Chapter 737 I Am a Landlord (13)

No one from the Yamen dared to come. After the people from the He Mansion went to report to the official, they came back in despair. The Yamen said that they had cases to handle and no time to deal with civil disputes, and asked them to solve it themselves.

At this time, Shi Sheng had already searched He's residence and could not find He Qing.

He Qing didn't see any guests, it was because he wasn't in He's house at all.

"Ruan Xiaoyang, you're going too far!" He Ting followed Shi Sheng. As a scholar, he couldn't curse, so he could only say these words over and over again.

Su Hua followed He Ting, occasionally saying a few words, but it always added to the cake and made He Ting hate Shi Sheng even more.

Shi Sheng was a little annoyed when he heard this, "Am I going too far? Isn't it too much for your brother to pay to kill me?"

He Ting thought he heard wrongly, "What did you say?"

"I said your brother paid to kill me, do you understand? You're mentally retarded!" Shi Sheng strode out of the He Mansion.

Qiu Shui was also shocked by these words, and for a while he chased Shi Sheng away with a pale face.

It wasn't until Shi Sheng's figure disappeared around the corner that He Ting came back to his senses and looked at Su Hua, "She just said that my elder brother... paid to kill her?"

"It seems so." Su Hua nodded.

She basically stayed with He Ting in the He Mansion and rarely saw the eldest son. However, people in the He Mansion said that the eldest son had a good temper. He rarely went out to do activities because of his poor health.

How could he suddenly hire someone to kill someone? Or Ruan Xiaoyang?

"Impossible." He Ting shook his head and chased Shi Sheng out. He didn't believe that his elder brother would pay for the murder.

He Ting chased Shi Sheng outside the door and blocked her way, with a serious look on his face, "Miss Ruan, please explain clearly why my elder brother paid to kill you?"

Shi Sheng touched his face and said, "Do you think I'm as beautiful as a flower and I'm rich?"

He Ting: "..." How could he believe this reason?

He took a deep breath and warned sternly, "Miss Ruan, there is no conclusive evidence. Don't talk nonsense. This is a false accusation. My elder brother has no grievances against you and will not do such a thing."

Shi Sheng asked funnyly, "How do you know you have no enmity with me?"

"My eldest brother has never been out of He Mansion, let alone have any interaction with Miss Ruan. Miss Ruan, tell me, what grudge can my eldest brother have against you?"

Shi Sheng said calmly: "You can form enemies even if you haven't met before."

He Ting: "..."

How can we form a feud if we have never seen it before? He had never heard that statement before.

"Miss Ruan, your statement is too far-fetched. I can't believe it."

"What does it have to do with me whether you believe it or not? Do I want you to believe it?" Shi Sheng pushed him away, and his soft words fell into He Ting's ears along the wind, "If your brother is fine, why would he run away?"

He Ting had met his eldest brother before, but in the blink of an eye his eldest brother disappeared.

Naturally, he still didn't believe what Shi Sheng said, so he went back and asked someone to look for He Qing, but he searched He Qing's house and couldn't find He Qing.

The people serving He Qing didn't know where he had gone.

He Qing seemed to have disappeared from the world.

…

Qiu Shui followed Shi Sheng back home in confusion, his expression still ugly.

Her voice was trembling, "Miss, did He Qing really pay to kill you?"

"Yeah." He didn't just pay to kill her.

"What grudge do you and He Qing have?" Qiu Shui and He Ting had the same question.

Her young lady had met He Qing once in a teahouse that day, but she hadn't seen him again since then. What grudge could she have against He Qing?

"Maybe there was enmity in the past life." Shi Sheng rubbed the center of his eyebrows, "Let someone prepare hot water. I want to take a bath, and find someone else who I can trust. It must be someone who is particularly trustworthy."

Qiu Shui still wanted to ask, but seeing the tiredness on Shi Sheng's face, he nodded slightly, "I'll go right away."

The hot water was delivered quickly, and Shi Sheng soaked in it and thought about the tasks issued by the system.

Dugu Yi was the brother of the current emperor. He was named King of Pingnan, but he did not have a fief, which was equivalent to being imprisoned in the capital in disguise.

The person who imprisoned him was the regent Dugu Xiu.

At the beginning, Dugu Yi was the heir to the throne. Because of Lonely Xiu's intervention and support for the current emperor to ascend to the throne, Dugu Yi could only get the title of prince.

In the plot, Dugu Yi is a very smart person. He has always tried to protect himself. In the end, Dugu Xiu ascended the throne, and he was still King Pingnan.

It is not difficult to let such a person ascend to the throne. The question is why does the system want her to support such a person to ascend the throne?

[…] It’s just a mission, don’t think too much, no one is going to harm you.

"Yeah?"

[Do you think I can still lie to you now? ] It wanted to, but could it deceive her?

She seemed to have listened to what it said before, but in fact she didn't listen at all. She didn't believe it at all.

"I am becoming more and more self-aware." Shi Sheng nodded appreciatively. This was in line with a qualified system.

[...] It is waiting for its master to come back, hold it in, hold it back, [I said at the beginning that these planes are collapsed, and Dugu Xiu is no longer qualified to be an emperor. 】

"The scripts I read are actually useless, right?" Since the battle royale, the scripts have basically become decorations. Except for the law of immortality of the male and female protagonists, the plot has changed a long time ago.

Although the plot has changed, the biggest change was caused by you, host!

Don't just throw the blame away!

The system gave an aggrieved explanation, [It can be said that the script only gives you a general understanding of the world. In fact, the characters in it have already collapsed, and the plot will also change. 】

Now there is an unknown virus inside, and the plot is ever-changing.

Thinking of that virus, the system felt even more aggrieved. What level of anti-virus had the owner installed on it? It couldn't even catch its traces.

It can't compare to the host, so what's its use?

Shi Sheng nodded, "Step back."

[…] Cry with anger!

Master, if you don’t come back, you may not be able to see me!

When Shi Sheng came out of the bath, Qiu Shui was already waiting in the study with someone.

Shi Sheng went to the study and asked Qiu Shui to ghostwrite a letter. Her calligraphy was... like a dog crawling, and she couldn't even recognize it.

After Qiu Shui finished writing, he picked up the letter paper, blew on the ink on it, and handed it to Shi Sheng, "Miss, do you think this is okay?"

Shi Sheng glanced briefly and said, "Yeah."

She folded the letter, put it in an envelope, and handed it to the person waiting in the study.

"Send this letter to Lord Fan of Changfan Mansion. Remember, you must hand it to Lord Fan personally."

"Don't worry, miss. I've met Mr. Fan and I will definitely deliver the letter safely."

"Go ahead."

"Eh."

After the man went out, Qiu Shui asked his question, "Miss, why did you write to Mr. Fan?"

Master Fan was the master's friend during his lifetime. He had been here twice before. Qiu Shui remembered that he was a very kind person.

"I'm ready to rebel."

"Ahem." Qiu Shui choked on her saliva, quickly looked outside the door, and lowered her voice: "Miss... don't be joking, this is going to be beheading."

Shi Sheng glanced at Bai Qiushui, "Who are you kidding?"

System: Master, I have been poisoned. Is your anti-virus software pirated?

System owner: Nonsense, mine is genuine.

System: Then why was I poisoned?

System owner: Maybe the version is too low.

System: Then upgrade it for me!

System owner: Let Shi Sheng upgrade you.

System: ...it will just tear me apart.

System owner:…
