Xiangping Prefecture.

It is a very inconspicuous house with tall walls, but it is extremely simple. The gray stone bricks reveal the dilapidation of the past.

But entering the courtyard, there is a completely different world.

Pavilions, arched bridges, flowing water, and exotic flowers and plants are just like Jiangnan gardens, with exquisite elegance everywhere.

In a luxuriously furnished hall, Magistrate Hu was dressed in official uniform, kneeling on the ground with fear and sweating profusely.

He was already in his forties, well-groomed, elegant and polite, but at this time he was completely devoid of any politeness and was bursting with tears.

"Master Marquis, how dare you, this official, to forget your wealth and do such things as stabbing you in the back? I don't dare to give this official a hundred courage to kill your men and steal your money..."

Marquis Yongping is in his fifties, lean and bearded. Although he is a civil servant and looks upright, his eyes are like those of a tiger or a wolf, with a sinister and terrifying look.

He gritted his teeth and looked at the man kneeling on the ground, wishing he could chop him with a knife, eat his flesh and drink his blood.

He had been planning carefully for a long time. He had to give a reasonable explanation to the emperor, he had to deal with the political opponents who were eyeing him from all walks of life, and he had to take into account his overall situation.

He thought he had made a complete plan, just waiting to take advantage of the night to kill all those who stood in his way to wealth, and then transport countless gold, silver and jewels out of Xiangping Mansion, and deliver them to the capital without anyone noticing.

Pinghou Mansion.

But he waited all night in the annex of Magistrate Hu, but did not wait for his subordinates to give him a safe letter.

In the end, the news came that all the dead soldiers were killed and the Chen Mansion was looted!

The one who played with the hawk was pecked in the eye by the hawk!

Yongping Hou stood up suddenly and asked fiercely, "You know this and I know it. If you weren't behind it, who else could it be? Who else could kill people under the nose of your magistrate Hu, and empty out so many treasures?"

Got it!"

Magistrate Hu couldn't explain clearly, but the carriages and horses transporting the treasure were allowed to leave the city overnight by his confidants.

They thought those carriages and horses belonged to Marquis Yongping!

"Master Marquis, you know how much your subordinates weigh, but how can you be so capable of killing your heroes? Master Marquis, think about it, are you being targeted by someone in the capital?"

Marquis Yongping paced back and forth.

Although he hated Magistrate Hu for this matter, he also knew that he did not have that much courage or ability. Those killers had been carefully trained by him for many years, and they were all very skilled. Not ordinary people could kill them all quietly.

of.

And if Magistrate Hu wants money, he can buy it from all the shops in the Chen Mansion and it will be enough for him to have a full meal.

So, who is it?

Marquis Yongping thought about all the officials and forces in the court and roughly selected a few people. He only waited to find out in detail after returning to Beijing.

If this matter is leaked, the consequences will be disastrous. And Chen Youning who escaped is the biggest hidden danger.

He stood still in front of Magistrate Hu, "The eldest lady of the Chen family will not disappear out of thin air. Even if I have to dig three feet into the ground, I will find him. If I want to see him alive, I will see his body if he dies!"

It's okay if the money is gone. If Chen Youning doesn't die, the wealth and wealth within reach will be gone!

Magistrate Hu repeated his promise and got up from the ground, "I'll go and do it now!"

Marquis Yongping looked at Magistrate Hu gloomily, "Watch your mouth, be careful of trouble coming out of your mouth."

"I understand!"

Magistrate Hu retreated tremblingly.

Marquis Yongping clenched his fists tightly, suppressing his anger and forcing himself to calm down. He, Wen Boshi, always took one step at a time and looked at ten steps, so how could he let this change mess up his position.

He squeezed his fist again and again, and finally couldn't help but hit several cases hard, his silver! Silver!

The duck that reached his mouth just flew away, how could he swallow this breath!

--

Han Youning and the other three headed north and arrived at Luping Mansion at noon on the third day.

