Chapter 273: Looking for Xi'er
"Miss Suxin, take a look, is Xi'er like this?" According to Bai Suxin's words, Meng Yan drew a sketch.
"Like, too similar, Master Meng, have you seen Xi'er?" Bai Suxin looked at Meng Yandao in surprise.
"No, I drew it based on what you described." Meng Yan said with a smile.
Bai Suxin's eyes widened: "Is that what I said just now?" ”
"Yes, that's what you just described." Meng Yan nodded, "Take a look, what needs to be modified." ”
"Here, Xi'er's cheeks are thinner than those drawn by adults, and her chin is slightly pointed." Bai Suxin carefully looked at Meng Yan's sketch and said.
Meng Yan took it, modified it with the pencil in his hand, and then handed it to Bai Suxin to look at, and after confirming, he took it back.
"Your Excellency's hands are truly amazing!" Bai Suxin exclaimed.
"Thank you!" Meng Yan nodded politely, "For this Xi'er, what other information do you know about her, such as where she is from, who she usually interacts with, and so on?" ”
"I only remember that she is from Jinghai County, Hejian Province, and I don't know anything else." Bai Suxin recalled for a moment and said.
"And who does she usually hang out with?"
"She is basically with me, and she rarely goes out alone, oh, I remember, she has parents and a younger brother in her hometown, and she goes to the River Hall every month to inquire about the news of her family."
"Hejian Guild Hall, so she knows the people in the guild hall?" Meng Yan nodded, this is a relatively important clue.
"I don't know. I don't like to go shopping, so I rarely go out, I went to the Hejian Hall once, and she knew a businessman named He Wendong, who was their old family. ”
"He Wendong." Meng Yan wrote the name on the edge of He Wendong's sketch.
"Have you seen He Wendong?"
"I've seen it once or twice, it's Xi'er talking to him, I don't like ...... very much," Bai Suxin said a little awkwardly.
"Do you have an impression of this He Wendong, what he looks like, what clothes he wears, how tall he is, etc."
"This He Wendong is about thirty years old. When walking. The left foot is a little lame, but not ......too strict."
"Wait, how do you know he's lame on his left foot?"
"Another time I saw that he was walking in a hurry, and his left foot was a little mopping the ground. That's why I knew he was a little lame. Bai Suxin said.
"You're pretty careful." Meng Yan Road.
"Yes. I don't usually like to talk. My favorite is a person in the kitchen, making pastries. Bai Suxin said.
Meng Yan said that he understood, Bai Suxin did not have such keen insight. I'm afraid I won't find out Jiao Hong's identity.
"What other traits does he have?" Meng Yan continued to ask.
"He Wendong is not tall, about half a head lower than Lord Meng, his body is a little fat, and he stutters a little when he speaks." Bai Su said in his heart.
Meng Yan nodded, stuttering and lameness, these two characteristics are very obvious, and it is much easier to find people.
"What is Xi'er's relationship with this He Wendong?"
"I don't know about this, but every time I go to see He Wendong and come back, Xi'er is very happy." Bai Su said in his heart.
"Then before the crime, did Xi'er have any abnormal changes?" Meng Yan asked.
"Unusual changes?"
"For example, after going to see He Wendong?"
Bai Suxin closed her eyes and recalled carefully for a while: "It was August, one day Xi'er went to the Hejian Hall, and after she came back, she couldn't give up, and she made mistakes in her work for several days, I asked, she didn't say, and then it was fine, so I didn't ask again." ”
"The information you provide is important, Miss Suxin." Meng Yan nodded, "It's not too early, you can rest, if you still think of something, let the brocade guards outside tell me." ”
"Okay, Master Meng." Bai Suxin nodded.
"Then the official will leave first." Meng Yan got up and said.
"Lord Meng?" Just as Meng Yan was about to leave, Bai Suxin suddenly stood up and shouted.
"Miss Suxin, are you still in trouble?"
"Master Meng, can you give me some paper and pen?" Bai Suxin asked wistfully.
"What do you want pen and paper for?"
"I want to write everything I know." Bai Su said in his heart.
"Okay, I'll have someone bring you paper and pen." Meng Yan thought for a moment and nodded.
"Thank you, Lord Meng."
"No, that's as it should be." Meng Yan nodded.
"Your Excellency!"
"Take a good look at Bai Suxin, try to meet her needs, and if she has anything to say, report it to me as soon as possible." Meng Yan commanded.
