Chapter 30 Dirty Water
Qin Wan rolled her eyes, "Mother, call the steward of 'National Color and Tianxiang'." ”
Ignoring Qin Dongshan's righteous words and the anger of Mrs. Qin, Qin Wan's delicate and glutinous voice unexpectedly calmed the crusade of the onlookers.
"Jiaojiao!"
"Mama Xia, let Uncle Ping bring someone." Bai Zhishui interrupted Qin Dongshan's words.
Old Madam Qin wanted to say something more, but when she saw the look from Qin Dongshan, she had to shut up unwillingly.
Mama Xia's movements were very fast, but in the time of a cup of tea, the steward of "National Color and Heavenly Fragrance" was brought.
"Come and see, is it him?" Bai Zhishui said to the young man.
The man shook his head, "Mrs. Hui, it's not this person." ”
Bai Zhishui nodded.
Ji muttered: "To be able to bring people to the 'national color and fragrance' is not to be in charge, but also to know the steward." ”
Her words were right, but when she said it now, it was obviously aimed at Bai Zhishui, and although her voice was not loud, it was just enough for the people around her to hear.
So the crowd of onlookers shouted again, "It's not him, it must be the people below him, who would be so stupid, sign the contract in person!" ”
Bai Zhishui didn't panic when she heard this, but continued to ask: "Little brother, when did you get to 'National Color Tianxiang'?" ”
"The tenth of last month."
"Daniel Zhang, was there a strange person in the shop on the tenth of last month?"
"Mrs. Hui, on the tenth of last month, I checked the situation of the flower room on the Zhuangzi, and the things in the shop were handed over to the shopkeeper Zhao Xin."
Daniel Zhang took a step back, and a small man stepped forward, "Madam, this little brother did arrive at the 'National Color Tianxiang' on the tenth of last month, and the reason why the little one remembers it so clearly is because he came with the little brother is a lame middle-aged man. ”
"Yes, yes, yes, the man is lame." The young man chimed in.
Zhao Xin continued: "The man directly took the little brother to the private room, the little one thought he was here to choose rouge, but after he asked people to send the best samples, he sent the people away, until a quarter of an hour later, the little brother came out first, the man bought a few pink gouaches, and finally left. It's the first time I've met such a strange guest, but I think that no matter how strange the guest's request is, as long as the thing is sold, it's good. ”
So that explains why he remembered the young man.
"In that case, it seems that it was a misunderstanding." Ji Shi came out of the round again.
"This matter is related to the reputation of the Prime Minister's Mansion and the reputation of Mrs. Ben, so this matter must be investigated. This is a seal, and the Holy Lord's side will not easily calculate it. Bai Zhishui has been lukewarm, not only did she not panic a little, but also arranged what she wanted to do next in an orderly manner.
Without waiting for Qin Dongshan to speak, she looked at Mrs. Qin again and said, "Mother-in-law, you don't want the old man to be misunderstood and suspicious by the saints." ”
Old Madam Qin's face changed slightly, "This matter is very important, let's go in and talk about it." ”
"It's okay, Jing Zhaoyin is also here today." It was Qin Mingxuan who spoke.
Qin Wan glanced at him.
"Dad, it's best to leave this matter to Jing Zhaoyin, and by the way, let a few neighbors listen, so that the people outside can rest assured, and they won't think that our officials are protecting each other." Qin Mingxuan's face was serious, and he said righteously and awe-inspiringly.
Qin Dongshan pondered for a few seconds, and finally nodded.
The appearance of a third party naturally avoids the embarrassment of the Prime Minister's government, and it will not make people misunderstand that the Prime Minister used power to cover up the crime.
Qin Wan couldn't help but look at Qin Mingxuan a few more times.
Turning his eyes, he glanced at Ji.
Although the Ji family was disheveled and embarrassed, Qin Wan still saw calculation and schadenfreude in her eyes.
When something like this happened in the Prime Minister's Mansion, the birthday feast had to end early, and the old lady Qin couldn't swallow this breath, so she sat in the flower hall and waited for Qin Dongshan to interrogate, clearly wanting to take Bai Zhishui for the knife.
Qin Wan was held by Mama Xia and walked towards "Jiaoyuan", she blanched Qin Rui along the way, and finally the two stayed in the flower hall with dead faces, sitting next to Bai Zhishui, and Qin Mingxuan sat next to Jing Zhaoyin next to Qin Dongshan.
After roughly retelling the matter, Jing Zhaoyin frowned, "The most important thing is to find the lame middle-aged man, as long as you find him, this matter will be solved." ”
Everyone knows this, but there is a vast sea of people, and it is undoubtedly a needle in a haystack to find a person who has no name or surname and does not know what he looks like.
Qin Mingxuan's face was hesitant, and he said to Bai Zhishui: "Mother, the one who can book a private room in the 'National Color and Heavenly Fragrance' and take away the guys must not be ordinary people. ”
The private room is a treatment that only the aristocratic lady can enjoy, and ordinary guests generally choose rouge gouache in the hall on the first floor, and when new goods are on the counter, the private room must be booked in advance.
Qin Mingxuan's words were originally reasonable, but when they were brought up at this time, it made people think deeply.
can enjoy VIP treatment, the lame middle-aged man is either an acquaintance, or a distinguished guest. According to Zhao Xin's description, it is impossible for distinguished guests, and there are no lame nobles in the aristocratic circle of Shengjing. If it is not a distinguished guest, it can only be an acquaintance, since it is an acquaintance, then Bai Zhishui must be related to Yinzi money.
