Chapter 531 Listen to my explanation
Feelings are not blind! ? ?
Lin Huiru only felt that the blood choked in her throat was about to be spit out. This men's building is really quite complete. She moved the stool, and quickly retreated to Wan Jiaojiao's side. She doesn't have any special hobbies, she only has a unique love for Xu Ziqiao, and the world can learn from it.
"Miss Wan, you may have misunderstood something. I'm not good at this, really." While speaking, Lin Huiru was about to cry. ââUnexpectedly
, Wan Jiaojiao thought wrongly on purpose. She spat out the lychee cores in her mouth and clapped her hands, "What about your specialties? Miss doesn't like it. You guys won't have anything to eat today."
, Lin Huiru felt that there was a personal wall in front of him. Looking up, it was the sullen man in black, who was leaning against the wall behind her with one hand at the moment, his brows were full of affection, "Girl, don't make such a sad expression, here I am, You are not allowed to be sad."
These words were like a thunderbolt, making Lin Huiru sit there upright and fell into deep thought. The man in red also came over at this time, took Lin Huiru's hand and put it on his heart, "Beauty, my heart beats only for you, and seeing you so sad now, my heart can't breathe. "
Sister, sister, why don't you like me? Is there something wrong with me?" The baby boy looked very pitiful with tears in his eyes. Even the man in white, who didn't speak much, handed over a whip.
"That's enough, that's all, let's all start!" Lin Huiru's voice startled all four of them when he couldn't bear it any longer. She let out a long breath, and pointed with blue veins on her brows, "Isn't it worth the money, but I don't need it? If you are so pestered and want to find something to do, I will invite you to go and farm." The world please be
quiet When she came down, Wan Jiaojiao was dumbfounded. She poked Lin Huiru's arm cautiously, "Sister Xu, do you not like these? Or, we are going to pick and choose?" "No need
... ..." As soon as Lin Huiru finished speaking, the door was kicked open.
It was none other than Xu Ziqiao and Bai Qianyi who came. Suddenly, Lin Huiru had the feeling of being caught for doing something bad, while Xu Ziqiao looked at the scene of Wuli, his face darkened and he turned around and left.
"It's not what you see, listen to my explanation!" Lin Huiru hurriedly chased after her. Wan Jiaojiao who was behind her was still a little depressed because of the failure of the plan, but seeing them like this, the corners of her lips suddenly became twitchy. A successful smile.
In the teahouse two streets away, Lin Huiru persuaded Xu Ziqiao to sit down and drink some tea to relieve the fire.
"I really didn't expect that girl to bring me to this kind of place. I was just about to leave, and then you came." Lin Huiru shrugged, and the word helplessness was written on her face. She could understand Xu Ziqiao's feelings, if she opened the door and saw Xu Ziqiao and four disheveled women, she might faint on the spot.
Seeing Lin Huiru acting coquettishly, Xu Ziqiao lost most of her anger, "Ming told you to be on guard against that woman." "
Okay, don't be angry, I won't come out with her alone in the future." Lin Huiru drank Taking a sip of tea, he relieved the parched throat from pleading, "According to my guess, that girl is probably trying to empathize with me, and then sneaks in." "
Since she knew, she fucked her ." Did you?" Xu Ziqiao raised his eyebrows, and there was still some anger in his eyes.
"I..." Lin Huiru stammered, a little aggrieved, "I just realized it now. It seems that I can't underestimate this girl in the future. What about you, why did you go there suddenly?" Mentioning this, Xu Ziqiao
suddenly His expression became serious, "Something went wrong. When we were investigating this matter outside the city, we didn't know where the problem was. We met a group of people chasing us from outside the city to the inside of the city. They used it to kill us." Luckily, I managed to lure them away, and Qianyi and I were going to find a few single-handed ones to catch Shen Wenyifan, and we chased them there." "You mean,
that jewelry store might be the same as Is it related to chasing and killing your people?" Lin Huiru's expression became serious, and it is said that their news is well hidden, and there should be no one from the capital. "Could it be that we have acted too much recently, and those people want Are you looking for us to kill people?"
"In that case, Wan Hengtong should be killed together. Didn't Wan Hengtong say that he relied on his fame to make people sell himself? Since he is also investigating this matter, why are we the only ones being hunted down?" Xu Ziqiao asked back. road.
Now Lin Huiru also felt at a loss. This matter turned out to be like this, which was far beyond their expectations. "From this point of view, it is likely to be... a member of King Xiang? Or is our identity already exposed?"
"I have no way of knowing, but I have to be more careful in the future. It is best not to go out until I have a concrete prospect. Although Wan Hengtong wants to use you now, we live in Wan's house. I guess anyone who is interested can also inquire about it. Yes, if we reach a consensus from Wan Hengtong, we will be in a dangerous situation." Xu Ziqiao said, frowning unconsciously.
"I can't figure out where the news leaked. Now it seems that we can only respond to changes with the same." Lin Huiru took a long breath, took out silver and gave tea money.
Back at Wan's house, Wan Jiaojiao approached with a worried expression on her face, "Young master Lin, things are really not what you think, we really didn't do anything, just drank some tea and chatted there ..."
Before she could finish speaking, Lin Huiru waved her hand, "Okay, I've explained everything clearly. Don't bother Miss Wan." What Wan Jiaojiao was afraid of was
that she could make things clear. To be clear, isn't her money just wasted? She was disappointed, but she couldn't show it on her face, "That's good, don't let this matter affect the harmony between Sister Xu and Mr. Lin."
"Don't worry, the relationship between me and Xiaoru is very firm, and there will never be a rift because of this kind of thing. It's just that the security in Minzhou is not good recently, and Miss Wan should not go out with Xiaoru these two days. It's safest to bring it at home." After Xu Ziqiao finished speaking coldly, he pulled Lin Huiru back to the yard.
Although his attitude was cold, in Wan Jiaojiao's ears, the last words became words of concern, which made her happy for a long time.
Bai Qianyi followed closely without saying a word, and only said in a low voice after closing the door, "I think there is something wrong with Wanjia."
"Did you find anything? Tell me." Xu Ziqiao lifted his hem and sat down. He had long suspected that the Wan family must have some secrets, but because he didn't have any clues, even Bai Qianyi said so now, maybe Really found something useful.
Chapter 532
"I came back early after you left, just in time to see someone brought in by Wan Hengtong. It was still through the back door, which was extremely hidden. I wanted to eavesdrop, but there was no sound in the room. I opened a crack and found the room There is no one here." Bai Qianyi said and frowned, "Maybe there is a secret room in the house." "It is
possible." Lin Huiru nodded, rubbing his chin thoughtfully, "Although inquiring Other people's privacy is not good, but at this juncture, please keep an eye on him."
Xu Ziqiao put down the teacup, "Well, the big deal is not to interfere in matters that have nothing to do with us." "
Okay, then I will pay more attention to him these few days." Bai Qianyi responded, and suddenly put his finger on his lips.
somebody is coming.
"Knock, kowtow." Someone knocked on the door, and Wan Jiaojiao's voice came from outside, "Aren't you asleep? The servant made some white fungus and lotus seed porridge to clear your lungs. I'll bring it over for you.
" Her voice made Xu Ziqiao feel a little headache, he rubbed his brows and let out a sigh of relief.
Lin Huiru was also a little helpless, this is Xu Ziqiao's room, what it means to come here first is simple and clear, "Come in." Hearing her voice,
Wan Jiaojiao couldn't help being taken aback, opened the door and saw all three people were there. It looked like he was relieved.
Now that everyone is here, she still shows her hospitality to Lin Huiru, "Come on, sister Xu , our cook is really good." If he said something polite, he suddenly wondered if he might be drugged.
Wan Jiaojiao didn't see anyone and sat down, sitting next to Lin Huiru, but her eyes drifted uncontrollably to Xu Ziqiao, "You are all here, I thought you were all resting. Since you are outside It's not safe, how about playing in Fuchu? How about we push Pai Gow?"
