Xie An, the secretary of the Criminal Department......

Since the battles of the rebels in Chang'an and Luoyang a few years ago, at the request of the Taiping army, Qin Ke'er has focused on this man who was also from Guangling, and was amazed by his experience.

For many nights, Qin Ke'er couldn't help but think with a funny mood that when some officials of Guangling Mansion secretly colluded with local tycoons to join forces to plot and frame the Su family, did they ever think that the Su family members they didn't care about at that time would one day return to Guangling with a completely different honorable identity and settle this account with them.

Four years ago, the imperial court's criminal deployment suddenly and uncharacteristically thoroughly investigated the corrupt officials and evil officials in the Guangling Mansion. Maybe the people of Guangling City were puzzled, but Qin Ke'er was very clear, it was obviously caused by Xie An, otherwise, how could the imperial court's punishment deployment be aimed at Guangling alone?

However, what Qin Ke'er never expected was that one day she would be one step ahead of those Guangling Mansion officials and be confronted by Xie An.

[Miss Yushu, you should know why Childe is here this time, right?] ]

Hearing this, Qin Ke'er could conclude that Xie An had probably heard rumors about her in Guangling City, and this time she had come specifically for the Guangling Assassin who had assassinated him a few days ago.

Damn Wanli!

Scolding in her heart, Qin Ke'er deliberately pretended to be puzzled, looked up at Xie An, and then pretended to be shy and lowered her head, and said in a low voice, "It's really ...... that the little slave Pu Liu's posture can enter the eyes of the eldest grandson."

Not?

So what the hell is going on here?

Xie An was stunned, he wanted to know that he was willing to ask Qin Ke'er about the Guangling assassin, but he didn't want the other party to seem to have misunderstood, and after saying this, it was as if he Xie An was specifically coming for the other party's beauty, and Xie An couldn't answer here.

I thought about it for a while. Xie An nodded and said, "Well, Miss Yushu is indeed famous, but ...... Let's put it this way, what is the relationship between Miss Yushu and the Guangling Assassins? ”

Don't give any face?

Qin Ke'er was secretly sulking in her heart, she wanted to use Fang Cai's words to divert the topic, but she didn't want Xie An to ignore it at all, but instead bluntly stated the purpose of this visit, which made her plan to expose the Guangling assassin without mentioning it completely empty talk.

"Guangling Assassin?" Under Xie An's gaze. Qin Ke'er frowned and thought for a while, and suddenly said with a little bitterness, "Eldest grandson has heard about it?" ”

I have to say that Qin Ke'er's words were very clever, and she seemed to answer Xie An's words. In fact, he returned the ball to Xie An, so as to probe his bottom and see what he knew.

Rao is Xie An didn't seem to see it this time, and nodded when he heard the words and said, "Not bad!" -- Rumors about the young lady of the jade book are rumored in Guangling City. Some people say that Miss Yushu is the woman of the leader of the Guangling Assassins, while others say that Miss Yushu secretly colluded with the Guangling Assassins. Raise money for ......"

"Yes," Qin Ke'er's eyes turned glazed when she heard this, and she said bitterly after sighing faintly. "If a weak woman like a slave wants to survive in this world. is bound to be attached to a certain force, and the eldest grandson will not look down on the little slave because of this, right? As she spoke, she raised her head and looked at Xie An with an expectant gaze.

Of course not......

Looking at the beauties in front of him with that pitiful look, Xie An almost blurted out what he thought in his heart, fortunately, his willpower had been tempered by the eldest grandson Xiangyu for a long time, and he said without praise or disparagement, "Well, human nature, Miss Yushu doesn't need to be presumptuous...... In other words, Miss Yushu did have a connection with the Guangling Assassins, did she? ”

Qin Ke'er lowered her head and thought for a moment, and said with a wry smile, "The eldest grandson is really a kind man, poking at the bitterness in the heart of the little slave every sentence......

For some reason, hearing Qin Ke'er's thin love, Xie An suddenly had a fluttering feeling, especially Qin Ke'er's helpless and pitiful appearance, which made Xie An'an feel like he wanted to bully her.

It stands to reason that when a woman shows a helpless expression, it will undoubtedly make the man feel pity and can't bear to hit her again, just like Xie An's wife, Changsun Xiangyu, how many times, when Changsun Xiangyu snorted and showed that pitiful expression, Rao is Xie An was determined to teach this woman a good lesson, and he would soften his heart because he saw her expression, and then he couldn't do it, at most he reprimanded him a little, even if Xie Anzhong knew very well that it was Changsun Xiangyu's trick, he couldn't help but be deceived.

But there is another kind of woman in the world, when she shows that helpless look, she can provoke the man's heart more and more, so that the man can't help but want to be a villain and ravage the beauty in front of him, Qin Ke'er is the latter.

