Hexi

Chapter 298 Willow Alley
A conflict between Chang He and Chang Yun could not be avoided. He smashed Chang Yun's forehead, and Chang Yun injured his face and arm.

This is the first time that Chang He and Chang Yun have directly torn faces since Chang He's uncle broke his leg.In the past, Chang Yun repeatedly tripped him up, but he couldn't bear it.But today it seems unnecessary. He and his father have already fought back against Lord Zhen Guo. One step further in the direction of progress.Chang Shilang will become more powerful, and by then, he will personally deal with that bastard Chang Yun!
"Second Master, you've been up late, please drink some soup."

In the room where the servant was rubbing the medicine on him, Mrs. Rong opened the door and came in, putting the medicine in front of him.Seeing the injuries on his body, Mrs. Rong sighed: "We are all brothers, why do you have the heart to do such a heavy hand?"

Chang He gritted his teeth: "He's not my brother. I didn't recognize him as a brother when he pushed me into the water a year ago!"

Sao Rong sighed again, and handed him the soup: "Master is back."

Chang He looked up at her through the medicine: "When did you come back?"

"Just now?" Aunt Rong put down the soup, "However, it looks like I have to go out. Just now, the servants and servants passed by the academy and heard the sound of rummaging through boxes and cabinets inside, and they seemed very anxious. Is the master in a hurry?"

"Really?" Chang He immediately stood up and quickly put on his clothes, "I'll go and have a look!"

Aunt Rong chased to the door: "I haven't had the soup yet!"

But the people outside had already gone impatiently, without even looking back.

Mrs. Rong stood under the door for a while, then walked back calmly to cover the soup pot, and then brought it to the table steadily.

……

Chang He rushed all the way to Chang Wei's study, but the study was empty.

Files and documents were scattered on the desk, and the ground was also a mess.

"Second Master." The servant who was waiting here called him from behind.

Chang He turned around: "Where's father?"

"Master, go out again!"

"Where did he go?"

"Little I don't know."

The servant has white hair and beard, and is an old servant of the Chang family.

Chang He didn't make a sound for a moment.

He has never seen Chang Wei so flustered, his room and table are always tidy, no matter how busy he is, no matter how many official duties he has, he will never allow any mess.But he just came in a hurry, made the study so bad, and then left in a hurry.He didn't even bother to explain to him how the plan for tonight was going?
What the hell happened?

He raised his legs and walked out, but when he reached the threshold, he kicked a torn envelope away.

The envelope only had the remaining half of the address, and it said "XX Alley No. [-] Hospital".

……

"Mother! Mother!"

Mrs. Chang was a light sleeper, and she woke up as soon as there was a sound in her ear.

The weak candlelight left in the room was enough for her to see the face in front of her clearly, she was stunned for a moment, and stood up: "He'er?"

"Mother, do you know where father is?"

"I don't know," Mrs. Chang looked at him blankly, "Didn't he go to the yamen because the official storehouse was on fire?"

Chang He's throat rolled a bit, and he asked again: "Then do you know, does our family have a house, is it in the No. [-]th Courtyard of A in which alley in the capital?"

"The No. [-] Courtyard?" Mrs. Chang woke up, "Willow Alley?"

"Willow Alley?"

"That's right. He bought the No. [-] Courtyard in Liushu Hutong two years ago. He didn't disturb anyone. He said it would be useful. We still have several houses like this in our family. It's not a big deal. But He told me, because he never lied to me, let alone secretly bought a house and didn’t tell me, so that if I found out in the future, I would suspect that he was raising a foreign house.”

"I see."

Chang He didn't care about the pride on Mrs. Chang's face, and quickly retreated.

"Go to Willow Alley!"

When he arrived at the front yard, he ordered his followers to lead a horse and ride up.

……

Liushu Hutong is located in the northeast corner of the capital where there are not many people. It is close to the moat, and it is mostly a courtyard for merchants.

At this moment, Chang Wei's lower garment was covered with bloodstains, he really didn't look like a decent businessman, but with the cover of night, no one could see it.

The carriage went straight into the yard, and he endured his leg injury to get out of the carriage, carrying his heavy baggage on his back, looking like he was running away in a panic, startling the servants who came to greet him one after another.

"Quick, get some medicine for the master!"

The leading steward hurriedly ordered to go down, and hurriedly came to pick up the burden in his hand.

But Chang Wei refused to hand it over to him, and only said: "Go and light the lamp in the study!"

This is a three-entry house, neither big nor small, neither so simple that anyone can break through the wall, nor so luxurious that it attracts attention.

The study is in the small courtyard on the west side of the second entrance, and a corner of plantain is planted. The huge leaves are like huge slaps, and they slap Chang Wei on the face when he passes by.

His face was hot, as if he had been slapped by reality.

He claims to be exhaustive, for example, Xue Rong's case, he has gnawed it all down, and he has not let it go, but today he fell short and lost to Han Mo, that young man, Luo Zhi is enough to squeeze out The little Hell King of Donglinwei, the world's evaluation of him is domineering, bullying, and flaunting his power, but this kind of him appeared at the most critical moment when he was about to accomplish his affairs, and broke his plan. He was as distraught as a bereaved dog.

"Bring a brazier in!"

After entering the room, he put down the burden, and greeted the outside, while opening the cabinet on the wall, and took out one secret item after another from it.

Time is running out, he needs to hurry.He is too clear about Fang Mei's thoughts at this time, everything is planned by him, Chang Wei, and Fang Mei is just an accomplice who obeys orders, as long as he has a breath, he will definitely confess him!Of course, it doesn't matter if he confesses, but he has to get rid of all these things before Han Mo finds him!As long as they can't get evidence, he's safe!For many people, he is still valuable, as long as there is no evidence, he will be safe and sound!

Perhaps the desire to survive was too strong, so strong that he couldn't hold anything else in his mind. As he moved, his hands trembled, and the books, documents, and utensils that had just been placed in a pile fell to the ground!
"Master, the brazier is here!"

"Bring it in!"

Chang Wei couldn't hold it back any longer, and suddenly shouted violently, the servant brought the basin in with trembling hands, and quickly retreated behind closed doors.

The fire was polished, and the room that was only lit by one lamp suddenly became brighter, and the flames quivered like the long tongue of a giant beast.

He grabbed an account book, lit it, and threw it into the brazier. Then he took another file, and threw it into the fire again.

The room was glowing red, blending in with the blood on his leg.
