Volume 1 The Money Bag Case Chapter 15 Hidden arrows are hard to prevent
Cong Xi was about to follow Mrs. Qu out of the main hall, and suddenly caught a glimpse of a white object rushing towards him, Cong Xi couldn't avoid it, and hurriedly raised his hand to cover his face, the white object hit the back of Cong Xi's hand, and immediately came with a sharp pain, and he didn't feel a cry of pain, and the white object then jumped to the ground. Congxi put down his arm and looked closely, it was a snow-white kitten, Congxi looked up and glanced at Hang Zhitong and Qu Miaozhi, Hang Zhitong's cat was still in his arms, and Qu Miaozhi's arms were empty.
Everyone stopped and looked at Congxi, and three blood marks appeared on the back of Congxi's right hand.
Old Madam Qu hurriedly walked to Congxi's side, stretched out her hand to support the back of Congxi's hand, looked at it for a while, and said, "Fortunately, the wound is not too deep, apply wound medicine, and it should be healed in a few days." ”
Old Madam Qu glared at Qu Miaozhi and was about to speak. Lan Chu's face was full of anger, and he had rushed to Qu Miaozhi, drawing his sword and pointing at Qu Miaozhi, who hurriedly took a step back.
Mrs. Qu immediately exclaimed: "What is your name Lan, is this wild girl's guard, what are you doing?" This is Qufu, is it your turn to be presumptuous, do you want to kill people here? ”
Lan Chu ignored Mrs. Qu, didn't blink his eyes, and still pointed at Qu Miaozhi, Qu Miaozhi was frightened and panicked: "I didn't mean it, I don't know why Gao Gao suddenly rushed towards Congxi, I really didn't mean it, it used to suddenly run out, it's just an animal, it's not a human, it's just stubborn, it's none of my business." ”
Qu Miaozhi looked left and right for everyone to help her testify.
Hang Zhitong hurriedly agreed: "Yes, Gao Gao used to suddenly run out, far away, originally obedient, I don't know why they suddenly rushed out, they seem to have their own likes and dislikes." Maybe Gao Gao doesn't like it for some reason. From the girl, the eldest young lady and Miss Yang Er have also seen it, right? Hang Zhitong turned his head to look at Yang Sishan and Yang Sizhen, Yang Sishan and Yang Sizhen hesitated for a moment and nodded slightly.
He walked slowly to Lan Chu's side, looked at Mrs. Qu and said, "She is my sister, her name is Lan Chu." Then he looked at Lan Chu: "Sister Lan, forget it this time, it's just a few blood marks, it's fine." ”
Lan Chu hesitated for a moment and put his sword back into its sheath.
Old Madam Qu looked at Qu Miaozhi and frowned: "Don't take it as an example, if it hurts people again, don't stay in the mansion." Old Madam Qu then glanced at everyone: "Okay, let's disperse." ”
And they all had their own thoughts, and they dispersed.
In the courtyard of Qu Mansion, Qu Zaifan glanced at Yang Sishan, Yang Sizhen, and Bai Ning and said: "I'll go directly to the Yamen, you guys are tired of traveling day and night, go back and rest first." ”
Yang Sishan hurriedly said, "Wait a minute." Then he pulled Qu Zaifan arm to the side, and said in a low voice: "Zaifan, what's going on?" What did my grandmother say about my dream, is it fake? Why did Zaichen suddenly marry a strange woman, that Cong girl is really special, she is really Zai Chen's wife? ”
Qu Zaifan couldn't help but smile: "It's not just special, every word in the hall can be called shocking." She is the granddaughter-in-law of her grandmother's fancy, the dream is fake, and it is true that everyone is married, but it is also true that Zaichen voluntarily marries Congxi, then Congxi is Zaichen's wife, we don't have to worry about other things, you better comfort Sizhen. ”
Qu Zaifan turned around and left.
Yang Sishan walked back to Yang Sizhen's side, glanced at Yang Sizhen with pity, Yang Sizhen immediately noticed, and said softly: "Sister, you don't have to feel sorry for me, I know he doesn't like me, and he won't like me, even if he doesn't follow the girl, there is also the county lord, Miss Hang, I can look at him from a distance and be content, from the beginning I didn't expect anything, I suddenly knew that he was married, I was really heartbroken, and it would be okay in two days, I still looked at him from afar." ”
Yang Sishan felt more and more pity: "But Zaichen has already married, you and him will not have any more results, do you keep looking at him from such a distance?" ”
Yang Sizhen sighed helplessly: "I can take a few more looks, and then hide him in my heart and continue to live." ”
Bai Ning sighed after hearing this: "I'm afraid that the person I like can only hide in my heart, he has been staring at that congxi today, and he hasn't even looked at me." ”
Yang Sishan and Yang Sizhen were stunned, did Yun Xian also like to be obedient.
I got up too early today, and I had another argument with Mrs. Qu, I felt tired, returned to Youyunyuan, bandaged the scars on the back of my hands, and went back to the bedroom to sleep until mid-noon, and was woken up by a few cat meows. After lunch, from Xi, Congran, and Lan Chu paced to Yun Xian's manufacturing room, there were all kinds of thick and short bamboo strips in the room, colorful, all kinds of silk silk, Yun Xian sat at the table in front of the window and fiddled with a lantern stand, from the three of Xi looked at the half-sound, Yun Xian raised his head: "How long have I been stealing from school, how much tuition I calculate?" ”
Congxi sat down on the stool opposite Yun Xian: "Do you think we are stealing, we are above board, I didn't expect your skills to be very good, these lanterns are changeable in color, different forms, all kinds of things without duplicates, this. The willow tops on the moon, this. The yellow oriole on the branch chirps, the one in your hand is the snow falling on the green pine? ”
Yun Xian: "Of course, haven't you ever been to the Jinqiao Night Market, my son's lanterns are all queued up to buy." ”
Congxi: "I believe that it must look good when lit up at night, at least, I like it a lot, seriously, teach me, when I am healed, I will also make lanterns and sell them on the street, and there is one more skill to make money, and Sister Lan, Congran, do you want to learn?" ”
Lan Chu nodded calmly.
