Chapter Eighty-Six: Tacitly

The next day, when Li Hongyu was washing under Rou'er's service, Wang Tieniu entered the door and reported to him about the rescue of Qin Yue yesterday.

Wang Tieniu sent someone to secretly follow Qin Yue, Qin Yue and Rou'er went to a relative's house in a town outside Xiangyang City in a carriage last night, and it is estimated that they will return today.

As for the manor in Guanghua County, although the residents of the town were in full swing to put out the fire when Wang Tieniu left, but now that the weather is hot and there is a slight southeast wind, the manor will definitely be burned down under the wind.

Even if the manor had not burned down, it is estimated that most of the place would have become ruins and could only be rebuilt, which can be regarded as a warning and lesson to Yang Renxiao.

After learning that Qin Yue and Rou'er had escaped smoothly, Li Hongyu couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief, now he had no worries.

Since it was the last day of Xiangyang City, Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin and other new students from Jiangkou County went to bid farewell to the prefect Liu Wenxu, and they would go directly to Wuchang City from Jiangkou County.

Liu Wenxu set up a banquet at noon to see off Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin and others, wishing them the nomination of the township test laurel list, and had high expectations for Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin at the banquet.

In Liu Wenxu's opinion, if there are people in Xiangyang Mansion who can be lifted this time, then there are Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin nine times out of ten, the two of them passed all the way during the children's test, and their strength far exceeds that of others, even Yang Renxiao, who is known as a genius in Xiangyang Mansion, is slightly inferior to the two.

When Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin came back from the mansion, Rou'er was distributing pastries to the people in the family, and it turned out that Qin Yue was one step ahead of them and brought a lot of delicious pastries.

According to Qin Yue, she has been disguising herself as a man outside for the past few days to explore where there are suitable industries for the Li family to buy, and she will only wait for Li Hongyu to be nominated on the laurel list.

Li Hongyu naturally wouldn't expose Qin Yue's lies, he took so much effort to let Wang Tieniu and others pretend to be strongmen who broke into the house and robbed just to hide what happened to Qin Yue, anyway, Qin Yue was only imprisoned for a few days, there was no need to make this matter a storm.

Qin Yue couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she saw that the Li family, especially Rou'er, was convinced of her words, among all the people of the Li family, she was most afraid of Li Hongyu's smart and delicate personal girl.

Since she came into contact with Li Hongyu, Qin Yue could see that Li Hongyu valued Rou'er very much, and even affectionately called her "Sister Rou'er", which made her feel a trace of jealousy in her heart.

Qin Yue knows very well that Rou'er can be said to have grown up with Li Hongyu and has a special meaning to Li Hongyu, but Rou'er is just a personal girl, and she can't shake her status in the back house of the Li Mansion in the future, so she doesn't need to be jealous with Rou'er, but wants to take it for her own use.

Therefore, when she came back this time, Qin Yue brought a lot of gold and silver jewelry to Rou'er, and she vigorously wooed her, she didn't expect Rou'er to say good things to her in front of Li Hongyu, as long as she didn't drag her back.

"Miss, good news, our people have found the whereabouts of the Bai family, the head of Niu County." In the afternoon, when Qin Yue was enjoying the shade in the pavilion in the courtyard, Xiaolan came to tell her the good news.

Niu Feng's concubine has already been found out by Du Yi'an, although Niu Feng has a hard mouth, his entourage is not hard-hearted, and he doesn't want to die with him, so he shook out the matter of the Bai family.

However, because Niu Feng was so frightened by the scar-faced man sent by Xiao Baiyan before, the Bai family flew away, so now Du Yi'an has not found out the whereabouts of the Bai family.

After all, when Niu Feng was killed, it had been quite a while since the Bai family left, and God knows if he was still in Xiangyang Mansion, where to find someone in the vast sea of people.

Du Yi'an wanted to open the gap from Niu Feng's body, but Niu Feng knew that he was finished now, so he was determined to keep the Bai family's mother and son safe, and he couldn't open his mouth no matter what kind of punishment he received.

This made Du Yi'an feel a little headache, as the saying goes, catch a thief and take the stolen goods, since he has investigated the case of Niu Feng's embezzlement of ink, he must find the stolen goods, otherwise the case will be handed down to the criminal department for retrial.

But Du Yi'an didn't find any stolen goods from Niu Feng's house, and even the house where the Bai family lived was rented, you must know that Niu Feng was a rogue official in the imperial court, and he would not stay in Xiangyang City all the time, so there was no need to buy a property here, and the Bai family mother and son would definitely follow him at that time.

Du Yi'an believed that the Bai family must know where the money that Niu Feng was greedy was, so only by finding the Bai family could Niu Feng's case be successfully concluded.

"Found the Bai Clan?"

After learning that she had found the whereabouts of the Bai family, Qin Yue's heart was immediately overjoyed, and this good news immediately dispelled the haze that shrouded her heart because of Yang Renxiao, so that she could close Niu Feng's case before leaving Xiangyang City.

"Hmm!" Xiaolan nodded excitedly, "It turns out that the Bai family has been hiding in the nurse's house in the town outside the city. ”

"Poke this news to Lord Patrol!"

Qin Yue groaned for a moment when she heard this, and then told Xiaolan in a coquettish voice that as long as the Bai family was found, Niu Feng's case would be closed, so that Niu Feng's case would become an iron case.

She didn't believe that the Bai family could bear the punishment in the prison like Niu Feng, and she would definitely confess obediently and tell everything she knew.

