Xia Qingli was right when he thought about it, so he didn't think about it anymore: "Anyi, you continue to stare at the Zhu family, and by the way, you keep an eye on Hewang." I'm curious about Hewang...... What do you see me doing? ”

She looked at Gu Jinghan puzzled, "You look at my eyes very wrong, if you have anything to say, just say it." ”

Gu Jinghan said indifferently, "I don't have anything to say." ”

"Miss Xia, what do you mean, why are you curious about any man?" Comfort acts as a translator.

A row of question marks slowly popped up on Xia Qingli's head, "Where am I curious about any man?" Anyi, is there something wrong with your master? I don't think he's been quite right lately. ”

An Yixin said that this is lovesickness, but unfortunately Miss Xia doesn't understand, "Miss Xia, it's normal, I just need you to care more." ”

Xia Qingli pointed at Gu Jinghan and then at himself, his tone was slightly high, "How much do I care about him?!" You're saying the other way around, right? It's me who should be cared for! ”

Lan Lingling, who couldn't stand it, coughed lightly, "Miss Xia, have you thought about the dissolution of the marriage contract?" If my family helps, I will definitely be able to break the marriage contract. ”

Xia Qingli looked at her with a smile, "I wish the Lan family could help with this." It's just, for no reason, the Lan family helped me with this, how embarrassed I am. ”

She and the Lan family have known each other, but the Lan family wants to help her dissolve the marriage contract, how wrong is this.

Lan Lingling explained, "It's not for nothing, Miss Xia saved my life, and my family has always wanted to repay me." Before, my family didn't think it was a repayment, and I wanted to really help you once. ”

If it weren't for Miss Xia that time, she would not only lose her innocence, but also die.

Xia Qingli didn't think it was much of a kindness, "The Lan family has already repaid it, and there is no need to repay it." Besides, I didn't save you that time, I just didn't want Gu Xi's conspiracy to succeed. ”

Lan Lingling nodded, "No matter what the reason for Miss Xia, at least I'm saved, aren't I?" ”

Xia Qingli had a feeling that the Lan family had to repay their kindness according to their wishes, she held her forehead, how could anyone have to repay her kindness like this?

"You might as well follow the Lan family's wishes."

Hearing Gu Jinghan's words, Xia Qingli glanced at him, "Are you willing to take care of me?" Second Master Gu! ”

Gu Erye didn't open his eyes to look at her, "I don't care about you, you're not happy?" ”

Xia Qingli once again felt that this Second Master Gu was really born with the wrong gender, he should be a hypocritical girl, look at the current hypocrisy.

"Without your second master's consent, where do I dare to be happy, am I not afraid of being frozen to death by your cold knife eyes?"

Gu Jinghan was quite satisfied with her answer, his thin lips hooked slightly, "You know each other!" ”

Xia Qingli covered her face, what kind of sin did she create, why did she put such an ancestor?

"Miss Xia, do you want to accept my family's help?" Lan Lingling's heart was sour and uncomfortable, what was more painful than seeing someone she liked with her own eyes and coaxing other girls?

Xia Qingli snorted, "Then it's troublesome Miss Lan." ”

Lan Lingling waved her hand and said that it was not troublesome, "My family has to thank Miss Xia for the opportunity to repay my family's kindness." ”

As the saying goes, the hardest thing to repay is kindness. If it were someone else, I was afraid that it would be indispensable to use this kindness to make a fuss, but fortunately, Miss Xia was not that kind of person.

Xia Qingli, "...... The Lan family is too polite. ”

"Master, I've found Master Tao!" At this time, a secret guard fell in front of Gu Jinghan and said.

Gu Jinghan and Xia Qingli glanced at each other, they could be regarded as finding Master Tao!

"I won't bother, farewell." Seeing this, Lan Lingling didn't want to leave, so he had to leave.

By her cousin's side, there has never been her place, it has always been her fantasy and luxury.

Xia Qingli asked the maid to send Lan Lingling out, and she turned her head sideways and teased Gu Jinghan, "Second Master Gu, such a good girl, you really don't want it?" ”

Gu Jinghan said coolly, "Xia Qingli, are you itching?" ”

Xia Qingli raised his hands to make a surrender form, Gu Jinghan is really a big lady who needs to be pampered, look at his temper, listen to what he said, there is no difference from the big lady Jiaojiao.

"Shall we go see Master Tao now?"

Gu Jinghan also meant this, he and Xia Qingli came to the place where Master Tao was held.

It is the backyard of a shop under Gu Jinghan's name.

Xia Qingli was a little puzzled: "How do you lock people up here?" ”

The secret guard explained, "The subordinates found Master Tao in a rice grain shop, and because the situation was complicated, they sent him back by transporting the goods, so they were locked up here. ”

Xia Qingli suddenly sighed, "Second Master Gu, your subordinates are very capable." ”

Gu Jinghan squinted at her, "Don't beat the ideas of my subordinates." ”

Xia Qingli sighed, "Listen to what you said, where did I beat your subordinates' ideas." Besides, I really want to make up my mind, and I also want to beat you, the master, and what to do with the idea of your subordinates. ”

"As the saying goes, the thief captures the king first!"

