Chapter 294: Wading into Troubled Waters

Shen Baiqing and Su Bowen are also smart, after they took over the shop, they cleaned up all the things on the bright side, and the rest of the things hidden in the dark are still hidden in the dark.

The business of the pastry shop is getting better and better, and everyone is willing to come to the pastry shop to buy things.

After coming and going, their shop in Kyoto is also relatively popular.

On this day, after all the cakes in the shop were bought, Shen Baiqing planned to let He Lian and others close the shop.

In the backyard, Shen Baiqing and Su Bowen drank tea and chatted together.

The couple talked happily, and just when Su Bowen was about to chat with Shen Baiqing, He Lian looked hurried, came to Shen Baiqing, and said.

"Ma'am, we found someone sneaking into the shop, and our people have already caught them."

"Who is it?"

Shen Baiqing frowned slightly, and He Lian replied seriously.

"It's the person before the intelligence network, we have no way to determine whether he has defected or not, and we have to decide between the Lord and Mrs."

Hearing this, Shen Baiqing looked at Su Bowen and took the initiative to ask.

"What are you going to do?"

Asked by Shen Baiqing, a flash of surprise flashed in Su Bowen's eyes, and then said.

"Bring someone here, I'm curious what he can say."

Knowing Su Bowen's order, He Lian brought the man up.

The man came to Shen Baiqing and Su Bowen, saluted the two, and said.

"My subordinates have seen Master Hou, Mrs. Hou."

Shen Baiqing clearly recognized that the man in front of him was the person they had left in the Kyoto Intelligence Network before, and Shen Baiqing said slowly.

"How did you find it?"

You must know that Shen Baiqing and Su Bowen have been trying to find the members of the Kyoto Intelligence Network all these days, but unfortunately some of them are still missing.

It's just that I didn't expect that someone would take the initiative to come to the door today.

The couple looked at each other, still suspicious of the man.

Su Bowen said coldly.

"When you come back, how can we be sure that you won't have defected long ago?"

Hearing this, the man was so frightened that he fell to his knees and shouted.

"Master Hou, Mrs. Hou, your subordinates don't dare! Don't hide it from Lord Hou and Mrs. Hou, there was indeed a problem with the intelligence network at that time, and it was a rebellion by people within us, but it was too late for us to find out.

At that time, the traitor was imprisoned, and he confessed everything, and then the shop was seized.

But fortunately, our people learned the news in advance and began to spread around, and not many people were caught. ”

The man's words made Shen Baiqing and Su Bowen frown, and Su Bowen looked at him and said coldly.

"Although what you say seems to make sense, we still can't trust you easily."

"The subordinates are willing to take over the interrogation."

Seeing this man like this, a trace of appreciation flashed in Su Bowen's eyes, worthy of being the person he arranged in Kyoto, sure enough, he had backbone.

In this way, the man was taken down by Su Jie for interrogation, and everyone left, leaving only Shen Baiqing and Su Bowen in the courtyard.

Shen Baiqing looked at Su Bowen and asked.

"Husband, don't you believe that man?"

"Now that the enemy is in the open and I am in the dark, the more this time is, the more you can't easily trust others, which is supposed to be dealt with carefully.

Madame rest assured, as a husband, she will not let Madame have anything to do. ”

Su Bowen's eyes flashed with stubbornness, and Shen Baiqing was moved.

Sure enough, his husband is thoughtful, and there is no way for ordinary people to compare with him.

That night, the subordinate was tortured all night, and finally Su Bowen was able to make sure that this person did not defect, so he ordered someone to raise the person well.

In this way, although it was a little unkind, it also preserved the person's reputation.

Su Bowen returned to the inner room, and Shen Baiqing had already ordered someone to prepare breakfast.

After the couple had eaten, the shop opened normally, and He Lian took people to busy the shop, and the pastries were also made by their people.

Now Shen Baiqing and Su Bowen are idle, and no one says anything.

When he thought of the last time he saw Mr. Gongsun, Su Bowen always felt unsure.

Shen Baiqing also noticed that something was wrong with Su Bowen, and hurriedly asked.

"Husband, but I'm still worried."

Seeing that his wife was so worried about himself, Su Bowen did not hide it.

"The last time I saw Mr. Gongsun, I have been thinking about how Mr. Gongsun escaped from the imperial court, which must not be so simple."

"The husband is suspicious, and there is an internal response in the capital?"

Shen Baiqing is naturally smart, and she can understand it at all, so Shen Baiqing is also a little melancholy.

"Husband is worried that the sky in the capital will change?"

"Whether the sky in the capital will change is still unknown, but if you want to come to Jinguo like this, I am afraid that the future will not be peaceful."

Su Bowen didn't plan to say more superfluous words, what should have been said had already been said, and they didn't know what would happen in the future.

Half a month later, Su Bowen and Shen Baiqing's pastry shop was very popular in Kyoto, and the people liked to come to eat cakes, and even large families would come to buy some cakes from time to time.

After coming and going, this shop is very lively.

Su Bowen and Shen Baiqing also took the opportunity to settle down in Kyoto to find a way to gather back all the people who were left outside.

A lot of their efforts were wasted in this process, but fortunately, now that they have found it, they can feel much more at ease.

On this day, after the shop closed, Shen Baiqing and Su Bowen took everyone to discuss things in the backyard.

Su Gui was the first to say.

"Master Hou, Mrs. Hou, our people have already investigated, and we suspect that this time there is an accident in the intelligence network of the Jin Kingdom, which should be inseparable from the crown prince of the Jin Kingdom."

Hearing this, Shen Baiqing and Su Bowen were both stunned, no matter what, they didn't expect that the prince of the Jin Kingdom would also be involved in this matter.

Obviously, these troubled waters are getting more and more complicated these days.

Su Bowen looked at Su Gui and commanded.

"Let our people stand still, and now we must not act rashly, if there is anything, we must wait until the time is ripe to do it."

"Yes."

After arranging things roughly, Shen Baiqing and Su Bowen went back to the room to rest.

Noticing that his wife was full of sadness, Su Bowen came behind Shen Baiqing and rubbed the acupuncture points for Shen Baiqing.

"Husband, isn't he trying to please me?"

"Pleasing the lady is what a husband should do."

Su Bowen's rhetoric did not ease Shen Baiqing's mood, she said.

"Husband, do you say that we are struggling in the Jin Kingdom now?"

"Madame, why do you say that?"

Su Bowen didn't admit it on his face, but he said in his heart that now he and his wife have the same thoughts, but they don't know what will happen to Jin Guo in the future.

On this day, the pastry shop opened normally, and Shen Baiqing personally sold pastries and chatted a lot with neighbors.

Everyone knows that the business of these two pastry shops is becoming more and more prosperous, and they don't sell pastries in the shop every day.

Those who were originally with them were all stalls on the street, and when they saw their prosperous life, they couldn't help but feel envious.

At this time, a gorgeously dressed noble boy appeared in the shop, which immediately attracted a lot of attention.

The noble son came to Shen Baiqing and said.

"I heard that your cakes are very delicious, bring them and let me taste them."
