Chapter 42 Liu Mansion

After Nalanjing took care of Landlord Liu's injuries, he reminded him that he would need to take medicine for follow-up treatment and try to stay in bed to recuperate and avoid involving the wounds.

She took the token and left the yard, followed the location provided by Landlord Liu, and went straight to the guard chief's bedroom.

She waited inside for more than half an hour before she heard footsteps coming in.

Zhuang Bing was once a horse bandit, and he was seriously injured during a court crackdown. Liu Bowen passed by on business and rescued him, gave him a new identity, and allowed him to stay in the Liu Mansion as a guard.

Zhuang Bing missed Liu Bowen's kindness and voluntarily signed the deed of betrayal. Liu Bowen gradually trusted him and entrusted the safety of Liu Mansion to his hands.

Born as a horse bandit, his martial arts and vigilance were not low. After entering the house, he noticed someone behind him and immediately raised his hand to attack him.

Nalanjing didn't move, the dagger passed through his palm and was aimed at his chest.

Zhuang Bing didn't dare to move for a moment.

A faint smile appeared on Nalanjing's lips: "My skills are good, but I am too confident. If I want to kill you, this dagger will be inserted into your heart."

Zhuang Bing stared at her with raised eyebrows, unable to guess the woman's motives for a moment.

After Nalanjing put away the dagger, he threw out the token in his hand.

Zhuang Bing reached out and took the token, staring at her with vigilant eyes.

Nalan Jing's eyes were calm and he said calmly: "Landlord Liu asked me to bring you a message, asking you to bring someone you trust with you to go to his yard at the end of the day to protect him and kill the thieves."

Zhuang Bing looked in disbelief: "Master, are you awake?"

When Liu Bowen's accident happened, he happened to be outside. When he came back, he heard Liu Yan going back to his house and having a quarrel with Liu Bowen. Liu Yan stabbed Liu Bowen.

He hurried back and saw a group of doctors surrounding Liu Bowen for treatment. Liu Bi told him that Liu Yan was bewitched by the two farm men and murdered Liu Bowen for the sake of the Liu family's wealth.

Zhuang Bing didn't believe that Liu Yan would do such a thing, but it was true that Liu Yan quarreled with Liu Bowen over the farm boy, and that there was a estrangement between father and son. Liu Bi asked him to take people with him to the gate of Qingshan Academy to catch the two farm boys. He hurriedly

I took people there to find out what was going on.

When he returned to the mansion, things seemed to be a foregone conclusion. Liu Bowen was injured and fell into a coma, Liu Yan was imprisoned, and Liu Mansion was taken over by Liu Bi.

Zhuang Bing felt that things were not as simple as they appeared, but he had no other clues.

Liu Bi and the housekeeper were obviously on guard against him. The people guarding Liu Bowen's yard were nominally Liu's guards, but they were not under his control as the leader of the guards.

Nalanjing made a long story short and said: "He is seriously injured. Liu Bi and the housekeeper are guarding him and dare not act rashly. You pick some trustworthy people. It would be better if you can round them up and arrest them. If not, just sneak in with others."

Get close to the bedroom and protect Landlord Liu first, while I go to the government..."

Landlord Liu was a wealthy man, and there were people from the government. All she had to do was go there with Landlord Liu's token, and those people would come over as quickly as possible.

Zhuang Bing said with a ruthless face: "There is no need to notify the government yet. I will kill the thieves first and clean up the house before informing the government."

The people who were on duty in the mansion had all signed contracts of betrayal and committed the grave crime of treason. Landlord Liu had the power of life and death.

Nalan Jing said seriously: "How confident are you that you can deal with the mob led by Liu Bi and the housekeeper without notifying the government?"

Zhuang Bing said seriously: "There are thirty guards in the mansion, half of them were bribed by the housekeeper, and the other half will not betray the master. Now Liu Bi and the housekeeper don't know that the master is awake, nor do they know that I know their plot.

It is not difficult to kill a few of them while they are not paying attention, but the remaining few do not pose a threat."

Seeing that he was indeed confident, Nalanjing no longer insisted on informing the government, and asked the most important thing: "My second husband is still in the house, can you use the punishment?"

Her eyes narrowed, and a dangerous cold light flashed in her eyes.

Zhuang Bing quickly shook his head: "When Liu Bi asked me to bring the person back, he ordered the person to be imprisoned in the woodshed. I realized that the matter was not as simple as it seemed, so I hid the person without telling Liu Bi."

Although he knew that he could not hide for long, if the farmer died in Liu Bi's hands, there would be no evidence.

He originally wanted to find a place to interrogate this farmer tonight, whether they were spying on the Liu family's property and instigating Liu Yan to stab Liu Bowen, but before he could ask, Nalanjing appeared.

Nalanjing secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Rong Yu's thin body could not withstand the beating.

Rong Qian searched all over Liu Bi's yard but couldn't find Rong Yu. He was so anxious that he was sweating profusely.

In the end, only Liu Bi's bedroom was left untouched.

Rong Qian felt that someone as conceited as Liu Bi would definitely not hide the farmer he despised in his bedroom.

After suppressing the urge to go in and find someone, Rong Qian went to Zhuang Bing's yard.

He remembered who the man who attacked him at the gate of Qingshan Academy today was, Liu Mansion's head guard Zhuang Bing, whom he had met several times in Liu Mansion.

Rong Yu must have been caught in his hands. Since he was not in Liu Bi's yard, it was most likely in Zhuang Bing's yard.

Zhuang Bing's courtyard is the guard's residence, with rows of wing bedrooms inside.

Rong Qianyi didn't know where to find it for a moment. He observed secretly for a long time and finally focused on the largest bedroom in the middle, which was most likely Zhuang Bing's.

Sure enough, he saw Zhuang Bing coming out. He looked around secretly before leaving, vaguely feeling that someone must be hiding in the bedroom, most likely Rong Yu.

Finally found my second brother!

After Rong Qian was sure that Zhuang Bing had left, he rolled into the bedroom and saw a woman in the bedroom with her legs crossed and eating melon seeds.

The reason why Nalanjing didn't rush out was because he waited for Xu Shi to arrive and heard some noise from the main courtyard before looking for Rong Yu. Otherwise, it would be easy for Liu Bi and the housekeeper to notice. Once they were on guard, things would be difficult.

Solved a lot.

And her three thousand taels of silver notes can only be obtained after Landlord Liu and Zhuang Bing successfully join forces.

Seeing that she was a weak woman, Zhuang Bing told her not to go out yet, lest she be taken hostage, and he also found a lot of food to fill her stomach.

It was getting dark at this time, and the room was a little dark with coal lamps lit. I could only see the woman crossing her legs, spitting out melon seed shells, and her face could not be seen clearly.

Rong Qian was a little disappointed and wanted to get out the way he came.

The woman who was chewing melon seeds blocked the door at some point, looking at him with a smile.

Only then did Rong Qian recognize Nalan Jing. Shock and surprise flashed across his face: "Sister-in-law, it's you! How did you break into the enemy so quickly?"

Nalanjing: "..."

Nalanjing explained the matter briefly, and finally said: "Erlang is in Zhuang Bing's hands, and he didn't ask anyone to torture him. When Zhuang Bing makes a big move, we will go directly to find someone."

Rong Qian was completely relieved when he heard that Rong Yu was okay.
