A Thousand Gold Order: Inheritance

Chapter 152 The Young Master Owes My Life Now!

In the gate of the mansion, the most confidant people around the masters usually have no lower status in the mansion than the housekeeper.

after all--

As the master's close confidant, if you provoke him and he will give you eye drops from time to time, you, the butler, will not be able to do this for long.

Now that Qi Huan has blatantly kidnapped Qi Zhengyu's personal entourage, it is really a bit unthinkable and daring.

Gu Zhan didn't expect her to do this, and his brows frowned even tighter.

Jian Xinghai took off the man's gag cloth.

That relative recognized Qi Huan at a glance, and couldn't help calling out: "Miss?"

In addition, he followed Qi Zhengyu to the yamen every day, knew Qin Song, and met Gu Zhan.

The next moment——

Seeing these two standing on the left and the right next to my lady, my heart was completely chilled, and I didn't even dare to speak rashly.

The procedure for Qi Huan to instigate someone to take him is actually very simple. Taking advantage of Xing Luo's status, he first found a few sets of clothes for Jian Xinghai and the others to change, and then pretended to be a member of the mansion, and she took them into the mansion with ease. Go, watch this relative take orders...

He rushed up, simply and rudely pressed people to the ground one by one, packed them in sacks and carried them out.

Qi Zhengyu was regarded as the overlord of the Qi family, not because his followers were so difficult to catch, no one did this before, but because he was afraid of being settled by him.

If you are not forced to the point of death and life, who will pull out his teeth in his tiger's mouth?
Besides—

Even if someone is kidnapped, extorting a confession is still a huge problem, and it's easy to waste your time.

There is something going on at home these few days, so Qi Zhengyu's trust and reliance on this follower is naturally not stupid.

Although Jian Xinghai and the others moved swiftly at that time, and even Xing Luo didn't show his face, the bumpy ride on the carriage was enough for him to understand.

His master, Old Hou Ye, continued to attack Dafang's family relentlessly...

However, he originally thought that it was Yang Shi who would take the risk and kidnap her.

Seeing that it was Qi Huan, he was just slightly surprised.

But the driving force behind Qi Huan is not the Yang family, but two outsiders with high identities...

This really shocked and terrified him.

His eyes dodged, and the next moment he closed his mouth and remained silent.

Qi Huan stood in front of him, raised his eyebrows and smiled: "I think you know why I tied you here."

Qi Zhengyu, Guan Yusheng, a follower, started doing odd jobs by his side when he was twelve years old, but it was only seven or eight years since he was brought up to be his confidant, and he is only in his twenties this year.

Qi Zhengyu's entourage had changed three times before, and he was the fourth.

The old man is deep in the city, and he is still very good at picking people. The first few were not dismissed because of mistakes, but because the people around them often needed to run errands. As they got older, they became less flexible in their activities.

However, he himself is like an old bastard, he may have survived, and his follow-up usually takes a few years to observe his character and ability, and when he is in his twenties, he is put forward to entrust him with important tasks. It will take ten or eight years, because of old age or injuries, etc. For various reasons, he could not continue to be entrusted with important tasks, so he retreated to the second line.

Guan Yusheng was a relatively early employee and became a full-time employee. He is young and mature.

He knew that at this juncture, it would be very difficult for him to get away with such a thing caused by his eldest lady, so he didn't dare to speak hard against Joe at this moment, and forced a smile and said: "The little one is just an errand runner, The old Hou Ye is the head of the family, no matter how wronged the eldest lady has been recently... Even if you kill the younger one, it will not help the matter."

Such a slave knows a lot of things, and usually has handles and weaknesses in the hands of the master, so he would rather risk his life than betray.

It was not easy to pry his mouth open.

Gu Zhan knew it well, so he took a step forward and persuaded Qi Huan, "Since this matter is handled by Qin Xiaohou, let him handle it himself. You go out and wait."

The job of extorting a confession by torture is dirty and tiring, and it is not good to see her as a pampered girl.

Qin Song didn't refute this time, but sneered, which was his acquiescence.

"Miss..." Guan Yusheng exclaimed, "The young one is from the Marquis of Changning. If you get upset, you can beat or scold the young one until you calm down, but you... But there is absolutely no reason to hand over the little one to outsiders for lynching!"

Qin Song is tired today, and he has something on his mind, so he is extremely impatient.

