Chapter 233: The Scapegoat

Seeing the beauty of her face, he couldn't help but think, he gave her a little silver to bury her father, and sold it into the green building, wouldn't he be able to make a lot of money.

"Little girl, how much do you want?"

Tan'er raised his expressionless face and looked at him with clear eyes, "Uncle, as long as five taels of silver, I will be yours." ”

In addition to the money for the burial of his adoptive father, he has to leave some money for his brother, who is now sick and has no money to see a doctor, but I am afraid that he will not be able to live.

Hearing five taels of silver, people hesitated a little, this is too expensive! Now that she is still young, she can't do anything when she sells it in the Qinglou, and it is not certain that those mothers will give that price.

Shaking his head, he raised his steps to leave.

"Uncle, five taels of silver is not too expensive, I can do anything."

Xiao Tan'er saw that people were leaving, and hurriedly opened her mouth to stay, she had been kneeling here for a day, these people passed by and only looked at it a few times, and no one was willing to reach out to help her.

finally waited for someone who was willing to ask for a price, and she couldn't let him go, because he was her last straw.

The human tooth was heartbroken, and he still spent five taels of silver to buy the person, and found someone to help bury her father, and followed her inch by inch, after all, it was the money, and I was afraid that she would take the opportunity to slip away.

Then you will be empty of people and money.

A day later, Tan'er sneaked out while people were asleep, bought a few steaming buns on the street, and went to the suburbs.

There was a wooden house in the suburbs, which was dilapidated and barely able to accommodate people, and Tan'er crawled on the window to look at the coughing people inside, and tears fell.

He struggled to get up to get out of bed to pour a glass of water to drink, but he fell down again weakly, and her heart hurt even more.

threw the bun and silver in his hand from the window, turned around and ran away, she couldn't take care of him in this life, I just hoped that he could take the silver to heal and get better as soon as possible.

When I ran to the city, I was caught by the teeth of the people who came out to find someone, "Do you dare to run?" Come with me! ”

Seeing that she didn't speak, the people on the street looked at them and talked about it one after another, and their hearts were very angry, and they dragged her away after saying viciously.

"This girl is careful, and later helped me a lot, and in the end I didn't sell it, and then when I went to Suzhou, I was taken by the three county lords of the Qing family, and spent three times more than the price I bought before, and bought Tan'er as a house slave."

"You mean you brought Tan'er from the capital?" Qing Mu opened her mouth with some uncertainty, when she bought her, she thought she was from Suzhou City.

"That's still fake! I'll tell you everything I know, villain. Ren Yazi said flatteringly, for fear that Qing Mu would be unhappy, so he was unwilling to give him more reward.

Qing Mu was silent for a while, and took out a silver ticket of one hundred taels from his body, "This silver can be given to you, but you have to keep your mouth shut about this matter today, if you leak half a point, you won't die." ”

"The villain is absolutely tight-lipped and does not leak half a point." The human tooth bowed down to curry favor, which was just a trivial matter for him.

"Take it! You're good to go. ”

Ren Yazi stepped forward and took the silver ticket, and saluted the two men before retreating and walking out.

Waiting for the people to leave, Mu Shan and Qing Mucai took off their hats, "Sister Qing, what are you doing asking him about this?" And it cost so much silver. ”

If she is allowed to deal with it, if she doesn't say it, she will drag it down and beat her up, and if she keeps it for him and cleans it up properly, the things in her previous life will be shaken out.

"There are some things that need to be confirmed, and it's not a big deal, and it's best to solve it with money."

Hearing what people say, Tan'er should be a poor orphan like Xiaocui.

Qing Mu handed the hat to Xin'er, and straightened his somewhat messy bun before continuing to speak, "By the way, I'm going back to the capital tomorrow, you can go out with me." ”

Originally, she didn't plan to go back in such a hurry, but she suddenly remembered Li Mingzhou's condition, and during this time, it is estimated that everything they prepared was ready.

Mu Shan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and almost couldn't stand still, "How could you leave so soon?" ”

Qing Mu is leaving, so isn't Mo Qingfeng going back?

"I only came here to do something, but now that it's done, it's time to go back."

As if she hadn't seen Mu Shan's gaffe, Qing Mu explained the reason why she went back so quickly, "There is still a patient waiting for me to go back for treatment, so I won't stay longer." ”

Mu Shan sat for a moment before he came back to his senses and barely raised a smile, "Then let's go shopping now, by the way, what about Mo Gongzi?" ”

On weekdays, he has to follow Qing Mu when he takes a step, but he didn't follow today, and she didn't ask when she saw Qing Mu's anxious appearance before.

