Nightmare Attack

Recalling the Marquis of Zhennan behind the curtain, Fatty felt more and more that Jiang Cheng's words made sense. At that time, they preconceived that Marquis of Zhennan was seriously ill, but now that they thought about it, how could such an ambitious person give up the temptation of being a disciple?

If this is the case, then on that night at Spring God Lake, something very subtle must have happened between General Guo and others, the Marquis of Zhennan, and the Marquis of Zhennan’s wife. In short, it was definitely not the Marquis of Zhennan. As the story goes, there must be something hidden in it.

The more the fat man thought about it, the heavier his head became. It was a very strange feeling, as if he was stuck in a quagmire. The more he struggled, the deeper he sank. Moreover, he felt a dull pain in his shoulder, accompanied by an indescribable feeling. There was a cold air, as if someone was blowing cold wind on his shoulders and neck.

Seeing the fat man rubbing his shoulders, Jiang Cheng asked calmly, "How do you feel? Is it uncomfortable there?"

The fat man grimaced, "My shoulders are a little cold. Maybe it's because I carried that thing on my back for most of the night last night. It's so cold that it hurts in the seams of my bones."

Now recalling the scene he saw last night when he turned his head, the fat man's calf was still cramped, especially with the help of Jiang Cheng and Li Bai, who separated Gao Yanqing's fingers after breaking them off.

Worried about the fat man's overthinking, Jiang Cheng changed the topic at the right time. The two of them walked and talked, and asked some passers-by, and finally came to the west of the city and found the place called Wujia Lane.

After arriving, Jiang Cheng and Fatty realized that although Wujia Lane sounded like an alley, it was actually more like a slum. The environment here was very poor, and the structure of the houses and streets was also problematic. In short, the people inside were very mixed, from all walks of life. Jiangcheng found an unkempt beggar at the corner. No one in this place had better information than the beggar.

Jiang Cheng knelt down, took out a few coins and threw them into the beggar's broken bowl. They made a tinkling sound. The beggar, who had been leaning against the wall and sleeping just now, immediately woke up. Then he grabbed the coins dirtyly and put them into his tattered clothes. Said, "Thank you for the reward, master! Thank you for the reward, master!"

When the beggar grabbed the last coin, Jiang Cheng calmly weighed the remaining dozen coins with his hands, making the beggar's eyes widen.

"I asked you a few questions. If you answer them correctly, these are all yours." Jiang Cheng glanced around and saw that no one was paying attention, and then said: "Do you know there is a man named Wu Yuhuan in Wujia Lane?"

The beggar stared straight at the copper plate. It was not until Jiang Cheng clenched his fists that the beggar finally looked at Jiang Cheng and said with some embarrassment: "I don't know about Wu Yuhuan, but I know that there is a girl named Wu Yujiao at the east end of the alley. She is a yellow flower." My daughter, she is so beautiful.

"Wu Yujiao..." Jiang Cheng nodded, "Okay, take us there."

The deeper he goes into the so-called Wujia Lane, the more Jiang Cheng has a deeper understanding of the poverty and hardship here. It is full of beggars, disabled people, sick people, and all kinds of unscrupulous small businessmen and hawkers, and there seems to be nothing here. The supervisor on the surface has been completely reduced to a gray area in the city.

After walking for a while, the beggar pointed with his hand and saw several dilapidated thatched houses not far away. They were simply surrounded by gravel and fences outside. Although they were low and dilapidated, they could be seen to be like a courtyard.

"This is it. Wu Yujiao's family lives here." The beggar accompanied the smiling face and wiped his dirty hands on his body several times before reaching out to catch the copper coins handed over by Jiang Cheng.

Seeing the coins lined up in the palm of his hand, the beggar was in a good mood and his eyes narrowed to a slit. He swallowed and looked at Jiang Cheng again, "Hey, sir, if you are also interested in this Wu Yujiao, that's an easy thing to do. She has a gambling father who has wanted to sell her for a long time. The price is clearly marked, 50 taels of silver. I know the price is not low, but the goods are good. She is definitely a yellow flower girl, with breasts If you have a big butt, you will definitely have a fat boy when you get married.”

Seeing that Jiang Cheng didn't speak, the beggar seemed to understand, and laughed again. He wiped the mucus from the corners of his mouth with the back of his relatively clean hands, stepped on his feet and looked at the thatched huts, "Is it possible that there is another person in the master's family?" Wife, is it inconvenient? Hehe, it doesn't matter. I just want to have a taste. This is easier. I'll help you discuss it. About 20 taels of silver is enough. His father can still look after you outside. , I also know that there is a herbalist in the north of the alley. The medicine he sells is so good that it lasts a night. I will give it to you for only 20 copper coins..."

Before he finished speaking, Jiang Cheng took out a few more copper coins and threw them directly on the ground instead of giving them to the beggar. "Shut your mouth and wait for me here."

The beggar didn't care about Jiang Cheng's sudden change of attitude. When he saw the copper coins on the ground, he immediately lay down on the ground and picked them up one by one, stuffing each one into the palm of his hand like a treasure.

Before they even approached the thatched house, a strong man came out holding an iron fork. The man was quite a bit older. He stared at Jiang Cheng and the fat man with a keen look on his face, and said fiercely: "Who are you? Give it to me. Leave far away!"

The man was missing an ear and three fingers. The scars were all cut with a knife. Jiang Cheng also knew some of the rules in the casino. It seemed that the man in front of him was Wu Yujiao's father, a gambler.

Not talking nonsense, Jiang Cheng directly took out a broken piece of silver and threw it into the man's arms. The man's eyes turned red when he saw the silver. He dropped the iron fork and caught the silver. Then, as if it was incredible, he put it in his mouth and bit it. Next, after confirming that it was real money, the eyes he looked at Jiang Cheng and Fatty were different, "Oh, you two are here to find my daughter, right? My daughter is a famous beauty from all over the country, this money... Hehe, it’s not enough.”

"Who are you, Wu Yuhuan?" Jiang Cheng was too lazy to say another word to such a person, so he got straight to the point.

Unexpectedly, after these words were spoken, the man's expression suddenly changed and he became extremely frightened, "You...how did you know that I have a daughter, Wu Yuhuan? You...you are from the Hou Mansion?"

After a few words, Jiang Cheng roughly understood the whole story. It turned out that the man had two daughters. The eldest daughter was Wu Yuhuan and the second daughter was named Wu Yujiao. Because the man was addicted to gambling and owed a lot of debt, he had to sell the daughter. His daughter had to pay off her gambling debt, and he only found out later that the buyer was the Zhennan Hou Mansion. But not long after, he received the news that his eldest daughter was dead, but he didn't know exactly how she died.

"Then what?" Jiang Cheng asked.

"Then I thought about asking the Hou Mansion if they wanted my second daughter, but not only did they not want me, they even beat me up. The leader also warned me that I should never kill someone in the Hou Mansion. Reveal it or you will look good on me.”

The man clutched the silver and said angrily: "By the way, I later found my eldest daughter's grave secretly, thinking that since she was from the Hou Mansion, there should be something valuable in the coffin, but who would want to find the grave?" It’s very clean inside, but the body is wrapped in a mat.”
