Without a Trace Volume 5 Party Struggle Chapter 23 Extinguishing the Mouth

、、、、、、、

Tai Yutong had been under house arrest for several months, and although the family was still a habitual subordinate, from their evasive gazes, the governor who had once called for wind and rain in Sichuan still felt a sense that the end was near. Hao Yuansheng, the governor of Sichuan, is a good gentleman like Maitreya Buddha, and he does not interfere in civil affairs in his spare time, but only restricts the military camp and sometimes cooperates with the movements of the northwest military camp. It is precisely because of this that with Xiao Yunchao as a backup, he is the real emperor of Sichuan.

If it weren't for the disappearance of the account book, he wouldn't have been so frightened, he only hated that the master who had always relied on his arm to help him fled with his things at a critical moment. He really couldn't figure it out, money is the first wonderful thing in the world, and there are people who are indifferent? Under his full pursuit, the person was found, but the thing was nowhere to be found. To this day, he is not sure if the books have been circulated.

Tai Yutong knows that he is still too greedy, the Xiao family has always relied on him, and he has a good relationship, so if someone else has such a big tree, how can he vote for him?

However, he will never forget the ubiquitous persuasion of the third prince Feng Wuyan, what the Xiao family is powerful, he is just the icing on the cake, it doesn't matter whether it is there or not: what younger brother wins and is weak, it is not enough to entrust state affairs; What kind of virtuous kings and good ministers manage state affairs together...... It was after such a heart-to-heart conversation and countless promises that he wavered and secretly threw himself under the command of His Royal Highness, known as the "Virtuous King", and no one knew, except for Feng Wuyan himself.

Tai was dazed in the sun, unaware of the sweat dripping from his body. At this moment, he wished to turn back the clock to a few years ago. If Xiao Yunchao didn't know the inside story of his stepping on two boats, maybe he would pull him, but if he was discovered...... He could scarcely imagine the furious expression of the Uncle Guo.

Under intense sunlight. He was already feeling dizzy, but he still had no intention of going back.

A few long-awaited close-fitting elders stepped forward and wanted to help the old man back to the room, but he waved him out. "Fuck off! I don't need you to do anything, I have my own measure! Although he has stepped down from his official position, he has been an official for many years. Yu Wei was still there, and a few long-term entourages could only salute and retreat in disagreement.

If you can escape death, exile on the frontier or imprisoned in prison, when will you see the sunshine of this land of abundance? Tai Yongtong squinted at the blue sky without a trace of clouds, and an irresistible feeling of dizziness immediately rushed over, after all, he was old. Tai Yitong, who has been pampered for many years, has never stood under the scorching sun for so long, he is really a little unbearable, and his body is also shaky.

A few subordinates who were waiting next to him hurriedly rushed up and supported the master's body. The four of them worked together to carry Tai Yitong to the spring bench in the flower hall. A clever little servant hurriedly took out the perfume from Xiyi's tribute from the room and carefully applied it to the old man's temple. Tai Yitong finally woke up, but his expression was still dazed. In a barely audible voice, he commanded, "Stand down, and I will be quiet." ”

Several subordinates looked at each other for a while, and finally tiptoed out of the flower hall one by one according to the master's wishes. Only Tai Yi was left lying alone on the spring bench in a daze. It has long been rumored in the house that the lord will not be able to escape this disaster, if it were not for the strong pressure of Mrs. Tai Liu, I am afraid that the gossip will be even more violent. Even so, there are still many people with different minds. After all, if this raids the Thai Mansion, all of them who are slaves will have to be made into the booklet, and I don't know which master will be sent to them. How could these subordinates who were used to living a good life in the mansion in the past not panic, if it weren't for the officers and soldiers watching outside the door, even if the Taifu gave them a ransom certificate, they wouldn't be able to escape, I'm afraid someone would have slipped away long ago.

Even so, someone in the house still had to go out to buy, but the people who went out were always accompanied by a few soldiers on their backs. Originally, the governor Hao Yuansheng weighed again and again and sent a few people to send some seasonal vegetables and meat to the mansion, but Tai Yi was very bad with the same taste, and the things cooked by the cook were slightly out of taste, so he threatened him with a hunger strike. Hao Yuansheng had no choice but to let the chef of Taifu personally come out to buy vegetables for Thai food, but the soldiers who escorted him were not ambiguous at all, and they were all agile veterans.

The cook Qian Ghost carried a basket of vegetables, walked absentmindedly in the bazaar, and picked all kinds of vegetables and meat without pretending, and his mind had long been focused on the bizarre encounter a few days earlier. That time, the escort soldier accidentally made a mistake and caused a passer-by to knock over the entire vegetable basket, and after hurriedly cleaning up, it was too late to return home. When preparing lunch, he found a jade pendant from the vegetable basket, and without looking closely, he could tell that it was something he had given to his wife, and he broke out in a cold sweat at the moment.

