Chapter 31 Stealing the dragon and turning the phoenix into thirty-one

After leaving Zhang's Mansion, Qin Tai told Zhan Xiaoxiao about himself. Zhan Xiaoxiao also carefully told Qin Tai about the affairs of Zhang's Mansion, and Qin Tai also felt that the problem here was very serious. He wrote a letter to Tan Yan in a secret language that outsiders could not understand. Then he and Zhan Xiaoxiao came to the entrance of the military department and asked a soldier to send the letter to Tan Yan, who was working inside. The soldier didn't agree, but Zhan Xiaoxiao showed the waist card of Dongchang, and the soldier immediately sent it in. After the soldiers entered, Qin Tai and his wife also turned around and left the military headquarters. Tan Tan didn't need to meet with Qin Tai, knowing that Qin Tai told Tan Tan three things. First, Qin Tai found out that someone was secretly spying on Zhang Juzheng, so he was worried that someone was also spying on Tan Yan. I want Tan Tan to go home secretly to investigate this matter, but don't startle the snake. Second, Qin Tai wrote a prescription for Tan Lun, half of which is Chinese medicine and half is an ingredient, which is both medicine and a vegetable, which can strengthen the body. Third, Tan Tan should inquire about the gossip about the imperial family, especially the Emperor Longqing, and pay attention to everyone's attitude and trends.

Qin Tai didn't plan to go directly to this osmanthus matchmaker right away, he and his wife Zhan Xiaoxiao took the opportunity of the sky not yet dark, and asked about the osmanthus personality separately. Soon after, Qin Tai and Zhan Xiaoxiao converged, and the two of them shared the clues they had heard, and finally knew a more general osmanthus matchmaker. In the eyes of outsiders, this somewhat elderly osmanthus matchmaker is a good matchmaker. Not only is the price fair, but she also has a little conscience, at least she will not marry blindly. And she said goodbye for free for some old bachelors and women who couldn't get married, so everyone said that the osmanthus matchmaker was a good person. It's just that everyone doesn't know the origin of the osmanthus matchmaker, and even those who know only know that osmanthus used to be the concubine of an official, and the son of the official who begged to be in charge of the house was driven out. Therefore, everyone not only trusts the osmanthus matchmaker, but also some people sympathize with the osmanthus matchmaker. In particular, Qin Tai met a neighbor who was born as an official prostitute and learned more information about osmanthus from her. This official prostitute, who is now the proprietress of the tofu factory, used her own money to redeem herself. Fortunately, this official prostitute is not a family member of a criminal official, so he allowed himself to redeem himself. But even if it is a redeemed **, it is the average man who looks down on a woman who is unwilling to marry. For this reason, she asked the osmanthus matchmaker to help, and the osmanthus matchmaker thought of a background for her, saying that she was a bitter child whose hometown was affected by the disaster and all her family died. found her an honest and reliable man in this way, plus this official prostitute is usually obedient and low-key, so no one knows about her past. It just so happened that Qin Tai saw the mark on her shoulder and knew her identity, so he deliberately said that he was the new manager of the teaching workshop. In view of the natural fear of the steward, this already good proprietress did not dare to lie 1510 and said it. After Qin Tai knew that Osmanthus was a person, he asked her not to tell anyone about her life history. Qin Tai promised to destroy the relevant information of this official prostitute whose original name was Peony after he went back. As long as the information is gone, this peony is no longer an official prostitute, if she doesn't care about too many people knowing, she really wants to kowtow to Qin Tai on the spot.

Zhan Xiaoxiao also found out that Osmanthus was a good person, and Osmanthus secretly adopted several orphans. It may be because they can't have children and don't have a family, so osmanthus is good for children. Some of the children are already married, some are about to start a family, some are about to reach adulthood, and some have just been adopted. Everyone respects this osmanthus lady very much, and it seems that this osmanthus matchmaker is not like a bait for the other party.

After Qin Tai and Zhan Xiaoxiao had a simple meal, they sat at Osmanthus House and waited for Osmanthus to come home. Osmanthus returned to her home soon after, and there was still a faint smell of wine on her body. Probably because of the long-term life without freedom, osmanthus does not have high requirements for life. It's rare for someone to invite her to drink and eat, so Osmanthus is a little out of shape, not only drunk but also a little gibberish. I didn't know that there were two people waiting for her at home, Qin Tai and Zhan Xiaoxiao.

Zhan Xiaoxiao didn't quite understand the song that the osmanthus matchmaker was half-drunk and half-awake humming, but at that time, Qin Tai heard the taste. It seems that Osmanthus was in the workshop when she was young, belonged to the song and dance class, and learned many repertoire. Qin Tai couldn't help but say, "Osmanthus, you have been away from the sect for many years. If people know that you know these tracks, they will doubt your identity. If you let people know about your past, it will affect your future. And if your children knew, how would you deal with them? ”

Osmanthus was first taken aback by Qin Tai's sudden appearance, and then completely frightened by Qin Tai's words. Osmanthus stammered, "Who are you?" How do I know my past? How do you know I have a group of children? Are you threatening me? Although Osmanthus wanted to pretend that she didn't care, her trembling had already exposed her heart.