"He's gone to Huichun Hall, it's okay, don't call him, he still has to stay in Suzhou for a while."

As soon as he heard that Mo Qingfeng was not leaving, Mu Shan suddenly came to his senses, "Mo Gongzi is really not leaving?" ”

Seeing Qing Mu nodding seriously, Mu Shan smiled and happily followed her out.

Inside the Hall of Rejuvenation.

"Doctor Li, do you want to go to Chunfeng Tower tonight?"

A night of spring breeze, tsk, the name of this building to get that called a popular.

Doctor Li shook his head, "Mo Qingfeng, you better learn your craft hard, don't go for fun every day." ”

When he first came back not long ago, he went to have fun every day, and when he came back, he couldn't even straighten his waist.

"It's really boring, it's fun inside."

There are not only beautiful people to enjoy, but also fine wine to drink, and the sound of strings and beams to feast your ears.

The most important thing is that you can also hear a lot of useful information, because there are many people in it, and there are everyone.

Seeing that Dr. Li silently took the medicinal herbs and walked away, Mo Qingfeng felt bored, and turned around to tease another doctor.

It's a pity that this doctor is already a family man, but he doesn't dislike Mo Qingfeng's unobtrusive words, just one ear in and one ear out.

"Sister Qing, what do you want to buy and bring back?" Mu Shan walked down the street holding Qing Mu's hand and looked around.

"I don't know, let's walk around!"

Xiaocui just likes to eat, there is a lot of food in the capital, naturally there is no need to bring it from such a distant place, Tan'er, they have been embroidering with Su Niang recently, so it is better to buy them a few pieces of cloth that are abundant in Suzhou.

The next day, Qing Mu led the snow and walked out of the city gate under the escort of Mo Qingfeng.

"Don't send it, I'm waiting for you to come back in the capital."

"Okay, you go first, I'll watch you go, I'll go back."

Mo Qingfeng planned to let her go first, after all, her distance was much farther, and she had to travel for several days in a row. He was different, the city gate was very close to the Rejuvenation Hall, and he could go back in a few steps.

"Okay, then I'm leaving!" Qing Mu said and took the burden in his hand and put it on his shoulder, turned over and rode on the horse, and ran out as fast as an arrow with a whip and stepping on the snow.

Mo Qingfeng stood alone at the city gate, watching Qing Mu's back getting farther and farther away, feeling a little uncomfortable, he hid some things from her, hoping that she would not resent herself too much in the future.

The capital, the Prime Minister's Mansion.

"You look weird, isn't there something big about the old emperor?"

"He ordered to hold a hunt today, which was supposed to be a good time for us to do it, who knew that he actually asked me to assist the second prince in handling this matter."

Now he is difficult to ride a tiger, if he does it, there is a problem with public security, and the emperor will never be able to cut his own son, and all the blame must be on himself.

But if you don't do it, you can't wait for it anymore, and this time you will send Fourteen over, if you don't do it again, I'm afraid that you will have to go back to the Nameless Mountain again.

"Have you confused your brain after coming out for so long? Such a great opportunity, of course, is to be done! ”

She had heard that the royal enclosure was extremely deep in the mountains and forests, and the terrain was very conducive to their actions, even if they couldn't kill the old emperor, they could still let him shed his skin.

"But if we miss, how do we get out of it? But don't forget, I'm Liu Yong now. ”

Liu Yong is the prime minister of Beiguning, and he must be with him when the time comes, and if he finds a problem, he will be the first to be exposed.

"When the time comes, won't you get out of the house under the pretext of going to the hut or something? No matter how cautious they are, they can't go up to the hut and follow you, and if the mission fails, we will retreat. ”

"Withdraw? Are you saying that a game of chess that you have worked so hard to manage has been ruined? ”

Fourteen was a little unwilling, his hands pinched his knees tightly, and the green tendons on the back of his hands burst out.

"How can it be considered ruined? When the time comes, you will slip away, the real Liu Yong will come back, and the mistakes you have made will be attributed to him, even if you can't get rid of the old emperor, you can also discount one of his arms, and we will have an explanation when we go back. ”

If you stay here rashly and they see the clues, then the gains outweigh the losses, and Su Qi is Liu Yong is really back.

