[Republic of China] The paradise of rebirth

When I got up the next day, I heard Er Ye talk about what happened last night. I was surprised not only Zai Tao was killed, but also the owner of the brothel was also killed.

"It's not my people who succeeded." The second master slowly told the truth, what? !I quickly asked, "Second Master, what's going on?"

"Before my men could do anything, someone took the first step and killed Zai Tao and the brothel owner." The second master explained, and I was extremely puzzled, "Who killed Zai Tao and the brothel owner?"

"I only know that it was the flower lady in the brothel owner's building who did the fighting, but I don't know if there is a mastermind behind the scenes." The second master said with a frown. Killed.

Originally, according to Erye's plan, he wanted to plant the matter on the brothel owner. This would not only get rid of Zai Tao, but also put the brothel owner in jail.

This can be regarded as a favor to Mr. William. The second master is eager to enter the foreign market recently. Mr. William is extremely influential among foreign merchants. If he can get the support of Mr. William, it will be great for the second master. .

But now that the owner of the brothel is dead, it was not the second master who did it. The second master would not take credit for something he hadn't done, so he lost the opportunity to show his sincerity to Mr. William.

"What I'm more concerned about now is who did the murder?" Although the second master felt that it was a pity that he couldn't get Mr. William's help, he didn't care too much.

After all, the second master has a wide network of contacts, and it is only a matter of time before he enters the foreign market. The reason why the second master wants to get Mr. William's help is that he wants to succeed sooner.

Now without the support of Mr. William, although it will take a little longer, it is not impossible to succeed, so he is more concerned about the death of Zai Tao and the brothel owner.

"When I used the bronze mirror to observe Zai Tao before, I didn't find anything unusual." I recalled that I used the bronze mirror to observe Zai Tao every day in the past few days, and grasped his work and rest time and places he frequented. Find anything amiss.

"In this way, Xu is targeting the owner of the brothel, and Zai Tao is implicated." The second master pondered. After thinking about it, this possibility is relatively high. Grandpa should also find out.

No matter what the process is, at least the result is the same, so the second master and I will not mention this matter anymore.To be honest, it wasn't caused by Second Master's subordinates, but it was better for me, because the second master would definitely not be found in the investigation.

After Zai Tao was killed, the city of Beijing was in an uproar. After all, Zai Tao's identity was different from ordinary people, so the court immediately sent people to investigate to see who was so courageous and dared to harm the county king Baylor.

Zai Feng had been on good terms with Zai Tao, not to mention that Zai Tao would go to Shanghai according to his secret decree, but now he lost his life in Shanghai, so he issued a death order to the investigating officials. If the murderer cannot be found, then The official family buried his seventh brother with him!

This incident caused a lot of uproar in the city, and Zaifeng took this opportunity to remove many thorns in his eyes secretly. The second master's face has been serious recently, and I know he is worried about Yuan Shikai's resignation.

Originally, according to the second master's plan, the murderer was the owner of the brothel, and no one else would be involved, but now something happened, the whereabouts of the murderer who killed Zai Tao was unknown, and Zaifeng just gave Zai Feng an excuse. caught up.

Therefore, the second master has been very low-key recently. Not only did he not go out anymore, he also handed over the business of the shop to Yuan Qi, and even talked about business with Yuan Qi and Xiao Dongzi.

Now is an extraordinary period, the second master doesn't want Zaifeng to make use of it, and he doesn't want Zaifeng to find out how much power he has in Shanghai.Fortunately, the second master seldom publicized on weekdays, so although Zaifeng knew that the second master was in Shanghai, he didn't know how much business he actually had.

Or maybe it was due to the hard work of those adults before, the second master received a letter from his family within a few days, and Yuan Shikai successfully resigned. It seems that Zaifeng's wariness towards the Yuan family has dissipated a lot, and he did not make things difficult for Yuan Shikai, so he immediately approved Yuan Shikai's request Resignation memorial.

Afterwards, Yuan's family moved to Hui County, Henan Province. After the second master heard the news, he was greatly relieved. He was finally out of Zaifeng's nose, and he didn't have to worry about Zaifeng's attack on Yuan's house anymore.

However, the murderer who killed Zai Tao has not yet been found. Due to Zai Tao's special identity and the fact that the two victims were both Chinese, the Ministry of Industry and Police in Shanghai did not intervene in this case, but were sent by the Qing court. Officials took over.

After the officials tried hard to trace it, it seems that it was caused by the emotional entanglement between the owner of the brothel and the woman in the brothel. Zai Tao was just unlucky to be there, so he lost his life together.

