When Xiaoqing woke up, he found that he had been tied up by Wuhuada and locked in a room.
Opposite her, the pale-faced Chang Sheng was looking at her quietly. Just as she was about to speak, an old man with a sinister face stood in front of him, with a poisonous snake wrapped around his hand.
Xiaoqing was immediately frightened and squirmed backwards.
Yan Sihai said coldly with a murderous look on his face
"Tell me! Who is Madam Li!"
Xiaoqing kept shaking her head and looking at Chang Sheng pleadingly.
"Lord City Lord, save me?"
Apparently, she still didn't understand what was going on.
But Yan Sihai didn't care about this at this time, he showed a ferocious look and slowly brought the poisonous snake in front of her eyes.
"do not come!"
Xiao Qing screamed in fear and closed her eyes tightly.
"Lao Yan, don't scare her."
Chang Sheng said.
Xiao Qing slowly opened her eyes, only to find that the poisonous snake in front of her disappeared. Chang Sheng held a banknote in his hand, looked at her and said
"This was found on you."
When Xiao Qing saw the banknote, he was a little surprised and said
"This...this is a banknote."
Chang Sheng said calmly
"This is a check from my bank."
Xiaoqingdao
"So what's the matter? My wife, Mrs. Li, collects a lot of banknotes all day long. It's not surprising that there are banknotes from the Chang Family Bank."
Chang Sheng looked at her with a half-smile.
"How come Mrs. Li's banknotes are on your body?"
Xiaoqing said
"Of course Madam Li asked me to pick it up."
Chang Sheng frowned and said
"So, Madam Li, you are responsible for depositing and withdrawing banknotes."
Xiao Qing nodded and said
"Yes, Mrs. Li never shows up in public, so I have always done this kind of thing."
Chang Sheng threw the banknote in front of Xiao Qing
"No, you are here to deliver clothes today. As far as I know, my bank has a bank on Handicraft Street. You should have withdrawn the money and handed it directly to Madam Li. Why are you carrying such a big one? Come and give me clothes with the banknote."
Xiaoqing looked flustered, fearing that Chang Sheng would misunderstand her stealing money, so she hurriedly said
"I was originally sending money, but I saw that I also sent clothes to the Lord of the City along the way..."
After she finished speaking, her expression froze, and she realized that she had let something slip, so she immediately closed her mouth.
Chang Sheng sneered slightly, as expected.
"So, Mrs. Li should also live on Taiyang Road. Let me guess, Mrs. Li's surname is Li. There is only one Li family in the Li Shangshu Mansion on Taiyang Road, but the Li family does not have any female dependents named Li. So, this Madam Li is probably not named Li, but why did she change her name to Madam Li? The painting of Young Master Li in Madam Li’s shop should be the answer, Madam Li, or should she be called Madam Fu, right?"
With a crestfallen look on her face, Xiao Qing told Chang Sheng that she had guessed correctly.
Yan Sihai was confused.
"Then why did Miss Fu change her name to Mrs. Li?"
Chang Sheng tightly grasped the flowerpot in his hand
"That's not a good answer."
She looked at Yan Sihai and said
"By the way, I almost forgot, how did the investigation you asked you to check a few days ago go?"
Yan Sihai coughed twice and took out a stack of papers with the same prescription written on them.
"In this month, I went to the pharmacy so many times to pick up medicine."
Chang Sheng's face darkened
"How long can you live?"
Yan Sihai Road
"He is probably holding on and wants to live until the wedding day. If the belief that keeps him alive is gone, he may die immediately."
Chang Sheng let out a long sigh
"Li Qingchou, the person who gave me this name is the same as my brother who named me Chang Sheng. He hopes that we can have less sorrow in our lives."
Yan Sihai's eyes lit up. He was such a smart man. He finally understood why Chang Sheng asked him to investigate Li Qingchou.
"If that's the case, they're really a pair of fateful couples."
Chang Sheng let out a long breath, with tears in his eyes.
"Old Yan, go and invite Mr. Li here. Tonight, he may have to see some things he doesn't want to see."
Yan Sihai asked
"How did you know it was tonight?"
Chang Sheng looked slightly bitter and took out the piece of skin from his arms.
"Since you have sent this, it naturally means that they have prepared everything. This is the invitation they gave us."
In the evening, the Ministry of War Shangshu Mansion
Fu Pingsheng and Li Qingshu were sitting in the lobby.
The two looked at the servant kneeling in the center of the hall with gloomy expressions.
"Can you say that again?"
Li Qingshu said in a deep voice.
The servant's body trembled slightly and fell to the ground.
"The old man from the City Lord's Mansion just went to the Li Mansion and invited Young Master Li out."
