187, back alley rescue
Xu Tianci put down the scroll in his hand and asked slowly, "Everything is done?" ”
Ah Qing hurriedly said: "It's all done, all the minions that should be dealt with have been ordered, and Xiaocui has been sent away, even if Lord Fu Yin feels suspicious, he can't continue to investigate." ”
"That's good, I can trust you to do things." Xu Tianci's tone was very satisfied.
Aqing didn't dare to take credit, so he thanked him, and then said with hesitation: "Master, you really don't need to give Xiaocui to ......" It's always bad to leave a living mouth, what if something goes wrong one day?
Xu Tianci smiled, but the smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes, "Since I promised to let her leave the capital safely, then naturally I have to talk about it." ”
Ah Qing understands in seconds, this means that he will wait until he is far away from the capital to do it, and he is busy taking orders to leave to make arrangements.
In an instant, only Xu Tianci was left alone in the study.
He stood up, walked to the window, looked at the green swaying bamboo forest outside, and sighed slightly.
At first, he just wanted to give up Su Fengjiao alone, after all, the child in her womb was his own flesh and blood, and he was still a little unbearable, but after thinking about it, what could he do if he left this child? Xie Linlang will not be kept by his side, and if he accepts another concubine into the mansion, he will not necessarily treat this child as his own.
As soon as he was born, he lost the protection of his mother, and his mother still carried the reputation of a wicked woman, so such a child is also guilty of living, so it is better not to come to this world at all.
He felt that he had made a somewhat painful but absolutely correct decision, but in the eyes of other insiders, it was even more confirmed that he was cold-blooded and his six relatives did not recognize him.
In the Buddha hall, Xie Linlang knelt in front of the Bodhisattva reverently, his eyes closed, his hands folded, and he muttered Buddhist scriptures.
Tinghe gently pushed the door in, knelt beside Xie Linlang, and after she opened her eyes after reciting the Buddhist scriptures, she whispered with a hint of schadenfreude: "Miss, Su Fengjiao is dead." ”
"Dead? How so? What happened? Xie Linlang was very surprised.
Although she has been under house arrest in the mansion and has never seen Su Fengjiao, she can't stand the chatter of people in the mansion, she still knows Su Fengjiao, and she also knows that she is about to be accepted into the mansion as a concubine.
Because he had already broken his heart for Xu Tianci, a man who died, he didn't have anything to do with her half-penny concubine, and he thought that she would not come forward when she said she was sick on the day of the concubine, so as not to be upset when she saw that person, but he didn't expect that this woman would be gone before she entered the door.
"Now it's spread all over the outside, saying that a few days ago, an old woman from a mountain village ran to the house where Su Fengjiao lived and scolded, saying that she didn't give her money, and then I didn't know who reported to the official, and they were all taken to Shuntian Mansion. You must never have imagined what happened later, Miss, the slave maid was shocked when she heard it! ”
"Don't sell it, just finish it all at once."
"Yes." Tinghe's expression became a little solemn, and his tone was also vicious, "It turns out that the little lady was not abducted because of playfulness, but Su Fengjiao deliberately sent her to an extremely remote mountain village, and spent money every year to let the old woman raise her, just to let her completely change from a dignified Shangshu daughter to a village girl!" ”
"What did you say?" Xie Linlang stood up in shock, her face full of disbelief, "Jiaojiao was not abducted by a kidnapper, but Su Fengjiao...... In other words, she has known Xu Tianci for a long time? ”
"Isn't that it? They've hooked up a long time ago! And the slave doesn't believe it, and my uncle doesn't know about it! Tinghe hurriedly got up to support her, with an angry expression on his face.
Xie Linlang's body was already weak, and this sudden blow made her almost faint, but she still endured it, took a deep breath, tried to stand firm, gritted her teeth and said, "You go on!" Don't miss a word! ”
"It is said that Su Fengjiao didn't admit it at first, and then the old woman said that she wanted to invite the little lady to testify, so the uncle personally went to the Xie Mansion to take the little lady over, and the slave didn't inquire about what happened later, only that Su Fengjiao confessed and was put in prison."
As she spoke, she deliberately lowered her voice and said sarcastically: "There is another thing, the slave maid doesn't know whether it's true or not, but it's rumored outside, that Lord Yin of the original mansion wanted to torture Su Fengjiao, but it turned out that she was pregnant, so it was inconvenient to torture." ”
"The kid is his?" Although it was a question sentence, Xie Linlang's tone was extremely affirmative.
"Well, as an important minister of the imperial court, it is really ...... to have an affair with a woman without a matchmaker" Tinghe had never studied, and he couldn't think of the right words for a while, so he simply took a sip.
"Then how did Su Fengjiao die?"
"Committing suicide by swallowing gold in prison, I guess I can't bear it, after all, the prison is very chaotic."
Xie Linlang frowned slightly, as if thinking about something, and then his brows relaxed, but a sneer hung on his mouth.
"I thought I knew him well, but I never thought he was more vicious than I thought."
