Lu Ying waved his hand, and the soldiers carried a dead body into the hall, Bai Shisan, Bai Ashi and others also entered. Lu Ying said to Bai Ashi: "You guys discovered the man, so it's up to you to tell His Highness the situation at that time."
Bai Ashi stepped forward and bowed and said, "The villain and Bai Shisan went in the direction of the cold arrow. According to the ambush environment and the angle of the arrow, we guessed that the murderer should be on the roof of a two-story building next to the street. , when we rushed over, the murderer had already jumped into the downstairs alley and tried to leave invisibly, we hurried forward to intercept him. He fought with the two of us. This man has ordinary martial arts but great arm strength. He arrived, and seeing that he could be caught, he suddenly laughed loudly, his expression became very excited and weird, his strength suddenly increased by more than three times, we could hardly stop him, but he only made three moves, and he was not overwhelmed The ground, the seven orifices bleed to death."
After hearing the words clearly, Yang Heng winked at a trusted guard beside him, and the guard immediately went to the assassin's body to inspect it in detail.
"He probably hid the poison sac in his mouth in advance, and when he saw that the situation was not right, he took the poison and killed himself..." The guard looked very carefully, and even pinched the dead man's mouth to observe the light, and then took off the dead man's clothes Clean up, check his body for signs, and search all the objects brought by the deceased, even loosen his hair and check to see if he can find any clues.
Lu Ying had asked Bai Fuling to avoid going to the flower hall before the corpse was first carried to the hall, so she didn't care about the various indecent behaviors of Yang Heng's guards during the autopsy.
The guards sent by Yang Heng were obviously experts, and they finished all the autopsy procedures neatly, got up and reported in an orderly manner: "This person is about thirty years old, and he didn't carry any miscellaneous items on his body except bows and arrows and quiver. Clothes, including broken silver and copper coins. The clothes they wear are ordinary farmhouse cloth, 70% new. There are only eleven small scars all over the body, none of them are obvious, and there are no other special features. There are calluses left by long-term arrow practice on the hands. The arm joints are thick. The iron tire bow and long arrows on his body are all specially made. The bow has been used for at least five years, and the arrows are coated with the poison of "Three-step Chasing Soul". The poison in the mouth should be the same in terms of symptoms. A kind of poison. The shapes and materials of the front and rear arrows are all made from the same batch of materials.”
After hearing this, Yang Heng asked Lu Ying, "What do you think, the general?"
"It sounds like they are probably sent by the assassin organization in Jianghu. Although the poison 'Three Steps of Chasing Soul' is powerful, it is not a unique poison. It is very difficult to find out the source. This assassin basically has no clues except bows and arrows. , even bows and arrows are old things, and it is quite difficult to trace the origin. Such a rigorous preparation is not something ordinary killers can do. Depending on the situation, there should be some accomplices lurking nearby. Recently, His Royal Highness had better avoid going out easily. The people in the government office The lower officials will sort it out again, and send more people to defend." Lu Ying's face sank like water, and no one would be happy if something like this happened.
Yang Heng nodded: "It's hard work for General Lu."
The hall was quickly cleaned up, Bai Fuling went to the hall to say goodbye, Lu Ying did not avoid Yang Heng, and told her again and again, and sent another escort before letting her go. From the beginning to the end, Yang Heng just smiled Watch their siblings interact.
Bai Fuling returned to the mountain, and as usual first reported to her parents that she was safe. The Bai Chou couple and the chief housekeeper, Bai Shen, sat in the hall with dignified expressions.
"What's wrong? Did something important happen?" Bai Fuling ran to his father and asked while holding his arm.
I'm afraid there are not too many things that can make the three adults of my family so heavy.
When Bai Chou and Mu Peilan saw their daughter, they immediately relaxed their brows. Bai Chou patted his daughter on the shoulder and said with a smile, "It's nothing, but talking about the old things with your Uncle San made me feel a little emotional."
"What happened in the past? Before I was born?" Bai Fuling felt something was wrong.
Bai Chou didn't intend to continue talking, but just changed the subject and said: "When the Sixth Highness comes, Beiguan City may not be peaceful. Don't go down the mountain until the assassin is caught."
How can she buy someone if she doesn't go out? Bai Fuling's mouth was about to protest, but Mu Peilan advised, "Ling'er is obedient, don't let your parents worry about you. Just in case... your parents don't know how to live..." As she spoke, she waved Look like you're about to cry.
Here we go again! It's not too exaggerated! Bai Fuling had a headache. Mother's appearance was obviously a way to mourn, but she couldn't really make her cry, so she had no choice but to agree.
Seeing that they reacted so suddenly, there might be other reasons, Bai Fuling secretly took a look at the big butler Bai Shen sitting at the bottom, and decided to go back and trick him.
After seeing off her daughter, Mu Peilan stood by the door and sighed, "I never thought that we would meet those people when we came to such a wild frontier..."
Bai Chou forced a smile and said, "Didn't Ling'er say that where there are people, there are worlds, heh! I really don't know where that girl came up with so many strange words."
