It took some trouble to lead away the watchman. When Tian Sheng came back, Yi Xiaoqiao had finished reading the data collected by the dark guard.
As Lin Yi said, the clerk was injured and nearly died, and most of the Wen family's property was gone. Because of this, the merchants and members who participated in the donation were already in danger. Recently, Yucheng is in a panic.
"What's next, madam?" Tian Sheng asked. He didn't call the young master this time, which means that the people watching around were led away and can speak freely.
"Have you investigated this broken temple? Is there really a tunnel leading to the Confucian family?" Yi Xiaoqiao opened the fan and fanned the wind.
"After investigation, there are tunnels in the temple and Wenjia, but... Because there are collapses on both sides of the tunnel, we are not sure whether this tunnel really leads to Wenjia."
"But in the broken temple, some literati things were found, such as falling gold and other items." Tian Xiang added.
Yi Xiaoqiao nodded, "I see."
"The blood lotus sect is really rampant. We have brought their nest. They are not honest. They brazenly steal the things of the Wen family. It's bold." The peach was indignant.
"What should I do now? The blood lotus sect has no clue since it left that day. The dark guard can't find anyone. I'm afraid it's hard to find." Tian Sheng asked.
"Well, let's go see the clerk." Yi Xiaoqiao closed the fan: "Tian Xiang helped me prepare bath water and change clothes. Peaches prepared some gifts. Let's go and see the clerk."
It was in the afternoon, the sky was clear, and in the autumn afternoon, the air was filled with a mature aroma of rice fields, warm and sweet.
Yi Xiaoqiao came to Wen's house with a basket of apples.
"Sorry to have kept you waiting." People didn't arrive first, but they heard some ring Peiding sound, and someone came in.
Yi Xiaoqiao was surprised that the visitor was a beautiful woman.
She was dressed in elegant lotus colored clothes, with thin powder and Dai, and looked down on moth eyebrows. There were several hairpins on her head, decorated with beads and jade. When she walked, the beads and jade on the hairpins collided with each other and made a crisp Ring Ding sound.
Of course, this dress is also normal in this era. Yi Xiaoqiao's surprise is not this, but her stomach. Her stomach is high and swollen. Looking at her appearance about six or seven months old, she holds her back waist with one hand and her stomach with the other hand, laughing: "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting, but the master has just seen the disease and used medicine. He hasn't woke up yet."
"Madam, is this... Pregnant?" Yi Xiaoqiao asked in amazement, does the writer in the book seem to have no descendants?
The woman smiled and stroked her stomach. Her eyes were full of mother's joy and hope: "yes, I'm pregnant for more than eight months, and it's almost the day of birth, but I didn't expect..."
At the end of the sentence, her smile turned into a sad face. She sighed: "it's really a closed door home. Disaster comes from heaven. It deserves our family to have this difficulty."
"Madam, don't worry too much. The clerk is modest and gentle. God will treat him well."
When the woman saw Yi Xiaoqiao staring at her stomach, she said sadly, "my literary family has always been thin, and nine generations passed on alone. It took more than ten years to get pregnant in our family, but I didn't expect... My literary family doesn't pity that those silver, yellow and white things are just things outside the body, and they are lost when they are lost, but the master... He doesn't know whether the master can survive."
The woman wipes her tears with a handkerchief and cries with rain.
"Madam, madam." The sound of a housekeeper came from outside.
The woman stood up and said, "why?"
"Madam, the master is awake." The housekeeper bowed: "Sir, I heard that childe Qiao has come back and wants to see him."
"OK, come on, take childe Qiao."
"Madam, take care of your health. Don't worry too much." Yi Xiaoqiao gave an order. Then he followed the housekeeper to see Wenzheng with peach.
Wen Zheng's face was as pale as paper, and there was no blood on his lips. He lay feebly in bed. He could see that his injury was very serious.
"Brother Joe." Wen Zheng held out his hand to her.
"Don't move except the clerk." Yi Xiaoqiao held his hand: "I didn't expect such a big change in a few days."
Wen Zheng gasped vigorously: "I'm ok. I'm also a broken body. It doesn't hinder me one day early or one day late, but it's all borrowed time from God. It's just... The Yucheng can't be handed over to those thieves. The thieves have no good intentions at all. If they shake the Yucheng, they will shake the country's foundation and shake..."
"All right." Yi Xiaoqiao pressed his hand hard and said in his heart, don't endorse here at this time.
"Don't get excited, clerk. When we go to Feicheng this time, we have taught the blood lotus in the old nest of Feicheng. Even though some of their followers are still running away, they are just grasshoppers after autumn. They can't hop for a few days."
Wen Zheng widened his eyes and firmly held her hand: "you... Are you serious? Are you serious..."
