Chapter 15: The Cold in the High Places (3)

。 ”

"Knock", "knock" knock on the door, the heavy wooden door can't see the people inside, and can't tell whether it is a man or a woman, can only vaguely see the figure reflected on the paper window, it seems to be drinking tea, the action is not in a hurry, the attendant went in for a long time, a corner of the silhouette fell on the window paper, I don't know what to say to the people inside, and finally came out, "Childe, please come in, my master is waiting for you inside." ”

Qiu Cheng examined it carefully, and the room was quite bright, "Hua Li, you are waiting for me here." ”

"Childe let Floral go in with you."

"No need, just here, I'll call you if something happens when I come back."

Flower Gravel whispered, "That... Childe be careful. Qiu Cheng thought that if the people inside really wanted to do something, they could at least find Hua Li and go out for help, she still had some people... Won't see her die without help, watching the thick wooden door slam shut, the heart is also heavy, before because of the fear of being seen did not observe, after a careful look only to find that the original Huanlian Pavilion is a rectangle on all sides, at this time... The whole body is red and bright at night.

The man in the room drank tea idly for half a sound before he made a sound, as the so-called enemy does not move, I do not move, Qiu Cheng thought to himself, even if he wanted to ask in his heart, he could not speak out rashly, panicked, and the worst result was that the other party would strike first. In the silence, finally... The other party spoke up, "County Lord, I haven't seen you for a long time, Chu misses it very much." He said this meaninglessly, like a friend he hadn't seen for a long time.

He didn't say that it was okay, but after saying it, Qiu Cheng felt a little urgent in his heart, and a cold sweat broke out in his clenched palm, but he didn't dare to show it on his face, the bad result was that the other party knew that he had an unstable foundation and was weak in his strength, and he was afraid of being recognized all day long, and so on..., he said the county lord, that means that it may be an acquaintance of Master Li before, or someone who saw her later, the impulse is often the most terrifying, calm down for a while, in short, give it a try first, Qiu Cheng said, "It's really been a long time, What are you looking for me? ”

Sure enough, as he expected, he just heard the wind coming, and his voice was low, "Chu Mou has just returned to Beijing recently, and he hasn't even seen the princess, so he came to see you, the county lord." ”

"Young Master Chu laughed, and when he returned to Beijing, he should go to accompany the princess first." Only Qiu Cheng himself knows that he is not afraid of being recognized just now, and there is a faint pressure brought to him by this person, Qiu Cheng can feel that this person is by no means a good person, but what is he seeing himself for? He called himself Chu, is that Chu Jin? Or someone who knew her before.

Chu Jin raised his glass and said, "County Lord, I haven't seen you for many days, so I have three drinks." ”

Drink? In this wine..., there won't be anything in it, you can't blame yourself for being too careful, you don't watch less TV series than usual, and you can't do without the heart of guarding against people, not to mention that this person has never shown up, across a paper screen, Qiu Cheng said, "It's getting late today, let's change the day." ”

As soon as she rejected Qiu Cheng, she felt pressured, "Miss Li, it's still the same as before, even if you don't know who it is, you dare to pounce on Chu Jin's appointment, but now it's going to change." I saw Chu Jin's expression lazy, walking out from behind the screen, raising the wine glass high and drinking it in his mouth, there was no wine in the cup, did he have too much heart.

Qiu Cheng looked at Chu Jin at the moment and said, I think if I don't come, I'm afraid I won't even be able to get out of the door.

Putting away the foreplay, Chu Jin finally got down to business, "Does the county lord know that the young lady downstairs wants to ransom Liu Shi away?" ”

"Well, I just found out, too."

"The county lord can know that a year ago, you wrote a book deed in Chu, the deed belongs to Ming, the county lord can redeem the body for Liu Shiruhua and others in March..., the lady downstairs insisted on coming to Chu for three days and two ends to make trouble to ransom Liu Shi, but Liu Shi refused to meet him, although Chu is an official, but he is also half a businessman, unspeakable and untrustworthy, left and right, Chu is also very embarrassed."