"Good!" Xiaolan smiled and nodded, then remembered something and couldn't help lowering her voice and asking, "Miss, the fire in Guanghua County has spread to Fucheng, will the four guards of the Yang family confess Miss's affairs?" ”

"The four guards of the Yang family know the seriousness of this matter, once the matter of the two of us leaks out, the reputation of the Yang family will inevitably be affected."

Qin Yue groaned for a moment when she heard this, shook her head at Xiaolan and said, "If Miss Ben didn't guess wrong, they would definitely be tight-lipped about the two of us, and only admit that they had been robbed by a strongman!" ”

"That's fine!" Xiao Lan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she heard this, if those four guards leaked Qin Yue's affairs, then Qin Yue would be in big trouble.

Qin Yue's willow eyebrows frowned slightly, and she had a special emotion in her heart for Yang Renxiao, not only feeling annoyed that Yang Renxiao had imprisoned her, but at the same time feeling a trace of inexplicable joy.

You must know that a proud son of a family like Yang Renxiao would not casually do anything impulsive to a woman, which undoubtedly shows her charm.

It's just that Qin Yue doesn't want such a thing to happen for the second time, otherwise she won't be as lucky as this time, so she has to be more vigilant against Yang Renxiao in the future to avoid being calculated by Yang Renxiao again.

At the same time, the back house of the Yang Mansion.

"What are you doing? It was a waste to let those strongmen tie it up in a daze! Yang Renxiao slapped the burly guard standing in front of him hard, and scolded with a grim face.

Yang Renxiao would never have thought that his elaborate plan would be ruined by a group of robbers who came out of nowhere, and that manor was burned down and it was a small matter, in case Qin Yue was hurt, it would be too late to regret it.

Fortunately, those robbers were not womanizers and let Qin Yue and Xiaolan go, which made him breathe a sigh of relief, and at the same time annoyed that the burly guards and the others were tied up without resisting.

"Young master, we didn't know that those guys would target that mansion and be caught off guard by them, otherwise we would have to kill a few of them!" The burly guard covered his swollen face and said angrily.

"And killed a few of them, thank God you didn't get killed." Yang Renxiao sneered when he heard this, and glared at the burly guard.

He knew that it was okay for the burly guards to scare the people in the city, and he must have been scared to the stomach when he met those outlaws who killed people and oversold goods, but the burly guards couldn't be blamed for this matter, God knew that the house would attract the robbers, so that he fell short.

"Did you say something you shouldn't have said?" Yang Renxiao knew that now was not the time to deal with the burly guard, after all, it had already happened, so he asked expressionlessly after a deep groan.

"Young master, we didn't reveal a word about the second miss, and those people didn't know that there was a second miss in the courtyard besides us." The burly guard knew what Yang Renxiao meant, and when he heard this, he hurriedly bowed down and answered.

"Go down and get your reward at the bookkeeper." Yang Renxiao bowed slightly, and waved his hand at the burly guard, he was well versed in the way of controlling people, and naturally knew that only the combination of grace and power could make his subordinates follow him willingly.

"Young Master Xie." The burly guard breathed a sigh of relief, bowed in thanks, and left.

"Young master, I think there is something strange about this matter, they stay in the garden all day and stay at home, how can people outside know that they are there?"

When the burly guard walked into the courtyard, Yang Zhong, who was standing on the side, had a flickering look in his eyes, looked at the back of the burly guard, and then came to Yang Renxiao's side and asked in a low voice.

"You mean that there are people there who eat inside and out?" Yang Renxiao frowned slightly when he heard this, and the expression on his face became serious, he also thought of this question just now, after all, those robbers would not run to that manor for no reason.

"Young master, the little ones are just mentioned in passing, and I always feel that those strongmen appear a little suddenly." Yang Zhong bowed down when he heard this, and replied in a deep voice.

"Forget it, those subordinates will definitely quit after this incident, if any of them have an affair with a strongman, let's not provoke it, so as not to ask for trouble."

Yang Renxiao shook his head after pondering for a while, frowned and said, he didn't think that those strongmen who robbed houses were his opponents, and he didn't bother to pay attention to those guys who couldn't get on the stage, and people from their own government went to chase them.

"Young Master, that's all there is to it for?" Yang Zhong's eyes flashed with a look of joy when he heard this, and he forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked.

"Some little thieves who can't get on the table." Yang Renxiao snorted disdainfully, he is now busy with the affairs of the township test, where does he have the heart to pay attention to those gangsters who rob their homes and houses.

"Young Master, Second Miss, she won't be bad for the Young Master, right?" Seeing that Yang Renxiao was not ready to investigate the appearance of those robbers in the manor, Yang Zhong's hanging heart finally fell, and then asked pretending to be worried.

"No, it won't." Yang Renxiao was not worried about this matter, and after hearing this, he shook his head and said, "Once this matter spreads, she won't want to marry in her life." ”

"You go and inquire and see what the latest news is in Guanghua County, maybe the yamen can find clues about those strongmen." As he spoke, Yang Renxiao commanded Yang Zhongdao in a deep voice.

"Don't worry, young master, the little one will go and find out the news." Yang Zhong bowed and left quickly, his steps seemed extremely relaxed, I am afraid that Yang Renxiao would never have thought that the matter of Guanghua County Manor would have something to do with him anyway.

If Yang Renxiao paid close attention, he would find that Yang Zhong's wrist had bruises left after being bound, but Yang Zhong concealed it very well, and he didn't notice this detail.

Although Yang Zhong breathed a sigh of relief, it also meant that he had the handle to fall into Li Hongyu's hands, and he would have to be restrained by Li Hongyu in the future.