When Yuan Qi reported this to the second master, the second master did not speak, but frowned in thought, and asked after a long time, "Will the case be handed over to the trial court?"

"The answer to the second master seems to be because the seventh master is involved, so the prisoner has to be taken back to Beijing and handed over to the Dali Court for trial." Yuan Qi replied respectfully.

"Well, what do you think, that Hua Niang is really the murderer?" The second master tapped his finger on the table and asked Yuan Qi. Yuan Qi was silent for a few seconds before replying in a low voice, "If you talk to the second master, there may be someone else behind it." .”

"Well, let's go down." The second master nodded slightly, and Yuan Qi stepped back respectfully.After Yuan Qi left, I asked, "Second Master, is Hua Niang innocent?"

"Not entirely, after all, she did it, but the motive is wrong." The second master said lightly, took a sip of tea, and then said: "This incident seems to be related to the Revolutionary Party."

"So in fact Zai Tao is the real target, and the brothel owner is the one who is implicated?" I asked, and the second master nodded, "Well, I didn't expect the Revolutionary Party to also target Zai Tao."

"But it's okay, it's good to set back Zaifeng's spirit, let him know that not everyone obeys him." The second master said in a cold voice, I know he doesn't want to see Zaifeng very much, because Zaifeng has entrusted Yuan to him for two generations. The government sees it as a thorn in the side.

It didn't take long for the turmoil caused by Zaitao's case to subside. The prisoner was escorted to Beijing, the officials sent by the Qing court also left Shanghai, and the second master resumed his usual routine and started to go out to discuss business.

Not long after, news came that the prisoner had unfortunately contracted an illness and died while being escorted.When the second master and I learned about it, we thought in unison, were we rescued or silenced?

In any case, this matter has come to an end, and the second master will not continue to investigate. No matter what the revolutionary party plans to do, as long as it does not affect me and the second master, we will just wait and see what happens and will not intervene.

For a while now, because my stomach has gradually bulged, I stopped going out, and the owner of the garden has moved to my yard. Whenever the owner sees my belly, he will still be amazed.

Not only the owner of the garden was amazed, but the fifth master also looked like a ghost.I rolled my eyes secretly, the garden owner's belly will bulge soon, will they make such a fuss then?

Because I closed the shop, I had nothing to do all day long, and I was really bored. Fortunately, the owner of the garden talked with me, otherwise I would have been bored and crazy.

The owner of the garden has been sick for longer than me, and he often can't eat, and he lost a lot of weight in a short time, which made Wu Ye very distressed, and made Xiaoqiu think of a way to make the owner eat.

Later, I accidentally gave the owner a piece of Taoyuan fruit, and the owner ate it with great relish. After that, the symptoms of sickness improved a lot, and his appetite returned.

I was amazed in my heart, it seems that the Taoyuan fruit is also amazing, and then I took out the ingredients in the Taoyuan one after another, and asked Xiao Anzi to cook it for me and the owner of the garden.

After taking it, we found that our physical strength has improved a lot. Not only the nausea symptoms have been relieved, but also our complexion has become rosy, our whole body is radiant, and our spirit has also improved.

So I took out more ingredients, even the medicinal materials of anti-abortion medicine, all used in Taoyuan.I told the second master about passing the test a while ago, which scared the second master very much.

He followed me closely for several days, and kept muttering that I was hiding from him. In fact, I didn't mean not to tell him, but I forgot that when I passed the test, the second master was still in Tianjin. One thing, I really forgot.

If the second master hadn't entered Taoyuan and found that the building was different, I probably wouldn't be able to remember it. After hearing this, the second master was angry and helpless, and I didn't think about it either, but after getting pregnant, my memory seems to have deteriorated.

I was very worried and nervous at first, because I found that I couldn’t remember things all the time, and even what I said was easy to forget. When I was so troubled that I mentioned it to Xiao Anzi, Xiao Anzi said it was normal.

After pregnancy, some people's memory will become worse, so I don't need to worry too much, he said that after giving birth, he will no longer forget things.

The owner of the garden did not make fun of me, because I found that the owner of the garden became like me, often forgetting what to say, or forgetting what he was doing.

Not long after, when the owner's belly was also swollen, a troublesome person came to the house. I don't know why Yuan Shikai thought of seeing the second master, and he came whenever he came, why did he bring Miss Liu with him?

When Yuan's family moved to Henan a while ago, Liu's family didn't say anything, and they didn't mention the marriage any more. Didn't they give up?Still want to marry your daughter to the second master?

