Chapter 124: Obey authority in urgent matters, extra gains
Peng Yue stepped into the study, glanced around the study as usual, and then sat in the large grandmaster's chair behind the desk.
The butler followed quickly in, closed the door, and made tea for the owner.
The voice of the sentencing envoy showed unconcealable fatigue:
“What happened in the house in recent days?”
"Reply to the master, the eldest son has a letter saying that everything is well in the capital. Please read it."
"Yes."
"The young master has returned from attending the banquet held by the Prince of Yunshan County. He got furious in the martial arts arena. Well, I think some of the guards were careless and offended the young master. Two of them were maimed... Then a maid came out of his room. I've already taken care of it."
Peng Yue frowned and scolded:
"What a nonsense! Forget about other servants, my own bodyguards are not good. How can you rest assured at this critical moment? You’re so stupid! I’ll put him in confinement for two days and I’ll go find trouble for those guards!”
As for the maid, he didn't care.
The housekeeper whispered:
“Well, Madam, I’m afraid she doesn’t want the young master to be locked up...”
“He is just spoiled by his mother! A loving mother loses her son, sooner or later this kid will get into big trouble."
Peng Yue slapped the table and couldn't help but curse.
However, his background was not high, and his current position was largely due to the power of his father-in-law's family. Therefore, he never had much to do with his wife, not even taking a concubine.
The study is divided into two rooms, inside and outside, separated by door bars and screens.
Behind the screen, Xie Yuan and Situ Qin held hands tightly and stood side by side, not daring to move.
The two looked at each other and felt each other's rapidly beating pulse and thumping heartbeat through the hands they held.
It was too late to sneak out just now, so I had to sneak inside, hide behind, and use Xie Yuan's full strength to activate the Sky Hidden Technique!
Fortunately, Peng Yue didn't expect anyone to be in his study, so he was too tired to be vigilant. Xie Yuan and the other two people were eavesdropping from behind without anyone noticing.
Safe for the time being, Xie Yuan relaxed a little. After listening for a while, he smiled and mouthed:
“He is still a henpecked person.”
Situ Qin was even more so. He is bold and feels both stimulating and excited about the current situation:
“His reputation is no secret.”
The two continued to listen, and the housekeeper reported some of the family feud, and then who gave gifts, who asked for a meeting, who handed over wedding invitations, etc.
It seems that Peng Yue returned to the government after working for several days, and he has a lot to report at once. These high-ranking officials are really energetic.
Xie Yuan and Situ Qin had no choice but to listen patiently, hoping that he would finish listening and go back to rest soon.
After a while, both of them felt impatient and suddenly heard:
"...The goods sent by Yunzhao have arrived."
Peng Yue's energy was obviously higher, but his voice was still lowered:
"Have everything been put away?"
"They are all well placed in the other gardens."
Butler confirmed.
“Okay, okay, I’ll go tomorrow.”
Peng Yue's voice was filled with laughter.
Xie Yuan heard something was wrong, and then heard Peng Yue continue:
"This Yu Chunsheng has good taste. Well, he has not written again recently? Any requests can be considered "Down."
Xie Yuan's eyes widened.
This is not what you think, is it?
The wife is strong and has no concubine, so...
Fuck, no wonder Yu Chunsheng can get on this line, the ditch can reach the sky!
He looked at Situ Qin, who looked confused and searching, and gestured seriously:
"Children, don't ask too many questions!"
"Letter I just wanted to say hello, saying that the medicine I asked for last time was very effective, and his problem will be solved soon. When Yunzhao comes into his hands, he will send more good products to the master. "
The butler's voice came in.
Xie Yuan’s pupils shrank.
What a problem!
The medicine the family asked for...
Xie Yuan and Situ Qin looked at each other, both thinking of those drafts.
I’ll do some research when I get back to see what these medicines are used for, and I need to take precautions in advance!
Peng Yue's satisfied voice came:
"Well, that's good. This Yu Chunsheng is a sensible person. We can consider transferring him later. Didn't he always want to come to the state capital? ?”
“Master, he is going to enter the state capital, so he may not be able to serve you so well.”
Peng Yue seemed stunned for a moment and chuckled:
"I'm really tired and forgot about this.
"Well, let him continue to stay in Yunzhao. ”
Xie Yuan listened to the two men deciding Yu Chunsheng’s future in a few words, and he didn’t know whether he was gloating about his misfortune or what.
Although Yu Chunsheng deserved death, he still worked hard in official circles In the end, the final result was just a matter of other people's mistakes.
Did this Peng Yue let Yu Chunsheng continue to cause harm to the people in Yunzhao just to plunder the people's wealth, even virgins?
Xie Yuan's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness.
The master and servant talked for a while outside, and finally it came to an end, and the butler said goodbye and left.
