The Red Mansion is so charming

Chapter 155 A Vicious Move Is Better Than One Move

The bald monk heard a few whispers from Xiuyan, his face suddenly changed, and he waved his hands back again and again: "Monks don't lie, the female Bodhisattva is clearly asking the poor monk to deceive people outside, this, this"

Xiuyan smiled and said: "Master, you are serious. I just ask you to delay those people. The master can almost hear it clearly. It is those people who have bad intentions first. I am a woman. If I fall into them on the way back to Beijing In my hands, there will only be more bad luck and less good. The master will show mercy and save my life, first trap those people in the monastery, and after I leave, it will not be too late to find an excuse to let them out."

The bald monk closed his eyes and remained silent, as if he was trying to figure out how feasible Xing Xiuyan's words were.

"Master saved me, and he also saved those people. Wouldn't it be another addition to the merit book in the future?" Xiuyan persevered, persuading: "You also saw that the one who came with the little girl My son's temper is not as gentle as mine. If there is any big trouble in this temple, he will pat his sleeves and leave without care. How will he leave the master to explain to the abbot? But it was destroyed once, wouldn't Master feel regretful?"

The bald monk frowned in pain, and the word "Chuan" fell deeply on his forehead: "There is no need to talk about the female Bodhisattva, the poor monk will follow your heart."

Xiuyan waited for the bald-headed monk to go out, and hurriedly told Song Chen's two confidantes: "Go and invite Qianhu back." Those two were Song Chen's capable officers, and they knew the importance of Miss Xing's family, so they dared to leave so easily. , the two looked at each other, and there was hesitation in their actions.

Xiuyan stomped her feet, turned her head and told the housekeeper, "Please come to Qianhu quickly."

Of course, the butler only listened to Xing Xiuyan's words, and ran out before walking to the entrance of the main hall. He saw Song Chen and his subordinates had returned the same way from a distance, and hurriedly reported inside: "Girl, Lord Qianhu is back."

Song Chen took a few steps: "I caught four of them, and one escaped."

"Can you find out anything?"

Song Chen sneered and clapped his hands. Behind him, a school captain came out with a hostage tied up. The man was dressed in coarse cloth and dressed like a family general. He was restrained but still had a look of disdain on his face.

"The servants of the Ouyang family said they saw the Xing family's carriage coming out, so they stayed behind, fearing that your family would have a private meeting with the Fifth Prince." Song Chen raised his foot and kicked the man's Taiyi and Tianshu acupoints In the middle, the fellow in pain wailed endlessly, but unfortunately with the cotton ball stuffed in his mouth, he could only whine.

"I handed over a few Broken Blades from a few of them, all of which were highly poisonous, and I presumably followed you behind, specifically to harm you."

The servant of the Ouyang family couldn't speak, but his ears were not deaf. Hearing what Song Chen said, the seven or eight guards of the Xing family stared at him more and more. The voice seemed to have something to say to Xing Xiuyan.

Xiuyan nodded to the housekeeper, and the housekeeper removed the cloth balls in the population neatly.

"Miss Xing, please forgive me. I'm just a young man, but I will obey the second master's orders. We have no choice but to obey. The one who ran away just now is the brother of the second master's concubine, and he has the most trust of the second master. What instruction did the Second Master give before he left the house, but he only told him, we didn’t know half of the truth! Miss Xing is a bodhisattva, for the sake of Guanshiyin, she spared my life.”

Xiuyan took out her handkerchief, and asked Song Chen for the poisonous dagger to wrap it around, squatting in front of Ouyang's servants with a smile on her face, the shining tip of the knife was daubed with dark green, which was particularly eye-catching.The servant's eyes moved with the dagger from side to side, tremblingly said: "Miss Xing, I've said everything I should say, you, you can't just keep your word!"

Xiuyan sneered: "I'll ask you again, are you here specially to kill me?"

The other party's head shook like a rattle drum: "The second master just told us to chop up Miss Xing's horse, so that you can't go back to Beijing today. You would never dare to do something that would kill the girl."

Xiuyan hurriedly looked at Song Chen, and Song Chen was also shocked. He pointed his sword at the servant of Ouyang's family: "Why didn't you say a word earlier?"

The man was so frightened that his feet softened: "This master didn't ask just now, I, I didn't hide it honestly! Master and Miss Xing learned that we are really just trying to get rid of other distractions. Have."

Xiuyan yelled in her heart: "Father told us yesterday that today he will follow the Ordnance Station to Kaoshi Mountain to get samples of refined iron, and it will take at least two days to come back. I'll figure it out." When the time is up, you can return to the city from Dayuan Temple at noon, and you will arrive at the capital in the afternoon. Will the Ouyang family treat my mother?"

