A middle-aged man who looked like a steward came out of the back door with a few strong men. When he saw the dead Sun Qizheng, his expression suddenly changed.
The old man from Pojiao shook his head: "I don't know. I heard a noise and came out to check, and then I saw the person lying on the ground. The blood was still hot. He had just died."
The steward knelt down to check Sun Qizheng's wounds, and then quickly looked around.
Nothing unusual, no trace of any impression!
The steward's face was very solemn. Sun Qi was a ninth-grade master. What kind of person could quietly kill a ninth-grade master in an instant?!
"Let's carry the person into the yard first."
The steward ordered his men to carry the body away, and then looked straight at the word "hour" written in blood on the ground.
What did Sun Qizheng want to tell them?
"Clean up the blood and writing on the floor so that no one will notice anything strange."
The old man Pojiao nodded in agreement and said doubtfully: "I received a letter from Sun Qizheng a few days ago, saying that he was returning to the capital in the past two days. He should have just arrived in the capital today. Why was he killed? I didn't hear that he was in the capital.
Are there any enemies?"
The steward pondered: "Sun Qi was introduced by the head of Tianbo Sect. Only the head of Tianbo Sect knows about him. This matter must be reported to the great master."
The old man Pojiao didn't say much and started cleaning the alley. The steward entered the yard and after a while, he changed his clothes and went out through the front door of the yard.
Shi Fuxin "watched" this scene and quietly followed the steward. Not long after, she saw the steward enter the residence of the Gu family, the Minister of Personnel.
Gu family, Tianbomen...
Shi Fuxin's expression was solemn. There were not many people with the surname Shi in Beijing, and they came from the northwest. The Gu family would definitely target Wuchang Bo Mansion soon.
"Thursday six!"
Just when Shi Fuxin was thinking about how to solve this problem, a surprised sound came from behind.
Shiliu...
The scene from the past life reappeared in Shi Fuxin's mind. When she turned around, she saw Chu Yao and his number one younger brother Meng Moling.
"Why are you here?!"
Chu Yao raised his eyebrows and looked at Shi Fuxin: "We should be asking you this, right? You opened a new store and you weren't in the store to watch it. Why did you come here?"
As he said that, he glanced at the Gu Mansion not far away across the street.
"Also, you are very fast. Two-quarters of an hour ago, you were still on Chang'an Street, and now you are here in Dongshi."
Facing Chu Yao, Shi Fuxin did not dare to be careless and said with a smile: "I just saw an acquaintance, so I chased him. Who knows, I saw him wrong. I am going back to Chang'an Street now."
Chu Yao smiled half-heartedly: "Really?"
Shi Fuxin nodded her head sincerely: "Of course it's true. You all know that my store has just opened. You can't leave me. I have to go back and take charge of the overall situation. I'll leave first."
After saying that, he ran away with a smile.
Seeing Shi Fuxin's retreating back, Chu Yao looked at Gu Mansion with a somewhat unclear expression.
Recently, there have been some problems with the appointment and deployment of some officials. He had just set his sights on Gu Guoliang, the Minister of Civil Affairs, and before he could take any action, he encountered Shiliu first.
What's that girl doing here?
He didn't believe that he met an acquaintance.
"Go and ask someone to check if anything happened in Gu's house today?"
...
Gu Mansion.
After hearing what the steward had reported, Gu Shangshu was surprised and regretful when he learned that Sun Qizheng was dead.
It’s hard to find a bodyguard for a ninth-grade master!
After practicing martial arts to the ninth level, no matter how generous the reward is, few people are willing to work as guards.
Sun Qi was introduced by his daughter's master, the head of the Tianbo Sect, and he felt more at ease with a ninth-grade master guarding him.
Although the Emperor has been on the throne for five years, and the overall situation in court has been stabilized on the surface, there are still many undercurrents secretly.
As the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, he is in charge of the assessment and promotion of officials, so he has to
If he offends some people, it is not impossible for those people to take desperate measures and hire someone to deal with him.
"Sun Qizheng is dead. We need to talk to the head of Tianbo Sect and ask him to introduce another ninth-grade guard."
Gu Guoliang obviously cares about his own life.
"hour......"
Gu Guoliang murmured the word: "Sun Qizheng left the word "hour", what did he want to say?"
The steward spoke at the right time: "Sun Qi is from the northwest. If it is a vendetta, then his enemy should also be from the northwest."
Gu Guoliang understood the steward's prompt: "You mean the Shi family of Wuchang Bo Mansion?"
When Wuchang Bo found out that he had the wrong son, he laughed a lot.
Thinking of Shi Dingxuan, who was an imperial guard in the palace, Gu Guoliang had no intention of avenging Sun Qizheng or anything.
He is just a guard, there is no need to make enemies.
However, he still ordered the steward to inform the head of the Tianbo Sect about Sun Qizheng's death. As for how the head of the Tianbo Sect would act, he was too lazy to take care of it.
...
Suburbs of Beijing, Zhuhai Villa.
When Le Wu, the head of the Tianbo Sect, received the news from the Gu family, his brows suddenly knitted into knots and he went to the Qingguo Duke's Mansion that night.
"Master, Sun Qizheng, who was sent to Gu Guoliang's side, is dead!"
Mrs. Qingguo, who was rumored to be crazy, shot her eyes like sharp knives at Le Wu who was kneeling on one knee: "How did he die? He was a ninth-grade master!"
Le Wu lowered his head and said: "The cause of death is unknown, but Sun Qizheng left a word "Shi" before his death. My subordinates guessed that he probably wanted to say Shi family in Wuchang Bofu."
Mrs. Qingguo narrowed her eyes: "It's Wuchang Bofu again..."
Shi Dingxuan, the Shi Fuyin siblings, and Mrs. Qing Guo were extremely angry when they thought that during the Yongdingmen riot, her entire plan was ruined and her father, Chu Hu, died with no peace of mind.
"You should send someone to investigate Sun Qizheng's death. Regardless of whether it is related to the Wuchang Bo Mansion or not, I have secretly kept a close eye on the Wuchang Bo Mansion's Shi family, no, Shi Zhenghe's family."
Le Wu nodded and quietly retreated.
...
The beauty smiles.
On the first day the store opened, I was very angry.
Shi Dinghao occupied the position at the counter, flipping through the account books and flipping the abacus, his eyes narrowed with a smile as he calculated how much money he had earned today.
Shi Fuyin was also busy, busy directing the waiters and the maids to replenish the goods.
Shi Fuxin stood aside with a smile, watching her sister and brother working.
It wasn't until the beginning of Haishi (21:00) that the two of them finished their work.
"Sister, Kuro, let's go back."
The three siblings got into the carriage. In the carriage, Shi Fuxin told them about their encounter with Sun Qizheng today.
Shi Dinghao looked surprised: "You came to the capital so soon?"
Shi Fuxin: "His injuries haven't healed yet. He should have come to the capital to recuperate." She said, looking at her sister and brother, "In the future, we have to pay more attention to our family."
Shi Fuyin looked at Shi Fuxin with a solemn expression: "I talked to Miss Lu today. Do you know how she was disfigured?"
Shi Fuxin nodded: "I know."
Lu Jingshu is a former opera oiran, and her human relations must be complicated. If she wants to use her products to promote Hongyanxiao, she naturally needs to investigate the person clearly.
"Lu Jingshu was disgraced because she was attracted by Duke Qing and was tricked by Duke Qing's concubine."
Shi Fuyin sighed: "The conflict between our family and the Duke of Qing's palace is getting deeper and deeper."
Shi Fuxin looked calm: "Anyway, we have stopped dealing with it long ago, so it doesn't matter if there is one more."
