Volume 1: Xingzhi Chapter 6: Measuring the Situation

Noon.

Ying Che stood in front of the hillside, raised his eyes to the top of the mountain, and thought for a moment.

The monkey lay on the ground, tossing and turning, anxiously waiting. "Brother Che, it's been two hours since Shen Yuzhu's car was driven, and Ergou should almost succeed there. ”

As he spoke, the corners of Ying Che's mouth crossed a curvature.

"Look, the one who hurriedly ran down the mountain should be Shen Yuzhu's maid, right?"

The monkey stood up and looked in the direction of Yingche's finger. Thousands of meters away, a slender green figure could be faintly seen, hurriedly running down the mountain.

"Ergou, they succeeded. However, the one sent to Lingjiang has not come back yet, so there will be no moths. ”

Ying Che shook her head.

Turning around, his eyes looked in the direction of Lingshan Village, and said.

"The ducklings are back. ”

Seeing the young man running in a hurry, Ying Che's hanging heart finally let go, until the duckling came to the hillside and gasped for breath before speaking.

"Brother Che, according to your orders, the plank is placed on the east bank, in the open space three miles downstream from the ferry, and the rattan thread is already tied to the plank. In addition, a total of three bundles of rattan thread were placed, and from the east bank to the west bank, all the way downstream for a distance of seven or eight miles. Everyone else is looking for a place to hide, and when the Shen family puts Xiaoba on the wooden board, the rattan thread will be tightened. Shake the wheel rocker, follow the current, pull Hachi to the place we have prepared in advance, and take a detour to bring Hachi back. ”

"Moreover, the lower reaches of the Lingjiang River are getting wider and wider, as long as they put Xiaoba on the wooden plank, no matter how powerful the people of the Shen family are, it is absolutely impossible to directly cross the Lingjiang River that is so wide to find us. ”

Duckling added.

"Did all the rattan threads sink into the water?" asked Yingche.

"It's sunken, and from around the plank, you can't see the rattan thread. ”

Ying Che nodded, everything is in place, just wait for the news to arrive, and go to negotiate with the Shen family. Looking in the direction of Tanglin County, the three of them smiled happily, as if they had seen Shen Qingyun's angry expression when he heard that his favorite pearl in his palm was taken away.

"Little duckling, take more food to the mountains, you are absolutely not allowed to show up until you have received the news of the release. ”

"Good. ”

In response, the duckling turned around and went back to the village to "get" food.

Everything is under control.

A smile hung over his mouth.

It's a battle of great disparity.

Ying Che handed the written note to the monkey.

"Monkey, Shen Qingyun is definitely more terrifying than we imagined. So, when you deliver a piece of paper, remember not to be discovered. Also, the request on this note is for the Shen family to release Xiao Ba and not continue to investigate Xiao Ba's arson. ”

"Brother Che, it's too simple, that old thing must be able to guess that we tied Shen Yuzhu. Then we'll be in danger. The monkey immediately heard the loophole in Yingche's paper.

"yes, it's so easy. You can guess, let alone the old fox who has been in the business sea for half his life? Therefore, Shen Qingyun will definitely not throw a rat bogey. If he can guess us, then it will be a matter of time before it is exposed. Therefore, I would like to take this opportunity to completely solve this hidden danger. Ying Che said.

"How to fix it?"

"When Shen Qingyun learned that it was us who kidnapped Shen Yuzhu, out of human instinct, he must have chosen to replace people with people. However, Shen Qingyun is not an ordinary person, he can guess that we dare not really kill Shen Yuzhu. Therefore, we are not equal to the Shen family's chips, and if we want to completely solve Xiaoba's troubles, I have to meet with Shen Qingyun. ”

The monkey was stunned when he heard this, and shook his head again and again.

"You're crazy Brother Che, you met with that old fox, he arrested you and threatened us to release Shen Yuzhu, so aren't we working in vain?"

