Chapter 48: It's hard to tell the truth from the fake

Axa...... You'd better not get caught by me, or I won't let you go!"

Xun Xuan clenched her fists and motioned to Fu Rongrong on the side to put the dog in her arms on the ground.

As soon as Mao Mao hit the ground, he ran quickly like a horse off the leash.

The dog quickly ran to the vicinity of the south courtyard of the temple, while Xun Xuan and Fu Rongrong were anxiously chasing after them.

There were two servants guarding the gate of the courtyard, and Fu Rongrong couldn't run anymore when she ran to the gate of the courtyard, so she gasped and said to the two servants: "You two...... Don't you see my pet running away? Why don't you help me get the dog back? ”

The two servants looked at each other, they knew Fu Rongrong, after all, Fu Rongrong's "notoriety" in the early years had spread all over the Beijing Division, and everyone in the entire Beijing Division knew about it.

For the daughter of the Marquis of Jingyang, they were full of fear in their hearts, but when they thought of Taishi and An Shangshu talking about things in the house, they ordered the two of them to guard here.

"What? Whose family are you? Don't even pay attention to Jingyang Hou? Is it so hard to get you to catch a dog for me? Fu Rongrong glared and scolded angrily.

The two servants were forced to have no choice, after all, the Marquis of Jingyang has been a hero for generations, even if the master Zhu sees it, he will be polite and give three points, if they don't give this Miss Fu face, I'm afraid that I won't have a good life tonight.

"Yes, yes, the little one will chase it!" The two servants responded and hurriedly chased them out.

Fu Rongrong saw the two servants walking away, and hurriedly whispered to Xun Xuan: "Come in, I'll help you watch outside, and call me immediately if there is anything!" ”

"Cousin Fu, don't worry, I'll go back when I go." With that, Xun Xuan quietly entered the courtyard.

The courtyard was empty, and the house was brightly lit, and the light penetrated into the bluestone floor of the courtyard through the half-open windows, and the courtyard was only slightly brightened.

Xun Xuan walked to the half-open window, and An Sheng's figure was clearly visible through the gap.

"An Shangshu, the reason why I promised you to let Zixuan marry your daughter last time was because I took a fancy to the authority of your household secretary, when will you give me the account book that the official wants?" Zhu Wei's tone was quite threatening.

An Sheng: "The Taishi is angry, and the lower officials are also trying their best to find it, but the previous household department Shangshu died in a hurry, and the account book may have been hidden by him long ago, and the lower officials searched through the entire household department and found no clues." ”

"Don't listen to your explanations, don't forget how you got the position of the head of the household! That account book is related to your life and mine, the slightest carelessness will be the destruction of the Manchus, you must not take me lightly! ”

"Yes, yes, the lower officials know, please rest assured!" An Sheng licked his face and said flatteringly.

"And Xun Zhi in your house, don't forget who forced Wu Guogong to death, if she knows something, I'm afraid that the first one who won't let go is you, you can watch me closely, be careful of causing trouble to Xiao Wall." Zhu Wei reminded coldly.

"Master Tai, don't worry, that girl Xun Zhi can't make any waves for a while, if it really comes to that point, the lower officials will not keep her."

Xun Xuan squinted, her nails pinched into her palms, it turned out that the letter was true, all this was really related to Ansheng!

It was An Sheng and Zhu Wei who colluded to kill the Wuguo Mansion.

Xun Xuan took a breath lightly, restrained the urge to rush into the house to kill someone, turned around and walked down the steps quickly, ready to return, but collided with Lan Gu who was walking towards her.

What is Lan Gu doing here? Xun Xuan's heart suddenly lifted.

Could it be that Aunt Lan followed her all the way here after she came back from the Liu family?

Then what she and Fu Rongrong did, didn't Lan Gu see it clearly?

Lan Gu didn't seem to expect Xun Xuan to turn back so suddenly, looking at each other at the moment, embarrassed and a little more calculating.

"What are you doing here?" Xun Xuan asked in a whisper, and as she spoke, her eyes hidden in the darkness suddenly appeared with a touch of murderous intent.

Lan Gu didn't expect that she would be caught by Xun Xuan, and she didn't know what to say for a while, so she gaged: "I'm here...... I can't sleep at night and go for a walk. ”

After saying that, Lan Gu immediately turned around and ran towards the outside of the courtyard, but was dragged back by Xun Xuan, only to hear Xun Xuan's voice say coldly: "Where is Lan Gu going?" ”

The answer was to ask knowingly, so naturally he went to report to the Liu family, and Xun Xuan tracked down An Sheng's matter.

Xun Xuan has such a smart mind, how could she easily let Lan Gu go back?

Now that the matter has been revealed, Lan Gu is a ...... But I can't keep it!

Lan Gu also seemed to see the cold killing intent flashing in Xun Xuan's eyes, and she was so frightened that she couldn't help but reach out and touch her somewhat cold neck: "What are you going to do?" I didn't see anything, I just went out for a walk! ”

"Really?" Xun Xuan squinted her eyes and sneered.

"You let go of me, I promise I won't say a word!"

Xun Xuan looked at Lan Gu's sincere appearance, and her heart relaxed for a while, and at the moment when Xun Xuan shook her head, Lan Gu suddenly stretched out her hand and pushed Xun Xuan away, and ran towards the Taishi's house with her legs.

"Master An, open the door quickly, the slave has something to report!" Lan Gu shouted and banged on the door.

It was too late for Xun Xuan to step forward to stop him, and when he was in a hurry, he turned his head and saw the dog Maomao running leisurely to his feet.

