Chapter 13: The Throbbing

"Prime Minister...... Prime Minister, Zheng Mansion ......" When it was dark, the beggar who was arranged by Qiu Luoxue to guard the Zheng Mansion ran back and reported.

"What's wrong with the Zheng Mansion?" Qiu Luoxue looked at his anxious appearance and asked.

"Just now, more than a dozen large boxes were transported into the Zheng Mansion from outside, and they were very tightly guarded, and the villain secretly followed and found this in the box." The beggar Ah Liang stretched out his hand as he spoke, and he grabbed a handful of copper coins in his hand.

Qiu Luoxue was anxious to judge whether those copper coins were counterfeit or not, so she had to take the copper coins from Ah Liang's hand.

Seeing this, Ah Liang felt that his hands were dirty, and he didn't dare to let Qiu Luoxue touch them, so he put the copper coin on the table on the side, and said: "The villain's hands are dirty, I'm afraid of soiling the hands of the prime minister, the villain puts the copper coin on the table, and the adults will look at it again."

Seeing that he was so cautious, Qiu Luoxue smiled and said, "It's good to wash your hands when they're dirty, what's the matter, as long as your heart is clean and you don't do bad things."

Saying that, Qiu Luoxue took the copper coin from Ah Liang's hand, which corresponded to the previous counterfeit coin, and it was really what she was looking for.

Qiu Luoxue's statement made a warm current rise in Ah Liang's conscience. As a beggar, he has never been taken seriously, but the high-ranking prime minister in front of him who came all the way from the capital does not dislike him.

"What's your name?" Qiu Luoxue asked.

"The villain's name is Ah Liang." Ah Liang replied.

"Ah Liang......" Qiu Luoxue shouted cordially, and asked: "Are all the copper coins in the big boxes that were transported into the Zheng Mansion?"

"Because of the short time, the villain only opened one box, but that box contained all such copper coins." Ah Liang replied respectfully.

"Great, that's exactly what I'm looking for." Qiu Luoxue said happily, patted Ah Liang's shoulder again and said, "Ah Liang, you have made a meritorious service, and it is still a great merit."

"Really?" Ah Liang asked in disbelief.

"Well, it's true." Qiu Luoxue replied.

The beggar named Ah Liang in front of him is not very tall, and his clothes are patched, barely able to keep out the cold in the cold winter. His hair was unkempt and his face was dirty. It seems that the original complexion is covered by dirt, but what can't be hidden is his eyes, which are radiating joy at the moment.

After Qiu Luoxue and Ah Liang separated, they went to find Nie Yuan, and the two happened to meet in the courtyard.

"It's Zheng's house." As soon as the two met, they were in a hurry to share the news, but they didn't expect to say the same thing at the same time.

"How do you know?" Qiu Luoxue asked Nie Yuandao in surprise.

"Interrogating the person who came back from the casino just now, he said that it was the housekeeper of the Zheng Mansion who gave him the money and asked him to go to the casino to gamble money." Nie Yuan replied, and asked again, "What about you?" How do you know? ”

"For I am not a prophet." Qiu Luoxue said playfully, and walked over to hold Nie Yuan's arm.

"Don't lie to me, I'll believe it." Nie Yuan said.

"I lied to you." Qiu Luoxue suddenly became serious as she spoke, and said, "The person we arranged for outsiders to guard the Zheng Mansion has sent the news back, and the counterfeit money has been transported into the Zheng Mansion."

"So, let's go to the Zheng Mansion now." Qiu Luoxue said.

"Just the two of us?" Nie Yuan asked.

"The two of us are enough." Qiu Luoxue said confidently, and had already pulled Nie Yuan forward.

Nie Yuan followed Qiu Luoxue forward and said, "I'm enough for myself, and it's not necessarily necessary to add you."

"Why? Plus am I stronger? Qiu Luoxue asked.

"No, it's going to hold me back." Nie Yuan said mercilessly at all.

“……”

In the end, what Nie Yuan said was not wrong at all, Qiu Luoxue was the one who dragged his feet. Nie Yuan arrived in front of the wall outside the Zheng Mansion and jumped down with his hands and feet.

But Qiu Luoxue was not, and finally climbed to the wall, but because the wall was too high, she didn't dare to jump down.

"It's coming down." Nie Yuan stood below and looked at Qiu Luoxue and said.

Qiu Luoxue stood at the height of the wall, looked at the height below, and said with some fear: "I will fall to my death if I jump from here."

"No, I'll catch you down there." Nie Yuan said.

Although Nie Yuan's words are there, because the wall is too high, Qiu Luoxue still doesn't dare to jump, but there is no way to jump down, and there is no way to retreat if she doesn't jump.

Nie Yuan saw that Qiu Luoxue didn't dare to come down, and urged: "Come down quickly, it won't be easy for someone to come in a while."

"Then you're done." Qiu Luoxue still didn't feel at ease and arranged.

Nie Yuan didn't speak, but opened his arms, ready to catch Qiu Luoxue. On the ginkgo tree next to the wall, there were lanterns, and the light shone on Nie Yuan's outstretched arm.

Qiu Luoxue saw Nie Yuan's actions, took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and jumped off the wall with a horizontal heart.

