Bondage

Hearing this sentence, Qingzhai stepped forward, raised his hand and slapped her hard on the face.

"Are you awake? You have been serving Second Master for so long, and you don't know what Second Master is thinking? Do you want to tarnish the reputation that Second Master has carefully guarded for many years, or do you want to ruin that person?"

"Since you said this today, it means that you are not suitable to serve by the second master's side."

From the study, he found the deed of selling his life, and Qingzhai threw it in front of Su Mian: "I think you and I still have a bit of sisterhood, so let's go."

"Sister Qingzhai, I was wrong, I was delusional."

Su Mian wiped her tears, crying more and more sadly.

She just felt sorry for the second master, and couldn't bear to see the second master's true feelings, that's all.The second master has done so many things for that person, but she doesn't know it at all...

As long as she thinks of this, Su Mian feels like a knife is piercing her heart, she is not worth it for her master.

But she also knew that what Qingzhai said was right, if she really quarreled with the second master's thoughts, not only would she harm an innocent woman, but also damage the second master's reputation.

After all, the only wish of the second master is to be a gentleman in the eyes of that person.

"Let's go, you are no longer suitable to stay with the second master."

Su Mian squeezed the contract of sale in her hand, silent for a long time and finally nodded.

The Chengyang Marquis Mansion has been busy recently, and it has not been discovered that Yulingzhai is missing a maid, but Shen Qianyu has been sending people to pay attention to the Chengyang Marquis Mansion, knowing that Su Mian was released from the mansion.

"This woman can be regarded as loyal, but if she stays in Shangjing, she may cause future troubles. You find someone to send her to the south of the Yangtze River, and buy her a house to settle down."

Wan Xiao nodded and handed over the matter to his subordinates.

Shen Qianyu sat in the Cuiwei Building, with a bit of impatience in his eyes.

The palace is heavily guarded, and the empress and Concubine Yun may have suspected him, so he has not been able to return to the palace for many days.

Although Wan Xiao can enter and leave the palace, but at this critical juncture, if the teacher comes out of Wuming and frequently enters the palace, it will also cause suspicion.

"Ji Rong is going to suffer a bit these days."

"Master, don't worry. I have asked Dongchang spies to pay attention to Donggong. If necessary, I will protect Jirong's life."

Shen Qianyu nodded, never thought that on the Lantern Festival, the three parties would attack at the same time.

According to his original plan, he wanted to blame other people in the palace for the matter of shooting and killing the eldest prince, so he could continue to plot the timing quietly.

Unexpectedly, everyone read the almanac that day and knew that it was a good day to do something.

"These days are under martial law in Beijing, you don't have to come here again, in case someone sees that the two of us are in contact, when I find the time to return to the palace, I will give you news."

Wan Xiao should be, when he was about to leave, he suddenly received a letter from his subordinate Fei Ge.

"Master, news from Mr. He."

Shen Qianyu took it, pinched it in his palm and remained silent for a moment before opening it.

There were only a few words in the letter, but it took him a long time to read it.

Wan Xiao saw regret in his master's eyes, and then said: "You go back first, I have something to do."

Sitting in the room, Shen Qianyu suddenly frowned when he saw the mandian incense placed in the wing room, then he stepped forward to fill it up and drank it, and left Cuiwei Tower slightly drunk.

The Lantern Festival went to Beijing and suffered heavy damage. Almost every house hung white silk and white lanterns in front of the door. Walking to the street, Shen Qianyu stopped at the burnt-out Dengtianlou.

"Grandma eats candy..."

Beside him, a child in a red bun is holding a pack of oiled paper, and the red seal on it looks extremely glaring on the plain white street.

Shen Qianyu looked at it for a long time, then turned and walked back.

There was no one in Liu Ji's shop, and the shopkeeper was just stacking oil papers in a bored way. When he saw him enter the door, he hurriedly smiled and asked, "What do you need, sir?"

"Pick up some women like to eat."

The shopkeeper smiled and picked out many kinds of caramel halva, seeing that Shen Qianyu didn't ask any questions, as if he didn't care whether the recipient would like it, so he picked up three or five yuan of various kinds.

After receiving two bags full of crisp candies, Shen Qianyu put down two taels of silver and left.

Just as he was carrying candy and was about to leave the city, he heard someone calling himself behind him.

"Brother Xiao, long time no see."

"Master Qian?"

Shen Qianyu looked at the person in front of him rather inexplicably.

This person is the left officer of the patrolling battalion, and he had several contacts in Cuiwei Tower before.I just don't know why this person called me to stop today.

Shen Qianyu stopped and bowed his hands.

"Carrying crispy candies... what are you going to do, brother Xiao?"

"Give something to a friend, I wonder what Mr. Qian can do?"

Qian Chao said with a smile: "There are indeed some things that I want to talk to brother Xiao about, but it's not convenient to talk here, I wonder if I can talk to my official mansion?"

Seeing Shen Qianyu's lack of interest, Qian Chao said again: "The matter that Brother Xiao entrusted me to handle last time has already begun to take care of it. Why don't we hit the sun another day, let's have a drink?"

"Master Qian please."

Shen Qianyu was disgusted, but could only leave with Qian Chao.

In the early years, he had no foundation, and wanted to earn some money to win people's hearts, he often dealt with this person, but in recent years, his friendship has faded.

Today he invites an invitation, and it is not easy for him to refuse.

Followed Qian Chao to Qian's other courtyard, the two sat in the main hall tasting wine and eating.

Shen Qianyu looked at the jade cup in front of him, and the luxurious decoration of the tripod and jade around him, and he couldn't help lowering his eyes with murderous intent.

However, an official the size of a sesame seed collected so much money, it can be seen that the people are full of food and fish and meat on weekdays.

"The official invited Brother Xiao to come here today because he actually has something to ask."

"If I remember correctly, Brother Xiao is from Nanqing, right?"

In his early years, he had a strong Nanqing accent, so wherever he went, he immediately regarded himself as a Nanqing native.Although I haven't mentioned it in the past few years, people who have known me before, such as Qian Chao, still have some impressions of it.

Shen Qianyu couldn't refute it and could only answer yes.

"Brother Xiao also knows what happened at the Lantern Festival a while ago?"

"Now there is an order from above to let the soldiers and horses of the five cities and Jin Yiwei arrest Nanqing's spy..."

Seeing Shen Qianyu frowned slightly, looking at him with a half-smile, Qian Chao laughed: "I naturally know that brother Xiao is a serious businessman. After all, you and I have known each other for many years, so there is always trust in this point."

"It's just..." Qian Chao paused for a moment, "This Shangjing official's words don't count. I know Brother Xiao is innocent, but others don't."

Shen Qianyu put the sugar bag in his hand on the table, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty Qian can just speak directly if you have something to say, I'm tired of listening to you going around."

"Hahaha, brother Xiao is a bachelor, I like your temperament very much."

Qian Chao smiled, and then said: "To be honest, the superiors are pressing hard now, and it is imminent to arrest Nan Qing as a spy. Today, if I am not my official, other soldiers from the five cities will also find Brother Xiao."

"It's just that now that our brotherhood is there, I will let you go, and won't use you to cover the lack of fine work."

"But I still have Shangfeng on my head, this matter of management..."

Shen Qianyu sneered and interrupted him: "How much?"

Qian Chao rubbed his hands: "Brother Xiao's money for his life is worth a Cuiwei Building, right?"

As soon as the words fell, Shen Qianyu snorted coldly: "I didn't expect that you don't have a big brain, but you have a big appetite, and you are not afraid to kill you, an idiot."
