Ma Mingyan's maid sat down on the chair when she heard this, and looked at Xu Han and Xiao Wei in a daze.
Xu Han said with a smile,
"We are not shirking responsibility, but this cause and effect is not on Xiao Shizi."
"If you girls were proud of their lives in the Hou Mansion, that would not have happened, but the princes in your mansion had not seen anyone that day.
His wife was beaten, but he didn't even show his face, let alone do one or two maintenance.
Also, you, Mrs. Hou, want to be angry with your girls for so many years, maybe they have been waiting for this day for a long time.
If there is no Xiao Shizi, there are also Cheng Shizi, Wang Shizi, and Chengen Gongzi just bumped into it. ”
Xu Han's words made Xiao Wei hook the corners of his mouth.
The maid seemed to be moved, and the corners of her lips suddenly had a wry smile,
"Our girl is really not having a good time, and after enduring it for so many years, she hasn't gotten a good result."
Xu Han pursed her lips in her heart, everything is her own choice, since Ma Mingyan chose to divorce the Huo family and jump into the fire pit of the Yongyi Marquis Mansion, no matter how she was burned by the fire, it was her choice.
However, she said,
"I know that many men in the world have problems with the twilight of the day, and the world is like this, and I can't say that they are wrong, but such people are not worthy of you girls."
The maid clenched her fists and looked at Xu Han in a daze, her heart turned over and over,
"You brought me here, what do you want to do?"
Xu Han thought about it and remained silent,
"You just walked around outside, are you looking for someone? We can help you find it, and we can also help you get revenge. ”
Hearing this, the maid looked at Xu Han several times, and then said,
"I didn't look for anyone, I just went out for a walk, the girl had already given us the deed, Mrs. Hou kicked me out, and I didn't dare to go back to Ma's house, so I could only wander outside."
Xu Han smiled, noncommittal, thought for a while, and then felt something out of the cuff and said,
"Since you have nowhere to go, I have something here that you might need."
A sign half the size of a palm was placed on the table.
"This is ......" The maid took a breath, subconsciously touched her waist, her face changed slightly, and she looked at Xu Han.
Xu Handao,
"This is Qin Lou's brand, it is for the person who took the task, although there is no special mark, but as long as anyone who knows a little about the rivers and lakes knows that this is Qin Lou's token, after the matter is completed, they will take back the token."
"So, what are you looking for Qin Lou's people for?"
The maid picked up the token, rubbed it, and after half a sound, she raised her head and looked straight at Xu Han, as for Xiao Wei, she didn't give him a look.
"The reason why I came to them was purely accidental." Speaking of this, the maid couldn't help but sit up straight, and the appearance of everyone's maid appeared.
She said,
"The second master of our family had an accident, and the eldest master entered the cell inexplicably, Yongyi Hou's attitude towards the girl was very bad, and the son of the world seemed to die on the belly of his aunt, no one was born, no body was seen in death, but Mrs. Hou also gave the prince a cover.
Seeing that my mother-in-law's family was unreliable, our girl wanted to protect herself, but by coincidence, I saved a man outside, and that man turned out to be the Qinlou killer who went on a mission.
I had good intentions to save people, but I didn't expect to be a killer, so I went back and told the girl.
Who knows, the girl was very excited, and asked me to contact the man and ask Qin Lou to help her kill people......
At this time, the maid finally glanced at Xiao Wei, waved her hand and said, "Don't get me wrong, it's not to kill the prince, but to kill the prince of Yongyi, our uncle." ”
"Who knows, the killer said, if you want to take this, don't need money, let our girl exchange something else."
At the end of speaking, she still glanced at Xiao Wei, and finally turned to Xu Han, as if she was a little embarrassed.
Xu Han frowned and said, "What do you exchange for?" ”
The maid pursed her lips, and suddenly said, "Did the little prince participate in the case of Jiangnan in the first place, that is, the ...... of our second master?"
Xu Han raised her eyebrows, she seemed to have only introduced Xiao Wei's identity, how did this maid know her identity?
Suddenly, I thought of the spread of the capital, and my heart was dry, and suddenly, her heart suddenly stopped in mid-air, changed things, and asked her about her experience, did she say that Ma Mingyan had anything in her hand?
She nodded, "yes, so ......"
The maid suddenly raised her head, her eyes were tenacious,
"I am willing to give the things in my hand to the little prince, but I also have a request, please be sure to agree, when the Yongyi Hou Mansion is pulled off the horse in the future, I want the little prince to leave the life of the Yongyi Hou Shizi to me to dispose of."
