Dazhou, Yi Jing
In the east city of Yijing, where land is at a premium, there is a main road called Houde Road. It was built by Liu Ning, the then prefect of Yijing, two years ago for the purpose of urban planning in Yijing and alleviating traffic problems in Yijing. And Houde Road The name of the road is taken from the Book of Changes, "The terrain is turbulent, and a gentleman carries his wealth with great virtue!"
At that time, Ye Mingsheng chose this name because this road was a main road in the plan. Ye Mingsheng thought that he would definitely walk on this road frequently in the future, so he wanted to use this name to remind himself to restrain his desires and try his best to Be a gentleman and benefit all the people in the world and the common people...
After more than half a year of construction, Houde Street has become a famous commercial street in Yijing because of its prime location. There are hundreds of shops and restaurants on the entire street. People come and go every day and there is a lot of traffic. Crowded!
According to the statistics of Yijing Government Office, the merchants on Guanghou De Road contribute at least more than 30,000 taels of silver in taxes to Yijing Government Office every year!
Among the hundreds of shops on Houde Road, the ones that deal in gold and jewelry are the most numerous. After all, as the current political and economic center of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Yijing has a lot of ladies. These ladies gather together, not to compete with each other. My husband has a high official position and earns a lot of money, so he is always competing to see who has more gold, silver and jewelry and is more beautiful.
And this also creates consumer demand, demand and purchasing power, so the existence of dozens of gold and jewelry stores on Houde Road is understandable.
Among the time-honored gold and silver jewelry brands such as Qianfan, Xilaifu and Debao, there is a store called Fushenglou that attracts more attention. Although the store area of Fushenglou is not the largest, it is located in The location is almost the best on this Houde Road!
The owner of this Fusheng Building is Feng Yuning. It is said that he is a businessman in Yunbin. He made a lot of money in Yunbin, so he came to Beijing to expand his business.
However, some people say that although the man surnamed Feng is called Dongjia, he is actually just a shopkeeper. After all, scholars, farmers, industry and commerce are not just for nothing...
Even if your family is extremely wealthy, you can't hold it down at all in the Great Zhou Dynasty, especially under the feet of an emperor like Yi Jing. Even if you are lucky enough to occupy the treasure land, you will have to give it up in the end, and this Fusheng Tower can always live in peace, The fact that no one dares to provoke him is enough to illustrate the problem!
At this time, in the basement of the warehouse in the backyard of Fusheng Building, a token fell on the table. Ye Chao, who was standing respectfully at the Coordination Office, suddenly looked startled.
At this time, Qiqige, who was standing opposite him, looked at Ye Chao and said coldly:
"Ye Baihu, can you explain why your token appears on Liu Bao?"
"Liu Bao? Who is he?" Ye Chao asked with some confusion:
Qiqige took a deep look at Ye Chao, who was full of doubts, and then said in a deep voice:
"It's already this time, and you still want to pretend to be stupid? Or are you really not crying until you see the coffin?"
"Looking at how loyal you were to Madam in the past, I am so polite to you now. Why, Ye Chao, do you have to have the punishment really be used on you before you are willing to do it?"
Hearing what Qiqige said was so terrifying, Ye Chao suddenly panicked, his legs went limp and he knelt at Qiqige's feet, crying:
"Auntie, I really don't know who this Liu Bao is, I've never heard of this name!"
Seeing that Ye Chao seemed to be trying to quibble, Qi Qige immediately turned cold and knocked Ye Chao to the ground with a palm. Then she took out a silver needle from her arms and pierced one of Ye Chao's acupuncture points. His expression changed and he let out a miserable wailing sound. While wailing, he begged Qiqige for mercy:
"Auntie, please let me go...I really don't know who Liu Bao is... ·········》
Faced with Ye Chao's begging for mercy, Qi Qige turned a deaf ear and still stabbed the silver needle in her hand deeper. This move also made Ye Chao suffer even more pain. A few seconds later, Ye Chao was gone again. He couldn't bear it anymore and passed out directly!
look
When Ye Chao was unconscious on the ground, Qiqige's eyes flashed with doubts. She was familiar with Ye Chao. He was a weakling who was greedy for life and afraid of death. It was by taking advantage of this that she killed him. Placed in the Coordination Office to secretly work for the eldest lady, this kid has never been a tough guy who can withstand punishment!