Gu Jinghan raised his eyebrows, "You can speak." ”

Xia Qingli spread her hands and shook her head, she sighed, she is really a delicate lady who needs to be coaxed.

The two came to one of the wings in the backyard and met Master Tao.

Old Man Tao looked haggard, the whole person was thin and panicked, and the slightest movement could frighten him to shrink in the corner. Moreover, he was dressed as an ordinary person, not at all like a wealthy businessman.

Xia Qingli pointed at him and asked the dark guard, "What's the matter?" ”

The Dark Guard, "It seems that it has been hiding for days and days, and it has become like this. He has been hiding in Tibet these days, buying everything by himself, and he doesn't dare to go out to eat for fear of being discovered. ”

Xia Qingli touched his chin and walked in front of Master Tao: "Master Tao, who wants to hunt you down?" Is it the Zhu family or the person who helped the Zhu family? ”

I don't know if it was the name she said that stimulated Master Tao, he held his head and screamed, "Don't kill me, don't kill me!" ”

Xia Qingli narrowed his eyes and stretched out his hand to check his pulse, "I'm not crazy." Master Tao, you pretend to be very similar, but your pulse tells me that you are not crazy. Or, I can help you become a madman. ”

Seeing that Master Tao was exposed, he simply stopped pretending to be crazy, and he said uneasily, "Who are the two of you?" What is the relationship with Mrs. Xia? ”

Xia Qingli introduced her and Gu Jinghan's identities, "Master Tao, the Zhu family is no longer Mrs. Xia, she was demoted to a concubine by Xia Xuesong, and now she lives in Hewangfu. ”

"I hope you can be honest with what you know, otherwise you will know the consequences."

When Master Tao heard this, his face changed a few times, "It turns out that you are Xia Qingli." Now, I understand a little bit why Xia ...... Why is Aunt Zhu so afraid of you? ”

He has been a tea merchant for many years, has seen countless people of all kinds, and has also seen many high-ranking officials and nobles, and has dealt with countless troubles and dangers, and he can see at a glance that the woman in front of him is a cruel and not simple person.

Xia Qingli moved a chair to sit, she leaned on the back of the chair with her legs folded, and looked down at him condescendingly, "You don't need to talk this nonsense, I want to know what you are doing for the Zhu family, and who is the man who has dealings with the Zhu family." ”

"I'll take your family to safety." Gu Jinghan made conditions.

Master Tao hesitated and struggled for a moment, then lowered his head, "I said!" Now in this situation, I have to talk about it if I don't talk about it, it's better to be honest and less tortured. ”

"Actually, I didn't help Aunt Zhu from the beginning, it was Aunt Zhu who took the initiative to find me. At that time, I was reluctant to help Aunt Zhu, which caused almost an accident in my family and several children, so I had to help her......"

Originally, he thought that Zhu was asking him to help with business or solve some things, but in fact, he was wrong. Zhu asked him to help launder money, use his accounts to launder money, and then turn the money into hers.

"Money laundering?!" Xia Qingli didn't expect this to be the case, she wondered, "The Zhu family has extremely rich assets, so it stands to reason that she doesn't need to launder money." Besides, there is nothing bad involved in her industry, so why should she launder money? ”

Master Tao smiled bitterly, "At the beginning, I thought about the same as you, and I didn't understand why Aunt Zhu did these things. It wasn't until a man wearing a hood came to me that I realized that Aunt Zhu was not helping her to launder money herself, but to help this man launder money. ”

Xia Qingli and Gu Jinghan exchanged a look, and Xia Qingli asked, "Who is that man?" ”

"I don't know." Master Tao said, "That man has been here a few times, and each time he wears a hat, he can't see his face clearly, and he deliberately suppresses his voice when he speaks, and he doesn't show any habits. ”

Xia Qingli pondered, "What industries does this man involve?" ”

Master Tao shook his head, "I don't know the specifics, I just know that there are some industries that can't be touched." I tried and almost got beaten to death by this man. Since then, I have not dared to ask or inquire. ”

An industry that can't be touched?

Xia Qingli and Gu Jinghan's first reaction was salt and minerals, and the two glanced at each other, thinking that they would investigate this in detail later.

Master Tao continued, every time he would take the opportunity to go out to watch tea, he would help Zhu deal with some things that she couldn't handle, and it would be more convenient for him to launder money. Normally, he does it in that house.

Until, when the Zhu family wanted to kill him, he had to hide.

"It seems that something happened to Aunt Zhu, and in order to prevent her secret from being exposed, she sent someone to kill me. That time, it was my luck that I went out drinking and asked the servant to help me deal with things, but the assassin took the servant for me and let me escape. ”

This is also the reason why he ran to Dahe County to hide, not daring to go home or find his family. He was afraid that as soon as he appeared, he would be killed by the Zhu family.

Gu Jinghan took a pen and paper and drew the appearance of the man wearing the hood according to Master Tao's description.

Xia Qingli leaned over to look at the portrait: "Judging from the portrait, he is a noble son, but it gives me the feeling of being above and above." ”

Gu Jinghan also felt this way, he handed the portrait to the secret guard, ordered the secret guard to investigate, and then said to Xia Qingli, "What are you going to do with Master Tao?" ”
