"The people in the house seem to be deliberately conveying something to me, you go to Yipinju and ask Huo Baichuan where he is, and let him find a way to come to see me. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info" Zhao Shu said solemnly.

Xiao Guozi nodded and bowed down, and immediately rushed to Yipinju after leaving.

However, as soon as he walked a few steps, he was stopped by Xiao Zhuzi's subordinates, who stopped him by a man who poured water, he bent down and pretended to accidentally pour a cart of water into Xiao Guozi's arms, but pretended to be frightened to wipe Xiao Guozi.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'll wipe it for you." The man pounced on Xiao Guozi.

Xiao Guozi has always had a good image and never bullied the poor people, and said very gently at this time: "It's okay, be careful next time, you are bumping into the miscellaneous family, if you bump into the county lord and the prince, the head is light." ”

"Yes, yes, little next time." The man nodded and said when he approached Xiao Guozi: "Someone is watching, not the previous waves, the newcomers, and the situation has not yet been figured out." ”

Xiao Guozi's face was as usual, but his heart was a little colder, he thought about a few breaths, and then said: "Let's go, the miscellaneous family will go and change clothes." ”

He said that he entered the palace with a bad face, and he didn't have time to change his clothes before he went to Zhao Shu, "County Lord, there are people watching outside, not those people before, new arrivals, I don't know who it is, you see?" ”

Zhao Shu frowned, but still said, "When did no one monitor our mansion?" It's okay, keep going, don't be afraid, bring a few more people, is it possible that in broad daylight, they still dare to commit murder at the feet of the Son of Heaven? ”

Having said that, but in extraordinary times, I was still quite worried in my heart, Xiao Guozi heard this, and quickly retreated, this time he took a few henchmen and soldiers, and went to Yipinju in response.

Yipinju is a place to collect intelligence for Wei Tingsi, as soon as Xiao Guozi arrived, the person in charge of the branch learned that Xiao Guozi was being followed, and he hurriedly introduced Xiao Guozi, "Manager Guo, but the county lord has something?" ”

The steward did not dare to slack off, now all the subordinates of Wei Tingsi knew about Wei Tingsi and Zhao Shu, but they didn't publicize it, and they all knew in their hearts that Zhao Shu was the future housewife, the henchman of the master's mother, that is, the guest.

Since following Zhao Shu, Xiao Guo Zi is mostly respected, and he doesn't feel anything, but his impression is quite good.

"There's someone out there stalking the miscellaneous family." Xiao Guozi said while going upstairs, "Lord Huo is here?" ”

"Manager Guo, is the county master looking for Lord Huo?" The steward had a heart, thinking that this Lord Huo looked like Pan An and was talented, so he must guard against it, and he couldn't let him have dealings with the county lord!

Xiao Guozi didn't see his little Jiujiu, and nodded, "The county lord asked the miscellaneous family to ask if Master Huo was here, and if so, ask him to go and see the county lord." ”

The steward's heart twitched, his eyes moved, and he decided to ask more, so he ignored Xiao Guozi's frosty face, and seemed to be very eyeless and said, "I don't know what the county lord is looking for Lord Huo?" ”

"Naturally, there is something, whether you are here or not, you are right, the county lord is still waiting for the letter, there is something urgent." Xiao Guozi was a little unhappy, thinking to himself that Marshal Wei's people were beating the county lord?

Hmph, even if you beat it again, the county lord is still the one in charge, Marshal Wei is a cat in front of the county lord, what is there to be proud of!

The steward and Xiao Guozi thought differently, the more he listened, the more unpleasant he felt in his heart, the county lord and Lord Huo, lonely men and widows, were met by this master, what did they want!

Xiao Guozi waited for a long time and didn't get an answer, so he was anxious, "Shopkeeper, you should give a word." ”

As soon as the steward's inspiration moved, he had an idea, "Manager Guo, in this way, I will write to the marshal first, and then let the marshal say to Master Huo, what do you think?" Although Lord Huo lives in Yipinju, I don't know where he lives, only the master knows. ”

"Okay, you as soon as possible, something happened to the Xiao Mansion, if you don't hurry up, I'm afraid it will make a big mistake, the miscellaneous family will go back first, you prepare a few portions of Yipinju's signature dishes for the miscellaneous family, and the miscellaneous family will take it back to the county lord to taste."

As soon as the steward heard that something had happened to Xiao Zhai, where was he still in the mood to think about it, he immediately said: "I'll go and send a letter to Master Huo, Father-in-law Guo, you go to the kitchen and say something, let them serve you food." ”

"Hey! You ......" Xiao Guozi was angry, but before he finished speaking, the steward left.

