Chapter 177 Buying a murderer
"Miss, when the servant just went out to buy rouge for you, I saw... a person."
Rong Yan was combing her hair that had just been smeared with sweet-scented osmanthus oil in front of the mirror. After hearing Jin'er's voice, her hands paused, she just glanced at her lazily, and said casually: "What's wrong with seeing a person?" Strange, this street is not full of people coming and going every day.”
Jin Er hurriedly shook her head and said, "Miss, what I mean by this servant is that I met someone... who you should be interested in."
"Oh? Will this lady be interested? You might as well tell me why I am interested."
"The servant saw Ruan Youqing's sister, who was dealing with a coachman!" Jin Er took the comb from Rong Yan, and opened her mouth while combing carefully.
Rong Yan frowned immediately after hearing the surname Ruan: "That barbaric woman who came back from Changzhou and only knew how to bluff? Dealing with the coachman... What did she say to the coachman? Did you hear it?"
Jin'er flattered her face and said: "Miss Hui, listen up, slave...she seems to be going to Xiangcheng, a place called Baiyun Temple."
"Xiangcheng?" Rong Yan knocked on the dressing table in front of her thoughtfully, and then she suddenly smiled softly: "The only way to go to Baiyun Temple is to pass through the Calabash Mountain."
"Calabash Mountain? What's there?" Jin'er didn't quite understand what her lady meant.
Rong Yan seemed to be in a good mood this time, and continued patiently: "There is a legend there. But the content of the legend is not important, and this legend... will be beneficial to what I want to do next."
"Miss...you won't..." Jin'er's heart skipped a beat, but because of a moment of nervousness, her fingers accidentally entangled with a lock of Rong Yan's hair.
After Rong Yan screamed in pain, Jin'er knelt down on the ground with a pale face.
"Damn the servant, please miss the servant!" Jin'er slapped herself without hesitation, her eyes full of horror.
In the end, Rong Yan didn't get angry and hit her as usual, but pulled her up for the first time, and said very gently: "What are you afraid of, I won't eat you up."
Seeing Rong Yan like this, Jin'er trembled even more.
"Little...Miss, why don't you give me a good meal..."
Rong Yan just hooked her lips and smiled, and even reached out to help Jin'er to smooth the broken hair from her temples behind her ears: "Jin'er, is this lady so ruthless in your heart?"
"No, no, no! Miss, you are the most... the kindest master!" Jin'er hurriedly explained, fearing that if she made a wrong word, the other party would get angry again.
After Rong Yan heard this, she sneered and said, "It scares you... well, I won't talk nonsense to you anymore. I'll give you some silver taels later, and you go to buy the one Miss Ruan's family found. Coachman. Then... I will give you another five hundred taels of gold, and you can anonymously find the top assassin organizations in Jianghu to make a commission. I heard that the Xuanji Pavilion is acting treacherously and viciously, so you can find someone to contact them.”
「Entrustment?」
"There are a lot of reckless men who only care about money in the Jianghu. Five hundred taels of gold is enough to make many fools work hard. And the killer organization is more reliable in doing things."
"But... these five hundred taels of gold..." Jin'er was a little speechless.
Five hundred taels of gold is not a small amount. Even if the master loves her young lady, the monthly allowance is only one hundred taels of silver.
Rong Yan finally stopped being as calm and composed as she was just now. After a trace of cruelty flashed in her eyes, she took out a box from the small dark compartment next to her bed.
"Miss, this is..." Jin'er was shocked when she saw the box that the other party took out.
Rong Yan took out the box and put it directly on the table.
"I still have scattered two hundred taels of gold on me, and the jewelry in this box can be sold for almost three hundred taels."
"Miss, these jewelry are left to you by the old lady."
Rong Yan snorted coldly: "Grandmother has been driving the crane back for several years, not to mention, these things are all left to me by her, so naturally they are for my own use."
"But...but you spent so much money for... that Miss Ruan..."
Every time Ruan Youqing was mentioned, the expression on Rong Yan's face would become very sinister.
「As long as I can make her disappear forever, I will do whatever it takes!」
Because of Ruan Youqing's existence, she felt that everything was not going her way!
She just wants to let Ruan Youqing die quickly!
…
The driver trembled and said a lot, and only said that a maid from a wealthy family came to him and gave him fifty taels of silver, so that he could delay the time to get out of Calabash Mountain before dawn.
Then, he was instructed to jump off the car halfway.
Although the driver took the money, he always felt uneasy. So after jumping off the carriage, he ran wildly with the carriage for a while to find out what happened.
If Ruan Youqing hadn't discovered it in time and jumped the carriage early, the driver might not be able to keep up with them at all.
After hearing the ins and outs clearly, Qingbi put the driver down and said slowly, "I can spare your life, but..."
"Hero, spare your life! I...I will never tell what happened tonight!" The coachman immediately raised his hand to express his opinion.
Qingbi smiled, and said with an unruly face: "I don't care about it. But for the sake of Xiaoyouqing, you really don't need to say too much. But... since the other party has the courage to choose our Xuanji Tower, then You should know that I always do things according to my preferences. Xiaoyouqing, do you mind...letting your enemy know that you know me?"
Ruan Youqing was a little surprised, but soon understood what he meant.
"I don't mind letting her know... But will it be bad for you, Big Brother Qing? After all, you received taels of silver... Ah yes, how much silver taels did that person give to Big Brother Qing?"
Qingbi stretched out a palm and shook it, then narrowed her eyes and smiled: "Five hundred taels of gold."
"Five hundred taels of gold?!" It was Ruan Youning who exclaimed first. At this time, she looked at her little sister, couldn't help pinching her little face and continued: "My little sister, who is this offending! The other party has made such a big effort to harm her?"
"Five hundred taels of gold...it's really a lot...didn't expect me to be... so valuable?" Ruan Youqing was shocked again.
This Rong Yan...is willing to spend all her money...
But this time...I'm afraid I will lose everything...
Qingbi smiled and continued: "Isn't it? Five hundred taels of gold bought your life, Xiaoyouqing, are you taking her ancestral grave?"
Ruan Youqing hurriedly said seriously: "Youqing can't do that kind of unconscionable thing."
"Since this is not the case, then... how about I help you to make her angry?"
「Eh??? Why... angry?」
"Come here with your ears attached." Qingbi smiled.
The two acted frankly, so naturally they didn't feel that there would be some irregularities in being close.
And Ruan Youning, who was at the side, moved over with an even more excited face.