Xu Ziqiao closed his eyes to rest, and closed his eyes to this kind of sneaky glances.
"I'm sorry, we don't know how to play Pai Gow. If Ms. Wan wants to play, it's better to invite some friends over." Lin Huiru smiled apologetically and made an excuse casually.
"It's actually quite simple. If Sister Xu wants to learn, I will teach you, and you will learn it soon." Wan Jiaojiao blinked, intending to continue entanglement, "Don't you drink porridge?" Because this diet is
safe Lin Huiru really didn't dare to let his guard down, especially when there was an unidentified person in the Wan family, "Miss Wan didn't know something, Qian Yi was cautious, I was allergic to tremella, and he was allergic to lotus seeds. Miss Wan doesn't have to worry about it."
"Ah?" Wan Jiaojiao's face suddenly collapsed, "Then what else do you want to eat, I'll send a copy to the kitchen."
Just when Lin Huiru was a little overwhelmed, Suddenly another maid came in outside, which relieved their urgent need. "Miss, the master is looking for you."
Seeing Wan Jiaojiao reluctantly leave, Lin Huiru also heaved a sigh of relief, and frowned at the porridge, "It's a pity, it smells quite delicious, we can still tell if it's poisonous or not." If you have some kind of perspiration medicine, you will be in trouble." "
If you want to drink, it's safe to go out and drink. Finish things early, and we'll go back to the capital early." Xu Ziqiao stroked Lin Huiru's back twice, and the relationship between the two The space has the posture of you and me.
Bai Qianyi coughed uncomfortably, turned around and walked out.
...
Wanjia Study Room.
"Jiaojiao, how is your business going?" Wan Hengtong had already sent away the visitors, and he was sitting in front of the desk writing something.
Wan Jiaojiao pursed her lips, she had nothing to hide in front of her own father, "Don't give me a chance, it's so annoying, the two seem to have no contact, and they feel like glue." "Okay, stop messing
around What are you messing around with?" Wan Hengtong glanced at her, put the note in a purse and threw it to her before she knew it, "Don't make a fool of yourself. Alright, let's go for a walk."
Wan Jiaojiao took the money bag unknowingly. Wan Hengtong had never treated her badly in terms of gold and silver, "Father... tell me, is there any other way, can..." "Don't make other people think, today
you I know where you have gone, if you dare to go again in the future, your legs will be broken." Wan Hengtong put on a straight face, still looking a bit like a strict father.
In desperation, Wan Jiaojiao could only agree sullenly, not to look at handsome men, and her life lost a little meaning again.
"You see that you are pretending to be courteous to deliver porridge to others today. Did others accept your favor? I don't have this father yet." Wan Hengtong said angrily again, "Okay, you can help me to get you later. Go to my uncle's house, he has a new painting and calligraphy for me, go and get it for me."
Wan Jiaojiao stomped her feet when she heard this, and she was even more reluctant, "Father, I'm so humbled today, you don't care about this kind of thing. Can't you send a servant there?"
"Nonsense, your grandmother misses you too, so you can stop by and do your mother's filial piety, what can I do for you?" Wan Hengtong glanced at her again and waved his hand. kicked people out.
Seeing Wan Jiaojiao going out, the housekeeper at the door went into the study and asked, "Master, are
you still sending someone to follow ?" In the mansion, who else would meddle in other people's business." Wan Hengtong squinted his eyes, and didn't send a message, but it delayed his important business.
"Yes. Master... Do you want those people?" The butler stretched out his hand and made a gesture on his neck, his expression was no longer as friendly as before.
Wan Hengtong waved his hand, "It's not necessary, let's keep them for now. I'll let you ask Liu Chong about the goods there, have you gone?
" It belongs to the imperial court, and there is no such thing as jade or emerald." The butler replied.
"How could it be..." Wan Hengtong was a little puzzled. Driven by his interests, he couldn't help but suspect Liu Chong, the local official he was cooperating with.
The housekeeper also frowned, knowing how much benefit it would bring if he could cooperate with a private jade mine, "Master, could it be that there is greed and want to take it for yourself?" "It's not impossible
, If there are so many jade stones as that woman said, it is very likely that the dog official wants to take it for himself, so how about it, tell me for me, I will go to the interview in person." Wan Hengtong squinted his eyes deliberately to be on the safe side. He instructed, "Keep this matter secret, and no one else will know about my relationship with him."
The housekeeper nodded and immediately understood, "Yes, this old slave understands, and this old slave will do it now."
Chapter 533: Chain Set
This scene also happened to be caught by Bai Qianyi's eyes. He was not in a hurry to tell Lin Huiru and Xu Ziqiao directly, but secretly followed Wan Hengtong's carriage to Liu Chong's mansion.
However, Liu Chong's mansion was not so close, even for Bai Qianyi, it was a bit tricky.
He informed Xu Ziqiao and Lin Huiru of the news, and Xu Ziqiao frowned tightly, "It's just a local official, how can there be so many guards?
" Prince Xiang's Mansion, it is really hard to imagine why a local official can have such a defense." Bai Qianyi was also puzzled.
Lin Huiru smiled at the concubine and looked thoughtful, "No matter how much they searched, we now know where the things are. Unfortunately, there should be more than ten thousand people involved. Hengtong and that Liu Chong, but in the current situation, why not send the names of these two people back first, and let us adapt the rest?" "
However, there are unidentified people staring at us now, and I was also arrested on the way back just now. It feels like people are watching. If the letter is being blocked at this time..." Bai Qianyi said, feeling a little worried.
Xu Ziqiao waved his hand, "Don't worry about this. Your Majesty and I have a separate news network, which was established when we left. It is not easy to intercept this news.
" Seeing this place, we can't delay." Lin Huiru wiped the juice on her hand, in this case, it is more important to protect her own life first.
"However, if they leave without saying goodbye, I'm afraid it will arouse their suspicion even more. It is a good thing that Wan Hengtong has gone to Liu Chong's place now. It proves that Wan Hengtong has become suspicious of Liu Chong. If we sit here firmly, It would be convenient to provoke the relationship between them." Xu Ziqiao said in a deep voice.
Although he didn't want to stay here for a long time, in order to wait for the imperial court's reinforcements, he could only endure it for a while.
Xu Ziqiao looked at Lin Huiru solicitingly, and Lin Huiru spread his hands and smiled, "I don't care, just stay a little longer, it's not an unbearable place here." "
Okay , then wait another three days, at least to give time to deliver the letter." Xu Ziqiao nodded, and held Lin Huiru's hand and rubbed it for a moment.
Bai Qianyi, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "I think we need to find a reason why we can't stay any longer." "
Why?" Xu Ziqiao was puzzled.
"You think, if Liu Chong doesn't know about this at all, and Wan Hengtong doesn't know about it, then who is the identity of the person who chased and killed us? The person who came here is very skilled, so he shouldn't have nothing to do?" He hugged Leaning his arms on the table, the meaning is already very obvious.
Lin Huiru was taken aback, but almost forgot that there was such a group of people, "So... there are still people who want to kill us? But at this time, there is probably only one person who dares to chase and kill us.
" The only one he pointed to was Tang Junyi.
No one can shake Xu Ziqiao's position in the court, and there is no one who wants to kill him except Tang Junyi. Even if he is a member of King Xiang's henchmen, Tang Junyi is the only one who wants to kill him.
Especially now that the immediate rivals have been ruled out, who else can there be besides Tang Junyi?
"However, something went wrong. It's obvious that this matter has been done very covertly." Lin Huiru rubbed the center of her brows with a headache. This fact is troublesome.
"That's not the case. Think about it. In fact, we met the assassin at the beginning, and we didn't have time to confirm his identity. If we were targeted from the beginning, we would have progressed very fast, and we might force him to jump over the wall in a hurry." Xu Ziqiao's plotting and analysis is clear and logical, and he also feels a headache for this formidable enemy.