Xun Xuan was in a hurry, stood in the distance and shouted: "Aunt Lan, why did you come here at night?" ”

As soon as Xun Xuan finished saying this, the door was opened, and Lan Gu was stunned because of Xun Xuan's words, and as soon as the door opened, the whole person fell straight in.

It happened to be An Sheng who opened the door, and when he saw Lan Gu lying on the ground, he couldn't help frowning in disgust: "Aren't you the steward next to Madame?" Why did you get here? ”

Taishi looked at An Sheng suspiciously: "An Shangshu, why did your servant appear in my courtyard?" ”

An Sheng also didn't know anything, and angrily reprimanded Lan Gu: "Don't say it quickly!" What's going on? ”

"Small...... The little one saw Miss Xun lying by the window eavesdropping on the two of them, so he said something to stop them! Lan Gu looked at Xun Xuan with a vicious face, she had been designed by Xun Xuan many times before, and this time she could finally break it down in one fell swoop.

Just when Lan Gu was proud, Xun Xuan turned around and picked up the dog Mao Mao from the side: "Lan Gu, what are you talking about?" I chased you here to find Cousin Fu's hair, and as soon as I came, I saw you lying by the window eavesdropping, I didn't intend to expose you, why did you bite me back? ”

When Lan Gu heard Xun Xuan say this, she immediately panicked: "It's not such a master, you must not listen to Miss Xun's nonsense, the slave was ordered by Mrs. Liu to deliberately follow Miss Xun here, it was Miss Xun who overheard you, the old slave just listened to Mrs. and went out to do something, and the old slave didn't know anything." ”

Lan Gu and Xun Xuan insisted on their own words, and for a while, An Sheng and Zhu Wei were also the first two big, and they didn't know who to believe.

"It's better to bring both of her into the house and tell them slowly." Zhu Wei looked at An Sheng coldly, the meaning was obvious, neither of them planned to let go.

At this moment, Fu Rongrong walked in from outside the courtyard and picked up Mao Mao from Xun Xuan's arms: "Thank you, Ah Zhi, I finally let me find it." ”

"Mao Mao is fine, it's just that Master Zhu misunderstood me and overheard the two of them, but he wronged me to death!" Xun Xuan half-jokingly complained to Fu Rongrong.

Hearing this, Fu Rongrong turned her head to look at Zhu Wei and An Sheng: "Zhu Taishi, An Shangshu, I can testify, Ah Zhi is helping me find a pet, if you two don't believe it, you can take me to interrogate me together." ”

Fu Rongrong is the beloved daughter of the Marquis of Jingyang, even if she is Zhu Taishi, she will never dare to provoke the Marquis of Jingyang, let alone take Fu Rongrong for interrogation, isn't this intended to make a feud with the Hou Mansion?

The Marquis of Jingyang holds a heavy army, and the title has been passed down from generation to generation, which is different from a civil servant like Zhu Taishi.

"Don't dare, Miss Fu, what are you talking about? I'm just not worried about Miss Xun wandering around alone at such a late hour, how unsafe it is. Zhu Taishi said with a smile, and then glanced at An Sheng.

An Sheng got the signal, and hurriedly said: "Yes, since Miss Fu is here, let Ah Zhi go back with you, and I will rest assured." ”

Fu Rongrong smiled very friendly, and said loudly: "Since both of them said so, then I will take my cousin and leave first." ”

"Be careful on the road." An Sheng pretended to care.

Xun Xuan followed Fu Rongrong and left, and before leaving, she turned her eyes and glanced at Lan Gu again, and the killing intent that flashed in her eyes made Lan Gu shiver unconsciously.

Xun Xuan left, and there was only Lan Gu left in the courtyard, and she looked at An Sheng with a panicked face: "Master, what the old slave said is the truth, you must believe the old slave!" ”

"An Shangshu, I don't want the words of you and me to spread tonight, since it is a person from your house, then I will leave it to you to dispose of." Zhu Wei gestured to An Sheng pointedly.

An Sheng knew this, and naturally responded: "I wish the Taishi, please rest assured, the lower officials know what to do." ”

"Sir...... I'm wronged......" Lan Gu lay on the ground and tugged at the corner of An Sheng's clothes, pleading.

"I don't know if I'm wronged, I can only blame you for being unlucky!" With that, An Sheng turned around and walked towards the outside of the courtyard.

Lan Gu immediately followed, pleading all the way, but An Sheng never said a word.

When the two of them left the South Courtyard, An Sheng suddenly turned around and kicked Lan Gu in the stomach, and said in a cruel tone: "It's better for you to die!" ”

After An Sheng finished speaking, he turned around and walked away quickly, and the two little servants who followed closely behind glanced at each other knowingly, nodded, and at the same time stepped forward to hold Lan Gu and dragged her into the night.

……

Here, Xun Xuan and Fu Rongrong left the south courtyard quickly.

Xun Xuan was still a little undecided because of the matter just now, and almost ...... She was about to be killed by Zhu Wei and An Sheng.

"Fortunately, you arrived in time this time, otherwise the consequences are unimaginable." Xun Xuan exhaled lightly and said to Fu Rongrong.

"I also heard the movement, so I called Mao Mao to help you. Don't take such a risk in the future. Fu Rongrong held Xun Xuan's hand tightly and pulled her all the way to walk forward hurriedly.

Halfway through, Fu Rongrong's footsteps suddenly stopped, and she looked at Xun Xuan with a pale and solemn face: "Did you hear that?" ”