Yun Xian: "Don't you go to Tianxue Fang to dance?" ”
Congxi: "Go, but I didn't go every day, I wanted to go or Sister Ru was too busy to save the scene, Sister Ru thought that going to the song and dance studio to dance was not good for my reputation, and I didn't want to go." ”
Yun Xian: "Sister Ruwish is the owner of Tianxuefang, and she seems to have a good heart. Naturally, either let him paint, or let him make lanterns, I didn't see you let him study and career, and glorify the lintel? ”
Congran interjected: "My sister said that as long as you don't steal or rob, do things properly, and live diligently, you can do whatever I like, you don't have to compete with others, and you don't have to get ahead, and you will shine on the lintel." ”
Yun Xian smiled: "Others will definitely say that your sister is wrong." ”
Cong Xiwaner: "Will Yun Gongzi know?" ”
Yun Xian smiled heartily: "No, a hundred agree." The apprenticeship is saved first, come, and the teacher will start teaching now by word and deed. ”
Yun Xian put the lamp stand in his hand aside, reached out and grabbed a handful of bamboo sticks, was stunned for a moment, and looked at the door: "In the dust, Luo Yi, what are you two doing at the door without saying a word?" You two are rare guests, I have three chairs in this room, two of them are almost idle, and you just came to grab the Lord today? ”
Qu Zaichen ignored Yun Xian, looked at Congxi and said, "Luo Yi said that you ran out of trauma medicine and brought you a bottle." ”
Qu Zaichen raised his hand and threw a white medicine bottle to Congxi.
Congxi stretched out his hand to catch it and said: "Luo Yi told me, the medicinal materials required to prepare this wound medicine are extremely valuable, so the effect of the medicine is particularly good, but you don't have to be so stingy, just give one bottle, you should have many bottles, right?" ”
Qu Zaichen stared at him without saying a word.
Congxi: "Okay, one bottle is one bottle, you specially sent me medicine?" ”
Qu Zaichen: "Aren't you waiting for me?" If I don't come, you'll come to my room to look for me. ”
Congxi: "Why, I can't go to your room to look for you?" What are you doing in the room yourself, you can't let others see it... Affair? ”
Qu Zaichen stared at Congxi and didn't speak.
Congxi: "Okay, you asked, who sent a message to Mrs. Qu and asked them to hurry back to Jinzhou?" Also, my life situation, Mrs. Qu and they just came back, it is impossible to know such a clear and detailed situation, and someone told them in advance, right? ”
Qu Zaichen took out a few notes from his sleeve and handed them to Congxi: "These are the ones they found under the door of the residence and on the carriage, the paper is ordinary paper, the ink is ordinary ink, and the traces of the words are deliberately hidden. ”
Congxi took it, read it carefully, and told Mrs. Qu the content of the paper that Qu Zaichen became a relative and Congxi's life experience, and there was nothing else. Cong Ning frowned: "The person who left the note should also be the one who sent someone to my house to kill me, who is it?" For the second son of Qu, you are so desperate, you really spare no effort to get rid of me and then quickly, it should not be Hang Zhitong, Yang Sizhen, Feng Nianqing, when the Qu family sent the invitation, they were already far away in Jingning Temple, it is impossible to get the news of our marriage so quickly, however, it cannot be ruled out that it was done by people close to them.
Qu Er Gongzi, you really don't know who she is? Or if you declare to the public that you are moved by her infatuation and decide to marry her, maybe she will automatically show up and give you a hug, and we will know the mastermind behind the scenes? ”
Yun Xian smiled: "I think this is a very good idea. ”
Cong Ran, Luo Yi lowered his head and smiled, Lan Chu looked at Cong Xi with a worried face.
Qu Zaichen did not change his color and said: "I will send someone to protect you secretly." ”
Congxi: "It's still not necessary, I'm not used to being watched all the time, what's more, the hidden arrow is difficult to prevent, no matter how many people you send to protect me, there are times when there are hundreds of secrets, or I think of a way to let that person die."
After saying that, he really lowered his head and pondered.
After half a ring, Congxi raised his head again: "Did those two killers find clues?" ”
Luo Yi replied: "No, all the medical centers have been checked, and no one with an injured left arm has gone to be treated, and those who went to the pharmacy to buy trauma medicine, we have also followed up and checked, and nothing has been found; There is a small mole on the back of the hand, which is relatively common and difficult to detect, and there are no clues yet. ”
Congxi frowned and thought: "Acting so cautiously, but only sending two people to my house that night to assassinate, it should be a sudden, impulsive act, now she is steadily hiding, and then looking for clues, I'm afraid it is not easy, I still need to think of a way to draw salary from the bottom of the kettle, so that she can die, and I can be safe." ”
After finishing speaking, he looked straight at Qu Zaichen, Qu Zaichen had a not very good feeling, and turned to leave.
