Poor Family

"what happened?!"

A middle-aged man who seemed to be in charge came out from the back door with a few strong men, and when he saw the dead Sun Qizheng, his complexion suddenly changed.

The old man at Pojiao shook his head: "I don't know, I heard the noise and came out to check, and then saw the person lying on the ground, the blood was still hot, and he had just died not long ago."

The steward squatted down to check Sun Qizheng's wound, and then quickly looked around.

Nothing unusual, no trace of being impressed!

The steward's expression was serious, Sun Qi was a ninth-rank master, what kind of person could kill a ninth-rank master quietly? !

"Carry people into the yard first."

The steward ordered his subordinates to carry the body away, and then stared straight at the time written in blood on the ground.

What was Sun Qi trying to tell them?

"Clean up the blood and words on the ground, so that no one can see anything strange."

The old man at Pojiao nodded in response, and said puzzledly: "A few days ago, I received a letter from Sun Qizheng, saying that he returned to the capital in the past two days. He should have just arrived in the capital today. Why was he killed? I didn't hear that he was in the capital. Do you have enemies?"

The steward pondered and said: "Sun Qi was introduced by the head of the Tianbo Sect. Only the head of the Tianbo Sect knows about him. This matter has to be reported to the Elder."

The old man at Pojiao didn't say much, and started to clean up the alley, while the steward returned to the yard. After a while, he changed his clothes and went out from the front door of the yard.

Shi Fuxin 'watched' this scene, and quietly followed the steward, and not long after, she saw the steward enter the mansion of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Gu's family.

Gu Jia, Tianbomen

Shi Fuxin looked solemn, there were not many people with the surname Shi in the capital, and they came from the northwest, the Gu family would definitely lock Wuchangbo Mansion soon.

"Six hours!"

Just when Shi Fuxin was thinking about how to solve this trouble, a surprised voice came from behind.

time willow

Images from the previous life reappeared in Shi Fuxin's mind, and when she turned her head, she saw Chu Yao and his number one younger brother Meng Moling.

"Why are you here?!"

Chu Yao raised his eyebrows and looked at Shi Fuxin: "We should be the ones asking you this, right? Your new store opened, and you didn't watch it in the store, why did you come here?"

As he spoke, he glanced at the Gu Mansion not far from across the street.

"Also, you are fast enough. Two quarters of an hour ago, you were still on Chang'an Avenue, but now you have come to Dongshi."

Facing Chu Yao, Shi Fuxin didn't dare to be careless, and said with a smile, "I saw an acquaintance just now, and I chased him over. Who knows, I made a mistake. I'm going back to Chang'an Avenue now."

Chu Yao smiled, "Really?"

Shi Fuxin nodded her head sincerely: "Of course it's true. You all know that my shop has just opened, so you can't leave me. I have to go back to take charge of the overall situation, so I'll go first."

Saying that, he smiled and ran away.

Looking at the back of Shi Fuxin going away, Chu Yao looked at Gu's mansion with a somewhat ambiguous expression.

Recently, there have been some problems in the appointment and dispatch of some officials. He had just set his sights on Gu Guoliang, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and before he took any action, he met Shi Liu first.

What is that girl doing here?

He didn't believe that he had met an acquaintance.

"Go, let someone check to see if anything happened in the Gu residence today?"

Gu Fu.

Gu Shangshu heard what the steward reported and knew that Sun Qizheng was dead, so he was both surprised and regretful.

It's hard to find the guards of ninth-rank masters!

After practicing martial arts to the ninth rank, no matter how generous the reward is, very few people are willing to serve as guards for others.

Sun Qi was introduced by his daughter's master, the head of the Tianbo Sect, and he was relatively at ease with a ninth-rank expert guarding his safety.

Although the emperor said that it has been five years since he ascended the throne, and the overall situation in court has stabilized on the surface, there are still many undercurrents in the dark.

