Chapter 319 Guess who I saw?
洛府
Although Yucheng had been occupied by the wolf people, Qu Chu didn't feel the tension of the war at all after arriving in Luo Mansion.

It is still the end of summer and early autumn, and the temperature outside is not low, but the streets are still full of people, and there is a constant stream of traffic.

Qu Chu wore a bright red mask and walked with He Dabao on the bustling street.

The two of them were not in a hurry to go to Xuancai Antique Store, but sat down in a restaurant with a wide view.

He Dabao called Xiaoer over and asked:

"I heard that Yucheng has been occupied by the wolf people, but I see that the people on the street don't seem to be a little nervous. What's going on?"

The waiter said: "Is the guest officer from another place?"

He Dabao nodded, "That's right."

The shop boy said:

"I don't know if the guest officer noticed the city wall of Luo Mansion when he entered Luo Mansion City, it is so tall and strong, how could the people from the wolf kingdom attack it?

Since Luofu City is as difficult to attack as Yudu City, it would be more cost-effective for the people of Wolf Country to directly attack Yudu City. "

Xiao Er's words made sense at first glance. If he was purely from the wolf country, he would definitely not go deep into the Luo Mansion, but this is not the case now.

In addition to the wolf countrymen, there is also the thief King Jiangcheng.

But these words are not good to speak to ordinary people now.

He Dabao asked again: "Recently, have a large number of strangers entered the Luo residence?"

The shop boy said:

"The Luo Mansion is so prosperous that there are countless businessmen from all over the country who come and go every day. When they walk on the street, two or three out of ten people are strangers."

He Dabao knew that he couldn't ask any more questions, so he sent the waiter away.

"General, what shall we do next?"

Qu Chudao: "After dinner, go to Gao Ping, bring him to see me, and make plans after asking about the situation in Luo Mansion."

Gao Ping used to be a general of the Northern Frontier Army, and was later arranged by Qu Chu to be the fourth-rank governor of the Luo Mansion due to injury. He has now been promoted to a third-rank guerrilla.

After dinner, the two went to a teahouse next to the restaurant and asked for a private room.Qu Chu waited in the box, and He Dabao went to find Gao Ping.

Qu Chu waited for two full hours, and when she was guessing if something happened to He Dabao, He Dabao came back.

He Dabao picked up the teapot on the table and poured half a pot of water before putting it down.

"General, guess who I saw?"

He Dabao is not a reckless person, on the contrary, he still has some clever little thoughts. He came back so late and didn't bring Gao Ping with him, so he must have encountered something.

Qu Chu cooperated and asked, "Who did you see?"

He Dabao said:

"It's Fang Haisheng.

I first went to Gao Ping. Gao Ping said that it is not convenient to be stared at during the day, and I will see you at night.

On the way back, I happened to meet Fang Haisheng getting off the carriage. He was very alert and looked around several times before entering a grain store in Luofu.

I saw that his expression was not right, so I followed him, but I saw him go out from the back door of the grain store, and then turned to a house on another street.

That house looks no different from other houses in Luo Mansion, but the location is excellent, and the price is definitely not cheap.

I waited outside the house for a long time and didn't see Fang Haisheng coming out, so I wanted to go in and have a look, but as soon as I got close to the house, I felt countless pairs of eyes staring at him. "

Fang Haisheng is the concubine son of the prime minister ahead and the concubine brother of Concubine Fang Gui.

Fang Haichang, the eldest son of Prime Minister Fang, was sentenced to death for embezzling a huge amount of silver when he was in the Jianghuai Salt Transport Co.

It's not surprising that He Dabao found Fang Haisheng here, and it's not surprising that Fang Haisheng has a private house in a prosperous area, but it's a bit strange that this private house is so heavily guarded.

Qu Chu remembered that Ning Youbei told her about Fang's family before, saying that Fang Haichang's greedy money was not given to the third prince, but to other people.

I thought that all the money was given to Ning Youdi, but after I asked Ning Youdi, the money was a bit wrong, and he only took half of it.

The reason why Fang Haichang gave the silver to Ning Youdi was because Ning Youdi caught the Fang family's handle: Prime Minister Fang's grandfather was an aristocrat of the wolf country, and a spy sent by the wolf country to Dayu country.

When the emperor knew the news, he kept it secret. First, the Fang family had already dealt with it, and second, he was considering the identity of the third prince, and there was no evidence that Prime Minister Fang had directly betrayed Dayu Kingdom.

Now that Fang Haisheng is so mysterious, did he hook up with the wolf country again?
Thinking of this, Qu Chu said to He Dabao: "Let's visit that house after passing through Gaoping in Tongling tonight."

……

That night, Qu Chu met Gao Ping.

Gao Ping is a strong man in his 40s, who looks like he was born in the army.

Seeing Qu Chu, Gao Ping first gave a respectful military salute: "General."

Qu Chu looked Gao Ping up and down, "It seems that you are doing well."

Gao Ping smiled heartily, "It's all thanks to the general, now that he is married to his wife, he will have both children."

He Dabao added next to it: "Not only married a wife, but also took a concubine."

When He Dabao said this, Gao Ping's face turned red.

"It's not that I want to take a concubine, it's because I went to the boss's banquet once, got drunk and slept with a maid, and the boss gave me the maid, so I had no choice but to accept her.

For this reason, my wife and I had a quarrel for more than a month. "

After finishing speaking, Gao Ping didn't forget to say a word about He Dabao: "Dabao, you are not too young, are you still a child?"

He Dabao glanced at Qu Chu, his face flushed: "Who is a young chicken? I don't know how many girls are chasing me in Yudu. I just don't want to get married because I find it troublesome."

Qu Chu thought about it.

Gao Ping is a third-rank guerrilla, and among the officials in the Luo Mansion, there are not many superiors. Whose maid did he take as his concubine?

"Whose banquet did you go to and sleep with his maid?"

Gao Ping said: "It's the Lord of the Luo Mansion."

Qu Chudao: "I called you here today to ask about the situation of these officials in the Luo Mansion. You told me in detail."

Gao Ping straightened his expression and spoke seriously.

"I have been in Luo Mansion for several years, and I didn't feel anything unusual before, but I don't know if it is my illusion recently, I always feel that I am being stared at by two eyes.

So when Dabao found me during the day, I didn't dare to follow him out, for fear of being followed.I just came here after avoiding turning around a few times. "

According to Gao Ping:
The Lord of Luofu City is friendly and usually has no airs. He likes to hold banquets for subordinate officials and their families.

His wife came from a wealthy family, and owned quite a lot of property. There were more than [-] shops in the bustling streets of Luofu, and they were engaged in businesses such as grain, tea, silk, gold, silver and jade.

The guard of the Luo Mansion is the opposite of the city lord of the Luo Mansion, he is a cold and dignified person.His ancestor was a military officer, he once won the first prize in the martial arts examination, and he has served as the guard of Luo Mansion for three years.
