The path of the villain is not easy

Chapter 48 The Tangled Identity

鹏园
Changsun Ji sat behind the table, listened to the report of the guards in the hall, and nodded.Then he took out ten taels of silver from his pocket and gave it to the guard.

Then he said: "You must not tell others about this matter, and bury it deep in your stomach. You haven't been to Yanzhou for a while, you just went back to your hometown, you understand?"

The guard gave a grateful salute to Changsun Ji, and hurriedly said: "This subordinate understands that this matter will never be heard by anyone other than the young master and me."

Changsun Ji nodded.Afterwards, the guard slowly backed out.

After the guard came out of Pengyuan, he looked around and saw that there was no one on the left or right. Then he took out the ten taels of silver and shook it twice in his hand with excitement, feeling the weight.He put it in his mouth and bit it again, leaving two rows of teeth marks on the silver.

Then, put the silver in his pocket.He patted his chest a few times in relief.So he walked out of Hou's mansion and walked to a restaurant in the capital, he wanted to reward his internal organs.The trip to Yanzhou made him suffer a lot. He felt himself several catties lighter after bumping on the horse all day.

With ten taels of silver on his waist, he was also full of courage. He ordered a large table of good wine and food, and then threw off his arms and ate wildly.After a full meal, he walked home. He was not a full-time guard of the Hou Mansion.

Rather, it resembles an employment relationship.The Hou Fu paid for it, and he contributed his strength.The nature of the mercenaries in Changsun Ji's previous life is similar to that of the mercenaries in the world. The only difference is that the mercenaries can take orders from anyone, but he can only take orders from the Houfu family, which is the exclusive mercenary of the Houfu.

He whistled, returned home in a happy mood, opened the door, and then cleaned up.The most beautiful thing after drinking and eating is to sleep well and refresh your spirit, especially when you are physically and mentally exhausted.

He fetched a basin of water from the well in the yard, washed the dust off his face, and was about to get up when he suddenly felt a sudden cramping pain in his abdomen.

Then, black and foul-smelling blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.Then he fell to the ground with a thud, overturned the basin for washing his face, and lay on the ground completely lifeless.

Changsun Ji looked at the sandalwood table in front of him, a little dazed, and then thought about what the guard said just now.The guard was the person Changsun Ji sent to Yanzhou to investigate Shen Qiuyi, and he should have returned long ago.

However, because there were some troubles when I came back, and I encountered robbers who robbed me, I had to use some means to get out, so I was delayed for some time.

However, these were just some side details. General Chang Sun Ji was a little surprised that he had sent a person just in case, but he did not expect that he would actually bring him an important piece of information.

What Shen Qiuyi said was almost the same as the truth. However, Shen Qiuyi's identity really made him entangled. He didn't expect that Shen Qiuyi had something to do with the Ning family. That's right, it was the one with the eldest grandson Ji Xihu. The feuding Ning Fang family.

If it turns out that Shen Qiuyi should be Ning Fang's cousin.Shen Qiuyi's mother and Ning Fang's mother are cousins.

This made Changsun Ji very puzzled, since he had such a relationship with the Ning family, why didn't he go to Ning Mansion, but stayed in his Changsun Mansion and chose to be loyal to his Changsun Ji.

Also, what worries him the most is that when Shen Qiuyi first came to the capital, he went out every day, did he meet Ning Fang during that time?

Afterwards, Changsun Ji shook his head with a slight smile, he thought too much.Anyway, Shen Qiuyi is still serving him now, and there is no sign of betraying him. If he kills him now, wouldn't it be embarrassing for other people who followed him.

If he is someone who does great things in the future, he will definitely gather all kinds of subordinates. If he has made such a bad publicity since then, how can he receive capable subordinates.

For him, the gain outweighed the loss. Moreover, at this time, the enemy was open and the enemy was in the dark, and he was now on guard. If Shen Qiuyi really had evil intentions, with his suppression, it would not cause any waves.

Regarding his secret investigation of Shen Qiuyi, he was not very worried that Shen Qiuyi would find out.Because the insider has already been dealt with by him.

He had previously smeared the poison he prepared from "The Heartbreaker" on the silver for the guards. As long as the skin was contaminated, he would die within six hours.If it is contaminated with bodily fluids, such as saliva, blood, etc., the death will be faster, within two hours.

He calculated the time, thinking that if there were no accidents, the guard would go to Xitian to listen to the Tathagata's chanting in about four hours.

Changsun Ji didn't want to kill him at first, but he brought an important piece of information.For Changsun Ji, this information has far exceeded his own value, and Changsun Ji does not believe that he can keep this information forever, so he can only ask him to shut up forever.

Changsun Ji stood up from the table and stretched himself.Pushing open the door to Zi Zhu who was waiting at the door, said: "Zi Zhu, go change your clothes and go out with the young master."

Zizhu looked at Changsun Ji with a puzzled expression, she is not a young lady, what clothes do she need to change when she goes out?Looking at her, Changsun Ji knew what she was thinking, and then added: "Change into men's clothes."

After waiting for a short time, Changsun Ji watched Zizhu in men's clothing come out of his room.Immediately, his eyes lit up, and he saw that Zizhu was wearing a white dress, and there was a trace of blushing on her white cheeks, which was quite charming.

Looking at the shy Zizhu, Changsun Ji joked: "Whose young master is this, he is so handsome. Why don't you make friends with me!"

Zizhu was embarrassed immediately, pouted and said unrelentingly: "Master, you are really annoying."

The eldest grandson Ji with Zizhu did not take the car, but walked out of the Hou Mansion.

The huge city of Yanjing naturally has grooms who specialize in pulling people for a living. Changsun Ji came across one on the street not long after walking.

The coachman was a middle-aged man, and he looked honest and responsible.Changsun Ji reported the destination, and the driver told the price.Changsun Ji didn't bother to worry about the fare of a few copper coins. After nodding in agreement, he and Zizhu got into the carriage and drove to the commercial area in the east of Yanjing City.

The interior of the carriage is not big, and even a little worn out, but at any rate, there are no sundries or peculiar smells.If it wasn't the carriage of the Hou Mansion, it wouldn't be so comfortable, but fortunately the journey was not too far away, Changsun Ji had a few conversations with Zi Zhu, and he arrived at the destination.

The place he came this time was the brothel that Shen Qiuyi showed him from afar last time.Looking at the same brothel not far away, Changsun Ji took Zizhu and walked forward, then turned into a restaurant at the wrong door of this brothel called "Yi Chun Yuan".
