Chapter Seventy-One: Return to Beijing

Without Tang Wan doing things, Shangxiang has been going smoothly in the past few days, and time has passed in a blink of an eye, and the group set up the carriage early in the morning of the eighth day and prepared to return to Beijing.

Since Gu Chen had appeared openly, he followed Qin Niang back to Beijing in the carriage, and as for the horse he rode over, he let his entourage lead him by the carriage and followed him all the way.

It's just that they didn't expect that as soon as they arrived at the gate of the capital, they were stopped by someone.

"In front of you, it's Gu Ergongzi's carriage?" A familiar voice came from ahead.

Qin Niang lifted the curtain and looked out, and saw the familiar old face of Jingzhao Mansion Yin, and there were also a group of officials standing behind him.

"Why is Jingzhao Mansion Yin here?" Qin Niang muttered, and a bad premonition faintly rose in her heart.

Gu Chen had already raised the curtain of the car, and said to Lord Yin Li of Jingzhao Mansion, who was blocking their way: "I don't know what I have done, I want to bother Lord Li to guard here personally?" ”

Li Mu glanced at Gu Chen, arched his hand at him and said: "A few days ago, Miss Tang came to my yamen to report the case, saying that she lost a close-fitting jade cicada, and suspected that it was stolen by those servants who were sent back to the house. ”

"I heard that you are coming back today, so I specially waited here, and I hope that Gu Gongzi can sell his official face and inquire about this matter clearly." Although Li Mu said that he brought a lot of people here to block people, he was still very respectful and polite when he spoke, and he had no intention of forcibly escorting them back for interrogation.

Gu Chen frowned: "Miss Tang lost something, why did you say that someone from my Gu Mansion took it?" ”

This Tang Wan actually sued them to Jingzhao Mansion, which is really good.

Qin Niang could hear the conversation outside, and her brows couldn't help frowning, Tang Wan's jade cicada had reported to the official before they went to Baoling Temple and said that it was lost?

She underestimated her, but she didn't expect that while she took out the jade cicada to do something for Mama Tao, she went to report to the official, saying that someone had stolen her jade cicada.

She knew in her previous life that this Tang Wan had a good brain, but she didn't expect her to underestimate her, and she thought about the way out before doing something.

It's really good.

Now even if Fang Yuanyuan told Li Mu about what happened in the temple, he wouldn't believe that those things were all instructed by Tang Wan.

What a Tang Wan.

However, does she really think that she Yang Qinyan is so easily defiled?

"This official doesn't mean that, it's just that Miss Tang came to report, and the official has to handle it impartially, although the Gu family is rich, but some of those subordinates can't stand this temptation, the official just wants to interrogate the servants who were sent back from the Tang family, and I hope that Gu Gongzi will not be surprised."

Gu Chen sneered: "If you want to interrogate people, why don't you go to my Gu Mansion to wait, but you ran to the gate of this city to block me, don't you think that those unclean hands and feet are under my instruction?" ”

Jingzhao Mansion Yin only felt a chill on his back, and immediately straightened his waist, and said in a loud voice: "This official didn't mean that, it's just that Miss Tang said that the person who stole her jade cicada went to Baoling Temple with Mrs. Gu Shao, and in order to prevent the thieves from escaping, we waited here to stay here." ”

He didn't want to annoy Gu Chen, although this person was not an official, he also knew that in the entire capital, which one did not intersect with him? Moreover, his shops are all over the capital, unless they don't buy anything from him in the future, no one will dare to offend him.

Besides, this Gu Chen is not a person who does not care about hatred, if this is really remembered by him, there will be no good life in the future.

"Oh? I don't know which subordinate Li is talking about? Gu Chen squinted his eyes and asked.

"It is said that the surname is Tao." As soon as Jingzhao Mansion Yin's words came out, Gu Chen and Qin Niang both shouted in their hearts, sure enough.

At this moment, Qin Niang came out with half of her face, looked at Jing Zhaoyin in front of her, and smiled: "But, I have already released that Tao Mama, didn't you inform the Lord Shoucheng to pay attention to this person?" ”

Li Mu's face froze, and he said with a look of embarrassment: "I haven't paid attention to this. ”

Qin Niang looked at him with a smile and said: "But I did let her come back, her relatives are still in the capital, presumably she will not run far, if Lord Li doesn't believe it, you can search in my team, I believe that such a big person, we can't hide, and besides, Mrs. Li's carriage is behind, whether I have this person or not, I believe she is also very clear." ”

Qin Niang didn't want to be blocked at the gate of this city to watch the excitement, besides, such a big person, they were just two carriages for the female dependents, and the rest of the male servants were all on horseback.

