Fly in the ancient abuse [Transmigration Book]

Chapter 7: Calling the shots for you

Maybe it's because Liu Kaishan is a steadfast father at home. Liu Guanqing has a gentler personality and is good at listening to other people's opinions.Xie Wuyao's suggestion is indeed safer than two people unpacking Lin Wu's luggage in the house.

"Then since it's being dismantled in front of the Peng family, otherwise you should not get involved." Liu Guanqing thought a little more about Xie Wuyao.

Xie Wuyao made a solemn statement: "With me present, at least it can prove that Miss Lin and Liu Shaoxia just met by chance."

"You really trust me so much. If we met by chance, why would Lin Wu entrust me to keep the luggage?" Liu Guanqing asked this question, feeling guilty in her heart, because he never said that he was the son of the martial arts leader.He didn't even tell his identity, but Xie Wuyao can trust him so much, the other party is a really magnanimous gentleman.

Xie Wuyao said, I have read the whole book, of course the character of the protagonist Gong is clear, otherwise why would he come to eat and drink with him.But at this moment, he naturally wanted to say something nice, so he couldn't help but smiled and replied: "Liu Shaoxia is a gentleman at first glance, and he is from a famous family. He has always helped me out of righteousness, and helping Miss Lin before would not be cheating on me. Shaoxia does not do things wrong. Asking for something in return, the integrity is really admirable. Now I just stand up and tell the truth, I hope Liu Shaoxia will give me this opportunity."

Liu Guanqing was moved, just now he was in the main hall of the Zuo family, was introduced by Zuo Shijia, the patriarch of the Zuo family, and he already got to know Peng Qiang, the head of the Peng family.At this time, he invited everyone to his room, and told everyone about the process of meeting Lin Wu, and what happened around the night he slept with Lin Wu and Xie Wuyao.

Xie Wuyao also truthfully told what he had seen and heard.What he and Liu Guanqing said were all facts, and their demeanors naturally had their own emphasis, but they both confirmed each other's experiences.Let the listener temporarily find out doubts.

The leader named Peng Qiang turned around and asked Xie Wuyao, "Where did this brother Xie come from?"

"Passing by." Xie Wuyao answered seriously.

"Then why did you follow Liu Shaoxia to Zuo's house?"

"I hurt my head from a fall, and I can't remember who it was, so Liu Shaoxia generously took me in temporarily. I was just thinking about walking around the city, maybe I could meet someone who knows me." Xie Wuyao opened his eyes and said nonsense.

This Xie Wuyao was from the capital with an accent, and unexpectedly met Liu Guanqing, the son of the martial arts leader, by such a coincidence, his identity was a bit suspicious.Peng Qiang has been traveling in Beijing all year round, working for the queen, and has also been to Xie Haoran's mansion outside the palace.I always feel as if I have seen Xie Wuyao somewhere, but I can't remember it for a while.After all, Xie Wuyao's appearance is so outstanding, and his surname is Xie, if he has seen it somewhere, or if he is a member of the Xie family, he must be deeply impressed.I hope that Xie Wuyao is really an ordinary passer-by, who lives by Liu Guanqing's side, and has nothing to do with the "inner minister" in Beijing.

Just when everyone was going to unpack Lin Wu's package together, a servant from the Zuo family found the guest courtyard and reported outside Liu Guanqing's door: "Liu Shaoxia, there is an injured young girl who came to you outside the gate and said it was yours. My friend, please take me in."

"What's the girl's name? Is she alone or with a companion?"

"The girl's surname is Lin. She seemed to be hunted down by someone alone, but those who chased her retreated after seeing the plaque of our Zuo family."

In the Zuo family of Tongling City, both black and white are not easily provoked.

Liu Guanqing didn't dare to delay, she apologized, and followed the servant who reported the news to the gate first.It turned out to be Lin Wu, half of her sleeve was dripping with blood, her hair was in a messy bun and her complexion was pale. When she saw Liu Guanqing, she yelled, "Liu Shaoxia, save me!" and she passed out on the ground.

