Xin Bai Xu: The Romance of the New Moon - Chapter 12 - Survive the thrills by outsmarting them(1/3)

Xiaoshan saw Gu'an and wanted to tell the whole story.

"Let's talk about it when we get back to the mansion. Let's go." Gu'an stopped him and pulled him back to Xu's mansion.

study.

Xiaoshan told what happened just now.

"You really overestimated Liang Shenglin. He couldn't wait for three days. Not to mention how dangerous it was just now. Qingyue was almost killed by him... Fortunately, his house was on fire, otherwise I really wanted to rush out and kill him.

This bastard. But it’s strange how it suddenly caught fire? It must have been God’s help and deliberately set the fire.” Xiao Shan said angrily.

"Haha." Gu'an couldn't help laughing.

"Why are you laughing? Could it be that you set the fire?"

"Do you really think God is here to help you? You go in with your front foot, and Liang Shenglin comes with your back foot. Of course I have to find a way to get him to go back obediently, otherwise there will definitely be a fight with your temper. I'm not worried about you getting hurt, I'm just afraid that you will

Injuring innocent people.”

"Oh, you boy, it turns out that the young master of the official family also sets wildfires? Why don't you set off a few more fires and burn his house down to nothing? How can he marry Qingyue without a new house?"

"If it's all burned down, wouldn't it become a case that keeps rising again and again? As long as this fire can lead him back, it's enough. What I care about is people's safety."

"You are really smart. You are a scholar and you think more carefully than I do. Alas, whose safety do you care about? Aren't you afraid that he will succeed? Hurry and get real."

"With you, the young master of the escort agency, inside, what should I be afraid of? By the way, how is Qingyue? Is she okay?"

"It's really for her, so you admit it."

"Say it quickly."

"If you still don't admit it, then I won't say it anymore. It would be nonsense anyway." Xiao Shan pretended to be serious.

"Just tell me quickly, I have so many ideas."

"Qingyue, she is in such a miserable state." Xiaoshan said deliberately.

"What's wrong with her?" Gu'an asked nervously.

"Look at how nervous you are. Of course she's fine as long as I'm here, but she was a little frightened, and everyone else is fine too. By the way, she asked me to tell you not to let her father know, for fear that something might happen to him."

After hearing this, Gu'an thought...

"How about it, do you have any idea? I think it's better to ask Uncle Shilin for help. I'll sue him for forcibly marrying a common girl and punish him."

"No, I have to solve this matter myself." Gu An said firmly.

The next day, Xiaoshan went to the door of Liang Mansion early in the morning to observe Liang Shenglin's movements. There was a fire in Liang Mansion last night, and craftsmen were sent to repair it. Liang Shenglin took two people out, and Xiaoshan followed him all the way to the door opened by Liang's family.

When the banker saw him entering, he immediately went to tell Gu'an.

Gu'an went to the yamen early in the morning and found Li Gongfu's subordinate Gao Captou and told him the whole story. Gao Captou had watched Gu'an grow up since he was a child, and because of Li Gongfu's reputation, he agreed to help immediately.

After learning that Liang Shenglin was out, they took people to the Liang Mansion, while Xiaoshan went to inquire outside the gate of Xiuzhuang.

Liang Mansion.

"Madam, Madam, Chief Gao is here with his people." A servant announced.

"They must be here to ask about the incident last night. Ask them to wait in the hall. I'll be right away."

"yes!"

After a while, Mrs. Liang came to the hall.

"Captain Gao, what brought you here today? Sit down." She greeted, and the maid beside her served tea.

"Mrs. Liang, you know that I don't go to the Three Treasures Palace for anything. I heard that there was water in your house last night, but you didn't report it to the official. This is not a small matter.

I came here specially to take a look and find out the reason for the water leakage."

"Trouble Gao arrests the head. There is no reason. The servant accidentally knocked over the candle and burned it. At that time, it was saved and the servant was punished.

Seeing that nothing happens, I won't disturb the officials." Mrs. Liang agreed. Although Mrs. Liang was over the middle of her life and widowed, it seemed to be a rule.

She is a well-behaved woman, but she is also shrewd and eloquent. She has an uncle who works in the Ministry of Justice in the capital and the grudge between Liang Mingming and Shi Lin, so she has never been afraid of people from the government.

My husband is so greedy and evil, he just wants to protect himself.

"How can this be a disturbance? The government should care about the people's property from being harmed, and should serve the people's safety. Mrs. Liang, you are too

You're welcome."

"On weekdays, officials are busy with the common people's affairs, which is tiring enough. We can solve such trivial matters by ourselves, so we are embarrassed to bother anymore. Officials serve the people, and the people must protect them.

Sir, do you think so?" Mrs. Liang deliberately tried to please him, hoping that he would leave quickly.

"Yes, thank you very much for Mrs. Liang's consideration. Hey, my house is decorated with red silk. Is there going to be a happy event?" Gao Captou looked around and said.

"In three days, it will be my son's big day. I was about to invite Capt. Gao and the magistrate to have a wedding drink. It just so happens that you are here today." Mrs. Liang changed her mind.

