Chapter 262: Undercurrent
Second Update......
~~~~
"Brother Xian ......is angry," Ruan Yu said with a smile, "His Royal Highness is also considering the overall situation, Miss Liu was given the title of first-class perfumer, and her reputation and Master Gu's stunts are like a tiger......
"But ......"
However, his Huangpu family is also famous, especially the incense products that have exclusively operated Baiye Fang in the past year, and their status in the incense industry should not be underestimated.
What's more, once Gu Qin is handed over, his cooperation with Kuroki will come to naught!
Seeing that the position of the head of the perfume world passed by him, Huang Puyu's face was quite calm, and he already hated the British King Ruan Yu in his heart.
For a moment, he wanted to abandon the King of England and leave it alone.
Mu Wanqiu didn't know that she suddenly wanted Mo Xue to come to Huangpu Yu to cooperate, originally she just wanted him to hold Gu Qin firmly, balance the forces of Liu, Li, and Huangpu, and finally form a three-point situation in the fragrance world.
"Brother Huangpu can ......rest assured" Seeing that his face was full of unwillingness, Ruan Yu comforted, "His Royal Highness's purpose is to bring down the Li family as soon as possible, and Master Liu also promised that after the Li family is overthrown, the Li family's market will still be divided equally between the two families, and the Liu family will never take up any more points!" β
That's a good thing to say!
With the reputation of Yuci and Gu Qin's stunts, I am afraid that after the Li family is brought down, his family surnamed Liu will be the only one, what capital does the Huangpu family have to compete with the Liu family?
Unfair, and unable to speak, Huangpu Yu sat there silent for a long time.
"Since His Royal Highness the King of England has spoken, Yu'er will give Master Gu to the Liu family......" Seeing Ruan Yu looking over, Huangpu Yu's father said.
Huangpu Yu's hand was tightly clenched into a fist.
For a long time, he nodded slowly, "...... The son sent Master Gu out of Huangpu Mansion! β
β¦β¦
As soon as it was dawn, a black carriage quietly drove out of the side gate of Huangpu Mansion. In the silence of dawn, the sound of squeaking wheels is particularly clear.
Hearing the voice, the two sleeping dazed black-clothed people in the alley suddenly stirred, "Look, someone from Huangpu Mansion has come out, it must be Master Gu...... one of them said in a low voice; The other blinked his sleepy eyes and stood up waitingly, "You're staring." I'm going to report the news......" As soon as he jumped up, the black figure instantly disappeared in the fog of dawn.
The man in black who stayed in place had already cleaned up his body and quietly followed him, but he didn't notice it. Not far away, several figures flew out, and they were instantly submerged in the morning light.
I didn't know that I had already been targeted by several people, the coachman drove the carriage unhurriedly, and he couldn't see the shadow of Huangpu Mansion, so he grabbed the reins, "...... the " turned around and asked, "Master, shall we go directly to Liufu?" β
After a long time, a shrill voice came from the carriage. ββ¦β¦ No, go to the Western Suburbs. β
For some reason, it was only a soft voice, but the coachman felt a chill all over his body, eerie, and suddenly with a hellish hatred and resentment, which made him shiver. I obviously felt that something was wrong in my heart, but I didn't dare to say more, and waved my horsewhip to "drive ......"
With a puff of smoke, the carriage headed straight for the western suburbs.
The morning dew is gone, the sun is rising, the cold streets are gradually lively, and people have started a busy and tiring day again. Almost suddenly, a sky-high fire broke out in the western suburbs of Daye, dyeing half of the sky in the western city rose, like a bloodthirsty remnant sun......
"God, whose house is on fire......" People stopped to watch, and there were good believers. It has already poured into the western suburbs.
β¦β¦
"Miss, Miss......" Mo Xue pushed open the door of the perfume room.
"How many times have you said it, but you haven't been stable at all...... "Without raising her head, Mu Wanqiu was seriously recording a set of experimental data that had just come out.
Mo Xue stuck out her tongue, "Master Gu is dead!" β
ββ¦β¦ Master Gu died? Repeating a sentence, Mu Wanqiu's body suddenly shook, and the pen in his hand almost fell to the ground, dragging out a long ink blot, which cost most of the paper, "...... What did you say? β
"Mademoiselle carefully soiled her clothes." Catching the pen, Mo Xue quickly hugged Mu Wanqiu to the side with her other hand, "Master Gu is ......in her western suburbs courtyard" helped Mu Wanqiu sit down on another chair, Mo Xue turned around and took a rag to wipe the ink on the table.
ββ¦β¦ How so? Thinking of Gu Qin in her previous life, Mu Wanqiu subconsciously shook her head.
How could she commit suicide when she was so greedy for life and afraid of death?
"It's true...... Mo Xue nodded, "I'm afraid that the rumors are false, the slave maid personally followed, and the five corpses in the courtyard were burned to charcoal......"
ββ¦β¦ Are you right? Mu Wanqiu had already calmed down, she didn't believe that Gu Qin would die so easily.
"The corpse was burned beyond recognition, it is the final ......conclusion of the government after the examination," Mo Xue said, "The neighbors saw Master Gu enter the courtyard with their own eyes, but it caught fire in an hour, and they all said that she was revealed for betraying the secret recipe, and she had no face to face the world to cause fire**......" sighed, "It's a pity ......"
