[Caiyun Kingdom] The beginning of people
Chapter 12
"I found out clearly." The servant Wang Dali trotted into the study.
I closed the account book of Zhang's family that I was checking, looked up and said, "Let's hear it."
"Yes!" Wang Dali said clearly, "At that time, young lady and Mr. Guan and Mr. Zhong were separated. Some hooligans in the city told me that some of them took money and deliberately created chaos. That arrow was the signal. "
I thought about this at the time, "Well, let's continue."
"When the two sons were squeezed away, that old master Lin bumped into the two masters at once, then jumped away screaming, and lay on the ground after a while. His mother then ran out and said that it was Mr. Lin. Qi was beaten to death by two young masters."
"What did the government say?"
"Lao Qi Lin's wife has sued the government. Now the State Shepherd's Office has accepted the case. They say that the situation was chaotic at that time, and there were some mistakes in pushing and pushing. They will sue the two young masters for manslaughter."
I cheered secretly.Manslaughter will not be sentenced to death, so there is no need to report the case to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and the case can be handled only with the authority of the state pastor.From this point of view, the person who made the move this time was the state shepherd himself, not the state chief Hu Dongnian, no wonder the way of doing things was different, a little more fast and ruthless.
"How about the body?"
Wang Dali chuckled, "Last night, there was a fire in Yizhuang, and it was said that the body was burned, and there was only an autopsy report made by the autopsy. Isn't it up to them to write it? Miss, do you think we should burn that Lin Lin?" Find Lao Qi? I think he is not dead at all!"
"No, they didn't die when they left Yizhuang, and they are probably dead now, so there is no need to look for them again." Killing people to silence them, I think they do it very skillfully.
After thinking about it, Wang Dali understood, "Oh, Miss is right."
"Dali, you did a good job this time."
"Thank you ma'am!"
I smiled and said, "Okay, you go out first, and invite Mr. Liu, the clerk, along the way."
Not long after, I received a letter from my father this morning from Mr. Liu.After he left, I opened it, and in the letter, besides some funny things, my father only said one thing—he was assassinated and he was fine.I slowly sat down behind the desk, laid the letter paper flat on the desk, smoothed out the creases little by little, and put the letter back into the drawer.
After closing the drawer, after a while, I slowly raised my hand and slapped hard on the table.
"Boom!"
It's just ridiculous!absurd!
I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, opened my eyes, got up and walked to the window of the study, overlooking the courtyard already stained with snow.
These bastards really set their minds on their father.
Our Zhang family is not the only rich family in Heizhou, but we are the ones with the least influence behind them, and we are also the ones with the weakest population.Once my father and I are both dead, and the Zhang family has long since separated, the unowned property will be confiscated by the government.Assassinating my father and me is a warning to us—if we don't cooperate, they will actually kill me next time.After all, the act of killing people and stealing money is too big. Now they don't want to make a big deal of it, so they want to use the people around me as a threat to make me voluntarily succumb.
Speaking of which, Kui Huangyi chose the Zhang family because of our helplessness.My father has been in business for many years and is experienced. Just because he can guard the Zhang family doesn't mean I can too.
The sky was getting dark gradually, and there were little snowflakes drifting down leisurely.
I sighed, sat back at the desk, and continued to deal with the affairs of the Zhang family.
It was only when the lights came on that Yan Tian came to remind me to take a rest.On the way back to the room, I asked Yan Tian to take out some old wines in preparation for apologizing to Guan Feixiang.Their imprisonment this time is all because the State Shepherd's Mansion wanted to blackmail me.
"Miss, what about Mr. Zhong's share?"
"Copy a copy of the copybook I sent you a few days ago." It's not because I'm being mean, but because Zhong Jietong would never accept the original copybook.
"Miss, you can take a bath if you are tired." Sitting in front of the dressing table, Yan Tian helped me press my shoulders, "You don't want to save some firewood, do you?"
I smiled and turned to look at her, "Why are you becoming more considerate today?"
"The two sons are in jail, are you worried? Your complexion is a bit ugly."
I chuckled, "They're used to being in prison, so I'm not worried about their situation in prison." I untied my hair tie, "Since I know the other party's purpose, I'll just let it go, there's nothing to worry about. "I just feel tired.
