Today's "Express" has an unexpected content, and the stone specially waited until the reports of various "fast" brands were all handed over, and then hurried back to the village. Although he had already missed the dinner hour, he didn't dare to delay for a moment, and directly sent the express to Lu Jiu'er's special study first.

"Good work." The purple beauty took it and opened it, and sighed in surprise.

"Girl, is there anything wrong?" Stone asked.

He re-recalled the expressions and voices of the people who delivered the newspaper everywhere in his mind, and found nothing out of the ordinary.

"There's nothing wrong with it, it's just a pleasure." Lu Jiu'er smiled and reassured him, and said, "Dabei's 'Tianyan' intelligence network is becoming more and more mature. The provincial capital city that the fifth son of the Wei family had just entered early in the morning showed up a little, and some details had already been found out in the express report of the day. ”

It turned out that Ah Qian came back at this time to teach at Yide Academy.

"The fifth son of the Wei family?" Shi knew that this person was Wei Er's younger brother, "Why does the Express want to investigate its own people?" "And I just came back from the city.

"Maybe he has some behaviors that have inadvertently aroused alarm." Lu Jiu'er shook her head with a smile.

Her tender fingers were like congealed flesh on the paper, and she had a mystery in her heart that had not been solved.

"Yunxia." She whispered outside, "Find Ah Sen to see what he confessed." ”

"Yes, girl." A figure dangled through the window and left.

Confess?!

The stone nerve is tense. "Someone is here again today?"

Lu Jiu'er smiled lightly: "Well, it's the two people mentioned in the express, Wei Ziqian and Qingmo." ”

"How did you catch that......" Stone was stunned, and glanced at the girl's expression carefully.

This fifth son of the Wei family, isn't it the girl's childhood sweetheart? He still remembered that Ume had said that the poppies in the courtyard had been moved out of the corridor of the wing, and that the girl had taken care of them every day, until two years ago—

Two years ago. By the way, the correspondence between the girl and Wei Wushao seems to have been cut off at that time. Wu Mei also breathed a sigh of relief, saying that she had always regarded the girl as the most compatible partner with the Seventh Young Master, and she was not happy to think about the others.

As the stone's thoughts turned, Lu Sen had already come to the outside of the study, bowed his head and saluted to report for duty.

"Come in." Lu Jiu'er beckoned him to sit inside, "What did you ask?" ”

Lu Sen smiled, and was about to sell his good job, when he suddenly caught a glimpse of Deputy Shi inside, looking at himself with thick eyebrows and big eyes. Where did he dare to make a mistake, he quickly straightened his expression, stood up with a slightly stiff posture, and reported:

"Back to the girl, the white shirt has confessed, but the information needs to be verified! The dead duck in Xuanyi has a hard mouth and doesn't spit out a word! ”

"Well, is it tortured?"

Use...... Torture?!

The stone heart sank, and he looked at Lu Jiu'er, whose temperament was still calm and gentle.

"Yes, it's all used. Starve first, then lure with food, and those who are willing to tell the truth will be eaten. Then use goose feathers to sweep the soles of the feet to extract a confession to determine whether the previous recruitment is complete and true......"

Belch...... Is it such a child's play? The stone frowned at Lucerne.

Do as the girl says. Lu Sen gave his superior a bitter look and let him experience it for himself.

The baby also has tears in his heart, which can be a domineering scene that shocks all directions, but it is forcibly distorted into a picture of a child playing at home.

But he didn't dare to say these words in front of the girl.

As a result, the white shirt said the same thing before and after. It's that Xuanyi's is very uncooperative. "Either close your eyes and ignore them, or you stared at them as if you were going to kill someone. It's a pity that the girl said that he was not allowed to move roughly, which made his fists and teeth itch to death.

Lucerne respectfully presented a confession with both hands. "Girl, please."

Lu Jiuer opened it and took a look, the content was simple and pale, basically the same as what the express found was found.

She lowered her eyes and chuckled. It's funny.

Jiu'er put down her confession, gave Lu Sen a look of affirmation and appreciation, and said, "Ah Sen did a good job. Next, inform Sister Mei to arrange a guest room, you take them to eat first, and then go back to the wing room to rest. ”

Yes? Yes!

“…… Okay, girl. ”

Lu Sen groped the back of his head and walked away. Could it be that these two are really the girl's friends?

This matter seems to be as light as a feather, and it has not been mentioned since Lu Sen left. Jiu'er handed the bulletin to the stone, motioning for him to take a closer look. What is written above is about the investigation of the ownership of the street shop in the south of the provincial capital.

The stone carefully read it from beginning to end twice, and still found no clues. Jiu'er took another bulletin out of the drawer and handed it to him.

"This is the list of the shops on Chengdong Street, do you see any words that have been repeated many times?"