In any case, Gu Qin is a master of a generation after all, and he has been in the perfume industry for more than 20 years, almost leading an era, and he was once so dazzling, but he fell like this, even if he hated her to the bone, Mo Xue also felt a sense of kinship.
Feeling that the room was surprisingly quiet, Mo Xue raised her head, only to find that Mu Wanqiu's face was pale.
ββ¦β¦ What's wrong with Miss? β
ββ¦β¦ It's nothing. β
I don't know why, after hearing the news, Mu Wanqiu faintly felt a strong uneasiness in her heart, as if the calm lake seemed to be calm, but there was an undercurrent growing wildly under the water, which made people tremble.
"It's okay this time, Miss doesn't have to worry about the Li family anymore......" Mo Xue said, seeing Mu Wanqiu get up and walk out, she hurriedly chased after her and asked, "...... Where is Miss going? β
ββ¦β¦ Go next door. β
As he spoke, Mu Wanqiu had come to the newly repaired verandah on the east wall, planted a lot of wisteria by the wall, the rich vines winded to the top of the corridor, like a coiling dragon, strong and simple, hanging like strings of purple flowers and wind chimes, suddenly a bay of purple waterfalls in the thick green bushes, it was actually a unique charm, I picked a wisteria flower and put it under my nose, a fresh aroma wafted into my nose, Mu Wanqiu said happily, "It's time to eat purple carrot cake......
Mo Xue said with a smile, "Ready-made wisteria flowers, Miss wants to eat them, and the slave will let the back kitchen make them for you today." β
"Hmm......" Mu Wanqiu nodded, "Ming'er let those children go out with the agarwood orchid to pick flowers......"
"Defloration?" Mo Xue was stunned, "...... Miss wants to make floral extract again? β
Without words, Mu Wanqiu bypassed the verandah and came to the back of the vine, but it turned out that behind the vine was a small door, the faΓ§ade and the wall were of the same color, and a small lock with a delicate design was lying on the wall like a gecko, and if you didn't look carefully, you couldn't find it at all.
Inside the small door is the treatment room secretly set up by Li Jun.
Mu Wanqiu took out the key from the sleeve cage, opened the small lock with a bang, pushed the door and walked in.
Mo Xue raised her feet and followed.
Seeing Mu Wanqiu coming in, the masters led by Ran Bing stopped what they were doing one after another, and stepped forward to salute, "Master Bai ......
"Well......" summoned everyone over, Mu Wanqiu cleared her throat, "The eldest prince has a letter, asking everyone to stop what they are doing for the time being and make incense with me......"
When did Li Jun get the letter? How could she not know?
Her lips moved, Mo Xue looked at Mu Wanqiu strangely, seeing that she had a straight face, she suddenly understood that she was fooling everyone, and her heart suddenly rose to her throat, and she looked at everyone with bated breath.
Her face was calm and calm, Mu Wanqiu's heart was also pounding, she was too close to Ruan Yu Huangpu Yu during this time, in the hearts of the Li family, she probably had betrayed the Li family, she was so under the banner of Li Jun to trick everyone into working for her, once it reached the ears of Master Li, I was afraid that she would be determined to be mischievous.
She bet that Master Li might not have the energy to take care of this.
What Mu Wanqiu didn't know was that in fact, Master Li didn't know that the Li family had such a secret stake at all, this place was purely opened by Li Jun for her, and the only instruction he gave here when he left this time was: "The people here don't need to obey the Li family's arrangement, their only master is Master Bai." β
This is also the worst plan he made for himself to go to Chen Guoxing to assassinate Prince Lie, once he misses and dies in a foreign country, this place will belong to Mu Wanqiu, Heimu has no background, under the watchful eye of the British King Liu family, she may not be able to keep Bai Yefang and those casinos, but this dark pile can allow her to engage in her favorite fragrance business for the rest of her life, and she will have no worries about food and clothing.
There were Li Jun's orders, but these people didn't think about it, and replied in unison, "Everything must be according to Master Bai's orders......
Seeing that there was no trace of suspicion on everyone's faces, Mu Wanqiu breathed a long sigh of relief and secretly said, "Amitabha, I hope these preparations are not superfluous, and they can earn me a lot of money......
β¦β¦
ββ¦β¦ That person is indeed Gu Qin? Master Li asked again.
Shadow Xie nodded, "As soon as I got out of the gate of Huangpu Mansion, the slave caught up and confessed, it was indeed Master Gu who was kicked out, and the slave tracked all the way to do it at a convenient time, but who knew that she was delayed by a group of black-clothed people at the city gate, and when they got rid of them and found Master Gu's courtyard, she had been killed and burned beyond recognition......"
Old Man Li regularly tapped the table with his five fingers, "It's so good, why did the Huangpu family kick Gu Qin out?" β
Xie Yi shook his head.
"You go down...... Master Li waved his hand, "Continue to monitor the movements of the Liu family and the Huangpu family......
Xie Yi retreated.
Li Qing, who had been guarding the side and had not spoken, opened his mouth and asked, "Master Gu is dead, do you still want to invite Master Bai back?" β
"Let's wait and see...... "Let's restore all the incense that was discontinued before the eldest prince left." β
"Yes......" Li Qing replied and walked out quickly.
"Wait......" When he was about to arrive at the door, he was stopped by Master Li again, he thought for a while, "Let's cut the production by half for the time being......" He muttered to himself, "Gu Qin died like this, I always feel that this is a little uns......teady" (to be continued.
