The matter was settled for the time being.

***

The guard leader and dozens of guards stood like statues outside the door of Lao Xu's house for two days.

His behavior was also very polite. He had been hungry all day and did not move. He did not look for food or rush Liao Qing.

Just stood there motionless.

At first glance, they look like a group of elite soldiers who have received hard training.

Lao Xu's family couldn't stand it, so Xu Zhang steamed some more steamed buns and distributed some to them. They accepted, but gave Xu Zhang a silver tael.

I was given ten taels of silver for a steamer of steamed buns. If Mrs. Xu Zhang didn't keep it, they wouldn't accept it.

Mrs. Xu Zhang's impression of them changed slightly, and she steamed a few more baskets for them.

Xu Jiaojiao and Liao Qing thought carefully for two days and decided to visit Du's house.

"Anyway, we plan to go to Beijing to study in the next two days and catch up with the exam. We can also stop by Du's house to check out the situation. With their attitude, it's probably impossible if you don't go to Beijing. Everything has already happened. Let's stay here any longer.

The countryside is not safe. If someone has ill intentions towards you and wants to attack us, it is more convenient in the countryside. Just escaping is not the solution to the problem," Xu Jiaojiao said.

Liao Qing nodded, "Since I'm going, I'll be ready to settle down before we talk."

Xu Jiaojiao said, "The affairs of my wine shop are almost over. We don't need to worry about it. Second brother and fifth brother can handle it. We exchange letters once a month. If there are urgent letters, we can use carrier pigeons to send them."

Before going to Beijing, I was thinking about whether I should say goodbye to the head escort Deng. I should also inform the Hui Chun Hall and the He Family Trading Company. I should also write a letter to my adoptive father, and He Yanxi and the others... you

Let’s see if there are any other arrangements?”

"My lady has thought everything through, you can just arrange it."

Xu Jiaojiao added, "Your master, Mr. Deng, has been a bodyguard in the capital for many years. He must be familiar with the area in the capital. Let's ask your master to help us look at a house in the capital first. Then we will have a certain level of advance and retreat, so that we won't be in trouble."

Too passive."

Money is an external thing, but it is absolutely impossible to live without money.

I don’t know what the Du family’s water situation is, so I first bought a house in the capital to have a place to live.

When the time comes, it would be best if Feng Ming can live in his own home and not go to Du Mansion to make trouble.

Liao Qing said, "Okay, my master and his escort agency have carrier pigeons that can fly pigeons to deliver messages. Even if he doesn't go to the capital, he still has good communication with the capital. It should be possible to entrust him to look after the house."

The next step is to arrange various matters.

Although he had made plans, Liao Qing did not easily agree to the guard leader and negotiated terms with him.

"You can go if you want. I want to talk to Liao Changsheng alone. I see that his condition is not very good. I need to understand the reason why he is like this."

The main thing is to ask about the basic situation of the Du family so that he can be mentally prepared.

The leader of the guards was silent for a moment, "Okay, but Liao Changsheng has returned to the capital. He is not in good health and must go to the capital for medical treatment. Young Master, if you have anything to ask, you can ask me directly, or you can go to the capital.

I will arrange for you to meet again."

This is quite frank, but why didn't Liao Changsheng be left alone to talk to them before?

After all, I still want Liao Qing to go to the Du family in the capital.

"Okay then, please tell us about the situation of your Du family. We will have a good idea."

Xu Jiaojiao was also nearby, and the leader of the guards looked hesitant.

"This is my wife. If I want to go to the capital, my wife will go with me. If you have any questions, please tell me. We are husband and wife and there is nothing to hide."

A strange look flashed in the eyes of the leader of the guards, and then he said, "Young Master, what do you want to know? Which aspect?"

Xu Jiaojiao smiled and said, "In all aspects, please tell me in detail, Commander, how many people are there in the family, how many generations are there, Mr. Du's current official position, who is the current wife, what is the background of the wife's natal family, and how many generations are there?"

I would like to tell you everything you can about the young master, how many ladies, how many servants, even what the property is, and what the financial situation is. I'm sorry for bothering you."

Immediately, the guard leader stopped his casual contempt for Xu Jiaojiao.

Can an ordinary village girl in this country be so shrewd and powerful?

Looking at her carefully, I recalled that from the first time I met her, this girl had always been calm and clear, with a smile on her face and no emotions. When he told Liao Qing's true identity, everyone was stunned.

She was so shocked that this girl didn't seem to have any.

Either he has facial paralysis, or he is someone who controls his emotions to the maximum, so he can be so calm and calm.

This young couple does not look like ordinary country people!

With her self-cultivation and magnanimity alone, she is more classy than any lady from our company.

A person with deep thoughts and far-sighted plans is not someone who can be deceived, nor is he easy to play tricks.

Because there was a precedent of Liao Changsheng, the guard leader thought that Liao Qing was just a country man, similar to Liao Changsheng, a shallow person with no connotation, short knowledge, and a temper that was startled and unstable.

.

Unexpectedly, his understanding was broken again and again.

Under the intense gaze of the two people, he explained everything he could in detail.

Finally, Xu Jiaojiao asked, "Chief Guard, how did Liao Changsheng's parents die?"

The leader of the guards was silent for a moment, "Thanks to you two for your respect, just call me Guard Hu. You may not believe it, but Liao Changsheng's parents hanged themselves. Because Liao Changsheng pretended to be the son of the Du family and was greedy for glory.

Hua Fugui, the two elders were worried day and night. Later, Liao Changsheng's identity was suspected and his health was not good. The two elders went to expose Liao Changsheng, and then hanged themselves in front of the Du family, begging the Du family to let Liao Changsheng live..."

Xu Jiaojiao sighed in her heart.

This is really evil!

She had met the two old couples of the Liao family. They were a very friendly old couple who bought their land at that time.

Not only did they say that they were old enough to have children, but Liao Changsheng was still prosperous outside and wanted to take them out to enjoy the blessings. Even if they were reluctant to part with their family property, a few acres of land, they happily sold it and went out to find their sons.

As a result, the old couple went through so much torture that they couldn't bear to think about it and died in a foreign country.

Liao Qing also looked moved, not knowing what he was thinking.

Everything that needed to be understood was understood clearly, and there was no further delay. Everything was done one by one, and we were ready to leave for the capital.

Even if no one from the Du family comes, Xu Jiaojiao and Liao Qing still have to go to the capital to study and take the exam. Now that the Du family is here to pick them up, they don't have to worry about finding carriages and horses. There are dedicated people all the way to the capital.
