Leng Wang Yu's Wife: The Concubine of the Black Belly

Chapter 240 Looking Through the Ledger
Shangguan Mu felt that Bai Xiu's friendship with Xu Yun could be seen from every answer of Bai Xiu's.The answer to the first question is to ask first, and then decide whether to take Xu Yun back to the palace. The second answer is that as long as he hears a reasonable explanation, he will choose to believe it.

It seems that for friends, these are not the wrong places.But the problem is that this matter is not only related to friendship, but also related to the life and death of Huaer and Qiutang.If Xu Yun really let them find out, in his own mind, he would decide to take him back to the palace for interrogation.

Because if Xu Yun really appeared, it seemed to be a clue, and the clue should not be left elsewhere.

"Bai Xiu, you should go back home, I don't think it's suitable for you to intervene in the investigation."

Previously, Shangguan Mu was only thinking about this matter, and didn't tell Bai Xiu and Rong Ziqing directly.He just said that he might not be helpful in finding clues, but now he said seriously that he should not investigate any more.

Rong Ziqing was really surprised when he said this, because it was more serious than all the questions and words just now.And these words seemed to directly tell Bai Xiu not to get involved in this matter.I was still thinking in my heart just now, although I also felt such a thought, but I didn't say it clearly.

But now, it's all clear.For Bai Xiu, it seemed that the last layer of cover was gone.And Shangguan Mu's ruthless attitude seemed to make Bai Xiu feel that he was really no longer fit to investigate the disappearance of Princess Rong and Qiutang.

Bai Xiu looked at Shangguan Mu's face, wanted to say a few more words that he wanted to stay, and then said to them: "This matter is related to Princess Rong and Qiutang's disappearance, and it has something to do with Xu Yun. I want to find out. Tan, know all the process."

Although Rong Ziqing and Shangguan Mu stood together when it came to answering Bai Xiu's question.But now that Bai Xiu was asked to withdraw, Rong Ziqing still wanted him to stay.

"Master Bai and I have been searching for clues for a long time, and we have made unannounced visits to many places together. I think that if Master Bai investigates the case together, even if it can't get twice the result with half the effort, it will at least keep things from stagnating."

Rong Ziqing used Bai Xiu's long investigation time as an excuse to tell Shangguan Mu that maybe Bai Xiu was the most suitable person for investigation.Because it has been investigated for a long time, Bai Xiu has been investigating since the first painting left.Even though he was sick at that time, Bai Xiu didn't stop.

Bai Xiu's understanding of this matter can be said to be better than anyone else's, because Bai Xiu intervened when the matter started, but how could he be asked not to participate at this critical moment?
It seems that it shouldn't be, but Rong Ziqing thinks that Shangguan Mu should think that Bai Xiu can't solve the problem calmly, and he will inevitably let Xu Yun go for other reasons.Therefore, I feel that it is not suitable to investigate the case again.

"I was not there before, but now I am. The entire Shangguan Villa can be used to investigate this matter. I believe that without Bai Xiu, there will be no big difference."

What Shangguan Mu said seemed to be very angry, and it didn't feel arrogant, because he had such ability.Indeed, the eldest lady of Shangguan Villa is missing, and the person in charge of Shangguan Villa is her brother, so naturally Shangguan Villa is someone who can be dispatched.

Hearing this, Bai Xiu felt that Shangguan Mu's resoluteness was because he felt that he would affect the next plan, and Shangguan Mu's voice was also telling himself that even without himself, the investigation could continue.

Rong Ziqing seemed to want to say a few more words for Bai Xiu, but Bai Xiu said first: "Although I really want to continue the investigation, if Mr. Shangguan thinks that I can't handle the clues and things well, then I am willing to go back. The government is waiting for news."

When Bai Xiu said this, blood seemed to drip from his broken heart.Because he didn't want to leave, but Shangguan Mu's attitude was obvious, and he really couldn't deal with Xu Yun, so maybe he should go back to the mansion.

