Youyou Sanshengyue

Chapter 25 Night Attack

Mingyou's life is small and troublesome, although he stumbles, he is also free and easy. This is the happiness that he could not enjoy every day when he was the owner of the villa.Sometimes he really felt that he was quite cowardly. On the surface, he handed over the position of owner to his younger brother who didn't know much about the world. In fact, he was just throwing a hot potato to others.The pressure of the whole race, the strife between the races, the bloodshed, the death, he had had enough.When he handed the purple sword symbolizing power to his younger brother Jiang Mingli, he immediately met his cynical eyes, "I'm sorry, Mingli."

"I want to live an ordinary life, and I hope that I will not be reborn in a prince's house in the next life." The defeated owner of the crimson mountain villa waved his sleeves and raised the breeze, and walked down the altar gracefully, leaving everyone with a free and easy back.

"Brother... don't go!" Jiang Mingli suddenly opened his eyes and sat up straight on the cold ground. He leaned against the cell wall and recalled the scene in his dream, "May I not be born again in the prince's house in the next life..." He murmured: "If my brother knows that I, the owner of the villa, was thrown into prison by the chief financial officer, he should laugh at me for being useless."

Sheng Xiao sorted out his things, although he was reluctant to give up, he still gritted his teeth and secretly stuffed the two white jade ring fingers that Jiang Mingli gave him in the past into the hands of the guard, and begged: "Brother guard, please do me a favor, I just go in and give it to Zhuang The Lord sent some food, and now that he has lost power, he is still our owner, if he comes out in the future, wouldn't you also have merit?"

The guard frowned and thought for a moment: "That's right, come out quickly, if Director Yin knows that I let you in, our lives will be in danger." He led him into the prison.At this time, Jiang Mingli's hair was loose, and although she was wearing fine silk, her clothes were ragged and full of scars.Seeing this scene, Sheng Xiao felt a burst of pain in his heart, crying and knelt down in front of the cell and kowtowed, "It's useless for the little one, it made the owner suffer." The guard on the side opened the cell door and said, "Go in quickly. Hurry up, I'll go out to watch over you." Sheng Xiao thanked the guards with gratitude, and hurried in with her things.

The air in the cell is so dark that it pierces the bone marrow, and the damp and musty smell makes people sick.How could the owner, who had always been well-clothed and well-fed, endure such a harsh environment.While wiping tears, Sheng Xiao combed Jiang Mingli's hair and laid out the bedding, feeling that she hadn't done enough.

"Why are you crying, little fool, am I fine?" Jiang Mingli pretended to be relaxed and spoke in her usual teasing tone, but her voice became more and more desolate.

"They tortured you, didn't they?" Sheng Xiao's jade-like fingers gently caressed the wound on his body, "My good owner, just recruit, where is the 5000 million taels of silver?"

"Even you don't believe me, do you?" Jiang Mingli trembled with anger, and punched the uneven wall: "I really only received 5000 taels of silver to go to the other courtyard, and I remembered it clearly in the account book. .”

"But now the account book shows 5000 million taels! Even if you have a mouth, you can't tell."

"I don't know how 5000 taels suddenly became 5000 million taels," Jiang Mingli gritted her teeth: "It must be Yin Moxu's fault. No one can manage the books except him."

The owner of the Crimson Purple Mountain Villa was imprisoned by the chief financial officer for embezzling a huge amount of public funds without permission. This was the first time in the history of the Sirius clan, and the news spread wildly overnight.The current villa owner's cynical, arrogant, extravagant and wasteful temperament has already been dissatisfied by many people. When this incident happened, the entire villa was even more relieved.Elder Qiu took the lead in proposing to abolish Jiang Mingli and re-elect the owner of the villa, but Elder Hui insisted on opposing it. After coming and going, the two factions fought more fiercely, and the elders' courtyard was in chaos for a while.Elder Hui had no choice but to send Xiao Jia to Tianling Village to ask Ming You to come out and preside over the political affairs.

