Liangyue Farm Gate

Chapter 697 Uneasy
Not only Guan Wen was so suspicious, but Li Xin also thought so.Otherwise, how could they, small people like Shengdou, attract the attention of the government?Fortunately, Jiang Han said that it was because they were old acquaintances, but they had no contact with Mr. Chunyu before.

The couple murmured all night, but the next day they still had to arrange everything in the house and wait for the Lord Chunyu to come.

After lunch, Master Chunyu really came.This time he was not with anyone else, not even Jiang Han, and only brought two personal guards to the closed house.

Guan Ming was not brought back.

Li Xin and Guan Wen looked at each other the same way, Guan Wen refreshed himself, went up to greet Chunyu, and asked him to come in and talk.Chunyu was not pretentious, nodded and followed Guan Wen into the hall, sat down in the first seat unceremoniously, looked at Guan Wen and said, "You are Guan Wen, right?"

Seeing that Guan Wen nodded yes, Chunyu explained again: "Your father said that he rarely went out to relax, saying that he didn't want to come back at this time."

Guan Wen was annoyed in his heart, but he couldn't say anything in front of Chunyu, so he could only nod his head and said, "Thank you, Mr. Chunyu."

Chunyu waved his hands, and instead of being polite to Guan Wen, he directly asked Guan Wen about the three treasures.

Guan Wen was also unambiguous, he knew very little about these three treasures himself: "...Grandpa fell ill immediately when he saw something missing, and passed away after a short delay. To tell you the truth, my lord I've never seen those three things before, I only heard about their shape and color from my grandfather, but I can't figure out what they are."

Chunyu stared at Guan Wen and asked again: "Then do you know where these three things come from? Did your grandfather tell you?"

Guan Wen nodded and said, "Xiaomin's grandfather and grandma are from the north. They used to be bandits. The things should have been robbed from a wealthy family."

Chunyu lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then asked: "Is there anyone else who knows about this?"

Guan Wen shook his head: "Xiaomin has only heard about those three things from Grandpa, and he has never even seen them. Grandpa is very good at keeping things secret. He planned to give them to Xiaomin, but he didn't see them later. Xiaomin has never seen these three things before."

Chunyu looked at Guan Wen fixedly, as if to verify the truth of his words.Guan Wen looked back frankly.

He's telling the truth.

Chunyu looked away, and said calmly, "Your father doesn't know what to do, and your younger brother doesn't know where to go. Guan Wen, you said that I want to investigate this matter, how should I investigate?"

When Chunyu came here, even though he had a lot of authority, he still called himself "I".Now it has suddenly become "the official", which means that Guan Wen and Li Xin are naturally clear.

Guan Wen stabilized his body and said: "Your Excellency, it is true that these three treasures, Xiaomin, know very little."

Chunyu put the teacup aside, thought for a while, and said, "I'll send your father back tonight, and you can ask him carefully." Chunyu paused, and his voice became more severe: "Remember, don't try to hide anything , otherwise no one can protect you."

Chunyu shook his sleeves and stood up: "I'll give you three days."

Guan Wen asked Guanshi Cao to send Chunyu away, and when he was gone, Li Xin couldn't help breathing and became disordered.

The Guan family... something has happened.

"Ah Wen..." Li Xin's voice was a little hoarse: "What the hell is going on..."

With a serious expression on his face, Guan Wen shook his head and said, "It seems that there is indeed something wrong with those three treasures... But we really don't know anything, so let's ask, what can we find out." After a pause, Guan Wen said : "I'll ask Dad when he comes back. I haven't asked him about this before, but I'm afraid I'll have to figure it out completely this time..."

Li Xin said tentatively: "Listening to their tone, what they want to understand is these two points. One is who your father and Guan Zhicheng have contacted in the future, and the other is the whereabouts of the said baby... From this point of view , maybe it was because they committed something with those three treasures that they were targeted by the government..."

"What the hell is that!"

Guan Wen was also a little annoyed: "I don't even know if it's a good thing or a bad thing if I can't even call it a name. Why did people find it like this..."

Li Xin moved his mouth slightly, wanted to say something but couldn't say anything, and was speechless for a moment.

While they were silent, Guanshi Cao came in to report, and specifically mentioned a detail: "When the adult passed by the small garden, he happened to bump into Aunt Cui taking Muchun for a walk. The adult looked at Aunt Cui for a while, and muttered, 'It's really like that. ’, the little one doesn’t know what the grown-up meant…”

Guan Wen frowned, waved his hands and said, "Go down."

Li Xin's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly remembered the scene when Chunyu and others visited Aunt Cui for the first time the day before yesterday, and said in a low voice, "Listening to the accent, that Lord Chunyu should be from the capital."

Guan Wen nodded, and Li Xin felt even more uneasy: "Awen, do you still remember that the Cui family went to Beijing because the young master of the Cui family was valued by the nobles in Beijing? That's right... It's unknown if she is a colleague of Mr. Chunyu... Perhaps Aunt Cui looks very similar to her elder brother..."

Guan Wen suddenly understood, and looked at Li Xin in disbelief: "Can there be such a coincidence in the world?"

Li Xin smiled wryly: "I guess the same way, it's not impossible..."

Guan Wen pondered for a while, then said: "Wait for Dad to come back first."

