Chapter 141 Inexplicable way of death (8000)
Fengling Mansion, here we come.
Compared with the previous prefectures, Fengling Mansion has special characteristics. Compared with those prefectures, this Fengling Mansion has a unique and exotic style.
The word "wind chime" actually refers to the rhythm.
Here, even ordinary people know some melody, and melody has become the main theme here.
Puppets of the fourth rank were holding a horse by their left and right hands, while Xu Bai and Ye Zi walked on foot. Ye Zi leaned against Xu Bai and held Xu Bai's hand.
Xu Bai looked at the scenery on both sides of the street, and sighed secretly, the style here is slightly different.
On both sides of the surrounding streets, in addition to selling some daily things, various vendors sell a variety of musical instruments. Musical instruments have become the mainstream here, and every ordinary person seems to have a different atmosphere. .
As the saying goes, one side's water and soil support the other's people, and even the temperament of the people in Fengling Mansion is very in line with the way of rhythm.
If it is in some barbaric lands, the people must be tough, but in this Fengling Mansion, the temperament is like a water town.
After returning to Fengling Mansion, Ye Zi became more at ease, after all, he was born and raised here, even though he didn't go out a few steps due to the Ye family's reasons, he still felt a sense of returning home.
"My lord, why don't you just stay at Ye's house?" Ye Zi walked happily with her slender thighs, turned around, leaned on Xu Bai's shoulder and said, "You are a distinguished guest of Ye's house, even if you live in Ye's house, They'll just be happy too."
Xu Bai thought for a while, then nodded in agreement.
If he finds it troublesome, he can go directly to the inn to live, but this time he can go to Ye’s house for a few days, the purpose of which is naturally for the book about the spirit, after all, this thing is very important to him.
The shortage of soul must be made up as soon as possible, otherwise there will be changes if it is too late. After all, he doesn't know whether the next enemy will be strong in this respect.
Ye Zi was overjoyed when he heard the words, put his arms around Xu Bai's arms, and pressed his body against them: "Young master is so kind."
Xu Bai moved his arm, Ye Zi reacted immediately, his face turned reddish.
"Lead the way."
He knew very well what Ye Zi was thinking.
This is similar to Homecoming, but this is another version of Homecoming.
At the very beginning, when the Ye family decided to give Ye Zi to him, Ye Zi was extremely opposed. During this time, other women in the Ye family also took pleasure in her misfortune. This was on the way here, Ye Zi said.
At that time, it was a choice in itself, and many women were unwilling. After all, they had also heard the rumors about Xu Bai in the Jianghu. Who would be willing to serve a moody man?
But Ye Zi was the only one chosen in the end.
Other members of the family are naturally gloating, and some are even sarcastic.
This is a normal thing, not every family is united, most of the Ye family are women.
As the saying goes, there are three women in one drama, and there are many women in the Ye family, so the drama is also very full.
Ye Zi was thinking carefully, naturally he wanted to go back and show the people of the Ye family, so that those people of the Ye family could understand that Xu Bai was not like the legends in the Jianghu, on the contrary, he was still a very gentle person.
Regarding this, Xu Bai followed Ye Zi.
Anyway, I want to drop by to get the progress bar of the soul, which happens to satisfy Ye Zi's state of mind, so why not do it?
Ye Zi hugged Xu Bai's arm, bouncing and leading the way ahead.
Xu Bai also enjoys it very much. After all, when a particularly magnificent woman jumps with her arms around her arms, her arms are very comfortable.
Just like that, the two walked through various streets, and finally came to a mansion that looked quite luxurious.
On the plaque, there are two characters painted with iron and silver hooks - Ye Family.
The servant at the door, who was guarding carefully at the moment, suddenly saw someone approaching, and subconsciously looked over.
Immediately afterwards, the servant was taken aback for a moment, then quickly turned around and opened the door, and walked inside, yelling as he walked.
"Come on, someone, Ye Zi is back, come on!"
The voice was so loud that it made Xu Bai very embarrassed.
"My lord, please don't mind, after all, Ye Zi escaped back then." Ye Zi said apologetically.
Not long after, a group of servants came out from inside, surrounded Xu Bai and others, and at the same time, a lot of women walked out.