For Ming You, the peaceful days passed quickly every day, and time turned into a clear spring flowing between the fingers, a river full of life.The warmth of the spring breeze drove away the cold of winter, and I felt much more relaxed when I took off my winter clothes.The spring at the bottom of the mountain comes earlier than that at the top of the mountain, and the temperature rises quickly and obviously. In a blink of an eye, the leaves of the sycamore trees in front of the thatched cottage spit out green buds, and clusters of tender and soft greens drop out of the treetops, pursing their small mouths to kiss the blue sky. Sky.

Xiao Jia had been waiting at the gate of the academy early, Ming You just pretended not to see it, and continued to give lectures, making him wait at the gate for a long time.I thought that he would return in spite of the difficulties, but who knew that this idiot would sit on his buttocks and gag his mouth.After school, Ming You slowly packed up her things before coming out.Xiaojia had already waited for half a day, clutching the hem of his gown and kowtowing three times: "If you keep hiding from the little one, grass will grow on the little one. Now that the owner is in trouble, you can't just leave him alone." .”

Ming You helped his forehead helplessly: "Speak, what's the matter?"

After listening to Xiao Jia's narration, he also realized that this matter was not trivial and definitely something strange, "Can you show me the ledger?"

"The account book is with Manager Yin. This is evidence against the owner of the embezzlement of a huge amount of public funds. How could he hand it over so easily?" Xiao Jia was often bullied by Yin Moxu, and had long been angry and hated at him: "You don't know, It turns out that when you were the owner of the villa, Manager Yin didn't dare to make big moves, but now he sees that the owner of Mingli Village doesn't care about political affairs, isn't he becoming more and more lawless!"

Ming You heaved a long sigh, he knew that no one would recognize him when he went back now, so he only agreed to secretly assist in the investigation of this matter.

"Go back and tell Sheng Xiao to come see me tomorrow."

Sheng Xiao was concerned about Jiang Mingli's safety, so he hurried over on horseback after getting the news.When Xuanyue opened the door, she was taken aback by this handsome but haggard young man. As soon as he entered the door, he knelt down in front of Ming You: "The little one has let you down. You didn't take good care of the owner." His original rosy cheeks became pale and thin, and he didn't feel any blame, instead he felt more pity: "Get up and talk slowly." He helped Sheng Xiao up and poured him a cup of tea himself.

"You're such a petty person." Sheng Xiao sat at the same table with the former owner of the village and negotiated, speaking politely but generously, without any despicable appearance of a servant.

"Where's the owner's seal? And the crimson sword..."

"It's all hidden, please rest assured."

Ming You nodded in satisfaction: "As long as Yin Moxu doesn't get the Great Seal and the Purple Sword, he can't be too hard on Jiang Mingli."

Xuanyue leaned against the door and looked at this young man by candlelight. He looked young but very shrewd. Whenever Ming You asked him, he would answer everything.

At this time, Mingyou suddenly noticed that Xuanyue was looking at them, and waved him to go to rest. Xuanyue knew that Mingyou didn't want him to interfere with the affairs of the Crimson Purple Villa, so she didn't ask any more questions, and fell asleep first.When he got up the next day and found that there was no one in the room, he lowered the corners of his mouth in frustration, and went to the academy to teach alone with his piano.

It was just dawn, and the prison cell in Jiangzi Villa was cold and stiff. Jiang Mingli tossed and turned on the stone bed with his arms pillowed, feeling that every joint in his body was aching from the cold. He closed his eyes and subconsciously murmured: "Sheng Xiao, give me Bring the stove..." I haven't seen anything for a long time, when I opened my eyes, I saw the dark walls, and my heart sank suddenly.

"Isn't it quite warm here? Do you need to warm up the stove?" Yin Moxu suddenly appeared, and he went in with a basket of vegetables, "How are the owner's days comfortably?"

