Chapter 385 Shadow

At this moment, a maid suddenly ran over from the other end of the corridor in a panic. Seeing that there were many people in the garden, she whispered something to Guan Kui.

Guan Kui's face changed, and he immediately ran to the other end of the corridor with a lantern.

Tang Wanhong looked at Guan Kui and the maid, and his eyes froze as they hurried away. He had guessed what had happened.

He looked at the guards who were still surrounding the garden, and said coldly with a dark face: "Why are you all standing here? Guard your posts and do what you should do!"

The guards saw that Tang Wanhong's words were full of anger, and they immediately dispersed and hid in the dark.

The man in the felt hat also wanted to leave, but Tang Wanhong suddenly stopped him and said: "Xiong Yi, don't leave, go to my room and wait for me. I'll be there in a while."

After all, the man who broke into Shen Garden at night had fought with Xiong Yi, and he must ask about the situation clearly.

"Yes, Mr. Tang." Xiong Yi turned around and whispered, then turned and walked towards Tang Wanhong's room.

After Tang Wanhong instructed Xiong Yi, he immediately walked quickly to the other end of the corridor. He was a little worried that Guan Kui would not handle it well.

Sure enough, as soon as he walked to the other end of the corridor, Guan Kui rushed out with a lantern. He saw Tang Wanhong walking quickly, was slightly stunned, and immediately said: "Boss, the two county magistrates are clamoring to leave."

Tang Wanhong's face was cold and hard. "You go about your business. Clean up the room."

Guan Kui turned sideways, lowered his head slightly, and said: "Yes."

Tang Wanhong walked quickly past Guan Kui and pushed the door into a room not far away.

The moment he entered the door, his originally cold face was immediately filled with implicit smiles.

In the room, the two county magistrates had already put on their clothes. One sat on the table, drinking water, and the other walked back and forth not far from the table.

The two looked a little flustered.

As soon as Tang Wanhong entered the room, the two men's eyes immediately locked on him.

The person who was pacing immediately stopped, looked at him, and said, "Mr. Tang, what happened just now? Didn't you say that it was safe here?"

The person sitting in front of the table drinking tea spat out a piece of tea in his mouth. "Yes! Who just broke in? Are we exposed?"

Tang Wanhong smiled and said, "You two should be patient. It was just a petty thief just now, and he was scared away by the guards. You two adults don't need to panic."

"Frightened away?"

The two county magistrates looked at each other, and the man standing in front of the table turned his head and asked, "Isn't the person captured?"

Tang Wanhong said, "No."

"Mr. Tang, hurry up! Find someone to send us away!"

Tang Wanhong said, "Yes. I'll arrange it right away."

Tang Wanhong's mind was to send these two guys away as soon as possible, so that he could concentrate on investigating what happened tonight. He had a bad feeling in his heart. What happened tonight was definitely not simple.

Duan Rong took the long wooden box containing the "Autumn Clearing Picture" and walked alone in the dark night road, returning to the room where they had eaten before.

He walked slowly into the room.

In the room, Shen Mizhi had actually returned and was chatting with Xiao Yu at the dining table.

She had taken off her nightgown and put on her original green water skirt.

Duan Rong glanced at Shen Mizhi, then sat down at the dining table without making a sound.

Duan Rong noticed that the sweat on Shen Mizhi's forehead was just wiped and was shiny. And there was a small piece of residual sweat on her right forehead, which was obviously too hasty and not wiped.

When Duan Rong looked over, Shen Mizhi's eyes obviously avoided it.

Xiao Yu looked at Duan Rong and said, "Why did you take so long?"

Duan Rong said, "I chatted with an old friend."

He said, he took the long wooden box and handed it to Xiao Yu, saying, "Keep this thing."

Xiao Yu took it and asked, "What is this?"

"A painting." Duan Rong said, "Keep it well, maybe it will be useful in the future."

"Really?" Xiao Yu thought Duan Rong was just talking casually, and put the wooden box behind her without paying much attention.

She put a plate of stir-fried beef in front of Duan Rong, saying, "You didn't eat much just now. This beef is good, you should eat more."

Duan Rong nodded, picked up a few slices of beef and put them in his mouth. It was really delicious and very tasty. It should be braised first and then stir-fried.

Duan Rong was eating there, and Shen Mizhi and Xiao Yu started chatting again.

Although Shen Mizhi smiled faintly, Duan Rong could see the shadow and the resentment hidden deep in her eyes from her smile.

Shen Mizhi is actually a tragedy.

Duan Rong remembered a word he often heard in his previous life, called native family.

Although on the surface, her life is better than Xiao Yu's.

However, Xiao Yu and Xiao Zongting have a good father-daughter relationship. Deep in their hearts, they highly recognize each other's existence.

