Chapter 18 Denial from his wife
Jiang Shouzhong walked out of the courtyard and approached him with a shoehorned face.
"How about Xiao Jiang, the people in Yinyue Tower didn't make things difficult for you, right? If you don't come out, Master Jia, I will rush in and ask for someone."
"Do you dare?"
Jiang Shouzhong glanced at him.
Lu Renjia had a sullen face and said nothing. After walking far away, he immediately spat out saliva and said:
"What are you afraid of? Master Jia, I have been traveling all over the country for so many years, and all the big and small families and sects have their own people. , A Yin Yue Tower is nothing, even if their boss comes, he still has to give me three points of face."
"Brother Lu, the female guard didn't give me any face just now."
Zhang Yunwu reminded in a silly voice.
Master Jia pretended not to hear, coughed dryly, turned to Jiang Shouzhong and asked: "Xiao Jiang, have you got any clues?"
Jiang Shouzhong nodded and expressed his guess.
"Blackmail the monster?"
Lu Renjia was stunned when he heard this, and was greatly surprised, "Is Ge Dasheng so bold?"
Jiang Shouzhong said: "Gamblers lose quickly. He can do anything. It's also possible that he didn't know that the other party was a monster, but he just saw something he shouldn't have seen, and then he became interested in blackmail. Otherwise, he wouldn't have gone to the Taoist temple alone in the middle of the night."
Lu Renjia rubbed his cold hands, put them into his sleeves and asked, "Then how should we check next?"
"Let the Yamen send more people to continue questioning people who have been in contact with Ge Dasheng, and find out in detail where Ge Dasheng has been in the past few days. There will always be clues."
Jiang Shouzhong added, "Especially He is someone with whom the gambling house has a good relationship. Please inquire carefully."
"Okay, I'll talk to Lao Liao and ask him to send more brothers."
Zhang Yunwu nodded.
The old Liao he mentioned was the head of the Jingxian County Government.
Zhang Yunwu once had a good relationship with him when he was a county police officer. Whenever he needed help from the government in investigating a case, Zhang Yunwu would go to him.
Lu Renjia frowned slightly, "Speaking of which, those people in the Yamen seem to have been procrastinating a lot recently, but they are very attentive to other people. Is it because we haven't invited them to dinner for a long time."
< br>Although the status of Liumen is higher than that of the local county government, the two are interdependent.
Many cases require the help of low-level government officials to run errands.
So some hall masters in Six Gates will take time to treat the government officials to dinner, or give them some benefits, so that they will actively assist you in handling the case.
After all, in today's society, whether in court or in the world, one must be sophisticated.
Li Nanshuang disdained this trick.
Only Jiang Shouzhong and the others can pave the way for human kindness.
Zhang Yunwu scratched his head and said: "No need, Lao Liao and I have a very good relationship."
"If we have a good relationship, we can't always use it for consumption."
Lu Renjia was a little angry at Zhang Yunwu for being such a fool, and poked Jiang Shouzhong with his elbow, "Xiao Jiang, why don't you find a time to invite Lao Liao and his brothers to Chunyu Tower to play? What do you think?"
"Well, sure."
Jiang Shouzhong said expressionlessly, "Then you must ask me to go to the boss to ask for more public funds, right? Then you can do the favor, and you can still do it. It can bring business and customers to the young ladies in Chunyu Tower, and win the laughter of beauties.”
“Oh, Xiao Jiang understands me best.”
The little calculation in my heart was revealed. Lu Renjia was not stunned and admitted shamelessly.
Lu Renjia held Jiang Shouzhong's sign language and said earnestly:
"Such a difficult task of asking for money will be left to you. Lao Zhang and I will definitely support you silently from behind."
......
Dusk is approaching, and the clouds, reddened by the rays of the sun, are like elegant brocade, flowing in the sky.
In the slightly dark study room, red candles have already been lit.
The candle flame was slightly drunk, and the yellow light was scattered on the desk like pearls, reflecting the deep ink marks of Juan Xiu's handwriting on the paper.
The woman lowered her head and wrote quickly in front of the case, with a few messy locks of hair in front of her forehead covering her eyebrows. Under the candlelight, the skin on her beautiful neck was even whiter than the silk scarf.
In the study room, the faint fragrance of calligraphy creates a sense of tranquility.
"Dong dong~" A slight knock on the door broke the silence of the study.
Ran Qingchen rubbed her arms that were tired from writing for a long time, and said in a sweet and cold voice: "Come in."
The door of the room opened and a delicate-looking maid walked in.
The maid held a roster in her hands.
"Miss, this is the recommended list sent by Mr. Yuan Anjiang, the Second Supervisor of the Yamen Governor's Office."
The maid said softly.
"Well, put it there."
Ran Qingchen responded casually and continued to write with his head down.
The maid carefully placed the roster on the table, retreated quietly, and closed the door.
The study became silent again.
After a long time, Ran Qingchen put down the pen, waited for the ink marks on the paper to dry, folded it and put it in an envelope, preparing to send someone to Qingzhou early tomorrow morning.
Recalling the case that happened in Qingzhou not long ago, the woman rubbed her white and delicate forehead tiredly, feeling a little irritated.
It is really difficult to handle this case involving his sworn sister, the Imperial Concubine.
It’s impossible not to do it.
Others can find various reasons to refuse, but she cannot.
We can only blame the devil named Qu Hongling for her domineering behavior and killing an official of the imperial court. Even though the official position has been removed, it finally caused the imperial court to lose face.
If I can meet him this time in Qingzhou, I would like to see what this young master of the Heavenly Demon Sect is capable of.
Somewhere, Ran Qingchen had an intuition.
Perhaps this woman named Qu Hongling will be her old enemy.
Looking at the sky outside, Ran Qingchen sighed softly and prepared to go back to the room to rest for a while. When she stood up, the woman accidentally glanced at the roster that the maid had just sent.
"Yuan Anjiang..."
Ran Qingchen hesitated for a moment and took the roster.
She opened the roster and glanced at it briefly. Her eyes suddenly paused, and her slender, moon-like eyebrows slightly frowned.
[Feng Lei Tang, Jiang Mo]
Ran Qingchen lowered his neck and closed his eyes, his slender white jade fingers like peeling onions gently tapping the line of words, his expression showing a somewhat complicated expression.
That heavy marriage letter came to mind again.
What came to mind was grandma's sincere instructions.
"Qingchen, grandma knows that you are unwilling to do so, but no matter you like him or not, this uncle... we must recognize each other in the Ran family!"
The woman stood up and opened the window sash. .
The cold wind blows in.
The extremely fine hair strands dance silently like flowing water.
The yellow and white candle flame on the table was swaying wildly, as if it was about to go out, just like her state of mind at the moment.
Ran Qingchen stared at the red clouds in the sky, stunned.
From the moment she held the sword, she was destined to pursue the supreme swordsmanship in her life. It would be fine if my husband was a talented practitioner with good foundation.
But he is a mediocre person, how can she be willing to do so.
After standing there for a long time, she returned to the desk.
The beautiful and unstained snow dimples are reflected beautifully by the candlelight flames, and mist is faintly visible in the corners of the eyes.
The woman raised her wrist to pick up a pen and put a few strokes into the inkstone, bit her plump lips, and crossed out the words "Feng Lei Tang, Jiang Mo" repeatedly.
“You can’t!”
Thanks to Miyazawa Suzuzakura for the reward
