Chapter 518 A Pack of Chestnuts

Bo Xiao was very disgusted with Tan Zhou's words, but he had to admit that what he said made sense.

Probably because Tan Zhou himself is a self-interested and ruthless person, so he always sees the evil of human nature very clearly.

Bo Xiao didn't want to continue discussing this issue with Tan Zhou at all. He frowned lightly and said, "What does this have to do with you hiding here?"

Tan Zhoudao: "When disasters come from heaven, people's hearts are the most pious.

Don't dare to be impious, but have to be pious.

Maybe the people in Chuzhou City have forgotten the hundreds of monks who died fighting for them, but they still hope that the Lianye Temple will save them again with the will of heaven like it did 14 years ago.

At that time, the Lotus Leaf Temple was the most sacred place in their hearts and the most pious belief. "

Who would think to go to the sacred place to spy on the traces of fugitives?

"They can't think of it, but Chang Qianfo can." Bo Xiao said, "Chang Qianfo is not from Chuzhou."

Tan Zhou said with a smile: "Because he is not from Chuzhou, he may not have even heard of the Lotus Leaf Temple. The Lotus Leaf Temple was destroyed too early, and Chang Qianfo is too young."

Tan Zhou's words were not without reason.It may be too young for Chang Qianfo to know about the Lotus Leaf Temple. Even if he knew, given his age and experience, he might not be able to think about such a dark level.

Tan Zhou's smile made Bo Xiao shudder—less than an hour ago, his younger brother Tan Lang, who was also his only living relative, had just been killed.

The meditation room only heard the sound of hammers beating plowshares.

Bo Xiao was silent for a long time, then suddenly said: "Old Tan, tell me the truth. Were you behind the fire at Huairen Hall?"

"What do you think?" Tan Zhou raised his head, looked at Bo Xiao with a half-smile, then lowered his head, the hammer clanging, and continued to hit the plowshare.The ear-piercing sound reverberated round and round, sinking into the tall grass outside the meditation room.

"It's not me, it's Xu Younan."

Far away from the Lotus Leaf Temple, standing on the rainy street with hurried pedestrians, Bo Xiao was still thinking about Tan Zhou's words.

"Why did Xu Younan send Mu Dianke to Huairen Hall at the risk of angering Jin Yanchen?

Just so that one day, I can get rid of me with the help of Chang Jiabao.

The cause of Huairentang's fire is unknown, there is no evidence, and there is no point, but Chang Qianfo's heart has been deviated. "

This is a smart man's game.

Bo Xiao is also smart, but compared to people like Tan Zhou and Xu Younan who are so sophisticated and refined, they are obviously too young.

In this confusing chess game, he couldn't see the direction, and he didn't know who to trust.

He believes that no one matters.

Once there is a confrontation between Changjiabao and the Mumen, he will have no choice but to side with the Mumen.

Just like Tan Zhou and Gui Ruotong, no matter who is right or wrong, he will firmly support Gui Ruotong.

Bo Xiao pulled down the eaves of the hat and walked towards Jiangjun Street.

The crowd of onlookers had dispersed.From across the street, you can see all the way into the second gate.

Tan Lang's body was still lying there, washed away by the rain.

There is a saying that the dead are the greatest, and it is safe to be buried in the ground.

Chang Jiabao, who was always kind, showed unusual cruelty this time.

After Chang Qianfo left, the iron guards still strictly guarded all the exits of the pool house, not letting anyone in or out.Under the pressure of death, no one even dared to move Tan Lang's body indoors.

Not long after, people from the governor's mansion took Tan Lang's wife and eleven concubines away.

All the thugs under Tan Lang's subordinates, including the servants and maids in Tan's house, were all taken away and put in prison, and no one escaped.

The iron guards withdrew, but it was hard to guarantee that Ming Palace did not leave anyone to follow.Bo Xiao couldn't come forward by himself, so he gave an ingot of gold to the owner of a coffin shop, and asked him to bring a few people to take Tan Lang into the coffin.

At that time, he brought a knife into the store, intending to lure and intimidate him, forgive the boss for not daring to bully him, something must have happened in between.