Lin Huiru sighed, "Forget it, if he comes, let him be safe. Since he already knows, there is no point in us doing anything else. If he comes to attack us next time, just grab him alive and refer to him." "
"I'm not worried about other things now, but since Tang Junyi took the initiative to cooperate with Qingwu to take down Anguo, and he has to fight for his success in this matter, then our efforts will be in vain." A loyal minister, although he has not changed his original intention now, he can't do this by handing over his fame and fame.
Only with fame and fame can he hold down the leverage with Tang Junyi and maintain a balance in the court.
Speaking of this, Lin Huiru is not in a good mood. After all, coming this time is very risky, and she would be unwilling to give up everything now.
Although in Qianyuan's place, a reward was indispensable for the fast delivery of the news, but Tang Junyi's merits on the surface would be counted on Tang Junyi's head at that time.
"Yes!" Suddenly, Lin Huiru's head flashed, and she clapped her hands, showing a little cunning, "Since his people have come, let's enter into the friendship of the landlord and give him a big gift."
Xu Ziqiao was even more confused by what he said, but seeing Lin Huiru's mood improved, he relaxed a lot, "What ceremony?" "
Now Liu Chong and Wan Hengtong don't even know that King Xiang has come How about we give them a favor and let them fight on their own, while we watch?" Lin Huiru's phoenix eyes were full of cunning, and she was happy to watch this kind of dog-eat-dog thing.
This opinion made both Bai Qianyi and Xu Ziqiao's eyes shine, "Good idea, it's just this news..." "It's
simple, just write an anonymous letter to Liu Chong. But, what I'm curious about is that Wan Hengtong must use Wan Jiaojiao's biography Xin, next time you follow her, and then follow the person who took the letter, I want to know who else is involved in this matter." Lin Huiru snapped her fingers.
However, Bai Qianyi remained skeptical, "In this case, don't you have to worry about Liu Chong getting suspicious?
" It's inevitable that some people will fawn on you, and they will just treat this letter as if it was sent by someone with a heart, so it's okay." Xu Ziqiao said, raising his hand and gently rubbing Lin Huiru's hair on the temples, his little one is really smart.
Things had been planned, and the three of them performed their respective duties. Only Lin Huiru's job was the most boring, and she had to deal with Wan Jiaojiao, a troublesome woman.
"Sister Xu, did Mr. Lin go out today? Why do you always leave you alone? I'm angry for you. Such a man is too inconsiderate." Saying this, Wan Jiaojiao pouted, Quietly looked at Lin Huiru's complexion for any change.
But Lin Huiru was still concentrating on reading the books while eating fruit, "It's okay, if you stay around for a long time, you don't have anything to say. He is willing to go for a walk and walk away. Men don't need to worry about meeting bad people like women."
Chapter 534
Wan Jiaojiao nodded, and accurately grasped a hint in Lin Huiru's words. The two of them stayed together for a long time and had nothing to say. Isn't that because the relationship is not deep enough?
"So that's the case. I thought newlyweds would stick together like glue and have endless conversations." Wan Jiaojiao said intentionally.
Lin Huiru thought that there was nothing to do left and right, so it was better to tease her, "Newlyweds are, but we have been married for a long time, and it is normal to have nothing new." "But I always feel that you are not so old
. look." Wan Jiaojiao asked.
"It has nothing to do with that. The main thing is that there must be something new between a man and a woman. Miss Wan, like me, was born in a wealthy family, and the person to marry naturally has the confidence of her mother's family, but no. I know Miss Wan, have you ever heard that if you marry the wrong person, how miserable will your life be?" Lin Huiru pretended to be mysterious, she closed the book and asked in a low voice.
Wan Jiaojiao shook her head hastily. Girls of this age yearn for perfect relationships, how could they expect such things.
"Hey, let me tell you a story. I have a friend in the capital. Her family is not a big official, and she married a well-matched person. At first, they also fell in love at first sight. But after getting married, the man His true nature was gradually exposed. He used the connections in the woman's family to help him become successful, but in the end he ignored the woman and changed his gentle demeanor. He lingered in the gentle township every day. She was pregnant with a child and was murdered, so she ended up jumping into a well." Lin Huiru said, tsk tsk regretfully.
"Daughter's family, marriage is a major event, but it's not the only thing. At least you have to think twice about marrying someone. If you marry too low, they may try to take advantage of your family status. If you marry too high, they won't let you go." In my eyes. Men, especially handsome men, are the best at double-deckering, just like those beautiful women, you must not be fooled by those men. Men can marry many times, but women once more , I will be instructed."
Seeing Wan Jiaojiao sitting on the side with a sullen face and not speaking, Lin Huiru thought that she had frightened her, and just breathed a sigh of relief and wanted to continue reading.
"Then sister Xu, since you have been married, I see that you and Mr. Lin sometimes seem like strangers, don't you get along very well?" Now it seems that Xu Ziqiao is still on this girl's mind.
Lin Huiru was a little helpless, and after saying sorry to Xu Ziqiao many times in her heart, she began to make up stories again, "He looks modest and reticent on the surface, but he is very ambitious behind the scenes, so we will be together wherever we go, If I leave him alone in the capital, I'm still worried that he will take me out."
"Why is that? I don't think he looks like that kind of person?" Wan Jiaojiao unconsciously brought the topic to Xu Ziqiao He was complacent, but he didn't know that he had fallen into Lin Huiru's trap.
"He is not here, so I can tell you directly. He is of ordinary background, but he is good-looking and has been sought after by women since he was a child, which made him very angry. Before me, he was with a woman. Later, That man couldn't bear him stealing money, gambling, and drinking, so he reconciled with him." Lin Huiru looked solemn.
But Wan Jiaojiao was not so easy to get tricked this time. She looked at Lin Huiru suspiciously, "Sister Xu, are you deliberately discrediting Mr. Lin? Since he is so bad, why did you marry him?" Give it to him?"
There is no need to doubt, the word "intentional" can be left out.
"Although it's not very good, as long as you take care of it, there are merits. Qianyi is my person, and you can watch him at any time. He will never leave me, he can only wait for the opportunity to do it, and he will never be willing to part with me. family wealth, so now he can be by my side like a vase, isn't it great to look at?" After Lin Huiru said this, she didn't know how many times she had said sorry to Xu Ziqiao in her heart.
Speaking of this, Wan Jiaojiao was still a little skeptical, but she couldn't help feeling a little uncomfortable in her heart. She frowned and stood up, "Suddenly remembered that my father still has something for me to do, thank you sister Xu for teaching me, I will come to play with you some other day." After finishing speaking,
Wan Jiaojiao slipped away as if to run away up.
Wan Jiaojiao left on the front foot, and Bai Qianyi jumped off the beam on the back foot. Looking at Lin Huiru who couldn't help laughing, he couldn't help saying in his heart that women are really poisonous, "She won't give up if you lie to her like this, just a little No sense of threat?"
"Why should there be a sense of threat? Xu Ziqiao won't like her. It's useless to do more people who don't like her. For me, it's called polite persuasion. It's better than tearing her face." Lin Huiru looked innocent, just then She didn't read much into the book, she just apologized to Xu Ziqiao in her heart.
Bai Qianyi smiled helplessly, "If he knows that you have done this, his face will be as black as the bottom of a pot." "If you let
him choose whether to be discredited or pursued, he will definitely choose the former " Lin Huiru shrugged, "Let's not talk about this, did you find anything just now?"
Today Wan Hengtong is not here, Wan Jiaojiao came to her, and it is the most suitable time to investigate the Wan family.
