miscalculation

Chapter 44 Chapter 44

Xiao Qian and his party were assassinated on the third night not long after they left Beijing.The accompanying guards resisted vigorously at first, but when they found out that the other party's target was Qin Xin, they all surrounded Xiao Qian and stood by.However, Xiao Qian went up with his sword in hand, fighting those killers, the guards also had to take the lead bravely, for fear of hurting Xiao Qian.

Although the killer was killed, many guards were killed or injured, especially Xiao Qian's original guards.Seeing such a situation, Qin Xin felt uneasy. He wanted to stay by Xiao Qian's side to lure out this pedestrian, but it also dragged him down.Most of the guards glared at him, but because of Xiao Qian's care for him, they didn't dare to express their views.

Xiao Qian strictly forbids everyone to report the assassination to Beijing, saying that those people are not targeting him, and there is no need to alarm Beijing.But the people sent by Xiao Jue had sent pigeons to report to him.Xiao Jue became more and more anxious, seeing Xiao Qian defending this person so much, he felt that there was something hidden inside.There were not many clues in the graphics of Huaying posted last time.

Qin was grateful to Xiao Qian in his heart, but his attitude didn't change much. Everyone felt that this person was too arrogant.When they landed in Yangshuo, Xiao Qian personally handled the matter of the bank, and only brought Qin Xin and a few guards with him.

The other guards were worried and could only protect secretly.Xiao Qian looked at it, and said: "This is the county seat, the dead dare not kill people in the street, so you don't have to worry too much."

He walked to the gate of Tongji Bank and said to Qin Xin: "I can go in alone, you can go outside."

Qin Xin said: "If you want me to avoid suspicion, just say it."

After he finished speaking, he turned his head and left, the guards were so angry that they wanted to fight him in the street.When Xiao Qian entered the bank, he handed out a 1000 tael bank note and said he wanted to exchange it.Yangshuo is no more than Jiangling, it's just a small county, how could there be such a wealthy guest.When the guy saw it, he even said that he couldn't be the master, so he had to call the shopkeeper to come.

Xiao Qian was not in a hurry, he sat in the back room drinking tea, waited for a while, and saw a middle-aged man of about 40 years old walking in.

The man asked: "The villain's surname is Xue, and he is the treasurer of the Yangshuo branch of Tongji Bank, but you want to exchange 1000 taels of silver notes?"

Xiao Qian said: "Originally I wanted to exchange 1000 taels, but now that I see you, I will use the 1000 taels to buy your bank."

Shopkeeper Xue listened, looked Xiao Qian up and down, and said: "The villain is not talented. Although the silver taels in this bank are not less than the big semicolons, they are not less. The guest officer wants to buy it for 1000 taels. Could it be that he is dealing with the villain?" Are you joking?"

Xiao Qian shook his head, took out a notebook, and read: "Xue Shitong, male, 42 years old, native of Yangshuo, has been in charge of the semicolon for seven years, earning 3 taels a year."

Shopkeeper Xue quickly asked, "If you dare to ask the guest officer, is your surname Xiao?"

"Exactly."

As Xiao Qian spoke, he took out the golden hairpin and waved it in front of his eyes.Shopkeeper Xue took it for a closer look, then knelt down and said, "I don't know if the young master is here, but I hope to forgive the crime. The villain will present the account."

It turned out that the Shen family was imprisoned that day, thanks to Xiao Qian's intercession, the whole family was spared and no longer died in prison.Seeing that his daughter had entrusted the golden hairpin to Xiao Qian on her deathbed, Shen Tianyao came to the door in person and handed over the account book to him.

Shen Tianyao said: "The Shen family is rich and has already attracted people from all walks of life. My Shen family is not like the Pei family. I have Uncle Liu Guo as the backer. I'm not afraid of you blaming me. I thought you were married to Ling Jiao, but Keep my Shen family safe. Unexpectedly, the little girl went like this. I, Shen Tianyao, only have this daughter, and I love her a lot, but now she is sent by a white-haired man to a black-haired man. Even if he is the richest man in the world I can't buy my little girl's life back. The old man had already divided most of the money that day, and it was Ling Jiao's dowry. I thought that if His Highness had any thoughts, he wouldn't be embarrassed about money. I didn't expect God to see that I had a big plan , and took away the most cherished thing of the old man, as a warning. Since the Shen family left the capital, this account can only be mobilized with the gold hairpin to mobilize the Tongji Bank. I hope the prince's men!"

Xiao Qian recalled that when Shen Tianyao handed over the accounts and divided up the family property, he wanted to cut off business with Tongji Bank.Just because Shen Lingjiao is dead, if Xiao Qian is in trouble in the future, it has nothing to do with their Shen family. If there is a big blessing, he will naturally take care of the Shen family for today's golden hairpin.

After Xiao Qian took the account, he couldn't see it clearly for a while, so he just asked the shopkeeper to make another copy and take it away with him.He only said to come back in two days, and then he left the bank.

Unexpectedly, when he just left the bank, he saw that all the guards were not in sight, leaving only one in front of the door."What about the others?" he asked.

