Splendid Abandoned Wife

Chapter 383 Breakthrough
In this way, the meal came to an end in an atmosphere that was half happy and half weird. Zhiruo solemnly asked Luoshuang to apologize to Pan Jiaming. In her opinion, this was the most important main course of the meal.

Pan Jiaming obviously didn't think so. He waved his hand casually: "Then what are you doing seriously? If you don't fight, you won't get to know each other. Now that you call me second brother, there is no need to be so hostile anymore. It's also my previous attitude that was bad. Some, you maid will target me, right? That's it, that's it."

Except for Xiao Feng's words "golden boy and beautiful girl", which made him feel troubled, Qi Mubai actually had nothing bad to do, and he liked her very well. Besides, he might have done them a big favor today.Although the truth has not been revealed yet and can only be said to be maybe, but based on various signs, he still has confidence in his heart.

Before, their eyes were blinded and their thinking was limited, so they always seemed to be wandering in a maze. Qi Mubai's few words of guidance were like a spark of light in the darkness, allowing them to find a breakthrough out of the maze.For this reason, there is no reason for him to hold on to those golden beads, right?

In other words, not only did he stop grabbing her, he was also very grateful to Luoshuang. If she hadn't done this, he really wouldn't have had a good chance to sit down and have a good talk with Qi Mubai.

"Second Brother Pan is very magnanimous, and Mu Bai is very grateful." Zhiruo cupped his hand, "It's fate that we met the two brothers. When the Immortal Residence opens in the capital, even if Mu Bai doesn't go there in person, he will be given the highest rank. Two VIP cards. If you two brothers have any special instructions, you can tell the shopkeeper, and he will try his best to meet your requirements, even custom-made and specially designed on a regular basis."

For the warmth that Pan Jiaming made her feel today, so what if the Immortal Palace bought all the clothes of these two people in the future?These two are both handsome men with rare clothes. If they both wear clothes from the Immortal Palace, wouldn't they be special models that others can't even hire with high salaries?hehe.

"That's a good relationship," Xiao Feng said with a smile and cupped his hands, "I'm just waiting for the opening of the Immortal Residence in Beijing. See you later, third brother!" He would not admit it, but at this moment he felt a very pleasant feeling of getting what he wanted. Feel.He has always disliked using maids, and the only one who served him closely was a boy who grew up as a book boy. He used to take care of his own clothes, but in the future, he handed them over to his direct descendants, asking them to leave some for him regularly according to his preferences. Wouldn’t it save worry and effort?
Pan Jiaming also nodded and said goodbye. He didn't care much about clothes and had someone take care of them himself. However, looking at Qi Mubai's clothes that highlighted his temperament and added two extra points of style to him, he thought to himself: It seems not bad.

After returning to the Qi family's house, Luoshuang couldn't hold back her curiosity and asked: "Master, is it true that you have that kind of dwarfism? You will never grow taller in your life?" Not only had she never seen it, she had never heard of it. Pass.She had also seen the child in front of Moya Zhai just now. If the master hadn't said so, she would never have suspected that it was not a real child.

"Of course," Zhiruo nodded, "I heard my father say before that there was a son of a wealthy family in the border town who gave birth to a son like that. When he was eleven or twelve years old, he still looked like a five or six-year-old child. The owner of the family found out that he might be different from ordinary people. , fearing that someone would find out that there was a monster in their family, they kept the child in a small courtyard in the back garden, and told the public that the child had been sent to a relative's home to recuperate.

Later, when the child grew up to sixteen or seventeen years old, his appearance and intelligence were exactly that of a young man, but his height still did not increase a little. His parents gave up and were worried that the news about their son would affect the marriages of other children, so they gave him to him personally. His son administered the fatal poison.Unexpectedly, not long after, an eldest maid of the house owner climbed into bed and was sold by the mistress, and the matter was revealed. "

Zhiruo's story is half true and half false. The boy her father Yin Zhao said was indeed locked up in a side hospital by his family because of his weird appearance. It was also true that he was killed by his biological parents, but it was not dwarfism, but triloboma. The mouth, that is, the harelip.Moreover, the child was almost strangled to death by his grandfather as soon as he was born. His mother couldn't bear it after all, so she hid him in a small side courtyard and raised him, but he told the outside world that he had died early.Later, a bed-crawling maid for sale discovered and exposed the fact that the mistress had a monster son. In order to prevent the boy from being exposed to the public and affecting the family reputation and the marriage of other children, the boy's parents personally poisoned him.

