Chapter 120 The Long-planned Conspiracy 1
"My lord, just let Hui'er eat it by himself!" Jiang Hui asked for the bowl of porridge, and lowered her head to eat with a spoon.

Master Shen didn't say anything, but looked tenderly at Jiang Hui eating porridge.

There is only an old man and a 13-year-old child living in this family. I don't know whether these two people are grandpa or father-son. They rarely communicate with each other and only know how to do things honestly.

The old man took the bundles of dry wood outside the door back to the yard, and the children chopped the bundles of wood into pieces.

When Jiang Hui looked curious and was about to go up to ask questions, Mr. Shen told Jiang Hui that the old man was deaf and dumb, and the child was mentally retarded. The two were not related by blood. They were both orphans. Put the two of them here.Jiang Hui firmly believed in Mr. Shen's words.

Jiang Hui knew that if the officials under the Emperor Jiang were the most respected and loved by the people of Jiangcheng, only Mr. Shen was the one.When Jiang City was captured, the Emperor of Jiang ordered the massacre of the city. It was Mr. Shen who persuaded the Emperor of Jiang so that the people of Jiang City had to survive.

The Emperor Jiang was a well-known tyrant. He never showed mercy to the people or officials who resisted his dictatorship and refused to submit to him, and the means of punishing these people were extremely cruel.In the court, only Master Shen dared to persuade Emperor Jiang to let go of tyranny, and proposed to Emperor Jiang to oppose suppression and rule the country with benevolence. In the end, Emperor Jiang did not accept Master Shen's proposal, but he also had a reaction to his own tyranny.

What made Jiang Hui believe in Mr. Shen's words most was that Mr. Shen was an orphan, so he sympathized with orphans the most and would adopt many orphans.Most of Mr. Shen's subordinates are orphans he adopted.

Jiang Hui also went to help the old man when she was bored, moving bundles of dry wood into the yard.At first Master Shen wanted to stop Jiang Hui from doing these menial tasks, but after thinking about it, he also went to do some work.Mr. Shen chopped up the dry wood that Jiang Hui brought in, and Jiang Hui piled up the whole piece of dry wood that Mr. Shen had chopped up. The two of them worked very well.

This made the old man and the child feel uneasy, since the two of them had to do the work, so it wasn't that he didn't have work to do, so he could only watch in a daze.Mr. Shen made a series of sign language for the old man.Jiang Hui couldn't understand the meaning of these sign languages. In fact, Shen Da told the old and the young to go to rest or do other work. To put it bluntly, he wanted them to avoid them and not bother him to pick up girls.

The old and the young dared not rest, so they went to the firewood room and took out a chopping knife, a bow, and a shoulder pole and went out.

"Hey, why are the old and the young going?" Jiang Hui asked, looking at the backs of the old man and the child.

"The two of you went up the mountain to chop firewood, and brought back some wild game." Mr. Shen replied.

The old and the young left, and the work was done, only Jiang Hui and Master Shen were left in Ruo Da's yard.

People who met only ten years ago should have something to talk to. Facing Mr. Shen who always cast affectionate eyes on her, Jiang Hui seemed unnatural.Jiang Hui's mind is desperately thinking about how to resolve this awkward atmosphere.

"My lord, do you have a home?" Jiang Hui asked intentionally.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Hui would ask herself so directly, Mr. Shen froze for a moment, retracted the gaze that was cast on Jiang Hui, and returned to Shi Lai's melancholy. "No, my lord is still alone."

"Then, why doesn't your lord consider Sister Butterfly?" Jiang Hui asked again.

"Butterfly? My lord and Butterfly are just masters and servants. Don't tell me Jiang Hui thinks that what you don't like is..." Before Master Shen finished speaking, Jiang Hui rushed to talk: "Hehe, Huier actually thinks that Sister Butterfly is quite suitable for an adult. Sister Butterfly is so careful and beautiful."

Mr. Shen heard what Jiang Huier meant, and he was indirectly rejecting himself.Mr. Shen lowered his eyes slightly, and covered his chest with his hands, looking very tired. "Your Excellency is a little tired, let's go back to the room for a rest!" After speaking, Master Shen looked silent, put down the hatchet in his hand and returned to the room.