"Shen Qingyun won't cast a rat trap, but he will never arrest me again and use it to threaten you. So, you can rest assured that if you want to settle this matter once and for all, you have to do what I say. ”

He waved his hand.

"Go ahead, be careful on the road. ”

The breeze swept across his face, and a sense of determination rose in his heart. If this game is won, everyone will be happy. If he loses, he will attach all the consequences to himself, and will not implicate other brothers.

Evening.

The inner courtyard of the Shen Mansion.

At this time, Shen Qingyun completely lost his previous spirit.

Anger made the face of the richest man in Tanglin more and more hideous. Angry roars and the sound of pounding valuables came and went. The maid who came to report the news fell to her knees and trembled.

After venting, Shen Qingyun's anger gradually subsided.

The richest man in Tanglin finally showed his calmness as a long-time ruler at this time. Squinted at Shen Congfeng, who was standing aside, and said in a deep voice.

"Feng'er, send someone to monitor Liu Zi'an for me, and if there is any abnormal movement, arrest him immediately. In addition, whether the Liu family tied the beads or not, as a business rival, it is time to show them my Shen fangs. ”

Shen Congfeng, as the son of the Shen family, naturally understood that his father at this time was motivated by anger.

"Dad, it's okay to monitor, but Liu Zi'an is also the patriarch of the Liu family, if he offends rashly, it will cause immeasurable obstacles to our next development, you must know that the assets and power of the Liu family are not weaker than our Shen family. ”

"Hmph, when will you look farther away?"

With a cold snort, Shen Qingyun's tone became solemn.

"Lord Yingning will return to Tanglin tomorrow, you have to seize this opportunity. No matter how difficult it is, as long as you can marry the county lord back to me, even if you do all the power of the whole clan, my father will not hesitate to do it. ”

Hearing this, Shen Congfeng was overjoyed.

"Dad, could it be that the big man in Yuejing agreed to cooperate with our Shen family?"

nodded, which was regarded as a response to Shen Congfeng's question.

"Our Shen family is a business family, if it was in the past, my father would never dare to have such a transgressive heart. However, now he has caught up with the big man in Yuejing. This prince's daughter can also fight for it. Okay, the top priority is to get Zhu'er back, go and arrange it. ”

Shen Congfeng agreed again and again, exited the room, and arranged everything according to his father's instructions.

At this moment, only Shen Qingyun and Shen Yuzhu's maids were left in the room.

His thoughts were heavy, and Shen Qingyun's eyes were like a poisonous snake.

looked at the little maid kneeling on the ground and asked in a deep voice.

"Xiaohuan, there should be fifteen guards on the way to Lingshan with Miss, right? Can you see who can easily kidnap Miss under the protection of fifteen guards?"

The maid kowtowed like pecking rice, sobbing again and again.

"Master, Xiaohuan is damned, Xiaohuan really didn't see who kidnapped Miss. Xiaohuan only remembered that when we were passing through the Celestial Cave, we suddenly passed out. When Xiaohuan woke up, Miss was gone. ”

"Celestial Cave, where's the guard?"

Shen Qingyun patiently continued to ask.

"Protect... Guards, after Xiaohuan woke up, he found that the guards were still unconscious, Xiaohuan was afraid that something would happen to Miss, so he was... I ran back to report the news. Damn it, damn it. ”

After listening to the maid's words, Shen Qingyun squinted, perhaps calculating the truth of the little maid's words in front of him.

At the right time, there was a knock on the door, and the housekeeper Shen Zhong shouted at the top of his voice.

"Master, someone sent a piece of paper, please take a look. ”

The door opened, Shen Qingyun took the note handed by the housekeeper, secretly relieved in his heart, and muttered to himself.

"I said that it was Liu Zi'an's secret hand, and it turned out that I came to set fire to that kid. ”

He sneered again and again, crumpled the paper and threw it in the paper basket.

"What a bunch of offspring who don't know the height of the sky. The kid who set the arson, has you found out your identity?"