A faint sigh made Xie An'an feel at ease, and Qin Ke'er had a bitter look on his face, and muttered, "What the eldest grandson said is both a fact and a non-fact......

"What do you mean by that?"

Qin Ke'er raised her head and glanced at Xie An, she wanted to admit that she was the woman of the leader of the Guangling assassins as rumored, but when he caught a glimpse of Gou Gong's sharp gaze, he could sense that something was wrong, and immediately changed his words and said, "The leader of the Guangling assassins is named Wan Li, and the reason why this person rumored that the little slave was his woman was nothing more than to use this to tie up the little slave, and treat the little slave as his cash cow......"

When speaking, although Qin Ke'er's eyes were looking at Xie An, the corner of her eyes always paid attention to Gou Gong's eyes, and when she heard this, she was slightly stunned, and the sharp color in her eyes had receded a little for some reason, and she was secretly glad that she had made the right bet.

As she guessed, Gou Gong did have doubts about her, after all, according to rumors in Guangling City, this Qin Ke'er was the woman of the leader of the Guangling assassins, but in Gou Gong's eyes, this woman was clearly still a virgin, how could this not make Gou Gong suspicious?

Who is Gou Gong? Before he became Xie An's abdomen, he was one of the leaders of the Dongling people, and he had done nothing less in his life to harm the women of good families, it can be said that he had read countless women, whether a woman was a virgin or not, he could see it with a sweep of his eyes, after all, he had experience in this area, but in the past three years, he was very concerned about his official position as the Shaoqing of the Great Prison Temple, so he got rid of his former bad habits, after all, people want to save face.

If it weren't for the fact that his own adult, Xie An, seemed to have a good impression of the woman in front of him. At the same time, Gou Gong himself did not dare to be sure whether the woman was as he thought, and he had already questioned the matter.

And now that he heard Qin Ke'er say that she was just a cash cow for Wan Li, the leader of the Guangling assassins, Gou Gong's suspicion of her was slightly reduced, but even so, he still doubted the identity of this woman.

It's a pity that the second master mother is not here, if the second master mother is here, I'm afraid I can see through the details of this woman at a glance, right?

Thinking of the eldest grandson Xiangyu's shocking speculation, Gou Gong sighed secretly in his heart, secretly regretting that he had no talent in that area.

In his opinion. Even his sworn brother, Mo Fei, the most prestigious murderous ghost sickle in Dongling, was all cleaned up and obeyed by the eldest grandson Xiangyu, and was willing to be his loyal dog, what is the difficulty of dealing with this [mirage] Qin Ke'er?

And since the second master's mother, Sun Xiangyu, is not here at the moment, then Gou Gong can only dare to check for his own adult. After all, the Qin Ke'er in front of him vaguely gave him a kind of pressure as if he had seen the second master's mother, Sun Xiangyu, but the pressure was not as strong as the latter.

In all fairness, Gou Gong was worried every time he saw his eldest grandson Xiangyu, for fear of being calculated by her.

After thinking about it, Gou Gong asked in a deep voice, "Didn't Wan Li touch you?" ――Even if they think of you as a cash cow. Even if he touches you, it doesn't matter, right? ”

Qin Ke'er chuckled in her heart when she heard this, and she finally realized where she had exposed her feet.

I see......

Secretly relieved in her heart, Qin Ke'er said bitterly. "Even though the little slave is in the posture of Pu Liu, he finally bears the name of [Siji], so that rich and powerful people from all walks of life flock to it...... Deng Yuan, the son of the Deng family, must have seen the eldest grandson. Over the past few years, he has been entangled with the little slaves, and he has spent countless amounts in this Spring Festival Building. If the little slave is already a broken flower, how can he be so heartfelt? ――Compared with the appearance of the little slave, Wan Li cares more about how much money the little slave earns for him...... With a lot of silver, will there still be a shortage of women? ”

"This ......" Gou Gong was speechless when he heard this, nodded, he believed Qin Ke'er's words, after all, he also looked at it this way, when he did those things in Dongling earlier, wasn't it because the women of the good family looked down on him, after all, Gou Gong's face was also handsome, but his reputation was too bad, and since he took refuge in Xie An, he had been appointed as the Shaoqing of the Great Prison Temple in the imperial court, how many daughters of rich families in Jijing wanted to take the opportunity to get close to him, right now, it was he who chose women, not by women, The difference between the two is simply because of a change in identity.

This world is like this, if you are rich and powerful, there will be no shortage of women around you.

I have to say that although Gou Gong is more than vigilant, he is really not good at grasping people's hearts, if it is the eldest grandson Xiangyu, she will definitely not say anything about it, but continue to put pressure on Qin Ke'er and make him panic in his heart, after all, once people are panicked, they will show flaws, and now that Gou Gong has broken this matter, the inexplicable panic in Qin Ke'er's heart has long disappeared without a trace, and there is no handle in Gou Gong's hands, and even Gou Gong helped Qin Ke'er in turn.

