Chapter Twenty-Three: The Man Is Lost

In the next few days, Hu Zhou had a leisurely life. The pen %fun %pavilion www.biquge.info every time it is like a point in the glow of Taobao, it disappears. It's just that there are more unique and valuable items in the shop from time to time, and I know that even if he is not there, he is still doing things related to the shop.

In addition to Qiu Jing, who must be visited every day, what impressed Liu Gan the most, and even shocked him, was Yang Duoer's master and servant. Mu Qian felt familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it. The relationship is still short, and the door of Xiaguang Taobao is not unprecedented.

These few Mu Qian have collected the most, and the highest bidder is an ancient book. This also made Qiu Jing see some signs. In short, everything is in order.

In addition to these.

Something happened suddenly, and Hu Zhou was caught off guard!

Chen Qing is gone.

Because of this, Hu Zhou learned that Xiaoling Buddha Temple was buried in a fire, and his desire to go and see it also faded.

Liu Qian looked at the copper lock thrown by Mu Qian, studied it carefully for a long time, and was sure that there were traces of being pryed. For Liu Gan, who specializes in art, his methods are not clever. There are no signs of break-ins anywhere else in the house. Obviously, the person who came was going to take Chen Qing away after all, and he didn't bother to do some other cover-up.

Except for the shackles that were cut off, everything else was as usual, except for Chen Qing.

"They know that Chen Qing is imprisoned underground?" This is Hu Zhou's biggest doubt. The visitor did not rummage, but almost went straight to the ground.

"Including us, as well as the people who left earlier, many people know that there are people underground." As if to avoid suspicion, Mu Qian did not remain silent but took the initiative to speak.

Liu Qian complained from the bottom of his heart that these men in black acted recklessly and did not pay attention to details.

"He didn't say it, but we will hear the voices of the earth and know that there is someone underneath. He obviously doesn't mind if we know that we want to take care of it, or, I mean, maybe Chen Qing doesn't matter? Mu Qian used the words of care and the tone of assumption, because of his caution after the assassination that night, and now the situation seems to be uneventful.

Hu Zhou's eyebrows did not stretch because of Mu Qian's words, "From beginning to end, we have not found anyone, then Chen Qing will inevitably starve to death, if so, I probably agree that this is a dispensable prisoner." But now the people are lost. ”

Yes, if people are lost, there is no justification for the unimportant arguments. No one bothered to bother with a worthless prisoner.

A moment in time.

Hu Zhou stood at the door of Xu's mansion, hesitated for a moment and knocked on the door, and said what to say in the first sentence.

******

Even inside the house, several people were still dressed in black, with black cloth masks. It is very doubtful that they are not with each other, and they don't know what each other looks like.

The man in black who spoke in a deep voice, "My lord, as for how to deal with the master and servant, the subordinates insist that they should be killed, so as not to cause trouble. ”

The man in black, whom he called an adult, turned around, only to see that he had a copper face on his face, and replied, "The antidote is left?"

The medicine was left, and Liu Qian had already obtained it in the underground where Chen Qing was imprisoned.

The man in black who had spoken earlier hesitated slightly, and finally nodded. Although he was skeptical of the adults' orders, he still acted according to them.

Then, I heard the copper-faced black clothes seem to laugh and said, "You said you insisted?" It was said with a smile, but it made people feel unprecedented coercion. The rest of the men in black couldn't help but bow their heads.

The man in black who was questioned did not bow his head, but met the eyes of the copper-faced and black-clothed man, as he said.

"Why, I think that the ground armor was removed by the master, so the rabbit died and the fox was sad? If I tell you that if the self-proclaimed ones from 1 to 11 really kill all the people in the academy, the final result will be a few sentences that are not an example, what do you think? ”

Ding Jiu, who felt misunderstood, didn't know how to explain it, so he just said coldly: "There is no sadness in the subordinates."

After speaking, he seemed to feel that the previous sentence was a little unsatisfactory, so he added: "The subordinates are dead soldiers."

The black-clothed leader with the copper face was slightly stunned when he heard this, nodded and then shook his head, and said in a more cold tone: "Then figure out your mission first."

――――

It is much easier to enter the Xu Mansion than to enter the Chengmu Mansion. The porter Lao Wang counted the guests who came to visit when he was idle and bored, and it became less and less every year, which was of course due to the fact that Xu Chengsu was not at home to entertain guests. In front of the door of the city herdsman, the old king who came to the door this year was still counted with one hand, and a young boy like today was the first time in so many years.

But when he passed the word, he thought that Hu Zhou was probably going to be disappointed, so the old man said that he would bring people in. If this was just a surprise to the old king, when he led Hu Zhou to the middle hall, he was shocked to see that Xu Cheng had already gotten up and stood at the door.

Then, regardless of the old Wangtou's stunned, Xu Cheng and Hu Zhou walked side by side to the study, and even Lord Xu was half a position ahead, of course, this was just to lead the way, that's all.

But this move is a different meaning in the eyes of others. For example, people can obviously be led directly to the study by the old king, but they are only brought to the central hall. So that Mrs. Xu, who had not shied away from it before, was also thoughtful.

Not to mention Yang Tiexin, who suddenly knew from others that Hu Zhou had entered the Xu Mansion.

"I heard that you opened a shop on Xiaguang Long Street?" As Xu Cheng, it is not difficult to know Hu Zhou's movements. It's just that as soon as he opened his mouth, he told Hu Zhou that he was paying attention to him. I didn't ask for nonsense about what I was doing, but when I came, there was naturally something.

In the study, Hu Zhou, who was still hesitating how to speak, raised his head when he heard the words, and said with a hint of confusion: "It's just been open for a few days."

Xu Cheng nodded, and said, "Why isn't the academy open?"

Although he had already prepared that whether it was Zhu Qian or Xu Cheng, he would find out his origins, but at this moment, hearing someone ask so bluntly in person, Hu Zhou was still a little uncomfortable. is more mainly thinking about how much the person in front of him knows, whether to explain the attack, or how much to explain, Hu Zhou is constantly weighing in his heart.

It's just that when he hesitated, Xu Cheng said again: "Although you are not a serious place to educate people, you will inevitably fall into the mouth of the people when you gather to give lectures and study deeply, so it is better to close it."

It's been so lightly brought again? Hu Zhou was confused for a while, not understanding what Xu Cheng was going to say.

But Xu Chengbian stopped talking, and there was silence in the study.

Looking at the official authority that could not fade even though he took off his court clothes for Cheng Mu, but the gentle look on his face at this moment, as well as his personal move to bring himself to the study, Hu Zhou somewhat understood that Xu Cheng had no malicious intent. is even more goodwill, more like grasping the initiative between the two without causing the other party's disgust.

Knowing this, Hu Zhou began to think about what truth to say next.

Hu Zhou no longer pretended to be ashamed, and Xu Cheng was very satisfied.

"In that house, Zhu Gongzi didn't instruct him to come down to find Lord Xu, but he tried to pull the banner of the Lord on his own." Just one sentence, it has the taste of earth-shattering.

Xu Cheng smiled undiminished and said, "Go on."
