The next day, Tai*Zifu received news: Xue Qing, the chief manager, was in a hurry and suffered from vomiting blood. A few days later, Tai *zi received Xue Qing's resignation, saying that Xue Qing was seriously ill and difficult to recover, and was not suitable for the position of chief manager, so he resigned. In addition, the position of the chief steward should have been passed down from father to son, but the son of the chief steward has been weak and mentally short since he was a child, and he is no longer suitable to serve the nobles.

Xue Qing is profitable, he is a reliable person, this resignation, of course, the Tai * son is reluctant, and repeatedly retained, and finally the new beauty Yan Wan who is being favored pleaded for mercy, and the Tai * son was released by grace, and rewarded a lot of property, and the chief official Li Cai sent it, and condoled on behalf of the Tai * son.

The chief official Li Cai came to Xue's mansion, and when he saw Xue Qing, he passed on the words of the prince: Recuperate in your hometown with peace of mind, and come back when you are well.

"Brother Xue just needs to recuperate with peace of mind, there are brothers in everything." Li Cai looked at Xue Qingmei, who was bedridden with a red cloth wrapped around his head, and said with a smile.

"Xue Qing Xie Tai * Zi's grace. There's Brother Lao Li. Xue Qing looked at Li Cai's smiling face and the green robe he was wearing, and knew that he was the head of the Taizi Mansion, and he was stabbed for a while, and felt more and more that Li Cai's smile was gloating. When he was ill, he took the initiative to give up the hereditary position of chief manager, didn't he give Li Cai a position? Of course, Li Cai was happy that he was not well ill. "Brother Li, does the prince still love Xinna's concubine?"

"Tai * Zi loves newcomers like pearls. The next day, he made an exception and was named the noble concubine of the eighth grade, and because of the poor service of the servant girls around him, he killed one and sold one. If a newlywed gives birth to a noble son early, he must be a concubine. Brother Xue has made a great contribution in this matter, but he blames this illness, it came at an inopportune time. Li Cai was happy in his heart, but on the surface he was full of regret.

When Xue Qing heard this, he was shocked. This impostor is also ruthless, and she didn't have time to do it on her side, she had already sent people away. If she doesn't find a way out early, she will not feel at ease, and she may not let go of herself who knows about it, even if she can't do anything to him for the time being, she will find an opportunity to start after she can't keep it, it seems that the rapid retreat is a thousand pairs. He had some regrets just now, but now he felt that the decision to escape was really wise.

Xue Qing was originally three points ill, but at this time, he also pretended to be ten points, pretending to be physically exhausted, and sent Li Cai away.

As soon as Li left, his eldest son said angrily: "Don't let go of the glory, wealth and great future, okay, which one is this singing!" ”

The old man retired, and the position of the chief manager of the fourth grade should have been his, but this is good, obviously the glory and wealth of the handle were easily lost, how could he not be angry? His face became more and more ugly.

"Bastard!" Xue Qing grabbed the porcelain pillow under his head and smashed it at his eldest son, "I don't know if the disaster is coming, how did I raise you stupid!" ”

His eldest son was not convinced, but he didn't dare to talk back, so he threw his sleeves angrily and left.

Xue Qing was so angry that he almost vomited blood. He couldn't say anything about his suffering, and he hated Yan Yu and Bai Yan even more in his heart.

He vomited that mouthful of blood that day, it was not a serious illness, but it was just a blood attack, and it would be good to vomit it out. didn't wait for two days, he immediately sent his henchmen to carefully track down Bai Yan's traces. The result of the investigation was that Bai Yan was on his way home with a black-faced and ugly young man. Xue Qing secretly hated, but he didn't dare to do it.

This Bai Yan first became famous in a ring competition held by a military camp half a year ago, and later was introduced to Xue Qing. After coming and going, Xue Qing found that Bai Yan's sword skills were strong, the characters were chic and outstanding, and his temperament was also calm. Bai Yan is even more witty and flexible, very capable, and rare is loyal and reliable, which won his trust and dependence. Everyone knows that Bai Zhuangshi is the confidant of the general manager. But he participated in the substitution plan, no, he was simply his mastermind.

He was sure that the ugly black boy who was with Bai Yan was the real concubine Yan Weihuan that Tai Zi wanted.

Bai Yan: This was planned for a long time. He came to him with a black and ugly young brother, and some people have seen him take this young brother around.

Xue Qing was sure that this young brother was pretending to be a stand-in beauty. deliberately pretending to be black and ugly, people don't want to see more, and it is not easy to find flaws. He must have taken this young brother to the Yan Mansion, and brought the beauty of the stand-in into the Yan Mansion in this way.

