Chapter 111 Checking Information
Seemingly hearing the voice, Madam Wei came back to her senses and did not fall into Xiao Jinyu's trap. Instead, she looked at Xiao Jinyu, who was dressed in black and showed a noble and cool temperament, with a very stunning look.
"Why is the little lady dressed like this today? I thought she was a princess from somewhere. She is so gorgeous and stunning!"
This sentence was obviously trying to hide something, and Xiao Jinyu did not break it.
Madam Wei came closer again and asked in a low voice: "My dear lady, you didn't lose your virginity last night, right? Even if you lose your virginity, it's better to give it to King Lanling than to give it to that bastard King Shixing, don't you think?"
After saying that, she chuckled playfully.
Xiao Jinyu didn't say anything, but Phoenix, who had sharp ears, heard the whisper and couldn't help but raised his eyebrows and shouted angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about!"
Madam Wei was startled and turned to Phoenix.
"Boy, you can hear such a small voice. What kind of ears do you have?" After saying this, he smiled again and praised, "But you are not bad, you did a very heroic thing. I heard that you dethroned King Shixing, the young lady who saved the whole city of Kangcheng. By the way, how about your kick? "Can that beast be cured?"
"How do I know if it can be cured? I'm not a doctor. Besides, it was too late to escape at that time!"
"oh!"
Madam Wei glanced at Xiao Jinyu meaningfully, then suddenly sighed and said: "Then it seems, madam, your business as a miracle doctor is about to come again!"
Xiao Jinyu understood the meaning of her words, smiled slightly, did not answer, but changed the subject and said: "Ms. Wei, I don't have much time. To make a long story short, I came today just to get some information, some information about Chen Information about the princes of the royal family.”
"Yes, the handbook you gave me can be regarded as endless wealth. I, Mrs. Wei, relied on it to make a fortune. Maybe in the future, my descendants will be able to get the name of a noble family. Besides, the method you taught me is also very good. The recent revenue It's grown a lot more than before, but the tea and the shabu-shabu beef still can't taste like yours..." After saying that, she came over and begged, "Why don't you teach me how to make that tea? And that beef shabu-shabu?”
"It's just a small road, Mrs. Wei, you should concentrate on running your Xinghua Yanyu Building. I will ask A Xiu to teach you about tea drinking some other day. Don't do anything else. It's not suitable for you!"
"Okay, then just listen to the little lady!"
Xiao Jinyu paused for a moment and then asked:
"So, should you lend me your Xinghua Yanyu Building's account book?"
"Don't you want information? Why do you want to see the ledger?"
"All information will be in the account numbers. I want to see detailed information, from the past two years!"
…
Madam Wei didn't make any excuses to refuse, and decisively asked the accountant, Mr. Fang, to take out the accounts of the past two years and show them to Xiao Jinyu.
Two large boxes were filled with two years of account books, and Xiao Jinyu read one after another with concentration.
Time passed little by little with the flow of light on her fingertips, and Mrs. Wei felt tiredness sweeping over her. When she occasionally looked back, she saw Xiao Jinyu still sitting there upright, except for the jade-like fingers reading page after page. Looking through the account book, she could almost be described as motionless. Occasionally, Fenghuang would hand her a cup of tea, and she would just take a sip, put it down, and continue to flip through the next page, and the next book.
Mrs. Wei couldn't help but sigh in her heart: This girl from a wealthy family is really well-educated and has a very good temperament. She could sit upright like this for a long time without feeling tired.
But this appearance...
She always felt that something was not right today, so she looked around through the tiny transparent gauze to try to see Xiao Jinyu's face clearly, but she avoided it when Phoenix deliberately blocked her and glared at her.
About an hour later, Xiao Jinyu looked through the account books of the past two years.
When she stood up, Mrs. Wei was very surprised: "Have you finished reading it all?"
"Well, after reading it!"
"Did you see any information?"
"Of course!" Xiao Jinyu replied, speaking unhurriedly, "A year ago, Prince Chen Shubao and a group of civil servants from the East Palace often came to your place to have banquets and write poems. Also accompanying them was the King of Changsha, Chen Shujian. , but I haven’t been here again in the past year. Do you know why?”
Madam Wei shook her head: "I don't know. Do you know why, little lady?"
"Did anyone die when the prince had a banquet with you for the last time?"
"You said that, and I remembered that a beggar did die, but it's not a big deal. In this day and age, countless homeless beggars starve to death every day, and no one cares.
Moreover, the beggar was quickly dragged away by the officers and soldiers patrolling the streets. After that, no one mentioned it at all. Everyone drank when they should and had fun when they should.
There is a poem that I am reciting: If you are less than a hundred years old, always cherish... always cherish..."
