The troubles of the Jinyi Hou Mansion came one after another, Gu Qinghan supported a mansion of Nuoda, although he was still calm and comfortable in front of people, but he was already exhausted, this night, he was extremely tired, and when he returned to the Hou Mansion, Yang Ning comforted him, and Gu Qinghan took a short rest. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Yang Ning knew in his heart that if Qi Jing was alive, these things that happened one after another should not have happened, but with Qi Jing's death, there were many people with ill intentions.

Although Dou Lianzhong had already appeared, Yang Ning also noticed that this person must be somewhat involved with everyone, but he didn't think that the Dou family would be the mastermind behind the scenes.

Although Hubu Shangshu is a high-ranking official of the empire, if he wants to deal with the Jinyi Marquis Mansion, with the Dou family alone, I am afraid that he does not have that strength.

Although the Jinyi Hou Mansion seems to be in decline, the two generations of Jinyi Hou have made outstanding achievements in the empire, and they are both generals in the army, at least they have a deep foundation in the military, just look at Xue Lingfeng, the commander of the Tiger God Battalion, who protected himself that day, it can be seen that the network foundation laid by the Jinyi Hou has not completely disappeared with the death of Qi Jing, no matter who wants to do something to the Jinyi Hou Mansion, how much still has to be considered.

The Jiangling tax and silver have not arrived for a long time, the Zhongling Courtyard has been assassinated, and this time the pawnshop has a fire, on the surface, these things seem to be unrelated, but Yang Ning still keenly feels that behind this incident, there must be a line connected together.

He even felt that the Jinyi Hou Mansion was actually on the edge of the cliff at the moment, and the other party would never end here, if his guess was not wrong, there should be a backhand next, and there was only a trace of negligence on the side of the Jinyi Hou Mansion, and it was very likely that it would usher in a catastrophe.

He was already sensitive to danger, and this feeling was very strong at the moment.

The most annoying thing is that the current Qi family is almost a plate of scattered sand, the third old lady and Qi Yu's mother and son are obviously colluding together, embarrassed, and separated from the Hou Mansion, the pillars of the Qi family who can take charge of themselves are no longer alive, and all that is left behind are some wine bags and rice bags, these people are not only not beneficial to the Hou Mansion, but have become the cancer of the Hou Mansion.

Yang Ning naturally has no feelings for the Jinyi Hou Mansion, but he knows in his heart that although Gu Qinghan is capable, he is a woman after all, if there is really someone behind the Jinyi Hou Mansion, then the opponent's strength is definitely not weak, Gu Qinghan may be able to deal with the turmoil in the mansion, but it is really not easy to deal with the storm outside.

The waves in the imperial city are treacherous, and the entire capital seems to be calm, but Yang Ning always feels that this is like the calm before the storm, he can't predict how big things will happen next, but he knows that if he is not careful, the Jinyi Marquis Mansion is likely to be shattered, and the fate of Gu Qinghan and these people will be very sad.

At this time, if he left, with the current situation of the Marquis of Jinyi, he might not use too much energy to pursue himself, but just let it go, Yang Ning always felt a little uneasy in his heart.

He secretly thought that he would try his best to maintain it for now, but when it was too difficult to control, he would make plans for himself.

Dou Lianzhong was true to his word, not long after the sun came out in the sky, Yang Ning received a report that the son of the household department Shangshu came to visit.

Yang Ning was also unambiguous, and asked Dou Lianzhong to enter the house.

Zhao Xin followed Dou Lianzhong into the house together, and under the leadership of the servant, he arrived at the main hall, but Yang Ning was not in the main hall, and the servant only said that the prince was freshening up and would come out to meet the guests soon.

The tea was sent, Dou Lianzhong took a sip, it was also a good tea, although he was the son of the Hubu Shangshu, but all along, he really had never sat in the main hall of the Hou Mansion so swaggeringly, and now he came to the door as a debt collector, and he only felt comfortable all over his body.

"I heard that the affairs of your Hou Mansion are all taken care of by the third lady, and I came here today to do business, it doesn't matter if the prince can see it, but I want to meet the third lady." Dou Lianzhong held the tea, his eyes flashed, and he said to the servant waiting on the side: "Actually, your family can't handle such a big matter. ”

He naturally knew for a long time that the head of the Jinyi Marquis Mansion was a beautiful widow, but he had never seen it, and he saw it last night, and he was shocked, he was a wandering person, and he had seen countless pink butterflies and green willows, even the noble lady was not a few, but it was rare to see a character like Gu Qinghan.

The servant just lowered his head and said nothing.

Zhao Xin saw that there was no one left and right, so he leaned in and whispered: "Childe, Qi Ning looked confident last night, he won't really be able to come up with more than 10,000 taels of silver, right?" This Jinyi Hou Mansion looks like a big family, and more than 10,000 taels of silver doesn't seem to be a big deal for them. ”

"The gold and jade are ruined on the outside." Dou Lianzhong chuckled lightly and said in a low voice: "I am clear about the situation in their family, I sent someone to keep an eye on the neighborhood last night, after Qi Ning returned home, he never went out at all, and it is impossible to take out more than 10,000 taels of silver at once." He looked confident, "Just look, see how I clean them up today." ”

Waiting left and right, but never seeing Gu Qinghan and Qi Ning appear, Dou Lianzhong lost patience, got up and said, "Where are you three ladies?" Debts to pay off, so you can be okay if you hide? ”

