Make a long-term worker as an old attack

As soon as he entered the guest room, Xue Zhaoqing hurriedly poured two glasses of water for himself. At the end of the day, he first pretended to be a ghost, then chased people, and interrogated him a lot. His thin body was almost exhausted.The steamed buns I ate at noon were long gone. Seeing this, Niu Geng hurriedly asked the second brother to bring the food and wine.

"Qing'er, I'm so tired this day, eat something and go to sleep." When he came back, the night had already faded, and Niu Geng looked at Xue Zhaoqing, who was pale, and sat aside, saying distressedly.

"Brother Niu Geng, I want to sleep but I can't sleep right now." Xue Zhaoqing held his forehead, and one side of his temple was throbbing non-stop.

"Master, the food is here." Xiaoer's voice sounded outside the door, Niu Geng took the food and wine and put them on the table, but Xue Zhaoqing didn't move his chopsticks, as if he didn't have much appetite.

"Eat a little anyway, how can you survive like this." Niu Geng picked up some egg custard with chopsticks and put it in the small bowl in front of Xue Zhaoqing. Xue Zhaoqing picked up the spoon and took a few mouthfuls.

"Brother Niu Geng, I'm worried about my father." After a busy day, Xue Zhaoqing became more and more afraid even though he had gained a lot of money. Auntie had already thought of using medicine to make him fall ill. The possibility of taking his life is very small.And Tian Degui, since he is such a money-loving master, who knows what kind of evil thoughts he can have when facing a patient who has no ability to resist.

"Qing'er, don't be in a hurry. We have Jiang Langzhong's letter and Tian Dekang's witness. It is only a matter of time before we expose them."

"But I've been feeling flustered these past few days. I always feel that something is going to happen to my father, Brother Niu Geng..." Xue Zhaoqing bit his lip: "Let's go find Uncle Fu."

"Looking for the butler?"

"Well, Uncle Fu is the only person in the family other than my father who knows where the land deeds, land deeds, and house deeds are kept, and if he wants to get the inheritance right of the family according to the text, then the uncle of my family's collateral line must go to the ancestral hall to witness and agree Only after you become a master, you can be considered as the real head of the family, otherwise, even if you have the right to manage the land and housekeeper, if the clansmen don't recognize it, you can't be considered as the real head of the family."

"So, you went to the housekeeper to discuss with him how to deal with the second lady and the others?"

"Well, now we have strong evidence in our hands. If we can get help from the people in the house at this time, it would be best to find the letter written by Tian Degui imitating my handwriting. In one fell swoop, I can drive this group of people out of my house!"

"Okay, Qing'er! If you want to go to Uncle Fu tonight, I'll go with you, but you eat these things first, otherwise I won't let you go."

After finishing speaking, Niu Geng tore another chicken leg and handed it to Xue Zhaoqing. Xue Zhaoqing raised his phoenix eyes slightly, and there was a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth. noob.After Cha Xiaoer collected the remnants, the two of them first blew out the candles in the house, pretending to have rested, and when the watchman had just knocked on the watch of Haishi, Niu Geng carried Xue Zhaoqing who had changed into black Turned out from the window on the second floor, leaving only Xiaobai and a dog guarding the room.

The two walked through the alley and came to the backyard of Xue's house. After entering the yard from the low wall, they walked straight to the front yard of Xue's house.Xue Fu only has a wing room in the house, which is not far from the bunk where the boy lives. Niu Geng lived in the backyard for a long time, and he didn't know much about the structure of the front yard. In front of the wing door.

Xue Fu has served two generations of masters in the Xue family, and his status is much higher than that of ordinary servants. Not to mention he has a separate wing, and he also has a separate servant to serve him when he rests at night.When Xue Zhaoqing came all the way, he was still worried about how to deal with the young man guarding Xue Fu's door, but after he actually walked over, he realized that there was not even a ghost in sight at the door of this small wing.

Although Xue Zhaoqing had doubts in his heart, he didn't care too much. He and Niu Geng stood at the door of the wing room. After the two exchanged glances, Xue Zhaoqing gently raised his hand and knocked on the door three times.

There was no one answering, and the room was pitch black.

Xue Zhaoqing knocked three more times.Immediately afterwards, he lay on the door and listened to the sound inside, but there was still silence in his ears, as if no one lived in this room.

"Qing'er, could it be that the housekeeper isn't in the house right now?" Niu Geng said softly.

"If my father is in good health, it is possible that he was late in the study to read the accounts, but now that he is ill, Uncle Fu is at this point, where else can he go?"

Xue Zhaoqing didn't understand why, but before he finished speaking, the wooden door of the wing room suddenly opened with a "squeak", and before the two could see the scene inside the door clearly, a bright silver cold light flashed and greeted Xue Zhaoqing Go!

Niu Geng thought it was not good, since he had been in the army for several months, he knew everything about all kinds of swords and sticks, and the cold light was clearly only produced by an extremely sharp long sword.In an instant, Niu Geng didn't even think about it, he directly took his own body and stood in front of Xue Zhaoqing.

