I really don't want to take shortcuts anymore

Chapter 368 Please save the young master’s life

Luo Qianhuai and Xingxuan watched helplessly as they walked to the Qingming Canal that penetrated the square. They opened the bag and pulled out an unconscious man.

The man who scouted the road earlier took off his shoes, put them on his own feet, and walked to the ditch side by side with another man and stood there. Then the other person walked back by himself, while the explorer stood in the same place, took off his shoes, took a deep breath, jumped up, and landed on the cloth bag spread on the ground ten steps away.

Next, they put the shoes back on the unconscious man's feet. Several people lifted the man up and swung him up, throwing him far into the ditch. The position happened to be adjacent to where the two men left their footprints. .

If this wasn't a deliberate attempt to murder and frame others, neither Luo Qianhuai nor Xingxuan would believe it at all.

When such a large human body was thrown into the water, the sound was naturally loud, and it quickly attracted the attention of the sergeant who was patrolling the shop.

The six men moved very fast and were very familiar with the surrounding terrain, and they instantly dispersed into the night like ground rats.

The sergeants were completely separated from them. When they arrived at the place where the man was thrown, they simply inspected the spot for a short while, then accurately determined the location and began to salvage the man who fell into the water.

Professional matters should be left to professionals. Neither Xingxuan nor Luo Qianhuai meant to help pursue the murderer. If they are caught violating the curfew at night, they will be detained or punished. They are not saints and do not want to get involved.

Because something happened, more and more soldiers came in this direction. Luo Qianhuai didn't dare to stay any longer. Fortunately, Xingxuan had recovered some strength and led Luo Qianhuai to gain strength and cross the ridge of the house. He successfully entered the East Market and entered the Yaoxing Tower from the backyard.

The guy who was guarding the backyard had gone to Shiyu Mountain to participate in the rescue operation, so he knew Luo Qianhuai. Upon seeing him, he quickly led the person to a deserted courtyard, and then went to invite He Qing.

He Qing arrived quickly. Hearing that Luo Qianhuai said he would stay here for a few days, he didn't hesitate at all. He immediately arranged for people to wait on him, and also sent people to deliver a variety of light side dishes, fruit snacks, and a change of clothes.

Luo Qianhuai took a comfortable bath, put on lake silk pajamas, and slept until dawn under the soft and silky bedding.

The breakfast at Yaoxing Tower was very sumptuous. Luo Qianhuai was holding the thin and transparent skin of the crab roe soup dumpling, biting it open and sucking the delicious soup inside, when He Qing came in to see him.

"Shopkeeper He came just in time." Luo Qianhuai took the silk handkerchief handed over by Xingxuan and gently wiped the corners of his mouth: "Please send someone to Cui Mansion to deliver a message to Madam, saying that there is no need to go to Jing's house to pick her up today. Me, I will go there on my own when I have time."

"Yes." He Qing agreed and immediately ordered people to do it, but he himself came back and stood aside watching Luo Qianhuai eat, as if he was hesitant to speak.

With people looking at him like this, how could Luo Qianhuai eat anything?

"Shopkeeper He, does he have anything else to do?" she asked.

"How satisfied was Madam Jing's stay last night?" He Qing looked around and asked him: "This yard is indeed a bit small and not worthy of Madam Jing. In addition, there is a larger one that will not be poured out until tomorrow. I'll let people tidy it up, and then I'll invite you to move in."

"It's very good here." Luo Qianhuai smiled and said, "I'm very satisfied. By the way, Shopkeeper He Da should call me Mrs. Luo from now on."

Cutting off the relationship with Jing Yuan was her private matter. Luo Qianhuai didn't want to mention it, and He Qing wisely didn't ask any more. He continued to stay in the room, and even took a bowl of chicken wontons newly served by the waiter, and personally brought it to her.

Luo Qianhuai gently pinched the jade-colored soup, turned his eyes twice on his face, and asked: "If there is something wrong with Shopkeeper He Da, just tell me."

He Qing raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead and said with a smile: "Madam Luo, you are joking. I just want to serve you with all my heart. What's the matter?"

The more he said this, the more certain Luo Qianhuai became. He must have encountered some difficulty, and it was probably related to Mr. Mo.

"But the young master met me." As soon as she said these words, He Qing jumped up like a koala with its tail burned off, and quickly denied: "Young man didn't say anything!"

This means there are three hundred taels of silver left in this place. To be fair, Luo Qianhuai no longer wanted to interfere with Mr. Mo's affairs. However, He Qing had always been respectful to him, and it seemed a bit too cold-blooded to say that he didn't even ask. "I guessed it myself. You don't have to worry about it. Just tell me." She said.

He Qing was still hesitating, with a very troubled expression on his face, when suddenly someone strode in from outside the door.

The visitor's face was extremely ugly, and he knelt down as soon as he saw Luo Qianhuai.

"Wei Cang, what are you doing?" Luo Qianhuai asked in shock.

"Please, Mrs. Luo, for the sake of past love, please save the young master's life!" Wei Cang said in surprise.

"Get up!" Luo Qianhuai frowned and stretched out his arms to help him up, but Wei Cang's knees seemed to be nailed to the ground and he didn't move at all.

It seems that the problem is very serious, maybe even worse than the last time he was kidnapped by Lord Yong'an.

"What happened to the young master?" she asked.

"The young master was locked up and taken to Tingwei's Mansion last night." Wei Cang said, "The charge is to kill Dinghou Gaoyang."

Luo Qianhuai remembered Gao Yang, the kind of guy who molested women on the street. He had done a lot of evil things before he came here, and it was not a pity to die.

"If the master really wants to kill someone, why bother to do it himself? There will be no trace left." Luo Qianhuai said.

"Madam Luo is right." Wei Cang sighed: "Young Master had a bet with Marquis Ding last night, but he left after winning. Unexpectedly, Gao Yang died after returning, but Young Master was regarded as a suspect."

Luo Qianhuai suddenly remembered the scene he and Xingxuan saw last night.

"How did Gao Yang die?" she asked.

"Death by drowning."

"Where is the location?" Luo Qianhuai asked eagerly.

"Qingming Canal in Chongrenfang."

It's really such a coincidence. What the six-person group did last night turned out to be to deal with Mr. Mo.

Luo Qianhuai looked up at Xingxuan and saw that she also understood, her eye circles were visibly red: "Big lady"

"Now is not the time to be sad." Luo Qianhuai patted her and said, "They are trying their best. Even if we stopped them at that time, we might not be able to prevent the young master from suffering."

Seeing that Wei Cang and He Qing were confused, Luo Qianhuai explained what he saw last night.

Wei Cang was so angry that he punched the ground with his fist, directly punching through the thick and solid beech wood floor.

"Madam, do you remember the appearance of those thieves?" He said bitterly: "Even if I search all over Xijing, I will definitely find these six little thieves!"

"This matter is not urgent." Luo Qianhuai said: "Tell me first, why did the Tingwei Mansion directly point the finger at the young master, but someone reported it? What evidence does the other party have?"