"Ye Zi, you dare to go back to the family, aren't you afraid of being severely punished?" One of the women was quite young, and there was a beauty mole the size of a grain of rice at the corner of her eye, which added charm to her beautiful face, "The Patriarch is rushing On the way here, I advise you not to have other thoughts."
Ye Zi didn't panic when he saw this scene, he just rested his head on Xu Bai's shoulder without saying a word.
Her action naturally attracted everyone's attention, and Qi Qi cast her gaze on Xu Bai.
"Get out of the way." Xu Bai said.
As soon as this sentence came out, he thought that these people would get out of the way. After all, he didn't come here to make trouble.
Unexpectedly, just after finishing speaking, the woman in the lead showed disdain.
"Is that the wild man she's looking for outside? Let me tell you, you're in trouble." The leading woman said coldly, "Ye Zi is Mrs. Xu Baixu's woman. How dare you seduce his woman? I don't think so." You don't want to live, do you?"
Xu Bai: "..."
By the way, isn’t he well-known, why can’t this group of people recognize him?
Before Kong Xu, I recognized him at a glance. Could it be that there are different levels?
Or is his appearance too outstanding, so he concealed his identity?
Xu Bai touched his face.
Although this is a fact, it is not outstanding to this extent.
Ye Zi leaned close to Xu Bai's ear, and because of his height, he tried his best to raise his fair neck, and said in a low voice, "My lord, all the distinguished guests of the Ye family will not let the girls of the Ye family see their appearance, and avoid seeing the extremely outstanding appearance." Yes, it caused the women of the Ye family to scramble for it."
One sentence explained Xu Bai very clearly.
Good guy, even the Ye family, which regards family members as commodities, still depends on their appearance. These days, appearance is indeed justice.
Think about it carefully, and it is true.
If you look at the appearance first, you will naturally fight for the outstanding one. After all, who wants you to commit yourself to an ugly one?
And when it comes to ugly ones, that's another way of saying it.
"If you knew my appearance in advance, would you fight for it?" Xu Bai touched his chin and said something very narcissistic.
Ye Zi chuckled, and said softly: "If you see it in advance, Ye Zi will die or live, and follow the young master."
A woman with a sweet mouth will make a man feel very face.
A woman with a sweet mouth will also make a man feel very likable.
There are two ways to say sweet mouth, one is nice to speak, the other is...
The woman in the lead frowned when she saw that these two people were not only not afraid of her, but were flirting in front of her. Her face, which was already good-looking, seemed a little weak due to frowning.
The Ye family is also unique in selecting candidates, and the women they chased out have their own styles.
There are tall ones, short ones, petite ones and tall ones, even big ones and small ones.
"Ye Yu, I know that you have climbed into the Kong family, but do you know that the young man next to me, even the Kong family, should be jealous of him." Ye Zi made a particularly exaggerated expression, covering his mouth with his hands. He pursed his lips: "You probably don't know Xu Bai."
Xu Bai?
Xu Bai!
As soon as these words came out, not only the group of women, but even the surrounding servants took a step back, making Xu Bai look like a scourge.
In fact, Xu Bai is very famous in Jianghu now, of course, he gained a notoriety.
What is cruel, what is moody, and there are even rumors that he likes to torture people the most. These various rumors are spreading in the rivers and lakes.
Actually, the various rumors here are quite in line with Xu Bai's personality. After all, as his enemy, he has indeed experienced all of them.
"It's really Mr. Xu?" Ye Yu quickly came to his senses, and said in disbelief, "Are you okay?"
As soon as this sentence came out, she knew that she had made a mistake. Wouldn't it be embarrassing for Master Xu to say this in front of Master Xu?
"Not only is it okay, the young master is not as rumored, on the contrary he is an extremely gentle person." Ye Zi leaned on Xu Bai's shoulder with a happy face.
Ye Yu's expression became extremely complicated, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
At this time, there was another sound of footsteps in the mansion, and then a middle-aged woman came out from inside.
The middle-aged woman is gorgeously dressed, with a hosta in her hair, she looks extremely expensive.
In fact, she has passed her youth, but her figure and temperament have not diminished for a long time. If the makeup on her face and hair style are not a bit old, she will be a young beauty if she just changes her look.
Presumably, in the previous life, such an aunt must have a bunch of people who eat soft food.