As he spoke, he took out a wooden box from the cabinet and put it in front of Qiu Cheng, "This book deed was set up by the county lord when he was drunk a year ago, and Feng Lian was also there at that time, but... I've never restricted his freedom, he just listens to you, this codex is yours, it's been here for more than three years, and now... The property is returned to its rightful owner. ”

Chu Jin smiled evilly, "County Lord, County Lord..., can the County Lord hear Chu, what he said just now?" ”

Yes, Qiu Cheng did hear it, and heard it clearly, surprised and surprised, and because of Master Li's behavior, he brought him huge trouble, not to mention how much trouble he brought so much trouble now? Let her be restricted by people everywhere, how different is this from history, Qiu Cheng turned over the codex, saying that it was a codex but it was actually a diary, which remembered everyone's things she had to do later, and a few remaining prescriptions, she was so good that she knew before, but now she brought such a big accident to herself, not to mention the trouble, there are so many people, the words on the deed are extremely ambiguous, and the implication is nothing more than waiting for himself to redeem himself, so that these people will all wait for him to be around, "always accompany him", don't say it first, Are you willing, the emperor is going to take her and kiss her in five years, but now she wants to redeem these men, just a flower is not what she is good at dealing with, and she has to "always accompany her side", that is, she wants to live in the county lord's mansion? Isn't that just a male pet in disguise? In this way, the emperor will never allow it, a little carelessness is between life and death, Qiu Cheng bit her lip, she is not righteous enough to put life and death out of the realm, but according to the current situation, if you don't do this, Liu Shi is unwilling, it seems that the young lady downstairs will definitely take Liu Shi away, it is bound to make everyone know, if you don't redeem these people, you will be threatened by Chu Jin, both left and right are dead, there is no way to crack it, she has been working hard, isn't it halfway, "What did you just say?" Qiu Cheng deliberately pretended not to know anything, and took a piece of paper deed handed over by Chu Jin, the deed was written simply and clearly, indeed as Chu Jin said, the red handwriting under the paper was written with Master Li's name, which was also seen by Qiu Cheng, Master Li's handwriting, this piece of paper can be imitated when she took it back later, she searched all over at the time and did not find a piece of paper with her handwriting, and she will not be seen by others in the future, but the most tricky thing now is that the person indicated on the deed still has two silver taels, 80 million taels, which is not a small amount, If she is ransome, where to find so many silver taels, at the least, she will reveal the rumors, or at the worst, if she attracts the attention of others, she will take the opportunity to make trouble..., now, she needs a little time to think about it and see if there is room for a turning point in this matter, how to solve this matter, but at this moment she doesn't admit that it is not okay, "I really forgot about this matter, I hurt my head a few days ago and forgot something, it is late today, I am tired, and I will come back tomorrow." ”

Hearing Qiu Cheng say this, Chu Jin didn't make any moves, "The county lord wants to sit and enjoy the blessings of the Qi people, it's not impossible, there are still one hundred and eight male pets under the prince, and His Majesty also opens one eye and closes one eye, the county lord shouldn't be a denier!" ”

Qiu Cheng couldn't see his expression, thinking that he really guessed this time, "If I don't recognize it, what will happen to you." ”

Chu Jin obviously didn't expect Qiu Cheng to be like this, so he suddenly lost his smile and said with a dangerous expression, "How can I do anything to the county lord, it's a big deal that Chu Jin will give it all to the county lord." ”

The air was instantly solemn, and Qiu Cheng said, "But I haven't thought about it yet, whether to accept it or not, and I don't want to do things that don't keep my promises, I'm always not at ease." ”

That Chu will wait for the good news of the county lord tomorrow," unexpectedly polite, Qiu Cheng pushed the door out, and heard Chu Jin's voice behind him, "If the group leader goes out in men's clothes next time, remember to put his hair in a slightly lighter bun, and Chu will wait for the county lord in the pavilion tomorrow." ”

This is cheap He kindly reminded him, even if Chu Jin didn't say Qiu Cheng, she also knew that her hair was too heavy and long, and she had long wanted to shave it thin, and it would be inconvenient to walk in the future, so it would be no surprise to be seen that it was a woman, "Hua Li, remember to help me find a knife when I go back." After she goes back, she has to think carefully about how to go in the future, and can't let too many accidents happen. Not to mention that if it is according to the current law, what will happen if she violates the agreement, what will happen to Chu Jin, just the emperor, Qiu Cheng can't act rashly, even if the emperor doesn't care about the prince, but she just doesn't want to, if it is her agreement to save Liu Shi, then saving other people is trouble, there is something wrong with more people, more things are better than less things, the carriage is driving in the night, sweeping all the way through the streets with occasional dead leaves, thinking quietly at night, like a deep cold, locked in the lonely courtyard Qingqiu, tonight is destined to be sleepless.

At this time, in the lotus hall....

"Why did you try your best to give Chu Jin the codex design she gave you, you know that I hate him the most."

Feng Lian said, "It's not just to save you, it's easier to act when there are more people." ”

"What if she doesn't want to?"

His eyes were deep but still smiling slightly, then I..., I can only kill anyone other than you.

Seeing that Liu Shi was embarrassed, Feng Lian smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't hurt people easily, tomorrow the county lord should come to me, and I will let Chu Jin let go when necessary." ”
