Chapter 41: Bad Intentions

"Now that Brother Lin has been killed, this matter is the same whether you talk about it or not." The emperor hesitated, and no longer had the decisive temperament to kill and kill on weekdays, so he refused to say anything for a long time. He rubbed his fingers, frowning slightly, looking a little embarrassed. Beichenqu is really going to be anxious to death, and wants to urge him, but seeing that he looks like this, it is not easy to speak, and he wants to stop talking and desire.

"Since it's all the same, there's no need to say more." Beichenqu's wife, Xue Shan walked out of the back hall, she lifted the white curtain, glanced at Huangfu She, and sat next to Beichenqu with a slight salute.

As soon as she heard that he was coming, she knew that it must be no good, and she hurried over, and it seemed that she had arrived in time.

"Hahaha, my brother and sister are also there." Huangfu smiled wryly, a trace of impatience and fierceness flashed in his eyes, but he then said kindly, "It's just a little matter between Brother Lin and Qi'er, and you don't want to hear it, so I won't talk about it." ”

"Brother Huangfu might as well order incense first." She said and handed over the incense, thinking about how to send Huangfu back, but he said quietly, "Speaking of which, since Mr. Huangfu has come to my Beichen Mansion, I Beichen should also go to the Huangfu Mansion to offer condolences to mourn." ”

Before the emperor could speak, she picked up the handkerchief again, wiped her tears, the tears dripped like pearls, and the crying pear blossoms brought rain to make people feel so pitiful, she said a little choked, "My Xiaomin has always had a good relationship with Xiaotang, and he lamented when he thought of Xiaotang these days." Brother Huangfu, please take him to see Xiaotang. She began to sob again.

Beichen Qu on the side was stunned when he saw this scene, who didn't know that Beichen Min and Huangfu Yintang had been looking at each other unpleasantly since they were children, and every time they met and quarreled, they were all done directly, and they were just in time to meet the enemy. Xue Shan came out like this, so that he was confused, and he was stunned for a while, and he asked puzzledly, "But Xiaomin and Xiaotang are not ......"

Before she finished speaking, she called out to the back hall, "Xiao Min, come out quickly, your Uncle Huangfu is here." ”

If he really waited for Beichen Min to come out, then he really couldn't say what he was going to say today, so he hurriedly pretended to be extremely sad, and sighed, "Speaking of Xiao Min, I think of Xiao Qi, he died unjustly, and Brother Lin is even more wronged!" ”

"What the hell is going on?" As soon as Beichen Lin and Beichen Qi were mentioned, Beichen Qu was even more anxious, he had just been hung up on his appetite, and he was even more anxious at the moment.

"I didn't want to say it, I'm afraid you won't be at ease. It's just that if I don't say it, I'm afraid that the soul of the deceased will be uneasy. He shook his head and sighed, like a sad picture of 'I'm all for your good.'

"No, Brother Huangfu, ...... you say" Before he finished speaking, Beichen Min walked out, he was injured in the competition a few days ago, and his face was still a little pale these days, but he responded to what Xue Shan said, and when he heard that Huangfu was involved, he naturally understood what the situation would be now. In the past few days, he has been watched very strictly, and it is difficult to go to the inn to find it, so as not to expose his whereabouts. However, a few of them have sent him a lot of secret letters in the past few days, and they have made it clear before and after, and he has also understood a general idea, and now he will naturally not let him succeed.

"Uncle Huangfu, I want to go and see Brother Yintang." With his already somewhat pale face and this slightly sad tone, I don't know how deep my friendship with Huangfu Yintang is, "Let's go now." ”

"What are you going to do?! You go ghost! Beichenqu finally couldn't sit still, got up to stop his son a little impatiently, turned his head to look at Huangfu She, and then said, "Ah, ah, Brother Huangfu, I didn't mean that, I mean I'm not ready today, it's not too late to go tomorrow, we must prepare a generous gift and go again." "Anyway, I'm going to go to the inner hall with the emperor.

