After exchanging lives, I can't get rid of the binding cp

Chapter 75 "Reconciliation" (4)

The moment the secret door opened, Lou Xiyue heard a whisper from the other side.Obviously, somewhere behind this secret door, someone is secretly talking.

Fu Guan naturally also heard the movement coming from inside, so the two of them looked at each other and moved lightly at the same time without even turning on the lights. After getting used to the darkness, they walked along the secret door to the source of the sound.

Behind this hidden door is a long corridor going down.Go all the way down the closed corridor, and after a while, you can see a hall lit with candles.

The hall was empty.Going further to the right for a while, through a wooden lattice window, I could vaguely see a figure shaking inside.

The voice Lou Xiyue and Fu Guan heard came from this room.

The two were about to eavesdrop, when suddenly there was a sound of footsteps and a middle-aged man's voice from the other side of the hall.

The man approached gradually, and Lou Xiyue and Fu Guan were standing between the corridor between the hall and the wing room, they were too conspicuous.

Lou Xiyue glanced around, only the hanging curtain on the side of the wall can block people.

"there."

The two of them hid behind the curtains before someone approached.

In the small and cramped space, Lou Xiyue and Fu Guan had to stay close together, so close that they could almost hear each other's breathing.

Not only that, she also smelled the faint scent of sandalwood on the man.I don't know if the dark room is already lit with incense, and there is even a clear scent of pine around.

Lou Xiyue inevitably lost his mind.

At this time, the man who came from another place passed directly in front of them. It seemed that he hadn't noticed that there were two voyeurs in the dark at all, and he pushed open the door of the next room and walked in.

It's just a pity that Lou Xiyue and Fu Guan couldn't see the face of the visitor clearly because of the curtain and the dim light.But looking at the figure of the other party, it looks like a rich man who has been pampered for many years.

Lou Xiyue held her breath and waited quietly, after a while, she heard voices coming from the room.

"Master Qiu is really busy with his affairs. It's been a long time coming, but we have been waiting here for you for a long time."

Hearing this, Lou Xiyue was surprised—it was Qiu Zhi? !The person who is going to meet Yan Yun today is actually Qiu Zhi?
Listening to their tone, they are very familiar, as if they have known each other for a long time.

Lou Xiyue changed her mind and thought: Could it be that Qiu Zhi was also involved in the corruption case of the Pingjiang prefect?Or, the assassin at the Flower Moon Banquet is also related to Qiu Zhi?

Qiu Zhi is also the suspected murderer in the case of exterminating the family in Xianyang Villa. Could there be some connection between these few incidents?
Thinking of this, Lou Xiyue raised her head slightly, and happened to see Fu Guan looking towards her.The two looked at each other silently in the dark space, and the meaning expressed in the eyes was self-evident.

Lou Xiyue turned her head away, suppressed the doubts in her heart, and listened carefully to the conversation in the room.

Seeing Qiu Zhi's appearance, Yan Yun did not stand up from the chair to greet him, but leaned back on the chair, and lifted his legs to overlap on the chair opposite the table.

Yan Yun said while peeling the walnuts, without even raising his head: "We have been waiting here for a long time, Mr. Qiu is not in a hurry at all. Look at you with the fragrance of makeup and powder, and you came back from the tea shop again."

As he said that, Yan Yun sneered and said, "What time is it now, and you still have the mind to go shopping in brothels? Do you know that in a few days, the prefect of Pingjiang will be executed? If King Xuanping follows his advice The line will continue to check down, if it is not complete, we will be caught."

He let out a heavy "hum" and said, "At that time, I'll see if you still have the life to visit brothels!"

Qiu Zhi stepped into the room with both feet, seeing that Yan Yun was occupying the chair and not letting him sit, he was not annoyed, he went around and sat down on the reclining chair with his robe lifted up.

He said: "Hey, don't blame me in a hurry. The reason why I came late today is because I have no choice but what you said is right, King Xuanping captured the prefect of Pingjiang, and now he is being highly valued by the Holy One. infinite time.

"Just a few days ago, he had already set his sights on me. Since you know that I have frequently been in and out of tea houses and various brothels recently, you should know that King Xuan Ping is also with me."

Yan Yun said: "Of course I know. If I didn't know, I would still be kept in the dark right now, without knowing that you have already colluded with King Xuan Ping." Speaking of this, he sneered and said:
"What else can I say about this? My subordinates can see clearly how you have been talking and laughing with King Xuan Ping these past few days, and how you have had fun together. You said that you did not take refuge in him, I don't believe it."

Qiu Zhi patted his thigh, and said: "You have misunderstood me. Does it mean that I have taken refuge in him if I walk with him? That's not what I said.

"King Xuan Ping wants to investigate me and catch my mistakes. I can't let him see the clues, so I can only pretend to be false with him. The so-called friendship is just to fool him."

Speaking of this, Qiu Zhi smiled, and said: "Don't be weird with me here. You and I know exactly who sent the assassin who assassinated me in the tea hall. Since you dare Do it, why bother to choke me now and find my fault?

"Besides, if you hadn't sent that assassin to kill me, I wouldn't have been caught by King Xuan Ping and Mr. Jing Zhaoyin Xue in the Xiangming Pavilion. Then there would be no excuse for King Xuan Ping to make friends Come pester me."

Hearing this, Yan Yun's expression changed, and he immediately grabbed the walnut and smashed it heavily on the table: "What do you mean by that? You mean, I sent someone to kill you? Just kidding, you and I are on the same boat Man, why would I kill you?! Let me tell you, you have to be careful when you speak, otherwise I won’t be polite!”

Being so intimidated and threatened, Qiu Zhi didn't panic at all, let alone panic.He said: "Oh? When you were polite, you were already going to do it secretly. If you were rude, what kind of rude method is it? Could it be that you still want to kill me in front of the boss?!"

Yan Yun slapped the table and stood up: "You—"

Before the words were finished, another person in the room suddenly raised his hand to stop him and said, "Hey, Mr. Yan, don't worry. We are here today to discuss future plans together, not to quarrel and fight. You are blowing your beard and staring like this. Yes, how should we proceed with the next negotiation?"

The speaker deliberately made a disguise.His voice sounded very hoarse, like a serious illness.In addition, he wore a blue mask on his face, making it difficult for people to see his appearance clearly.

Yan Yun was stopped by the "big master", and then he endured it and sat back.Then, "Big Master" looked at Qiu Zhi and said:
"The money in the hands of the prefect of Pingjiang was taken away by King Xuanping to fill the national treasury. We don't have enough money in our hands, so Mr. Yan is worried. There is so much disrespect. Please don't take it to heart, Mr. Qiu."
