Chapter 8: There is no proof of death
"No, master, Xiu'er didn't mean that, Xiu'er didn't mean to force you, she just wanted to help the master!"
"When I followed the master before, the master said that everything that could be given to Xiu'er would be given, and over the years, the master has never treated Xiu'er badly, and Xiu'er is already very satisfied, really!"
Cui Tianjie looked at her, "Don't you want to go home with me?" ”
"The master said that let Xiu'er be obedient, Xiu'er didn't understand why the master didn't take Xiu'er home, but then I understood that in fact, the master was to protect Xiu'er."
"Xiu'er knows that the master's mind is on Xiu'er, Xiu'er is already very satisfied, Xiu'er is very used to living here, and the master will come back more
Be! ”
Cui Tianjie really likes Xiu'er as much as he watches, so he naturally stays overnight at night.
rewarded Xiu'er well, and when she left the next day, a lot of things were sent over, which shows that she was happy and attentive.
In the courtyard, Xiu'er counted these things and chatted with Xiaoyan, the maid beside her.
"Miss is really willing to stay in this courtyard?" Xiao Yan looked at the things in front of her and looked at her own young lady.
Xiu'er asked rhetorically, "What's wrong?" Isn't it good here? ”
"It's naturally better to sleep in the dining style here and outside, but Miss, the slave maid passed by Cui's Mansion that day, that is called magnificent, and the lady of the Cui family goes out, and the battle is really majestic."
"In this large and small shop in the capital, who is the lady of the Cui family, she doesn't nod her head, and these, the original lady can also have a share, how can she just not want it!"
Xiu'er's brows moved, "Xiaoyan, you girl has a lot of thoughts!" ”
"The slave is not for herself, Miss, the slave is for Miss, you are unhappy, the master's mind is here for Miss, but if Miss you use some means, isn't it easy to enter the door? Why is it still ......?"
"Then someone came to me, you saw it, do you know what it is?" Xiu'er asked.
Xiaoyan was stunned, she really didn't know, the person who came that day was quite mysterious, and she chatted with Miss alone for a while, but it didn't last long.
Xiu'er didn't change much after that, so she didn't care.
After glancing at Xiu'er, Xiaoyan immediately went out, looked left and right, and everyone was branched out, so there was no one else around.
"That person came to me and asked Cui Tianjie to buy evidence of official sales!"
Xiao Yan's face changed suddenly.
"Miss......"
"I agreed, go get the evidence for him!"
Xiu'er looked at Xiaoyan, "Do you know why?" ”
"Why, Miss?"
"Because Cui Tianjie will never marry me into the door, although I don't have any evidence that he bought and sold the official, but I am an insider, since this matter has been mentioned, it will be made up sooner or later, I am the one who can be sacrificed and killed at any time!"
Xiao Yan could barely believe her ears.
"This, how could it be? The old man was relieved before, and said that he wanted to let you enter the door, Miss! ”
"That's because I was temporarily moved, and I'm afraid I won't mention it again in the future."
Xiu'er looked at Xiao Yan and hated iron for not being steel, "Why are you so stupid?" Don't you understand? ”
"Haven't I been stupid enough all these years? I've lost a few children, you think it's all an accident? ”
"Could it be...... No? ”
"Absolutely not!" Xiu'er said viciously, "I can't have my own children anymore, and I can't harm others when I leave this house, so I've already thought about it, make a lot of money, and our master and servant will fly away!" ”
"What?"
Xiu'er took Xiaoyan's hand, "You were bought by Cui Tianjie for me, your deed of sale is in his hands, I will find a way to give you a way to come over, and when the time comes, you will be free, and we will be sisters in the future!" ”
"We look good in this courtyard, but in fact we don't even have the slightest freedom, so let's leave together!"
"Can we really leave?"
"Why not, you were originally trafficked, after we left the capital, go back to your hometown to find your family, you are not happy
Is it? ”
Xiu'er said, "No matter how ignorant I am, I know that buying and selling officials is a big crime, since that person can find me, it must be that Cui Tianjie has already investigated clearly, we can only make a wise choice!" ”
Originally, Xiaoyan was still a little hesitant, not for anything else, but she was just a little timid by nature.
"Cui Tianjie won't let me pass through the door, what kind of family is the Cui family, is that where I can go as an orphan girl? And the grandeur you see! ”
"What you see now is magnificent, but as soon as I get in, that's where we are trapped, and when we get inside, we will be gnawed clean sooner or later!"
Xiu'er said a lot, but Xiaoyan still hesitated, so Xiu'er simply didn't say anything.
"That man agreed to give me a lot of money and send us away, you can think about Xiaoyan well, I respect you!"
"Okay, I'll think about it!" Xiao Yan hurriedly said.
I was so flustered, so I didn't notice Xiu'er's cold face.
That night, the back door of the Beijing annex quietly opened, and a figure ran out.
I didn't see Xiu'er standing quietly behind her at all, with a grim face.
Follow up, see where she went, if it is in the direction of the Cui family in the capital, solve it directly! Deal with it cleanly!
The surroundings were quiet again, and Xiu'er snorted coldly, "Xiaoyan, I gave you a chance, but you didn't grasp it yourself and lost your life, don't blame me!" ”
On the second day, Cui Tianjie hurriedly appeared in the courtyard again, and he had a calm face when he entered the door.
"What's going on? How did Xiaoyan jump into the river? ”
"I don't know, I found it by the lake early this morning, and the little lady has already fainted from crying." The housekeeper said quickly, "However, I found a letter in Xiu'er's room?" ”
"What letter?" Cui Tianjie asked.