"No!"
"Remember, you must pay attention to Bai Suxin's safety." Meng Yan admonished, the inspector Yamen is now crowded, whether there are people from the East Factory here, he really doesn't know, but the East Factory will definitely do everything possible to put eyeliner in his inspector Yamen.
It's a situation where you have me, and I have you.
The people in Dongchang are still looking for Jiao Hong, and if they can't find Jiao Hong, these people won't give up, and now Jiao Hong is hiding in his own home, and the people in Dongchang won't find him for a while, but they can't underestimate Dongchang's ability.
The secret agents of the East Factory are all over the capital, and it is inevitable that they will leave some small flaws in some place for the other party to discover.
Back at home, before Meng Yan could catch his breath, Shen Cong reported: The judge is here.
"Uncle Sai is here, hurry, Shen Cong, make tea!"
"Long story short, I know you went to see Bai Suxin, did she tell you a girl named Xi'er?"
"Uncle Sai knows everything?" Meng Yan was a little surprised, how did Sai Xiaoyu know.
"I know not only Xi'er, but also He Wendong, a merchant from Hejian." Sai Xiaoyu Road.
"Uncle Sai is saying that Bai Suxin is a woman with deep thoughts?" Meng Yan Road.
"I didn't say that, but uncle, what I want to remind you is that you have to keep an objective and cool head." Sai Xiaoyu Road.
"I know, Uncle Sai. I'm calm now, please trust my judgment. "Meng Yan is not a child, he used to be an experienced micro-expression expert, unless Bai Suxin's acting skills reach the point of superb, it will be difficult to escape his secret observation.
"I'm just reminding you that I've already sent someone to check these two people, and I'll send someone to inform you if there's any news!"
"It's such a trivial matter, if you send someone to sue me, and come over in person?"
"What, my uncle thinks I'm not here right?"
"Uncle Sai. This is when you come to me. If the people in Dongchang find out, will they suspect that Jiao Hong is here? Meng Yan explained.
"Well, uncle, I believe you are calm at the moment." Sai Xiaoyu said in a very appreciative tone.
"Uncle Sai. Let's stay and eat together. ”
"Nope. I still have something. I won't stay to eat. Sai Xiaoyu shook his head.
"Then I'll send Uncle Sai!"
Sai Xiaoyu did not refuse, Meng Yan kept saying that Sai Xiaoyu was sent to the door, and Sai Xiaoyu said: "Stay".
Watch as Sai Xiaoyu gets into a speeding carriage. disappeared quickly, Meng Yan felt an indescribable feeling!
Sai Xiaoyu also has a huge intelligence network within Jinyiwei, he actually knows the content of his conversation with Bai Suxin, and he came to find him so quickly.
Was he reminding himself, or was he warning himself?
"How is Jiao Hong doing today?"
"It's more stable, and people have woken up." Shen Cong replied.
"What did you say?"
"I asked him where he was, who are we?"
"What did you say?"
"I said that we were also in Cuiyun Tower at the time, and seeing that you were seriously injured, I rescued him." Shen Cong said.
"Did he believe it?"
"Looking at his eyes, I didn't believe it, and I didn't ask anything, so I asked him to rest and recuperate." Shen Cong said.
"Well, Jiao Hong is a secret agent of Dongchang, he must have some experience in counter-interrogation, and people like him are different from ordinary people, they are cunning and not easy to deal with, and if they are rescued in that case, everyone will doubt the motives of the rescuer." Meng Yan Road.
"I understand, so I let Lao Fan look at him."
"With his injury, it's impossible to run now, but you can't be unguarded, just be careful!" Meng Yan instructed.
"Understood, Childe."
As the days passed, the atmosphere of the New Year became stronger and stronger, and there were more people on the streets of the capital.
Beauty is very hot, the fire is a little evil, Jiang Xiaodie remembered Meng Yan's instructions, did not do any publicity, only spread it by word of mouth among acquaintances.
That's it, every day the business is full, and there are many women who come to get the new underwear.
In order to distinguish the identity and status of the guests, Jiang Xiaodie opened the "Gui Hotel" in advance, and the furnishings inside were unique new underwear styles.
And accept tailor-made, exclusive custom, completely one-to-one service, only for some ladies and ladies with status and status!
According to Meng Yan's design, the "VIP" VIP card system was introduced into the Ming Dynasty.