"I found Wan Hengtong's secret room, and most of the contacts with some officials in it have probably corrupted Minzhou, and the rest are just gold, silver and jewelry." Bai Qianyi said, "There is nothing rare. "
Lin Huiru frowned thoughtfully, "It shouldn't be, businessmen and officials are still at a disadvantage when moving around, and they should keep some officials' handles in their hands." "Then
that account book should be enough, and it involves The amount is huge, and it is not the income that rice noodles and salt can bring, this Wanhengtong should be in collusion with the officials, and I don't know what business is going on behind the scenes." Bai Qianyi also lowered his eyebrows thinking about the details on the account book, some Lin Huiru would be surprised by the numbers.
"About how many?" Lin Huiru asked.
Bai Qianyi stretched out a finger, "Just at the beginning of this month, there have been 10,000 taels of walking with Liu Chong. I don't know what it is that can bring them so much money. Others The average monthly ledger has to be about ten thousand taels, such a number, I am afraid..."
Lin Huiru was surprised by this number, and after a moment of recovery, he sank again, "This number is naturally not a business on the bright side. If you can bring so much money into your account, you will definitely not be able to do anything behind the scenes."
"Gunpowder? Illegal salt? Illegal mine?" Bai Qianyi can think of only these profitable things.
"It's meaningless to guess now, but why Xu Ziqiao hasn't come back yet, you can help me go out and find him. I think about it, and I always feel that something is not right." Lin Huiru frowned again, no wonder Wan Hengtong didn't care too much The business of 10,000 catties of grain.
Chapter 535 Melee
"Your Highness, I don't know why, Liu Chong and others have come to the door. I don't know who spread the news that our people have gone. It may be even more difficult to do it now." Yu Feng stood beside Tang Junyi with a solemn expression. , the eyes on Qingwu were full of fear.
Tang Junyi was not very nervous, he just sat there and played with the fan thoughtfully, until Yufeng finished speaking before he opened his mouth, "Proton, only you and I know about this matter, how about explaining?" "I
have What is there to explain, you and I cooperate, what good is it for me to reveal the news of His Highness? This matter, the problem does not lie with me." Qing Wu frowned and put down the teacup in his hand, emotional Tang Junyi hurriedly looked for him Come, it is to Xingshi to inquire about the crime.
The conscience of heaven and earth, he really didn't tell the news about that person named Liu Chong, let alone he didn't know who Liu Chong was.
Even if what he said was reasonable, Tang Junyi became suspicious of him. Tang Junyi smiled, "Could it be that the proton thinks that this king is incompetent, and Xu Ziqiao knew about it?" "It's not impossible, after
all The people who could be taken down at one time actually ran away. Although there are many people who want Xu Ziqiao's life, the only one who has the guts is probably you, Your Highness. Xu Ziqiao is so smart, how could he not realize it?" Qingwu Look innocent.
Yufeng was beside him but he couldn't listen anymore, he was already protecting the lord, he could no longer bear Qingwu's cunning appearance, "In the end, you were the one who gave the news that Xu Ziqiao went to the south, and you were the one who instigated him to kill people. Could it be that you did some tricks in it?"
"Hey, what you said is not right. Although I proposed it, it is also agreed by your highness. Whether you do it or not is up to you." Did you decide? When to kill people and what route to go there are all planned by you, how can I know these things?" Qing Wu narrowed his eyes, and quickly changed the subject, "So, the question , shouldn't His Highness consider whether it's on one of our own people?"
These words sounded a wake-up call to Tang Junyi, but after all, they were all trained by his subordinates. How could he bow his head to Qingwufu now? "Proton, don't rush to stay out of the matter. I am curious, how did you know that Xu Ziqiao has gone?" From the south?"
"Your Highness, don't listen to other people's slander. I have said that I have guards staying outside the city. I know the news is normal. They are walking by water, and they just passed by my people. ." Qingwu shrugged, showing no flaws on his face.
Tang Junyi squinted his long and narrow eyes and didn't know what to say for a moment, and finally sneered, "Then according to what the proton sees, what should we do now?" "I think His Highness can use this time to discuss cooperation with
Liu Chong, and wait Let's make sure that the people there are almost trapped, and then catch them all in one go." Qing Wu cupped his hands, it seemed quite reasonable just to hear it this way.
But the risks of some things are too late to get to the bottom of it.
Although on the surface Qingwu is in his hands, but this person is well-informed and has a wide range of secrets, so things may not be that simple.
Tang Junyi's vigilance was raised again, he smiled and waved his hands, "This matter is very important, since the proton has nothing to do with this matter, then this king has misunderstood, it's late, come here, send the proton back to the mansion Go."
Qingwu nodded, but she was particularly disdainful in her heart. What does Tang Junyi think of him?!
Lin
Huiru thought for a long time alone but still failed to break through the bottleneck, but before the flash of inspiration, he smelled a trace of blood.
A bad premonition welled up in her heart, she rushed out the door, and saw Bai Qianyi walking over with Xu Ziqiao's arm, and Xu Ziqiao's clothes were almost stained red with blood.
"What's going on!?" Lin Huiru frowned, and helped Xu Ziqiao into the room and lay down on the bed.
At this time, Xu Ziqiao suddenly held her hand and comforted her softly, "I'm fine, don't worry, I didn't hurt anything..."
"Don't talk for now, no matter whether you hurt your vitals, you should take a good rest first. What about the doctor, did you see a doctor?" Lin Huiru knelt down, trying to undress him in a panic to check the wound, but her hands were held down.
Xu Ziqiao gritted his teeth, showing a bit of pain, "Just wrap it up for me, I can't find a doctor, Tang Junyi's people chased us, just to put us to death..." "But you are like this..." Lin Huiru
frowned Wrinkled tightly, he suddenly turned his head to look at Bai Qianyi, "Go and invite a doctor, it's already this time, I don't care if he is Tang Junyi or not, if there is something wrong, I will burn his palace directly when I go back !"
Seeing Lin Huiru's stubbornness, Bai Qianyi just went out and walked a few steps when he saw Wan Jiaojiao walking over with a worried face, "Mr. Lin, are you all right? He thought that you must need a doctor, so he helped you find a doctor."
Bai Qianyi glanced at Wan Jiaojiao, then at Xu Ziqiao's bedroom, and could only lead him there.
Fortunately, no internal organs were injured, but the wound was a bit bigger and the bleeding continued. After the doctor finished bandaging, Xu Ziqiao passed out.
"Sister Xu, is there anything else I can do to help?" Wan Jiaojiao sent the doctor away, but she also refused to go out.
Lin Huiru is not in the mood to deal with Wan Jiaojiao right now, so she tucked the quilt up for Xu Ziqiao, and said lightly, "Thank you, Miss Wan, for inviting the doctor today, and it's fine for Qianyi and I to stay here for other things, Miss Wan should go early Go back and rest."
"But...a man is not as careful in taking care of a woman as a woman, these days I also regard you as friends, why don't you let me do what I can." Wan Jiaojiao said, her eyes kept glancing at Xu Ziqiao .
"No need, Miss Wan should go back and rest. After all, men and women can't get married. Miss Wan hasn't left the court yet. This will inevitably affect the reputation of the girl's family." Lin Huiru insisted on her attitude, especially the latter words, which can be regarded as for Wanjiao Jiao rang the alarm.
Wan Jiaojiao hesitated to speak, but still gritted her teeth and turned to leave. She was not reconciled, but could not speak out.
Until midnight, Bai Qianyi saw that Lin Huiru's eyes were blank and he seemed to be in a daze, so he went forward and proposed to change shifts, "Why don't you take a rest, I'll watch over here." "No, I can't sleep anyway
. That's it, you go to sleep, you have enough energy, in case there is any unexpected situation and you can handle it, I want to stay with him for a while." Although Lin Huiru's eyes were dull, her gaze was still relaxed. On Xu Ziqiao's body, she never expected that she would suffer such a serious injury when she was taken out alone.
Chapter 536
When Xu Ziqiao was injured when she returned to the capital, she must make Tang Junyi pay back twice as much.
