Seeing Bai Yunfei's proud face, Qian Tu's suspicion of him grew day by day. His wealth seemed to fall from the sky, which was incredible.
Ordinary people need to work hard to make money, but Bai Yunfei's money seems to come too easily, which is beyond everyone's imagination.
Two hundred taels of silver per person, ten people are two thousand taels, and there are at least twenty women in the field, which is more than four thousand taels of silver. It is difficult for ordinary people to earn such a huge sum of money in eight lifetimes, even the Qian family It is impossible to come up with such a huge amount at once.
However, Bai Yunfei was relaxed and relaxed, as if this was just a trivial matter to him.
The more he thought about it carefully, the more Qian Tu felt something was wrong. Bai Yunfei could promote his father to the chief instructor of Lingcheng's 100,000 Guards Army with just one sentence, and promote his eldest brother from a soldier to a deputy general. In addition, he could effortlessly spend so much wealth.
All this shows that Bai Yunfei is by no means an ordinary member of the Shang clan, and it is impossible for him to have such simple connections with people in the imperial court.
What is his origin?
Could it be that he is from the imperial court?
If he is the son of a powerful person in the court, then all this can be explained reluctantly, but even a corrupt official will not spend so much money at once, let alone do it so blatantly, so there is only one possibility...
Relatives of the emperor?
For a moment, Qian Tu's mind was racing and he thought about many things.
"Second brother, what are you thinking about?"
The eldest brother's hand patted Qian Tu's shoulder, waking him up from his thoughts. He came back to his senses and looked at his eldest brother, but the doubts in his heart still lingered.
He shook his head, "Nothing,"
As he said that, he looked at the door. The originally noisy scene had returned to its usual tranquility. The women had dispersed, and Bai Yunfei had disappeared.
"Where are the people?"
Qian Tu's eyes were a little confused, and he murmured softly.
The eldest brother replied: "They were all taken away by Brother Yunfei."
"Brother Yunfei?"
Qian Tu couldn't help but glance at his eldest brother suspiciously, "Brother, you usually call me by his first name. Why are you so friendly all of a sudden now?"
Hearing this, Qian Cheng smiled and replied: "Hey, Bai Yunfei, I just thought he was a playboy before. I didn't expect that he has helped our family a lot in recent times. Unknowingly, we have more people." It's a bit of a friendship. Besides, when you were injured, if it weren't for his timely help, we would have been killed by the Wang family. Oh, that's right."
Speaking of this, he seemed to remember something, "There is also that incident at Baihua Pavilion. I heard from the guards of the City Lord's Mansion that someone went to see the Lord of the City that night. The figure of that person was similar to Bai Yunfei. Although It was already late at that time and I couldn't see very clearly. But after I thought about it carefully, when you came back that night, Brother Bai Yunfei was not in the guest room of the Qian Mansion. I guess it was him who went to the City Lord's Mansion."
"Brother means that Bai Yunfei has a close relationship with the city lord?"
"This is just my guess, but as his friend, you should know him better. In any case, I always feel that his whereabouts are always elusive, and some things are always unpredictable."
Qian Cheng continued: "Furthermore, I have always been suspicious of the so-called secret agent organization of Lingcheng Baihua Pavilion. Over the years, there has been no clue, and even if the interrogation of those people did not find any abnormalities, why did they suddenly become secret agents? If it weren’t for the fact that it involves you, I would have wanted to step in and investigate again.”
Hearing this, Qian Tu frowned deeper, "Brother means..."
Qian Cheng interrupted: "Don't worry, I don't mean anything else, I'm just curious about this matter. After all, Bai Yunfei has been helping our family. Since they don't want to reveal too much, we don't have to ask the question." , but this will hurt others."
He sighed: "Although I don't have much contact with Bai Yunfei, I can see that he is a friend worth making."
Qian Tu was silent for a moment, then nodded slowly, "I understand."
"Okay, let's go back. People from the Wen family are coming in the next few days, so we will be very busy."
"Um."
The two walked towards the door.
…
At night, Bai Yunfei returned to the Qian Mansion drunk. He was helped by several servants to the guest room and lay on the soft and comfortable bed. He closed his eyes with contentment and a faint smile on his lips.
Half an hour later, he woke up leisurely and looked at the unfamiliar environment. A wave of dizziness stimulated by alcohol hit him, and he suddenly had a splitting headache.
Where is this?
Bai Yunfei rubbed his head and shook his groggy head. He struggled to sit up, looked at the empty room, and remembered what happened today.
"I said you bought your own house in Lingcheng, why are you still staying at my house?" At this time, he looked up and saw Qian Tu sitting on the chair in the guest room without knowing it, shaking the wine gourd in his hand. .