The guard didn't expect him to come out so early, he hesitated and couldn't answer.

Xiao Qian said angrily: "Tell me, where did everyone go?"

The guard didn't dare to answer, but only looked up at the alley next to him.Xiao Qian raised his foot and walked towards the alley, but saw the alley twists and turns. After walking for a while, he heard the sound of fighting.His bodyguards are fighting Qin Xin vigorously, and it's quite a life-and-death taste.

Xiao Qian shouted: "Stop!"

When everyone saw him coming, they quickly stopped and stood aside one after another.The leader clasped his fists first and said, "Your Highness, the brothers see Qin Xin's extraordinary martial arts and want to fight him, so we can learn from each other."

Xiao Qian didn't answer, and walked up to Qin Xin first, only to see his sleeves were scratched a few times, he said: "Your clothes are torn, I will ask you to make some new ones to make you an apology."

Qin Xin said: "It doesn't matter, the only thing I can do is to cut through the clothes, so why should my lord make amends for this kind of people."

Everyone said angrily: "You!"

Xiao Qian didn't take it seriously, and said: "Okay, let's go back first, don't talk too much."

Qin Xin and the others followed Xiao Qian back to the inn without saying anything.After dinner, Xiao Qian called all the guards into the room, and then said: "I don't care who you were before, but now you serve me, and you can only listen to me. If you continue to provoke trouble, Kill yourself, if an assassin takes advantage of the opportunity to assassinate this king. How many heads do you have to pay for? If such a thing happens again in the future, this king will send you all away, and only take Qin Xin to travel south of the Yangtze River."

Everyone quickly knelt down and said, "I dare not."

Xiao Qian sneered: "Okay, let's all go down."

After several months like this, the group of them finally arrived in the south of the Yangtze River.Xiao Qian had already sorted out the accounts pretty much, and it was extremely trouble-free to bring two very expert accountants with him.

Today I went to the main store of Tongji Bank, confirmed all the accounts, and after the handover, I was relieved.Xiao Qian felt bored in his heart, so he asked Qin Xin to follow him to wander the streets.Those guards were naturally hiding everywhere, but he should not see them.

When Xiao Qian walked to the largest Xinghualou in the south of the Yangtze River, he wanted to have a good wine.He didn't like to drink at first, he just came here for fame, not to mention the greedy look on Qin Xin's face beside him, which made him secretly laugh again and again.

The Xinghua Building is very elegant, with three floors, and the highest floor seems to be very few people can go up.Xiao Qian didn't show off, he just sat on the second floor and asked Qin Xin to sit with him.The two ordered the most expensive jar of wine, and Xiao Qian only drank a few sips before he heard someone being kicked down the third floor.

The guests on the second floor all looked over for a while, but saw a handsome young man with picturesque features, rolling down in embarrassment.The strange thing is that everyone is not surprised when they see it, and they just bow their heads silently and do their own things.

The handsome young man stood up, not angry, just patted his sleeves, and said: "Hmph, I don't argue with you, dogs can bite people, can people bite dogs?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he was kicked and rolled over to Xiao Qian's table.

The person who kicked him stood at the stairs on the third floor and said, "It's just a thing that thousands of people sleep on and thousands of people whore, how dare they be worthy of being called people."

"If I'm not a human being, then what are you who spent the spring night with me a while ago?"

The man's face was gloomy, he couldn't beat his anger, and shouted: "You boy is impatient."

Seeing Qin Xin, he was quite impatient, and was about to stand up, but Xiao Qian grabbed him.Seeing that Qin Xin was about to make a move, the man simply walked over to their table and said, "Get out of the way, I have to teach this kid a lesson today."

Xiao Qian said: "We're sitting here drinking, it doesn't hinder you. If this gentleman wants to teach you a lesson, just do it, and I will never stop you."

"Oh? That's what you said!"

The man raised his fist and came towards the handsome young master, but the young master threw himself at Xiao Qian, yelling "Help me".Qin Xin pulled him away just now, but saw the puncher turned around, but went straight to him.

Because the two of them were sitting, they were attacked suddenly, they couldn't react in time, but they saw that handsome young man threw Xiao Qian to the ground.Qin Xin narrowly avoided the fist, drew his sword and slashed, but was killed with one move.

He never expected this person to be so useless, but the blood sprayed him and Xiao Qian all over.By this time, the guards had already heard the movement and went upstairs.Xiao Qian had already pushed that handsome young man away, but his face turned pale and he couldn't say a word.

Xiao Qian was greatly surprised, so he stepped forward and tugged at his sleeve, asking: "What's wrong with you?"

Young Master Qingxiu laughed three times, and said: "Withered bamboo leaves turn yellow, carps transform into dragons, how can I be with Lin?"

Qin Xin hurriedly stepped forward to check the corpse, and said after checking the corpse, "He has taken poison."

Xiao Qian recalled what he said just now, and was surprised in his heart, only felt that this matter was strange.He was about to stand up, but his eyes were full of emptiness, and he passed out and fell to the ground.
