◇ Chapter 37 The owner of the manor is a homosexual
Chen Yanheng was very satisfied and mercifully let Su Wanwan go. He didn't feel at all that he was bullying others or abusing his power for personal gain. He was also particularly kind and amiable to his unmotivated student.
Early the next morning, the county magistrate who was promoted by Chen Yanheng from among the local county magistrates to temporarily take over as the prefect of Jiangzhou was waiting outside the government office early. Chen Yanheng saw that the several post-disaster documents he handled were relatively safe, so he went back to Beijing to sort things out.
They came quietly, but left with the imperial envoy's procession, so the whole journey was very high-profile.
Chen Yanheng was so proud of An Qin's initiative that he didn't notice that An Qin had become more taciturn along the way.
Finally, when passing by Fengyue Villa, An Qin escaped by peeing again and ran back to Fengyue Villa, and never came back.
Qi Xu cautiously asked for permission, saying that there was no rush to return to the capital, and they could wait for Master An - it turned out that Master Qu's real name was An Qin, not An Qin, and he had been using a fake name, which was told to him by the third princess.
Only then did Chen Yanheng suppress his restless expression. While telling Qi Xu to hurry on his way, he thought for a moment and sent a letter back to Chen Gui.
·
Fengyue Villa.
The owner of the manor disappeared for ten days, and finally another letter came. Shen Gui was overjoyed, thinking that this time it must be about serious matters.
The master is still reliable. It is impossible for him to leave such a big farm to an old man.
He felt relieved and slowly opened the letter from his master. When he saw the black words on the white paper, he suddenly gasped and almost fainted.
——Prepare the red silk, he is almost done.
It’s bullshit!
Chen Gui's legs suddenly felt better and he quickly left the villa.
·
The assassin village at the foot of the villa.
If an ordinary person broke in, no one would have guessed that this entire village was made up of assassins and their families.
An Qin had been back for a day and was quietly preparing hidden weapons and poisons in his room.
In fact, the Jiangzhou incident was over, and whether the imperial envoy was alive or not had little impact on the outcome of the Zhulong Sect. Assassinating Shen Yanheng on the road was the easiest and quickest way.
But he was very conflicted, and then he thought that since the owner of the manor wanted him to protect the imperial envoy to Jiangzhou, then before Shen Yanheng entered the imperial city, he was still the imperial envoy and was still within the scope of the manor owner's personal protection. He had to wait until Shen Yanheng's ceremonial escort arrived in Beijing and thoroughly understand the situation in Jiangzhou before he could take action.
An Qin had never hesitated so much before. The face of the shameless man in his mind appeared more and more rampantly, almost haunting him like a ghost.
At the same time, he thought that although Chen Yanheng was a bit shameless, he was very capable and meticulous. If Chen Yanheng had not told him later that Ying'er, whom he rescued, was also a member of the Dragon Slaying Sect, he would probably have been kept in the dark and only thought of Ying'er as a poor girl.
Such people can only be eliminated as enemies, but if they can be used by the owner of the manor, they will surely become a great help to the owner of the manor.
But his request...
"Brother, the owner of the manor has sent something again!"
An Xiner called out in surprise in the yard, dispelling the worries in An Qin's mind. He was stunned for a moment, then wiped his hands and went out.
"Anqin." Shen Gui hesitated and sighed.
Half of the things in the two large boxes were girls' clothes and jewelry. An Xiner ran over happily to compare them and left the small hall to the two of them.
Chen Gui wiped the sweat from his forehead, took a deep breath, and let out another long sigh.
An Qin, on the other hand, expressed his gratitude: "An Qin thanks the owner of the manor for his kindness."
He paused for a moment, and said in a low voice: "When Chen Yanheng returns to the Imperial City, I will definitely complete the task!"
Shen Gui: “…” He didn’t mean that.
An Qin's eyes were serious as he continued, "During assassin training, I believe we should also strengthen our concentration and... ruthlessness."
Talking about serious matters, Chen Gui finally stopped feeling guilty. "Assassin is just a profession. Ultimately, it's for making money. There will be no chance to come into contact with the master. Of course, you can be reluctant and fail the mission, but the commission will be reduced accordingly, and you will have to live a more frugal life. The assessment of the secret guard is much more serious..."
What's more, the lives of the whole family are at Fengyue Villa. As long as they don't turn against us, everything will be fine.
Chen Yanheng has always been generous. If the mission is not completed, he can offer a huge reward. With such a high amount of money, there will definitely be someone who will risk their life for this matter.
An Qin nodded, but he kept thinking about Shen Gui's words "the assassin will not have the opportunity to contact the master", and felt a little disappointed.
He still has to become a secret guard. Everything he is doing now can be done for the owner by another assassin, but only the secret guard can see the owner of the manor and protect him every step of the way.
If he wants to become a secret guard, there is only one way now - to exchange for Shen Yanheng's head.
An Qin's eyes turned cold, the fingers on his knees gradually curled up, he pursed his lips, and said nothing.
Chen Gui spoke incessantly, and finally regained some confidence.
Although he didn't know what trouble his master would cause next, as his master's most trusted butler, he naturally had to solve his master's troubles as much as possible.
Chen Gui picked up the teacup, took a sip, and gave An Qin a warning: "An Qin, the owner of the manor sometimes becomes mentally disturbed and does unexpected things, or even goes crazy. You have to be more patient with him."
It seems that as long as Shen Yanheng's head is obtained, he will definitely be a secret guard. Old Man Shen has begun to instruct him on the precautions for future protection.
An Qin nodded solemnly.
Apparently, the inoculation wasn't enough. Chen Gui continued, "You were also involved in Huang Chongwen's incident two years ago. I think I should let you know about this. The owner's parents were both tragically killed by Huang Chongwen. I remember that the owner was only five years old that year. The former owner and his wife... were tortured beyond recognition in front of him. If not for this, if the two elders were still alive, the owner would surely have been a gentle and elegant wealthy young man."
An Qin felt a pang of pain in his heart, and a sour taste came from the tip of his tongue.
He never knew about this.
I only saw the noble young man's downfall through the curtain ten years ago, and since then I have heard more about it from my companions. I only know that the owner of the manor is omnipotent and can almost control half of the Liang Dynasty.
"There's one more thing I must tell you." Chen Gui finally said something drastic, "The owner of the manor is a homosexual."
