Brother Wanfu

Chapter 17
The back alley of the Qin Mansion, where servants live together.

On weekdays, in the noisy and noisy alley, it was unusually quiet today, with some uneasiness in the silence, no one dared to speak loudly, as if they were afraid of disturbing something.

There were also a lot fewer people coming and going, but in a place where no one was paying attention, there was a skinny young man who changed into the clothes of ordinary people in the city and walked out of the back alley of the Qin Mansion along the wall.

He turned around in the city and arrived at the Firework Alley. At the back door of a secret door, he knocked on the door a few times. The courtyard was quiet, and then there were footsteps approaching.

The door opened, and the person inside stuck his head out. Unfortunately, it was the one who got a bag of silver coins from the breakfast stall and continued to work for the Xing family.

He was surprised to see the skinny boy outside the door.

"What are you doing here again?" The man inside the door said, and chased him away, "I've already given you money, don't ask me to ask for it after you've spent it all!"

The boy stared at him, "You only said that I asked me to throw that book into the garden, but you didn't say that you wanted to harm Madam!"

He suddenly lowered his voice, "Madam, Madam, I'm afraid I won't be able to survive this time. The master and young master are going to conduct a thorough investigation. I can no longer stay in the mansion. You have to arrange for me to escape quickly!"

The people inside the door were shocked when they heard this, and while asking, "Mrs. Qin really can't make it through", they pulled the boy in and closed the door tightly.

They didn't notice that under the wall outside the door, someone's feet were as light as a feather, and they quietly stuck to the door.

There are secret doors in the fireworks alley, and there are people from all walks of life, and the people inside the door are just temporarily settling for the fireworks girls.

He pulled the boy behind a tree where no one was around, and before he could ask a few more questions, the boy became anxious.

"Ma'am, it's really going to happen, you don't know, the Qin family is dead now, everyone dare not even breathe, you didn't say it was such a big deal at the beginning! Otherwise, I won't do it no matter how much money you give me! "

The insider snorted, "You don't want to double it again?"

He looked at the young man, thinking that the young man must be swayed by this number, but he didn't want the young man to firmly shake his head.

"You haven't seen the methods of the Qin family, especially the eldest son. Just let me die with this number? Just dream!"

The little boy hated it more and more, "Anyway, I'm not leaving, you can find a way for me!"

After he finished speaking, he slapped his butt on the ground.

The people inside the door thought that he was just afraid, and they also hesitated seeing the situation.

He talked a lot of good and bad words with the boy, but seeing that it was completely useless, he couldn't help being anxious.

"Okay, let me ask first, and I'll talk about what to do later."

Hearing this, the young man suddenly raised his head, "Who are you going to ask?"

"Don't worry about it!" The insider snorted and narrowed his eyes, "If you want to save your life, the less you know, the better."

After finishing speaking, he changed into unremarkable clothes and went out. Two quarters of an hour later, three identical wine flags were hung in front of a tavern.

The man sat in the tavern and waited until it was getting dark. He turned around and went out through the back door, and went around to the Guandi Temple in the city.

*
Qin Mansion, Xifeng Pavilion.

Fu Wen called out outside the study, his voice softer.

"Master, the fish is hooked."

There was a reply from the study.

"Ah."

*
Guandi Temple.

The person who lives in the secret door is wearing a brown robe and a scholar dressed as a scholar waiting in the main hall of Guandi Temple.

He arrived at the agreed time, but after waiting for about two quarters of an hour, no one came.

At this time, the sun was about to set from the west mountain, and the number of people burning incense and worshiping the gods in the tall and wide hall gradually decreased, and the tall and wide hall gradually became deserted.

The insiders couldn't bear it anymore, and couldn't help wondering if the wine flag they had hung up had been seen.

Just as he was hesitating, the familiar sound of walking suddenly sounded. His heart moved, and he looked up to the left rear of the statue of the Patriarch of the Sanqing.

Behind the layered yellow mantle embroidered with talismans, the dress fluttered, and someone came forward with graceful steps.

The eyes of the person inside the door lit up, and he quickly greeted him.

"cousin!"

He walked up to the woman in two steps, and looked up at her pretty face that was half covered.

It's Huang Ling!
At this moment, Huang Ling used a veil to cover the bridge of her nose, but she saw that the person inside the door looked unfriendly, and even called that person by his first name.

"Wu Liang, why are you looking for me all of a sudden?"

Wu Liang, the insider, was still following Huang Ling's face, and was asked by her disgusted taste, so he led her to the woods behind, and told Huang Ling about the servant while walking, and asked Huang Ling along the way.

"Is Mrs. Qin really dying?"

At Huang Ling's words, the unhappiness on his face finally dissipated a little.

"It's not going to work. It's useless to even invite five doctors. At most," she raised her eyebrows with a happy expression, "Let's wait for another two or three days."

Upon hearing this, Wu Liang said, "Congratulations to my cousin for getting what she wanted. Once Mrs. Qin leaves, cousin must be the first choice for Commander Qin's bedside!"

After serving Qin Guanzhong for so many years, as the big maid in the study of the outer courtyard, she should have become Qin Guanzhong's No. 1 pillow.

The corners of Huang Ling's eyes couldn't help but bend up, but Wu Liang would pay more attention to the boy's affairs now.

"This matter is indeed not strict enough. If the Qin government catches him, it will be troublesome."

Huang Ling also knew that it was rough.

But she was not sure at that time that the medicinal food recipe in the hands of the concubine in the outer room must have come from the hand of the former maid Lu Wanying, so she temporarily arranged to test Mrs. Qin. She never expected that Mrs. Qin immediately I recognized the handwriting, and then vomited blood in a rage, but now I can't do it anymore.