It's not that the soft rice can't be eaten, but whether the soft rice is good or not?
Fragrant and delicious soft rice, who would not want to eat it?
"Master Xu is here, and the humble house is full of brilliance." After the middle-aged woman, Patriarch Ye, walked out, she saluted Xu Bai, with an elegant and mature figure: "It's windy outside, how about Master Xu?"
As soon as these words came out, Xu Bai's identity was completely confirmed, and no one became suspicious again.
"Okay." Xu Bai had no expression on his face, and he didn't say a word, just a simple word, and walked towards the door.
And the less he said, the weaker his expression became, making it impossible for people to guess his heart.
Patriarch Ye waited until Xu Bai walked in, then turned his head and looked at Ye Zi, his red lips parted slightly, no sound was made, but it could be seen from his lips.
"In the end what happened?"
Ye Zi didn't speak, just followed behind Xu Bai, and walked in directly.
The women around looked at each other, and several women showed regret, especially the woman named Ye Yu.
In the beginning, Ye Yu was arranged to go, not because she was stronger than Ye Zi, but because she had a little more influence in the Ye family.
Even if it is regarded as a commodity, it has different status in the Ye family, so Ye Yu took the lead at the beginning, but because of Xu Bai's reputation in the Jianghu at that time, Ye Yu refused, and changed several women, all of them refused. up.
Now it seems that Xu Bai is not as scary as the rumors in the world, and looking at Ye Zi's expression just now, these are not fake, which means that Ye Zi is genuinely happy.
Among the women who left the Ye family, few of them had truly happy smiles, and the reason was very simple. Even if they gained a firm foothold in those places, they were just concubines after all.
Those high-ranking officials and dignitaries will not treat them with equal status. They just give some help in terms of status when the Ye family needs help, so as not to embarrass these high-ranking officials and dignitaries.
Ke Ye Zi... This is a really happy smile.
This kind of smile is extremely extravagant in the Ye family.
"If I knew it earlier, I wouldn't have refused it back then."
Those women had thoughts in their minds.
By this time, Xu Bai had already walked to a room and sat down.
I have to say that he has been watching the situation of the Ye family all the way. This Ye family deserves to rely on a unique method to gain a firm foothold in Fengling Mansion. Just relying on the various facilities in the family, it is already extremely clever.
There is a study hall dedicated to practicing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and an embroidery hall dedicated to practicing embroidery, and there is even a place for walking demeanor.
From time to time, you can see one or two beautiful girls, or holding a musical instrument, or holding a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, walking in one room.
Some girls are sitting beside the rockery, embroidering against the clear water in front of them, and the embroidered pair of mandarin ducks is lifelike.
What's more, wearing a piece of immaculate white clothes, folded his hands on his lower abdomen, and walked back and forth.
While walking, her waist shakes like a willow, but it is full of endless charm.
All in all, every facility is very exquisite, and the purpose of every facility is to cultivate members of the Ye family.
Prince, chess, calligraphy and painting, knowledge of books and rituals, even this kind of deportment must be done exquisitely. The women cultivated in this way, even those high-ranking officials, will not be unwilling.
The place where he is now is a hall dedicated to receiving guests. The furniture inside is very well placed. After entering the door, you can smell a pleasant sandalwood fragrance.
Xu Bai made a rough comparison, and compared with the sandalwood fragrance on Liuxu, it is still a bit worse.
The sandalwood fragrance on Liu Xu's body was brewed for a long time.
It is naturally marinated, and of course it smells more comfortable.
Ye Zi stood behind Xu Bai, rubbing Xu Bai's shoulders with soft, boneless hands.
Xu Bai raised his head, just leaning on Ye Zi's chest, squinting his eyes, looking at the head of the Ye family.
She seems to be a plump woman, but Xu Baijiu hangs out in the rivers and lakes, so it can be seen that this Ye Patriarch is as shrewd as a businessman.
"Master Xu, use tea." Two servant girls came up, holding the teacup, and carefully handed it to Xu Bai.
When handing it over, I don't know if it was intentional, and my fingers hooked Xu Bai's palm.
"Master Xu, I don't know if you want to stay in Ye's house for a few days this time, or do you have other plans?" Patriarch Ye took a sip of tea with a soft voice.
