Chapter 304: Quick Response
Jiang Wanning changed her clothes and went to see the accessories of the Yunshang Embroidery Workshop.
I have to say that Li Yuanniang is good at doing business, and the shop also sells accessories, gold, silver, jade beads, all kinds of gemstones, everything.
Jiang Wanning took a fancy to a piece of turquoise Pei Cui, held it in her hand and looked left and right, and couldn't put it down.
"This jade is very flattering to my lotus dress."
"The county lord's vision is really good, Pei Cui in my shop has the best texture, this jade looks extravagant but not public, not only lining the county lord's new clothes, but also lining the county lord's fair skin." Li Yuanniang spoke softly and gently, obviously a compliment, but she said a very sincere meaning, which was natural and comfortable.
Jiang Wanning deliberately put the jade next to her face: "Really? ”
"Well, it's beautiful." Li Yuanniang nodded.
"Then I want this jadeite, how much does it cost."
Jiang Wanning said, pretending that her hand was slipping, and the jade fell.
The embroidery girl holding the tray changed her face and exclaimed: "Ah, ......"
However, the expected cracking sound did not sound, and the jade was caught by Li Yuanniang.
Jiang Wanning said in her heart: What a quick reaction.
"Ah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, my hand slipped, fortunately Yuanniang, you caught it, it scared me to death." Jiang Wanning patted her heart, feeling happy.
Li Yuanniang smiled and handed the jade to the embroiderer on the side.
"The material of this jadeite is rare, and it would be a pity to break it. The county lord is patronizing my business for the first time, I give the county lord a discount, the original price is three hundred and sixty taels, how about I give the county lord three hundred taels? ”
Jiang Wanning said: "Thank you so much, if you go to my brother's Jiang Ji Silk Village to buy in the future, I will also give you the best price." ”
"That's good, Jiang Ji's pearlescent yarn is very popular, and many guests have brought their own pearlescent yarn to customize clothes, and I am planning to talk to you Jiang Ji and cooperate."
"No problem, I'll talk to my brother when I get back."
The two talked happily, and when Jiang Wanning left, Li Yuanniang also gave her a pair of jade earrings.
Waiting for Jiang Wanning to leave, the smile on Li Yuanniang's face disappeared.
This county lord is the person that the concubine should pay attention to, and it is good to deal with him more in the future, so you can learn more about this person.
It's just that she subconsciously caught the piece of jade just now, which is very undeserved.
But Jiang Wanning shouldn't have thought that she had martial arts.
Jiang Wanning left the Yunshang Embroidery Workshop and went straight to Dali Temple.
Xing Feng said: "Mrs. Jiang came by coincidence, my family has just returned from the palace. ”
Jiang Wanning saw a bowl of millet porridge and a plate of side dishes on the tray in Xing Feng's hand, and asked, "Your adults are having lunch?" ”
It's still early for lunch!
"Hey, there was a death case early in the morning, and the adults didn't have time to eat breakfast, so I got some food to pad the stomachs of the adults."
"Another homicide?" Jiang Wanning knew that a murder case that was not very serious would not be handed over to Gu Zhou.
"Lord Huang from the Ministry of Industry was shot dead last night." Xing Feng stretched out one hand and made a motion to wipe his neck: "One arrow to seal the throat." ”
Jiang Wanning was surprised, Lord Huang, the waiter of the Ministry of Works, was killed?
Why were important officials of the court killed at this juncture?
Jiang Wanning went to the duty room, and Gu Zhouzhu was looking at the investigation file brought back by his subordinates.
Seeing Jiang Wanning, Gu Zhou parked the file and said slightly: "You're here!" ”
Jiang Wanning put the millet porridge and side dishes in front of him: "When I meet Xing Feng, I will do it for you, you eat it while it's hot." ”
"Actually, I'm not hungry either, I ate a few pieces of pea yellow from Baicuilou in the morning."
