Chapter 87

The carriage didn't go far, Xu Chunjun said: "I remembered, I'm going to visit the third aunt first, and send a message for the second sister-in-law."

The coachman turned his horse's head and walked towards the residence of Xu Lang and Chen Qin.

Chen Qin has not lived in the Hou's Mansion for so many years, but he has built a small and quiet courtyard by himself, and lives in seclusion for a few days away from the school, teaching as a profession.

He and Xu Lang reunited after a broken mirror, and cherished it even more.

He didn't want Xu Lang to go back and be restrained, so he stayed here all the time.

It was cold today, and the school only lasted half a day, so the students were told to go home.

At this time, Xu Lang and his wife were watching the snow through the window, drinking and talking and laughing.

Hearing that Xu Chunjun was coming, he hurriedly asked him to come in.

"I disturbed my aunt and uncle's pleasure." Xu Chunjun apologized with a smile.

"What's not elegant, I'm only happy when you come." Xu Lang took Xu Chunjun's hand and let her sit by the fire.

She looks so radiant now that she looks ten years younger.

"There's nothing going on at home now, why don't you stay here with your aunt for a few days, she will talk about you several times a day." Chen Qin also admires Xu Chunjun very much, because she has the shadow of Xu Lang back then.

"Auntie, Uncle, I'm here to discuss something with you." Xu Chunjun said, "I came out behind someone's back, I'm afraid I can't stay today."

"Just tell me if you have anything to say." Seeing Xu Chunjun say this, Xu Lang knew that if it wasn't for something urgent, she would never come here so rashly.

Xu Chunjun then told about Wei's asking her to redeem Xu Daoqing.

Xu Lang frowned when he heard this, and said, "Daoqing is really getting worse and worse, and the third sister-in-law just blindly protects her shortcomings. It's really inappropriate to ask your girl's family to show her face. How can there be any good people in that kind of place?"

"Actually, it's not the first time I went to a gambling room to redeem people," Xu Chunjun said, "but this time I felt something strange, so I came to discuss with my aunt and uncle."

"What are you talking about?" Chen Qin asked, "Is there something hidden here?"

"The reason why I was asked to redeem someone last time was because the third brother was caught cheating in a gambling shop and wanted to chop off his hands. This time, his youngest son said that he only owed 200 taels of silver. Although I don't I went to the gambling house, but I also know that this place can keep accounts. Besides, although our family is not considered a high-ranking official, we can run away as a monk and cannot run away from the temple. Why do you have to redeem someone with only 200 taels of silver? It’s okay for Xiaoyao’er to take the bank note. Or the third wife’s most trusted mother, Lu, can also handle this matter.” Xu Chunjun analyzed.

"What you said makes sense, but why do you have to deceive you?" Xu Lang asked.

"I don't know very well, but the third elder brother is very proud recently, because he has made friends with powerful people." Not only heard about Lvshi, Xu Daoqing would also reveal a thing or two on weekdays, Xu Chunjun couldn't help but Suspicious, "I don't know, why do those people want to make friends with him? What exactly are they trying to do?"

Both Xu Lang and Chen Qin are not stupid, and there is no need to say a lot of things in front of them too clearly, and they already understand this very well.

They all knew about Xu Daoqing, he was a prodigal son, besides, the Xu family only worked as a small official in the capital now.

What is the purpose of those powerful people making friends with him?Of course, there must be some conspiracy, otherwise why bother with him.

"Of course, I'm probably overthinking." Xu Chunjun slightly lowered his head and smiled, "That's why I want to ask my aunt and uncle to help me with the details."

"I also think it's not right, why don't you bring that little boy in and ask about it." Chen Qin said.

"Wait a minute," Xu Lang stopped, "This youngest must know something. If you interrogate him first, I'm afraid you will startle the snake."

"But if we send someone there, we will also startle the snake." Chen Qin said.

He could send out a few capable people here, but if there was really a conspiracy over there, he would naturally not use them after seeing these people.

"Unless someone pretends to be Lord Chun," Xu Lang said, "lead the snake out of the hole and see what kind of medicine they sell in the gourd."

"It's not difficult to pretend to be me, because I will definitely cover my head and face when I go there, as long as my body is about the same size as me." Xu Chunjun said.

"I think Ah'Ban is good enough." Chen Qin said, "He was in the theater troupe when he was young, although he is taller than Chun Jun, it is not obvious."

The A'Ban Chen Qin mentioned was one of his schoolboys, who almost starved to death when there was a drought in Xiangyang.He was rescued by Chen Qin on the way to escape from famine. Because he is smart and loyal, he has been by Chen Qin's side for so many years.

He is also in his early twenties now, but his figure is considered thin among men.

What's more important is that he is very good at swordsmanship. If Chen Qin goes out for a long time, he will definitely take him by his side as a bodyguard.

A thick layer of snow had already fallen outside the door, the coachman and Xu Daoqing's youngest son waited impatiently outside.

I agreed to go in and say a word, and then I came out. Why has it been so long and I haven't seen anyone?
The shadow of the sun had already moved to the west, and because the sky was overcast, I could only see a reddish sphere, not much bigger than a full moon.

The coachman was better, usually wearing thick clothes, but the little boy was so cold that he bowed his shoulders and kept rubbing his hands, then he just jumped out of the car and ran around the car.

Finally hearing the sound of the door opening, Xu Chunjun was wearing a veiled hat, and Zi Ling helped her out.

"Won't Miss Lvshi get in the carriage?" asked the coachman.

"Grandma Sangu left her for something, so I'll pick her up when I come back." Zi Ling said helping Xu Chunjun into the car.

Watching their car gradually go away, and then several people followed.

The carriage arrived at the back door of Heshun Casino, and there were already people waiting there.

"Which one of you has the final say? Come in with me." Waiting outside the door was a woman with a big waist.

"Our young lady is here, and she has the final say on everything." Xu Daoqing's youngest son said to the woman.

"Then come in and talk! Pay the money with one hand and release the person with the other." The woman opened the door and walked in.

Xu Chunjun and Zi Ling got out of the car and walked in after them, and then the door was closed.

The fat woman walked in front, turning around and leading Xu Chunjun and Zi Ling into a room.

"You go in and wait first, I'll call the boss." The woman pushed the two of them into the room a little rudely.Then the door was slammed shut and locked on the outside.

"Why lock the door?!" Zi Ling desperately knocked on the door inside and questioned.

But no one answered at all.

This room didn't even have a window, it was dark and cramped, and there was only one oil lamp, which was flickering.

Zi Ling couldn't help but hugged her shoulders tightly, shivering suddenly.

A chill ran from the soles of her feet to her forehead, and she felt like a prey caught in a trap.
