There was a knock on the tightly locked wooden door.
The concierge opened the door and saw two strange women, the one with a bruised nose and face following them.
The concierge was worried that these two people were here to cause trouble, so he asked cautiously: "Girl, who are you looking for?"
"Look for your master, I'm from the escort agency and I'm here to collect the money."
Qiao Jinhuan said calmly.
Uncle Yun only gave him a deposit of three hundred taels of gold, and he would come back to Uncle Yun to get the remaining two hundred taels after the matter was completed.
Apparently, he told the concierge at home.
As soon as he heard the word "escort agency", the concierge opened the door and said: "Unfortunately, my master has not come back yet. Please wait a moment."
"Where is your master?"
"It's in Kangshunhou Mansion."
Qiao Jinhuan curled her lips slightly and then asked, "How long will it take to come back?"
"It's quick, it won't take more than two quarters of an hour."
"Then we'll wait."
Qiao Jinhuan responded.
She drank the tea brought by the servant of the house and crossed her legs, looking carefree as if she was the master of the house.
The second girl from the escort agency who followed closely behind her lowered her head and did not even dare to breathe too loudly.
After waiting like this, it can be regarded as waiting for Uncle Yun to come back.
"Uncle Yun!"
Seeing him, the second girl shouted excitedly, and then quickly winked at him.
Uncle Yun didn't understand what she meant. He just thought that she had completed the task and asked someone to bring up the gold.
There was another person who had been in contact with Qiao Jinhuan in the past. Uncle Yun had never seen her before. Even if she sat in front of her now, he would not recognize her.
Seeing this, the second girl looked desperate.
She looked at the careless Qiao Jinhuan and then at the unsuspecting Uncle Yun. She gritted her teeth and prepared to secretly complain to Uncle Yun.
"cough!"
Qiao Jinhuan coughed lightly and put the tea cup on the table.
The second girl was so frightened that she couldn't say anything.
"Uncle Yun, it's hard for us to collect this money while the person is still alive."
Qiao Jinhuan said.
Uncle Yun was stunned for a moment, then looked at the second girl and asked, "Who is this?"
"I am her mother..."
Yun Bo: So young?
Second girl: Take advantage of me?
"A person sent to look after the second girl. The owner of the family has no idea that the second girl has accepted this business from you. You must know that killing a nobleman in the capital is not an ordinary danger."
Listening to Qiao Jinhuan's pointed words, Uncle Yun frowned, "What do you mean?"
"You have to pay more."
"It's easier to add money..."
"Not only that, but there is something else that I hope Uncle Yun can agree to."
Hearing this, Uncle Yun looked wary, "What's the matter?"
"The master of the house is waiting for you outside."
Qiao Jinhuan did not speak bluntly, but smiled meaningfully.
Uncle Yun suddenly realized that he was just trying to gain some connections with the Hou family through this incident, or he was trying to handle some private matters that were not easy to disclose to outsiders.
He didn't have too much doubt and followed Qiao Jinhuan into the carriage.
It's not that he was careless.
In fact, since the second girl was here, he never imagined that the second girl would actually catch the mission target in front of him.
So as soon as he got on the carriage, he was knocked unconscious by Qiao Jinhuan without any precautions.
Qiao Jinhuan tied the man to death, then looked at the second girl faintly, "Do you want to have a fortune?"
Wha, what?
The second girl was stunned, "What wealth?"
Seeing her stupidity, Qiao Jinhuan shook his head again, "Forget it, you can't do it."
These two girls are stupid. If they really want to pair her up with Lu Yue, then Lu Yue will have to control her to death.
She wanted Lu Yue to suffer the consequences, but she didn't want to find him a good wife.
Thinking of this, Qiao Jinhuan's eyes flashed slightly.
Then she spent a little money and asked a beggar to deliver a letter to the Prince Kangshun's mansion.
The letter arrived in Lu Yue's hands in less than half an hour.
Lu Yue opened it and took a look, and was shocked.
——I know everything you did to Ning Qingwan, and your nanny is also in my hands. You don’t want him to die, right?
——In Xu Shi, take one hundred thousand taels of silver notes to Room 1 of the Emperor in Mingyue Tower, otherwise I will tell the Weiwu Hou Mansion and kill people again.
——Remember, you come here in person and don’t let anyone know.
The letter was not signed.
Lu Yue quickly burned the letter with trembling hands, his heart almost rising to his throat.
Who is it?
Who is threatening him!
It seems that this person is simply seeking money. As long as he is deceived, there is still room for saving the matter.
Lu Yue's eyes were wandering. After a while, his heart sank, and he asked someone to prepare a hundred thousand taels of silver notes.
It looked like the sky was getting darker and darker outside.
The second girl pursed her lips and sat on the chair uneasily, "Sister Qiao, do you think Mr. Lu will really come?"
"He will."
"Then what if she brings someone to give Room No. 1..."
"He didn't dare."
Qiao Jinhuan said very firmly.
What she wanted was nothing more than one hundred thousand taels, and Lu Yue could afford it. This large amount would also give Lu Yue a wrong perception, making him think that he only wanted money.
Why make a fuss about something that can be settled with money?
Only when the commotion gets bigger will he really want to finish it.
Furthermore, Uncle Yun is in her hands, and Uncle Yun is still responsible for Lu Yue's murder and silence. He will not fail to save her.
And the warnings and requests in her letter...
With all the buffs added together, Qiao Jinhuan concluded that Lu Yue would definitely come, and he would never reveal his whereabouts, so he would come in secret.
As expected.
At 8 o'clock, there was a knock on the door outside Room 1.
The second girl went to open the door and saw only Lu Yue standing outside. He was wearing a veil and an inconspicuous Tsing Yi, but his white and flawless hands still revealed his identity.
This is Lu Yue.
The original owner had seen it in his memory, so Qiao Jinhuan naturally recognized it.
"The one hundred thousand taels of silver you want!"
As soon as Lu Yue entered the door, he saw Uncle Yun who was tied up and unconscious. He threw the banknote on the table with anger in his eyes, "Who are you?"
"Me?"
Qiao Jinhuan slowly raised his head and looked at him with a half-smile, "Mr. Lu, long time no see."
"It's you!"
Lu Yue's pupils shrank, "Qiao Jin..."
Before he could finish his words, Qiao Jinhuan hit him on the temple with the wooden stick placed beside him.
The next second, Lu Yue fainted.
Qiao Jinhuan put away the banknotes on the table, glanced at the second girl, "Hug him and follow me."
Second girl:......
The second girl wanted to resist, but her body was still hurting. She could only shut up, pick him up, and stuff him into the carriage.
The carriage swayed forward.
The second girl pursed her lips uneasily, "Sister Qiao, where are we going?"
“Go to a nice place.”
Qiao Jinhuan smiled meaningfully.
Good place?
The second girl was a little confused.
But soon, the carriage stopped.
Looking at the young master waving at him upstairs and smelling the smell of rouge and wine wafting all over the street, the second girl was completely numb.
Qiao Jinhuan ignored her, put on his face a small, somewhat inferior mask that he had bought from vendors on both sides of the street when he came here, and then walked towards Xunxiang Tower.
