"The master scared me to death, and I thought I had pressed some hidden weapon." Ruwen ran over and patted his chest and said.

Liu Qingfeng put away the list and some of the letters, put the box back, and returned it to its original state, urging Ruwen to leave.

Suddenly, a long sword came towards Liu Qingfeng, and he immediately avoided it, looking at the masked man holding the sword, and couldn't help but squint his eyes.

"Your Excellency has been here for a long time, and you can't show people in person?" If you ask what you see in the courtyard, this person is not touching the ground on his toes, because of his superb martial arts.

After speaking, Liu Qingfeng pulled out his sword and made several moves with the masked man.

"It seems that he is a timid mouse, which is really boring." Liu Qingfeng stabbed him in the shoulder, only to hear him snort, he didn't even dare to make a sound, and couldn't help but mock.

The masked man's eyes were fixed on him, bursting with hatred and anger that seemed to burn everything.

Liu Qingfeng frowned, the masked man gave him a different kind of familiarity, which made him can't help but mock, so he did so.

Seeing that Gu Ren didn't make any other moves, Liu Qingfeng suddenly attacked him and took the opportunity to unmask him.

The masked man stepped back violently, Liu Qingfeng didn't give him any chance, grabbed his mask, but he turned around and dodged it, and turned his back to Liu Qingfeng.

"Ah, help, master." When Liu Qingfeng stabbed at him, Ruwen shouted loudly behind him.

Seeing that Ruwen was held to the neck by a masked man with a dagger, Liu Qingfeng put down the masked man and snatched Ruwen back.

"Well, it's not hurt." Liu Qingfeng frowned and asked. Seeing Ruwen, he shook his head, turned around to look, and the two of them were gone.

"The subordinate is guilty, and the subordinate didn't expect a person to suddenly appear, and in the blink of an eye, he put the dagger next to my neck." If he bowed his head and admitted his mistake, he was very self-blaming, if he hadn't come in with the master, the master would have unmasked the man a long time ago.

"It's okay, you just found the switch, it's gone." Liu Qingfeng said lightly and walked outside the mansion.

"Master, my subordinates are willing to drive a car for you for the rest of their lives, and then secretly see Miss Jiang." Ruwen's eyes were slightly red, and he shouted loudly behind him.

"Get out." Hearing this, Liu Qingfeng shouted sharply with a dark face and strode away.

In the early morning, Jiang Yingxue was sleeping soundly, and was woken up by the noise outside, turned over irritably, and closed her eyes again.

"Sister, I have something to tell you." Jiang Hongli's voice came, Jiang Yingxue immediately sobered up, thinking that he was in trouble again, so she turned over and got out of bed and got dressed.

"What's wrong, in such a hurry, what's wrong with you?" Jiang Yingxue opened the door and went out, and saw that he was standing in the courtyard, stopped by Xiaoqin, and asked urgently.

Yesterday, I heard him quarrel with his father, and he was called to the study again, he must have committed something and was scolded, and now he wants to beg for mercy for him.

"No, let's go inside the house." Jiang Hongli looked anxious, pushed away the blocking violin, and pulled Jiang Yingxue back to the house.

Xiaoqin hurriedly followed, closed the doors and windows, poured tea for Jiang Hongli, and stood next to the two.

"It's not me, it's our father. Recently, he has been going out early and returning late, and often does not go home, I secretly went out with him, and found that he went to Lao Peng, who managed the accounts, and Lao Peng made an agreement with the salt merchant privately. did something to the accounts and was found out, and my father has been settling the matter. Jiang Hongli poured a sip of tea and hurriedly explained.

"What, why didn't you tell me about such a big thing?" Jiang Yingxue was very stunned, the banquet was about to be held, the He family had just fallen, and the people were talking about it.

"Dad didn't let me say it, in fact, it was almost solved, after all, it was Lao Peng who used our family to make black money, so we took the blame. Yesterday, Lao Peng said that he was one person doing things and one person was in charge, but today he is gone. Jiang Hongli propped his forehead and said, his face full of anxiety.

Now that Lao Peng is missing, the government will take the blame as soon as he investigates his own family.

Dad should have caught Lao Peng back, and he shouldn't have been merciful and let him say goodbye to his family.

"This matter is not trivial, take me to Lao Peng's residence first, and quickly send more people, you must find Lao Peng." Jiang Yingxue immediately got up, asked Xiaoqin to take care of Yongping and Yongle, and walked with Jiang Hongli.

The carriage drove fast, and the horse's hooves stirred up puffs of sand and came to a halt next to a small dilapidated house.