Liu Guanqing had no choice but to ask the Zuo family to send a few servants to help, and sent Lin Wu to the guest hospital first, and arranged for a doctor to diagnose and treat her.

What everyone wanted to unpack was Lin Wu's luggage. At this time, the rightful lord has arrived, and everyone is not in a hurry.It is not easy for such a weak and injured woman to leave after entering Zuo's house.Might as well wait for the doctor to wake her up, and then they will have a face-to-face questioning.If Lin Wu's master really died in Peng's house, there is no need to troubleshoot elsewhere.

Everyone waited until Lin Wu woke up slowly at night when the lamps were lit.

The doctor took the pulse and said that Lin Wu was fine except for the trauma, so feel free to ask everyone if you have anything to say.

Seeing so many people around, Lin Wu's expression was panicked and alert, and she couldn't help looking at the relatively familiar Liu Guanqing: "Liu Shaoxia, this is..."

Liu Guanqing stepped forward and replied: "This is the guest house of Zuo's family. You passed out outside the gate just now, and we brought you in for treatment. Is someone chasing you? Where is your companion?"

Tears welled up in Lin Wu's big eyes: "Aunt Wang was arrested by the gangsters. They asked me to hand over the things my master took when he was dying."

"What exactly is that thing? Is it in the luggage you entrusted me to keep?" Liu Guanqing asked in a concentrated voice.

Lin Wu pursed her lips, and looked hesitantly at the strange people around her.

Liu Guanqing explained: "These are the guards of the Peng family. They are looking for the lost treasures of the ancestral home in Jing County. If you know the clues, or if you have any grievances, you can tell them directly. Don't be afraid, I am here. If you are innocent, you will be innocent. Will call the shots for you."

As the son of the martial arts lord, defending a Jianghu woman, at least the Zuo family will give him some face.As for the Peng family, although they are relatives of the emperor, they have to be reasonable.Unlike when the late emperor was there, the members of the Peng family did not dare to act recklessly.

Lin Wu hesitated for a moment, she is not stupid, the situation is here, she is obedient and obedient, maybe Liu Guanqing can really help her, otherwise how can she go any other way?She wiped her tears, lowered her posture and asked softly, "Thank you Liu Shaoxia. Have you opened the luggage I left behind?"

Liu Guanqing said with a little embarrassment: "Originally, I wanted to invite people from the Peng family to open their bags and check. But you happened to be here, so I should have asked you about this matter. Otherwise, it would be too impolite."

"It doesn't matter. There is something wrapped in oilcloth in the luggage, which is an old makeup box." Lin Wu choked up and said, "The master only gave me this before he died. To be precise, it was the night before his death when Mrs. Peng gave birth. Before. After the master gave me this thing, she told me to leave quietly. At that time, she said that Mrs. Peng’s pregnancy was dangerous, and she might kill two people. She was afraid that I would be implicated. Therefore, I was asked to leave first. If I heard something wrong Good news, don't go back to Jing County again."

When everyone was puzzled, Xie Wuyao delivered the luggage to Lin Wu in silence.In fact, he worked secretly, and had already quietly shaken a crack in the makeup box.

Lin Wu had an arm injury, and an attendant from the Peng family next to her helped her untie the bag, found the oilcloth bag, and opened it in public.

So everyone saw a makeup box the size of a palm, it was very small, at most it could hold a few bracelets and earrings, but even larger hairpins couldn't fit.The outside of the makeup box is decorated with tortoise shell, and the workmanship is exquisite, but the patent leather is a bit dull, and it should be an old item of a certain age.

And there was an obvious new crack at the bottom of the makeup box, revealing a corner of yellow stuff.

On the way Lin Wu fled, she had seen this makeup box in private. It was not damaged on the outside, but it was empty inside.Why is the makeup box cracked so much now?Although the makeup box itself is worth a few dollars, it is not a rare treasure.She thought it was a reward from Mrs. Peng's family.I didn't expect the Peng family to say that they stole the treasure.

At this time, look at the cracks at the bottom of the makeup box, it is obvious that there is an interlayer.So the so-called treasure is hidden in the mezzanine?

