"Wait!" There was a hint of suspicion in the beautiful man's eyes, how could the housekeeper in front of him look like he was just a lowly servant in the house, how could he have such a strong amount of funds. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Even if it is a judgment in the city, its Yu Lu is only a hundred quintals of stone per month. But the financial resources of a housekeeper in front of him are unrivaled by the country, which is completely unexpected by the beautiful man.

The beautiful man's eyes swept to Steward He's body again, and found that he was dressed in an extremely luxurious manner, the clothes he wore were obviously made of fine silk and satin, and he also wore a shining gold ring on his thumb, which was too dazzling.

He immediately stepped forward, looked down at Steward He who was kneeling on the ground, and asked suspiciously: "You don't look like an official, let alone a rich man, why do you have so many gold, silver and jewelry hidden in the mansion, quickly and truthfully!" ”

Steward He knelt on the ground with his head bowed and replied vaguely, "This ...... No...... It's my money, no, no, no, this jewel belongs to our master, not mine. ”

"Hey, hey! I'm just asking casually, you don't have to be so nervous, if you can really take out so much jewelry, our grievances will be written off today, and we will not be in the river in the future. The beautiful man lowered his head and showed a hint of indifferent smirk, and took advantage of the situation to withdraw the black mouse in his hand into his sleeve.

And the two burly men behind him, seeing the beautiful man's actions, immediately took a step back, and their expressions were not as serious as before. The two of them are like the right hand of a beautiful man, with a heart and a heart, no matter how they see his face or his actions, they seem to be giving some kind of order.

The beautiful man smiled lightly, then shifted his gaze to He Wei, who was not far away, beckoned to him, and said happily: "Handsome young man, why are you standing there stupidly?" Come here, don't worry, I promised I wouldn't hurt you. ”

After He Wei's previous persuasion failed, he ran to the edge of the dock and stood alone, and it can be said that he could hear the conversation between the two of them clearly. But he didn't pay attention to it, he only cared about when he would be able to see Xiao Zhu.

He Wei deliberately turned his body to the other side, ignored the man's greeting, looked at the opposite riverbank, and said to himself: "Hey, now that the boat is gone, it seems that I can only swim to the other side." ”

Although He Wei's voice was very small, the beautiful man behind him could hear it very clearly. I saw the man quietly walking behind him, with a triumphant expression on his face, and replied with a smile: "Ha! Even if you swim to the other side, will you be able to find Xiao Ye's mansion? ”

He Wei suddenly turned around and looked at the beautiful man in front of him, his facial expression was extremely surprised, and he couldn't help asking, "How do you know?" ”

"What?" The beautiful man threw a wink at him.

"I'm asking how do you know I'm going to find Xiao Ye? I don't know you, I've only met once, but you can guess my thoughts, could it be that you have eavesdropped on our conversation before? He Wei accentuated his tone, and his voice was almost bursting.

"Hey, does this still need to be guessed? I saw you and Xiao Ye sitting at the same table drinking herbal tea in the inn before, if you didn't go to him? Who else could there be? The beautiful man looked at his face affectionately, and said, "If that's the case, is the young man willing to walk with me?" It just so happened that I was going to look for him too. ”

He Wei suddenly felt that something was not quite right with the man's face, his body twitched, and he hurriedly shrank back, his scalp was a little numb, and he replied nervously: "Thank you...... Thank you for your kindness, I'm more than happy to go with you, but can you not look at me with such sensual eyes? I am not your wife and concubine, let alone your beloved concubine. ”

"Hahaha! Look scares you. The beautiful man stretched out his palm to cover his immature cheeks, bit his red lip slightly, deliberately twisted his neck to the side, squinted at He Wei's body, and said gently: "There are no boats by the river, let's go to the carriage in a while, it may be a longer journey, but before dark, we will definitely be able to arrive." ”

He Wei smiled stupidly and said, "Hehe, that's it, thank you so much, it just so happens that I'm already penniless." ”

As soon as He Wei's voice fell, a strong man not far away walked over, looking angry, and his heavy steps walked behind the beautiful man, bowing and asking, "Then what to do with this housekeeper?" ”

The expression on the beautiful man's face changed suddenly, and he turned around and yelled at the strong man, "Didn't you hear him just say that he wanted to give me a few boxes of treasures? Am I going to have trouble with money? ”

"Yes, yes, do as your lord commands." The strong man bowed his head and replied softly, and then continued back to the butler's side.