Xue Shan wanted to say something, but was scolded back by Beichenqu, "Men speak, what is the matter with you women!" "Said that he hurriedly pulled the emperor back to the inner hall.

Xue Shan was stunned in place, she looked at Beichen Qu's back helplessly, turned her head and whispered to Beichen Min, "Idiot, what a hopeless idiot!" Angry and gritted his teeth, Beichen Min had no choice but to pull Xue Shan when he saw this, his mother has been a little insane for some reason over the years, often cloudy and uncertain, and it is very terrifying to get angry, he hurriedly said, "Dad must be too anxious, mother, you are thirsty, you go back to rest first." Saying that, he called Xue Shan's personal maid Hongyu, so that he could persuade her to go down. Originally, I wanted to go to the inner hall to have a look, but I was afraid that Beichen Qu would be fooled, but just as I was about to knock on the door, the emperor inside came out, his eyes were full of triumph, but he still pretended to be sad and regretful and patted Beichen Min's shoulder, "You go in and see your father, I'm afraid he is not in a good mood." ”

Beichen Min knew that he was late, so he still pretended to be puzzled, and asked worriedly, "What happened?" ”

"Your father...... Alas. Huangfu didn't say anything more, just sighed and turned away, although he said this, his steps were much lighter, and he seemed to be in a good mood.

Beichen Min turned around, his eyes were about to turn to the sky, he wanted to go in, but as soon as Beichen Qu saw him, he said angrily, "I want to be quiet, you go out first." ”

"Yes." He knew that it was useless to stay here, and he could not listen to anything he said to him now, so he saluted respectfully and turned back.

It has been three days since the martial arts conference, and although there are still many people secretly discussing the matter of Beichen Qi and the evil medicine, no one has made a bird, and they are still one of the three major families, so few people really dare to go to Beichen Mansion to make trouble. The people of Beichen Mansion seem to be preparing to pack up and go back to Nandu these days, this is not their home field, it is more comfortable to go back to Nandu, as for the funeral, they planned to leave after a hastily arrangement, and planned to go back directly with the corpse.

I heard that Beichenqu also had a big quarrel with Xue Shan because of this incident, and Beichenqu insisted on a thick burial to appease Beichenlin's spirit in the sky. But out of family considerations, Xue Shan felt that it was not appropriate to do a big job, which would cause resentment in the rivers and lakes, and she was even more afraid that an accident would occur if she stayed here for a long time. The two of them pushed the cup and smashed the lamp for this, scaring the people outside, Beichenqu also slapped Xue Shan hard, slammed the door and left, the movement was very loud, but the people seemed to be surprised.

In the end, it was the other clansmen of the Beichen family who came forward to persuade them, and finally changed it to help the funeral hastily first, and returned to the southern capital for a grand funeral.

——————————

is cleaning up, the whole house is full of people coming and going, moving from east to west, and everyone is busy for a while. This time, the Beichen family made a lot of face, and they hurriedly walked away with their tails between their legs, so their movements were not very noisy, for fear of making people laugh, and the carriages transporting the goods stopped at the back door. I was halfway through the packing, but I heard the front door seem to be noisy, quite noisy.

The people who were still carrying things in their hands were stunned in place, and a few people who were close to put down their luggage in their hands and poked their heads out to look at the situation outside the door, only to see a group of people gathered at the door, most of them holding weapons in their hands, one by one with angry eyes, and the momentum was violent, and the posture was not good. A subordinate hurriedly ran to Xue Shan to report the situation at the door.

Xue Shan was counting the things to be moved away with the housekeeper, and when she heard the news, she was shocked, there was nothing major in the past few days, she thought that things could pass like this, but she didn't expect that what should have come came. Fortunately, she had already prepared, and I saw that she sent someone to invite Beichen Yuan and Yunrou County Lord to come over.

Even if you are a person in the rivers and lakes, you have to weigh it in front of power. Although the lord of Yunrou has no power or power, his father is the prince, one of the sons of the first emperor, and his own brother on the pilgrimage. No one dared to risk killing their heads to move Beichen Mansion.

