Be good, call me uncle

Chapter 511: It’s a dark and windy night, and it’s time to sneak around

Yu Qinghuan was surprised: "Isn't he an ordinary businessman? What's the problem?"

Yang Qian replied: "There are many masters lurking in the mansion. Those masters are not like ordinary guards because their lurking methods are very special and systematic. They are more like secret guards. In order not to alert the snake, I did not enter the mansion. Investigate.”

Changsun Tao pondered for a moment and asked him: "Can you tell whether he is someone who monitors the Xue family, or is someone raised by the Xue family?"

Yang Qian said: "It looks like he was raised by the Xue family."

Changsun Tao said: "This is interesting."

Yu Qinghuan asked: "Is it what I thought?"

Sanmeng answered: "Officials will collude with businessmen. Many officials will cultivate businessmen to achieve the purpose of making money. If the people who are chasing Dong Shi are really from the Xue family, then the people behind this Xue family People are probably interested in the benefits brought by the seeds in Dong Shi’s hands.”

Changsun Tao and Yu Qinghuan said in unison: "This is indeed the purpose, but the people behind the Xue family are not necessarily from the government."

Yang Qian added: "Moreover, I found a Taoist priest in this Xue family."

Yu Qinghuan asked: "Taoist priest? Is this Taoist priest like a subordinate or a guest?"

Yang Qian said: "Like an accomplice."

Yu Qinghuan rubbed his chin: "Am I overthinking? Why do I think this Taoist priest is related to what I saw at Jin's house in Pingyang City? At that time, Taoist Master Ma once said that someone forced him to pretend to be a Taoist priest to defraud money. The person who forced him must be a member of the Taoist sect, otherwise he wouldn't have taught him those Taoist techniques. After all, if he didn't understand the Taoist sect's rules, he would be exposed if he pretended not to."

Changsun Tao said: "There is a possibility. Although it is convenient to commit crimes close by, it is difficult for people to see the problem when they are far away. If the net is cast very loosely, from Yanzhou to Xuzhou, and the officials of various states and counties do not have close business contacts, Even if dozens of wealthy families were defrauded of all their property, they would never expect a gang to commit the crime."

Yu Qinghuan held her face and rested her elbows on the table: "Who does this Xue family have anything to do with? If they are really making money, who do they give it to?"

Changsun Tao said: "When Ah Liu comes, let him investigate carefully. Before that, we need to find a way to rescue Dong Sui."

Yu Qinghuan even wanted to ask Changsun Tao if he had noticed anything wrong with the Xue family in his previous life.But seeing Chang Sun Tao's expression, she stopped thinking. It was obvious that Chang Sun Tao didn't know anything about the Xue family. Perhaps Dong Sui had not been rescued in the previous life, and the people behind the Xue family had no way of knowing...

Sanmeng said: "If the Xue family is really as skilled as the clouds, it would be difficult to rescue Miss Dong without anyone noticing and give her a reasonable reason to 'disappear'."

Yu Qinghuan said: "I'll go take a look tonight. I'm good at qinggong, but weak at martial arts, so it's not easy to be discovered."

Changsun Tao knew that her decision would not be easily changed, and that he would protect her and would not let anything happen to her, so he agreed: "Take Mingzhu and Huihui with you."

At night, there is no moon in the sky.

The sky is dotted with stars, and the stars are shining brightly. After your eyes adjust to the darkness, you can vaguely see the hazy outlines of some objects.

Yu Qinghuan took advantage of the night to sneak into Xue's house. Because he was carrying Mingzhu and Huihui, these two little guys would warn them whenever there was someone nearby. Yu Qinghuan easily avoided the guards and patrols.

She climbed up a tree, took a handkerchief stained with Dong Shi's blood, put it on Mingzhu's nose and let it smell.

Mingzhu emerged from Yu Qinghuan's arms, her two little ears swayed back and forth, she licked her pink paws, and walked along the wall to the depths of the backyard.

Yu Qinghuan waited patiently. After a while, Hui Hui in his arms moved and came out, twisting his back and waist and fat buttocks, swaying in the direction that Mingzhu left.

With the two little guys leading the way, Yu Qinghuan walked around the huge house and finally came to a remote yard.

With the faint light coming from the distance, the yard was locked. The front of the yard was covered with fallen leaves. They had accumulated all winter and were frozen by frost and snow. Those leaves were almost rotten and gave off a strange smell.There are two pear blossoms in full bloom. Their branches poke out from the yard. Their petals are as white as snow and spread on the ground.

What should have been a wonderful scene turned out to be a bit desolate due to the climbing of half-green and half-dry weeds.

She is all too familiar with the irritating tone of wealthy families.

Mingzhu's cry came from behind the door, Yu Qinghuan jumped up with a click of her feet, paused on the wall for a moment, and then fell lightly into the courtyard.

Inside is a different scene. Although it is dilapidated, it is clean and tidy.However, just as she landed, a crisp silver bell sounded.

"No, I stepped on a trap!"

Mingzhu and Huihui jumped on her shoulders and raised their hair on guard around them, posing ready to attack at any time.

A weak lamp was lit in the main room, and Yu Qinghuan took out a short whistle and blew it. Mingzhu jumped in in the blink of an eye, and then let out two slight calls.

Just before the courtyard door was knocked open, Yu Qinghuan got in through the window.

Under the dim light, I saw a woman lying on the bed. Her eyes were lightly closed and her face was gray.

A mother-in-law and a maid were waiting at the side, and they were all startled when they saw Yu Qinghuan suddenly barging in.

The maid instinctively wanted to scream, but the woman next to her covered her mouth.

"You damn girl!" The mother-in-law covered the maid's mouth while yelling, "You can't even cut two pear blossoms! It's really useless!"

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yu Qing happily jumped up to the rafters, minimizing her presence.

The mother-in-law let go of the maid. The maid rolled her eyes and started to cry: "Mother Dong, it's not that I can't do it, but the pear blossoms are too high! I was about to climb up the wall to reach the pear blossoms, but was knocked down by someone. The passing rat was very frightened, and I feel aggrieved, so please don't scold me."

The mother-in-law twisted the maid's arm and said viciously: "If it weren't for the fear of affecting the lady's rest, you would be good-looking!"

At this moment, a man in gray clothes pushed in the door, looked around, frowned and asked: "What's going on? What's the noise at night?"

When the mother-in-law and the maid saw him, they were so frightened that their faces turned green and their lips turned white. They knelt down with a bang, trembling.

The mother-in-law twisted the maid's arm again, and said with sincerity: "Madam likes pear blossoms. I asked this... this girl to pick them, but she didn't pick the pear blossoms. Instead, she ran back in panic. I, I saw her clumsy, so I beat and scolded her!”

The man in gray didn't speak immediately. He closed his eyes and listened quietly to the movement in the room. After a while, he opened his eyelids and looked down at the mother-in-law and the girl. The contempt in his eyes was clearly visible: "So this girl just wanted to Climb the wall?”

The mother-in-law responded repeatedly: "Yes."

The man in gray smiled: "Why are you picking pear blossoms at night? Do you think I'm easy to fool?"

The mother-in-law raised her head, her eyes were moist, and her voice was choked: "Madam, she just woke up and said she smelled the smell of pear blossoms, so I, I asked Daoxiang to pick pear blossoms..."

The man in gray glanced at the person on the bed, and his expression softened a little: "So, what's going on with the hole in the door?"