"I found out, the one in Lingshan Village outside the city is called Zhu Ba. A few days ago, a few reckless men from Lingshan Village came to our Shen firm to deliver mountain goods, and had a dispute with the third master. One of them was slashed by the third master. That kid is here to avenge the man who was slashed by the third master. ”

Butler Shen Zhong told the story.

"Could it be that my Shen family has declined? A few hairy boys dare to do something to my eldest lady of the Shen family. As he spoke, Shen Qingyun took out a black dagger from his sleeve.

The dagger was faintly cold and terrifying.

Turning around sharply, the dagger in his hand pierced deeply into the back of the maid's heart.

Lightly ended the little girl's life.

He took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and gently wiped the blood from the dagger. "When I saw the blood, I was relieved, but I had a desire to see this bold young man. ”

The curvature of the corners of his mouth was curved, and he looked at the housekeeper Shen Zhong and said.

"Miss's matter, put aside for the time being, I expect that those people will not dare to really kill Zhu'er. You go and arrange to have a message with the person who delivered the letter, and it is not impossible for me to release that kidnap, and let the person who planned to kidnap the young lady come out and meet with me. At that time, not only did the kid be released, but the matter was no longer pursued. ”

"Yes!"

After Shen Zhong left, several guards from the Shen Mansion came and dragged away the body of the maid Xiaohuan and buried it on the spot.

"It's interesting, you dare to go against my Shen family at such a young age, it's interesting, it's really interesting!"

......

In the room, Ying Che fed the two antidotes sent by Lin Qingquan, made room for the vacancy, and stood side by side with Lin Qingquan.

Doctor Xu stepped forward to check the pulse, groaned slightly, and said.

"The poison in your father's body has been cleared and completely removed. However, these days, I have to rest at home, and the matter of going into the mountains to hunt will be put on hold for the time being. ”

Dr. Xu, who was over 70 years old, smiled brightly, picked up the medicine box and went out, followed by Yingche to send him out.

"Grandpa Xu, when will my father wake up. ”

Doctor Xu stopped, stared at Ying Che with a pair of dark yellow eyes, and asked rhetorically. "Ah Che, Xiao Ran stole my ecstasy incense, you know about this, right?"

Ying Che was stunned and vague.

"Uh... Ah? No, I think it should be Grandpa Xu, you forgot the place, right? Besides, it's useless for Xiao Ran to take the ecstasy incense, it's definitely not Xiao Ran. ”

"Then tell me, where did Xiao Ran go?"

"It's... I... I don't know. ”

Scratching his head, a look of embarrassment.

Dr. Xu didn't continue to ask, but just said lightly.

"Ah Che, there are some things that have been done. It's just that Xiao Ran's life is hard, his father and mother died early, and living with me, a dying old man, is indeed extremely boring. If Grandpa Xu is a hundred years later, I hope you can take care of Xiao Ran for Grandpa Xu. ”

There was a slight depression in his tone.

"Grandpa Xu, don't worry, Xiao Ran is my brother. Plus, you're sure to live a long life. ”

"Oh, hopefully. Your father will sleep soundly for two days, and after two days he will wake up. Rest assured. With that, he walked towards his medicine house by starlight.

Back to the room.

glanced at Lin Qingquan, and his gratitude was beyond words.

"By the way, Xiao Che, tomorrow morning, His Royal Highness the County Lord of the Tanglin Mansion will come to the academy, my father asked me to inform you, and tomorrow I will dress up and meet His Royal Highness the County Lord with my father." ”

"I..."

Ying Che was stunned for a while when he heard this.

"What, is there a problem?" asked Lin Qingquan.

Ying Che hesitated and said tentatively.

"Brother Qingquan, can I not go, I have important things to do tomorrow. ”

"Nonsense, what are you doing that is more important than meeting His Royal Highness the County Lord?" Lin Qingquan thought that Ying Che was afraid of seeing a big man like the County Lord, so he smiled and patted the latter's shoulder and comforted.

"Don't worry, tomorrow my sister will be with you, and my father. ”
