"Uncle, take a look, this good silver ingot has been prepared for you, shouldn't you also send someone over!" Huo Wu looked at Qi Laohan's unpromising appearance, his face was full of disgust, but he greeted him very politely, he likes people who see money like this, the more people like this, the more silver he can earn.

When Old Man Qi heard this, he took a deep breath again and again, and it took a long time for him to come to his senses, and he nodded with a smile: "Old Five, don't worry, that stupid boy has already arrived at our realm, and you are still worried that he will be able to escape!"

"Uncle, what do you mean by this?" Huo Wu asked with a slightly gloomy face.

The rules in their village, this has always been to hand over money with one hand and hand over people with the other, and now that he Huo Wu has taken out the money, Old Man Qi said that he is not in a hurry, which can't help but make Huo Wu, who is suspicious by nature, have some bad guesses.

But before he turned his face and scolded his mother, Qi Laohan had already said: "That stupid boy is a master with some knowledge, although he looks stupid, but he is not as easy to deceive as those farmers who have never gone out, after a while, you go back with the old man, and the old man will say that you are doing work in the city, and it just so happens that the two of you go into the city together, doesn't this also save you effort!"

"Uncle, it's still your clever trick!" Huo Wu said with a little joy on his face when he heard this.

With Qi Laohan's clever trick, Huo Wu, who had been holding the tray and not letting go, also pushed the tray full of silver ingots to Qi Laohan with a smile, the big guys are all villagers, and he is not worried that Qi Laohan can roll up the silver and escape.

However, Qi Laohan didn't just stuff the silver ingots on the tray into his arms and take them away......

Although he really wanted to pocket the silver immediately, he was worried that Honghui would think too much about the silver when he saw it, and saw through the double reed that he and Huo Wu had set, he endured the desire and excitement in his heart, asked Huo Wu to take back the silver, and said in a low voice: "When you lead him away tomorrow, wrap the silver in a bag for me, in case he lets him see it, I'm afraid it's not good." ”

After speaking, he discussed the words with Huo Wu carefully and confirmed that there were no flaws, and then got up to leave.

Huo Wu enthusiastically sent Qi Laohan to the door, and also instructed his mother-in-law to put some good wine and meat in a food box for Qi Laohan to bring, and send him far away in a while, and then returned to his own home and arranged for him to enter the city tomorrow.

Suppress the ill-fated Honghui and don't mention it, let alone the fourth master in Beijing.

The fourth master handed over the jade pendant that Erfu gave him to Chen Fu, and arranged for Chen Fu to discuss with Bai Jiao of Xuancai Fang about finding Honghui, and then got up and walked to the west courtyard.

After all, Honghui's body flows with the blood of the Aixinjue Luo clan and the Wulanala clan, and now Honghui is in danger outside, it is reasonable, he needs to say hello to the one in the west courtyard, and the Wulanala clan is quite powerful in the court, and the Wulanala clan helps to find Honghui, which is also conducive to him finding Honghui faster, but he forgot that there is a saying that people are more bad.

The Wulanala clan is prosperous, and there are many branches, but the relationship between the various houses and branches is not so harmonious, and those who are closer to the Wulanala clan of the first Fujin want to have a closer relationship with the Siyefu Mansion as much as possible, and wholeheartedly help the Siye to gain more voice in the court, which is mainly based on the patriarch of the Wulanala clan and the Changfang Yanzhi.

On the contrary, there are many people, and some of them are important ministers in the court.

When the fourth master and the Wulanala clan explained the news of Honghui's disappearance in Jiangnan, the Wulanala clan quickly sent a letter of help to the elders of the clan, after all, her manpower outside the mansion was only concentrated near the capital, and there was no way to go thousands of miles away to find Honghui's traces, and she didn't trust those people under Erfu, and the only people who could rely on her were those relatives who were connected to her blood.

It's just that she also ignores one point, her shell parents are not her parents.

She changed her core, no longer the Wulanala clan Ruixi, and became the first Fujin Wulanala clan with the name of the Wulanala clan Ruixi, and cared wholeheartedly about her biological bloodline Honghui, but in the minds of Ruixi's parents, the existence of Honghui, the eldest brother, was a burden to her, and it was also an obstacle to her further, how could she wholeheartedly help her to find Honghui!

