The scumbag married another man. After rebirth, I will no longer be the mistress of a high-class fam

Pei Qingyan smiled sarcastically.

"So, you are doubting my ability to handle cases?"

Jiang Rongsheng looked terrified.

"No, Xiaguan! Absolutely not, Xiaguan."

God knows, he was afraid that the Embroidery Department would be too late, so how could he dare to doubt their ability to handle the case.

Pei Qingyan said: "So this iron guide..."

Jiang Rongsheng was so wronged that he almost cried.

"But I really don't know. Not to mention that I shouldn't be in charge of Tie Yin. Even if it is, I don't have the guts to sell Tie Yin privately. Although I'm not talented, I have been in the position for many years. Knowing that smuggling salt and iron is a serious crime, how could you ruin your own future just for a small profit?"

Pei Qingyan's pupils narrowed slightly.

As if he was afraid that he wouldn't believe it, Jiang Rongsheng added: "If you don't believe me, you can send someone to investigate. Your daily words and deeds are under the eyes and ears of the local embroidery department. As long as your Excellency goes to investigate, you can't find out if you don't believe me. This official is really unjust."

The main purpose of establishing the Embroidery Department in the Dayuan Dynasty was to serve as the emperor's eyes and ears and to supervise all officials.

Therefore, it is indeed true that even a local official's words and deeds are under the control of the local embroidery department.

However, although the Department of Embroidery and Clothes is responsible for supervising hundreds of officials, it does not supervise the families of hundreds of officials.

Thinking of this, Pei Qingyan's eyes deepened.

"Maybe you don't, but what about your people?"

Jiang Rongsheng was stunned.

His people...

He shook his head.

"They don't dare even more. Besides, although our family is not as noble as yours, we have been officials for generations. We know that we cannot smuggle iron leads. No one will break the law."

Pei Qingyan was silent.

In fact, the people he sent out did not find out that Jiang Rongsheng had any direct relationship with those Tie Yin.

I just found a Jiang family in a very general way.

The Jiang family is a local aristocratic family in Jizhou. It has a large population and a large tree with deep roots. How can it be possible to find out every one of them?

Pei Qingyan thought for a while.

During this period of time when he was thinking, Jiang Rongsheng's face turned pale, and he felt that there was a sharp blade hanging above his head, which could cut him off at any time and cut him into pieces.

Fortunately, at this time——

Someone called him outside.

"Sir, there is news from Beijing."

Pei Qingyan came to his senses, nodded, glanced at Jiang Rongsheng again, turned around and walked out without saying anything else.

Jiang Rongsheng breathed a sigh of relief.

His body slid to the ground as if exhausted.

outside.

A subordinate handed the letter from Fei Ge, and Pei Qingyan took out the note from the mailbox. After reading it, his face darkened.

Jiang Hua is really Lin Bi's son.

Lin Bi, the current Marquis of Anyuan, is the grandson of Emperor Taizu's fourth son. To be honest, he can be considered the cousin of the current emperor.

Pei Qingyan had heard of Lin Bi's reputation as a romantic young man, but never took it to heart.

Now, it's a surprise for him.

Pei Qingyan laughed sarcastically, put the note on the candle and burned it, and then said coldly: "Keep him locked up until someone comes to redeem him in two days."

"Yes."

late at night.

Pei Qingyan quietly jumped into the Jiang family's house and walked to the servants' room.

Unexpectedly, halfway through, he was suddenly stopped by a figure.

Even though he had been on the battlefield for a long time and was used to all kinds of dangers and life and death, he was still startled by this sudden appearance.

"W-Miss Holly? Why are you here?"

Dongqing snorted coldly and looked at him.

"Our lady found out that you were not here, so she specially asked me to squat on you here. Sure enough, I squatted on you and asked, "Did you do something bad if you sneaked out of the house in the middle of the night?"

Pei Qingyan was a little embarrassed.

He didn't expect that Song Anning would pay attention to his whereabouts.

"I didn't do anything, I just went out for a walk."

"Going out for a walk at night? Do you think my lady will believe it? There is a curfew in the city at this time. Not to mention that you are a fugitive. Even ordinary people should not go out and wander around at this time. Tell me! Where have you been? ?”

As he said that, he actually took out a dagger and placed it on his neck.

Pei Qingyan's body stiffened slightly.

How many years has it been?

How many years has it been since I had a knife put to my neck like this?

At this moment, a coldness flashed in the depths of his eyes, but the next second, he changed into a smile.

"What are you doing? I'm really just walking around casually. I didn't do anything illegal. Besides, you're a girl. It's not good to use knives and guns. You'd better let it go."

With that said, she quietly stepped back and away from her blade.

Dongqing thought for a while and felt that as a fugitive now, he should not have the courage to do bad things to avoid exposing his identity, so he said coldly: "Our lady asked me to bring you a message. There are only fourteen days left before the deadline. Please let me know in your heart." Have some points and leave as soon as possible.”

Pei Qingyan nodded.

"I understand, I'm sorry to bother Miss Song."

Dongqing snorted again, turned around and left proudly.

Pei Qingyan breathed a sigh of relief.

After Dongqing left, he looked at the huge Jiang Mansion in front of him.

Jiang Rongsheng did not smuggle Tie Yin, so who would have leaked this Tie Yin.

He thought of something, narrowed his eyes, and looked in the direction of the backyard.

Is it...

That night, Song Anning slept a little uneasily.

The images from his previous life reappeared in his mind.

When she woke up the next day, she found that she was sweating all over her head. When she touched her forehead, she felt it was burning hot, and then she knew she had a fever.

"holly."

"Miss, you are awake."

Holly heard the sound and hurried over.

He pulled up the bed curtains for her and was about to talk to her with a smile when he suddenly noticed that something was wrong with her face. He was startled and raised his hand to reach for her forehead. Sure enough, it was burning hot.

"Miss, you have a fever."

Song Anning nodded, indicating that she didn't have to shout loudly, and whispered: "Go and ask the doctor to prescribe two medicines. Just drink them after a while. Maybe the weather has turned cooler and it's getting cold."

Dongqing nodded hurriedly, "I'll go right away."

With that said, he walked outside again and happened to bump into Poria, who had just come in to fetch hot water.

He quickly said: "Miss has a fever. You can take care of her here first, and I'll ask the government doctor to come over."

"it is good."

When Poria heard that Song Anning was sick, she was also panicked and hurriedly ran in.

Song Anning allowed her to help him up, and Fuling blamed herself: "How could a good person have a fever? Maybe it was because the quilt was lifted last night due to the sultry heat. It was hot in the first half of the night, and then it became cold after heavy rain at night. This kind of time is the best It’s easy to catch a cold, and it’s also my fault that the servants didn’t take good care of me. If I had known earlier, I should have been close to take care of you, and I shouldn’t have been too lazy to sleep outside.”

Song Anning smiled and said: "You said it's easy to catch a cold in this weather. The couch is hard and cold. Even if you put a quilt on it, it's very cold. How can I let you sleep? Besides, I asked you to rest outside. Yeah, it’s not like you have to go there yourself, so how can I blame you.”

With that said, he put on his clothes under Fu Ling's service.

Not long after, Dongqing came in with the doctor.

"Doctor, please show my lady quickly."

The doctor nodded, stepped forward, and checked Song Anning's wrist for pulse.

It was just this diagnosis that made him a little shocked, and he looked at Song Anning with a strange expression.