Mu Jing's fourteenth came back to his senses and understood what Qiu Ling meant, if he didn't succeed, he could let Liu Yong be a scapegoat.

Qiu Ling's eyes darkened, Liu Yong, don't blame me for being ruthless, no matter how much the old emperor punishes, he will not be able to kill him.

But fourteen is different, if you go back to the nameless mountain, whether you can walk out or not is a problem, and if you don't do it, you will die.

"But, you really can't bear to be ............ Liu Yong"

Qiu Ling's eyes darkened, although Fourteen didn't break anything, but the meaning of the words, she couldn't be clearer.

"Fourteen, I am Qiu Ling, the code name of the Dark Night Palace is Qiu Ling, from the first day I entered the Dark Night Palace, I am Qiu Ling."

The tone was resolute, without the slightest hesitation.

Fourteen was stunned by her, "Okay, we're going to complete this mission, and when it's over, we'll leave the Night Palace." ”

Qiu Ling nodded, and the wound under his eye was not seen by Fourteen.

Dingwangfu.

Liu Yong was thinking about things in the study, and Mu Qi hurried back quickly.

Hearing the movement, Liu Yong walked out of the room, "How is it?" What is the abnormal reaction of the fake prime minister? ”

Mu Qi looked around and found that no one spoke, "No, the emperor handed over this matter to him and the second prince, and the matter is under our control." ”

"We don't know how many people they have in the capital, but the terrain of the hunting ground is special, although it is close to the mountains and the terrain is steep, but for those Deadpools, it is not difficult. Su Qiis, after we made it clear, it was tantamount to telling them that the emperor would appear in the hunting ground. ”

"I know it's risky, but right now, we have to. The bait has been laid down, and it depends on the fish not being able to take the bait. The hunting ground is a place where the fake prime minister can relax, and if he loses this opportunity, it will be difficult for him to get closer to the emperor. ”

"Aren't you afraid that they won't do it?"

Muzi pondered for a moment, "This time, they will definitely do it." ”

He knew about the Dark Night Palace, the Winged King controlled the Dark Night Palace, according to the Winged King's temperament, how could he miss this great opportunity just like this.

Moreover, the missions released by the Night Palace are rarely carried out for a long time, and they are generally often resolved quickly. According to the time, this fake prime minister has been here for a while.

Lee House.

Li Mingliao repaired the place according to Qing Mu's request, it was absolutely dry, not damp at all, and asked people to go to the winery to buy the strongest wine and spill every corner.

Everywhere you walked in, there was a smell of alcohol, and it was very strong.

Li Mingzhou sat in a bamboo wheelchair, pushed by his subordinates, his belly was already very big, just like a woman who was about to give birth, his spirit was almost devoured, and the whole person looked very weak.

He wanted to come and see in advance the place that would decide his life and death.

"Big brother, do you have any news about the person you sent to find Qingxue?"

He couldn't wait a little, because it was really difficult to see people like this, although these subordinates were all henchmen of the Li Mansion, and they didn't dare to say anything in front of him, but behind his back, they said it very ugly, and everything he said was evil.

Although Li Mingliao explicitly forbade the people in the mansion to spread the matter outside, gossip could still be heard in this mansion.

Li Mingliao sighed deeply, "She hasn't come back yet, she went back to Suzhou, count the time, she should be back soon." Second brother, don't worry. ”

"Brother, I believe that Qingxue is a person who keeps her promises, and she will definitely come back within the agreed time. So, I'm not worried that the light snow won't come back. Li Mingzhou comforted Li Mingliao, he knew that his brother was more anxious than himself.

"I also know that I will have people guard the city gates, so go back to the house and rest. It's too much tossing for fear that the body will not be able to bear it. ”

Li Mingzhou knew that his brother was afraid that he would be tired, so he nodded, "Push me back." ”

He was also stuffy in the house, so he wanted to come out to breathe.

When he gets better, he must go out for a walk and take a look at all these beautiful rivers and mountains.

Xiaocui is much better under Zeng Huaqian's care, no longer lying motionless in bed every day, today she deliberately walked around the yard a few times, and saw that the two willow trees in the yard grew very well, and suddenly had a thought.

"Tan'er, do you think it's good to build a swing here? After a few days, let the flower house move a few sunset flowers over and wrap them around it, it must be very beautiful. ”

Tan'er was sitting in the shade of the tree embroidering, and she heard that the Hundred Flowers Festival in the capital was very lively, and she thought that she must go out this year to dress up the county lord beautifully, and fascinate a group of men, maybe she could meet a better man than Mu Qi.