Although Yan Tian often speaks surprisingly, she actually doesn't talk much.She quietly helped me pack up, waited for me to fall asleep, and then retreated.
I had no dreams all night and slept so soundly that I almost couldn't wake up the next morning.My limbs are so sore and my head is groggy. I think I am a little sick.
"Miss." With a wooden face, Yan Tian persistently placed a bowl of ginger soup in front of me.
"...Actually, I'm not sure if I have a cold..."
"You can warm your body even if you don't have a cold. Miss, if you don't like drinking, please tell me directly. It's not the first day I've been with you. You also know that drinking is good, so don't talk nonsense with me anymore."
There's nothing she can do.I drank it with a wry smile.
It's really a little spirited.
"Send people to Xiao's mansion and say that I will come over today."
Yan Tian tilted her head and blinked her eyes, "Do you want me to call both Xiao Xiao and Ah Wen? Oh, the clerk, Mr. Liu, has invited many nursing homes recently. Do you want to call them all to accompany you?" ?”
"...Are you planning to demolish the Xiao Mansion?"
"Don't say you don't want to."
I patted her arm lightly, "Wait a minute, now we will show weakness first. If the gap between the front and the back is too big, they will definitely become arrogant. If you want to play hard to get, wait a little longer and we will demolish them in one fell swoop."
"Miss, the most poisonous thing is a woman's heart."
I smiled and turned around to change into the clothes to go out, "Who is non-toxic and not a husband?"
I have been to Xiao's Mansion and reached an agreement. At noon, I will go to the cell to pick up Guan Feixiang and Zhong Jietong personally, hold a banquet in Dongzhu Tower, and make a good apology to them.
"It's unreasonable! They are really deceiving people!" Zhong Jietong slammed the table until his face turned red with anger.
"Since you said that their goal is to blackmail you," Guan Feixiang put his foot on the table and looked at me, "then we are released now, is it because you agreed to their conditions?"
"It was all because of me," I poured them a glass of wine, "it's too late for me to make amends, so naturally I will release you first. Don't worry, I have my own plan." I joked, "Fly, Do you want the housekeeper to rescue you? I remember someone was running away from home."
Zhong Jietong stood up abruptly, "No, that's simply robbery, I want to sue! As a parent official, Zhou Mu has no reason to covet the wealth of the common people?"
I pulled his sleeve and forced him to sit down, "I said, I have plans, it doesn't matter."
"What did you promise?" Fei Xiang crossed his arms.
"I promise to be engaged to Xiao Jin."
"What!" Zhong Jietong stood up abruptly again.
I stretched out my hand again and pulled him to sit down, "Listen to me, I've already made a plan." I waved Yan Tian to watch outside the door, and then continued in a soft voice, "I won't really marry. Jie Brother Tong, don't be angry," I smiled slightly, "As far as I know, someone from Yushitai has already arrived."
So just knock them down before I actually get married.It would be better to make a marriage, the relationship is closer, but I was reluctant in every possible way before because I was afraid that I would be implicated in the downfall of the Xiao family, or that outsiders would see the role of the Zhang family in this matter.In-laws are very important in this day and age, and being engaged is a conspicuous relationship.But at this point, I can't do anything. The key now is how to obtain information without being implicated by the Xiao family.
When it comes to this, I can't be wrong at all.
"But..." Zhong Jietong clenched his fists, "Zhang Zhang, this will damage your reputation."
Ah, it turns out that there are still people who are really worried about my boudoir reputation, Zhong Shusheng, you are really a super nice person.
"Azhang," Guan Feixiang raised his head and downed a glass of wine in one gulp, put it on the table with a bang, resting his arms on the table, "I recognize you. If you want, we will get married today How about brothers and sisters with different surnames?"
I froze.
I like flying very much. He is smart, but he has a heart of innocence, and he is loyal enough. The problem is the housekeeper behind him.This kind of gangster also needs to maintain a relationship that is neither far nor near-if it is far away, it is difficult to find them to cooperate; if it is close, it will cause many troubles that the white gang should not be involved in.Feixiang understands the problems in this aspect, and he rarely talked to me about the housekeeper in his previous interactions, because conversely, he is also not good at getting too close to a businesswoman like me.But he still proposed to marry him today.
"Flying," I said softly, "I said, I have my own plan. This incident was started by me, and I also have my own plan." So if it's just to thank me, don't do it .
