Chapter 98

Seeing that Song Renqiang seemed really angry, Li Chunfeng didn't dare to talk back anymore, but honestly apologized and admitted his mistake.

Song Renqiang was still angry.

"Let me tell you, if it weren't for the fateful friendship between me and your father back then, I wouldn't have worked so hard to support you. During this period of time, please be honest with me, especially to build a good relationship with Commander Zhao. Listen Do you understand?"

"Yes, yes, I understand, don't worry godfather!"

Under Li Chunfeng's repeated assurances, Song Renqiang left.

After he left, Li Chunfeng was so angry that he had nowhere to vent, and he turned his finger on Zhao Ya.

"Damn it, it's all because of you, Zhao, who got me slapped. Just wait and see, I will step on you sooner or later, and then even your little bitch will be mine!"

Li Chunfeng cursed and said harsh words, and then left.

But how did he know that as soon as he left, Zhao Ya appeared from behind a bush of flowers.

He heard all the conversation between Song Renqiang and Li Chunfeng just now, including Li Chunfeng's last sternness. He also heard it clearly.

This Song Renqiang is quite aware of the overall situation, but is this Li Chunfeng....

Calling him a piece of shit would be flattering him.

Zhao Ya took a deep look at the direction Li Chunfeng was leaving, and then quietly hid among the flowers.

into the night.

Li Chunfeng, who got drunk with a few cronies, staggered towards his residence.

"Stretch, babble, hand, touch my sister's head, the scent of sweet-scented osmanthus on my sister's head..."

Li Chunfeng hummed and sang Shibamo, but in his head he was thinking about which girl he should go to tonight.

Do you want to try again with that Xia Hongyu?

It's been so long, maybe the guy who secretly attacked him has forgotten about it.

The more Li Chunfeng thought about it, the more reliable he felt, and he involuntarily turned to the direction of Huanyifang.

There is a large pond next to the clothing workshop, and the dirty water after washing clothes is poured into it, and even the water for washing toilets is also poured into it. In summer, it can be said to be very stinky.

Even though it is the twelfth lunar month of winter, the water inside will still not freeze, and you can still smell the pungent smell when you get close.

It was dark when Li Chunfeng walked to the pond, and he began to think about how to get that Xia Hongyu out.

At this moment, someone suddenly patted his shoulder.

Li Chunfeng was startled, looked back and found Zhao Ya standing behind him.

"Zhao... Commander Zhao, why are you here?" Li Chunfeng suppressed the panic in his heart and forced a smile.

"Oh, I just passed by here and saw you standing here, so I came over to say hello." Zhao Ya smiled.

"It's just that you are still not sleeping so late, what are you doing wandering around this Yifangfang?"

"Oh, I just drank too much and went the wrong way, so I'm going back!" Li Chunfeng explained, turning his head and leaving.

"Did I go the wrong way, or did I come here to find someone?" Zhao Ya said lightly.

"Huh? Commander Zhao, what are you talking about?" Li Chunfeng was puzzled.

Zhao Ya chuckled lightly, and said in a playful tone, "I guess, you are here to find Xia Hongyu!"

Li Chunfeng's face instantly turned pale as if struck by lightning.

"That...that night...."

"That's right, that person was me that night!"

Li Chunfeng felt the hairs all over his body stand on end in an instant, and he woke up from the drunkenness, and turned around and wanted to run.

But it was too late, Zhao Ya grabbed his neck from behind, choking his cries in his throat.

Li Chunfeng was originally weak, but now that he was hollowed out by wine, how could he be Zhao Ya's opponent.

In addition to his short stature, Zhao Ya carried him to the pond like a chicken.

Li Chunfeng immediately understood what was waiting for his fate, so he struggled with horror on his face.

"To tell you the truth, if you listened to your godfather and never committed any crimes again, I might not kill you. It's a pity that you can't live with your own crimes, and you can't blame others for it."

As he spoke, Zhao Ya grabbed Li Chunfeng's neck with one hand, took out a small bottle with the other hand, and poured all the medicine in the bottle into Li Chunfeng's mouth.

Li Chunfeng struggled hard, but how could he be Zhao Ya's opponent.

Half of a bottle of medicine was gone, and then Li Chunfeng felt dizzy, his whole body was limp, and he didn't have any strength left.

"How is it? This feels very familiar." Zhao Ya said lightly.