Tinghe was stunned for a moment, and then said in surprise: "Miss, what do you mean?" "Not really, right? Tiger poison doesn't eat children, that's one corpse and two lives!
Xie Linlang sneered: "For the sake of fame and fortune, for his face, what can't he do?" ”
Tinghe felt more and more chilled, what this uncle did always refreshed her lower limit again and again, such a good young lady, how could she fall for him back then?
"Send a message to the family, and let Jiaojiao not come anyway." Xie Linlang said firmly.
Tinghe was a little unbearable, she knew best how Miss missed Miss Xiao, and hurriedly comforted: "Miss, you want to see Miss Xiao so much......"
"I really want to see Jiaojiao, I think about it so much, my heart hurts when I think about it, but this Xu Mansion is a Longtan tiger's den that eats people and doesn't spit out bones, how can I be willing to let her in?" Xie Linlang said and choked up.
The most sorry thing in her life is this daughter, if it weren't for her stupidity, how could she have such a terrible father; If it weren't for her innocence, how could she have suffered so much at such a young age......
It is enough for her to be trapped in the Xu Mansion alone, it is impossible to let Jiaojiao fall in, it is still safer in the Xie Mansion, there are so many people to protect her, even if Xu Tianci is favored by the emperor now, it is impossible to tear her face directly with the Xie Mansion.
Tinghe understood her concerns, sighed helplessly, nodded and left.
Xie Linlang knelt down again, folded his hands, looked at the solemn Bodhisattva, and muttered in his mouth: "Su Fengjiao, you and I have never met, although you have done something wrong and harmed my Jiaojiao, but you have already borne the consequences, I only hope that if you are still a woman in the next life, remember to keep your eyes open, don't choose the wrong person again, Amitabha Buddha ......"
On the other side, in the deep alley at the back door of Qingxin Fang, a young girl was running desperately.
Her expression was hasty, and her eyes were full of fear, as if she was hiding from an enemy of life and death.
Finally, her strength ran out, and as soon as her feet went limp, she fell to the ground.
Soon, two men who didn't look like good people chased after them, and the tall man rushed forward and kicked over, panting and scolding as he kicked: "You...... You little smash, run...... Running still ...... It's pretty fast...... Run! You're going to run away again! ”
The other fat one stood aside and panted desperately, and when his breath was smoother, he said, "Don't talk to her, take care of it quickly!" ”
The tall man nodded unhappily and kicked vigorously a few more times.
The girl was kicked out of a mouthful of blood, and after lying on the ground and shaking a few times, she stopped moving.
"Are you dead?" The fat man asked.
The tall man approached the girl, crouched down and sniffed, then turned his head and replied, "It's out of breath." ”
"Then quickly drag away the mass grave outside the city, and remember to scratch her face, so as not to be recognized."
"Don't worry, it's not the first time I've done this, I know it."
Just as the tall man picked up the breathless girl with a look of disgust and was about to leave, the back door of Qingxinfang opened, and Niu Haoran, Liu San and a few guys suddenly walked out.
As soon as he saw the scene in front of him, Niu Haoran suddenly felt that something was wrong, and said loudly: "Who are you?" ”
How could the two of them expect to be seen, the fat man reacted very quickly, and the girl ran away, after all, the tall man was carrying a person, and his movements were half a beat slower, and he was directly restrained by Liu San with those guys.
"I warn you, don't meddle! If you don't see anything at all, I promise I won't trouble you, or ......," the tall man threatened.
Niu Haoran was originally born in a gangster, and this set was not strange for a long time, and he could see at a glance the weakness and timidity in his eyes when he shouted, so he sneered: "In a place like the capital, you still dare to call yourself a master?" Who do you think you are? ”
Liu San immediately echoed: "Looking at the girl's appearance, you know that she was beaten, and she deliberately chose to commit murder in such a remote alley, she must not be a good person, so it is better to take him directly to see the official." ”
As soon as the tall man heard that he wanted to see the official, the whole person stiffened, and he couldn't see the light of day at all for these things he did, if he really went to see the official, not only would the lord not protect him, but he would be the first person to kill him.
"A few masters, the little ones have eyes and don't know Mount Tai, I'm wrong, I'm wrong, can't I? I have an 80-year-old mother and a baby waiting to be fed, and the whole family is pointing to me for food! I beg you to raise your noble hands and let me go, and I will be grateful in the future! He was immediately stunned, and howled so miserably, with tears and snot on his face.
Niu Haoran and Liu San glanced at each other, and then instructed the guy: "You send this girl to the doctor first, it's important to save people." After speaking, he looked at the tall man with a sneer in his eyes, "Since you don't want to go to the official, then tell the truth, if there is a lie, hehe, brother, although I haven't used a knife for many years, my hand is not alive." ”
The tall man could see that he was not deliberately scaring himself, and the people who came out to mix had an inexplicable sense of familiarity with their kind, and after struggling for a while, he nodded helplessly, and the whole person was like an eggplant that had been beaten by frost, completely stunned.