Xue Shan turned to the people behind him and said, "Don't panic, just move, I'll just go out." Her face was calm and calm, and her tone was unquestionably firm, those subordinates had also seen strong winds and waves, and at this moment, there was a lady who came forward. She has always been vigorous and resolute, and she has a lot of prestige in the house, and the people have settled down for five or six points, and when they receive the order, they respectfully reply and then go about the work at hand.

Xue Shan stood at the door and glanced around, the people who came were all some rangers, or people from unknown sects, and there were no people who could be named. Seeing this, she said sharply, "Beichen Mansion is not a vegetable market, so I can't allow you to make a mistake here!" "There is a sense of sophistication and coercion in her voice, which makes people subconsciously obedient." You want to come here to mourn, but the funeral in my Beichen Mansion has been completed, and you can go back. ”

The group of people who were originally clamoring gradually quieted down, although there were still many people muttering in private, but the situation was not as out of control as it was just now.

"What are you afraid of! It's the Beichen family who doesn't take advantage of it! A tall man stood up, he drew his sword and raised it to point at Xue Shan and shouted. It should be him who instigated everyone to find trouble.

"Hmph." Xue Shan snorted sarcastically, and then the guards beside him slammed the sword, and the sword was instantly shattered inside, and the fragments slashed across the tall man's face and neck, and blood flowed down. With another slap, he slammed the tall man into the air, slamming the man into the wall behind him, spitting out a mouthful of blood. The group of people froze in place, whispering one after another, the tall man is also a name in the rivers and lakes, and he can be regarded as having some prestige.

They didn't want to stir up trouble, but they couldn't stand him, saying that they had the support of the Huangfu family behind him, and he even showed the personal token of the Huangfu. That's when everyone gathered to make trouble, who knew that he would be beaten down so easily. In the next second, the tall man trembled and held up a token, and he said loudly, "In Xia Shen Zheng, Huangfu first came here to accuse Beichen Mansion of using evil medicine for private purposes, and everyone in the evil demon and foreign way will be punished!" ”

"Joke, what evidence do you have to prove that our Beichen used evil medicine, if there is no evidence, then you are falsely accused, I can go to the yamen to cure your crimes." Xue Shan looked at the token, which was indeed a token of the Huangfu family, and couldn't help but be surprised. She didn't expect that the Huangfu family had come to this point, and they would blatantly want to tear their faces with them. But she still has to pretend to be calm, and she can't lose her momentum in front of this kind of dog-fighting person.

"Naturally, there is evidence, as long as you hand over Beichen Qi's corpse, we will know it as soon as we examine it." Shen Zheng patted the ashes on his body, wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth, tidied up the clothes on his body, and saw that Xue Shan didn't speak for a long time, so he straightened his waist and continued, "If you can't hand over the corpse, then you are a thief." ”

"My Beichen Mansion has always been sitting upright, what are you, why do you need to prove it to you." Xue Shan looked up and down with disdain, coarse cloth clothes, but he was just a child of an ordinary family, and he dared to argue with the Beichen family, which was really ridiculous.

"It's not to prove it to me, but to prove it to the entire people in the rivers and lakes!" Shen Zheng said it righteously and convincingly. But Xue Shan is not a bully either, she snorted coldly, "Beichen family proof? You can't come to us with evidence yourself, do you have proof? ”

"Mrs. Xue," Shen Zheng looked at her with some resentment, his eyes seemed to be looking at a traitor, "You are also from this Jianghu fight, a daughter, and you have no background, only to be suppressed." I thought you would be different, but I didn't expect that now that I am sitting as Mrs. Beichen, I will begin to collude with them. He smiled as if self-deprecatingly, "It's really dark for those who are close to ink." ”

With this temperament and these words, Xue Shan was slightly stunned for a moment, as if she had fallen into some memory.

"This young man, please don't open the topic, it's clear that you are the first to stir up trouble today." As soon as Beichen Min received the news, he hurried over, with a few government soldiers behind him. Beichenqu has been depressed for some reason these days, and he didn't allow anyone to disturb him, so everyone didn't go to tell him. Anyway, every time the lady comes forward to solve these things, Beichen Qu is almost the same as not.