Seeing Lin Huiru's insistence, Bai Qianyi couldn't say anything more, so he could only let out a sigh of relief, "Then pay attention to your health." Looking at the pale
person on the bed, Lin Huiru couldn't help holding his chin After thinking about all kinds of things, if that person's saber was a little more deflected today, maybe she would never see Xu Ziqiao.
Unexpectedly, they were patient with Tang Junyi everywhere, but Tang Junyi pressed so hard every step of the way. It's really a good thing for a good person.
"I'm really fine, you go to sleep for a while." Just when Lin Huiru was in a trance, Xu Ziqiao opened his eyes a crack at some point, and kept looking at her silently.
Lin Huiru quickly came back to her senses, and put one hand on Xu Ziqiao's forehead, "No, if you have a fever, the matter will be serious. Hiss...you really have a fever, I'll pour you some water later, just in time Take the medicine."
She got up in a hurry and poured water with just the right temperature, and when she came back, there was even a hint of a smile on Xu Ziqiao's face.
"What are you laughing at? Take the medicine quickly." Lin Huiru frowned. He could still laugh at this time.
"I'm glad to have such a good wife by my bed." Xu Ziqiao was about to get up to take the medicine, but frowned because of the pain caused by the wound.
Lin Huiru hurried up to help her, and her words were full of reproach, "Be careful, I'll just feed you. If you open the wound again, you can bear it." After taking the medicine, Xu Ziqiao lay on the
bed Still reluctant to let her go, "Lie down, let me hold you for a while." "
Okay, this is not my home, if... be seen, how bad it is." Lin Huiru's face flushed , politely refused.
Xu Ziqiao didn't take it seriously, "We are husband and wife, why should we care about these things? You've been tired all day. It's not too much to lie down and rest with me for a while."
Unable to resist Xu Ziqiao, Lin Huiru felt her upper and lower eyelids start to fight as soon as she lay in his arms, and the deep sleepiness took over her brain. When she woke up, it was already noon the next day.
She quickly got up to test Xu Ziqiao's forehead, but she saw Xu Ziqiao frown because she touched the wound, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it, I wanted to see if you still have a fever." "It's okay, you don't have a fever.
" Thank you for taking care of me. You can lie down and sleep for a while." As he spoke, Xu Ziqiao opened a corner of the quilt to her again.
Lin Huiru shook her head and got out of bed, "Don't sleep anymore, I'll go and see what I can make for you to eat, you wait here for me obediently, don't move around."
Xu Ziqiao could only be intimidated by words . Reluctantly agreed.
After leaving the yard, Lin Huiru grabbed a maidservant and inquired about the location of the kitchen, washed her hands and cooked seafood porridge and pork rib soup, and also fried a light side dish.
She was humming a ditty and was about to send it to Xu Ziqiao when she saw Wan Jiaojiao poking her head at the door.
Procrastination is not the aroma of food, Wan Jiaojiao will not find Lin Huiru yet. After carefully confirming that the fragrance came from Lin Huiru, Wan Jiaojiao showed surprise, "Sister Xu, did you make these?" "Well, he just woke up, so he has to eat something
nutritious It's greasy, so I borrowed it from the kitchen." While speaking, Lin Huiru stepped into the door, just in time to see Bai Qianyi talking to Xu Ziqiao.
Surprised, Wan Jiaojiao felt a sense of loss. Although she felt that Lin Huiru made Xu Ziqiao very unbearable yesterday, compared with Lin Huiru, she felt that she was far behind.
Lin Huiru is a good woman who wants money and money, face and face, and can do business and cook soup, but she seems to know nothing...Look
at Lin Huiru feeding Xu Ziqiao and eating those meals , Wan Jiaojiao felt even more sour, "I don't know how Mr. Lin is doing?"
Just now Xu Ziqiao and Lin Huiru were still chatting and laughing, the pampering in their eyes could almost overflow, now it was Wan Jiaojiao's turn, and the last trace of smile on Xu Ziqiao's face was gone, "I'm fine now, thank you Miss Wan misses you."
"Then... that's good, I bought some fresh fruits at home, I'll go get some for you." This huge gap made Wan Jiaojiao go out a little disappointed, and then went out along the way. I don't know how many times I sighed.
"Miss, you don't seem to be in a good mood today?" the personal maid Fei Cui asked cautiously when she saw it.
Wan Jiaojiao didn't hide anything when she said, "You know I like that young master, but no matter how I show affection or alienate, the relationship between the two seems to be indifferent, but it always makes people feel deep. Okay."
That Jade rolled her eyes, stepped forward and whispered, "Miss, you should have self-confidence, the master is your father, the richest man in the south, and you may not be better than that in terms of appearance." Women are inferior, besides, you are a talented woman who is proficient in all aspects of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but that woman is in business, how can she compare with you. You are just missing the timing." "What timing, he is cold to me
, Anyone can see that if I post it again, won't I look cheap?" Wan Jiaojiao was even more depressed.
"That doesn't necessarily mean that you don't like you. What if there is a need to avoid suspicion? From my servant's point of view, you can find an opportunity to talk to that young master alone. Maybe things will turn around." Fei Cui continued to shake her wit .
Wan Jiaojiao curled her lips, "When is the timing? Those two are yours, at most I can only see that woman." "
This...the servant has a way." Fei Cui looked around, stepped forward and turned her voice The pressure was even lower, "You can ask the master to discuss business with that woman. In this way, wouldn't
you have time to meet the young master?" Salary." Wan Jiaojiao's eyes lit up, and a sly smile appeared on the corner of her lips, she took the fruit plate and ran out, this time she was not in a hurry to see Xu Ziqiao, but went to Wan Hengtong's place first.
...
"Father, you can help your daughter one more time."
As everyone knows, when Wan Hengtong heard her idea, he straightened his face again, looking very unwilling, "Jiaojiao, as my daughter, how many good husbands and son-in-laws do you have to look for?" No, why do you have to have trouble with this man?"
"There are too many men in this world, it's not easy to meet someone you like, dad, I'm a girl, not a man, men are okay Marry a lot of songs, but if I can't marry the one I like, I'm afraid I won't be happy in this life, Dad, you can make my daughter one last." Wan Jiaojiao continued to plead with Wan Hengtong's arm .
Wan Hengtong didn't know what to do either, "Are you so sure that this time he can give up that woman and fall in love with you?"
Chapter 537
"Although my daughter is not sure, this is at least an opportunity. If I can't express this feeling clearly, my daughter will have regrets for the rest of her life." Wan Jiaojiao looked at Wan Hengtong pitifully with a distressed look on her face.
In any case, this is also my own spoiled daughter, and it's not an unreasonable thing. Even if the other party doesn't agree to this matter, it won't be too embarrassing. If you don't like you, you should give up on this as soon as possible, and prepare to marry Liu Chong's son." "
Master Liu?!" Wan Jiaojiao's pupils shrank suddenly, she had heard about the name Liu Chong. .
"But, father, you don't know how badly Mr. Liu's son is judged by others." Wan Jiaojiao's eyes were full of disbelief. Wan Hengtong held her in his hand since she was a child, which made her really happy. It's hard to accept that her father wants her to marry a person who has no feelings and has a bad reputation.
Wan Hengtong sighed, this was a helpless move, "His son is not bad in appearance, but it is inevitable to marry a few more, but the main position has always been vacant. Liu Chong will have a lot of promise in the future. There is room for advancement, you have become the wife of a high-ranking official, and your father can give you enough financial support, are you afraid that you will be wronged in this life?" "
But, father..." This news is so thunderous that Wan Jiaojiao wants to say more What, but was frightened back by Wan Hengtong's look.
After leaving Wan Hengtong's study, Wan Jiaojiao was devastated.
According to her plan, Wan Hengtong quickly found Lin Huiru and Bai Qianyi, which was her great opportunity.