In ancient times, there were not too many such things, so many strange cases, including congenital malformations, were not known to outsiders because they would be hidden or even strangled from the beginning.

Due to the lack of understanding of these diseases that are beyond current medical understanding, everyone classifies them as monsters, which not only affects their parents and siblings, but even the reputation of the entire family will be damaged. People will say that this family has suffered evil and suffered. Only the punishment from God will give birth to monsters.Or some people think that there is something wrong with the bloodline of this family, and marrying someone with such a bloodline will continue to give birth to monsters.

Therefore, people with all kinds of unknown strange diseases, especially infants and young children with congenital strange diseases, once discovered, nine out of ten will be "solved" early, including the maids, mothers-in-law, midwives and the like who are involved. They will all be silenced.

Even Zhiruo, before recovering his modern memory, including his previous life, did not know about dwarfs. It is normal for him to be in disbelief.However, Pan Jiaming and Xiao Feng must have heard of such symptoms, and they obviously believed her suspicions and speculations and started to investigate.

"Pan Shizi and the others are obviously here because of the Liangjiang salt tax issue. I heard that an imperial envoy came last year, but nothing was found." Luoying always thought more than Luoshuang, "What if that child is really a dwarf?" The adult with the disease must be related to the Liangjiang salt tax and the Wu family case." Otherwise, Pan Shizi would not be so cautious and eager to immediately order people to investigate.When she left the ****, she saw Shijo waiting at the door giving a hint to Pan Shizi, and it was obvious that arrangements had been made.

Zhiruo nodded: "Contact the people in the Changyang branch and ask them to pay attention to this matter." They will leave Changyang tomorrow, but she wants to know the progress of this case and the reactions of all parties.Although people from the Beijing branch will look for traces of Uncle Jin from the Wang family, Changyang cannot relax.Something is wrong with the salt tax, and it also involves an old case of the Wu family. Can the master behind Mr. Yu and Uncle Jin be able to bear it?

Luoying quickly agreed. She also wanted to pay attention to this matter and bring the Wang family and Dai family into trouble. She had lived up to Wu Minjun's trust and was worthy of Mrs. Wu's kindness to the two sisters and their sisters' relationship with the Wu family's master and servant. The affection of the field.

As the master and servant Zhiruo expected, Pan Jiaming had already received the news from his people.What made the person responsible for keeping an eye on the mother and son extremely ashamed was that the child was not really a seven or eight-year-old child, but an adult man who could "bully" women and girls in the backyard of Mo Yazhai.The women he "bullied" were not only the maid who used to sort old books in front of the shop, but also his so-called "widow mother".They had really lost their eyes before. Although the "child" had a clean shaven face, you could still see it if you paid close attention. His face was not as delicate as that of a real child.Why didn't they pay attention before?Why do you take it for granted that he is shy and afraid of seeing strangers, so he always keeps his head down?
Fortunately, the prince suddenly discovered the flaw and gave them direction. Only then did they realize that Moya Zhai was also a den of thieves.From what those people said, it can be judged that the widowed mother, the shopkeeper of Moya Zhai and the maid are all subordinates of the "little boy". This four-person team is their master's secret agent and dead soldier stationed in Changyang. Their mission is to monitor Supervise Wang Wenshan and Dai Pinchao to contact the master and guard the underground warehouse.

"It is said," Shijo said with excitement, "Recently, several boxes of property are going to the underground warehouse. They were delivered by Commander Jin himself. Should we replace them again?" It's so interesting to see the civet cat changing for the prince. He Could it be said that he really wanted to see the expressions of those people, especially their master, when he opened the box and saw the whole box of stones?

Pan Jiaming hit Si Tiao on the head with a fan and sneered coldly: "Are you addicted to stealing and exchanging pillars? Aren't you tired of moving rocks? This time we will carry them in one pot with everyone and everything."

"That's right." Xiao Feng, who was immersed in looking at the account book, raised his head, "Although there is another account book that has not been found, the account book in Wang Wenshan's house that was intercepted by Wu Minjun is obviously the most important one, even if it is the third one If we can't find it, we can basically calculate the amount of salt tax shortfall in the past five years, plus the three letters that came with the account book, as well as the testimony of Dai Pinchao's aunt's servant who had her eyes gouged out, Dai Pinchao and Wang Wenshan The evidence of the crime is enough. If it is true that everyone in the small courtyard can get everything, it would be a pity to lose this opportunity." Of course, it would be best to find the third account book online, but if this measure is a good opportunity, wouldn't it be because of the small courtyard? Big loss?