Li Chunfeng was full of despair.

This feeling is really familiar to him, because he often uses sweat medicine to deal with women who refuse to submit.

But he didn't expect that he would end up like this in the end.

Seeing that Li Chunfeng was completely exhausted, Zhao Ya let go of his hand.

thump!
Water splashes everywhere.

Li Chunfeng wanted to struggle, but he couldn't use any strength in his body, and he couldn't even call for help, so he could only let the cold water slowly submerge him.

And the last scene he saw was Zhao Ya standing on the shore and smiling.

At this time Li Chunfeng finally felt regretful.

I should listen to my godfather and build a good relationship with this Zhao Ya.

But it's too late to say anything now.

The water in the pool soon completely submerged him.

Zhao Ya did not leave in a hurry, but waited calmly on the bank, counting silently in his heart.

One, two....

Finally, when the count was almost sixty, many blisters appeared on the pool water, but after only a minute or so, these blisters disappeared.

After a while, Li Chunfeng's body slowly floated to the surface of the water.

After confirming that he couldn't die any more, Zhao Ya turned his head and glanced at the Huanyifang in the distance.

At this time, the lights in the Huanyifang are still on.

Those who stay here are all the lowest-level servants of the Song family, who are responsible for washing and cleaning all the clothes in the whole house.

Because of the heavy workload, I often work overtime at night.

Presumably that Xia Hongyu is also busy at this time.

But Zhao Ya just glanced at it, then turned and left.

To him, killing this Li Chunfeng was no different from killing a chicken.

If it wasn't for the purpose of deceiving others, Zhao Ya would have done it directly on the small road during the day.

Now that the matter was completed, Zhao Ya also had a heartache, and walked briskly away from the night watchman Zhuang Ding, and went home to sleep.

It was just dawn, and Xia Hongyu was about to get up and get busy.

This is her habit, no matter how late she was busy last night, she would get up on time in the morning.

Because only in this way can I wash more clothes, earn more money, and buy more medicine.

Because of this habit, she was dubbed "crazy for money" by the female workers who worked together, and even ridiculed.

But Xia Hongyu never argues, just works silently.

Sometimes even the mother-in-law in charge couldn't stand it anymore, so she would say a few words for her.

Over time, she was isolated by all the female workers.

But this is exactly what Xia Hongyu expected.

She doesn't want to have contact with anyone.

Especially the last time, because I believed the words of a female worker in the same room, I went shopping with her, but was drugged by Li Chunfeng without knowing it.

If it wasn't for being rescued by that masked hero, he would have died by now.

Because of this, Xia Hongyu became more and more wary.

Today, she lowered her head to wash clothes as usual, when she suddenly heard a commotion outside, and then a female worker shouted loudly.

"Someone is drowning!"

"My God, it looks like a man!"

Hearing the shout, Xia Hongyu raised her head and looked out of the courtyard with some doubts.

The pond outside the courtyard was really dangerous, and she had to be very careful even when she went to dump the dirty water.

But except for the laundry girls like myself, no one would approach this pond on weekdays.

Especially a man.

Xia Hongyu hesitated for a moment, put down her work, and followed the crowd to the pool.

At this time, Li Chunfeng's body had been hooked to the shore with a pole.

Even though her face was a little swollen after soaking in the pond all night, Xia Hongyu recognized Li Chunfeng at a glance.

The shadow of what happened that night was so great that she still has nightmares until now.

But now the villain who coveted him is dead, in a pond not far from his work.

It is conceivable that he must have come here last night.

Then what is he doing here in the middle of the night?
Xia Hongyu felt cold all over her body, and couldn't stop shivering.

Because Xia Hongyu knew very well that if this Li Chunfeng hadn't been drowned, something would happen to her last night.

Thankfully, no matter whether he fell into the water or was killed, he finally died.

Xia Hongyu murmured silently in her heart.

At the same time, Song Renqiang also arrived upon hearing the news.

When he saw Li Chunfeng's swollen corpse, his expression turned extremely ugly.

Although Song Renqiang would sometimes be angry with himself as a godson, but after all, he is the descendant of a close friend, so he still has a lot of affection.

But I didn't expect that yesterday was fine, and the yin and yang were separated overnight.

"What's going on?" He asked a Zhuang Ding who was examining the corpse.

"When I went back to the butler, I didn't find any suspicious injuries on Chief Li's body. Judging from the traces at the scene, it should be a moment of carelessness and fell into the water."