Li Qingshu's face instantly darkened, and he looked at Fu Pingsheng
"They are really difficult to deal with."
Fu Pingsheng's face was even uglier than his.
"It's on the twelfth floor. Didn't you tell us to rest assured? Why are the old man and the girl still alive and kicking?"
When Li Qingshu heard about the Twelfth Floor, a fire of ignorance arose in his heart.
"Snapped!"
A sudden slap on the table made the servant on the floor tremble.
Fu Pingsheng saw this and waved his hand irritably.
"Go down."
The servant wiped the sweat from his forehead and quickly exited the hall as if he had been granted amnesty.
"What should we do now?"
Fu Pingsheng said.
Li Qingshu suddenly showed a hint of ruthlessness on his face
"If the incident really comes to light, don't blame me for being ruthless."
He looked at Fu Pingsheng, his eyes full of determination.
"We two old bones are fine no matter what, nothing can happen to them!"
Fu Pingsheng immediately understood what he meant. He made fists with both hands and clenched them tightly.
"I'll redeploy the manpower."
While talking, the housekeeper ran in in a panic.
"Two gentlemen, it's not good!"
Fu Pingsheng frowned and said
"What's the matter?"
The butler said
"Sir, someone just handed the lady a letter. I don't know what the letter said. The lady went out again!"
Fu Pingsheng and Li Qingshu stood up at the same time
"What!"
Fu Pingsheng said hurriedly
"I'll mobilize troops immediately!"
Li Qingshu nodded heavily
"I'll ask people from the Criminal Department to follow."
With that said, the two hurriedly walked out of the lobby.
On Taiyang Road, money from the dead was flying in the air all over the sky, like a heavy snowfall in spring.
And the phoenix-crowned and rosy bamboos pass through the white sky, like a bloody rose isolated between heaven and earth.
White death money floated into every house on Taiyang Road, alarming everyone.
In a moment, all the doors of the mansions on Taiyang Road opened, and the nursing homes of each house ran out, cursing.
"Who sprinkled this unlucky thing in broad daylight!"
But when they saw Fu Yuzhu walking on Taiyang Road, their expressions froze. In their eyes, this woman dressed so festively exuded a cold air.
Just from her lifeless eyes, you can feel the boundless chill.
Everyone looked at each other, but no one dared to chase her away, but she continued to walk forward.
She walked through the sea of people, but she was still alone.
Chang Sheng walked out and looked at Fu Yuzhu quietly, and Fu Yuzhu also saw her.
When Fu Yuzhu saw Chang Sheng, her lifeless eyes seemed to have a glimmer of life.
Her eyes narrowed and then curved into two crescent moons.
She smiled and smiled at Chang Sheng.
Chang Sheng's eyes met hers, and then he avoided her. She seemed to be a little intolerant. Her mood was very complicated, but she didn't know how to talk about it. Everything was a foregone conclusion. Even if she talked about it now, it would not help.
She couldn't say it in the end, at least she was happy now, wasn't she?
She could only comfort herself in this way.
She walked to Fu Yuzhu and said calmly
"elder sister……"
The two were speechless. Fu Yuzhu looked at Chang Sheng for a while, then continued to walk forward.
Chang Sheng followed her silently without saying a word.
They walked out of Taiyang Road and saw the palace gate, but Fu Yuzhu did not walk towards the palace, but continued forward along the road between the palace wall and Changming Lake.
Today on Changming Lake, the breeze is still caressing the willows, and the orioles are singing and the swallows are dancing, but Chang Sheng feels that the wind blowing from the lake is sour and soothing.
They walked along the lakeside for a long time, and finally, not far ahead, she saw a man in black.
The figure of the man in black was very familiar to Chang Sheng. He was the assassin who attacked them that night.
Chang Sheng looked wary, walked a few steps quickly, caught up with Fu Yuzhu in front, and held her back.
Fu Yuzhu smiled and pushed her hand away and continued to walk forward.
Until he reached the assassin.
The assassin glanced at Chang Sheng behind Fu Yuzhu.
"Don't worry, I'm not in the mood to do anything to you today."
The assassin looked at the sky filled with money from the dead, chuckled, and said
"In the past year, every time you kill a child, you have to scatter paper money. Has it offset the guilt in your heart?"
Fu Yuzhu looked haggard
"What's the use of feeling guilty?"
The assassin laughed out loud
"Hahahaha, yes, if I ask you to choose again, you will still do it without hesitation."
Fu Yuzhu's expression changed and he said coldly
"Without further ado."
The assassin smiled slightly and suddenly fired a loud arrow into the sky.
The sounding arrow shot up into the sky, making a whistle-like sound that spread throughout Taiyang City, almost alarming everyone.