The servant finally raised his head and said, "The third lady is unwell, and the affairs in the house will be handled by the prince for the time being." ”

Dou Lianzhong was disappointed for a while, but he still said: "Since it is the son of the world who handles it, what about others?" ”

"This ......!" The servant hesitated for a moment before he said, "The prince is busy ...... in the side hall!" ”

"What's more important than paying off debt?" Dou Lianzhong's eyes rolled, and he strode out of the door, "Lead the way." ”

The servant was still hesitating, and Dou Lianzhong had already scolded: "What are you in a daze, don't lead the way, my son doesn't have time to spend here." ”

The servant had no choice but to lead the way in front, Dou Lianzhong led Zhao Xin to follow behind, through a long corridor, but went around to the back door of the side hall, the back door was slightly open, Dou Lianzhong looked inside, only to see Yang Ning sitting at a table, with his hands on his cheeks, staring at an object on the table, motionless, as if he was in a daze.

Dou Lianzhong was puzzled, the servant was about to report, Dou Lianzhong raised his hand to stop, entered the door lightly, the sun was shining outside, and the hall on this side was slightly dim, only then did he see clearly, there was an antique on the table, Dou Lianzhong was well-informed, and he could see at a glance that it was a horse made of glass.

He walked behind Yang Ning with his hands behind his back, Yang Ning didn't seem to notice, Dou Lianzhong glanced at the glazed horse, thinking that he thought it was some kind of precious thing, this plaything was only a few dozen taels of silver, and the glass was not a rare thing, but the horse was realistic and lifelike, like a hoof galloping.

He smiled secretly in his heart, feeling that this Jinyi Marquis Mansion had indeed declined, and the dignified prince of Jinyi was in a daze at such a glazed horse, as if he had not seen anything good.

"Shizi, what are you looking at?" Dou Lianzhong had the intention to frighten Yang Ning, raised his hand and patted Yang Ning on the shoulder, and when he heard Yang Ning's strange scream, he almost jumped up, Dou Lianzhong saw his frightened expression, and immediately laughed, and said: "The prince is also from a martial arts family, how can he be so weak?" ”

Yang Ning looked a little embarrassed, and smiled reluctantly: "It turned out to be Dou ..... Brother Dou! ”

Dou Lianzhong's face sank, and he said: "Shizi, my brother also settles accounts, there is no brother or brother today, you should know what I came to do." Looking at Zhao Xin, who was standing outside the door, Zhao Xin immediately came in the door, and said with a smile: "Shizi, I came as promised." ”

Yang Ning raised his hand and scratched the back of his head, and said, "I'm thinking about this, since I have already promised, I won't break my promise." ”

Dou Lianzhong sat down on the chair next to him and said, "Shizi, we are not outsiders, I have an upright temperament, and if you have something to say, can you really take out 15,000 taels of silver?" He added, "What we want is cash." ”

"Cash?" Yang Ning frowned and said, "To tell you the truth, I don't have that much cash on me. ”

Dou Lianzhong immediately sank his face, "No silver?" Then you swore last night that you would pay your debts? Shizi, the reputation of the Marquis of Jinyi, but the two generations of your Qi family have accumulated, if you go back on your word, this spreads, the reputation of the Marquis of Jinyi will plummet, and the reputation that you have accumulated with great difficulty will be ruined by you in an instant. ”

"Don't worry." Yang Ning said: "I didn't say no. Pointing to the glass horse on the table, he smiled bitterly: "Aren't I thinking about whether I want to use this treasure to pay off the debt?" ”

"Baby?" Dou Lianzhong glanced at the glazed horse, and said with a smile: "I said Lord Shizi, do you think that this broken thing can be worth fifteen thousand taels of silver?" Disdainfully said: "To tell you the truth, such a thing, even the door of our household Shangshu Mansion can't enter, and it can be worth fifty taels of silver to break through the sky, you actually whimsically use it to pay off debts, do you really not know the goods?" ”

"Worthless?" Yang Ning also laughed, "Brother Dou, does you think it's just a glass horse?" If that's the case, how can it become an heirloom for our family? ”

When Dou Lianzhong heard this, he was slightly surprised, and said, "You said that this is the heirloom of your Jinyi Mansion?" ”

Yang Ning sighed and said: "This is handed down from my grandfather's hand, but it has always been kept by my grandmother, and now my Hou Mansion does not have so much cash for a while, so my grandmother can only take it out painfully, if it is not a difficult time, it is rare for ordinary people to take a look." Pretending to be surprised, he said: "Brother Dou should be a master who knows how to treasure and treasures, why did his eyes fail this time?" ”

Dou Lianzhong saw Yang Ning's serious expression, and thought to himself that it was difficult for him to really lose his eyes, after all, the Jinyi Hou Mansion used to have a heyday of burning oil, if they had a few priceless treasures, Dou Lianzhong really did not doubt that Yang Ning said that this glazed horse was the heirloom of the Qi family, I am afraid that there is another mystery in it.

"Shizi, can you let me take a closer look?" Dou Lianzhong also boasts of being an expert on weekdays, thinking that he can't lose face in front of Yang Ning.

Yang Ning hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded: "I'm afraid that this thing will be handed over to you when I turn around, you can see it, but be careful." ”

Only then did Dou Lianzhong stretch out his hand and carefully picked up the heirloom of the Marquis of Jinyi's mansion.
