Chapter 31 Changes
Not far from Zhuchiyuan is a small town. The town is called Qingshan Town, but because behind the town is the beautiful mountains and rivers.
Due to various reasons, Qingrong Prefecture is not concerned about the jurisdiction of Qingshan Town, which also leads to the mixed nature of dragons and snakes here, which is extremely chaotic, and there are occasional killing and robbing people.
There are mostly vicious guys in Qingshan Town, but these guys never dare to provoke people in Zhu Chi Garden, even if they are just servants.
Once, a maid in Zhu Chi Garden went out to buy some items for a lady, but happened to be met by a group of horse thieves who had just arrived in Qingshan Town. Seeing that the maid was very pretty, the group of horse thieves kidnapped him and humiliated him to death.
In less than two days, the heads of this group of horse thieves were neatly hung in the vegetable market in Qingshan Town, with a total of 98 people, one less than one less.
Zhuchiyuan covers a large area, and it takes more than half an hour to walk around Zhuchiyuan. Therefore, in order to facilitate access, Zhuchiyuan opened many small doors for the servants to enter and exit.
Logically speaking, if so many small doors are set up, there will be some hidden dangers, but Zhu Chiyuan doesn't care at all. No one dares to make trouble on Tai Sui's head. There are countless experts in Zhu Chiyuan, and they are not afraid of someone coming in.
On the side of Zhu Chi Garden, there was no building here, so the guards were a little relaxed. At this time, a small door was gently pushed open a gap, and a small head came in from outside.
After looking around, she confirmed that there was no one inside, she quickly pushed open the small door, then dodged and entered Zhu Chi Garden from outside.
After "Little Head" came in, he quickly covered the door, tidied up his clothes, pretended to be wandering, and walked deep into Zhu Chiyuan.
The person who broke in was not very old, only at the age of twelve or thirteen, with slightly dark skin and rough hands and feet. He didn't look like a young master from a wealthy family.
The boy's face was full of smiles and his eyes were full of excitement, staring at a jade hairpin in his hand.
The jade hairpin is all white in shape. If you look closely, you will see that there is a phoenix-shaped green color in the center of the jade hairpin. Under the reflection of the light, the emerald green phoenix seems to be still flapping its wings, which looks very spiritual.
The happier Chi Yuqi looked at the hairpin, and he couldn't help but recall the experience of getting the jade hairpin. At first, he selected jade in a jade shop, but he didn't want to choose too carefully and hit an old man. The old man was wearing a white robe with no dust on it, like a master and a great scholar of his generation.
The old man looked at him, smiled slightly and started talking to him. For half an hour, the old man and the young man had a great time. When the old man knew that he was choosing decorations, he took out an exquisite box, which contained the jade hairpin, saying that he wanted to give it to him.
He fell in love with the jade hairpin at a glance, thinking that if he gave the hairpin to his mother, his mother would definitely like it very much. He immediately decided to accept the hairpin, but he didn't want to owe anything to others, so he stuffed ten taels of silver to the old man, and ten taels of silver was a lot.
"She will be very happy to give this to my mother." The boy smiled and looked carefully for a while. Then he carefully wrapped the jade hairpin in cloth, put it in an exquisite box, and then put it in his arms.
The young man patted his chest and walked into the depths of Zhu Chiyuan with a relaxed face.
Shortly after the boy left, the small door was opened again and two middle-aged men with ordinary appearances flashed into it.
These two men looked extremely ordinary and did not attract any attention. If they were placed on the street, they would probably disappear into the crowd immediately.
"Young Master Yuqi thought no one showed him out of the mansion!" said a man in a gray robe.
"Hehe, how can he show it? You and me can at least rank among the top ten in this mansion. If he can see it, where will you put your two old faces?" Another Huang Shan man smiled.
"Forget it, since the young master has returned to the mansion and there is no problem with safety, then you go and rest. I will follow alone." The man in the gray robe looked at the direction of the boy's departure. He moved his legs and ran forward quickly. What is strange is that the man in the gray robe moved very much, but there was not much sound.
Chi Yuqi glanced behind him intentionally or unintentionally. In fact, he had already appeared the two guards behind him. Since he practiced the magic tricks passed down by his family to the fifth level, his five awakenings have reached an extremely terrifying level. Although the two guards behind him are powerful in light skills and have almost no flaws, they are still easily seen by him.
When he left the mansion, the two guards did not stop him, so he naturally pretended not to show these two people, and it was a good thing to have two people protecting them.
Chi Yuqi was too lazy to care about the two people behind him, and he was now full of joy in seeing his mother.
There are many halls in Zhuchiyuan, and the guards are heavily guarded and have always been a place where senior officials of Zhuchiyuan discuss matters.
An old man with a young face was sitting on a chair of the Grand Master. His face seemed to be frosted and his eyes were even colder.
Next to the old man was also standing a middle-aged man. His sword-eyed eyebrows and starry eyes were heroic. Although he was almost confused, he had a mature charm all over his body. This face was extremely lethal to both the young girl in his prime and the young woman who had lived in the deep courtyard for a long time.
The middle-aged man was wearing extremely gorgeous robes, and he could tell at a glance that he was a person of high status. However, the man lowered his head, trembling, and did not dare to make too many moves, for fear of making any mistakes unhappy the old man in front of him.
There was a man in red robe kneeling in front of the old man. The man in red robe looked slightly and looked very respectful to the old man in front of him.
