Reborn to marry a playboy, the scumbag kneels down and calls me aunt
Chapter 91: Things are getting difficult
The sound of insects chirping and the night breeze blowing.
Su Xuqing snuggled in Shen Xuanheng's arms and talked about what happened during the day.
When talking about the death row prisoners in Gyeonggi Prefecture, Shen Xuanheng was suddenly stunned.
"You just said, what was the name of that death row prisoner? Cao Can?"
"Yeah, what's the problem?"
The firelight was bright, Su Xuqing raised her head, her moist eyes were shining with light, blinking like stars in the night sky...
In Hexi Village, there is an old mother at home...
Combining what Su Xuqing said to the old man playing chess, Shen Xuanheng couldn't help but laugh. It really is true that there is no coincidence in the world.
Since Cao Can helped Su Xuqing improve her medical skills and save lives, and his case is somewhat suspicious, let's get someone to investigate it.
Just think of it as a good relationship.
"Nothing, it just sounds familiar."
Shen Xuanheng shook his head and did not dwell on this topic, but continued: "Madam, have you customized your clothes?"
"Of course... Oh, by the way, speaking of this, I forgot to tell you that a few days ago, when I was ordering clothes at Tianyi Pavilion, I met the wife and daughter of the Minister of Justice, and we had a few words."
"Hmm?" Shen Xuanheng frowned, "Did you suffer any loss?"
"No, his daughter scolded me, so I slapped her. Later, Xu Younian also came and his attitude was quite nice. Unfortunately, I didn't know he was the one who hurt me at that time, otherwise I would have made him pay!"
Su Xuqing shook her little fist as she spoke.
"what!"
Su Xuqing was suddenly startled and turned out of bed, "Oh, right, I got you a 300-year-old Yinhe Tiangui. It is said to have miraculous effects on your pecking sparrow pulse. I have to make it for you right away!"
After saying that, she rolled over Shen Xuanheng, then stepped on her embroidered shoes without pulling up her heels, and walked out of the door with light steps. Then she called Yinhuan to go to the kitchen to boil medicine.
As he heard the footsteps getting farther and farther away, Shen Xuanheng's expression grew colder.
The name Xu Younian had already made him a little annoyed. The longer he stayed, the more danger Su Xuqing would be in. He had to be eliminated quickly.
We already have witnesses, all we need is physical evidence.
In Daliang State's criminal cases, the most important thing is evidence, and without any of them it will be difficult to close the case.
However, Shen Xuanheng no longer had the patience to slowly look for physical evidence. As long as he could catch the culprit in the act, it didn't matter whether there was physical evidence or not.
"Baizhu."
As soon as Shen Xuanheng finished speaking, Bai Zhu's shadow was reflected on the window paper.
"My subordinate is here."
After Shen Xuanheng whispered a few words, Bai Zhu nodded and his figure quickly disappeared.
At the middle of the night, Xue Tao slept in the maid's bedroom. There were four maids in the fourth room. She and Yinhuan lived in one room, and the other two maids who cleaned the house lived in another.
Half asleep and half awake, Xue Tao felt someone patting her face.
"Um... Yinhuan, you're not sleeping so late at night... you..."
Xue Tao opened her eyes in a daze, and when she saw a burly figure in front of her, she was so frightened that her whole body trembled.
"Shh!"
The man reached out and covered Xue Tao's mouth, and whispered, "Follow me."
As soon as the visitor opened his mouth, Xue Tao's face turned pale.
This voice was very familiar, it was the great master, Bai Zhu.
Xue Tao cleared her throat, her heart in her throat, she wanted to cry but had no tears. It seemed that she was recognized by him when they met in the daytime.
But at this moment, Xue Tao didn't dare to think of running away. In front of the Grandmaster, how could a small shrimp like her escape? And the last time she ran away, Bai Zhu caught up with her and beat her until she vomited blood.
With the experience from last time, Xue Tao gave up struggling and followed Bai Zhu out.
In the corner of the yard, Bai Zhu laughed and deliberately frightened her, saying, "You are really good at hiding things under the lamp. If I hadn't met you by chance today, I would never have thought that you were hiding here."
"What do you want to do?"
Xue Tao looked at Bai Zhu nervously, not sure why he came to visit her at night.
"calm."
Bai Zhu pressed his hands down, then said calmly: "Since I let you live, I won't go back on my word. I'm here because the Pavilion Master wants to see you."
"What...what happened?"
Bai Shu held up three fingers and said, "Three days later, the Pavilion Master will be waiting for you on the Chaomu Mountain outside the capital. He will tell you the details in private."
"Morning and dusk mountain..."
As Xue Tao chewed on the place name, her face turned pale. She was very familiar with this place. It was the place where the assassination attempt on Su Xuqing by the Blood Robe Tower was failed and they were killed instead.
Why did Liang Heng choose this place to meet? Was he planning to settle scores later?
"Must...must I go?"
"You don't have to go."
Xue Tao let out a long sigh and patted his chest, "Then I won't go..."
"If you don't go, the Pavilion Master will tell His Royal Highness the Crown Prince about your identity..."
"I'll go! Why can't I go?"
Xue Tao was furious, and then she looked at Bai Zhu's teasing eyes, it was clear that he was deliberately teasing her!
"Okay, then it's settled."
Bai Zhu's figure flashed and disappeared without a trace.
Xue Tao returned to his room dejected and distracted.
I thought I could hide peacefully in the Zhennan Palace, and there would be nothing wrong with being a maid for Su Xuqing. After all, the lady has a good temper, and the prince is not a lustful person...
Although there are a lot of odd jobs to do on weekdays, as long as you have enough food and clothing, isn't this much happier than being in the bloody world of martial arts?
But now, Tianxing Pavilion came to visit again...
Is it true that the old saying goes, once you enter the world of martial arts, life and death are yours?
Xue Tao tossed and turned, thinking over and over again, and decided to confront Liang Heng after meeting him this time. She would either die or cut herself off from the matter and become a maid for the rest of her life.
After making up his mind, Xue Tao was no longer anxious and fell into a deep sleep.
The next day.
Su Xuqing and Shen Xuanheng got up early in the morning and went to serve tea to the old lady and greet her as usual. On the corridor leading to the old lady's room, Su Xuqing heard many maids whispering.
Su Xuqing listened with her ears pricked up and found that they were all talking about Zhao Qiankun.
Since the house rules of the Prince of Zhennan's Mansion were not strict, most maids and servants who made mistakes would not be punished too severely. The female members of each room would at most be beaten with a stick or locked up in the ancestral hall, so the palace had no place like a dungeon to accommodate Zhao Qiankun.
So the guards in the mansion made a cage out of wooden boards, put Zhao Qiankun in it, and then placed both the man and the cage in the back garden.
The maids and servants in the mansion were walking around and found it strange, so they discussed it a little.
However, since Shen Xuanheng did not allow his servants to get close to Zhao Qiankun, most people did not know Zhao Qiankun's origins, let alone why he was imprisoned and where he was.
"My husband, will there be any problems if Zhao Qiankun is kept in the mansion?"
Shen Xuanheng thought for a moment and said, "Except for the spine and skull, most of the bones in this person's body are broken. It's difficult for him to even move his fingers. There shouldn't be any problem."
Su Xuqing nodded, "That's true. Most people would have died of pain if their bones were broken like this."
The fact that Zhao Qiankun is still alive is already a rare talent. In this state, what kind of trouble could possibly go wrong?
