Chapter 6 Ducks to the Mouth

Xiangping Mansion.

A very unremarkable house with tall walls but extraordinarily simple, gray stone bricks revealing the dilapidation of a long time.

But when he entered the courtyard, there was something different.

Pavilions, terraces and pavilions, arch bridges and flowing water, exotic flowers and plants, like gardens in the south of the Yangtze River, are exquisite and elegant everywhere.

In a luxuriously furnished hall, Prefect Hu was dressed in an official uniform, kneeling on the ground tremblingly, dripping with sweat.

He is over forty years old, looks dignified, elegant and refined, but at this time he has no elegance, and tears are flowing.

"Master Hou, how dare a subordinate official do such a thing as stabbing a knife in the back at the sight of wealth. The subordinate who killed you and robbed you of your money would not even dare to give the subordinate a hundred courage..."

Marquis Yongping was in his fifties, lean and with a beard.Although he is a civil servant, he is upright, but his eyes are like tigers and wolves at this time, and they are terrifying and sinister.

He gritted his teeth and looked at the kneeling man on the ground, wishing he could chop him with a knife, eat his flesh, and drink his blood.

He has carefully planned for a long time, he must have a reasonable explanation to the emperor, he must deal with all kinds of political enemies who are eyeing him, and he must take into account his overall situation.

He thought he had made a perfect plan, just waiting to take advantage of the night to slaughter all those who stood in his way of wealth, and then transport countless gold, silver and jewels out of Xiangping Mansion, and deliver them to Yongcheng, the capital, without anyone noticing. Pinghou Mansion.

But he waited all night in the courtyard of Prefect Hu, but he didn't wait for his subordinates to report his safety letter.

In the end, they waited for the news that all the dead soldiers had been killed and the Chen Mansion had been ransacked!

The hawk pecked at the eye of the hawk!

Marquis Yongping suddenly got up, and asked viciously, "You know this, I know it, who else could it be if you weren't behind the scenes? Already!"

Prefect Hu couldn't explain clearly, but the horses and chariots transporting the treasure happened to be released from the city overnight by his confidants.

They thought those chariots and horses belonged to Marquis Yongping!

"Master Hou, you know how many catties and ounces you have as an official. How could you have such a great ability to kill a good man under your command. Master Hou, think about it, is someone in Beijing targeting you?"

Marquis Yongping paced back and forth.

Although he hated Prefect Hu for this matter, he also knew that he didn't have that much courage and ability.Those killers have been carefully trained by myself for many years, and they are all good at skills. They are not the ones that ordinary people can kill quietly.

And if Prefect Hu wanted money, he could just copy the shops in Chen's house and it would be enough for him to eat.

So, who is it?

Yongping Hou thought about all the top officials and forces in the court, and roughly delineated a few people.I will only find out after returning to Beijing.

If this matter leaked out, the consequences would be disastrous.And Chen Youning who escaped is the biggest hidden danger.

He stood still in front of Prefect Hu, "The Miss Chen family will not disappear out of thin air, even if I dig three feet into the ground, I will find the person. If you want to see the person, if you want to see the dead body!"

It's fine if the money is gone, if Chen Youning doesn't die, the wealth and wealth that is within reach will be gone!
Prefect Hu repeated his promise, and got up from the ground, "I'll do it right now!"

Marquis Yongping looked at Prefect Hu gloomyly, "Take care of your mouth, and be careful that misfortune comes out of your mouth."

"The subordinate understands!"

Prefect Hu retreated tremblingly.

Yongpinghou clenched his fists tightly, suppressing his anger, and forced himself to calm down.He, Wen Boshi, always takes one step and sees ten steps, how could this little change mess up his position.

He squeezed his fist again and again, but in the end he couldn't help but thump the case hard, his money!silver!

The duck that reached its mouth just flew away, how could he swallow this breath! ——
The three of Han Youning headed north all the way, and arrived at Luping Mansion at noon on the third day.

The journey was fairly safe, presumably Marquis Yongping hadn't found her yet, or maybe he was tripped by the man in black.

Luping Mansion is in the north of Xiangping Mansion, close to the Zhan'an River waterway, which runs through the north and south, with prosperous commerce and many escort agencies.

There is a big escort agency in the bustling area of ​​Fucheng, the Weixing escort agency, the front door is majestic, and even the handyman seems to be a practicing family.

In the previous life, after Yuniang's death, it was the bodyguard of Weixing Bodyguard Bureau who rescued Han Youning.They picked up a bodyguard going to the capital. On the way, they happened to meet Han Youning who was killed. After saving her, they took her with them. It was an extra bodyguard.

The receptionist was a modest and polite middle-aged man who claimed to be surnamed Zhang and was in charge.

With a glance, he could see that Han Youning was the master.

The girl has a beautiful face and beautiful eyes, even if she disguises herself as a man, it can't hide much of her color.Going out for a walk, a woman who is too good-looking is the most likely to cause trouble.

He smiled and asked Han Youning, "I don't know what kind of goods the young master is going to escort? Where are you going to send it?"

Yuniang smiled and sat next to Guanshi Zhang, "We, mother and son, are going to visit relatives in the capital. We are afraid that the road will be unsafe, so please escort us with your bodyguard."

Steward Zhang glanced at them calmly again, "The rules of the Weixing Escort Agency, when accepting the escort business, you must ask a few questions first. What are your identities? Are there enemies chasing you? Who is the enemy?"

Han Youning didn't know that they still had this rule, Lu Qi and the others didn't ask about it back then.

None of these three questions can be answered truthfully.Although the Weixing Escort has the reputation of being chivalrous and righteous, it is full of officials and gangsters. The people in the Escort are also mixed, and their whereabouts will be leaked if they are not careful.

Yu Niang reached out to touch Guan Shi's hand, and suddenly realized that Han Youning reminded her that she was a woman from a good family.

She withdrew her hand stiffly, took a sip of tea, and then suppressed her restless hands, "Oh, we orphans and widows can have any enemies, but it's a long journey, and I'm afraid there will be bandits on the road. What's the origin? , we are nothing but common people, you wouldn’t even recognize us if we told you.”

Zhang Guanshi smiled, "Shengdou Xiaomin can't afford to hire an escort agency. The escort to the capital costs at least five hundred taels to as many as tens of thousands of taels. During the period, he also has to manage the escort's top-notch carriages and horses, which consumes a lot of money." what."

Yu Niang snorted, "Don't be a dog in the office...cough to see people through the crack of the door, Shengdou Xiaomin also has rich people. Our master left early, and our orphans and widows have been tricked by the second room. Otherwise, why go so far away to seek refuge with relatives..."

Zhang Guanshi just smiled and said nothing.

The meaning is obvious, do not explain the origin of the enemy, do not pick up the darts.

Han Youning asked, "I don't know if Chief Lu is in the escort agency now?"

Guanshi Zhang pointed out the window. In the courtyard, there was a burly man with a bearded face, shirtless, waving a big knife in his hand, and sweating profusely.

"He is, the young master recognizes him?"

Han Youning was puzzled, the Lu Qi she recognized was a man of style, with a handsome appearance and a bit of elegance in his chivalry.

That Lu Qi was flying the banner of the Weixing Escort Agency all the way. The escort flag was in gold letters on a black background, which was exactly the same as the one hanging at the entrance of their escort agency.

She exclaimed, "I heard from a friend that there is a majestic escort head in the expensive escort agency. I saw it today, and it really lives up to its reputation."

Turning her gaze, she saw a tall, resolute middle-aged man outside the living room door, with restrained eyes, talking to a bodyguard in a low voice.
