Traveling to the ancient harem

Chapter 50 Xu Rou buys the murderer

After Xu Rou returned to the capital, she wanted to see what Wuyou Pavilion was capable of. It just so happened that she hated someone at that time. She hated the eldest daughter of the Loyal and Brave Marquis's Mansion. The girl came from a family of military generals and had a bright personality. Ever since she met the prince, she swore that she would not marry anyone else in this life.

The Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery have been loyal to the country for generations and are highly valued by the Emperor. Xu Rou can do nothing even if she hates them. She knows that with this young lady's family background, it is only a matter of time for her to enter the Prince's Mansion, and this is something she cannot tolerate. Since she knows that Wuyou Pavilion can do what she cannot, she might as well give it a try.

Xu Rou and Qiu Die disguised themselves and went to the pottery shop. The clerk in the shop was not surprised when he heard her say the code word. He led them into a hidden room in the backyard, where a masked man met her.

The man didn't beat around the bush and asked directly what was the matter. Xu Rou told him her plan and the other party quoted a price. Xu Rou paid the money and was told to wait for news before releasing her. This felt very unreal to Xu Rou and she almost thought her money was wasted.

Not long after, the news that the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery encountered bandits on her way and committed suicide because she could not bear the humiliation spread throughout the capital (the girl was a strong-willed person). The people in the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery were all straightforward and did not think too much about the matter. They always believed that it was the eldest daughter's own misfortune and never thought about anything else.

Only then did Xu Rou realize that Wuyou Pavilion would be a reliable place that she would need in the future.

Huang Zihong slapped her in the face so hard this time, how could she not fight back? She had to think carefully about how to vent her anger and kill Huang Zihong at the same time.

Xu Rou thought about it for several days. That day, she went out in disguise with Qiu Die as usual and went straight to the pottery shop. After exchanging the secret code, the clerk still led her into the room.

The masked man in the room recognized her and asked, "Miss, are you satisfied with the service you provided last time?"

"I came here this time to ask you to kidnap someone. It doesn't matter where you hold him, but you must hold him for at least three days. During this period, you must torture him severely. It would also be best if you could give him a poison. He cannot die all at once, but must die slowly from torture." Xu Rou said gritting her teeth.

The masked man looked at her and thought that this girl looked young and pretty, but she was so cruel. Last time someone died, and this time she didn't let the person die directly, but tortured him to death slowly. Who knows what this vicious person will become when he grows up.

"Kidnapping is easy, but poisoning is about torturing someone to death. There is no antidote and the price is not cheap." The masked man said directly.

"How much." Xu Rou did not bother to bargain. She was rich, and her grandparents loved her and often gave her pocket money. She also often deducted money from her parents in the name of buying jewelry and new clothes. And her aunt, the Queen, always rewarded her generously. It could be said that she was richer than the other older sisters in the mansion.

"Five thousand taels." The masked man reported a number.

"This is because we are old customers," the man continued.

Five thousand taels is a large sum of money. Last time, when we kidnapped the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, we didn't intend to kill her, but to destroy her reputation (she wanted to die herself). So we only spent one thousand taels.

This time she brought all the banknotes in her hand with her, which was only about four thousand yuan. The money was not enough, so she thought about it, took off the jade pendant she was carrying, and put it on the table together with the banknotes.

"I don't have that much money." Xu Rou said nothing else, "Take a look at this jade pendant. This one is made in the palace. Is it enough?"

The jade pendant was given to her by her aunt the Queen. It looked very valuable. She knew that its value was definitely more than one thousand taels. She believed that the other party knew the amount.

"Miss, you are straightforward. Just wait for good news at home." The masked man was also straightforward. Just like last time, he let her out after he finished speaking.

That day, Huang Zihong was walking home from school with his servant Qingquan. Not long after they walked, they saw Fu Li's servant Wancai running towards them with sweat all over his forehead. He said that Fu Li was being beaten up. Three people were beating up on him. Fu Li shouted to him to go and help because he was almost beaten to death.

Huang Zihong didn't think much about it. His good friend was in trouble, so he followed Na Wancai to help without hesitation. When he and Qingquan arrived at the place, they didn't see Fu Li, but saw two unfamiliar men. Before he could react, one of them knocked them both unconscious with a stick.

In the Huang Mansion, Chen was waiting for her son to come back for dinner in the evening. Hong'er had never come back so late before, and Chen was restless. Huang's father comforted her, saying that he might have been late because he was out playing somewhere, and she didn't need to worry. But Chen was still nervous. A few days ago, the old man told her about Huang Ye's worries, and she had always kept it in her mind. Every time her son came back a little later, she felt nervous.

It was getting dark and her son had not returned yet. Chen could no longer bear it and went straight to the old lady's Funing Hall.
