Medical skills help me win the arrogant husband

Chapter 34 Blackmail Mrs. Chu

Mrs. Chu was always restless for the first two days.

In the dead of night, Master Hongya's words pierced her heart like a needle, making her toss and turn, terrified.

Until yesterday, after meeting the bandit children Zhu Gan and Zhu Wei, Mrs. Chu got out of her horns.

The Zhu family were bandits. They robbed houses and killed countless people. After doing all kinds of bad things, they were finally recruited by the court and granted the title of earl. Zhu Wei was also given the title of county lord.

Although she has done many wicked things, the crimes she committed are far less than those of the Zhu family.

Those who have done all kinds of murder and evil deeds are made earls and enjoy the glory and wealth. It doesn't make sense that she will suffer retribution for such a small crime.

After Madam Chu figured it out, she acted.

It's just that one night passed and one morning passed, until the Golden Wuxi fell and the full moon rose high.

There was no movement in the guest courtyard of the old lady of the Gu family.

In the end, he was guilty of being a thief, and he dared not send someone to inquire, so he could only pretend not to know.

In the afternoon, Mrs. Chu became a little uneasy.

Because Zhou You's family came to tell her that her brother had disappeared safely.

Madam Chu's heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly sent someone to look for her.

But because I have a ghost in my heart, I am embarrassed to look for it with great fanfare.

At night, the full moon was bright and bright, and the mountain breeze was cool, but there was still no sign of safety, and Mrs. Chu's bad premonition grew stronger.

But she had already come here in strong winds and waves, and only one guard was missing. Even if she was found and captured alive, a mere guard would not be enough to break her down.

Madam Chu, who thought she was safe, was going to sleep, so a little novice came to her.

Although it was very late, Mrs. Chu still met the little monk.

"Someone wants the poor monk to deliver this letter to Mrs. Chu." The little novice gave the letter to Mrs. Chu and left.

Mrs. Chu opened the letter, and when she saw the contents of the letter, her eyes widened. When she saw the signature at the end, her whole body was cold and her face was ashen.

"Mother, what was written in the letter?" Fourth Miss Chu saw her mother's appearance and was about to go up to read the letter, but Madam Chu crumpled the letter into a ball and said sharply, "This is not your business to ask."

Mrs. Chu dismissed her daughter, and then dismissed the servants in the house, and once again unfolded the crumpled paper, her face was bloodless.

"Black Cavalry, Quan An was caught by the Black Cavalry."

Madam Chu's eyes turned black.

She thought of many reasons, even if Quan An fell into the hands of the Great Buddha Temple or the government, she would have a way to kill herself.But when they met the black knight guards who cannibalize people, they had to be afraid.

Because the power of the black knight guards lies in the fact that they have the power to picket officials, supervise civil and military honors, and are not supervised by any forces, and have been growing wildly.The most notorious thing about the Black Knights is that they have the right to kill first and act later, and they will charge you with a lot of crimes without evidence, not to mention that they will be caught by others.

Mrs. Chu's hands holding the letter paper trembled, filled with hatred and regret.

She was indeed sloppy and aggressive this time.

She should have figured it out slowly.

With Gu Wu's background, and his entry into the family like that, when she married into the Duke's Mansion, it would be easy for her to take her life. It was really too aggressive to start at the Great Buddha Temple.

Madam Chu took a deep breath, tore the note into pieces, and then called people in.

The person who came in was her confidant, Mother Zhao.

"How many bank notes did you bring with you when you went out this time?" Mrs. Chu asked.

"Thirty thousand taels." Zhao's mother said, and quickly explained, "But now there are only less than [-] taels left." Madam wants to come to the Great Buddha Temple for a short stay, bringing so many people, the cost is quite astonishing .The food and drink of fifty or sixty people, together with the ostentation of the Duke's wife, as well as the incense money for the temple and the rewards for the monks, the daily expenses are not too much.But after five days of hard work, it took five thousand taels to go out.

Mrs. Chu took a deep breath and said, "Give me the ten thousand taels of silver."

"What do you want the cash for, madam?"

"Take it out." Mrs. Chu was in a turmoil, she had no patience to explain, and when she saw Zhao's mother asking questions, she burst out with evil fire.

Mother Zhao knew Madam Zhao's temperament, she was kind and polite in front of others, but she was mean and bitter, hot-tempered and vicious in back.He didn't dare to say any more, so he had to take out his treasured bank notes, all of which were in denominations of one thousand taels, and counted out ten in total.Give it to Mrs. Chu.

"You go down."

Being threatened, Mrs. Chu didn't even dare to speak to her confidant mother, so she had to figure out a way by herself.

She found a beaded rosewood box with embroidered seaweed patterns, put the banknotes in it, and tied the box tightly with thick ribbons.Take another deep breath, call a guard, and hand over this box to the pavilion called "Guanjiang Pavilion" halfway up the mountain.

"Put the box on the stone table in the pavilion, don't delay, leave quickly. Do you understand?" Mrs. Chu urged with a cold face.

The guard nodded, took the box and left.

……

To the west of the Great Buddha Temple, there is a river about ten feet wide. The river is rolling and rushing, shaking the mountains on both sides of the river. There was a famous poet in the previous dynasty who left a popular poem, which made this river very popular among literati. Scholar Qingmi, who usually has nothing to do, likes to gather on the mountainside of the Great Buddha Temple to enjoy the majestic scenery of the rushing river.

The Great Buddha Temple followed suit and built a beautiful pavilion on the mountainside, named "Guanjiang Pavilion".

The guards went all the way down the mountain, carrying a dead wind lantern, and almost ran to Guan Jiangliang.

At this time, on the stone table of Guanjiang Pavilion, a horn lamp was also placed, and the faint light made the surrounding colors into a smoky color.In this silent mountain forest, it looks more and more quiet and mysterious.

An incense stick was also lit on the stone table, more than half of which had been burned by now.

There was no sound around, only Cicada kept chirping.

No matter how daring the guard is, his heart is still pounding.

Although he is only a guard, the Duke's Mansion has carried out eighteen or not twenty corpses over the years.

He knew very well that the more he knew, the faster he would die.

After putting down the box, the man hurried away.

After walking a few steps, he suddenly became dizzy and felt dizzy. The secret path was not good, and he was already a step too late, so he fell headlong to the ground.

The oil lamp on the stone table still exudes a dim and silent light.

When the mountain wind blows, the stick of incense burns faster.

The red sandalwood box with sea-grain pattern lay quietly on the stone table, waiting for someone to pick it up.

After a while, a chubby figure appeared in the pavilion, took the box in his hand, stuffed it into his arms, threw the spices under the cliff, and walked out of the pavilion with the horn lamp.

Near the guest house on the mountain, there are many pine trees planted, and many lanterns are hung on the trees. The red halo radiates from the lanterns. The road under the pine forest is more and more quiet.

Gu Fuyun was slipping away on the pine tree path.

Qinghong followed her dutifully, with a helpless expression on her face, she really didn't understand that the girl came out to slip away at such a late hour.

General Bai walked in front of Gu Fuyun, pacing swaggeringly, making rattling noises from time to time.

Suddenly, General Bai rushed out, squawking towards the dark path.

"General Bai, stop barking." Gu Fuyun called softly.

Sure enough, General Bai didn't bark anymore, because he had already seen the person coming.

A figure came up from a side path.

This road leads to the Guanjiang Pavilion halfway up the mountain, and it is also the only way for the monks in the temple to fetch water.

Qinghong opened her eyes wide, looked at Qingsi in disbelief, and called softly: "Qingsi, what did you do?"

"Girl, it's a good luck not to disgrace your life."
