Chapter 378: Assassin
"Oops! Which official is looking for a slave? ”
As soon as she finished speaking, the people also came to the wing where Shen Xianhe was, and looking at the two people in the house, she quickly put away her frivolous appearance and officially saluted Shen Xianhe.
"Aren't those girls out there to my child's liking? I don't know what kind of girl Childe likes? ”
Shen Xianhe turned his head and gestured to Qiao He behind him, and Qiao He took out a few silver tickets of one thousand taels from his arms and threw them on the table.
Only then did Shen Xianhe speak.
"I want those old and decrepit girls in your building, the longer you stay here, the better, go and bring them all, these are yours, if they serve well, then Ben Gongzi will be rewarded."
The old bustard's eyes lit up, she had been in this flower building for so many years, and she had never seen a man throw so much silver at once, so she quickly took the silver ticket on the table back into her arms, and promised Shen Xianhe with an oath.
"Don't worry, Childe, I will definitely meet Childe's preferences, and please wait a while, they will come soon."
After getting Shen Xianhe's permission, the boss happily asked people to bring all the old and decrepit girls in the building, and even the servants did not let go, and all of them were sent into Shen Xianhe's wing.
Looking at the room full of all kinds of old women, Shen Xianhe raised his eyebrows and asked the old bustard who was waiting on the side.
"Is everyone here?"
The old bustard quickly replied.
"Returning to Gongzi, everyone who meets the requirements is here."
Shen Xianhe nodded.
"Okay, you go out first."
"Okay, son, then the slave family will go out first, if you need anything, you just call the slave family."
After the old bustard left, Shen Xianhe asked the old women standing in a row.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I invite you here today not for anything but to inquire about something, so, first of all, let me ask you, which of the girls are still here after the fire?"
After hearing Shen Xianhe's words, those old women, you look at me, I look at yours, and then shook their heads blankly.
Seeing the people present shaking their heads, Shen Xianhe was a little discouraged, and was about to open his mouth to ask Qiao He to give them the silver to retreat, when an old female voice came out of the crowd.
"Childe, I am, I've been in this place for decades, and I've been here since I was lucky enough to escape from that fire."
Hearing this, Shen Xianhe was overjoyed, and after asking Qiao He to distribute the silver to those people and withdraw, she helped the old woman to the table, and then asked.
"Granny, you just said that you stayed here before that fire, so what happened here? Surely you know all about it? ”
"Yes, I have been here since I was twelve years old, from a maid to the top brand, and then I was driven away as the next of other girls because of old color, until I survived until now, I know everything that happens here."
Speaking of the past, the old woman's eyes exuded a look of nostalgia.
Shen Xianhe's heart moved, and he continued to speak.
"Since you know everything, do you remember the mother and son who came here from the Huai'an Hou Mansion? Do you know them? ”
Hearing Shen Xianhe mention Chen Han's mother and son, the old woman showed a frightened look, and her body couldn't stop shaking.
"I don't know, I don't know anything...... I don't really know anything ....... ”
Shen Xianhe glanced at Qiao He, Qiao He understood what she meant, strode to the old woman's side, took out a handful of silver tickets of one thousand taels from his arms, and put it in her hand.
"Old woman, tell us what you know, these silver tickets are yours, and we will help you get out of here and send you to a place where you can live out of your old age without worrying about food and clothing."
After hearing Qiao He's words, the old woman hurriedly put away the silver ticket in her hand, and then spoke.
"When there was no fire, I was in the cardamom years, the scenery was infinitely good, it was the top brand in the building, the dignitaries in the capital in order to see me, did not hesitate to spend a lot of money for me, that is, at that time, a pair of mother and son suddenly came to the building, because the married woman fell into the place is not welcomed, especially the woman from a large family, at that time the woman said that she was the concubine of Huai'an Hou, but no one believed it, and secretly bullied the mother and son, at that time I saw that the mother and son were really pitiful, I helped them some openly and secretly, but the good times didn't last long, I had a serious illness, although he was later cured, but his appearance has not been able to return to the past, such a blow is unbearable for me, the people in the building are some power eyes, at that time I was also a lot of exclusion, the pair of mother and son in order to repay my help, but also helped me a lot in the open and secret, and the mother and son slowly talked, from the chat, I knew that the woman was really the concubine of the Marquis of Huai'an, because she was wronged to kill the eldest lady, so she was driven out, this is the ...... that came here. ”
Hearing this, Shen Xianhe couldn't help but interrupt.
