After Qiao Shuoming led the people away, Wen Rui immediately came down from upstairs, looked around with twinkling eyes, and asked the madam: "What happened just now? Why did I seem to see some servants going out?"
The old madam has indeed been in this business for many years, and there is no flaw on her face. A slightly sarcastic smile appears on her face and she says: "It's been hot lately, and there have been a lot of people coming to visit, especially these bad guys. Let's
I can't afford to offend them. Fortunately, they are not greedy. At most, they come in to have a rest when passing by and ask for a bowl of iced sour plum soup."
Upon hearing this, Wen Rui looked at the table where Qiao Shuoming and others were sitting just now. Sure enough, she saw that there were still a few bowls on the table, with some unfinished sour plum soup at the bottom of the bowls. She finally let go of her worries.
This time, she was ordered by Miss Bai to bring several women from the West Courtyard to borrow seeds.
If you want to do this kind of thing and don't want to be known, a brothel is the best choice.
This was not the first time she had done this. Women in the West Courtyard had conceived children this way before.
Precisely because this was not their first time working together, Wen Rui did not doubt the madam, and went back upstairs after exchanging a few pleasantries.
Although the madam thought she was a little strange before, she could make some money for free, and Wen Rui and the people she brought were very peaceful and never caused trouble, so she didn't think much about it.
But after being reminded by Qiao Shuoming, the more the madam thought about it, the more strange she felt.
Although the people Wen Rui brought didn't look like they were forced, they didn't look like they were used to this business. On the contrary, they were more like the good-natured women Qiao Shuoming said.
And in the past two years, she came five or six times, but each time she brought different people.
The strangest thing is that she still has requirements for her servants to pick up customers. She basically doesn't accept the older ones, only choosing those who are young, strong and in the prime of life.
That is to say, the people she brings are all new faces, and the customers in the store are also willing to try something new, so the business is not bad.
The madam looked at Wen Rui's back going up the stairs, beckoned to her confidants, and whispered in her ear: "You have been keeping a close eye on her recently, and those people under her. Whatever they have done, they will do it to me."
Report everything in detail."
"Yes!" The confidant responded and immediately went down to make arrangements.
I hadn't noticed it before, but now I was paying close attention, and I immediately discovered that there were more strange things about Wen Rui.
"Every time they receive a customer, they don't drink the soup. Wen Rui even asks them to lie on the bed for a while and not to wash themselves off immediately.
"And I discovered that Wen Rui asks someone to check their pulse every day, but I don't know why specifically..."
After hearing this, the madam immediately remembered that when Wen Rui brought people here a few times before, the closer to the back, the fewer people were picking up the guests. Could it be that because she was pregnant, she was not allowed to pick up the guests?
But what is this picture of?
The old bustard couldn't figure it out and didn't bother to think about it anymore. He just asked someone to go to the government office and tell Qiao Shuoming all the information he found.
Qiao Shuoming was also a little confused by the ambiguous information, but he had been secretly investigating the reincarnation drug during this period, so in a flash of his mind, he connected the two things.
He said to the person who came to deliver the letter: "Go back and tell your boss that you should continue to keep an eye on me these days, and don't let the wind spread."
"Yes, don't worry, Master Qiao, I will definitely not miss you."
After sending the people away, Qiao Shuoming thought over and over again and prepared to report to Shen Zhonglei.
"After the last city-wide search, I was a little suspicious of Miss Bai, but she had all the documents in her hand, so I couldn't find any clues at the moment.
"But the next day, when I passed by there again, the house was already empty. If I didn't do anything bad, why did I run so fast?
"This time I saw her maids in the brothel again. I heard from the old madam that they have often brought people to the brothel in the past two years. They bring different people every time. They only pick young men when picking up customers, and they don't drink alcohol.
Tang, I secretly checked my pulse every day. The further back I went, the fewer people came out to pick up the guests.
"If you want to study the transfer drug, you should need many pregnant women.
"So I have a little suspicion that this Wen Rui brought someone out to borrow some seeds, right?"
Qiao Shuoming felt that what he said was reasonable and well-founded, but when others heard it, he couldn't help but feel that it was a bit far-fetched.
Especially these days, he has won the respect of Shen Zhonglei, and some people in the yamen have long disliked him.
"Agent Qiao, you have been working on the case of reincarnation drugs recently. Are you under too much pressure because there is no progress, so you feel suspicious about everything you look at?"
"That's right, it's normal to find no clues in this kind of case. There's no need to make up some clues just to claim credit."
"Master Shen is the most reasonable person, and he won't punish you because you can't find any clues. Why bother?"
Everyone was in a weird mood, thinking that he was crazy because he wanted to make meritorious deeds and was talking nonsense.
Even Shen Zhonglei felt that Qiao Shuoming took it for granted. After all, there was no evidence, it was just his own suspicion and some clues provided by the madam.
However, Shen Zhonglei was quite tolerant of the young man Qiao Shuoming and did not suppress his enthusiasm. Instead, he said: "Although there is no substantive evidence, Xiao Qiao's spirit of not letting go of any doubts and caring about the case in everything he does is
It's still worth encouraging.
"If you are really suspicious of Miss Bai, it is better to do this. The four people you have now are at your disposal. You can continue to investigate according to your ideas, and report back after you find the evidence!"
As soon as this statement came out, everyone else in the yamen couldn't help but want to snicker.
It seems that this time Qiao Shuoming was flattered and slapped on the horse's hooves. Not only did he not get any benefits, he was also assigned such a hot job.
How is this case so easy to investigate?
Didn’t you see that the Ruiqin Palace sent people to investigate, and no clues were found?
I don't know how much effort it will take to find out who's responsible. By then, I'm afraid the closest confidants around Lord Shen will have been replaced.
If nothing good is found, Mr. Shen will definitely not trust and value him as much as before.
Looking left and right, everything is a losing battle. Sure enough, you are still young and full of enthusiasm, but you don't know how to weigh the pros and cons.
Everyone in the yamen was waiting to see Qiao Shuoming's show, and several of his subordinates were also very puzzled by this.
In order to be able to follow Qiao Shuoming, everyone went through a lot of competition.
But what they wanted was not Qiao Shuoming, but to use him to show his face in front of Shen Zhonglei.
After working under Qiao Shuoming, everyone discovered that this leader was actually quite easy to get along with.
He doesn't put on airs, sets an example in everything he does, and never makes things difficult for his subordinates.
Several people were secretly glad that they had chosen the right person, but who would have thought that he would come so quietly!
Not to mention whether something can be found out in the end, in this hot day, who wants to go out to investigate and solve the case?
