Qin Yining's carriage stopped in the hidden alley behind King Ning's mansion, and the shopkeeper Zhong got out of the car to find someone to find a relationship and inquire about the matter, while Qin Yining stayed in the car with Bingtang and Jiyun to wait.

Bingtang asked in a low voice, "Girl, why don't we go in?" This time, King Ning should be in the mansion, and the girl is worried that King Ning will not agree? ”

"Yes, let's not say anything else, let's say first that if I were King Ning, I wouldn't let myself get involved in such troubles, now that the government is chaotic, King Ning has led the troops, and the emperor is suspicious, and it's hard to guarantee that people won't guess more if they don't do anything, not to mention standing in line at will. This is the biggest taboo. ”

Qin Yining lowered his long eyelashes, rubbed the red bean bracelet on his left wrist with the fingers of his right hand, and said quietly: "Actually, I just don't want to let go of any thread, this time I will first trouble the shopkeeper Zhong to inquire and see if there is an opportunity, if not, I still have to ask for it." ”

"The girl is right to do this." Jiyun said admiringly, "Only by not letting go of any clues can it be possible to grasp all opportunities, and the prince has always done this, no wonder the prince will put the girl on the tip of his heart so much, it turns out that he has a similar temperament." ”

Qin Yining Xiafei cheeks and said angrily: "What did you say, when you are serious, how can you talk about him." ”

Seeing Qin Yining's face crimson and even his ears red, Jiyun couldn't help but quip: "It's strange, the slave didn't say anything unserious, but she mentioned the prince." Or did the girl think something unserious about herself? ”

When Qin Yining heard this, he only felt a bang in his head, his face was almost red and dripping blood, and he looked away at a glance, and refused to say a word more.

Jiyun and Bingtang glanced at each other, and they couldn't help laughing.

It seems that the relationship between the prince and the girl has not been affected by the dispute between the two countries, but has gradually improved.

It is no wonder that the prince is so attentive to the girl, even when he only sees one side to talk, he does not forget to prepare beef in advance to get some delicious food for the girl.

First, a man is willing to cook for a woman, which in itself is extremely moving.

Second, whether it is in Da Zhou or Dayan, even if it is a nobleman, it is not so easy to eat beef, cattle are labor, and killing cattle is a major crime.

These subordinates watched from the sidelines, and they were all moved by the girl, not to mention Qin Yining, who was the party concerned?

The two maidservants were afraid that Qin Yining would not be able to erase it, so they only joked in their hearts, and they didn't dare to say a word on their faces.

Qin Yining leaned against the wall of the carriage and looked at a small grass outside through the screen window.

The weather was hot, but fortunately, the place where they parked was under the shade of a tree, and they could relieve some stuffiness, but Rao was like this, Qin Yining also sweated from time to time, and kept shaking it with a fan.

After waiting for an hour, the shopkeeper Zhong came back sweating profusely.

"The owner." Shopkeeper Zhong got into the carriage, Jiyun and rock candy consciously got out of the car, handed water and a handkerchief to serve the shopkeeper Zhong, and walked away with the coachman.

Qin Yining looked at the sweat-soaked neckline and sideburns of the shopkeeper Zhong, and said apologetically: "On a hot day, it's difficult to run this trip for the shopkeeper." ”

"It's okay, it's not a big deal." Shopkeeper Zhong waved his hand and said with a smile, "Fortunately, I didn't disgrace my mission, and I really asked the old man to find out some news."

"Just a young man, I ordered someone to check, this person's name is Li Wenhan, fourteen years old in the examination Xiucai, twenty-eight years old, has never been diligent in his career, because of careless friends, infected with the vice of gambling, often gambling outside, owed a lot of silver. Boss, do you guess what the woman who gave him just now? ”

Qin Yining said: "That woman is good with him?" Naturally, it is something that can repay the debt, and no matter how bad it is in the palace, it is enough for Li Wenhan to squander it outside. ”

"The proprietor's guess is right. I also found out about that woman just now, it was the most powerful palace maid beside Princess Ning, named Rose, who had known Li Wenhan for four years and privately decided for life. Li Wenhan has been gambling outside for many years, and he can always repay it at a critical moment, and he thinks it all depends on Rose.

"Since this rose serves Princess Ning, she must have the opportunity to come into contact with some gold and silver jewelry and other things that Princess Ning does not often care about. I ordered someone to follow Li Wenhan, found the jewelry he went to the pawnshop, and found someone to dredge the pawnshop's court, and learned that Li Wenhan's previous things were all in that pawnshop. ”

Qin Yining nodded when he heard this, his eyes contemplative.

The shopkeeper Zhong Da didn't bother, picked up another bowl of herbal tea, and then picked up the pu fan on the carriage and fanned the wind himself.

The fan in Qin Yining's hand also shook for a while, but after a moment, Qin asked the shopkeeper Zhong with a smile.

"Does the big shopkeeper know what kind of business King Ning and the Cao family have in the city?"

The shopkeeper Zhong asked in surprise: "What is the owner asking for this?" Ning Wang's family and Cao Guozhang's family have a lot of business, if the owner wants to be detailed, they have to be carefully sorted out. ”

Qin Yining twisted the red bean bracelet in his fingers and said in a low voice: "The big shopkeeper will investigate and see what the business of the two of them has intersected." ”

"Boss, do you want to ...... Looking for an opportunity to stir up a wedge between their two businesses? Shopkeeper Zhong asked uncertainly.

"Hmm." Qin Yining nodded.

"It's not very feasible." The shopkeeper Zhong said sincerely, "The owner, there will be an unwritten rule between all the noble and noble families who do business in the city, if there is some small friction in the business dealings on the shop, it is also friction between the subordinates, and the masters will not get involved." Even if we go too far in this time, I'm afraid we won't be able to attract King Ning's attention. ”

Qin Yining shook his head and said with a smile: "That's not necessarily the case. Now there are two important things, first, let the people of the Cao family become arrogant and bully King Ning's business fiercely. This kind of provocation is not difficult to think about. Second, the big shopkeeper secretly contacted Rose. ”

Qin Yining lowered his voice as he spoke, and whispered a few words in the ear of the shopkeeper Zhong.

The shopkeeper Zhong listened with round eyes, as if he was in disbelief, as if he was frightened, and said for a while: "Boss, will you be too risky to do this?" That rose is the one who has served the princess for a long time, and if the matter is revealed, the consequences will be unimaginable! ”

"It doesn't matter, she wants to be loyal, but she hopes that she and the person surnamed Li can survive. There's solid evidence there's in the pawnshop. ”

The shopkeeper Zhong thought about it, but this is really the truth.

"Okay, then it's all according to what the owner said, I'll do it, and the owner will go home with peace of mind and wait for the news."

Qin Yining smiled gratefully: "There is a big shopkeeper." ”

"Where." The shopkeeper got out of the carriage and went to do serious business with a little excitement on his face.

Qin Yining called Jiyun and rock candy, and the three of them turned back to the Hou Mansion.

ps: I'm sorry for being late because of something at home, so I'll put a short jun to appetize you first, and I'll send it later.
