"I see." Lin Shuxuan closed the paper fan, but his eyes were not relieved. He probably didn't believe Tang Doudou's explanation.
"The one named Furong made a lot of contributions to the entire Furong Town. Later she left for unknown reasons. In order to commemorate her, all the beautiful and good-looking girls in Furong Town were named Furong."
"It's quite interesting." Tang Doudou said with a smile, pointing to the tall building opposite with garlands hanging on it, "Brother Lin, you mean, the girl you are marrying today is the most beautiful girl in Furong Town?"
Lin Shuxuan nodded, but then shook his head.
"What? Is there some secret to this?" Tang Doudou was surprised.
"It's not a mystery. Brother Tang is a visitor from afar. I don't know what's normal. In fact, there is more than one girl who is looking for a bride this time. Of course, the most beautiful one is among them."
Tang Doudou nodded, "No wonder it's so lively, it turns out there's more than one girl looking for a bride."
"Yes! In the past two years, many handsome and good-looking men of the right age in the town have been kidnapped. The remaining ugly and old men and girls have been forced to marry. It seems that Only when people are old will they come up with such a method of recruiting relatives." Lin Shuxuan said this while paying attention to Tang Doudou's expression.
Tang Doudou was surprised on the surface, but inside he was stirred up. A delicate and good-looking teenage boy was kidnapped... Why does it feel like it was done by Yunliu Palace
Are all those good-looking young men in Yunliu Palace kidnapped from all over the country
Why does it have to be a teenager
Tang Doudou was very puzzled. Usually, those girls who had not left the palace were kidnapped. Whether it was training or giving away, it seemed to be much easier to control. However, this Yunliu Palace did the opposite. What was its purpose
"This is still new!" Tang Doudou looked at Lin Shuxuan, "I usually only hear that human traffickers like to kidnap young girls. When did this change?"
Lin Shuxuan shook his head, "I don't know, but..."
He raised his eyes and looked around, and whispered: "I heard that the ones who kidnapped those teenagers were not human traffickers."
"oh?"
"Ahem, this is just hearsay. I'm afraid we won't know the details until someone from the imperial court finds out."
Tang Doudou asked suspiciously: "Did the imperial court intervene?"
Lin Shuxuan glanced at her unexpectedly, as if he was a little surprised by her reaction, "This matter has been causing quite a stir recently, not only in the court, but also in the world. Why does Brother Tang seem to be unaware of it at all?"
"Hey, it's my master's fault. He insisted on dragging me to practice in the mountains. I finally came out. I heard from my cousin that there was a lot of excitement here recently, so I thought that nothing would happen, so I came over." Tang Doudou said Lin Shuxuan couldn't find any excuses.
"Look at the old man next to Magistrate Tao, who is the imperial envoy sent by the imperial court. He has been here for almost three months and found nothing." Lin Shuxuan said disdainfully.
Tang Doudou looked over there, and sure enough he saw a majestic old man sitting there, whispering and laughing with Master Tao.
"Does this only happen in Furong Town?"
"There were troubles in several neighboring towns, but Furong Town was more serious. In addition, the imperial envoy here had a nepotistic relationship with Master Tao, so he stayed here." Lin Shuxuan explained.
"Master Lin, let's start!" Just when Tang Doudou was about to make some insinuation and want to know the news about Nangong Yan, the voices of the children of the previous aristocratic families came from behind.
Lin Shuxuan said: "Brother Tang, the first hibiscus is about to come out."
"Haha, let's take a closer look!" Tang Doudou retracted his thoughts and looked at the tall building opposite. The crowd directly below the tall building was excited. They were basically men below, but they did look older and had facial features. Not very good-looking, even people with disabilities.
They all looked excitedly at the tall building where two maids helped a girl with a veil come out. The girl was holding a hydrangea in her hands. When they reached the eaves in front of the building, the people below became even more excited.
"I didn't expect that the first hibiscus was Miss Su." Lin Shuxuan next to him looked at the girl's figure and said her name.
"Brother Lin is an outstanding figure with a unique vision!"
"Brother Tang has misunderstood. This girl named Su is known throughout Furong Town. Her left shoulder is more slumped than her right shoulder. Even though she has a face as beautiful as a flower, she is not favored by the family members because of this. After she passed the marriageable age, her parents had no choice but to sign up for her." At this point, Lin Shuxuan sighed and looked behind him, "Li Ziyu, why don't you go grab the hydrangea and put it away? She can marry her back."
The young master named Li Ziyu also came with him just now, but he was silent and rarely spoke. When he heard Lin Shuxuan's joking words, he smiled bitterly, "Young Master Lin, please don't be sarcastic. It’s not like you don’t know about my tigress, hey…”
Tang Doudou sneered in his heart. He was out enjoying the flowers and grass, and he also called his wife a tigress. It was so shameless.
"Haha, you may never get rid of your henpecked problem in this life!" Lin Shuxuan laughed loudly and looked at Tang Doudou intentionally, "Brother Tang, do you have a sister-in-law at home?"