Yongwang Mansion, Zhao Shu waited in the courtyard for about half an hour, Xiao Zhuzi finally arrived, he panted and saluted: "The slave greets the county lord, the county lord, you are looking for a minion, but what happened?" ”

Zhao Shu motioned for Chu Chun to pour tea, "Sit and say." ”

"Hey, slave Lord Xie." Xiao Zhuzi sat down and drank with a teacup.

After drinking a sip of tea and moistening his throat, Zhao Shu asked, "What have you found about Xiao Zhai?" ”

"Xiao Zhai? There's nothing wrong with that, it's business as usual. He said in surprise, after listening to Zhao Shu's words, his first reaction was that something happened to Xiao Zhai? Then he began to search his stomach and think about it, but he couldn't think of any information about Xiao Zhai.

Zhao Shu frowned, "Think about it, is it really okay?" For example, Jiu Niang's massage blind people, such as the maids in Xiao Zhai. ”

"County Lord, you are talking about this, since Mr. Xiao left the capital, Xiao Mansion has full authority to be the master of Jiu Niang, Jiu Niang herself personally replaced all the maids, and the blind man who massaged died of illness and was buried in the suburbs of Beijing."

Zhao Shu's eyes sharpened when she heard this, "What did you say?" Is it Jiu Niang's own maid? Also, how did those blind people die? ”

"It seems that he has a cold, the subordinates of Xiao Zhai were dismissed before, Jiuniang gave a lot of severance pay, and some people said that Jiuniang was generous." Xiao Zhuzi said.

If so, it is actually an ordinary thing, and it is not surprising, but Jiu Niang was poisoned, and those massage blind people also died of wind cold, it seems that Jiu Niang is the same as them.

"Do you know exactly where they died?" Zhao Shu asked again.

"It's easy to find, Jiu Niang did the Jiujiu Dojo at the beginning, and many people know it." Xiao Zhuzi looked puzzled.

"There are people watching outside the door, you want to pull them all out, I'll meet Master Huo later, remember not to leak the news." For some reason, Zhao Shu always felt that someone deliberately wanted to design Huo Baichuan.

But without direct evidence, it is not credible to rely on feelings alone.

I don't know if he's still in the capital.

Xiao Zhuzi answered.

In the evening, Xiao Guozi brought a letter, saying that Huo Baichuan would come to her, but did not say when.

There's no specific time, and it's always panicked to wait, but fortunately, there are other things to divert attention.

Jiang Yang and Jiang Zuo and his wife jointly wrote a copy of the recital and handed it to the Taihe Palace, which instantly shocked the government and the opposition.

At the beginning, Jiang Ying's death became the first major case after Zhao Yi ascended the throne, and many people saw a good opportunity to eliminate dissidents.

However, there are also some people who are busy clearing up the relationship, but these are all afterwords, and the fold is handed over, and the imperial court immediately issued a document to the whole country to arrest Jiang Yue, and the whistleblower is rewarded!

This fold was handed over, but in just a few hours, the capital seemed to explode, and many people paid attention to the justifiable reward of the imperial court, and some even formed a team to look for Jiang Yue.

Carpet search, Zhao Shu believes that within three days, Jiang Yue will be forced out, and then she will be called a sinner through the ages to Bo Gongtang! Become synonymous with poisonous women.

Of course, if she doesn't want to do this, she can bite other people, and then peel off the cocoon according to the clues and settle the account.

It's a good feeling to finally be able to settle accounts.

Everyone was paying attention to Jiang Yue's affairs, and at midnight, Huo Baichuan came slowly, and when he saw Zhao Shu, his face was extremely ugly.

"What's wrong with you?" Zhao Shu asked.

He sat in his special chair, and behind him stood Duozi and Xiao Chubby, and the three of them suddenly appeared like ghosts, and scared Xiao Guozi.

Hearing this, Huo Baichuan said: "Take back what I said last time. He said.

Zhao Shu was stunned, what did he say last time? After thinking about it, he said, "Don't mention the old things, you must already know about the Xiao Mansion." ”

"I just took the coffin to open the coffin for an autopsy, the female corpse in the coffin has signs of poisoning, this poison is difficult to find, and I don't know what poison is poisoned, but it can be determined that it is poisoned.

"You also suspect that Jiu Niang is the same as her massage blind girl?" Zhao Shu asked, she was not surprised, Huo Baichuan's ability could definitely be thought of.

He nodded, "I suspect that Jiu Niang is going to commit suicide now." He said, with an indescribable heaviness in his words.

"Suicide? Why? Zhao Shu's question blurted out, but she already had the answer in her heart, but she just didn't want to believe it, she couldn't believe that someone would commit suicide for the sake of emotion.

