Chapter 260: Hu Lai is looking for Xu Jing
Xu Jing's home was not far from the mansion, and Hu Lai passed through two alleys and soon arrived at the gate.
I was about to raise my hand and knock on the door when I suddenly heard someone talking in the courtyard.
It turned out to be two servants, a man and a woman, who were cleaning the yard.
I only heard the manservant say, "Sister Ji'er is so peugeot, I think if I look for someone in the future, I must also find a son of a high-ranking official's family, or a shop with a small owner." ”
The woman who was called Ji'er replied, "Brother Dong Hugh wants to make fun of me, where do I have such a blessing." Look at my family's Mrs. Xu, after marrying the master, hasn't she sighed all day long? If the master really sits in the position of the mansion, he will have three wives and four concubines in the future, and he will not leave my wife to death in the cold. ”
The manservant, who was called Brother Dong, groaned for a while and said, "That's right, our master is still just a cloth coat, and he is messing with flowers and grass like this outside, even his cousin ......."
Brother Dong suddenly stopped, as if he felt a little lost.
"Brother Dong doesn't have to be taboo, there are no outsiders here." Jill obviously understood what Brother Dong meant, and said with a smile.
Hu Lai outside the door was confused.
What did this manservant want to say, did Xu Jing and himself kill Wei Tu already known to them, or was there another reason?
Both of these people are known by Hulai.
A few days ago, Hu Lai and Xu Jing discussed the matter of getting rid of Wei Tu, and they often came here, knowing that the manservant's name was Dong Qian, and the maid's surname was Luo, and her nickname was Ji'er.
Hu Lai has also seen Xu Jing's wife, but this lady is frail and sickly, so people will feel tired for her.
Hearing that the two of them were no longer talking, Hu Lai slammed on the door hard.
Dong Qian opened the door.
"What should you be guilty of talking about the head of the family behind your back?" As soon as Hu Lai came in, he lowered his face and shouted.
Dong Qian saw that it was Hu Lai, and his face instantly looked a little nervous.
"Hu, Brother Hu wants to scare the villain, the villain is just idle and has nothing to do to fight with Sister Ji'er, and there is no discussion about the head of the family."
"Still want to deny it?" Hu Lai walked inside, turned around and said, "Wait for me to tell Lord Xu and see how you two explain." ”
Dong Qian was frightened and grabbed the corner of his clothes.
"Brother Hu, let go of the villain, don't let my lord and wife know."
Jill was also frightened and panicked, and ran over to keep saying goodbye.
"It's all to blame for the little woman's loss, and I hope that Brother Hu will pity the little woman, if the master knows, the little woman may never have a bright future."
Hu Lai pretended to be helpless, but reached out and pinched Jill on the face.
"For the sake of Jil's handsome little face, Uncle can not say anything. It's just ......" he looked at Dong Qian, "just now what did you say about Lord Xu and his cousin?" If you don't finish it honestly, Uncle will never hide it for you. ”
Dong Qian's face changed again.
"The villain is talking nonsense casually, Brother Hu must not take it seriously."
Hu Lai was in a hurry, turned his head and went inside again.
Jill also panicked, and grabbed the corner of Hu Lai's clothes.
"My lord is not here, so don't alarm my wife about this matter."
Hu Lai was stunned.
"Where did Lord Xu go?"
"I was invited by the government officials yesterday, and I haven't returned yet." Jill replied, "Could it be that Master Hu is doing business in the mansion and hasn't seen him?" ”
Hu Lai's eyes rolled.
This Xu Jing didn't go home, where did he go?
"So, you don't know anything about what happened in the past two days?" Hu Lai asked.
"The villain cleans the courtyard every day, does chores constantly, and hardly goes out, how can he know what happened to the mansion?" Dong Qian replied.
Jill nodded her head as well.
"The little girl stays by Madame's side all day long, and she only has time today to help Brother Dong do some work, and I don't know the news outside."
Hu Lai continued to roll his eyes.
"Well, even if you really don't know." He looked at Jill's face, "Then do you know where Lord Xu might have gone?" ”
Jill didn't know why, her little face turned red and looked at Dong Qian.
Dong Qian is also a little embarrassed.
After thinking about it, Dong Qian still said in a low voice, "The villain doesn't dare to guess the whereabouts of my master, but if Brother Hu really has something urgent to find him, you can go to Lord Wei's house to take a look, maybe ......."
Lord Wei of course refers to Wei Tu.
The people here still don't know the news that Wei Tu has died, presumably Xu Jing rushed to his house to report the funeral to his cousin-in-law.
Hu Lai was very happy that he finally had an excuse to go to Wei Tu's house, and he could see the Mrs. Wei who called him to think about it day and night, Hou Yinping.
Thinking of this, Hu Lai turned his head and walked out of the yard.
Dong Qian was still not at ease, and kept telling Hu Lai not to tell him what he had just done, until he got Hu Lai's nod, and then he was relieved to go back.
Hu Lai is not thinking about these things now, he only has the amorous Hou Yinping in his mind.
Wei Tu's home is far from being as grand as Xu Jing's home, from the outside, it is almost the same as the courtyard of an ordinary person's house, and there is only one maid, or this Mrs. Wei forced him to agree to find it after a few days of making a big fuss with Wei Tu.
The girl's name is Xiaohong.
At this time, she was sitting in the courtyard.
Wei Tu's home has only three rooms, the middle is Wei Tu and Hou Yinping's bedroom, on the left is Wei Tu's study and living room, and on the right is Xiaohong.
The door was not closed, and Hu Lai walked in.
Seeing Hu Lai, Xiaohong seemed to be startled and hurriedly stood up.
"Master Hu, you, why are you here?"
Hu Lai didn't answer, but his eyes only looked at the window in the middle, hoping to see Hou Yinping's figure.
Hu Lai was a little disappointed, there was no shadow of anyone in the window.
"My family is here?"
"Is Master Hu asking my cousin Xu Jing?" Xiaohong's expression seemed slightly nervous.
In the past, when Wei Tu was still there, Hu Lai came here, always with low eyebrows, and he also acted like a servant to Xiaohong, but now it is different, he doesn't want to continue pretending.
"What, how many cousins do you have in your family?" Hu Lai asked rhetorically.
Red took a few steps back, blocking the door in the middle. A low voice said, "No, not there." ”
Hu came to see that Xiaohong was obviously unconfident when she spoke.
Hu Lai was suddenly startled.
Could it be that this Xu Jing is really in Hou Yinping's room? The two of them were alone in the middle of the day, and there was nothing to talk about, but this Xiaohong's expression made Hu Lai very suspicious.
"I'll find it myself." Hu Lai suddenly stepped forward quickly, pushed Xiaohong away, and was about to rush into the house.
Xiaohong was also in a hurry, grabbed Hu Lai's arm, and pulled it back desperately.
Xiaohong had Hu Lai's strength, and seeing that one of his feet had already stepped into the house, Xiaohong was helpless and shouted loudly: "Madam, the government has sent someone." ”
As Xiaohong's voice landed, there was a crisp sound of "pop" in the room, as if something had been knocked over and fell to the ground.
Hu Lai pushed Xiaohong down and broke into the house.
There is only one table in the front of the room, and the space is not large, but on the back wall, there is a curtain, and a small door is faintly visible, and it is obvious that behind it is the bedroom of Hou Yinping and Wei Tu.
Hu Lai stood in the room, hesitating whether to continue rushing in.
Some people died, but not completely......
