Before Nanke and Wutong stepped into Liudu City, a white carrier pigeon quickly passed through the city gate, skillfully turned the direction, and soon fell into a large mansion in the city.

Whenever a town is established with some age, a "rich family" belonging to the town will naturally be born. It is either the savings of ancestors for generations or other opportunities. In the end, a higher class than ordinary people will always be formed together.

As a wealthy family in Liudu City, the Deng family has reproduced for four or five generations in the city, which can be regarded as witnessing the rise and prosperity of this border town with its own eyes. Its foundation and strength are relatively deep in this small world.

Although no one in his family joined the imperial court and there was no one in the capital here, his family business, shops, and business were also considered to be very successful, and he was well-known in the city.

Compared with the courtyard purchased by the head of the Li family, the Deng family's mansion is obviously much more luxurious. First, the area is wider, and secondly, the furnishings have been clearly carefully set up. At least in this Liudu City, this layout and decoration can be regarded as luxurious and exquisite.

At this time, the sky was dark and the water vapor was scattered between the houses. The whole city seemed to be still sleeping. There were only a few servants in the corridors in the Deng family's mansion being cleaned routinely, and the real owners were still sleeping.

After all, businessmen are not as good as officials. Although they don’t have any power at hand, they have relatively fewer clamps on their necks. At the time, they don’t need to report to the yamen, but can fully enjoy the morning sleep.

‘Swoosh swish swish swish…’

When the broom made of dead grass swept, it will make a sound. At this time, it seems a little noisy in the quiet environment, but it also gives the house some vitality and vitality.

At this time, another sound suddenly participated, and the sound of birds flapping their wings attracted the attention of several servants.

The pigeons in this world are different from those recognized by Nan Ke in his previous life. Although they look similar, they have to be significantly larger than a few times, just like a falcon wrapped in white hair, which can be easily discovered.

Being a servant in a wealthy family must be better than that of ordinary mountain villagers. Although I have never raised this pigeon, everyone has seen it. I don’t find it strange to see it at this time.

That is, he looked up and then lowered his head to continue his work.

However, one of the servants took a look, then quickly threw the broom in his hand to his companion, covered his stomach and shouted, "Oh, my stomach hurts, you can help me first, I will serve you tomorrow!"

After saying that, he didn't wait for his companions to answer, and ran through the corridor and into the inner courtyard.

The Deng family is rich after all. This house is divided into an outer courtyard and an inner courtyard. Most of the outer courtyards are places to meet guests, and this inner courtyard is the residence of the masters and young men in the house.

There are three separate small buildings in the inner courtyard, the one among which is the residence of the Deng family master. The servant took a quick look and saw that there was no movement. He quickly touched the door on the left and knocked gently.

"Young Master, Young Master..."

"who!"

An impatient voice sounded inside the house.

"Hiss, young master boo, the bird is coming again!"

The room became quiet. After a while, the door was pushed open from inside. Master Deng, wearing a green robe, walked out. He looked handsome and looked like a big boy in his outfit.

When Mr. Deng went out, he rubbed his sleepy eyes first, glanced at the carrier pigeon parked on the roof, and waved to the servant.

“Go down.”

"Yes." The servant turned around and prepared to go down.

"Come back!" Master Deng called out again, and after shouting at the servant, he stretched out his hand.

The carrier pigeon blinked spiritually, fell from the roof, and stretched out its claws to reveal the notes tied to it.

Master Deng skillfully removed the note, took a look, his face suddenly changed, and he blurted out:

"Damn it!"

“Puff…”

Master Deng ignored the carrier pigeon that was scared away, stood in a gloomy expression for a while, and looked up at the servant who was standing waiting.

"You are smart, didn't you disturb my father."

"The master's house has not moved yet." The servant bent over and folded his hands on his cuffs, and asked carefully: "Young Master, but what unreasonable requests have been made there?"

Since he reacted when he saw the carrier pigeon, he naturally knew some of his son's secrets.

"Haha, it's not just unreasonable!" Mr. Deng's eyes seemed to be able to spit out fire, "They are simply lawless. This place is the capital, not their small mountain village!"

"Then..." The servant looked at the letter carefully, and saw that Mr. Deng had no intention of covering up, so he boldly started to look at it. After a while, he immediately covered his mouth.

After a slower pace, the servant approached a little and whispered: "Young Master, this, this, murder is a serious crime!"

"Don't I know?" Mr. Deng glared at the servant, gritted his teeth, as if he was saying something harsh, but after holding it in for a long time, he said something, "You go to the Dou family to know about that woman later. I can't handle this matter alone!"

............

............

In the blink of an eye, the sky had become completely brighter. Although the heavy clouds blocked the sunlight, the streets were still brighter, and the endless scene of pedestrians returning to the streets in the city were restored.

The streets of Liuducheng are definitely not as prosperous as other cities that are more relied on, but they also have their own characteristics, or due to regional reasons, there are all kinds of pedestrians dressed in Liuducheng Street.

At first glance, you may feel messy, and it is like entering a dyeing workshop with messy colors. However, according to the rules, you can generally be divided into three categories of people:

A kind of dressed up in ordinary people, wearing coarse cloth clothes on their bodies, and perhaps there is a patch in the inconspicuous position. You can tell at a glance that it is an ordinary family in the capital;

One type of people has different clothes, some wear long gowns of knights, and some wear strange clothes. The former is a ranger who runs through the world, and the latter is a minority from the mountains of 100,000. In fact, it can be classified as a foreign population;

As for the last category, although there are different outfits, it can be seen from the clothing fabrics and accessories that their family is well-off. They are either rich young masters or noble young masters. Such people are not considered foreigners or locals. In a sense, the entire Great Chu is considered their world.

