Chapter 204: Blood Book
The next day, it will be the deadline for Qin Xun's delivery, because Zhao Gonggong is about to leave Qijiang County and return to Beijing.
Zhao Gonggong is not a person who can trust people, and all the incense products collected must be managed by his own people, for fear that others will interfere.
Therefore, when Qin Xun was woken up by Qinggu before he got up, he thought that Zhao Gonggong's people had come to urge the goods.
But in the next moment, Qing Gu's words made Qin Xun wake up immediately.
"Madam, the Lin family of the county government has gone."
"What's going on?" Qin Xun sat up, and Qing Gu hurriedly draped his coat over her shoulders.
"Just after the fifth watch today, a fire broke out in the back house of the county government, but fortunately, it was discovered in time and quickly extinguished."
Qin Xun asked, "How do you know that the Lin family has gone?" ”
"Liu Xi came back and waited outside, saying that he had something important to tell his wife."
Qing Cang also came in, and together with Qing Gu, he helped his wife put on clothes, shoes and socks, and went out to see Liu Xi with her hair tied in a bun.
"Sister-in-law, look at this!" As soon as Liu Xi saw Qin Xun, he handed over a folded piece of Su Jin.
Qin Xun opened it and saw that it was a blood letter accusing the county order and Zhao Gonggong.
"How did it get to you?" Qin Xun asked with an extremely serious expression.
Liu Xi briefly recounted the incident.
Liu Xi's place of residence is in the back alley of the county ya, so when the county yahou's house caught fire, they were quickly alarmed.
Everyone got up and went to the county office to help put out the fire. Liu Xi is naturally no exception, but he went to the clerical warehouse, after all, it was his territory, and he was still very responsible.
But as soon as I opened the door of the storeroom, I saw white silk stuffed under the crack of the door.
Looking at it by the light of the lantern, Liu Xi was scared and sweated, and hurriedly hid things close to his body.
As soon as I hid it, I heard someone outside coming and asking if I had seen a suspicious person or thing.
Liu Xi stood at the door with a lantern, saying that he had just opened the door and had not seen anyone passing by, and he did not know what was going on inside.
Those people passed by Liu Xi's side and went in to check it in person, this warehouse is for papers, it is not very large, and there is no place for Tibet. So, those people checked it out and left.
Before leaving, he said to Liu Xi: "It's okay here, you hurry up and close the door and go back, don't come back to do things until you receive a notice." ”
Liu Xi agreed very obediently, and the way he cowered made those people completely relax their interrogation and scrutiny of him.
After that, Liu Xi closed the door and went out of the county office, and found that the people guarding the door had already begun to check the people who came in and out.
It's just that the two officials who were checked were Liu Xi's old acquaintances, these people didn't eat and drink Liu Xi, usually there was an urgent matter at home, or there was no silver to spend, and Liu Xi didn't care about a little bit of silver and scattered it. If you can pay it back, you can pay it back, and if you don't pay it back, Liu Xi never asks.
Therefore, they will not check Liu Xi, and let him out after touching him on his chest at will.
A brother also patted him on the shoulder and teased: "You are really, what are you doing when you run back on an errand, and you are afraid that you won't be able to do anything?" ”
Liu Xi was not in a hurry to leave, but leaned aside and explained: "I'm afraid that there is something wrong with my one-third of an acre, and if I don't see it in person, I have no bottom in my heart!" ”
Then, he asked, "What happened?" As soon as I opened my door, I saw someone come to check on me, and asked if I had seen anyone or anything strange. Is this an investigation, or is it an investigation? ”
Another doorkeeper looked around, hooked his finger, and let Liu Xi come closer and said, "I heard that it was our master's concubine, and the very arrogant Lin family died." ”
Liu Xi's eyes widened: "Why did you die?" She is the treasure of our master, in this back house, she has to be windy and rainy, and her body is not sick, why suddenly"
Speaking of this, Liu Xi seemed to have thought of something, covered his mouth and lowered his voice: "The fire inside has something to do with her?" ”
The official who searched Liu Xi's body before sneered: "How is the Lin family? It's just that she doesn't have to worry about food and clothing, and a woman is treated like this, tsk"
There was someone in the distance, Liu Xi didn't dare to stay any longer, so he slipped away after explaining.
"Sister-in-law, why did you send this thing to me? What does this mean? "Liu Xi's heart has been beating very fast, the county government can catch fire, and there are dead people, plus this blood book, how can Liu Xi not be surprised?
Qin Xun handed the thing to Qing Gu: "You use a box and put it on my desk, I will use it later." ”
Then, she looked at Liu Xi: "Since you are back, go and sleep first, this incident should not happen before, and you are not allowed to tell anyone." ”
Liu Xi went to sleep.
Tonight was supposed to be Qinggu's night, so Qin Xun asked Qinggu to continue to rest, and Qinggu could stay.
After Qing Cang went out, Qing Gu immediately closed the door from the inside.
Qing Cang turned to look at the closed door, her heart was a little sour, she knew that her wife would definitely not sleep, and she would definitely have to deal with that thing.
But now, she is turned away, that is, when the wife decides to marry her, she also treats her as an outsider.
This feeling is not too good, at least, the current Qingcang is very aggrieved.
It's just that there are gains and losses, and there is no way to do it.
She guessed correctly, Qin Xun and Qinggu went to the back room, Qinggu cut the burning wick with scissors, and lit an extra candle on the desk.
Qin Xun asked her to help grind the red ink, while she sat on a chair and carefully studied the handwriting on the blood book.
After copying it a few times, Qin Coriander wrote the same words as himself in the blood book.
After Qinggu finished his own business, he went to light a charcoal basin and put it at Qin Coriander's feet, put the charcoal into the stove, wrapped it in a cloth towel and put it in Qin Coriander's arms.
When the sky was bright, Qin Xun had already copied more than a dozen.
Only then did he raise his head and shake his neck and sore shoulders.
Qinggu hurriedly handed over the warm tea.
Qin Xun was very satisfied with Qinggu's service, he didn't need to be instructed, he could always do it just right.
"Do you have a man you like? If there is, I will marry you off in style. Qin Xun leaned on the back of the chair and enjoyed Qinggu's shoulder and neck massage.
"Madam, the slave doesn't want to get married, and in this life, she will stay with her wife." Qing Gu chuckled and said, the strength of his hand did not decrease.
"Fool, how can a woman not marry? Sooner or later, you will also meet the person who makes your heart move, this is fate! ”
Qinggu thought for a while, and then said, "Madam, fate is not good, and there are bad fates. Slaves and maids like the second master and his wife see less, but those who look like gods and think about each other see more, so ah, slaves and maids are not willing to try. ”
Because, she thinks that she does not have such a good life.
"Besides, when I get married, isn't it just to find someone to rely on, but now that I'm with my wife, don't I have something to rely on?"
Qinggu's family has a heavy burden, and for her, silver is more important than anything else. What's more, Qinggu saw how well Aunt Sang was doing in the Xiao family now, and there was a maid and a maid to take care of her, and Lang Zhong also saw a doctor when she was sick.
She is now Qin Xun's eldest girl, as long as she serves her wholeheartedly, she may not be able to retire in the Xiao family in the future?
"You go back home to see your family, and then we're going to the capital." Qin Xun's words can be regarded as speaking to Qinggu's heart.
