My husband is a monster

When Yuan Che and Wen Sheng arrived at the attic of the inn, there were already two stewards waiting there.

"What's going on? How did Wenqin mess with the government?"

A middle-aged manager with a small beard handed a small note made by others to Yuan Che, and replied: "The specific situation has not been found out yet, the official tone is very tight, Wenqin should find a way to pass it on to the store. Otherwise, we would still be kept in the dark. Wenqin said that he was the only one left among the people who ran away with him, and the others were gone. As for Wenqin, he was still detained in the hands of the government. superior."

Yuan Che took the note and opened it. It was indeed Wen Qin's handwriting, a little messy and scribbled. The person who wrote it seemed to have weak wrists and lack of energy.

"Wen Qin was injured?" It seemed that she was still seriously injured.

"This..." The steward lowered his head, there was no mention in the note, but if you use this to speculate, it is easy to guess, "It should be."

"When will the people from the government and Wenqin enter the city?"

"According to their itinerary, they will arrive in about three days. Master, shall we send someone to pick them up?"

Yuan Che tapped his knuckles on the table, pondered for a while, "No, we pretend not to know about this for the time being, and you all tighten your mouth so that it doesn't leak out."

"Why?" The other manager was puzzled.

"We have 13 people in total who went out to run the goods this time, and counting the people from the escort agency, we have a total of 28 people. These people travel around all the year round, so it's no problem to deal with some Xiao Xiaoxiao, but!" Yuan Che said. His voice sank, "Except for Wenqin, everyone else is dead! More than [-] people died, but the government is crushing them to death. We, the sufferers, only know this news until now. Why didn't those people Killed? The only survivor was detained by them, I am afraid that this involves something that the imperial court does not want us common people to know."

"So, that's it?"

"We can't just let it go! If I'm not wrong, they were just unfortunately involved in the affairs of the court, resulting in the loss of innocent lives. I believe that the government will give us an explanation!" Otherwise, how could the more than 20 dead souls survive? rest in peace?

For a while, no one spoke. They had dealt with all kinds of people in society for so many years, so they naturally knew the twists and turns.

"However, there are some things we cannot do now, but there are some things we can prepare in advance."

"Yes."

"..."

The two stewards and Wen Sheng got the job, and they resigned after a while, and went down to make arrangements.Yuan Che was the only one left in the room.

Yuan Che rubbed his tired eyebrows, feeling heavy in his heart, more than 20 lives!just gone...

When he didn't contact Wenqin a few days ago, he had already asked people to inquire about it. Unfortunately, before those people sent back the news, Wenqin sent a message by himself first, even though he was already prepared for Wenqin's trouble this time. , but did not expect it to be so serious.

Yuan Che is well aware of how risky it is to go out and run a business. Even in a peaceful era, there are still poor mountains and bad waters, bearded and unruly bullies. Losing is a trivial matter. When people are gone, everything is gone.

Even his father was injured by robbers because he was running a business. The injury was too serious. Although he lost his life, his body was still broken. Therefore, his father passed away early...

Yuan Che blinked his sore eyes. Since he took over the family business, it has been smooth sailing for five or six years. He suddenly suffered such a heavy blow. Even though he was still calm and rational in front of outsiders, he still showed a bit of fragility when he was alone.

If he hadn't arranged for them to run a business...if he had gone then, wouldn't it have been different?

"Ling Zhifeng, you crow's mouth..." Yuan Che smiled wryly, thinking of the gossip Ling Zhifeng had told him before, he guessed that Wenqin and the others must have encountered the most important criminals pursued by the court.

Originally, even if I heard that there were not many people outside, I always felt very far away when it didn’t happen to me. When things happened to me, I realized that death and accidents are everywhere. Living people, maybe the next moment It's gone.

Yuan Che wiped his face fiercely, collected his mood, raised his spirits, and began to deal with related matters in advance.

The candles in the attic were lit all night.

Yuan Che only stepped out when the sky was slightly bright, even though he hadn't slept all night, he didn't look listless.

Back at home, I washed up, took a few bites, looked at Wen Qi who was quietly serving, thought of the relationship between him and Wen Qin, and looked at Wen Qi who knew nothing, and felt a little bit ashamed.

But no matter what, it is impossible for Yuan Che to tell him those things, "Get ready, I will go to the prefect's house later."

Wen Qi said yes, and went down to prepare a small gift.

