Chapter 54: Planning

Wang Fengmao went out of the inner courtyard, and immediately asked people to call the butler, and after a while, a small copper abacus wearing a cotton hat and hanging from his chest, a housekeeper of medium stature trotted to him.

The butler's eyebrows are shallow, his eyes are as slender as rat's eyes, and his upper and lower lips are also slender and often pursed.

"Master, you called me to ......"

"Who is the person who reported the news to me today?" There was not a hint of emotion in his voice.

"If you follow the shift, the matter will be ......" The housekeeper blinked, and he recalled for a moment in his mind and said, "It should be Zhang Er." ”

"The man went to the inner courtyard and saw something...... You clean up. Coldly dropping this sentence, Wang Fengmao left with his hands behind his back.

The butler, who remained where he was, put his fingers to his lips, and his eyes lit up with thought.

After finishing the business in hand, Zhang Er came to the housekeeper dejectedly, he kept thinking about why he was driven away by the master today, and finally he came up with an answer, that is, he touched the rules!

The inner courtyard is not allowed to enter and exit with idle servants, and as a low-level person, he is in a hurry to break the rules for a while!

There was no way, Zhang Er could only admit that he was unlucky.

Now he just wants to be able to get more silver as a reward when he leaves the mansion, and he has worked in Lanzhou Mansion for a long time, and there is no merit and hard work, right? He thought about comforting himself like this, but when he thought of the housekeeper who was known for being stingy, Zhang Er lost hope, and it was impossible to take one more copper plate from him!

Favors and so on don't work with him at all!

With a long sigh, Zhang Er knocked open the room where the housekeeper lived alone: "I'm here to receive this month's silver!" ”

He laughed and looked at the butler.

"I've heard everything my lord say." The butler's voice was hoarse and cold, and he pushed the tea brewed on the table forward, "The master's rules must be taken to heart, since you have touched the rules, then it is no wonder that we ......"

"Drink it!" The housekeeper glanced at the teacup, and his mouse-like eyes looked at Zhang Er again.

"Hey!" Zhang Er bowed his waist and took the teacup, sniffed it lightly with his nose, he has been working in this place for so long, and he knows that this is good tea just by the rich aroma of tea!

"I used to drink it secretly, but I didn't expect to be lucky enough to drink the tea made by the housekeeper for the villain."

Zhang Er suddenly felt that their previous opinion of the housekeeper was a little wrong?

The housekeeper still had an expression, watching Zhang Er drink up the tea without a drop left, he stood up, took out a big money bag from his arms and handed it to him.

"What is this?"

"Your share of the silver this month."

Zhang Er took it and weighed it, the amount was very large, he looked at the butler suspiciously, the silver in this silver bag far exceeded his ordinary month's silver.

As if seeing his thoughts, the housekeeper said flatly: "The master specially ordered that you take the money and go back to live a good life." ”

Zhang Er's face showed a touch of joy, and he bent down gratefully to the housekeeper and carefully held the silver bag in his arms. The housekeeper waved his hand, let him retreat, and returned to his residence, Zhang Er packed his luggage contentedly, and when he left Lanzhou Mansion, he touched the silver bag in the package again.

"Enough for a while." Zhang Er thought with satisfaction, glanced at Lanzhou Mansion again, and then stopped being nostalgic and turned away.

……

The man shrouded in black robes, holding a carrier pigeon with gray feathers in his hand, hurried forward. Walking in a long and narrow road, there are two high walls on the left and right, and after walking a distance, you will see a high wall in front of you blocking the way.

There is no way out.

However, the next moment, he stretched out his finger and came to the high wall, rubbing his finger against the wall tiles, and finally stopped on a cracked gray brick. He pressed suddenly, and the cracked brick suddenly recessed inward, and immediately, there was a roar and the sound of gold and iron colliding with the wall.

He took a step back, and in a short time he saw the entire high wall begin to rotate, and at this moment, a passage suddenly appeared in the road, which had been roadless.

The man in black was in a hurry, and before the wall was fully opened, he walked sideways.

At the end of the corridor is a quiet courtyard, surrounded by high walls, in addition to the entrance of the man in black to come here, there are three similar entrances in the small courtyard, occupying the north, west, and east directions respectively.

The man in black came to the courtyard from the southern entrance, and he went straight into the courtyard.

And in the courtyard, there was also a man covered in a black robe, and unlike him, the edge of the robe standing in the courtyard was sewn with earthy yellow silk threads.

"Clan envoy, Wang Fengmao has sent a message." As he spoke, he presented the gray carrier pigeon.

The envoy took the pigeon and scanned the news.

"Are you finally willing to come out?" Under the black robe came a magnetic voice unique to a middle-aged man.

"Envoy, do you still need Rag's help this time?"

"Foreigners are not at ease after all, let alone a bunch of waste? I actually let him run away last time! The envoy said, "But after that incident, I also learned more about him!" ”

"Instigated Xue Yantuo to rebel, and gave him a chance to survive in the mortal situation." The envoy chuckled, "It's barely enough to see." ”

briefly commented on Ye Huan, and the clan envoy said:

"In addition, Li Chengqian and others also followed......

"What a nuisance!" The man in black said, and gently scratched his hand on his neck, "Do you want to solve it together?" ”

The envoy shook his head:

"If we touch them, our plans will be exposed in advance. Moreover, Li Er, that madman, if we kill his dragon son, he will definitely spare no effort to find us, and then take revenge on us! The clan will not allow that kind of situation! ”

"Before the wings are full, don't act rashly! It is enough to kidnap Ye Huan alone! ”

"Yes!"

The man in black was half-kneeling on the ground and was about to withdraw, but he saw another man in black appear in Simon, also holding a carrier pigeon in his hand.

"Letter from Wang Fengmao!"

"What happened in such a short period of time?" The envoy thought secretly, and hurriedly took the carrier pigeon, took down the creed and browsed it.

After a while, the envoy who had finished reading was angry, he never expected Wang Fengmao to threaten him!

"Bastard thing!" The clan envoy couldn't help but scold angrily, "You dare to order us to kill the prince and the others!" ”

If they don't do what he says, he will make all their plans public!

The envoy's palms clenched, his fingertips digging into his skin, his eyes flickering.

"We're so self-righteous! Wang Fengmao is a key link in the plan...... But this person is starting to make people feel uneasy! ”

The clan envoy muttered, and the two black-clothed men on the side thought about it and proposed a solution:

"In that case, shall you kill him and replace him with another person who will take his place and exercise his role?"

The envoy didn't think of this solution, but he shook his head:

"It's not bad enough that even if he's out of our control, he's still in the same boat as us. What he helped us do let Li Er know that he wouldn't survive either! ”

"The relationship has changed, at least by the time he started threatening us, the relationship has changed to mutual use!"

"We help him kill, he does things for us!"

The envoy paced slowly, constantly pondering:

"He's a bit smart, and he's decided that we're not going to kill people!"

"Why?" The two men in black were puzzled.

"Our goal is not to make a big deal out of it, at least until the plot can be exposed. Therefore, if we send someone to kill him because we are threatened by him and worry that our plan will be exposed, then things will be even worse, and we will inevitably make a big fuss! ”

"Why? Because he is a court official! We are the one who propped him up to this position! ”

It is equivalent to the sudden assassination of a head of state, and this matter must be extremely sensational! It will inevitably attract a lot of probing!

The envoy said with some self-deprecation: "Now it seems that we are cocooned and bound to ourselves!" Foreigners are unreliable after all! ”

He was quite emotional, pondered in his mind for a long time, and finally solemnly spoke:

"In that case, do as he asks!"