Jiang Wanning did what she said, and asked Baicuilou to send some pastries every day.
"Pastries can only be dealt with, and if you eat too much, you will be tired of it, and if you drink some warm millet porridge, your stomach will be comfortable."
Gu Zhou stopped and followed the good flow: "Okay, I'll drink." ”
Gu Zhou stopped stirring millet porridge slowly, looked at Jiang Wanning's eyes and kept looking at the file, and said with a smile: "You can see it if you want to, maybe you can see something and help me sort out my thoughts." ”
Jiang Wanning was not polite, and picked up the file to look through it carefully.
Gu Zhou stopped here to eat, and Jiang Wanning also finished reading the file.
"What did you find?"
Jiang Wanning said: "Have you ever been to Yongshou Palace?" I mean today. ”
"Well, I went around, and I'm still renovating, and I can't see anything in the mess."
Jiang Wanning pondered: "I'm thinking about the motive for killing, one, either there is some mystery in Yongshou Palace, after all, at this point in time, it is very mysterious that termites appear in Yongshou Palace to be renovated, maybe Lord Huang has discovered something, this problem is so serious that he wants to kill people." Second, Lord Huang died innocently, so that you can't spare your hands to pay attention to other things, after all, the squire of the Ministry of Works was killed, and the case will definitely be handed over to you. ”
Gu Zhou stopped thinking deeply: "You and I want to go together." The one who shot Lord Huang was a master with a bow and crossbow, in the dark, across the flower wall and the ancestral hall, at a distance of seventeen zhang, an arrow hit Lord Huang's throat, making him unable to make a sound, and died in an instant, and this person was very confident in his archery skills, and he shot and left. ”
"I have asked Zheng Guan to take the arrow to the ordnance supervisor to inquire, and there should be a result soon."
Jiang Wanning said: "This person must have stepped on it before." ”
"The path outside the flower wall is rarely passed, and no one will notice, but I have asked people to transfer the roster of all the people who went to the Ministry of Industry for nearly a month to see if I can find suspicious people."
Jiang Wanning nodded: "If you need anything, just say it." ”
"By the way, I went to the Yunshang Embroidery Workshop just now and met Li Yuanniang."
Gu Zhou stopped and raised his eyebrows: "What did you find?" ”
"I suspect that the woman who went to Prince Suhe's mansion that night was Li Yuanniang, she used plum fragrance, although the aroma is very light, maybe she used it yesterday, but I still smell it."
Gu Zhou stopped and groaned: "This possibility is not impossible, there is news from Qi Yu's side, Li Yuanniang has often entered the palace to see Sun Guifei recently, and it is inconvenient for Sun Guifei to leave the palace, so it is more convenient to explain Li Yuanniang's actions." ”
"I also found that Li Yuanniang is good, I pretended to slip off the jade with my hand, and she actually caught it steadily, this kind of subconscious quick reaction, if it is not a person who practices martial arts, he can't do it."
"I have to inform Qi Yu as soon as possible about your discovery, so that they can be careful when staring at Li Yuanniang."
"Hey...... Thanks to Uncle Ning Huang's visit to Beijing, otherwise, the Yunshang Embroidery Workshop has been open in the capital for more than 20 years, who would have thought that it would be a stronghold in Dashu. ”
"Isn't it thanks to my brother, if it weren't for my brother and Shen Jingshan raising the price of medicine, and making Shen Jingshan's gambling house lose tens of thousands of taels of silver, Shen Jingshan would not have asked Uncle Ning for money, and Uncle Ning Huang would not have exposed Li Yuanniang." Jiang Wanning for Jiang Shi to show merit.
Gu Zhou stopped laughing and said: "Yes, yes, thanks to your brother, when I get rid of Dashu's intelligence network in the capital in one fell swoop, I will go and tell Qi Yu that I will make a great contribution to your brother." ”
Ask for credit for your eldest brother, you should.
