Red makeup against the world

Chapter 642 The Chess Game of Confrontation
Cheng Jinghao had no idea what the crime of murdering his first wife was.Now that the confession is with Liu Qiran, it means that his life is in the hands of the other party, how dare he play any tricks.

Hearing that he spoke hastily, Liu Qiran patted Cheng Jinghao's side with his whip in his hand, and said with a smile, "Be more happy! Since the Lord invited you to drink, what are you doing with a sad face?"

Cheng Jinghao groaned in his heart, how could he be able to laugh at this scene.But he was really afraid of Liu Qiran's methods, so he forced a smile that was uglier than crying.

After looking at him, Liu Qiran frowned slightly, and waved his hand in disgust: "Go! Just know what to do. Don't stay here, you will be upset when you see him."

Hearing this, Cheng Jinghao bowed and said goodbye again and again as if he had been pardoned.Fearing that Liu Qiran would change his mind, he walked to the yard in a few steps, and he didn't want anyone to wait on him. He led a horse out by himself, got on the horse and hurried away.

Gao Yi couldn't help laughing when he saw him running away.Such a mouse dared to threaten him just now?After bidding farewell to Liu Qiran, he also untied the rein and rode his horse after him, wanting to watch him go all the way back to the Marquis of Anping before giving up.

Liu Qiran looked at the confession again and again, and hummed the unknown slang song in time with the beat of his feet.It took only half a day for him to complete the matter that his wife had told him, and he couldn't help but feel a little proud.

After carefully folding them up and putting them close to his chest, Liu Qiran drank the tea on the table in one gulp and pushed the door out.

"Master, are you leaving now?" Seeing him coming out, the old man in the yard rushed out to greet him.

"En." Liu Qiran nodded, and casually tipped him a few pieces of silver: "Bring my horse here."

The old Cangtou got the silver and hurriedly put it in his arms, his face was overjoyed.These few pieces of broken silver are enough for his family for several months.

After leading Liu Qiran's horse, the old man graciously helped him onto the horse.When Liu Qiran led the people away, the old man locked the courtyard door tightly.

He knew that he would have a good and clean life in the future.It's hard to find such idle jobs now, as long as the yard is cleaned carefully every day, and some noble masters from Beijing are prepared to be happy, he doesn't care what happens in this yard.

When Liu Qiran returned to Beijing, it was time for all the doors to be locked.He stepped into the Pingguo mansion, thinking about going to bring Cheng Jinghao's confession to his wife tomorrow.

……

It's getting late, Zhongguo's mansion is far away.

After dinner, Xu Wanzhen and Tu Manzhen went to the East Wing to inquire about Tu Manfen's medication status, and then sat down for a while, telling her to rest well, and then went their separate ways.

The lights were lit in the courtyard, Wu Zhengxiang strode into the room, stood by the dressing table, and said, "I have some business to go out tonight, and I don't know when I will return home. Please rest in peace, and I won't disturb you." After cleaning you up, I rested in the outer courtyard."

At this time, Xu Wanzhen's hairpin has been removed, and her waist-length hair is scattered on the light blue silk pajamas like a waterfall. Under the quietly burning candlelight, her face becomes more and more radiant like jade and ice. Muscle and bone.

Hearing this, she stood up worriedly, looked at him and said, "What's the danger?"

When I saw him for the first time, he was injured and avoided pursuing soldiers.Seeing the large and small scars on his body after getting married gave Xu Wanzhen an intuitive understanding of his danger outside.But, isn't it already Xiaoqiwei, why is he still performing missions at night?
Wu Zhengxiang stroked her satin-like black hair, and said, "Don't worry. It's not a dangerous mission, it's a matter for the mansion. I'll tell you when it's settled."

Whether the Wu family chooses the prince or the king of Qi depends on the result of tonight.Before that, he didn't want her to worry in vain.

Xu Wanzhen nodded, it was not easy for him to reveal these things.After all, he has grown up since he was a child, and he has been fascinated by the practice of the man leading the outside and the woman leading the inside. If he wants to discuss everything with himself, there is still a long way to go.

Stretching her arms around his wasp waist, Xu Wanzhen raised her head and looked into his starry eyes: "For me, Yizhi, you must be more careful in what you do."

"Don't worry, I will proceed with caution."

After explaining to Xu Wanzhen, Wu Zhengxiang quickly returned to the front yard.But instead of going back to the study room, he walked around among the rockeries and arrived at an inconspicuous depression.

He listened intently, there was no sound around, and then squatted down and unscrewed a stone pier on the ground, revealing the entrance of a secret passage the size of a person, jumped in, and covered the entrance again.

Although the secret passage was narrow, it didn't feel stuffy.The fresh air leaked from an unknown gap, and there were still spots of light.Wu Zhengxiang took a few steps quickly, and arrived at a slightly spacious space. He changed into night clothes, tied a treasure bag around his waist, hooked claws, covered his face with a scarf, and emerged from another exit of the secret passage.

This exit, however, is among several big trees, and not far away is the courtyard wall of Duke Zhong's Mansion.Waiting for the hands of the night watchman to pass by as usual, Wu Zhengxiang jumped up and disappeared into the night.

It was not dark at this time, and the gate of the square was locked, so there were naturally no pedestrians on the street.But the Qinlou Chu Pavilion, the casino and other places are brightly lit.

The soldiers and watchmen on the night watch walked by talking and laughing, and it was not yet the moment when they were most vigilant.Although there are more people to avoid right now, for Wu Zhengxiang who has perfected his martial arts, it is naturally extremely easy.

About half an hour later, Wu Zhengxiang arrived outside Qi Wang's mansion.

When he was a "shadow", King Qi was one of the few important people he monitored, and Wu Zhengxiang had already been familiar with the terrain of his residence.

After listening for a long time, he figured out the rules of the night watch guards, then took out his claws and put them on the courtyard wall, and passed the three-foot-high wall silently like an eagle, and landed lightly on the ground, heading towards the study room where King Qi was. and go.

According to the information he collected, at this time, King Qi was still in his study and had not returned to the backyard.From this point of view, he is much higher than the prince.If he ascends the throne in the future, he will also be a diligent emperor.

King Qi was sitting behind the desk, closing his eyes and meditating.

Recently, I had a few confrontations with the prince, either for an official position, or for a case, and the rivalry of his subordinates. The two sides won and lost each other, which made King Qi a little tired.

Although, before he made up his mind to participate in this competition, he knew that it was an uphill battle.But this back-and-forth seesaw not only consumes the mind, but also kills the fighting spirit.

He lay back slightly. Although the mahogany high-back chair was strong, it was really uncomfortable.But that's the discomfort he wanted.The hard pain from the joints allowed him to think calmly.

Prince Guan Jinghuan has Fang Shuyu himself.

In terms of talent and learning, Fang Shuyu is even better than Guan Jinghuan.But Guan Jinghuan has been in a high position for many years, deeply rooted in the court, and far more powerful than Fang Shuyu, who has only been immersed in officialdom for more than ten years.

These two are evenly matched.

However, where should we solve this confrontational chess game?
