Chapter 173: Clues
As soon as Zhilan heard this, she knew that her brother's blood was boiling again, and she hurriedly stopped: "No, you can't go!" ”
"Why?"
Zhilan wanted to say that her younger brother was young and reckless, and she was afraid that it would ruin a big thing, but when the words came to her mouth, she swallowed it back and changed her words: "If my father and mother knew, I would never agree to this matter, so you better stay at home." ”
Guan Feng frowned and retorted: "Sister, when did you become so timid and cowardly? When you were in the capital, you did so many things, why didn't you ask your father and mother first? ”
Zhilan was immediately choked up by the question, unable to answer.
Immediately after that, Guan Feng said: "This time it's to save people, if my father knows about it, he will definitely not object." Besides, it was not an ordinary person who was saved this time, but Brother Feng's father, Pepsi filial piety comes first, sister, don't you understand this truth? ”
"But ......" Zhilan's face was already flushed. Of course she understood those truths, but he was her own brother, a younger brother who was only eleven years old. Those bandits, who knows what kind of people they are? If something happens, how can she explain it to her parents? But she couldn't say these words, in the face of those so-called big truths, she would only show that she was too selfish when she said this.
Seeing Zhilan's embarrassment, Zhan Shaofeng hurriedly relieved her and said to Guanfeng: "Your sister is also worried about you, afraid that you will not be saved but will put yourself in." She was afraid of hurting your self-esteem, so she didn't say it directly, but she invited you to talk so much. In fact, he is more optimistic about Guanfeng, because he is already strong in martial arts at a young age, and he can just play a role in paralyzing the other party. But he couldn't say it directly, after all, it was Zhilan's own brother.
Guanfeng nodded and said, "I know." Then he walked up to Zhilan and said with a solemn expression: "Sister, don't worry, I will definitely live up to my mission and come back unscathed." Then he asked Zhan Shaofeng, "Brother Feng, what does the letter say?" Is it now or ......"
Zhan Shaofeng glanced at Zhilan and said, "The letter said that the money will be sent tomorrow morning, you go back and clean up first, and when I finish discussing things with your sister, we will go to Qianzhuang together." ”
"Good!" Guanfeng agreed and left.
Zhilan looked at her brother's back worriedly, sighed and asked Zhan Shaofeng, "Is he okay?" ”
"No problem." Zhan Shaofeng comforted, "I have my own arrangements, and I won't let him be in danger alone." ”
"It's only like this, father-in-law, they are still in the hands of thieves, and we don't allow us to think about him anymore." Zhilan sighed and said, "There is also a box under the bed in our house, which are all kinds of poisons and ecstasy I left behind in the past, which should be of some use to you, so take them all." ”
"That's what I'm back for." Zhan Shaofeng said, "If it were normal, I wouldn't take these thieves seriously." But this time, my father was in their hands, and he really didn't dare to act rashly. If we had the medicine you made, we would have a much better chance of winning. ”
So Zhilan ordered Thrush and Huaxin to go to the bedroom to bring the box, and she wrote down all the usages of various medicines and handed them to him. Due to the urgency of time, Zhan Shaofeng left in a hurry after getting the medicine. Before leaving, he instructed Zhilan to stabilize the situation in the mansion, and by the way, check the clues of the spy again.
It was destined to be a sleepless night. After Zhan Shaofeng and Guanfeng left, Zhilan was so anxious in the room that she was restless, worried about her father-in-law and aunt, and worried about her husband and younger brother. Because of Zhan Shaofeng's instructions, she took the two notes and looked over and over again, as if she could dig out the person who wrote the letter.
"Young lady, I won't know a little about this until tomorrow morning. Instead of worrying in vain now, you might as well rest for a while and wait for news tomorrow. Thrush said.
"I don't rest." Zhilan stiffly rejected the thrush, still spinning around with the dart in her hand. Suddenly, she remembered that Zhan Shaofeng had said that this thing was not thrown at the door from a distance, but someone had put his hand into the crack in the wood. Zhilan suddenly had a flash of inspiration in her mind and asked, "Xin'er, do you know who discovered this dart first?" ”
Huaxin said: "It's Uncle Su who is doing things on the gate, he was arguing with people at the time, and later found that a dart was inserted in the door, and he was so scared that he almost fainted." ”
Zhilan suddenly became alert and asked, "Who are you arguing with?" ”
"I don't know, I didn't ask much."
Zhilan said resolutely: "Call him over immediately, I have something to ask him." ”
“…… Be! Painted Heart hurried away.
It didn't take long for Uncle Su to come with Huaxin. He has always served in the outer courtyard, and has never entered the inner courtyard, and the number of times he has seen Zhilan is only a handful. Now he suddenly called him in the middle of the night, and he couldn't help beating a little drum in his heart, so he came in and saluted tremblingly, and kept his head down and did not dare to speak.
Seeing that he looked honest, Zhilan said gently: "Uncle, I heard that you had a quarrel with someone this afternoon, but is there such a thing?" ”
When Uncle Su heard this, he hurriedly brushed himself off, and hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, it is the Li family sister and brother who drove the young master out a while ago." These two people are really inexplicable, and they are stunned to say that we owe them the monthly silver, and we want to ask for an explanation. I remember clearly, when the young master sent them away, he not only paid off the money, but also gave them two more months. Tell me, can I let them in with this scoundrel? That's why I got into an argument with them at the door......"
The Li family's sisters and brothers, that is, the housekeeper lady and her brother who were kicked out by Zhan Shaofeng before. Zhilan already understood almost enough, but she still needed to confirm it, so she pointed to the darts and paper on the table and asked, "Then when did you find this thing?" ”
Uncle Su looked at it and replied, "It's after those two people left." They made a fuss for a while and left, and I was afraid that they would harass me again, so I was about to close the door, but I saw this. I'm also illiterate, but I know it's never a good thing. ”
"Well, you're doing the right thing." Zhilan smiled and nodded, and then asked, "Then do you know where their family lives?" ”
Uncle Su replied: "They live a little far away, as if they are ...... Behind the incense shop in Lion Lane. ”
"Are you sure?"
Uncle Su thought for a while and said, "Well, I can't be wrong. Once Li Dakui was drunk, I helped him back. ”
"Okay." Zhilan had already made up her mind in her heart, so she turned to Thrush and Huaxin and said, "Go, bring him two back for me!" Be quiet and not alarm anyone. She said as she took a bottle of conjuring from her body and handed it over.