After Qiu Luoxue jumped down, Nie Yuan caught her accurately, holding Qiu Luoxue's light body, and his heart throbbed. Maybe it's because she knows that Qiu Luoxue is a woman, and the throbbing is even more obvious.

looked at Qiu Luoxue's slightly closed eyes, frozen red cheeks, and pink lips. Nie Yuan felt an urge to kiss him in his heart. But he still didn't do it, because the woman in his arms was not the woman who belonged to him.

"It's safe." Nie Yuan looked at Qiu Luoxue and said.

Hearing Nie Yuan's voice, Qiu Luoxue opened her eyes, her flexible eyes moving back and forth, full of aura.

After passing through the long corridor, Xia Zimo arrived at Qiu Luoxue's mansion again. He hadn't been here for a long time, and because Qiu Luoxue wasn't in the Prime Minister's Mansion, he hadn't been there either. But tonight, because he missed Qiu Luoxue, Xia Zimo walked through the long corridor again, arrived at the Xiangfu, and arrived at Qiu Luoxue's room.

All the facilities in the room were still the same as before, and at this time, Xia Zimo was no longer weird when he saw the azure soft smoke and mica screen. When he first came to Qiu Luoxue's room, he was still thinking about why a man's room should be so feminine.

Thinking of these, Xia Zimo chuckled and said, "It turns out that from the beginning, all kinds of things have hinted that she is a woman, but I didn't find out."

Suddenly, he remembered the time he called Qiu Luoxue to the hot spring palace, and Qiu Luoxue refused to take off her clothes to soak in the hot spring.

"Haha, hahaha, she should have been very embarrassed that time." Xia Zimo muttered to himself.

Now that I think back to what happened before, it's really embarrassing and funny, and I don't know how I fell in love with Qiu Luoxue a little bit in the first place. Maybe the love at the beginning was only a little bit, but after a long time, it slowly became more, so much that it was difficult to take back your heart.

"You're Ah Liang, right?" Sanqian walked into the hall and asked after seeing Ah Liang.

"Ah, yes." Ah Liang replied.

"My son-in-law asked me to take you to the bath, and by the way, change into clean clothes, please come with me." Sanqian said politely.

Although Ah Liang was a little uncomfortable, after all, it was arranged by Qiu Luoxue, so he still followed Sanqian.

Walking all the way to the outside of a room, Sanqian said: "Please come in, everything is ready, there will be maids guarding outside the door, and they will take you to the dining room to eat after you finish washing."

These were all arranged by Qiu Luoxue before leaving, because Ah Liang was also a great help this time. His discovery can be said to have benefited the people of Great Qin, and this point can still be enjoyed.

Zhang Yunwen took the patrol to the back mountain to search, and did not return until the evening. When I went back, I saw that Qiu Luoxue was not there, so I asked the weak waterway:

"Weak water girl, hasn't the prime minister come back yet?"

"Childe has gone to Zheng's Mansion." Weak Water replied.

Zhang Yunwen knew that Qiu Luoxue would not go to the Zheng Mansion rashly, and she must have found something, so she didn't stop, and immediately set off to the Zheng Mansion with the patrol.

"Zhang Gongzi, why are you leaving again? Childe has already asked people to prepare the meal, and when you come back, the meal will be served. Weak water said.

Zhang Yunwen didn't reply when he heard the words of the weak water, and replied, "Keep it for now, and wait for me to call your son-in-law back to eat together."

After Qiu Luoxue and Nie Yuan infiltrated the Zheng Mansion, they began to look for counterfeit coins, and after turning around for a long time, they found a place where the door was guarded and looked heavily guarded.

"I think this place is very likely to be a place for counterfeit money, let's go in and have a look." Qiu Luoxue whispered to Nie Yuan.

"Okay, you wait for me here." After Nie Yuan finished speaking, he went out, and the guards guarding the door were dealt with by dividing them by two.

Qiu Luoxue almost shouted "beautiful" when she saw it, but considering the current situation, she still didn't say anything, and ran to Nie Yuan's side.

Then, Nie Yuan picked the lock at the door and entered it with Qiu Luoxue, in order not to attract the attention of passers-by, they did not light the lamp, but just held a fire fold and illuminated it with that faint light. Fortunately, the moonlight is bright tonight, and you can see the situation inside.

After entering, they found that there were more than a dozen large boxes in this small room, and the appearance was the same as Ah Liang's description. Qiu Luoxue motioned for Nie Yuan to open the box, and there were indeed many counterfeit coins inside.

After that, they opened the other boxes one by one, and they all contained counterfeit coins, including copper wire and silver taels.

"It's unimaginable that so many counterfeit coins could be put on the market." Qiu Luoxue sighed.

Nie Yuan just wanted to say something, but before he could do so, the outside suddenly lit up, and an ominous premonition immediately rose in his heart.

"I was ......," Nie Yuan said.

"What's going on?" Qiu Luoxue asked, as soon as her words fell, the door was opened from the outside, and the Zheng Mansion quickly surrounded the door. It seems that they have been discovered.

"The Prime Minister came to my Zheng Mansion, and I hope to forgive me for my disappointment." As the baritarian voice sounded, a middle-aged man in a fancy costume slowly walked from the back of the family, this person was the lord of the Zheng Mansion, and he had a relationship with Qiu Luoxue before.

He came from behind, and the family members lined up in two rows, leaving a path for him to walk in the middle. When Qiu Luoxue saw this formation, she not only sighed: The richest man who went to a small city turned out to be bigger than the shelf of his own appearance.