With quick hands and quick eyes, Peng Qiang took the makeup box and pulled out a piece of yellow silk from the bottom.There are not many characters on the yellow silk, it seems to be someone's birth date, and the handwriting is beautiful and looks like a woman's handwriting.

In ancient times, only the orthodox royal family could use yellow silk, and other people's indiscriminate use of it was a serious crime of confiscation and extermination.Although the Peng family has produced empress dowagers and empresses, it is impossible to use silk of this color in their own house.

This silk weaver has complicated patterns, which is unusual at first glance, and should be used by the imperial court.Why was it hidden in this old makeup box, and why was it in the hands of a steady woman?Looking at the horoscope of birth date, the year backwards is exactly the year when Empress Peng gave birth to the first prince.

Not only the royal family, but also wealthy families will take good care of the birth date of their children. If they are not close relatives or in-laws, at most they only know the birth date and not the horoscope, lest someone use the horoscope to do sneaky things.Therefore, even Peng Qiang, who is the Queen's confidant, doesn't know whose birthday horoscope is at this time.

Peng Qiang realized the importance of the matter, and whispered to Liu Guanqing: "Liu Shaoxia, the next step may be related to the secrets of the royal family, and those who have nothing to do should step down first."

Liu Guanqing glanced at Xie Wuyao.

Xie Wuyao didn't speak, and quietly exited the room.Anyway, with his internal strength cultivation, he can hear the conversation here clearly even in the next door.Besides, the plot is nothing more than that, he knows more than those people.

After Xie Wuyao left, Peng Qiang cautiously arranged for his men to go outside the room and guard, so as not to let other people interfere.He returned to the bed again, and asked, "Lin Wu, who are you and your master?"

Lin Wu boldly asked, "Is this really a treasure lost by your Peng family?"

Peng Qiang replied: "It should be right. Although this makeup box is ordinary, it should be given to Peng Li by the empress. It is naturally a treasure for the Peng family. Maybe there are other jewels in it, which are called You swallowed it for yourself."

Peng Lishi?Liu Guanqing frowned, feeling suspicious in her heart, if Peng Qiang was the guard of the Peng family in Jing County, why did he use such a contemptuous address for his wife, shouldn't he be a certain wife?Could it be that Peng Qiang, under the banner of the Peng family, was actually sent by the empress of Jingzhong?

Liu Guanqing thought of this, but she wouldn't question her face to face.The matter is important, so he should listen more and ask less. If he hadn't promised to protect Lin Wu just now, it would be safer for him to find an excuse to leave first.

Lin Wu said angrily, "Impossible! My master would not do such a thing. She treats women's diseases in the south of the Yangtze River, assists people in confinement and delivery, and has been in and out of many wealthy people's houses. Hiding things from the Lord's family. If there is any jewelry in this makeup box, it is also a gift from the madam. We will not take it without telling you."

"How can you reward someone else with something that is bestowed by the emperor?" Peng Qiang snorted coldly, "Who is your master's name and where did it come from?"

Lin Wu faintly noticed that the focus of the investigation was not on the treasures in the makeup box.The yellow silk had been put away by Peng Qiang without any trace, and no one else could see it clearly.Could it be that the words on the yellow silk involve royal secrets?That master's origin must not be truthful, otherwise even if Liu Shaoxia was around, she would not be able to save her life.People in the Jianghu dare not take care of the affairs of the Tian family.

Lin Wu followed her master on the rivers and lakes for many years. She practiced well in observing words and acting and pretending to be stupid. She pretended to be puzzled and said: "My master is my master. Her surname is Lin. I don't know what her name is. Others call her Granny Lin. I am an abandoned baby she picked up by the side of the road, and I have been traveling with her all the time. Didn’t I just say that she is a stable woman, and she also sees women’s hidden diseases. Unfortunately, my qualifications are mediocre, and I have been working for the master. I haven’t learned much That's right, she's gone..."

Having said that, Lin Wu broke down in tears, covered her face and began to cry again.

In fact, Lin Wu played sloppy eyes on purpose, and mixed a few truth words into the ten false words to confuse the public.Of course she knew the master's name and even his background, and even vaguely guessed more secrets.
