The oath of rebirth not to be a concubine

Chapter 35 The Second Wife's Secret
"Go and get it. If you lose, you lose. If your skills are inferior to others, you can't blame others."

As the words fell, a man appeared on the steps on the second floor.

He was wearing a moon-white brocade robe, his hair was half loose and hanging behind his head, and he wore a silver-horned mask covering his entire face.

With his hands behind his back, he walked down the stairs slowly and stood in front of me.

Somehow, I don't like people wearing masks.He cupped his hands and said, "Then thank you, Young Master."

At this time, Saturday and He had already got up from the ground and staggered to the back hall, probably to get the house deed, the man stood not far away, staring at me.

His gaze was indifferent, with a condescending scrutiny. For the first time, I was so dissatisfied with my height that I wished I could stand on a stool and look at him.

"Young master's dice are really good." He said, his voice was still faint.

Maybe it's close, I always feel that this voice is somewhat familiar, but I can't remember where I heard it.I wanted to find some familiarity through his mask, but I saw that he seemed to be pulling the corners of his mouth slightly, and the bright red lips were raised, revealing an indescribable playfulness.

I feel a little uncomfortable. Although this body is only nine years old, Feng Qingluan is not nine years old.This kind of playful smile looks very strange, and it suddenly rises in my heart, as if I was being frivolous.

I frowned slightly, and wanted to turn my head away, but at this time Zhou Huzhua came out from the back hall, handed the deed to the man respectfully in his hand, he raised a long finger, and gave me a few pages of paper, "These are The deed of Jucai Gambling House, from here on out, will be yours."

I took it over and looked it over. In addition to the house deed and the land deed, there is also a voluntary transfer letter. The other party has already signed the name, and it will take effect when I sign it.

"Thank you very much." I rolled up a few pages and stuffed them into my sleeves. After looking around, I realized that there were not many people in the gambling hall that was crowded with people, and the people called by Li Jiu also quietly dispersed. Quite a few, leaving behind twenty or thirty standing far behind, all with cautious faces.

Seeing me looking around, the masked man thought of something, and said, "My lord, the casino is already yours, and the house deed and land deed are also in your hands. Can you allow a few days for Boss Zhou to sort things out?"

I said, "That's natural. If that's the case, don't bother me for now. I will send someone to take over the gambling house in three days. I hope you will keep your promise, so I will leave." After saying that, I turned around and wanted to leave.

"Engong, Qiao Qi, Qiao Qi." Li Jiu quickly reminded in a low voice.

It was only then that I remembered that there was still such a thing, so I turned around and saluted again, "Young master, my brother has a friend who was held in the hands of Boss Zhou. I wonder if it would be convenient for him to pay me back the bet he owed." Debt, I am willing to repay double."

"Oh, is there such a thing?" Saturday He hurriedly stepped forward and whispered, and then he said, "Since this is the case, the young master will take the person away, and you don't need to pay the betting money. Just treat it as the opening of the young young master's new store, and the other person will give it to you." congratulations."

"Since that's the case, thank you very much." I nodded and saluted, and after a while, a few rough men dragged a middle-aged man who was beaten and dying.I was not being polite, and led people out, and Li Jiu led them to a deserted alley.

Li Jiu and others released Qiao Qi, he piled it on the ground, a person handed over the gourd, Li Jiu took a sip, and hit him hard on the face.

After a while, he woke up, stood up and began to kowtow, "Boss Zhou, please forgive me, the younger one will definitely pay back the money, please don't chop off the little fingers, please forgive me, Boss Zhou..."

Li Jiu snorted and said, "You see clearly, this is not a gambling house, it is our son who paid off the gambling debt for you and saved you."

Only then did Qiao Qi stop, raised his bruised nose and swollen face to look around, and found that he was no longer in the backyard of the casino, he suddenly let out a long sigh of relief, and piled on the ground softly.

I walked over and asked him condescendingly, "Are you the Qiao Qi who guards the gate of Yulin Courtyard?"

He hurriedly clung to the ground and kowtowed to me, "The younger one is Qiao Qi, thank you for saving me, young master, thank you very much, young master."

I nodded and asked, "I heard that Boss Zhou of Jucai Gambling Shop wanted to chop off one of your fingers to pay off the gambling debt?"

Qiao Qi immediately nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, "Young master is very true, the youngest only owes 300 taels, and he actually wanted to chop off the little little finger. Thanks to the young master's rescue, Qiao Qi escaped the catastrophe. Young master, you are really benevolent and righteous, and your righteousness is beyond the sky, thank you son, thank you son..." After finishing speaking, he kowtowed again and again.

Righteous spirit?Daren and righteousness?There is a way to praise people.

I nodded and said to Li Jiu, "Go and cripple one of his hands."

"Yes." Li Jiu stepped forward and grabbed Qiao Qi's arms.

"No, son!" Qiao Qi screamed, kicking her legs hard to break free.Li Jiu ordered the two of them to hold him down, and picked up a piece of wood that was as thick as a forearm. After gesticulating twice, he felt that he couldn't use his strength. Then he picked up a wooden stick that was as thick as a calf to gesticulate.Take a horse step with your feet, take a deep breath, and if you have enough energy, it will be a stick.