"I am alone, otherwise how can I be so free? If I get married, I must have a sense of responsibility to take care of my wife and children and fight for the family. I will never be free and easy."
"I didn't expect that Brother Tang may look unruly, but he is actually an infatuated man at heart. I wonder which girl from that family would be lucky enough to marry Brother Tang."
There was a smile on Tang Doudou's lips. This Lin Shuxuan was really a social butterfly. She would pursue whatever she said, regardless of whether he approved it or not.
During the conversation, several newlyweds had already succeeded. Looking at the men holding hydrangeas and giggling, Tang Doudou felt a little irritated for no reason. If this continues, when will he be able to find Bailiyu
"By the way, Brother Tang, talking about the strange things in Furong Town, I remembered another strange thing. I wonder if Brother Tang is interested in hearing it?" Lin Shuxuan's eyes were on the high platform, but he was always paying attention to Tang Doudou's expression from the corner of his eyes. As soon as her face showed irritation, she looked for an opportunity to find a topic.
"Weird things? Could it be that someone has seen a ghost?" Tang Doudou suppressed the irritability in his heart and asked with a smile.
Seeing her interest, Lin Shuxuan also put a smile on his face, "Although I have never seen a ghost, the rumors are similar."
"Oh? Brother Lin might as well elaborate."
"Just over three months ago..."
Hearing this time, Tang Doudou's heart skipped a beat. He picked up the cup nervously, took a sip of water, and asked, "Did it happen more than three months ago?"
"Well, just over three months ago, for some unknown reason, there were always people who had their wrists bled inexplicably in the middle of the night. According to people who had experienced it, they didn't feel anything when they were cut until they woke up in the morning. , only to discover that there was a wound on the wrist, and an excellent wound medicine was used to stop the bleeding."
"Brother Tang, do you think this is weird?"
Tang Doudou said: "It is possible that people cut their wrists. There is nothing weird if it was done by people. There are many people who practice evil arts in the world. The blood that was released was used to practice evil arts. Fortunately, this People still have a conscience, and the bleeding will stop after bleeding. I heard that those who are crazy will suck people dry without leaving any flesh and blood."
"Oh, Brother Tang, but how could I come up with it and say it like this?" Lin Shuxuan patted his fan mysteriously.
"Is there a follow-up?"
"This is natural. After those people woke up, they found that the bleeding of their injuries had been stopped, so they didn't think much about it. As a result, when they woke up the next day, there was another cut next to the knife wound... This was repeated for dozens of days. , that man's body was full of wounds, and all the blood was drained out!" Lin Shuxuan chuckled, "What, isn't it weird enough?"
It was indeed strange. Tang Doudou asked in surprise: "Could it be that that person didn't have any good intentions at all, but had already made up his mind and was ready to take blood at any time?"
"It's very possible. I heard from the clerk in the yamen that those knife cuts were made very accurately, as if they were made by experienced hands." Lin Shuxuan shrank his neck, "What's more important is that after the first case occurred, Magistrate Tao sent The person went to protect the next person who might be harmed, but the result was the same, even though there were many police officers guarding him, the person was drained of blood and died."
"The person who did this must be a master." Tang Doudou affirmed, "Did it happen again recently?"
"It's strange to say. It was very frequent at the beginning, but recently it has become less and less. I must be practicing evil magic!"
The two of them just talked about it for a long time. Tang Doudou also made some vague guesses. She didn't dare to ask too obviously. Every time she mentioned that, she changed the topic herself. It failed to arouse Lin Shuxuan's doubts.
As time passed, it seemed that none of them had any intention of grabbing the hydrangeas, but just wanted to watch the show. Tang Doudou began to doze off. Just when she lowered her eyes slightly, she saw the shadow of a person in the blur.
Although it was not real, she recognized the figure almost instantly, stood up suddenly and ran under the high platform.
"Tang, Tang... Brother..." Lin Shuxuan, who was talking incessantly, felt his eyes blurred. Then he saw that Tang Doudou's shadow had disappeared next to him, and his mouth opened wide. This Tang Longbiao's martial arts was more than what he said he had learned. This qinggong is so amazing!
"Young Master Lin, I'm afraid this Tang Longbiao is not simple!" The young masters behind him realized what he was doing and spoke one after another.
"Humph, of course I know she is not simple. Since she is also testing, let's see who shows off first! You all, be careful! Don't let her see anything, especially you, Li Ziyu!"
"I know, Mr. Lin."
"What on earth did she see? She didn't even say hello..." Lin Shuxuan pondered for a moment, then stood up, "You guys watch carefully here, I'll follow you and have a look."
"this… "
Lin Shuxuan glared at them, "Be obedient, or I will send you to that place to see if you are honest or not!"
Speaking of that place, the expressions of the disciples of the aristocratic families suddenly changed and they all fell silent.
Lin Shuxuan snorted again, stood up and walked towards the foot of the high platform while waving his paper fan.
Magistrate Tao next to him said to the imperial envoy: "This Young Master Lin is very suspicious!"