Bai Xiu really didn't want to listen to Rong Ziqing's excuses and Shangguan Mu's problems with him. After Bai Xiu said such a thing, he was willing to go back and wait for the news from them.

Rong Ziqing seemed to see Bai Xiu's mood when he was speaking, but since Bai Xiu had said it, it might be good to rest for a few days.He said to Bai Xiu: "Master Bai, then you can go back and rest for a few days. If there is any news, I will come and tell you."

Bai Xiu said to Rong Ziqing, "Okay."

Then, Bai Xiu left Ningxiang Pavilion.Today, Bai Xiu entered Ningxiang Pavilion twice and left Ningxiang Pavilion twice.But every time I feel sad, this time it is the same.

It seems that it is almost noon now, and the sun is very abundant, even brighter than in the morning.Bai Xiu feels that going to the palace is not a good choice now, so let's go back to the White Mansion according to everyone's wishes.

With a very sad mood, Bai Xiu walked towards his White Mansion.There were many people on the street, but in Bai Xiu's eyes, no one seemed to know him.But Bai Xiu would ask himself: "How many people do you really know?"

I thought I knew Xu Yun before, but now, do you know him?Probably superficial understanding.Qiutang, where are you?If you were by my side now, maybe I wouldn't be so sad, and you would definitely comfort me.

After Bai Xiu left, Shangguan Mu called his assistant to ask. There are many details that Shangguan Mu still needs to ask.

"Sir Shangguan, do you have anything to ask me?" The guy's attitude was very good, and he might treat Shangguan Mu as if he was Miss Shangguan.

Miss Shangguan is a good master, so her brother must also be a good person.

Rong Ziqing just looked at Shangguan Mu, and always felt that after Shangguan Mu came, some issues that he had neglected before would become clearer.

"Every time someone buys rouge or ointment here, is there a record?" Shangguan Mu asked about the account.

Because it seems that many things will show a trace of problems in the accounts.Ningxiang Pavilion has been open in the capital for a long time, and every time people who come to buy things may not be taken away at that time, even if they were taken away at that time, in order to understand their survival, there will always be traces in the accounts.

Rong Ziqing thought about this, as if he and Bai Xiu had never considered this issue.

The clerk replied: "Yes, Miss Shangguan has always asked me to write down the quantity and variety of customers' purchases."

Shangguan Mu asked the buddy, "Show us."

The guy said, "OK."

Then he went to get the account book and handed it to Shangguan Mu.Shangguan Mu took the ledger and flipped through it page by page.

After reading it, Shangguanmu casually handed the ledger to Rong Ziqing, and said to him, "Let's take a look."

Rong Ziqing took the account book, read it carefully, and then said to Shangguan Mu: "This account book is all correct. Since our investigation, although Master Bai and I have never thought of reading the account book. Now it seems that, The buddy is right."

Shangguan Mu said: "According to the contents of the ledger, the most suspicious thing is that a large number of questionable rouge and ointment were bought."

Shangguan Mu's eyes felt a little frightening. I don't know if it was because the clue was almost broken, or because of other reasons.Rong Ziqing seemed to be sighing inwardly, because he didn't see anything.

As a result, until the evening, there were no doubtful ladies, and the men who went around did not find any clues.Today, it seems that there is no progress.Yesterday there was something about Xu Yun, but today I found nothing.

Shangguan Mu felt very unhappy, and Rong Ziqing was the same, but no matter what, he still wanted to tell Su Changmo and Sheng Wanyu, so he entered the palace during dinner.

Rong Ziqing originally thought that Bai Xiu would also go, so he didn't send anyone to the White House.Walked from the gate of the palace to Nianwan Palace, and finally entered Sheng Wanyu's room.

At this time, Sheng Wanyu was supposed to be eating, but she didn't expect that she was taking medicine now.Su Changmo sat beside Sheng Wanyu, watching her drink the medicine.Su Changmo didn't know if the medicine was very bitter, but medicine always smelled like medicine.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty." Rong Ziqing's voice came from the door, it was he and Shangguan Mu who had returned, but there was no sign of Bai Xiu.
