Zhang He listened carefully, and suddenly felt a little unstable in his heart.

There are not many people living in this inn, and he spent a lot of money in advance to ask the innkeeper not to accept other guests, could it be that the innkeeper didn't listen to him?

Listening to the words of those few people, it is clear that they are thieves and bandits, and on the way from Changzhou to the capital, it is not peaceful everywhere, if it is not for them to escort them all the way, it is impossible to say that Miss Xu has fallen into the hands of thieves.

The inn gradually quieted down, and even the shopkeeper who served the guests had already rested.

Zhang He pushed open the door and walked towards Miss Xu's house.

Naturally, you can't prepare a gift when meeting with a beauty, Zhang He picked up the brocade box in his hand and knocked on the door gently.

As early as when he entered the inn, he had already met the maid beside Miss Xu, and the generous maid nodded to him, clearly knowing what he meant, so he would inevitably answer the door.

Zhang He still has a lot of experience in the affairs of the wind and snow, and those that explicitly imply that he has long been proficient, and there will never be any problems.

When waiting for the door, Zhang He tidied up the robes on his body, he and Miss Xu officially met for the first time, and they had to have the demeanor of a son.

The door opened, and two large faces that looked like ordinary people squeezed out of the cracks.

"Who are you?" The maid's voice was crisp, "It's so late, is there anything wrong?" ”

"I am the uncle of the Zhang family in the capital." Zhang He reported his name.

The maid looked a little surprised: "Uncle Zhang? Excuse me...... You're knocking on the door......"

"I heard that the eldest lady of the Marquis of Anyi Mansion stayed in the inn," Zhang He patiently negotiated with the Xu family's maid, "Our two families are world friends, and we met here, so I thought about coming to visit." ”

Zhang He said as he looked into the room.

A vague fragrance came out of the room, and it was vaguely as if I saw a pink dress in the room.

"It's so late, I'm afraid it's not good," the maid refused, but opened the door completely, "Does Uncle Zhang have to come in?" ”

Zhang He smiled and nodded: "If it were ordinary, I wouldn't have come, but I heard that this city is not peaceful, and I am worried about Miss Xu...... If Miss Xu needs our Zhang family, she will definitely serve the eldest lady before and after the saddle. ”

"Since Uncle Zhang is so sincere," said the maid, "it will be our fault to stop you again." ”

Zhang He was even more happy in his heart, everything was as simple as he expected, he judged correctly, Miss Xu was not a polite woman.

A well-informed cabinet woman should sit in the boudoir, learn from the four books of the girl to be a female celebrity, and only after marrying into her husband's family can she marry her husband and teach her children in the future, but she is running around under the pretext of investigating the case, not wanting to meet more men, so that she can attach a good family business for herself, and now she can get what she wants.

Zhang He thought about it and walked into the room.

The woman who was in the room had disappeared without a trace, presumably hiding in the inner room.

Zhang He was a little unhappy, Miss Xu wanted to play too much, he had already done this, but she was still hiding, she really thought that she was a beautiful woman.

The maid of the Xu family brought a bowl of sweet soup.

Zhang He was overjoyed: "This is for me?" ”

The maid shook her head, her chubby face full of naivety: "No." ”

When he brought it to him and said that it was not for him to eat, who would believe it, obviously he wanted to refuse and welcome.

Zhang He took a bite of the sweet soup, there was an indescribable taste, fortunately, there were some soft and glutinous red bean paste, which was not unpalatable, and it couldn't live up to the beauty's mind, Zhang He ate this bowl of sweet soup.

At the moment when he put down the empty bowl, the maid of the Xu family couldn't help laughing.

Zhang He looked over: "Why are you laughing?" ”

The maid covered her face with a handkerchief: "I have never seen such a brave person as Uncle Zhang, who dares to eat anything, even I can't do it." ”

Zhang He didn't understand the meaning, knocked on the brocade box in his hand, and looked at the inner room: "You go and invite Miss Xu out." ”

His purpose for tonight has not been achieved.

"Okay." The maid replied very simply, and walked slowly to the back.

Zhang He listened carefully to the voice in the inner room, as if someone was talking, but the voice was too low for him to hear clearly, at first he was still interested, and slowly he became agitated, and couldn't help but get up and wander around the room.

