Chapter 186: Chen Qing Comes to Chu
Qu Wu has been thinking about the outcome of the conversation between Uncle Ling Yin and Sang Zhi on the topic of Zigui, but since he promised Mi Hong to accompany Uncle Xia Yu, he can only chat with him.
Although there is a big difference between him and Uncle Xia Yu, this difference makes the two have a lot of topics to talk about, if both parties are stubborn people, maybe this difference will cause disputes and can't talk, but it is precisely because both of them are very easy-going and tolerant.
Qu Wu felt that this Chen Guosima was still an honest and reliable person, speaking straightforwardly, without the tactfulness and hypocrisy of those political oils.
After chatting for a while, Uncle Xia Yu got up to say goodbye because he remembered that Gongzi Pingguo had returned to the inn, and asked the shopkeeper to settle the bill after going downstairs, and the shopkeeper told him that the boss had settled the bill.
Qu Wu also walked out of the private room and asked the guards at the door of the eldest grandson's private room about the situation of the eldest grandson, and the guards told Qu Wu that Sangzhi had left, and only the eldest grandson was alone in the private room, so Qu Wu knocked on the door and entered the private room.
"Qu Wu, you came just in time, I just wanted to talk to you." The eldest grandson saw Qu Wu come in and said.
"There's Lord Lao Lingyin."
"Lord Sangzhi already knows that the Zi family is looking for Zigui, and he can basically confirm that his adopted son Sang Ji is Zigui." Uncle Grandma said.
"On what basis did Lord Sang conclude that his adopted son was Zigui?"
"One is that Sang Zhi still remembers the situation at the time of adoption, which is the same as what you said; The second is that Sang Zhi still has a silk cloth with the eight characters of Zigui's birthday, which is written on it and was born on the Shangyuan Festival in the 41st year of King Chu Cheng. Uncle Sun said.
"Well, there is Lord Lao Lingyin, this should be good news." Qu Wu wanted to step on the iron shoes and find nowhere to go, and Zi returned to live safely, which was the greatest comfort to Zi Yan.
"However, this matter is really a bit difficult to do, and it may be difficult for him to give up his adopted son." Uncle Grandma said.
"This is also something I want to get, if Sang Zhi returns the son to the Zi family happily, it will be a little strange." Qu Wu said.
"Sang Zhi frankly sympathized with the Zi family's plight, but he had regarded Sang Ji as his own and said that he would never return him to the Zi family." Uncle Grandma said.
"Lord Ling Yin, did Lord Nasang say that she could let Ziyan meet her brother?"
"I've also asked about this, Master Sang doesn't want his adopted son to have anything to do with his family."
"Lord Lingyin, compare your heart to your heart, Lord Sang has his reasons for doing this, but you also know what Zigui means to the Zi family, and it can be said that the revival of the entire Zi family is pinned on Zi Gui." Qu Wu said.
"Sang Zhi is not an unreasonable person, but he has not done anything wrong in this matter, there is really no way to get the best of both worlds." Uncle Sun sighed.
The message that Uncle Grandma gave to Qu Wu made him feel both unexpected and reasonable.
Unexpectedly, he was able to find his son so smoothly; It is reasonable because since Sang Zhi raised this child as a parent, he will definitely not let him have any contact with the son's family, so as not to cause extraneous branches.
Qu Wu found Ziyan after withdrawing from the eldest grandson and told her about it as it was.
Ziyan was silent for a while after hearing this, and tears flowed out. For her, these tears are not only sad for the family affection that can be reached, but also self-blame.
Qu Wu hugged Zi Yan and comforted him softly: "Zi Yan, Zi Gui's matter is very difficult now, but it is not yet the time of despair, and it may not be impossible to succeed through hard work."
"Brother, what do you say about this now?" After crying for a while, Zi Yan still has to face the reality, Zigui is the key to restoring the ancestral business of the Zi family.
"To untie the bell, you still need to tie the bell, and this matter may have to be solved by untying the knot in Sangzhi's heart." Qu Wu said.
"Heart knots? Lord Sang's biggest knot is the heir, and now his greatest hope is the return of the son. ”
"Perhaps, there is another solution, and I have to think about how to get started." Qu Wu muttered.
After comforting Zi Yan, Qu Wu walked towards the dock after coming out of the courtyard of the Zi family's house, and as soon as he reached the side of the dock Qingyun, he was stopped by a thin beggar in ragged clothes and with a black face.
