A Brothel Boy Chapter 1 Stranger in the Garden "Butterfly Love Flower" The flowers fade and the red and green apricots are small. When the swallows fly, the green water is surrounded by people.There are few willows blowing on the branches, and there are no fragrant grasses anywhere in the world. There are swings inside the wall and roads outside the wall, pedestrians outside the wall, and beautiful women inside the wall laugh.The laughter fades away, but the affectionate is ruthlessly annoyed. Su Shi In the early spring, the cold in the north has gone, the weather is sunny and warm, and flowers are in full bloom everywhere in the capital.At that time, it was the fifteenth year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty, and the newly established Emperor Sejong was in his prime in the Spring and Autumn Period.

In the afternoon of this day, in the courtyard of a high-walled house in the south of the capital city, there was a burst of the clear and clear laughter of the little daughter.It was two girls playing on a swing under the flower shed in the corner of the backyard, and their laughter echoed in the small courtyard full of flowers like a string of silver bells.The older girl was about eleven or twelve years old, wearing an embroidered vest and a light yellow pleated skirt; the younger one was only seven or eight years old, with a very beautiful face, two buns on her hair, and a peach red dress. Brocade small jacket, lined with a pair of water blue satin trousers and a pair of beaded peony embroidered shoes.The two girls were dressed luxuriously, and they were obviously daughters of officials and eunuchs.The young girl's name is Han'er, the only daughter of Zhou Mingdao, an academician; the older girl's name is Li Lingling, and she is Han'er's cousin.

But said that the two girls got tired of playing on the swing in the backyard for a while, Li Lingling suggested: "Han'er, let's play hide-and-seek, shall we?"Han'er clapped his hands and said yes, then stretched out his hands to cover his eyes, and said with a smile: "Cousin, hide first, I'll come to you."Go, go, I'll count to ten, and I'll catch you.Li Lingling smiled and said: Hey!Count slowly!Count slowly!I jumped off the swing in a hurry, stepped on my little feet, and went straight to the front yard. Han'er was blindfolded, still sitting on the swing, counting loudly to ten, put down his hand after counting, and said with a smile: I'm here to find you!There was a man in black in front of him, only five or six feet away from him.

Han'er froze in shock, opened his mouth wide, but couldn't make a sound.But seeing that it was a tall and thin man, holding a gleaming sword in one hand, and touching his chest with the other, he coughed twice, and spat out a mouthful of blood to the ground with a bah.But seeing him swaying and falling to the ground with a crash, crushing the two pots of orchids under the flower shed, he still rubbed his chest and coughed continuously.It was only then that Han'er noticed that the man had suffered several wounds, the black clothes were already soaked in blood, and the wounds on his shoulders and legs were still bleeding.She is a young daughter, where has she seen such a situation?Sitting on the swing is like a wooden sculpture made of clay, froze from fright, let alone making a sound.

At this moment, three figures appeared on the wall, and one of them shouted: "Here it is!"The three jumped down at the same time and surrounded the man in black, pointing their swords at the man in black.All three of them were wearing yellow brocade clothes, which Han'er recognized as the color of the royal palace guards.But I heard one of them say, "If you hide in Zhou University's scholar's mansion, don't we dare to chase in?"Another fat man said: "Hand over the things quickly!"If we are brothers, maybe we can spare your death. The man in black sneered, and said: Who calls you brother?I, Zheng Hanqing, have never paid attention to you, a dirty bastard like you!The fat man's face was full of fat, and he swung his knife to chop at the leg of the man in black.The man in black was lying on the ground, as if he couldn't even crawl, and could only be slaughtered.Unexpectedly, the fat man didn't slash with the saber, but he yelled, stepped back a few steps, stretched out his hand to press his left cheek, blood flowed from between his fingers, and cursed: Fuck it!Good boy!Somehow, the man in black cut his face with a sword.The other two shouted and cursed at the same time, their swords came together, and they chopped off the head of the man in black.The man in black didn't block the fight, but shouted: "The thing is not on me!"

When those two heard this, their swords stopped in the air together, not daring to cut them down.The man on the left asked: "Where did you hide?"Another person said: "This man is very cunning, he was captured alive and handed over to Chief Hong for interrogation." The man in black shook his head, with a miserable expression, and said, "Brother Wang, you want to arrest me and go back to work. It's business, so I won't blame you."But do you know what I took away?The one surnamed Wang hesitated slightly, and said: I don't know.All I know is that you stole important things from the palace.The man in black said: Didn't Manager Hong tell you?The one surnamed Wang said: No.

The man in black said slowly: He never told you, just because this thing is stolen from the palace by himself.Of course he didn't dare to say anything about it, so he only sent a few of your cronies out to secretly recover the thing.Once you know what I stole, Manager Hong will kill you to silence it.So I advise you two, it's better not to see that thing. The one surnamed Wang snorted and said: I am so loyal to Director Hong that I don't believe your nonsense!You guard yourself and steal yourself. As a guard in the palace, but you do such a thing, you are really shameless!The man in black sighed, turned to the other person, and said, "Brother Lin, do you trust me, or Director Hong?"The person surnamed Lin shook his head and said: "Zheng Hanqing, it's too late for you to say anything now."You escaped from the palace all the way, at least you killed a dozen palace guards.Even if you didn't steal anything, this bloody account is worth looking at.

