Chapter Twenty-Six: Channing Standing at the Door

"Lord Yu, what about the money?"

Yu Nian paused, "Lord Qincha, the problem of this money is not small, they rely on the imperial court to worship, and they have been very rampant recently. You know that they are the richest man in Huizhou, that is, the richest man in the country, and they make a lot of money, how can this quality ......?"

"Master Yu, do you have any specific credentials?"

"Lord Chincha, isn't this rat a certificate? If it weren't for Lord Zhou Kai's partiality, he would have arrested that money a long time ago! ”

"Lord Yu, what kind of private dealings does the Zhou prefect have with Qian Ji?"

"Xia Guan heard that the eldest lady of the Qian family has a very close relationship with the sister of Zhou Governor's Mansion, so they ...... Oh, of course, this can't explain anything, but Xia Guan guessed that this time the Zhou Governor's Mansion can be so blatantly biased in favor of the Qian family, there must be an ulterior motive, Lord Qincha must investigate it in detail, and must not miss it! ”

"Well, okay, this official must find out! Hmph, this Zhou Kai, relying on himself to be the champion, doesn't take others in his eyes at all, what is this prefect! There are so many prefects in this dynasty, hum, what kind of shelf to put up with this official! ”

"Don't be angry, don't be angry, come, come, drink, drink."

The father and son of the Qian family already knew through their buddies that Zhou Zhifu ignored Qincha, but he was warm and thoughtful for more than a few years, and the two of them were still "biting their ears" in Tongfuyuan, and Qian Wanquan was walking back and forth in the flower hall.

"Dad, what is the prefect's plan this week? No matter how much he has the backbone of a literati, now that this Qin sent to check on him, why is he not in a hurry at all? ”

"The owner, if you say that the Zhou Governor's Mansion is now tied to our Qian Ji, but he will neither come to cooperate with us, nor will he have a good relationship with Qincha......"

Qian Wanquan finally stopped, raised his hand and made a stop movement, "The official family and our merchants have always been separated, it is impossible for the Zhou Governor to cooperate with us in anything, and it is not on our rope!" Qian Wanquan paused, "Qian Ning, last time I told you to investigate our own guys, is the investigation clear?" ”

"Dad, there is nothing abnormal yet, these guys are not the first year to work with our money book. Qian Zhuang also checked, and no guy had a sudden income, only one guy had a sudden change in his family, and he still helped with the kitchen at the counter. He didn't have any sudden extra possessions, and he didn't come into contact with any living people. And the night before the Governor of Zhou led people to search, no one found anything abnormal, and no one approached the shelves for no reason, and the place where the mouse droppings appeared had indeed been cleaned before, and no abnormalities were found before. ”

"That's weird, there are no suspicious people on our cabinet, where did this rat come from!"

"Dad, at that time, the official said that he saw a mouse, could it be?"

"Do you think there's something wrong with the servants?"

"I've already sent someone to check, those two officials don't have extra money, and the others are still investigating."

"The owner, if it's a matter of the officials, it's not easy to handle! If a promotion is promised, then we have no evidence. ”

"Dad, I think I should still ask Governor Zhou what his plans are?"

Qian Wanquan finally sat on the chair and rubbed his legs with his hands, "Qian Ning, we really don't know what the prefect thinks, I'll think about it first." Although we are worshiped by the imperial court, we still have to be cautious when moving around with the officials, after all, the prefect and the same knowledge disagree now, and there are some factors that we can't predict, you go first, I'll think about it again. ”

Qian Ning knew that Qian Wanquan was thinking about Zhang Hai, and through the investigation of Zhang Hai, he did not find that Zhang Hai communicated with the outside world, and Zhang Hai must have deliberately bypassed the Qian family's investigation network.

Everyone left the flower hall with a frown, and Qian Ning walked to the inner courtyard.

Here Wan Ting found out that Li Bo was relieved and wanted to go to Chen Mingyang for revenge, but after inquiring twice, he didn't come back, so he had to come to Qian's house to play with Qian Duo.

Qian Duo couldn't let go after seeing Zhou Qi, and became even more enthusiastic when she saw Huanting coming.

"Duoduo, do you have any news of Chen Mingyang?"

"Didn't Brother Mingyang go into business? What's wrong? ”

"He's a bastard, I'm going to die if I haven't come back for so long."

Qian Duo listened to Wan Ting say how Chen Mingyang was angry with her while embroidering her purse, and finally found an opportunity to ask, "Sister Wan Ting, isn't your brother here?" How can it be boring? ”

"Brother? He's the most boring! My brother knows every day that he hides in the study and reads, and no one pays attention to him, but now fortunately Li Bo is here, or he will suffocate to death! ”

"Who?"

Wan Ting suddenly realized that she had lost her words, "Ah, no one, a friend came and left." Duoduo, what are you embroidering? ”

"A purse, embroidered and given to you."

"I'll see, send mine? It's pretty good. Wan Ting took it and saw that it was a bouquet of plum blossoms, "You embroidered so well." ”

"Sister Huanting, these four are all four gentlemen: Meilan Zhuju, I will give them to you when I finish embroidering."

"There are four? I just want one, and I can't bring it. ”

"Well, Sister Huanting, you can take it back, it's okay to give it to others, this orchid is actually suitable for men to bring, but these four are together, it's all stable, if I only give you three, it's unlucky after all."