Huo Baichuan didn't answer, but leaned back in his chair, "I checked the people in the house, and I also asked people to ask the people who were released, and there was nothing unusual, I think she knew that the teacher would not return to Beijing again, so she let the previous people go." ”

"You mean she poisoned the blind girl with her own hands? Poisoned others, and poisoned yourself? What logic. She couldn't believe it, if it was true, then Jiu Niang was too paranoid.

Huo Baichuan changed his uninhibited attitude in the past, his face was very solemn, and he didn't answer Zhao Shu's words, which was a tacit acquiescence.

However, Zhao Shu couldn't believe it, "I don't believe it, I want to find out, I don't believe she can be so ruthless, she has been waiting for Mr. Xiao for many years, it can be seen that she is a long-term person, how could a long-term person do such a paranoid thing?" ”

Huo Baichuan still didn't reply, he just glanced at Zhao Shu lightly, just like that, for some reason, Zhao Shu actually understood the thousand words in his heart, he would rather believe that it was Jiu Niang who asked for it, so he didn't want to believe that what he found was not the truth.

However, if it was the truth, why didn't he find a way to deal with it?

Presumably the truth will break him.

"Mr. Xiao, will you really not return to Beijing again?" Zhao Shu asked in a low voice.

"Won't come back, ever." He closed his eyes, as if he didn't want to talk about it anymore, but he came here to discuss things with Zhao Shu, and he couldn't escape it.

After a long time, he muttered to himself, "He can't come back." ”

Zhao Shu frowned, "You make it clear, why can't you come back?" ”

"If you're dead, if you're dead, you can't come back." He suddenly said loudly, and immediately regretted seeing Zhao Shu's stunned expression, and then said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be angry with you." ”

"Mr. Xiao is dead?" Zhao Shu couldn't believe her ears, how could Xiao Xingyuan die? How could it be dead!

Huo Baichuan lowered his head and recalled bitterly, "The teacher was going to return to Beijing that day and had arrived in Tianjin, but suddenly decided to go to Suzhou by water, the sea was stormy, and the teacher's ship was ......."

"If it weren't for the ship that went to sea, there shouldn't have been an accident, and now it's not the rainy season, how can it be so back?" Zhao Shu still couldn't believe it.

Xiaopang couldn't stand standing behind Huo Baichuan anymore, he answered: "County Lord, Gongzi sent someone to check, the boat was tampered with, and the reason why Mr. wanted to go to Suzhou is also for a reason." ”

Zhao Shu frowned, "What is the reason?" ”

"Aunt Dan wanted to buy a batch of arquebuses, and the person in her hand died, so she asked her husband to help him go to Suzhou to find a maritime merchant, but the husband did not agree, and the boat was scuttled through, and the body of the husband has not been recovered."

Zhao Shu looked at Huo Baichuan when he heard this, he was like a dead man, embarrassed.

"If you don't want to check again, just don't check, in fact, I can cure Jiuniang, you don't have to feel guilty." Zhao Shu comforted him, but no matter how much she said, she knew that everything was not enough to comfort him.

In his previous life, he became famous and became a very popular minister, but he disappeared from the court at a young age, and it is also this time, I hope he can get through the difficulties.

Huo Baichuan raised his head to look at Zhao Shu after a long time, he had the light on his back, the dim yellow light hit him, and the whole person looked particularly soft, so he didn't smile or speak, he was quiet, like a person made of jade.

I don't know why some people are reluctant not to feel distressed.

"Zhao Shu, I suddenly feel too lonely, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on." After saying that, he stood up and walked to Zhao Shu's side, suddenly pulled her into his arms, hugged her tightly, and then said: "Just let me hug for a while, I just feel too lonely, I won't ask you for anything, I won't force you anything, just ask you to accompany me today." ”

Zhao Shu was stunned, and it took a while to react, wanting to break free, but found that his whole body was trembling, cold, like a person soaked in ice.

I swallowed back the words that were originally on my lips, and without waiting for him to speak, Huo Baichuan said again, "I used to be very stupid, and I couldn't memorize books well, but if I didn't memorize well, my father would be angry and would replace the family heir, at that time, the eldest sister was bullied badly, and I couldn't bear her being bullied, so I desperately endorsed it." ”

"My mother's life is not good, she is married to Chongxi, but she is a good person, and my father always likes her more, in fact, I am afraid, afraid that you will learn my origin and look down on me." His tone was light, but Zhao Shu understood that he was extremely bitter in his heart.

didn't reply, just listened quietly, a person like Huo Baichuan only needs an audience, and he will handle all his emotions well.

"My mother's position in the Huo family is embarrassing, if I don't fight hard, the Huo family will have no place for our mother and son, the eldest sister has not been liked by her biological mother since she was a child, so she is always very sensitive and inferior, when she gave me food, I swore that in this life I must let those who have bullied her kneel in front of her to repent, Zhao Shu, I did it, you know, but I can't be happy now."
