Inside the high courtyard wall, in a magnificent and elegant study.

"Master Hou, Vice General Chen said that he had something to ask to see you. The servant respectfully replied to the man sitting at the wooden table, his eyelids just raised enough to see the table.

And the majestic man sitting on the desk is none other than Marquis Qi. Hou Ye Qi raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and asked casually, "Is there something wrong with him?"

The little servant replied: "Vice General Chen said that it was the matter of Steward Wang, and he also brought two people. ”

Hearing this, Marquis Qi suddenly raised his head, muttered for a moment and then ordered, "Bring them in." ”

Not long after, three men walked in, two of them were Liu Ping and his eldest brother Liu Li, and the other was naturally Vice General Chen.

Vice General Chen took the two of them forward and saluted respectfully, but Marquis Qi only nodded slightly, and waved his hand to let all his subordinates leave.

In the closed door, Marquis Qi frowned: "It's been seven days since the news of Wang Zhong was found in the barren mountains outside the city, and you haven't found those two girls yet? ”

Vice General Chen heard the displeasure in Hou Ye's words, and hurriedly smiled: "Hou Ye also knows that there are millions of people in this imperial capital, and it is indeed difficult to find two girls in the vast sea of people. ”

"Hmph, the two of them are not ordinary girls, if you look for them again, you must find them for Ben Hou, if you think you can deal with things casually・・・・・" Qi Houye's eyes narrowed slightly, and his sharp gaze approached Vice General Chen.

"Yes, the last general should do his best, Master Hou, the last general came today because he already had clues about these two girls. He turned his gaze to Liu Li and the others, "This name is Liu Li, he is a merchant, he has a caravan under his command, and his younger brother Liu Ping follows the last general to learn martial arts, so they have some friendship with each other. ”

Qi Houye's viper-like cold gaze swept over immediately, making Liu Ping take a step back without a trace. Liu Li had to sigh slightly in his heart, and then stepped forward and said: "Master Hou, this is also something we unintentionally discovered, as for whether the person is the person you are looking for, we don't know very well, I don't know the ・・・・・・"

The corners of Qi Houye's mouth lifted, "Don't worry, whether it's right or wrong, don't do your business, you just need to tell the truth." If you are really the person you are looking for, you will naturally be indispensable. ”

Liu Li quietly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and then told the two of them about leading the team to the north to do business and the matter of the drunken building last night.

Qi Houye groaned slightly, got up and paced in the study, "You mean these two women are disguised as men, and they are still swaggering around in the imperial capital?"

Liu Li replied with some hesitation: "Listening to the recent rumors, there is suddenly an additional third prince of the imperial capital in this capital, who is said to be extremely handsome and comparable to a woman. I didn't think anything of it when I heard it, but they appeared in the Drunken Heart Building last night, and Liu Ping and I happened to be there, and one of them had a very similar appearance to the girl we met in a remote town in the north, and they both had a faint golden mark on their foreheads. ”

"Isn't there only two people, where did the third prince of the imperial capital come from?" asked Qi Houye impatiently.

"I heard from the driver who drove that day that there were not many people who went up the mountain that day, and they only saw another group of people going up the mountain, and it is said that there was also a girl in that group. Vice General Chen saw that Marquis Qi was displeased, and replied cautiously.

"Pale golden nicks・・・・・ "Marquis Qi groaned slightly, and ordered outside the door: "Go, call the smoke in front of Madame." ”

After a while, a pretty maid walked in, knelt down softly with her head bowed, "Say hello to Master Hou." ”

"Yanran, Ben Hou asked you, do you still have an impression of the two girls who treated Mrs. that day?"

Yan Ran was stunned for a moment, and then said with some shame: "Master Hou, I was too worried about my wife's condition that day, although those two girls have outstanding temperaments, but other than that, I didn't care too much. ”

Vice General Chen saw Hou Ye's slightly disappointed expression, and hurriedly smiled: "Hou Ye, there are so many people in the house, just ask a few more people, you are Hou Ye, are you still worried about not being able to find two young girls?"

