Su Quan, the general manager of Wuxiang Hou Mansion, was nearly fifty years old and looked like a shrewd and capable man. He ran into the hall anxiously and before he could say anything, Su Zhen had already thrown the house deed and said, "What's going on?" What's going on?"
Su Quan was confused and confused. He bent down to pick up the house deed, opened it and took a look. His face suddenly changed. He knelt down and said in a trembling voice: "Master, old slave... old slave deserves to die...!"
Su Zhen opened his eyes wide and said sternly: "Do you really know the reason for this house deed? Aren't the house deeds always stored in the accounting room?" He stood up, took two steps forward, pointed at Su Quan and said, "Tell me, what on earth is going on? What’s going on, why did someone go there with the house deed?”
Su Quan just buried his head in the ground and said repeatedly: "Master Hou, this slave deserves to die, please forgive me!"
Su Zhen was a little angry. He raised his foot and kicked Su Quan on the shoulder. It took a lot of force. Su Quan was kicked to the ground. However, Su Zhen's body was weak. After the kick, he staggered and almost fell. On the ground, he barely stood up and said angrily: "Explain clearly to me, how could this house deed be taken away by others?" Seeing that Su Quan buried his head and did not dare to speak, he said coldly: "If you can't explain clearly, you can do it now. Get out of the Hou Mansion, and don’t let me see you again."
Su Quan was trembling all over, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Yes... it's the eldest lady...!"
As soon as these words came out, Qi Ning's face turned cold and he sneered in his heart.
"Miss? Zixuan?" Su Zhen was stunned, "What does this have to do with her?"
It happened that someone outside reported at this time: "Report to the Marquis, there is a military officer named Jiang outside who wants to see you!"
"Yuan Wai Lang?" Su Zhen raised his head and waved: "What nonsense Yuan Wai Lang? Go tell him that I don't have time to see guests today and let him go back."
Qi Ning frowned. As soon as he heard the name Jiang, a member of the Ministry of War, Wai Lang, he thought of Jiang Suiyun and secretly wondered what that boy was doing at the Wuxiang Hou Mansion.
"Master Marquis, he said he came here specially to pay a visit to you." The servant outside said: "There is his famous assassin here, and he said he must give it to Master Hou."
Su Zhen hesitated for a moment and then said: "Bring it over."
The servant brought the famous assassin up. Su Zhen took a look and immediately said: "It turns out to be Mr. Jiang from Donghai. Let's invite him in first...!" After the servant stepped back, Su Zhen turned back to look at Qining and asked with a frown. Said: "Where have you been? Why do you have the deed of the house in your hand?"
"I came here today, and I just want to ask, do you care about the mother and daughter?" Qining said lightly.
Su Zhen sneered and said, "Whether I care or not, what does it have to do with you? When will it be your turn to intervene in this matter?"
"The Marquis of Wuxiang seems to be ignorant." Qi Ning smiled faintly: "I was hired by Mr. Zhuo as a teacher of Qionglin Academy. Xiaoyao is a student of Qionglin Academy. If something happens to the student, of course I will be the teacher. You have the right to ask."
"What?" Su Zhen obviously knew nothing about this matter and said in surprise: "You... are you hired as a teacher by Qionglin Academy?" He was doubtful.
Qi Ning said: "It just so happens that Jiang Yuanwailang from the Ministry of War is about to arrive. You can ask him. Of course, your eldest lady in the Su family knows more about this matter. Didn't she tell you?"
Seriously, Cao Cao is about to arrive. As soon as Qi Ning finished speaking, Su Zixuan's cheerful voice came from outside: "Dad, Mr. Jiang is here. He is now a member of the Ministry of War...!" In the voice, Su Zixuan almost said After trotting into the hall, Qi Ning saw that she was dressed quite beautifully today, and her face was full of joy.
Su Zixuan entered the house with a happy face at first, but when she saw Qi Ning sitting in the hall, she was startled for a moment, then her face turned cold and she said: "You... why did you come to my house?"
Qi Ning said calmly: "Su Zixuan, you are so unruly, who taught you? Didn't other teachers in the academy teach you what it means to respect teachers and respect morality?"
At this moment, Jiang Suiyun was seen entering the hall, followed by two servants, carrying a bunch of gifts in large and small bags.
Jiang Suiyun was dressed as Yushu Linfeng as always. Last time he was beaten by Qining, half of his face was swollen and even his teeth were knocked out. After a few days, he has generally recovered. If you don't look closely, you can't tell anything is wrong. When he entered the hall, he was smiling at first, but when he saw Qi Ning, he was stunned for a moment.
Seeing his appearance, Qi Ning knew that this kid must have used some medicine, otherwise he would never have recovered so quickly.
When Su Zhen saw Jiang Suiyun, he smiled. Jiang Suiyun was stunned for a moment, but quickly recovered his composure, stepped forward with a smile, saluted Su Zhen and said, "Junior, pay homage to the Marquis of Wuxiang!"
Su Zhen smiled and said: "You don't have to be so polite. When your father came to Beijing, I met him once, so we are considered old friends."
Su Zhen said hurriedly: "My father told the junior about this matter. He also said that the Marquis of Wuxiang was young and handsome at that time. He told the junior to come and visit the Marquis." He turned around and winked, and the two people behind him immediately Large and small packages of gifts were delivered into the house, and Su Zhen asked, "What are you doing?"