Butler, "This is also the reason why the slave dared to alarm the master, it seems that someone threatened Xiao Yan to say that the master bought the official and sold the official, Xiao Yan probably failed to say it, and others died!" ”
These words made Cui Tianjie pause.
Originally, he was still a little impatient.
But I was nervous because of this.
"What about faith?"
"It's been destroyed!" The housekeeper said, "But Xiaoyan's room has been sealed, so I'm afraid that I will find something again, so I'm waiting for the master to come and decide."
Plan! ”
Cui Tianjie, "You go to see if there is anything else, I'll go see Xiu'er, she didn't find anything, right?" ”
"Everything is normal for the little lady, her body is good and bad, and she is very dependent on Xiao Yan, but now that Xiao Yan has an accident, the first thing she can't stand is her!"
"You go and dig up the evidence first, I'll go see Xiu'er!"
When Cui Tianjie went to see Xiu'er, Xiu'er had just woken up.
But I must have cried, and my eyes were very red and swollen.
"Sir, sir!" Seeing Cui Tianjie, Xiu'er stretched out her hands like a child, waiting for Cui Tianjie's appeasement.
Looking at Xiu'er's fragile appearance, Cui Tianjie instinctively took a few steps forward.
"How so? Master! What the hell is going on? Xiaoyan was fine yesterday, she just said to go out! ”
Cui Tianjie hurriedly asked, "Then what did Xiao Yanke tell you yesterday?" ”
"No, it's just that in the evening she said she had something to go out, and I thought I was going out to buy something like before, so I didn't care!"
"But in the evening, Xiaoyan didn't come back, I thought she was tired, so she went to sleep first!"
"Who knew that something like this happened today!" While talking about Xiu'er, she was about to cry again.
Listening to Xiu'er's words, Cui Tianjie breathed a sigh of relief.
waved his hand and stepped back, looked at Xiu'er and said.
"Does Xiu'er know why Xiaoyan had an accident?"
"Why? Xiaoyan has always been by my side, and we have never left this house, will we still offend anyone? ”
Cui Tianjie said, "It's not that you offended anyone, but the people I offended!" ”
"Now someone is investigating the fact that I bought and sold an official position, this matter is not trivial, but once it is found out, none of us can escape!"
"Over the years, all the expenses in this house have been exchanged for the money from buying and selling officials, I guess someone found out here, so they will do it to Xiaoyan!"
Xiu'er was taken aback and looked incomprehensible.
"But the matter of buying and selling officials, wasn't it many years ago? Sir, haven't you done it for a long time! ”
What has never stopped in the past two years, Cui Tianjie has not told Xing'er.
It's just that he inadvertently revealed it when he was drunk before, so Xiu'er only knew a little bit, at least in Cui Tianjie's consciousness. "Now there is an opponent who wants to dig up these old accounts against me, so you must be careful not to be caught in your actions and words in the future
Shank! ”
Xiu'er naturally nodded hurriedly, "Don't worry, master, you won't even come out of the house if you smile, who will you talk to?" ”
This is all true, for so many years, Xiu'er has rarely taken the initiative to go out.
Even a few times it was very suffocating, and after going out to play for a while, I came back, very well-behaved.
Originally, Cui Tianjie had nothing to worry about, but something happened to Xiaoyan's side, so he naturally had to think about it more.
After all, Xiao Yan was just a maid, and he couldn't figure out why those people would set their sights on a pressed goods.
After thinking about it for a long time, I couldn't figure it out that Cui Tianjie left on the front foot, and Xiu'er fell asleep on the back foot.
However, in the dead of night, Xiu'er, who had fallen asleep, appeared silently in a very dilapidated inn.
This inn must have been deserted for a while, and it was a little eerie to come at night.
"Since you've already made an appointment to meet, why do you have to pretend to be a ghost?" Xiu'er really doesn't like this place, so she just calls people directly!
Sure enough, as soon as his voice fell, a figure came out of the shadows.
"Xiao Yan is dead!" Xiu'er said.
"We've received the news, and we'd like to congratulate you on stabbing an enemy!"
Xiu'er paused, "It's all what you said, and I don't know if it's true or not, but now it's what you want!" ”
When he said this, he was tempting the man, but he was not deceived at all.
"Since you have done it, you believe it, and since you believe it, you don't need to test it again, whether it is true or false, you already have a conclusion in your heart, don't you?"
Indeed, at first, Xiu'er was just suspicious, if these people hadn't given her tips, she wouldn't have really investigated Xiaoyan, and she wouldn't have found out that the children she had lost over the years had all passed through Xiaoyan's hands.
It turned out that Xiaoyan was really a chess piece that Cui Tianjie put beside her.
It's just that her performance over the years has been seamless, so that Xiaoyan has no place to use.
Otherwise, if he makes any abnormal moves, Xiao Yan can kill her directly.
"Did you bring what we wanted?"
Xiu'er hesitated for a moment, "I brought something, but I have a request, it shouldn't be too much, I can always know who I'm working with!" ”
The figure hidden in the shadows on the opposite side did not move at all, if it weren't for the fact that she could really see this person, Xiu'er would have thought that the person had already left.
After a while, people spoke.
"You have come here in recent days just to protect yourself, we promise that you will leave afterwards, don't be curious if you shouldn't ask, don't be curious if you shouldn't know!"
This was said softly, but the warning was full of meaning, and Xiu'er had even smelled the strong killing intent inside.
I changed my tune right away.
"What Your Excellency said is that Xiu'er has overpassed!"
Then Xiu'er said, "What I want is simple, I will leave the capital and change my name and surname afterwards, and from now on, no one, including you, will find me!" ”
"Since childhood, I have been reduced to a tool of the killer organization, and we can understand that we want a peaceful life, and your request is not too much, we agree!"
