Chapter 306: Qin Xu is missing
Early the next morning, Hua Yanrong found Aunt Zhong who was cleaning in the courtyard, handed her a packet of medicinal herbs she bought yesterday, and told her to take them and boil them, and then go straight to Gui Hangyuan.
Through yesterday's observation, Hua Yanrong learned that Qin Xu was young and vigorous, had not suffered any setbacks, was more conceited, and was at the age of boiling blood, how could he want to get the complexity of society and the sinister nature of human nature?
Obviously, he has been moved by Fan Xiling, and for the prosperity of the family, maybe he will really go to the "Shuangxiakou" to meet Qi Mazi.
What the consequences will be, it is impossible to predict.
What Hua Wurong was worried about was that once Qin Xu had an accident, his follow-up actions would not be able to be carried out.
People are all fart, and they are pretending to be ghosts!
Gui Hangyuan just walked out of the living room, leisurely, Hua Rongrong stepped forward and told his guess.
After Gui Hangyuan heard this, his face immediately became gloomy.
"It's exactly what you say!"
Half-loud, Gui Hangyuan sighed lightly: "Qin Xu, this kid, cares more about the family business than himself, Brother Qin takes him very seriously, and he won't let him take risks." ”
Before the words fell, I saw a person rushing in from the gate of the courtyard, and Lao Yuan shouted loudly: "Steward Gui, the master invites you to go to the front hall to discuss matters." ”

The people came in a hurry, and their faces were anxious.
When Gui Hang looked at it from afar, it was Qin Xiao, the leader of the Qin Mansion's guards, and hurriedly asked, "Qin Team Zheng, what happened?"
Qin Xiao said: "It seems to be ...... It's about Little Master Qin. ”
Gui Hangyuan's meaningful eyes glanced at the flowers, and both of them understood the meaning in each other's eyes: Qin Xu didn't tell Qin Ziyou, and went to Shuangxiakou alone.
Gui Hangyuan asked Qin Xiao to go over first, and he arrived later.
"Take me there. ”
Hua Rongrong lowered her voice, "If Qin Xu really went to the 'Shuangxia Pass' alone as I expected, I proposed to go to Qin Xu's courtyard to take a look." ”
Gui Hangyuan frowned, staring at Hua Disgrace dissatisfiedly, "It's all this time, what kind of mess are you making!"
Hua Rongrong met Gui Hangyuan's gaze, "The Qin Mansion is heavily guarded, and it is difficult for me to have a chance to enter Qin Xu's small courtyard."
You asked me to pretend to be Qin Xu, but you didn't help me go to his courtyard to observe, how can you understand all his daily behaviors?
What books to read, what to write, what to do? Isn't it a matter of not knowing how to accomplish the next task?"
"Don't mess around. ”
Gui Hangyuan snorted, and repeatedly told Hua Loss, "Otherwise, I won't be able to save you!"
Under the leadership of Gui Hangyuan, the two of them passed through the Qinfu Yongdao, the side door of the main courtyard had been opened, and the woman stood respectfully on the side, looking a little flustered.
When Gui Hangyuan crossed the side door with Hua Rongrong, the woman immediately closed the door, as if she was afraid that something would happen if she was too late.
The little young master suddenly disappeared, and the Qin Mansion was in chaos, that was the only grandson of the old man Qin, don't have an accident, otherwise, the Qin Mansion will not be at peace, and their lives as subordinates will be even more difficult.
It's still the front yard living room when Hua lost his face when he first entered the Qin Mansion last time.
However, this time, in addition to seeing Qin Ziyou and Qin Xiaotian, Wu Yuxiong was also there, and two other men who were older than Gui Hangyuan were also sitting, presumably Gui Hangyuan's other two brothers, Qiu Zhihai and Liu Wu.
The one wearing a gray green robe with a beautiful beard, his eyebrows are a little similar to Qiu Feng, it should be Qiu Zhihai, and the other old man in a purple shirt is naturally Liu Wu.
As soon as Hua Yanrong entered the living room, she hurriedly stepped forward to salute, "The little nephew has seen your uncles." ”
Qin Ziyou looked at Gui Hangyuan suspiciously.
Gui Hangyuan's face showed embarrassment, "When Zhang Xian's nephew heard what happened to Xu'er, he was very concerned, so he begged me to bring him over, hoping to help a little." He said he was willing to run errands. ”
Hua Rongrong hurriedly said: "Thanks to Uncle Qin, he not only took in his nephew, but also stayed in the Qinfu pharmacy to do things, this kindness, the little nephew can't repay it." There is something in the house today, and my nephew's seven-foot body is sent by my uncles. ”
Qin Ziyou obviously had no intention of listening to Hua Hua's disfigurement to show his loyalty, and said absentmindedly: "Okay, okay! ”
As he spoke, he shook a piece of paper in his hand in the air, "Hangyuan, take a look." ”
Although Gui Hangyuan is a housekeeper, among the brothers, he is the youngest, and his position is naturally last, and Hua Yanrong, as a junior, naturally stands next to him.
When Hua Yanrong heard Qin Ziyou say this, she hurriedly stepped forward to pick up the piece of paper, and then respectfully retreated to Gui Hangyuan's side and handed the paper to Gui Hangyuan.
Gui Hangyuan took the piece of paper quietly, and only after taking a look at it, the person stood up and said in a lost voice: "Xu'er, isn't this nonsense?"
"Is it just nonsense?"
Qin Ziyou patted the armrest of the chair, his face flushed, obviously angry, "That Qi Mazi is the one you can see when you see him? Who is he? It's a bandit!"
