Tangled

Chapter 95 The Reason
He went to the window and looked around, but there was still no one, and he was so anxious that he wanted to cry out.

When he was about to look through the window, the door was pushed open, he heard the sound and looked, and the two who followed him just now came in Shi Shiran through the door.

It was agreed to be a gentleman on the beam, and they would come in through the window honestly, but they were fine, as if they were guests.

If I knew they were this kind of people, I shouldn't have rushed in just now.

"Who are you guys, and why did you break into my manor at night?"

Seeing that there were two more people, Master Zhu couldn't sit still any longer, he stood up and glared at them, with his hands on the table, as if he was going to slap the table and call for someone at any time.

"Masters, don't be nervous. We are not the kind of people who are vicious and evil. We are just curious. How could the masters send away their relatives and disperse all their wealth when the country is safe and peaceful?"

"I heard that the ancestors of the various families have grown up here for generations. What the masters have done this time really makes us curious."

After they came in, they didn't make any dangerous moves. The masters looked carefully, and when they met Gu Tingshu's eyes, they flinched and quickly lowered their heads.

The two of them have extraordinary bearing, the young man with the long sword pinned to his waist is imposing, and there is a faint evil spirit overflowing from his brows, presumably he has seen blood before.

I am defenseless, if they don't want to do something to me, I have no power to fight back.

The madam is still in the courtyard, if I call someone to come, I will definitely alarm the madam, if it is really dangerous, then I must not let the madam come.

"Several please sit down."

"If you want to come, you won't drink the tea in my house, so please feel free to do as you please."

"Everyone in my house can take the money. I will never snort if I beat or kill them. I just hope that everyone in the house can be spared."

Seeing that he had misunderstood, Mu Chengze was not in a hurry. Seeing that Gu Tingshu and Shen Qiqi had both sat down, he fanned himself and sat down opposite Master Zhu.

"Don't be afraid, masters. I've already said that we are not villains. We came here this time just to see if there is anything we can do to help."

Although his words were sincere, the masters still dare not completely let go of their vigilance. Ever since the governor of Qingzhou became interested in his daughter, he has been restless.

Mu Chengze was also unreliable, he just played his fan leisurely, tapped on the table with one hand, and waited for Master Zhu to speak first.

The four of them just sat there for a long time without any intention of opening their mouths. The atmosphere was so weird that it made people feel a little breathless.

He didn't have a good rest at first, and was woken up again in the middle of sleep. At this time, the room was too quiet, and the drowsiness and drowsiness struck again.

She raised her hand to cover her face, and secretly yawned, her eyelids couldn't hold it anymore.

"Brother, he doesn't need to help, so let's go back."

Noticing her small movements, Gu Tingshu stood up and motioned to leave.

They didn't ask for money, and they didn't put forward any conditions. It seemed that they were really here to help.

Struggling in their hearts, when they stood up and were about to speak out, Master Zhu finally made up his mind to stop them.

"Wait a minute, if you don't mind, sit down and have a cup of hot tea."

Just now he didn't even give him a cup of cold tea, but now he was going to get someone to help him, but he bought hot tea instead.

Mu Chengze turned around and sat back slowly.

"Masters, just say what you have. The three of us are quite capable. If we can help, we will definitely not refuse."

Hearing this, the masters sighed, "No matter how capable you are, you are still knights in the rivers and lakes. How can you beat the officials."

"If you want to hear it, then I will talk to you."

"My Zhu family and that Qingzhou governor are close relatives. Twenty years ago, Shao's governor found me in the name of visiting relatives and asked me to hide some silver for him."

"I didn't want to, but I'm just a businessman. How long can I be tough? Seeing that I shouldn't, he threatened my family."

"I can't help it. I can only accept this matter. I thought it would be fine for my family to help him do some shady business, but I don't always think that he is such a beast."

"Half a month ago, he didn't know who told me that my daughter was born beautiful, and he insisted on taking my daughter as a concubine regardless of my years of working for him."

"My daughter is only sixteen this year, but he is over sixty. How can this happen? We didn't want to, so he got my son arrested."

"I have no other choice but to accept this matter. After a lot of talking, Shaofu Yin released my son and sent his sister to marry him."

Speaking of this, Master Zhu heaved a long sigh, if there was no other way, how could he leave his hometown.

"So you resorted to bandit tricks and sent your daughter away?"

The masters took a deep look at them and nodded heavily.

"Seeing my attitude, Shaofu Yin knew that I was dissatisfied, so he ordered me to transport the money he hid here to other places within ten days. He deceived my daughter, how could I let him do what he wanted? , so I thought about exchanging all his silver bills for bank notes, and then let his family take them away."

He distributed the remaining ones that could not be replaced, but even so, there were still several large boxes of silver taels.

"In this way, the governor of Qingzhou has been doing evil for more than 20 years. Why didn't you go to report to the officials for so many years?"

He is a businessman, the government will naturally not detain his guide, over the years, there should be many times to report to the government.

"Why didn't I report it, but he is the governor of Qingzhou, and there are noble people in the palace, how can ordinary officials dare to offend him."

Are there relatives with someone in the palace?

Shen Qiqi looked at Mu Chengze, and seeing that he didn't know, she turned to the masters and asked, "Which nobleman in the palace is related to the governor of Qingzhou?"

Even the crown prince didn't know about it, which is strange.

"I heard that he is the concubine's cousin, but I don't know which concubine it is."

Although there are still five or six concubines who are still alive, they all live in the Buddhist hall and don't care about world affairs. How could they be covered up by Qingzhou governor for decades?
"Is what you said true?"

Master Zhu looked at Mu Chengze's red palm from the fan, and at his flaming eyes. Although he didn't understand why he was so furious, he still nodded.

"Everything Zhu said is true. If you don't believe it, you can go and find out by yourself."

This is not a secret thing, in order to let people know that someone is covering them, these young governors often tell people about it.

To him, the identity of being a cousin of the concubine is like a gold medal for avoiding death. Anyone who listens to it will give him a little bit of favor.

The people above ignored him, and the people below dared not offend him. Over the years, he has done a lot of evil.

"Master Zhu, if you send your daughter away, aren't you afraid that the governor of Qingzhou will blame you?"

Master Zhu looked at the flickering candles and said softly, "Of course I'm afraid."
