Not far from Zhu Chiyuan is a small town, the name of this town is Qingshan Town, just because behind the town is the beautiful landscape.

Due to various reasons, Qingrong Mansion does not care about the jurisdiction of Qingshan Town, which also leads to the mixing of dragons and snakes here, abnormal chaos, and from time to time there are murders and goods.

There are mostly some extremely vicious guys in Qingshan Town, but these guys never dare to provoke the people in Zhu Chiyuan, even if it is just a subordinate.

There was once a maid in Zhu Chiyuan who went out to buy some items for a certain lady, and happened to be met by a group of horse thieves who had just arrived in Qingshan Town.

In less than two days, the heads of this gang of horse thieves were neatly hung in the vegetable market in Qingshan Town, a total of ninety-eight people, no more than one and no less.

Zhu Chiyuan occupies a large area, even if you walk around Zhu Chiyuan, it takes more than half an hour, so Zhu Chiyuan has opened many small doors for people to enter and exit in order to facilitate access.

It stands to reason that there will be some hidden dangers if there are so many small doors, but Zhu Chiyuan doesn't care at all, no one dares to break ground on Tai Sui's head, Zhu Chiyuan has countless masters, and he is not afraid of someone coming in.

On the side of Zhu Chiyuan, there were no buildings here, and the guards were a little lax, and at this time, a small door was gently pushed open and a small head poked in from the outside.

The little head looked around, and after making sure that there was no one inside, he quickly pushed open the small door, and then entered Zhu Chiyuan from the outside.

After the "little head" came in, he quickly closed the door, tidied up his clothes, pretended to be loitering, and walked to the depths of Zhu Chiyuan.

The person who broke in was not very old, only twelve or thirteen years old, with slightly dark skin, rough hands and feet, not like a young master from a big family.

The young man's face was full of smiles, and his eyes were full of excitement, staring at a jade hairpin in his hand.

This jade hairpin is a kind of white body, take a closer look at it and you will find that there is a cloud of emerald green in the shape of a phoenix in the center of this jade hairpin, under the reflection of the light, the emerald green phoenix seems to be still fluttering this wing, which looks very spiritual.

The more Chiyu looked at this hairpin, the happier he became, and couldn't help but recall the experience of getting this jade hairpin, at first he was selecting jade in a jade shop, but he didn't want to choose too carefully and bumped into an old man, this old man was wearing a white robe, which was not stained with fine dust, like a master of Taoism, and like a generation of Confucianism.

The old man looked at him, smiled slightly and talked with him, half an hour, an old man and a young man talked very happily, when the old man knew that he was choosing jewelry, he took out a beautiful box, which contained this jade hairpin, saying that it was to be given to him.

He fell in love with this jade hairpin at a glance, and felt that if he gave this hairpin to his mother, his mother would definitely like it very much, and he immediately decided to accept this hairpin, but he didn't want to owe anyone anything, so he stuffed ten taels of silver to the old man, ten taels of silver is a lot.

"Give this to your mother, she will be very happy. The young man looked at it carefully for a while, and then he carefully wrapped the jade hairpin in a cloth, put it in a fine box, and then put it in his arms.

The young man patted his chest, and walked towards the depths of Zhu Chiyuan with a relaxed face.

Not long after the boy left, the small door was opened again, and two ordinary-looking middle-aged people flashed in.

These two people are extremely ordinary-looking, and if they are placed on the street, they will disappear into the crowd in no time.

"Young Master Yuqi thought that no one had found out that he was out of the house!" said a man in a gray robe.

"Hehe, how can he find out? You and I can at least rank in the top ten in this mansion, if he can see it, then where can you and I put our two old faces!" another yellow cedar man laughed.

"Forget it, since the young master has returned to the house, there is no problem with safety, then you go to rest, and I will follow alone. The gray-robed man looked in the direction of the young man's departure, and as soon as his legs moved, he ran quickly forward, and the strange thing was that the gray-robed man moved very much, but there was not much sound.

Chi Yuqi glanced behind him intentionally or unintentionally, in fact, he had already discovered the two guards behind him, since he cultivated the magic passed down by the family to the fifth layer, his five senses had reached an extremely terrifying level, although the two guards behind him were powerful and almost did not miss any flaws, but they were still easily discovered by him.

When he left the mansion, these two guards didn't stop him, so he naturally pretended not to find these two people, and it was also a good thing to have two people with him to protect him.

Chi Yu didn't bother to care about the two people behind him, and his heart was now full of joy about seeing his mother.

A hall in Zhu Chiyuan, which is heavily guarded and heavily guarded, has always been a place for high-level deliberations in Zhu Chiyuan.

An old man with a childish face and crane hair was sitting on a Taishi chair, his face was like frost, and his eyes were even more gloomy.

There is also a middle-aged man standing beside the old man, this man has sword eyebrows and starry eyes, heroic and extraordinary, although he is not confused, but there is a mature charm all over his body, this kind of face is extremely lethal to a young girl in the prime of her life, or a young woman who has lived in the deep courtyard for a long time.

The middle-aged man was wearing an extremely gorgeous robe, and at first glance he knew that he was a person of high status, but at this time, the man lowered his head and trembled, not daring to make too many moves, for fear that there would be something wrong that would make the old man in front of him unhappy.

In front of the white-haired old man, there was also a red-robed man, who bowed his head slightly, looking very respectful to the old man in front of him.

"Say what you just said again. The old man's face was gloomy and dripping, and his eyes were even more gloomy, which made people shudder.

