Chapter 13: This Man Is Terrible
At dusk, the sun sets, in the Yunwan courtyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
"Bang dang!"
With an angry shout: "Ridiculous! ”
It turned out that Nangong Feng, who had just returned home, heard Qin Wanting say that he wanted to buy fifty taels of gold dowry for Nangong Li, and in a fit of anger, he broke the tea cup he was holding.
"Master, dissipate your anger." Qin Wanting stepped forward and said softly,
"Li'er, I also consider marrying into the Nine Princes' Mansion in the future, I am afraid that there will be three long and two short, so I have a little money."
"Three long and two short? What three long and two short to 500,000 taels of gold to eliminate the disaster! The more Nangong Feng thought about it, the more angry he became, and immediately asked someone to call Nangong Li over.
500,000 taels of gold!
That's one-fifth of the Prime Minister's property!
How could Qin Wanting, who had a ghost in her heart, let Nangong Li come over, if she didn't settle the 500,000 taels of gold, that fool still had her handle in her hand, if it was exposed......
The consequences are unimaginable!
"Wait." Thinking about it, Qin Wanting shouted to the subordinate who was about to go to Xinyi Courtyard, that is, the courtyard where Nangong Li now lives.
Turning his head and softly said, "Master, didn't you forget...... That Nine Princes is a ......"
Qin Wanting reminded Nangong Feng meaningfully, don't forget, Nangong Li is going to marry a sick prince who will die at any time.
The implication is that Nangong Li may be widowed at any time in the future, but it is not easy to be widowed in the Nine Kings' Mansion.
First of all, it is impossible to determine which Nangong Li and the Nine Princes will go to the West Heaven first, and giving 500,000 taels of gold is also a righteous to Nangong Liren.
As for whether there is a life flower, it's another story.
Prime Minister Nuoda's family business, 500,000 taels of gold came back in four or five years, but Nangong Li has been in it for the rest of his life.
Thinking of this, the two looked at each other, each thinking in their hearts.
Nangong Feng, who was angry, thought about what Qin Wanting said, and there was indeed such a thing.
Don't look at how beautiful the nine princes used to be, but now there is only one person left and right, there is the surveillance of the current emperor, and the forces of all parties are probing to the bottom.
The Nine Kings' Mansion, which seems to have won the favor, has actually become an empty shell for a long time.
And his daughter, even though she is arrogant and arrogant, does not know the etiquette, but she is also the only child left in this world by the person she loves deeply......
Yes, since Qin Qingning's death, Nangong Feng has pretended to hate her for being cowardly and incompetent, and has been pretending to be cold and cold all day long.
But no one knew that although Nangong Feng was able to find a beautiful woman by means back then, there was only Qin Qingning's wife in the backyard, and there was no connecting concubine room.
After Qin Qingning's death, Nangong Feng was reluctant to see Nangong Li, because his eyebrows and eyes looked too similar...... simply threw it directly into Qin Wanting's courtyard and didn't ask.
It can be said that the original owner still longs for his father's love in his heart, and his mother has passed away, and the original owner, who has nowhere to rely on, thinks that Qin Wanting, who loves him very much, really regards herself as her own daughter.
Thinking of the debt to Nangong Li, Nangong Feng was a little moved, in fact, 500,000 taels of gold is no more and no less for the Prime Minister's Mansion.
After thinking about it, he sighed and said, "That's it, after all, it's me, the father, who owes her too much." You arrange it well, so that she will be more beautiful when she gets married. ”
With that, he went in the direction of the study.
At this time, he was still thinking about how to persuade Nangong Feng to take out 500,000 taels of gold willingly, but when he heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned, looked at the back not far away, and didn't react until he disappeared.
Suddenly he sat heavily on the stool, and the sadness that had never been revealed appeared on his face at this time, and the handkerchief in his hand was tightly clutched.
Why?
Why can't she take the woman's place after so many years of hard work?
She has been conscientious for so many years, asking herself what she has done in the back house, she has never been worthy of Nangong Feng, and he has also seen it in her eyes over the years, so how can she not hate?
I was stunned for a moment.
Xinyi Temple, brightly lit.
