Although Liu Quan came back to his senses, his expression remained as usual, not sour at all.
Not jealous?
Yes.
At this time, she looked relaxed and said calmly: "I know very well what my husband is like. He has always been clean and self-respecting. He has never been involved with women, and there is no way he would fall in love with those skinny horses. For this
One thing I have always believed in."
"To tell you the truth, in private, I have tried to persuade him more than once to take in a house and concubines so that I can spread the leaves and branches of my family, but he just refuses to obey. You said, just use
With such a temperament, how could he go to a place like that to eat and have fun?"
Liu Quan's words were loud and firm.
It is not difficult to tell that she has great trust in her husband's character, and this has not changed at all over time.
Trust is rock solid and remains as strong as ever.
Compared to Liu Quan's determination, Yin Tao seemed a little hesitant, still looking suspicious.
"Sister, I doubt it's true this time..."
"Oh? How can you see it?"
Liu Quan saw that she was hesitant to speak, so he persuaded her: "I said, why are you ashamed? You have to tell the whole story first, and then we can make a judgment, right? You are talking like this without matching the first words and the last words.
, how can I understand it?"
Well, yes.
Let’s talk about things first.
Thinking of this, Yin Tao concealed her shame and said softly: "Early this morning, a government official came to look for me and asked me to identify a key evidence in a case. However, when I asked about the evidence
When I came here, I discovered..."
Speaking of this, she couldn't help but pause her feet and seemed very unhappy.
Liu Quan was aroused by her curiosity and couldn't help but urge: "Tell me quickly, what did you find?"
Yin Tao pursed her lips and snorted, and then recounted what the yamen servant said in one breath.
In short, she felt one happy and one worried.
What made her happy was that the efficiency of solving the case was very fast. In just a few days, the railway track sabotage case was revealed. But what made her uncomfortable was that he actually went to that kind of place...
After Liu Quan heard this, he said nonchalantly: "You, you are just chasing the wind and shadows! What's the matter? Isn't it just a business trip there? I see you are nervous."
"Sister, do you know that he brought back a beautiful oiran this time!" Yin Tao's face turned red and she said with shame and anger.
What did you say?
My husband brought back a woman?
Liu Quan was startled and said to himself: "Could it be that this woman is a key witness?"
"No!" Yin Tao shook her head and said, "I heard the yamen servant say that he once laughed out loud and praised the oiran: 'He got this girl like a phoenix!' Listen to the appreciation in these words.
How obvious the meaning is!
"Is this really possible?"
"Absolutely true!"
However, after being in a daze for just a moment, Liu Quan calmed down and showed a calm expression on his face.
Then, after looking at Yin Tao's face and figure for a while, she asked, "How do you think that courtesan's figure compares to yours?"
"Compare with me?"
Yin Meiren was slightly startled, and then said shyly: "To be honest with my sister, early this morning, I did go and take a peek at the oiran who was brought back. In my opinion, that woman was just above average.
How can your appearance be compared to people like us?"
Although this is a bit self-admiring, Yin Tao does have such pride in terms of her outstanding appearance.
Liu Quan tasted the product carefully and said with a smile: "In this case, why are you so nervous? Think about it, if he doesn't pick up the most outstanding women like you, how can he stop falling in love with those mediocre ones?
What about the fat and vulgar fans? My husband is not a fool, so he will not do the next best thing!"
"But what if he just prefers that bite?"
"I know his taste better than you. Unless the girl looks like me and inadvertently arouses his affection, there is absolutely no chance!"
Yin Tao was overjoyed when she heard this and quickly asked, "What if you meet someone like me?"
Are you like this?
Liu Quan glanced at her buttocks and sighed: "You, at first glance, you seem to be the kind of person who is very fertile. You need to have a good appearance and a good body. But why don't you say this?
?”
After being told this, Yin Tao began to feel a little disappointed.
Liu Quan couldn't bear it and hurriedly persuaded him: "The days are long, so don't be discouraged. I believe you can warm his heart..."
Hearing this, Yin Tao became happy again.
However, she shook her head and said in a weird tone: "Although I admire him, I will not marry him. We are just close friends."
Is this hysteria?
Otherwise, why would you talk nonsense?
Well, it does look a bit like it!
Look, she is usually such a smart person, but why does she become stupid when it comes to her husband? What else is this if not hysteria?
Thinking of this, Liu Quan couldn't help but sigh quietly, feeling emotional in his heart again.
…
Let's talk about Qi Yu, he just hunkered down at his desk for a while and was woken up by the sound of reporting from the returning yamen servant.
They brought back two pieces of great news.
First, Yin Tao reported that the set of locking turnbuckles was missing from the rails, and she was very sure about this. In other words, Jiang Yuan was definitely related to the previous rail damage case. This can now be concluded.
Already.
Second, according to his mentor Meng Lanshan, the portrait of Jiang Yuan felt familiar to him, but he was not sure. He felt that this person seemed to have a similar appearance to a prince-in-law named Wei Zeng.
In fact, Qi Yu is not surprised by the above two results.
Needless to say about the first one, let’s talk about the second one, Jiang Yuan’s identity. He had indeed anticipated this.
You see, this man has a very typical northern accent, and the madam has also hinted that he is a nobleman from the capital. Through these two information points, you can basically guess his approximate origin.
Also, Meng Jiming had previously asked his son to send a message to him, saying that Wei Zeng, the prince-in-law in the capital, had recently stayed in Qiongzhou. If these pieces of information are strung together, there is a certain degree of agreement, so
, it is not difficult to guess his identity.
Now it can be basically concluded that Jiang Yuan is the pseudonym of the Prince Consort Wei Zeng.
As for why he doesn't reveal his real name, it probably has something to do with his smuggling. For such a shady matter, it is natural to do it as covertly as possible.
After a while, Huang Fei, who had gone out, also returned.
As soon as they met, he couldn't wait to say: "As expected, Jiang Yuan was fooled! Haha, he not only accepted your help gladly, but also solemnly expressed his gratitude. In addition, he also asked
I am sending you a message saying that in the evening this evening, he will personally lead his men to carry the goods out of the city, and then transfer to Qiongnan to go to the port."
After a pause, Huang Fei added: "As for retaining the oiran, he agreed without even thinking about it."
All in all, everything went well.
Qi Yu was overjoyed when he heard this and said with a smile: "Haha, now I can finally close the net and catch the turtle in his urn."
Huang Fei hurriedly patted it and said: "The reason why it went so smoothly is all thanks to your master's clever plan!"
"..."
The two laughed and laughed, sweeping away the melancholy and gloom from before.
Smoothly!
After complimenting each other for a while, Qi Yu suddenly said: "Brother Huang, you know that this Jiang Yuan's identity is very unusual. He is an upright prince-in-law! And his real name is Wei Zeng."
"It's him?"
"good!"
Huang Fei smacked his lips and said suddenly: "No wonder he dares to come to our Qiongzhou to smuggle goods. It turns out that the eldest princess is his backer!"
Qi Yu smiled coldly and said: "Now that the Empress Dowager is dead, what else does the eldest princess under her knee have to fear? When it comes to my three-acre land, even relatives of the emperor have to give it.
