Chapter 169: Doubts

They had just left Kyoto with their front feet, and so many things happened with their back feet, and if it was a coincidence, these things would be too coincidental. The more I thought about it www.biquge.info the more I felt that these things must not be simple, so that Uncle Lian and the third shopkeeper left the study, and Xiao Chu's eyebrows did not loosen, but became deeper and deeper.

The tightly locked eyebrows, even the complexion is gloomy, because of Miss Qing's temperament, so seeing Xiao Chusu's tightly locked eyebrows, Xiang Zhu couldn't help but ask softly: "Miss, but do you doubt these things?" ”

"Hmm!" Responding lightly, Xiao Chu said in a slighted voice: "Xiangzhu, is it possible that you don't realize that these things are too coincidental?" ”

"Coincidentally? What does the eldest lady refer to? ”

"Normally, when we were in Kyoto, we didn't make any of these incidents, why did we just leave Kyoto, but we had some troubles in a row. Uncle Fu is also the old man of our family, this wife and children, the old and the young are all in the Xiao family, even after so many years, they should have taken root in the Xiao family. I haven't heard Uncle Fu mention the matter of the ancestral family on weekdays, how come this time we go back to Cangzhou to worship the ancestors, this unheard of hometown has also had an accident, and they have to hurriedly ask them to resign and move back to the family, how can there be such a good thing in this world. ”

Wang Fu's matter made Xiao Chusu feel very suspicious, even Daoyan's eyebrows never let go, and he said softly, and Xiao Chushu said under the mutter: "There is also that maid, there are quite a lot of people who sell their bodies to bury their fathers and daughters to support their families, but Uncle Lian has always been very attentive to this piece, if it weren't for the really clever girl, he would definitely not buy the Xiao family." And this clever and happy girl, who can be seen when she goes out. Uncle Fu had just resigned on the front foot, and Uncle Lian on the back foot saw a favorite thing in the market, which was too smooth, and he didn't think it was too coincidental? ”

Indeed, the more I think about it, the more I feel that this is wrong. But my father didn't say that the maid who bought the house and her father and mother are habitual thieves, and they wander in rich families all year round. In the name of a maid, he entered the house to steal and steal property. ”

"Uncle Lian said that the maid and her father were thieves, and you believed it?"

"What does this mean, Miss?" A little puzzled.

"Don't forget, this statement was not said by your father, but the conclusion reached by Han Ye after ordering someone to investigate it strictly. Who is this Han Ye, the current King of Ease, if he really has the intention to help someone, it will be fake, and it will only be true in the end. ”

It is for this reason that after Wen Hanye helped solve this difficult matter, Xiao Chuxuan sighed, "It's better to be a relative of the emperor."

Xiao Chushu's words made Xiang Zhu understand his intentions, and when he understood it, Xiang Zhu responded: "In this way, the maid who entered the mansion is not as simple as an ordinary thief girl. ”

"If you are really a greedy woman, if you don't go anywhere, you will enter my study. What I have in this study, nothing is empty. Our Xiao family is not as good as any yard, there are more valuable things there than in my study. If that maid is really the master of knowledge, she will definitely not come to my study to look for treasure. Besides......"

"Say anything more?"

"Besides, she is really an ordinary thief girl, she has the ability to blend into the Xiao family, does she still have the ability to let Uncle Fu's family leave the Xiao family? These two things are piled up together, and there must be ghosts. I'm afraid that someone has fallen for the treasure in my study, and specially found a way to send Uncle Fu's family away, and then tried his best to send the thief girl into the mansion, in order to steal the treasure from me while we are not there. ”

At the moment, only this explanation makes the most sense, and when he heard Xiao Chu's words, Xiang Zhu's face was also condensed. Frowning slightly, Xiang Zhu said: "In this way, someone deliberately did it, and I am afraid that the matter of the cloth workshop going to the water is also evil." ”