Song Renqiang remained silent with a gloomy face, and suddenly turned his head to look at the women workers not far away.

"You are the closest here, did you hear any noise last night?"

"Back... to the butler, we didn't hear anything last night!" A bold female worker responded tremblingly.

Song Renqiang frowned, his eyes flicked over the faces of each female worker.

Fortunately, others said that although they were afraid, they had no other thoughts.

Only Xia Hongyu had many things hidden in her heart, so when Song Renqiang looked at her with sharp eyes, her face instantly turned pale.

Such abnormalities naturally caught Song Renqiang's attention.

In fact, he was also a little surprised why Li Chunfeng came here in the middle of the night without sleeping.

But when he saw Xia Hongyu's simple clothes and no makeup, but she couldn't hide her beauty, Song Renqiang couldn't help but understand.

The fact that his godson came here must have something to do with this woman.

However, Song Renqiang is so old and hot, he didn't show any abnormality at that time, but turned his head and asked: "Who was drinking with Chunfeng last night?"

Several Zhuang Ding stood up tremblingly.

"When you guys are drinking, is there anything unusual about the spring breeze?"

"No... nothing unusual!" one of them said.

"No, didn't leader Li mutter when he was drinking last night that he didn't like Zhao Ya, and he would definitely get rid of him if he had the chance..." said a Zhuang Ding next to him.

Song Renqiang's heart skipped a beat when he heard the words, and he let out a loud shout.

"Bullshit!"

Then he rushed forward and slapped Zhuang Ding across the face.

"Can you call the name Zhao Ya, and Commander Zhao has a good relationship with my father and son, and Chunfeng admires him very much. How can you say such a thing? I think you are purely confounding right and wrong."

This Zhuang Ding was so frightened that he stood there with his hands on his cheeks.

Suddenly, an unspeakable fear emerged in Song Renqiang's heart.

Because Zhuang Ding's words reminded him.

If... Li Chunfeng was really killed by Zhao Ya, then the next step is to deal with me?

The reason why Song Renqiang was so attentive to Zhao Ya these days, even to the point of flattery, was because he had a strong sense of crisis.

You must know that Zhao Ya was recruited by Tan Ziwang himself to enter the mansion, and now that he is soaring, it also means that Tan Ziwang, who has been suppressed by him before, will have hope to make further progress.

That was not what Song Renqiang wanted to see.

But who would it be if not him?
Song Renqiang's heart was in a mess.

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion in the crowd, and then Zhao Ya and Tan Ziwang separated from the crowd and came over.

Seeing the corpse on the ground, Zhao Ya couldn't help being surprised and said, "Isn't this Chief Li? What's going on?"

Seeing the two of them coming, Song Renqiang felt more and more uneasy.

At this time, the death of his godson had long been forgotten by him, and all that was left was fear.

But he still pretended to be sad.

"That's right, it's that kid Chunfeng. He came here after drinking for some reason last night. He fell into the water drunk and ended up like this."

Song Renqiang took the initiative to characterize the incident as drunk and fell into the water, and then carefully observed Zhao Ya's reaction.

But he was disappointed.

Apart from shock on Zhao Ya's face, he found nothing.

On the contrary, Tan Ziwang sighed when he saw this.

"I had already reacted that this pond was dangerous, but no one cared, and finally something happened."

If it was normal, Song Renqiang would definitely argue with Tan Ziwang, but now he is not in that mood either.

"People cannot be brought back to life after death, Steward Song, please don't worry too much." Zhao Ya comforted.

This was a very common comforting word, but Xia Hongyu in the crowd was shocked when she heard it, and then looked at Zhao Ya in great surprise.

That night, before the masked hero left, he also said to himself not to worry about these four words.

No matter the tone or voice, they are all so similar.

Could it be... is it him?
Xia Hongyu's heart was overwhelmed.

"Thank you Commander Zhao for your comfort, but how can I not be sad, old man! Sigh."

Song Renqiang sighed, wiped away the non-existent tears, and asked people to collect Li Chunfeng's body, and staggered away.

After he left, Zhao Ya glanced at the female workers not far away and smiled slightly.

"Hurry up and leave, too."

After saying that, Zhao Ya also left.

After he left, these female workers got together excitedly to discuss.

"Wow, this guard commander is so young!"

