Chapter 178: The Horse's Feet Appear
Lord Shangshu, must those spices have been made by that woman? β
Jiang Yi took two sips of tea, his expression was indifferent, as if everything was going according to his arrangement, "If I say no, will you believe it?" Besides, if there is nothing special about a woman, do you think Duan Shizi's eyes are above the top, will he fall in love with her? β
The man who asked the question immediately had a sudden realization on his face, and saluted again and again, "My subordinates have been taught." β
On the other side, Qin Yunluo, who didn't know what was going on here, was still packing up some of the drawings he had sorted out, preparing to give them to Linfeng tomorrow.
"Please."
Qin Yunluo heard the movement and put down the things in his hand, and immediately walked out, seeing his dusty appearance, he hurriedly poured a glass of water for him, and the surrounding maids also retreated with interest.
Qin Yunluo looked at the bloodshot spots in the corners of his eyes, thought about it, and couldn't help but ask, "Is this matter tricky?" β
Qin Yunluo sat down and touched Duan Xingzhen's eyes, "I see that you have been going out early and returning late these days, and we are always able to talk for so many times in the evening. And, look at your eyes, the red blood in them is terrifyingly tight. β
Duan Xingzhen saw Qin Yunluo's concerned look. I didn't want to hide a little bit from her, but said, "It's trickier than I imagined, but I can definitely solve it, but it will take some time, before this matter is completely resolved, if there is something abnormal in the behavior of others for the guards to solve, you should be cautious in your own actions." β
Qin Yunluo nodded and agreed. Then he suddenly remembered what the man had asked him during the day, and now if he thought about it carefully, something was still wrong.
Duan Xingzhen saw that something was wrong with Qin Yunluo's expression, and immediately asked, "But what happened?" β
"Today, during the day, a guest came to Sihai Xiangfang to buy some spices, and at that time he was very curious about some of my things, and asked about the spices sold in Xiangfang."
"And do you remember what he looked like?"
Seeing Duan Xingzhen asking like this, Qin Yunluo must have had something wrong here, and thought carefully with her brows, "Square face, slender eyes, eyebrows flying into sideburns, the bridge of the nose is slightly collapsed, and there is an obvious scar on the chin. β
Reluctantly depicting the appearance of the person, Qin Yunluo immediately asked, "Did you think of something wrong?" β
"Well, Xu is someone who has sent someone who wants to inquire about you. I'll let the black shinobi investigate this later. β
Qin Yunluo nodded, her brows still didn't stretch, and Duan Xingzhen called her a few times but didn't respond.
Duan Xingzhen saw that Qin Yunluo's mind was still on that matter, so he casually started a conversation and diverted his attention, "I haven't been busy these days and can't take care of you, are you still used to it in Beijing?" β
Qin Yunluo nodded, "The princess is very good, and I'm not bored, Yin'er will help me do some things from time to time, and the princess will also accompany me to chat and relieve my boredom." There is also Linfeng who asked me to help solve the affairs of the Four Seas Commercial Bank, and you are by my side. β
The corners of Duan Xingzhen's mouth hooked a faint arc, "If you have time these days, let the concubine accompany you around, if the request made by Linfeng is cumbersome, you can ignore it." β
Qin Yunluo nodded, leaned in and kissed Duan Xingzhen's forehead, and the corners of her mouth finally returned to a smile, "It's getting late now, you can wash up and rest, tomorrow will be a busy day again." β
Duan Xingzhen nodded, and gently imprinted a kiss on Qin Yunluo's forehead before leaving. Qin Yunluo touched it, laughed in place for a while, blew out the light, and fell asleep.
"Please forgive me." Momoyue knelt on the ground, "It's the slave maid who is not doing well, and she hasn't been able to contact that woman, these days she always follows some people when she goes out, and the slave maid missed the errand." β
Speaking of this, Bai Yingzhi's anger was even worse, and he knew more in his heart Duan Xingzhen's love for Qin Yunluo, so he protected it in every possible way.
"Momotsuki, tell me where Miss Ben can't compare to that pariah? The goods from the small mountain village dare to compete with me. β
"That woman is naturally inferior to Miss, she must have used some kind of flattery to confuse Duan Shizi, otherwise, why would Duan Shizi fall in love with such a good-for-nothing woman?"
Bai Yingzhi's heart was much more relaxed, and after sitting down, he said coldly, "Continue to follow, Miss Ben wants to see how long Brother Xingshizi can protect her." β
"The slave will send someone forward, the young lady will be angry, there is no need to spoil her body for this kind of popularity."
In less than half a day, Hei Ren found out the news of that person and immediately replied to Duan Xingzhen.
"That man's name is Hong Haocai, he regards wealth as his life, and he had contact with the housekeeper of Jiang Shangshu's mansion a few days ago, and after he went back at that time, he heard from his neighbor that he made a windfall."
The neighbor asked how to make a windfall, but he refused to say anything, and only said that if he did, he would definitely not survive tonight, and the people gave up and did not ask again.
Duan Xingzhen's expression changed several times, only to hear Hei Ren continue, "Now that man has been restrained and imprisoned, as for what to do, please show Duan Shizi." β
Duan Xingzhen's fingers tapped on the tabletop, "Where is the champion now?" β
"It should be that he is busy with some things in the household department, but the prince needs his subordinates to invite him over?"
Duan Xingzhen waved his hand, and Hei Ren immediately went to the household department, and after a while, the two of them walked through the side door to Duan Xingzhen's study.
Lu Jiazhi looked at the man who was put on the ground, and looked at Duan Xingzhen suspiciously, "I don't know, what does Duan Shizi mean by this?" β
"This prince is looking for some things, including the matter of stirring up the relationship between the palace, which is inextricably linked to Jiang Yi."
Although Weichen first entered the court as an official, he had also heard that Jiang Shangshu's family was extremely loyal to the emperor, so he should not do such a thing, not to mention ...... "Shizi, you are prestigious, naturally no one will have trouble with you."
Duan Xingzhen interrupted Lu Jiazhi's words, "You don't count this matter if you tell me, so naturally you want to find the Holy Lord's ruling." β
Lu Jiazhi nodded, and the two secretly entered the palace to meet the emperor, and told him what had happened before.
"Emperor Qiqi, whether it is the assassination of Weichen's mother and concubine or the provocation of the relationship between the two palaces, they are all closely related to Jiang Shangshu.
The emperor frowned and didn't speak for a while, it seemed that he still couldn't believe that Jiang Yi would do such a thing.
"Is there a misunderstanding about this? Can you take a closer look? β