"It must be a villain, no doubt." Snorting coldly, Xiao Chu said coldly: "I may still have to worry about others, but who is the third shopkeeper, his cautious demeanor is clear to you and me." The most taboo in the cloth workshop is to walk the water, and the three shopkeepers are the most attentive, and they have been holding the cloth workshop for two or three years, which day these are not his personal experience, and there has never been a disaster. It's good now, we just left Beijing, and it's just that something happened in this house, and there was water on the cloth mill. As if they wanted to catch fire inside and out, Uncle Lian and the third shopkeeper were scorched and messed up. ”

Some things, if you think about it, the more you think about it, the more terrible it is, and the color below has already turned a little white, Xiang Zhu said: "In this way, someone wants to take advantage of the eldest lady's absence in Kyoto to secretly collapse our Xiao family." ”

"Now it seems that there is no doubt about it."

"But who is so vicious, using such indiscriminate tactics?"

Business has always been a battle between the open and the dark, either others secretly collapse you, or you openly annex others. No matter who you are, as long as you get involved in this business, you will gradually get used to this routine. The Xiao family is the head of the four houses in Kyoto, and the first-class leader among the merchants in Beijing. The wealth is big and the business is big, and there are not many people who are jealous of this open and secret.

In the past, the Xiao family was not a business material, and others were too lazy to deal with the Xiao family, anyway, the Xiao family had a few young masters from the losers, and the defeat was only a matter of a few years. But now Xiao Chusu, the iron lady's wrist, not only forcibly re-supported the Xiao family's business, but even began to cut off the things in the mouths of others.

The most taboo thing for a businessman is that others spy on his money, and if someone has such a mind, he will inevitably be secretly calculated.

Xiao Chu is good at doing things, so no one dares to play these thoughts when he is in Beijing, but now that the head of the family is not in Beijing, who is happy to miss such a good opportunity. I'm afraid that the person who already had this intention in his heart also took advantage of the maneuver.

Use the maid to harm Uncle Lian, and then let the cloth workshop go away, and the lawsuit will be entangled in the detention of Uncle Lian, so that you can deal with the three shopkeepers wholeheartedly. The thief behind him obviously moved this thought, and the point attacks were broken one by one, and it was always easy to deal with the two of them in one breath.

The thief is indeed cunning, but unfortunately he was afraid and didn't expect that this matter would be taken by the King of Ease, but he also directly lifted him with a good game of chess.

This time, I really owe Han Ye a lot of favors, so Xiao Chushu also remembered this love. But at the moment, I don't have the heart to return the favor, because the most important thing at the moment is to find out who is secretly thinking about it compared to returning the favor.

This is the enemy in the open and the dark, and it is the most unfavorable to myself, and I feel a little uneasy at the moment, Xiang Zhu said: "There are so many merchants in Kyoto, the enemy is in the dark and I am in the light, who did such a thief?" ”

If you don't know who did it, you want to be careful, and it's hard to think about it.

Although the Xiao family is a great cause, and Xiao Chusu is now acting with an iron fist, it is also because Xiao Chusu has always insisted on mutual benefit in doing things, and everyone earns money together. Therefore, although she swallowed the things in the mouths of others, because she also brought a lot of profits to people, she got along well with various businesses in Kyoto.

Now the Xiao family and many merchants have more or less intertwined interests, if something happens to the Xiao family, this layer of interests will be broken. The most important thing for a merchant is silver, and as long as there is money to be made, it was something that was not pleasing to the eye before, and now he can become friends with it.

Money is the foundation of peaceful coexistence with each other, so with this layer of interests as the premise, Kyoto may still do it to the Xiao family in private, and those who have the ability to do it to the Xiao family, there are only one or two.

Although he answered Xiang Zhu's words, Xiao Chusu's heart never stopped. All kinds of thoughts are entangled in the heart, and it is a little clear under some guessing.