Xu Han paused slightly and said,
"Why?"
"Our girl originally had a very good family business, but because of Yongyi Hou Shizi, and our girl didn't know anything, she was deceived by him, entered the fire pit of the Hou Mansion, and finally died.
I want to avenge our girl. ”
"I believe that the little prince is a person of high character, if the little prince can agree, I will tell you everything I know."
The air was suddenly quiet, Xu Han looked at the maid whose hands trembled slightly, and did not make a sound for a long time.
In her eyes, Ma Mingyan was a treacherous person, and she was a little happy when she knew that she was dead, after all, she betrayed the Huo family.
But people have fronts, maybe Ma Mingyan is a very good person in front of the maid.
In this world, it is not black and white, perhaps, many people are in that gray.
The maid's tone lowered, "I know, even if you don't, you can pull down the Hou Mansion, but if the little prince can find me, it can be seen that there must be my usefulness, and what I have in my hand is definitely something that impresses you." ”
Xu Han exhaled, glanced at Xiao Wei slightly, saw him nod slightly, and said,
"Okay, I can promise you that I will leave the life of Yongyi Hou Shizi to you, of course, Mrs. Hou's life can also be done."
The maid was slightly stunned, and her eyes were red.
She smiled, "Thank you, little prince, sure enough, although the little prince seems to be a merry man, he is actually a gentle person at heart, and the strange lady in the capital wants to marry you now." ”
Xu Han blushed a little, diverted the topic, and said,
"Then can you tell me, what are you looking for the Qin Lou killer to do?"
The maid stroked the broken hair in her ear, pursed her lips and said,
"That person was rescued by me, an ordinary killer in Qin Lou, and when I came into contact with him, I felt that they were quite familiar with the situation of the Ma family."
"Familiar to the point that even if I mention our girl, the other party knows her maiden name, and knows some of her old temperaments."
Xu Han's heart moved slightly, a Jianghu killer building, so he understands the affairs of the Ma family, what is he doing staring at the Ma family, and what is Ma Mingyan doing like this?
Forget if you know your name, you know your temperament, why is Qin Lou so interested in her?
Then, thinking of Yunfeng again, Xu Han felt that he had caught something.
"Our girl seemed to know that her life was short, so she wrapped one in brown paper and sewed it into a cotton coat, only saying that if she died, let me go to the people of Qin Lou and give this to the landlord."
"Your lady has seen the owner of the Qin Tower?" Xu Han was puzzled.
"I heard that their landlord rarely shows up, but I talked to the killer who saved me, and I told the girl what they knew about the girl."
"The girl was silent for a long time, and she locked herself in her room and wept bitterly."
"Later, Xiao Shizi smoked people, and when our girl was dying, she gave me something."
"Looking for a killer, not to kill people, really."
The maid looked at Xu Han sincerely.
Xu Han nodded, she believed what this maid said, who could be so familiar with Ma Mingyan?
At the beginning, Uncle Seven was also looking forward to this marriage, so naturally he would know more about Ma Mingyan, so now, is she sure that Yun Feng is Uncle Seven?
Even, he may be the owner of Qin Tower.
After her death that year, Qin Lou became famous in Beijing.
"Where's that thing now?" Xu Han asked.
The maid glanced at Xiao Wei, meaning to let him out.
Xiao Wei's face stinks, he didn't expect a little maid to be so confused, will he not only want to rob men in the future, but also prevent women from intervening?
He stood up, looked at the maid fixedly, and pointed at Xu Han,
"This little prince is not a man, why is she here?"
The maid's face was slightly red, and she turned her head away from speaking.
Xu Han coughed, quietly pulled the hem of Xiao Wei's clothes, his eyes were about to cramp, and asked him to go out quickly.
If this maid changes her mind, it will be in vain.
Xiao Wei flicked his sleeves angrily and was about to go out, but outside, there was a sudden beep sound, Xiao Wei suddenly frowned, and said,
"Someone's coming."
Xu Han was slightly shocked and asked, "Who is it?" ”
Xiao Wei stared, and finally frowned,
"It's someone from the Marquis of Yongyi's mansion, catching some escaped maids."
He looked at the maid and said,
"You weren't kicked out? Why did they come to catch you, or what escaped. ”
The maid's face was as white as snow,
"I was really kicked out, I will never be a fugitive slave, and besides, my slavery status has been eliminated, and the people of the Yongyi Marquis Mansion have no right to arrest me."
Xu Han believed that she couldn't speak, thought about it for a while, walked to the girl's side, and said,
"Xinghou Mansion knows what you have, so come here to find out the news, anyway, you have to leave here first, Ah Wei, let's get out of here first."