Qin Tai took out the identity card given to him by the sect and said, "How do I know?" Because I know it from some people. Because I am the new steward of the workshop, I have come to investigate the old archives. Osmanthus, as if you can't redeem yourself directly. So you are still an official prostitute in the church, do you know how many sins you have committed? First, leave the workshop without permission. Second, forging a fake household register. Third, to help ransom official prostitutes forge their identities. Fourth, concealing past identities and attempting to commit misdeeds. If I report to the police, do you know what the consequences will be? "When Qin Tai left the workshop, he checked the old archives and found that Osmanthus was a second-generation official prostitute, and he generally couldn't redeem himself casually. That is to say, the official was just an official prostitute for a long time, and he did not redeem himself for Osmanthus, no wonder Osmanthus did not dare to resist or report to the official to fight for his own reputation.

Osmanthus was completely intimidated by Qin Tai's identity, and she knelt on the ground and begged Qin Tai. Zhan Xiaoxiao couldn't look at it, and stepped forward to help up the already frightened osmanthus. Qin Tai couldn't scare Osmanthus anymore, and said, "Okay, now I said that I want to send you to the official immediately?" If you cooperate with me and do things obediently, I can help you solve the household registration problem. If you don't cooperate, or if you want to betray me, I don't mind telling the adults about you. ”

Osmanthus immediately nodded and said, "Okay, okay, okay." As long as the adults say anything and do what they want me to do, I will definitely agree. As long as I can help the adults, please don't arrest me. I don't want to go back to the church when I die, it's a hell on earth. ”

Qin Tai motioned for Osmanthus to sit down, and said, "I heard that you know a strange woman. The woman seems to be a gentleman who became rich and pregnant shortly after her disappearance. When you talk about this woman, tell all you know. ”

Osmanthus settled down, and then said slowly: "If you go back to adulthood, there is really such a person." Qingqi is our industry dialect, which means that there is no pick-up. This Qingqi is a little girl in Wanhualou, who was once sent to the teaching workshop to learn vocal music for a period of time. It was supposed to be auctioned publicly, but I didn't expect it to go missing. Not long ago, I was talking to a sister when I stumbled upon this woman. Not only did the woman become wealthy, but she was followed by a large group of men and women, and she walked in a posture that looked like she was pregnant. I went up to talk to her, but was stopped by a couple of powerful women. That Qingqi is also like a different person, not only pretending not to know me, but also speaking very arrogantly. So I went back to the church and asked about her, but I didn't expect to have any clues about her. What I said is true, and if there is a lie, you can arrest me or even send me back to the church. ”

The teaching workshop is government-run**, and there are many private**. Wanhualou is privately run, and there are not too many resources to cultivate talents. Therefore, the teaching workshop also often recruits some students as apprentices for some old official prostitutes, and the teaching workshop can also get some benefits from it. Aqing has been a teacher for a long time, and many of the students he has taught are red cards.

It seems that this Wanhualou and this woman are a clue. Qin Tai knows that there is a relationship between the **, and the teaching workshop is the boss of the ** industry, so if you inquire about the ** thing, you can call the signboard of the teaching workshop. As for inquiring about the woman's news, Qin Tai wanted to use the soldiers of the military department. Only the fastest and safest use of soldiers, do not have to worry about anyone secretly hindering you. Qin Tai immediately asked Zhan Xiaoxiao to go to Tan Yan's house and take someone to search for this woman on the carpet. As for Qin Tai going to Wanhualou alone, the reason why he didn't take Zhan Xiaoxiao to go was because it was not a place where a woman should go. As long as there is a waist card of the teaching workshop, Qin Tai will not be in danger in Wanhualou, and Wanhualou will also protect Qin Tai's safety.

Just when Zhan Xiaoxiao went to Tan Tan's house and La Tan Tan led people to search for women for no reason, Qin Tai had already come to Wanhualou alone. Wanhualou belongs to the middle ** of the capital, although it is not a rich and expensive person to come here, and the consumption is not cheap. After Qin Tai came to Wanhualou, he personally came up to interrogate this guest. The boss didn't dare to drive Qin Tai away at will without knowing Qin Tai's identity, but he always felt that Qin Tai didn't look like a rich prostitute's guest.

Qin Tai also saw that ** looked down on himself a little, and Qin Tai directly threw his waist card to ** in order not to let ** talk too much. First startled, then immediately deferential. Coincidentally, this ** came out of the workshop, and the most feared thing is the adults in the workshop. Although she has not only redeemed herself, but also become a ** of Wanhualou, she is still afraid of the adults in the workshop. After seeing this waist card, ** almost knelt down for Qin Tai on the spot.