Because I have guessed a few points in my heart, I even have a smile on my lips. Every time the eldest lady has such a smile on her face, Xiang Zhu knows that the eldest lady must have figured out something. At the moment, Xiang Zhu asked in a low voice: "The eldest lady has a spectrum in her heart?" ”

"Yes! It's not 100% certain, but it's not far off. ”

"So, what is the eldest lady going to do now?" After receiving the inquiry, Xiao Chu smiled and said, "How, of course I pulled the fox's tail first." ”

After speaking, the person smiled, and his face showed a little deceit because of this smile, so he hooked his hand and motioned to Xiang Zhu to step forward, and when Xiang Zhu leaned over and attached his ear, Xiao Chuxuan whispered a few words in Xiang Zhu's ear.

Since someone wants to collapse the Xiao family, Xiao Chusu naturally can't sit still, although that person is really secretive, this Uncle Lian's matter and the incident in the cloth workshop are clean, and no one can find out what is wrong. However, Xiao Chusu was still keenly aware of who was trying to frame the Xiao family this time.

After all, in today's Kyoto, there is such a festival with the Xiao family secretly, and even the festival is so bad that it wants to collapse the Xiao family, and if you have the ability to destroy the Xiao family, then there are one or two. Although he had some speculation in his heart, Xiao Chusu was not busy acting, but first instructed to go down and wait and see what happened, even if he really wanted to move, he had to grab the fox's tail first.

Because of Xiao Chuxuan's orders, the recent vigilance is also everywhere. The outside is calm, but at home, there is a lot of excitement outside.

Chu Ning went down the mountain this time because of the ancestor worship at home, and because of the accident of ancestor worship, he complained to the head of Tiansheng, and now that the matter of worshipping the ancestors has fallen, Chu Ning returned to Tiansheng as soon as possible and continued to study martial arts.

If this is left in normal times, there is no need to urge the family, as long as the front foot steps into the boundary of Kyoto to make sure that the eldest sister returns home safely, Chu Ning can travel lightly and set off directly back to Tiansheng. For Tiansheng, Chu Ning is really happy, but at the moment, he can't allow him to return to Tiansheng quickly.

On the way back to Beijing, the murderous act on the way, this matter has not yet been found out, whether the person who raided was aimed at the eldest sister, or found the wrong person, and now it has not been clarified. At this critical moment, how could Chu Ning return to Tiansheng with peace of mind, so the young master of the Xiao family, who remembered his eldest sister, refused to leave Beijing without saying anything.

Chu Ning is worried about himself, Xiao Chuxuan understands, but this Tiansheng is not as good as the side, and now it has been delayed for several days, if he doesn't go back, I'm afraid that Chu Ning will never go back. How good is the younger brother, she understands in her heart, how can she be willing to let her younger brother lose the opportunity for these things to catch the wind and shadows, and she is persuaded right now, Xiao Chuxuan said.

"Ning'er, there is no shadow of what happened on the road, maybe the person who ambushed us that day just mistook us for someone else, not someone who wanted to kill me. I haven't found out anything for a few days now, and I don't think anything will happen. Don't worry, leave Beijing quickly, it's been delayed for many days, if you don't go back, I'm afraid that the head of Tiansheng will be angry. Don't you also say that the head of Tiansheng is the most cautious, if you don't return for a long time, you won't let you return if you are annoyed. ”

Tiansheng is a place where you can learn real skills, of course Chu Ning is reluctant, so when he heard the words of the eldest sister, Chu Ning's face was wrinkled. But thinking about the danger that might be hidden on the side of the eldest sister, Chu Ning's wrinkled little face twisted even more harshly, annoyed, shook his head violently, and Chu Ning said with a shake of his head.

"No, even if you really ask the head of the family to drive out, Ning'er can't go back at this moment. There were thieves who came to the door the year before last, and this year there was another halfway interception, who can guarantee that these two groups are not the same gang, Ning'er can't joke with the eldest sister. ”

He can't bet on his own sister, and she was moved, but she was helpless. Horizontal and vertical here is not able to persuade Chu Ning, Xiao Chuxuan can only sigh, and then looks towards the side Ye Zhiqiu. moved his mouth and silently asked Ye Zhiqiu to help.