Could it be that I really thought wrong?
After hesitating for a while, Qiqige took off the silver needle from Ye Chao's body, and then slapped it again to wake up Ye Chao. When Ye Chao woke up, he was so frightened that he shivered when he looked at Qiqige in front of him. cried:
"Auntie, I beg you, I really don't know. If I lie to you, I, Ye Chao, will have no descendants. Please don't do it to me!"
Seeing Ye Chao's coward appearance, Qiqige glanced at him with some disgust and asked in a deep voice:
"Since you don't know Liu Bao, then tell me how you lost this badge?"
Ye Chao seemed a little hesitant when he heard this question, but under Qi Qige's cold and piercing gaze, he still hesitated and whispered:
"I won more than ten taels of silver in gambling a few days ago. When I was happy, I went to Cuixianglou for a drink. I drank a little too much. When I woke up, I found that my token was gone. I searched for it for several days. But still not found..."
Although Qiqige was a little angry when she said this, she was more helpless. After all, gambling and drinking wine were indeed something that a bastard like Ye Chao could do. Thinking of this, Qiqige wanted to directly kill her. He slapped him to death!
You must know that Liu Bao died outside the west city gate two days ago, still carrying Ye Chao's token, which caused quite a stir!
Fortunately, An Miaoyi thought that the family scandal should not be made public at the time, so although she ordered her subordinates to arrest Liu Bao, she did not inform them of the reason for arresting Liu Bao!
And this matter finally made An Miaoyi press it. After all, Ye Chao was the precious son of Ye Dasheng, the elder of the Ye clan, and Ye Dasheng was An Miaoyi's staunchest supporter in the Ye clan!
So although she was angry, but considering Ye Dasheng's face and his consistent support for her, An Miaoyi could only find a way to suppress the matter.
Looking at Qiqi Ge's livid face, Ye Chao cautiously tried:
"Auntie, what happened? Doesn't Madam know that I lost my token?"
Under Ye Chao's questioning gaze, Qiqige still said coldly:
"Ye Chao, you're done this time!"
As soon as these words came out, Ye Chao was even more panicked and asked quickly:
"What happened to my aunt? I just lost my token...and my father is Ye Dasheng..." ·····》
Before he finished speaking, Qiqige slapped him in the face, and then reprimanded him coldly:
"If your father hadn't been Ye Dasheng, you bastard would be in the prison of the Coordination Office right now!"
Ye Chao didn't dare to say anything after hearing this. After Qiqige calmed down, he ordered:
"Take the token and go back and wait!"
Feeling the coldness in Qiqige's words, Ye Chao knelt down again and begged:
"Auntie, you must help me and say a few kind words to the eldest lady!"
"I'm innocent! I really don't know anything!"
Seeing that Ye Chao was really panicked, Qi Qige ordered in a deep voice:
"If you are asked to go back and wait for notification, just wait for the notification fee. As long as you are innocent, the superiors will not let anyone take the shit out of you!"
As soon as these words came out, Ye Chao felt relieved. He immediately stood up and bowed deeply to Qiqige and said:
"I, Ye Chao, leave everything to you for my little life!"
"Get out!"
Amidst Qi Qige's scolding, Ye Chao immediately crawled out of the secret room, and after he left, a handsome middle-aged scribe walked into the secret room.
Seeing the visitor, Qiqige asked in a deep voice:
"Feng Yuning, are you right?
What do you think about this matter? "
Feng Yuning, the owner of Fushenglou, smiled slightly and said:
"I agree with you, madam. Although Mr. Ye Chao likes to have fun, he has nothing to do with Liu Bao, and the other party is well prepared at first glance, so someone around the eldest lady may really leak the secret... ·············》
Qi Qige frowned slightly when she heard this. Seeing this, Feng Yuning continued:
"Madam, I have some clues about what you asked me to check last time. There may be some problems with this Aunt Zhao!"
"You mean Zhao Erxiu?"
"Yes!"
"Where's the evidence?"
