All the workers in the charcoal kiln knew that the mutton buns that day were an unexpected surprise.
Because when Gu Caiwei's late husband was still alive, there would be a similar reward every three or five months to encourage everyone.
When Gu Caiwei became the head of the family, he had an extra meal of meat every month, so the workers in the charcoal kiln also said that Gu Caiwei was kind-hearted.
But none of them thought about how kind-hearted Gu Caiwei could be.
In the next three days, Gu Caiwei would reward them with food in a donkey cart every day, and the food was not of the same kind.
Manager Ma stomped her feet in distress, all she had to do was shout out, "Don't waste it. Why don't you just feed me!"
However, Gu Caiwei herself didn't seem to care much about these expenses. She even took off the black gauze originally worn on her face to prevent harassment, and she smiled more.
In fact, everyone around Gu Caiwei could feel that her mood had changed from gloomy to sunny since Song Zhongwen and his party left that day. At the same time, she also casually accepted the invitation sent by President Shen of the Southeast Chamber of Commerce to enjoy the flowers. Throwed into the pond.
Many people thought that she was happy that she was finally out of the current crisis, but in fact Gu Caiwei knew in her heart that there was another reason for her happiness.
And this reason is now right in front of her.
Lu Jing used the starting position of the Crazy One Hundred and Eight Canes to chop wood. After that, he would use other moves to cut off the surrounding twigs depending on the situation. After one set, he could feel his skill proficiency soaring, that is, one move at a time. Looking back and finding Gu Caiwei standing behind him still made him a little uncomfortable.
Especially seeing the slight sweat on his face, Gu Caiwei would step forward holding a handkerchief and ask softly, "Do you want to wipe away the sweat?"
"Uh... Okay." Seeing Gu Caiwei's kindness, Lu Jing didn't feel comfortable refusing.
He reached out to take the handkerchief, but then saw Gu Caiwei bypassing the hand he extended, walking straight to him, and wiping the sweat from his face with her own hands.
Just like a little daughter-in-law serving her own officials.
Lu Jing felt a little embarrassed. Even if it was for the purpose of confusing the traitor, Gu Caiwei had gone too far.
Especially at such a close distance, he could already smell the rouge on Gu Caiwei's body and clearly see every eyebrow she had drawn in early.
And you must know that like the Song Dynasty, women in the Chen Dynasty did not have as many restrictions on dressing as they did later. Many of them wore tube tops and bras, and they did not hesitate to show off their career lines. In addition, Gu Caiwei only wore a loose-fitting dress. burlap clothes.
If Lu Jing's gaze was lower... He no longer dared to think any further and could only try to keep his gaze above the level.
Fortunately, in broad daylight, Gu Caiwei didn't make any further move. After wiping her sweat, she put away her handkerchief.
But soon she spoke again, "Young Master Lu, slave... I actually have something else I want to ask for."
"Master Gu, please tell me." Lu Jing did not become heroic because of Gu Caiwei's sudden act of intimacy. He agreed immediately and still cautiously asked what the other party wanted first.
"That's it." When it came to business, Gu Caiwei's expression became serious again, "I hope Shaoxia Lu can help me find the traitor."
"A traitor in the charcoal kiln farm?" Lu Jing raised his eyebrows.
"I know that there are people from Song Zhongwen here at the charcoal kiln, and the people who split the wood before have resigned. It is Song Zhongwen who is behind it. But I don't really mean to blame them too much.
"Because the people who work here are from poor families, it is inevitable that someone will be bribed. Even if you find out, there is no point. As long as Song Zhongwen offers a high enough price, or moves out his uncle who is the master of the book and threatens him, there will definitely be someone else. Keep informing him."
"That's true." Lu nodded.
"What I'm worried about is not the traitor in the charcoal kiln. To be honest, what they can tell Song Zhongwen is very limited. What I'm really worried about is the people around me."
"That letter?" Lu Jing thought of something.
"That's right, after discovering that Nu's situation was not good, Nu wrote a letter to his cousin who was far away in the capital. He wanted to get it one step ahead of Song Zhongwen and others before Song Zhongwen and others launched the final attack..."
"Just decide on a new marriage?"
Gu Caiwei hummed softly, and then looked into Lu Jing's eyes, "Caiwei doesn't know what Mr. Lu thinks of me. I was supposed to mourn for my late husband for three years. It's best to end it from the beginning. This was indeed my plan from the beginning. No more remarrying, and spending this life clinging to the business left by my deceased husband, it’s just..."
"You don't need to explain to me. I've never been the kind of person who likes to judge other people's choices from the moral high ground." Lu Jing shook his head and said, "Besides, I also know the difficulties you face."
Gu Caiwei seemed to be relieved when she heard this, "I didn't expect Mr. Lu to be so enlightened. If a rotten scholar were here and saw that the slave man had just died, he couldn't wait to find a new love. He was afraid that he would poke Caiwei's spine and scold Caiwei. What a bloody dog."
After a pause, she continued, "Talking back to that letter is of great importance. I have been very careful from the beginning and tried to avoid other people, so even now I still can't figure out what happened to that letter. Was it leaked?"
"Is it possible that the problem was with your cousin in the capital? Wasn't he imprisoned for writing poetry? It should be normal for your letter to be discovered later."
"I have thought about it, but although this letter is important to me, it is insignificant to the adults in the capital. It should not reach Song Zhongwen's ears in Wujiang City at all."
"That's true, so you now suspect that there is a traitor planted by Song Zhongwen around you, right?"
"That's right. And I actually already have a general range. At the beginning, there were only three people around me who knew about the existence of this letter." Gu Caiwei said, "I have already thought about how to find the traitor among them. It's just that I A woman is worried that her traitor will jump over the wall after breaking up."
"So you actually want me to accompany you to investigate." Lu Jing asked.
Gu Caiwei nodded again, "There are actually a few nursing homes around me, but at this time, I don't know if they are reliable, or you, Mr. Lu..."
Lu Jing actually didn't want to go, because he was still racing against time to fight against the internal power in his dantian, and he really didn't have time to run any side tasks, so he wanted to decline after hearing this.
But then she heard Gu Caiwei bite her lip and say, "I won't let Lu Shaoxia make this trip in vain. After the matter is completed, slave, slave, I can agree to Lu Shaoxia's request, any request is fine."
Lu Jing was stunned when he heard this. He really did have something he wanted, and that thing probably didn't mean anything to a rich woman like Gu Caiwei. However, he still didn't agree immediately and asked again.
"Are the three suspects you mentioned ordinary people or people in the martial arts world?"
"They are all ordinary people."
"How long will the investigation take?"
"Half...half a day should be enough, and most of the time Young Master Lu can do as he pleases."
"Okay." Lu Jing finally nodded, "I'll accompany you on this trip."