At the same time, as if in response to this sounding arrow, clouds suddenly rolled in the sky, and twelve sounding arrows rose simultaneously on the twelve streets in Taiyang City, echoing the sounding arrows on Changming Lake!
At the same time, a strange wind blew on Changming Lake, and a strange smell was blown to the lakeside by the wind.
"What is the taste?"
Chang Sheng frowned and covered her nose.
Fu Yuzhu on the side was smiling, indicating that she didn't need to cover her nose.
"It's okay, this is the wind beside the Milky Way."
Chang Sheng's face was complicated, how could the wind in the Milky Way be so cold.
On the other side, countless magpies suddenly appeared and flew into the sky from the direction of Twelve Streets.
Fu Yuzhu looked at the magpies, and the smile on his face could no longer be concealed.
"Here it comes! Magpie Bridge is here!"
According to legend, the boy under the Yuelao Seat used his great supernatural powers to attract all the magpies in the world, built a magpie bridge, and attracted the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl to meet each other.
Chang Sheng looked at the magpies in the sky and naturally thought of the legend told by the storyteller that day.
At this time, the strange smell on Changming Lake became stronger and stronger. From nowhere, a thick blood mist filled Changming Lake.
Only then did Chang Sheng realize that the reason why this strange smell was so unpleasant was because it contained a very strong smell of blood!
The red mist gradually dispersed, covering the entire Changming Lake, and the men and women who were having fun on the lakeside boats all fled in panic.
At this moment, the magpies in the sky seemed to be attracted by the red mist on the lake. They swooped down together as if possessed by the red mist on the lake, blocking out the sky and the sun. The magpies that originally heralded good omens now looked like magic birds. Evil.
The magpies walked through the red mist, chirping happily.
Gradually, a magpie bridge was actually built on Changming Lake.
Fu Yuzhu's eyes shed tears of excitement. She was truly happy for the first time in a year. Seeing the legendary Magpie Bridge now in front of her eyes, how could she not be excited.
Chang Sheng looked extremely ugly. She looked at the assassin who was staring straight at the magpie bridge and said coldly.
"What kind of magpie bridge is this? I have never heard of it. The magpie bridge that symbolizes the Queen Mother's compassionate heart needs to be filled with the blood of boys in the sky."
The assassin didn't take it seriously and said calmly.
"The Magpie Bridge is right in front of you right now, how can you deny it."
At this time, the situation on Changming Lake suddenly changed again, and huge waves rolled, swallowing up all the red mist on the lake. Instead, another thick smoke billowed in, and Chang Sheng felt that his eyes were filled with fog.
After a while, the thick fog dissipated, but Chang Sheng was horrified to find that the water in Changming Lake turned into a blood-red sea of blood!
The sea of blood keeps churning, rolling up boundless waves, and above the sea of blood, the wailing sound of ignorance can be faintly heard!
At this time, the people on the shore were as silent as chills, as if they were in an endless hell.
Assassin laughs
"When the magpie bridge rises, the Milky Way appears."
Chang Sheng naturally didn't believe the assassin's lies, but Fu Yuzhu on the side was even more excited. She looked like a madman and shouted at the assassin.
"Where is the boy boat? Release the boy boat quickly!"
The sea of blood was turbulent, but there was a small boat sailing smoothly on the sea of blood.
Chang Sheng looked closely and saw what kind of boat it was, it was clearly a piece of skin!
Human skin, child skin!
At this moment, she finally knew what the human skin was used for.
The legendary boy leading the magpie bridge turned out to be like this.
I saw the piece of human skin slowly traveling under the Magpie Bridge, as if it was held by something. No matter how strong the wind and waves on the sea of blood were, it could not move at all.
At this moment, the magpie bridge also changed its appearance. The magpies that were originally gathered together gradually dispersed, and the bridge became three layers, divided into upper, middle and lower levels.
The lowest layer is already close to the sea of blood. It seems that the magpies at the bottom may be swallowed by the waves from the sea of blood at any time.
Chang Sheng's face turned pale when he saw the bridge. Then he looked at the boy's skin floating on the sea of blood, and remembered those words again.
"Everyone in the world knows about the Magpie Bridge Club, but they don't hear the sigh of Wangchuan River."
She looked at the rolling sea of blood, and the wailing sounds from the sea continued to reach her ears, and she murmured
"Is this the sigh above the River of Forgetfulness?"
"Yes."
Yan Sihai suddenly came to her side, patted her shoulder, narrowed his eyes, and looked at the bridge solemnly.
Behind him, Li Qingchou came slowly. He looked worriedly at Fu Yuzhu, who was already looking crazy not far away, and sighed.
"There is only one bridge above the River of Forgetfulness. It is not the Magpie Bridge, but the Bridge of Sighs."