Thinking of this, Huang Ling glanced at his cousin Wu Liang.

"That boy is right, he can't go back to the Qin Mansion, so let him go to a safe place."

As Huang Ling spoke, her voice became a little ethereal.

Wu Liang was taken aback, and instantly understood what she meant.

"Okay, I will definitely do it for my cousin."

To win over Huang Ling, as long as Huang Ling spreads some news, the Xing family will have a steady stream of money for him.

Wu Liang was delighted.

He agreed, and Huang Ling nodded in satisfaction.

This cousin is more thoughtful, but he can do things well.

The two had their own thoughts, and when they were about to leave after finishing their work, the woods suddenly seemed to be swept away by a strong wind, and a group of people descended from the sky, surrounding the two of them.

Wu Liang wanted to resist, but a sword was placed on his neck.

Huang Ling's face turned pale with shock, and she stepped back, only to hear someone laughing behind her.

"Miss Huang Ling, do you think you can escape this time?"

Huang Ling looked back in amazement, and saw an unsheathed sword, and Fu Wen, the personal guard of Xifeng Pavilion holding the sword.

Huang Ling's face turned pale instantly.

*
Qin's secret prison.

Fu Wen wiped off the blood on his hands, tightened the sword around his waist, got on his horse, and returned to the Qin Mansion from time to time.

Qin Shen's entourage, Lian Zhou, who had been the chief steward of Xifeng Pavilion at a young age, was at the gate of the courtyard.

Seeing that Fu Wen's bloody aura had not dissipated, he frowned.

"Young master is in the study, are you sure you don't want to change your clothes and see you again?"

Logically, it was time to change clothes, but Fu Wen felt that it was more important to talk about things first.

He glanced at Lian Zhou, "Only you care about it, does the young master care about this?"

Lian Zhou rolled his eyes speechlessly, watching Fu Wen enter the study.

However, Fu Wen still paid attention to keeping some distance from the eldest son, and explained the matter neatly.

"Huang Ling has already admitted that this is indeed what she did."

Fu Wen thought of Huang Ling, the maidservant who had always been thoughtful and had been with the master for more than ten years and had always been loyal, going crazy when she was in the secret prison just now.

It was pitch black, except for a dim light from a small lamp on the wall.

Huang Ling's pretty face twisted into indiscernibility, cursing Mrs. Qin's life expectancy loudly.

"Don't she deserve to die? She has occupied the master for so many years, shouldn't she deserve to die? Because of her, the master never touches the woman next to him, and he doesn't even take a second look. I have served the master for so many years, and I always think of the master, but The master has always regarded me as a servant, no different from being in charge of a servant. Is this normal? The master is about to be overwhelmed by her! Only when she dies can the master feel better, and I can change my identity and continue to serve the master."

At that time, Huang Ling was talking, and became more and more crazy, "Lu Wanying can do it, why can't I? Isn't Lu Wanying also born as a slave? Didn't the master have a daughter with her, but he couldn't enter because of that jealous woman?" Mansion. Lu Wanying was boiled to death by her, I can't be boiled to death by her, I want to give birth to the master, you let me go! Let me go"

Obviously, Huang Ling only knew one thing but didn't know the other.

But at that time, Fu Wen didn't want to speak out about Huang Ling's insane state to spoil the young master's ears.

He told how Huang Ling ordered his cousin, and how he found a servant in the mansion to steal the recipe of medicinal diet and threw it on the road that his wife must pass, from beginning to end.

Qin Shen's expression didn't change after hearing this, but he just asked another question.

"What about Liao Shun?"

Hearing this, Fu Wen's expression turned a little serious.

"This is also at the mercy of Huang Ling, especially when Mrs. Liao happened to see her brother's body and screamed, it was Huang Ling's design. But she couldn't possibly know about Liao Shun's body, so her subordinates focused on her cousin Wu. Liang, I didn't expect that this Wu Liang was the one who was recruited by Xing Landong to contact Liao Shun. When we arrested Liao Shun, he was in Zhucheng, but he escaped very quickly and was not discovered by our people."

So it was not only Qin Shen's people and Qin Tian who knew that Liao Shun's body was on the hill outside Zhucheng, but also Wu Liang.

Fu Wendao, "Wu Liang has already found someone, and Xing Landong has been asking him to find a way to buy Huang Ling. It's just that Huang Ling is really loyal to the master, no matter how much money is tempted, he never reveals the important things of the master. During the incident, let Wu Liang do something for her."

Of course, if the bad things were not discovered and both Huang Ling and Wu Liang were captured, then Huang Ling would have a handle in Wu Liang's hands, and he would not be far away from betraying Qin Guanzhong.

Although this is not the case now, it also caused my wife to almost die.

The so-called news that Madam has died is nothing more than misleading words, Madam is not critically ill, but due to the change of Chao Yunxuan's status, her mood is stable and gradually getting better.

"I don't know how to deal with these three people?" Fu Wen asked in a low voice.

In the quiet study room, Qin Shen pondered silently for a while.

"Not urgent."

As soon as Fu Wen left, the bloody smell that seemed to be absent in the study also dissipated.

Lian Zhou tactfully entered the study and opened the window for Qin Shen.

The wind outside the room blew in, bringing with it the warmth of the spring day, circling around the study, smelling the fragrance of books and ink, and finally brushed Qin Shen's cuff meekly.

Qin Shen propped it up with one hand and rubbed between his brows.

These two incidents have nothing to do with Qin Tian.

He couldn't help but think of that night when she stood helplessly among the bushes in the main courtyard, not knowing whether to go or stay, but when she saw him approaching, her face paled almost visibly with the naked eye, eyes full of tears. All panicked, like a rabbit seeing a black hawk hovering overhead.

He seemed, indeed, to scare her.

　good night