This makes them real relatives and a bond that is closely connected to each other. Therefore, Xiao Yu can get real warmth and happiness.

This experience will enrich her life and fill her heart with an inner vitality.

But Shen Mizhi is the opposite. Although Shen Yanliu is already an inspector, Shen Mizhi grew up in a lonely environment.

Emotionally, she does not identify with her father.

Just like there is a thorn in her heart, based on this paranoid and cold life experience, it is difficult for her to identify with this world.

In the inner garden, in Tang Wanhong's room.

The two of them have taken their seats, and Xiong Yi seems a little awkward.

In the room, the bright light illuminated Xiong Yi's face, with deep eye sockets and a straight nose.

Tang Wanhong took a look at the filthy felt hat on Xiong Yi's head. In fact, Xiong Yi's appearance, judging from his appearance, seemed to be vaguely recognizable as a handsome young man, but he was sloppy and drunk all day, making him smell of alcohol and stench, and everyone avoided him.

Perhaps, everyone has an abyss in their hearts.

Tang Wanhong originally met him by chance in the street market.

That day, he went to a shop to do business, and suddenly a few hooligans on the street molested a woman.

People on the street watched coldly.

Xiong Yi, who was sleeping on the street in rags, suddenly took action and knocked those hooligans to the ground. The woman fled in a hurry without even saying thank you to him.

But Xiong Yi didn't care and continued to sleep on the street.

When Tang Wanhong finished his work and left, he found Xiong Yi still lying there.

He thought for a moment and then walked over.

Tang Wanhong squatted down and patted Xiong Yi. "Hey! I have a bodyguard job for you, what do you want?"

He had seen Xiong Yi's move just now. He was very skilled and had a strong sense of justice. He felt that such a person was more reliable than those mixed people recruited from the underworld.

Xiong Yi glanced at him coldly. "I drink every day."

As soon as Xiong Yi opened his mouth, Tang Wanhong smelled the strong smell of alcohol, and he hesitated for a moment. "How much do you drink every day?"

"Always."

Tang Wanhong stood up and said coldly: "Drunkards are trash!"

"I have never been drunk since I was a child."

"Really?" Tang Wanhong looked at Xiong Yi suspiciously and said, "Then let's go, I'll buy you a drink."

Xiong Yi immediately jumped up from the wall.

That day, in the restaurant, Xiong Yi drank three whole jars of strong liquor, his face was not red, he was not out of breath, and he did not stutter when he spoke.

From that day on, he became Tang Wanhong's bodyguard.

Tang Wanhong looked at Xiong Yi and asked, "Who do you think the person who broke into the garden just now was?"

Xiong Yi's eyes under the brim of his hat flashed with a thoughtful light, and he answered in a low voice, "It might be someone from the Dirty Blood Sect..."

"What?!" The muscles on Tang Wanhong's face jumped obviously.

Xiong Yi then told Tang Wanhong about the feeling of him being instantly trapped in a different dimension.

The only thing Xiong Yi knew was the Dirty Blood Divine Art, which was strange and unpredictable. Therefore, he guessed that it was probably the Dirty Blood Divine Art that made him fall into the different dimension instantly.

Tang Wanhong stood up and paced back and forth in the room.

He didn't expect that this matter would also involve the Dirty Blood Sect.

Because of the special hobbies of some officials, several women were really killed in this garden, and he asked Guan Kui to deal with the bodies.

He had always known that the cultivation method of the Filthy Blood Cult was to deal with the corpses of young women.

Perhaps they found this place by following the female corpse.

They probably suspected that Shen Garden was a base of the Filthy Blood Cult, so they ventured in to investigate.

Take a look at the book forum without any mistakes!

If so, it's not bad, at least they are not here for their secrets.

Tang Wanhong suddenly turned around, looked at Xiong Yi, and said, "I will go to the city later. I have to discuss this with Lord Shen."

Xiong Yi said, "Then I will go with you."

Xiong Yi is Tang Wanhong's bodyguard. Basically, he will follow Tang Wanhong wherever he goes.

Tang Wanhong said, "No need. The garden is not peaceful. You stay and pay more attention to the movements in the garden."

"Yes!" Xiong Yi bowed his head.

Not long after, Tang Wanhong sat in a sedan chair and left the garden.

Xiong Yi leaned over a rooftop and watched Tang Wanhong's sedan from afar, disappearing into the dark night. Then he suddenly turned his head, his eyes emitting a bright cold light in the darkness.

After Duan Rong and the others had finished their meal, they went to rest.

They were all very tired after traveling and climbing mountains today.

Xiao Yu had fallen asleep, but Duan Rong was sitting cross-legged at the head of the bed, pretending to be asleep.