He lowered his head and played with the mechanism of the sleeve arrow on his wrist, and said coldly: "You know what your master did to Ben Hou today, but I brought you in front of him and stabbed you in front of him." , does he dare to stand up and speak for you?"

Guan Yusheng choked hard on him, and his face turned white instantly.

He opened his mouth, but couldn't speak after that, he just flustered, and looked at Qi Huan again.

Seeing Qi Huan not leaving, Qin Song impatiently gave her a questioning look.

"Torture to extract a confession is slow and unreliable." Qi Huan shrugged, walked to the bottom of the wall, and kicked another sack thrown there.

She turned her head and asked Jian Xinghai: "Is this what your people sent for me?"

When they brought Guan Yusheng over, the sack was already there, thrown together with a pile of sundries, so no one cared.

But when Jian Xinghai arrived, he saw the other two guards who had come one step ahead of them and were carefully detained by the Yang family in the gate room, and had negotiated information with them.

"Exactly." He nodded.

There was no need for Qi Huan to order any more, he went straight over, pulled the sack and untied it, and dragged another person out from inside.

The man looked at his forty years of age, his body was neither tall nor short, neither fat nor thin, and he was oblivious to everyone's appearance.

But if you look closely at the facial features, you can see some similarities with Guan Yusheng.

It's just that others are motionless, their eyes are closed tightly, and they don't know whether they are alive or alive.

Seeing the man's appearance clearly, Guan Yusheng wanted to lunge towards him, but he was held down firmly.

He turned his head to look at Qi Huan in a panic, and his voice was broken and shrill: "Miss, even though I am a servant of the house, my family is not. They are all good citizens, well-behaved ordinary people, even if You are a noble lady of the Hou family, and you are breaking the law if you touch them."

In order to force a confession, he threatened the innocent family member...

This method is indeed somewhat insidious.

Although there is a reason for the incident, it is up to Qi Huan to do it.
Although Qin Song and Gu Zhan are not good at each other, it's okay for them to handle such a thing by themselves. Seeing Qi Huan like this now, both of them felt strangely uncomfortable for no reason.

only--

Qi Zhengyu was too terrific in her actions, she had suffered too much grievance before, even if she used extreme methods at this time, it was understandable.

Therefore, the two of them acquiesced in unanimous agreement, and they both remained silent.

Faced with such accusations, Qi Huan neither refuted nor explained.

She bent down and said slowly, "Who said I was going to be lynched? I asked someone to bring him here, just to see his hands."

That person is Guan Yusheng's direct brother Guan Yuping, who is exactly forty years old this year.

The two of his brothers escaped to Beijing [-] years ago. As Guan Yusheng said, except for him who sold himself to the Marquis of Changning, his brother and sister-in-law are all good families. Fei's monthly case bought a few acres of land in the outskirts of the city. She has a son and a daughter, and they are living a good life.

This man was beaten and tied directly from the field by Qin Song's men, and his hands were covered with dirty soil.

Qi Huan didn't dislike him either, and took his right hand by himself.

His sleeves were already rolled up, and there was a hideous old scar of more than an inch on his wrist.

Everyone, including Guan Yusheng, was at a loss.

Only Qi Huan was completely satisfied when he saw the scar.

There was a smile on the corner of her lips, and she turned to look at Guan Yusheng again: "I ran errands for you in Qingshui County at the beginning of February, and he was the one who bribed Hong Dayong and his wife to put Zheng's mother next to me in jail, right?"

Qi Huan's illness was treated by Chi Yunchuan at the time, and Gu Zhan knew exactly the reason for her illness.

Hearing this, her heart suddenly missed a beat, and when she looked at the unconscious man again, her eyes had become icy cold.

Qin Song didn't know why.

The blood on Guan Yusheng's face also faded away in an instant, his eyes flickered, and he denied it: "The young one doesn't know what the young lady is talking about."

Qi Huan didn't feel annoyed, so he just patted off the dust on his skirt and stood up.

She still had a gentle smile like a spring breeze on her face, and said slowly and calmly in her tone: "Grandfather first took advantage of the opportunity before I went out to change the incense that I was going to take out, and then by luck, I survived till the end of the day." I fell ill on Zhuangzi. At this time, he still needs a person to go to Qingshui County to stumble Mama Zheng and delay her getting me a doctor. This person must be trusted by you and will never reveal your secrets But I can't use the face of the family, because once I die of illness, my mother will definitely investigate the whole story. If she is asked to follow the clues and find out this clue, she will take Hong Dayong and his wife back to the house to identify people one by one. , that would be bad. In order to complete this mission for grandfather, you asked your family members in Beijing to come forward, which is reliable and not afraid of being investigated."