The guards will only keep a close eye on the movements of outsiders, who will check the henchmen of the chief manager? Once the stand-in is inside, everything falls into place. If it weren't for Xue Qing having seen the real Weihuan, I was afraid that he would be replaced at that time, and he would stay until the last moment, just to confuse his eyes.

Thinking of the scene of picking up people at that time, from Bai Yan's rude staring at Weihuan to Yan Yu's driving people, they were all acting! The purpose is nothing more than to make Bai Yan disappear in front of him reasonably, so that he can take Yan Nu away!

The more Xue Qing thought about it, the more angry he became. Bai Yan is his confidant, the customs clearance disc of the two was approved by his wife, and the person was picked up by him Xue Qing, and all the evidence points out that he Xue Qing is the mastermind of this Li Dai Taozhuang plan.

He was covered in mouth and couldn't speak. The person who made the plan must have planned to put all the blame on him, and if he succeeds in escaping, he will be able to push it on him if he fails.

Another wonderful thing about this plan is that even if Xue Qing knew about the straight appearance afterwards and wanted to protect the whole family, he could only admit the loss, that is, he didn't dare to make a noise, he didn't dare to stop it, and he had to help them escape when he was critical.

Now that I think about it, this plan started more than half a year ago, and the appearance of Bai Yan is also part of the plan.

What Xue Qing couldn't understand was that Bai Yan had been in the Middle Zhou Empire and had only traveled to Eastern Xia half a year ago. Yan Mansion has been seen again, how are they connected, and how do they promote the development of the situation step by step?

Although Xue Qing was angry, he was helpless, thinking of the day when things would be revealed sooner or later, he couldn't help but tremble. The impostor will not easily let go of the people who know her details, and it will be a disaster to stay here sooner or later, so he reluctantly handed over his resignation, and decided to move the family to live in the countryside of his hometown, hoping to avoid disaster.

On the day the chief manager moved, Yan Yu went to deliver it.

Xue Qing didn't think about it, but when he thought about this peak, life was impermanent, and he didn't necessarily beg him in the future, so he asked the housekeeper to take someone to the study.

After a while, Yan Yu and a man dressed like a long-retained person followed the butler into the study.

Xue Qing saw that Yan Yu was wearing a pale green embroidered emu robe, with a dark green veil, and remembered that Yan Yu had recently been promoted to the seventh rank of the Taizi Mansion, which must have borrowed the momentum of that imposter girl, it seems that this imposter did not forget his roots, and did not kill this fake brother, but promoted him.

Xue Qing couldn't help but secretly feel that it was really a wise move to see Yan Yu this time, but after all, he was put on a position, and his heart was not happy, and the smile on his face was faint.

"Congratulations to Your Highness. I haven't seen you for many days, I don't know if Your Highness is okay? Xue Qing arched his hand.

"It's fine. How is the boss? I wanted to fold the willows and send them away, but it was late autumn, the willow leaves were gone, and the delivery was also defeated. Fortunately, we are intersecting, mainly because of a heart, and the chief manager should not blame him for being rude. Yan Yu's attitude was as humble as ever, even a little humble.

But Xue Qingke didn't dare to underestimate him anymore, he had a prejudice in his heart, no matter how he looked at Yan Yu's smile, he was proud of the spring breeze, the more he looked at it, the more annoyed he became, and he couldn't help but grab his hand, pull it to the back of the flower and bird screen, and asked in a low voice: "I still can't understand, you and that Bai Yan have never been in contact alone, and you haven't seen each other, why did he help you?" And who planned all this? ”

Yan Yu's face was incomprehensible, and he said in fear and puzzlement: "What does the manager mean by this?" ”

"Humph! If you don't want to say it, I don't know it...... How is Sister Ling now? ”

"The sister is deeply loved by the Tai*zi, and the grace is flourishing, of course it is very good." Yan Yu Zhengse said, "Tai * Zi is willing to let Mr. Xue go, or the sister begged." I also met my sister a few days ago, and she said that she wanted to ask Mrs. Xue to take care of Mr. Xue, but she didn't want Mr. Xue to resign, and she didn't have a chance. The housekeeper felt the great grace of the chief manager, and she could not repay it, so she could only burn incense every day, and ask all the gods to bless the chief manager with peace in the world. My brother and sister, remember the chief manager. ”

Xue Qing was stunned, this is a threat, a blatant threat! If he doesn't know how to stay or not, I believe she will take care of him to death!

Xue Qing shook his hands angrily, and said for a long time: "Your sister looks like a demon, she is unconscious, and she is a misfortune wherever she goes, beware of the calamity that will affect you." As he spoke, he flicked his sleeves hatefully, and then shouted to the butler to send off the guests.

