Han Changmu nodded with a gloomy expression.

What she said was cryptic, but he understood the meaning. What this person did was indeed disgraceful.

Even though he has a cold and distant temperament, even though he is the most ruthless in the eyes of others, his bottom line and moral principles have not diminished at all.

Chen Gui is indeed worthy of discussion and consideration.

There was no trace of emotion on his face, and he did not continue Yao Yao's words. Instead, he said calmly: "According to Helian Guangbo, they are coming to Suzhou City to find someone. You should pay attention to their whereabouts in the past few days. "

Yao Yao smiled and nodded, then suddenly frowned and said hesitantly: "Master, Helian Guangbo, Helian Wenyuan, these names sound so similar to the two brothers."

Han Changmu didn't notice it at first, but after Yao Yao mentioned it, his eyebrows widened and he smiled faintly: "Let's wait for the news from Wang Xian tomorrow."

It was really boring to sit and talk, so Yao Yao took out another bag of amber peach kernels and said while eating: "Sir, did you really say that Helian Guangbo killed those garrison soldiers in Baima Garrison? Can he still do it? There are accomplices.”

Han Changmu was silent. The difference between twenty garrison troops and one person sounded shocking. However, if one side was unprepared and the other side could sneak attack, it would not be impossible to defeat more with less.

Moreover, judging from the reactions of Helian Guangbo and others that day, it was indeed him who did this, but it was hard to say whether there were other helpers.

He took a sip of warm water. The water here had a bit of astringent taste and was not very tasty. Seeing that Yao Yao was eating so deliciously, he reached into the paper bag and took out a piece of amber peach kernel without even thinking about it. , threw it into his mouth and nodded: "It smells good."

Yao Yao was stunned.

Where has the cold and domineering president gone?

She had a bad intention and said with a smile: "Sir, this amber peach kernel was also paid for by Gu Chen."

Han Changmu didn't seem to hear this and didn't react. Instead, he reached out and grabbed a handful.

Well, it’s something that costs nothing and tastes delicious.

Yao Yao couldn't stand it anymore.

Such dried fruit snacks were rare in the Hexi area. This bag of amber peach kernels was so expensive that she was reluctant to buy it, and she could only trick a wealthy man like Gu Chen who kept it secret.

But Han Changmu caught more than half of them, which showed that he was a freeloader.

She calmly held the paper bag in her arms, and was about to leave with a smile, and go back to her room to eat slowly.

Who would have thought that before he even said his resignation, Han Changmu sighed with deep meaning: "Gu Chen is really willing to buy you so much food."

These words sounded sour. Yao Yao hugged Amber Peach Kernel and said with a smile: "One of the great joys in life is meeting old friends in a foreign country. We have been friends for many years, so eating and drinking is nothing."

Han Changmu raised his eyebrows and let Yao Yao go back with a mild oh.

After a silent night, Yao Yao slept on the cool bed with one more quilt than the others, and he slept warmly.

Wang Xian was very diligent in his official duties, coming and going in a hurry. He only had a few bites of breakfast the next day, and he didn't even show his face for lunch.

After Han Changmu finished his lunch, Wang Xian had already found out everything about Helian Wenyuan, hurried back, and stood by the dining table with his hands tied, waiting for him to speak.

Han Changmu nodded at the bed opposite and said, "Sit down and talk."

Wang Xianying claimed so.

Han Changmu took a sip of tea and asked calmly: "How is it? I have found out everything about Helian Wenyuanna."

Wang Xianggong replied respectfully: "Yes, sir, Helian Wenyuan was born in the Bailanqiang tribe. He moved to Suzhou City ten years ago and made a living as a horse guide. He is the only one on the household registration and has no other relatives. ."

Han Changmu showed a sure look on his face, nodded, and motioned for Wang Xian to continue.

Wang Xian continued to speak kindly: "Replying to your lord, I found Helian Wenyuan in a place called Rouge Lane. Today, I went there again and inquired carefully, and then I found out that Helian Wenyuan was in Rouge Lane. There is a sweetheart in Rouge Lane, called Miss Hui, and Helian Wenyuan has been saving money to redeem him, but Miss Hui is the number one in Rouge Lane, and the owner's price is quite high."

Miss Hui, Yao Yao had been listening quietly without making a sound. When she heard the three words Miss Hui, she suddenly raised her head, her eyes trembling. Meng Lan's sister, who seemed to be named Meng Hui, was sold to Suzhou City. Could this Hui girl be her?

When she raised her eyes, she saw Han Changmu looking at her thoughtfully. She calmed down and thought carefully: "Master, Meng Lan's sister is called Meng Hui, and she was sold to Suzhou City."

Han Changmu nodded in approval: "Not bad."

Gu Chen and others looked confused, not knowing what Han Changmu and Yao Yao were talking about.

Han Changmu asked Wang Xian again: "Can you see Miss Hui?"

Wang Xian mourned for a moment his ten taels of silver. Ten taels of silver was enough for him to save for two years, and then he reluctantly nodded: "Yes, I have seen him before. He looks about seventeen or eighteen years old, has a very bright appearance, and is healthy." There are many things that are not as good as the ones in the shop."

When Han Changmu heard this, he hesitated a little. Meng Lan was pretty at best. If this girl Hui was really her sister, would there be such a big difference in appearance between the two sisters?

