Chapter 55 The Uninvited Jingmo
Chapter 55 The Uninvited Jingmo
Ten days after Wei Shuhan returned from the border, Jingmo, who had taken care of his own affairs, came without a call.
"I have seen the young master below."
"Jing Mo, long time no see."
Yan Qing poured him a cup of tea after locking the study.
Probably because we met more times and got to know each other better, Jing Mo became a lot more casual. After saying thank you, we sat down to have tea with him.
"It's rare that you come here uninvited."
Yan Qing smiled, he was used to Jing Mo's elusive appearance, and the sudden appearance of the other party gave him a feeling of surprise and surprise, which was quite subtle.
Jing Mo nodded: "I should have visited earlier, but I was delayed by something, so I came now."
"Oh?" Yan Qing was surprised, "Is there something special?"
Jing Mo stared at him for a few seconds and then asked back: "I don't know if it's something special about Mrs. Gongzi?"
"About Shuhan?" Yan Qing became serious after hearing this, and asked, "What's the matter?"
Jing Mo remained silent, and took out a contract book with bloody handprints on it from his arms. It was a life-demanding contract, and the person being demanded was Wei Shuhan.
"This..." Yan Qing's face suddenly turned pale, "What's going on?"
Jing Mo replied flatly: "Someone issued a reward order to Zhen to take the life of Young Master Wei."
Yan Qing bit her lip: "When?"
Jing Mo thought for a while:
"It was a few months ago, and the time to do it was when Mr. Wei was returning from the border..."
After speaking, he explained the process to Yan Qing carefully, and he was a little surprised when he finished speaking:
"I think Mr. Wei should have told Mr. Wei."
"He didn't say it," Yan Qing shook his head with a pale face after hearing this, and asked again: "Do you know who issued the reward order?"
The contract in his hand has no useful clues, it is just a piece of paper, without any token of the identity of the employer.
Jing Mo shook his head:
"I don't know, because this reward order has expired, and Chen will not accept the reward order for assassinating Mr. Wei in the future."
Not to mention that the contract rules do not allow the disclosure of employer information. Besides, the bounty hunters are extremely prepared for such things as rewards for human life. Most of them are reward orders that the original employer hired other people to issue. , and the token had already been taken back by the employer when he asked Xi Xie to withdraw the reward order from the employer, so it was difficult to find out.
He will not pursue the professional accomplishment that a hunter should have.
"Withdrawn..." Yan Qing breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you..."
Jing Mo nodded:
"The employer's reward is 20 taels of silver bills. Zhen's rule is: If it is not for life or death, if the reward order is withdrawn without reason and not executed, ten times the reward will be paid. Therefore, I came here to ask for [-] taels from the young master. pay the bounty."
It wasn't that the assassin failed because of his poor handling of affairs, but that he directly stopped him, so all the money had to be on Wei Shuhan's head.
Jing Mo said it very directly, and Yan Qing could hear it very clearly: He is asking for money.
Yan Qing was slightly taken aback, then smiled: "20 taels...no problem, I will give you all of it."
Although there is a lot of money, it is nothing compared to Shu Han.
"Thank you, Young Master." Jing Mo thanked, thought for a while and reminded:
"Although Chen will no longer accept this task, it does not mean that other people will not accept it. Therefore, Young Master and Wei Young Master should be careful. Although it is a bit impolite to say this, but the employer must not be ordinary if he can pay such a high price for a person's life. people, and is familiar with Mr. Wei's situation."
Yan Qing nodded: "I know."
It's just that they haven't made any substantial moves yet, so why can't some people tolerate Wei Shuhan?
After Jing Mo took the money, he left without stopping. Yan Qing had to believe that the always aloof hero really came to get money from him.
But think about it, they lost 20 taels for no reason, and the evil is wronged, so naturally it must be counted on them.
As soon as Jing Mo left, Yan Qing's mood sank, and his heart was full of anger. After Wei Shuhan came back, he kept silent about his assassination. If it hadn't been for Jing Mo's visit, he might not have known about it for the rest of his life. , really, not even telling him about such an important matter, he was so mad at him!
As the end of the year approached, there were more and more things to do in the house. Wei Shuhan was very busy all day long. In the morning, Yan Qing went out before Yan Qing got up, and at night, he came back exhausted after Yan Qing fell asleep.
Yan Qing wanted to argue with him about the assassin, but he couldn't find the right time. He felt uncomfortable, so he simply separated from him and went back to Qingfeng Pavilion to sleep. He secretly arranged for someone to investigate. During Han's departure from home and his return, did the people around the house behave abnormally.
In his previous life, he had never heard of the assassination of Wei Shuhan. If Wei Shuhan was in trouble because of the changes in the current situation, he would have to find a way to solve it. He was rehabilitated because he liked Wei Shuhan.
After the middle ten days of the twelfth lunar month, it began to snow day after day, and Wei Shuhan took some time off. After coming to Qingfeng Pavilion to find Yan Qing and having a few closed doors, he realized that he had been neglected by Yan Qing for a long time. According to Chen Xiang's tone, knowing that Yan Qing really didn't know why she was angry with him.
Think about it, he has been busy since he came back, could it be because of this?
"Young madam, the young master said he doesn't want to see you."
When Chen Xiang saw the person who came with the food box and said straight to the point, he couldn't help covering his mouth and laughing. This kind of childish young master now doesn't deliberately hide it in front of them, and directly expresses any dissatisfaction, unlike Putting on an old-fashioned look like before has become much cuter. Of course, this is only for matters related to the young lady, and the rest remains unchanged.
Wei Shuhan walked to the corridor, put away the umbrella and put it in the corner, and looked at the door of Yan Qing's study:
"Okay, if I have free time today, go and do some work. I'll take care of him here. If he keeps going on, he won't get sick. I'll go and have a look."
Chen Xiang smiled and bowed her body: "Okay, this servant will leave."
After walking a few steps, she stopped and turned back to remind him: "Young Madam, think about what you kept from the Young Master while you were away from home, which made the Young Master feel depressed."
Wei Shuhan raised his eyebrows: "Huh?"
Chen Xiang lowered her head: "Madam didn't tell the young master what happened outside after she came back."
Although the young master didn't say it himself, they could guess when he occasionally complained. She and Ying Li couldn't persuade the young master these days. It seemed serious, but the young lady was busy, so the few times were very late The young master has already fallen asleep, so he can only leave in order not to disturb him.
Therefore, this is the longest time since the young master and the young lady got married. It has been several days. Since the young lady is not busy today, let him coax people back. The masters have a harmonious relationship. They are servants. Life is comfortable.