Yan Yu's attitude became more and more respectful, and he said with a deep salute: "The chief manager is in a hurry, I am afraid that there is not enough manpower, and the chief manager will be dispatched by the chief manager, and the chief manager should not be delayed." Yan Yu was grateful. ”

Xue Qing didn't want to accept Yan Yu's favor, but then he thought about it, this Chang Sui was afraid that he was coming to stare at him, and Yan Yu would not be relieved if he didn't see him leave, so he acquiesced to Chang Sui staying.

The house was moved, and it was too busy for a while, and it took a few days to move it all. After sending the last group of people away, Yan Yu's eldest follower Jingzi returned to the apartment sent to Yan Yu by Tai*zi and reported to Yan Yu one by one: "Xue's house has been emptied, and Mr. Xue has not been in contact with anyone close to Tai*zi. ”

Yan Yu nodded, praised him twice, and rewarded him again before letting him retire and rest.

As soon as Jingzi left, Yan Yu hurriedly left the apartment. After a few circles in the streets and alleys, he walked into an alley, walked to a black gate, opened the lock hanging on the door, and walked in.

In the courtyard is a low house. Yan Yu walked straight into the room, the sky was already slightly dark, he didn't light the lamp, and walked straight into the inner room.

There is a bookcase on the narrow floor of the inner room. In addition to the four treasures of the study, there is also a large pigeon cage on the bookcase. A pigeon with white feathers and a red beak tilts its head in its cage to look at Yan Yu.

Yan Yu first opened the window, and added some wheat grains to the food box of the pigeon cage, teasing and luring the white pigeon to eat, but the white pigeon turned its head proudly and paced around in the cage, ignoring Yan Yu.

Yan Yu chuckled and said, "Xiaoyu, don't worry, count the days, they are almost at the border, Xiaoxue should come back today." Don't be angry, you have to eat something to have the strength to wait for it. ”

The white pigeon did not know whether he understood his words, or whether he was really hungry, and slowly paced over and pecked at the wheat grains in the food box.

It wasn't until it was dark that Yan Yu lit the lamp, and there was a soft sound outside the window, and a pigeon with the same white feathers flew in, and as soon as it landed on the table, the white pigeon raised a foot to Yan Yu with a noble posture. A small thin bamboo tube is tied to its small red paws.

Yan Yu untied the bamboo tube and opened the door of the pigeon cage with one hand, and the new white pigeon immediately jumped into the cage, and the two pigeons cooed softly, as if they were pouring out their feelings after parting.

Yan Yu opened the small bamboo tube and pulled out a silk as thin as a cicada's wings, and four words were written on the silk: pass the customs tomorrow.

There was no payment, but Yan Yu knew who wrote it.

Yan Yu put the silk piece on the candle flame and watched it slowly turn to ashes, a reassuring smile spread over his handsome face.

I'm going to pass the customs tomorrow, but my brother only wishes you peace and happiness, and it is his responsibility as a man to restore his family and country, and he doesn't need it, and he doesn't bother to exchange it for his sister.

Yan Yu pondered, took out another piece of brocade silk, and began to write a text message.

After writing, he rolled the brocade silk into small rolls and stuffed them into a small bamboo tube, sealed them with wax, and turned his head to look at the pigeon cage, where two snow-white carrier pigeons were sleeping next to each other. Let them sleep, anyway, there is no hurry, but after passing the border pass, it will take two or three months to reach Yecheng, the capital of the Great Zhou Emperor, at the earliest, and during this time, Xiaoyu and Xiaoxue have enough time to catch up with them.

Yan Yu looked at the two carrier pigeons. They sleep peacefully because they have returned to their home, a safe and warm place. But what about my sister?

There is a friend with the pseudonym Bai Yan to send him, and he will pass the border tomorrow, but Wan is temporarily safe now, but what about the future? A beautiful girl has no reliable family to rely on, and she can't be at peace anywhere.

Yan Yu almost immediately decided what to do. He resolutely placed the small bamboo tube on the table, unfolded the letter and began to write another letter.

I respectfully ask my uncle and aunt Jin An......

After writing the letter, he picked up the paper and blew on the ink that had not dried. No one knew that he had been in contact with his long-lost aunt during his study tour in the Middle Zhou Empire. At that time, his aunt hugged him and cried, and her affection for each other was beyond words. His uncle also kept him to find a good way out for him. He refused at the time. After returning to Dongxia, in order to keep this secret retreat, he never contacted his aunt. Now is the time to use this retreat, presumably my aunt will take care of my sister in the face of her deceased mother.

The handwriting on the letter paper is as strong and clear as Yan Yu's determination.