There are three types of VIP cards, namely bronze, silver and gold cards, and copper cards are only issued to some young ladies and ladies of wealthy merchants.
The silver card must have someone in the family who is an official in the court, at least a fourth-rank senior member or above, less than this level, and can only be issued a bronze card.
The gold card is more demanding, at least the daughter or lady of the second-grade family, below this level, no matter how much money you have, it is useless.
However, beauty manufacturing has not yet affected this circle, so gold card holders are currently their own people.
The business is very hot, almost described as robbing money, such a profitable business, naturally some people are red-eyed!
But behind the "Made in Beauty" is Jinyiwei, and there are mysterious shareholders, as soon as someone has this idea, they are pressed down.
Among them, there are some princes and nobles and bigwigs in the court.
But as soon as they had this idea, they received the harshest warning from the inner court, don't fight the idea of "made by beauty", otherwise they will die ugly!
Only the guys below who don't know the depth don't know how deep the water is "made by beauty", and the fate is natural.
The celebrant is smoky.
"It's all for our family, don't fight the idea made by that beauty, it's not something you can touch, and also, restrain the people below, and don't look for trouble, otherwise you won't know how to die." Wang Zhen summoned a group of his subordinates and lectured them face-to-face.
"Lord Weng, what is the origin of this beauty?"
"Hehe, you really want to know?"
"The new underwear they are selling, it is called an exposure, it is simply incorruptible and shameful, it is really immoral, and it should be banned!"
"You've seen it?"
"No, listen to the people outside, that's called a disgusting ......"
"I don't think there's anything, do you see someone wearing their underwear outside on the street?"
"That's not it."
"If you wear it inside, who can see it, why is it shameless?"
"There are a lot of people who buy it......
"yes, it's expensive!"
"Father-in-law Cao, I heard that this beauty has a lot to do with Jinyiwei, and the host is a woman, what is Jiang Xiaodie?" Wang Zhen, who was standing beside Cao Jixiang, asked Mao Gui.
"Quiet, you just have to listen to our family's orders, don't make trouble for our family." Wang Zhen reprimanded again.
"Master Weng, you will give us a secret, so that everyone can feel at ease?"
"Okay, let's just say one more thing, this beauty is made by heaven." Wang Zhen opened his eyes and swept over the many henchmen below.
In this way, everyone took a breath of cool air and passed through the sky, which means that this "Made in Beauty" has something to do with the emperor, maybe there is an emperor in it!
Who ate leopard gall and robbed the emperor's business, isn't that the birthday star eating arsenic, and he is greasy?
"Now that everyone understands, they are all scattered, and Jixiang stays!"
"No!"
"Jixiang, do you know why our family wants you to stay?" Wang Zhen stared at Cao Jixiang and asked.
"Returning to the lord, I don't know if it's auspicious!"
"In the past, Jinyiwei was the master's eagle dog, a sharp knife, and the master used it to eradicate those disobedient courtiers, and we are the eyes and ears of the master, responsible for finding those disobedient for the master, but the most important thing is that we can accumulate wealth for the master, and now there are people who can help the master make money."
"What does Lord Weng mean is that if this person helps the master earn more money than us, then the master may not need us?"
"What do you say, the people we sent out in the past two years have become more and more disagreeable, there are many people who impeach us, and they are subjected to such torture almost every day, how much can our family suppress?" Wang Zhendao.
"What the master said is, but if we don't do this, how can we get money for the master?" Cao Jixiang asked.
"Find a way, find a few people who can do business, we can also do some business, with the resources in our hands, if we want to make money, is it still difficult?" Wang Zhendao.
"But what are we going to do?"
"Whatever is in demand in the capital, let's do anything, do you still need me to teach you?" Wang Zhen glanced at Cao Jixiang.
"Okay, auspicious, let's do it."
"Remember, it's not our own business, it's our master's, understand?" Wang Zhen raised his eyelids and said.
"Understood!" Cao Jixiang nodded.
"By the way, Bai Suxin's case, is there any movement on Meng Yan's side?" Wang Zhen asked.
"The master gave him a month, and if there is no investigation result within the time limit, the verdict made by our Dongchang will be maintained, however, it is observed that in addition to removing Bai Suxin from the prison of the Criminal Department, Meng Yan is rectifying his patrol envoy Yamen."
"Hehe, young man, he just loves to toss, so let him toss." Wang Zhen smiled strangely with a pair of red lips.
"Yes, just don't forget about the investigation." (To be continued......)