His family and the magistrate's family have also been friends for many years. Because of love, he should have brought Lin Youan to visit in person, but since he got married, he has been busy and has no special free time. Lin Youan is 'uncomfortable' these days. Can't take it out of the house, otherwise it will be difficult to explain.

But he wanted to inquire about something, and he couldn't delay, so he had to go to the door alone.

Not long after, Wen Qi had prepared the gift, brought a few servants with him, and Yuan Che went out to visit.

The magistrate of Linfeng City was surnamed Li and named Zhengting. He had a father and a brother. The elder brother married the young master of the prefect of the neighboring prefecture the year before last.My father, Li Shaonian, also got married last year and is currently going to Beijing for the exam. He is a very talented person.

Although the two families have a close relationship, he and Li Shaonian are not very close. He is three years older than Li Shaonian, and he left home to study with a teacher when he was eight years old. The friendship between young children has long been forgotten, and they only became acquainted in recent years.Nothing can compare to the love that grew up with Ling Zhifeng.

The Li family's mansion is not far from Yuan's house, it only needs to walk a stick of incense to get there.

After being notified by the concierge, he was quickly welcomed in.

When Yuan Che came to the main hall under the leadership of his servants, Li Zhengting was already waiting there. He was dressed in normal clothes, with clear eyes and a refined demeanor. He looked at Yuan Che very kindly.

Yuan Che stepped forward and gave a junior salute, "Uncle, my nephew has come to bother you."

"Nephew, you don't need to be too polite." Li Zhengting gave him a little support, "Your uncle has been talking about you for the past few days. It's just right to come, so you can't leave so early today."

Yuan Che smiled and nodded in agreement, and then apologized: "I'm really sorry, my nephew should have come to visit with his wife as soon as possible, but my wife has been feeling a little unwell these days, so... my nephew and my wife will come to ask for forgiveness someday."

"My nephew is serious. I've also heard about my nephew's husband. Your uncle is still thinking about going to visit him. Is your nephew's husband getting better?"

"Please worry about it, Madam is fine."

"It's fine."

Yuan Che and Li Zhengting chatted about their daily life and strolled in the courtyard, greeted each other about their recent situation, and played a few games of chess in the viewing pavilion.

"Not bad, good progress." Li Zhengting laughed loudly, even losing two games in three games did not affect his mood, and praised, "It seems that even though he is busy with business, he has not forgotten to think about his chess skills."

Yuan Che also laughed, thinking of the reason why his chess skills have improved so fast, he cried like a villain in his heart.

"Wen Qin hasn't come back yet?" Li Zhengting asked suddenly.

Generally speaking, with Li Zhengting's identity, he would not remember a servant, but Wenqin was different. He was an orphan picked up by Yuan's father. Grateful, he has been loyal and peaceful as Yuan Che's right-hand man. Li Zhengting has always had a good impression of this loyal and clever guy.

"I went out to run a business a while ago, and I haven't come back yet." Speaking of this, Yuan Che lost his expression.

Li Zhengting frowned slightly, and said earnestly: "If possible, let Wenqin come back as soon as possible."

Yuan Che frowned, "Uncle."

"I won't hide it from you. Two days ago, I received news from an old friend in the capital that a villain stole a treasure from the Master of the State and fled. The original direction of escape was not my side of Linfeng City, but For some reason, I turned to this side again, and my friend sent me a message in a hurry, telling me to prepare early. The villain is extremely cruel, and he committed countless lives in his hands. The imperial court sent a national guard Go and arrest him, but unfortunately the villain is still at large.”

The court has always been quite taboo about the matter involving the National Teacher. His good friend hurriedly sent the letter because he saw that the murderer was about to flee to the prefecture he was in charge of.

He was busy all day yesterday secretly ordering enhanced security and patrolling. He originally thought that someone would send a message for Yuan Che to come to the mansion today, but he didn't expect him to come here early in the morning.

"To be honest, Wenqin and the others happened to meet..." Yuan Che smiled wryly, without hiding it, "Except for Wenqin who was rescued by the court, everyone else died..." Yuan Che's face was heavy.

Li Zhengting didn't expect Yuan Che's men to run into him not long after he knew the news, he could only say that the prisoner fled so fast that people were caught off guard, and he patted Yuan Che on the shoulder comfortingly, "Condolences. Since Wenqin was rescued by the court, her life should be safe."

The scary thing is that if Wenqin knows something he shouldn't know, will the people in the court silence him? But since they rescued Wenqin, they shouldn't do anything unnecessary to silence him, right?Yuan Che could only comfort himself like this.