"But you didn't have to do this, did you? That's fine, if you want it or not, it's just one sentence! Zhang, don't be dawdling all the time."
Well, I also recognize Guan Feixiang.I laughed and raised my full wine glass, "Then I have met my brother." One of them raised his head and drank the wine, and I turned the glass upside down towards him, signaling that the glass bottomed out.
"Okay!" Feixiang laughed and patted the table.
"Wait!" Zhong Jiemin picked up the wine glass, and even though he didn't like drinking, he frowned and forced himself to down a glass, "Count me in as well."
Later, Jietong and Feixiang quarreled for a long time about the sequence of teeth. Both of them were vying to be the eldest brother. In the end, the older Jietong became the eldest brother, Feixiang was the second brother, and I was the third.We had a good time and didn't say goodbye until it was dark.I also drank a little too much, and I became more and more dizzy when I was shaken in the sedan chair.I walked into the mansion holding my forehead, Yan Tian was also afraid that I would fall, so she followed suit.
Pushing open the door and entering the room, Yan Tian went to get me water to wash my face, and I lay down on the table without even lighting a candle.
I rest my chin on my forearm and laugh.
Today is really a happy day, Sai Weng lost his horse.
A few days later, the Xiao family came to the Zhang Mansion with great gongs and drums to apply for an appointment. They were so anxious that they gave up other extravagant rituals and customs, and just issued the letter of appointment.Miss Xiao Gui of the Xiao Mansion also followed the team, she pulled me into the back yard, sat down in my room and drank a few sips of tea, playing tricks for quite a while.I just refused to answer her words, and in the end she opened up first.
"Zelan from the Zhang family, you came to beg our Xiao family to help you save your two friends, and we did." Xiao Gui stared at me, "You promised to use the Zhang family as a dowry? I thought..." She was ashamed, and she was not ashamed to talk about money.
"Miss Xiao, since it is a dowry, naturally we have to wait until I get married. What's more, even if I am married, women's dowry is managed by themselves, Miss Xiao," I picked up the teacup and took a sip, "Would you like it?" Could it be a misunderstanding?"
"You!" Xiao Gui stood up, his face livid, "You really are a cunning person!"
"No business, no adultery." I took out a handkerchief and pursed my lips lightly.
"You...you..." Xiao Gui took a few deep breaths, "Do you think you are the only one who dares to play tricks on us? We can settle that case, and we have the ability to make it big!"
"I'm just talking about business. Haven't you ever thought that what the Xiao family can bring me is not enough for me to pay my dowry?"
"You despise us?" Her eyes widened in disbelief.
"Of course you can get asylum if you marry into an official family, but I can get asylum based on the transfer of benefits. Do you want to push away the marriage in the Xiao Mansion?" I smiled and looked at Xiao Gui, "Since you are from your own family, you have to show some sincerity." I reached out and picked up the copper candlestick on the table seemingly unintentionally.
"We have let your friend go, don't be greedy!"
Insatiable?Then let me show you.
"We all know what is wrong with manslaughter. Why do you have to use threats? What is the Xiao family wanting my property for? You have to give me the truth, or I won't let it go." My money was in vain. However, the two families are still married, so I will not stand idly by. During the New Year, Zhang’s business will reconcile the account and put it into the treasury... At that time, I will give 1 taels first, is that okay?” I asked. Playing with the copper candlestick in his hand, as if pointing something.
Xiao Gui looked at the copper candlestick, his expression changed several times, he endured and endured, and finally walked away.
People from the State Shepherd's Mansion assassinated my father and me, and warned us that the wealth that we have no owner would go to the government. It can be seen that they guessed that I knew that the Xiao family's money would eventually flow to the State Shepherd's Mansion.However, they probably don't know that I have teamed up with Yushi, so they think that I want to use this to get more benefits from the State Shepherd's Mansion, and they are greedy.Her lack of defense is my opportunity.
"Yan Tian." I called out.
"Miss."
"The people we have placed in Xiao's residence, let them cheer up today, and must pay attention to Miss Xiao's words and deeds."
"Yes."
Xiao Gui is smarter than her elder brother Xiao Jin, and has always been favored at home, even she knows a thing or two about the copper mine this time.It's a pity that she was raised in the deep front, and she is more prone to clichés than Xiao Jin, and she can't calm down when things happen.I kept asking, and she would suspect that I already knew something more.If she went to discuss with her family about me and Tongsulph while feeling uneasy, then the person I sent to follow might be able to succeed.