Hey? This Qin Ke'er, who is called [Mirage], is still a virgin?

Hearing the conversation between Gou Gong and Qin Ke'er, Xie An couldn't help but feel excited, after all, Qin Ke'er, who was born a stunner, was inexplicably attractive.

"Then Wan Li actually just uses you as a prop to make money?" Xie An asked incredulously.

It seemed that she noticed the familiar look in Xie An's eyes, Qin Ke'er smiled bitterly in her heart, she knew that she might not be able to run this time, after all, she was too familiar with that kind of look, the kind of fierce eyes that wanted to strip her naked and fall on the bed.

Although it slightly alleviated Gou Gong's suspicion of her, it also attracted Xie An's covetousness, although it was not an unexpected thing, but it also made her smile bitterly in her heart, after all, if it was an ordinary person, she might be able to use the intimidation of the Guangling assassins and the connections of the officials of Guangling Mansion to make her retreat, but in front of her, she really couldn't think of any way to avoid it, simply put, if Xie An wanted to get her, she was powerless to resist.

"Not everyone pities us and other women like the eldest grandson...... Qin Ke'er sighed, her sigh this time was undoubtedly from the heart, because she could have a hunch that Xie An, who was under the pseudonym Changsun Wu in front of her, would never let go again.

Wait a minute......

Helplessly smiling bitterly, Qin Ke'er's heart moved, and she suddenly thought. Staying by the side of this powerful and powerful man in front of her is not better than her staying in the Spring Festival Tower?

Xie An has two groups of assassins under Xie An, the Dongling people and the Jinling people, Qin Ke'er is clear, and she is even worried that one day these two groups of assassins will track her down, if so, with her crime of colluding with the Taiping army and the three kings, not only will she not survive, but the helpless women who make a living under her hands may not be able to escape the fate of being implicated. And if Xie Anna is her concubine, will the Dongling people and the Jinling people still dare to track down her details unscrupulously?

It can be regarded as a way out, I only need to pay one thing, the same thing that I have treasured for more than 20 years......

Thinking of this, Qin Ke'er suddenly stood up. Ying Ying said with a smile, "If the eldest grandson doesn't dislike it, the little slave is willing to play a song for the son, so as to help the wine and ......."

"Huh?" Rao is Xie An couldn't figure out why Qin Ke'er suddenly had such an interest in stroking the piano for him, but he couldn't go against the other party's kindness, raised his left hand and said, "Miss Yushu, please!" ”

"Don't dare to ......" bowed his head and thanked him. Qin Ke'er got up and sat down behind the low table where the piano was placed, glanced at Xie An, stroked the piano, and only listened to the melodious and sad sound of the piano. It seems that the tune contains countless heartaches and pains, so Xie An can't help but close his eyes and savor it.

It's not that Xie An hasn't heard qin music, after all, the eldest grandson Xiangyu is a master of qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, and that woman is too smart. It seems that there is nothing difficult to get her in this world, which greatly reduces Xie An's novelty about this. And the [Mirage] Qin Keer's piano skills in front of him can be comparable to that of the eldest grandson Xiangyu, which really surprised Xie An.

I have to say that the eldest grandson Xiangyu is a little sad, her light is too bright, so bright that her husband Xie An is accustomed to any of her talents and achievements.

After a whole stick of incense, the melodious and sad qin song gradually stopped, although Xie An couldn't hear which song Qin Ke'er was playing, but he did understand the sadness and pain contained in the qin song, not to mention him, even Wang Xin, the little girl who had been glaring at Qin Ke'er since she entered the door, was also fascinated by it at this time, and even, as if she was reminded of the grievances she had experienced for many years by this sad qin song, which made her eyes red, her nose twitched, and she was cutely tight.

"Good song!" Because he couldn't applaud, Xie An could only knock on the table with his left hand, and said in admiration, hearing the sound of the piano, he admired Qin Ke'er even more than the title [Mirage].

"The little slave is ugly, the eldest grandson doesn't have to laugh at it......" Qin Ke'er thanked her, noticing Xie An's fiery gaze, she lowered her head a little uncomfortably, although she has seen a lot of this kind of gaze, but the most critical problem is that she has a way to deal with those men in the past, but the one in front of her is not something she can afford to provoke.

After a few words of praise, Xie An asked about the Guangling assassin again, after all, this was the main purpose of his trip, and as for the beauty in front of him, it could only be said that it was an additional gain.

"That Wan Li actually sent someone to assassinate the eldest son of Sun Gongzi......" After hearing Xie An's story, Qin Ke'er exclaimed, after all, she didn't want to expose the fact that she was a member of the Guangling Assassins.

