Chapter 471
Chapter 471
In Shouhou's heart, he absolutely does not want to offend such a behemoth as the Hua family, because he knows that if he really wants to provoke a behemoth like the Hua family, sometimes it will be more troublesome than getting into trouble with the government.
Because the government can still hide, but if the Hua family is angered, it is definitely easier for the Hua family to deal with him than to crush an ant to death.
But if the other party is just a housekeeper, Thin Monkey definitely can try this deal, not to mention that he only seeks money and does not kill his life.
At that time, I should be a little more concealed and release the person after getting the money. The Hua family should not go to war for 100 taels of silver.
Shouhou secretly made up his mind in his heart, mainly because he had no other choice at this time, the brothers came out with him, and they couldn't return empty-handed.
Moreover, Shouhou knew very well what his subordinates looked like, no matter what he couldn't watch them starve to death.
The most important thing is that Skinny Monkey has also noticed that the business is not doing well now, even if he comes out next time, he still doesn't know if the business can be done.
If he had these 100 taels, he would be able to start a small business when he returned to his hometown, and he would no longer have to do the work of licking blood.
Thinking of the thin monkey who was hesitant here, he instantly made up his mind.
It's just that he didn't know that when he was inquiring about Huafu, he had already been targeted by Huafu. Manager Wu hurried to report to Huayumo:
"Young master, since last night, there has been a man who has been wandering outside our mansion. This morning, he even started to inquire about the affairs of the Hua mansion. The young master thinks that he must be taken down."
Originally, Hua Yumo was studying the topographic map, but Yu Xiaotian had disappeared for so many days, and had never heard from her.
Neither his people nor the people sent by the court found any useful clues.
So these two days, Hua Yumo has been looking at the terrain around his eyes, restoring the scene at that time, trying to find some useful clues.
Hearing Guanshi Wu's words, Hua Yumo turned his eyes back from the topographic map, looked at Guanshi Wu and asked, "What kind of person is he?"
Wu Guanshi did not dare to hide anything. After hearing Hua Yumo's words, he immediately replied: "It's a middle-aged man who looks about 40 or [-] years old. From his accent, he doesn't sound like a local. Our spies reported that , this person's eyes look too shrewd, as if he is hiding something, he doesn't look like a good person."
After hearing Wu Guanshi's words, Hua Yumo fell into deep thought. If it was a competitor, she would never send such a person to inquire about the news.
Because the foreign accent alone is too easy to expose the target.
Moreover, Huafu didn't have business competition with anyone, who could it be?
Looking at the map in front of him, Hua Yumo immediately thought that this person might have something to do with Yu Xiaotian due to the keen feeling in his heart.
"What else is there about him?"
Hua Yumo's sudden and serious question made the housekeeper nervous, and after thinking for a while, he said: "By the way, he seems to have talked to a servant in the mansion.
I asked about the situation in the mansion, the treatment of the servants, and the stewards of the mansion, whether they were married, and whether they had children.The old slave was also mentioned in the speech! "
Wu Guanshi said that he didn't think these words were meaningful before, he just thought that this person might be sent by his opponent to use beauty tricks, but this person doesn't look very smart.
The things he asked were all irrelevant, he was already so old, if he wanted to marry a wife, he would have done so long ago, and he had to wait until now.
After so many years in Huafu, what kind of stunning beauty has never been seen, and how can he be easily confused by the other party's people, so he didn't take the other party's words to heart.
Now that Hua Yumo asked such a serious matter, Guanshi Wu's expression immediately became serious, and he felt that the reason for this person's visit was full of weirdness.
In Wu Guanshi's words, Hua Yumo seemed to catch something in an instant, and solemnly said to Wu Guanshi:
"If someone comes, send someone to follow him carefully. If he looks for you, you must be careful. This person may be related to the whereabouts of His Royal Highness."
Guanshi Wu has followed Hua Yumo for many years, so Hua Yumo naturally trusts him as a person, so he directly instructed.
When Guanshi Wu heard about this person, maybe he was concerned about the prince's whereabouts, his heart immediately became aroused. He had seen big storms in Huafu these years, but it was related to the safety of Daqi and the prince, so Guanshi had to be cautious.
At this time, a young man came to report that someone outside the door was looking for Wu Guanshi.
After Hua Yumo and Wu Guanshi heard this, their hearts moved, thinking that this person must be the person from this morning.
"Calm down!" Seeing the tense expression on Wu Guanshi's face, Hua Yumo ordered.
Although everything so far is just Hua Yumo's guess, but as long as she has a little relationship with Yu Xiaotian at this time, Hua Yumo will be extra careful at this time.
Steward Wu nodded solemnly to Hua Yumo. The prince is the grandson of the old lady, and his safety is related to the safety of the entire Hua family.
So even if it is to be loyal to the Hua family, he will try his best to do it well without any mistakes.
On Yu Xiaotian's side, after a few hours, she could feel that it was already noon, but Shouhou still didn't come.
Meals are still the same as yesterday. Each person has a dry food and a bowl of water, which is considered a day's food. With such a meal, it is impossible to be full after eating, and the only way is to keep from starving to death.
And the long-term hunger and panic also made some girls have no strength at all, let alone escape, I am afraid that if the door is opened at this time, they will not be able to go far.
Yu Xiaotian is better, after all, she has some internal strength, although it is still pitifully small, but at least her body is no longer so weak.
At this moment, when the girl handed her dry food, Yu Xiaotian clearly felt that there was something hard and cool, and it was handed to her hand.
Guessing what it was almost immediately, Yu Xiaotian didn't show any abnormality, put the thing in her sleeve, and said softly: "Thank you!"
The girl didn't speak, and went back to her place to do a good job. Fat Tiger monitored everyone's actions the whole time, and didn't find any abnormalities, so he said: "Be honest!"
He locked the door again and went out.
Yu Xiaotian finished the dry food in her hand, and then carefully groped in her sleeve for the thing the girl handed him.
It was a round stone the size of an adult's palm. It was not big, but it was hard. For Yu Xiaotian who didn't have any sharp weapon in his hand for self-defense at this time.
The stone came just in time.
Yu Xiaotian knew that this stone should be hidden by the girl for self-defense, but why she gave it to herself, Yu Xiaotian didn't know.
It may be that these days, the action of collecting stones has finally attracted the girl's attention. Thinking of this, Yu Xiaotian became more vigilant, and it seems that she has to be more cautious in the future.