Originally, Xu Ziqiao was lying on the bed with his eyes closed, and when he heard the door being pushed open, he thought it was Lin Huiru who had come back, but when he opened his eyes, he saw Wan Jiaojiao with reddish eyes, which made him frown, "Little If you go to Master Wan's study, if Miss Wan has something to do, you might as well come back later." "
No, Mr. Lin, I want to see you." Wan Jiaojiao closed the door and walked slowly to Xu Ziqiao's bed in a daze. He said, "Mr. Lin, after getting along for so many days, what kind of person do you think I am?"
"Miss Wan is a dragon and phoenix among men." Xu Ziqiao didn't want to say anything, but just casually said something, but Wan Jiaojiao's eyes that were red from crying surprised him a little.
Wan Jiaojiao pursed her lips and smiled wryly, "Then why doesn't the young master like me? Or is it because sister Xu is here, so it's not convenient to look at me?" After talking about it, a glimmer of hope suddenly appeared in her eyes.
Xu Ziqiao probably understood why she came, and there was even the fact that Lin Huiru and Bai Qianyi were suddenly called away, "Miss Wan respects herself, I already have a wife, and I will never fall in love with others. Miss Wan is Wei Being out of the court, it is inevitable that lonely men and widows will spread gossip, so please ask Miss Wan to go out first."
Xu Ziqiao's words stabbed her heart like a knife, and all her illusions were shattered. It comes from Wan Hengtong's sentence, "If he doesn't like you, you can marry Mr. Liu." "
Mr. Lin really doesn't care about me at all? But I like you, young master, and I don't mind being young, and I don't mind being in love with you for a long time. If I can't marry you, my father will marry me to Liu My lord's son is gone, I really don't want to marry him." Saying that, Wan Jiaojiao couldn't help crying again, looking very pitiful.
But Xu Ziqiao has no compassion at all. Although it is pitiful not to be able to control his own marriage, this matter has nothing to do with him. What's more, if he feels pity for Wan Jiaojiao, it will be Lin Huiru. As for where? "So Miss Wan wants to be my concubine in order not to marry Master Liu's son?" "
As long as you don't mind, I can do anything, as long as I can look after you." Hearing what Xu Ziqiao said, Wan Jiao Jiao thought that Xu Ziqiao had changed her mind, maybe it was just like what Fei Cui said, what's wrong with her?
But after hearing what she said, Xu Ziqiao just sneered, "I will never take a concubine in my life, and I am only loyal to Xiaoru. If Miss Wan wants to find someone to marry, she should change someone. Can I invite you out now? "
"But if you don't want me, my lord, I will marry someone I don't love!" Wan Jiaojiao raised her head suddenly, her tone full of despair.
"What does that have to do with me?" Xu Ziqiao's voice was still cold, and he didn't even want to look at her.
Wan Jiaojiao bit her lower lip, "How am I inferior to Sister Xu? There is no man in my family. If you marry me, all the foundations of this Wan family will be yours in the future, and I will definitely not be like Sister Xu. Domineering, if the young master likes virtuous people, I can also learn to cook."
"Oh, Miss Wan must have misunderstood something? I am not a person who covets other people's wealth, and Xiaoru is not the kind of person you think. There is no need to explain the matter to outsiders. If Ms. Wan continues to entangle, it will only affect her reputation." Xu Ziqiao raised his hand and rubbed the center of his brows, and said coldly.
"My lord, you don't know yet. Sister Xu already told me everything about you that day. So why not you are just purely ambitious? Since you can not marry another woman for Sister Xu, why can't you make an exception for me?" Well, Wanjia is not only doing grain, rice and salt business on the surface, but behind the scenes, the profits are huge, as long as you marry me, those are all yours!" Wan Jiaojiao pretended to be smart, and her eyes flickered with deep anger. confidence.
Xu Ziqiao suddenly became a little dumb. In order to persuade this woman to leave, Lin Huiru didn't know what to say. No wonder he kept sneezing these days, but when it came to the business behind Wanjia..."Oh Then what else is Wanjia doing?"
Seeing that things were turning for the better, Wan Jiaojiao chose the former between male sex and her father, "Wanjia also has private salt and private mines, each of which makes a profit every year. At least one hundred thousand taels of silver, those are my father's foundations for many years, as long as you marry me, they are all yours."
This news surprised Xu Ziqiao, who did not expect that Wan Hengtong was really brave enough to do it without telling the court. After these two incidents, he must have been extremely clever and cunning, but now he was betrayed by his own daughter, and he didn't know what Wan Hengtong's expression would be if he knew these things.
"Miss Wan is just joking. These are strictly prohibited by the imperial court. Master Wan is just a businessman. It is impossible to do these things." Xu Ziqiao continued to induce.
Wan Jiaojiao was already in a daze at the moment, "That's because my father cooperated with Liu Chong, and the two of them shielded each other, one concealed the news and the other smuggled it, so that the court didn't find out. It was a gold mine, and most of it hadn't been mined yet. ."
Chapter 538 Sudden Attack
I'm afraid Wan Hengtong never imagined that the person who put his great career in vain turned out to be his own daughter.
If so, then everything will be clear. A sarcastic smile appeared on the corners of Xu Ziqiao's lips, and she snorted lightly, "Miss Wan, for me you actually revealed all the family property of the Wan family, and I don't know if Master Wan will vomit blood in anger after knowing these things." Wan
Jiao Jiao bit her lower lip, even though she knew it was not good to do so, but for her own happiness, she had to win no matter what, "If the young master agrees, we will be a family, and it would be better to let you know about these things sooner." Nothing."
"But when did I say that I agreed? Marriage between a man and a woman is all about your love and your wishes. Recently, Miss Wan can pretend that she didn't say anything, but now, please invite Miss Wan to go back." Xu Ziqiao's The attitude is still cold and alienated.
These words made Wan Jiaojiao almost doubt her ears and eyes, "Since you don't agree, why did you lie to me?! Or are these not enough? Your ambition is too big?! So many things, Could that woman be able to give it?"
Xu Ziqiao didn't know if he could give private mines and salt, but Lin Huiru could earn much more money than these, so how could he not be able to give it? , Xu Ziqiao suddenly smiled, "How do you know she can't give it? You can't think of what she can give." As soon as the
voice fell, the door of the room was pushed open, Lin Huiru folded her arms and smiled Yi walked into the door slowly, but she didn't even think about going to Wan Hengtong's place, "How did Miss Wan know that I couldn't give it to you? You said these things, Miss Wan, even if you were your biological father, you might not forgive me. Before the Wanjia stall, I would like to advise Miss Wan that it is better to leave the Wanjia as soon as possible."
"You! You!" Wan Jiaojiao's eyes widened in shock, with disbelief written all over her face, at least she knew I jumped into this game by myself, "You guys teamed up to lie to me! What the hell are you trying to do?! I'm going to tell my dad!"
Lin Huiru turned her head and made a gesture of invitation, "If Miss Wan dares to speak, you can go. From the beginning to the end, it seems that Miss Wan tried every means to design us. Although it is not enough to risk your life, but There is a saying that it is better to demolish ten temples than ruin a marriage, but it is not good for Miss Wan to provoke and lure
her like this?" !" Wan Jiaojiao was ashamed and annoyed, but she didn't dare to tell Wan Hengtong about it, after all, before Wan Hengtong could deal with these people, she must be beaten to death first. Her words today are equivalent to ruining Wanjia's future!
Lin Huiru couldn't help frowning at these words, and clicked his tongue softly, "I just wanted to start a business and find something, but you are the ones who want us to live here with ulterior motives, and you are the ones who let me go, but you come here Saying that I am playing tricks on your Wan family, Miss Wan is not very kind. Why don't I show you a clear way, miss?" Now
Wan Jiaojiao can't care about any love between men and women, and her mind is full of If Wan Hengtong knew about this, he would definitely kill her, "What?" "
Now you pack up and leave Wanjia, and we also pack up and leave each other. By the way, I can tell you that, apart from this matter, The Wan family is doomed." After Lin Huiru finished speaking, she went to the bedside and helped Xu Ziqiao sit up.