"Then I really have to congratulate you, madam. Your young master is young and talented, so he will definitely marry a beautiful and virtuous daughter-in-law, right? I wonder which girl is so lucky?" He asked deliberately.

"He is the head of the embroidery shop at the entrance of West Street Hutong. I'm not kidding you, a wealthy family like ours should marry a well-matched daughter, but my son fell in love with her at first sight and liked her very much.

I insisted on marrying him, and I asked him to take him in as a child, but he still didn't want to. I had no choice but to accept him, because I only have a son like this."

"Yes, the hearts of parents in the world. Are you talking about Miss Lu Qingyue from Luji Embroidery Village?" Gao Captou asked.

"Yes, that's her. I heard from Matchmaker Zhang that the girl is pretty good-looking, delicate and delicate, but she has a bit of arrogance in her bones. I have to behave well for her after she gets out of the house, but she can't show her arrogance here."

"Oh, I can't marry you," Capt. Gao said immediately.

"Why?" Mrs. Liang asked in surprise.

"If you don't tell me today, I don't know. But since you have said it, I must tell you that you will never marry her."

"Why did Gao Captou say this?"

"This..., I can't say, after all, it is people's privacy." Capt. Gao pretended to be embarrassed.

"It's about a child, please tell me the truth. I won't tell anyone."

"This...? Okay then. Miss Lu is good at everything, but her life is not good. Kefu, whoever marries whomever will be unlucky."

"What? Is this really happening?" After hearing this, Mrs. Liang's smiling face instantly turned green.

"Of course. Her family used to live at the foot of Chenghuang Mountain, in the same village as my nephew. Last year, my nephew also fell in love with her, and asked people to go to matchmakers, and even used the hour horoscope to make a match. This pair

Yes, come on, it’s amazing. The master in the temple said that this girl is ill-fated, Kefu. At first, my nephew ignored him and insisted on marrying her. Later, my sister-in-law went to inquire about it and found out that this girl Qingyue had been with him before.

We were married since we were young, but my husband fell ill and died when he was 16. My sister-in-law was so frightened that she refused to let my nephew marry her. She was causing trouble at home.

The nephew couldn't resist his mother, so he gave up. Seeing that they could no longer stay in the village, the Lu family moved to the city. Fortunately, Miss Qingyue had good embroidery skills and was able to make ends meet. Such a good girl happened to be a

It's such a pity that Mr. Kefu was killed. There was a flood in your house yesterday for no reason. I'm afraid it was an omen. With your usual care for our brothers in the Yamen, I can't just ignore it now. I can't watch my son being raped by her.

Let Ke die."

"I really don't listen and don't know. It's scary to think about it. No wonder I got away with it yesterday. It turns out that's the case. It's absolutely impossible. Come on, please take off all these red jokes and happy words for me." She said.

As she spoke, she gave instructions. Mrs. Liang also believed in ghosts and gods and worshiped Bodhisattva. When Gao Captou said this, she felt a hair in her heart. She would rather her son blame her than let anything happen to her son.

"Madam, you are busy. I will take my leave now. I have to go somewhere else to see. Please don't reveal what I told you."

"I know, so I won't keep you here. Thank you Gao for telling me. You really saved my son's life. I'll come and say thank you another day."

"If it's anything, I should. If you don't want to send me off, please stay." Gao Captou led the people out of Liang Mansion. In the distance, Gu'an waved to him, and Gao Captou walked over.

"I frightened her. Mrs. Liang is a superstitious person. After hearing my words, she was so frightened that she asked someone to take off the red satin and the word "happy" on the spot. It seems that she will definitely not agree to this marriage. You

Just don't worry." Gao Captou said in a low voice.

"Thank you, Uncle Gao, and thank you also for Qingyue."

"We are all our own people. It's easy to say. I'll leave first. You come here to play often." As he said this, Gao Captou led the others away.

"I know, go away, Uncle Gao." Gu'an showed a proud smile, and he immediately went to Xiuzhuang.

"Madam, please take off the red silk and the words "happy". If the young master comes back and sees it, he will be unhappy. Are you really not going to let him get married?" said the maid Juan'er.

"What do you know? People who are high-ranking officers won't say that for no reason. I can't make fun of my son's life. How can I be worthy of the master?"

If you are worthy of the ancestors of the Liang family, you would rather believe that they have something than something that they don’t have."

"Then what if the young master comes back and starts making trouble?"

"It's better to let him make trouble than to be killed by that woman. Anyway, I won't agree to it. I'll just find a suitable match for him in the future. Hurry up."

Go and ask someone to bring the young master back, go." Mrs. Liang ordered.

"Yes, ma'am."

Xiuzhuang

"Young Master, Young Master." Liang Shenglin was about to enter the embroidery village. The servant caught up with him and whispered a few words in his ear, and then he went back home in disappointment. Xiao Shan had been watching nearby and saw that Liang Shenglin did not enter the embroidery village.

Zhuang was feeling strange when Gu'an arrived and patted him.

"Now that you're here, everything has been settled?" Xiaoshan asked.

"done."

"How did it go? It seems that there was something going on, and he didn't even bother to enter the embroidery village, so he just left."
