Zhao Xibao knew the thoughts of the old village owner, and he wanted to give up his adopted daughter Wangshu and try his best to ensure that Wu could fulfill his loyalty. Zhao Xibao's gentle smile didn't reach the bottom of his eyes, the old village owner wanted to take care of everything alone, so that Wu Neng could get away with it, wishful thinking! If you want to get away with it, it depends on whether she agrees or not!

The anger in Zhao Xibao's heart gradually rose, but she had to deal with it calmly. The old owner of the village is a stubborn stone that does not enter oil and salt, and she prefers to nail a hole with an iron awl. The moment she lifted the tent of Wangshu, she had already changed into a pure and harmless kind appearance. Treat what kind of person you want, and use what kind of face.

She has observed Wangshu, a simple child, a typical girl with a rectum and a brain. She didn't want to scare the little girl with her crazy appearance, otherwise, how could she get words out of the little girl's mouth!

"Wangshu, I'm sorry, I tried my best and repeatedly persuaded your father, but he was unmoved and planned to bear all the blame alone." Zhao Xibao's regretful appearance moved Wangshu's heart. Lord Zhao is a good person, and when they are desperate, he is willing to believe in them and help them.

Although they were imprisoned on the outskirts of the city, Lord Zhao would send some clothes and food from time to time. Even when they were interrogated, they were not saddened. She knew that they were mountain bandits, rebels hated by the imperial court. In the script, the mountain bandits will be beheaded by the government. Even if they don't get beheaded, the fate of girls is particularly terrible. Now, they are living here, and Lord Zhao has made a lot of contributions.

"Lord Zhao, I hope you will be aware that my father is wronged, he is a good person, and he has never done anything to harm other people's lives. We never robbed poor people, and all we robbed were black-hearted rich dog officials in the city. Wangshu knelt and crawled to Zhao Xibao's feet, crying and complaining.

Zhao Xibao gently helped Wang Shu up, "I know, that's why I'm not worth it for your father!" Why not speak up, why not let others know the truth? If you say it, the Holy One will be forgiving, and if you know what your father has done, you will definitely be punished lightly, and maybe you will be commended for meritorious service. After all, are you punishing evil and promoting good? ”

Zhao Xibao constantly affirmed Wangshu's words, and firmly confirmed the fact that they were punishing evil and promoting good. The more dissatisfied and angry Wangshu became, the more she would say something she didn't know. "Wangshu, your cottage was established for a year or two, where did all the money you rob go. If you can help find the stolen goods, you will have done a great job. ”

Wangshu wiped the tears on his face, choked up and said: "Lord Zhao, I don't know where my father's treasure house is, I only know that part of the money robbed each time is placed in the cottage for the daily life of the cottage." Some of them were secretly sent to Dongzhou City. It's just that, Lord Zhao, I don't know how much is left now. ”

"Huh? How so? ”

"Because of the drought, we took in a lot of people. Our bread was bought by our father with the money. My father was a good man, and since he learned that the victims had been driven out, he began to expand the cottage. ”

Zhao Xibao patted Wangshu's hand to soothe her panic. "Don't be afraid, the body is not afraid of shadows. Good girl, do you remember when your father's rice was brought in? ”

Wang Shu began to recall seriously, "It seems to be the beginning of summer this year, because that day is my birthday, so I am very impressed." From that day on, my father went out early and returned late every day, bringing in truckloads of grain from time to time. My father had long said that this year's high temperatures were unusual, and it was necessary to stock up on food early. If it weren't for my father's precautions, there would have been food for the victims. It is difficult to buy good rice in Dongzhou City, and we are afraid that there will be no food to eat. ”

Zhao Xibao comforted Wangshu, "Don't worry, since I already know the reason, I will never let the good people be wronged." During this time, you are so good to stay here. Give me some time to investigate, Wangshu. ”

Wangshu nodded cryingly, "Lord Zhao, I believe you and wait for your good news." Before Zhao Xibao left, he turned around and asked Wangshu a question. Wangshu's face turned red all of a sudden. Zhao Xibao smiled heartily and left the tent.

"Little Peach, Xicheng, let's go back." Zhao Xibao led the horse, turned over and galloped, and couldn't wait to rush back to Dongzhou City. Zhao Xibao still has a lot of doubts in her heart that need to be confirmed, and now, she is used to discussing with Chu Qinzhi when she encounters problems that she doesn't understand.

When Zhao Xibao returned to the small courtyard, it was almost dusk, and on the stone table in the middle of the courtyard, a chic and elegant boy was holding a chess game and studying the chess game. Childe is really handsome, no wonder he was taken away.

The neckline and cuffs of the indigo robe are inlaid with silver silk and moire piping, and a wide brocade belt of cyan auspicious clouds is tied around the waist. His jet-black hair was tied up and he wore a small silver crown with jade inlaid on the top, and the white jade on the silver crown was crystal moist, setting off his black and smooth hair like satin.

The eyebrows are warm, the air is noble, and the handsome is like a fairy, and he is worthy of being the first beautiful man in the capital. The best-looking top brand in the capital is not as good as its own prince. The fair skin looks like it can be blown and broken, and it looks even more charming under the glow of the sunset, the long and dense eyelashes are like two small brushes, the black jade eyes exude a thick warmth, and the soft lips outline a half-moon-shaped arc.