The journey was relatively safe. Presumably Marquis Yongping had not found her trace yet, or maybe he was tripped by the man in black.

Luping Mansion is located in the north of Xiangping Mansion, close to the Zhan'an River waterway, which connects the north and the south. It has prosperous commerce and many escort agencies.

There is a large escort agency in the prosperous area of ​​Fucheng, Wei Xing Escort Agency. The front door is majestic, and even the handymen act like they are practicing family members.

In the previous life, after Yu Niang died, it was the escorts from the Wei Xing Escort Bureau who saved Han Youning. They picked up the escorts going to the capital, and happened to encounter Han Youning in distress on the way. After saving her, they took her along with them, which was like having one more person.

dart.

The receptionist was a modest and polite middle-aged man who called himself Zhang and was a steward.

He could tell at a glance that Han Youning was the master.

The girl has a pretty face and a pair of beautiful eyes. Even if a man disguises himself as a woman, he can't cover up much of her color. When out and about, a girl who is too good-looking is most likely to cause trouble.

He smiled and asked Han Youning, "I wonder what kind of goods the young master wants to escort? Where to send them?"

Yu Niangmei smiled and sat down next to Manager Zhang, "We, mother and son, are going to visit relatives in the capital. We are afraid that the road will be unsafe, so please ask your bodyguard to escort us there."

Manager Zhang glanced at them again calmly, "The rules of the Wei Xing Escort Agency are that when accepting a escort's business, you must first ask a few questions. What are your identities? Are there any enemies who are chasing you? Who are your enemies?"

Han Youning didn't know they still had this rule. Lu Qi and the others didn't ask about this back then.

These three questions cannot be answered truthfully. Although the Wei Xing Escort Agency has a reputation of being chivalrous and righteous, it is connected with officials and bandits. The people in the Escort Agency are also a mixed bag, and their whereabouts will be leaked if they are not careful.

Yu Niang reached out to touch Manager Zhang's hand, but suddenly realized that Han Youning reminded her that she was a woman from a good family.

She retracted her hand stiffly, took a sip of tea, and then suppressed her restless hands, "Oh, we orphans and widowers can have any enemies. It's just that the road is far away, and I'm afraid there will be bandits on the road. What's the origin?

, we are just ordinary people, you won’t recognize us even if we say it.”

Manager Zhang smiled and said, "Young people can't afford to hire an escort agency. The cost of escorting someone to the capital can range from five hundred taels to tens of thousands of taels. During this period, you have to take care of the escort's accommodation, transportation, transportation, and transportation, which costs a lot of money."

ah."

Yuniang snorted, "Manager Zhang doesn't want to be a dog-eye... Ahem, you can see people through the cracks in the door. There are also rich people who rise from ordinary people to ordinary people. Our master left early, and our orphans and widowed mothers suffered all the tricks of the second brother-in-law. Our lives are gone.

Otherwise, why would I go to live with my relatives so far away..."

Manager Zhang smiled and said nothing.

The meaning is very obvious, if you don't tell your whereabouts to your enemy, you won't accept escorts.

Han Youning asked, "I wonder if Mr. Lu is in the escort agency now?"

Manager Zhang pointed out the window. In the courtyard, there was a burly man with a beard on his face, shirtless, waving a big knife in his hand, sweating profusely.

"That's him. Do you recognize him, young master?"

Han Youning was puzzled. The Lu Qi she recognized was an imposing man with a handsome appearance and a dash of elegance in his chivalrous demeanor.

That Lu Qi was flying the flag of the Wei Xing Escort Agency all the way. The escort flag was gold on a black background, exactly the same as the one hanging at the door of their Escort Agency.

She praised, "I heard from a friend that your escort agency has a majestic escort chief. When I saw him today, he really lived up to his reputation."

She turned her eyes and saw a tall, middle-aged man with a resolute appearance outside the door of the living room. His eyes were bright and restrained, and he was talking in a low voice to an escort.
