dawn of dynasty

Chapter 73
Canglang City, Hong Mansion, in the courtyard with deep vegetation, Xie Wanqing is reading a book.

She is in a good mood.

Because the strategy she adopted was better than she expected.

The commander-in-chief favored her again yesterday, which was tantamount to announcing to everyone that she had not fallen out of favor.To be honest, even she was surprised that the handsome man would favor her again so quickly.

Originally, she thought that no matter what she did, she would be left hanging for half a month.

However, this also made Xie Wanqing realize to her surprise that the commander-in-chief liked her more than she thought.

This is a great advantage that you must hold on to.

After regaining her favor, Xie Wanqing did not get carried away, nor did she take the opportunity to sue the commander-in-chief to the "sisters" who had given her food in the past few days.

Instead, he consistently maintains his persona of being as light as a chrysanthemum.

She knew very well that her natal family had no power and was even a burden. Her own power had not yet been developed, and all her honors and favors were tied to the commander-in-chief.

Getting carried away too early is the only way to die.

Thinking of her mother's family, Xie Wanqing inevitably thought of her younger brother Xie Chang'an: counting the time, he should be in the countryside. I hope he won't cause trouble for her again in the future.

Xie Wanqing sighed softly in her heart.

At this time, the phone in the house rang.

"Miss, this is Secretary Hao's phone number."

After the maid answered the phone, she shouted outside.

Secretary Hao?
Xie Wanqing frowned slightly and quickly stood up.

Secretary Hao is the Marshal's confidential secretary. It would not be a small matter for him to call him.

"Secretary Hao, what do you want to see me for?"

Xie Wanqing took the phone and asked.

On the other end of the phone, Secretary Hao was silent for a second.

"Miss Xie, there is something I need to tell you."

Secretary Hao did not call Xie Wanqing madam because the title madam only belonged to Governor Hong’s wife, and a concubine like Xie Wanqing was not qualified to be called madam.

"Your brother is dead, please express your condolences."

Who?
Xie Wanqing didn't react for a while, but she reacted after a few seconds.

"Who killed it?"

At this moment, Xie Wanqing's face turned pale.

Her first reaction was Shen Guanye, but she killed it as soon as the thought came up.

It couldn't be Shen Guanye.

Previously, Shen Guanye had completed the combination of vertical and horizontal movements without taking a breath, and easily kicked her brother off the horse, so that she had to suffer the loss of being dumb, which showed her mature skills.

Since he has such mature skills, it is impossible to do such rough and intense work.

Furthermore, if it was Shen Guanye who killed him, then what effort would he have wasted in front of him?
Are you sick?
"It's the Red Man Gang."

Secretary Hao's reply came from the other side.

Red Man Gang?
Secretary Hao did not say the specific situation, but as soon as these three words came out, Xie Wanqing roughly guessed the reason.

What the Red Hero Gang likes to do most is to assassinate traitors and eliminate violence, and in the eyes of the Red Hero Gang, the biggest traitor is Marshal Hong.

Xie Changan is the handsome brother-in-law and a bully.

In the eyes of the Red Hero Gang, killing him was simply politically correct.

"I see."

After a long moment of silence, Xie Wanqing replied. Only then did she realize that her voice was trembling and her whole body was shaking unconsciously.

No matter what, Xie Changan is still her brother, the one who grew up with her.Moreover, Xie Changan did not hesitate to hang out outside, and he still cared about her sister.

Now it suddenly disappeared, and her mind was blank for a moment.

"Thank you, Miss. Please forgive me."

Secretary Hao's comfort came from the other side.

"Well, thank you for calling and telling me."

Xie Wanqing responded almost mechanically.After hanging up the phone, Xie Wanqing sat on the sofa with a dull expression.

"Miss."

The maid Xiaocui looked at Xie Wanqing worriedly.

Xie Wanqing seemed unaware, she just sat there numbly.

But gradually, beyond the sadness, a strange emotion began to emerge: relaxation and joy—uncontrollable relaxation and joy.

Xie Wanqing didn't know what was wrong with herself.

My brother was killed, and I felt relieved and secretly happy.

You are so bad, Xie Wanqing!

Simply not human!

how could you do this?

How can you do this?
You should be sad and cry at this time!

The traditional moral values ​​made Xie Wanqing constantly curse herself in her heart.

She wanted to appear sadder.

but failed.

Even the ripples of joy in her heart were getting bigger and bigger. If Xiaocui hadn't been watching worriedly from the side, a smile might have appeared on her face.

She and Xie Changan did have a brother-sister relationship, but Xie Changan had indeed caused a lot of trouble for her since she was a child, and she had long been tired of wiping his butt.

Now, she no longer has to wipe her butt, and no one will drag her down anymore.

Xie Wanqing was still sitting on the sofa numbly, but she began to think calmly in her heart.

How to deal with it next, and how to use this matter to maximize the benefits.

Although cold-blooded, she had to do this.

In Hongdong County, an even more shocking news spread.

Xie Chang'an, the former police chief and Hong Dashuai's brother-in-law, died and was assassinated by the masters of the Chixia Gang on the Zhenlong River.

If the previous violent death of Zhou Chongzong's family was like a big stone falling into the calm water, it would cause ripples throughout Hongdong County.

The news sent shockwaves throughout Hongdong County, which suddenly overshadowed the impact of Zhou Chongzong's death.

As the director of the public security station, Shen Guanye was "pretending" to track down the ghost-faced Yama, as if he vowed to avenge Zhou Chongzong. When this happened, he had to focus on this matter.

This made him secretly relieved.

After all, when investigating Zhou Chongzong's case, he had to pretend to be sad, but there was no need for Xie Changan's death!

After handling the series of chain reactions caused by Xie Changan's death with his outstanding acting skills, Shen Guanye returned home dragging his somewhat tired body.

When he got home, he found that there was a surprising figure in the house.

"Master Qingning!"

he shouted happily.

In the hall, a female nun was sitting opposite his mother An, and the two were talking.

Beside him, Shen Zhimei was holding her son and saying something from time to time.

The nun is slightly chubby, with fair and smooth skin, and a peaceful and compassionate smile. She makes people feel peaceful just by looking at her. She has the meaning of being solemn and compassionate.

This is Master Qingning, the head nun of Zhishui Nunnery.

Zhishui nunnery was founded not long ago, and was built more than ten years ago.

When the nunnery was first built, Shen Guanye's grandmother, as a lay practitioner who devoted herself to chanting Buddha's name, donated a large sum of money.

It can be said that Shen Guanye's grandmother contributed a lot to the construction of Zhishui Nunnery. Therefore, Zhishui Nunnery is a bit like the Shen family's family nunnery.

Later, because Shen Guanye's grandmother had a very compassionate character, and Master Qingning also had a similar character, they both talked about it and got along well.

Over time, the two sides developed a deep friendship.

When Shen Guanye's grandmother passed away, it was Master Qingning who built his own water and land ashram and recited the Sutra of Rebirth.

As the most favored eldest grandson, Shen Guanye was often taken to Zhishui Temple by his grandmother when he was a child, so he was naturally very close to Master Qingning.

　Xie Wanqing is a relatively important supporting role (but she doesn’t have any emotional relationship with the protagonist!), so there will be more ink, don’t be surprised~