"Madame, are you back?" Chu Qinzhi put down the scroll, got up and walked towards her, and took her hand and walked into the room. When Zhao Xibao saw Chu Qinzhi, somehow, his wandering heart had a sense of steadiness to settle down. Perhaps, this person can give her plenty of security. She didn't have to look back, knowing that he would stand behind her and support her unconditionally.

"Lord Wang, do you know where I went today?" Zhao Xibao unconsciously incarnated into a soft and cute little white rabbit in front of Chu Qinzhi, who was deeply Taoist. Chu Qinzhi hugged her slender waist, "Madam, I am willing to listen to my husband." Chu Qinzhi has always been used to her.

"I'm going to set up the news today, hehe, I know, that cottage must have a secret. It's just that there are still a lot of things I don't understand. ”

Chu Qinzhi brought her to the table, and Zhao Xibao was stunned, "Lord Wang, how do you know that I will come back at this time?" ”

"Want to know? What reward does the husband tell you? Chu Qinzhi served her a bowl of pigeon swallowing swallow soup.

Zhao Xibao chirped, Chu Qinzhi patted her hand for stealing food, and said helplessly, "I know that if you play a trick, drink a bowl of soup first." ”

She smelled the aroma of the soup, the stew was just right, and the pigeon swallow swallow was known as "the first soup in the world". It is made by first removing the bones and flesh of about four or five taels of suckling pigeon, then stuffing the selected official bird's nest into the pigeon's belly, and then putting it into the secret broth and simmering it for eight hours, so that the fresh fragrance of the pigeon and the fragrance of the bird's nest are blended into the soup. You can sprinkle parsley grains into the soup first, then take out the bird's nest and dip it in the broth to taste it before eating.

"Lord, tell me, you have pinched the time accurately." Zhao Xibao flashed with a deer-like innocent eyes, and Chu Qinzhi fed her a mouthful of crab roe mushrooms and teased her slowly. "The old village owner is a loyal and righteous person, no matter how much you coerce and lure him, you will not say a word that is not conducive to Wu Neng. In this case, if you think about it, your breakthrough point can only be Wangshu. ”

Zhao Xibao nodded and motioned for Chu Qinzhi to continue.

"The old owner is not a stupid person, he knows that if one day, the matter is exposed, he will be guilty. Therefore, in order to protect Wangshu, many details will not be known to Wangshu. Since Wangshu doesn't know much, then only one hour of interrogation is enough. If you don't get the answer you want, you might as well go back to the city and look for clues. Chu Qinzhi pointed to her stomach by the way. By the time your interrogation comes out, you'll be hungry. According to the speed of the wind and the distance from the camp on the outskirts of the city to the courtyard, you can know when you will return home with a little calculation. ”

Zhao Xibao really wanted to put down the dishes and chopsticks, and clapped his hands, it was too powerful. Compared with Chu Qinzhi, her combat effectiveness is a scum. If you want to win over Chu Qinzhi, you should be reincarnated in the next life. Meticulous logic, insightful calculations, and considerate care, if she used to start with her appearance, now she is trapped in her amazing talent.

Zhao Xibao always felt that something was wrong, and after a while, how could he feel that he had more evidence than he imagined. Just like just now, when she told him what Wangshu said, he was not surprised at all, and even felt that he already knew the answer to the mystery, and now he was guiding her to decipher it step by step. Probably not, he's not going to be that strong.

However, Zhao Xibao did have some doubts, "Lord Wang, Wangshu said that the old village owner bought grain with silver, and it was transported by car. I have secretly checked the warehouses of the major rice shops. ”

"Madame will also be a gentleman on the beam?"

"No, that, knowing each other and knowing oneself can win all battles. If I don't find out the inventory of the major rice banks in advance, how can I be sure to negotiate the price of rice with them. At the beginning, in order to find out the situation of the rice market, he also sent a porter to go undercover in the major rice shops to understand the delivery situation of the rice store in the past six months. However, one thing that makes me very strange is that Wangshu said that the grain in the cottage was purchased from the major rice stores with silver, but according to the entry and exit records of the major rice stores, due to the severe drought in the past six months, the market was sluggish, and there was no large amount of grain shipped out. Zhao Xibao was puzzled.

Chu Qinzhi reminded her, "Since the grain is not from the rice shop, will it be collected from the farmers?" Zhao Xibao shook his head, "Impossible, the drought is serious, and farmers who have grain will only keep it for food, how can they sell it." Even if you want to exchange money, it won't be a car. ”

Zhao Xibao was thinking that grain was not sold by rice shops, nor was it purchased from farmers, let alone harvested in the fields. If the drought is like that, is it possible that the sun only shines in other homes, not others!

Zhao Xibao began to wonder if the news of Mi Xing was wrong, or which Mi Xing they hooked up with? Wrong wrong. Chu Qinzhi watched her meditate hard, and added, "I have checked the registration records of materials entering and exiting the city gate, and there is no record of food leaving the city. ”

Zhao Xibao was stunned when he heard this, and at the same time he couldn't believe it at all, could it be? God, why do you want to do this, you are impatient?
