The maid who fell to the ground softly had a dagger in her neck that reflected the faint cold light, and the maid died of exhaustion.

Chang Yifeng kicked the maid's body aside, and someone immediately came to clean it up.

He said in a deep voice: "He Si, you don't have to clean up, send the person back, and tell Miss Gu that our Qingye Palace will not accept her business in the future, let her do it herself." ”

"I thought that Gongzi was going to wash his hands in a golden basin," He Si said with a smile while picking up the maid's corpse: "The conditions offered by Miss Gu are not bad, although they are far away from Yunfu, but they are also from a small banner and can be hereditary, Gongzi really hasn't been moved at all?"

"Miss Gu is stupid, are you stupid too?" Chang Yifeng raised his eyebrows and sneered, "What is the reputation of our Qingye Palace in the rivers and lakes? ”

He Si glanced at Chang Yifeng and found that his face was full of ridicule, so he couldn't help but put away his jokes, and thought about the errand he had received recently from the Qingye Palace, and couldn't help but have a question on his lips.

"Childe, the transaction outside the gate, Mingyan Building has lost more than half of the manpower to enter, it stands to reason that at this time, we shouldn't have this muddy water again, but ......"

He Si raised his eyes and looked at Chang Yifeng, and didn't say any more words in his mouth, but the worry was clearly expressed on his face.

Chang Yifeng looked at the row of willow trees planted next to the teahouse, and the tender green buds had been pulled out of the branches, and the vivid colors added a little more vitality to the slightly barren official road.

There was a cold sneer at the corner of his mouth, which instantly added a bit of evil to his still handsome face.

"With short hands and soft mouths, our Qingye Palace can break into one of the best places in the rivers and lakes in just a few years, the reason for this, I don't say you don't know?" Chang Yifeng shook his head lightly, and knocked the folding fan in his hand on the railing of the teahouse for a while, "I don't expect to get out of the whole body, now I can make a fortune, and no one ......knows what will happen in the future."

As he spoke, he turned his head and glanced at He Si, his eyes were cold, "You have been following me for five years, if you are afraid, you will leave by yourself after this business is over, I can't give you the hereditary flag, but if you want to be incognito, I can still help you." ”

"What is this that Childe said!" He Si exclaimed in a hurry, "What does it matter if Childe doesn't leave and I leave alone?" Although I am not as strong as your martial arts, I still do what I can do before and after the saddle, not to mention that my life is saved by you......"

"Long-winded!" Chang Yifeng frowned impatiently, turned his head to look at the depressed scenery outside the teahouse, and the killing intent in his heart slowly calmed down.

……

Ningguo Mansion, Gu Manman was whipping the wooden stake, her beautiful face was full of resentment, the wooden stake was scattered under her whipping, and some places had cracked, and it was about to hang down continuously, and it was swept by the whip with a dull impact sound.

Several little maids were waiting tremblingly on the side, and even the sound of panting was afraid that it would disturb Gu Manman, and they lowered their heads one by one, as if they were afraid that their master's whip would fall on them in the next moment.

A young woman walked into the courtyard, holding a slightly large boxy box in her hand, and saw that Gu Manman was still beating wooden stakes, and persuaded softly: "Miss, you have been practicing for an afternoon, beware of practicing like this, your body will be broken, so let's rest." ”

Gu Manman raised his eyes and saw that it was her, and threw the whip in his hand casually: "I was just about to go to you! I asked you about the Qingye Palace before, and you said that they are among the best in the killer organization, why haven't they even made a movement after so many days? I have made nearly a thousand taels of silver!"

Hearing her complaints, the young woman looked at her with a smile: "The Qingye Palace is very famous in the rivers and lakes, it is not easy for them to take over your work, and some people may not be able to let the Qingye Palace take over even if they use the silver," she said and paused, holding the box in her hand in front of her," When I came back today, I happened to see He Si who came to talk back from the Qingye Palace at the main gate, and he said that they had messed up this business, and the deposit would not be refunded, and they brought back the balance of the money you asked Ah Huan to send, as well as this box, saying that their son specially gave it to you. ”

"Didn't you say that they are very famous, why can't this little thing be solved, and they can still be smashed in their hands!" Gu Manman snorted coldly, frowned and looked over, the box was made of the most ordinary paulownia wood, neither carved any patterns, nor painted any patterns, but only a layer of lacquer, with some unscattered wood mixed with lacquer, smelling pungent tight.

She casually complained while lifting the box, "I paid a deposit of nearly 1,000 taels, and I didn't even hear a sound of drifting, so it was gone, and I dare to say that the deposit is not refunded, I think they are tired and crooked...... Ahh

When Gu Manman saw the contents of the box, his eyes widened suddenly, and he screamed in surprise, and even the unfinished words were swallowed into his stomach.

——There was a bloody human head in the box, surrounded by Zhu Hai on the head, and that face was clearly the Ah Huan she sent!