Xie Yuan and Situ Qin finally breathed a sigh of relief.
It’s about to end, they talk a lot.
Xi Xi’s voice came, and Peng Yue seemed to be still flipping through documents.
The two of them couldn't bear it anymore. After listening for a long time, they finally heard Peng Yue's voice getting up.
Then, the sound of footsteps came inside.
Xie Yuan and Situ Qin were stunned for a moment and quickly looked around.
However, behind the screen, apart from a standing cabinet, a set of tables and chairs, there is a single couch for a small break, which can be seen at a glance.
Besides climbing out of the window, where can I hide? However, at this time, he still wanted to climb out of the window. No matter how relaxed Peng Yue was in the room, he would probably be able to detect it with his ears in the Qi and Blood Transformation Stage!
The two of them turned slightly pale, what should they do?
Xie Yuan's eyes turned sharply, he turned around on the cabinet, shook his head instantly, pulled Situ Qin, and got under the couch.
Situ Qin opened his eyes wide. The bed was so small, how could two people fit in there? However, there was no other way at this time. He could only watch Xie Yuan roll in and then pull her in.
At this moment, a pair of boots turned around the screen and entered the inner room.
Xie Yuan and Situ Qin hugged each other tightly and huddled under the bed, not daring to breathe.
The two looked at each other, Situ Qin blushed and looked away.
This position is so intimate. Their skins touch each other, their breaths can be heard, and their chests are so close together that you can clearly feel each other's heartbeat.
However, the two of them could only maintain this posture and could not move. Situ Qin's heart was beating faster and faster, and he didn't know whether it was because of Peng Yue outside or the person in front of him.
Xie Yuan felt very strange in his heart. He could feel everything from this action. He only felt that the girl in his arms was sweet and soft, making it difficult to calm down.
I really didn’t notice it, I’m obviously not very old...
Peng Yue walked into the inner room and rummaged around in the cabinet, but found nothing strange.
The two people under the bed breathed a sigh of relief, thankful that they didn't hide in the cabinet. Just now, Xie Yuan thought that Peng Yue was probably looking for something when he came in.
They held their breath and watched the boots come and go.
Suddenly, Peng Yue stopped and squatted down suddenly.
The two people's scalps tensed up. Fortunately, Peng Yue had his back to them, squatting in front of the screen, reaching out and touching something.
There was a slight clicking sound, and it seemed to be expanding organically.
Peng Yue stood up, walked to the cabinet again with the pair of boots, and stood still.
As if an eternity had passed, the sound of the amplifier closing was heard, and Peng Yue's boots turned towards the outside.
Xie Yuan and the two felt as if they had been granted amnesty. They wished they could breathe a sigh of relief as they watched the boots walking out step by step and gradually leaving.
However, at this moment, a whisper came from Peng Yue's mouth. He turned around and quickly walked to the window. Xie Yuan looked in that direction and felt a sudden thump in his heart.
Window lock!
The window lock was broken!
“Who is it?”
Peng Yue shouted loudly and turned around quickly.
Xie Yuan and Situ Qin's heartbeats almost stopped, and they subconsciously touched the knives at their waists.
Peng Yue shouted and turned his eyes, but found nothing.
The room was so big, so he subconsciously stared under the bed with stern eyes.
Xie Yuan looked at the toe pointing this way and felt that time was almost frozen. He held the knife tightly and waited with bated breath.
At this moment, there was a loud knock on the study door, and the housekeeper’s urgent voice sounded:
"Master, there is a thief in the pharmacy!"
There was a faint noise in the distance, Peng Yue's eyes flashed with a cold look, he turned around and hurried out, shouting:
"Quickly Go! Be sure to catch this thief!"
With a click, the door of the study was locked from the outside, and it was quiet inside.
Under the bed, two figures crawled out silently, stood up, and lightly dusted themselves.
Even though there was only moonlight passing through the window, Xie Yuan could see that the blush was like the sunset, staining Situ Qin's entire cheeks.
He coughed lightly:
“In urgent matters...”
“Stop talking!”
Situ Qin’s face turned red and he hurriedly stopped him. .
Now she just felt dizzy and her body was weak, and she said:
"It's safe, let's go."
"Wait a moment."
Thank you Yuan squatted under the screen, reached out and touched it a few times, and sure enough, he touched a movable trigger on the wooden frame at the lower edge of the screen.
He twisted slightly and heard a slight click in the cabinet. He stood up in one step, opened the cabinet and found a hidden compartment on the wall.
There are two levels of hidden compartments, with a square box on top and a thick booklet on the bottom.
Xie Yuan picked up the book and flipped through it, and found that what was recorded on it were all various book transactions!
Just at a glance, he could see the names of many important people, including the fathers of the young masters at the banquet.
