wait till autumn

When Hua Feiyue woke up, her head was in a daze, as if she was in a dream.

She could hardly distinguish between reality and dream, because in comparison, her current physical condition was really too uncomfortable.

She tried her best to reach out her hand to touch her forehead, even though she only touched her fingertips, she immediately felt scorching hot, her fingertips shrank from the heat, and the temperature shocked herself.

Hua Feiyue wanted to sit up and drink a sip of water, but no matter how concentrated she was, she struggled even to open her eyes, and her eyelids could not be lifted heavily.After making several attempts, Hua Feiyue stopped forcing herself and fell asleep again.

At this time, Jun Zhaoying was investigating this matter very efficiently, and there was a bit of anger hidden in his usually calm eyes.

The general's mansion has always had a good atmosphere, and it is rare for such a crime to be committed.

She was so furious, not only because someone tried to hurt Hua Feiyue, but also because of this incident, she challenged her authority as a general, and Jun Zhaoying faintly sensed that there was something wrong with the management, who were almost all her cronies.

Jun Zhaoying didn't make a big fuss in the mansion to picket, but first secretly asked someone to lock up the fire worker.

Last night, the name given by the pyrotechnician was Yuchi.

Jun Zhaoying didn't have much impression of the name, so she asked Liu Ying to check it out, and found out that it was a little maid who was in charge of cleaning in the outer courtyard, only 12 years old this year.

Jun Zhaoying didn't believe that a little girl would have any ill intentions towards Hua Feiyue, not to mention the idea of ​​hiring a murderer to kill someone with a knife, which was clearly beyond the reach of a child.

But Yuchi is currently the only breakthrough, so she still called Yuchi over for interrogation.

When Yuchi was summoned by Liuying, he didn't know what he did wrong.Normally, she stayed in the outer courtyard, and even saw Jun Zhaoying very few times, let alone being summoned by the general himself.

Tremblingly following Liu Ying to the main hall, Yu Chi bowed to Jun Zhaoying: "I have seen the general."

Jun Zhaoying casually chatted with Yuchi for a while, making Yuchi almost think that Jun Zhaoying was just caring for his subordinates, and his vigilance was relaxed a lot, and a lot of information was revealed in just a few words.

The fireman who tried to sneak into Hua Feiyue's room at night was named Zhang Daniu, and he had no contact with Yuchi on weekdays. Yuchi said that he never knew anyone who worked in the kitchen, let alone a feud.

Jun Zhaoying thought to himself that the only possibility was that the person who ordered Zhang Daniu to come here wanted to frame Yuchi.

Jun Zhaoying saw that she didn't seem to be lying, so he changed the topic to other places: "Are there any people who work in the outer courtyard who are at odds with you? Or evil slaves who oppress others."

Yuchi didn't know what Jun Zhaoying meant by asking this, and thought it was the general who wanted to test her quality, so naturally he didn't dare to talk behind her back: "No, this servant and everyone get along very well."

Liuying naturally knew what the little girl was thinking, and said with a smile: "Sister Yuchi, don't be nervous, the general just wants to know about the situation in the outer court and see if anyone has misbehavior, so you can just say it. If what you say is true, you will be meritorious for reporting it. The general will reward you."

Yu Chi's eyes moved, obviously he wanted to say something, bit his lips again and again, and blessed himself again: "General Mingjian, the people in the outer court get along well. It's just..."

She paused, "Sister Lianxiang in the inner courtyard will ask us to hand over a certain amount of monthly salary."

Lianxiang is the maid with the highest status in the mansion besides Liuying, she is the person serving Xu Qinghe, and she is also the baby-faced girl Hua Feiyue didn't give her good looks on the first day she entered the mansion.

Jun Zhaoying didn't know much about this kind of low-level servants, and his eyes signaled Liu Ying to ask further.

Liuying understood: "Everyone in the outer courtyard must hand it over to her? What if they don't?"

Yuchi said: "Sister Lianxiang will lock up the slaves and beat them up, without giving them food or drink, until the slaves agree to hand over a certain share of their monthly salary. She also said..."

"What else?"

"Because of my mother's illness, the slave girl refused to pay her monthly salary, so she was threatened by sister Lianxiang... She said that if the general knew, the slave girl and others would be executed..."

Mentioning these threatening words, Yuchi's eyes filled with tears, as if he was afraid of Lianxiang, he gritted his teeth and knelt down, "Since the general asked today, the slaves will ask the general to be the master for the slaves."

Jun Zhaoying nodded without showing any emotion, and said in a neutral tone, "I never imagined that such a thing would happen in the house. This general will naturally decide for you."

As she said that, she gave Liu Ying a wink, Liu Ying naturally knew what to do, first comforted the crying Yuchi with kind words, and then went to pass on Lianxiang.

The condition of Xu Qinghe's residence was almost as good as the general's room, and she really arranged it carefully.