"Master Hou, these are some small gifts brought by the younger generation from the East China Sea. Some of them are rare items returned from overseas trade. Although they are not worth a few coins, they can still be enjoyed. Master Hou, please do not refuse. This is My father warned me that if the Marquis refuses to accept it, I will not be able to explain it to my father when I see him in the future."
Su Zhen said: "It doesn't matter, your father is not an outsider." He motioned Jiang Suiyun to sit down, but Su Zixuan said with a smile: "Master Jiang, sit here. It turns out that your father and I have known each other for a long time."
Suddenly they heard a cough, and several people looked over, and it was Qin Ning who came from it. Qin Ning was sitting with his big horse and golden sword, not looking away. Jiang Suiyun's face darkened, he hesitated, but finally walked over and bowed respectfully. , said: "I will pay my respects to Jin Yihou!"
Qi Ning said calmly: "Before, you were a virtuous person and had no official status. I didn't care about you. But today, if you still don't understand the rules, I can let you pack up and leave the capital immediately. Can you believe it?"
Jiang Suiyun gritted his teeth in his heart, but still held back, forced a smile, and said nothing.
With Su Zhen by her side, Su Zixuan sneered: "If you want to show off your power, you can do it anywhere, but not in my Wuxiang Marquis Mansion."
"Su Zixuan, do I need to show off my power in front of you?" Qi Ning said calmly: "You don't have to see Jiang Suiyun here and show off to your face. What kind of beautiful girl is our Mr. Jiang?" I haven't seen him before. We had dealings on the Qinhuai River a while ago. If you weren't the eldest lady of the Wuxiang Marquis Mansion, I really doubt whether he was looking at you."
Everyone present was astonished. They never expected that Qi Ning would speak so directly and not spare any dignity for Su Zixuan.
Su Zixuan's face was red and she was extremely embarrassed. She clenched her teeth and said, "Dad, you... look...!"
Su Zhen frowned and said coldly: "Qining, you have inherited the title after all, can you be more careful with your words?"
"Marquis Wu Xiang, the student made a mistake, and the teacher pointed it out for her own good." Qi Ning said, "But I'm not here today for this matter." He stretched out his hand to Su Quan and said, "Bring the house deed!"
Su Quan was stunned and looked at Su Zhen. Su Zhen sneered and said, "This house deed belongs to my Su family, why should I give it to you?"
"I'm sorry, I gambled five hundred taels of silver to get this house deed." Qining stood up and went over to take the house deed back from Su Quan. "As for how this house deed left your house, you should ask your family This eldest lady."
Su Zixuan's expression changed suddenly when she heard the house deed.
Su Zhen looked at Su Zixuan and asked, "What's going on with the house deed?"
"I... I don't... don't know...!" Su Zixuan lowered her head, her voice a little soft.
Qi Ning put away the house deed and said calmly: "I came here today to explain to the Marquis of Wuxiang that the place where the mother and daughter lived has been smashed to pieces, not even the pots and pans are left, let alone Even if you want to have a meal, you can’t live there. By the way, Xiaoyao’s mother has lost her mind. She can no longer hear what others say. Xiaoyao is already preparing to take her mother to beg for a living...! "
Su Zhen's face became extremely ugly.
"They have lived a very miserable life over the years. Of course, in the eyes of wealthy people, those poor people are not worth paying attention to." Although Qi Ning's voice was calm and calm, the words were as cold as ice: "Someone In this cold weather, some local gangsters came with the house deeds and forced their mother and daughter to wander outside. Su Zhen, if you don't know about this, I still have the last bit of respect for you as a junior, but if you This matter is very clear, so I can only say that not only are you unworthy of the title of Marquis of Wuxiang, but you are also not worthy of the title of a man at all."
"Shut up!" Su Zhen growled, and then looked coldly at Su Zixuan, "Did you find the house deed from the accounting room and take it out?"
Su Zixuan lowered her head and did not dare to speak.
"I said, no one is allowed to provoke them." Su Zhen said coldly: "You raise your head."
Su Zixuan was obviously still a little afraid of Su Zhen. She raised her head slightly and Su Zhen said sternly: "Let me ask you again, did you get the deed to the house?"
"I...!" Su Zixuan bit her lips, raised her head suddenly, and said loudly: "Yes, I took it. I... I just don't want it to be easy for them. Those pair of bitches, despicable and shameless, they...!"
"Snapped!"
With a crisp sound, Su Zhen actually raised his hand, slapped Su Zixuan hard on the face, and shouted angrily: "Shut up!"
Su Zixuan was stunned for a moment. She raised her hand to cover her slapped face in confusion and looked at Su Zhen blankly. There was a dead silence in the hall. Suddenly, Su Zixuan shouted: "You... you hit me? You... Beat me for those two despicable women? I... I don't want to live anymore...!" He turned around and ran out of the lobby.
Jiang Suiyun immediately followed and shouted: "Miss Su, Miss Su...!" and chased out.
Su Zhen's face turned pale, he was panting, and his body was shaking. Su Quan hurriedly stepped forward to help Su Zhen sit down. Qining walked over, glanced sideways, and said lightly: "I'm Xiaoyao's Sir, she is in trouble now, so we will temporarily place them in Jinyihou Mansion." Without saying much, he walked away.
Su Zhen raised his hand and opened his mouth to say something, but no sound came out. He watched Qi Ning leave.
