Chapter 236 A strange combination of circumstances
Seeing that Niu Wu was so familiar with the road, one could tell at a glance that this was not his first time here, and that he had a close relationship with Chen Yinwu.
Then the three of them remembered that Niu Wu seemed to be doing businessman, but it seemed that none of them had time to pay attention to what kind of business he was doing.
Before they could think about it, they suddenly heard voices cursing at each other from inside. Among them, Niu Wu's voice was the loudest, full of hostility. Their words were intermittent and could be heard from inside to outside from time to time.
"... you went back on your word..."
"You... stupid..."
That was all I could hear, but it contained a lot of information. What did the two of them agree on at the beginning? What did Niu Wu mean by Chen Yinwu going back on his word?
Just as the three were about to hold their breath and listen carefully, there was suddenly no sound from inside. No one knew what Chen Yinwu said to Niu Wu that made him calm down a little.
When the two men finished talking and came out from the back hall, Gu Jiyan and the other man stood by the door, looking at the rows of burning incense on the cabinet, and no one knew what they were looking at. As for Xue Ben, who was standing next to the two men, he was talking to the shopkeeper, and he was far away, so he couldn't hear what the two men were talking about.
Chen Yinwu hurried over, fearing that the shopkeeper would be tricked by Xue Ben.
However, when he got completely closer, Gu Junqing and the other person, who heard the sound, turned around and looked at the so-called head of the Chen family, Chen Yinwu.
When Chen Yinwu saw the faces of the two people, his originally good-looking face suddenly froze, as if he recognized the identities of the two people in front of him. When he saw Gu Junqing frowning, Chen Yinwu finally came back to his senses from the shock, and then immediately knelt down to salute.
Although Gu Junqing had no habit of making things difficult for others, as for the person kneeling in front of her, she simply glanced at the person on the ground, nodded slightly, and then silently looked away.
As for Gu Jiyan, his temperament was much worse than Gu Junqing's. He looked straight at Chen Yinwu who was kneeling on the ground and said loudly: "Chen Yinwu, it is said that there is something wrong with your family's incense, which almost killed a person. I don't know whether it is true or not. This prince likes to join in the fun or investigate the case the most, so I came to see you. I am in a good mood today. If it really has nothing to do with your Chen family's incense, this prince will naturally give you some silver to express his apology. If it is really related to your Chen family, then..."
Gu Jiyan didn't say the rest, leaving it for Chen Yinwu to imagine.
What he imagined was always more powerful than what he said in person. As expected, at this moment, Chen Yinwu had a cold sweat on his forehead that he didn't even notice. He was obviously frightened by Gu Jiyan's words.
Gu Jiyan wanted to continue threatening, but Xue Ben noticed it. He calmly walked forward a few steps, shook his head at Gu Jiyan, and then walked in front of Chen Yinwu, looking down at Chen Yinwu who was kneeling on the ground. His previous gentleness was gone, replaced by a coldness they had never heard before. He only heard him say in a cold voice:
"Chen Yinwu, you and Niu Wu were originally in a cooperative relationship, but you were the one who ordered someone to secretly poison the incense sent to Niu's house in order to murder Mr. Niu's wife. You also used this to frame my Xue family's incense and kill two birds with one stone. Tell me, what is your purpose in doing this?"
Chen Yinwu did not expect that the young man in front of him, who was much younger than him and looked like a teenager, would speak so directly, without giving him time to recover.
At the same time, he couldn't help but wonder what they knew now. Chen Yinwu wanted to test it, but he could ignore Xue Ben in front of him, and he had to worry about Gu Junqing behind him. He must not offend him, otherwise he would lose his head.
If the master behind him knew that he had offended Gu Jiyan and Gu Junqing, wouldn't he have no way to survive?
However, if he said it now, wouldn't that reveal the master behind him?
No matter which one he chose, he would die. Chen Yinwu was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat and could not utter a word.
"Do you have to ask us to personally invite the master behind you to come up before you tell us?"
These words were said by Gu Junqing.
Then Gu Jiyan followed up and said, "There are only a few Chen families. As long as we spend some time to look for them, we will always find them. After all, which of the remaining Chen families dares to go past my Anyuan Marquis Mansion?"
That makes sense. The remaining Chen family members are nothing more than the former staff of Prince An. Now that Prince An has fallen, these Chen families are almost in decline, and they really cannot surpass the current Anyuan Hou Mansion. After all, Anyuan Hou Mansion only has occasional contact with Prince An, and there is nothing else, so the status of Anyuan Hou Mansion in the court has not diminished. Gu Junqing nodded in agreement.
Gu Jiyan's words really frightened Chen Yinwu. Thinking deeply about this gentleman's thoughts, he realized that this gentleman had no intention of fooling him at all. It was obvious that what he said was all true, which made Chen Yinwu look a little desperate and fearless.
Anyway, this matter can only be summarized in two words: a coincidence and going with the flow.
Chen Yinwu smiled bitterly, thinking that he was just an ordinary citizen, what else could he resist? In fact, it all came down to jealousy between women.
My master's wife is jealous and can't stand beautiful women. Of course, my master is also a lustful person.
One day, he happened to meet Mrs. Niu and thought she was beautiful, so he couldn't help asking a few more questions about who she was. He wanted to take her back as a concubine. After knowing that she was Niu Wu's ordinary wife, he had no scruples and wanted to force her, so he sent Chen Yinwu to keep the couple in a restaurant, and then asked Chen Yinwu to put drugs in the wine to make them unconscious, and then took Mrs. Niu to another private room where he was.
Chen Yinwu did everything he was told, but in the end something went wrong with his master. His wife started to make a fuss, and in order to fool his wife, Chen Yinwu's master had to leave the box reluctantly, and the matter ended.
It's just that the wife of her master began to get close to Mrs. Niu inexplicably. No one knew what her intention was, or maybe the lady knew nothing.
Of course, even though Chen Yinwu's brain was not very good, he could still tell that his master's wife had bad intentions.
Mrs. Niu and the Niu Wu couple knew nothing about it. Niu Wu even told his wife that she should have a good relationship with this lady, which would be beneficial to their business cooperation and would also provide an additional backer for their Niu family.
