Chapter 43: Falling Short
Xu Qinghuan narrowed his eyes slightly.
The fleeting figure she saw in her teahouse resurfaced in her mind.
It was him, he must have been dressed up in disguise at the time, and she didn't recognize it for a while.
It's him who doesn't know, she doesn't want to mention the adulterer.
Although he seemed to have nothing to do with Feng Xiang in his previous life, after she saw Zhang Zhenren, she began to have suspicions, and she wanted to confirm her guess.
So after catching Master Xu San and finding this tax silver, she will come here, and if Zhang Zhenren makes a move, she will be caught.
Everything was calculated, but he was missing.
She was alert because of everything in her past life.
And what is he for?
The lush top of the mountain, standing there, just enough to see the situation on the entire official road.
She set up a large net here, but he stood on a high place, taking in her every move.
Song Chengxuan's methods are ruthless and strong, killing countless people, and those who calculate him will inevitably die well.
That year, he gained power in the court, and he became the object of everyone's wooing, and the queen mother's mother, the He family, and the eldest princess wanted to pull him as a fast son-in-law of Chenglong.
As a result, the two sides fought in private, and both suffered a lot of losses.
Finally made trouble with the emperor, and the emperor summoned Song Chengxuan to ask what he meant.
Above the court, he replied very simply: "Huan fat and thin, the ministers want everything, but please ask the emperor to remove the minister's military power first, so that the minister will not suffer from the war."
Otherwise, the minister would not have time to sleep with them. ”
The He family and the eldest princess were humiliated, but both sides were convinced that it was the other party who pressed step by step to get the result they have today, and the He family was finally caught by the royal family, and the power was not as good as before, the queen mother was deeply affected, Song Chengxuan saw the opportunity and constrained Cining Palace.
She watched a good show on the side, and watched the Queen Mother's expression change again and again.
Song Chengxuan stood outside the curtain tent, greeting the Queen Mother, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth.
A person who even uses his own marriage is really doing everything to achieve his goals.
If it is said that the person who harmed her father back then and used Master Xu San was Song Chengxuan, she would think it was reasonable.
The enemy in his previous life may be in front of him, and he thinks that she has already lost this game, and she will not let him feel easy.
"Wu Qian always wants to take it away, and the county lord doesn't have to argue anymore."
Hearing Miss Xu's voice, the county couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
Wu Qian always turned his head along with the voice, and at some point, the slender figure had already come to the horse, with a wave of the blade in his hand, he cut a knot, and gently tugged it, the rope that bound the silver box was immediately loosened, and the box also fell to the ground, and then she tidied up her clothes, slowly sat on the box, and raised her face to look at him.
Mr. Wu Qian couldn't help but show surprise, his eyelids couldn't help jumping, he suddenly felt that he should really test the good luck before going out today.
"How can such a big case be handled with the manpower of the government alone," Xu Qinghuan said slowly, "Thanks to Lord Wu here." ”
Mr. Wu Qian's bad feeling was swept away, and there was a little more smile in his eyes.
The county man's face was even more ugly.
Xu Qinghuan continued: "Lord Wu should know about the battle of Fengxiang more than ten years ago, right? This is the person who colluded with the traitor Zhao Chong, the tax silver and treasures hidden, this matter is not trivial, the entire Fengxiang Mansion made every effort to catch the suspect, but ......"
The county man kept nodding his head on the side.
If Feng Xiao had a handful of millet in his hand, he would definitely sprinkle it in front of the county.
Wu Qian couldn't help but ask: "It's just what?" ”
Xu Qinghuan sighed: "I'm afraid there are still more parties on the run, and we have set up an ambush here, just to wipe them all out, so that we can ...... Finally found the hiding place of the rest of the party, but unfortunately we were understaffed, and we were at a loss for this matter, but I didn't expect Mr. Qian to bump into it. ”
Mr. Wu Qian couldn't help but touch his nose, and always felt that the word "bump" made him feel a little painful, and Miss Xu's ink-like eyes fell on him.