Ever since she found out that the person who wanted to harm her was actually Qi Zhengyu, Qi Huan kept his expression on the face, but secretly began to pay attention to the people around Qi Zhengyu.

And since she wanted to investigate, Guan Yusheng was the first to bear the brunt.

When he was five years old, there was a flood in his hometown, and his parents and elders failed to survive. He fled to Beijing with his only surviving brother.

He was young at the time, and later entered the Hou's Mansion as an errand, and he was smart and smart, and his accent subtly changed into a standard Beijing accent.

But his elder brother had already grown up at that time, and he was also relatively clumsy, so he still had an obvious foreign accent after all these years in Beijing.

It was this clue that Qi Huan pinched first.

Because of the good relationship between the housekeeper brothers, Guan Yuping would occasionally go to the Hou Mansion to deliver clothes or food to Guan Yusheng, and Xingluo would be able to draw out such obvious characteristic information by casually chatting with the concierge's wife and servant.

It's just that Qi Huan knew that it was impossible to bring down her grandfather just relying on the housekeeper brothers, and she didn't have time to deal with this matter, so she didn't startle the door directly to investigate.

Originally, she asked Qin Song to ask someone to tie up Guan Yuping today, and she was thinking of trying her luck.

It would be best if it was him.

If she made a mistake in her judgment——

If it's so great, let Qin Xiaohou be troubled, and torture him to extract a confession.

Qi Huan paced back and forth in front of Guan Yusheng.

Qin Song was outside the palace gate before, and he had just smoothed over the matter between Qi Huan and Gu Zhan. He knew that Qi Huan happened to be recuperating in Zhuangzi at that time, but he really didn't know that it was also a dangerous situation, almost dying. Killed.

Looking at the front of her at this time, she could almost be said to be a domineering young girl...

Suddenly he was in a trance.

The rain outside the door started to fall in a panic at this time.

And, it's out of control.

The rain was astonishing, and the crackling raindrops washed over the window paper that had just been replaced, making people feel extremely flustered.

Guan Yu gritted his teeth, naturally he refused to admit it easily.

Qi Huan looked at him condescendingly.

The arc of her lips remained the same, but the heat in her eyes had dissipated: "You don't need to admit this matter, as long as I go to the Hong family and come here, your elder brother can't escape the felony murder." Yes. You have been with grandfather for these years, and you understand that I am not trying to scare you. As a commoner, he wants to kill me... Use his life to pay for the life of me, the eldest daughter of the favored marquis mansion, That is absolutely not enough.”

This is the case with the laws of the imperial court. To sue an official by the people, you have to roll a nail board first and get a board.

Human life is divided into high and low!

Guan Yusheng knew that she wasn't trying to scare her, so she bit her lip hard, and when she was struggling in her heart, blood dripped on the skirt of her clothes.

Qi Huan knew that his psychological defense was already crumbling.

She went on to say: "I will not touch you with a single finger today. If you are determined to be a loyal servant of your grandfather, you can go back intact in a while, count the heads and buy a coffin, waiting to collect the corpses for your family. I This person is not big-minded, you know that, even sitting on your elder brother's family to take my life... I think it's enough, my mother may not even be satisfied."

When a person is born in this world, there will always be one or two things that can hold him back.

Guan Yusheng was a slave in the Qi family, working hard for Qi Zhengyu, just to bring his brother's family who depended on each other to live a good life.

Maybe he and Qi Zhengyu also have a relationship between master and servant, but this relationship——

Presumably it was not worth his own family's life in exchange.

Guan Yusheng's face was pale, and his forehead was covered with cold sweat.

In the end, he slowly raised his eyes inch by inch, and asked Qi Huan in a weak and anxious voice: "What does Missy want to know? If I tell you, you swear you won't pursue my brother's family?"

Qi Huan glanced sideways at the unconscious person in the corner.

But she didn't swear to the sky: "I just need to listen to the truth from your mouth. He doesn't know anything now. If you answer my question, how did he come here? I will tell him how to go back later. He will never know what happened today." what happened here."