In fact, not only Ruixi's parents think so, but many people in this branch to which Ruixi belongs, they all think so, Honghui's body is flowing with the blood of the Wulanala clan, but it is still necessary to separate relatives and be estranged from each other, and if the clansmen of the first Fujin branch exist, they will always be ranked behind.

If it was before, it didn't matter, when something happened, they followed with some effort, and when there were benefits, they couldn't fall behind them, and they didn't expect them to work hard for Honghui, who let them not have a girl in this branch who could fly on the branches and become a phoenix, who let Honghui's bloodline not be close to them.

But now it's different, the side Fujin in the Fourth Master's Mansion is from their branch's cousin Gege......

Their Ruixi Gege looks beautiful and refined, with a gentle and gentle temperament, compared to the fourth master's first Fujin, it is not the same, and they are younger, and their bodies are more healthy, and they are side Fujin when they first enter the house, if they are pregnant with the blood of the fourth master and give birth to Lin'er, they are obviously more promising than Honghui, who has not been invited to be the son of the world at the age of discussion, so why don't they add fuel to the fire and make room for the little brother who has not yet been born.

When the letter for help written by the Wulanala clan was sent back to Ruixi's mother's house, everywhere moved.

It's just a pity that their goals are not the same as those of the Ulanala clan, and it's no wonder that the Ulanala clan didn't guard against them, because even the fourth master never thought of this problem, after all, Honghui's body flowed with the same blood as them.

Besides, after Chen Fu found Bai Jiao to discuss, Bai Jiao frowned in embarrassment.

This is not Bai Jiao's prevarication, it is really beyond his power, the branches of Xuancaifang are blooming everywhere, but those small counties and towns like Honghui's disappearance are still places that Xuancaifang has not been involved in, after all, the purchasing power of these small counties and towns is limited, and Xuancaifang is a high-end route, so the branches of Xuancaifang are mostly concentrated in the economically developed, rich people, and convenient transportation.

However, Chen Fu and Chen Gonggong of the Fourth Master's Mansion came to the door with their own owner's cards, and she could not shirk it, after explaining her own difficulties, she wrote a handwritten letter and arranged for various branches near the county where Honghui disappeared to help find it, and also wrote letters to some local relatives of Xuancaifang, so that Chen Fu could more easily mobilize manpower to find Honghui's whereabouts.

When Chen Fu got a stack of letters, he was not embarrassed by Bai Jiao, and got up and left.

Bai Jiao personally handed over a piece of entanglement that had been prepared a long time ago to Chen Fu and Chen's father-in-law, and personally sent him to the door, watching Chen Fu board the departing carriage, and then turned around and returned to the private room on the second floor.

She sat at the table with a deep brow, and in front of her was a neatly arranged pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.

"This foolish proprietor is taking such a thankless errand on himself!" Bai Jiao wanted to write a letter to scold her own too-soft-hearted proprietor, but when she picked up the pen, she never put it down, because she knew that no matter what she said, her soft-hearted proprietor would not change.

Discouraged, she dropped the pen on the paper, allowing an ugly ink dot to smear on it.

In fact, he will be so willing to guard the owner's property, work hard to operate, and refuse to follow the advice of his mother's ill-intentioned relatives to stand up for himself, and it is also grateful for the kindness and benevolence of his own owner, when he was desperate, his own owner picked him up from the street, and took out such a large sum of money for his weak woman to operate, so that she could become a famous female shopkeeper in Beijing.

That's it.

Bai Jiao rudely clumped the stained letter into a ball, threw it into the hollow paper tube on the table, shook her head with a smile, picked up the pen again, and recorded the conversation between herself and Chen Fu after meeting, carefully received the secret grid, and only when there was a chance later, she handed it to Erfu for a look, so as not to let Erfu, a kind-hearted owner, be kept in the dark and someone would take the opportunity to splash a basin of sewage.

Don't look at her, she has never lived in the inner mansion of a famous nobleman, but she knows all the pickled things in these mansions, some of them are leaked when Erfu pours bitter water with her every day, and some are revealed by the famous ladies who came to Xuancai Fang to buy and buy, in short, it is a mess, as long as you are in it, no one wants to pick out your own one, a little negligent, and she was immediately involved in all kinds of troubles.