"Master Li, we didn't know about Mama Tao and Miss Tang in advance, a few days ago in the temple, she was still doing things for Miss Tang, why did she become a thief in a blink of an eye? However, since she has reported to the official, I think that Mama Tao is also a slave of our Gu family, and we have the obligation to cooperate with Lord Li in the investigation, but we have been in the dust along the way, and Lord Li can come forward to check it, if there is no problem, after we return to the mansion to rest for a while, we will go to the house to find Lord Li. ”

Qin Niang thought to herself, if she remembered well, the jade cicada would have obviously been returned to Tang Wan to her, and now she is here to catch a thief.

At this time, the carriage of Fang Yuanyuan and others behind also followed, and when they saw Qin Niang and they were blocking the city gate, they immediately raised the curtain and looked out, and asked, "Qin Niang, why don't you leave?" ”

Qin Niang looked at her and said, "Master Li said that he wanted to arrest Mama Tao, saying that she stole Miss Tang's jade cicada." ”

When Fang Yuanyuan heard this, his eyes immediately widened, and his voice didn't mean to be deliberately lowered at all: "Why is this Tang Wan so shameless, isn't that jade cicada in her own hands?" ”

Qin Niang shrugged her shoulders with a helpless expression.

Fang Yuanyuan glanced at Li Mu, who was blocking the door with a group of officials in front of him, and immediately stopped: "Father-in-law, I can testify about this matter, after the jade cicada Tang Wan took to that Tao Mama and was exposed after the bad things were exposed, we saw it back to her with our own eyes, and now she is even embarrassed to report to the official, it is good that we didn't accuse her of being vicious." ”

Now, when Tang Wan is mentioned, Fang Yuanyuan has a feeling of hatred and hatred with Qin Niang, a businesswoman with no background actually dares to be a demon repeatedly, and she really thinks that this capital is her world.

"Forget it, after we go back to the house and clean up, let's go to Jingzhaoyin's mansion and say, it's not good that there are so many people here watching now." Qin Niang glanced at the people gathered to watch the excitement, and said, "Lord Li is also responsible, why don't you send someone over to check the carriage?" ”

Li Mu was a little embarrassed by her reasonable words, coupled with what his daughter-in-law said just now, it seems that something is wrong, and he doesn't want to make everyone too ugly, so he immediately arched his hand and said: "No need, since Yuan Yuan said that he can testify for you, there is no need for me to block here, but, when the two of you are free, you still have to go to my mansion to explain a specific situation." ”

As a parent official in the capital, she can't listen to it partially, since someone reports to the official, he naturally has to ask clearly according to the rules.

"Thank you Lord Li for your leniency, I'll go home first." Qin Niang said, nodded at Fang Yuanyuan next to her, and motioned to drive into the city.

Li Muyi waved his hand and motioned for his men to get out of the way and let them enter the city.

When he entered the city, Gu Chen looked at Qin Niang and asked, "Did you really let that slave go?" ”

Qin Niang glared at him: "If you don't let her go, will you still support her?" When did you become so kind-hearted? ”

Gu Chen was blocked by her, and then mocked: "But I don't think you are such a kind person." ”

It's all hurt to her like this, but she still has to let people go, which doesn't look like her style these days.

Qin Niang leaned against the wall of the carriage and said lazily: "I'm just letting her go now, do you want to inform Miss Tang and ask her to send someone to arrest her quickly?" Otherwise, there will be endless troubles. ”

Gu Chen keenly caught her last sentence "endless troubles", and then hooked her lips and smiled, she originally had such an idea, but it was not bad.

It's just that, according to the current point of view, Li Mu must have not caught anyone yet, and that Tao Mama has not done anything, it seems that they are the main field, and everything will have to wait for them to come back before this scene can be sung.

That being the case, then he is happy to watch the play, he wants to see how this woman will deal with Jing Zhaoyin's interrogation.

Qin Niang was thinking at the moment, after she was put back to Mama Tao, just in case, she also sent a guard with good martial arts to follow quietly, and she didn't hear the guard's message that there was any change in the person in the past few days.

Since she is in this capital, she is not afraid of what tricks she Tang Wan will come up with.

When the group returned home, Qin Niang wanted to take a bath so as to wash off the dust, but Gu Chen was very interested in not following back to Qinyuan, but hurriedly went to the study.

He has been away for so many days, and he must have saved a lot of things waiting for him to come back to deal with, Qin Niang doesn't care about him, as long as he doesn't help Tang Wan deal with her, she can treat him as a fart, and she can do whatever she wants.

"Miss, the guard heard that you have returned to the house, and is waiting outside the courtyard, thinking that there is something to report to you." Qiu Tao came in from outside, and saw that Qin Niang was almost washed, so she hurriedly helped her bring clean clothes.

"Then Tang Wan told Mama Tao to Jingzhao Mansion Yin, she was really calm, and there was no movement in the past few days."