Yanran withdrew from the study, and exhaled softly in his heart. Those two girls with natural appearances, how could she forget, presumably no one would be able to forget them at a glance. Especially the girl in the long blue dress, under the reflection of the sun, the pale gold notch on her forehead lined her face so holy and pure, like a flawless jade.

It's just that through a hint of ridicule in Yanran's eyes, she is Madame's maid in the end, so she naturally has to think about Madame everywhere, if she really lets Hou Ye find those two beautiful girls and accidentally enter the mansion, it will be a great blow and threat to Madame, how can she allow this kind of thing to happen.

"Have you sent anyone to find out where these three sons live?"

"Master Hou, we have found out that they live in the Imperial Capital Inn, do we want to send someone to arrest them back?" Vice General Chen looked excited. And looking at his appearance, Liu Li sighed lightly in his heart, although this Vice General Chen is excellent in martial arts, but his mind is too simple, his mood is colorful, and it is easy to be calculated, it seems that Liu Ping followed him, but he also learned this characteristic.

"Imperial Capital Inn?" Qi Houye's eyelids jumped, "The people living in the Imperial Capital Inn are very human, are they the children of the family?"

"The last general has never heard of any family with such a few sons, and they have not visited any mansion in the city in the past few days, it must be a businessman from other provinces, you also know that although most of the people living in the imperial capital inn are the children of bureaucrats and their families, but if they are extremely rich businessmen, as long as they are willing to spend a lot of money, they can still live in it. ”

"Well," Qi Houye's fingers tapped on the handle of the Nanmu chair without a trace, and his eyes swept to the two brothers Liu Li and Liu Ping, "Thank you for providing clues, these two girls have something to do with my house, I still need to find them, you two, please go to the guest room to rest first, if you need anything, just mention it." It's just something," Qi Houye paused slightly, his eyes were full of threats, and he took a sip of tea casually: "The two of you should know what to say and what not to say." ”

A look of excitement appeared on Liu Ping, and just as he was about to speak, Liu Li hurriedly pulled him, and flew a sharp eye knife at the latter, making Liu Ping swallow the words that came to his mouth.

"Hehe, thank you Hou Ye, since Hou Ye and Vice General Chen still have important matters to discuss, it is inconvenient for my brothers to disturb more in the house, so I will leave. After seeing Qi Hou Ye nodding, Liu Li hurriedly dragged Liu Ping and walked out of Qi Hou's Mansion at a very fast speed.

"Big brother, why don't you let me speak, who is Qi Houye, what kind of place is this, let's provide him with a valuable news, it's hard to let such a big man owe us a personal favor, you don't take advantage of the opportunity to fight for something, it's really stubborn." Liu Ping hummed dissatisfied.

"Nonsense! Do you want something or do you want to die," Liu Li asked him sharply: "Don't you see how ugly Qi Houye's face is? Don't use your brain to think about it, what kind of relationship can those two girls have with Qi Hou Mansion, they have offended Qi Hou Mansion regularly, if so, the two of them will suffer a big loss at best, and their lives will be at worst." He pondered for a moment, "And, in my opinion, these two girls should not be ordinary people, although the Marquis of Qi is looking for them, he does not dare to speak out, there must be a hidden secret in this, if so, it would be good if the Marquis Mansion did not kill us, you still dare to ask for his favor, it is really a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers." Liu Li rolled his eyes and sighed in his heart, maybe this idle matter shouldn't be taken care of.

In the study, Qi Houye asked Vice General Chen: "Can the words of the two of them be serious?" "It's true, they also said this when they came to find the little one before, and they didn't hide it." Vice General Chen nodded like pounding garlic, looking like a dog's leg.

Qi Hou Ye thought for a while, and said: "The Imperial Capital Inn is not easy to provoke, and we can't have a conflict with them, tomorrow you report to the official, just say that the housekeeper died in the Hou Mansion, and the doctor died in the Zhou family pharmacy has something to do with these two girls, let the government interrogate the two, and by the way, you can also find out the details of the two." Hmph, these two girls must fall into my hands. ”

"Yes, yes, the last general will do it tomorrow, hehe, or Hou Ye is thoughtful. “

A strange smile suddenly appeared on Qi Houye's expressionless face, and the essence in his eyes flashed.

There must be better wood lingzhi and treasures on them, I must get them!
