The spring day was bright early, and Ying Xuan came over bathed in Chunhui, but now he felt that the huge living room was extremely dim.

Maybe the door was closed, or maybe Ying Xuan's heart foresaw danger.

"Madame, even if you ask, Li must know everything." Ying Xuan said humbly.

Mrs. Chen said: "Childe is from Xixian? ”

"Yes, I've lied before, but it's true." Ying Xuan's first reaction was to lie, but reason told him not to do it this time. Now it seems that Mrs. Chen is quite smart, she must have sent someone to inquire in advance, so she used the first question here, the purpose is to test herself.

Mrs. Chen smiled and nodded, and continued to ask, "Is it true or false that the son and my lord know each other?" ”

This time she got to the point. True, the disappearance of the disappearance will be suspected of him; False, I only blame myself for telling too many truths for the first pot of gold, if she doesn't know the statement now, will she still believe it?

"To be honest, Master Chen and I have always had business dealings, and he is my big customer." Ying Xuan spoke extremely carefully now, and he didn't want to anger Mrs. Chen, who was uncertain in front of her, and he would wait until he got out.

In case he didn't say a good word, he could only tie up a few people from the side.

Holding Mrs. Chen hostage, waiting for an opportunity to escape? Ying Xuan considered his skills and decisively gave up this unreliable idea.

"Oh, I want to ask what kind of business is going on between Childe and Master?" Mrs. Chen asked matter-of-factly.

"I can't say this, please forgive me." Ying Xuan said perfunctorily, where does he know what kind of business, selling horses? Forget it, let's think about the rest.

"Can't tell." Mrs. Chen's eyebrows were raised, and she said in a strange manner, "In my opinion, it's just your own business, maybe it's still an unsightly business." ”

Ying Xuan hurriedly explained: "Why did Madame say this, just because this business is expressly prohibited by the government, please ask Madame not to ask." ”

Mrs. Chen immediately stood up and shouted hoarsely: "Still talking nonsense, tell me where my master is?" Otherwise, you won't want to get out of the Chen Mansion! ”

What should have come is still coming.

Rushing to explain when someone misunderstands is always the best way to deal with it, and silence is sometimes a good idea.

……

"Knock Knock"

"Who?" Mrs. Chen yelled at the door.

"Madam, the slave has come to serve tea." A delicate voice rang out from outside the door.

"Come in!"

After the slave maid serving the tea left, Ying Xuan estimated that Mrs. Chen's anger had subsided a little, and then said: "Master Chen disappeared for no reason, I can understand Madame's feelings, but this matter really has nothing to do with me, please Madame Mingjian."

Master Chen treats Li well, how could I harm him for no reason. Besides, if the gangsters kidnap Master Chen, they must be trying to make some money, and the gangsters will do everything they can to hide, do you see that there are gangsters like me who show their faces? ”

Mrs. Chen didn't speak, but she agreed with Li Xuan's words a lot in her heart. After the disappearance of the master, she was worried and frightened day and night, and sometimes even wept until dawn. Originally, her elderly father could still help her and temporarily stabilize the chaotic situation of the Chen family.

However, a month and a half ago, a sudden serious illness took my father's life. The other backer also fell, and she had no choice but to rush to the doctor, took out the savings of the Chen Mansion for many years, and begged people everywhere.

As a result, the money was scattered, but the master still couldn't come back, which was tantamount to adding insult to injury for the Chen family, which was originally unsustainable.

Later, Li Xuan's reappearance made him ecstatic: Maybe the initiator was this Li Xuan! He first came from Xixian where the master went, and he knew a lot about the whereabouts of the master, and even used the master to deceive me. Yes, it must be him!

Mrs. Chen thinks about it again now, it was just her own imagination before, and all kinds of signs show that Li Xuan is becoming less and less like a murderer.

"If it's for money, why hasn't anyone come to the Chen Mansion to ask for money until now?" Mrs. Chen's tone softened.

Ying Xuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said solemnly: "Maybe there are other reasons, dare to ask Madame if she has alarmed the government?" ”

Mrs. Chen nodded and said, "I have done everything to ensure that the Chang'an Order and the adults in charge of the prison in Beijing want them to find the whereabouts of the master as soon as possible." ”

"Here's the problem!" Ying Xuan said bitterly, "Madam persecuted the gangsters so tightly, how dare they show up easily, and after a while, there may be news." ”

Madame Chen nodded thoughtfully, lost in thought.

Moments later.

Ying Xuan felt that the time was ripe, and if she stayed more, she might cause another incident, so she coughed lightly and said, "Li still has something to do, say goodbye to Mrs. here!" ”

Mrs. Chen said, "Childe has been staying for so long, you might as well drink this cup of tea before leaving." ”

"It's good!" Ying Xuan smiled and picked up the teacup, but he couldn't stop scolding in his heart.

What's so good to drink, not even tea, isn't it just plain water, it seems that she hasn't fully believed me!

Make persistent efforts, just one foot away, as long as you get out of the Chen Mansion, the vast sky will let me soar.

The tea is a little rough, but it makes sense for Ying Xuan to think that it is still in the Western Han Dynasty. Lifting the lid, a white breath came to his face, Ying Xuan secretly glanced at Mrs. Chen, ready to pretend to take a sip and finish.

As soon as he handed it to his lips, his eyes were on the cup, and he was startled, and he hurriedly re-covered it and put it back on the coffee table as if nothing had happened.

"Why doesn't Childe drink it? Are you worried that I'm going to do something in the tea? Mrs. Chen asked.

Ying Xuan smiled: "Madame is too worried!" It's just a little hot, wait until it's cooler before drinking. ”

As he spoke, he took a closer look at the living room. The problem is that there are two screens on both sides of the passage in the living room, although Yingxuan has not been in the Western Han Dynasty for a long time, but this is too unruly, not to mention a big family like Chenfu.

Ying Xuan pricked up his ears and vaguely heard the ...... behind the screen

There was the sound of broken footsteps.

The most poisonous woman's heart, the ancients did not deceive me.

Could it be that this wicked woman is still in ambush with a sword and axe? If Zhang Jing hadn't sat in the tea beforehand, I'm afraid he would still be kept in the dark.

Ying Xuan picked up the cup again and gently lifted the lid, the soil had been completely diluted in the cup, and the water was already muddy.

No wonder when the slave maid brought the tea, Gu Li was strange, his hands and feet were trembling slightly, and he was doing this kind of thing behind his back.

Poison? Or is it drugged?

He held back his anger, put down the cup that almost fooled him again, and said angrily to Mrs. Chen: "What do you want, I have explained the stated things many times, and you are willing to do it if you get the fish to die?" ”

(PS: I solemnly recommend a friend's work "Bandits at the End of the Ming Dynasty".)

Traveling through the end of the Ming Dynasty, Fan Jinyan, who was attached to the little soldier in the guard, just wanted to find his family who had crossed over and live a dull life. However, with the emergence of the erasure system and the influx of countless traversers, he was forced to be involved in the turbulent times of the surging undercurrent.

He never thought of competing for hegemony in the world, but he forced Chongzhen to sign the [Agreement of Giving Countries] with tears, the children of the Eight Banners went away to the bitter cold and barren land, the kings of Nanyang surrendered on their knees, and the Western countries fought for a hundred years. He did not give a single inch of land to his heroes, but the fiefs of his courtiers were all over the world. ）