"Uncle, according to my guess, the murderer should have fled to the area of ​​Linfeng City, you..."

"Nephew, don't worry, I have strengthened my guard both openly and secretly, and I will not let that thief harm the people of Linfeng City!" Li Zhengting said this, but his expression was not relaxed. , how can their city guards tolerate him?

At this time, the housekeeper of the mansion came to report an urgent case from the capital.

Li Zhengting didn't shy away from it, and opened it directly. After reading it, his expression relaxed, and he folded the letter and handed it back to the supervisor. Going out in person, it is estimated that he will be arrested and brought to justice in the near future, and beheaded for public display to sue the spirit of the dead.

"Master of the State Teacher?" There has been a position of State Teacher in the past dynasties here. It is said that the State Teacher is boundless and mysterious. He can watch the sky at night, divination, and pray for rain. , The authority of the national teacher is equivalent to the imperial power, and the national teacher can even control the succession of the throne.

Yuan Che has only heard of this national teacher's name. In his opinion, if that national teacher really has so-called magic, wouldn't it be a fantasy?He has always thought that the national teacher is a high-level liar who only plays tricks. Of course, he has always buried such disrespectful remarks in his heart, otherwise it will definitely come out of his mouth.

But didn't this Master of the State Teacher never leave Beijing easily?It is said that I have not been out of Beijing for almost 15 years.

"With Master Guoshi around, it won't be long before Xiaoxiao is rampant. Master Guoshi must not bear the misfortune of more people. Seeing that several of the National Guards were damaged in the arrest, he decided to take action himself."

"It's best like this." It seems that the national teacher really has two skills, and he rushes to do things that others can't avoid. Although there may be reasons why the murderer stole his things, at least he is not afraid of trouble.That Guoshi is definitely a martial arts master without accidents!Yuan Che imagined in his mind the image of a dignified and dignified national teacher with white beard and white hair, and felt more and more mysterious about this ancient times.

"Uncle, if there is a place for my nephew, this junior is obliged." Wenqin is still in the hands of the court, and his own people lost their lives because of it. If Yuan Che can help revenge as much as he can, he will do whatever it takes.

"must."

……

When Yuan Che left Li's Mansion, it was just dark, walking on the street, the night market had just started, and it was still very lively, but the difference was that after a while, you could see groups of officers and soldiers patrolling the streets, and the martial law was indeed a lot tighter.

Wen Qi has always been caring and caring, so he immediately saw that something was wrong in the city, so he couldn't help shouting, "Young master?" The young master suddenly visited Li's mansion.

"Nothing, I can take care of it."

Yuan Che didn't want to say too much, the more people who knew about it, the more worried he would be.

All the way back home in silence, sitting in the study, Yuan Che rubbed his tired brows, finally got a bottom line in his mind.

At least Wenqin's life is safe for the time being, which is a good thing.Only when Wenqin comes back will he be able to get Wenqin out.

According to the meaning revealed by the uncle, the murderer's martial arts were treacherous and bloodthirsty, and he had the audacity to steal something from the heavily guarded National Teacher Tower. Unfortunately, the National Teacher was in retreat at that time, and the weak guards wanted to atone for his sin Unfortunately, there is nothing that can be done about that murderer. Seeing that more and more innocent people were killed because of this, the chief general of the national defense had no choice but to report to the master of the country.After hearing this, the master of the national teacher was furious immediately, and immediately left the customs, and came to arrest him in person.

Regardless of the facts, Yuan Che only wanted to bring Wenqin out and let the twenty or so dead souls rest in peace.

The murderer fled to the area of ​​Linfeng City. How could Linfeng City be his base camp? Yuan Che pondered, he had already told his subordinates to pay attention to strangers entering and leaving Linfeng City. If there is any news, he would not mind meeting for a while. If he can be caught with his own hands, it can be regarded as revenge for his brothers.

It's a pity that the murderer's identity and appearance are unique. Except for Wenqin and others who have seen him, they are all dead. Wenqin tried his best to pass on the note without revealing this information, otherwise it probably wouldn't have been passed on to him, and those national guards were tight-lipped. , didn't show it at all, otherwise it would be easier to find.

Staring at the flickering candlelight, Yuan Che sorted out his thoughts and stayed in the room. Yuan Che couldn't sit still for a while, so he went out again and went to the restaurant.
