Chapter 82: The Golden Cicada Sheds Its Shell

"How do I know?"

Pu Louyuan was naturally unclear, and his answer was no longer expected by Ye Heng.

However, Ye Heng was not in a hurry, but said: "Father-in-law, don't worry, think about it carefully, the general Qian family's cargo ships take that road, it's okay!" ”

Pu Louyuan asked, "Do you doubt it...... The Qian family's private salt was blatantly transported out from the Qian family's cargo ship? ”

"Of course...... Not anymore! ”

Ye Heng shook his head, and then explained: "The Qian family will definitely not do this, although the Qian family is bold, but the method of using a cargo ship to hide private salt is too stupid, it is easy to be discovered, once it is discovered, then the entire Qian family will be wiped out, even if it is inadvertently discovered, the consequences are very serious!" So...... The Qian family must have other ways, but private salt ...... It must have been sold through this secret passage! ”

Hearing Ye Heng's words, Pu Louyuan nodded in a sudden realization, and then looked at Ye Heng with an incredible look and said, "Hold on, you...... You ......"

Pointing at Ye Heng, Pu Louyuan found that he didn't know what to say, so he simply withdrew his hand, then wiped his beard and smiled, and then said, "That's it, you are so smart, what am I worried about?" Let me tell you, the Qian family is lucky, there is indeed a secret way......"

Regarding this secret passage of the Qian family, it is naturally impossible to dig out the tunnel, and the control of shipping ships in the southeast is very strict, especially for merchant ships, so the secret passage here refers to the process of transporting in the dark without taking the shipping channel.

"Yanguan, Haining ......"

Sure enough, there is a connection to these two places!

After getting the news of the Qian family's secret path from Pu Louyuan, Ye Heng had a bold idea!

According to what Lu Hongsleeve said, Haining's master book is the leader of the water bandits in the middle of Hangzhou and Suzhou, and on the surface, this person is the head book of Haining County, and Lu Hongsleeve's brother is likely to be murdered when he was the county magistrate in Haining, and the murderer behind the scenes is ten thousand gold!

A master bookkeeper who dares to murder his own superiors?

It's a bit appalling, and it's not logical, then...... Behind this ten thousand gold, is there someone supporting him?

Could it be the Qian family?

I don't know why, the more Ye Heng thought about it, the more he felt that this possibility was very high, so Ye Heng said to Pu Louyuan: "Father-in-law, can you ...... Let Jing'er and the eldest brother and sister cooperate with the son-in-law to act in a scene? ”

"What play?"

Pu Louyuan frowned, in the matter of the Qian family, he didn't want the Pu family to fall into it, so he was a little embarrassed.

Fortunately, Ye Heng said: "It's just a good show of the golden cicada coming out of its shell, and from tomorrow my father-in-law can release the news that I and Jing'er have set up a marriage, but at the same time, I have to announce one thing, that is, Jing'er's illness...... Relapse! ”

"Relapse?"

Pu Louyuan asked, "Why do you want to do this?" ”

Ye Heng explained: "Because my son-in-law plans to leave Lin'an for a trip to Suzhou, and this trip will take a long time, so I have to find this excuse not to be on the road in Lin'an!" And now, what better excuse than to accompany Jing'er who has a relapse of illness? ”

Pu Louyuan understood, he pondered for a moment, and then said, "Okay! I promise you, but Xin'er's side, I'm afraid you will have to explain to her in person, but ...... Don't let her get involved in what you're going to do, go ahead! ”

In the end, the family is talking behind closed doors, and Pu Louyuan actually agreed to Ye Heng's request!

This also shows that in Pu Louyuan's view, although it is best for the Pu family to stay out of the matter, this is Ye Heng's business, and those who should be helped still have to be helped, and this is also to see Ye Heng as a son-in-law!

After thanking Pu Louyuan, Ye Heng went out of the study, and under the guidance of the Pu family, he went to Pu Jiajing's room.

Pu Jiajing was reading a book, and when she saw Ye Heng coming, she put down the book, and then asked, "What did you talk about with your father?" ”

"Of course it's about our marriage!"

Seeing Pu Jiajing's shy appearance, coupled with the affairs of the Qian family and the case of Lu Hongsleeve's brother, Ye Heng was also in a good mood, so he joked to Pu Jiajing: "Our matter will be announced tomorrow, so ...... My father-in-law said that he would hand you over to me in the future! ”

After that, Ye Heng made a gesture to take off his clothes, Pu Jiajing blushed, and then nervously held the hem of his skirt and looked at Ye Heng uneasily, but she didn't speak.

Ye Heng took off his clothes halfway, then shook his head and put them on, and said with a smile: "Look at you scared, I'll tease you!" ”

Pu Jiajing turned her head shyly and said in a low voice: "When did Gongzi become like this...... Bad? ”

"Bad?"

At this time, outside Pu Jiajing's room, Pu Jiaxin, who was hiding from eavesdropping, frowned, and Pu Jiaming next to him hurriedly made a silent gesture, and then glared at her.

Pu Jiaxin gave him a roll of his eyes in return, and then the two brothers and sisters continued to eavesdrop.

Ye Heng said: "I just said it to amuse you...... But there's one thing next, you have to listen carefully, you come with your ears ......"

Pu Jiajing obediently leaned her ear over, and after hearing Ye Heng's whisper, she asked strangely, "Pretending to be sick?"

Ye Heng explained: "Yes, and it may take a long time to pretend, because there are some things, I have to leave Lin'an for a trip." And during this time, it also saves the trouble of the Qian family coming to me! During the time you pretended to be sick, I will not show up in Lin'an under the pretext of accompanying you, and you can only stay in this courtyard, don't go out, and don't let people in......"

"That'...... I'm just afraid that I have to talk to my sister about this matter......"

Regarding Ye Heng's decision, Pu Jiajing did not get to the bottom of it, but helped Ye Heng and said, "Do you want to call my sister over now?" ”

"No need!"

Ye Heng smiled, then walked to the door and opened the door suddenly.

"Hehe......"

Pu Jiaming, who was caught off guard, smiled awkwardly, and Pu Jiaxin next to him obviously didn't expect that Ye Heng would suddenly open the door and catch the two of them eavesdropping.

"Brother, sister!"

Pu Jiajing stomped his feet and asked, "...... you guys What are you doing here? ”

"Eavesdropping!"

Ye Heng pointed at Pu Jiaxin and said, "Needless to say, this must be her idea!" ”