Keeping Begonia to take care of Su Yun, Nangong Li was very relieved, and she had to take a good bath to relieve the fatigue of the past few days.
As for 500,000 taels of gold, she didn't care how Qin Wanling took out so much money overnight.
Nangong Li, who thought that Qin Wanting would be worried about 500,000 taels of gold all night, didn't know that Nangong Feng agreed to buy her a dowry of 500,000 taels of gold after a fierce struggle......
As for what kind of person the person who will marry tomorrow is, Nangong Li is not too worried, because in the memory of the original owner, there is only a fragment of Ding Xing for this Nine Princes.
I don't know if he deserves to be cruel or what, everything will be known when she gets married.
It's useless to think about it now. Heng Zhu won't be like the one in Yun Wan's courtyard, trying to poison her by all means, right?
At the moment, it is the most important thing to enjoy the petal bath, and I don't know how those women in ancient times were fragrant, so they just rely on petal washing?
Probably not.
Nangong Li was lying in the bathtub, although it was not as comfortable as her own jacuzzi, but after three days of misery, the whole person was really tired.
At the same time, she also refused Yaye's "kindness", she didn't dare to enjoy an artificial massage or something, after all, this maid was from Yunwan Courtyard, and she couldn't tell the black hand, and the woman probably wished she was dead now......
For the sake of safety, Nangong Li decided to bathe alone,
"Do it yourself, have plenty of food and clothing, cool!"
Nangong Li muttered to herself, while dispensing medicine from the smart space, she took a petal bath, and then went back to the room to sleep peacefully.
As soon as my head touched the pillow, my brain fell into a deep sleep, and I had no dreams all night, which was very sweet.
The stars are shining brightly at night, the cool breeze is refreshing, and the wicker on the roadside is gently swaying with the wind, with a hint of ghost.
Somewhere in the study of the back house, the faint candlelight is faint.
I saw a man sitting in front of the desk, under the reflection of the candlelight, some vague shadows of the reflection of facial features left a clear transition line between light and dark on the angular face, half of the face was faintly hidden in the dark, thin lips slightly pursed, evil and weird.
Despite this, the momentum exuded by his body was extremely oppressive, and he vaguely felt that this man was definitely not that simple.
Eyes like a cold pool were staring at the man in black who was kneeling down.
But if you don't look closely, you won't feel the presence of this person at all, and even the sound of breathing is inaudible.
I saw the man in black kneeling motionlessly at the feet of the man above, until the sound of the man's slender fingers tapping on the table sounded,
The man in black immediately spoke: "Master, according to the report, after Nangong Li knew that he was going to marry into the palace, he was placed under house arrest by Nangong Feng, and only sent a bowl of white porridge every day during this period.
This afternoon, the energetic asked the prime minister's wife for 500,000 taels of silver on the grounds that the prime minister's wife had given her chronic poison, and then followed .....
Together with the maid, he beat the personal mother of the prime minister's wife, and then returned to the house without movement. ”
Thinking of the novel picture of the afternoon, the people in black secretly admired in their hearts: No one in the capital knows that there are two daughters in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the difference between cloud and mud is different.
But it's better to see than to hear, the rumored Nangong glass chest has no ink, no talent, no virtue, arrogant and domineering, but it is obviously brave and strategic, it seems that this Nangong girl has lived to this day by pretending to be crazy and stupid......
The man who sat motionless above lowered his eyes and pondered, and after listening to the report of the man in black, he did not speak immediately, but repeatedly rubbed the jade wrench on the thumb of his right hand, intentionally or unintentionally.
The man in black only felt a tightness on the top of his head, and his body was enveloped by the feeling of oppression coming from above, and his breathing gradually became heavier unconsciously.
The room was suddenly quiet and terrible, only the sound of dripping water was clearly heard, and the placket of the man in black at this time was already wet.
There was a layer of small beads of sweat on the door of his head, but he didn't dare to move when he knelt, and he didn't dare to reach out to wipe his sweat, quietly waiting for the response of the man above.
Suddenly, as soon as the man moved, the black-clothed man's throat tightened, and he only heard a lazy low and charming voice above his head: "Three days away from home, the situation of the person." ”
The man's tone was not slow or urgent, and his words were clear, but those present did not think he was very gentle.