When Qi Huan said this, Guan Yusheng instinctively wanted to believe her from the bottom of his heart.

Because if Qi Huan really wanted revenge for personal gain, since she had already suspected that she had gone to his house, she could have done it long ago, and she didn't have to wait until today.

More importantly——

He has no choice now but to gamble.

If you believe in Qi Huan, you can still bet that she keeps her word, with half the winning rate.

If it's for Qi Zhengyu...

What Qi Huan said was right, her life was almost in the hands of their brothers, if she provoked her again today, she would take revenge, it would not be an exaggeration.

As for what will happen to Qi Zhengyu after his betrayal...

I can't care about it for the time being.

It was raining outside, but the room was even more stuffy.

Guan Yusheng's face was covered with sweat, and he finally gritted his teeth in despair: "What does Missy want to know?"

"Three questions." Qi Huan said, "First, before and after the Qinglong Festival, apart from tampering with the people and things around me, did you also play tricks on Brother Chen to deliberately delay his illness?"

She was just suspicious about this matter.

Because Qi Zhengyu wanted to plot against her, Yang Shi was the biggest obstacle, trying to stop Yang Shi...

It just so happened that Qi Yuanchen had been ill for a long time, and forced Yang to dare not ask her to return to Beijing.

Guan Yusheng never expected that she would even pay attention to this kind of thing, and the more frightened she was, the more she dared not take any chances.

He said: "The young master will always be a member of the Qi family. The old Hou Ye has no intention of harming him, but... the two imperial physicians invited by Mrs. Shi Zi, the old Hou Ye deliberately reminded the child when he was taking medicine. They are small and have a weak stomach, so tell them to be more careful."

Smallpox and pox, etc., were easily fatal in the extremely underdeveloped medical environment in ancient times.

Qi Yuanchen suffered from smallpox at that time, and he was ill for a long time.

If it really came time to take the risk and fight the poison with fire, but Qi Zhengyu deliberately gave the imperial physician a veiled hint in order to delay the time, the imperial physician naturally would not dare to act rashly.

after all--

It's normal that he couldn't be saved from that disease, but if it really happened because of his improper medication, the Qi family would investigate after the incident, and they would have a life on their shoulders, and they were the grandsons of the eldest son of the Marquis of Changning.

It can only be said that it was Qi Yuanchen's good luck, and by accident, he survived in the end.

Although Qi Huan hadn't seen that little thing at that time, he was also furious at this moment, and couldn't help but slap Guan Yusheng.

Guan Yusheng didn't dare to hide.

Neither Gu Zhan nor Qin Song moved.

Ji Xingluo whispered to her side and called anxiously: "Miss..."

Qi Huan closed his eyes, raised his hand, and signaled that she was fine.

Then she slowed down for a while, and when she calmed down again, she still had a clear mind and continued to ask in a calm tone: "The second question, has Qi Zhengyu tampered with my mother's illness over the years?"

"No." I don't know if it was because of the beating, but Guan Yu was afraid to continue to provoke her, so he immediately denied it.

Then facing Qi Huan's expressionless face, he immediately realized that this would arouse the other party's suspicion, and quickly explained: "The little one is absolutely true, at least in the past few years that the young one has been working for Lord Hou. Mrs. Shizi is a shrewd person, you know, Miss, even...even if Master Hou has any idea, it is not easy to get it easily. He is an absolutely cautious person, and he will not rush when he is not sure. did it."

Qi Huan believed what he said.

Yang is indeed not such an easy person to be calculated.

Even Qi Zhengyu took advantage of Qi Yuanchen's illness in such a way that no one could hold any grounds against him.

after all--

There is nothing wrong with the two words he mentioned about the imperial physician, even if confronted face to face, no one can accuse him of conspiracy.

After confirming that Yang's family was not plotted by the old man, Qi Huan finally returned to normal.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the sky was getting darker and darker.

"Okay, I'll believe you for now." Qi Huan didn't want to delay any longer: "Answer my last question. This morning you deceived Lord Qin Xiaohou, what exactly do you want to do?"

This time, Guan Yusheng's gaze instinctively began to dodge.

He admitted about Qi Yuanchen without hesitation, but now he dare not talk about it?

Is it because he is afraid that Lord Qin Xiaohou will retaliate?
still--

Is this matter worse than Qi Yuanchen's matter?
Qin Song's master and servants all frowned, ready to fight.