She can control the other young masters of the Xiao family, and she has no problem with this youngest brother, so she can only ask Ye Zhiqiu to make a move at this time. Fortunately, although Chu Ning is stubborn, he is convinced by Ye Zhiqiu, so he can also listen to Ye Zhiqiu's words.

Seeing Xiao Chuqiu's silent pleading, Ye Zhiqiu's eyes were warm, and then he nodded with a smile, looked at Chu Ning and said, "Chu Ning, although Brother Mo is a good friend, he also acts in accordance with the rules. Since you have returned to Tiansheng after worshipping your ancestors, you deserve to return. Now it's been a delay for a few days, if you don't set off again, then it will really annoy Brother Mo, and I feel that you are not following the rules, I am afraid that it will be irreparable. ”

"Brother Ye should know that Chu Ning is not a person who does not follow the rules, but right now, how can you let me return to Tiansheng with peace of mind."

The eldest sister is still unclear about what is going on here, and it is absolutely impossible for him to go back.

This child is stubborn, a tendon, which is really a headache. If you want to convince him in this matter, it is obviously not easy, seeing that Ye Zhiqiu can't ask his younger brother to respond even if he opens his mouth to persuade him, Xiao Chushu already feels a headache here.

She really didn't want to delay her younger brother for some nonsensical things, so when she didn't know how to persuade her, she heard Ye Zhiqiu ask.

"You don't want to leave for Tiansheng immediately, but it's because you're worried about Miss Xiao."

"Naturally, now that the matter has not been cleared up, I can't rest easy."

"That being the case, if someone can protect Miss Xiao well, Chu Ning is willing to leave immediately." Still smiled gently, but Chu Ning was a little unclear about this warm words. was tilting his head to look at Ye Zhiqiu, and before he could ask, Ye Zhiqiu had already opened his mouth and smiled: "Although Ye is not talented, he still has the ability to protect Miss Xiao well." ”

"Brother Ye, what do you mean?"

"There happened to be something going on in Kyoto, and Japan was going to live in Kyoto for a long time. If you can't feel at ease, I will protect Miss Xiao's safety for you, how about it? Ye Zhiqiu can always give people an indescribable sense of reassurance, so when he said this, Chu Ning also stared. This staring at Ye Zhiqiu made Ye Zhiqiu smile again and said.

"Or do you even believe Brother Ye anymore."

"How come, with Brother Ye protecting the eldest sister, it is better than Chu Ning a thousand times."

Ye Zhiqiu's ability, Xiao Chuning is clear, so when he heard that Ye Zhiqiu was willing to protect his eldest sister, Chu Ning was happy.

If you say who can control Xiao Chuning the most, it is not the head of the Xiao family, but Ye Daxia in front of him. Although this incident made Xiao Chusu very sulky, he didn't have the heart to be pretentious at the moment, so seeing that Chu Ning was relieved, Xiao Chusu also responded.

"Yes, Ning'er, with Ye Gongzi in Kyoto, you can rest assured. You should obediently go back to Tiansheng to practice martial arts seriously, learn all the skills as soon as possible, and then come to protect the eldest sister again, isn't it better. ”

Ye Zhiqiu stayed in Kyoto, even if he was really worried about a thief, it would not be a big problem to think that Xiao Chuqiu's safety would not be a big problem. is trustworthy, so he immediately relieved his mouth, and said to the eldest sister that he understood, Chu Ning looked at Ye Zhiqiu and said.

"Brother Ye, eldest sister, I will entrust it to Brother Ye, and Brother Ye will have to take care of Chu Ning."

Entrusted, Chu Ning used the word, how Xiao Chuxuan heard it and felt strange, but he didn't have time to correct this incorrect word. It was also an instruction, and then he instructed the little guy to prepare the things that the little master needed.
