Rebirth of the Merchant Woman's Revenge

Chen Xiang quickly explained, "No, Madam, Shopkeeper Xiaobai feels that the revenue from Wangyu Tower is huge, so he is worried that there is something wrong with his arrangement. Please give me some advice, Madam."

Gu Xunwei opened her eyes wide in surprise, watching Chenxiang anxiously helping Manager Bai to defend himself. She didn't expect that Chenxiang, who was always calm and composed, would behave like this.

After Chenxiang finished speaking, he felt that he was too anxious. His cheeks turned red with shame in an instant. He lowered his head and did not dare to look at Gu Xunwei.

"Yes, yes, what Manager Bai said does make sense. I'll take a closer look." Gu Xunwei smiled and took away the agarwood.

Shopkeeper Bai's name is Bai Ming. He is an orphan rescued by his father more than ten years ago and raised by Shopkeeper Li. Both his character and ability are impeccable. Gu Xunwei is very confident in bringing Chenxiang up with him.

When Chenxiang heard Gu Xunwei say this, she turned around with a red face and went to help Gu Xunwei make tea.

Gu Xunwei gradually suppressed the smile on her face, and the ease she had just felt was replaced by worry. April 9th ​​was getting closer and closer, and she wondered what arrangements the Crown Prince had made. She hoped that there wouldn't be any omissions.

Li Junhao, who was worried about by Gu Xunwei, had just finished listening to Sang Mo's report. He imitated Xie Chengan's embarrassment at the poetry meeting vividly.

If Xiao Fuzi was standing behind His Royal Highness the Crown Prince at this moment, she would definitely be unable to hold back her laughter.

But Li Junhao still had a cold face and did not show the expected reaction.

It takes two hours by express horse to get from Xiangyang City to the capital, and they rely more on carrier pigeons to transmit information. Sang Mo was able to describe the whole process in such detail, probably half of it was due to his rich imagination.

There will be no deviation in the general plot and the final result.

“Your Highness, it seems that Xie Cheng’an may not be as talented as people imagine. He is probably a liar. Madam Xie was probably deceived into marriage by him.” Sang Mo finally concluded.

Li Junhao moved his right hand away from the table and put the ring on his thumb again. Putting the matter of marriage fraud aside for the time being, Gu Xunwei had probably discovered Xie Chengan's dirty deeds a long time ago. He was more thinking, with Hu Er as a link, were there any unusual problems in Xie Chengan's scientific examination?

"Let's think of a way to spread the news that Hu Er appeared in the capital, find one of our own to impersonate him, and see if anyone can't help but jump out." Li Junhao said slowly.

"Yes, I understand." Sang Mo immediately responded excitedly after hearing this.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince not only has strategies for governing the country, but also has these little tricks to play with people's hearts, and Sang Mo is most interested in such things.

Li Junhao was really helpless about the current situation. There was a lack of substantial evidence and he had to rely purely on speculation. He felt a little anxious.

However, thinking of what happened on April 9th, he had to be patient and stay in Xiangyang City with peace of mind. If it was not a natural disaster but a man-made disaster, he would certainly not be merciful this time.

As soon as the news of Hu Er's appearance in the capital was released, Xie Cheng'an heard about it in the Hanlin Academy.

He was looking through books when he heard two colleagues chatting nearby.

One person said, "Have you heard that the Ruyi Casino was smashed this morning, and it caused quite a stir."

"Really? I haven't heard of anyone who is so bold as to cause trouble at Ruyi Casino?"

"Isn't that right? Everyone knows that Ruyi Casino is not to be trifled with, but who would have thought that there would actually be a fool who would dare to cause trouble. He said that he lost some things when he was taken away from Ruyi Casino, but when he came back, everything was gone." The man deliberately lowered his voice, but Xie Cheng'an who was behind the bookshelf still heard it clearly.

"Well, logically speaking, this is indeed a problem of Ruyi Casino. But how can Ruyi Casino be a place for reasoning? What happened to that man? Was he beaten?" another person asked with an interested smile.

"He was definitely beaten, but that man was also very fierce. He was beaten to a state of disorientation, and he kept shouting, 'I am Master Hu, and I will return what you owe me sooner or later.'"

"He was shouting so loudly. When it was thrown out, I happened to be passing by and heard it clearly. I guess what was thrown out must be something very important."

Xie Cheng'an didn't hear a word the two men said to tease Hu Er. His mind was spinning rapidly. Now that Hu Er appeared, could he still help connect him and Prince An like before?

So that day, when Xie Cheng'an returned home, he deliberately went to the place where he had met Hu Er before, but unfortunately he did not see Hu Er.

When he was feeling dejected, there were shouting and screaming coming from the street nearby. It was broad daylight and it was raining, so the sound was particularly chaotic.

Xie Cheng'an immediately thought of this: when Hu Er disappeared, he was said to have been taken away by officials. Could it be that Hu Er had escaped and was being hunted down again?

Thinking of this, Xie Cheng'an immediately got on the carriage and asked the driver to drive the carriage to the place where the shouting and killing sounds came from.

The rain was not heavy at that time, but the sky was still gloomy. Some people were already walking around on the streets, and in the doors on both sides of the street, people kept craning their necks to look over there.

Xie Cheng'an also stopped the carriage and looked into the distance from the curtain. He saw several strong men in black, holding sharp blades, fighting with two people.

"Who are you? How dare you kill someone in broad daylight?" One of the two men questioned the other loudly while defending himself.

"It's only natural to pay back debts. Where else do you want to escape to?" The leading man in black shouted, making everyone understand that they were here to collect debts.

"When did we owe you money? Oh..." The man retorted loudly, but was accidentally cut on the arm, and blood splattered everywhere in an instant.

"Stop talking nonsense and end this quickly." The leading man in black said this to the other men in black behind him, and immediately their offensive became fierce again.

Just when everyone thought that the two would definitely not be able to escape this time, a group of guards suddenly ran out from behind them. The leader was majestic and shouted, "The Dali Temple is investigating the case. Everyone stop."

Xie Cheng'an heard a man near his carriage explaining to his wife, "See? That's Yan Nangui, the Junior Official of the Dali Temple. He's also a murderer."

After hearing this, Xie Cheng'an was shocked. What was going on? Could it be that Hu Er was arrested by the Dali Temple just after returning to the capital?