When Mu Peilan heard him mentioning her daughter, a smile appeared on Mu Peilan's face: "Forget it, we just need to keep an eye on Ling'er, let them go about the rest."
The two couples looked at each other and smiled, suddenly Mu Peilan remembered something, snorted lightly and said, "That woman from the Cui family dared to talk to Ling'er like that, my daughter is low?! What is she, but a little girl?" Xiaozheng is the daughter of the right servant of the military department of the third rank, and the order of the fourth rank..."
Bai Chou was also angry, but he still comforted him: "Forget it, what does that kind of ignorant woman care about her? The Cui family can only raise such a daughter. How can she be Ling'er's opponent? Beiyuelou has lost such a big face, Lu Ying will not give her a good face when she goes back. If she continues to make trouble like this, she will only suffer."
Mu Peilan thought of what happened in Beiyue Building that the spies came back to report, and she couldn't help being both funny and helpless. Her daughter's mouth is also cruel enough, and Lu Ying is also blindly partial, and it is impossible for them, parents, to replace her. Exhale.
The Bai couple chatted and laughed, but when they turned their heads, they saw Bai Shen staring blankly at the teacup in front of him in a daze, Bai Chou asked strangely, "What's wrong?"
Bai Shen came back to his senses, smiled and said: "I was thinking, if the master, wife and miss insisted that we all retreat into the world and hide our names, maybe I would have been like the assassin I am today..."
Nameless and silent, he committed suicide by taking poison and died on the street. Afterwards, the straw mat was rolled up, and the graves in the wilderness were the final destination. No one cared about it and no one shed tears. It was so easy and completely wiped out...even never I don't know the joys of being a human being. From the beginning to the end of life, there is only blood, killing and loneliness.
Thinking of this, Bai Shen couldn't help feeling very grateful. Bai Chou and Mu Peilan understood what he meant. If their daughter hadn't insisted, they wouldn't have made such a big determination. In the first few years, they were really uncomfortable. What a pleasure, but after retiring, I have to fight with profiteers and small officials all day long, haggle over every detail, keep on doing trivial things every day, refrain from killing and anger, and strive to be an ordinary businessman... at least on the surface, an ordinary businessman.
It was only later that I felt that such days, although tedious, were full of fun, especially after a few years when the business was on the right track, the two of them, together with some old brothers back then, lived a prosperous and comfortable life, many of them got married and had children. , I feel more and more that the original choice is really right.
This night, Bai Fuling hadn't figured out how to avoid her parents' eyes and ears to find the white ginseng, so the white ginseng was automatically delivered to her door.
Seeing that he was so knowledgeable, Bai Fuling was happy in her heart, and took the initiative to stick to him and put on a big hat: "Let me just say, the most understanding person in the world is my Uncle San! Uncle San, come in and sit down! Lilac, go to the warehouse Bring a bottle of monkey wine, and make some side dishes to go with the wine!"
As the name suggests, monkey wine is a good wine made by monkeys. It is said that monkeys collect wild fruits in the mountains and pile them in tree holes and stone pits. It's a fruit wine. The monkey wine here in Bai Fu Ling is not brewed by monkeys.
Ten years ago, when the Bai family first arrived in Baili Mountain, Bai Fuling saw that the back mountain was full of wild fruits, so he ordered people to collect them, cut them, seal them in jars and bury them deep in the ground. They have been dug out in the past few years. Although many brewing failures, there are some Some made fine wine. Because the quantity is limited and it is quite commemorative, even the three members of the Bai family are reluctant to drink it lightly.
Naturally, white ginseng is also good for wine. After hearing Bai Fuling's words, he rubbed her heart with both heartbeat and helplessness, and sighed: "Okay, ghost spirit, don't be afraid of flattery! Uncle Shen, I You have thrown yourself into a trap, I will answer whatever you want to ask."
Bai Fuling took him to the platform of the Lengquan Bamboo Building and sat down. She was not in a hurry to ask questions. After Lilac brought the food and wine, she dismissed the others and poured a glass of wine for Baishen herself. Uncle drink!"
The white ginseng smelled the unique aroma of the monkey wine, and was a little drunk before drinking it. He took a sip from the wine glass and couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief: "It really is a rare wine! Miss, let me tell you the truth. You said, when Uncle Shen came to Baili Mountain, he realized that the previous few decades were simply not human life..."
These words were clearly intended to hurt the history of the revolutionary family, and Bai Fuling quickly followed his tone and asked tentatively: "Did life in the past be bad? You and my parents and uncles should all be in the world back then." Big man, if it wasn't for me, you wouldn't have to be trapped in this small border town, I'm worried that you'd feel bored!"
Bai Shen smiled wryly and said, "What do you mean? What kind of big man? Now that I think about it, it's just a group of rats in the gutter, a shameful poisonous snake...Miss, do you know what kind of business we were doing back then?"
"Mother is mostly doing inquiries, father and a few uncles... probably work as assassins." Bai Fuling guessed.
