Chapter 272: Where's the Silver?
Qin Xun is just the daughter of the outer room who has not been recognized by the Qin family, and she is afraid of being implicated, so as the concubine of the Qin family's fourth room, the Liu family only has the reason to be even more afraid.
"What's the big appetite?" However, Ryu grasped the crux of the matter and asked.
"In this way, I won't hide it from you, I said it casually, you just heard it, out of this pavilion, I don't recognize half a word."
Liu's face became more and more solemn, and he nodded in agreement.
Qin Xun smiled and eased the atmosphere: "Sister-in-law, don't blame me for being so cautious, our family has no foundation, it can't be otherwise!" ”
"I know, I don't blame you!"
"Our hometown is a town, called Fushui Town." Qin Xun slowly started from the beginning: "There is an underground gambling house in Fushui Town, and many people in Fushui Town don't know about it, so this is extremely mysterious and hidden. It is impossible for ordinary people to do this kind of thing. ”
Liu listened quietly to Qin Xun's narration.
Later, a fire broke out in the town's gambling house, and it is said that someone had entered the fire.
This was nothing, because there were quite a lot of people fighting the fire at that time, and it was a mess, so what did it matter if one or two people went in?
Things are so wrong, the secret gambling house, plus the county government's errand guards are constantly looking for this person to go in, it seems a little too much.
And Lu Da was arrested and tortured to ask what he saw, which is even more bizarre and outrageous.
When Liu heard this, and Qin Coriander's expression was very vivid, she already had a faint uneasiness.
Later, Li Dongliang was able to get out of prison and leave Qijiang County and return to the capital, thanks to the help of Qin Xiongfei, Liu's father-in-law and Qin Xun's father.
Qin Xun made a special trip to Qijiang County to meet the county order, and Li Dongliang was sent away the next day.
Qin Xiongfei was talking about marriage with the Xie family at that time, and the matter of helping Li Dongliang can be attributed to the Xie family.
Qin Xun has no evidence, but it does not prevent her from combining the two things, and she also has a nose and eyes to tell the truth about things.
Anyway, true or false, Liu believed most of it.
Qin Xun didn't mention the account book, but said a guess: "At that time, the people in Fushui Town were privately discussing, where did the money in this gambling house go?" ”
The Liu family had long been hooked by Qin Xun's words, and also followed Qin Xun's words and asked rhetorically: "Yes, where did this silver go?" ”
Qin Xun looked at the Liu family and smiled meaningfully, and the Liu family also raised his eyebrows, and instantly understood that what Qin Xun was talking about was not silver, but the person behind the scenes.
"My father saw me privately before he died, and this fourth wife and Qin Yao know about it." In order to improve the credibility of the topic, Qin Xun appropriately brought up the fourth wife and Qin Yao.
"My father once hinted to me that the matter in Fushui Town is related to the Xie family in the capital."
Seeing that Qin Xun suddenly stopped talking, Liu Shi thought about it for herself, and then analyzed: "Do you mean, the Xie family is collecting money everywhere, or is it using such unseemly means?" ”
Qin Xun neither nodded, let alone shook his head, poured tea from Liu's and his own teacups, and took a sip to ease the dry mouth after talking too much.
Only then did he say slowly: "I think about it when I have nothing to do, we have also seen this Xie family, although the family is big, it is not very extravagant, and it is not much different from the average rich and noble family." But what I know is that in the rest of the counties under the jurisdiction of Dancheng, there are some underground gambling houses similar to Fushui Town, all of which rely on convenient transportation and more merchants. ”
Don't do the business of the locals, outsiders come to play and leave, winning or losing is not a break in the bones, and no one will stay to make trouble.
Even after leaving, when it comes to having a gambling house in Dancheng, outsiders don't care at all, where is there no gambling house?
At this time, Qin Xun said again: "But where did this silver go?" ”
The Liu family was reminded by Qin Xun, and also thought of this, where did the silver go?
Suddenly, her mind thought of the Du family like an enlightenment.
Just thinking of the Du family, the Liu family couldn't help but gasp.
Dancheng water and land transportation is very convenient, the geographical location is excellent, not too far from the capital, if the boat is smooth, it is only four or five days of schedule. If you take a dry road, don't drag your luggage and horse-drawn carriage, and ride a fast horse alone and work day and night, you can reach it in two days.
Therefore, Dancheng has always been a very optimistic place for people in the capital. The Zhang family, one of the four families in Dancheng, is the queen mother.
As for the rest, outsiders can't tell. At least the Qin family is obviously marrying the Xie family, in fact, they also want to show goodwill with the Du family and the Queen Mother.
Liu thought about it and couldn't figure it out, so he first put down many doubts in his heart and asked Qin Xun: "What does this have to do with Qin Yan?" ”
"Because, I recently heard a rumor that the old man of the Xie family has spent a lot of money recently, and I don't know where this money came from?" Qin Xun smiled, but there was not the slightest smile in his eyes.
"You mean, this Xie family has withheld the silver that should have belonged to the Du family?" The Liu clan finally understood what Qin Xun wanted to say today.
But before I thought about it, I felt that something was a big deal.
If the Xie family really dares to privately swallow the Du family's things, no matter how much, they are provoking the authority of the Du family, which is absolutely intolerable.
The Liu family is a girl who grew up in the capital, and she is still an official lady, how can she not know how powerful the Du family is in the capital? And the Du family's dominance today, not all rely on the relationship between the queen mother and the emperor, the head of the Du family is ruthless and scheming, and there are many outstanding people among the descendants of the Du family.
It's been a long time since anyone has done right with Du Jiaming, although there are more and more people who are dissatisfied with the Du family, but they are all doing some small things in private.
The Du family knows, but they can't catch the handle, if the Xie family's matter happens, then it will definitely become the Du family's use to kill chickens and monkeys and deter those who make small moves.
The more Liu thought about it, the more frightened she became, she opened her mouth, she still wanted to ask Qin Coriander about the source and whether it was reliable, but with a pair of Shang Qin Coward's smiling eyes, Liu couldn't help but swallow the question back into her stomach.
Qin Xun is not a well-meaning person, she will take the initiative to tell the Liu family about this, there must be her considerations, the Liu family knows, but she can't dwell on this, after all, once the Xie family is unlucky, the two of them will definitely be affected, this is undoubtedly a thing.
Liu stood up and said to Qin Xun: "Thank you sister for telling me this, I'll go back first, if your brother has any opinions, or needs to discuss with you, please help my sister for the sake of my sister-in-law!" ”
The Liu family inexplicably didn't want to offend Qin Coward, so he intended to befriend Qin Coward, and every time he came to Qin Co., Ltd., he brought novel and expensive gifts, which obviously took a lot of effort.
also found relatives and friends to buy things in Qin Coriander's incense shop, and was not afraid of outsiders' jokes, and directly and affectionately called Qin Coriander his sister, which opened the door for Qin Coriander to enter the social network in the capital.
Because of this, Qin Xun also had more patience and gratitude to the Liu family.
Of course, it doesn't matter how these people look down on Qin Xun in private, but they have to give some face, this face is not only the Liu family, but also the plaque hanging at the door, and the rumor that Qin Xun once went to Qifeng Villa.
For unfriendly people, Qin Coriander is also very capable of dealing with them, but for Liu's enthusiasm and kindness, Qin Coriander is actually a little cramped to deal with.