At this time, a carriage was parked next to a restaurant. On the street opposite the carriage, two beggars, one big and one small, were standing on the street, and the big one looked around and seemed to be surprised everywhere.

The maid got off the carriage first, then turned around and lifted the curtain of the carriage, and helped a woman dressed in a noble lady get off the carriage.

The lady was wearing goose yellow clothes, with a green jade hairpin on her bun, and her face was obviously applied, and her bright red lips compared the vermilion sedan chair beside her.

"Please please here, please here." The restaurant servant came up enthusiastically and led the woman in respectfully.

This woman is a regular customer in the store and is familiar with the boss. She came here to say hello before she came.

Without staying in the lobby on the first floor, the woman was led directly by the servant to the door of a private room on the second floor. She did not take the stairs, but went around to the back of the restaurant and went upstairs from a more hidden location.

He gave the servant a few coins of copper coins. The woman looked at the maid, "Xiaohua, watch at the door. Without my instructions, no one can be put in."

"Yes." The maid who called Xiaohua stood honestly on one side.

The woman took a deep breath, subconsciously pursed her lips, and then pushed open the door and walked in.

The private room was quite spacious, with a large square table placed in the middle, with several chairs placed around it. At this time, Master Deng was sitting on the chair inside, his face looking a little dull.

When he saw the woman coming in, Mr. Deng squeezed a smile on his face and said, "Ying'er, you're here."

Fu Ying sat down opposite Mr. Deng. His expression was a little complicated, as if he was a little resentful, but there were other emotions mixed in the resentment, but in just a moment, it was covered up instantly.

"What's wrong with you asking me to come out? Do you know that whenever we meet here, not only us, but also the family behind us will die.

Also, I came out today, because you are just an old man in the village who doesn’t get rid of it for a day, so I can’t sleep all day long. I’m going to make it clear to you this time.”

Master Deng stood up with a smile, sat down beside Fu Ying, grabbed Fu Ying's hand on the table with one hand, and whispered: "We haven't seen each other for a long time, right? I miss you so much."

Fu Ying frowned and did not push away Master Deng's hand, but his expression became colder. "If you have any questions, just say that you can't hide your thoughts from me. If you really miss me, you have a chance in the past few years."

Master Deng was silent for a while when he heard this. Seeing that the woman looked really impatient, he decisively took back his hand and whispered: "That incident was not my fault back then."

"It's not your fault?" Fu Ying looked up at the man opposite him, "You promised me back then and immediately proposed to my father when I came back. I was happily waiting at home...

As a result, I was waiting for the team to propose marriage, but why isn’t the one who proposes marriage not you!”

Mr. Deng's lips twitched and explained, "How could I offend your husband's family? Who knew that before we came back from that village, your father secretly accepted someone's betrothal gift?"

"Ha, I can't afford to offend me, and I blame my father. If I can't afford to offend, I can give up my beloved woman, or do you just treat me as a toy from the beginning?" Fu Ying looked at Master Deng disdainfully and continued:

"At this point, I don't want to say anything more to you. You will be rotten in your stomach, treating you well or treating me well. I just want to know why you asked me out today?

Is the old man in the village missing money or other objects? It’s fine if you handle these small things yourself, why do you want me to pay you some money?"

"Even if you don't mention this, I dare not talk about it to others." Mr. Deng rubbed his head, took out the note he received in the morning and handed it to Fu Ying and said:

"But the problem is that we don't know about this."

Fu Ying took the note and glanced at the contents inside. His face turned pale and he cursed: "This madman, this old man is not crazy. Why has he been getting too far over the years?"

"Who said no?" Mr. Deng sighed, "But the problem is that the handle is in his hands. If he really shakes it out, it's the same as you said, and both of us may have to finish it."

"Then...then you can't do this. Where is the capital? Killing people here is a serious crime. We are not a ranger and beggar. If you can run away, the monk can't run away. Even if my husband's family can't shelter you!

If you really help him kill someone, although you can hide it for a while, who knows what more excessive demands this old man will make next time, let alone what if someone finds out?"

"That's why I asked you to discuss it. Look, if we move cleaner, would it be..."

Fu Ying calmed down and glared at Master Deng, "You are afraid you are crazy!"

Mr. Deng's face darkened, "I'm crazy? What do you think should I do? Killing is a death sentence. Is it not a death sentence if our case is revealed?"

"..." Fu Ying was silent for a while, and then said slowly: "But the problem is that a big man seems to have come to the city recently. If he bumps into it, he will not be able to fall."

"How old?" asked Master Deng. His news was not as good as the woman in front of him.

Fu Ying raised his hand and pointed at the top, "It's unspeakable."

Master Deng frowned, thought for a while and said in a deep voice:

"Your husband's family is not in charge of patrols in the city. I mean, you are familiar with his subordinates, and you will find an excuse to hold a party tonight, and put on a sympathetic attitude of being a subordinate...

With the power of your husband's family, even if the patrol was negligent for a night, he would not open his eyes to say anything. As for the action, I will leave it to me. I will find someone to do it cleanly. No one will report to the official at that time. Who knows this?"

"But......"

"No, but that old guy has a handle. I understand his temperament. If he really doesn't rely on him, he really dares to come and die together with us. We will rely on him once this time...

After the matter is over, I promise to destroy the village by the end of this year at the latest, and you will continue to be your noble lady. As for me, I will never have any connection with you again."

"this......"

"We still have to hesitate? We really have no choice. We will either die without a doubt or have a way out. The old man gives us little time. Either we should do it quickly or just go home and drink a glass of poisoned wine by ourselves, so as to avoid suffering before death."

"I mean, if you really do something, don't leave your tail."

"That's of course!"

Master Deng breathed a sigh of relief.

then,

He walked out without looking back.
