Rebirth of the Golden Bastard

Cang Qiao turned around a few times, not knowing what to do for a while.Let's go back the same way, I'm afraid that things will become more and more chaotic, besides, whether people believe it or not will be calculated separately. Isn't this asking for trouble for yourself?But if he didn't go, he would be a little curious, why did those two homeless men make an appointment with Gu Xiao?Could it be that Xia Cangqiao's identity really hides some ulterior secret?Yingyou also said that the two homeless men might not be ordinary people, and it is hard to guarantee that the other party has some difficulties.

Under the night, the watchman sitting not far away was still in a daze holding the wine bag, thinking: Is it because I drank too much or something?Why is there a young man in white in front of me at night, who keeps going around in circles?

Cang Qiao finally stopped, Gu Xiao and the watchman were stunned: Yo!Stopped!

Gu Xiaodao: "Master, did you think of a good way?"

Cang Qiao clenched his right fist and hammered it into the palm of his left hand, firmly said: "Let's go home and sleep first!"

Gu Xiao: "..."

……

After this sleep, I slept until the sun was up.

The capital has long been boiling because of what happened last night.General Ying actually personally supervised the inspection. I heard that Xia Cangqiao also stayed there yesterday.All kinds of speculations spread across the streets, and soon became a new topic that people talked about.

Cang Qiao stretched under the quilt, the bones at the back of her neck twisted and creaked.Hearing the movement in the room, Gu Xiao, who had already become familiar with his young master's new habits, entered the door carrying a hot water basin.

"Young master, it has spread in the capital."

Cang Qiao got up slowly, put on her shoes and socks and put on a coat, sat down at the table to wash.Gu Xiao helped him tie up the black hair scattered on his back with a wide belt, and said worriedly: "I'm afraid the master will ask the young master for questioning later."

"Ask." Cang Qiao wiped her face, "I haven't done anything wrong, why am I so cautious."

Just as he was talking, there was a knock on the door frame, and Xia Yunqing pushed the door open and walked in.

Cang Qiao subconsciously said: "You pushed the door without waiting for my consent, so what are you knocking on?"

Xia Yunqing was taken aback for a moment, one foot stopped just like that when she stepped into the room, and the other foot was still outside the threshold in embarrassment.Cang Qiao suddenly remembered that the future ruler of the Xia family was the man in front of him, and the tone of his question suddenly turned 180 degrees, "Of course, it doesn't matter to my younger brother!"

Gu Xiao and Xia Yunqing were puzzled, and Cang Qiao had already stood up, smiling and leaning over, "Whenever my brother wants to find me, and how to find me, it doesn't matter!"

Xia Yunqing looked at Cang Qiao's face, slowly put her feet back in the house, stood at the door and said, "Father is looking for you."

really……

Cang Qiao turned her head and looked at Gu Xiao, Gu Xiao's eyes were uneasy, while Cang Qiao was smiling - no problem, no problem.

……

It turned out that Father Cheap didn't look for him because of the Yixiangyuan incident last night. When Cang Qiao entered the front hall, he realized that the next seat was Wu Yuehua.

"...Father." Cang Qiao blinked and glanced at Xia Yunqing behind her.The man still had that expressionless face, but he felt Cang Qiao's gaze and raised his eyes to meet him quietly.

"Sit down." Master Xia took a sip of tea and put the cup on the low table.With a slight click, before Cang Qiao could speak again, Wu Yuehua spoke first.

"Yuehua came here to ask Brother Cang Qiao about it."

Cang Qiao looked at her, "What's the matter?"

"Last night..." She paused, with an unnatural expression on her face, "Did Brother Cangqiao see my brother in Yixiang Garden last night?"

Cang Qiao was taken aback, "Wu Sheng?"

"No." Yuehua quickly waved his hand, "It's the third brother, Wukong."

Cang Qiao raised her hand: "Amitabha, Wukong is being naughty again."

Xia Yunqing: "..."

Yuehua was startled: "Brother Cang Qiao saw him?"

"I didn't see it." Cang Qiao put down his hands, calmly, "Besides, I don't know him."

"do not know?"

Xia Yunqing helped to explain, "After the elder brother lost his memory, except for the young master Wu and the second young master, the third young master has never seen him."