Seeing Xiao Cui's eagerness to try, Tan'er shook her head helplessly, "The county lord hasn't come back yet, you should be honest!" ”

I heard that the sunset flower is a poisonous thing, which will make a woman's face undefeated, but it will make people unable to get pregnant, so this flower has been shelved in the flower room for ornamentation.

The person who manages the flower room is the old man left before this mansion, and if he stays in the flower house for a long time, he always has a souvenir, so he stays in this mansion.

Generally, other yards need flowers, and they send rough maids to come and send a message to him. There are few people like Tan'er, who personally choose flowers for the master, so they can't help but say a few more words to her.

"Little girl, what flowers do you want, tell me when you've picked them." The flower keeper looked at her with a smile on his face.

"Uncle, you're busy, I'll just take a look for myself." Tan'er responded gently, she had already seen a few pots of moon season when she first came in, but she felt that only moon season was too monotonous.

"Okay." The flower keeper agreed, but his eyes never left Tan'er's figure.

Seeing that one of her hands had already touched the sunset flower, she hurriedly shouted, "That flower can't be touched!" ”

"Why?"

Tan'er is a little blindfolded, can't such a beautiful flower be touched? So why plant it in a flower house?

The flower keeper sighed before he slowly spoke, "This flower is called Xiyan, and it was originally left by the hostess of this mansion, but the woman's face is undefeated, but she can't have children anymore, so you better stay away from this flower." ”

Back then, the hostess used this flower to compete for favor, and the daytime was radiant, enough to fascinate a man in the world, and the male owner was also very fond of her, but after a few years of grace, the stomach still did not move, and the big family had no heirs for seven years It was unfilial, and the male owner obeyed the old lady's words very much, and it didn't take long to give her away.

The bride was carried in, and the hostess could not bear the humiliation, so she died with the man that day, and then the old lady felt distressed, so she ordered the flower to be burned.

It's just that at that time, he felt that this flower was very unique, it only bloomed in the evening, and it took a lot of effort to feed, so he was reluctant, replaced it with other flowers, and secretly hid it in the hidden corner of the flower room.

Tan'er was taken aback, but fortunately the old man stopped the exit, otherwise she would have brought this flower back to Xiyuan, "Thank you, uncle, then I only need those few Yueji." ”

The flower farmer gave Yueji to a group of small servants behind Tan'er, and Tan'er thanked her again and left.

"I've been honest these days, I just want to make a swing, and when the county lord comes back, I can enjoy the shade and read a book under the tree."

Xiaocui sat opposite her angrily, Tan'er sometimes Mu Bingbing's is annoying, but she knows that there is nothing wrong with this person's heart, after all, she has been taking care of herself for more than ten days, eating, drinking, and scrubbing her body without complaints.

Tan'er put down the work in her hand, looked at Xiao Cui's high lips, and was about to hang up the next teapot, "I think you want to play by yourself!" ”

"Yes and what? If the county is here, he will definitely support me. Xiao Cui was really unhappy, and her tone of voice was a little bad.

"Okay, you can do swings, but you can't raise sunset flowers in the yard."

"Got it."

Xiaocui agreed, although she couldn't understand why such a beautiful flower couldn't be kept in the yard, the two of them tossed around in the yard, and the swing was finally done, but it looked very monotonous, and it felt ugly no matter how you looked at it.

In the end, Tan'er found a few red ribbons from the room and tied them to them, and tied a few bells, which rang "jingling" as soon as they waved, like wind chimes hanging on the porch.

"Tan'er, you are so amazing, I am very happy to see it, and the county lord must also like it."

Xiaocui sat on the swing and swung it, much like her father had built it for her in the yard when she was a child.

"When do you think the county lord will come back? It's been a few days, so something happened in Suzhou, right? ”

When Zeng Huaqian walked in with Qing Qingran, she heard this sentence.

"Didn't Qing Mu go to the palace? How did you get to Suzhou? ”

"That's right, didn't you say that my sister went to the hospital? Why did you go to Suzhou again? ”

Xiao Cui couldn't wait to slap herself, and for a while she was a little carried away and said that she had leaked her mouth, and she opened her mouth a little hesitantly, "You heard it wrong, I'm talking about the palace." ”

"Do you mean we're deaf?"

The names of the two places in Suzhou and the palace are different, and it is only after multiple ears that you can hear it wrong.
