Picking up a beautiful man to be your husband

Chapter 38 Strange Master and Servant
Shui Wuyu drank tea and said to Hao Xue: "The governor is in charge of the whole state, and the sheriff is in charge of a county."

"Oh~ the governor of Lingbei Prefecture is the biggest official in Lingbei Prefecture, and Lingbei Prefecture is composed of several counties, that is, there are several county guards!" Hao Xue laughed.

"En." Shui Wuyu nodded, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing. I heard some people talking about the biggest official in Lingbei Prefecture today. I don't understand, so I understand."

Hao Xue lowered her head and grabbed a piece of fruit to give to the little rice, ignoring the water and rain.She didn't want him to know that she was bullied again today, it was too embarrassing.

Shui Wuyu saw that she avoided it intentionally, and knew that she didn't want him to ask.She wondered if she met Wei Minjie and Zheng Rushui again?
He naturally knew the identities of Wei Minjie and Zheng Rushui. Now that Hao Xue asked about the official positions of governor and sheriff, it seems that she probably met those two young ladies outside today.

He knew that Wei Minjie was unreasonable, and he didn't like dealing with officials unless necessary.

Shui Wuyu hopes that Hao Xue will take the initiative to talk to him, whether it is to complain about grievances or complain, he does not want Hao Xue to hold back and not tell him if there is something wrong, he does not like this feeling of being isolated.

"Xue'er, I'm sorry, I've been busy recently, so I didn't worry about you and Xiaodaozi. It will be the Lingbei Prefecture's festival soon, and it will be very lively. Let me take you for a stroll! Xiaodaozi must like it." Shui Wuyu smiled and invited Hao Xue.

"Okay! Hehe~ Wuyu is too polite, we have already disturbed you a lot by living here, so we don't have to apologize, let's go together when you're done!"

Of course Hao Xue is fine, being able to go shopping with Shui Wuyu feels like a date, hehe!She is looking forward to it!
Hao Xue went to look for Mo Yin again in the morning, and Mo Yin had been waiting for her early in the morning.

"Mo Yin, how's the investigation going?" Hao Xue asked curiously.

Mo Yin replied: "Master, then Li Yue often goes in and out of Baixianglou, and meets the red card Qingsha of Baixianglou. The two seem to be in a master-servant relationship..."

"Master-servant relationship?"

Hao Xue held her chin in her hand, a maid from a brothel woman went to work as a errand in a jewelry store, and even worked as a beggar to inquire about various information before going into business. This is so strange!
For what?

"...Master, after my subordinates observed last night, that Qingsha is actually a man disguised as a woman!"

"Oh... Nani?... Did you just say something?!"

Mo Yin then dropped another breaking news, Hao Xue was already shocked.

A man dresses up as a woman to work in a brothel, and his maid dresses up as a man to do business in a shop. Have they reversed their positions?
"Why why... ah?" Hao Xue grabbed Mo Yin's arm and shook it, she was so curious that she wanted to ask that Qingsha directly, what exactly was he trying to do?
"Master, the specific reason is not yet clear. That Qingsha knows martial arts and is not weak. It is not suitable for subordinates to investigate closely."

"Hmm~" Hao Xue calmed down and thought about it for a while. The most important thing now is to find out who killed Li Yue.

Hao Xue said: "Then how is the investigation of Li Yue's death? Does the murderer have clues?"

"Master, Li Yue was originally Qingsha's servant named Yueji. Her death was related to Qingsha. I still don't know who killed Yueji. I am ashamed." Mo Yin bowed his head and apologized.

Hao Xue looked at him: "It doesn't matter, you are not a policeman, this Qingsha must have a dark secret, Yueji's death is related to him, you go and keep an eye on Qingsha for me, and tell me if there is any suspicious movement." I... By the way, I live in the water mansion in the east of the city, in the courtyard on the east side. If you have important matters and can't wait for me to come to you, go there to find me. There are some masters in the water mansion, you can avoid them Contact me?"

"Yes, no problem!" Moyin agreed.

Hao Xue nodded, confessed a few words, and went to deal with the business in the store.The time she will be in Lingbei State is uncertain, so it has to be done quickly.

Hao Xue left the inn and went to look for Yashang.She needs to recruit a few people to work, and she has to pay wages after thinking about recruiting people. Anyway, human trafficking is legal here, wouldn't it save a lot of trouble to simply buy a few people?

After finding Yazi, Yazi took Hao Xue to see people and asked her to choose someone.

The servants bought from Yazi are different from those in the slave market.The slave market is a secret transaction, most of the 'goods' are of unknown origin, and the 'goods' of the deceiver are tainted.The people in Yashang are legal on the surface, and they all have a clear background.

Hao Xue ordered a few favorites and asked them about their backgrounds.According to Ya people, some came from refugees, some were prostituted by poor families, and some were born illegitimately by brothel girls.

Hao Xue questioned them one by one, and felt that they were not lying, so she bought them.

Four men and two women.

One, surnamed Lu.I heard that I served the master in a rich family before, but I offended the people in the house and was kicked out.How could someone who was kicked out dare to take her to work?There was no other way, Mother Lu had to sell herself to survive.

