Chapter Seventy-One: The Details See the Adultery
For Zhang Zongbao, staying in Xiao Mansion is undoubtedly the best choice.
Now that the Xiao family has begun to take off, Zhang Zongbao, as the original shareholder, can maximize his interests here.
What's more, Zhang Zongbao does think that he does not have the ability to open a mansion alone.
He is like this, he has affection, but he has a brain, or he is not enough.
Zhang Zongbao's choice, Xiao Fan still respected, and he didn't want Zhang Zongbao to go.
Even if there is a master of Jiang Xing now, Xiao Fan trusts Zhang Zongbao the most, and even Yu Yourong is inferior.
In this regard, the brothers have come together from difficult years, and this friendship is difficult to shake.
Even if Zhang Zongbao is guilty of a capital crime now, Xiao Fan will have to save him.
After merging with the memory of the original owner, Xiao Fan is also changing, in his heart Zhang Zongbao is already a brother, not a tool man.
And Jiang Xing and the others are still just tool people, and they are not qualified to make Xiao Fan pay too much attention to them.
……
"Master, I'm back!"
After going out for three days, Jiang Xing can be regarded as back.
Xiao Fan scolded with a smile: "Zheng Lun has come to ask, saying that you want to go out of Lantai County, and ask me if I know." ”
Naturally, those who are enslaved will be disciplined more strictly.
If it weren't for Lin Xi's presence, it would be easy to do things, and Jiang Xing wouldn't even be able to get a road guide.
According to the usual practice, if a slave wants to leave the county, he must let his master's family know, and if he escapes from the government, he is also responsible for pursuing him.
Of course, after the pursuit is reached, if the main family still wants people, they will have to pay for it, after all, the people's yamen can't run in vain.
If the main family doesn't want people, the yamen will dispose of it.
It is usually put to death or directly punished with hard labor.
Jiang Xing was going out of the county, Xiao Fan didn't know, but Xiao Fan still believed him and asked Zheng Lun to let him go.
Jiang Xing's departure was two and a half days.
When he saw Jiang Xing again, his face was dusty, and his whole person was a little tanned again.
But men don't care about this, and the black spots are even more powerful.
"How's it going?" Xiao Fan said.
Led Jiang Xing to the courtyard, Qiu Die had insight and sent a pot of herbal tea.
Jiang Xing naturally didn't dare to work Xiao Fan, and poured a bowl of hard work by himself, and he was still not happy, so he drank three bowls in a row.
Xiao Fan smiled: "Drink less, you won't be able to eat lunch in a while." ”
"Hehe, sir, this time it's a reward!" Jiang Xing raised his eyebrows proudly.
Xiao Fan looked at him.
Look at him.
"You mean?" Xiao Fan glared, "What about selling your uncle's pass?" ”
"Don't be impatient, sir, I'm not thinking about where to start." Jiang Xing smiled.
Then, he gave up and organized the way the story was told, taking the order in which the clues were found.
"Master, I went to Chunfeng Building first, and asked an old mother about Cuihong, and her mother knew her. In the early years, I heard Cuihong's mother say that the two of them were from the next county. ”
"Qingyan County next door?" Xiao Fan said.
Jiang Xing nodded: "I went to Qingyan County, where there is only one brothel, called Yixiangyuan." ”
"I inquired about ...... more than 20 years ago"
Listening to these clues, Xiao Fan quickly connected them in his mind.
In this way, Cui Hong did not deceive herself and win sympathy.
Since it's all true, there's nothing suspicious, and the woman can try to believe it.
Just as Xiao Fan was about to leave, he was pulled by Jiang Xing.
"Master, I'm not done yet!"
"Huh?"
Xiao Fan: "Isn't this over?" ”
"No, there's a point!"
"Can you get to the point?" Xiao Fan glanced at Jiang Xing fiercely.
Jiang Xing smiled:
"I found out that Li Qingshan went back to find Cuihong's mother, and knelt down to the owner of the brothel, and then told others that it was sold to Lantai County. I just didn't say the details......"
"How can you find out such a thing, decades ago?" Xiao Fan was surprised.
Jiang Xing smiled: "Master, you don't understand this, this kind of affectionate and righteous man is too rare among prostitutes, and everyone is already known within a certain range." ”
"Over the years, it's also a good story."
"Oh, no wonder." Xiao Fan expressed understanding.
Of course, this kind of affectionate and righteous thing should be widely publicized.
What's more, the person concerned is Li Qingshan, such a famous figure in the merchant circle near Gyeonggi, which has to be even more widely spread.
I can't wait to write a review about him for three days and three nights.
This is the traffic password of this year!
"In this way, Li Qingshan cares about that Qingqi'er very much, so why does he treat her daughter like this?"
