Regarding the news that Wanqin had just received, Xie Mulin heard a completely different version from Wen's here.

Wen told her: "Your father has no intention of attacking Qiluo Fang, and neither does Yan Wangfu, so he should still be waiting to catch bigger fish with it." However, Qiluofang has indeed encountered some troubles in the past few days, so the shopkeeper and his wife closed the shop and secretly hid out. If the news is not good, it is not impossible for them to flee. ”

Xie Mulin asked curiously, "What trouble are they in?" It actually got to the point where the shopkeeper and his wife wanted to escape? Aren't they the Cao family's spies? Could it be that the Cao family could tolerate them leaving their posts without permission? ”

Wen sighed: "I don't know what the inside story is, but Mrs. Wan revealed that the proprietor behind this Qiluo Fang is actually the Lin family, and now the Lin family is in a bad situation, and maybe when it will be destroyed, Na Luo Niangzi heard the news in Wanjia, so she fled in fear, for fear of being found out by the government, and the husband and wife would even have to pay for their lives." ”

"Huh?" Xie Mulin was a little confused, "Lin family? Isn't Qiluofang the Cao family's secret industry? ”

"So, I don't know why Mrs. Wan said that." Wen hesitated for a moment, "When I sent my master out in the morning, I saw that Mrs. Wan also sent Master Wan out, and it seemed that she had to accompany Master Wan all the way to the yamen, so I accosted her a few words. That's what she said at the time. The lord also heard it, but he had no intention of correcting it. Wan Senate ...... In fact, I don't know what is going on. After all, he is from Beijing, and he is from the Prince's Mansion, so Lord Yan is not sure whether he is tight enough. ”

Xie Mulin didn't care about Senator Wan, she was only curious about one thing: "This Qiluofang and Mrs. Wan ...... How did it get involved? Why would Mrs. Wan say such a thing? ”

Mrs. Wan would say such a thing, in fact, it has something to do with her recent entanglement with Qiluofang. This is also one of the reasons why the shopkeeper Luo and his wife are now closed and fleeing.

It is said that the shopkeeper lady of Qiluofang, although she was not very beautiful, has a very good temperament, fair complexion, elegant conversation, and a demeanor between gestures, which is not inferior to the ladies raised by ordinary small officials and eunuchs. She followed her husband in and out of the official palaces in Beiping, and made friends with the ladies in the backyard, and she could also show extraordinary insight, and what was even more rare was that she was very good at talking, coaxing all men, women and children to be happy, and everyone thought she was good.

Many young girls suspect that she is from everyone's background, but she herself is vague and refuses to say it clearly, so some people make up her mind that she is estimated to be in the middle of the family and has to marry a businessman, so she has no face to mention her mother's family, and they all have some sympathy for her. Because the quality of the clothes in Qiluofang is high-quality, the price is relatively affordable, and you can always get the latest and most popular patterns in Jiangnan, so although it is still a new store, the ladies in the official eunuchs are also willing to deal with Luo Niangzi and help her family's business.

Luo Niangzi is not only good friends with female relatives, if she meets a man from each family, whether it is an official in charge, an old lady, a young master, a miscellaneous nephew or something, she will respectfully and coax everyone to be happy. She doesn't have any personal relationship with these men, but often a few words at the right time can make the other party regard her as a confidant, occasionally provide her with some inside information, or give her a little benefit, which is enough for her husband and wife. She had always acted as if she were a dignified and virtuous woman, and not frivolous, so that the ladies of the families would not suspect her of being a vixen. Even if any of the wives and grandmothers of any family are suspicious of her actions, they are just no longer patronizing Qiluofang, and they will not accuse her of anything without evidence. Therefore, Luo Niangzi has always been able to mix like a fish in water in the backyard of officials in Beiping City

She never imagined that if she acted so carefully, she would one day kick the iron plate.

The wife of Senator Wan, who only came to Peking this year to take office, is this iron plate.

Luo Niangzi just went to Wanjia to deliver the latest materials as usual, and listened to the latest news in Beiping City by the way. Because Wan Jia came from the capital, she also inquired about some news in Beijing by the way, and then she was surprised to hear from Mrs. Wan that the Cao Lin family was fighting each other, the Lin family was seriously damaged, the family pillar was imprisoned, and an important official was about to be sentenced to death.

According to Mrs. Wan, Luo Niangzi's face changed at that time, so she guessed that the proprietor behind Qiluo Fang was either surnamed Cao or Lin.

Because of Luo Niangzi's change of color, Mrs. Wan noticed something wrong and lost her interest in choosing new clothes, so Luo Niangzi hurriedly said goodbye and left, without even coaxing the customer. Unfortunately, on the way to the gate of Wanjia's official residence, she met Senator Wan who was temporarily returning home, and she didn't know what she had in mind, so she didn't salute as usual, and left after greeting her, but stayed there and talked with Senator Wan!

Mrs. Wan's girl saw it from a distance and immediately reported it to the mistress. Mrs. Wan personally supported the girl and rushed to see what was going on, regardless of the cold wind. Luo Niangzi said goodbye and left. Senator Wan seemed to be a little unsatisfied, complaining that his wife had eaten some flying vinegar for no reason, which scared the guests away.

This can poke a hornet's nest.

Mrs. Wan's jealousy is well-known throughout the city. She is extremely harsh to her concubines and concubines, and will even speak ill of each other because there are other sons and ladies who say good things for her concubines and concubines. Xie Mulin's brothers and sisters had only arrived in Beiping, and the Wen family specially told them to turn a blind eye to some things in the Wan family, so as not to attract bad words from Mrs. Wan. For the children of her husband's boss or colleagues, Mrs. Wan is so unkind, not to mention just the wife of a small silk shopkeeper?

On the second day, the people sent out by Mrs. Wan went directly to the gate of Qiluofang to scold, and scolded Luo Niangzi as a|woman|***, what words are ugly and scolding. Because they had been done in advance, the patrol officers in the past at most only advised the scolding to be quieter and not to block the street, and did not mean to block or take away. Qiluofang couldn't do business that day, so it had to close its doors. Today is the third day, and the store is still closed. At this time, the guy in the store rumored that the shopkeeper Luo and his wife seemed to have hid out and did not know their whereabouts.

When the news was reported back to Mrs. Wan, she didn't think that she sent someone to scold, so that the Luo family and his wife could only deal with it by closing the store and fleeing, but she determined the authenticity of the rumor that "the proprietor behind Qiluofang is the Lin family". It was precisely because of the accident in the Lin family that after the Luo shopkeeper and his wife got the news, they were afraid of being implicated, so they fled.

Of course, the Xie family knows that the financier behind Qiluofang is not surnamed Lin but Cao, and the Lin family in the capital is certainly unlucky, but the situation of the Cao family is not very good. If it is said that the shopkeeper and his wife fled because of this, it is reasonable. It's just that the Yan Wangfu and the Xie family are planning to keep an eye on this intelligence point of the Cao family, and they are ready to calculate the Cao family, but now that their calculations have failed, wouldn't they be disappointed?

Xie Mulin lowered his voice and asked Wen, "What's going on with the Cao family?" What Mrs. Wan said...... Is it true? "Even Second Master Cao suffered?!
