Seeing that the situation was not good this summer, Lu Yi, who was upstairs, hurriedly dragged Xie Xiao out of the theater.

"I said brother, can you calm down, okay? The two of them are just watching a show together, not elopement. What are you doing with such a fuss?" This summer raised his eyebrows, and suddenly looked at him with a smile, "I see, although you did I broke off the marriage, but I've been thinking about Sister Shangguan all the time, right?"

"Bullshit!" Xie Xiao said angrily, "I just don't understand how she is with the officials, or Jin Yiwei, who is not in the class. How could she like him?... It must be Lu who took the case. The incident threatened her and forced her to socialize."

"Well, it's also possible." This summer continued to eat biscuits. "But to be honest, it wouldn't be surprising if Sister Shangguan liked Lord Lu. In terms of family background, papers and martial arts, Lord Lu can be regarded as remarkable."

Xie Xiao looked at her: "Who are you?"

"Just tell the truth, why should my brother be angry?"

This summer, he shrugged, and there was a slight surprise in his heart. When did he change his mind about Lu Yi, was it because he treated the boss's leg and seemed to have saved him twice

After carefully recalling the situation of the theater, I saw two short glimpses: the first time, Lu Yi held the tea bowl to his lips, and looked at the stage with both eyes, but there was no expression on his face; Shangguan Xi also held the tea bowl and looked down. With tea, his face was a little dignified. The second time, Lu Yi had put down the tea bowl, and he seemed to be holding a hazelnut in his hand. He was still looking at the stage with a clear smile on his face; while Shangguanxi held the tea bowl, neither drinking nor putting it down, with a faint smile on his lips. .

Unconsciously nibbling on his fingernails, this summer, he frowned and thought, Shangguanxi's submissive appearance did not look like she was being coerced. Lu Yiruo took the air of the official family to coerce her, and it was unreasonable to only go to such a lively theater to watch the show. Could it be that he really fell in love with Shangguan Xi

"What do you think?"

Xie Xiao called her back to God.

"Does Sister Shangguan usually like to watch dramas?" asked him this summer.

"I don't know, but I used to love watching dramas, and I often dragged her along to watch it." Xie Xiao pouted towards the theater: "We used to come to this theater five or six times a month."

"Oh… "

This summer, my mind was spinning: Could it be that Shangguan Xi asked Lu Yi to watch a play? Or is Lu Yi doing what he likes

Xie Xiaoyuan is a person who can't keep things in his heart. Standing on the street, the more he thinks about it, the more he feels that something is wrong. He put all the biscuits into this summer's arms, raised his feet and walked back inside: "No, I have to ask clearly, My senior sister can't let the surnamed Lu bully you!"

"Brother, brother, brother... No rush, no rush, I still have something to tell you... "

This summer, he hurriedly grabbed him, pulling and pulling, and finally dragged Xie Xiao away. She was not familiar with Yangzhou City, so she just walked around and dragged Xie Xiaoxian to a secluded place by the river.

She was dragging her arm all the time, Xie Xiao unconsciously turned red at the base of his ears, at this moment Fang unnaturally let go of his hand and asked, "You... what else is there, say!"

Seeing his red ears this summer, he wondered, "Your senior sister and Lord Lu are watching a scene, you don't have to be so angry, right? Your ears are all red."

"Who, who, who..." Xie Xiao hurriedly retorted, but instead stuttered more and more, and rubbed his ears vigorously angrily before saying, "Who said I was angry, I was just worried that she would suffer."

"I think you have to trust Sister Shangguan in this matter." He hesitated for a moment this summer, but still didn't tell him about the meeting between Shangguan Xi and Lu Yi on the boat, "Sister Shangguan is the hall owner and helps your old man to manage the affairs in an orderly manner. , she must be the one who knows. If you rush in at this time, it will ruin her affairs. Why don't you ask her later, and let her be careful about Mr. Lu. "

Xie Xiao raised his eyebrows dissatisfiedly and said, "I did something wrong with her?!"

"That's not certain. Your senior sister is not an ordinary person. She is a hero in the women's middle school. She must have some concerns in her heart. Maybe she is the one who invites Lord Lu to watch a play." This summer solemnly told him, "By the way, when you ask her, you can Don't say that you saw it, just say that you heard people talk about it, don't give me too!"

Xie Xiao was helpless and could only nod his head, casually wanting to ridicule her a few words, but in the blink of an eye he found that she was gone.

"uncle!"

"nephew!"

"uncle… "

"nephew..."

Just hearing this warm and affectionate cry, Xie Xiao had goosebumps all over his body, and when he turned his head again, he saw that this summer was enthusiastically delivering biscuits to a middle-aged beggar.

"Just bought it, crispy and crispy, you can try it."

Uncle Beggar unceremoniously took the biscuits, took a bite, and tasted it carefully.

Xie Xiao came over and asked Jin Xia inexplicably, "What's your ability? Did you find yourself an uncle here?"

"My uncle is not an ordinary person." This summer raised his head and said proudly to him.

Uncle Beg still squinted, looked Xie Xiao up and down, and then turned to ask Jin Xia, "Your man?"

Jin Xia laughed loudly, waved his hands and said, "No, of course not, I am not so lucky, he is the young leader of the Wu'an Gang... By the way, if you are busy in advance, I have something to do with my uncle." She turned to Xie Xiao.

