Chapter 360: Black Cauldron

On the third day of Lin Xuan'er's death, when the Marquis of Xuanping's mansion was all over Kyoto looking for the murderer.

A ransom letter appeared in front of the Hou Mansion.

After reading the contents of the letter, Mr. Fu was sweating profusely.

Don't dare to delay, hurry up and tell Hou Ye to know.

Hou Ye glanced at the letter twice, and suddenly became furious.

I can't wait to dig up the bones of the eldest lady and whip her.

It was the eldest lady who bribed someone to kill Shen Anyun.

Because Shen Anyun has not been out of the Xuanping Marquis Mansion for a long time, it has been delayed until now.

Although the eldest lady died, she paid a fixed fee of fifty taels, and they have professionalism, and they will not stop doing things because the eldest lady is dead.

They took the benefits of the eldest lady and were ordered to kill Shen Anyun, but now because they killed the wrong person, they didn't dare to see the light of day, and asked the Marquis of Wu'an to send two thousand taels of silver to the big tree surrounded by four people in the grove in the east of the city, and they took the money, and they would disappear in Kyoto forever, and they would never enter Beijing in this life.

If the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion does not follow the instructions, then in order to survive, they can only go to the Marquis of Xuanping Mansion to surrender, and then the Marquis of Wu'an's Mansion will be ruined and will not complain about them.

The letter even wrote which maid the eldest lady had sent to find them.

Mr. Fu recognized the mother-in-law and said to Hou Ye, "Hou Ye, the slave went to check, that day, Mrs. Wu did go out, but in the past few days, Mrs. Wu has taken leave, and the slave has already asked people to look for her." ”

Hou Ye didn't speak, his fists were clenched, and the green tendons on his forehead jumped and jumped.

"The Ninth Girl and the Seventh Young Master are sick, these days, apart from the old lady and the third wife, who else in the Hou Mansion has visited?" After a while, Hou Ye asked out loud.

Manager Fu replied, "Not a few days ago, but yesterday, the second master sent a little maid to take a look at the seventh young master." ”

Second master?

Hou Ye's brows condensed.

The corners of Mr. Fu's mouth moved slightly, and he said, "Master Hou, the servant asked the maid to reduce the amount of medicine taken by the Seventh Young Master by half according to the instructions, the Seventh Young Master's illness has been bad for a long time, and the high fever has recurred, and if it continues like this, I am afraid it will be ......." ”

If you have been sick for a long time, especially if you have a high fever, if you don't treat it as soon as possible, you are afraid that it will leave a lot of sequelae.

Moreover, Mr. Fu said, "Today, the maid who is responsible for taking care of the Seventh Young Master came to tell the slave, saying that the second wife is also extremely concerned about the illness of the Seventh Young Master, and she also wants her to do something in the medicine of the Seventh Young Master." ”

has already moved his hands and feet, and if he moves again, Shen Anxiao will really die.

Manager Fu told the maid that he just let Shen Anxiao's illness get better later, but he couldn't kill him.

The maid agreed to the second wife, turned her head, and sued the chief fu.

Mr. Fu had a faint guess in his heart.

The second master cares about the seventh young master on the one hand, and the second wife harms the seventh young master on the other, this can't be just a coincidence.

On that day, he heard what Hou Ye and Jian Anbo said.

Jian Anbo was shocked, and he was equally shocked.

He has served in the Hou Mansion all his life, and he never thought that the eldest lady would be such a person, and he would dare to cuckold the Hou Ye, and he would hide it for more than ten years.

Moreover, when the eldest lady disappeared, the second master also disappeared.

The second master lost an arm, and the eldest lady was killed.

Mr. Fu didn't think that the second master killed the eldest lady, but the death of the eldest lady and the injury of the second master must have something to do with it.

The corners of Hou Ye's mouth hooked up a sneer, "Tell the second master the news that the second wife is going to kill the seventh young master, or show no traces." ”

Mr. Fu nodded and wrote it down.

He turned to leave, but there was an urgent knock at the door.

Seven Blessings came in.

Seeing that he was the only one, Manager Fu frowned, "What about Mrs. Wu?" ”

Let him bring Mrs. Wu directly to the study to see Master Hou, it shouldn't just be Qifu who comes in alone.

Qifu hurriedly replied, "Grandpa, I took someone to Mrs. Wu's house, and found that her courtyard door was locked, and when I knocked on the door and entered the house, I found that she was dead, not only did she die, but even her son and daughter-in-law, as well as her newborn grandson, died at home. ”

The corpse was not only cold, but also a little stinky, and should have been dead for a day or two.

Mr. Fu looked back at Hou Ye, and he felt that Mrs. Wu's death was not simple.

Originally, the eldest lady was dead, and there was no proof that she was dead.

Now Mrs. Wu is also dead, and there is no proof of death.

It seems that someone wants to press Lin Xuan'er's death on the head of the eldest lady.

Hou Ye smiled coldly, he threw the extortion letter in his hand on the desk, "No one is behind his back, even a few thieves dare to blackmail Ben Hou?" ”

Mr. Fu looked at Hou Ye, "What about this money?" ”

If you give it, then it will be true that the eldest lady buys murder.

If you don't give it, people will go to the Xuanping Marquis Mansion to surrender.

If you really can't give, you can't give it.

"Give it to them! I'd like to see who dares to stab me in the back! Hou Ye's voice was a little cold.

Hou Ye ordered, and Manager Fu received the order, so he turned around and went to the account office to withdraw the money and send it to the grove in the east of the city.

Mr. Fu didn't expect that he took the sealed silver ticket, but he saw two young beggar brothers and sisters under the largest tree in the grove east of the city.

