn't care about the life of a maid, and naturally he didn't care about the life of the son of a powerful family leader.
Sima Qingfeng stuffed a lot of money into the commander of the Guards. When he begged the other party for a reply, he said that Sima Xiayu's legs were broken and he died of serious injuries. He was not far from death. In this way, Prince Le can deal with it, wait until the limelight of this matter has passed, wait until Prince Le has forgotten about this matter, and then let his son go out.
So Sima Xiayu has been holding back at home for several months, and the injury on his leg is not serious. After all, he was his biological son, so Sima Qingfeng was very measured in his actions.
"I wonder what's going on with Second Young Master Sima coming here?"
Although Chu Xiaoxiao was disgusted with the other party's eyes, they would be relatives after all, so she could only frown in discomfort and ask.
Her frown was an inexplicable provocation in Sima Xiayu's eyes.
"Hehehe, I came here specially to get close to Miss Chu..."
Sima Xia Yu's mouth was drooling. The woman in front of him seemed like a white swan with her neck raised high in the mountains, forests and streams. People couldn't help but pluck out her noble white feathers one by one.
See if she can still maintain this aloofness when she's under him.
Although Chu Xiaoxiao rarely gets close to others, he is not an innocent person who does not understand the world.
She raised her eyebrows and shouted softly:
"Get out of here!"
Her anger seemed to add a touch of beauty to an ink painting.
"Hey, hey, Miss Chu, what can you do to me if I don't go out?"
Sima Xia Yu smiled evilly. He had made arrangements a long time ago. The maids on duty outside the door were all his. As long as the door of this small courtyard was closed, no one might be able to hear Chu Xiaoxiao even if his throat was broken. .
He couldn't wait to take off his coat. Years of sensuality had made his body very thin, like a dry bamboo pole.
Chu Xiaoxiao called several times, but when no one answered outside, she knew that Sima Xiayu was fully prepared when she came in.
She took a few steps quickly, trying to open the door and escape.
However, Sima Xia Yu grabbed her dress, and with the latter's almost perverted laughter, a large piece of cloth was torn off.
Chu Xiaoxiao covered her skirt. She staggered away from Sima Xiayu's embrace and tried to open the door, but she accidentally slipped and fell down.
"Aren't you afraid of becoming enemies with my Chu family by doing this?"
Chu Xiaoxiao leaned against the door. She felt that her ankle must have sprained, and there were waves of severe pain.
"Chu family? Hahahahaha, let me tell you the truth, after tonight, there will no longer be your Jiangcheng Chu family in this world..."
Sima Xia Yu naturally got some news and came here boldly to do dirty things. As he took off his belt, he smiled evilly at the pitiful Chu Xiaoxiao on the ground:
"So now just be obedient and let me feel better. Maybe I will take you into my room as my concubine as soon as I am in a good mood, and you won't have to die..."
"You Sima family are really a bunch of white-eyed wolves!"
Chu Xiaoxiao pinched the torn corner of her skirt. She struggled a few times but still couldn't stand up. The severe pain in her feet made her eyes well up with tears.
"Hahahaha, it seems that you were scolded by the Nangong family more than ten years ago."
Sima Xiayu laughed and walked over.
"The Nangong family..."
Chu Xiaoxiao thought of the bright-eyed and white-toothed young man she had only met once that night more than ten years ago.
She smiled sadly and murmured:
"Perhaps I should have died a long time ago. I should have died with him more than ten years ago..."
"That's right, now be obedient and let me feel good. Don't die as a young child who has never tasted the love of a man and a woman..."
Chu Xiaoxiao suddenly pulled out her hairpin from her head and pressed the sharp hairpin against her neck. She looked at Sima Xia Yu and scolded her harshly:
"I would rather die than let you succeed!"
Snapped!
Although Sima Xia Yu is a loser who only loves women, he is a member of the Sima family after all, and he still has martial arts. Otherwise, he would not be able to stand being obsessed with women for so many years, even if he has two strong men.
He threw a four-cornered dart, spinning it just in time to knock the hairpin out of Chu Xiaoxiao's hand.
The broken hairpin left a bloody mark on her neck.
"Oh my, it's such a pity that such a pink and delicious skin is scratched... Hahahaha."
Sima Xiayu stood in front of Chu Xiaoxiao. He was not in a hurry to eat the woman in front of him. He had seen all kinds of women over the years, so he felt that all women looked the same in bed.
There is nothing new, but he enjoys the way a woman resists and struggles in front of him, just like the delicate body of the dancer under the tulle in the boat. When the layers of coat are taken off, the delicate body is revealed. It's the most tempting one.
He smiled ferociously, watching the woman in front of him struggle.
Then he felt that it was almost done, so he reached out and pulled Chu Xiaoxiao's plain coat, intending to do something more shameless.
Buzz!
A long knife stretched out from the crack in the door and pierced Sima Xiayu's chest.
"this……"
He didn't have time to struggle, but he felt that the knife in his chest sucked away all the strength from his body like some kind of magic.
Sima Xia Yu's face began to dry up little by little. If he was just like a bamboo pole before, now he is like a dry bamboo pole that has been exposed to the sun for who knows how long. It has dried up enough to break with just a slight twist. degree.
He hung on that knife as weightless as a piece of paper.
Chu Xiaoxiao looked at the horrifying scene in front of her. She was so frightened that she couldn't even speak.
Bang!
The dead body fell to the ground, and the door was easily cut open by the knife.
Chu Xiaoxiao saw a figure in black holding a long knife among the falling wood chips.
He looked down at her and she looked up at him.
It’s been a dream for ten years, it’s like seeing it for the first time yesterday.
The man in black slowly turned into a young man wearing an exquisite wedding robe and looking aggrieved.
The woman in plain clothes gradually turned into a smiling girl wearing a floral embroidered skirt.
Chu Xiaoxiao's body was trembling, she pursed her lips tightly, and it took her a long time to say:
"is it you?"