Bai Yunfei curled his lips and said, "Your home is my home. I can come when I want and leave when I want. This is what your father agreed to."
"snort!"
Qian Tu snorted coldly and handed the gourd in his hand to Bai Yunfei.
Bai Yunfei stretched out his hand to catch it. Although he had already drank a lot of wine, for a drinker, one never refuses to drink too much. He raised his head and drank, "What is this? It tastes quite special."
"Pure rice wine." Qian Tu said slowly.
Bai Yunfei laughed loudly and said, "I have never tasted this stuff before. It tastes really good."
After taking a few sips of wine, Bai Yunfei felt dizzy again, and then his mind began to blur, and he supported his forehead with his hands.
Qian Tu stood up and took the wine bottle from his hand, "My guess is good, those shrews couldn't escape your clutches, right?"
Bai Yunfei narrowed his eyes, and a lewd smile appeared on his face, "Brother Qian, what you said makes me look like a lewd thief, but I can tell you that I am a gentleman!"
"Are you a gentleman?"
Qian Tu sneered and said mockingly: "Is it better for a gentleman to have a wife?"
Bai Yunfei immediately retorted: "What do you know? This is called love! It's not a married woman. I love anyone in their thirties. You don't understand that the older you get, the deeper the love becomes. You, you usually only know how to practice, don't you?" How can we understand the love in the world..."
Before he finished speaking, Bai Yunfei fell asleep with a bang.
Qian Tu glanced at him with disdain, put the wine gourd on his table wordlessly, and then hurriedly turned around and entered his small courtyard. He dragged his tired body to bed and lightly covered himself with a thick quilt.
The night seemed extremely long, and Qian Tu had never felt this way before.
During this long night, he had many dreams.
In the dream, he saw his third brother with an angry face, scolding him constantly.
In another dream, he saw his younger siblings covered in blood, holding a sword in their hands, walking toward him step by step...
After struggling to escape those terrible nightmares, he fell into a wonderful and mind-blowing dream.
In the dream, Chun Shisanniang's face sometimes moved away and sometimes came closer, like a delicate flower, constantly changing postures in his consciousness.
Her pink lips, with a faint cold fragrance, gradually came closer and touched his lips gently, like a breeze blowing by, shocking his body and mind.
Qian Tu watched Chun Shisanniang kissing him passionately. His eyes lost focus and an intoxicated look appeared on his face, as if they had been immersed in a sea of tenderness.
The snow-white slender jade hand stretched out from the darkness, shining with bright luster, gently caressing his cheek, like a wisp of gentle wind blowing, making him feel extremely warm.
Qian Tu opened his arms and slowly wrapped his arms around Chun Shisanniang's slender waist. Their bodies were close together, as if they were integrated into one body.
Just as the two became closer and Qian Tu's emotions reached their peak, he suddenly felt that the light cold fragrance on Chun Shisanniang's body became stronger, as if it made him sneeze.
He woke up with a start, gasping for air, his forehead soaked with sweat.
"Huh...how could I have such a dream..." he said to himself.
He looked around and realized that everything just now was just a dream. Qian Tu took a long breath and sighed at his luck and helplessness.
It was still dark, and darkness enveloped the entire Lingcheng.
Qian Tu lay on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep. Finally, he sat up, put on a thin piece of clothing, and walked out of his room.
In the yard, the moonlight fell like water, reflecting a blurry figure.
Qian Tu frowned and walked over, only to realize that the man was his father.
"Dad, why are you... not sleeping?" Qian Tu approached and asked softly.
Qian Wuliang turned around suddenly, seemingly surprised. "Oh, I just slept for a while, but I couldn't fall asleep anymore. Come out and get some fresh air."
After Qian Tu heard this, he saw worry in his father's face and eyes. He must have been worried about his younger brother Qian Hao again. Although this father said he was very decisive, he was very cruel in his heart. I'm afraid at this moment Still regretting my previous attitude.
"Dad, actually what happened to the third brother is also my fault. If it wasn't for Kotokuji..."
"Stop talking, what you did is not wrong. The monks at Gaode Temple don't practice well, but they use this method to show the efficacious effect of praying for a child. I would do the same thing if I met him." Qian Wuliang waved his hand and interrupted. After hearing what Qian Tu said, he asked again: "Hey, by the way, why didn't you sleep?"
"Uh...hehe, I actually just woke up..." Qian Tu replied in embarrassment.
"Okay, I'm going back. It's getting cold, so wear more clothes." Qian Wuliang patted his shoulder, then turned and walked back to his bedroom.
"well……"
Looking at his father's back, Qian Tu couldn't help but sigh, full of worry and helplessness.
However, at this moment, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a fat figure climbing out of the courtyard wall of his house. Qian Tu frowned and hurriedly chased after him.
