Chapter 37: The Price
"There are a lot of people staring over there." Old Man Zhou's eyes were solemn and he said in a deep voice.
Wu Chanjuan has been known as a "saint" since she was a child because of her heavy pupils, if she was not born in the four major mansions and could not marry the royal family, she would have been summoned into the palace by the empress dowager early in the morning.
But even if she couldn't enter the palace, the people in the palace never gave up paying attention to her.
Not to mention the maids and guards sent by the Duke of Wu, there are people from the clan staring at her outside, people from the Empress Dowager staring at her, people from the Queen Mother staring at her, and even the emperor has people placed in the Duke of Wu's Mansion to watch Wu Chanjuan's movements.
And Old Man Zhou also knew that in addition to these centaurs, there was another extremely hidden force, which had been around her since the day Wu Chanjuan's eyes showed heavy pupils.
Therefore, when Zhou Huaixuan arranged the manpower to go to Wu Guogong's Mansion, he only placed people near Zheng Suxin, and did not place any manpower around Wu Chanjuan, so as not to be discovered by people with intentions, and it would be bad to have extraneous branches.
And so many people are staring at Wu Chanjuan, but she can still be killed in bed without knowing or noticing, the murderer's ability, tsk, is really extraordinary.
Old Man Zhou narrowed his eyes, and a sly smile appeared on his childish face, "Xuan'er, grandfather has always thought that only you have such a ability, and under many obstacles and surveillance, you can quietly kill people invisibly!" Old Man Zhou said, and made a gesture of cutting off his head with a knife.
The corners of Zhou Huaixuan's eyes jumped uncontrollably.
"Grandfather praised it. I don't have that much ability. Zhou Huaixuan shook his head casually, "This matter is obvious, there are people who should cooperate with each other." Guards steal from themselves. β
Old Man Zhou was stunned. He pondered for a moment. Surprised: "You mean, the people who are staring at her did it?" β
"There must be someone staring at her involved." Zhou Huaixuan had indeed killed people under heavy surveillance, so he knew very well that if this kind of thing was to be done unknowingly and unknowingly, there was only one possibility, and that was to get rid of the people who were surveilling......
"That's a problem." Old Man Zhou stood up and walked back and forth in the study with his hands behind his back, "Guarding and stealing...... The masters of those men do not know if any of their men have betrayed ......."
Zhou Huaixuan did not speak again. His brow furrowed almost imperceptibly.
For him, there was no need to pay attention to this matter at all, and it would be a waste of his time to think about it any more.
Zhou Huaixuan stood up, nodded lightly to Old Man Zhou, and turned around to leave.
was about to step out of the threshold, but saw Zhou Da Steward hurriedly coming in from outside, and said with a stern face: "Master, Lord Cheng of Dali Temple is invited!" β
Old Man Zhou was stunned, "Please me?" Do what? β
The steward of Zhou has already asked the yacha of Dali Temple outside, and the yacha is entrusted by Wang Zhiquan. It was also intended to send a letter to the Divine General's Mansion, so he saw the famous Zhou Steward of the Divine General's Mansion. Then the yacha told all the reasons.
As soon as Steward Zhou heard this, he knew that things were even stricter than they had thought before.
ββ¦β¦ Lord Wang asked someone to send a message, saying that the matter of Miss Wu Er had a little to do with our Divine General's Mansion. β
Old Man Zhou and Zhou Huaixuan both looked over.
Steward Zhou didn't dare to look up at the eyes of the two masters, lowered his head and continued: "...... Lord Wang said that in the place where Wu Ermei was killed, a note was found that read, 'Heavy pupils are lost, and the saint is hidden.' When the wind and clouds change, God will prosper! Four Sentences ......
After Old Man Zhou and Zhou Huaixuan listened, they didn't look particularly surprised on their faces.
Steward Zhou raised his head, glanced at the two masters quickly, and gradually settled down in his heart.
"You go down first, Xuan'er, come in with me." Old Man Zhou thought about it and took Zhou Huaixuan to the quiet room inside.
In fact, it was a well-built secret room.
I can't see the clues from the outside, and only when I go in does I know that there is a hole inside.
Steward Zhou and Zhou Xianbai were like two door gods guarding the door of the outer study.
Zhou Huaixuan followed Old Man Zhou into the quiet room and sat opposite each other on both sides of the chess table in the quiet room.
"I really didn't expect that this incident would still involve our God General's Mansion." Old Man Zhou said with a smile.
Zhou Huaixuan bowed slightly, "As expected." β
It would be strange if they hadn't been dragged in.
Unless Wu Chanjuan was killed by their people, no matter who killed her, she would definitely have to backhand the Black God General's Mansion once.
The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it.
What's more, the Divine General's Mansion has been prominent in the Great Xia Dynasty for more than a thousand years.
"Are you afraid?" Old Man Zhou asked Zhou Huaixuan with a bright face, as if he was extremely excited about this upcoming challenge.
Zhou Huaixuan just glanced at Old Man Zhou, but did not speak, and the indifferent expression on his face indicated that he felt that Old Man Zhou was very redundant and boring to ask this question.
Old Man Zhou understood what Zhou Huaixuan meant, and said with a smile: "That's right!" Since we are standing in this position, we can't look ahead and look backwards, fear wolves in the front and tigers in the back! β
Zhou Huaixuan bowed his head and said: "No matter who it is, if you want to stir up the Divine General's Mansion into it, you must pay the price." β
This price is not the price of slapping you and paying you a date.