The sharp sword energy was like a bloodthirsty demon, rushing straight towards Niu Geng's throat, Niu Geng couldn't help closing his eyes, and fiercely protected Xue Zhaoqing with both hands behind him.

The expected pain did not come with the sword energy. Niu Geng only felt a chill in his throat, but he had no intention of rushing forward. Immediately afterwards, a familiar voice came: " Are you... a burdock?!"

Niu Geng opened his eyes, and the person who swung the sword in front of him turned out to be the old and vigorous butler!

Xue Fu quickly put away his long sword, and rushed in front of Niu Geng with a big stride. Seeing that there was still a figure behind him, he couldn't care less for a while, and rushed into the house with the two of them.

After blocking the door of the wing room with the door bolt, Xue Fu breathed a sigh of relief. He only lit a small kerosene lamp and put it on the Eight Immortals table at the entrance of the wing room. The light was dim and barely illuminated the table. Surrounded by palm-sized places.

"You boy, why are you here at this time?" Xue Fu didn't pay attention to the person who came in with Niu Geng. Niu Geng asked.

"It's a long story, my lord."

"Is your mother okay?"

"...My mother, let's go..." Niu Geng said in a low voice.

"...Hey..." Xue Fu sighed: "It's only been less than a year, how come we've come to this field." These words were helpless, Niu Geng was used to Xue Fu's rigid look, and he had never seen him like this before. Looking carefully with the help of the weak light, I found that the butler, who was quite healthy and healthy half a year ago, was quite haggard, not to mention, his face was gray and gloomy, with no trace of rosiness.

"Boss, let me ask, why did you hold your sword to each other just now?"

"Don't mention it, it's not about you guys. The Xue family has not been peaceful these past few months. I thought someone was coming after me, but who knew it was you guys. Fortunately, you draw the sword quickly, otherwise you will accidentally injure me. Hey, you How about the friend behind him? I didn't hurt him." Xue Fu looked behind Niu Geng while talking.

Hearing this, Xue Zhaoqing took two steps forward, and his whole body came out of the shadows. He looked at Xue Fu's increasingly surprised face through the light, and he was deeply moved: "Uncle Fu, it's me."

"Young master!!!" Xue Fu stood up abruptly, rushed forward and grabbed Xue Zhaoqing's arm tightly, his strength was too great, he didn't look like a man in his 50s, his eyes widened, The side of his nose fluttered uncontrollably, and he looked at Xue Zhaoqing up and down many times, as if he couldn't believe that Xue Zhaoqing could appear here.

"You..., old slave... this old slave knows that you are not dead!" After a long time, Xue Fu hoarsely yelled out such a sentence. Seeing Xue Fu's excitement, Niu Geng and Xue Zhaoqing hurriedly comforted Xue Fu. Only slightly calmed down.But still held Xue Zhaoqing's hand for a long time and refused to let go.

"Uncle Fu, I knocked on the door just now, why did you suddenly come out with a sword?" Xue Zhaoqing asked.

"I'm also doing this to protect myself... Eldest young master, in the past few months, after the master fell ill, the second wife and the rascal surnamed Tian ran rampant at home, and these days have forced me to hand over the land deed many times And the house deed, I don’t pay much attention to them, and I serve the master’s medicine every day. It’s just that more than a month ago, when I woke up in the morning, I would see some things like dead rabbits, dogs, and mice thrown at the door of my wing. I know They see that the soft ones are not enough, so they want to come to the hard ones. I also practiced some moves when I was young, so I took a rest with my sword. I just heard the knock on the door, thinking that they were going to do something wrong, so I rushed out , fortunately...the young master was not hurt."

"I remember that you used to have a servant at the door of the front wing, why is there not even a doorkeeper now?"

"Ever since I saw these dead things at the door, I knew that the servants I served in the past had been bought by them, so I didn't want to serve anyone personally, so as to save my own life that day."

"Uncle Fu, how is my father's health recently?"

"Hey. I still can't speak, I can't stand up. After drinking so much soup and medicine, it hasn't improved at all."

"Uncle Fu, don't give this soup to my father in the future. Niu Geng and I have found out that this medicine is not a good cure for my father. It may be a prescription that they have tampered with."

"What?!" Xue Fu's face was shocked: "Second madam, do you want to kill the master?! This femme fatale woman, I thought she just wanted to protect the second young master from inheriting the family property, but I didn't expect that she would murder her husband! "

"Uncle Fu, don't get excited. Now that I'm back, I can't watch them harm my Xue family like this."

"Yes, once you come back, Eldest Young Master, no matter how old or young you are, it won't be your turn to be Second Young Master. It's just Eldest Young Master, where have you been these past few months? The old slave quietly sent someone to look for you , I haven't brought back any news from you."

"I've been living in an uneasy way these days..." Xue Zhaoqing said in a low voice, and slowly told Xue Fu about what happened during these days away.