"Not bad! ――Does Miss Yushu know the whereabouts of this person? Looking at the beauty in front of him, Xie Anzhong's hatred for Wan Li, the head of the Guangling assassins, was a little stronger, in his opinion, if it wasn't for that bastard guy, how could he accidentally fall off the cliff and be injured? If he wasn't injured, why couldn't he put Qin Ke'er's lovely food in front of him.

Of course, Xie An can also ask Qin Ke'er to serve him, anyway, whether it is from Xie An's perspective or Qin Ke'er's point of view, she doesn't dare to disobey, but this kind of thing is still a bit embarrassing in the end.

"This ......" Qin Ke'er hesitated for a moment, feeling that it was better not to meddle in it, lest the Wanli dog jump over the wall and betray her, thinking of this, she shook her head and said, "Don't blame the eldest grandson, that Wanli, the little slave has only seen him a few times, and I really don't know where he is hiding, besides...... The Guangling assassins have a lot of power in the city, and the little slave thinks that it is better for the eldest grandson not to oppose them......" In order not to reveal her identity, she said pretending to be worried.

Men always like to be able to act in front of women, and Rao is Xie An is not immune to this, and said with a sneer when he heard this, "Miss Yushu doesn't have to worry, even if the Guangling assassin is powerful in the city, and Gongzi doesn't care about it, then since Wan Li dares to assassinate Gongzi, how can Gongzi be reconciled with him?" ”

Qin Ke'er was silent when she heard this, after all, she didn't have a good impression of Wan Li, who advocated taking orders to kill people and earn a reward.

In fact, what Jin Ling'er once said about [Guangling assassins only sell intelligence and don't kill people] refers to the part of Guangling assassins under Qin Ke'er's jurisdiction, no, they can't actually be called assassins, at most they are some women who don't know martial arts at all, but it is these women who collect intelligence from all sides for Qin Ke'er.

Taverns, post stations, and Qinglou have been the gathering place of intelligence since ancient times, especially the Qinglou, you must know that in the Great Zhou, although the imperial court forbade officials to visit the Qinglou, there are still a large number of officials who are nostalgic for it, and even Xie An, a big man who is the secretary of the criminal department, also frequently enters and exits the weathered place when he is in Jijing, not to mention others?

In this regard, the imperial court also turned a blind eye, after all, it was repeatedly banned, but even so, the imperial court still forbade officials to talk about state affairs in the Qinglou, but in fact, there are still many officials in the Qinglou who tell a lot of things about the law.

For example, if an official is dissatisfied with a certain decree that is about to be issued, he is depressed and goes to the Qinglou to eat and relax, and confides in his heart after being drunk, which makes the confidential information of the imperial court leaked to the woman who accompanies the wine, and once these confidential information of the imperial court is mastered by a certain force in advance, it is likely to have a great impact.

And Qin Ke'er made a living from this, not only in Guangling, she had Qinglou in all counties and counties of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and she placed a woman she trusted in the building to collect all kinds of information for her, and when all kinds of information flowed into her hands, after she sorted it out, it was sold to the forces that needed it, such as the Taiping Army, such as the Three Kings.

Once this kind of intelligence network is constructed, its destructive power is undoubtedly quite terrifying, and it is precisely because of this that Qin Ke'er can wander among the forces of all parties, and become an existence that cannot be touched by some men who covet her beauty, until she meets Xie An......

In all fairness, Qin Ke'er really didn't expect that the rumors she deliberately spread would one day become her weakness, and she didn't expect that a member of the Su family in Guangling City would become such a big man a few years later.

Because she has countless precious information in her hands, Qin Ke'er knows very well Xie An's current power, not to mention that she is powerless to provoke, I am afraid that even the Taiping army will have to retreat, you must know that Yangzhou has a full 80,000 elite soldiers and horses.

Like other Jiangnan people, Qin Keer did not have a good impression of the Great Zhou at all, and even supported the Taiping Army, after all, the latter was a righteous army led by the surviving members of the Southern Tang Dynasty.

However, Xie An's appearance completely disrupted her steps.

The information that Xie An, the secretary of the criminal department of the imperial court, secretly went to Jiangnan and presided over the affairs of Jiangnan, should have been passed to that clever little girl......

What will she do?

That little girl who is not very old, but seems to be able to perceive things in the world......

Do you immediately raise troops to resist the Great Zhou army, seize the city, and strike first, or wait a few more days and wait for all the deployments to be ready?

While pouring wine for Xie An, while Qin Ke'er secretly sighed about her fate, she couldn't help but think of the person who made her feel convinced.

The soul of the Taiping Army, a descendant of the Southern Tang Dynasty royal family, [Heavenly Ji], Liu Qing!
