Chapter 137: The Insider
"So, what do you mean - the Xu family can't guarantee that he won't retaliate against Grandpa Guo and collude with outsiders to harm him?"
Qin Fen nodded. This is the only possibility he can think of.
Qin Yue didn't think so.
If the old lady didn't worry about Xu, she wouldn't let her serve Grandpa Guo alone, and before telling her son the truth, she let Xu know that Grandpa Guo was stabbed and not sick.
The reason why she was driven to Zhuangzi back then was probably for other unknown reasons.
Judging from the old lady's words and deeds, she herself has problems, and since the Xu family is her dowryman, they should be the people who know each other best.
It is also common sense for the old lady to send her dowry maid to the bed of the grandfather of the country.
If Xu knew the two men in black, did that mean that the old lady and the man in black also knew each other......
Things seem to be getting more and more complicated.
First of all, several uncles of the Qin family died inexplicably, and then the massacre of Jinglong Temple, and the cruel and ruthless methods of those behind the scenes were outrageous, as if they had a hatred for everyone.
Qin Fen looked at her and couldn't help but say, "Fifth Miss, this matter is a little weird. Before the matter of Jinglong Temple is investigated, you should not act without authorization. ”
"Yes, I know. You have to be careful yourself, the other party is so ruthless that it is difficult to care about other people's lives. Qin Yue was faintly worried, those people didn't do anything to the people in the third room for the time being, it didn't mean that they would let go of the Qin family's guards.
Qin Fen replied and arched his hand and withdrew from the courtyard.
*******
The first early dynasty of Wan Xuan's seventh year. ushered in such a tragic event that shocked and angered everyone.
"Your Majesty, you must severely punish the murderer!"
"If he commits such a crime, he should be punished by the Nine Clans!"
"Catch the thief. Let him be punished by thousands of dollars!"
……
The voices of righteous indignation resounded throughout the court.
The emperor immediately ordered that Dali Temple should make every effort to thoroughly investigate the case, and the rest of the relevant departments should give full assistance, and martial law should be imposed at the nine gates of the capital, and a heavy reward would be offered to those who provided clues!
The whole capital suddenly became noisy, and all the gates in and out of the city had to be strictly inspected. From time to time, soldiers with weapons in their hands shuttled through the streets and alleys, and many dragon guards quietly entered and exited various Fengyue places to closely investigate the murderer.
The Qin family continued to close their doors. The old lady has an explanation. There is no important thing to go out, and the guards are guarding the various courtyards day and night, especially the defense of the east courtyard.
The Xu family still takes care of Grandpa Guo closely. After being tired for a while, the whole person lost a lot of weight.
Su kindly offered to replace Xu. was severely reprimanded by the old lady. He was punished to go to the bitter cold courtyard to copy Buddhist scriptures.
The old lady was angry when she saw her now.
So many things happened to the Qin family one after another, all after the Su family became pregnant with a freak. This woman is a evil star and a demon, who has come specifically to harm the Qin family. I knew that things would turn out like this, and I should have poisoned her in the first place......
The Su family was sad in his heart, and he also felt that the Qin family had suffered so many misfortunes because of himself. It is precisely because of this realization that I want to do something to make up for it, even if I am coldly regarded by the old lady, I have no resentment at all. Qin Yuan wanted to intercede for her biological mother. was stopped by Su Shi.
Su sighed and dragged his daughter to kneel down and salute the old lady. In the end, I went back to Qingli Pavilion to clean up a little, and moved to the bitter cold courtyard that night.
Of course, Qin Yue didn't think that the Su family was really an ominous person in the old lady's mouth. This is nothing more than superstition. But this time she didn't speak for Su. First, the old lady was under a lot of pressure, and she needed to find an excuse to vent. Second, the influence of the Su clan on Qin Yuan was too small. Although the Su family was Qin Yuan's weakness, they couldn't influence her wishes. Perhaps enclosing the Su family in the Bitter Cold Courtyard is the best way to restrain Qin Yuan.
There is constant news about Jinglong Temple.
There were one hundred and eight people in the whole temple, and except for Master Huijue and Mingguang who was rescued by the Qin family, no one was spared. Master Huijue disappeared and never showed up again after the tragedy. The various city gates stepped up the investigation of passers-by, and found many people of unknown origin, all of whom were imprisoned.
Under severe torture, many people died, and at the same time, some clues were asked.
According to the confession, the reason why Jinglong Temple was slaughtered was because Huijue Lao'er broke the agreement with the pavilion master, which was the price of his broken contract. The pavilion master wears a mask all year round, and few people see his true face, and even the men and women can't be heard in his voice. The disciples in the pavilion are all called by code names, and they all wear black clothes and black scarves to cover their faces when performing tasks, and they are not allowed to speak, so it is difficult to know each other. Once anyone breaks the rules of the pavilion, he will be crippled if he does not die, and no one is an exception.
Of course, correspondingly, the amount given by the cabinet is also quite high, and each person can get fifty taels of silver per month, which is equivalent to the annual income of an ordinary family. Because of this, more and more people are willing to join this organization. Usually do your own thing, once there is a task, you will naturally be notified, and then you just need to do what you are told.
In addition to these news, Qin Fen also heard a lot of inside stories.
This organization is called the Hidden Dragon Pavilion, and in addition to the pavilion master, there are several mysterious and quite important people in the Hidden Dragon Pavilion. To Qin Yue's surprise, Hui Jue was also a member of the Qianlong Pavilion, and later became a monk for some reason. It seems that even if he left home and became a monk, there was no shortage of troubles. This time the catastrophe of Jinglong Temple is the best proof.
Qin Yue faintly felt that this truth was a little cruel to him. She instinctively thought of the pearl hairpin that Huijue had given her. She once saw the ugly things between Yan Yuan and Queen Qin Li in that pearl hairpin, and she also saw the truth about the prince Fengzhao before and after falling into the water. That should be Qin Yue's previous life.
If you break another bead at this time, will you get the truth you want?
As soon as this thought popped up, Qin Yue's heart suddenly became restless.
She couldn't help but reach out and take out the bead hairpin from her arms, and held it in her hand and looked at it for a long time, but she couldn't make up her mind which bead to break. If you don't judge well, you will get a completely different result.
Qing Ying came over to invite her young lady to Wenxin Courtyard to accompany the third lady to dinner, just when she saw the fifth lady's stunned expression, and then looked at the pearl hairpin in the fifth lady's hand, her face suddenly turned white.
She understands the strangeness of the pearl hairpin best. And the vision she saw in the bead she accidentally broke last time was so shocking. In addition to her, it was her own lady who knew about it. What if Miss wants to kill her for the sake of secrecy......
"Miss, the third lady invites you over!" Qing Ying lowered her head and hurriedly said in a sincere panic.
Qin Yue let out an "oh", his thoughts were still entangled in which bead hairpin should be broken, and then slowly put away the bead hairpin and put it into his arms, "Let's go-"
Qing Sakura saw that her young lady didn't mean to kill her, so she breathed a sigh of relief. (To be continued......)