"If you are less than a hundred years old, you often worry about being a thousand years old. The days are short and the nights are long, so why not travel by holding a candle."
"Yes, that's the saying... the so-called carpe diem, life is short, why live in the moment? Isn't it the most respected by today's scholars?"
Xiao Jinyu was not in the mood to joke with Mrs. Wei and continued to say seriously, "But this beggar did not starve to death, but drank a kind of wine in your Xinghua Yanyu Building. This wine is called acacia wine, which is the same as a When sugar pills called Acacia Tears are mixed together, they will produce a highly toxic..."
Madam Wei's expression suddenly changed. "Have you ever heard of lovesickness wine? And lovesickness tears?" she asked in surprise.
"Isn't there a record in your account book? In the first year of Taijian, on the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, at the moment of the hour, Chen Bogu, the king of Xin'an County, took a piece of Acacia Tears. A moment later, Chen Shujian, the king of Changsha, took a piece of acacia wine. pot."
"Then how do you know that putting the two together will produce a highly toxic substance?"
"Because you never sell the two together, and you have written down that they cannot be taken at the same time. And you also buy stalactites in large quantities. I guess this so-called lovesickness tears are also made with stalactites, right?"
Madam Wei's expression could no longer be described as horrified.
"You can deduce this just by looking at the account books of the past two years?"
Xiao Jinyu nodded and warned sternly: "Don't do this kind of thing again, it's harmful to people's health!"
"But all the noble children love it, saying they can attain enlightenment and become immortals..."
Xiao Jinyu gave her a cold look, but the latter did not dare to say any more.
After a moment, he returned to the subject: "But having said that, what exactly did you want to say when you mentioned this matter? Even if the beggar mistakenly took Xiangsi pills and drank alcohol, which caused his blood vessels to stagnate and died, what does it mean? "
"Who got the wine? Who got the acacia pills?"
The king of Changsha took the wine, and the king of Xin'an County took the pills...
Madam Wei seemed to have thought of something and was horrified.
"What is the relationship between Changsha King Chen Shujian and Chen Shuling?"
"These two people, I heard that they are at odds with each other. Even when they go to court, they don't give in to each other's honors. Every time they come to my Xinghua Yanyu Tower, they will fight openly and secretly."
Speaking of this, Madam Wei's expression was shocked again.
"What you mean is that Chen Shujian belongs to the prince's party, and Prince Xin'an belongs to the Shixing King's party, so one of them takes wine and the other takes pills, it is very possible that..."
"King Shixing wanted to poison the prince, but unfortunately the king of Changsha saw through it and gave the wine to the beggar..." Xiao Jinyu continued decisively.
Madam Wei's face turned pale in an instant.
She remembered that on that day, the King of Changsha and the King of Shixing did have a fight over a jug of wine, and the two had a heated argument. Later, she was the one who made the decision and gave each of them a jug of acacia wine.
The wine was brought to the prince's table by the King of Changsha, but when the prince was about to drink, the King of Changsha suddenly pushed the wine pot over like crazy and spilled it all over the floor. Later, the prince was very disappointed and drank the rest of the wine. To the servants.
But then, she saw King Changsha taking out the pot of wine...
So the King of Changsha actually took the beggar for examination, just to test whether the wine was poisonous?
"Young lady, you can't make random guesses about this matter. If the prince really dies on my side, then I..."
"He will be arrested as a murderer and will most likely be executed in a hurry!" Xiao Jinyu continued.
Mrs. Wei seemed to have seen the scene of being Ling Chi, and her whole body was trembling in horror.
"But it doesn't make sense! Even if King Shiheung wants to kill the prince, why would he use this method and choose my place? What good does this do to him? If the prince dies, won't he still be the most suspicious?"
"He is not the only one present. Why do you say that he is the most suspicious? You also said that His Majesty is extremely partial to him. If the prince dies, even if he is suspected, he is still the most important prince. Someone else will bear the blame. He The bet is His Majesty’s favor for him.”
"Little lady, this is incredible, this is just your guess!"
Faced with Madam Wei's disbelief, Xiao Jinyu could only smile.
"Then let this be my guess!"
"In the past two years, King Shixing has plundered 19 million yuan from you. Do you know what he used it for?"
"I don't know what he does. The money is always too much."
"Okay, I have one last question..."
Xiao Jinyu said, but seeing Mrs. Wei looking very wary and frightened, she finally chose to remain silent and smiled slightly.
"Forget it, thank you Madam Wei for letting me check the account book today!"
Wei Qi felt extremely regretful at this moment: What kind of head does this little lady have? After reading two years of account books in an hour, she could not only remember the contents above, but also find some clues in the contents.
From now on, we have to work with her on business, so how can we hide a little secret?
And what on earth did she want to ask just now?
Is it possible that she really discovered something?