Guan Ming was sent back in the evening, and he was full of joy. After two days of what he thought was a free life, his speech was raised twice.

Guan Wen looked at him with a frown, and without being polite to him, he asked directly, "What did Lord Chunyu ask you to ask you?"

Guan Ming shook his head and said, "Just ask about the thing your grandfather left behind, and I'll tell you that I don't know, and he can't do anything to me."

Guan Wen slapped the table: "Did you and Guan Zhicheng take that thing?"

Guan Ming's expression flickered, and Guan Wen was not afraid to scare him, so he said directly: "You'd better tell me everything you know, otherwise, if you want to die, don't take our whole family to be buried with you!"

Guan Ming was terrified immediately, and stammered, "What, what's going on... Why does it involve being buried with you..."

Guan Wen rubbed his forehead, and said patiently: "The senior official came down from the top to check the three treasures left by grandpa. Do you think this is a small matter? If you are not careful, you will have to move your head! The things must have been stolen. You took it, what did you do with it?"

Guan Ming was a little panicked, but still pouted and refused to speak.

Li Xin rubbed his stomach and said with a heavy face: "Father doesn't cry when he sees the coffin. You really have to wait until our family goes to the execution ground to open your mouth? Just to keep this seedling?"

Guan Ming spat on the ground and said, "Damn, why are you a woman interrupting what a man is talking about!"

Guan Wen was furious. Without even thinking about it, he picked up the teacup and smashed it on the ground in front of Guan Ming. There was a crisp "pop", and Guan Wen was sullen: "You know who is in charge of this family! My wife is in charge." If you eat and drink, you still have to give her face, if you really don't want to live without worry, just say it, I will kick you out immediately, who will care if you live or die!"

Guan Wen's voice was so loud that it seemed to shake the beams of the house.

Guan Ming didn't dare to yell anymore, let alone cry, for fear that Guan Wen would rush over and tear him apart in the next moment.The whole person huddled into a ball and looked at Guan Wen cautiously.

"Tell me! How did you deal with those three things!"

Guan Ming licked his lips, muttered a few words in a low voice, and Guan Wen shouted, "Speak up!"

Guan Ming wept bitterly: "I don't know what it is, I thought it was useless, I let Zhicheng fiddle with it... I don't know what he fiddled with later, I didn't ask, and I don't know that those things were banned. Cheng Zha has dealt with it... I have something to eat and drink and I can go to the casino to play a few games, I am happy, I don't care so much..."

Guan Wen's face was livid: "Is it that simple?"

Guan Ming nodded hurriedly.

Guan Wen asked again: "Then there is nothing unspeakable, why didn't you say it!"

Guan Ming suddenly looked distressed: "Your sixth brother won't let you talk about it. If you talk about it, all the glory and wealth will be gone..."

Li Xin snorted softly: "Didn't the former glory and wealth disappear?"

Guan Ming wanted to scold her again, Guan Wen asked, "Did Guan Zhicheng sell something to someone else?"

Guan Ming shook his head: "I don't know."

Ask again but can't ask anything.

Guan Ming waved his hand wearily, telling Guan Ming to go back to the side courtyard, and told Guanshi Cao to let people take care of him.

Guan Wen thought for a while and said, "I'll go to Xue's residence."

"Xuefu?"

Li Xin was surprised and a little panicked.Guan Wen nodded and said: "I didn't come back yesterday because I got a letter from Mr. Xue. I want to ask him face to face about the seriousness of this matter... Maybe Mr. Xue knows something."

Li Xin fell silent.Guan Wen came over and put his arms around her: "Master Xue is not someone who takes advantage of others' dangers, the most we owe him is another favor... We don't agree with Youyou's marriage, and the Xue family will not really force it. Don't worry, ah."

Li Xin smiled bitterly.

God knows she wasn't thinking about that at all.

Guan Wen rushed to Xue's residence in a hurry, and it was only the top of willows on the moon at this time, Guan Wen went in a hurry, and he could still come back before the curfew after asking questions.

But for some reason, Li Xin always felt that her heart was beating extremely fast, beating much faster than usual, and she couldn't help feeling panic and fear in her heart, as if there was a flood ahead, forcing her Almost out of breath.

Guozi took Youyou down to rest. Seeing that Li Xin was restless, Qingya poured water to hold her and said, "Ma'am, the master will be back in a while, Madam, let's drink some water to warm your stomach. It's cold at night. It’s not good to be frozen.”

Li Xin reached out to pick it up, but who knew that the teacup was in her palm, but she accidentally threw the teacup on the ground, and the sound of the teacup shattering immediately shocked her.

Qing Ya hurriedly shouted "Sui Sui is safe", while going out to ask the little maid to come in to clean up, she covered Li Xin's hand with a handkerchief and said, "Madam, is there any burns?"

Li Xin shook his head, looked at his hands which were white but not very delicate, and said in a hoarse voice: "Qingya, I always feel like something bad happened..."

As soon as the words fell, a servant girl shouted outside the door: "Master is back!"

Li Xin stood up to meet him, her pace was much more urgent than usual, but before she got close to the door, the curtain was lifted, and Guan Wen's face was hidden in the darkness of the backlight. She couldn't see clearly, but felt that he The breathing often comes heavier and heavier every day.

Her heartbeat broke with a "click".
