You Are Not the Only Rich Chapter 170

The door was pushed open, and a woman in black walked in. Two secret guards followed behind her, looking a little embarrassed.
Asher smiled, "Not as good as others?"
The secret guard whispered, "Palace Master, please forgive me." Although everyone was already alert enough, if the woman in black had not jumped into the yard by herself, I'm afraid no one would have discovered her until now.
"Go down." Asher didn't think much about it. After the secret guard left, the woman said directly, "I have something to talk to you about."
Oliver sat in the bed curtain, feeling a little embarrassed! Although it seemed a little stupid to sit on the bed in his jacket at this time, it seemed even stupider to put on his clothes and run out immediately. He could only comfort himself that there was a bed curtain anyway, so he could just continue sleeping.
How could this man do this, let him be brought in without saying a word?
Very annoying.
"What do you want from me?" Asher smiled and poured a cup of tea.
"It's rumored in the village that someone saw a monster in the back mountain last night, and it was him who poisoned Hua Niang." The woman said, "I came here to tell the Palace Master that the black shadow last night was not a monster, but me."
"The girl is Jianpo?" Asher asked.
The woman was surprised, "Do you recognize me, Palace Master Qin?"
"I guessed it." Asher said, "There are only a few people in this village who are better at martial arts than the secret guards of Shadow Chasing Palace. Plus, I heard the clan leader mention it during the day, so we can naturally connect them."
"Yes." The woman nodded, "I wanted to sneak down the mountain last night, but I didn't expect to be seen. My brother was afraid that I would mislead the palace master, so he asked me to come and tell him."
"Can I ask, what is the girl doing down the mountain?" Asher said.
The woman shook her head, "I'm sorry, but Palace Master, please rest assured. I came down the mountain for personal matters, and it has nothing to do with the village."
"Of course." Asher raised his eyebrows, "You're here, can you treat me to a cup of tea?"
The woman was a little surprised, "Tea?"
That's right, why do you want to drink tea? Shen Xiaoshou narrowed his eyes! His voice was still so gentle, did he want to kneel on the washboard?
"I want to ask you about some things in the village." Asher said.
"Why doesn't Palace Master Qin ask the clan leader?" the woman said, "My brother and I spend most of our time in the ancestral hall. The clan leader knows more about many things in the village than I do."
"I'm afraid that's not necessarily the case, right?" Asher smiled half-heartedly.
The woman frowned, "What does this mean, Palace Master?"
"If the girl really abides by the ancient precepts, I'm afraid she won't sneak down the mountain in the middle of the night." Asher shook his head with a smile.
The woman blushed, as if something was being said to her.
"Since the girl came here in the middle of the night, it means she is really doing it for the good of Baidi Village and wants me to eliminate interference and find out the truth as soon as possible." Asher said, "In that case, why don't you give me more clues?"
Seemingly moved by these words, the woman finally sat down hesitantly, "What does Palace Master Qin want to ask?"
"About Xiaoping's parents and uncle." Asher said, "How much do you know?"
"Them?" the woman said, "I'm not very familiar with them, but I also know that this family is very low-key on weekdays, rarely conflicts with others, and tolerates things as much as they can. Last time there was someone in the village A young boy deliberately made trouble by pouring water at the door of his house in the middle of winter, causing the small bottle to fall and cause bruises and swollen nose and face. No ordinary parent could bear this kind of thing. Everyone thought it would cause a scene, but Hua Niang just took the child away. I hugged him back without even a single complaint."
Oliver frowned in the bed curtain. Even an honest man has to have his limits. How could he swallow such anger?
"Since you are usually low-key, why would someone deliberately pour water on the door?" Asher asked.
"During that period, the mountains were covered with snow and there was not much food left in the village. The imperial court's aid was delayed in reaching Lamei City. Many shops were forced to close, so naturally there was nothing to buy." The woman said, "So the clan leader ordered every household to hand over their surplus food to eat in the big pot. The porridge and rice of other families were so clear that you could see the bottom. Only Xiaopingzi was a fairy boy, so his whole family had enough food. It was normal for some impetuous young people to be angry."
"That's right." Asher nodded, "What's the name of the young man who splashed water?"
"Bai Ping." The woman said, "But he is not a bad person, he just has a somewhat reckless personality. He said that he did not expect that the little bottle would run out first. He thought it would be Bai Fang or Bai Ah Liu, who had already been killed by the clan leader and Bai Ping. The whole village was taught a hard lesson."