He turned slightly sideways and said to Yao Yao, "It depends on you."

Yao Yao recalled Meng Lan's appearance and frowned slightly: "Although Meng Lan's appearance is not as good as that of Miss Hui, bloodline cannot be determined by appearance alone." She recalled an incident where Gu Chen once sought justice for someone. , turned to look at him and smiled: "I remember Gu Shenxian once settled a family matter, that's it."

Gu Chen wrinkled the tip of his nose, he didn't want to answer Han Changmu's questions, but Yao Yao's call to God made him really happy, so he didn't look at Han Changmu, only looked at Yao Yao, and reluctantly spoke. : "Yes, it happened twenty years ago. I only mentioned it occasionally, but you still remember it. There was a family in Yiyangfang. The wife of the wife gave birth to a pair of twins. One was fair and handsome, and the other One of them had a face as black as coal, and the concubine used this as evidence to say that the blood of the two sons was doubtful, but in fact, the two sons were both the biological sons of the master."

An idea flashed in Yao Yao's heart, he grabbed Gu Chen's hand and said eagerly: "Lao Gu, what's the name of that family?"

Gu Chen sighed. When he makes people happy, he calls them Gu Shenxian. When he doesn't take people seriously, he calls them Lao Gu. Ah Yao has such a mouth.

Han Changmu's eyes dropped, feeling that Yao Yao's hand was grabbing Gu Chen's hand, which was very dazzling.

He opened his eyes and coughed slightly.

Yao Yao didn't notice anything unusual at all. He still held Gu Chen's hand and said eagerly: "Lao Gu, that incident was your masterpiece. You didn't even forget your master's surname."

Gu Chen narrowed his eyes: "Let me think about it." He smiled instantly: "The surname is Bao, yes, the surname is Bao. My ancestor also had a post as the official of Dali Temple, but later his nephew was unfilial and gradually fell into decline."

Yao Yao finally understood where the loophole was on the ship. The imperial doctor ordered Han Zengshou's house to be in Yiyangfang, which was a neighbor of the Bao family. Bao Cheng was the legitimate son of the Bao family. He couldn't tell when , I have seen the real Han Jiuchao.

Han Changmu also understood and said calmly: "Is it Bao Cheng?"

Yao Yao slowly let go of Gu Chen's hand and nodded slightly: "It should be him. He should have seen the real Han Jiuchao, but why didn't he expose us? Not only did he not expose us, but he helped us several times."

Han Changmu rubbed his cup and remained silent for a long time.

Showing courtesy for nothing is a traitor or a thief, so you have to be on guard.

Han Changmu didn't speak for a long time, but without delay, Gu Chen and others gathered around Yao Yao and bit their ears.

"A Yao, have you seen anyone from the Bao family on the road? Is it that handsome young man, or that black charcoal."

"Yao Canjun, what are you and the adults talking about, about Bao Cheng, and about Han Jiuchao."

"Yao Yao, what happened to you along the way?"

Several people were talking so much that Yao Yao had a headache, and he didn't know where to start.

Han Changmu coughed heavily, frightened several people back to their senses, and then said with a serious expression: "One more thing, I came out this time as Han Jiuchao, the eldest son of Han Zengshou, the imperial physician of the Imperial Medical Department. You will call me Young Master in the future. , don’t call me sir again, don’t call me by the wrong name.”

Several people said yes.

He took a deep look at Yao Yao, then looked at Wang Xian and said, "How much is the price offered by the master?"

Wang Xian was stunned for a moment, then stretched out a palm and shook it with a pained expression: "The price is five thousand taels, and Miss Hui can't take any of her jewelry, clothes, or money with her."

Hearing this, several people were stunned and looked at each other.

What kind of stunning woman does this have to be to be able to offer five thousand taels of redemption money? At the beginning of this year, the stunning woman in Pingkangfang redeemed herself for only three thousand taels.

Five thousand taels is enough to buy a good big house in the big houses in Chang'an City, and it is enough to buy a complete dowry for a girl.

Isn't it crazy to use five thousand taels to buy a top-notch girl who will grow old and lose her beauty sooner or later?

Han Changmu lowered his head and thought for a moment, took out a stack of silver notes from his sleeve, took off the pouch from his waist, put it on the food table, and said slowly: "Wang Xian, these are five thousand taels of silver notes. You and Gu Chen will do it later." Together, buy Miss Hui, tell the story, and wait for Helian Wenyuan to come." He pointed to the pouch: "Here are thirty taels. You can go see Miss Hui today for the money."

Yao Yao stared at the pile of banknotes with eyes wide open.

This is a member of a noble family. He is generous in his dealings. He took out the five thousand taels of silver without even blinking an eye.

Wang Xian looked at the banknotes and the bag, swallowed, collected the banknotes, and took out only ten taels of silver from the bag. He pushed the rest to Han Changmu's hand and smiled: "Master, I'm going to see Hui today." Girl, it only cost ten taels of silver."

Han Changmu had a deeper understanding of Wang Xian's honesty and honesty, and calmly pushed the money back: "In a place like Rouge Lane, you can only do things if you have money. You use the money first. After redeeming Miss Hui, if there is any left, If you give it to me again, if it’s not enough, come back to me to pay for it.”
