Volume 1 Wanfu Li Chapter 162 Two Branches and One Bei

When the innermost house in Taishui Alley in Shi'en City first moved in, the neighbors felt a little strange, the house inside had been abandoned for several years, it used to be the home of a courtier in South Vietnam, and then because he angered the emperor Yang Yu and was dismissed, this person left the house after the family left Shi'en City, and then some people saw it but said that it was unlucky and always stayed, until after the destruction of South Vietnam, a family suddenly moved in, and the accent was not local.

On the day of coming, the alley was unprecedentedly lively, seven or eight carriages stopped at the entrance of the alley and could not enter, at least more than 100 people carried things back and forth, and the large boxes were carried in one by one and covered with red cloth.

However, this house is not big and dilapidated, how could a rich and powerful person choose such a place to live?

After the new owner moved in, he rarely showed his face, and every once in a while the alley would stop the carriage and a person in brocade clothes came to visit, and later people speculated that the new owner of the house was afraid that it was a certain big man in the original court, and he lost his power after the destruction of the country, but after all, the family was big, so he couldn't tell which magnificent compound he moved out of here to avoid for a while.

Everyone guessed like this, so they didn't dare to bother, and in the past few years, they have seen people in the courtyard go out, but they have hardly greeted people, and they look at the nobles with a cold look.

In the evening, an ordinary carriage stopped at the mouth of the alley, and the people sitting at the mouth of the alley chatting watched the two brightly dressed people walking in the carriage and did not even take a second look.

These two people went to the depths of the alley and knocked on the door, three long and two short, but who would care about this among ordinary people.

A subordinate in a green coat opened the courtyard door and quickly invited people in.

This house is indeed not big, but now it is very elegant, a few years ago, it was completely renovated once, the rockery lotus pond was built, the flower garden was also very neat, and a zigzag promenade was built, Pingyue Road was rainy and had this promenade that was rainy and could walk in the yard, and non-large households could not be built.

The two guests followed the lead to the living room, just sat down for tea, a young woman wearing a lilac dress slowly walked out of the study, the two guests quickly stood up and saluted, the young woman waved her hand casually and shook her waist to sit down on the side of the main seat.

This woman looks twenty-six or seventeen years old, with a good figure like a vixen, the waist is thin as if she can shake it with a little more strength, but there are also upper and lower circumferences that make people swallow saliva, the most important thing is that she is also good-looking, it is the type that makes people inexplicably hot in the lower abdomen at a glance, but she is cold enough, so her temperament is in sharp contrast with her face and figure, and it is more flavorful to look at.

When the young woman sat down, she naturally crossed her legs, and it was rare for a woman to sit like this, which seemed to be a little more dissolute in the constraints of the current customs, but the two guests kept their heads down as if they were afraid that they would make the young woman feel that they had offended her.

"Sit and talk."

The young woman picked up the teacup and blew it, which made her a little more mature and charming.

"Proprietor, things are not going well."

"Huh?"

The young woman put down her teacup: "Say it." ”

One of them stood up and leaned over slightly and replied: "At night, Han Zhaozhi, the capital of Tingwei Mansion, encountered an ambush not long after he came out of the yamen of the Daofu, I don't know what the killer was very strong but did not succeed, Han Zhaozhi should have injured the killer but was run away, so the people of Tingwei Mansion were tracking down all night, and found Funing Temple in the second half of the night." ”

The young woman's face changed slightly: "Go on." ”

The middle-aged man who spoke was called Qiu Qiu, his name was a little awkward, the Qiu family was a well-known wealthy family in South Vietnam, and there had been several noble concubines before and after, but the most famous was Qiu Xian, the former secretary of the military department of South Vietnam, who was still alive, because he took the lead in opening the city gate and surrendering.

When the Nanyue Kingdom was still there, Qiu Xian was extremely beautiful, Yang Yu's favorite concubine was his sister, and the national teacher Ruan Ke was his mentor, so it seemed that he was the one who should not advocate surrender, but he also led the troops to trap Yang Yu in the imperial city, and also tied a rope to his mentor Ruan Ke with his own hands, and finally even his sister was favored by Shi Yuanxiong He personally drove it to Shi Yuanxiong's military tent, such a man did the most unmanly things.

Qiu Xian saved the whole family because of this, and later sent a lot of gold and silver to Shi Yuanxiong, wanting to get an official and a half-position in the local area, but Shi Yuanxiong slept with his sister and took his silver, and finally patted his ass and left, Qiu Xian didn't get anything.

Qiu Qiu is Qiu Xian's younger brother, he was one of the four generals of the forbidden army of Nanyue, and he also became an idle person after the destruction of the country, but because they were all meritorious, Emperor Daning issued an order to give them some titles but no real power, and barely retained the qualification to wear brocade clothes.

In front of this young woman, Qiu Qiu, who had a very high status, seemed so humble, in fact, even Qiu Qiu didn't know exactly what the identity of this woman was, but he knew that what they wanted to do in Pingyue Road had to ask this woman to do it.

The young woman said and continued, so Qiu Qiu lowered her voice and said: "Later, it was confirmed that the killer did go to Funing Temple, and he borrowed it there for several days before and gave Funing Temple a lot of incense money, and the injury was personally treated by the host of Funing Temple, it should be that he led Han Zhaozhi to Funing Temple, from now on, Han Zhaozhi did not have the slightest suspicion of Funing Temple before." ”

The young woman seemed to breathe a sigh of relief: "And then? ”

"The killer has already run away in advance, and Han Zhaozhi sent someone to search the Funing Temple......"