Xiao Wei nodded and went out first.
Then as soon as he walked to the staircase, he heard someone beckoning from below, "Isn't this the prince of the Yongyi Marquis Mansion?" Please ...... here."
Xu Han happened to take the maid's hand and stood at the top of the stairs, and saw Yongyi Hou Shizi standing downstairs with an arrogant face, snorting at the little guy next to him, asking them to search.
The maid's face became more and more pale, and the hand held by Xu Han trembled obviously.
looked at the gaze of the Hou Shizi of Yongyi below, with bitter hatred.
Looking at this, the Hou Mansion should know that this maid has something in her hand, and also know the news that the maid is here from other places.
Since the person is downstairs, he can't even walk.
Immediately, she thought that since the slavery of this maid had been eliminated, there was no need to be afraid of Yongyi Hou Shizi arresting people, fugitive slaves and good people were different.
was hesitating whether to stand here, just waiting for the prince of Yongyi Hou to come up face to face, when he heard Xiao Wei say,
"Here, follow me."
Then, he took Xu Han, Xu Han took the maid's hand, went to the window, and jumped down from the window with them.
Really, who said you have to go down the stairs.
Just when they jumped down, the people from the Yongyi Marquis Mansion went upstairs and searched all the time.
There was no one upstairs, it was clean, and I didn't even see a teacup.
Yongyi Hou Shizi pulled the person who looked like a small guy after the back,
"Didn't you say that Ma Mingyan's maid is here? What about people? ”
The person who looked like a little guy was also crying, "Shizi, the little one obviously saw her being brought here." ”
Yongyi Hou Shizi kicked the little guy with his legs that he had experienced countless flower streets and willow alleys, countless flower girls' bodies, and weak legs.
The little guy wailed pretendedly.
In the alley outside the teahouse, in the carriage, Xu Han said,
"What's the matter with your people, why didn't you find out that you were being followed?"
Xiao Wei choked, it seems that Bai Zhuo's subordinates still have to practice drills.
Bai Zhuo, who was sitting on the wheel, shuddered, not knowing that his next days would be in dire straits.
The maid was frightened, half loud, ignoring Xiao Wei on the carriage, trembling hands, untied the padded jacket on her body, bit a thread with her teeth, and took out a long brown paper bag from it and handed it to Xu Han.
After Xu Han took it, he opened the kraft paper bag, and there was suddenly an account book inside......
opened it again, and the contents of it made Xu Han's blood boil suddenly, and she handed it to Xiao Wei to see, it was all the silver that Ma Jinshan embezzled, and most of them went.
The officials who were raided were not wronged, no, they were wronged, because it was not they who got the most money.
is the third prince who has always been low-key and has a better reputation than the crown prince.
……
Recently, on the emperor's case, there are a few more excerpts about Xiao Wei, which is nothing more than participating in his breaking into the Hou Mansion to commit murder and forcing him to die.
There are even more people who lost in the Xinglin Gambling House in Qingshui Town, and they gathered in front of the Zhenbei Wangfu and refused to leave.
The people who surrounded the gate of the palace were all young and strong men, numbering as many as one or two hundred, and if one was not good, it was possible to cause chaos.
On this day, Xu Han happened to be the day to go back to the palace to live, and he saw Xu Mian standing at the intersection from a distance, and when he saw her, he hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed her reins, saying,
"Lord Wang, those people in front of you are surrounding the palace, saying that they are asking you to return the money they lost in the Xinglin Gambling House to them."
Xu Han sat on the horse, and sneered when he heard the words,
"If they are willing to gamble and lose, they want to go to the gambling house to gamble, can they still regret it?"
Originally, she didn't have a good impression of those who loved gambling and went to Flower Street and Willow Lane, and these people dared to come to the door.
Xu Han got off his horse and walked towards the gate of the palace.
Those who knelt at the gate of the palace were of different shapes and costumes, some of them wearing patches on their clothes, and some of them wearing silk and satin.
As soon as those people saw Xu Han's court clothes, they immediately surrounded him, if it weren't for the guards of the palace at the door, they would probably be flooded by these people.
Xu Han looked at the men below who had black circles under his eyes, but his eyes were red, and they all said that the gamblers were red-eyed and didn't recognize their relatives, which seemed to be true.
It's just ordinary people, this is the palace, and they dare to come to the door like this.
Then he saw the first man in patched clothes raise his hand and shouted,
"Ask the little prince to give the untouchables a way to live, and return the silver copied from the gambling house by the court to us......"
