Chapter 14: Yang Chong
For such news, even if Hong Tuo was a little prepared in his heart, he was also greatly surprised, why didn't Yang Chongjiang stop the plan?
"What about Jiang Count?"
Given that Ah Lu only knew Jiang Suan, Hong Tuo could only ask her about Jiang Suan first.
Ah Lu thought back to what he saw today, and said truthfully about the other party's wrong state: "Young Master Jiang's situation doesn't seem to be right, I sneaked into Jiang's mansion and saw that he didn't go out of the house all the time, just walked around vigorously. ”
This is grounded, Hong teased and said hurriedly: "Have you asked him anything?"
"Asked...... Ah Lu thought for a while: "Young Master Jiang asked me to ask if you want to stop this plan and hurry back to Hongfu." ”
"He told me to stop the plan?" Hong was puzzled, so why did the Hong family receive two extortion letters?
Ah Lu couldn't figure it out, so she just nodded, the first thing that came to mind was, if the plan ended like this, would she and Ah Sheng still be able to get the silver?
"No, I have to find a way to meet them, Jiang Xuan seems to be locked up by Uncle Jiang, so I can only go to Yang Chong first to ask what kind of situation is now. ”
The situation was not good, Hong Tuo couldn't sit still, and he got up and wanted to leave.
Seeing that he was leaving, Ah Lu hurriedly stopped him and persuaded, "It's better not to show your face now." ”
In this situation, Hong Tuo must figure out what is going on, although he himself wants to cheat a match of money from his own family, it does not mean that he can tolerate others defrauding Hong Mansion's money.
"No, I'm going back to the city!" Hong teased his attitude and stretched out his hand to push away Ah Lu, who was blocking the way.
Ah Lu saw that he couldn't stop him, so he could only let him, and his face was helpless: "Okay, since you insist on going back to the city, then I will accompany you, but now it is too conspicuous during the day, it is best to go after dark, I managed to read another letter, and the time is also three days later, you can rest assured." ”
Hong thought about it, so he had to go back to his room first and wait for dark, while Ah Lu ran to find Ah Sheng after locking the door of his study.
In the blink of an eye, Ah Lu handed the two black robes he found to Hong Tuo and put on one himself, Hong Tuo glanced at it with disgust, and reluctantly put it on, Ah Lu told Ah Sheng to take good care of the house and pay attention to whether outsiders broke into the mountain.
Ah Sheng patted his chest confidently, reassuring Ah Lu, and Ah Lu took Hong down the mountain with confidence.
Hong Tuo didn't know what path Ah Lu took him, so he quickly entered the city, wondering if he got into it from which hole, but he never walked the low road along the way.
Ah Lu didn't know the way to Yang's Mansion, and after entering the city, Hong Tuo took her all the way, all the way to the road with few people, and the closer he got to Yang's Mansion, the more strange Hong Tuo became, wondering if he was missing something.
"By the way, didn't you still have a token in that letter? The other letter didn't contain anything, why can't the people in Hongfu be sure which letter is true?"
It wasn't until he walked to the back door of Yang's Mansion that Hong Tuo suddenly figured this out, turned around and asked Ah Lu beside him.
Ah Lu didn't care about anything, and said bluntly: "Because the letter is very specific, your height, clothing and temper, and you also said that if you don't believe it, you will cut off a hand and send it over......"
There was a sudden chill in Hong Tea's heart, although the extortion letter he asked Ah Lu to write also used a lot of threatening words, but because it was what he thought, there was no intention of hurting himself in his words, and it was precisely like this, the comparison between the two letters seemed too gentle, and it was not at all like an outlaw could write.
However, if this letter was really written by Yang Chong and his reckless brothers, and this fake kidnapping did not have a knife from Ah Lu, but only this letter was sent over, if his father and mother didn't believe it......
Hong Tuo was a little unexpected, and he was a little scared for a while, and at this moment, the back door of Yang's mansion opened, and Yang Chong's personal servant secretly stretched his head out......
When the little guy saw the two of them standing at the door, he was stunned at first, and then smiled after recognizing Hong Tea, saluted Hong Tea, and said with a hippie smile: "My son-in-law said that Hong Gongzi would find it, and he looked at this place with a special order, and sure enough, Hong Gongzi quickly please come in." ”
Hong Tuo looked at Ah Lu with some hesitation, Ah Lu didn't understand what he was thinking at this moment, so he had to look back at her strangely.
In a voice that could only be heard by the two of them, Hong asked, "Is what you said during the day true......?"
Lu didn't understand why he suddenly asked, but there was a third person present, so she didn't answer, just nodded.
The little servant of Yang Chong's family looked at the two of them strangely, and saw that Hong Tu had no intention of entering the door, so he had to open his mouth and urge: "Hong Gongzi go in quickly......!
Being urged by the little guy, Hong Tuo's heart was even more uneasy, but he felt that he was thinking too much, he and Yang Chong had grown up together, how could Yang Chong do anything to hurt him.
Thinking like this, Hong Tuo's heart calmed down a little, glanced at the dazed Ah Lu again, and followed the little guy in.
The little maid led the two of them all the way down the path, Hong Tuo glanced at the slightly cold surroundings, and asked casually, "This doesn't seem to be the way to your young master's yard." ”
The little maid quickly replied: "The young master said that the current situation is not suitable for too many people to see Young Master Hong, so he deliberately chose a more remote room. ”
Hong Tuo didn't ask any more questions, there was silence all the way, and the three of them quickly walked to the almost desolate courtyard, and even the candle flame in the hut in the courtyard seemed dim and indistinct, which made it a little difficult for him to step forward for a while.
The little guy called softly to the door: "Young master, someone has brought it." ”
When the words fell, the room first sounded the sound of rustling fabrics, followed by footsteps from far and near, and the door was quickly opened, Hong Tuo obviously felt that Yang Chong's face was happy when he saw him, and when he saw Ah Lu behind him, Yang Chong's eyes suddenly sank.
"Brother is here, come in quickly. ”
Yang Chong quickly hid the emotions in his eyes, grabbed Hong Tuo's shoulders familiarly, and was about to pull him into the house.
Ah Lu moved, wanting to follow in, but the little guy on the other side who received Yang Chong's signal hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop her.
"Why are you stopping me, I'm going to go in too!"
Ah Lu glanced at the little guy who was blocking the way, very dissatisfied.
Hong Tuo looked back at her, pushed Yang Chong's hand away without a trace, looked up and said to Yang Chong: "Don't worry, this can be trusted." ”
Yang Chong's face did not change, and said with a smile: "Naturally, you can." ”
Ah Lu followed in as he wished, and as soon as a few people entered the room, the door was closed by the little guy outside.
The room was neat and tidy, apparently cleaned, and there were some drinks and food on the table in the middle of the room, perhaps because the lantern cover was a little old, and the candlelight could not be fully revealed, and the whole room seemed dim.
Taking advantage of Yang Chong's beckoning Hong Tuo to sit down, Ah Lu suddenly stepped forward and whispered in Hong Tuo's ear: "It's best not to eat anything here." ”
Hong Tuo was startled by the breath that Ah Lu blew into his ears, and almost ignored what she said, in order not to let Yang Chong notice something unusual, he restrained his emotions and sat down opposite him.
Yang Chong filled a glass of wine for Hong Tea, and was about to touch it when he raised his glass, but Hong Tuo ignored it, and chose to ask directly: "Why do you still send the ransom letter to Hong Mansion, didn't I already say to stop the action here?"
