Chapter 35: The Second Lady's Secret
"Go and take it, if you lose, you lose, your skills are not as good as others, and you can't complain about others."
As the words fell, a man appeared on the steps of the second floor.
He was dressed in a moon-white brocade robe, his hair was half-scattered and hung down behind his head, and he wore a silver-horned mask on his face, which covered all of his face.
He walked slowly down the stairs with his hands behind his back and stood in front of me.
Somehow, I don't have the slightest affection for people with masks. Then he arched his hand and said, "Then thank you Childe." ”
This kung fu, Saturday and Saturday had already gotten up from the ground, staggered to the back hall, it should be to get the deed, and the man stood not far away, staring at me all the time.
His gaze was faint, with a condescending scrutiny, and for the first time, I was so dissatisfied with my height that I wanted to stand on a stool and look at him.
"The little boy's dice are really shaking well." He spoke, his voice still faint.
Xu is close, I always feel that this voice is somewhat familiar, but I can't remember where I heard it. I wanted to find some familiarity through his mask, but I saw that he seemed to be pulling the corners of his mouth slightly, and his red lips were hooked, revealing an indescribable playfulness.
I'm a little uncomfortable, although this body is only nine years old, but Feng Qingluan is not nine years old. This kind of playful laughter looks very strange, and my heart suddenly rises strangely, and I feel like I am being slighted.
I frowned slightly, and wanted not to look over, but fortunately, at this time, Zhou Hu came out of the back hall, and respectfully handed the deed to the man in his hand, he picked it with his long fingers, and gave me a few pages of paper, "These are the deed of the Jucai Gambling House, and in the future, it will be yours." ”
I took it and looked at it, in addition to the deed and the title deed, there was also a voluntary assignment, and the other party had already signed the name, and when I signed it, it would take effect.
"Thank you very much." I rolled up a few pages of paper, stuffed them into my sleeve, and looked around to find that there were not many people in the gambling hall that was originally full of people, and the people called by Li Jiu also secretly dispersed, leaving twenty or thirty people standing far behind, all with a cautious face.
The masked man saw me looking around, I didn't know what I thought, and said, "Childe, the gambling house is already yours, and the title deed is also in your hand, can you allow a few days and wait for Boss Zhou to take care of things?" ”
I said, "This is natural., since this is the case, I will not bother for the first time, I will send someone to take over the gambling house in three days, and I hope that the son will keep his promise, so I will leave." So saying, he turned to leave.
"Engong, Qiao Qi, Qiao Qi." Li Jiu hurriedly reminded in a low voice.
I then remembered that there was still this matter, so I turned around and saluted again, "This son, my brother has a friend who was detained by Boss Zhou, I don't know if it can be convenient to repay me, and I am willing to repay the gambling debts he owes." ”
"Oh, is there such a thing?" Saturday and busy stepped forward and whispered, and then he said, "In this case, the son will take the person away, and the gambling money will not be given, it will be regarded as a congratulatory gift from the other person when the new store is opened." ”
"Thank you very much." I bowed, and after a while, a few reckless men dragged a dying middle-aged man who had been beaten over. I was not polite, I led people out, and Li Jiu led me to an alley where there were no people on all sides.
Li Jiu and the others let go of Qiao Qi, he piled it on the ground, and one person handed over the gourd, Li Jiu took a sip and stirred it in his face.
After a while, he woke up, got up and began to kowtow, "Boss Zhou spares his life, the small one must pay back, beg the boss not to chop off the small fingers, spare his life, Boss Zhou......"
Li Jiuyi snorted and said, "You can see clearly, this is not a gambling house, it was our son who paid off your gambling debts for you and saved you." ”
Qiao Qi stopped, raised his blue nose and swollen face to look around, and found that he was really no longer in the backyard of the gambling house, and suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and piled it up on the ground softly.
I walked over and asked him condescendingly, "You are Qiao Qi, who is guarding the door in Yulin Courtyard?" ”
He hurriedly attached himself to the ground and kowtowed to me, "The little one is Qiao Qi, Xie Gongzi rescued me, thank you Gongzi." ”
I nodded and asked, "I heard that Boss Zhou of the Jucai Gambling House wanted to chop off one of your fingers to offset the gambling account before?" ”
Qiao Qi immediately nodded like a chicken pecking rice, "What Childe said is very true, the little one only owes three hundred taels, and he actually wants to chop off the little little finger, thanks to Childe's rescue, Qiao Qi escaped the catastrophe." Little boy, you are really benevolent and righteous, righteous Bo Yuntian, thank you Childe, thank you Childe, ......," After speaking, he kept kowtowing.
Righteous thin clouds? Great benevolence and righteousness? Praise people are quite a set.
I nodded and said to Li Jiu, "Go and abolish one of his hands." ”
"Yes." Li Jiu stepped forward and dragged Qiao Qi's two arms.
"Don't, Childe!" Qiao Qi screamed miserably, kicking his legs hard to break away. Li Jiu ordered the two of them to hold him down, picked up a piece of wood with the thickness of his forearm, and felt that he couldn't make it stronger, and picked up a wooden stick with the thickness of his calf to compare, this time he nodded with satisfaction. Take a step on your feet, take a deep breath, and make a stick.
"Don't! Aha, don't! Qiao Qi closed his eyes and shouted with a wolf howl.
