Chapter 37: Parting Ways
"Okay, you go out first, I'll call you if there's something." Walking into the room, Chang'an Wuhua sat in a familiar position, secretly thinking that if it was before, Xiao Zuo would start chattering about the important things inside the door again, while the others began to express their opinions. Most of the time, these big bosses disagree and fight after a few words, but after the quarrel, the depression disappears because of a glass of wine.
That's right, this is the place where Chang'an Wuhua used to discuss matters with his subordinates. Because Chang'an Wuhua is always running all over the world, sometimes he doesn't have time to return to the helm, so he temporarily finds a place to stay, and then gathers everyone over.
The scenes of the past are vivid, but where are the people at that time now? Are they all right?
Gently lowering his eyelashes, Chang An Wuhua sighed lightly, then got up and went to a place that Wang An'an had described.
On West Street, there is an old house on the back street, and the outside of the courtyard is covered with withered branches and leaves, which looks dilapidated.
Reaching out and knocking on the door, Chang An Wuhua found that the door was hidden, and when he touched it lightly, a gap was revealed.
"Excuse me, is there anyone in there?" Chang'an Wuhua asked loudly, but after a long time, there was no movement inside. Pushing the door open a little more, Chang'an Wuhua flashed into the courtyard and found that it was clean, as if someone had carefully cleaned it. There are still some daily necessities piled up in the small courtyard, and in the room, the charcoal used for heating still retains the temperature, and it seems that the owner here has just left.
Looking at the neatly packed dishes and chopsticks in the kitchen, Chang'an Wuhua knew that there was only one person living here, and few people patronized it.
Suddenly, Chang'an Wuhua smelled a strange aroma of wine, and it was getting closer and closer. Turning around leisurely, Chang An Wuhua looked at the door, and a young woman walked in.
Finding that there were people in the courtyard, Fang Yuling was also stunned, and then asked sharply: "Who are you, don't you know that breaking into a private house here is subject to criminal law!" Get me out! ”
"It was Wang An'an who asked me to come here. Oh, maybe you don't know the name, then, you've always heard of Chu Qi'an! Although the other party's attitude was very bad, Chang An Wuhua didn't take it to heart at all, and found a place to sit down, so that he could look at the woman opposite for a long time.
Fang Yuling was obviously a little flustered, she didn't know what this man was about, and how could she know the name of the second miss?
Just when Fang Yuling was speculating about the other party's intentions, Chang'an Wuhua spoke first: "I'd better say it directly." It was Chuqi Anto who found her sister, hoping that her sister would lead your people to resist the invasion of the Wild Heavens. ”
I thought that this woman in a fiery red dress would change her attitude towards herself after hearing Chu Qi'an's name, but she didn't expect that this woman was even more angry, and said angrily: "What kind heart can that woman have!" If it weren't for her, the eldest lady wouldn't have suffered so many sins for no reason, and she wouldn't have disappeared now! You go back and tell her that even if the eldest lady suffers, it is not easy to accept her help! ”
Fang Yuling's attitude made Chang'an Wuhua a little surprised. Secretly wondered, isn't the relationship between her and her sister as close as she described? Even, have you ever been motivated to murder?
Lowering his eyelashes, Chang An Wuhua smiled: "I don't know if there is any misunderstanding among you, and that's not something I need to care about." I just took Chu Qi'an's money and was responsible for helping her find Chu Qibi. As for any grievances between you, it has nothing to do with me. Girl, you'd better tell me what happened, lest you get into trouble with you. ”
"Hmph, joke, am I still afraid that you won't succeed? Even if the second lady comes in person, I won't cooperate with you! ”
"Don't you dare to cooperate?"
"What would I not dare!" Fang Yuling said loudly, "Don't say I don't know where the eldest lady is, even if I do, I won't tell you!" Who knows what harmful idea the second lady came up with this time, to harm the eldest lady. ”
"Are you sure it's a harm or a help? Why is it that the news I have heard from Chuzian is not the same as yours? ”
"How can she be embarrassed to tell the truth, she can't hide it!" Fang Yuling said angrily, "She is jealous that the eldest lady is better than her, even if she marries, she will let the eldest lady choose a husband first, and the rest can be the second miss's turn." And the second lady has been arrogant since she was a child and refuses to admit defeat, so she makes it difficult for the eldest lady to find her trouble. This time, there was a problem in the clan, and the second lady took the opportunity to make a difficulty, putting all the blame on the eldest lady. It's really pitiful, the eldest lady is also a woman, how can she afford the great cause of the clan? The eldest lady was unwilling to be insulted by the second lady like this, so she left secretly. You say, is it possible that such a second lady is really looking for the eldest lady? This is simply a cat crying mouse, fake compassion! ”
His brows furrowed slightly, and Chang An Wuhua said, "Do you think Chu Qi'an was jealous of Chu Qibi and deliberately bullied her?" But isn't her prestige in the Yenan clan very high, how can she be honestly bullied? Anyway, I'll fight back. ”
"What are you kidding, the eldest lady is just a woman, how can you use the power of the clan? And at that time, the group was struggling to fight against the invasion of the Wild Celestial Clan, who had the kung fu to take care of the fight between the women. ”
Hearing this, Chang'an Wuhua smiled.