They have always kept the location of the copper mine under wraps, and they couldn't even find out Kui Huangyi who was lurking beside Hu Dongnian, the governor of the state. I could only find a breakthrough in Xiao Gui.I'm not sure if I can succeed this time, because the strategy is too roundabout, and it won't work if I miscalculate even one link.If it doesn't work, I have no choice but to force her to speak out, but if it is not absolutely necessary, I still don't want to directly involve too much.
Now I can only pray that I am not mistaken about Xiao Gui's character, so that I don't have to take that bad strategy.
I lost the matter of Feixiang and Jietong being framed. If I take a step back from the bottom line of engagement that I have been guarding all along, then the next step will not be easy to back down. Once I step out of the bottom line, I will play with firecrackers.
That night, news came from the person who was placed in Xiao's residence.
My plan worked.
Xiao Gui asked her father and brother about the copper mine, which was overheard by my people.
I sent another message asking Kui Huangyi to leave the mansion immediately, and at the same time packed up my travel clothes.I had just packed up when Kui Huangyi pushed the door open and entered.
I smiled and said, "There is news." He turned around to close the door, and I raised my hand to stop him, "Is Mrs. Unknown Kui in the mood to go out for a walk?" Instead of talking, it's better to go directly to check the copper mine location.
He thought about it for a few seconds before nodding his head, so we went out in the dark without taking anyone with us.According to the news, the copper mine is not far from the north of Yuanyou City, the capital of the state.Thanks to our search for so long, Kui Huangyi and I even spent several nights studying the location of the mine veins in Heizhou, but we still couldn't figure out the location of the private mine. It turned out that it was just dark under the lights.This matter is of great importance, and we cannot hand it over to others; in order to avoid leaking information, we must act quickly, so I decided to leave immediately.
The gate of the city had already been closed, but seeing Kui Huangyi throwing a warrant to the soldiers guarding the city, they let it go after looking at it, and I also saved trouble, not having to ask the little soldier who was bribed by the Zhang family early in the morning to help.
About two hours later, Kui Huangyi and I stopped the horse at the foot of a barren mountain.
"Woo!" Kui Huangyi reined in the reins, got off the horse, and helped me to get off the horse.
Ignoring the discomfort under my body, I pointed to the mountain, "It's on the mountainside. I think it's better not to ride a horse up, so as not to make too much noise." It seems that I really want to learn how to ride a horse from Fei Xiang, and follow Kui Huangyi After running for two hours in a row, I really reached my limit.
In fact, I am really happy to be able to walk on the ground, ha.
"Hmm." Kui Huangyi tied the horse in a hidden place, and then we stepped on the snow with a cloak on, and marched towards the mountainside step by step.
The time has entered December, and when the last move falls, the dust will settle.
The author has something to say: I worked hard today, and I will add another chapter before ten o'clock in the evening
I closed the account book of Zhang's family that I was checking, looked up and said, "Let's hear it."
"Yes!" Wang Dali said clearly, "At that time, young lady and Mr. Guan and Mr. Zhong were separated. Some hooligans in the city told me that some of them took money and deliberately created chaos. That arrow was the signal. "

"When the two sons were squeezed away, that old master Lin bumped into the two masters at once, then jumped away screaming, and lay on the ground after a while. His mother then ran out and said that it was Mr. Lin. Qi was beaten to death by two young masters."
"What did the government say?"
"Lao Qi Lin's wife has sued the government. Now the State Shepherd's Office has accepted the case. They say that the situation was chaotic at that time, and there were some mistakes in pushing and pushing. They will sue the two young masters for manslaughter."
I cheered secretly.Manslaughter will not be sentenced to death, so there is no need to report the case to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and the case can be handled only with the authority of the state pastor.From this point of view, the person who made the move this time was the state shepherd himself, not the state chief Hu Dongnian, no wonder the way of doing things was different, a little more fast and ruthless.

"No, they didn't die when they left Yizhuang, and they are probably dead now, so there is no need to look for them again." Killing people to silence them, I think they do it very skillfully.
After thinking about it, Wang Dali understood, "Oh, Miss is right."