"Two months ago, she gave her sister Zhao Sanxiu two 10-tael silver notes! In addition, this Aunt Zhao is a Buddhist. When she went out to do shopping two months ago, she once complained to her sister Zhao Sanxiu, saying She was punished by the eldest lady and feels that the eldest lady’s treatment was unfair!”
Facing Qiqige's surprised gaze, Feng Yuning slightly nodded to indicate that Qiqige was right.
Seeing this, Qiqige's expression couldn't help but darken. After a moment, she asked Feng Yuning in a deep voice:
"How did you know about this?"
Feng Yuning said lightly:
"Of course I have my own ideas. Madam, when you return home, all you need to do is arrest Nanny Zhao and put her on trial!"
The answer given by Feng Yuning did not satisfy Qiqige, so Qiqige continued to stare at Feng Yuning.
After a few seconds of stalemate, Feng Yuning could only choose to compromise and explained:
"I thought Zhao Erxiu was the most suspicious, so I arrested her sister and her family for interrogation!"
Qiqige heard this and asked in a deep voice:
"Who do you think ordered Aunt Zhao to do this?"
Feng Yuning did not give an answer immediately after hearing this, but after thinking about it, he said in a deep voice:
"From the current point of view, the person who can do such a thing is really powerful, so the first suspect must be Mrs. Murong. She has the ability and means to do such a thing... ············》
"But my intuition tells me that she did not do this. After all, the Murong family just suffered such a big blow and should have stopped to recuperate. Moreover, she is pregnant with a child again. Giving birth to the child smoothly should be her top priority!"
After saying this, Feng Yuning changed his voice and said:
"That Mrs. Bai doesn't care who is behind this matter. All she wants to do is try to muddy the waters and help her family get away with it!"
"So as long as the eldest lady is willing to let the Bai family go, the Bai family will definitely stop immediately. So this matter mainly depends on how the eldest lady handles this matter!"
Qiqige did not speak but fell into deep thought. After hesitating for a moment, she seemed to realize something and then asked Feng Yuning:
"You don't seem to want Madam to continue investigating?"
Feng Yuning said nothing when faced with this question, but the silence clearly represented her attitude.
Seeing this, Qiqige asked again:
"Why? Who do you think is behind this?"
Facing Qi Qige's series of questions, Feng Yuning sighed and said helplessly:
"How many people in this world are there who can place an undercover agent next to Madam?"
"Obviously the Madam has no such idea, and the possibility of Murong Qingwu is very small. Although Madam Pei is not showy, she is very self-aware and never gets involved in such things. Qiqige, please take care of yourself. Think about who else can do such a thing..."
As soon as these words came out, Qiqige immediately thought about it, and a trace of doubt flashed in her eyes. Why did Feng Yuning seem to rule out all the suspects?
Just when Qiqige was puzzled, Feng Yuning could only speak more straightforwardly.
"You missed the most important person!"
When I heard Feng Yuning say this, I was initially confused.
Qiqige immediately looked stunned, as if she had realized something, and then she took a deep breath, and then looked at Feng Yuning.
Facing Qi Qige's gaze, Feng Yuning slightly nodded and said:
"That's what I think! I also think that this person is the only one who has the ability to place people beside the eldest lady!"
Taking a deep breath again, Qiqige nodded and said:
"I understand, I will convey your thoughts to the eldest lady!"
After saying that, Qiqige left immediately, and just when Qiqige was about to leave the secret room, Feng Yuning suddenly spoke:
"Is she okay?"
As soon as these words came out, Qiqige immediately stopped, then turned around and looked at Feng Yuning and warned:
"This has nothing to do with you!"
Feng Yuning smiled slightly and said:
"Don't be nervous, I'm just asking. After all, we might have been friends once... we met once!
Under Qi Qige's murderous gaze, Feng Yuning could only change her words immediately, but even so, Qi Qige immediately grabbed his neck and threatened:
"Feng, don't be so sentimental here. If you dare to have any evil thoughts, I, Qiqige, will be the first to kill you, and none of your Feng family members will survive. Do you understand? clear?"
Facing Qi Qige's unabashed threat, Feng Yuning did not have any fear, but still nodded and said:
"Don't worry! I am also a family man now, and I will not be confused about this kind of thing!"