"Other than that?" Asher asked, "Is there anything else?"
The woman shook her head. "It's just a matter between fellow villagers. There's really nothing unusual. I still haven't figured out who wanted to harm Xiaopingzi's parents."
"What about the monster in the back mountain?" Asher asked, "Since you are the gatekeeper of Baidi Village, you will inevitably have to deal with him. Can you tell me something about him?"
The woman shook her head, "He is usually very careful. He only comes to the village occasionally to steal food. He has never hurt anyone. Once, several dolls were frightened by him. In panic, they picked up the dolls and smashed them randomly. He only broke his head. Xueliu escaped without doing anything cruel, so my brother and I didn't feel sorry for him. "Otherwise, according to the customs of Baidi Village, if he was caught, he would probably die.
"What exactly is that monster?" Asher asked again.
"I don't know either." The woman said, "My brother and I went to the ravine several times to look for it, but we found nothing."
Oliver sighed in the bed curtains, it seemed that he didn't get many useful questions...
"I have to leave." The woman stood up, "Otherwise my brother will be anxious."
"It's not convenient to deal with you directly during the day." Asher said, "I wonder if I can come and visit you tomorrow night?"
"What else does Palace Master Qin want to ask?" The woman was puzzled. "I have told you everything I know."
"I want to see the sword soul." Asher said.
"...That's fine." The woman agreed, "Then tomorrow night at midnight, my brother and I will wait for the Palace Master in the room on the left side of the ancestral hall."
Asher nodded, watched her leave the room, and then returned to bed.
"Next time something like this happens again, I will participate too!" Shen Xiaoshou protested.
"No." Asher pinched him, "Ling'er looks best when her face is rosy while sleeping. I can't bear to let her go."
Oliver was angry, "Is this a valid reason?"
"Of course." Asher lay beside him, "I'm your husband."
Sister! Oliver rode on him, "I just asked so many questions, do you have any clues?"
"What do you think?" Asher interlocked his fingers with him, "I've been listening in bed too."
I just felt that there was nothing useful, so I asked you. Do you have to be so straightforward? Shen Xiaoshou protested in his heart, and then hummed, "Hurry up and say it!"
"What do you think Miss Jianpo went down the mountain for last night?" Asher suddenly asked.
"How would I know?" Oliver was stunned. I am not a god.
"Guess what?" Asher laughed. "It's the middle of the night and there's no one around. She can only do two things. One is stealing, burning, killing and looting. She probably won't do that. So it can only be the second thing. What do you think it is?"
"Huh?" Oliver frowned and thought about it, then said in surprise, "Is it to meet her lover?" This is really *!
Asher laughed out loud.
"Why are you laughing?" Oliver grabbed his face fiercely. It was clearly you who was inducing me to think this way.
"That's right." Asher said, "Just now I asked her what she was doing down the mountain, and judging from her expression, it was clear that she was a young girl who was just starting to fall in love."
"That's right." Oliver said, "It's normal for a girl who is only seventeen or eighteen years old to have a sweetheart."
"And there are still marks here. Asher tapped his neck, "Although it was covered with powder, the marks can still be seen. Ling'er should know best where these things came from, so I concluded that she went down the mountain for a private meeting. "
boring! Shen Xiaoshou's face turned red, and he got angry after thinking about it, "Why are you staring at this girl's neck!" This is simply a hooligan.
Asher was stunned for a moment, then he smiled and felt better, grabbed the person and took a bite, "Little idiot."
"Let's talk business!" Oliver opened him angrily.
"According to the rules of Baidi Village, it is impossible for the Bai family to get married to people at the foot of the mountain." Asher said, "She must know this in her heart, but she still ran down the mountain to meet her lover. It can be seen that she is a girl with a fierce temper. He doesn't pay much attention to the rules of the village, and Daohun knew that his sister was acting so recklessly, but he didn't stop her, which shows that the brother and sister have a good relationship. "
"Then what?" Oliver lay on his chest.
"In fact, practicing martial arts is also a kind of cultivation." Asher said, "Anyone who can be called a master in the martial arts world either has no distractions in his mind, so he can concentrate on studying martial arts; or he has too many distractions in his mind, so he takes risks and chooses crooked ways. If I am not mistaken, the sword soul and sword spirit should be the first type. This kind of people are actually very easy to reason with, because they can distinguish right from wrong."