The task the emperor gave them was to find out the loopholes in Liangjiang's salt tax and the evidence of Dai Pinchao's crime, that is, the true account book.Now they have the two account books and three letters in hand, as well as witnesses, physical evidence, and stolen goods. They have overfulfilled the task.If he had looked forward and backward, and allowed "Uncle Jin" to escape, I'm afraid it would be difficult to catch him again. That kind of person is not that easy to track.

They didn't alert the snake before, just to find the account books and track down the clues of the mastermind behind the scenes.Now that two-thirds of the account book has been found, and knowing that "Uncle Jin" is a big fish and an important clue, naturally he cannot let go of the opportunity to gain both the stolen goods and the stolen goods.

Pan Jiaming nodded: "This time we have to catch the snake directly, but don't worry, before that, maybe we can still find the third account book. Haha, why don't we go there again tonight?"

One more trip?Where to go?Xiao Feng was stunned for a moment, and then he relaxed his frown: "You mean the tomboy's study room?" How could that perverted dwarf have the intention to study?But there are quite a lot of books in his study.There are so many books, it's really cheap to hide an account book among them.

"Well," Pan Jiaming nodded, "If it's not there, then there's only Moya Zhai." According to Xiao Feng's conclusion, the last account book should have detailed records of "deficit", and the gold bars and silver ingots in the same warehouse should be Correspondingly, such an account book is naturally best placed together with the property.

Xiao Feng strongly agreed and said with a smile: "Okay, we will go again tonight, but we will waste two more tuberoses on you. Not to mention, Qi Mubai is really our nobleman, a descendant of Qi Jin and Qi Qi. Sure enough, it's not simple. How could he think that the dwarf was an adult suffering from dwarfism?" When they saw the dwarf's behavior, they just thought it was strange. At most, they would only think that the kid had read the sage's book in vain, and He has a bad temperament, but Qi Mubai can immediately think of the key to the problem.Isn't it?No matter how bad-natured or naughty a seven- or eight-year-old child is, he can't do that, right?

"How can it be easy to become famous all over the country in just one year?" Pan Jiaming pursed his lips, "Although he is younger than us, he may not have seen fewer people and things than us."

Listening to what Qi Mubai said, he had a feeling that Qi Mubai had experienced a lot and had experience and sophistication far beyond his years.He was testing Qi Mubai and trying to trick him. Could it be that Qi Mubai was testing him and using him to spread the word?That person is too transparent, or in other words, too cunning!Like a little fox that looks cute and harmless but is extremely clever.

However, there is no businessman without treachery. As long as he is truly transparent and not confused, as he said, he only focuses on doing business and rebuilding the glory of "Golden Qi", the emperor will not mind whether he is ruthless or cunning.

In the past, Yin Zhao was a feared "black-faced killer" on the battlefield. He was decisive and ruthless in killing. However, the emperor never paid attention to similar rumors or impeachments. Once in the morning, he even killed Yin Zhao in front of all the civil and military officials. The memorial to impeach Yin Zhao for being "too cruel and notorious for making children cry at night" hit the censor in the face, and roared: "Do you want our general of Da Ying to be merciful to the enemy? Do you want me to be more merciful?" Some, surrendering the throne and the country of Great Ying to the Usoland Kingdom?" The heart-breaking reprimand frightened the censor to the point where he almost lost control on the spot.

To this day, the emperor still talks about the fact that Da Ying may not lack military generals, but it really lacks evil spirits like Yin Zhao who can suppress evil spirits and make him feel at ease.It's a pity that in a moment of thought, the evil spirit disappeared, and I regretted it too much.He was not sure whether the "one thought" mentioned by the emperor was referring to himself or Yin Zhao. If it was his own "one thought", what kind of thought would cause the irreversible changes in the Zhenbei General's Mansion.

The Queen seems to know something, but...He knew the Queen's aunt very well, so he never tried to ask the answer.

In any case, the past can only pass, and asking for the answer cannot bring Yin Zhao back to life or prove Yin Zhao's innocence.In other words, the emperor's failure to follow the trend and confirm Yin Zhao's serious crime of treason already shows great trust in Yin Zhao and Princess Qianxin.