He Wei on the side was shocked, his eyes widened, and the whole person froze, and hesitated for a few seconds before he slowly asked, "What...... What the? Does he call you an adult? Are you a dignitary? ”

When the beautiful man heard He Wei's greeting from behind him, his angry face turned to look at him again, and his expression suddenly changed greatly, and he said to He Wei with a smile: "Hey, it's not a big official, but the salary can ensure that you don't have to worry about food and clothing, and you can also raise a group of animals to serve you." ”

When He Wei heard this, he smiled and said, "Look at what you said, how can you compare a living person like this, if one day you are so depressed that you are penniless, and others say the same about you, will you feel happy?" ”

The beautiful man sighed and said helplessly: "Okay, okay, what's the matter, as for the fuss, let's wait in this place for a while, and after the money is delivered, we will go on the road together." ”

The beautiful man turned around and walked up to the butler, and said to him, "How long is there left, I don't have much patience, if I am in a hurry, I will tear up the ticket now." ”

Steward He immediately raised his head and said in a panic: "It's almost over, they should be on their way over now, and they will send the money over soon." ”

When He Wei on the side heard these words, he suddenly felt that something was wrong in his heart, he immediately patted the man's shoulder and said, "Forget it, we don't want this money, just let him go, let's go first." ”

The beautiful man did not listen to He Wei's euphemistic advice, but angrily rebuked him: "What are you kidding? How is it possible to say that you don't want to have so much money? ”

"Do you think there is such a good thing in the world? Don't you think it's strange that he will give you such chests of treasure? He Wei's face was a little anxious, and he locked his eyes on Steward He's body again, and said, "You deceived me before, and I won't care about you, but you want to deceive other people, do you think I can't see it?" ”

Steward He put on a pitiful look, and replied with a face full of grievances: "Shaoxia, everything I said before is true, and there is no lie, please believe me." ”

"Are you still taking me for a fool?" He Wei angrily rushed up and kicked him hard, then turned back to the man and said, "Let's go quickly, if we don't leave, we will really not be able to leave for a while." ”

The beautiful man's face showed a look of indifference, and he said with a smile: "Hmph! Forgive him for not daring to play any tricks, the two 'beasts' (guards) behind me are all first-class masters, even if something really happens to me for a while, I will not be afraid of them. ”

He Wei shook his head helplessly and said, "You really don't even want your life for money, if something happens in a while, I can't save you." ”

The beautiful man didn't continue to reply, but looked around and observed the situation nearby, and found that the entire dock was suddenly gone, and he could see a few people coming and going before, but now he couldn't even hear a bird's call, the scene became more and more deserted, and he could only hear his own breathing.

A crow suddenly flew through the sky, chirped three times, and leaped across the opposite riverbank, pulling a bubble of in the process, which just dripped, just above the beautiful man's head.

The beautiful man suddenly felt that his scalp was a little cold, and subconsciously reached out and touched his head, and suddenly felt that his palms were a little sticky, his face changed, and he said angrily: "It's really unlucky, how can it be so coincidental." ”

"This is a bad omen, let's evacuate quickly, while there is still a chance." He Wei relied on this coincidental incident to immediately persuade again, hoping that the beautiful man would listen to what he said.

The beautiful man always believed in his thoughts, gritted his teeth and said, "No! The butler dressed like a rich man, and his silk was obviously worth a fortune, and if he were released now, he would have lost a considerable fortune. ”

Steward He, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly looked a little weird, and hurriedly said loudly: "Yes!" Yes! If you let me go now, or kill me, won't you get the money, so you should wait, and my people will honestly send you the ransom. ”

He Wei, who was standing on the side, could obviously feel that his words were a lie, and the anger in his heart burned again, and he was ready to go up and kick him again without saying a word, in order to vent the hatred in his heart. But as soon as he raised his legs, he heard dense footsteps in his ears, and he was slowly approaching his position.

"Did you hear that? The sound of footsteps, as if there were quite a few people, was getting closer and closer. He Wei immediately retracted his legs, squinted at the man and said in alarm.

"What are you panicking about? Presumably, someone must have sent money over, and so many jewels naturally need a lot of people to transport. The beautiful man raised his head and swept left and right around, but no one happened, but in his ears he could hear footsteps getting closer and closer to him.

