Chapter 18 The Cover That Should Be Covered, the Cover That Should Be Covered
Xici Palace, the white purple roses swept the entire palace courtyard within the high walls, the vines climbed arrogantly and wantonly to the top of the window, along the red wall occupied most of the glazed eaves, and the petals all over the ground seemed to be after the heavy snow.
Outside the Haoqing Palace, there was a row of pale guards, dressed in vermilion uniforms, which were particularly conspicuous in the middle of the scattered purple and white.
"Haven't you found anyone yet?"
The windows in the hall were closed, and in the dim light stood a man, standing long and tall in the dim light, with a solemn body.
"That man should be a repeat offender, the tomb door and mechanism are not damaged, and no clues have been left." There was a sturdy man standing at the door of the hall, his voice was solemn, and his eyes were still worried about the Nine Emperor Suns who couldn't see their faces in the hall.
"No clues?" The voice of the Nine Emperor Sun was as cold as the winter wind of the wax moon, which made the hall a little colder!
The man at the door of the hall clasped his hands nervously.
"It's not completely nothing, when we stared at Xu Zhizhou yesterday, their house sent people to Qingyun Mountain near the night, but they drilled the trail when they entered the mountain, and we couldn't keep up because we were far away."
Jiang Ruoxie heard the word "Xu family", turned around slowly, the dark cyan dress shook over the lampstand, and the red and gold knot bells at the end of his hair shone slightly golden in the light.
He walked out slowly, from the dark place to the faint light, his eyebrows were trimmed, his eyes were cold, his jade nose was like a shaved face, his black hair was finely combed, his luxurious brocade clothes were loose, and his face was pale and pale.
"It's them again!" From a hundred years ago to the present, there is always the Xu family who can't get along with him.
The man at the gate of the temple paused when he heard this, and took out a letter from his bosom.
"The Xu family sent people to several money houses this morning, and they withdrew 5,000 taels together, all of which were obtained from empty or fake accounts, this is a few accounts for withdrawing money, I sent someone to check, and the money in each account is not less than 10,000 gold, which is comparable to the first-class rich man in Linjun City."
Jiang Ruoxie asked with difficulty, showing a hint of a smile.
"It's been two years, and I've finally shown my feet!" As he spoke, he pulled out his hand in his sleeve, took the letterhead and walked into the equally dim side hall on the side, "Change clothes, let's go to Xu's house for a walk!" ”
…………
Ming Jiu hurriedly found Weng Lao in the tea shop of the Lin family outside the city, dropped the five thousand taels of silver tickets, took the marriage contract letterhead he had deposited when he came, and hurried towards Xu's mansion.
At this time, Xu Xiaoshou was like an ant on a hot pot, and he was anxiously waiting for the spies to come back.
"Xiaoshou, I don't think you should be in a hurry, if the Zhou family wants to blame, they won't come over and beat us so sideways, five thousand taels of silver, the Zhou family won't put it in their eyes, Mr. Qu and Qi Guo Bus are good, they won't embarrass us, I still can't choose the Lin family in this matter."
"Yes, Mother is right! As long as I think of Yu'er marrying Lin Yueqing, my heart is more disgusting than eating a hundred flies! Mrs. Xu agreed.
Xu Xiaoshou sighed when he heard this, and circled around the hall in a tangled circle.
It took a while to stop.
He was just about to say something when an official rushed to the door.
"Master Zhizhou."
Xu Xiaoshou hurriedly ran out.
"What's the matter, where did the bandits get their things?" He tightened the person in front of him and said nervously.
"The subordinates saw him go to the Lin family's tea shop outside the city, and they took something there and came out!" The official wiped the sweat from his forehead, "I rushed back from the trail, master, what are we going to do this time or not?" ”
Xu Xiaoshou let go of his hand when he heard this, and couldn't help but take two steps back.
"In this way, the Zhou family and the Lin family must have joined forces, so ...... Then she Lin Yueqing must not be dead, but ...... But where did she go? If she gains the power of the Zhou family, how can she personally kill our Xu family and make a big fuss according to her character? How can you fake your hands? ”
He muttered, and before his thoughts could be cleared, Ming Jiu sounded the drum of grievances outside the Zhizhou Mansion again.
Xu Zhizhou came back to his senses, straightened his clothes and changed into a smile, and hurried out with the servant.
Ming Jiu was respectfully invited in, Old Man Xu was still sitting in the middle hall with a kind face, Mrs. Xu forced an embarrassed smile on her face, and asked the maid on the side to sit and watch tea for him.
Ming Jiu didn't pretend, stepped forward and sat on the upper left, pushed the teacup aside, and put the marriage contract on the table.
"The things are handed over, and the little ones will go first!" Saying that, Ming Jiu got up and was about to leave.
Xu Zhizhou hurriedly stopped him.
"This ...... This...... This....... He had been here for a long time, and he really couldn't think of how to answer this, so the old lady spoke on the side.
"This marriage contract, our Xu family will help collect it, if Miss Lin comes back, let her come and pick it up!"
Ming Jiu didn't expect the old lady of the Xu family to be so outspoken, and what she said was very interesting.
Obviously, they bought the marriage contract for the murder and paid for it, but how did they keep the marriage contract with kindness at this time, and let the eldest lady come to get the marriage contract when she returned home.
If the eldest lady doesn't come to get it, this marriage contract is also deliberately unwanted by the eldest lady, and Mrs. Xu doesn't want to lose at all, or is she overconfident, and she recognizes that the young lady will endure everything in order to marry into the Xu family!
As soon as Ming Jiu was about to pretend that he didn't understand, the words were still in his mouth, and Old Madam Xu spoke again.
"The five thousand taels of silver is when our Xu Mansion honors the little brother, I know that you don't have the evidence to buy the murderer, if you want to investigate it, it is also our Xu family to investigate your Zhou family and the Lin family to conspire to harm our Xu family, but Zhou Qinggong is a hero admired by our royal son, and our Xu family doesn't want to tear up your face, you received the money, you should cover it up, don't go into the ears of the old man!"