As long as you follow this logic, this matter will eventually fall on Bai Zhishui's head, even if she doesn't come forward, she is definitely the person behind it.
"What do you mean!" Qin Rui blanched his hair, "'National Color Tianxiang' opens the door to do business, only customers choose shops, but this is the first time I have heard that there are shops that are picky about customers." ”
Qin Ruizhuo is not stupid, and naturally understands the meaning of Qin Mingxuan's words, how can he tolerate him splashing a basin of dirty water on his mother.
Qin Mingxuan was silent, his goal had been achieved, and it was useless to say more.
Bai Zhishui smiled slightly, "Ming Xuan's mind has always been meticulous, and he got to the point at once. ”
Qin Wan sat quietly to the side, without any intention of interjecting.
With her mother's identity and means, these things can't be difficult for her at all, she didn't fight before, but she just didn't care, it doesn't mean that she has no brains.
"The son is afraid, and the son also wants to share the burden for his mother." Qin Mingxuan's words are very respectful, but anyone can hear the alienation in respect.
Bai Zhishui didn't care, but said: "What Ming Xuan said is right, those who can enter the private room are all guests who are either rich or noble, Zhao Xin." ”
"The minions are here." Zhao Xin took a step forward, took out a booklet from his arms, flipped a few pages, and continued, "Madam, on the tenth of last month, this little brother entered room No. 3. ”
There are a total of fifteen private rooms in "National Color Tianxiang", which are simply numbered and not specially named.
Speaking of this, Zhao Xin seemed to have suddenly discovered something, and his expression was strange, "Eh, this ......"
"What?" It was Qin Dongshan who was questioned.
Sweat oozed from Zhao Xin's forehead, which was obviously a sign of weakness.
Qin Dongshan didn't have the patience to wait for him to answer, so he snatched the booklet from his hand and looked at it, and was dumbfounded.
The booklet in my hand is like a hot potato, and I can't hold it, and I can't lose it.
Jing Zhaoyin is the most observant of words, and immediately took over this trouble, glanced at it, and frowned, "This person is from Lord Dou's mansion?" ”
"How is that possible!" As a juror, Dou Zhi looked surprised.
"Maybe it was a misunderstanding," Jing Zhaoyin said, "maybe the man deliberately reported the name of the adult to divert our attention. ”
Dou Zhi breathed a sigh of relief at this time, and said with incomprehension: "My lord Mingjian, someone must have deliberately ruined the reputation of my Dou Mansion, and this matter must not be good." The saint clearly forbids the people to put the money without permission, and that person must have deliberately made my Dou Mansion carry the black pot. Dongshan, we are colleagues, you can't harm me. ”
The previous sentence is reasonable, but the last sentence is intriguing.
Qin Dongshan framed Dou Zhi?
What is framing?
Naturally, Bai Zhishui put the Yinzi money, but let Dou Fu carry the black pot, which is called framing.
"This ......" Jing Zhaoyin looked at Qin Dongshan in embarrassment.
Things seem to be falling out, but how to close the case?
Qin Dongshan's eyes rolled, and he said bitterly: "Since this has happened, please take care of it." ”
It's best to drag the Protector's family in, it would be perfect.
Jing Zhaoyin's face did not change, "Don't worry, my lord, this is a matter within the duties of the lower officials, and I will deal with it impartially." ”
After a pause, he looked at Bai Zhishui in embarrassment, "Madam, you ......"
This is to take Bai Zhishui into custody.
Before Bai Zhishui could answer, Mrs. Qin shouted for fear that the world would not be chaotic, "Dongshan, give me this woman a divorce, our prime minister's mansion can't tolerate this big Buddha, even if you don't protect your husband's family, you still violate the law." What kind of hatred does our qin family have with you, you want to frame our qin family like this, you want to die, I won't stop you, but you don't want to drag our qin family to be buried together! ”
Old Madam Qin leaned on her crutches fiercely, and the blue brick floor was poked and trembling by her.
"Nonsense!" Qin Ruizhuo patted the arm of the chair and stood up suddenly, "My lord, shouldn't you close the case like this?" There is no human or physical evidence! ”
"Big brother, this is wrong," Qin Mingxuan said gently, "Human witness? The family of three kneeling on the ground is not a witness? Evidence? The contract where the money was printed is not physical evidence? ”
Qin Ruizhuo sneered, "They are not a contract signed with their mother, they can't identify their mother, as for the contract, there is no mother's name on it, so the case is judged, my lord, I'm afraid it can't be said." Jiaojiao, let's go, let's go to the emperor's uncle, this matter can't be left like this! ”
Qin Ruizhuo not only protects his shortcomings, but also a splash, so he doesn't care if the matter is too big to end, he only knows that Qin Wan will come forward in this matter. The entire Shengjing people knew that as long as Qin Wan said a word, the saint nodded absolutely unprincipledly.
"This ......" Jing Zhao Yin's heart was empty.
Qin Dongshan's meaning, he somewhat understood, but I don't know when, Qin Wan will actually protect Bai Zhishui!
Doesn't it mean that this is not a good relationship between mother and daughter?
Qin Wan really wants to stand up for Bai Zhishui, and his career is over.
"Presumptuous!" Qin Dongshan was furious, "This is a major violation of discipline, even Jiaojiao, you can't rely on the love of the saint to mess with the law and discipline!" ”
Qin Wan rolled her eyes.
These words are really righteous words, righteous and annihilated.
Qin Ruizhuo is used to being arrogant, "Today, I want to see who dares to touch my mother!" Bai Mu, when I went to my grandfather, I said that my mother and Jiaojiao were bullied! ”
