Chapter 328 Money is the best way to deal with him
Even if he has never come into contact with it, it is not difficult for An San, who has been running around for many years, to guess it.
"Mr. Yongyu's Mansion."
He suddenly thought of something and asked quietly, "But isn't this family related to my second sister? Should the master call her back?"
"Not for now, she has other things to do outside." Yuan Qing said, "I have prepared people and money for you, you decide how to use them. It would be best if you can dig out some secrets of Yongyu Marquis's Mansion for me before the second brother returns to Beijing, otherwise you should go back to the mountains and stay here for me."
An San's face fell.
isn't it?
When others fail to complete a task, the most they would do is write a letter of repentance or make amends, but why is it that when it comes to him, he has to reflect on his mistakes facing a wall, or even in the deep mountains and forests?
Only Lao Wu has been to that place.
He said that the mountains there are high and the forests are dense. There are many snakes, insects, rats and ants, and the weather is extremely changeable. Even a tough guy like Lao Wu can't stay there for more than half a week.
Yuan Qing turned around and looked at his miserable face, "Why, you don't want to go?"
An San pursed his lips into a straight line and nodded slightly.
He really didn't want to suffer that pain. Between completing the mission and suffering, he still wanted to choose to be better to himself.
"Since you don't want this opportunity, I can only find someone else." Yuan Qing smiled and approached, took out a bottle and said, "It's okay if you don't want to go to the mountains. I have other punishments."
As he said this, he handed the bottle over.
After he took it, Yuan Qing continued, "This is a pill for losing your voice. It's a failed version of the pill that Xiao Xiao developed for me. I'm giving it to you as a punishment. It's not a waste and it's cost-effective. The effect of losing your voice is only for one day, and you can recover after that. You can rest assured."
Upon hearing that the pills were made by Xiaoxiao, the little drug girl, An San's hand holding the bottle shook uncontrollably.
Oh my god, who dares to eat what she cooks!!!
Seeing that he didn't believe it, Yuan Qing took the medicine bottle, poured out a pill and fed it into his mouth.
After a moment, she pointed to her throat and opened her mouth wide, but could only make a hoarse "ah ah" sound.
An San looked at Pingzi and Yuan Qing's faces suspiciously, and only took the pill after making sure that everything was fine.
The pill slid down my throat, leaving a slight burning sensation where it passed, but it didn't cause any discomfort; it was quite comfortable instead.
Then he found that he could not make any sound.
He pinched his throat uncomfortably, raised a finger and asked silently: "Really only one day?"
Yuan Qing raised the corner of his mouth, took a few steps back, and threw the black pill hidden between his fingers.
"I forgot to tell you that there is still a second half to the punishment."
An San opened his mouth in surprise.
Master...how can she speak? !
When An San saw Gong Chan appearing behind Yuan Qing, he had completely turned from surprise to horror, and his legs subconsciously wanted to move.
Gong Chan had already seen him retreat and had already stepped aside to stand at the door.
With wolves in front and tigers behind, he is really in a dilemma.
An San felt so miserable that he could only watch the evil woman approach him step by step.
Yuan Qing walked past them and said, "Second sister, I leave him to you. Help me train him well. His martial arts skills are too poor."
Gong Chan responded coldly: "Don't worry."
In the past, An San always had to resort to sneaking and playing tricks to avoid training. This time, he has lost the ability to survive and has fallen into Gong Chan's hands. I'm sure nothing will end well for him.
However, Gong Chan was not a person without sense of propriety. The most she could do was to teach him a few tricks on how to escape.
After today's punishment, the task of spying on the Yongyu Marquis's mansion finally fell to An San.
He is smart enough, but he is not good at running. Even if he is eloquent, he will still be beaten before he can escape.
If I were to be caught by the people from the Yongyu Marquis's Mansion by accident, not being able to get any information would be a small matter. But I don't want to crawl back here covered in injuries.
It would be good for him to learn a few skills to escape.
But after this incident, the rewards for his tasks must be increased accordingly and cannot be perfunctory.
Otherwise, with An San's mouth, who knows what he would do to her behind her back.
If that doesn’t work, just spend more money to appease her.
Liu Wancai, Liu Wancai, he is probably the person who loves money the most in the world. The best way to deal with him is to use money.
Yuan Qing returned to his room, took out the small notebook and flipped forward, stopping at the place marked with the number two.