To make matters worse, Yuan Shikai did not bring any concubine with him, but brought the young lady with him. When Yuan Shikai arrived with a group of people, my second master and I were warming up in the room.

In the first three months of pregnancy, in order to protect the fetus, it is not suitable to have intercourse, and because I am a man, it was not until four months later that Xiao Anzi let go and told us that we can have proper intimacy.

But the action should not be too violent, he also told the second master a lot, I was ashamed to hear it, but the second master listened very seriously, afraid that if a mistake made something wrong with me or the child.

However, the second master was still a little worried, so he didn't dare to ask for too much at first, and it was often only once every few days. It was not until now that I was more than five months pregnant that the second master increased the frequency.

Because I was holding back hard before, in the past few days, as long as the second master has time, no matter it is during the day, he will drag me into the room. on my stomach.

So when Yuan Qi came to knock on the door, the second master was naked and hugging me. I was startled by the knock, and hurriedly pushed the second master away, fearing that Yuan Qi would find out that we were doing something shy.

"Didn't I tell you not to bother me?" The second master was in high spirits, and was very upset when he was disturbed. But Yuan Qi's next words made us feel nothing. He said respectfully, "Second master, Master is waiting for you in the hall."

master? !Yuan Shikai?I was in a hurry to get dressed, and the second master quickly put on his clothes, "Tsing Yi, don't worry, I'll go and have a look, you stay in the room and don't come out."

The second master quickly got dressed, then pushed me down on the bed, helped me cover the quilt, and then turned and walked out of the room. I huddled under the quilt, constantly guessing in my heart, what exactly is Yuan Shikai doing here?

After the second master left, I lay down for a while, but I couldn't fall asleep, so I got up, put on my clothes, and opened the door to find that the second master had actually left Yuan Qi behind.

"My lord, it's windy today, please add more clothes." Seeing that my clothes are thin, Yuan Qi said disapprovingly, and then involuntarily looked at my protruding abdomen.

Except for Xiao Anzi and Xiaoqiu, the second master did not hide from Yuan Qi that I was pregnant. First of all, Yuan Qi is his confidant and was trained by him, so he knows Yuan Qi very well, and he is not afraid that he will make it public .

Secondly, it was also because Yuan Qi often came to the courtyard to report matters, and the second master didn't want me to avoid it every time, so he simply told Yuan Qi and Xiao Dongzi about the matter.

Yuan Qi and Xiao Dongzi were shocked at first, but when they found out that the belly of the garden owner and I was really swollen, they had to believe it even if they didn't believe it. They still couldn't figure out how to conceive a child because both the garden owner and I were men. Woolen cloth?

But fortunately, the doubts turned into doubts, the attitude of the two of them didn't change, but every time they saw me, the two of them would involuntarily pay attention to my stomach.

"Why did Lord Yuan come here?" I asked, Yuan Qi immediately looked away, lowered his head and replied, "Master, I'm afraid the master is here for the second master's marriage this time."

"Marriage? How do you say that?" I asked suspiciously, and later learned from Yuan Qi that Yuan Shikai had brought Ms. Liu. I didn't expect that Ms. Liu had not given up on the second master, and actually chased her to Shanghai.

"Don't worry, my lord, the second master will find a solution. He asked me to tell you, just wait patiently. He will return to the room soon." Yuan Qi said, I thought for a while after hearing this, then turned around and went back to the room obediently.

The second master knew my personality, so he asked Yuan Qi to wait here, without any concealment, and told me Yuan Shikai's intentions for coming, and even made it clear that Miss Liu came together.

He knows that I don't like being kept in the dark, even if it's in the name of doing my best, I don't like the feeling of being cheated. We promised each other that we will tell the truth about everything.

Although I will inevitably feel uneasy when I hear such news, it is better than hearing it from other people, which is more likely to cause misunderstandings. In the past four years, my second master and I have gotten along very well, and we have hardly had any quarrels, and it is also because we have confessed to each other.

I believe that the second master will not disappoint me, so I sat in the room, waiting for the second master to come back and explain everything, but in my heart I had some complaints about Yuan Shikai and Miss Liu, even if I want to come, I have to inform first, right?

Maybe they were afraid that the second master would hide from Miss Liu, so they simply came to the door first to talk. I sat at the table with my chin in my hands, thinking wildly while stroking my stomach.

Today, I finally got a feeling. I wanted to have a good time with the second master, but my interest was disturbed. What if Yuan Shikai and his party want to stay here?

When I thought of this possibility, I immediately had a headache, don't be caught by my crow's mouth!What if they live here and find this courtyard?
