Make a long-term worker as an old attack

Since there was no forged letter in Xue Tian's room, it must be possible that the letter was with Tian Degui. Xue Zhaoqing lay on the bunk and couldn't sleep well, thinking about the next step in a daze.

He didn't have time to eat at night, plus there were more than a dozen servants living in this shop, the body odor was unbearable in the scorching summer, although he was tired at the moment, he couldn't sleep for a long time.

Suddenly, a wet thing climbed onto the soles of her feet stretched out of the bunk, Xue Zhaoqing woke up from a half-dream, and just about to scream, saw Xiaobai's naked green eyes in the darkness.

Xiaobai saw him sitting up, biting his trousers with his mouth open, as if he was going to take him somewhere.Xue Zhaoqing hurriedly got out of the bunk and put on his shoes, followed Xiaobai all the way to the cattle and stables in the backyard of Xue's house.

Behind the haystack in the cattle and stables, squatting an extremely simple and honest man, just like when he was a child, staring at him with a pair of big round eyes, the eyes are full of doting and tenderness.

"Why did you come here? Didn't the housekeeper say that you are not allowed to appear in the courtyard?" Xue Zhaoqing said so, but his body quickly moved over like he couldn't control it, and pulled Niu Geng's wide sleeve with one hand , the words are full of coquettish meaning.

"Are you worried about you, maybe you can sleep in the same bunk with others?" Niu Geng hugged Xue Zhaoqing, and tapped lightly on his forehead.

"It's okay." Afraid that Niu Geng would be worried outside, Xue Zhaoqing didn't say much.It's just that at this moment, the disappointing stomach growled many times in such a quiet and harmonious environment.

Xue Zhaoqing blushed immediately, pulled Niu Geng's sleeves, and lowered his head, not daring to look at him.

"Hungry? I knew you couldn't eat well here, so I brought you some food. It's still hot. Eat quickly." After finishing speaking, Niu Geng took a food box from behind, and the two of them ignored the food in the stable. Dirty or not, sitting on the floor, Niu Geng opened the food box, took the steaming plate, used the lid of the food box as a cushion, and placed it in front of Xue Zhaoqing.

"It's delicious, it's delicious." Xue Zhaoqing, who had been hungry for a long time, didn't care about the image of a gentle scholar, sat on the ground and ate happily, while Niu Geng looked at Chong Ni, feeding him with chopsticks from time to time.

"I went to my aunt's room today." After drinking and eating, Xue Zhaoqing leaned on Niu Geng to rest.

"What did you find?"

"I saw a lot of letters, but I didn't find the forged one by Tian Degui. These letters were all written by my father to my family, and I sent them back. I counted them, and the letters my father wrote to me were actually bigger than mine. More than double the number sent back.”

"Master still misses you."

"But I'm not a worry-free person. I made Dad feel so much angry for no reason."

"Qing'er..." Niu Geng seemed to have something to say, but when he reached the point of his mouth, he changed his style: "Hey, forget it, let's talk about the affairs of the house first. "

"Brother Niu Geng, are you worried about what will happen to me in the future if I inherit the family business...?" Xue Zhaoqing said while carelessly pulling Niu Geng's calloused hand.

Burg Geng's throat choked up, and he tightened Xue Zhaoqing's hand.Since his helper went to Xue's mansion, Niu Geng spent the whole day in the inn by himself, thinking wildly.Once Qing'er regains the Xue family's position of power, it is inevitable to leave the family for the Xue family. This is doomed, he will marry a wife and have children, and he, Niu Geng, will always be hidden in the shadows that person.But at this moment, it is so crucial to Xue Zhaoqing, how could he delay Xue Zhaoqing's pace at this moment.

"No, Qing'er, don't think about it."

"..." Hearing this, Xue Zhaoqing didn't answer immediately. After a long time, he slowly spit out a sentence: "Although my father is from the same line of the Xue family, there are countless branches of my Xue family. There must be an heir, and it is not impossible to choose an intelligent and kind child from the branch to take over."

When Niu Geng heard the words, a warm current passed through his heart, and he whispered: "Let's save these things for later. Now, let's think about how to get rid of the obstacles in front of us."

"The letter must be in Tian Degui's hands. It should be in the northwest wing where he temporarily lives. However, there are servants around his wing all day long, so it's really hard for me to go in."

"Can the butler find a way to get the boy away?"

"It may not be realistic. Uncle Fu is in danger now. Tian Degui has already prevented him from handling important things in the courtyard. Those two young men heard that he brought them back from Xi'an Mansion, so they may not be able to listen to what Uncle Fu said. "

After finishing speaking, Xue Zhaoqing let out a long sigh.

"Don't worry, Qing'er, there must be a way for the car to reach the mountain, and there will definitely be a chance for you to go in." Niu Geng comforted.

The two lingered together in the cattle stable for a while, and when Niu Geng saw that the night was cold, he reluctantly let Xue Zhaoqing go back.

During the past few days, while cleaning the courtyard, Xue Zhaoqing quietly observed the two servants guarding Tian Degui's house. These two should be the fellows who worked with Tian Degui when he was in Xi'an Mansion. Thievous eyebrows and mouse eyes, flowing in the air.It's not a good thing at first glance.Once Tian Degui was not in the wing, he would keep these two people guarding the door. There must be something extraordinary hidden in the room, so Xue Zhaoqing was even more certain that the letter was in the wing.

But just being sure, it is useless not to enter the door. He once tried to go in as if he was going to clean the inner room for the master, but he was pushed back before he stepped on the door of the wing. .

