15. It came just in time

The tense day has come to an end for Lian Di, Guan Tongsheng, and Ye Yanshan, but for some people, it seems to have just begun.

In the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion, the study of the Prime Minister of Quan was full of account books and letters moved from Zhang Mao's house, and the three retainers-like people in the room rummaged through one by one, shook their heads after flipping through one book, threw it aside, and then turned over the next one.

Kwon Boxiong's face became more and more ugly, and he waved his hand and threw a cup of tea cup to the ground, and the crisp sound of the crackle frightened the three people who turned the book.

"Don't stop, keep looking. Kwon said with a gloomy face. Quan Fu, the housekeeper on the side, whispered: "Don't worry, master, Zhang Mao has always been cautious in doing things, and we can't find the account books, let alone others." ”

There was a soft sound in the window of the study, and Quan Xiang walked to the window, and a man in black outside approached him and whispered a few words, Quan Xiang's eyes were closed, and he said in annoyance: "Are you sure that the people who are greedy and corrupt will not be killed?"

And in the Zhuguo Mansion, Lei Guogong listened to his grandson Lei Sheng's whispered report by his side, and said in surprise: "Copper Coin Hero?" He stroked his beard, squinted his eyes and said: "I have indeed heard of this person, the people of the previous dynasty were widely circulated, and he specialized in killing traitors and corrupt people, how could it be him?"

Lei Guogong stood up and walked back and forth in the house twice, and said suspiciously: "Could it be that Zhang Mao's death is not an accident, and there is still a deep secret hidden behind it?" Sheng'er, you sent someone to keep an eye on Guan Tongsheng, and you must know the truth of the case as soon as possible. ”

Lei Sheng nodded yes and left quickly.

In the Jiantong Courtyard of Xinningbo Mansion, Brother Lian finally fell asleep peacefully, and Lian Li and Lian Jie closed the door lightly and left.

Walking to the courtyard, Lian Li whispered to Lian Jie: "Your marriage can't be delayed any longer, Mrs. Zhao will die for three years, and as soon as Zhao Gongzi's filial piety period expires, you will marry quickly." After you get married, my brother will be able to resume women's clothing. Your father is coming back soon, and he wrote to say that he has applied to return to Beijing to garrison, and our family must marry off my brother before she turns 19. ”

Lian Jie pouted and said, "Got it." ”

"I heard that Zhao Gongzi got an errand in the Praetorian Guard, and my brother said that he is strong in martial arts and will definitely have a good future, and now that his parents are dead, you will be in charge of the house in the past, and you don't have to wait for your in-laws, you are much better than your sisters. ”

Lian Jie lowered her head with a red face, and suddenly heard a knock on the courtyard door, and her cousin Xu Wanqing's voice sounded outside the door: "Cousin, are you back?"

Lian Li hurriedly went over and opened the door, "Qing'er, don't shout, your cousin has already fallen asleep." ”

Wanqing said: "Auntie, I heard from the little maid in the courtyard that my cousin is sick, so I will go in and see him." ”

"It's late today, tomorrow. ”

Wanqing stretched her neck to look at the window where Brother Lian had turned off the lights, and said goodbye to Lian Li and Lian Jie helplessly, and left reluctantly.

Lian Li sighed and said, "Wanqing, this girl is more and more affectionate to her brother, how is this good?"

"Otherwise, tell her the truth, and directly cut off her thoughts. ”

"Wanqing's girl has a simple and straightforward personality, and she can't hold back her words, how can she tell her the truth?"

Lian Jie said disappreciatively: "Let my brother worry, she has the most ghost ideas, and Wanqing listens to her the most." ”

Even Li nodded and said: "It's the only way, Wanqing is nothing here, now it's the girl in the nunnery, Mrs. Huichi wrote to her and asked her to send something to Wuzen Temple on Xizhao Mountain, and she began to be restless and always wanted to run there." When you go to burn incense this month, knock her well, and don't do anything out of the ordinary. She sold the death deed to the Lian family, and let her live in the nunnery as the fifth lady of the Lian family, but she can't ruin her reputation, and Lian Brother has to use her identity to marry. ”

"Wuzen Temple, isn't that the royal temple where the emperor practiced?"

"But no, the incense is prosperous, and there are many people, how can Huichi let her go there? It will be fifteen in two days, you hurry up." ”

"Hmm. ”

The two of them walked out of the courtyard while talking.

Early in the morning of the second day, it was another sunny day, and my brother had always gone to bed early and got up early, cleaned up and washed, and went to the yard to meditate cross-legged and run the whole body for a week, only to feel that the whole body was smooth with qi and blood, and the body slowly warmed up.

Lian Di's grandfather Lian Hu used to be a bandit leader, but he didn't become a boss by playing tricks, how could he be the boss without some real kung fu. Although he didn't stay with him for long when he came over, this body was personally instructed and practiced by him since he was a child, and the foundation was very good, and then he was chased and practiced by his father.

As soon as she stood up, the courtyard door was slammed open, and there were only two people who could enter her courtyard door like this, one Guan Tongsheng and one full three.

When she turned her head, she saw Guan Tongsheng running over happily with a big burden on his shoulder, and followed by Xiao Ye.

"Brother Lian, the inn where Ye Yanshan lives, I asked him to retire, move to your house, and save some silver. ”

Brother Lian glared at him, "You have so many yards, can't you live there?"

Guan Shudu said aggrievedly: "He wants to learn the art of reading people's hearts from you, and he doesn't want to live with me, so I promised to let him live here for you." ”

Brother Lian was angry, this guy had never regarded himself as an outsider, Brother Lian pointed to the big burden on his back and asked, "What about you? What do you want to do with such a big burden?"

"Oh, until the case is solved, I'm going to stay close to you two. Guan Shudun said as a matter of course.

"You're moving here too?" Brother Lian just wanted to lose his temper at him, but suddenly thought about it, isn't this just right?