Diagonally opposite Tan's house is a gold and silver shop with a bright storefront.

Bo Xiao trotted a few steps, pretending to hide from the rain at the door of the shop.After stopping for a while, he took off the bamboo hat and walked in casually.

The owner of the store is a woman in her forties, with fine crow's feet already on the corners of her eyes, but she is well-dressed and exquisitely dressed, and she still has a bit of charm.

Greeted enthusiastically: "Young master, I want to buy some jewelry for my wife. It just so happens that there is a new batch of good products in the shop, do you want to take a look at it?"

Seeing Bo Xiao nodding, he smiled again: "My lord, do you want to see the gold and silver bracelets, or the earring chain, or what you wear on your head?"

Bo Xiao wasn't serious about shopping, so he smiled and said, "Let's take a look."

The proprietress smiled and turned around to give some instructions. After a while, a waiter brought three boxes of head jewelry and spread them out in front of Bo Xiao.

The rectangular box of red lacquered wood is neatly filled with hairpins and hairpins of various styles and textures, jade bracelets and other things.

Bo Xiao didn't know anything and was dizzy.The proprietress introduced enthusiastically, Bo Xiao pretended to be very interested and echoed, picking and choosing from time to time, as for the tricks that the proprietress said, he didn't listen to a word.

Thinking carefully about the styles of hairpins that Meng Xiangyi usually wears, she picked out a hairpin with a similar shape and two pairs of bracelets, and asked someone to wrap them up.

After paying the money, Zheshen pretended to see the situation on the other side, and said with surprise: "The door on the other side...was someone demolished?"

The proprietress smiled and said, "Isn't the young master a local?"

Bo Xiao smiled and said, "I'm from Gansu, where the land is poor and the land is so barren that I can't even grow wheat. I went to the south of the Yangtze River to do a small business to make ends meet. No, I won't be able to get out if I catch the plague."

"That's no wonder." The proprietress said: "The family on the opposite side is surnamed Tan. The owner committed a crime, and the whole family was arrested by the government and thrown into a prison. The door was also demolished by the Qiu family."

"Hey!" Bo Xiao said in amazement: "The whole family has been arrested, what a crime it must be."

He narrowed his eyes and looked in, and said, "I see there is someone in there—"

A gleam flashed in the proprietress's eyes, and she said with a smile: "It was the owner surnamed Tan who was killed by the Qiu family. There was no one to help collect the body. Just two quarters ago, a small coffin shop owner came to carry the coffin, and wanted to take him away. He died, and asked the people around him to call him back. It is also because he did too many immoral things in normal times, and he committed public anger and suffered retribution."

At this time, the rain outside the door was a little lighter, and the store clerk brought the wrapped jewelry, Bo Xiao took it and said thank you, and didn't stay for a while, grabbed the bamboo hat and went out.

The proprietress behind her didn't know what she was whispering to the guy.The guy yelled to stop, chased up from behind, handed an oiled paper package to him, blinked and said with a smile: "The proprietress gave it to you."

Bo Xiao turned back and saw the proprietress was pursing her lips and smiling at him, with a charming appearance, and he was not a thin-skinned person, so he grabbed the paper bag and waved it, smiled back, and walked into the rain.

The kraft paper still exudes warmth, and the grains of it touch your hands, and a sweet smell overflows from the cracks in the paper.

It is a package of fried chestnuts.

Bo Xiao smiled, and was about to put the paper bag into her bosom, when suddenly her heart trembled, and she suddenly turned her head away.

The gold and silver shops that were originally open to accept customers have quietly closed their doors at some point.

He first met Mu Dianke because she always liked to buy chestnuts in the alley where he lived.

Bo Xiao tore open the kraft paper bag in his hand, and chestnuts that were plump and glistening with sugar jumped out of the crack, fell to the ground, and bounced away.A long and narrow piece of paper flew out of it, Bo Xiao reached out and grabbed it, holding it in his hand.

The majestic and powerful handwriting is just like the little girl he saw in Tianjiu Alley back then, confident, flying, and full of pride.

——Tomorrow at Chenshi, Yuhuatai.