He Wei clenched his fists, his body tensed up every Xuan, a trace of cold sweat broke out on his forehead unconsciously, and his legs couldn't help but tremble, and he had a bad premonition in his heart. He locked his eyes in every corner of the surroundings, and suddenly replied: "No, there is something wrong with this footstep, the pace is too neat, it is impossible for so many people to come, it is not like a family transporting jewelry, but more like a well-trained army." ”

The beautiful man couldn't help laughing, and comforted happily: "Shaoxia, you are too suspicious, there are only more than 100 guards in this poor and remote town, and they are all in the hands of Yan Ju, hahaha......" The man stretched out his hand and pointed to the embarrassed butler kneeling on the ground and laughed and mocked: "Just with just one person in the palace, how can he move so many tiger warriors?" ”

"Hahaha......" Steward He, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, and immediately stood up slowly with his hands on the ground, patting the dust on his body. He locked his eyes on the body of the beautiful man beside him, stretched out his hand and pointed to his face, and said with a smug smile: "Now it's your turn to kneel down for me, and persuade you to kowtow to me nine times in a row immediately, if I am happy, I may be able to let you go, if you don't comply, a big disaster is coming, hahaha......"

The beautiful man was suddenly frightened by the housekeeper's actions, and he didn't react at all that he had already gotten up from the ground, and was stunned for a while before he spoke: "Who...... Who got you on your feet? You're not so brave that you dare to get up from the ground without permission, don't you want to live? ”

Steward He not only did not obey Yu Meiman's orders, but also deliberately put his hands on his waist, pretending to be in a condescending posture, and confidently raised his voice and replied: "It seems that you still haven't figured out the situation, open your dog eyes and take a closer look around you, who is in charge now?" ”

The beautiful man's face suddenly became a little pale, between the two lips twitched inadvertently, his heart beat faster, and he subconsciously squinted at the situation around him, and in his afterglow, he seemed to find countless pairs of feet standing slowly approaching his position, and the sound of orderly footsteps kept coming from the eardrums.

At this time, He Wei suddenly grabbed the arm of the beautiful man and said to him in a panic: "Let's withdraw quickly, you go first, I will cover your retreat, and we will meet on the other side of the river later." ”

"What? You let me retreat? Today, even if there are thousands of troops and horses, I am not afraid, each of the two personal guards behind me has the courage of ten thousand people, you also saw it just now, and in a snap of your fingers, the dozen or so family members were beaten all over the ground to find teeth. When the beautiful man said this, his voice was very soft, and he didn't seem to have much confidence, let alone full confidence.

The two strong men behind him turned their heads to look at each other, both of them sneered, turned their eyes to the beautiful man in front of them, bent down and bowed deeply to him, and at the same time opened their mouths to the beautiful man and said: "My lord, please allow us to leave, we don't want to continue to work for you, you can do it yourself." ”

The voice suddenly came from the ears of the beautiful man, and his face was even more frightened, and he immediately looked back at the two strong men behind him, and exclaimed, "What are you going to do?" Are you trying to betray me? Usually the official eats and drinks for you, but at this moment of crisis, you actually want to do such a treacherous thing? ”

With a hint of indifference on their faces, the two strong men bowed their heads and replied in unison: "We are not people who seek glory from the Lord, we just don't want to continue to be your beasts, and I hope that your lord can forgive us for making this difficult decision at this time." ”

The beautiful man was stunned for a moment, his face seemed to become more nervous, and his face was flushed, not expecting the situation to become like this at all. But after a while, he laughed again, his smile was very sour, his voice suddenly became very low, and said: "Haha, you must be joking with this official, you are my right-hand man, and my henchmen, like Han Xin, Guan Zhong, Le Yi, how could they abandon me at such a critical moment?" You must be joking around with the official, aren't you? Hey! ”

"No, everything we say is true, it is all from the bottom of our hearts, and I really can't help it." One of the strong men couldn't help but reply, and the other also bowed to him in one last sign of awe.

Steward He, who was standing on the side, suddenly looked ecstatic, and suddenly laughed sarcastically, with an arrogant look on his face, and couldn't help but ridicule the beautiful man: "Ahaha...... Ahaha...... Aha...... Look at your current virtue, your subordinates are going to betray you, and you still pretend to be at ease, I really feel sorry for you, sad, sorry! ”

After the beautiful man heard this, he was annoyed and angry, he was embarrassed, his eyebrows were about to burn, his fists were about to pinch out of cold sweat, and he didn't dare to turn back to face Steward He behind him.