Did the woman say that she was wronged by whom? And how was he wronged? ”
"It seems to have been said, it seems to be said that the eldest lady in the house is not treated by the lord and favors a concubine, and the concubine has long spied on the position of the eldest lady, so she instructed her to drug the eldest lady, saying that as soon as the eldest lady died, the concubine became the eldest lady, and she was promoted to Mrs. Ping.
Shen Xianhe lowered his eyes to hide his anger.
"And then?"
"She also said that after being kicked out, she went to find the concubine, but those concubines not only did not admit it, but also sarcastically remarked her, and told her that all this was her plan, and the purpose was very simple, that is, to use her hand to get rid of the eldest lady and solve her, it was a plan to kill two birds with one stone, and also cut off all her back roads, forcing her into a desperate situation and coming here."
Qiao He looked at Shen Xianhe and saw that although she was calm on the surface, her hand on the table was clenched into a fist.
"The life of the mother and son was very difficult, especially her son, because he was young, he was often abused by those people, I watched the child become more and more silent day by day, until later, a strange man came to the building, saying that the child's bones were strange, and he taught the child what he had learned all his life, that is, at that time, the woman suddenly died violently, saying that it was a violent death, but everyone knows that she was beaten to death by a benefactor, and later, after the child knew about it, he dismantled the benefactor into eight pieces, And set fire to the building, and I escaped by going to the pharmacy that day because of some cold, and then stayed here and never saw the child again. ”
After the mother-in-law finished speaking, Shen Xianhe was silent, and after a long time, he spoke.
"As I said just now, you will take you out of here if you tell the truth, and then find you a place where you can live without food and clothing for the rest of your life, so you can leave with us."
"Thank you, Childe, thank you."
The mother-in-law was excited, and kowtowed to Shen Xianhe with great gratitude.
Shen Xianhe got up and instructed Qiao He as he went downstairs.
"You take care of it, I'll wait for you downstairs."
After saying that, the person also disappeared outside the door.
When he came to the street, Shen Xianhe spit out the evil breath in his heart, although he had long known that his biological mother's death was not simple, but he didn't expect it to be so unbearable, not because of Gu Junhe's mother's methods, but because of Huai'anhou.
The reason why she was resentful was that such a clumsy plan would not be seen by the dignified Huai'an Hou.
Shen Xianhe was immersed in his thoughts, unable to extricate himself for a long time, and at this time, a few assassins rushed out of nowhere, and slaughtered her fiercely.
And immersed in her thoughts, she didn't notice the abnormalities around her at all, and when the sound of the sword sounded in her ears, she came back to her senses, and as soon as she raised her head, she was pulled behind by Huo Biao, and the sword that originally stabbed her was stabbed on Huo Biao's arm.
"Huo Biao......."
Shen Xianhe screamed.
Huo Biao raised his other hand disappreciatively, and the assassin who had injured him fell in front of them.
"I'm fine, follow me."
In this way, Huo Biao was protecting Shen Xianhe while fighting with those assassins, and at this time, Qiao He, who had brought the mother-in-law down, saw this scene and immediately joined the battle.
Soon, the Assassins were killed by them.
Qiao He hurriedly walked to Shen Xianhe's side and asked anxiously.
"Ma'am, are you alright?"
Shen Xianhe shook his head.
Hurriedly took two steps forward to check Huo Biao's injuries.
"Are you seriously injured?"
Huo Biao dodged Shen Xianhe's inspection and smiled comfortingly.
"I'm fine, just a little injury, it's not in the way, it's just you, are you hurt?"
Shen Xianhe shook his head guiltily.
"I'm fine, thank you for saving me, but why are you here?"
Huo Biao hid the sadness in his heart and tried to pretend that nothing happened.
"I just came out of the restaurant, about to go home, I saw that the person standing here looked like you, so I came to take a look, I didn't expect it to be you, before I could speak, I saw the assassin rushing over, but, what's wrong with you? Why is the response so sluggish? Those assassins almost hurt you, and you didn't react. ”
Huo Biao's tone was a little anxious because what happened just now was too thrilling, he didn't dare to imagine that if he hadn't followed her in secret, those assassins would have succeeded.