The man in black sighed, "Since that's the case, I'll give you all the credit for this great achievement."Brother Lin, brother Wang, that thing is hidden in the hidden place. Those surnamed Lin and Wang lowered their heads, trying to hear his words clearly.The man in black jumped up suddenly, and his long sword drew a silver light in the air. The two men were hit by the sword in their throats, and blood spurted out. Their faces were terrified and inexplicable.When the round-faced fat man saw him, his face turned pale, he let out an exclamation, he turned around and fled.The man in black swung his right hand, and the long sword flew straight out, piercing the fat man's vest.The fat man leaned over and fell down, then crawled forward a few feet before he stopped moving.

The man in black sat on the ground panting continuously, breathing heavily.He tried his best to stand up, kicked the corpses of Lin and Wang into the grass in the corner of the yard, walked over slowly, drew out the long sword stuck in the fat man's vest, and kicked the fat man into the corner as well.Then he turned around and looked at Han'er who was sitting on the swing. Witnessing this bloody and bloody fight, Han'er was so frightened that he was dumbfounded, nailed to the spot as if caught in a nightmare, unable to move.But seeing the man in black walking towards him very slowly, every step he took had to use 12 points of strength, as if he would fall to the ground at any time, and he would never be able to get up again.Although he walked slowly and arduously, he finally came to Han'er, squatted down, and faced Han'er.Han'er saw that his face was covered with blood, his expression was ferocious, and his eyes shot at him like lightning, so he couldn't help but tremble all over his body.But what the man in black said was really beyond her expectation.

The man in black said: You are the eldest lady of the Zhou family, Miss Han'er?The tone was actually very gentle. Han'er didn't expect this stranger to know his name at all, he was so surprised that he didn't dare not answer, so he nodded. The man in black looked up at the sky with a solemn expression, as if he was thinking about something important.After a while, he sighed a long time, reached into his arms, and took out a small package, square and square, which looked like it contained a book.He handed the package to Han'er, then stroked his chest and coughed, which lasted for a while.His face became paler, and he panted and said: Tonight at midnight, an old lady and a little girl will come to the well in the backyard of your house.You handed the package to the aunt.His tone was stern, and these few words were orders, not pleading.Zhou Han'er listened blankly, neither answered nor reached out to pick it up, but she was so frightened that she didn't even know she was afraid.

The man in black said again: You tell that aunt to flee to Hushan immediately and seek the protection of the doctor and his wife.This package, this package and the letter inside must be handed over to the doctor.Do you hear me clearly?The last sentence raised his voice, Han'er was taken aback, and nodded quickly. The man in black said again: What you saw just now, and my entrustment, you can't tell your parents, or anyone else, except for that aunt.Only by listening to me can your parents and family be safe.If you leak half a sentence, your family will be destroyed in a blink of an eye!Remember, at midnight tonight, you must give the things to them.If you don't do what I say, I will become a ghost after I die, and I will come to you too!When he spoke, his voice was sharp.Han'er's face turned pale, tears were already rolling in his eyes, at this moment, with an ah, he finally cried out. The man in black calmed down, put the package into her arms, and said softly: Good boy, you must be obedient.This matter is very urgent, very urgent.You listen to me and hand over things to them tonight.You can't tell anyone about these things just now!No one can tell!Got it? He stared at Han'er, watched her nod while crying, then smiled, turned around and walked slowly, step by step, came to the wall, then turned his head again, and said, "Please tell that girl." , This thing must not be looked at before she is twenty years old.Besides, let's talk about Daddy's gone, I want her to remember that she will always be Daddy's most beloved baby, forever, ever, and forever after finishing these few words, her voice choked, her body trembled, she knelt down on the ground, and threw herself forward , disappeared behind the flowers. Han'er just sat on the swing, not moving for a long time, as if thinking that he would wake up from this nightmare eventually, and found that it was just a dream, not real.After another half an hour, a gentle breeze blew by, and Han'er felt a chill down his back, but he broke out in a cold sweat.Suddenly a person behind him shouted: "Han'er!Haner!Why don't you come to me?Han'er was startled, and looked back, only to see her cousin walking towards her in a haughty manner.It turned out that Li Lingling had been hiding in the front yard for a long time, but Han'er didn't come to look for her, so she finally came out to look for her and saw her sitting on the swing in a daze, she was very annoyed, and was about to step forward to question her, but Han'er's face was as pale as paper , couldn't help being startled, and asked: Han'er, what's the matter with you? Han'er came back to his senses and said: "My voice is hoarse, I can't speak."She swallowed a mouthful of saliva, jumped off the swing, did not know where the courage came from, and suddenly took her cousin's hand and walked towards the flower bush where the man in black disappeared just now.But seeing bloodstains on the flagstone floor behind the flowers, the man in black was nowhere to be found.At this time the sky was getting dark, Li Lingling didn't notice the bloodstains, but felt that the place was gloomy, she felt hairy, and said: "Han'er, let's go back to the house."Han'er was suspicious, looked down at the package in his arms, remembered that there were three dead bodies lying in the corner of the yard, couldn't help becoming more frightened, and hurriedly followed his cousin back into the house.