She is the cheapest among the five. Firstly, she was kicked out of the mansion, and because of her bad reputation, no one dared to use her.Second, she is getting older.

Hao Xue didn't realize how old she was, she was less than 45 years old, such a person has experience and skills, and she is the most expert.She doesn't care about her reputation, as long as she is loyal to her in the future.

For this, Lu Memo is very grateful. When Hao Xue said she wanted her, she knelt down and kowtowed to thank her on the spot, which made Hao Xue almost unable to calm down.

A 12-year-old girl named Miao Er.There are many people in the family, so I sold her. She was resold from other cities and counties. She has a pretty appearance, thin and small, and her eyes are a little dull.

An eight-year-old boy was born to a woman in a brothel.

He was abandoned and adopted since he was a child, and he has experienced several families, and he understands the warmth and coldness of human relationships.His thin and young body has been malnourished for a long time, and his complexion is a little yellow. His pair of black and bright round eyes show his cleverness, and he knows how to act on people's faces.This child is sensible!
Hao Xuekan named him Shi Jiaer.

The other three men, one surnamed Zeng and one surnamed Liu.They are all honest countrymen who left their hometowns and came here because of the background of the previous disaster. They didn't find any work, so they had to sell themselves to survive.

There is also a man surnamed Du who has been in prison.

He said he committed the crime of theft and was sentenced to two years in prison, but it is said that there is no physical evidence, only witnesses.Needless to say, Guess knew he was wronged.

After he came out, no one with a criminal record would dare to use him, he could only do tiring and hard work in exchange for a few bites of food.I don't always have work, and I have to sell myself to eat.

Hao Xue bought them all, took them to the store where she bought them, bought uniforms for them, and told them to wash them up before letting them eat.

After everyone was full, Hao Xue ordered them to order Lu Memo to take care of them, and Lu Memo would take care of them when Hao Xue was away.

Then he ordered them to live in the store temporarily and clean the store.

I was also tired this day, so Hao Xue left after giving orders, thinking that I would assign tasks tomorrow.

Hao Xue returned to the water house, met the housekeeper, and asked the housekeeper about the situation of the water and no rain.

The housekeeper said he might not be home until late.Hao Xue thought that he must be busy with the goods in the palace, and was worried about him, but there was nothing she could do, so she could only believe that he would solve it.

Hao Xue went back to her room, checked Xiaodaozi's homework as usual, then had dinner, took care of Xiaodaozi and let him lie down, then she thought about what to do tomorrow.

Hao Xue thought about whether to ask Shui Wuyu for some business advice. After thinking about it, she should do it on her own first, and then ask him if it fails.

The next day, Hao Xue got up early in the morning to find Shui Wuyu, and had breakfast with him.

Most of the time when she woke up, she had already gone out to work without rain, which made her feel so ashamed, as a guest, she should also care about the host.

"I've been busy recently, so I haven't looked at Xiaodaozi. I wonder how he's doing?"

After breakfast, Shui Wuyu asked Hao Xue while holding a cup of tea, with a faint warm smile on his lips, which showed that he was in a good mood.

Today, he also planned to go out after eating something. Because Hao Xue came, he delayed going out for a while, and he was not in such a hurry. He didn't expect Hao Xue to come to him. He was very happy that she could accompany him.

Hao Xue said with a smile: "Thanks to Wu Yu, Xiao Daozi is also studying seriously, and I can't see anything now. I believe that with Chang Geng, a good master, Xiao Daozi will definitely gain a lot!"

After hearing Hao Xue's words, Shui Wuyu had a glint of disapproval in his eyes, drooped his eyelids, and said, "I'm afraid I'm not qualified to be Xiaodaozi's master with Chang Geng's qualifications, but it's just a temporary guidance!"

Xiaodaozi will have his own master in the future, but it is not so easy to be the prince's master.

Hao Xue listened cautiously to Shui Wuyu's words, as if she said that Chang Genghard was the master of Xiaodaozi. Shui Wuyu only agreed to let Chang Geng teach Xiaodaozi, but he didn't say that he was the master!

Hao Xue smiled sheepishly and drank tea with her head down.

Seeing her expression, Shui Wuyu knew that she had misunderstood, he was not unhappy, it was just that Chang Geng and Xiao Daozi had different identities.

Judging from Qi Qifu's appearance and his affairs, the person in the palace knows Xiaodaozi's whereabouts like the back of his hand.Let Xiaodaozi go to Jingzhou, I'm afraid it was planned long ago, but there was an accident between the plans, which made Hao Xue meet Xiaodaozi, and the person who took Xiaodaozi became Hao Xue.

There was a wise light in Shui Wuyu's eyes, and he immediately thought of the most likely scenario of the incident.

He looked at Hao Xue and said, "Xue'er, the matter of Xiao Daozi should be clear after you send him to his destination. Before that, just take good care of him."

Hao Xue nodded, Shui Wuyu was right, now that nothing is clear, to find a master for someone else's son without authorization, also needs the consent of the parents.

After Wuyu sent water and went out, Hao Xue also went out.

"Hello miss!" Lu Memo led the crowd to say hello to Hao Xue.

"Ok!"

Hao Xue sat down and looked at the six people in front of her. She might leave here at any time, so she had to teach them quickly.