Yuehua just remembered this, her face was embarrassed, and she stood up with a flick of her sleeves.

"That's it... I won't bother you..."

Master Xia suddenly said, "Wait a minute, Yuehua, let's stay and have lunch together."

Wu Yuehua's footsteps paused, although her face was full of nostalgia, but when she looked at Cang Qiao, she saw that the man had no intention of keeping her.While resentment flashed across his eyes, Yingying gave a blessing: "Thank you, Uncle Xia, for your kindness, but there are still things at home, so it is inconvenient for Yuehua to stay."

Only then did Master Xia stop talking, and asked the housekeeper Haosheng to lead Wu Yuehua out.

After the figure disappeared from the front door, Master Xia turned his head to look at Cang Qiao: "I heard that Wu Kong has been missing for more than half a month."

Cang Qiao was puzzled, "What does it have to do with me?"

"It has nothing to do with you, but the place he goes to most often is Yixiang Garden."

Xia Yunqing also said: "I heard that he gets along very well with Qin and Miss."

Cang Qiao paused, "Qin He?"

Master Xia sighed, "It's hard for the Wu family. The eldest is both civil and military; the second is also well-educated, humble and gentle; it's just that the third is incompetent, and he lingers around the place of fireworks without thinking about it. The past few years have made the Wu family go crazy."

Gu Xiao also said: "I heard that not long ago, he insisted on marrying a brothel girl as a child, which made the master of the Wu family furious."

Cang Qiao rolled her eyes, "There was an accident in Yixiang Garden last night, why did Yuehua come to ask me if Wu Kong is there?"

Xia Yunqing said: "Perhaps there is something related to it."

Cang Qiao suddenly became interested, she lifted her robe and stood up, beaming with joy, "I'll go to Wu Sheng to inquire about it!"

……

On the teahouse not far from Wu's house, by the window sill on the second floor, Wu Sheng felt something flash above his head as soon as he arrived downstairs.He subconsciously reached out to catch it, took it down and took a look—a peanut.

The man frowned and looked up, only to see Cang Qiao lying on the window frame and laughing at him.

"Poppy..." Wu Sheng opened his mouth, pulled the hem of the gray brocade clothes into his hands, kicked off the hay cart pushed behind him, and jumped up to the railing on the second floor with his strength.

"Hehe." Cang Qiao backed away and said with a smile, "Young Master Wu is so easygoing!"

Wu Sheng was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, and at this moment he was annoyed, so he snatched the teacup from the wooden table and drank it without even looking at it.

Cang Qiao looked at him with his jaw propped up, "That's what I drank."

Wu Sheng paused, then raised his hand to wipe the corner of his mouth, "So what, I didn't dislike you, and it's for your face."

Cang Qiao twitched the corners of her mouth, and raised her hand for Xiao Er to serve new tea.He reached out and took the peanuts from the plate and threw it into his mouth, "Your sister came to me today, you know?"

Wu Sheng looked uncomfortable, "I know."

In fact, he let Yuehua go.If he went by himself, he always felt uncomfortable asking Rompy for help.

"What's wrong with your brother?" Cang Qiao asked, "Do you have a portrait? I can recall it too."

Wu Sheng saw that he didn't take the opportunity to make a face, but looked like he wanted to help, so he asked Xiaoer to bring a piece of cloth, borrowed a brush and ink, and handed the scribbled drawing to Cang Qiao.

Cang Qiao looked left and right, "I didn't expect that Young Master Wu is also good at painting."

Wu Sheng picked up his teacup and took a sip. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Xia Yunqing passing downstairs in black. He also reached out and threw a peanut down.

……

Xia Yunqing is helping to patrol the shop on a routine basis.Today he moved a little faster, because he wanted to help Cang Qiao, even the shop assistants were surprised. The second young master, who was usually very serious, seemed a little absent-minded today.

Before the peanuts hit the top of the head, the man stretched out his hand to catch it.Looking up to the window, I happened to see Cang Qiao's profile.

His eyes flickered in the sunlight, and then moved to Wu Sheng's face.

He gave some orders to the servants behind him, then turned around and walked towards the teahouse. When he reached the second floor, Cang Qiao was shaking his head.

"I haven't seen it." He said, "At least I don't have an impression."