She didn't ask Xu Bai what's going on, why Ye Zi stayed by Xu Bai's side, these are unnecessary to ask.
Smart people have never paid attention to these processes, but only to the results. Now it seems that the results are very perfect. This is a good thing. If you ask too much, it will make the other party feel bored.
Xu Bai also likes to talk to smart people. After all, everything can be straightforward. He also took a sip of tea, then put down the cup, and said, "I want to borrow your book."
Book?
Patriarch Ye was stunned on the spot, not recovering for a long time.
Borrowing books?
What does it mean?
This was said so abruptly that Patriarch Ye did not react.
Even if he is talking about a borrower, he can understand it very well. After all, if he wants to borrow someone, Patriarch Ye can pull out many stunning personalities at any time for Xu Bai to choose.
"It's like this, Ye Zi is now my person, so she must always follow me, but after her strength improves, she must have the corresponding exercises, so I will come here to get the follow-up exercises." Xu Bai laughed.
This reason is very good, after all, Ye Zi is now his, so it is reasonable for him to help Ye Zi to ask for the exercises.
The face of the Ye family leader became unnatural: "The Ye family does not include the follow-up to the books of the craftsman."
Ye family's exercises are spiritual cultivation. If they are perfect, they can reach the second rank. Of course, the Ye family master is not perfect.
But this thing, the Ye family never asks for follow-up. All the women who leave the Ye family will not have this request. Xu Bai was the first to propose it for Ye Zi.
Cultivation method is the most important thing for the Ye family. To be precise, it is very important for every family.
"Patriarch Ye, I was born in Jianghu, and I am not one of those high-ranking officials. To achieve today's achievements, it is all done abruptly. I value strength more. The stronger Ye Zi is, the better for you." Xu Bai drank again. After taking a sip of tea, he said slowly.
He has picked out the meaning inside and outside the words very clearly.
Yes, in the future, as long as he can help, he will naturally help. This is also Xu Bai's principle.
In business, as long as the payment is in place, everyone is a person of integrity. After all, his integrity is well-known.
Like catkins without flowers before, and Yun Zihai behind, even the current Emperor, he is very honest in doing business.
"Master Xu, can you allow me to think about it for two more days?" Patriarch Ye also understood the meaning, "This is not a trivial matter, I have to think about it carefully."
"Of course, Xu is not an unreasonable person. Patriarch Ye can think about it, and if he disagrees, it's fine." Xu Bai stood up: "It's just the last few days, I'm going to disturb Patriarch Ye , I want to live in Ye's house."
"You are a distinguished guest of my Ye family, that's natural, come here." The head of the Ye family waved his plain hand.
Following Patriarch Ye's action, two servant girls walked in immediately with their heads down, and brought Xu Bai and Ye Zi to the upper room.
Xu Bai and Ye Zi lived in one room, while the fourth-rank puppet lived in another room. After all, in the eyes of Patriarch Ye, the fourth-rank puppet was a living person.
The room is the real room, from the layout to the furnishings, all are top-notch, even the soft bedding on the bed has a strange fragrance, which smells refreshing.
This bed is big enough for several people to roll on it. It seems that the Ye family is also sensible, and the layout of the guest room is quite good.
And there is a curtain next to it, and there is a huge wooden barrel in the curtain, which is used for bathing.
"Master Xu, do you need hot water?" The two maids looked at each other and asked.
Traveling, Xu Bai was naturally a little tired, so he nodded in agreement.
"Bring me a change of clothes, it's in my previous room." Ye Zi added.
The two maids hurried down, and after a while, they put full hot water in the wooden barrel.
At the same time, he also brought Ye Zi's changed clothes.
After finishing all this, the two maids left without stopping.
At other times, maybe they have the idea of staying, after all, they can take a bath for Xu Bai, and maybe they can get a lot of benefits in exchange.
But with Ye Zi here, they have nothing to do with them. After all, compared to Ye Zi, their maidservants are much less beautiful.
"I'll help you take a bath." Ye Zi put the changed clothes aside, and at the same time drew the curtain.
The curtain is placed in the room, of course it is not for covering. After all, the door is tightly closed, and it is useless to cover it. It is only used to keep warm and prevent the heat from escaping.
Xu Bai nodded, and after Ye Zi took off his clothes, he lay down in the barrel, resting his head on the edge of the barrel.