Xie Yuan frowned and hesitated, this thing was a hot potato.
"Miss Qin, do you have any suggestions?"
Situ Qin let out a sound, as if he had just woken up.
She took the account book and scanned it, also frowning:
"This thing is not easy to handle... Well, I saw the two pages of Yunzhao County, and the last one One page, the new ink is not dry, it was he who just wrote it down.
"Tear these pages away, but leaving them here means there is no more than three hundred taels of silver... I understand, take them away first." . ”
The two put the account books away and looked at the box again.
The box is square and square, with a lock on it. I don’t know where the key is. The two of them couldn't open it and couldn't see any clues, but thinking that Peng Yue must be a precious thing if he put it here, they simply walked away together.
After all, we have come.
Xie Yuan and Situ Qin quickly turned around again to confirm that no traces were left, then quietly climbed out of the window and left away from the pharmacy. The guards were all attracted to the pharmacy. They dug all the way out of the inspector's mansion, but there was no danger.
When they left the mansion, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief.
Xie Yuan tore off a few pages of draft prescriptions and several pages of account books with Yu Chunsheng’s name on them and put them away. Holding the thick book, he asked:
"What to do with this book?"
"Tear a few more sheets, and then we throw them into another house."
Situ Qin rolled his eyes and smiled.
Xie Yuan tore out a few more pages at random as he said, and then, led by Situ Qin, huddled in the corner and walked not far to another mansion.
There was also a guard standing at the door of the mansion. The east was pale at that time, which is when people are most sleepy. The guard raised his eyelids and suddenly felt a breeze blowing by. He opened his eyes wide and saw nothing.
He was muttering to himself when suddenly his eyes narrowed and he found a thick book at his feet.
Xie Yuan and Situ Qin watched from the street corner as the guard picked up the booklet, flipped through it, suddenly trembled all over, and rushed into the mansion.
He asked:
“Which of Peng Yue’s enemies belongs to this house?”
“Of course it’s the deputy envoy of the Prosecution Department.”
< br>
Situ Qin smiled slyly.
This account book is dangerous for them to hold and difficult to use. It should be given to the most suitable person.
Xie Yuan suddenly realized, shook his head and said:
"At the banquet during the day, I saw the deputy envoy's son being affectionate to Peng Wei."
"Among this group of people, There are only a few people like Peng Wei who have no city government.”
Situ Qin was noncommittal.
The two of them returned to Situ Qin's home and were about to rest when they saw the housekeeper bring two bowls of ginger soup:
"The wind is cold and the dew is heavy. Miss and Mr. Xie, please drink ginger soup." Warm yourself up."
Situ Qin said with an uncomfortable expression:
"How are you ready?"
"It was Master Li's order when he just came back."
Xie Yuan and Situ Qin suddenly looked like children who were caught by adults for doing bad things, with embarrassed expressions on their faces.
If it is what the two of them thought, it is not a coincidence that the pharmacy theft was exposed at the right time.
The two looked at each other. Xie Yuan saw Situ Qin's pretty face blushing and sticking out her tongue. She was so cute, and her heartbeat couldn't help but accelerate.
Seeing Xie Yuan staring at her closely, Situ Qin lowered his head slightly, blushing on his face, his expression seemed embarrassed and angry, and changed for a while, and finally he snorted and smiled:
"Thank you, escort leader, for tonight's adventure, happy cooperation!"
Xie Yuan smiled and nodded:
"Thanks to Miss Tuoqin, the harvest exceeded expectations."
" There’s no need to guess at your prescription. When daybreak comes, I’ll ask you Mr. Qingyang comes to see it, he can know the effect. Well, you give the medicinal ingredients to the housekeeper and let her fry it for you. I will take the box first and ask someone to open it."
Situ Qin ordered them one by one. Then he stared at Xie Yuan and said angrily:
"Frivolous! I also thanked the escort for being a gentleman, but... hmph."
She turned around and left as quickly as a gust of wind.
Xie Yuan was confused. Didn't he reveal this just now? He didn't know why Situ Qin scolded him.
It’s just that I’m so resentful, I can’t tell whether I’m angry or coquettish.
Recalling the warm and soft touch in his arms, Xie Yuan's mood changed. He went back to the room to drink cold water and let out a long breath.
He took out the pieces of paper from his chest and his eyes flashed.
This stealth mission was a great success. Not only did we complete all the goals, we also got an unexpected reward!
Of course, the unexpected reward does not refer to playing small hands with Situ Qin all night... or it is not just this.
That mysterious box, placed together with the account books, must be valuable. I wonder when Situ Qin will be able to open it.
There is also a bag of rare medicinal materials that have been potted in the pharmacy and are just waiting to be taken during the day.
At that time, Xie Yuan would like to see what kind of method it can help with internal strength.