Her tone was very sincere, not to mention that because this matter had nothing to do with the safety of the Wan family, Wan Jiaojiao had to think seriously, "How do you know? How can I trust that you will not report?" "
You If you don't know, your father should also know that the imperial court has sent people over to thoroughly investigate the problem of the goods lost by the imperial court on your side. Regarding Liu Chong and what he has done, all will be known at that time. Make it public, and your father can't escape it. If you have time to pack up and leave now, don't tell your father about it." Lin Huiru said, helping Xu Ziqiao put on the outer shirt, which he just brought outside Soon, a piece of news that was very inappropriate for them came.
Tang Junyi personally brought people here, if he doesn't leave now, when will he wait?
Wan Jiaojiao's face changed when she heard this, and she turned around and was about to leave the house to deliver a letter to Wan Hengtong. The next moment, Bai Qianyi raised her hand and slapped it on the back of her neck, "What are you doing talking so much nonsense with her, hurry up!" Pack up and let's go."
Lin Huiru shrugged, "I think, since she told us this, we should do her some good." Then, seeing Xu Ziqiao's puzzled face, she lowered her voice, "I don't know why, but Tang Junyi is here. We should have reached the boundary of Minzhou by now. It's better for us to stay in another place." After hearing this, Xu Ziqiao couldn't help but frowned, "Why did he come
? Any news?"
"I don't know all of this yet, but we have to guard against whether he will attack us. This person is uncertain and elusive. If he can't force it in the face, it's better to retreat." Their things are originally Not long, Bai Qianyi took the saber and went out, but turned back the next moment.
"It's too late, it's already here."
Both Lin Huiru and Xu Ziqiao were taken aback. They never expected that Tang Junyi's movements would be so fast. Xu Ziqiao's injuries were not healed. Tang Junyi came here at this time. If he wanted to crush them to death, It's as simple as crushing an ant.
Not to mention them, even Wan Hengtong's face changed when he heard the news. The people in the capital rushed here without making a sound, not to mention the prince, and the recent loss of things by the court, what a fool! We can think of it together.
"Butler, hurry up, take Jiaojiao and leave through the back door, and send someone to tell Liu Chong to hide the traces there, and come and meet me." Wan Hengtong was a million puzzled, like People like Tang Junyi should go to Liu Chong's place when they come to such a small place, so why are they the first to rush to him?
Just seeing Wan Hengtong put away his things, the butler raised his eyebrows anxiously, "No way, master, everyone is already at the door now, and the accompanying soldiers should have been arranged on the street. Those things may have already been done." Betrayed by Liu Chong, why don't you go through the secret path first."
"How can that be done?! How could Liu Chong have such courage? The soldiers came to cover up the water and soil. The most important thing is to see him. You go and inform those in the yard over there, and let them come out to pick him up." After finishing speaking. , Wan Hengtong put on a serious face, shook his sleeves, and strode out the door.
Chapter 539 Distinguished Status
"Your Highness, you have been exhausted all this way, why don't you take a rest first?" Yufeng asked puzzledly looking at Tang Junyi who was rubbing his eyebrows to relieve his fatigue.
Tang Junyi closed his eyes and meditated, and suddenly smiled when he heard what he said, "What do you know, Xu Ziqiao was assassinated a few days ago, since we have invited the imperial decree to come, of course we want to see if the Prime Minister is okay. Moreover, since they chose to live in Wanjia, do you think this Wanjia will be a clean place?"
Although Yufeng is not good at strategy, Tang Junyi probably understands when he has said this, and he has to say that Tang Junyi's this The trick is also surprising. Regardless of whether Xu Ziqiao and the others knew that Tang Junyi was the one who planned the assassination, but after Tang Junyi slapped Xu Ziqiao in the face and then went up to greet him, this posture was enough for Qian Yuan.
The carriage slowly stopped at the gate of Wan's house, and Tang Junyi walked down from the carriage under the protection of Yufeng to the gate of Wan's house, and saw Wan Hengtong also wearing clothes and waiting there with a flattering face.
"His Royal Highness Xiang is a thousand years old, and the grassroots are far away, and I hope His Highness will forgive me." Wan Hengtong's face is the most disdainful for Tang Junyi.
Tang Junyi sneered, opened the folding fan and strode directly into the Wanjia, "It doesn't matter if you know, this king is here to pick up people. Where is Xu Xiang? Where did you hide it?" Wan Hengtong was puzzled by these
words Wushui, the current Prime Minister Xu Ziqiao knows it, but how could such a high-ranking person come to such a place?
He hurriedly stood up, followed Tang Junyi into the mansion and apologized with a smile, "Your Highness, Caomin has never heard of Xu Xiang coming to Minzhou. Could it be that your Highness remembered it wrong?" Tang Junyi suddenly stopped walking, causing Wan Hengtong to almost miss Hit him. He turned his head and pointed with a fan with a smile that was not a smile, "You are really blind. The one who was injured is the current Prime Minister Xu, and the woman next to him is Xiang's wife Lin Huiru. Xu Xiang condescends to live with you. You are still injured, and you are still here playing dumb with this king?"
Looking at Lin Huiru who was supporting Xu Ziqiao, Tang Junyi hooked the corners of his lips, "This king is late, please don't mind Mr. Xu and his wife. , this person hides his whereabouts maliciously, Yufeng, take him down."
"Yes." Yufeng responded, with a look, people surrounded Wan Hengtong and the housekeeper tightly, and then pressed them to the side.
Wan Hengtong was already dumbfounded by the incident in front of him. When did this woman become Mrs. Xiang, and the male favorite next to him became the prime minister? If he had known the identities of these two people earlier, of course he would not have provoked them, "Your Highness, Your Highness, please forgive me, Your Highness! Caomin really doesn't know the identities of the two nobles!" The reason why he was so flustered was because Tang Junyi is famous for his cruelty.
Xu Ziqiao's face was still a little pale, and he looked at Tang Junyi with a frown. Of course, it's not good to brush Tang Junyi's face in such a place, "Your Highness, please raise your hand, there is another reason for this matter. Your Highness, please talk in the room first, there are too many people here, it is inconvenient to talk."
Tang Junyi didn't say anything, just nodded and followed Xu Ziqiao, without embarrassing Wan Hengtong.
Originally, he was puzzled by this matter, but after he figured it out, he hurried here overnight, if Xu Ziqiao took the credit. Then if he holds Qingwu, it is no different from not holding it. This fame is so great that he must never give it up to others.
Since Xu Ziqiao concealed his identity and didn't bring anyone with him, he just came here to investigate the matter quietly, how could he let him take the lead?
In the small hall, there were only Tang Junyi, Lin Huiru, and Xu Ziqiao. They hadn't seen each other for a few days, but the fake smile on Tang Junyi's face was much more real.
"How about the injury on Mr. Xu? Have you seen the doctor? Tell me, Mr. Xu, why are you doing this? Hiding your identity and running to this kind of wilderness is better than being in the capital. But this king I also forgot, it's better to come here than to the north where the climate is severe, and it seems that my king's arrival is not at the right time." Tang Junyi spoke in a strange way, and he still said that Xu Ziqiao was obedient and vicious.
Xu Ziqiao sneered, "Don't worry about it, Your Highness, it's just a flesh injury, and the skills of those desperadoes are no more than that. I'm not as good as Your Highness, and I don't want to come to this kind of place myself without the rich clothes and food in the capital. "
"Hey, Mr. Xu is here, so what is this king? It's just that Mr. Xu, you are here, maybe the royal father doesn't know?" In fact, when he said this, Tang Junyi knew it well, so How could Qianyuan not know about the big things, but just because this matter couldn't be brought to the light, he could continue to pretend to be confused by pretending to be ignorant to trip up Xu Ziqiao.
"Your Highness came here on purpose, isn't it just to talk about this?" Xu Ziqiao squinted his eyes in displeasure, and the air was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder. He has run so far, how can he still meet this plague god? Could it be that something went wrong on the way to deliver the letter to Qianyuan?