Ye Zi rubbed Xu Bai's head and shoulders first, and then began to wash, chatting while cleaning.
"My lord, Ye Yu's expression today is so wonderful."
As he spoke, Ye Zi told the story of the incident, including that it was Ye Yu who took her place.
Xu Bai smiled and said: "It seems that you were not having a good time in the Ye family before."
Ye Zi nodded unabashedly. In front of her son, she did not hide her experience: "The Ye family is a family in itself, so there are naturally ranks. I am often bullied by her."
Of course it can be seen that Ye Zi's character, in fact, seems to be in line with the characteristics of the Ye family. On the surface, he is as weak as water, but inside he is extremely strong.
If he hadn't been strong inside, he wouldn't have gone against the Ye family's ideas and sneaked out of the Ye family.
If it were any other woman, I'm afraid she would have been convinced a long time ago, and she wouldn't have the intention of running away.
While talking, Ye Zi lowered his hand slowly, continued to wash for Xu Bai, and said, "My lord, what if the Patriarch doesn't give it?"
Xu Bai closed his eyes and enjoyed it, and said: "I won't give it up, your Patriarch has the shrewdness of a businessman, so this is a business. The reason why she said that it will be postponed for two days is just thinking about what to do. What kind of conditions can make her hand over the things."
During the chat just now, Xu Bai had already seen that Patriarch Ye was already moved, but after all, it was a business. If he gave something to Xu Bai, Patriarch Ye would of course know what he wanted.
So it takes two days to think about what Patriarch Ye needs.
Of course, this is a business. If two days later, the conditions raised by the Ye family are too high, Xu Bai will naturally ignore it.
"Young master is really accurate." Ye Zi laughed.
"I have more important things than this." Xu Bai suddenly became serious.
Ye Zi was taken aback for a moment, and subconsciously asked, "What's the matter?"
"It's been washed there for a long time, and the fire has started." Xu Bai grabbed Ye Zi's arm with his backhand, and dragged her into the wooden barrel amidst Ye Zi's exclamation.
The exclamation gradually sounded with a suppressed sound.
…
The next day.
Xu Bai got up from his deep sleep, and patted Ye Zi on the shoulder.
Ye Zi opened his eyes in a daze, raised his fair arm, and rubbed his eyes with the back of his hand.
The aura on her body has changed, becoming stronger than before. Just last night, when she was in the wooden barrel, Ye Zi reached the fifth rank.
Strong Kidney Harvesting Technique, fierce!
"Young master, wait a moment." Ye Zi put on his clothes, and began to dress Xu Bai, "Today, I will take you to visit Fengling Mansion."
Following Ye Zi's movements, it shook for a while.
Xu Bai nodded, and after Ye Zi finished dressing, he got up and went to the door, and opened it.
The sunlight outside the door came in, Xu Bai squinted his eyes, and took a breath of fresh air.
In the yard not far away, there were two maidservants standing. After seeing Xu Bai open the door, they hurried over.
"Master Xu, do you have any orders?" the servant girl asked.
Xu Bai shook his head.
Ye Zi stepped forward and said, "Today I'm going to take you to the mansion for a stroll, so leave us alone."
The servant girl nodded, lowered her head again, and returned to her original position.
Fengling Mansion is of course to be visited, Xu Bai has not forgotten his original purpose.
First look at the general situation of this Fengling mansion, in order to face the next interception.
"Ye Zi, your journey has been very hard, why don't you take a break, and I'll take Mr. Xu out for a stroll." Ye Yu came out from nowhere, and said softly.
While speaking, her waist swayed slightly, as if in an arms display.
Ye Zi didn't say anything.
Xu Bai didn't say anything, and pulled Ye Zi directly around Ye Yu, without even looking at her, and walked towards the door.
—This woman is boring.
The fourth-rank puppet followed behind Xu Bai with a burden on its back.
Ye Yu was the only one left, messing around in the wind.
The two maids didn't dare to look at it, but it could be seen from their suppressed smiles that they wanted to laugh, but they didn't dare to.
"In these days, do people still care about having too many women?" Ye Yu was numb.
What she thought was that since Xu Bai is not as terrifying as the rumors in the world, it is absolutely necessary to get close. After all, in terms of potential, Xu Bai's potential is very huge.