"Boss, I've finally met you." When the beggar said this, he was crying, and after standing up, he was paralyzed and almost fell, Qu Wu hurriedly stepped forward to support him: "You are ......."
Qu Wu was taken aback, because the beggars of the Qingyun Gang all called him the gang leader, no one called him the boss, only the brothers and sisters in Gusu and the brothers and sisters in Chen Shi called him the boss.
"Boss, I'm Chen Qing." The man said.
This made Qu Wu taken aback again, and when he looked at the other party's face carefully, he really had the appearance of Chen Qing, he didn't expect Chen Qing to appear in front of him like this: "Ah, Chen Qing, why do you look like this?" Come aboard with me. ”
"Boss, I can't walk." Chen Qing said prostrationly.
Qu Wu leaned down, picked up Chen Qing with the princess hug, walked onto the Qingyun, carried her into the room where Ziyan lived under the gaze of Li Qianmo, Li Shan and others, put her on the stool and called Li Shan in, asked her to arrange for Chen Qing to take a bath and change clothes, and told her to throw away all the rotten clothes on Chen Qing's body.
Taking advantage of the time when Li Shan accompanied Chen Qing to clean up his personal hygiene, Qu Wu discussed with Gongsun Feng and Li Qianmo how to solve the incident that happened in Sang Zhi's house.
Qu Wu first introduced the whole matter to Gongsun Feng and Li Qianmo, and then asked for their opinions and suggestions.
"Helper, Sang Zhi's heir is the key, if you don't help him solve this problem, everything is impossible." Li Qianmo said.
"Helper, I have thought of a piece with Qianmo. If it can be found out that Sang Zhi is wrongly blaming his two concubines, he may let his children return to him, so that he can let go of his adopted son. Now the problem was eight years ago, and it is difficult to investigate. Gongsun Feng also said.
"Well, the key is to find the parties, the three concubines of Xue Tao and Sang Zhi. In this way, one of us is responsible for investigating one thing, Qianmo is mainly responsible for finding Xue Tao, Gongsun Feng is responsible for investigating the reason for the closure of Xue Tao's diagnosis and treatment shop, and I am responsible for finding the three concubines who have retired from Sang Zhi. Qu Wu said.
"Okay, helper." Gongsun Feng and Li Qianmo should both inherit it.
"I'll give you ten taels of gold first, and I'll bear this expense personally, don't need the Qingyun Gang to do anything, and come back to me when you need to increase it. Also, how do you go about investigating, first state your opinion, and then we all complement each other. Qu Wu said again.
"If you want to find Xue Tao, you still have to start with his acquaintances, I plan to start the investigation next to Xue Tao's shop, if you can't find the old acquaintances from eight years ago, you can also treat the patients he treated, in short, don't let go of anyone who may know him." Li Qianmo said.
"Well, Elder Li, you can also look for his former buddies in other medical shops, because the person he fired off is likely to be in an industry that he is familiar with." Qu Wu said.
"Since Elder Li investigates the shop first, then we can investigate together, and we will talk to the local Tong Gang Master tomorrow morning about this matter, and let him assist, after all, he knows the local situation best." Gongsun Feng said.
"Gongsun Gang Leader is right. Helper, how do you plan to investigate the whereabouts of Sang Zhi's three concubines? Li Qianmo said.
According to the eldest grandson, the three concubines were driven back to their parents' homes. Regardless of whether they have returned to their parents' homes or not, their mother's family should know their whereabouts, I want to start the investigation from the people around Sangzhi, his wife is the most clear, but it may be inconvenient for me to come forward to find her wife, I also want to look for a woman who can contact her, preferably the person she trusts the most. Qu Wu said.
After discussing, Chen Qing had finished washing, and she walked over in Li Shan's company in Li Shan's clothes.
Although Chen Qing was still a little haggard, he still couldn't hide the beautiful face that was naturally carved out of hibiscus and naturally decorated, which formed a strong contrast with the little beggar with a dirty body and a dark face more than half an hour ago, which surprised everyone, including Qu Wu.
Qu Wu gave a brief introduction to the group, and then went to the big boathouse for dinner.
After dinner, Qu Wu and Chen Qing came to Ziyan's room and asked her to live here, but Chen Qing said that she didn't want to live here, Qu Wu had no choice but to call Li Shan and discuss with her to let Chen Qing live with her, and Li Shan readily agreed.
Qu Wu knew that Chen Qing was very tired, so he asked her to rest first, and if she had anything to say, she would talk about it tomorrow.
