Chapter 175: Not Dead
Mrs. Hu never left her house for a day, and she only embroidered in the house, rushed to sew and thread, or crooked herself in bed to cultivate her sex. It was not until evening, when he could not bear the request of his two sons, that Khufu went to walk around the courtyard twice.
And Li Shengxi took this opportunity to turn over Mrs. Hu's bed, and this flip really made her turn over to the machine.
When he touched the mechanism, Li Shengxun was surprised, this mechanism was cumbersome and complicated, and it was difficult for ordinary people to find it, and it was even more difficult to crack. Hu Wenruo is just a small county magistrate, and Mrs. Hu is also a mountain woman, how can they be like this.
Li Shengxun suppressed the doubts in her heart, she fiddled with it a few times, broke the mechanism, and smoothly touched a dark grid.
She took out the contents of the secret grid, the things in the secret grid...... It's not very valuable, but it's a little strange to appear at this time.
These are two strands of green silk tied together with a red rope.
"Married as husband and wife, there is no doubt about love." Li Shengxun murmured softly, since there is an alliance between knots and hair, and he has not abandoned it so far, where is there no affection, this is clearly deep and meaningful, since the love is deep and righteous, how can there be no sorrow? How can you only see superficial sorrow?
The death of a husband with whom the friendship was deep should not have been.
If so, then there is only one possibility......
Li Shengxing lowered her eyes, and she continued to look at this dark grid. As if she had seen something, she felt towards the inner wall of the dark grid, her eyes were shocked, and soon she fiddled with another mechanism in the dark grid, and soon, a secret passage opened. Li Shengxi walked in without hesitation.
Rong Zhi stayed in the Hu Mansion for another day and night, and it was not until the dawn of the second day that he saw Li Sheng coming in a hurry outside the door of the Hu Mansion.
"Mrs. Ning, why are you outside? I didn't see you that day, and I thought something had happened to you." Rong Zhi looked at Li Shengxing, who was safe and sound, and breathed a sigh of relief.
Li Shengxing shook his head, looked up and asked, "How is the warehouse?"
"There are a lot of expensive things missing. I inquired quietly about it, and it is said that Mrs. Hu let go of many slaves after Hu Wenruo's death, and remembering that many of them were old servants, and they were not well treated, she sold some utensils and distributed them to be counted as travel expenses." This is not unusual, but Rong Zhi always felt a little strange, it seems that he doesn't need so much money to make old servants, is it really the deep love of master and servant?
"By the way, where have you been this day?" Rong Zhi asked again, how long they can stay here for a short time, and if they don't go back, I'm afraid that others will be suspicious.
"I found a secret passage in Madame Hu's room."
Rongji frowned.
Li Shengxi raised her eyelids, her eyes were deep and playful, and she told all the ins and outs of what happened in Madame Hu's mansion.
Except, of course, how cumbersome the secret passage is.
Rong Zhi's originally constricted brows gradually relaxed, he quickly understood, his eyes were shining, and he said with a little excitement, "Hu Wenruo, not dead?"
"Quite possibly." Li Shengxing nodded.
Mrs. Hu and Hu Wenruo have a deep relationship between husband and wife, and if Hu Wenruo is dead, it is impossible for Mrs. Hu not to be sad, but she only has hypocrisy and sadness that is used to perfunctory the world, which shows one point - Hu Wenruo is very likely not dead.
If Hu Wenruo is shrewd, he naturally knows that the Zhou family will never let him go after the incident, and not only that, but it is very likely to kill him.
Mrs. Hu and Hu Wenruo are deeply in love, she can't bear her husband's death, and Hu Wenruo herself doesn't want to die, so the two teamed up to make a trick of fake death.
I'm afraid that the stampede at the beginning may not be all done by the Zhou family, but also because Hu Wenruo will plan it.
As for the scattering of house slaves, one is afraid that people will come and go to find the unknown secret road, although the secret road is cumbersome, but how to gamble easily in case of this? The second is that she is afraid that people will see her strangeness. Third, it was for the sake of suspicion and the reason that her friend was justifiable to sell the utensils - she naturally did not prepare for the domestic slave, she was to prepare the money for her husband.
"Where does that passage lead?"
"It's close to Xichang, and I don't know if he wants to stay
Defend Xichang or borrow land to go north." Hu Wenruo is really shrewd, in the realm of Jiangbei, the only place that the Zhou family can't reach, I'm afraid that there is only Xichang? borrowed Gu Lingxu as a protective umbrella to hide people's eyes and ears.
"Xichang...... This is convenient, calculate the time, and now Xiangchenghou should also finish "suppressing bandits." If you really enter Xichang, then things will be much easier.
He can't mobilize other officials, but Xichang is different, now they and Gu Lingxu have temporarily formed an alliance, and Xichang has Gu Lingxu to help.
Rong Zhi is rarely a little relaxed, Gu Lingxu is out of the forest, and Meng Gong goes south, then he can compete with the Zhou family, maybe things can be turned around.
Li Shengxing looked at Rong Zhi's appearance and guessed a few points. She lowered her eyes, if Meng Songyan came, what would Rong Zhi choose to do to her?
Rong Zhi has not broken her identity now, it is because he relies on her now, but if Meng Songyan comes, then she is an outcast, with Meng Songyan and Gu Lingxu here, Rong Zhi does not need to use him anymore. She was curious, would Rongzhi sell her backhand?
"What is Lady Ning thinking?" Rong Zhi saw Li Shengxing bowing his head and saying nothing, and couldn't help but have some doubts.
Li Shengxian shook his head, his expression was so deep that it was difficult to distinguish the depths, "I'm just thinking about one thing, if the birds are exhausted, should the good bow be hidden?"
Rong Zhi was stunned for a moment, but in an instant, he understood Li Shengxi's thoughts, and he was speechless again.
However, Li Shengxun did not intend to force Rong Zhi to make a choice at this time, after all, Rong Zhi is a person who does not hit the south wall and does not look back, and it is not time now. Moreover, her attitude towards Rongzhi has always been to go with the flow, and if she can, she will fight for it, and if she can't fight for it, she has no reason to leave herself an enemy.
Li Shengxi raised his hand, and was about to get on his horse and leave, when he heard Rong Zhi say: "If it can be used for hunting, it must be a customary bow, and there are endless birds, even if it is only temporary, if it is to be put away, it should be treasured for good life, not abandoned."
When Li Sheng heard this, his hand was stunned, and then as if nothing had happened, he turned over and got on his horse and looked down at Rong Zhi condescendingly.
His words are interesting, this is to make up his mind to treat her as an ordinary "Ning Rushuang"? Pretending to be confused, deceiving others and deceiving yourself?
Rong Zhi is this, he wants to go with the flow, sit and watch the development of the situation in Northern Qi, and wait for the time to move. Still is...... Guessed her thoughts, and wanted to make her let her down?
Li Shengxing didn't speak, Rong Zhi didn't speak, the two looked at each other quietly for a while, and then stepped on the stirrup and whipped away with Li Shengxian.
Rongji began to rot.