I see.
Seeing that Chang'an Wuhua looked like he was there, Fang Yuling couldn't help asking, "What did you think of, like a cat stealing fish?" ”
"I'm laughing, you slave is really stupid."
Fang Yuling didn't know Chu Qibi's true identity, and the fight between Chu Qibi and Chu Qi'an was the smoke released by these two women to confuse others. Fang Yuling thought that Chu Qi'an was bullying his master, and even ran away angrily, so he didn't want to see her. Fortunately, Fang Yuling didn't come with him this time, otherwise, he wouldn't be able to come up with anything.
"Who do you say is the fool? I'm the most trustworthy person in the eldest lady! ”
Looking at the angry Fang Yuling, Chang An Wuhua said in a good time: "Since you said that you are Chu Qibi's most faithful maidservant, then you should tell me, where did she disappear?" What did you take with you when you left? Also, after all this time, you have never heard of her? ”
"Our eldest lady disappeared in this courtyard, and when she left, she didn't have any money with her, and she didn't arrange her clothes. Also, I also looked for news from the eldest lady, but I didn't find anything. Fang Yuling looked at Chang'an Wuhua unexpectedly, and used his own actions to "defend" his heartfelt heart to his master.
The corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, and Chang An Wuhua said softly: "Very good, thank you!" Then he bypassed Fang Yuling and left directly.
What does this mean?
Fang Yu looked at Chang An Wuhua suspiciously, secretly wondering what kind of origin this person came from, and why did he speak strangely?
Leaving the old mansion, Chang'an Wuhua smiled with a smile on his face, because he was now completely sure that Chu Qibi had been plundered. And the person who snatched her must be a member of the Wild Sky Clan. Now, he just had to wait for Wang An'an to find him.
Back at the inn, Chang'an Wuhua found that there were many people gathered outside the inn, pointing and pointing inside, and talking to each other. With his brows furrowed slightly, Chang An Wuhua looked at the people around him and asked, "This big brother, do you know what's wrong with this inn?" ”
"Oh, I heard that there are dead people in this inn, and the government is looking for clues."
"Dead? Who died? ”
"It's the shopkeeper of the inn, and I heard that the money was stolen, maybe the customers in the store are interested in getting rich! Now that everyone in the inn is being checked, it is estimated that Lord Fang will also come in a while. ”
When the person next to him heard this conversation, he seemed to be very interested, and he also came over and said with interest: "I heard that this murder was done by a foreigner, and the purpose is not just to make money. ”
"Brother, what's the inside scoop? Tell me about it! ”
"Hehe, my brother-in-law is working in the Yamen, and he told us that since the Yetian clan returned to the imperial court, it has caused panic among other clans, and I am afraid that the emperor will clean up the foreign clans one by one, and there will be no peace again. Therefore, those foreigners sent many warriors to the capital, wanting to assassinate the emperor in order to prevent future troubles. But those people don't look at what kind of place the capital is, and the emperor is also something they can assassinate? There must be no way to take revenge, and you can only wander around the capital all day. They also have some martial arts, and the prosperity of our capital has dazzled them, and they will do some murder and goods if they have nothing to do, and the yamen has already dealt with several things. I guess this time it was also done by the Gentiles! ”
"Oh, the emperor is just too merciful, what is polite to the outsiders, just sweep them away, those people don't have good thoughts at all, and it is in vain to be good to them. Hey, our capital, I'm afraid it's going to be uneasy. ”
"You can't say that, the emperor loves the people like a son, how can he sit idly by? Look, it won't be long before the emperor will make a move, so that those clowns who jump off the beam will not dare to act recklessly! ”
What the two people behind said, Chang'an Wuhua had no intention of listening to it anymore, so he quietly retreated and withdrew from the crowd. Looking up at the front, Chang'an Wuhua knew that the inn could not go back, otherwise he would definitely be the target of the investigation, and even cause unnecessary trouble. It's just that if he leaves, how can Wang Anan contact him?
With a blink of his eyes, Chang An Wuhua saw a few children playing on the side of the road, and suddenly thought of a plan.
Squatting beside those children, Chang'an Wuhua said: "Children, do you want to help the family earn some money, buy more chicken, duck and fish meat during the Chinese New Year, and have new clothes?" ”
"Think,"
Chang An Wuhua curled the corners of his lips slightly, and then said: "Then you will help your uncle do something, and after the matter is completed, your uncle will promise you to give each of you a piece of silver." ”
