After all, it was four thousand taels of silver. Xu Fei told his uncle about the matter. It was possible that his uncle was unwilling to pay the money and wanted to teach him a lesson or wipe out the debt. In the capital, it was impossible to pay him back.
Xu Fei is the one who has unanswered questions.
Su Yingtao's four guys just had a few quarrels with him. It shouldn't be like this, not to mention that they invited Xuan-level masters to take action.
Or is it that Tie Miaoqing and his party failed to escape smoothly back to Youjiao Port and were stopped by Jian Yuanzhai's people. After learning that he had killed Cheng Shanping and their people, they chased him to the capital to settle the score with him?
On second thought, I ruled out this possibility.
Because of what the visitor just said, I didn’t expect him to be capable of both literary and martial arts. If someone from Jian Yuanzhai came to deal with him, how could they not know that he had a certain level of martial arts?
Or maybe, as soon as he arrived in the capital, the name ‘Ashi Heng’ was immediately discovered by the mastermind behind the assassination of the A family?
At this moment, Yu Qing thought a lot and considered many possibilities. The last possibility was the one he was most afraid of.
Li Gui, the driver of the car, acted as if nothing had happened. He could tell at a glance that he was an accomplice.
Yu Qing immediately cursed himself secretly. He found that his vigilance was too low and he still lacked experience in the world. He obviously felt something was wrong, but he could still be fooled. What the hell was this?
Just when he was in shock and confusion, the three fingers that locked his throat slowly released from his neck.
Only then did Yu Qing turn his head to see the person's appearance. Sitting side by side was a tall man with a beard. The person sat with his hands on his knees and looked quietly ahead. Despite this, Yu Qing's hand on the hilt of the sword hesitated.
He still didn't dare to act rashly again, and slowly relaxed, trying to ask: "I have no enmity with you, why are you robbing me?"
Du Fei: "Guess."
How do you guess this? Yu Qing was speechless for a while, and then asked, "What do you want to do, your Majesty?"
Du Fei glanced at him expressionlessly and made no response.
Yu Qing: "Do you know that I am a candidate for a new subject in Beijing to take the exam?" He was reminding the other party that if something happened to me, the court would not turn a blind eye.
Du Fei: "I know, Ash Heng, a new subject candidate from Lizhou."
There was no possibility of misunderstanding, it was just for him. Yu Qing's mouth tightened slightly, and he couldn't figure out who this person was, so he asked again: "Where are we going?"
Du Fei said, "You will know when you get to the place."
After he finished speaking, he stopped making any response and ignored what Yu Qing said.
Yu Qing had no choice but to run but he didn't dare to run. He also knew that he was too strong to run away under the eyes of others, so he could only wait for an opportunity to escape depending on the situation.
The door curtains and curtains were all blocked, so it was not clear where the carriage was going. The problem was that Yu Qing was not familiar with the capital at all. He could see the signs of the shops outside through the gaps in the curtains and couldn't figure out the location...
Mrs. Zhong opened the door of her eldest daughter's boudoir and walked in. She saw that both daughters were there and both looked unnatural.
She walked straight to her two daughters, suddenly took action, pinched Wen Ruowei's ears and pinched them hard, scolding, "You are getting more and more agile by leaning against the wall. Do you still look like a daughter?"
After chatting with her husband in the house, the guard came out of the house and told the couple as they should. The second lady eavesdropped on their conversation.
Except for Wen Ruowei herself, no one knew what exactly she heard and how much she heard, but seeing the way the eldest daughter lowered her head and said nothing, she understood that the two daughters already knew about the engagement.
Wen Ruowei struggled a lot before he got rid of his mother's vicious hand, rubbed his ears and moved away.
Mrs. Zhong glared at her fiercely, as if she would come back to settle the score with you again. Then she faced her eldest daughter, who bowed her head and said nothing, and asked, "What did Weiwei say to you?"
Zhong Ruochen hesitated, and after a while he summoned up the courage to raise his head and asked in a trembling voice: "Weiwei said that there was an engagement for me at home, is that true?"
Mrs. Zhong stared into her daughter's eyes and nodded slightly.
Zhong Ruochen lowered his head and asked in a low voice: "Why has my daughter never heard of it?"
Mrs. Zhong took her daughter's hand and sat aside, showing a look of recollection, and said slowly: "Back then, when your father suddenly wanted to get engaged for you, I was also surprised, even shocked. Ruochen, are you going to
Understand, at that time there was only a small shop left by your grandfather at home, but the other party was a high-ranking official in the court, and his status was extraordinary. I really don’t know how your father managed to curry favor with such a person. I
I should be happy for you, but your father repeatedly told me that the engagement should be kept secret. I don’t know the specific reason, and your father refused to tell me. A few years later, my in-laws were demoted from Beijing, so I vaguely
I feel that the reason for keeping it secret may be related to disputes within the imperial court, and it may be to avoid being implicated..."
On the streets of the capital, Yu Qing in the carriage secretly observed the people around him from time to time.
In short, after the carriage actually drove for a long time, it slowly stopped when it arrived at a quiet place from the noisy street environment.
Du Fei stood up directly, lifted the car curtain and got out, ignoring Yu Qing at all.
Yu Qing felt suspicious. He suddenly opened the curtains on the left and looked out. He saw a wall surrounding someone's yard. He couldn't tell where it was. He turned around and moved to the right window and opened the curtains. He saw a wealthy mansion.
In the courtyard, there are two magnificent characters: Zhongfu!