As the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, he is in charge of the evaluation and promotion of officials, so he will inevitably offend some people, and it is not impossible for those people to take risks and buy murder to deal with him.

"Sun Qizheng is dead, I have to talk to the head of the Tianbo Sect and ask him to introduce another ninth-rank guard."

Gu Guoliang obviously cared about his own safety.

"hour"

Gu Guoliang murmured the word: "Sun Qi is leaving a time word, what do you want to say?"

The steward said at the right time: "Sun Qi is from the northwest. If it is a vendetta, then his enemy should also be from the northwest."

Gu Guoliang understood the steward's prompt: "You mean the Shi family in Wuchang uncle's mansion?"

After Wu Changbo found out about the wrong son in his arms, he made a lot of jokes.

Thinking of Shi Dingxuan who was the imperial bodyguard in the palace, Gu Guoliang had no intention of avenging Sun Qizheng or anything.

Just a guard, no need to make enemies.

However, he still ordered the steward to inform the head of the Tianbo Sect about Sun Qizheng's death, and he didn't bother to take care of what the head of the Tianbo Sect would do.

In the suburbs of Beijing, Zhuhai Villa.

Yue Wu, head of the Tianbo Sect, received the news from Gu's family, his brows became pimples, and he went to Duke Qing's mansion that night.

"Master, Sun Qi, who was sent to Gu Guoliang's side, is dead!"

It was rumored that Mrs. Qing Guogong, who was mad, shot her eyes like sharp knives at Le Wu who was kneeling on one knee: "How did he die? He is a ninth-rank master!"

Yue Wu lowered his head and said: "The cause of death is unknown, but Sun Qizheng left a word of time before his death. My subordinates guessed that he should mean the Shi family of Wuchang uncle's mansion."

Mrs. Qing's wife narrowed her eyes: "It's the Wuchang uncle's mansion again."

Thinking of Shi Dingxuan and Shi Fuyin who ruined her overall plan during the Yongdingmen riot and caused the death of their father Chu Hu, Mrs. Qing was very angry.

"Sun Qizheng's death, you should send someone to investigate. No matter whether it is related to the Wuchang uncle's mansion or not, they are secretly keeping an eye on the Shi family of the Wuchang uncle's mansion.

Le Wu nodded and quietly retreated.

Confidante smiles.

On the first day the store opened, it exploded with anger.

Shi Dinghao occupied the position at the counter, flipped through the ledger, moved the abacus, his eyes narrowed into slits with a smile, and he was counting how much money he earned today.

Shi Fuyin was also busy, busy ordering the buddies and maids to replenish the goods.

Shi Fuxin stood aside with a smile, watching her sister and brother busy.

It wasn't until the beginning of Haishi (21:00) that the two of them finished their work.

"Sister, Jiulang, let's go back."

The three siblings got into the carriage, and in the carriage, Shi Fuxin told about the encounter with Sun Qizheng today.

Shi Dinghao looked surprised: "Have you come to the capital so soon?"

Shi Fuxin: "His injuries haven't healed yet, he should have come to the capital to recuperate." She said, looking at her elder sister and younger brother, "In the future, let's pay more attention to our family members."

Shi Fuyin's expression was serious, she looked at Shi Fuxin: "I talked with Miss Lu today, do you know how she was disfigured?"

Shi Fuxin nodded: "I know."

Lu Jingshu is the former oiran of the Liyuan, and her personnel relationship must be complicated. If she wants to use her products to promote Confidante, she must investigate the person clearly.

"Lu Jingshu's face was ruined by Qing Guogong's concubine tricks because she fell in love with Qing Guogong."

If Lu Jingshu had feuds with other high-ranking officials, she might not use her, but in Duke Qing's mansion, she didn't have to worry too much.

Shi Fuyin sighed: "The relationship between our family and Duke Qing's mansion is getting deeper and deeper."

Shi Fuxin's expression was indifferent: "Anyway, I have already given up on it, so it doesn't matter if there is one more thing."