The group of people gathered swayed, if it was said that there was the support of the Huangfu family, but none of the people present were from the Huangfu family, and the Huangfu side had not moved for a long time, so no one dared to act rashly. Shen Zheng wanted to say something to encourage everyone, but he heard a woman's voice coming from inside, "Can you go back first for the sake of my face." ”

Shi Zhaozhao came with money, she looked a little haggard, these days there are a lot of people from the rivers and lakes to seek medical treatment, she has been working hard day after day, and the dark circles under her eyes are very obvious. She bowed to everyone's luggage and continued, "I have already examined Beichen Qi's corpse, and there is no trace of evil medicine. Speaking of this, she took out a booklet, which recorded the details of the autopsy, which was circulated by the group of people in the rivers and lakes, and Shi Zhaozhao continued, "However, Beichen Qi Gongzi took Yangsheng Pill, and judging from the autopsy results, there are at least five pills. ”

"Yangsheng Dan?" Everyone muttered secretly, Yangsheng Pill is a relatively common pill in the rivers and lakes, one can have ten years of power, but this is at the cost of burning life, one can cost a person half a life, let alone five?!

Although it is not an evil medicine, few people really dare to use it unless there is some deep hatred. Because there are too few people who use it, it is not listed as a banned drug, but if anyone uses Yangsheng Dan, it will be disgraceful.

"If that's the case, then the nature of the matter is very different." A chivalrous man with an axe said, using Yangsheng Dan is at most a competition of cheating, but over the years, people in Beichen Mansion have cheated a lot, so everyone is not surprised.

"The little woman is willing to swear by my medical skills, and there is no half-truth." Shi Zhaozhao said solemnly, he had treated many people on the day of the martial arts competition, and most of the people present at the moment had received her treatment, and they were always grateful to her, so everyone was convinced by what she said.

"You're right!" In the distance, Zhou Wenjun and Liang Jian were sitting in the tea stall, eating pastries while watching the play, and it seemed that they had been playing for most of the day.

"Well," Liang Jian replied absentmindedly, and she asked in a low voice, "When will the people from the Huangfu family arrive?" ”

"Don't worry, they'll be two blocks away from here." Zhou Wenjun responded. Picked up a piece of peach crisp and ate a few bites, felt a little tired and poured a few sips of tea, glanced at the stall owner and whispered to Liang Jian, "Damn, this peach crisp is too oily, don't eat it." ”

"Hmm," she said, still counting on what she had missed. Huangfu designed the two brothers of Beichen to turn against each other, and when they were doing funerals, they had to go over to kill people and punish their hearts, trying to make Beichen Qu depressed, and he had to comfort him with pretenses. and then instigated the knights of the rivers and lakes to besiege Beichen Mansion, no matter what the people of Beichen Mansion said, no one would believe it, unless someone from a third party told the truth.

When everyone was besieged and Beichen was embarrassed, he would come forward again, as long as he said that his token was faked, he could tell the secret of Yangsheng Dan again. At this time, it can not only further corrupt the status and prestige of the Beichen family in the martial arts, but also create the friendship of the emperor to 'send charcoal in the snow', so that Beichen Qu can be grateful to him.

"Eh, don't be in a daze." Zhou Wenjun pushed Liang Jian and said, she packed a piece of peach cake and threw it to Liang Jian and said, "The signal is here, help me keep this, and I'll take it back to the whole old Song." Now it's my turn. She patted the crumbs of bread on her hands, wiped them with her handkerchief and stuffed them back into her pockets, and ran for the group.

"If today's matter is the emperor's brother's request, then why didn't he come? Who are you Shen Zheng? There doesn't seem to be a person like you in the emperor's family? Xue Shan saw that his face was a little embarrassed, and he couldn't speak, so he continued to chase after him and questioned him, "Your Huangfu token was given to you by Huangfu?" Who can prove it! Or did you steal it? ”

"I, I'm ......" Shen Zheng was stunned, Huangfu secretly gave him the token, only the people of the Huangfu family were present at that time, and there was indeed no one else who could testify for him.

