Chapter 44: The Worried Madam Changle
Dark night, Chang'an city.
Ruyi Tea Shop.
Li Xiaoran kept pacing back and forth in the tea shop, looking anxious, as if he was waiting for something.
"I don't know if the Tiger Bandits can kill Qin Wenyuan." Li Xiaoran whispered softly.
Logically speaking, with up to a hundred people killing a few people, and in a surprise attack, it is a sure thing.
But Qin Wenyuan gave him a very strange feeling, so strange that...
Even if there is a situation where he is sure to win, he cannot assert that he will really win!
Moreover, it was almost a whole day since the assassination attempt, and there was no news from the Tiger Thieves Gang, which made him even more panicked.
"Master! Master!!"
Just at this moment, the confidant ran in.
He was sweating all over, as if he had been fished out of the water.
"What happened? Are Qin Wenyuan and the others dead?" Li Xiaoran handed over the water with one hand and tightly grasped the confidant's shoulder with the other hand.
The confidant took a sip of water and said in panic, "No! Nothing at all!!"
"I left Chang'an, and when I got there, I saw corpses everywhere. I took the time to count them, and there were 89 in total."
"These 8 or 9 people are the total number of the Menghu Thieves Group. Master, this Qin Wenyuan is too scary!"
"What!!" Li Xiaoran was shocked.
The most terrifying guess in his mind actually came true.
A thief who was almost 100 strong and an experienced one at that, couldn't even escape even though he was defeated in the surprise attack! !
this……
Li Xiaoran felt a chill running through his bones.
The confidant next to him seemed to have thought of something terrible. He covered his head with his hands and said, "Master , you didn't see the scene. It was really miserable."
"This Qin Wenyuan is a man who kills without blinking an eye."
"Master, he was able to wipe out so many vicious thieves quietly, so killing us would be a piece of cake for him."
"You said...if our secret is exposed..."
The confidant didn't dare to continue speaking because the result would be too terrible for him and Li Xiaoran.
Li Xiaoran was also very scared, but he said calmly: "You don't have to worry about this. When I contacted the Tiger Thieves Group, I asked them to take action anonymously."
"So, our identities will not be revealed. Even if Qin Wenyuan is terrifying, there is no way he can find evidence that we were the one behind this."
“As long as he can’t find it, even if he suspects it, as long as we have the support of the Lu family, he won’t take action easily.”
At this moment, just as Li Xiaoran wanted to continue comforting his confidant, another servant ran in.
"Master."
Li Xiaoran frowned slightly, "If you have anything to say, go and discuss it among yourselves first. Can't you see I'm busy?"
Now he was frightened by Qin Wenyuan and was thinking about how to deal with the assassination. How could he have the mind to deal with other things?
The servant was startled and said quickly, "Master, you told us to come here and report the first-hand information about Changyuan Tea Shop."
"Now, Changyuan Tea Shop has sent a letter to our Ruyi Tea Shop. We servants dare not make any decision, so we can only come to you."
Um?!
Changyuan Tea Shop sends a letter?
Li Xiaoran's heart skipped a beat and he asked, "What's the letter? Bring it here!"
The servant quickly handed the letter to Li Xiaoran.
Li Xiaoran discovered that this was actually a visiting letter.
When I opened it, I saw that Qin Wenyuan said that he would come to visit Ruyi Tea Shop the day after tomorrow.
After reading the content, Li Xiaoran could no longer remain calm.
Why? The assassination had just ended today, and Qin Wenyuan sent someone to send a letter of visit? Wasn't he outside Chang'an? Why did he still consider visiting?
Why was it that Qin Wenyuan was able to kill an experienced gang of thieves with the fighting power of just a few people?
The question of why filled Li Xiaoran's entire brain, causing him to take several steps back.
The power that Qin Wenyuan possessed was truly beyond his imagination.
"No wonder... No wonder they were so tough on the opening day..."
He murmured.
He also knew that the matter concerning Qin Wenyuan was not something that he, a small worker in the Lu family, could resolve.
"You, go to the Lu Mansion quickly and ask Master Lu Qian to come over!" Li Xiaoran ordered the servant.
The servant was slightly startled and asked, "Master, Master Lu Qian once said that we must not go to see him after curfew. We..."
"Go quickly!" Li Xiaoran shouted.
The servant was so frightened that he didn't dare to ask any more questions and ran out in a hurry.
At this time, Li Xiaoran came to the side of his confidant and said, "Come on, let's hide together first. Qin Wenyuan's intelligence power is too strong. He is far away in Lantian County, but he can mobilize his own people in Chang'an City in time."
"I'm not sure if he knows that the assassination was done by us, but it's better to be safe than sorry."
"With the power that he has to wipe out the entire Tiger Bandits, killing the two of us who started it all is just a piece of cake."
"We have to hide as soon as possible. Qin Wenyuan, we have to let the Lu family and the master solve the problem!"
…
Vertical day.
As soon as she returned to Baiyun County, Changle immediately called for her personal maid.
Qin Wenyuan specially hired this maid to serve her in order to make her life better.
However, what Qin Wenyuan didn't know was that this maid was actually Changle's personal maid when she was in the palace!
This maid had been serving Changle since she was a child. As soon as Changle left, she immediately announced to her father-in-law that she would leave the palace to take care of Changle.
This was not allowed originally.
But Changle and Li Shimin are always father and daughter. As a father, even if he has a harsh tongue, he still hopes that his daughter lives a good life.
He turned a blind eye to the maid's departure and vaguely asked the eunuch to drive her out of the palace.
The maid's name is Xiaolin, and she is the person Changle trusts most besides Qin Wenyuan.
"Xiao Lin, go to the Cheng Mansion and find Uncle Cheng, and ask Uncle Cheng to visit Ruyi Tea Shop tomorrow." Changle said earnestly.
After Qin Wenyuan said he wanted to visit Ruyi Tea Shop last night, she thought more and more that something was wrong. Wasn't this just walking into a trap?
Since the assassination was carried out by the Lu family, it means that the Lu family must want to get rid of Qin Wenyuan.
If they visit Ruyi Tea House, then as long as Qin Wenyuan is killed in Ruyi Tea House ...
No matter how unreasonable it is, it is easy to justify this matter by relying on the power of the Lu family.
After all, Qin Wenyuan is just a businessman!
Who would care if I offended the Lu family for the life and death of a businessman?
So, even though Qin Wenyuan said it was absolutely safe last night, she still couldn't feel at ease.
As a woman, she can only think of a few solutions.
After thinking about it all night, I could only think of...
As long as Cheng Yaojin and Qin Wenyuan visit Ruyi Tea Shop together by "chance", then Ruyi Tea Shop can't kill people in front of Cheng Yaojin, right?