At this moment, a dense group of countless tiger armor warriors gathered in all directions, wearing indestructible iron armor, each holding a shining metal weapon in their hands, and slowly surrounded them in the direction of the beautiful man with their heads held high.

The beautiful man raised his head slightly, and swept around, his body involuntarily began to tremble, his cheeks were as white as a piece of paper, and he looked terrified to the extreme. He hurriedly looked up at the two strong men in front of him, put on a pitiful look, and begged in a lamented voice: "Two, listen to me, don't leave yet, okay?" Help me get rid of these thorny obstacles in front of me, and I will give you as much gold and silver treasure as you want, and I will give it to you without hesitation. ”

The two strong men did not continue to reply, but shook their heads indifferently, and turned away from the beautiful man's side.

Although there were a lot of soldiers around them, it could be seen that the two strong men walked towards them, and they consciously let go of a gap and let the two of them leave silently. These soldiers didn't seem to care about these two strong men in their eyes, and the target was only the beautiful man with fine skin and tender flesh in front of them.

Steward He couldn't help laughing again, and said: "Haha, you monster who is neither male nor female, now you are embattled, and you can't escape, this is your burial place, don't worry, I will come to worship you in person next year, you can go on the road with peace of mind." ”

The beautiful man's expression instantly became extremely flustered, and his legs were almost weak. Suddenly, he turned his gaze to He Wei, who had been silent for a long time beside him, and there was a hint of longing in his eyes, which seemed to regard him as the only life-saving straw at this time.

The beautiful man suddenly turned around, stretched out his hands and grabbed He Wei's arm tightly, and begged in a low voice: "Young man, you should think of a way, don't stop talking, what should we do now, we are about to die here." ”

He Wei didn't speak, his expression was very calm, he just glanced at him slightly, which seemed to imply something.

But the beautiful man didn't understand what his expression meant, and asked anxiously, "What do you mean?" Hurry up and save the official, when the time comes, if you want gold and silver, the official will give it to you, you are the only life-saving benefactor of the official. ”

When Steward He saw that he was afraid of becoming this virtue, he was even more happy, and even whistled and said with a smile: "Oh, what are you asking him to do, asking to come and beg me, if I am happy, maybe I can spare you a way to live?" ”

Before the beautiful man could react, an old man in an official uniform walked out of the group of soldiers around him, he was wearing a black gauze hat, he looked like he was fifty or sixty years old, he reached out and pinched his long white beard, his eyes looked at the beautiful man in front of him, and suddenly he said: "White-faced ghost, do you still recognize this official?" Today, the official will take your head to pay tribute to my wife's spirit in heaven. ”

The beautiful man heard a burst of vicissitudes of words behind him, and immediately looked back at the old man in front of him, his expression became even more panicked, his body retreated two steps uncontrollably, and replied with a trembling voice: "Yan ...... Lord Yan, which ...... Which gust of wind has blown you, help me, my current situation is very dangerous, maybe my life will be in danger. ”

The old man smiled and said slowly, "Ahem! In fact, this matter has nothing to do with Steward He, it was all planned by this official and me, and the purpose is to get rid of you, a wolf-hearted thing. ”

The sky gradually darkened, and the green sun in the sky suddenly set in the east, the red moon rose in the west, and the stars glowed orange in the night.

The surrounding soldiers all raised the spare torches in their hands, and after they were lit, the dockside became brighter, and the firelight shone on everyone's faces, each soldier had no facial features on his face, and it looked like a yellow-skinned face, but they could act as they wanted, more like a living cold-blooded animal.

The old man took two more steps forward and said with a sneer, "What? Did you kill yourself to apologize? Or will I let my men send you on your way? ”

The beautiful man's expression was panicked, countless beads of sweat flowed down his forehead, and he replied in shock: "Lord Yan...... I'm your person, not only your person, but also your cronies, your confidants, have you forgotten? ”

"Hehe, you still have the face to bark in front of me, a pig and a dog are not as good as things, I used to treat you well, but you hide from me, and my wife hid in the dark corner of the gutter to do dirty things, that's all, but you actually killed my beloved wife with your own hands, how can you bear it? Do you think I don't even know about all these dirty things you do? The old man's face changed suddenly, and there were wisps of blood in his eyes, which looked terrifying.