"The head of the family, the biological mother of the young master Yuqi died of illness a month ago, and she has already been hastily buried, and the subordinates have not been able to bring the second lady back. The red-robed man bowed directly to the ground.

The old man's face suddenly turned from cold to angry, and he slapped his palm on the table under his arm, and the table shattered with a crumb.

The old man smashed the table, and before his anger subsided, he kicked the red-robed man who was kneeling on the ground and slammed it into the wall not far away.

"Waste, you can't pick up anyone, what's the use of asking you for blood guards, how can good people die of illness. ”

The red-robed man spat out a mouthful of blood directly, but the red-robed man didn't dare to delay, and immediately got up and continued to kneel on the ground.

And the middle-aged man next to the old man was even more arrogant, for fear that the old man would vent his anger on himself.

"The head of the family, before we set off, the second lady had already passed away, but the subordinates carefully investigated and found that there was another hidden reason for the death of the second lady. The red-robed man was almost lying on the ground.

"What? Does anyone dare to touch the people of my Chi family? The white-haired old man's eyes lit up, and his angry expression now added a layer of evil.

"The second lady has lived outside the Chifu for a long time, and all the expenses are allocated by the Chifu, but there are very few under the layers of deductions, especially in the three years that the young master has been away from home in the rain! The second lady has no way to make a living, so she secretly does some manual work again, but ......" The red-robed man was a little hesitant when he said this, and he glanced at the middle-aged man standing beside the old man slightly.

"But what, said. The old man's face was extremely unsightly, and he seemed to be on the verge of breaking out again.

"The second master's concubine Li heard about it from the maid, so she sent someone to punish the second lady for kneeling in the wind and snow for a day and a night, and the second lady fell ill after being punished, and died in less than three days. The red-robed man finished his words with difficulty.

The old man's expression suddenly became a little uncertain, and he sat down in the chair, his brows furrowed tightly, not knowing what he was thinking.

After listening to the narration of the red-robed man, the middle-aged man standing next to the old man couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, and scolded the jealous concubine over and over again in his heart.

"The truth about the death of the second lady, keep it tightly sealed, don't let anyone else know, you go back to Chifu immediately to deal with the aftermath. Remember, the second lady died of natural illness, and she has nothing to do with the people of Chifu, and the second lady has to be buried thickly. For those mouthy maids, they pulled out their tongues, and as for the concubine Li, she gouged out her eyes and threw them into the snake prison. The old man calmed down at this time, but a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he said with a solemn face.

"Do you have an opinion! That's your concubine after all!" the old man turned his head and glanced coldly at the middle-aged man next to him.

"Father, this Li family is jealous and jealous, and he is innocent of death, how can the child have an opinion!" Although the middle-aged man said this, he was distressed in his heart.

"Okay, you can go back together, if something goes wrong in this matter, let Yuqi know, don't blame me for being ruthless. The old man's tone was cold, and he said with a grim face.

"Get out of here. The old man leaned back against the Taishi chair, squinting his eyes, secretly thinking in his heart how to tell his grandson Yu Qi about this, or simply hide it from him.

"The subordinates retired. ”

"The child is gone. ”

The black-clothed man kneeling on the ground and the middle-aged man standing aside slowly withdrew from the hall.

"Hmph, your blood guard ability is really great!" the middle-aged man snorted coldly at the red-robed man before he left the hall.

"The subordinates still persuade the second master not to mention this matter again, besides, my blood guard belongs to Chishui Hall, and it is also within my duty to investigate the death of the lady of the Chi family. "The red-robed man doesn't seem to have much respect for the second master in front of him.

"Hmph, Mrs. Chijia? What is she! A woman in a green house! Don't think that if you have a third sister to support you, you dare not take me seriously. Seeing that the red-robed man in front of him didn't have the slightest respect for himself, the second red master couldn't help but be angry.

"Madame is named by the head of the family, the second master is afraid that he has no choice, the second master should take care of himself, otherwise he may make some trouble when he will make the head of the family unhappy. The red-robed man didn't seem to want to say anything more to the second master in front of him, so he turned his head and left.

The middle-aged man clenched his hands, his five fingers were pinched, but he secretly regretted in his heart, why did he choose to do business when he was young, instead of choosing to practice martial arts like the third sister, then maybe the current master of Chishui Hall is him, and his subordinates can mobilize the masters of the entire Chishui Hall, instead of being as powerful and powerless as now.

The middle-aged man secretly regretted it for a while, then turned around and left, he also had to explain the affairs of Zhu Chiyuan, and then went to Chifu to deal with the aftermath.

After the two left, a young man turned out from behind a pillar thirty or forty zhang away, this young man was Chi Yuqi, and his face was full of blue at this time, and his expression was extremely ugly.

Chiyu was about to go back after buying the jade hairpin, but unexpectedly saw his father Chiyu Zhizheng walking with a red-robed man, and for some reason, he subconsciously hid.

Chi Yuqi's hearing was extremely sharp now, and although he was thirty or forty feet away, he could still hear most of what the two people were saying.

When Chi Yuqi heard the two mention the death of Mrs. Chi Jia, he panicked in his chest, after all, his mother was only designated as the second lady.

Chi Yuqi kept hinting that he couldn't be his mother, but the more he listened, the cooler his heart became, but he kept hinting to himself in his heart that his mother was still alive and still on her way here, and they would be reunited soon after, and then her mother would never have to suffer again.