Bai Jiao thought about her owner's heart, which was a little softer than dough, and she had to do it.

I have to say that it is precisely because of Bai Jiao's carefulness that Erfu really escaped the various traps carefully constructed by the people of the Wulanala clan and escaped the black cauldron where Honghui was killed.

Chen Fu took Bai Jiao's handwritten letter, returned to the mansion all the way, and after seeing the fourth master, he directly sorted out his belongings, led the two errand runners who were accustomed to his hands, and set off on a southbound merchant ship.

Just three days after he left Beijing for Jiangnan, the news of Honghui's death returned to Beijing.

The news of death was sent back to Beijing by the officers of the FZ Coastal Bureau, and the cause of death was also strange, neither suicide, nor homicide, but DU, and the place of death was also absurd, it was actually in a fishing village that made a living from fishing, it was originally an inconspicuous murder case, if it weren't for the local government office, the government found a piece of jade pendant on Honghui's body, which was carved with a double dragon pattern dedicated to the royal family, and Honghui's name, the local officials did not dare to make a decision, I am afraid that the news would not be transmitted to Beijing!

At this time, Chen Fu had not yet arrived in Jiangnan, so he directly diverted to the coastal area of FZ.

He traveled all the way in a rather secluded courtyard, saw the body of Honghui preserved with ice, and after a cursory examination, it was confirmed that the cause of Honghui's death was a rare royal secret medicine among the people, and hurriedly transmitted the news back to Beijing, and at the same time escorted the body back to Beijing.

At this time, the fourth master's mansion in Beijing was also completely chaotic.

The Ulanala clan went crazy when she got the news of Honghui's death, she really didn't even hesitate, and she wanted to put the charge of murdering the royal bloodline on Erfu's head, after all, among the people who searched for Honghui's whereabouts, except for her people from the Wulanala clan, were Erfu's subordinates.

Erfu is also helpless, she lent her manpower to the fourth master from the day she was transferred, she was worried that she would be contaminated with such trouble, in order to avoid suspicion, she continued for several days, never left the door of the mansion for half a step, and strictly restrained the palace maids around her, even Xiaoqi and Hongyu were detained in the mansion by her for many days, but the Wulanala clan still wanted to buckle the black pot on her head, how could she let it go.

She wanted to explain in a hurry, but the fourth master locked herself in the study from the day she learned of Honghui's death, and she couldn't even see the person she wanted to explain...... In short, in the end, it was as if someone had seen Erph instruct someone to assassinate Honghui.

At this moment, Concubine De in the palace called her into the palace.

For Concubine De's summons, Erfu was surprised and delighted, happy that someone was willing to listen to her explanation, no matter whether she could suppress these rumors from the outside world and the house, she could finally let her say what was in her heart and pour bitter water well;

However, despite the surprise, the summons of the palace lady was a decree that Erfu did not have the ability and qualifications to violate, and she smiled bitterly and left a message to the eunuch to have tea in the hall, and hurriedly went into the inner room to dress up and change clothes.

Erfu sat in front of the half-man-high dressing table, looking at her bloodless self in the bronze mirror, and her smile became even more bitter.

"Master, it's better for the slave to beg the master, this matter has nothing to do with you, why should you grieve yourself!" Shilan looked at Erfu, whose hands were a little trembling, and proposed distressedly, in her eyes, only the master could save her master at this time.

It's just that Erfu shook her head indifferently, and said with a smile: "No need, it's a matter of the clear and self-purifying, if you go to ask the fourth master at this time, others will think that I am weak-hearted, and besides, Niangniang has always been wise, and she will not be bothered by those rumors from the outside world, so don't worry about these things, hurry up and dress up for me, it is also a trouble to delay the time to enter the palace!"

After speaking, she looked at the poetry beside her and whispered a few words.

In a certain case, this can be regarded as her last words, in case she is really unfortunate to become a victim of this house fight, there must always be a reliable person to take care of Xiaoqi and Hongyu for her, Shilan is stable and poetic, and she can feel at ease with them taking care of her in the house.