"Yeah." Oliver nodded, and after a while he became suspicious again, "Are you really praising yourself in a roundabout way?"
Asher laughed, "Do I need to beat around the bush to praise you?"
Oliver:...
Young man, what you said is very narcissistic.
"That's why I want to meet Daohun tomorrow night." Asher said, "If we want to change this village, these two brothers and sisters can play a big role."
"Okay." Oliver asked, "Can I go tomorrow night?"
"What do you think?" Asher rested his arms on his head so he could take some time to look at him.
Shen Xiaoshou looked sad and angry.
Asher raised his eyebrows slightly, looking like he really deserved a beating.
It’s hopeless! Shen Xiaoshou resigned himself to his fate and lay down on the bed, rolling up his little coat.
Very self-destructive.
Asher was amused and turned over to pin the man down.
Really... I can never like it enough.
The next morning, Xiao Bozi got up very early, stretched out hard, and kicked Mu Hanye in the chest with his little foot.
Mu Hanye felt wronged, "I didn't sleep well last night."
"Why?" Wong Tai Sin held the small bottle and squeezed it.
Mu Hanye complained, "He kept kicking me!"
"Really?" Wong Tai Sin didn't care and continued to tease the little baby.
Mu Hanye nodded desperately.
"Then you can catch up on some sleep." Huang Daxian got out of bed holding the small bottle, "We'll go outside so we don't disturb you."
"Ah Huang..." Mu Hanye sat on the bed wrapped in a quilt, looking very sad.
Wong Tai Sin pretended not to hear.
Mu Hanye reminded, "Good morning, dear."
"Don't mess around, there are children here." Huang Daxian wiped Xiaopingzi's face and turned his head to say, "You should get up quickly too, because we have something to do."
"I've changed my mind." Mu Hanye complained, "I won't take him back to Qi Jue Country, to prevent Ah Huang from getting tired of the old and falling in love with the new!"
"What nonsense are you talking about? Even if you are willing, his parents---" Wong Tai Sin was halfway through his words when he remembered that Xiao Pingzi's mother had just passed away yesterday, so he sighed in his heart and rocked him in his arms.
The little bottle giggled and nuzzled into his arms.
Halfway through breakfast, the secret guard of Riyue Villa who was responsible for keeping tabs on the ravine last night came back, all wet.
"Did you also encounter that savage throwing wasps?" Oliver was stunned.
"There are no wasps, but the savages did encounter them." The dark guard said, "And there was also a big discovery."
"What did you find?" The others became interested and asked in unison.
"That's not a wild man at all." The secret guard said, "Last night, my subordinates were looking for him along the ravine and happened to see him cutting branches, so they followed him secretly and finally came to a small house under a cliff. Then he took off his camouflage fur and went to the river to take a bath. He was clearly a human being."
Oliver glanced at Asher and said, "It's exactly what you said." Maybe they are really homeless villagers.
"How could there be so many savages for us to encounter by chance." Asher looked at Shen Qianfeng, "Since we are sure he is a human, there is no need to keep an eye on him secretly. Otherwise, why don't we go meet him at night?"
"Brother, just go." Oliver interrupted, "If you don't want to go, King Qi Jue won't go either."
"Why?" Asher pinched his face.
Mu Hanye had no objection, "Of course I won't go, I want to stay and take care of Ah Huang."
Wong Tai Sin holds his forehead.
Does this person even know what "putting the overall situation first" means?
Shen Xiaoshou said, "Because the eldest brother looks more like a good person." The same cannot be said for the rest of the people. He might scare others away, especially his man, who is simply terrifying when he is fierce.
Mu Hanye said from the bottom of his heart, "Actually, I am also a good person."
Oliver nodded, "I know."
But others may not know.
So you'd better be patient!
"Then it's settled." Asher said, "Tonight I will go find Daohunjianpo, Qianfeng will go find the people in the back mountain, and then come back to discuss the next plan."
"Master Shen..." A shout suddenly came from outside the door. As soon as the secret guard opened the door, a man crawled in and his face turned pale. "Something happened again, something happened again." ! "
"Don't worry." Ye Jin said, "What happened?"
"Bai Ah Liu, Bai Ah Liu." The visitor was panting and couldn't catch his breath for a long time.
"He was also poisoned?" Ye Jin was shocked.
"It's not poisoned." The visitor managed to hold back a sentence, "He's missing!"