The young woman's expression tensed up again when she had just relaxed a little, and after a moment of silence, she asked, "How many have you found?" ”

"All."

Qiu Qiu's voice was a little hoarse: "The things hidden in the Funing Temple at the beginning have been searched, at least 700,000 taels of silver, as well as a batch of weapons and armor, as well as a lot of food, the weapons are all anointed and sealed before they are hidden, and they can be used when they are taken out, but the steel seals supervised by the former Yue State Military Department have been worn off, and the silver is all cash, and the treasury silver from Nanyue was moved out and re-melted and cast into silver bricks.......

The young woman pondered for a moment: "Go and deal with it." ”

She picked up the teacup again: "One of the people who participated in the incident in Funing Temple back then is counted as one, and all of them were killed except for you, Han Zhaozhi is like a mad dog, his nose is too sharp, his teeth are too sharp, and he bites harder, if he doesn't know anything before, so many things found in Funing Temple will make him suspicious, if there are no weapons and armor, it would be better, let the host grit his teeth and carry it, and say that it was the property he had accumulated a few years ago......"

Qiu Qiu was obviously a little embarrassed: "It's been several years, and there were so many people involved at the beginning, so it may not be easy to deal with it for a while." ”

"Then you'll die."

The young woman put down the teacup and said in a flat tone: "You call me the proprietor, but you all know that the real proprietor is naturally not me, if this matter involves the proprietor, you will die in front of me, I will die in front of the proprietor, we are all dead The proprietor can be clean, so if you don't want to die, try to move faster than Han Zhaozhi." ”

Another middle-aged man who had not spoken all this time stood up and said with a solemn face: "Let's go now, the proprietor can rest assured, within three days, all the people who participated in the incident in Funing Temple will be eliminated." ”

This person's name is Zhu Qi, another of the four generals of the forbidden army of the former South Vietnamese State.

"Two days."

The young woman stretched out two fingers and shook them: "Two days at most, in fact, I think that the host of Funing Temple will recruit everything if he can't hold on for three hours in Han Zhaozhi's hands, fortunately, the original things were done separately, those people in Funing Temple only knew that a batch of things were carried in, and they didn't know who asked for it, but the few who were in charge of escorting knew that before the people who escorted were turned out by Han Zhaozhi one by one, you had better not waste a breath of time." ”

"Let's go."

The two men clasped their fists and saluted and turned to leave, and the young woman was silent for a moment and then said: "If you don't do a good job, I can only ask the proprietor to send someone, you all know that if the proprietor directly sends someone to prove that you have no value in existence, don't you all like to talk about ideals the most, then become ruthless for your ideals, don't let the proprietor think you are a waste." ”

The two men stopped at the same time, obviously with some anger on their faces, and after glancing at each other, neither of them said anything and hurried away.

After the two men left, the young woman's face became more difficult to look at, and her hand holding the teacup trembled a little, and after about half a pillar of incense, she seemed to understand something, and her expression relaxed a little.

"Youbei."

As she screamed, a girl who looked to be seventeen or eighteen years old came out of the back room quickly: "What did the gentleman call me?" ”

The two men called the young woman the proprietor, and the maiden called her sir.

"The north should send someone to get rid of Han Zhaozhi, but I can't trust them, you go in person, you have to remember that Han Zhaozhi is a ghost, sixteen of the top twenty on the Yangtai ticket number were killed by him, what makes me even more suspicious is that there were several people in the Jiazi camp in Gyeonggi Province who were not convinced by the new emperor's accession to the throne, and these people all had accidents later, some said it was a violent illness, some said it was a natural disaster, and eighty percent of it was Han Zhaozhi's hand...... When it comes to assassination, Han Zhaozhi is the one who should be ranked first, you should be careful. ”

The corners of the girl's mouth hooked slightly: "Mr. has taught me for seven years, and I have not forgotten the skills I have learned in seven years, and Mr. said that it is easier for women to succeed in killing people than men, as long as Han Zhaozhi is still a man, I must have a way to kill him, no matter how powerful a man is, he will have the common problems that men have." ”

"Well, don't be careless after all."

The young woman stood up and walked out of the window to look at the light rain that was falling again, and she was a little distracted: "It's been five or six years since I've been here, right?" ”

Youbei replied, "It's been almost seven years." ”

"I was about your age back then."

The young woman looked at the rain curtain and said to herself: "I have only been back four times in the past seven years, and the longest one was eleven days, and he gave this side to me, so I made this place my home...... However, a place without him is not home after all, young Bei...... You must not have an accident, we have to go back to the north, and we have to live longer and longer, he promised me to stay for the rest of my life, I promised you not to leave. ”

Youbei didn't know why Mr. suddenly became so sad, not only sad, but even a little afraid, she just felt that Mr. was a little too cautious and pessimistic, Han Zhaozhi was really so terrible?

Looking at the disappointed face full of worry, Youbei took a deep breath and told herself not to let herself fail Mr. like the two men before, seven years, Mr. has been here for seven years, just because the proprietor said that after this period of time, there will always be a time when the clouds will open and the moon will brighten, and now it seems that Han Zhaozhi is that layer of clouds.

"Sir, go and rest."

Youbei tidied up her clothes, took a beautiful oil-paper umbrella from the door and opened it, looking back and smiling: "In the few days when I was not at home, Mr. has to eat seriously, your appetite has always been bad, if you don't eat again, you will be even thinner." ”

The young woman suddenly wanted to shout for you to come back, but she didn't shout.

The girl had already walked out of the courtyard with an umbrella.
