Chapter 4: Fools

"Min Nu, drive the carriage faster."

"Yes."

The punishment of the four movements, the half-life pill, tsk tsk, the senior sister is really going to do it!

He can't wait to see his senior sister a little bit, I don't know what my senior sister is doing at this moment, is she killing or torturing people?

On the streets of Kyoto, a government official wearing a top hat and a gray and blue background is walking briskly. His name is Qu Gui, he is a native of Kyoto, and he usually does small jobs to get by. Today, he got a warrant from his immediate boss, Lu Tou, and took the paperwork to reclaim a house.

Unfortunately, it is Prime Minister Xu An's mansion. When the yamen sent people to sort out the things before, they never found the title deed. The official family plans to wait for the land deed to be sold cheaply, after all, the prime minister's family will all die overnight, and it is inevitable that he will have a bad reputation. It just so happened that the official family couldn't find a buyer for a while, so they sent someone to put a seal on the Xu Mansion for a while, and then sell it after the name of the murderer.

As soon as this job came, no one was willing to take it, and then, it fell on him!

Qu Gui looked up at the sky, and couldn't help but speed up his pace, he had to paste the paperwork at three o'clock in the afternoon.

The Prime Minister's Mansion was neither close nor far from the Yamen, and when Qu Gui arrived, it was not far from three o'clock in the afternoon. Simply, he didn't rest, he directly smeared rice milk on the gate of Xu's mansion, and was about to paste the official document and seal when he heard a voice shouting at him: "Stop!" ”

Qu Gui turned his head and waited to see the person who came, he almost scared off the official documents and seals in his hand, he hurriedly saluted and said: "I've seen the adult, what is the matter with the adult stopping the villain?" ”

Xu Ping saw the seal in Qu Gui's hand at a glance, and suddenly understood the meaning of this person in his heart.

"You were ordered to come and take back the mansion?"

"Yes."

"If you go back and give back to Lord Chang, you will say that this mansion has been sold to someone else, and there is no need to affix the seal."

"Yes, yes, little retirement." Qu Gui hunched his waist, stepped back quickly, and saw two carriages parked in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion at some point, and a woman wearing a beautiful Qingyun brocade Confucian skirt stood next to the carriage.

"Miss Xu, this matter is settled......

Qu Gui returned to the yamen and reported what he saw and heard in the Prime Minister's Mansion in front of Lu Tou one by one, Lu Tou was also stunned when he heard it, and hurriedly replied to the top, and soon knew the reason.

It turned out that it was a respected elder in the Xu clan who took a fancy to Prime Minister Xu's mansion. Coincidentally, Prime Minister Xu An's surviving young daughter returned from mourning, and she couldn't live in such a big mansion alone, so she sold the mansion to the elder at a low price.

The lord above the yamen had just negotiated with the elder, and Qu Gui was reprimanded by Lord Xu Ping, which led to the previous scene.

"Do you guess how many taels of silver did Miss Xu sell the mansion to Mr. Xu Chuan?" The head of the Yamen ear room pretended to be a mysterious way.

The officials around him did not speak, and when Lu Tou stretched out a finger, someone immediately speculated: "One thousand taels!?" ”

Lu Tou glanced at the man and said dissatisfiedly: "Although the mansion is unlucky, it will not be so worthless." It's not like you didn't see how magnificent the mansion was when you searched for the title deed before. ”

At this time, a clever person said: "I think it will cost tens of thousands of taels!" ”

Lu Tou gave him an appreciative look, then looked at another somewhat elderly servant and said, "Old Li Tou, you have been mixed in the realm of Kyoto for some years, tell me how much this mansion should be worth." ”

Everyone looked at Lao Li Tou, Lao Li Tou smacked his lips and said eloquently: "Do you know how much it cost Prime Minister Xu Cheng to sell this mansion back then?" ”

Before everyone could speak, Lao Li Tou seemed to sigh and said, "It cost 24,000 taels of silver!" ”

Everyone gasped.

"At that time, the prices were not as good as they were now. In addition, there are things given by the emperor in it...... Alas! Priceless! ”

"But Miss Xu sold the mansion for two thousand taels when she was born." Lu Tou said with a little sarcasm, and stretched out two fingers to compare in front of everyone.

Two thousand taels? I'm afraid that I don't even have a fraction of Prime Minister Xu Cheng's mansion to buy! Everyone was silent, and suddenly someone said, "Then Miss Xu is afraid that she is a fool!" ”

The rest of the crowd was stunned, who said it wasn't?

Suddenly, a small official broke in, panting and said: "Lu Tou, there was a murder in a nearby Qingshui River, which alarmed many adults, Lu Tou and everyone should hurry up!" ”

Everyone was shocked, and Lao Li shouted at the little official: "Quick! Lead the way! ”

Lu Tou also reacted, picked up the matching knife on the table, and shouted: "Go!" ”

Rewind time an hour ago—

In a trellis full of strange flowers and hanging from different grasses, a woman in a light blue-blue full-breasted skirt and a light blue-blue veil is carefully trimming the branches and leaves.

Behind her stood a woman with a beautiful face in a white and silver-threaded half-arm-length skirt. This woman is the maid noon.

And the masked woman who was busy in front of her was Xu Qing.

A gray figure suddenly appeared, half-knelt in front of Xu Qing and said, "Lord, the fifth prince has arrived in Kyoto." The third prince made a move, and the two seemed to be about to meet. In addition, the people of the third prince contacted our informant with a code. After speaking, he took out a three-and-a-half-inch letter bucket and presented it to Xu Qing.

Xu Qing opened it and took a closer look, raised his eyes to see that the man in front of him who was as cold as ice suddenly stopped lowering his voice, and said softly: "Yeyu, I allow you to enter the third layer of sealing training." ”

The lowered eyes under the mask of the night suddenly raised, and he looked at Xu Qing in a daze, with endless fanaticism in his peach blossom eyes.

Xu Qing looked at Ye Qi's coldness, and was a little helpless for a while, no matter how high Ye Qi's martial arts were, he was still a child after all!

"Remember, come back alive." Xu Qing reminded Yeyu of a word, turned around and left with Wuyu, leaving Yeyu alone to ponder in place.

In the carriage, Xu Qing closed his eyes and asked in a clear voice: "Wu Yu, shouldn't I let Ye Yu go?" ”

Wu Yu said with a rare smile: "Master, although Ye Yu is the youngest among us, his talent is rare, and he always has to come this far." ”

Xu Qingshu opened his eyes, frowned, turned his head to Wu Zhen and asked, "Have you ever been crazy about the water?" ”

Wu Yu put away his smile and nodded with a straight face: "He will be sober today." ”

"Throw Tang Jiyi out." Xu Qing said coldly.

Wu Yu instantly understood what Xu Qing meant, and said in a muffled voice: "Yes." The slave and maid will do it. ”

The white shadow flashed in the sky above Kyoto, and when the white shadow disappeared into a gorgeous private room, a hoarse voice said, "Min, go check!" ”

"Yes."

The black shadow flashed, followed by the white shadow.

At the same time, in the Thirteen Princes' Mansion, Ling Tianlin looked at the white shadow thoughtfully, "Xiao, go and take a look." ”

"Yes."