"What are you shouting, I haven't knocked yet." Li Jiu looked disdainful and raised his stick again. Qiao Qi immediately howled, "Little boy, spare your life, spare your life!" What do you want Qiao Qi to do, Qiao Qi went to the soup and fire on the knife mountain and the sea of fire, begging the little boy to spare his life! ”
I made a look, asked Li Jiu to stop first, paced over and asked, "You said that you can go up the sword mountain and go down to the sea of fire for me, or not, there are no useless people around me, you can tell me, but what is the difference?" ”
"This ......" he choked, and after thinking for a long time, he didn't say a meridian.
I see!
As soon as I waved my hand, Li Jiu immediately spat and raised his stick to knock ......
"Don't, wait, wait!" Qiao Qi shouted urgently, "Secret, I know a lot of secrets that others don't know, Childe must be interested!" ”
I became a little interested and asked him, "Then tell me, what is the secret, if you say it well, this arm will be kept for you, if you don't say it well...... "I pulled my face, then I will break your legs!" ”
Qiao Qi took a deep breath, caught a glimpse of the large bags of food in Lu Zhu's hand, and said slowly, "Although the Chengbei Sauce Duck Shop is a century-old signboard, it uses sick ducks and dead ducks.
The honey of the third house on West Street is mixed with cane sugar. The stinky tofu of Tongji on North Street is smoked in a thatched house, there is a pharmacy in front of it, and the doctor used to be a pig killer, although he has a beard, I can still recognize him at a glance! ”
He always said a lot, and I nodded after listening, "What you said is indeed a secret." However, Ben Gongzi doesn't like to listen to these, and likes to listen to some exciting lace. But it looks like you won't know anything, so you won't keep this arm. ”
Without waiting for my signal, Li Jiu hurriedly picked up the stick again, and hurriedly finished knocking it and went home for dinner!
"Yes, yes, yes! It's exciting! Qiao Qi sweated profusely, gritted his teeth, and finally said, "The little one knows a lot of exciting secrets, but after I finish pleading, don't tell the news that I leaked, otherwise, the little nine lives are not enough to die!" ”
I sneered in my heart, but there was no expression on my face, and motioned for him to hurry up.
He leaned closer, lowered his voice and said, "The little one is guarding the door in Yulin Courtyard, and I have seen many nobles every day. Although the third son of the Jingdaotai family is married to a wife, he is a Longyang lover, and he has a hot fight with the Qingfeng prince in the courtyard, and many noble ladies also come to sit occasionally, among which the most noble status is the second lady Su of General Suho's mansion. ”
Ho, just wait for him to say this!
Qiao Qi continued, "This Second Lady Su is very good with the Yuliang prince in the courtyard, and she used to come back every five days and eight days. They set the time first, and the little one was responsible for going to the Yinhong Mansion next door, opening the back door of the backyard, leading Mrs. Su out of the Yinhong Mansion, and going down the path to the other courtyard of Yulin Courtyard. Finally, send the lady to leave the other way. ”
It's really a cunning rabbit three caves, and it's not even in the Yulin Courtyard.
"How long have they known each other?"
Qiao Qidao, "The little one has been coming to Yulin Academy for two years, but looking at the time, it may be longer than this." ”
More than two years, that's a long time. I don't know how Su Hong, who has always been tired of spoiling Dow, will feel when he knows that he has been a green hat for so long?
I opened the folding fan suddenly, fanned it twice, and asked, "Do you know how the two of them got in touch?" ”
This time, Qiao Qidao said, "I really don't know this little one, the small one is just a person who watches the courtyard door, and that's all I know." The rules and regulations of Yulin Courtyard are very strict, and guests are not allowed to walk at will. It's a big taboo for a small one today, and if the hospital manager knows about it, of course he won't be able to live. Ask the son, just spare the little one. ”
After saying that, he kept banging his head on the ground.
Seeing that he didn't look like he was lying, I didn't ask anymore, and motioned for Li Jiu to let go of him, and he knelt on the ground busily, as if waiting for me to fall.
Although I expected it for a long time, I heard it with my own ears, and it was a different feeling. This Tao is really bold, Su Hong has always spoiled her, and even did such an immoral thing.
Thinking of that day's desperate assassination, my eyes moved slightly, "Qiao Qi, that Yuliang son, do you have a favorite place to go on weekdays?" For example, which refreshments does he prefer, or what kind of clothing do he like the most? ”
Qiao Qi thought for a while and shook his head, "Prince Yuliang is very indifferent, and he doesn't pay much attention to food and clothing, besides, those things are the best in the Yulin Pavilion, so he doesn't need to worry about it." If you like to go to the ...... place," he hesitated, and said, "Childe will go to Qing'an Temple in the north of the city every few days to offer sesame oil money." ”
Qing'an Temple, how is it so familiar......
By the way, I remembered.
Didn't the third lady always go to Qing'an Temple to hang incense? I used to overhear that she liked the lotus pond behind the temple the most, and if she had the opportunity, she wanted to call the lord and her to enjoy the lotus...
I smiled slightly, suddenly had an idea, shook the folding fan a few times, and said, "Qiao Qi, I want you to do one thing, and when it is done, I will no longer trouble you, and I will reward you with one hundred and two hundred silver, how about it?" ”
