The Grand Secretary’s Pampered Wife

Chapter 540: The Man Behind the Scenes (Part 1)

"Brother, don't talk nonsense with him, you're going to die, what do you know so much about?"

"That's right, this guy is not worthy of knowing the young master's name."

The leading man in black smiled, and said to the man in black next to him, "Kill this kid, and do it cleanly."

"Brother, don't worry, we know what's going on. This kid doesn't know martial arts, so we have the final say on how to die!"

Several people roared with laughter and forced towards Xiao Heng disdainfully.

In front of Xiao Heng is the man in black, and behind him is a huge slope. He has two choices, one is to be killed by them, and the other is to jump off the slope and fall to his death.

"Jump."

A man in black smiled provocatively.

This kind of height is nothing to a martial arts practitioner, but it is a certain death situation for an imperial official.

They didn't believe that Heng Xiao could dance, in fact, Heng Xiao did not dance.

A few people sneered and approached Xiao Heng, and when they were about ten steps away, Xiao Heng suddenly took out something from the purse and threw it at their feet.

A few people still regarded it as a hidden weapon, and took a step back in a hurry!

It's a pity, it's useless to take a step back, the black thing exploded with a few bangs after it hit the ground!

Several people were blown to pieces!

The leader of the man in black was startled, and when he realized that he wanted to attack Xiao Heng, Xiao Heng quickly took out the remaining few black fire beads.

"not good!"

Boom!

Before he had time to escape, he was knocked out by a series of black fire beads.

Gu Jiao mixed a small amount of Mongolian sweat medicine into Xiao Heng's black fire beads, the power of the explosion was actually not as great as the pure black fire beads, but it could quickly overwhelm the opponent.

After knocking out the group of people, Xiao Heng quickly left and walked down the path ahead to find Xing Shangshu.

Xing Shangshu just fell down the hillside, and the place where he fell was not so high, if he was lucky, he would not die.

When Xiao Heng found him, his arm was dislocated and his leg could still walk.

Xiao Heng helped him up, looked around, found a direction and said: "Let's go!"

Xing Shangshu covered his dislocated arm and cursed in pain: "What kind of people are these?"

"I don't know." Xiao Heng said.

Xing Shangshu said angrily: "Okay, okay, I've put my idea on my head, and when I return to the capital,

This official wants to check and see through his background! "

remarkably brave.

Xing Shangshu said earnestly: "Liulang, you, don't be scared. The king's salary is to worry about the king. We are court officials, how can we not encounter a little trouble? You don't want to retreat because of this turmoil. Thumbs up."

Xiao Heng supported him to accurately identify the direction of the capital: "Well, no."

What is this disturbance? What's more, this is aimed at him, and it has nothing to do with whether he is an official of the court or not.

They set up such a big game to deal with him. This game started from the Xianleju murder case. All of them are pawns on the chessboard.

It's just that I don't know who the young master is, and what does it have to do with Xianleju?

Xiao Heng said: "My lord, after returning to Beijing, I want to go to Xianleju again."

"Okay! I'll listen to you! My mother also thinks there is something wrong with Xianleju!" Xing Shangshu was so angry that he burst into foul language.

Regarding the background of Xianleju, the people in the capital had already speculated a lot, but it was a pity that Xianleju had never been given a handle, so it would not be good to just seal it up or take it away.

What's more, what can we do if we take Xianleju? Is the focus on Xianleju? It's the people behind Xianleju!

Xing Shangshu has a toothache!

The two walked for a while, and Shangshu Xing suddenly asked: "By the way, I seem to have heard a strange voice just now. Are you okay?"

After Xing Shangshu fell down, the people were dizzy for a long time, and the place was far away, so they couldn't hear it very clearly. I don't know if I heard it wrong or what is the matter.

"I'm fine." Xiao Heng didn't mention black powder.

Black gunpowder is only available in Yan Kingdom, God knows how Gu Jiao has it in her hands, one thing more is worse than one thing less, since Shangshu Xing is not sure, it is because he heard it wrong.

"By the way, where are those people?" Xing Shangshu asked again.

Xiao Heng said: "Turn away temporarily, but we may catch up again in a while, we have to leave as soon as possible."

"Ah...but where is this?" Xing Shangshu was completely lost.

Xiao Heng pointed to the front, and said: "Go one more mile to the east and you will reach Xiaohe Village. There is a post station across from the village, and we will hire a carriage there."

"Oh." Xing Shangshu nodded blankly.

He vaguely felt that something was wrong, but for a while he couldn't remember what was wrong.

Those people still caught up, but Xiao Heng was too familiar with the terrain around the capital, so he could throw them away no matter what.

After the carriage entered the city gate, Xing Shangshu suddenly recalled: "You... aren't you from Youzhou? Why are you more familiar with the capital than I am?"