She couldn't help but knock the box to the ground, and the human head rolled out, and the blood stained the thick green bricks in the courtyard, staining the green bricks with blood.

She took a few steps back, her eyes fixed on the rolling human head, and her brows furrowed tightly: "...... They, what do they mean?"

The human head rolled a few times before hitting the stake before stopping rolling, and the maids waiting in the courtyard could not help screaming when they saw this scene, and immediately scattered in all directions, far away from the human head.

The courtyard was suddenly in chaos.

"Shut up!" Gu Manman roared impatiently, and the noisy sound immediately stopped.

The box that fell on the ground was picked up by the young woman, and at the bottom of the box was a letter, which the woman picked up and handed to Gu Manman.

"There's a letter in the box. ”

Gu Manman stretched out her hand to take it, read it at a glance, her eyes were cold and scary, the nail that was quenched with impatiens juice pinched the letter paper was deeply grasped into the flesh, she sneered: "Okay, what a green night palace!"

Her eyes fell on the human head in the courtyard, and the human head that rolled down in front of the stake looked a little pitiful, the originally white face on the human head was now stained with the soft soil in the courtyard, and the hair bun was messy and the hairpin was loose, adding a bit of wolf bèi to that face.

Gu Manman strode over, the jade-soled embroidered shoes on her feet stepped directly on the face of the human head, and with a fierce force, the face was slightly deformed, she sneered, and kicked the human head away.

She is not afraid of living people, let alone dead people, and it is too ridiculous to use this trick to scare her!

She said viciously: "Useless thing! It's better to die clean than to live!"

She turned her face and said to the young woman, "Go and contact the Qingye Palace again, they want to leave the relationship with me lightly, it's not that simple!"

"Miss, the people of the Qingye Palace are not so easy to get along with, I heard that there are forces from the court behind them, you should be careful not to be involved......"

Gu Manman snorted coldly, and his beautiful little face was stained with a little viciousness, "What are you afraid of? My father is Ning Guogong, a close minister of the Son of Heaven, and my cousin is the crown prince, no matter how powerful the power above the court is greater than His Royal Highness the Prince? No matter how great the power behind him is, it angers me, and they can't eat and walk around!"

The young woman's drooping eyes were stained with a bit of ridicule, really speaking, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is only the cousin of Miss Wei's family, and Gu Manman's relationship is a little far away, and Ning Guogong will be suspicious of the emperor because he is too close to the Wei family, and the errand he received after the year is like making a mistake and being assigned to Chuangui, but unfortunately Gu Manman is still indulging in the dream that the prince is her cousin.

A cold cry interrupted the woman's train of thought.

"Manman, what are you doing here?" Gu Yi, who had just stepped into the courtyard, saw the human head rolling over at a glance, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, "What's going on?"

As soon as Gu Manman looked up, she saw her brother standing at the door, her eyes lit up suddenly, her voice contained a thick color of joy, and she called happily: "Brother, brother, are you back from the palace?"

She walked over quickly, looked at Gu Yi, and said with concern: "Brother, are your injuries healed?"

Gu Yi's injury has recovered enough to walk, sit and lie down, he has long been impatient to stay in the palace, after being diagnosed today, he said goodbye to Concubine Gu Shu, and returned home from the palace, but he didn't expect to see such a scene as soon as he entered the door.

He looked at Gu Manman's face full of joy, and held back the anger in his heart, "I'm fine, Aunt Shufei allowed me to go home to recuperate," he said, pointing to the human head with a not very good face, "Our family is already eye-catching enough, if there is another careless life, I am afraid that it will add more trouble to my father." ”

An annoyed look suddenly appeared on Gu Manman's face, "Brother doesn't know anything in the palace!"

She flicked her sleeves and turned back into the house.

Gu Yi reluctantly ordered the little maid to clean up the heads on the ground, and glanced at the young woman, "Ruyan, didn't I let you look at her? Why is she acting more and more out of order?"

Ruyan hid the ridicule in her eyes, and told the truth of the matter one by one, Gu Yi was furious.

He lifted the curtain and entered the room and said angrily to Gu Manman: "Manman, are you crazy? The matter between our family and the Xia family is the will of the Queen Mother, if you want to deal with them, you must not use such means, the Xia family has raised the third prince for so long, you are not afraid of ......" He paused at this point, thinking of the news he heard in the palace, he snorted coldly, "Anyway, the third prince's whereabouts are unknown now, whether he can come back is two words, but you are not allowed to do this kind of thing again in the future!"

"Brother!" Gu Manman looked anxious, "I've used all my money, you have to let me ......"

"No, it's not good!" Gu Yi was categorical and had a clear attitude, "I'm just back now, and I'll leave the matter of supporting the lintel to me, you take care of the middle feed at home, and wait for your mother's filial piety to find someone with the same door to marry, and in the future, your husband and children will have a smooth life, and you don't have to touch these pickled things." ”

Gu Manman still wanted to refute, so he heard Gu Yi shouting loudly: "Ruyan, take the eldest lady back to the room to rest!"