"Rest assured."
"Well... Mr. Jun..." Wen Zheng gasped vigorously, "how's Mr. Jun? Are you hurt?"
"No, don't worry. Young master Jun is very good." Yi Xiaoqiao hesitated and said, "it's just... We went to Feicheng this time and were ambushed by the blood lotus sect..."
"Ambush? How could this happen!" Wen Zheng was in a hurry and held her hand vigorously: "is there nothing wrong with your son?"
"That's not true, but there was something wrong with your childe's guard and he almost died."
"What?" Wen Zheng took a cold breath, covered his chest and gasped: "how could this happen?"
"Besides the clerk, I want to ask you something. Besides you, does anyone else know about my going to Feicheng with Mr. Jun?"
Wen Zheng took a cold breath and stared at Yi Xiaoqiao: "do you mean someone informs Xuelian education?"
"Obviously."
Wen Zheng fell into thinking. After a long time, he said, "I don't know."
"You really don't know, except for the clerk?"
"To tell you the truth, it's a big deal. Naturally, I won't reveal it. It's just... When Mr. Jun left the inn that day, I just saw Qi San coming out of their restaurant. I don't know if Qi San noticed Mr. Jun."
Qi San? Yi Xiaoqiao and third master Qi only met in the restaurant that day. At that time, she felt that this man was very bandit. Later, she also investigated Third Master Qi. This third master Qi is really... Hateful tooth itching. Is it really him?
"Young master Qiao." While Yi Xiaoqiao was thinking, Wen Zheng firmly held her hand: "there has been such a thing in my Wen family, and now people must be in danger and have no time to worry about themselves in Yucheng. I have one request. Can you promise me?"
"What's up? You said."
"If I really can't make it, can you help me take care of my wife and children?" He firmly held her hand: "I heard that the target of the blood lotus sect will not be let go easily. Childe Qiao, I beg you, as long as you take care of them, my wealth can be taken by you, and it will be yours in the future."
Yi Xiaoqiao saw that his eyes contained expectations and reluctance. It seemed that there were many unfinished words stuck in his throat and couldn't say it. Suddenly, she was a little sad. She comforted and patted his hand: "don't worry, you will get better with Lin Yi."
"Young master Qiao!" Wen Zheng added a little strength.
Yi Xiaoqiao saw that he was trembling all over and could only nod: "OK, I know."
Wen Zheng then let go of her hand and patted his pillow: "childe Qiao, there is something in my pillow. Take it out."
Yi Xiaoqiao looked at no one around. He picked up Wenzheng, took out his pillow, opened the pillow and touched it. She really touched something. She pulled it out and found that it was a gold sign with a lifelike tiger carved on it. It was very powerful.
"What is this?" Yi Xiaoqiao put the pillow back for him.
Wen Zheng breathed out a long breath: "this is what I found in the warehouse before. It's not my family's. I thought it might be the thief's and hid it."
"Since it's the thief's, why didn't you take it out earlier?" Peaches also leaned over to have a look.
Wen Zheng smiled miserably: "little brother, think about it. My family lives in the city. How far is it from the south gate? How do they determine the location and dig the tunnel? During this period, they have to pass by several rich families. Why don't you rob them and come to rob me? Don't you understand?"
Peach was stunned: "do you mean you have an insider?"
Wen Zheng blinked: "if I take out this thing, I'm afraid it has already been destroyed. I can't really rest assured unless I give it to childe Qiao."
In Wenzheng's eyes, Qiao is also a person who has a grudge against the blood lotus sect and is incompatible with the blood lotus sect. In that case, it is naturally the most suitable thing for her.
Yi Xiaoqiao stroked the gold sign and nodded slightly: "besides the clerks, Joe will make good use of it and will not let go of those who have wolf ambitions."
"In this way, I can close my eyes when I die." Wen Zheng slowly closed his eyes.
Yi Xiaoqiao put away his things and left the Wen family with peaches.
When he got out of the door, he got on the carriage. Peach drove the car and sighed deeply: "this Wenzheng is really a gentle and generous good man. He was hurt like that. He also wanted to find the blood lotus sect to prevent others from being hurt. He is really... A good man, absolutely a good man."
Peach really can't think of any words to describe Wenzheng. He can only say that he is a "good man".
Yi Xiaoqiao nodded and looked at the sign in his hand without saying a word. On one side of the sign was engraved with a lifelike tiger, but on the other side was engraved with a big word "Qi", with golden eyes.
His eyes fell on the word "Qi", and Yi Xiaoqiao flashed a little doubt in his heart, but the feeling of doubt was soon pressed down by her.
"Young master, where shall we go next? Shall we go home?"
"Go to Qi's house and see Third Master Qi."