This price is the price that if you dare to stretch out your hand to provoke, you will have to bear the price of total destruction!
At the beginning, the Empress Dowager's maiden family, the Marquis of Changyuan's Mansion, was just anxious, and stretched out her hand to the Shengguo Mansion, and was cut off by Zhou Huaixuan.
This time, someone tried to reach out to the Divine General's Mansion - it was not only someone who was impatient, but also whose whole family was impatient......
Zhou Huaixuan squinted, reached out and took a white piece from the chess box in front of him, put it on the chessboard, and said lightly: "Send a team of 100 people to the Shengguo Mansion and stay for a while." β
Someone has opened a net to the Divine General's Mansion, and the Shengguo Mansion, which has become the in-law of the Divine General's Mansion, may also be impacted.
And the Sheng family is thin and can't withstand a little wind and waves.
Old Man Zhou nodded, "It should be." β
Whoever doesn't give the Sheng family a way to live is not to give face to the gods.
And not to give face to the gods. The Divine General's Mansion doesn't need to give you a way to live......
This is the principle of the Divine General's House.
ββ¦β¦ Our Divine General's Mansion is very reasonable. As long as they listen to us. Naturally, you can get along without trouble. Old Man Zhou said with a smile. Place a sunspot on the board as well.
As soon as Zhou Huaixuan saw Old Man Zhou's chess routine, the green tendons on his forehead exploded, he threw the chess pieces in his hand, and said indifferently: "These days, when I am not in the house, Ah Yan will come to play chess with my grandfather." β
"Huh?!" Old Man Zhou rubbed his hands in surprise and joy, "Are you serious?!" - Come on! Let's high-five! A gentleman's word, the horse is difficult to chase! "I'm afraid that Zhou Huaixuan will regret it.
Knowing that Zhou Huaixuan agreed to let Sheng Siyan come to play chess with Old Man Zhou. Just for the sake of Sheng Siyan's safety, Old Man Zhou was so happy that he was about to faint. ββPeople who don't know chess will not understand the loneliness of Mr. Zhou's "chess opponent and good talent......
Zhou Huaixuan nodded lightly, and said, "I'll take Xianbai to Dali Temple." Grandfather doesn't have to go. β
Old Man Zhou smiled and nodded, "Of course I won't go." "I want to call and leave the old man Zhou, even the emperor and the empress dowager in the palace don't have such a big face.
Both of them were very respectful to Old Man Zhou, not to mention others?
Zhou Huaixuan and Old Man Zhou agreed on a few more things, and they heard the Grand Steward Zhou say loudly at the door: "The fourth prince has come back from the Duke of Wu's mansion!" β
Old Man Zhou was stunned, "Huaili went to the Duke of Wu Mansion?" β
Zhou Huaixuan didn't answer, and looked at the chessboard in front of him with faint eyes.
Old Man Zhou got up and walked out of the quiet room. Asked Zhou Da Steward, "What about Huaili?" β
Steward Zhou bowed at the door and said, "Just now, Menzi came to report." said that the fourth prince had just returned from the Duke of Wu's mansion, and now he had gone to the second gate. β
"When did he go?"
"Yesterday, the old man Wu sent someone to invite the fourth prince over, and I heard his little servant say that the fourth son was drunk there yesterday, so he rested there. As a result, the incident with Miss Wu Er happened in the morning, and he delayed until now to come back. Steward Zhou said, looked at the sky, it was almost evening.
"Oh? He was actually in the Wu Guogong Mansion last night? Old Man Zhou was a little surprised, "Then when something happened to the Duke of Wu's mansion, wasn't he there?" β
Steward Zhou bowed, "It should be." He added: "Menzi said that the eyes of the fourth prince were red, as if he had cried." β
"Miss Wu Er is his cousin, and the two are childhood sweethearts, and they may even talk about marriage. Suddenly one person dies and the other is impossible not to be sad. Besides, Huaili is softer than Xuan'er......" Old Man Zhou sighed lightly, and he was not without sympathy for Zhou Huaili.
Old Man Wu's thoughts, Old Man Zhou also knows a few points.
To be honest, Zhou Huaili is no longer the heir of the Divine General's Mansion, and Old Man Zhou actually doesn't care who he marries.
No matter who Zhou Huaili marries, he will be separated and singled, and he will have nothing to do with the Divine General's Mansion.
If Zhou Huaili really likes his cousin, Old Man Zhou can also be an adult.
But no one expected that things would evolve to this point.
Old Man Zhou pondered for a long time and said, "Prepare a thick funeral ceremony and send it to the Duke of Wu's mansion." By the way, tell Sanfang, Huaili's family affairs, ask them who they like, while my old man is still a little useful when he speaks, help Huaili settle the family affairs. β
Old Man Zhou came forward to make a kiss, and Old Man Wu is always difficult to interfere.
Before, Old Man Wu probably also saw that Old Man Zhou didn't want to care about Zhou Huaili's family affairs anymore, so he frequently engaged in three or four things.
"Lao Wu has been a little too much lately." Old Man Zhou said lightly, "Just teach him a lesson." β
"Yes, sir." Steward Zhou bowed in response, immediately left the outer study, and while instructing people to prepare the ceremony, he personally went to the Furong Willow Pavilion in the third room to deliver a message to Lord Wednesday.
Zhou Huaixuan took Zhou Xianbai to Dali Temple.