There is no progress on the third brother's matter, so we can put it aside for the time being. The key is the second brother's side.
Soon, she will be returning to Beijing in a special way, and I cannot let her down, so I have to make preparations early.
The second child was the first woman she took in.
I first met her in Xuzhou.
It was the middle of winter, and the biting north wind wrapped in ice and snow blew on people's faces like knives.
She and Ayi were walking on the road, leading their horses. They were about to go into Xuzhou City to stay overnight to rest, but they saw a thin and skinny figure huddled against the city wall, with only a single piece of clothing to keep warm.
She took the cloak from the horse and put it on the woman.
Gradually, the woman seemed to regain consciousness. She lay back in the snow and dug around tremblingly. All ten of her fingers were frozen, but she still refused to stop.
The soldier who was guarding the city came over wrapped in a cotton coat and glanced at the woman. "Don't waste your energy, the two of you. This woman is crazy. She won't listen to anyone. When it snows, she will go outside to dig snow. No one can stop her."
Yuan Qing also stood up and stuffed his hands into his sleeves to keep warm. "Are we just going to watch her freeze to death?"
"How can that be possible?" the soldier sighed. "When she faints from the cold, our brothers on duty here will send her home and let others help warm her up and clean her up, and she will be fine."
He stamped his feet and shook off the snow on his body.
"She was a poor woman after all. Her husband died in the snow for unknown reasons, and she has been insane ever since. She gets sick in the winter, especially on snowy days. She is usually quite sane, and can make a living with her delicate needlework. With the help of her neighbors, she can get by like this."
She and Ayi brought the people into the city.
The knock on the door brought her back to her senses. Yuan Qing hid the book and said, "Come in."
Chunxue brought the tea into the room, replaced the cold tea on the table, and then turned around and went out.
Yuan Qing sat at the table with his head down and remained silent, but in fact he was always paying attention to her.
I don't know if it's because she just arrived, or if this is just her nature, but apart from what I tell her to do every day, she doesn't care about or pay attention to anything else. It seems like she really just regards herself as an ordinary maid, rather than a spy sent in by Wen Chengxuan.
The rules made her a little confused.
Yuan Qing smiled and did not comment on her for the time being.
Over time, you will eventually see people's true colors.
Then his eyes continued to fall on the notebook.
The Yongyu Marquis' Mansion was also Wen Chengxuan's minion, which she learned from the original book.
In this world, people despise the character and deeds of the second master of the Xie family, but have never doubted his stance.
The Xie family is also a family of meritorious service. The eldest uncle of the Xie family was engaged to the second son. After he urgently dispatched troops to Xuzhou many years ago, he never returned.
The team of more than a dozen people was trapped in the snow and wind and couldn't find a way out. The prefect of Xuzhou waited and waited, but no news came. Instead, he met a secret agent from Liang State, who had his throat cut on the spot.
Not only did the prefect lose his life, but hundreds of people in the prefecture also died in that snowy night.
Hundreds of soldiers defending Xuzhou fought bloody battles and finally received reinforcements ten days later.
The first to arrive was Duke Rong.
He was an old friend of the prefect of Xuzhou and they often exchanged letters. He keenly sensed that the situation had changed, so he personally led a team of people to Xuzhou.
Duke Rong was deprived of his military power because he sent troops out without authorization. It was at that time that Wen Chengyao was sent to Ningzhou to replace Duke Rong in charge of the 100,000 Ningzhou troops.
She thought that Emperor Yuan Heng might not only be wary of the fact that Duke Rong controlled a large army, but he might also be afraid of him.
After all, "Rong" is the surname of the royal family of Liang State.
Following closely were the Dragon Scale Guards led by Senior He Feng himself.
They learned from the survivors that General Xie was plotting treason and had personally led Liang's secret agents into the city and killed the entire family of the prefect.
This matter was of no small importance, so He Feng did not act rashly. He first sent an urgent message back to the capital to request His Majesty's approval.
Emperor Yuanheng issued an imperial decree, requiring him to "see his body if alive or his corpse if dead."
He Feng, who had a deep understanding of Emperor Yuan Heng's nature, immediately understood what His Majesty meant.
This is going to be a fatal blow.
Regardless of whether Xie Zhixiao was wronged or still alive, he must be a speechless dead man when he returns to Beijing.
He Feng hesitated for the first time.
