Chapter 414: Killing
"Champion Hou went to Xie's house in Baiyun Town?" After hearing the spies' reply, Wang Xian Ling immediately sent someone to deliver the news to Governor Li's mansion. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ info
Governor Li got the news and called his staff to discuss.
"Mr. Han said, does Champion Hou's actions today have any deep meaning?"
The staff member known as Mr. Han was a lean old man with a goatee, and when he heard this, he stroked his beard and said, "We have already investigated the Xie family in Baiyun Town before, and it is an ordinary family. Qiao Zhuo was friendly with the Xie family before his death, and the Qiao Xie family became world friends, and it is not surprising that the champion Hou came to Jiafeng and visited the Xie family. β
"It's not surprising to visit Xie's house, but it's a little weird for Champion Hou to sneak there early in the morning, and I always feel that something is wrong. β
"It's normal for adults to feel this way, there is a reason for any change in a person, and the student suggests that you might as well stare at it again, after all, you just went to visit the Xie family in Baiyun Town, and it is difficult to guess the plan of the champion Hou. β
Li Zhifu's face was dark, and he looked at Mo Ju placed on the windowsill and sighed: "I'm afraid that the champion Hou Ming will repair the plank road and secretly Chen Cang, and go to visit the Qiao family's old friends is fake, and explore the truth of the Qiao family's fire." β
Speaking of this, Governor Li smiled coldly: "Didn't the account book presented to the emperor by the eldest prince of the Qiao family be obtained from an old friend of the Qiao family, it was really careless at that time, and let the eldest son of the Qiao family escape, for this, the official received a lot of scolding." β
"So this time we're going to keep an eye on it. β
Governor Li nodded: "I can't relax." Fortunately, the Xie family is just an ordinary family, and the eldest son of the Qiao family did not visit the Xie family before and after the Qiao family's fire, which shows that with the level of the Xie family, the Qiao family and his family are not deeply involved, and it is difficult to say about the others. β
"My lord, the Zhu family in Jiafeng City should pay special attention. The Zhu family's Ding Weiqian and Qiao Yushi were colleagues and served as inspectors together. β
Hatred flashed in Governor Li's eyes: "Qiao Mo left Jiafeng to visit a few old friends, so he was suspicious, and I estimated that the account book was obtained from the Zhu family." Fortunately, the frightened horse surnamed Zhu fell to his death, and even if they went, they would run in vain. β
"Don't be careless, that matter is not trivial, do you know if the dead Zhu Yushi has left a backhand?"
Murderous intent appeared in Governor Li's eyes: "It's a pity that the Qiao family was caught by fire, which inevitably attracts people's attention, it is not good to uproot the Zhu family, who wants to send away the Qin Cha from the capital, and the champion Hou is here again." I shouldn't have worried so much if I knew I wouldn't have done itβ"
"Don't be impulsive, adults. Now the champion Hou is in the light, we are in the dark, and it is the champion Hou who is confused, not us. If you do something to the Zhu family at this time, it will let him find traces. β
Governor Li nodded: "Mr. Han is right, first send someone to keep an eye on the champion Hou, if he just visits the Qiao family's old friends, if he has other ideas, once he finds out something, he will do it immediately!"
"Champion Hou is not easy to deal with. The staff stroked his beard and said.
Li Zhifu sneered: "Two fists are hard to beat four hands, the champion Hou didn't dare to take people south this time, as for the others, they are just embroidered pillows, no matter how capable he is, send more people to boil him to death!"
The staff was a little worried: "That movement is too big." I think it's best for adults to hurry up and say hello over there, even if you want to use people, don't use people on our faces. β
"Of course, when I received the letter from the capital, I didn't just deliver a message to that side, and the people who wanted to come there were almost here. Governor Li had a headache when he thought of this, and said with a gloomy face, "If you get to that point, you have to coax the Jinliang Guard, it's really troublesome, I hope the champion Hou knows each other better, don't make so many things!"
The capital said that he will be able to be rated as a first-class official after the exam next year, if he is not forced to be unable to do anything at this critical moment, who wants to play with fire?
Thinking of this, Governor Li's gaze became even more gloomy.
Qiao Zhao and the others gave up their plans to continue to visit the world friends because they got the oil paper seal from the Xie family, and returned to Baiyun Village early.
It is easy to put on the human skin mask, but it is difficult to take it off, Qiao Zhao raised his hand and pulled it, tearing his face so painfully that even tears were about to flow out.
Shao Mingyuan was amused and distressed when he saw it: "Zhaozhao, what are you anxious about?"
"I'd like to see what's in the oil-paper envelope earlier. Can't this human skin mask be taken off directly?"
"Steam it in hot water. Shao Mingyuan said and walked to the kitchen to bring a basin of hot water, and advised, "Steam your face with hot air for a quarter of an hour, and then you can take it off." β
Qiao Zhao nodded, lowered his head and approached the basin, thinking that someone was watching from the side, he suddenly felt a little awkward, and said sideways: "General Shao, you go back first, and when I take off the human skin mask, I will look for you." β
Someone sat upright.
"General Shao?"
The young general sighed helplessly: "Zhaozhao, this is my room. β
The smile took in the girl's embarrassment, and the man was quite aggrieved: "Where do you let me go?"
Qiao Zhao lowered his head and ignored him.
A quarter of an hour was very short, but it was a long time for Qiao Zhao, and when she finally got through to the end, she straightened up.
Shao Mingyuan suddenly got up and walked over, half-squatting in front of her: "Don't move, I'll help you take it off." β
Qiao Zhao blinked, and was about to object, but the man said again: "There are also special methods of taking, you take it bluntly, in case you tear it up and leave half of it on your face-"
Qiao Zhao simply closed his eyes, out of sight and out of mind: "Take it quickly." β
Shao Mingyuan chuckled lightly and slowly leaned over.
He raised his hand and landed on the girl's smooth forehead, and the girl's curled eyelashes trembled.
He didn't hesitate any longer, and carefully removed the human skin mask, revealing the face engraved in his heart.
"Okay?" Qiao Zhao opened her eyes and suddenly found that the man was close at hand, and the other party's breath was wrapped around her, ambiguous.
Qiao Zhao's face was hot, and he suddenly avoided it.
Shao Mingyuan quickly supported her with his hand, and said with a low smile: "Beware of falling, I'll just go away." β
The young general obediently walked to a chair not far away and sat down, very confused in his heart.
Obviously, when he didn't know that she was Zhao Zhao, Zhao Zhao often stared at his lower abdomen, why did he avoid him like a snake and scorpion now?
If Miss Qiao knew General Shao's thoughts at this time, I am afraid she would have sneered: Needless to say, the man's thick skin is outrageous, if she is still like before, wouldn't she be eaten and wiped clean by the other party.
Qiao Zhao rubbed his face, relieved the discomfort of wearing the human skin mask for a long time, and stretched out his hand: "General Shao, open the things that Xie Shibo gave you and take a look." β
Shao Mingyuan took out the oil paper seal, and when he opened it, there was a blank letter inside.
Qiao Zhao took it, put the blank letter paper to his nose and sniffed it, pondered for a moment, and said to Shao Mingyuan: "General Shao, please bring candles." β
Shao Mingyuan took the candle, Qiao Zhao held the white paper and carefully roasted it on the candle, and saw a sketch faintly revealed on the white paper.