"My lord, let Hui'er help you into the house!"

When Mr. Shen was chopping, Jiang Hui noticed that Mr. Shen was full of blood, short of breath, and looked very tired. Jiang Hui even wiped the sweat from Mr. Shen's forehead with her handkerchief.

"Master Shen didn't respond to me when I heard it clearly, maybe he was angry with me!"

Jiang Hui looked at Mrs. Shen's lonely back, and felt a pain in her chest, it was a debt!
Jiang Hui wanted to move some dry firewood chopped by Master Shen to the kitchen, but Jiang Hui didn't know where the kitchen was, so she turned left along the corridor and came to a dark hut.Probably this room is the kitchen, because there is a stove in the house.

Jiang Hui entered the house holding dry logs. "Strange, is this kitchen a kitchen?"

The walls of the house were wrapped with red silk and satin, and the house was cleaned very cleanly. It can be said that it was spotless.

Jiang Hui didn't care whether it was a stove or not, and put the dry wood she brought into the stove to burn. When it was thick and thick, Jiang Hui realized that the stove had no chimney, no wonder no one was cooking here.

Mr. Shen closed his eyes and rested in the room, when he suddenly smelled the smell of fireworks, he ran out in a panic, and saw thick smoke billowing from the stove on the left.

Lord Shen hurriedly asked: "Hui'er, what are you doing?"

"I, I'm lighting a fire. Hui'er wants to boil some water and make a pot of tea for your lord." Jiang Hui replied with a smile.

Butterfly walked in a hurry when she went out, and didn't even prepare tea for Mr. Shen.Jiang Hui thought Mr. Shen was dry mouthed, so she wanted to boil some water and make a pot of tea for Mr. Shen, so as to relieve some guilt.

"My lord is not thirsty, put out the fire soon."

Master Shen didn't wait for Jiang Hui to make a move, so he hurriedly fetched a spoonful of water and put out the fire in the stove!

Jiang Hui stared in amazement, wondering why she was so flustered.

"My lord, why can't there be a fire? How can we cook without a fire on the stove? What shall we eat that night?"

"This is a stove and no fire is allowed. You have to cook in the kitchen on the right. There is a stove for cooking." Mr. Shen replied.

"Turn right and smell the kitchen. Isn't this hut a kitchen?" Jiang Hui glanced around the room again, suddenly a sinister energy came over her.

Mr. Shen held Jiang Hui with one hand, and quickly walked out of the gloomy room. He walked to the kitchen on the right, pointed to the stove, and said, "This stove can only light a fire."

"My lord, why can't the stove just now make a fire?"

Mr. Shen's strange behavior reminded Jiang Hui of the disappearance of the middle-aged man.

"That's not a stove, it's a Dharma altar, and it was built to look like a stove to expose people's eyes and ears."

Mr. Shen knew that he couldn't hide it from Jiang Hui, so he took Jiang Hui back to the room just now, and pressed the mechanism hidden in the stove, and the stove was retracted instantly, and an altar table was lifted out.In the center of the altar table is a frightening statue of Yaksha, with incense burners, offering plates, candlesticks, ghost sticks, and flags on both sides.

If Jiang Hui hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn't have believed it. In the blink of an eye, the stove had turned into a dreadful altar.

Jiang Hui's back felt chills, and she asked in a trembling voice, "My lord, what is the purpose of setting up a Buddhist altar?"

In order to dispel Jiang Hui's doubts, Mr. Shen turned to Jiang Hui with a calm expression: "Our big witch, every family has a magic altar. As the leader of the big witch, I often have to practice things. Why is it wrong to set up a magic altar here? ?”

Indeed, the Wu family is famous for its witchcraft. It is the most common thing to set up a magic altar at home. Mr. Shen is the leader of the Wu family, so it is not necessary to set up a magic altar here. I will definitely not have any harmful conspiracy.In fact, the altar is not necessarily set up to harm people, but in many cases, it is used by the witch family to practice witchcraft. Jiang Hui let go of her doubts after thinking about it.