When everyone behind him saw this scene, they instantly understood, their feelings were deceived by this grandson, if he stole the token of the Huangfu family, then they would soon be used as guns? If the people of the Beichen family and the Huangfu family are investigated, then they will not be able to do well.

Shen Zheng knew that he couldn't hesitate any longer, otherwise it would be difficult for him to gain a foothold in the rivers and lakes in the future, and he wanted to argue a few words, but he was knocked out from behind, and the man carried the stick and smiled a little wryly, "I'm sorry, my brother came out to make a fool of himself, since it was a misunderstanding, I will take him back now, and I will come to Beichen Mansion to apologize another day." ”

There was Shi Zhaozhao who came forward as a guarantee, and those people were a little hesitant. After all, when you are blessed with life-saving grace, you will inevitably be given a few thin noodles. Moreover, this group of them came here because of the support of the Huangfu family, if it is really as Xue Shan said, then it is important for them to save their lives now.

Few of the rest of the people planned to stay in the first place, and seeing Shen Zheng knocked out and brought back was even more like a headless fly.

Now that they are all scattered, Xue Shan finally wants to breathe a sigh of relief, and pulls Shi Zhaozhao to enter the mansion, at this time, Beichen Yuan pulled the county lord of Yunrou to come late, and the next person who went to invite people had a very bad face.

Xue Shan sneered, both of them were on the other side of the wing, only a few dozen meters away from here, and it was only a few moments since they came over. She knew in her heart that Beichen Yuan was just waiting, since he understood that the backer of Beichen Mansion had fallen, and Beichen Mansion was now in turmoil, he had the idea of leaving Beichen Mansion. This is also normal, after all, good birds choose trees to perch, and Beichen Mansion has indeed treated him poorly for more than ten years.

"Ah Yuan, I'm afraid that Beichen Mansion will not be safe next, so you should go back with Lord Yunrou." Xue Shan saluted the county lord and said with a light sigh. Since Beichen Yuan's heart is not here, then from now on, the road will go to one side of the sky, they will not touch the light of the county lord, and Beichen Yuan will not have to rely on Beichen Mansion.

"That's fine, after all, I can't get used to living in this Beichen Mansion." The county lord of Yunrou naturally heard her words, and she naturally didn't have to be polite here as the county lord. Beichen Yuan has never received any favors from Beichen Mansion since he was a child, and now it's okay like this, the two have nothing to do with each other, "Let's go." ”

Saying that, she summoned the sedan chair and was about to leave, seeing that Beichen Yuan was still hesitant, a little hated that iron could not be made of steel, but after all, what else could she do if she liked it, she said coquettishly, "Brother Yuan, my leg is a little sore, let's go back." ”

"But." Beichen Yuan's eyes secretly glanced at Shi Zhaozhao, and there was still some reluctance in his eyes. said that she was peeking, but in fact, the range of action was almost beating gongs and drums to tell others that he was looking at her. Yun Rou glanced at Shi Zhaozhao fiercely with her eyes, as if to warn. And Shi Zhaozhao only thought it was funny, she was peeked at by this kind of person for no reason, and she was still unlucky.

"Let's go!" The county lord of Yunrou left Beichen Yuan's hand and got on the sedan chair directly, Beichen Yuan on the side retracted his gaze, and sat down on the slightly smaller one in the back He felt a little embarrassed, on the one hand, his sedan chair was smaller than a woman, on the other hand. so that others can see it, and they want to say that he is a little white face who eats soft rice. But seeing that the sedan chair of the lord of Yunrou had gone away, he had to tell the sedan chair driver to hurry up and catch up.

"I finally sent these two big Buddhas away." Beichen Min looked at the direction they left and muttered dissatisfiedly, these days, the two of them dislike the east and the west, pick left and right, and make the chickens and dogs in the house restless, and now they can finally live a comfortable life for a few days.