Those who don't know think that you kid grew up in the capital!

That group of people didn't seem to intend to do anything in the capital. After entering the capital, the journey of the two of them was much smoother. They stopped hiding and walked faster.

Xing Shangshu was injured, Xiao Heng simply sent him to Miaoshoutang.

"Liulang is here." The second boss greeted with a smile, "You came to find Xiao Gu? She is healing a patient, and she will be fine in a while."

Xiao Heng hummed, and introduced to the Second Master's family sideways: "This is Lord Xing, his arm was injured, please trouble the Second Master to find a doctor for him to treat him."

Xing Shangshu was wearing an official uniform. Although the second owner's family didn't recognize which yamen it was, he could see that he was a high-ranking official above the third rank. The second owner's family hurriedly handed over their hands: "My lord, I'm sorry! Please come here, I'll call you doctor."

The second owner invited Xing Shangshu to the wing room upstairs.

Xiao Heng went to Gu Jiao's courtyard.

Xiao Heng knew about the fact that there was a female patient living in the yard, and he never interfered with Gu Jiao's practice of medicine, but he didn't know that the patient moved into Gu Jiao's house.

He pushed the door and entered, and bumped into the other party unexpectedly.

Mo Qianxue tried to sneak around after Gu Jiao left, but just as she got to the table, Xiao Heng came in.

Xiao Heng saw her, and she also saw Xiao Heng.

She was wearing Gu Jiao's clothes, and she was neatly dressed, without any disrespect or inconvenience, but it was just that she was still caught off guard.

Her walking posture was quite different from normal people, Xiao Heng quickly realized that she was a patient, he hurriedly looked away, nodded lightly, and turned to go out.

At this moment, Mo Qianxue stopped him: "Stop!"

Xiao Heng paused, hesitated for a moment, and looked at Mo Qianxue.

In all fairness, Mo Qianxue's face is greasy and beautiful, and it is difficult to find a woman in the whole capital who is more attractive than her.

Even the doctors from the Erdong's family and the medical clinic were too shocked to speak when they saw Mo Qianxue's clean face for the first time.

Xiao Heng was very calm.

There was no amazement or fascination in his eyes, it was purely a way of looking at strangers, no different from looking at ordinary people on the road.

Mo Qianxue's willow eyebrows frowned: "Is that how you reacted when you saw me?"

Hearing these words, Xiao Heng was at a loss.

What happened to his reaction?

What did she think he should do when he saw her?

Xiao Heng looked at Mo Qianxue in puzzlement.

Mo Qianxue held back the pain from the wound and moved towards Xiao Heng step by step.

Xiao Heng unconsciously took a step back when she approached three steps away from him, the meaning of avoiding suspicion was very obvious.

Mo Qianxue's willow eyebrows frowned even tighter: "What's wrong with you?"

If the first sentence made Xiao Heng puzzled, this second sentence can be regarded as making Xiao Heng hear some clues.

She spoke to him like a stranger's tone.

"You recognize me?" Xiao Heng looked at her suspiciously.

Mo Qianxue pointed at his right eye: "Do you think I won't know you when your mole is gone? Although your appearance has indeed changed a little from a few years ago, I can still recognize you!"

Xiao Heng frowned slightly.

There was indeed a tear mole under his right eye. Did she really see him?

When Mo Qianxue saw that he was silent, her face darkened and said: "Could it be that you don't remember me?"

Xiao Heng didn't speak.

Mo Qianxue stared at her almond-shaped eyes and said, "You really don't remember! I mean, the last time I met you near the Imperial Academy, I asked my servant girl to look for you, but you didn't respond at all!"

Near the Imperial Academy... Maid...

Xiao Heng remembered that there was indeed such a thing, and he was seen by editor Cen, who spread rumors in the Hanlin Academy that he was entangled with the women in the brothel.

Xiao Heng looked at her steadfastly: "You were the person that day?"

Mo Qianxue nodded: "That's right! It's me! I even dropped a token on the ground on purpose, but you didn't pick it up, but a crooked melon picked it up instead! After that, that person had the audacity to go to Xianleju to find it. I!"

Xiao Heng's eyes flickered: "Xianleju?"

It is true that Cen Bianxiu had an accident near Xianleju. The result of the investigation at the time was that Cen Bianxiu was bold and reckless. He was beaten to death by the guards of Xianleju.

So, he was not beaten to death as a thief, but was ordered to be killed by the woman in front of him?

Mo Qianxue didn't realize the impact her words had on the room, she said calmly, "Didn't I tell you before that if I see you again next time, I will tell you who I am?"

Xiao Heng looked at her with a cold inquiry in his eyes: "Really? Then who are you?"

Mo Qianxue raised her eyebrows and smiled: "I am the oiran of Xianleju, Mo Qianxue!"