In the afternoon of this day, the sun was scorching hot, and the other servants were almost lazily hiding from the heat at this point. They did not know where they were lying around, but Xue Zhaoqing was the only one who just finished eating the big pot of rice, so he picked up another basin of clean water and sprinkled it in the yard. with.

Tian Degui went to another rich man's house in Sanyuan County to have a dinner today. Although he has not been in Sanyuan County for a long time, he is a top-notch rich man. The person who came to post is the famous rich man who has been extorting tenants from Sanyuan County. Xue Gan is in charge. He had never been in touch with him from time to time, so he unexpectedly became friends with Tian Degui.

The two guards at the gate are called Zhou Cheng and Zheng Shen.The two squatted at the door of Tian Degui's wing, complaining while taking advantage of the shade.

"It's still guarding here at noon, the heat is almost to death, what is so precious hidden in the roof of Mr. Tian's house?" Zhou Cheng is older, and his ability to steal, rape and play tricks is also stronger. .

"Who knows, let's just keep it. If something happens to the work that the master has assigned, it will be difficult to handle." Zheng Shen replied

"I'm so sleepy, I want to squint for a while, can you watch for a while?"

"Hey, why are you like this? I'm too sleepy, so you ran away by yourself?!"

"There is still a worker here." Zhou Cheng pouted in the direction where Xue Zhaoqing was.

"Okay, you go, I'll watch, you go and come back!"

Zhou Cheng left to rest on his own, leaving Zheng Shen alone, looking bored at the sky with a dog's tail grass in his mouth.Although there was another Xue Zhaoqing in the courtyard, the boy who worked there was so ugly that Zheng Shen didn't want to talk to him much.

"Wow, woof, woof!" Suddenly there was an unusually ferocious dog barking from the southwest side of the wing room, followed by the sound of something falling.

Zheng Shen, whose mind was not clear for a while, suddenly woke up, and just wanted to run to have a look, when he suddenly thought that he was the only one here, if he left rashly, there might be more troubles.

"You, go and see, what's going on?" He shouted loudly.

Hearing this, Xue Zhaoqing quickly dropped the work things in his hands, ran out of the courtyard, and came back after a while.

"I heard that someone climbed over the wall and entered the second lady's yard, was found by a dog, and was running away, but the dog was tied up in the yard, unable to chase forward, some people even said that the person who climbed over the wall , is the thief who stole the second lady's personal clothes a few days ago! The second lady said, if anyone can catch him, he will be paid half a year's monthly money."

When Zheng Shen heard this, his heart moved, and he was about to step out of the room, but hesitated again.

Xue Zhaoqing went on to say: "Just now I seem to have seen the figure of Brother Zhou Cheng, running over there!"

"What?! What the hell, you're going to sleep on an excuse, and you actually snatch this rewarding job, leaving me here alone to bask in the sun and work hard. You, help me watch the door of the wing room. If anyone comes in casually, See if I don't beat you to death!" Then Zheng Shen strode out and disappeared after a while.

Seeing that there was no one around, Xue Zhaoqing raised the corners of his mouth. He didn't need to guess who was coming from the second lady's side. It must be that Niu Geng took the risk to lure people from the courtyard over. The second lady's underwear was stolen. He was extremely ashamed and annoyed, and if a thief came again, he would definitely reward the boy who caught the thief in a fit of anger.This is the closest courtyard to the second lady's courtyard, so how can the two who are open to money be able to hold on to it?

Xue Zhaoqing didn't waste any more time, he quickly walked into Tian Degui's wing room, and rummaged through the room without any delay.

Tian Degui had only been in Xue's house for a few months, but he collected almost all the treasures and antiques in the house. Xue Zhaoqing was so angry that his teeth itch, but he didn't dare to worry, for fear that something had been moved to cause suspicion.

Finally, among an ancient book on the bookshelf, he saw a brown envelope with a pointed corner.

Standing on tiptoe, picked up the ancient book, took out the letter and read it. Sure enough, there were several large characters written on the letter: My brother Zhou Jihou personally wrote it.This font is indeed [-]% similar to his font, but it is not difficult to see the difference as long as you compare it carefully.

Xue Zhaoqing didn't dare to delay for a moment, fearing that the two would give birth to many clues when they came back, he hurriedly took out another thing from his bosom, stuffed it into the ancient book, folded the letter he found and hid it tightly in his bosom, and got out of this place impatiently. The door of the wing.

This room had just closed the door from the outside, when suddenly Zhou Cheng shouted from behind: "Why are you standing there?!"

Xue Zhaoqing's heart trembled, he turned around quickly, lowered his head and said, "Uncle Zheng asked me to guard this door, I dare not delay, so I stood next to this door, lest someone go in."

"Hmph, you have a heart."

"Master Zhou, have you caught the thief?"

"I chased him all the way to the backyard. Who knew that he would disappear after turning a corner. That corner is a dead end. Can this person grow wings and fly?!"

"The second lady is there."

"It's a murderer who is throwing something. This woman is really troublesome. Oh, by the way, don't say that I went to chase after seeing someone, so she won't come to the door to scold me again!"

"Yes... that little one, take your leave first."

"Let's go, let's go." Zhou Cheng didn't doubt him, and let Xue Zhaoqing go.

Xue Zhaoqing hunched over and walked out in a hurry, until he reached a dead end in the backyard before he breathed a sigh of relief. He called softly, "Brother Niu Geng? Brother Niu Geng?"

But no one answered, Xue Zhaoqing was just surprised, suddenly a pair of hands seemed to grow out of the ground, and grabbed his ankle....