He felt that this garden was quite strange, so he kept his consciousness covering the surroundings and did not dare to relax his vigilance.

At this moment, not far from the room where they lived, a black shadow suddenly jumped into a bamboo forest, and then jumped out of the tall courtyard wall from the bamboo forest.

It was a man in black, with his face covered and a black cloth wrapped around his head.

The moment Duan Rong captured the man in black with his consciousness, he learned from the lesson of not checking Shen Mizhi at the beginning, and directly used his consciousness to penetrate the black cloth covering his face.

Duan Rong thought to himself, it can't be that girl Shen Mizhi again, right?

Duan Rong "saw" the man's face clearly. His heart moved slightly, and his eyebrows twisted into a ball.

"Xiong Yi? It's the man wearing a felt hat."

This man's whereabouts are so mysterious, and in the middle of the night, he changed his clothes and sneaked out of the garden. Obviously, there is something hidden.

Duan Rong hesitated for a moment, he glanced at Xiao Yu who was sleeping beside him, and gently pushed open the window, like a wild cat, and jumped out of the house.

This man is Tang Wanhong's man, he is really curious, what exactly is this man going to do when he goes out late at night?

In the dark night, the surroundings are silent.

Xiong Yi's figure is swift, sneaking in the dark night!

Duan Rong's figure is like the god of death, following him from a distance.

Under the lock of the consciousness, Duan Rong bit him far away.

Duan Rong's body and light work far exceeded him, and the distance was so far, Xiong Yi couldn't find him at all!

Duan Rong's body is like a deciduous leaf. In the night of the black cricket, it is like a ghost charm ...

There is a damaged mountain god temple next to the forest of the official road.

This temple is only slightly larger than the tombstone. Without internal space, only incense and offering offering.

Xiong's body, in the night, stopped in front of the temple. He looked down and found that a newly lit incense was inserted in front of the temple. Red dots.

He coughed and said, "It's me. Come out."

Then, a figure came out of the mountain god temple.

It was a slender figure. As soon as he came out, he asked, "Is it clean behind you? Have no tail follow you?"

Xiong Yi laughed and said, "Is there any tail, can you not hear it?"

The reason why this person would become his connector is that he practiced a kind of work of listening to the position, silence, within a hundred steps, any sound of a stingy sound, it is difficult to escape his ears.

Unfortunately, within a hundred steps, when Duan Rong achieved the second layer of fetal Tibetan scriptures, the scope of the consciousness was shrouded, and now he has achieved the eleventh layer of fetal Tibetan scriptures. The state of full release is far more than a hundred steps.

That humanitarian: "If you hear someone, I won't come out at all."

After he finished speaking, when he stopped slightly, he looked at the dark shadow in front of him and asked, "Did you tell you the last time, don't you contact me if you have no major things? What happened to you?

Xiong Yi sighed and said, "I know."

That humanity: "Try to worry, it's easy, and you're a game to let you get close to Tang Wanhong. You come out late at night, in case him discover it?"

Xiong Yi said: "I can't find it. He returned to the city and saw Shen Yanliu."

"Oh?" The man's voice obviously changed. "What's wrong?"

Xiong Yi said: "At night, someone broke into the garden, and it should be spy on something."

"Someone broke into the garden?"

"yes."

"Who is it?"

"I don't know." Xiong Yi said: "I suspect that it is a person who teaches blood."

"People who teach blood?"

"yes!"

Then, Xiong Yi said that he instantly fell into a different space and said to the people in front of him. It is far more detailed than telling Tang Wanhong.

The man was silent, and said, "Okay. I know. I will tell it above that they will find someone to investigate. Don't care about it."

"Okay." Xiong Yi said.

The man asked: "Where is the book bill in Tang Wanhong's hand?

"Not yet." Xiong Yi said: "However, I think he has trusted me very much. For another time, I should be able to find out."

"Okay. This matter is very related, be careful."

"I know!"

The man suddenly turned around, destroying the half -burning incense in the incense burner, and then disappeared into the dark night.

Duan Rong hid behind a big tree, his heart shook.

He always thought that Xiong Yi was Tang Wanhong, but just listened to the conversation between the two. This Xiong Yi was actually a nail that was inserted by Tang Wanhong.

What is the book bill in his hand.

Duan Rong is almost sure that the so -called regulating bill must be related to various 龌龊 transactions in Shenyuan.

"It seems that the water in that garden is really not ordinary!"

Duan Rong had decided to leave the garden with Xiao Yu tomorrow morning. There is no need to trip here to this muddy water. The group of people investigated Shen Yuan's transaction through Tang Wanhong obviously came to the Shen Yanliu behind.

This may be the political vortex of Ruyang Prefecture. He is an outsider, and he is blended with something here. Hurry up!