The reason why he is called a money ghost is because he is a man who loves money like his life, and Tai Yitong spent a lot of money to invite him to the mansion from Lunyuan Building as a cook. That's why he didn't have any people in the house

's concerns, Hengzhu has not signed a letter of selling his body, and when Tai Yi falls, he will find another job at most. Although he loves money, he is still quite considerate of his beautiful wife at home, and he buys some fresh ornaments from time to time, and this jade pendant is also one of them, and the peculiar texture and color are boasted by the seller as unique in the world, so he recognized it at a glance.

Someone was threatening him with his wife's safety, and the money ghost was not stupid, so he immediately thought of this. However, this kind of bottomless thing is uncertain, who would believe his nonsense, not to mention that he doesn't even have any definite news. The next day, he found another earring in the cabbage, on which was engraved the goldsmith's name. The money ghost finally panicked, he didn't know what the other party was going to do. Therefore, he used the excuse to send away all the men who worked in the small room, and let them go to the big room to handle the meals of the other people in the house, and he himself was alone in the house. Before each cooking, almost all the ingredients are turned upside down, and I am afraid that something will go wrong.

After receiving a lot of jewelry from his wife for a few days, he finally fell into a complete nightmare. Until yesterday, he found a wax pill in a piece of pork, and there was only a thin note in it, saying that it was for him to try to do something big. If he agrees, he will be rewarded with a thousand gold, but if he does not agree, he will be poisoned against his wife, and then he will be eliminated as well. The code agreed by the other party is that as long as the money ghost agrees, the headscarf that binds his hair will be changed to blue today. The money ghost thought about it again and again, and finally forced by the threat of his life and the temptation of money, he could only grit his teeth and wear a blue turban and go out.

Walking in the bustling crowd, the soldiers could only pay attention to whether someone was talking to the money ghost, and nothing else. Hao Yuansheng is a cautious person, although he knows that the money ghost is just a cook, he still tells his subordinates to pay extra attention, after all, this case has already alarmed the holy driver, and it will be more than worth the loss to be implicated with himself at that time. However, those soldiers followed for so many days and didn't see anything abnormal, and their hearts were already relaxed, they didn't expect that someone had already started the idea of Tai Yitong through the money ghost.

The money ghost, who was looking around, woke up to the fact that his elbow was pinched, and when he turned his head, he saw an inconspicuous man passing by him, and there seemed to be something more in the vegetable basket, and it suddenly became heavy. He was nervous and didn't dare to look at what was inside, but he sped up his steps, almost ran to a vegetable stall, grabbed a handful of green and red peppers at random, and asked repeatedly: "I want this, how much is it?" ”

A few soldiers saw that Qian Gui's pace was speeding up, and they thought that he wanted to slip away, but after listening to his words, their mood suddenly relaxed again, and they leaned on another vegetable stall and chatted with each other, and let out a burst of laughter from time to time. Seeing that others did not have a trace of suspicion, the money ghost suddenly let go of his original heart, and followed the crowd to buy what he needed, but his eyes kept scanning around at the beginning of the person. However, to his disappointment, until he re-entered the Thai province, he still found no suspicious traces.

Although the inspection on the door is meticulous, it is impossible to cut and break the meat and vegetables, so of course nothing is found. The soldiers guarding were also accustomed to this kind of routine search, which was nothing more than a pretend, and when they saw that there were no forbidden things, they waved and let them go, which made the money ghost with a ghost in his heart a false alarm. It wasn't until he entered the kitchen that he really breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly checked the food basket. Sure enough, he found something he didn't buy, a huge piece of ham.

He carefully flipped things over, looking left and right but still couldn't see any details, and immediately saved the name or was still inside. Sure enough, after carefully trying it with a knife, he cautiously cut open the ham and found two wax pills, one black and one white. After doing it once, he crushed the white wax pill and found a note again. The first sentence clearly states that he should melt the contents of the black wax pill with water and add it to the food of the Tai Yu.

The money ghost was completely frightened, and he never dreamed that it would be such a head-losing errand that fell into his hands. Even if Tai Yutong has been dismissed, after all, he is a former official, and he murdered him by himself, as long as he is discovered, he will inevitably die. Although the temptation of his wife's life and money was great, the risk was too great for him, who had always been relatively peaceful.

He flipped through the brief piece of paper a few more times, and finally saw that there were other annotations underneath, clearly stating that the contents of the black wax pill would only weaken Tai Yutong's body, and that there would be absolutely no signs of it, and that he would never find any cause of death, as long as he had finished the meal, he would just be quiet. If he dared to leak out, he would kill his wife and break him into pieces. Seeing this, the money ghost finally made up his mind, and it was better to do it in the hands of others, otherwise it would be a dead word, and there would be a lot of honorarium.