Tang Junyi smiled inexplicably, and played with the folding fan in his hand, "Of course this king came this time to relieve father's worries. For such a big matter, someone must personally supervise it, so I can rest assured, not to mention the people below. It's slow, there is no leader at all after such a long time, so this king came here in person." "
But don't worry, my lord. With the friendship between my lord and you, this king will definitely replace this matter in front of your majesty." My lord just excused me a few words, after all, lord Xu is also for the country." Tang Junyi looked like a proud peacock when he was in the limelight.
"Then I really want to thank Your Highness, but it's a pity that we didn't start well, and we were assassinated after two days of playing, and we haven't found out any news until now. I'm afraid I will be helpless to Your Highness on this point. "Xu Ziqiao snorted lightly, and immediately cleared away all the connections that might make Tang Junyi win over.
Tang Junyi clicked his tongue softly, "It's okay, since Mr. Xu is already injured, he should take good care of his wounds. This king also thinks that the Wan family's house is really good. Before finding out anything, this king will also stay here temporarily. We will be together under the same roof in the future, please take care of Master Xu."
Before that Xu Ziqiao could say anything, Yu Feng's voice suddenly sounded outside, "Your Highness, we caught a woman, she should be Miss Wan's family, now Are you arguing to see Wan Hengtong, do you want to be locked up?" "
Oh, are you so rude? We are only here to investigate the matter, and we want to expropriate the Wan family's house. Why don't you go and let Wan Hengtong go? ?" Tang Junyi said.
Chapter 540 Help You
Lin Huiru couldn't help but sigh in her heart, this Tang Junyi is really hypocritical and hypocritical, and now he is still pretending for this sake. Fortunately, she reminded Wan Jiaojiao in advance, otherwise, if Wan Jiaojiao told about the Wan family, the matter would be serious.
This life under the same roof is not easy for anyone. The only one who is nourished is Tang Junyi. Every day, various fruits and melons are offered, and people are sent to the streets and alleys to inquire about news. Xu Ziqiao and Lin Huiru just felt a little cautious, but Wan Hengtong, who was clearly his home, wanted to be like a mouse.
Facing people like Tang Junyi, Wan Hengtong naturally dared not speak out when encountering anything, and felt very aggrieved every day.
But I have to say that although Tang Junyi's methods were a bit rough, they were indeed of great use. They quickly found Liu Chong's head. At this speed, I am afraid that they would not be able to find out everything. Far.
On this day, Tang Junyi had nothing to do, so he called Wan Jiaojiao over.
Under Tang Junyi's scrutiny, Wan Jiaojiao only felt uncomfortable. In fact, she knew very well that as long as Tang Junyi didn't come and investigate these things, Wan Hengtong would have no career at all, and Lin Huiru didn't lie to her. , if things go on like this, it will only be a matter of time until Wanjia is found out.
Therefore, even Wan Jiaojiao, who loves men very much, can't say anything about Tang Junyi's handsome face, but just shrinks aside, afraid that this uncertain man will attack her.
"You seem to be very afraid of this king. Is this king so scary?" Tang Junyi was drinking tea when he glanced at Wan Jiaojiao from the corner of his eye.
Wan Jiaojiao shook her head and nodded again, not knowing what to say. After all, it's all because of this man, their own home doesn't feel like a home anymore.
"Don't be afraid, this king is actually very easy to get along with. Besides, this time this king is here, I also have a gift I want to give you." Tang Junyi put down the tea bowl that had already bottomed out, and stretched out his hand with a smile that was not a smile. Wan Jiaojiao beckoned.
This made Wan Jiaojiao very puzzled and puzzled. After all, she and Tang Junyi had never known each other before. Even if she knew, she knew Tang Junyi. Tang Junyi didn't know her situation. This man would prepare a gift for her? How can it be.
But she couldn't refuse Tang Junyi, so she could only bite the bullet and walked over, asking her puzzled heart, "Your Highness and I are strangers, why did His Highness give me a gift? The little girl can't bear it." "Are you worried?
" I can afford it, I was bored when I came here, and I just wanted to hear people talk about this Minzhou, and there is one thing that I am very interested in. You little girl, you like Xu Ziqiao, right?" Tang Junyi propped his chin, After squinting and saying this sentence, the eyes she looked at Wan Jiaojiao were even more meaningful.
Wan Jiaojiao was startled, and quickly knelt down on the ground, "There must be some misunderstanding in this, the little girl is just the daughter of a merchant, how dare you go up to the Prime Minister, please don't make jokes, Your Highness." In fact, after she knew Xu Ziqiao It turned out to be the prime minister, and Lin Huiru was indescribably surprised when Lin Huiru turned out to be from the prime minister's residence.
That is the truth, overthrowing all kinds of bad things about Xu Ziqiao that Lin Huiru had fabricated for her, and she also fully understood the meaning of what Xu Ziqiao said that day.
That's right, his wife is the woman most admired by businessmen in the world, how could she not give him what he wanted, and as the prime minister, how could he be short of money, no wonder he didn't pay attention to their Wanjia's things inside.
"When did this king joke with you? If you like it, you just like it. You don't have to worry about the disparity in status. He Xu Ziqiao was just a poor scholar at the beginning. You were born as a rich businessman's lady. How could you not be worthy of it. The problem is, your method is still wrong, your maid has told me, no matter what you say, your sincerity can't impress him, right?" Tang Junyi leaned lazily on the chair, and didn't ask her to get up the meaning of.
Wan Jiaojiao bit her lower lip. Of course she would not give up on Xu Ziqiao. This man, no matter his talent or his current status and appearance, was the ideal person in her mind.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Tang Junyi chuckled again, "I have to say, that maid of yours is much smarter than you. In fact, if you don't force a person like Xu Ziqiao, even if he likes you, he will absolutely love you." I will hold back. Like Miss Wan, you have a graceful figure, a pleasing personality, and a pretty face, how can there be men who don't like it, so, you still use the wrong method.
" The dead ashes in Wan Jiaojiao's heart were lit up again, her eyes filled with hope, she looked up at Tang Junyi, and her heart was still a little vacillating, "Your Highness, you mean that Mr. Xu doesn't have me completely in his heart? "
This king may not be sure about this, but this king has a direct way to let you marry him, and saves the troublesome process of cultivating feelings." Tang Junyi played with the fan, opening and closing , The bad taste spread in my heart.
"Please tell Your Highness, no matter what, I want to marry Mr. Xu, even if Mr. Xu is not the prime minister, the little girl is also interested in me." Wan Jiaojiao knelt down to Tang Junyi again, her face full of sincerity. Right now, her Wan family is not far from downfall, so it's better to take advantage of this time to find a backer.
Tang Junyi didn't know why, because she laughed for a long time at this sentence, "You are quite courageous, and this king appreciates you very much. If that's the case, then I don't mind helping you." ...Now
Lin
Huiru The situation with Xu Ziqiao is equivalent to being under house arrest by Tang Junyi. After all, Xu Ziqiao's name is not right now, and they are not manned enough. This is not the capital city. If there is a conflict with Tang Junyi on the surface, maybe they will really Died in Minzhou.
Although they can still move around at will, they are all watched by Tang Junyi. The feeling of surveillance made Lin Huiru shut the door tightly in the room and scratched her hair in distress, "What should I do? , Tang Junyi came out halfway, seeing him like this, I don't know how to find him, this feeling is really annoying." "No way, I can only
stand still here, he may not dare Take the risk to kill us. But you can only take one step at a time, and this time you and I are in dire straits." No one can be more worried than Xu Ziqiao now.
After all, Tang Junyi is a man with plans, and it is not known whether he will make a big fuss about the results that will be reported, but there is no news about him being under house arrest here, and I am afraid that he will not even be able to help Qianyuan distinguish the accuracy of the matter. None, this trip to Minzhou is equivalent to a trip for nothing.