I don't know how long it took, Zhang He felt a faint unhappiness in his stomach, and the person became even more anxious, and he couldn't care about anything else, and raised his feet and walked to the inner room.

It's just a lady of the Marquis of Anyi's mansion, and she actually took Qiao like this in front of him, and she had to let this Xu Qinghuan taste his methods for a while.

Thinking so, Zhang He opened the curtain of the inner room, and he was about to look into the room, only to feel that his eyes were immediately covered by a rag on his head, and then a stick fell on his shoulder.

There was a "bang", Zhang He was unprepared, and suddenly took the blow firmly, almost breathlessly in pain, and the bones in his shoulder seemed to crack.

Fang Cai's lust heart suddenly disappeared cleanly, turning into fright and fear.

This kind of encounter is far from what he thought before, but although he is a gentleman, he has also practiced boxing and kicking since he was a child, and he can't stand still when he encounters such a thing, and when he comes back to his senses, he immediately draws the soft sword on his waist, his hand just touched the hilt of the sword, his stomach hurts, and his whole body flies backwards.

Zhang He felt as if his internal organs were being squeezed together, rushing upward, and he was about to vomit out of his throat, he coughed dryly for a while, and shouted in fear: "Who is it?" …… Unexpectedly...... Dare...... Do it to me, we Zhang family ......"

"That's a lot to talk about." A hand reached out and lifted him up, and then fell out.

Zhang He felt his head and body hit the ground heavily, and suddenly felt dizzy in front of him, what the hell was going on, Zhang He couldn't figure out what he had encountered for a while.

The movement in the house startled the Zhang family guards outside, and the guards sensed that something was wrong, and pulled out the sharp blade on their waists and was about to step forward, but there was a person blocking in front of them.

The man, dressed in black and holding a sword in his arms, stood there expressionlessly.

The guards of the Zhang family were about to speak, but they heard the man say: "There are gangsters in the city who hurt people's lives, take people's money, and kidnap women's relatives. ”

The guards of the Zhang family heard the sound of the sound in the house, and they didn't care about talking to this person, so they wanted to push the person away, but they didn't expect that their hand stretched out but they pounced, and then their legs hurt, and the whole person fell to the ground.

The guards of the Zhang family only listened to the man and said coldly: "Do you still want to harm people from the inside and outside?" If you can't get in, he won't come out, and tomorrow morning, you will all be sent to the yamen, so that the people can have a good look at what you villains are. ”

Zhang He in the room didn't know what was going on, he just felt that his fists kept falling on him.

"Sneaking you around."

"What do you want to do secretly? This shameless bastard. ”

"Don't think that the master is a vegetarian, I have long seen that you have not been at ease all the way, a person like you who is doing evil, the master killed you to eliminate harm for the people."

Zhang He heard the voice, it was Xu Qing'an, that's right, it was Xu Qing'an.

The person who beat him turned out to be Xu Qing'an, so the Xu family deliberately designed to harm him, causing him to come late at night, and then treat him as a disciple to teach him a lesson.

He was fooled, Zhang He only felt that the blood rushed to his head, and he had a feeling of being fooled.

Isn't the Xu family afraid that the Zhang family will turn against them, and aren't they afraid that this family affair will not be able to get married? Unless, the Xu family has no intention of marrying the Zhang family at all, and the Xu family has such a list and is openly hostile to the Queen Mother.

Zhang He tried his best and said, "Xu Qing'an...... You...... Dare...... I'm going to...... Skinned you...... I'll kill you...... How dare you do this to me...... Don't regret it...... Future...... Don't come to beg us for ......."

"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable," a Daoist's voice sounded, "how can you kill in vain like this." ”

Zhang He suddenly felt that his eyes lit up, the cloth covering him was torn away, and then a lamp slowly moved in front of him, he couldn't see what was going on in the room, he could only see a Taoist lowered his head and showed a very meaningful expression: "This good man is poisonous to the bones, and he has died soon." ”

Zhang He stared at the man, only to see a look of compassion on the man's face, a pair of clear eyes slightly reddened, and then shook his head, as if feeling sad for him: "It's a pity at a young age." ”

As soon as the Taoist finished speaking, Zhang He felt a sharp pain spread outward from the deepest part of his body.

Could it be that he was poisoned?

Zhang He immediately remembered the bowl of sweet soup, was the Xu family going to kill him here?
