Bamboo horse, bamboo horse, cheating and fraud

Chapter 59 Undercurrent

I grabbed a small peddler next to me and asked viciously, "Where was that foreigner just now?"

Seeing my aggressive appearance, he was so frightened that he couldn't even speak coherently: "Respond...to my lord's words, he just closed his stall and left..."

"You bastard!" I yelled angrily, and punched him on the cart selling jelly, and he immediately hugged his head in fright.

It was only then that I realized my gaffe, and forced the corners of my mouth to show him a blunt smile before leading him away.

After going back, I drank a cup of herbal tea, and I slowly calmed down.I don't know why I was so furious just now, I've never been a quick-tempered person, but the moment I heard that he had left, I suddenly had an ominous premonition in my heart.

Suppressing the anger that was about to move in my heart, I immediately ordered the blockade of the whole city—even if Qingshui City is turned upside down, I will definitely catch that foreign devil who killed a thousand swords.

Xiao Luo didn't agree with my behavior very much. When he heard that I was going to go all out to find an unimportant person, his brows that had been inseparable for thousands of years frowned even tighter.

I was having dinner in the house at that time, and when I saw him rushing in, I immediately knew that he was here to inquire about the crime.

In fact, I can't say why I did this. According to common sense, it is really not worth doing it for an irrelevant profiteer who just extorted some money from me, but I have always been a person who believes in my intuition very much. I always feel that There is an invisible thread in the dark, pulling me in the right direction.

I poured Xiao Luo a cup of tea and sat upright, ready for his rainstorm of questions.

Sure enough, he got to the point as soon as he opened his mouth: "Xu Zifang, it's not like there were no foreigners in the Great Wei before, so you can be so serious?" Tell me, what do you think?

I decided to adopt the three no's policy: "I don't know, I don't know, I don't understand!"

He sighed: "Xu Zifang, let me make it clear to you today, do you know why I have been like an old woman every day for the past two years, taking care of everything and daring not to entrust you with it? No I don't dare to delegate power to you, I'm just afraid that you will act out of your will like today."

I also realized that I had gone too far in this matter, so I didn't even talk back and listened to him with my head down.

He took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and his tone softened a little: "Xu Zifang, in the years since Ji Tan's rebellion and Yun Rong's accident, I have already treated you as my own brother, and the things you have experienced since childhood are not as good as mine. It's complicated, I'm in charge of you now, I don't allow you to make up your own mind, it's not that I don't trust you, but I'm worried that you will suffer..."

I buried my head in my arms and sighed: "I always feel that Yun Rong's death may have something to do with these foreigners... Or," I raised my head and looked into his eyes intently, "Xiao Luo, will Yun Rong be Didn't die at all?"

He was stunned by my question, and he sighed for a long time: "Xu Zifang, what nonsense are you talking about in broad daylight? I know you can't let go of Yun Rong's death for a long time, but people can't come back to life after death, so what should I say?" I still have to say, Yun Rong is already dead, he died in Yan Yin's hands three years ago, don't lie to yourself anymore!"

I shook my head in disbelief, and yelled at him loudly: "No, it's impossible, don't lie to me, I can feel that Yunxuan hasn't..."

Before I finished speaking, I choked on my own saliva, covered my mouth with my hand and coughed violently.

Xiao Luo sighed, stroked my back, and finally compromised: "Well, since you won't cry when you see the coffin, then I promise you this time. I will send people to track down the whereabouts of those foreigners immediately. It’s better to let you die as soon as possible.”

After all, he took the door and went out.

He was fine, so he just walked away, but I was coughing like a demon, and I couldn't stop.

You Maobing happened to pass by my room, opened the door and came in. Seeing that I looked like a tuberculosis ghost, his face turned pale with fright, and he quickly poured me a glass of water obsequiously.

However, before the "big brother" full of flattery could be uttered, he was scared back by the word "roll" squeezed out of my throat. He rolled his eyes, thought for a while, and "rolled" wisely up.

I coughed for a long time before it finally stopped, and sat down weakly leaning on the edge of the table. I clenched my fists and beat my head.When the violently heaving chest gradually calmed down, I raised my hand tremblingly.

I was the only one who knew what was wrong with my body. I slowly stretched out my palms and saw that shocking pool of red, and my blood cooled down.

At night, I had another dream.

I dreamed that a group of foreigners with yellow hair and blue eyes locked Yunzheng in a small dark room and tortured him in various ways, but I could only hide behind a pile of dry firewood in the corner and cover my mouth from the beginning to the end. The atmosphere did not dare to make a sound.But no matter how cruel and inhuman those punishments were, Yun Rong remained steadfast.

I told myself over and over again, Xu Zifang, you must save him, even if you die, you must die with him.But the body seemed to be imprisoned and unable to move.The bright red blood gradually oozes out and dyes Yunxuan's white clothes red, and the gaze from those clear and smiling eyes is like a ray of soft moonlight lightly shining on me...

I woke up suddenly, and found that a tear had already dripped from the corner of my eye before I knew it.

I sighed, and thought with some self-mockery: Xu Zifang, Yun Rong is gone, what reason do you have to live on in this world?

Standing up to take a sip of the cold tea on the table, the cold and bitter tea poured into the jaws, and the premolars suddenly felt a sharp pain.I gasped, put my hands on my cheeks, and went to the kitchen to boil some warm water and put it in my mouth.

But the warm water didn't help much, and the premolars still hurt intermittently, and even pulled the other teeth, making me feel more and more painful.

The pain couldn't be relieved, I grinned, stomped my feet anxiously, and bumped into a mountain of meat when I turned around.

I suppressed the toothache and cursed: "You Maobing, you are tired of work, right? Who told you to barge in at midnight... Sigh..." Before I finished speaking, I took another breath of pain.

He blinked his big watery eyes, and looked at me with grievances on his face: "Brother, today they heard that I became your little brother, so they took me a room in this Yang family compound... At night, I thought it was a thief!"

I thought to myself which thief is so short-sighted, is Xiao Luo not cruel enough that day, or does he think his life is too long?

In the dark, You Maobing suddenly came over: "Hey brother, why are you covering your face, you are disfigured?"