The eldest is about 10 years old, and the younger is about 6 years old.

Boys are looking around in the trees, and girls are picking up ginkgo biloba leaves in the woods to play.

Seeing that the chief manager of Fu came over, the little boy shouted in surprise, "Sister, someone really brought us silver." ”

The little girl was bouncing up, and she was also happy when she heard the words, "Don't be hungry, don't be hungry." ”

Manager Fu frowned, he never imagined that the people who came to get the silver tickets would be such a pair of brothers and sisters.

He asked, "Who brought you here?" ”

The little girl said, "It's a big brother who gives us steamed buns." ”

Manager Fu asked again, "What did he say besides giving you steamed buns?" ”

The little girl shook her head, she didn't know.

Her brother slipped down from the tree and said to Mr. Fu, "He said that if my sister and I are waiting here, someone will bring us silver, and as long as we get it, they will give us ten taels of silver as a reward." ”

"What happens when you get the money?" Mr. Fu continued to ask.

The boy said, "Let me send it to ...... I can't sue you. ”

The young man looked at Manager Fu vigilantly.

Mr. Fu was speechless, he was the one who was blackmailed, how could he be like a bad person.

Mr. Fu took out a tael of silver and gave it to the young man, who shook his head.

Mr. Fu continued to add money.

From one tael to ten taels, the little boy said, "Get the money, let me send it to Bishui Lake, row the boat to the center of the lake, and someone will take the silver there." ”

Although Chief Fu was not happy, he had to admire, this thief was really smart, in the center of the lake, there was water on all sides, and there was no need to worry that the Hou Mansion would catch them.

Mr. Fu handed the silver ticket to the young man, then turned around and walked towards Bishui Lake, pondering how to catch the thief all the way.

It's just that when he left for about a stick of incense, the beggar brothers and sisters didn't leave the tree.

Deep in the woods, two men came out, one of them smiling triumphantly.

"Big brother's idea is good! Isn't that just fooling people away," the man laughed.

The other patted him on the chest and said, "Go get the money." ”

When the little girl saw the man, she called out to her eldest brother, but as soon as she approached, she was choked by the eldest brother's neck.

The little boy wanted to save his sister, but he was also choked by the neck, and his face was bruised.

Just when the two of them were about to kill them, two stones flew out of the shadows.

It hit the back of the two people's hands directly, and they let go of their hands at once.

Mr. Fu and a middle-aged man jumped down from under the tree and clapped their hands dirty.

"If we are fooled by two little dolls, we don't have to mess around," Mr. Fu laughed.

He didn't really go.

He noticed that after the little boy took the silver, his eyes were glowing, as if to say: It's really ten taels, and he didn't dream.

After he left, he glanced back and saw that the little boy was rubbing his stomach, he should be hungry, he looked back while rubbing his stomach.

Obviously, there should be someone behind.

Manager Fu looked at the thief on the ground and sneered, "You are not small, you are not good at doing things, and you are brave enough to dare to threaten the Marquis of Wu'an." ”

Two thieves knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, thieves like them who even killed the wrong person, how much professionalism do you expect them to have, like the secret guards who don't let go of their mouths when they die, do they need to be tortured, or are they tortured?

There is no need for Manager Fu to ask, the two of them are recruited directly.

However, these two people don't know much.

I only know that two mothers-in-law went to their eldest brother and paid fifty taels of silver to kill them.

Mr. Fu asked if it was Mrs. Wu, and the two thieves nodded at that time, "It's her, the eldest brother asked us to kill him too, and then come to get the silver today." ”

"And another?" Mr. Fu asked.

The other one must be the one who supports them.

The two thieves shook their heads, "We don't know. ”

Mr. Fu frowned, and another man stepped on it, directly on the hand of one of the thieves, and the thief who was hurting had a cold cold on his forehead, and he was crying bitterly.

The other thief was even more scared and trembled, but he really didn't know.

However, when he wiped his sweat, his eyes lit up, he thought of something, and said busily, "Although we don't know who bought the murder, I heard the eldest daughter-in-law say that the Guogong Mansion has more power than the Hou Mansion, and with the support of the Guogong Mansion, we are not afraid." ”

Guogong Mansion?

Chief Fu's brows were even more condensed, "Protector Mansion? ”

The thief shook his head, they really didn't know.

It must be the Protector's Mansion, and the last time the eldest lady restored her title, she had the credit of the Duchess of the Protector.

Originally, it was unusual for the Protectorate Mansion and the eldest lady to get mixed up, and the dare was that the eldest lady and her murdered Shen Anyun together.

One avenges himself.

One kills for his daughter's future happiness.

I have to say that the Protector's Mansion is bold enough, after the death of the eldest lady, she still dares to kill people, killing people does not count, and she dares to let the eldest lady carry the black pot.

The two asked the thief to take them to their boss.

The place where they live is relatively remote, and when they go, they happened to meet their boss who was looking for love with a woman in the house, and the sound of flesh impact, as well as the woman's ** sound, really made people red-faced.

The two thieves were accustomed to it, and sneered, "Our boss is very powerful, and he never does this day or night, well, I said yes, we have to wait for a while." ”

Who is waiting with him for a while, he is the head of the Hou Mansion and the thief outside to listen to the Spring Palace, like a word?

"Go call the door!" Mr. Fu said angrily.

The thief didn't dare to go, but was directly carried by someone to climb the door.

Suddenly, there was a murderous roar from the room.

"Whoever mixes with Lao Tzu's good deeds, Lao Tzu wants the life of his whole family!" R1152