But it never occurred to him that Xu Bai didn't even look at her.
Is she worse than Ye Zi?
Maybe it's a little worse, after all, Ye Zi's softness is natural, but it's not much worse.
"Impossible." Ye Yu said to himself.
While thinking this way, Xu Bai and the others were already walking on the street.
I have to say that the temperament of this Fengling mansion is indeed much more elegant than other mansions. All kinds of musical instruments, just placed there, make people look comfortable.
Of course, in Xu Bai's view, this area full of unique musical atmosphere has some weaknesses and shortcomings. The most obvious one is that it lacks the market atmosphere.
Streets, vendors, including those walking passers-by, if there is no atmosphere of the market, on the contrary, there is a sense of lack.
People come and go, Ye Zi leans beside Xu Bai, explaining various places to Xu Bai from time to time.
Women in the Ye family do seldom go out, but they can learn theoretical knowledge, and they can use it in practice just by taking a look at it, for example, leading the way now.
Ye Zi just saw a place, and he was able to corroborate with the memory in his mind, acting as a guide for Xu Bai.
Xu Bai was walking while listening, wandering all the way, but nothing happened. It was not until noon that the two were ready to return to Ye's house.
But before they could make a move, they suddenly discovered that there was a change on the street.
The crowd began to move in one direction. Such a large number of people moving in one direction naturally attracted Xu Bai's attention.
Xu Bai touched his chin, grabbed a person casually, and asked, "Brother, what happened in front, why are you all walking in the same direction?"
The people who were held back were slightly taken aback, seeing an inexplicable aura on Xu Bai's body, which made him feel very scared, and seeing a black knife on Xu Bai's waist, he couldn't help shrinking his neck, honestly Said: "I heard that someone died in Chunyu Pavilion, and the death was quite miserable. We are going to watch the excitement."
Chunyu Pavilion?
Xu Bai let go of his hand and let the commoner leave, frowning.
The Chunyu Pavilion opened by the Ninth Princess has always been one of the important sources of wealth for the Great Chu Kingdom. Now something happened to the Chunyu Pavilion, which aroused his curiosity.
And according to the meaning just now, the people who died were miserable.
"Go and have a look." Xu Bai put down his hands and said.
Ye Zi hummed lightly, and followed Xu Bai.
The two of them, together as a puppet, hurried towards the direction of Chunyu Pavilion...
Following the direction of the crowd, after walking for a while, they arrived at their destination.
At this moment, the Chunyu Pavilion, which was supposed to be the place of Fengyue, was full of people, surrounded by three floors inside and three floors outside.
It is not clear from the outside what is the situation.
After standing here for a while, a team of officials arrived not long after.
They lined up the people and let them all get out of the way before they walked inside.
At this time, Xu Bai also saw what was going on inside.
A corpse was lying on the ground, all the clothes on his body had been removed, and he died quite terribly.
From the chest to the abdomen, there is a long wound, cut open by a sharp weapon.
The most important thing is that the inside of the wound is clean, without internal organs, not even a piece of wreckage.
Dead without guts?
This is a bit interesting.
In an ordinary murder case, how could it be possible to empty out all the internal organs of a person and clean them up.
The official inspected the scene for a while, then carried the person away and covered him with a white cloth.
Among the crowd, there were voices of discussion. Xu Bai heard it and narrowed his eyes.
"Which person is this?"
"The third one, the first one died on the street, the second one died in the inn, and the internal organs were all emptied."
"Who did this?"
"Who knows, don't talk about it, let's go, the internal organs have been hollowed out, it's too weird."
…
Three dead?
Xu Bai fell into deep thought when he heard these discussions.
Not only did three die, but all three died in exactly the same way. They were cut open from the chest to the abdomen by a sharp weapon, and all internal organs were gone.
but…
Although this thing happened rather bizarrely, it didn't seem to have anything to do with intercepting him, and it wasn't aimed at him.
Xu Bai thought for a while, but he didn't think of anything that could be connected, and the two could even be said to have nothing to do with each other.
After all, how could those who wanted to kill him turn around and attack some ordinary people? It's a bit unreasonable.
At this time, Ye Zi, who is a know-it-all, spoke.
"Young master, I thought of something, which is very similar to the current situation."
(end of this chapter)