Murderous and cruel. thought that it was like doing business normally, and that buying and selling would not be benevolent, and it would be too late for others to hide, so he was better and sent to the door!"
Qin Ziyou was obviously angry by Qin Xu's actions, and as soon as he finished speaking, he gasped.
Gui Hangyuan hurriedly put down the letter and comforted: "Big brother, don't worry, it's not good to be angry." It's already happened, and you have to find a way to stop Xu'er. ”
Qin Ziyou sighed lightly, "I have sent an escort team to the 'Shuangxia Mouth', hoping to catch up with this bastard halfway."
This time, I have to teach this kid a good lesson, it's too child's play! I should let him know what to do and what not to do. ”
Gui Hangyuan handed the letter to Hua Humber on the side, "Take a look, what do you think?"
Hua Wurong knew that Gui Hangyuan intended to let him watch, so he took the letter.
There are a few words on the paper: I went to the Double Canyon today to visit Qi Mazi, in order to solve the opening of the trade route, if it goes well, I will reach a long-term contract with Qi Mazi, and allow my Qin caravan to pass, which can solve my Qin family's hundred-year dilemma, and then ......
The handwriting is very sloppy, the pen is frivolous, and it is obvious that he wrote in a hurry under the agitation of his mood.
The meaning of these few words was that Qin Xu wanted to sign a long-term contract with Qi Mazi and allow the Qin family's caravan to pass through the Double Canyon.
Hua Disfigured felt very funny, if things in the world were really as simple as Qin Xu imagined, it would be simply too beautiful, how could there be so many disputes and fights, let alone death.
Why are there rivers and lakes where there are people? It is because of the existence of interests.
Let's not talk about whether Qin Xu can see Qi Mazi, even if he does, and he reaches a contract, how expensive is the price paid?
Why did Qi Mazi block the trade route at the mouth of the Shuangxia? Wasn't it because he couldn't buy the pill he needed?
You businessmen have speculated the prices of pills such as 'Xiao Huan Dan' and 'Concentration Dew', aren't you just taking the opportunity to make a big profit?
Why can't he Qi Mazi?
There are many smart people in the world, but Qin Xu is not the only one.
Especially for businessmen, they do their best to maximize their interests, and they can't figure out the inner way of this matter?
People as shrewd as these businessmen naturally know the subtleties of it, but they will not say it.
Didn't you Qi Mazi raise the price of the goods in the past, then I will stop trading with Weitong City, although I have losses, but the most anxious should be the government of the two cities.
If there are fewer business and trade contacts, there will be less tax revenue, and it will affect the normal life of ordinary people in the two cities.
Domino effect!
Shrewd businessmen will naturally not make impulsive and arrogant moves like Qin Xu, when their minds are hot and their blood is surging, but they will take a moment to quietly observe the next actions of the government.
As a result, the trend of rising the price of pills promoted by merchants took advantage of the situation, and the final disaster was successfully thrown at the bandit leader Qi Mazi.
I have to say that this pot of disaster water is grafted so seamlessly, Hua Yanrong has to admire the IQ of the businessmen, and a stunned and hot-blooded young man like Qin Xu, how could he think so much, and if he was a little angry, he immediately exploded.
After thinking about it, Hua Rongrong put down the letter, stood up, and said to Qin Ziyou: "Uncle Qin, I want to go to Qin Xu's room to have a look." Then, make your own judgment. ”
Qin Ziyou looked at Hua in a daze, "Virtuous nephew, how can you say this?"
Hua Rongrong pointed to the piece of paper and said unhurriedly: "Qin Xu's handwriting is sloppy and the order of the lines is messy, obviously written in a chaotic situation.
In the end, I wanted to say something and stopped, I wanted to go and see Qin Xu's room to judge whether he had gone to the Double Canyon. ”
Wu Yuxiong stood up abruptly and asked Hua Fa Disfigured, "Did the virtuous nephew say that Xu'er didn't go to the Double Canyon to see Qi Mazi?"
Qin Xu seems to be very much loved by Qin Ziyou's sworn brothers, all of whom are called "Xu'er", no wonder he has such impulsiveness.
It is normal for children who grow up in greenhouses to have little social experience and not know the sinister nature of human nature.
Hua Yanrong chuckled, "What kind of person is Qi Mazi, how can anyone meet him?"
"The virtuous nephew has a point. ”
Qin Ziyou nodded again and again, "Qi Mazi is at the peak of the ninefold martial arts realm, even if we are brothers, in the eyes of others, they are just farts, and birds are not birds! Let's go and take a look at Xiao Xu's courtyard together, this bastard boy is really ......"
In Qin Ziyou's chatter, a group of several people walked towards the backyard of the Qin Mansion.
The Qin Mansion is a three-entry courtyard, plus two cross-courtyards in the east and west, and it is considered a rich and noble family in Southeast County.
Qin Ziyou lives in the backyard, Qin Xiaotian lives in the middle courtyard with his two wives and concubines, and Qin Xu's small courtyard is a courtyard between the middle courtyard and the west side of the backyard.
This courtyard is not large, sitting on the north and facing south, which is suitable for the adult children of rich and noble families to live alone.
When Hua Wurong followed Qin Ziyou and the others to this small courtyard, the four maids inside had already received the news and were waiting in the courtyard early for questioning.
All of them lowered their heads, their faces were full of panic, and the disappearance of the little young master had already scared them into distraction, and the six gods had no master.
Qin Xiaotian had a cold face, he didn't talk much on weekdays, giving people a cold feeling, and now that Qin Xu had this incident, he didn't have a good face.
Qin Xiaotian pointed to a young maid, "Cuiping, take Zhang Gongzi to Xu'er's room to check it out." ”