"Dali, you did a good job this time."
"Thank you ma'am!"
I smiled and said, "Okay, you go out first, and invite Mr. Liu, the clerk, along the way."
Not long after, I received a letter from my father this morning from Mr. Liu.After he left, I opened it, and in the letter, besides some funny things, my father only said one thing—he was assassinated and he was fine.I slowly sat down behind the desk, laid the letter paper flat on the desk, smoothed out the creases little by little, and put the letter back into the drawer.

People from the State Shepherd's Mansion assassinated my father and me, and warned us that the wealth that we have no owner would go to the government. It can be seen that they guessed that I knew that the Xiao family's money would eventually flow to the State Shepherd's Mansion.However, they probably don't know that I have teamed up with Yushi, so they think that I want to use this to get more benefits from the State Shepherd's Mansion, and they are greedy.Her lack of defense is my opportunity.
"Yan Tian." I called out.
"Miss."
"The people we have placed in Xiao's residence, let them cheer up today, and must pay attention to Miss Xiao's words and deeds."
"Yes."
Xiao Gui is smarter than her elder brother Xiao Jin, and has always been favored at home, even she knows a thing or two about the copper mine this time.It's a pity that she was raised in the deep front, and she is more prone to clichés than Xiao Jin, and she can't calm down when things happen.I kept asking, and she would suspect that I already knew something more.If she went to discuss with her family about me and Tongsulph while feeling uneasy, then the person I sent to follow might be able to succeed.
They have always kept the location of the copper mine under wraps, and they couldn't even find out Kui Huangyi who was lurking beside Hu Dongnian, the governor of the state. I could only find a breakthrough in Xiao Gui.I'm not sure if I can succeed this time, because the strategy is too roundabout, and it won't work if I miscalculate even one link.If it doesn't work, I have no choice but to force her to speak out, but if it is not absolutely necessary, I still don't want to directly involve too much.
Now I can only pray that I am not mistaken about Xiao Gui's character, so that I don't have to take that bad strategy.
I lost the matter of Feixiang and Jietong being framed. If I take a step back from the bottom line of engagement that I have been guarding all along, then the next step will not be easy to back down. Once I step out of the bottom line, I will play with firecrackers.
That night, news came from the person who was placed in Xiao's residence.
My plan worked.
Xiao Gui asked her father and brother about the copper mine, which was overheard by my people.
I sent another message asking Kui Huangyi to leave the mansion immediately, and at the same time packed up my travel clothes.I had just packed up when Kui Huangyi pushed the door open and entered.
I smiled and said, "There is news." He turned around to close the door, and I raised my hand to stop him, "Is Mrs. Unknown Kui in the mood to go out for a walk?" Instead of talking, it's better to go directly to check the copper mine location.
He thought about it for a few seconds before nodding his head, so we went out in the dark without taking anyone with us.According to the news, the copper mine is not far from the north of Yuanyou City, the capital of the state.Thanks to our search for so long, Kui Huangyi and I even spent several nights studying the location of the mine veins in Heizhou, but we still couldn't figure out the location of the private mine. It turned out that it was just dark under the lights.This matter is of great importance, and we cannot hand it over to others; in order to avoid leaking information, we must act quickly, so I decided to leave immediately.
The gate of the city had already been closed, but seeing Kui Huangyi throwing a warrant to the soldiers guarding the city, they let it go after looking at it, and I also saved trouble, not having to ask the little soldier who was bribed by the Zhang family early in the morning to help.
About two hours later, Kui Huangyi and I stopped the horse at the foot of a barren mountain.
"Woo!" Kui Huangyi reined in the reins, got off the horse, and helped me to get off the horse.
Ignoring the discomfort under my body, I pointed to the mountain, "It's on the mountainside. I think it's better not to ride a horse up, so as not to make too much noise." It seems that I really want to learn how to ride a horse from Fei Xiang, and follow Kui Huangyi After running for two hours in a row, I really reached my limit.
In fact, I am really happy to be able to walk on the ground, ha.
"Hmm." Kui Huangyi tied the horse in a hidden place, and then we stepped on the snow with a cloak on, and marched towards the mountainside step by step.
The time has entered December, and when the last move falls, the dust will settle.
The author has something to say: I worked hard today, and I will add another chapter before ten o'clock in the evening