Wu Sheng sighed, "Forget it then."

Cang Qiao saw Xia Yunqing coming upstairs in a blink of an eye, "This way!"

Xia Yunqing walked over and sat down beside Cang Qiao. Cang Qiao pushed a plate of snacks in front of him with a fawning look.

Wu Sheng was slightly surprised, why does it feel like the relationship between the two has been adjusted again?However, since Xia Cangqiao recovered from his injury, his thinking was not something normal people could easily follow, and he didn't bother to think too much.

Xia Yunqing was not used to it yet, but seeing Cang Qiao borrowing flowers to offer Buddha, she had to grab some and eat slowly.

"I heard that all the suspects have been released today." Wu Sheng said, "General Ying seems to have found no evidence."

Xia Yunqing also nodded, "It's almost time for the foreign envoy to come, I'm afraid I don't want to make things big."

"It is said that the third prince took over this matter."

"General Ying is probably going to have another headache."

Xia Yunqing and Wu Sheng chatted with each other as they came and went.Cang Qiao was not interested in listening, and suddenly knocked on the table, "Did you forget something?"

Wu Sheng turned to look at him, "Like you?"

Cang Qiao rolled her eyes, "Aren't you looking for your brother?"

Wu Sheng paused, "I can't find me, what can I do?"

Cang Qiao said: "Why did you want to find your brother when a murder occurred in Yixiangyuan?"

"I've been looking for him." Wu Sheng frowned, "It has nothing to do with the murder."

Cang Qiao raised her eyebrows, the look on her face——are you coaxing a three-year-old?

Wu Sheng was embarrassed, and after a long silence, he finally lowered his voice: "At first, I heard that two homeless men were killed, and it was in the alley behind Yixiang Garden. I thought it was Wu Kong."

Xia Yunqing frowned, "Why do you see that?"

"The relationship between him and Qin He has always been very good. Half a month ago, he was banned by his family, and he ran away from home..." Wu Sheng sighed, "At first he hid there for a while, and I went to find him and go home. I had an argument with him."

Wu Sheng paused, as if hesitating to speak, but at this moment he had no other choice.For some reason, he had a vague feeling that if he said it, the unpredictable Xia Cangqiao might be able to figure out a way.

"During the dispute, he said harshly that if the family forced him, he would steal the piano and run away. I said it was impossible, not to mention that Yixiang Garden had its own guards and thugs. Maybe there will be some mountain bandits. Wu Kong said at the time that whoever stops him will kill him."

Cang Qiao opened her mouth and let out a silent "Oh".Then the corners of his mouth slanted and he gloated, "You too will be threatened by your brother one day."

Wu Sheng glared at him, "That's how it is, since you said you haven't seen him, then I don't know if I think too much."

"When the accident happened, Qinhe and I were together." Cang Qiao finished joking, and rarely spoke seriously, "General Ying told me that the murderers were people from the quackery, not ordinary people."

Wu Sheng let out a sigh of relief at this time, it is impossible to say that he is not nervous, and it is naturally a good thing to rule out this possibility.

"And these two bums know me."

Xia Yunqing turned to look at him, "Is there anyone in the capital who doesn't know you?"

Cang Qiao picked up the teacup and was about to drink it, when she heard the words, she paused suddenly, thoughtfully, "Yes, who doesn't know me?"

Wu Sheng saw that his brows were slightly frowned, and without his sloppy look, his face was still serious and attractive.

"What's wrong?" he asked.

"You say..." Cang Qiao stroked his chin and said slowly, "Who would be killed for knowing me?"

Both Xia Yunqing and Wu Sheng were taken aback, and looked at each other, not knowing why.

But Cang Qiao said to himself, "Knowing me is not just knowing me on the surface...a secret..."

Xia Yunqing looked at him worriedly, not knowing what was going on.It's just that before he spoke, a woman in light yellow clothes hurried into the teahouse, with a bell tied around her wrist, she looked very fresh, and her big eyes were full of anxiety.

She ran up to the second floor in a few steps, and saw the three people by the window.

"Master Xia!"

With this cry, Cang Qiao and Xia Yunqing turned to look at her at the same time.

The girl rushed to the table, panting, "Master Xia! Please save my sister!"