Xiuyan looked at Song Chen in a panic, and Song Chen said in a deep voice, "I will protect you back to Beijing."

"What if someone sees it?"

"I don't care about that. If it's true according to what you said, the purpose of Ouyang's family is not on you, it must be on Madam. I will be serious when I return to Beijing as soon as possible." Song Chen turned his head and explained to the two guards: "In the future To the court, these bastards are all evidence, you two should be carefully guarded in Dayuan Temple, and I will call the Zhen Fusi to come and pick him up in the afternoon at the latest."

The two guards hurriedly said: "My lord, but you are leaving at noon, and my two brothers were appointed by the emperor to serve you."

"There are priorities, the two of you just take good care of your life, and you will have time to chase me on the official road tomorrow morning."

The two guards looked at each other and smiled wryly, Lord Qianhu had spoken, what else could they do?
Xiuyan had already noticed the reluctance of those two people, and listened more carefully to what they said.The person appointed by Xiaozong himself must not be an ordinary school captain, he must have a lot of background, why should I have trouble with him?
Xiuyan hurriedly said: "It's better to hand over the person to the abbot of Dayuan Temple and explain the stakes, the abbot will not be unreasonable."

"Amitabha, the female benefactor thinks highly of this temple, this old monk will definitely do her best."

The abbot of Dayuan Temple wore a red cassock, followed by the bald monk and a strange monk with a scarlet head, and the three came hand in hand.

Song Chen swept away the solemnity just now, and after seeing the master abbot, he slowly bowed back: "I haven't seen the master for a long time, but this time I have to trouble the master again."

The abbot smiled: "Mr. Song, why be polite, those few people will be handed over to the poor monk, and the juniors from the monk's hall will guard them personally, so there will be no trouble if you think about it."

The bald monk hurriedly said: "Girl, does what you said to the poor monk just now count?"

Under the hood, Xiuyan's smile is touching, but it's a pity that outsiders can only vaguely see it. This kind of unreality brings a bit of mysterious beauty. "The master invited the abbot, and the little girl is naturally willing to fulfill her promise. In the morning, the Xing family's chariots and horses will come to pick up the child. I hope the master will help take care of everything."

The bald monk suddenly realized two important things in his mind, and his face was full of smiles.

Don't lie, and send the child safely to a proper family. The bald monk immediately classified Xing Xiuyan as a kind person.

When Song Chen and Xing Xiuyan left the Guanyin Hall and hurried back to the capital, the bald monk heard his junior brother, who had been wandering around all the year round, muttering to himself.

The bald monk ignored it, and was about to leave, but he heard his younger brother, the monk with a scarlet head, sigh and say the words "Life encounters, samsara is impermanent", and the tone of his voice was full of incomprehension.

Let's just say that Song Chen's BMW ran ahead, Xiuyan's car was chasing behind, the handlebars were ordered, and as long as the car didn't fall apart, they would rush back to the capital as soon as possible.

Pedestrians hurried along the official road, and all of them gave way when they saw this group of people. A curious child pointed to the Xing family's carriage, and his mother was so frightened that she clapped her hands and knocked off the random little slap.Smoke and dust billowed up everywhere the carriage passed, and the original one-hour journey was shortened by half. The generals guarding the city gate also had a battle report from the front at that time, and hurriedly opened the city gate.

Song Chen's horse didn't stop for a moment, Xiuyan's car followed closely behind, bumping into the city.

It was almost noon, and the Xing family's inner house was in chaos. Lin Daiyu wished she could give birth to a second pair of hands and a fourth leg.As smart as she is, she also sensed something was wrong.

Why did my mother pass out as soon as my adoptive father and elder sister went out, and Brother Fu suddenly had a high fever?

Fu Ge'er's little crying face was reddish purple, with water droplets all over his body, and he couldn't tell which ones were sweat and which ones were tears.

When Daiyu was in a panic and didn't know what to do, the housekeeper's wife came back and said that the eldest girl had arrived at the door.

"Big sister!" Daiyu's legs softened, and the relaxation after high tension made her unable to stand for a moment.Xiuyan and Zijuan quickly helped her up, but within half a day, Lin Daiyu was exhausted.

"Big sister, go and have a look. Mom is still in a coma, and the doctor I hired is still missing. Brother Fu is throwing up whatever he eats, what should we do!"

Xiuyan forced a smile, and comforted Daiyu: "Sister, don't worry, I probably know where the root of the disease is, and the doctor will come later." Daiyu watched anxiously as Big Sister Xing entered the inner room, and the room was in a mess At that time, a few maidservants were standing by Lu's bed, weeping and choking, and when they saw Xiuyan coming in, they cried out in grief.