"The adults are strong and the horses are definitely able to capture the enemy in one fell swoop," Xu Qinghuan's voice was clear, "This silver is placed here, no one will move half a minute before the adults return, we will wait for the good news of the adults." ”
Wu Qian's face tightened: "What you said about Yu Dang ......"
Xu Qinghuan nodded: "It is the responsibility of the government to arrest the murderer, and to catch the traitor, you should rely on the local guard." ”
The county Cheng's eyes lit up, what the eldest lady of the Marquis of Anyi Mansion said was not wrong at all, why didn't he think of this, the killing of traitors was not under their control, and he couldn't help but be grateful to Miss Xu.
"Lord County Cheng," Xu Qinghuan said, "I bother you to bring someone to follow President Wu Qian to arrest the rest of the party." ”
Mr. Wu Qian only felt that his lips were a little dry: "Where are the remnants of the party you said?" ”
Xu Qinghuan raised his hand and pointed to the mountain not far away: "Where can you overlook this official road, those people must be hiding here." ”
Wu Qian was slightly stunned.
"If you delay any longer, I'm afraid people will run away, Wu Qian can rest assured, my calculation is correct, otherwise I won't get this silver."
"Yes, yes," the county man chimed in, "Let's go, let's go and arrest someone." ”
The yacha has been assembled and followed the county to the mountain, if they don't do it, I'm afraid they will be held responsible in the future, Wu Qian always ordered in a deep voice: "Untie the box first, and we will follow the yacha to get people." ”
……
Seeing the yacha and a team of men and horses leaning towards this side.
Zhang Zhenren couldn't help but say: "This girl actually guessed that we are here." ”
Song Chengxuan said: "She already knew, but she was careless." He didn't care what the face peeking out of the teahouse looked like, he only vaguely remembered an outline, but he could see those eyes clearly.
Zhang Zhenren was a little surprised.
Song Chengxuan said: "When I see Wu Quan in a while, let him go to Minzhou to guard the pass, as long as he can win this battle and break the deadlock, the general army of Fengxiang will not dare to slack off." ”
Zhang Zhenren: "Then this silver ......"
Song Chengxuan said: "It takes more than a month to close the case, and Wu Quan won the battle, so he can naturally ask for silver." ”
Wu Quan has money.
"What about me?" Zhang Zhenren wanted to cry a little, "I promised everyone that they would buy a big fat pig......"
"You've lost." Song Chengxuan turned over and got on the horse.
……
Mr. Wu Qian led people away, and Xu Qinghuan stood up and looked at the rest of the yacha: "Do you want to wait for Mr. Wu Qian to come back and get the silver?" ”
All the people woke up like a dream and immediately loaded the silver into the car.
"Miss, can they catch someone?" Feng Xiao heard that there would be many delicious foods at the celebration banquet of the imperial court.
"Naturally...... Can't catch it. ”
If Song Chengxuan was really there, he must have already figured out how to get out, and he wouldn't be so easily planted in her hands.
Xu Qinghuan got on the horse and walked forward.
The money was first sent to the nearest yamen in the city.
Seeing that the last box of silver was moved into the yamen, Mr. Wu Qian wiped the sweat on his forehead and looked at Xu Qinghuan with a frown: "Didn't the eldest lady say that she would wait for us to come back?" ”
"If I say anything casually, I naturally don't count." Xu Qinghuan said a word, bent down and got into the carriage.
Empty left a group of people resentful.
Master Xu San was escorted to Fengxiang, and she also had to go back to explain everything to Lord Wang Yun.
The carriage galloped down the street, and a gust of wind blew, and the curtain of the carriage jumped gently.
Xu Qinghuan saw a face that was distinctly unfamiliar, but it made her feel familiar.
"Is it the eldest lady of the Anyi Hou Mansion?" A person outside the carriage asked, "The slave maid is the steward of the Marquis of Guangping, and there is something to give to the eldest lady." ”