"Don't! Aha, don't!" Qiao Qi closed her eyes and wailed.

"What are you shouting, I haven't knocked yet." Li Jiu raised the stick again with a look of contempt.Qiao Qi immediately howled, "Young master, spare your life! Please spare your life! What do you want Qiao Qi to do? Qiao Qi will go through fire and water, please forgive me, young master!"

I made a wink and asked Li Jiu to stop first, and walked over to ask, "You said you could go up the mountain of swords and down the sea of ​​fire for me, no matter what, I don't leave useless people around me, just tell me, what's so special about you?"

"This..." He choked up, and after thinking for a long time, he still couldn't come up with a word.

Understood!
As soon as I waved my hand, Li Jiu immediately spit, raised the stick and knocked...

"No, wait, wait!" Qiao Qi shouted urgently, "Secret, I know a lot of secrets that others don't know, you must be interested!"

I became a little interested and asked him, "Then tell me, what's the secret? If you say it well, I will keep this arm for you. If you say it is not good..." I pulled my face, "Then your leg will also be taken away. Knock off!"

Qiao Qi took a deep breath, saw the big and small bags of food in Lu Zhu's hand, and said slowly, "Although the Chengbei Sauce Duck Restaurant has a century-old brand, it uses sick and dead ducks.

The honey from the third store on West Street is mixed with cane sugar.The stinky tofu in Tongji, North Street is put in a hut to stink. There is a medicine shop in front of it. The doctor sitting in the hall used to be a pig butcher. Although he has a beard, I can still recognize him at a glance! "

He always said a lot, and I nodded after listening, "What you said is indeed a secret. However, I don't like to hear these, I like to hear some explosive lace. But it seems that you don't know anything, your arm, Then don't stay."

Without waiting for my signal, Li Jiu quickly picked up the stick again, and hurried home to eat after knocking!
"Yes, yes, yes! There are explosive ones!" Qiao Qi was sweating profusely, gritted his teeth, and finally said, "The little one knows a lot of amazing secrets, but please don't tell me that I leaked the news after I finish speaking." , otherwise, the small nine lives are not enough to die!"

I sneered in my heart, but there was no expression on my face, and motioned him to speak quickly.

He moved closer, and said in a low voice, "I'm the gatekeeper of the Yulin Courtyard, and I see many nobles every day. Although the third son of the Jingdaotai family is married, he is a Longyang lover. The fighting is very hot, and there are many wives from noble families who occasionally come to sit and sit, and the most distinguished among them is the second wife Su from General Su Huo's residence."

Hey, just wait for him to say this!
Qiao Qi continued, "Second Mrs. Su is very close to Mr. Yuliang in the courtyard. She used to come here every five or eight days. They set a time first, and the younger one is responsible for going to the Yinhong Building next door to clean the backyard. The back door of the door is opened, leading Madam Su out of the Yinhong Building, and going to the other courtyard of Yulin Court along the path. Finally, I will send Madam Su to leave by another road."

It's really the three caves of the cunning rabbit, and they are not in the Yulin courtyard.

"How long have they known each other?"

Qiao Qi said, "The younger one has been in Yulin Academy for two years, but judging by the time, it may be longer than this."

More than two years is really long enough.I don't know how Su Hong, who has always been fond of Dow, knows that he has been a green hat for so long, how would he feel?

I opened the folding fan with a swish, fanned it twice and asked, "Do you know how the two of them got in touch?"

This time, Qiao Qi said, "This little one really doesn't know. The little one is just a gatekeeper, and that's all he knows. The regulations of Yulin Court are very strict, and he is not allowed to spread information about guests at will. The little one is doing what he is doing today, which is already a crime against the big one." Ji, if the stewards in the courtyard find out, of course you won’t be able to survive. I beg you, please spare the little one.”

After speaking, he kept knocking his head on the ground.

Judging by his appearance, he didn't seem to be lying, so I didn't ask any more questions, and signaled Li Jiu to let go of him. He knelt on the ground quickly, as if waiting for me to explain.

Although it was expected, it was a different feeling to hear it with my own ears.This Dow is really brave, Su Hong has always doted on her, yet he did such an outrageous thing.

Thinking of the desperate assassination that day, my eyes moved slightly, "Qiao Qi, Mr. Yuliang, is there any place he likes to go on weekdays? For example, which tea shop does he prefer, or what kind of clothing is his favorite?"

Qiao Qi thought for a while, then shook his head, "Young Master Yuliang is very indifferent, he doesn't pay much attention to food and clothing, besides, the Yulin Pavilion has the best of those things, so he doesn't need to worry about it. If you talk about places you like to go... ..." He hesitated for a moment, and said, "Master, I will go to Qing'an Temple in the north of the city every few days to offer money for sesame oil."

Qing'an Temple, why is it so familiar...

Right, I remembered.

Didn't the third wife always go to Qing'an Temple to hang incense?I heard by accident before that she likes the lotus pond behind the temple the most. If there is a chance, she would like to ask the master to enjoy the lotus with her...

I smiled slightly, and suddenly had an idea, lightly shook the folding fan a few times, and said, "Qiao Qi, I want you to do something, if you do it, I won't bother you anymore, and I will reward you with a hundred taels of silver, how about it? "