Lu's eldest girl, Qiuping, was also hoarse from crying: "Girl, what's wrong with Ma'am! It was fine when I got up early, but after breakfast, I became what I am now!"

Xiuyan turned a deaf ear to those wailing sounds, and went straight to Lu Shi's bedside.

Mother's hands and feet were cold, and although her heartbeat was there, it was extremely slow, and sometimes she couldn't even feel it. This was simply a state of suspended animation.Xiuyan carefully looked at the corners of her mother's lips, eyes, and ten fingers, and there was no sign of poisoning.

How did the opponent succeed?

Xiuyan cast suspicious gazes on several big maids, and her heart suddenly moved.

The maids around my mother were all carefully selected, and their hometowns are all in Suzhou. Except for Qiuping who was sold into the Xing family with her parents, the rest of them have long forgotten who their parents are, let alone their hometown. Where are you now!These girls are only beautiful in appearance, so they have always been respectful and considerate to their mothers.

When the nanny heard that the girl was back, she hurriedly hugged Fu Geer around the door, but the child was still crying, so Xiuyan had no choice but to turn around and come out.

"Girl, young master he"

Xiuyan hugged Fu Ge'er's quilt firmly, seeing her heart-piercing younger brother crying with a small mouth, Xiuyan's heart was hit hard.

Don't tell her to catch the Ouyang family, otherwise she will tell the Ouyang family to experience what it means to suffer for themselves.

For a while, Doctor Mi, who was invited by Song Chen's famous post, entered the inner courtyard. Only azure curtains were hanging on Lu's bed. Doctor Mi checked the pulse for a long time, and finally couldn't help but said: "Can you take a look?" Madam's complexion?"

Qiu Ping turned pale with shock: "No, men and women are different, how can Madam let others look at it so easily?" After speaking, she had to tuck up the curtain with her hands.

But Xiuyan stared at Qiuping's slightly trembling hands and said, "You step back first, and ask Doctor Mi to examine the illness carefully."

"Girl!" Qiuping continued to argue, but Lu's other servant girls had pulled her back to the back.Xiuyan had two things in one mind, one was watching Mi Tai doctor how to check the disease, and the other was quietly observing Qiuping.

Imperial Physician Mi pondered for a while, then got up and walked out: "Miss Xing, take a step to talk."

When the two walked to the corridor, Doctor Mi said in a low voice: "Mrs. Xing is not sick, she is suffering from evil spirits! The young master ate something unclean and it got stuck in his airway, which is why he was crying so much." I'm old and not talented, so I can only try my best to fight the young master's illness, but Mrs. Xing"

Xiuyan's face was gloomy, and she stopped Doctor Mi's words: "Sir, just save my brother's life. As for my mother, I will find a way."

Physician Mi nodded, and asked the nanny to carry Xiaofu to Baosha for treatment.

The baby's crying gradually became quieter, but the maids in the room became more serious.If they can't take care of their wives effectively, they will definitely be kicked out of the Xing family's house by the girl!

Qiuyue, who was a little timid, knelt down early, and when the others saw this, they also knelt down and worshiped.

Xiuyan was sitting by Lu's window, looking at these four or five people with cold eyes: "Madam treats you well all the time, but I didn't expect that today there is a traitor in the house, and there is no law to act like this. In front of my wife, I will give you a chance, you stand up now, I will not blame you, but wait until I find you out. "

Xiuyan looked at the five of them and sneered, "Don't blame me for being cruel."

Several maidservants trembled, but no one spoke to them.

"Okay, I didn't expect that everyone would be responsible!" Xiuyan rushed to the door and called someone in: "These five girls' houses are searched one by one, and one place is not allowed to be left behind, in the pillow core, in the quilt, Check the cabinet in the corner carefully, I want to see who is hiding evil intentions."

After Xiuyan finished speaking, her eyes happened to fall on Qiuping.

The gleam on Qiuping's face disappeared in a flash, but Xiuyan captured it closely.Could it be really her?

The maids lived in a row of servant rooms behind Lu's courtyard, two maids shared a room, and the housekeeper led the people to search very carefully, even looking at the cracks in the floor.

"Girl, I found this in Qiuyue's quilt!" Not long after, the housekeeper's wife came in with a cotton doll.There was a yellow note on the doll's head, and bright red characters were written all over it with a cinnabar-red pen. It was Lu Shi's birth date, and slender silver needles were nailed to the doll's body.

Qiuyue broke free from the shackles of her mother-in-law, and threw herself in front of Xiuyan: "Girl, girl! It's really not me! I've never seen such a thing before!"

Qiuping hid in the distance, looked at Suri's good sister coldly, and didn't say a word.