“…… Wu? The stones compared, "Although the name of the shopkeeper is different, they are all surnamed Wu." ”

Lu Jiu'er nodded. "In the middle of last year, when I was looking for a shop in the Happy Stack, I asked 'Tianyan' to collect information about the shops in Wangshi Street. It's only been a year now, and a quarter of the shops have changed owners, and they are all taken over by people surnamed Wu. ”

"What does the girl mean is that there are nobles arranging for domestic slaves to control the market?"

Jiu'er bit her lip. If she guessed correctly, when the deployment of this noble man is completed, the business of the provincial capital city will be monopolized, and the prices, land prices, and housing prices will be manipulated, and the merchants who are not deeply rooted and undependent will suffer first, and then the big shops will be slowly squeezed and eaten, and the small shops will be directly forced to swallow the whale.

"Girl?" Shi Tan asked, "Otherwise, I will continue to enter the city tomorrow and talk to Dabei in person." ”

"It's fine." In the case of unsound information, all speculation is in vain. "But remind Dabei, be cautious, don't rush forward in everything, don't let the other party find out." I don't know if it's a tiger or a bear who is sleepy in the cave, and safety is paramount.

"In addition, you ask Dabei to investigate the methods used to get hold of those shops that have been transferred."

If it is forcible and reckless, we can only wait and see what happens. But if that's a master who is willing to spend real money, maybe, if handled properly, there are still business opportunities hidden here.

The night was getting deeper, and a bright crescent moon climbed up the eaves.

Lu Jiu'er returned to the wing, and Wumei had already instructed her subordinates to prepare bath supplies. At present, the village has enough manpower and surplus, and a courtyard has been added next to the house, adding several guest houses, and Wumei and Shi have also moved out of the main courtyard, leaving only Jiu'er and the maid to live. Although the back-and-forth footsteps have increased, when it comes to the girl's daily needs, Ume still does it herself without too much trouble.

When the hairpin rings on her head were gently removed one after another, Jiu'er spread her hands and cooperatively asked Wumei to take off her coat for her.

"By the way, have the two uninvited guests settled down today?"

Ume's movements paused imperceptibly. "It's getting late now, do you want to see them?"

"Nope." Lu Jiu'er walked into the barrier screen, gently untied her shirt, and slowly submerged her body into the warm soup of fluttering petals, "Let them come and go freely." ”

Ume said yes, and then exited the wing. Yunxia under the corridor quietly followed, and asked softly: "The girl asked, do you want to arrange ......it?"

"No, I don't. You inform them to unlock early tomorrow morning and let them leave. "Anyway, depending on the girl's meaning, it should be that she is not happy to see that person for the time being. It is better to do this, so as not to cause any extraneous branches.

Ume had already made up her mind in her heart. In short, she tried her best to protect the good girl for the Seventh Young Master, but she couldn't let other disciples cut off her beard!

Yunxia got Wumei's letter, and her heart was also steady, and she steadily walked towards the outer courtyard to pass the order.

They are all on Brother Dabei's side. I heard that the black boy is a girl, what kind of childhood sweetheart? Tsk, let the past pass! No one is as good as their big brother Da Bei, and big brother and the girl are a perfect match!

Wei Ziqian sneezed more than a dozen times in succession. One is more powerful than the other, and I can't stop it, and I can't stop it, and my tears and snot are about to spurt out.

He stood barefoot on the uneven ground, his coat had long been stripped off, and his hair was a little messy, scattered and floating on his forehead and neck, looking pitiful.

He didn't feel cold at all, just a little hungry and thirsty.

Wei Ziqian was only wearing a middle coat, touching his stomach that was constantly protesting, and through the crack in the door, he couldn't help but smile wryly when he saw the neatly arranged beds and quilts and sumptuous dishes outside.

Jiu'er has resentment in her heart. Moreover, I'm afraid that there is a lot of resentment.

Otherwise, how could he have locked him in the firewood room all the time, and asked someone to put the bed and food outside, so that he could see but not touch. This is naked spiritual abuse!

There was a slight sound, and then the door to the firewood room opened.

It's Qingmo.

His sword eyebrows, which almost grew into his sideburns, were raised, as if asking: Are you still satisfied with this trip to Happy Valley?

Wei Ziqian sighed.

In fact, he also had a deep consciousness, but he didn't expect that the kitten's temperament became more temperamental as he grew older.

"It's hard to coax." He muttered, brushed his clothes, walked out of the firewood room to the stone table where the food was placed, helped the watchman who was sleeping to the side and lay down first, and then beckoned Qingmo to sit down. "Come on, wrap your belly first."

Qingmo gave him a hopeless look, and then sat down. That's right, the world is big, it's not as big as eating.

It's a pity that I have something in my heart, and I can't eat steadily.

Wei Ziqian looked at Qing Mo and asked inquiringly, "You say, can the trick of bitter meat trick be useful?" ”

Qingmo's movements stiffened slightly, and then he turned a deaf ear and let him toss.

Anyway, he had already figured it out, he was just a scholar, just a subordinate, just a servant, just a guard, just a walking corpse...... Any mess you want! As long as he hypnotizes ** like this, he should be able to mix much more comfortably with Wei Ziqian's days.