Jiang Mingli sneered and said nothing, she was already so hungry that her chest was pressed against her back, but she still didn't move her chopsticks, Yin Moxu smiled and said, "Why? Afraid of being poisoned?" He tried every meal while talking: "How about ? If I want to kill you, I don’t need to spend a lot of time.”

"You don't dare to kill me. If you kill me, where are you going to find Dayin and Jiangzijian?" Although Jiang Mingli had already been tortured physically and mentally exhausted, she still put on a proud kingly smile, raised her sleeve and waved vigorously, eating All his brains fell to the ground: "I think the dishes that have been touched by flies are dirty."

"You!" Yin Moxu wished to tear this ignorant kid into pieces, but just as Jiang Mingli said, without the Purple Sword and Great Seal, he couldn't punish the owner of the villa at all.He gritted his teeth angrily: "I'll see why you're still crazy in a few days!" Before leaving, Yin Moxu took all his anger out on the guard and scolded him, "Don't think I didn't know you let the shengxiao in secretly, The next time this happens again, I will kill you first."

The weather in early spring is cloudy and cloudy, and the weather turns cold just after nightfall.A few thin clouds like blue smoke lay lazily on the heavy black bed in the sky, and the world was silent.Because Yin Moxu was unhappy, he drank a few more glasses of wine with Yue by himself, and his temper came and went like a storm. Elder Qiu often advised him to calm down, but he mostly vetoed it with blank eyes.

He was also sleepy due to the alcohol, and when he entered the room, he took off his outer shirt and was about to turn off the lights for a rest, when he suddenly saw a black shadow passing by outside the door, he quickly got out of bed and opened the door to check: "Who?" There was no movement around.Just as he was about to close the door, a black figure turned around and appeared in the corridor not far away.Yin Moxu quickly chased after him with his sword in hand. The man in black didn't seem to know how to do light work, but just kept running left and right aimlessly.He was puzzled and thought about it, and was startled: "No, it's been tricked!" So he stopped chasing and turned back to the house, only to find that the key to the money bank in his clothes had disappeared.

In the silent night, the sound of breathing became heavier and heavier, and Sheng Xiao felt that his throat was dry and his thirst was unbearable.He ran fast mechanically with both feet, and held the key tightly in his palm as if holding the light of life. He had to get the ledger before Yin Moxu arrived.He looked around the door of the money bank, and after confirming that no one saw him, he took out the key, and the heavy iron lock bounced open with a scream, and he lit the oil lamp and trotted in.The ledger was new, so it was easy to find.

Sheng Xiao couldn't hide his joyful expression under the masked black cloth, he frantically put the account book into his arms, when suddenly his neck became cold, and the chilling voice came from behind: "You think your legs will be faster than my lightness kung fu?" Show me who you are?" Yin Moxu squinted the corners of his long and narrow eyes, and quickly opened the knot on the back of his head with his sword, and the black mask fluttered down. At this time, Sheng Xiao was too frightened to stand still. Feet, hands still tightly protecting the ledger on his chest, with his back turned to him. "Turn your face around and let me see, I guess you are..." Sensing a sudden chill on his neck, Yin Moxu lowered his eyes and saw a sharp cold blade suddenly appearing on his neck.

"The praying mantis catches the cicada, and the oriole follows behind." Another man in black stood behind Yin Moxu, with a long sword in his hand pressing his every move.

The situation at this time was very strange. Sheng Xiao was held hostage by Yin Moxu, and Yin Moxu was held hostage by another man in black. stopped.

"Put down the sword and let him go." The man in black's tone was very menacing, and the cold blade sank deeper into the skin around Yin Moxu's neck.Yin Moxu sneered, and slowly lowered the sword in his hand, so Sheng Xiao picked up the ledger and left quickly.At that moment, Yin Moxu turned around suddenly, raised his sword and started fighting with the man in black.The steel collided violently and rubbed sparks, and there were no fewer than dozens of rounds of fighting back and forth.He felt that he was no match for the fierce attack of the man in black, so he fled out of the treasury in frustration.
