"Niutou Village occupies Niutou Mountain, so you have to walk half a day's journey. It only took seven or eight years to build."
Wen Ranran opened her mouth to explain the situation. Seeing Xia Lishuang's interest, she frowned and spoke more.
"It's just that this village is very strange. There are hundreds of people in their village. They don't engage in robbery. They just charge some tolls. Their life is quite comfortable. They eat good wine and meat, and everyone wears clothes.
Better than ordinary people!"
"Oh?" Xia Lishuang fiddled with the Buddhist beads twice, "Then they shouldn't have appeared on the mountain outside the city by such a coincidence, and happened to meet Wan'er who was locked in the mountain."
Wen Ranran touched her chin and nodded, "My husband suspects that someone is deliberately instigating the Niutou Village?"
Xia Lishuang thought there was no other possibility except this reason, and added: "In the list of drug dealers you wrote, those people are either dead or disappeared. Qianyu hid in Niutou Village when he found out about Zheng Xiao today!"
Zheng Xiao is the one who asked Wen Ranran to help him find the gold hidden by his father.
Wen Ranran thought about it and found that it was not surprising, "Zheng Xiao has a very good relationship with the leader of Niutou Village. It is normal for him to hide in Niutou Village."
"According to what you said, he is a big seller of five-stone powder."
"My husband suspects that Niutou Village is related to the Wushisan transaction?"
"It's almost certain, but further verification is needed."
After finishing her words, Xia Lishuang stared at Wen Ranran thoughtfully, even showing a bit of suspicion.
Wen Ranran frowned, "What do you think, sir?"
"Ran Ran, do you really trust Aunt Dongqing?" Xia Lishuang asked coldly.
…
In the evening, Xiaohuang Tavern is busy.
In a single room on the second floor.
Wen Ranran poured a cup of tea for Aunt Dong Qing and Feng Qi, "Aunt, I ordered your favorite wine, the fine Jian Chun wine. You will have to drink more in a while!"
"How can I open the door for business at night after drinking too much?"
Aunt Dong Qing glanced at her with a half-smile, then looked at Xia Lishuang, who was sitting upright in front of her, and Qian Yu, who was looking wary behind him, and smiled lightly.
"The prince of the county is really good. He has obsessed my little niece with all kinds of things, and he actually dug a hole for my aunt."
Xia Lishuang smiled and said, "Aunt Dong Qing misunderstood. I have received help from my aunt a while ago and have never had the chance to thank you. So I asked Ran Ran to invite Aunt Dong Qing out and hold a thank you banquet."
"I'm afraid it's the Hongmen Banquet?" Feng Qi narrowed her peach blossom eyes, stared at the cheerful Wen Ranran and said, "What a little white-eyed wolf!"
Wen Ranran smiled cheekily, "Auntie, don't worry too much, I'm really grateful to you! Look, these are all your and Feng Qi's favorite dishes!"
The waiter pushed the door open, put all the hot food and wine on the table, and then left.
After three rounds of drinking.
Xia Lishuang pretended to ask casually, "Wang Yan found out that he had been ambushed that day. He looked at Aunt Dong Qing as if he were looking at a traitor, which made people very curious."
This is when we get down to business.
Aunt Dongqing raised her beautiful eyes and looked at him indifferently, "Is this the only old thing that the prince wants to ask about?"
"After going to Camellia Lane a few days ago, Ran Ran and I looked for those selling Five Stone Powder, but it was too late anyway. I wonder if this matter is related to Aunt Dong Qing?" Xia Lishuang narrowed her eyes.
Who knows, Aunt Dongqing took a sip of wine and said casually: "Probably."
That’s it!
Unexpectedly, she admitted it so directly, and Xia Lishuang was surprised.
Qian Yu, who was standing, couldn't help but frown when he saw that Aunt Dong Qing and Feng Qi both looked calm.
Most people can't be so indifferent, but why can't he find out the origins behind them?
Wen Ranran asked curiously, "Auntie, do you know that we are going to investigate the matter of Wushisan?"
"Well, you're looking for Niu Hu, Brother Hu at the Wushi Powder Market. Isn't it to check the Wushi Powder? Maybe it's to buy the Wushi Powder?" Aunt Dong Qing glanced at her with disgust.
Wen Ranran: Auntie, you can’t scold me...I want to respect my elders!