Zhongfu? Which Zhongfu? Yu Qing quickly looked at the door of the house, then stretched out his head and looked back and forth in the alleyway. Yes, he saw the alleyway he saw yesterday. Besides that Zhongfu, what other Zhongfu could it be?
?
He was dumbfounded on the spot, someone from the Zhong family?
Du Fei stood on the steps of the entrance hall, standing condescendingly with his hands behind his hands. After meeting Yu Qing's eyes, he turned around and went in without even saying anything.
After lowering the curtains, Yu Qing hesitated in the carriage for a while, and finally stood up and opened the door curtain. He saw the coachman Li Gui standing motionless next to the horse, holding the reins.
"What do you mean?" Yu Qing asked Li Gui, pointing to himself. Actually, he wanted to ask me what should I do?
Li Gui had no expression on his face, remained silent, and looked like he could do whatever you wanted.
Yu Qing jumped out of the car, looked at Li Gui, and then at the grand family of Zhong Mansion, and thought, don't say anything, right? Don't say anything, I'll just leave!
Who would have thought that before he left, Li Gui got on the carriage and drove it away with a whip.
So there was only one person left at the door of the entire Zhong Mansion, and there was not even a janitor or concierge in the huge courtyard.
Yu Qing was quite speechless.
After discovering that he had been robbed outside the gate of Zhong Mansion, he understood that his arrival in Beijing had been discovered by the Zhong family, but he didn't quite understand how he was discovered. According to Ashheng, the Zhong family didn't know either.
Where did their family live in seclusion, and they didn't know that he was coming to Beijing to take the exam.
They have obviously been kidnapped, and they have been dragged to the door of his house, and they are still ignoring them. What kind of trouble is this? Yu Qing doesn't understand what the rich people think. According to
His temper was such that he wanted to throw away his hands and leave immediately, but when the matter involved Ashheng, it was a bit difficult.
He was very happy when he left. The Zhong family felt that Ashheng didn't take the Zhong family seriously at all. What should he do if the Zhong family was angry and regretted the marriage?
At this point, Yu Qing had to restrain his temperament, straighten his clothes, and then "brave up his courage" step by step to climb the steps of the Zhongfu gate.
Stepping through the threshold of the door, Yu Qing looked around and saw that except for a shabby wall in front, there was still no one in sight.
When I walked around the Xiaoqiang, I saw another scene. It was a splendid garden with flowers, pavilions and pavilions, with men and women serving as servants coming and going.
Standing behind Xiao Qiang was an older man, Li Fangchang, the housekeeper of the Zhong Mansion. When he saw Yu Qing showing up, he immediately smiled and extended his hand to greet you, "Master, please come with me. The master is waiting for you."
Yu Qing, who didn't know how to deal with it, said, "Oh," and followed. It was the first time he had ever pretended to be someone else's son-in-law and he was at a loss in his heart. He just went ahead with the courage.
As Li Fangchang walked, he extended his hand to ask for her from time to time, which was very polite.
The servants who passed by the house from time to time were all surprised. They didn't know who the visitor was, and they didn't look like someone in their clothes, but they received the highest courtesy from Butler Li.
The servants on the way gave way one after another, and some of the less discerning ones came forward. Li Fang's face sank, and he was about to have a fit, but he fell silent again after seeing the maid's face clearly.
The maid who walked towards me without long eyes was none other than Wen Ruowei, the second young lady of the Zhong family.
She had no other intention, she just wanted to see what her future brother-in-law would look like.
However, due to etiquette, women who have not left the court are not allowed to interact directly with men outside.
In view of this, she simply disguised herself as a maid so that she could see clearly in person.
Looking at the maid who came towards her and staring at him, Yu Qing let out a sigh in his heart. This maid was quite beautiful and he couldn't help but take a second look.
When they collided face to face, he and Li Fangchang subconsciously moved aside to give way to this maid.
After giving in, Yu Qing's eyes flashed and he immediately stared at Li Fangchang, looking at his outfit again.
"Ahem." Li Fangchang coughed dryly, "The new maid in the family hasn't been trained well yet. She doesn't know the etiquette and makes the young master laugh. Please, please come inside."
"It's okay." Yu Qing waved his hand and immediately asked, "I wonder what your husband does in Zhongfu?"
Li Fangchang: "I can't bear the title of 'sir'. I am the butler of the Zhong Mansion."
"Oh! Disrespect, disrespect..." Yu Qing said "disrespect", but turned his head to look back at the maid who passed by just now, and only saw a figure disappearing at the corner of a corridor...
The main hall of the inner house is not the main hall of the lobby. Usually only people with a very personal relationship are invited to enter the main hall of the inner house.
Zhong Su and Wen Jianhui were sitting in the main hall, men on the left and women on the right, but they stood up from time to time, and they were both a little restless.
Outside the door, Du Fei strode over, walked into the hall and announced: "Master, Madam, Ashheng has entered the gate of Zhong Mansion."
After hearing this, Zhong Su and Wen Jianhui felt relieved and breathed a sigh of relief.
But Wen Jianhui couldn't help but glare at her husband, blaming him for being nosy.
The scene of neglecting Yu Qing at the door was all caused by Zhong Su. After sending Du Fei to pick him up, Zhong Su suddenly felt awkward after thinking about it. You, the younger generation, don't come to visit, and you want me to invite you. This
What's going on? My daughter can't get married, so I'm begging you to marry me?
He was too flattering and felt like he was belittling his own daughter.