Guan Yusheng couldn't help but sneak a glance at Qin Song.

Qi Huan said: "I've said it before, I just need to listen to your truth, you are just following orders, as long as you tell the truth, I guarantee that no one will touch you!"

Realizing that it was Qin Song who was really afraid of the other party, she immediately changed the subject and warned again: "Don't fool me with the excuse of catching an adulterer in bed and ruining my reputation. You are indeed more than enough to deal with me in this way." , using this kind of trick to try to bring down Lord Qin Xiaohou and even Wu Chenghou's mansion... This reason is almost as good as fooling a fool!"

The reason why Qi Zhengyu dared to directly plot against Qin Song was that he must have made a plan to kill him with one blow, so that Qin Song would not be able to turn himself over.

There is no doubt about this!

From the corner of Guan Yusheng's eyes, he secretly glanced at the group of people present.

Qi Zhengyu did this, but now he is in front of so many people, and he finds it hard to even say it.

But looking at his unconscious elder brother next to him, he also knew that he couldn't bear the consequences of delaying, so he stared at the ground and said intermittently: "It's really not as simple as Miss Fourth thought. Master Hou's original plan was Bind Wu Chenghou and the eldest lady together, causing him to be frivolous and kill you by mistake, and then sue the court..."

Before he could finish speaking, Jian Xinghai kicked him frantically.

Guan Yusheng's whole body flew out and was kicked directly under the wall.

He clutched his chest and curled up into a ball, but he hugged his body directly, not daring to move.

Jian Xinghai yelled furiously: "No wonder people say that civil servants are sinister, this old man can even think of such tricks that harm others and benefit himself..."

On the contrary, he was a little short of words, and really didn't know how to describe this man's cruelty and shamelessness.

In the whole room, the atmosphere was silent for a while.

Qin Song's face was red and white, and his eyes were fierce as if he wanted to eat people.

Gu Zhan's eyes were no more kind than his, and his face was also livid and silent.

On the contrary, Qi Huan burst out laughing after the silence.

That's right!

In other words, since Qi Zhengyu met Qin Song, he would never do such a stupid thing with endless troubles.

After learning the truth, she suddenly became enlightened.

He asked Qin Song to come to the house in her name, but Qi Zhengyu didn't show up. After the incident happened, he went to the imperial court to argue. He could say that he didn't know anything about it. It could also be said that she called Qin Song to talk about the marriage contract between the two families. , and then Qin Song became wild for a while, and he was attracted by the color...

Even if he is a new nobleman in the court, the most dignified Marquis Wu Cheng, the crime of "rape and murder" the prostitute of the Marquis's family is enough to ruin his reputation and even kill him.

As for the Qi family, their female family members became victims, although it was an extremely disgraceful death, it would not cause too much damage to their reputation.

mainly--

This move kills three birds with one stone!

Not only did Qin Song get rid of the worries of the future, but he could also kick Qi Huan, a chess piece that was not under control and not under his Qi Zhengyu's control, directly out of the chessboard.
Qi Huan turned to look at Qin Song, but there was a relieved smile on his face.

She paused every word with profound meaning: "From this point of view, the young master owes me his life today!"

What's more, it is the honor, disgrace and future of the entire Marquis Wu's mansion!
Qin Song didn't see any embarrassment on her face, only the unexpected joy of the rest of her life after a catastrophe.

For a moment, he wondered what this girl's heart was made of. When encountering such a thing, she should have been more embarrassed and resentful than him!
However, Qi Huan was extremely calm.

Instead, it was Jian Xinghai who was jumping around the house.

There was nowhere to vent his anger, and he wished he could jump up and tear down the roof, so he rushed towards Guan Yusheng again.

Guan Yusheng clutched his chest and yelled in panic, "Miss, you said you wouldn't pursue the younger..."

So, Qin Song grabbed Jian Xinghai's wrist.

His eyes kept falling on Qi Huan's face in a complicated way.

Qi Huan, on the other hand, kept a nonchalant expression, twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "I mean what I say!"

Qin Song is naturally angry at the moment, and even his chest is boiling with anger like never before in his life.

But after all, he didn't say anything to Qi Huan, he just ordered coldly: "Clean up the aftermath and listen to Miss Qi's orders."

Then, unable to stay any longer, he flung his sleeves and left.