Liu Ying has not been here a few times, when she stepped in, Xu Qinghe was keeping accounts, and Lianxiang was grinding ink for her.

As the person in charge of the general's mansion, Xu Qinghe naturally has her own advantages; she is good at work calculations and personnel arrangements. Every account is not handled by others, but calculated one by one by herself. Leaks.

Liuying greeted Xu Qinghe with blessings.Xu Qinghe put down the pen slowly, looked up and saw that it was Liu Ying, and smiled softly: "Miss Ying."

She deliberately called only one word "Ying", which seemed kind.

"Hello Miss Xu." Liuying was different, she addressed Xu Qinghe in a distant and polite manner.

Xu Qinghe's subordinates, especially Lianxiang, all called her "Mrs. Qing";

As Jun Zhaoying's capable assistant, Liuying's status is unmatched by other servants, but she doesn't think much of Xu Qinghe, so she doesn't care to call her Madam.

The unsuspecting servants in the mansion said that the general's daughter-in-law will marry a mistress in the future, probably Xu Qinghe.

But Liu Ying knew that even though Xu Qinghe used various means to seduce the general, Jun Zhaoying still had no interest in Xu Qinghe, otherwise Xu Qinghe had stayed in the mansion for so long, how could this "madame" still have no name?

Sure enough, when Liu Ying did not call her Madam, Xu Qinghe's eyes turned cold, but he still smiled: "Did the general call Miss Ying here? Is there something important?"

Liuying said in a manly voice: "The general called me to pass on Miss Lianxiang. I wonder if it's convenient for the girl?"

She looked down on Xu Qinghe, so she didn't call herself a slave.

Lian Xiang, who was standing by the side and waiting for Xu Qinghe to write, suddenly tightened his face, as if he had done something wrong, he gritted his teeth, and finally followed Liu Ying.

After leaving Xu Qinghe's territory, Liuying was not so polite.

She had also practiced martial arts, and she pushed and pushed Lian Xiang mercilessly in front of Jun Zhaoying, holding Lian Xiang's right arm with her right hand, and pressing her shoulder hard with her left hand, Lian Xiang knelt down involuntarily.

Jun Zhaoying drank the tea in the cup slowly, not even leaving Lianxiang a bit out of the corner of his eye.

Liuying said coldly: "Lianxiang, are you guilty?"

Lianxiang was pressed to the ground, unable to lift his head, struggling desperately: "Please tell the general clearly, what crime did this servant commit!"

"Oh?" Jun Zhaoying seemed to be amused, and forced her to give her a smile, but with a murderous air, "Then what is this?"

A ledger was thrown on Lianxiang's face, and Lianxiang's expression changed suddenly, and his whole body froze.

Just now when Liuying went to pass on her, Jun Zhaoying also sent shadow guards to search Lianxiang's house, and found out the ledger where she searched for the servant's salary, and even found out the book that someone used outside Hua Feiyue's window last night. Bamboo tubes, as well as ambergris and other psychedelic drugs.

Jun Zhaoying threw those pieces of evidence on the ground again, and Lianxiang stopped struggling completely, without Liu Ying pressing her down, and knelt down on the ground.

After Lianxiang left, Xu Qinghe put away his calm pretense and hurried to Hua Feiyue's room with a few guards.

Hua Feiyue was still asleep, and didn't notice that someone was coming.

Xu Qinghe walked to her bedside and saw that although she had a fever, the aphrodisiac/medicine had obviously been removed, otherwise she would not have slept so peacefully.

"Bitch!"

Xu Qinghe clenched her fists tightly, pierced her palm with sharp nails, and said sharply, "Tie her up for me and take her to the dungeon."

Although there is a water dungeon in the general's mansion, it is vacant all year round. Because there are no people in the mansion who need to be imprisoned in the water dungeon, few people go there.

Xu Qinghe deliberately brought a few strong bodyguards, and they quickly tied up Hua Feiyue who was still unconscious, wrapped her in a quilt, and followed Xu Qinghe all the way to the water dungeon.

Since the water dungeon was at the deepest part of the General's Mansion, Xu Qinghe was not worried that someone would run into him.

Thinking this way, he bumped into someone head-on, and it was Nan Li, the medical girl.

Nan Li has set up a relatively damp land in the mansion, which is specially used to grow medicinal herbs; the water prison is also relatively dark and humid, so the place is very close to the water prison.

Xu Qinghe smiled far-fetchedly: "Miss Nan."

Nan Li didn't like to see her very much either, it was a kind of unreasonable contempt for her, seeing Xu Qinghe coming, it was as if she hadn't seen her, and she just fiddled with her own flowers and plants.

Xu Qinghe ignored her and continued walking towards the water prison with the guards.

Nan Li only raised his head slightly, glanced at the ball of quilts carried by the guards, and then looked back at the direction they came from, showing an inexplicable smile.