"I heard that he repelled a group of bandits and rescued the eldest lady by himself. He is really amazing."

"He looks so handsome, and he even smiled at me!"

"Stop dreaming, that's laughing at me!"

Amidst the discussion, Xia Hongyu gradually regained her composure, then turned around silently and went back to continue her work.

It's just that Xia Hongyu is always a little absent-minded due to the busy day.

evening.

After dinner, Xia Hongyu didn't continue to work, but asked her mother-in-law for leave.

The mother-in-law in charge liked her quite a lot.

After all, Xia Hongyu works diligently on weekdays and never picks and chooses. Who doesn't like such a worker.

So after asking a few simple words, the mother-in-law in charge gave her a pass.

The rules of the Song family are very strict, and the servants must have a pass if they want to go in and out.

Xia Hongyu took the pass and came to the rear corner door, this is where hired lower-level people like Xia Hongyu usually go in and out.

The guards in front of the door knew her, and after glancing at the traffic sign, they kindly reminded her.

"Try to come back as soon as possible, it's not peaceful outside now."

Xia Hongyu nodded gratefully, and then left the Song family.

She first went to the pharmacy to buy some wound medicine with all the money she had on her body, and then walked out of the pharmacy under the helpless or sympathetic eyes of the pharmacy clerk.

After walking along the street for a while, Xia Hongyu turned into a small alley, then turned around and around, and finally came to the gate of a small courtyard.

The courtyard door was ajar, Xia Hongyu pushed the door open, and then an old voice came from the room.

"Is it ruby?"

"It's me, Grandpa!" Xia Hongyu agreed, opened the curtain and walked into the house.

The room was dark and filled with a strong stench.

Xia Hongyu lit the oil lamp.

A skinny old man was lying on the kang.

The old man's chest had several scars with deep visible bones, as if he had been scratched by some raptor.

Despite the cold weather, the wounds were infected and festered in the absence of medical treatment.

Xia Hongyu tidied up the house first, then changed the sheets and bedding for the old man, and then carefully took out a small bottle.

The bottle contained a bit of black ointment, and Xia Hongyu cherished it and spread the ointment on the old man's wound little by little.

But the wound is so big, how can this ointment be enough.

It's nothing more than a psychological comfort.

Seeing Xia Hongyu's obviously thin chin, the old man sighed and said, "My good boy, it's Grandpa who got me into trouble."

"Don't talk about Grandpa like that, I wouldn't be able to live without you." Xia Hongyu said very calmly.

Then she suddenly thought of something, and couldn't help asking: "Grandpa, do you know Changlong Escort Agency?"

"Changlong Escort Bureau? Why are you asking this?" the old man asked strangely.

"It's nothing, it's just that a member of the Changlong Escort Bureau joined the Song family during this period of time."

"Of course I know about the Changlong Escort. Speaking of which, Meng Lei, the chief escort, had a good relationship with me at the beginning. Sometimes if the escort is too big, they will call us. After all, our Jinsheng Escort was also in Wuxiang City at that time. A resounding name."

The old man showed a trace of nostalgia, and there seemed to be light in his eyes.

But soon the dazzle was extinguished, and the old man said in a low tone: "Unfortunately, none of them exist anymore, Jin Sheng is gone, and Changlong is also down. Except for a few of those old friends who took refuge in the Hong family, the rest Very few survived."

Xia Hongyu was silent.

The room was unusually quiet.

It wasn't until a while later that the old man recovered from his depressed state.

"What do you say is the name of the person who joined the Song family, and what is his cultivation level now?"

"His name is Zhao Ya. He seemed to be just a handyman in the Changlong Escort at the beginning, but now he has cultivated in the third realm. Not long after he joined the Song family, he was promoted to the commander of the guards."

Xia Hongyu told everything she knew about the situation, except for what happened that night.

In fact, she didn't know much about the three realms. Although she came from an escort family, her father thought that it was enough for a girl to learn some female celebrities, so she didn't teach her any martial arts.

When the Hong family made a bold move and the Escort experienced major changes, her parents both died in battle, and she escaped only by relying on her grandfather Xia Feiying to protect her with all her might.

But because of this, Xia Feiying was seriously injured and was half paralyzed on the bed.

After listening to his granddaughter's narration, Xia Feiying's eyes lit up.

"Oh? You said that this person is already a warrior of the three realms before he is full?"