Lao Peng is the old servant of the Jiang family, Jiang Hai treats him well, and the rewards and savings should also have a good house, how can he live in such a dilapidated house.

"That's it, Dad has already gone somewhere else to look for it, but the people from the government should ask right away." Jiang Hongli jumped out of the car and helped Jiang Yingxue down, explaining.

This time the matter was definitely premeditated, the accounts and the like have always been managed by Lao Peng, and I don't know how long it has been smuggling with salt merchants, and the government suddenly found out, it is always too much of a coincidence.

"There is more than one person living here, there should be another one, has you found it?" Jiang Yingxue approached the house, opened the closet and rummaged through it.

The clothes inside are all wide linen clothes, if you can distinguish men and women by looking at the collar, it must be Lao Peng's wife.

"Dad said that Lao Peng has always lived alone." Jiang Hongli said, seeing that she was so determined, "Then let's go and ask." ”

Jiang Yingxue walked out and found that the people living here were all old people, and they were all childless or abandoned by their children. asked many people in a row, but to no avail, Jiang Yingxue felt suspicious and was about to leave.

"Why do you little girl ask this?" The old man under the tree asked, smoking a cigarette.

"I look at the clothes in Lao Peng's wardrobe, and there is a difference between their collars, but no one knows." The old man was old, and his body exuded the smell of old people, but her eyes shone sharply, and she couldn't help but answer.

"That's good." The old man coughed and said slowly.

"What, the old man knows, can you tell me?" Jiang Yingxue walked to his side and asked dignifiedly.

"I don't want to talk too much, but I have to say it. In fact, Lao Peng also has the ability, and his family is even wealthier, but his wife is a gambler by nature, what family wealth can't lose? Fortunately, his son and daughter-in-law honored him, but they were both killed before, and the grandson who survived was even more seriously ill. The old man said slowly, coughing incessantly, and his eyes were a little gloomy, as if he was pitying Lao Peng's suffering.

"Lao Peng's wife has lost too much recently, so she moved here, if you want to find her, don't go to the casino, you can't find her here." The old man sighed lightly and shook his head.

Hearing this, Jiang Hongli frowned, even if Lao Peng is short of money, he can't smuggle it, this doesn't harm the Jiang family, Lao Peng has always been honest and responsible, how can he be confused.

"What's the name of his wife, let's go and ask for it." The old man's ears were not good, and Jiang Yingxue could only shout loudly in his ear.

"If you go, shout: Aunt Fan, I'll bet with you. She's definitely coming to you. The old man said with a smile, and then looked up at the leaves.

With the old man's reminder, the two walked towards the nearby casino, and heard the old man behind them mutter: "If you are not honest, you will be punished." ”

Jiang Yingxue didn't think much about it, and glanced at the old man sitting under the tree, he leaned on the trunk of the tree, looked at the clouds in the distance, and hummed a little song softly, very leisurely.

When she came to a nearby casino, Jiang Yingxue had to follow, so Jiang Hongli pulled her sleeve and looked around vigilantly.

Inside, they are surrounded by laughter and grief, all fanatical gamblers, squandering their possessions in search of thrills.

"Today I finally transferred, and won all the houses of the kid opposite, but I was happy, and I was about to redeem my daughter. No, maybe double. Jiang Yingxue walked by two men with their shoulders hooked and walked over, and they said very easily.

Jiang Yingxue felt very terrible, she actually sold her daughter for gambling, what if she won, she didn't continue to gamble.

"Aunt Fan, I'll bet with you." Jiang Hongli was very disgusted here, screaming and scolding, he protected Jiang Yingxue and shouted loudly, his eyes looking around.

Hearing his voice, the people around him stopped their movements, looked up at him, and smiled at the fat woman approaching.

"You come and I'll bet, okay." Mrs. Fan shouted angrily, her eyes fierce and her will to win.

"Aunt Fan, do you still have a bet? Can Lao Peng still take out something? The people around her joked that she had been in the casino for many years and had some skills, but she had helped people gamble with her before and lost everything, and now she dares to gamble.

Aunt Fan snorted coldly, what are you afraid of if she has nothing, seeing that Jiang Hongli is extravagant, she feels that it is even easier to win.

"Come on, take us to the box, it's too noisy here." Jiang Hongli said sharply to the steward, and gave him the ingots, and the eyes of the people around him were red, and they all praised Aunt Fan's good luck.

"Nobleman, come here with the little one." The steward immediately stammered, showing them the way.

Aunt Fan raised her head and followed them to the box, and smiled angrily when she closed the door, indicating that she would return with a full load.
