Forced to be a third person: I turned around and left the palace to marry a villain

When Jiang Qibin heard the sound, he immediately put away his sword.

Lu Qiong could not hold back her strength, so she could only twist the handle of the knife and slap Jiang Qibin on the buttocks with the knife.

Jiang Qibin's eyes widened and he said aggrievedly to Jiang Xue: "Your Highness..."

Jiang Xue put down her book angrily and said to the two of them, "Come here!"

Lu Qiong put away the knife angrily, walked towards Jiang Xue, sat down at the table and took a cup of tea to drink.

Jiang Qibin approached Jiang Xue and saluted with his fists clasped.

Jiang Xue asked: "Did you find anything?"

Jiang Qibin glanced at Lu Qiongshuang and then at Jiang Xue, feeling a little hesitant.

Jiang Xue said: "It doesn't matter, just treat her as deaf. Let's just say it."

Lu Qiongshuang continued drinking tea as if nothing had happened.

Jiang Qibin said: "Your Highness, I have been keeping an eye on Huang Fu for a whole day, but I haven't seen Huang Fu interact with anyone. He has only left the house once. Before dinner, he went to the Ministry of Rites to deliver something to the consort."

Jiang Xue asked: "I heard Xiaochun said that you came to look for me earlier?"

Jiang Qibin nodded and said: "I sent some money, saying that the master wanted to have friends with powerful people, and asked the shop assistants to tell me the approximate purchase time and purchase contents of the Prince Consort every month. Among them, Liangji Tea House Huang Fu I go there most frequently, about four or five times a month.”

"If you buy tea, you only have so much money for a month. Why do you have to travel so many times?" Jiang Xue asked doubtfully.

"The waiter said that the housekeeper of the Gu family always only wanted the freshest and most expensive tea leaves, so he went there more often and bought smaller quantities. I sneaked into the store late at night and looked through the account books. The tea shop -" Jiang Qibin frowned He said, "I only get tea once a month."

"Since you only get the goods once, there is no difference between freshness and non-freshness." Jiang Xue said thoughtfully, "Then where is Liangji Tea House?"

"Lin'an Street in the west of the city." Jiang Qibin said.

Jiang Xue frowned slightly, this place seemed familiar.

"I seem to have heard of this place..." Jiang Xue said doubtfully, "I can't remember it. Since there is something different, please keep an eye on it first."

"Yes. There is another place," Jiang Qibin said, "His Royal Highness is suspicious of the grain store in the south of the city. I found time to take a look yesterday. I happened to see a caravan unloading goods. I saw that the horses were dressed up, and they didn't look like people from Hebei."

Jiang Xuedan said: "There are always people doing business from all over the world. Since you are opening a shop, you must find merchants everywhere to buy goods."

Jiang Qibin hesitated for a moment and said, "But that horse is very strange. I have been in the army and have seen war horses captured by the army. The horses in Beixi are different from the horses in our dynasty. Their horses have wider hoofs than our local horses." Quite a few, and the shape of the horseshoe is slightly different.”

Jiang Xue suddenly raised her head and said, "Beixi?"

Jiang Qibin nodded and said: "If you haven't had training in the army or fought against Beixi, ordinary people may not be able to tell the difference. But I can be sure that the horses of the caravan transporting grain have diamond-shaped marks on the horseshoes. They are from Beixi." Xi’s war horse.”

Jiang Xue was shocked and said, "Are you sure? This matter is nothing to play with."

Jiang Qibin nodded affirmatively.

"The relationship between Hebei and Beixi has been tense in recent years. Businessmen from the two countries basically do not trade with each other. Even if they occasionally trade with each other, how can they use war horses?"

Lu Qiongshuang suddenly interrupted: "Are you a little too nervous? I heard Master mentioned that in Beixi, a place where birds don't poop, everything is very precious. Maybe they only have this kind of horse. ?”

Jiang Qibin shook his head and said: "The breed of horses can be the same, but the shape of the horseshoes cannot run. War horses have war horse shoes, which are different from ordinary horses."

Lu Qiongshuang also became serious.

Jiang Xue looked gloomy and said, "You can find a way to get a copy of that grain store's purchase account book."

Jiang Qibin nodded in agreement, and when he was about to retreat, he glanced at Lu Qiongshuang a few more times.

Seeing him looking at her, Lu Qiongshuang raised her eyebrows and said unhappily: "What are you looking at? What's your name? Why have I never seen you in my cousin's palace before?"

Jiang Xue said: "How long have you been running away? Do you still remember who is in my palace? Jiang Qibin, this is Lu Xiang's granddaughter. You have seen Miss Cousin, and then leave first."

Jiang Qibin was stunned for a moment.

Lu Qiongshuang asked: "Why did this person suddenly become stupid? However, your skills are really good. You can dodge so many of my moves without any offensive moves."

She turned back to Jiang Xue and smiled, saying: "This skill doesn't match up with this pink-faced and red-lipped skin. In vain, I just thought that he was a slippery-tongued loser who dared to point fingers at me, so I took action to teach him a few lessons." .”

Jiang Qibin blushed instantly, clasped his fists and said, "I've met Miss Biao, Your Highness, take your leave!"

Then in a flash he disappeared.

Seeing him like this, Lu Qiongshuang was still laughing happily, but Jiang Xue's expression became more and more serious.

Lu Qiong looked at Jiang Xue without saying a word and asked, "Cousin, are you worried about that caravan?"

Jiang Xue nodded.

Lu Qiong Shuang said: "Zuo is just doing business. Even if there is any conspiracy, it is nothing big. But cousin, why did you find someone to investigate these shops?"

"Qiongshuang, since your heart is in the world, I don't want you to get involved in these dirty things in the backyard of the mansion." Jiang Xueyao said, "These things are very boring, so don't pry."

Lu Qiongshuang could only nod obediently.

Xiaochun approached with two plates of snacks, and Jiang Xue asked, "Is Chen Jin back?"

Xiaochun shook his head and said: "I don't know, I haven't seen him yet. I will go look for him now."

Jiang Xue said: "No need, Wu Anlang is well-trained. If he comes back, he will come back. Xiaochun, I have something to ask you to do."

"You sort out the account books of the past purchases in the house, and find a reason to ask the person who was in charge of the kitchen in the past. If he is honest, you can proofread and verify them one by one according to the account books; if he is dishonest, ask Xu Chong Gan Ning to help you."

Xiaochun nodded and said: "In the past few days, I have only kept the accounts in the warehouse and reassigned the staff in the courtyard. But now the person in charge of the kitchen has not been changed. It is Mrs. Wu. I will go find her tomorrow." Come."

Jiang Xue sighed, it seemed that his father was not at peace this Longevity Festival.

"You go to sleep first, I'll wait for Chen Jin later." Jiang Xue said to Lu Qiong.

Lu Qiongshuang was eating the milk cake brought by Xiaochun and said vaguely: "I'm not sleepy yet. After eating this, I'll play with the knife again."

Jiang Xuedao: "If you are so energetic, you might as well tell me about your senior brother."

In two days, the Qianguo envoy will enter the capital. If you know yourself and your enemy, you will be victorious in any battle. If you don't pry, it will be useless to pry.

"Senior brother?" Lu Qiongshuang took a sip of tea and put down the pastries, "I may not know as much as cousin Yu."

"Then tell me you know," Jiang Xue took a sip of tea and said, "How did your master accept this disciple?"

Lu Qiongshuang's eyes suddenly lit up and she said, "I really know this! Master told me!"
