Hu Wenhai was invited alone, and when he saw the wine and delicacies that were sent in like flowing water, he really couldn't guess what Xiao Qingyan wanted, and he couldn't help but feel worried in his heart.

He was about to leave, but Xiao Qingyan's figure appeared outside the door, completely clear, like a tree of ice and snow and cold plums.

Hu Wenhai hurriedly saluted: "Villain Hu Wenhai, I've seen Jiulang." ”

Xiao Qingyan stepped in slowly, and walked leisurely to the main seat and sat down.

Nowadays, the dining habit is to divide the table system, and eat at different tables, she pointed to the position of the lower hand: "Sit!" ”

Hu Wenhai was full of doubts, and sat down after saluting: "I don't know if Jiulang called the villain, but what are the instructions?" ”

Xiao Qingyan poured himself a glass of wine and smiled leisurely: "It's okay, I just want to ask the steward to accompany me to drink and enjoy singing and dancing." ”

The words fell, and the dancing girl flicked her soft water sleeves and fished in.

The colorful skirt is circulating, the wonderful eyes are looking forward to it, the fragrant wind is bursting on the face, Hu Wenhai is dizzy, and his mind is even more dizzy.

Which one is this little Langjun of the main family?

Hu Wenhai didn't understand, and Cao Lin and the stewards didn't understand it even more.

"Steward Cao, I heard that Jiulang only called Hu Wenhai alone, what did he want to do?"

"I heard that he asked the guards around him to catch a lot of teenagers and girls before, saying that they were looking for fun, but only the stupid man of the cripple would believe this, when all of us are fools?"

"Hu Wenhai won't sell us all, right?"

Listening to everyone's discussions, Cao Lin was still calm, and he took a sip of the new tea that had just been sent this year: "Hu Wenhai won't, you just have to rest assured, how many years have we been in this grange, can you still let a stinky child hold it?" Liang Xian, pass the word and let the people below get ready. ”

The steward named Liang Xian answered, turned around and went out.

When the stewards heard this, their faces became solemn, and some couldn't help but rub their hands quietly.

If you really get to that point, it's going to be a big deal......

About half an hour later, the lame horse limped in, and everyone in the room looked at him at the same time.

"Hu Wenhai is back?" Cao Lin asked.

"No, no," said the lame man, "the little one couldn't find out the news inside, only heard the sound of music inside, but only saw the guards brought by Jiulang carrying several large boxes of silk, gold and silver, and sent them to Steward Hu's house at this time, saying that Jiurou had rewarded Steward Hu." ”

The stewards gasped and turned pale.

"Hu Wenhai must have sold us! Otherwise, why would Jiurou reward him so much for no reason? ”

"This dog thing! I knew he couldn't control his mouth! ”

"Could it be the ploy of the Other? Deliberately provoked? In the midst of the insults, Liang Xian hesitated and looked at Cao Lin.

Cao Lin squinted his eyes, his eyes were unpredictable, and he was silent for a long time.

Liang Xian couldn't help licking his lips, feeling a little worried in his heart, he clearly spied a trace of cruel and cold murder in Cao Lin's eyes.

Among them, Hu Wenhai has the most iron relationship with Cao Lin, and he actually ......

There was a commotion outside the door, and Nie Yao came in with someone and glanced at it: "You are all here!" ”

Cao Lin got up with a cold attitude: "What do you have to say about Jiulang?" ”

"It's nothing," Nie Yao's gaze swept between the crowd and fell on Liang Xian, "Liang Xian? ”

A cold sweat broke out on Liang Xian's back, and he glanced at Cao Lin quickly, and he didn't want to reply in his heart, but Nie Yao had a sword at his waist, a heroic body, and an awe-inspiring momentum, and he didn't dare to be contemptuous.

Liang Xian walked out from behind the crowd slowly: "It's under it." ”

Nie Yao snorted lightly: "Young Master, please, come with us!" ”

Cao Lin clenched the teacup in his hand, his eyes gloomy.

The rest of the stewards became more and more sure of their previous guesses, it must be Hu Wenhai's bastard who sold them, isn't this clearly going to be liquidated one by one? ”

Soon after Nie Yao left with a worried Liang Xian, Hu Wenhai returned.

Seeing him, the stewards rushed up one after another, spitting stars straight into his face.

"You traitor dare to come back!"

"What did you say to Kuro? Did you sell us all? ”

Hu Wenhai was used to being arrogant, and pushed everyone away with a twisted eyebrow: "What are you all talking nonsense?" ”

Cao Lin opened his mouth and said, "Wenhai, Jiulang summoned you alone, and after staying for so long, what did you say?" ”

Hu Wenhai's face was full of confusion: "I didn't say anything, just let me sit and drink and enjoy singing and dancing with him." ”

"Humph! Who believes that? ”

"After going for half an hour, you didn't say a word, how many big boxes of wealth will people reward you? Why can't such good things take our turn? ”

Cao Lin's faint voice interrupted everyone: "Oh? That's all? ”

Hu Wenhai ignored others, and only said to Cao Lin: "It's really that's all, I sat there for half an hour, by the way, Liang Xian was not also called, when he comes back, you ask him." ”

The smile on Cao Lin's face slowly spread, and he was warm like a spring breeze: "Okay, I believe you." ”

He poured a cup of hot tea, got up and brought it to Hu Wenhai in person: "Wenhai, you are frightened, come, drink a cup of tea, suppress the shock." ”

Hu Wenhai lowered his eyes and looked at the tea in his hand and did not answer.

Cao Lin patted him on the shoulder, smiled, and turned around to get his cup of tea: "This tea is a little hot, if you don't dislike it, just exchange my cold tea for it." ”

As he spoke, he poured some tea into his cup and handed it to Hu Wenhai again.

Hu Wenhai raised his eyebrows and smiled: "How can you dislike it?" Thank you Steward Cao. ”

He took the tea, the temperature was just right, and Cao Lin, who was opposite, also took the half cup of cold tea in his hand and saluted him, and dried up.

Hu Wenhai drank the warm tea without any worries.

He breathed a long sigh of relief, and was about to step up to find a place to sit down, when suddenly there was a sharp pain in his abdomen, like a knife twisting.

He looked at Cao Lin: "You ......"

As soon as his mouth opened, a thick stream of black blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.

Cao Lin threw the white porcelain teacup in his hand to the ground, and his voice was cold: "I said that from the day you took the silver, you have to keep your mouth shut for me forever." ”

……

When Liang Xian was brought to Xiao Qingyan, the singing and dancing banquet had already been withdrawn, and only Xiao Qingyan was sitting on the main seat in the huge hall.

Liang Xian flicked his sleeves and saluted Xiao Qingyan respectfully: "Villain Liang Xian, I have seen the young master." ”

Xiao Qingyan bent the corners of his mouth, it was the first time since he came to this grange that he was so happy.

"You're a smart man, and if that's the case, you should know why I called you."

Liang Xian smiled lightly: "The villain knows, but the villain doesn't dare to say it, if the villain dares to confide half a word here and step out of this door, the villain's whole family will die." ”

He looked up at Xiao Qingyan: "With all due respect, even you, young master, don't know if you can step out of this door." ”
