Chapter 674 Wu Sheng
Yunlai Inn, the assassin chased by Bai He and others.
The person who hid under her bed and made her sleepless at night!
At that time, she didn't want to cause more trouble, so she didn't pull the man out from under the bed, but opened the door and window and let him go.
She saw his back when he was leaving.
No wonder the figure of the man lying on the ground looks familiar.
But didn't Bai He say in front of the eldest princess that he had caught the assassin?
"interesting."
Qin Yao returned to the chair and sat down. She looked up at the curious Dalang brothers and sisters and waved:
"It's getting late, go back to your room and rest. Tomorrow morning Dalang, Erlang and Sanlang will go to see Mr. Fan at the private school."
The four brothers and sister responded very sensibly. Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, and don't read what you shouldn't see. They are all good and sensible children.
After the child was driven away, Qin Yao's expression immediately darkened, she looked at Awang and raised her chin towards the unconscious man on the ground.
Awang understood, picked up the bucket that was originally used to wash the floor in the courtyard, walked into the flower hall with a few strides, and poured a bucket of cold water on the man's head.
“Crash!” A bucket of water washed away the dirt on the man's body, and there were still a few wisps of washed blood mixed in. The scene couldn't be said to be unsightly, it could only be said to be horrific.
Liu Ji hissed and silently retreated behind his wife, looking warily at the man on the ground who was struggling and gradually waking up.
He who can sustain so many injuries and still not die is definitely not an ordinary person. If he provokes a massacre and his wife resists him, he will not be the first to see the King of Hell.
As for Yin Le and Awang, Liu Ji felt that he, an ordinary person, was not qualified to worry about two martial arts practitioners.
As he expected, the man struggled to sit up. After looking around for a week, he probably thought of something and thought that he might have been caught by the enemy. Suddenly he became violent and clawed at Awang who was closest to him.
The beast's counterattack before it died was the most ferocious. The man was so fast that Liu Ji didn't even see him clearly. He had already rushed to a distance of less than half a meter in front of Awang, stretched out his five claws, and clawed hard at his neck.
A disdainful sneer was heard from Awang's mouth. The next second, the situation changed. Awang had already captured the man in his arms, holding the man's hand with one hand and clasping his neck with the other.
“Madam, do you want to kill?” Awang asked impatiently.
Qin Yao shook her head. This was not the countryside. She could only bury the body in her own yard. She didn't want to dirty her new house.
Besides
“First ask him what he has committed, and then send him to Fuyin Yamen tomorrow morning.” Qin Yao motioned to Awang to let him go first.
The man calmed down for a moment, as if he realized that he had made a mistake. After being released by Awang, he did not attack again.
Just retreated to the door alone, put his hand on the hidden weapon on his waist, and watched them warily.
When his eyes fell on Qin Yao, he showed a confused look. He always felt that this person was familiar, his voice was familiar, and his frightening aura was also familiar.
“You, who are you?” he tried to ask.
Qin Yao snorted and said, "I am no one, but you. You don't look like a good person. What do you want to do by breaking into a private house? Why don't you recruit me!"
The man quickly glanced at where several people were standing in the hall.
There were four people in total. The scar-faced woman stood behind him in the backyard, the cold-faced man stood on his left side, and the handsome-faced man was just a weak scholar who posed no threat.
But just one woman sitting directly opposite him could trap him in this courtyard and make him unable to escape.
Not to mention that he is now seriously injured and is already a trapped animal in a cage.
In just a few breaths, he had made up his mind.
Just now, the wife of the family said that she would send him to Jingzhao Prefecture at dawn. If he could really go to the Yamen, he might still have a small chance of survival. He was very tired from standing, so he simply sat cross-legged on the carpet and said:
“I have no name and no surname. I was originally a young martial arts student in the opera troupe of Donggong Mansion. Everyone calls me Wu Sheng.”
Wu Sheng raised a smile at the corner of his mouth, "I had no intention of breaking into the noble house. Because I heard some secrets that I should not listen to, I was wanted by the superiors. I knew that falling into their hands would only lead to death, so I escaped. Tonight was an accident. If you want to send me to the Jingfu Yamen, I will not run away now even though I am seriously injured, I will go with you voluntarily."
The opera singers had sharp ears and eyes, so he could tell that they did not have a Beijing accent, and he could also see that although this family was secretive, they were indeed low-key people.
So, for them, one thing more is worse than one thing less.
Sending him to the Jingfu Yamen is their best choice.
“Is there a banquet at your house today?”
He looked at the food outside the courtyard that had not yet been cleared away, showed the flattering smile he used to please the dignitaries, and bowed his hands:
“I beg you, madam, to reward me with a bowl of food. I have been on the run for many days, and I am already hungry.”
Yin Le raised his eyebrows in surprise. This man was so calm, and he still had the time to beg for food when his life and death were at stake.
But Master always said that in the vast world, food is the most important thing, and what ordinary people want is just one meal at a time.
“Go and collect the leftovers.” Qin Yao ordered.
Yin Le nodded and turned around to get the bowl.
Wu Sheng's eyes suddenly lit up, and when he raised his hand to thank him, suddenly another faint voice came from above:
“Tell me your secret and you can eat as much as you want.”
Liu Ji, who was standing next to Qin Yao, was excited. Who doesn't like to hear the gossip of the East Palace?
“My wife is true to her word and she will do what she says. Tell me this secret quickly and I will go to the kitchen to serve you delicious food.”
Liu Ji was no longer afraid. He came to Wu Sheng, knelt down and told him how spicy the drunken shrimp in Xianglou that day was, how fragrant and soft the chicken cake was, and how delicious the eight-treasure turtle soup was.
For a hungry person, such temptation is unconsciously fatal. Wu Sheng couldn't help but swallowed several times, and his eyes were red with greed.
Just when Yin Le brought the food, Liu Ji took it and put it in front of the person's nose and turned it around, but refused to eat it.
With Awang and others in the house suppressing him, Wu Sheng really didn't dare to take food from his bowl, so he gave in without any psychological burden.
"This matter is of great importance, I can only talk to my wife alone." As he spoke, his eyes fell on the bowl in Liu Ji's hand, and he swallowed hard.
Qin Yao immediately waved, "Come here and tell me."
Wusheng smiled sadly, "I'm afraid I have to trouble Madam to move." He was so hungry that he couldn't live without this bowl of rice.
Liu Ji clicked his tongue twice, it was so miserable, and suddenly his conscience struck him, so he twisted a piece of plain chicken and fed it to him.
“Eat a piece first, let me give you a taste of Tianxianglou. Master, I'm not lying to you. It tastes great, right?”
Wusheng nodded wildly, "It's delicious. I've never eaten such delicious meat!"
However, when I wanted to eat again, I couldn't.
For a desperate man who is so hungry that he wants to eat people, what is more terrifying than starvation is suddenly tasting a little delicious food.
Wu Sheng's stomach seemed to be gnawing at thousands of ants. As soon as Qin Yao squatted down, he immediately told all the secrets he had heard.
