Chapter 31: 031: Undercurrents
The snow melted in the harsh winter, and Qingshi Town ushered in the most noisy time.
Up and down the Xu Mansion, the guests were full, and the servants were very busy, but their faces were full of joy.
Xu Chun still fulfilled his promise, rewarded all the domestic servants and servants in the Xu Mansion, and his salary skyrocketed tenfold.
But thinking about it, even if it rises dozens of times, it is just a drizzle for the foundation of the hundreds of warehouses in Xu Mansion.
The backyard of Xufu, compared with the lively lobby, is a little more quiet here.
The three small courtyards connected together, birds and birds are falling, and the branches and shadows are swaying.

The friction between the wooden door and the door frame is as uncomfortable as a fingernail scraping a blackboard, a woman in Tsing Yi who has not gone out all the year round, tiptoeing, poking out of the crack in the door, showing her tired eyes behind the door, looking left and right, seeing that there is no one around, hurriedly closed the door of the house, and ran towards the small door in the backyard of Xu's house.
It wasn't long before another door opened the door.
A man in a golden robe and a tall, thin man burst out of the firewood room.
followed the woman in Tsing Yi all the way out of the backyard.
Today is the day of Master Xu's treat, and there are few people on the street.
The woman in green clothes, hiding in Tibet, looked back from time to time, ran to the shade of a tree to rest for a while, and then went into the alley, turned around and ran out secretly.
In the dark corner, Ah Niu asked in a low voice, "Brother Huang, are you really okay?" Didn't the lord punish you for a week of confinement? ”
Who knew that the man in the fancy clothes had no distracting thoughts, and put his index finger to his mouth, "Shhh He gestured and ignored him.
Seeing this, Ah Niu didn't ask too much, and the thief poked his head out and looked ahead.
This woman in Tsing Yi is Ami who lives next door to Huang Lian.
It's strange to say, this guy doesn't know what he does in the house, and he doesn't go out of the house as a whole, but the maid in the backyard respects her very much, and every time she passes by her yard, she will stop at the door and bend down slightly to show respect.
This Huang someone, who was not still roasting chicken wings in the house, moved his ears, and sure enough, there was a situation, and the strange woman actually went out.
Interesting~!
Looking at her cautious performance along the way, she didn't dare to go on the main road, and she just drilled into these alleys and paths.
The body is not afraid of the shadow slanted, this Ami is not simple!
"Brother Huang! Look! "Just when Huang is thinking about it, yo! The show begins.
Under the old poplar tree at the entrance of the town in front of her, Ami kept stomping her steps and looking ahead, covering her chest with her hands, looking at the expectation in her eyes and the blush on her face, could it be... Is it a tryst with an old lover?
Dada-da~!
The sound of horses' hooves came to my ears.
In the distance in the jungle, a black steed leaped over the weeds and suddenly appeared, and the stout man turned over and jumped off the horse, his movements were dashing and neat, and he walked by holding the reins.
A smile appeared on Ami's face, and she ran to the man and said gently: "Brother Zhang~You're back~"
"Here, this is the ointment I made for you to live blood and bones." Ami seemed to remember something, and handed over the white jade bottle she was holding in both hands.
Like a girl who has just fallen in love, her head is shy and shy, but the intertwined fingers all reveal her inner restlessness.
"Damn, it's really an old lover's tryst! It's still Brother Zhang! Interesting~! Huang Lian smiled as an aunt and waved his hand to signal Ah Niu to leave with him.
"Brother Huang, don't you want to take a look again?" Ah Niu was obviously unsatisfied, and his eyes kept looking ahead, but it was reasonable to think that he was still single at the age of twenty-nine.
"What's so nice about this, let's go back and bake chicken wings, I thought there was some conspiracy, boring~!" The yellow face stretched his waist, and walked lazily towards the Xu Mansion with his head in his hands.
"Alas~ If I were..."Ah Niu glanced enviously at the two hugging each other, smiled bitterly, and turned his head away.

"Gone?"
"Gone."
As soon as the two walked away, Ami and Brother Zhang looked around vigilantly, looking around vigilantly, it seemed that behind you and me, there was weirdness everywhere.
Ami still has a smile on her face, her eyes are tender like water, and anyone who sees it will think that she is a pair of golden boys and girls.
She chuckled and whispered in Brother Zhang's ear, "How is the investigation?" ”
"It's the same as Miss guessed, it was indeed killed by Xu Chun." Brother Zhang smiled, even his eyes were full of tenderness, but there was boundless hatred hidden in the depths of his eyes.
"Old thief Xu Chun has already started to send people to spy on me, what should I do?" Ami asked, her red lips brushing the corners of Brother Zhang's mouth.
"I'll go and tell him, 'I'm going to marry you.'" Brother Zhang hugged him tighter.
"He's starting to be a little suspicious of me, and he's not going to say yes." Ami lowered her head shyly.
"He will."

Xufu study.
The masked man in black knelt behind Xu Chun and asked respectfully, "My lord, do you want me to get rid of him?" ”
Xu Chun was silent, kept banging on the table, and in contemplation, he closed his eyes, and the study was already quiet and terrible.
After a while, he opened his eyes, and the undercurrent in his weather-beaten eyes surged, this is the overall situation that subverts everything, and no chess piece can be mistaken.
"Forget it, the bronze trident is connected to him by cause and effect, and one more outsider has a great impact on the future."
"That's... Do you want to separate him from the little master. The man in black asked again.
"Hmm~ You go and arrange this matter, and never let the two of them meet until the boy has completely mastered the Guhuang Zhenyan." Xu Chun nodded, he still remembered the scene that happened the day before yesterday, and Gu Huang Zhenyan still had a vague connection with Huang Lian's mother.
Now that we know about this kind of thing, we must never let it happen again!
"By the way, how did Boss Zhang handle it?" Xu Chun suddenly remembered Brother Zhang, who had left the town a few days ago.
"According to the news from his subordinates, all 378 members of the Liu family were killed, and none of them were spared." The man in black reported truthfully.
"Are there any hidden dangers?" Xu Chun looked at Ami and Brother Zhang, who were hugging each other in the bronze mirror, and asked.
"No, Boss Zhang did a great job, even the newborn baby of the Liu family was hacked to death by him, chopped up and fed to the dogs, and even all the Liu family's doormen and servants were slaughtered by him."
"Not bad." Xu Chun nodded his head affirmatively, with a hint of relief on his face.
"Let's go down~!" Xu Chun waved his hand and said indifferently.
With a faint "Yes!" The man in black was reduced to debris in the breeze that blew in.
Da!
A crisp snap of fingers sounded in the study, and the bronze mirror on the table rippled for a while, and then returned to its original state.
Footsteps came from outside the door, "Master! Brother Zhang knocked on the door a few times and called in a low voice.
"Enter!" When the words fell, the door opened, and it was Brother Zhang and Ami who were hugging each other at the entrance of the town.
"Master, please allow the apprentice to marry Ami!" The two knelt on their knees in front of Xu Chun's feet, waiting for Xu Chun's reply.