This girl actually turned her head and started to push herself, Xie Xiao was a little bit resentful, stubbornly said: "But I'm fine."

"Then wait here... Uncle, come here, I have something to ask you."

This summer, he pulled Uncle Beggar directly under the big willow tree a little further away, and even his voice was deliberately lowered. Xie Xiao couldn't help but sighed, folded his arms and snorted, turning his head away from them. On weekdays, according to his temperament, he would have left long ago, but now he told himself that he did not need to have the same knowledge as the little girl, and it was not bad for her to wait a little.

"Uncle, have you found any abandoned female corpses in or outside Yangzhou recently?"

asked this summer in a low voice.

Uncle Beg was stunned and lowered his voice: "Recently, there are oriental people coming and going, this place is not very peaceful, there are several in the river alone, how do I know what you are looking for?"

"It's... going to be barefoot..."

This summer, he pushed his forehead angrily. The memory of the woman he saw in a trance state was very chaotic, even her appearance was blurred, and it was not clear where her fatal injury was.

"Then, have you ever seen a very strange torture device, a doll, with its arms shrunk, trapping a person in it, and the spikes popping out of the body, causing the person to die." She then asked.

Uncle Beg opened his mouth in surprise and sighed: "Love farewell."

"You know this torture tool too?"

"I've heard of it, but it hasn't been used for a long time. How come you've seen it?"

This summer nodded annoyed: "And I saw it twice, I don't know who is behind the scenes."

"For the sake of the biscuits, I can help you pay attention," Uncle Beg took another bite of the biscuits, "but if there are clues, I'm not sure."

"It would be great if you are willing to help." Jin Xia was happy, and then asked, "Have you ever met an Oriental man?"

"Your uncle, I'm lucky, I haven't bumped into it yet, but I heard that their whereabouts are uncertain, ghosts and ghosts, a monk temple and a village were slaughtered a while ago."

Jin Xia sighed and said, "Because they are leading the way... You'd better not run into it. These oriental people are good at using hidden weapons, and some poison is smeared in the hidden weapons... "

She turned towards Xie Xiao, who was not far away.

"Several brothers in their help were hit with hidden weapons, and the wounds kept festering. They were helpless even after looking for a lot of doctors, and now they're still half-dead in bed."

"What poison?" Uncle Beg asked curiously.

"I don't know, the doctor said that I haven't seen it before." Thinking that he was well-informed this summer, he took out the wrapped sleeve sword from his arms and showed him, "This is it, be careful not to touch the edge."

Uncle Beggar took it over and looked at it carefully in the sun, the edge of the blade was glowing with a faint strange green...

He thought about it for a while, and then slowly said: "I said my niece, if you don't use this thing, let me show it to someone, maybe... ah... I can't tell, it depends on her mood. ."

"Who?"

Seeing him hesitating, this summer raised his eyebrows in surprise.

"It's someone I know who is quite experienced in poisons, but she doesn't like dealing with outsiders."

Jin Xia keenly realized something was wrong from his almost soft tone, and asked with a smile, "She? Are you good friends?"

"Go, go, don't talk nonsense!"

Uncle Beg chased her.

"Okay, then you can put it away carefully, and don't scratch yourself." This Xia grinned and wrapped the sleeve sword for him, "By the way, you've been seeing the dragon all day long, where can I go? Looking for you?"

"I'm here to find you."

Uncle Beg put the sword in his sleeve and was ready to leave.

Thinking of something this summer, he stopped him with a smile and said, "Uncle, your grandson is watching a play in the theater over there, won't you go take a look?"

"There's no reason to be a grandfather looking for a grandson!"

Uncle Beg swayed, and Shi Shiran walked away.

It wasn't until he was far away that Xie Xiao walked slowly and squinted at her: "I can't see it, you have only been in Yangzhou for a few days, and you actually found an uncle for yourself, who is still a beggar."

"Young gang master, you underestimate people." Nunuzui, the place where Uncle Beggar disappeared this summer, "he is not an ordinary beggar, his master was originally an eunuch in the palace. In the fire of the imperial palace in Beijing, Emperor Jianwen disappeared. The whereabouts are unknown, do you know?"

"Who doesn't know about this."

"There are a group of eunuchs in the palace, who were originally practicing martial arts to protect the emperor. The whereabouts of Emperor Jianwen are unknown, and they also fled outside the palace. The country can't be recovered, but none of them are willing to surrender, they will no longer serve anyone, and they will not be affected by any They are governed by people and do not accept anyone's salary. While they are wandering, they go from house to house to find the young master."

After listening, Xie Xiao was stunned for a long time before exhaling a long breath: "I didn't expect... there are such people... "

"His kung fu is amazing." This summer murmured to himself, "Strange, why is Lu's kung fu so good?"

"Are they all fine?"

Xie Xiao didn't open his face and snorted.

"Brother, I rushed back and ordered a Mao in front of Master Liu, you..." This summer looked at him inquiringly.

"Go, let's go, I've never seen anyone on duty as busy as you."

"By the way, Sister Shangguan... You must go back to Xunkong and ask her again, and remember not to give me anything."

This summer, while walking, I looked back and warned again and again.

Xie Xiao waved his hand impatiently, asking her to go quickly, but he stood there until he could not see her, and after a moment of hesitation, he turned around and left.