Xiao Fan said he didn't understand: "Unless it's not biological." ”
This probability is not impossible, of course, it is still rare in these years, Xiao Fan feels that he still can't look at people like this.
"Li Qingshan definitely cares about his daughter, how can you say that he is willing to give it up, sir, I don't understand!" Jiang Xing said that this thing is a little weird.
It stands to reason that the daughter born to such a beloved woman, even if there are many obstacles, should be treated kindly.
With Li Qingshan's current energy, how could he let Cuihong still stay in Chunfeng Tower?
I can't figure it out, it's really hard to figure it out.
"Sir!"
Just when the master and servant were puzzled, Zhang Qiao, who went out to buy vegetables, came back.
She took out a red post from the vegetable basket, ran into the house and handed it to Xiao Fan.
Xiao Fan stood up, reached out to pick it up, and asked at the same time, "What is this?" ”
"The people from Qingshan Yaxing gave it to me, so I must hand it over to the master." Zhang Qiaodao.
After receiving the post, he glanced at the invitation, Xiao Fan waved his hand to Zhang Qiao: "Get busy." ”
"Yes." Zhang Qiao happily grabbed Qiu Die, who was doing nothing, and went into the kitchen together.
Open the invitation.
At a glance, I saw a few big words.
is to invite Xiao Fan to drink, the venue is Chunfeng Building.
Xiao Fan's brows tightened, not knowing what he meant.
Jiang Xing joked: "Master, is this a Hongmen banquet or a peach blossom banquet?" ”
"Go, go, go." Xiao Fan rolled his eyes.
"Go and call the second master to come with me." Xiao Fan thought about it and decided to go to the banquet.
Jiang Xing pursed his lips and said, "Master, will I accompany you?" ”
Xiao Fan looked at him expectantly and smiled.
patted Jiang Xing's shoulder, pulled him to the corner, and asked with a smile:
"In the past few days, have you just been to the next county?"
"Uh......" Jiang Xing hesitated for a moment and said, "Master, I didn't delay anything, did I?" ”
Lao Tzu knew that there was a clear main line and clues to investigate this little thing, and where could it be used for three days.
"Will the lover go?" Xiao Fan narrowed his eyes, "Qiu Die knows, she will be sad, right?" ”
"What?" Jiang Xing glared, as if he had been stepped on by his tail, and hurriedly said, "What, what's there...... What nonsense are you talking about, sir, me and Miss Autumn Butterfly, it's nothing, right? ”
"Nothing?"
Xiao Fan glanced at Jiang Xing with contempt and pointed to the teapot that Qiu Die took out on the table in the courtyard.
"The tea in that teapot is cold."
Xiao Fan sneered: "Madam doesn't drink cold tea, I don't drink tea, and the second master doesn't drink tea...... You say, "For whom is this herbal tea prepared?" ”
"This ......" Jiang Xing was stunned, just now he just drank happily, and he really hadn't thought about such a detailed thing.
In an instant, Jiang Xing glanced towards the kitchen and saw Qiu Die, who was helping the kitchen, quietly staring at him.
Knowing that he couldn't hide it, Jiang Xingcai coughed:
"Master, I'm going to take revenge, not to meet a lover, I don't have a lover, really!"
He smiled well-behaved, and he really looked like an honest man.
Xiao Fan joked: "I went to Yixiangyuan, didn't take the opportunity to have fun?" ”
"How dare you?" Jiang Xing is serious.
Xiao Fan squinted: "Yo, you're still a good person?" ”
"It's too expensive, it's reluctant."
Xiao Fan: "......"
Jiang Xing took out a money bag: "This is all leftover, I didn't dare to spend more, master, I just ate at a street stall, I didn't dare to enter the restaurant!" ”
Xiao Fan took it and weighed it, and gave him more than a hundred taels, and there were seventy or eighty taels left.
It seems that he really doesn't support Jiang Xing to play with the wind and snow.
Xiao Fan patted Jiang Xing's shoulder and said with a smile: "Do you know, how did I see that you have a problem with Qiu Die?" ”
"How do you see that?" Jiang Xing really wanted to know.
"Sure enough, there is a problem!" Xiao Fan narrowed his eyes.
Jiang Xing was stunned.
"Master, you, are you lying to me!?"
Jiang Xing bared his teeth with anger.
Xiao Fan smiled: "Qiu Die was boiling tea early in the morning, and she deliberately took a pot to dry, and it has been like this for the past few days." ”
"Just waiting for you to come back, so that I can quench my thirst with a sip of herbal tea at any time, tsk...... What a sweet girl! Don't let her down, or I'll make you look good, sir! ”
"Uh......"
Jiang Xing was overjoyed: "Master, don't you object?" ”