"Alright then, thank you, Sister Duoduo. But I don't like these orchids and chrysanthemums, if you don't mind if I bring them to my brother, anyway, he has a bunch of little guys now, and no one makes them for him. ”

Qian Duo took so much effort to do this, she just had a slim hope, and now she achieved it so easily, "As long as Lord Zhou doesn't dislike it." ”

"How can you dislike it? You're doing so well, I'm a little reluctant to give it to him! ”

Qian Duo was nervous, and hurriedly said, "If my sister likes me, I can do it for my sister." ”

Wan Ting glanced at Qian Duo and didn't feel anything, "Thank you Duoduo, I'll go first!" ”

"I'll send you out."

"No, I can find it myself."

Wan Ting came out of Qian Duo's place, walked all the way on the long street, and saw that the Qian family's subordinates were neat and respectful, and saw a familiar figure at a glance, "Wu Yi? Hey, Wu Yi, Wu Yi! ”

Wu Yi had already seen Wan Ting, and was about to turn around and walk away casually, but who knew that Wan Ting was calling her name behind, Wu Yi simply wished that she would get into the crack in the ground, and quickly slip away.

Wu Yi has been running ahead, but fortunately, the place is familiar, and he turned around and entered the small pharmacy. Wan Ting was chasing behind, but in fact, she couldn't see where Wu Yi was going for a long time, and she was walking around the yard. Wu Yi saw Wan Ting walking around through the crack in the door, her heart was in her throat, and suddenly someone patted her shoulder, "Ah! ”

Wan Ting heard it outside the courtyard and hurriedly ran in, "Wu Yi, I saw you!" You hurry out! ”

Suddenly, the door of the small pharmacy opened, and Qian Ning walked out with a piece of paper, "Miss Zhou? ”

"Channing? Why are you here? ”

"Miss Zhou, here our Qian family, is there anything strange about me here?"

Wan Ting suddenly realized, "Oh", Wan Ting almost turned around and left, "Hey, have you seen Wu Yi?" Wu Yi felt that she was finished in the house.

"Miss Zhou knows Wu Yi?"

"Yes, she was my maid, and she ran away without telling me! I just saw her! Do you see her? ”

"She's your maid?" Qian Ning was shocked, and even wanted to call Wu Yi out and ask him face to face. "Miss Zhou? What about you, did you ever beat Wu Yi? ”

Wan Ting was also shocked when she heard it, "You, how do you know?" ”

"Seems to be true?"

"What's the deal!"

Qian Ning saw that Wan Ting looked righteous and felt that she was hopeless, "Miss Zhou, there is no one you are looking for here, please go back!" Qian Ning said and turned to enter the house.

"Stop!"

"What advice does Miss Zhou have?"

"Wu Yi obviously ran in just now, you hurry up and hand her over to me!"

"I said, there's no one you're looking for here!"

"Hmph, you get out of the way, I'll go in and find it myself."

Qian Ning blocked the door and said firmly, "Miss Zhou, although you are the prefect's sister, but without a search warrant from the imperial court, I think Miss Zhou can't search people in our Qian Mansion!" ”

Wan Ting didn't expect Qian Ning to be so determined, and she also stood up the steps, "Hmph, Qian Ning, you can think about it, I don't plan to do anything to Wu Yi, you have to get along with me today, I don't guarantee that our surname Zhou can have such a good temper!" ”

"Miss Zhou, please!"

Wan Ting thought in her heart, she didn't want to do anything after Wu Yi just now, if her brother knew about today's matter, he might not be on his side, Qian Ning was so tough, he wouldn't get any good fruit to eat, glared at Qian Ning and turned to leave.

Qian Ning saw that Wan Ting had gone away, so he went into the house to find Wu Yi. Wu Yi stood by the door, looking at Qian Ning, and Wu Yi lowered his head in a weak heart. "Young owner, I ......"

"You used to work as a domestic servant for Governor Zhou's family?"

"Yes, I ......"

"Miss Zhou, is it Zhou Huanting who beat you?"

"Yes, Shaodong, I'm sorry, I didn't tell you the truth."

It was the first time for Qian Ning to see Wu Yi speak so quietly, the shock just now was gone, he paused for a long time, and finally let out a sigh, "Wu Yi, this is a small pharmacy, and ordinary people are not allowed to come in." ”

"Huh?" Wu Yi thought that Qian Ning would be angry, but he didn't expect to wait for such a sentence, and quickly bowed and admitted his mistake, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry for the young owner, I'll go out now!" ”

Wu Yi had just walked to the door and heard Qian Ning call to himself, "Huh? ”。

"Did you know how to write your name last time?"

"Yes, yes, like this." Wu Yi gestured in the air.

"Yes, okay." Qian Ning smiled, "Tomorrow you come to my study, and I will teach you something else." ”

Wu Yi froze in a daze, and in a trance, he heard his "en", and mechanically opened his legs and left. That night, Wu Yi didn't sleep all night, she didn't know why Qian Ning wasn't angry with herself, this was the first time that someone didn't blame her, didn't scold her, and planned to teach her something new the next day, Wu Yi didn't know why, and she couldn't say how she felt in her heart, but she just couldn't sleep.
