Rebirth of the scholarly lady

Chapter 203 Missed
Hearing this terrible remark, Huo Huan touched the dagger fiercely, and said in his mouth: "What... who are you? Why did you attack this young general?"

The woman still didn't intend to respond to him, but stretched out her hand, ready to push him into the river who was about to enter a unconscious state.

however……

"Again... eh?" Before the word "see" came out of the woman's mouth, she actually saw an unexpected scene.

"Are you kidding...how could I die so stupidly?" Huo Huan suddenly drew out the dagger and stabbed his thigh hard. "Come on—it's fire! It's flooded! It's flooded! It's fire! It's flooded! Someone! Come on!"

The sudden yell broke the woman's plan, the woman gritted her teeth and ran away, cursing in her heart: This bastard——

Dongliu gritted her teeth, feeling unwilling, but still used her lightness kung fu to quickly leave the scene. She didn't expect this to be the result. She was unwilling, but she remembered that Nan Surou had warned her that Huo Huan must die in an accident and not hurt him The slightest evidence left was that she underestimated this battle-tested man so much that such a consequence happened.

Originally, Nan Surou told her not to act too hastily, but to think long-term, but she really couldn't wait, so she acted on her own...

"Bastard, this is my greatest shame!" Dong Liu secretly said in her heart as she hurriedly escaped.

Day two...

Yin Xuzhui of Jingzhao Mansion was looking at the sky, walked to the closet, changed into casual clothes, Xuzhui wanted to meet Huo Huan on time, and then listen to Huo Huan's so-called "life matters".

Xu Zhui had someone send a letter to his house, informing his family members that he would not go back for dinner because he had business to do in the evening.

He never told the truth to his family. He made the old and young women in his family think that only his meager salary could make them live so decently.

If he hadn't been able to assess the situation over the years, helped some high-ranking officials no less, and received a lot of "thank you gifts", how could he, as a small governor, make the back house moist?

Every time I think of this, Xu Zhui wants to sneer, women are just fools used to vent their desires and give birth to children.

And Huo Huan waited in Zuixianglou early, thinking about everything he had done in recent years. His hierarchical thinking was inherited from his father. Huo Huan lived with his father in the military camp when he was young. Every month, his father would take him through the bustling downtown and introduce him to the stall owners: "This is my second boy."

Those lowly merchants would flatter him with sweet words, and then offer red envelopes full of cash.

At first, Huo Huan thought that those merchants liked him so much that they would give him some gifts when they met him. He was full of pride. However, every time he returned to the camp, his father would take away all the money in his pocket. , Then deposit it in the bank, and give him a tael of silver at most as pocket money.

After that, Huo Huan came to a deep understanding that "giving a gift" was just a good excuse for his father to collect the monthly payment from the merchant.

Huo Huan used to be a good man and a heroic general. He made the uncivilized barbarian army fearful. Refusing to go "shopping" with his father, he always found excuses to go back to the capital, and went to collect money from those owners, and the money he received naturally went into his own pocket, not his father's. The motherland deserves it after shedding its blood.

Because other general's children just use a name to let their subordinates go to work and take credit for themselves, but he is different. He always does what he is responsible for very seriously. He has given the most protection to the people of the whole world, and given Therefore, he believes that the humble human beings living in this "paradise" should express their sincere gratitude to him in various ways, and those who refuse to give gifts are unforgivable.

He even felt that his position was very clean, and it was not out of the ordinary to accept a little money from a lowly businessman, but he never had any objection to such a low salary, the strong had to rely on himself for everything.

To some extent, Xu Zhui and Huo Huan's thoughts are somewhat similar.

It was these two people who came to Zuixiang Tower at the same time and stood opposite each other.

Huo Huan ordered the most frequently used dishes on weekdays, motioned for Xu Zhui to sit down, and said casually, "Xu Zhui, you haven't been promoted yet, have you?"

"..." Xu Zhui was silent, he didn't understand what the villain in front of him who was wearing the skin of a "hero" needed him to do today.

Seeing that Xu Zhui was silent, Huo Huan stopped beating around the bush and said solemnly: "There is something I want you to help, someone is going to assassinate me!"

Hearing the word "assassination", Xu Zhui thumped in his heart. He first thought of the prince, and then vetoed it.

Just for a moment, countless thoughts flashed through Xu Zhui's mind, and then he asked calmly, "What did you say?"

Huo Huan saw that Xu Zhui became serious, so he recounted what happened the night before. Xu Zhui frowned, and sent someone to invite Mr. Tan from Jingzhao Mansion to Zuixiang Building, and his parents went downstairs to meet him. .

None of them thought that this big move would be spotted by someone in Wanbaozhai opposite Zuixianglou.

Nan Surou sat by the window of Tianzi No. [-] room, staring at Zuixiang downstairs, and Xu Zhui led Master Tan into Zuixiang building.

After the failure of Dongliu's operation last night, she did not directly inform Nan Surou, but kept reminding Nan Surou in the morning, saying that Wanbaozhai's account books had not been read yet, and hoped that Nan Surou would not forget.

Nan Surou immediately felt that she was abnormal, so she brought her to Wanbaozhai alone.

After listening to Dongliu's report, she put down her teacup and said, "Dongliu, you acted without authorization, and this happened?"

"Miss, I know I was wrong, please forgive me!" Dong Liu fell to her knees and lowered her head.

"Your target actually went to ask Jing Zhaoyin for help? Although he can do it privately, it is obvious that he prefers to find formal procedures and impose his own combat power." Nan Surou sat on the soft couch, squinting condescendingly Looking at Dongliu, he said, "It's fine if you didn't kill him, but such a bad situation still happened."

Hearing these words, Dong Liu suddenly raised her head, and exclaimed in shock: "Prefect of Jingzhao Mansion? It's that Xu Zhui who is collaborating with treacherous ministers? Miss... what should I do? Huo Huan saw the face of the maidservant .”

Nan Surou didn't answer her, but just looked at her with unchanging eyes, and said lightly: "Reckless revenge will bring me trouble, I think, I have warned you from the beginning."

"But...the servant girl doesn't have that much money..." Dong Liu bowed her head again, her voice getting lower and lower.

"You've been working under me, so it's fine if you can't deduct it from your monthly money? Don't think that I have to clean up the mess you made, and I will help you for free. Bring the contract and sign it." Nan Surou Said coldly.

"Yes." Dong Liu didn't look up, brought the contract scroll that had been prepared for a long time, quickly marked on it, handed it to Nan Surou, and said in a dull voice: "Miss... things have developed to this point, then Huo Huan Already have a vigilant heart, we..."

Nan Surou took the scroll, looked at the content on it, stretched out her hand to touch the handwriting that Dongliu had just signed, without raising her head, said: "What we need is an optimistic idea, there is not only one feasible way, and crises can also become As an opportunity, you ask the shopkeeper to find someone to send a message to the fourth young master, and let the fourth young master come to Wanbaozhai."

"Yes." Dong Liu didn't know what to do with Nan Surou, so she had to retreat in response.

Nan Surou looked at the room with the closed windows in Zuixiang Building opposite, her eyes were full of calculations: Is it Jingzhao Fu Yin?What a great idea.