"Say what you said just now." The old man's face was so gloomy that water was almost dripping from his eyes, and his eyes were even colder, making people unable to help but fight.
"Reported to the head of the family, the biological mother of Master Yuqi passed away a month ago and had been buried a long time ago. The subordinates and others were unable to bring the second wife back." The man in red robe bowed directly to the ground.
The old man's face suddenly changed from cold to angry. He slapped the table under his arm, and the table shattered in response to the sound and the debris collapsed all over the floor.
The old man slapped the table and his anger had not yet subsided. He kicked the man in red robe who was kneeling on the ground and hit the wall not far away.
"I can't even get it if I get it. What's the use of asking you Blood Guard? Why do you have a good person die of illness?"
The man in red robe spitted blood directly, but the man in red robe did not dare to delay, so he immediately got up and continued to kneel on the ground.
The middle-aged man around the old man was even more arrogant and afraid to let go, for fear that the old man would vent his anger on him.
"Report to the head of the family, the second wife had already passed away before we could leave, but my subordinates carefully checked and found that there was another hidden secret about the second wife's death." The man in red robe was almost lying on the ground.
"What? Does anyone dare to touch the people from my Chi family?" The old man's eyes lit up, and his originally angry expression now added a layer of evil spirit.
"The second wife has lived outside the Chi Mansion for a long time, and all the fees are all allocated by the Chi Mansion, but there are very few of them under layers of deduction, especially in the three years since Young Master Yuqi left home! The second wife had no idea how to live, so she secretly did some handicrafts again, but..." The man in red robe was hesitant when he said this, and glanced at the middle-aged man standing next to the old man.
"But what, say." The old man's face looked extremely bad, and he seemed to be on the verge of explosion again.
"Li, the second master's concubine, heard about this from the maid, sent someone to punish the second wife for kneeling in the wind and snow for a day and a night. After being punished, the second wife was unable to get sick and died in less than three days." The man in red robe finished speaking with difficulty.
The old man's expression suddenly became a little unstable. He sat on the chair, frowned tightly, not knowing what he was thinking.
The middle-aged man standing next to the old man couldn't help but sweat in his cold sweat after listening to the man in red robe, and cursed the jealous concubine over and over again.
"The truth about the death of the second wife, strictly seal it up, and don't let anyone else know. You will go back to Chifu immediately to deal with the aftermath. Remember, the second wife died of illness naturally and has nothing to do with the people in Chifu, and the second wife will also have to be buried with the rich. For those maids who are talking too much, they pulled their tongues. As for the concubine Li, they dug their eyes and threw them into the snake prison." The old man calmed down at this time, but a cold light flashed in his eyes and said with a sarcastic look.
"You have any objection! That's your concubine after all!" The old man turned his head and looked at the middle-aged man next to him coldly.
"Father, Li is jealous and jealous, and he is worthy of death. How could the child have any objections?" Although the middle-aged man said this, he felt extremely distressed in his heart. Li is very good at serving people, so it is really a pity to kill him.
"Okay, you'll go back together. If anyone makes a mistake in this matter, let Yuqi know, don't blame me for being ruthless." The old man said with a cold tone and a stern face.
"Get out." The old man leaned against the Grand Master's chair, squinted his eyes, and thought in his heart how to tell his grandson Yuqi, or simply hide it from him.
"Subordinates surrender."
"The boy gave up."
The man in black who was kneeling on the ground and the middle-aged man standing beside him slowly left the hall.
"Hmph, your blood guards are so capable!" The middle-aged man snorted coldly at the man in red as soon as he left the hall.
"I would like to advise the second master not to mention this matter again. Besides, my Blood Guard belongs to the Chishuitang, and it is also under the responsibility to investigate the death of the Chi family's wife." The man in the red robe seemed not very respectful to the second master in front of him.
"Hmph, Madam Chi Family? What is she? A brothel woman! Don't think that if you have a third sister for you, you dare not take me seriously." Seeing that the man in red robe in front of him had no respect for him, Mr. Chi couldn't help but feel angry.
"Madam is named by the head of the family. The second master is afraid that there is no choice. The second master should take care of himself, otherwise it might happen again and make the head unhappy." The man in the red robe seemed unwilling to say anything more to the second master in front of him, so he turned around and left.
The middle-aged man clenched his hands and his five fingers were pinched. He secretly regretted why he chose to do business when he was young, instead of choosing to practice martial arts like the third sister. Maybe he is the leader of the Chishui Hall now, and his subordinates can mobilize the masters of the entire Chishui Hall, instead of being in power without power now.
The middle-aged man secretly regretted it for a while, so he turned around and left. He also wanted to explain the affairs in Zhu Chi Garden and then rushed to Chi Mansion to deal with the aftermath.
After the two of them left, a young man turned from behind a pillar thirty or forty feet away. The young man was Chi Yuqi. At this time, his face was full of blue and his expression was extremely ugly.
After Chi Yuqi bought the jade hairpin, he was about to go back, but unexpectedly saw his father Ayuchimasa walking with a man in red robe. For some reason, he subconsciously hid.
Chi Yuqi is now extremely sensitive to hearing. Although he is thirty or forty feet away, he still hears most of the words of the two.
When Chi Yuqi heard the two people mention the death of the Chi family's wife, he panicked in his heart. After all, his mother was designated as the second wife.
Chi Yuqi kept hinting that he could not be his mother, but the more he listened, the colder he felt. However, he kept hinting in his heart that his mother was still alive and was still on the way here. They would be able to reunite soon, and then the mother would never suffer again.