The man in black spoke: "Three days ago, Nangong Li was hinted by the maid next to the prime minister's wife, and fled from the house. Then he was ...... He was taken captive, tortured and beaten to death, and his subordinates secretly inserted poisonous needles in his neck to death.
At that time, his subordinates followed all the way, and while the woman was not paying attention, he quietly sniffed, and he had lost his breath and his body was cold. But...... After arriving at the mass grave, he suddenly opened his eyes again, killed the two men who threw the corpses, and played all the way back to his home. ”
"Ask the master to punish him, because his subordinates are ineffective, and his subordinates voluntarily receive the punishment." The man in black said with his head buried deeply.
That's right, this man in black is the killer sent by Jun Moyuan to assassinate the original owner, since he learned that the emperor intended to give him a marriage, and the original owner who has no talent and no virtue is not worthy of the crown princess,
found a reason to give her to Jun Moyuan. At that time, the decree had not yet been given, and no one else knew about it.
"Are you sure the person is dead?" A cold voice sounded, with a hint of murderous intent.
"The subordinates would never dare to deceive their masters, at that time...... It's true that people are out of gas. ”
The man in black couldn't wait to cry at this time, it was too insulting to his profession, and he obviously succeeded.
Jun Moyuan raised his eyes, and after sweeping a few laps around the man in black, he said coldly: "Ten lashes." ”
"Yes."
After the head was withdrawn, the figure disappeared in a flash, and after going out, the breeze hit, only to feel that the stone pressed on his back was gone, and even his breathing was more enjoyable.
Even ten lashes would have to lie down for at least ten days and half a month for a man in black, but among those who had committed major offences in the past, this was already considered the lightest.
"Back from the dead?"
Jun Moyuan was the only one left in the room, and I saw him muttering in a low voice with the fingers of his right hand, with doubts. After all, it's unlikely that your own people will miss,
But ......
"Interesting."
"Dark One" Jun Moyuan picked up a letter on the table and said thoughtfully.
A black figure suddenly flashed in the dim room, as agile as lightning, faster than the man in black who had just left.
"How's it going over there?"
After Jun Moyuan finished reading the letter in his hand, he placed it on top of the candle flame that was dancing in the wind, lit the letter, and asked as he looked at the slowly burning flame.
"Master, the origin of the Nine Shadows Pavilion is unknown, it is rumored that it was brought up in the Snow Country, and our people suffered a lot of losses in their hands when they were on a mission." Dark One replied respectfully.
"Is there a conflict of interest?"
Jun Moyuan couldn't figure out why an organization suddenly appeared, and it seemed that every time he targeted the people he accepted, the action seemed to cut off the net he had laid in other countries.
"I don't know yet, this organization is elusive, the pavilion master of the Nine Shadows Pavilion never shows his face when he hears it, and the hall masters who accept it are also,
They mainly take on killer tasks, intelligence gathering, etc., but they act in an opinion, and they are not like evil sects. Dark thought for a moment and answered.
"How?" Jun Moyuan threw away the burned confetti, raised his eyes and looked at the man in black in front of him and asked.
"Jiuyouge takes over business, one is to hurt the sky and not do it; the second is about the royal family information is not received; The third is to bully and kill the weak. ”
After a pause, he continued with annoyance: "But when our subordinates checked it, our secret pavilion did not intersect with it, but when it came to executing key figures, it repeatedly failed. ”
"Keep looking." Jun Moyuan rubbed the jade ring and said. After bowing in secret, he disappeared into the night, and was no longer visible.
Jun Moyuan looked out the window at the pitch black, the dark clouds that covered the sky and the moon,
It adds a bit of weirdness to this dead night, as if a big hand behind it is trying to tear this area apart and control everything.
This feeling made him very uncomfortable, he definitely wouldn't believe it, this hand was done by people in the court, forgive those people and don't have that ability, but who is it?
It's late at night, and it's silent.
"Come on, go back to the room."
I saw a person come in from outside the door, picked up Jun Moyuan, who was sitting, and walked to the inner room, and the sound of a man's cough echoed in the corridor, which tugged at people's hearts and lungs.
