After rebirth, I teamed up with the scumbag's mistress

"Mrs. Zhuang, do you know that about eight months ago, a scholar named Zhou and his wife came to Yuhang from Kyoto?" Wei Suxin asked.

Madam Zhuang thought for a while, shook her head, and said, "There are countless scholars pouring into Yuhang every year. How can I know them all? But if Madam Wei wants to find someone, I am willing to find out for her."

"Thank you very much, Madam Zhuang." Wei Suxin said.

"If you have any news, please ask Madam to send it to Boyun Inn. Thank you!" Wei Suxin said after bowing.

"Madam Wei, you are too polite. It's almost time for lunch. Why don't you stay and have a quick meal together?" Mrs. Zhuang smiled and invited warmly.

"No, thank you, Madam Zhuang. I have important things to do, so I won't bother you today." Wei Suxin said with a smile.

Wei Suxin left the banker's house and got on the carriage.

"Madam, where are we going now?" Qiandai asked.

"Let's go to the dental clinic." Wei Suxin said.

"Madam, why are we going to the pawnshop? You are not planning to buy a shop or a house, are you?" Qiandai had this question in her mind.

"Silly girl, the dental clinic is well-informed. Zhou Junsheng and his wife have just arrived, so shouldn't they buy a house? At the very least, they have to rent one." Wei Suxin said.

"My wife is really smart." Qiandai suddenly realized and said with a smile.

After a while, they arrived at the largest dental clinic in Yuhang.

Wei Suxin was wearing a dress made of heavy lotus silk today. As soon as she entered the dental clinic, a mother came forward to greet her.

"This lady looks unfamiliar. She must be new to Yuhang." A mother in a red dress with a magnolia flower in her hair said with a smile.

"Madam, what do you need? A house, a shop or someone? We have everything. We are the largest dental clinic in Yuhang." The mother then said with a smile.

"Mom, my business is easy to do, but I don't know if you can do it." Wei Suxin took out a small piece of gold and said meaningfully.

When the mother saw the gold, her eyes narrowed into slits with a smile, "I understand, I understand, please come this way, ma'am."

The mother led Wei Suxin and her group to the second floor.

Private room on the second floor.

After Wei Suxin sat down, the mother poured tea for her and placed it in front of her. Then she said, "Madam, what do you want? Just tell me. There is no one else here now."

"I want to know a piece of news. Did a scholar couple come here about seven or eight months ago? The man's surname is Zhou, and his name is Zhou Junsheng." Wei Suxin said.

"This... Madam, I have never received this person. Please wait a moment, I will look through the transaction records in the bank and get back to you later." The mother said and walked out.

Wei Suxin sat by the window drinking tea, bored.

Soon, the mother came in with another mother wearing blue cloth clothes.

"Madam, she should have seen the person you are talking about. About eight months ago, this couple bought a house from her and took a maid back with them." said the mother in red.

Wei Suxin smiled when she heard that, thinking that it probably meant she had found it.

"Mom, don't be afraid. I am their friend, not a bad person. Where is the house he bought?" Wei Suxin asked.

"It's in Erba Lane on Blue Bird Street. It's the second house you enter." The mother in blue cloth clothes replied.

Wei Suxin put the gold on the table and said, "Divide it between you two."

After saying that, Wei Suxin hurriedly took Qiandai out of the tooth and headed straight for the alley.

Wei Suxin knocked on the door. After several knocks, a woman's soft voice sounded, "Sir is not at home today. Please come back later."

"Madam He, I'm here to see you." Wei Suxin said.

The door creaked open and the woman poked her head out, "Madam Wei, why are you here?"

He Xiuling looked at both sides of the door, then hurriedly let Wei Suxin and Qiandai into the house.

"After the fire, I looked for you for two days but couldn't find you. It was only after asking Shihua and the others and going to the pawnshop to inquire that I found out your whereabouts." Wei Suxin said.

He Xiuling invited Wei Suxin to sit down at the round table in her yard and poured a cup of tea for Wei Suxin.

She then asked, "Why did Madam Wei come all the way from the capital to Yuhang to find us?"

"We want to severely punish Li Jianye and Li Jianzhang and are collecting evidence. We hope you can go to Beijing with us, serve as a witness, and seek justice together." Wei Suxin said earnestly.

"How can we ordinary people get any justice? It's good enough if we can live in peace without being bullied to death." He Xiuling said with some sadness.

"The world under the government's rule is relatively peaceful and prosperous. Why do you say that, Madam He?" Wei Suxin asked with some confusion.

"Madam Wei is from a wealthy family, so I'm afraid she doesn't understand the suffering of poor people like us." Madam He sighed and continued, "Recently, the government has taken away another group of able-bodied men."

"I don't know if these people will be able to come back once they leave," said Madam He.

"Although my husband was not taken away because he is a scholar, if these men die in batches, I am afraid that my husband will be arrested sooner or later." Madam He said with a worried look on her face.

"Madam He, do you know why the government officials arrested them?" Wei Suxin asked.

Madam He shook her head blankly. "The police were all very fierce. How could I dare to ask?"

"When they came to arrest people, I hid at home and didn't dare to go out." Madam He said immediately.

Madam He hesitated, but still said, "Madam Wei, I'm sorry, we can't go to Kyoto with you. We can't afford to offend the Li family."

"I heard that Li Jianzhang is the chief of Dali Temple, the official in charge of punishment. We are still frightened by the last fire. I think you should have heard Shihua say that we saw that the people guarding outside the door were officials. Although it was dark at night, we could see clearly with the help of those flaming arrows." said Madam He.

"Madam He, you don't have to be afraid. Do you know who is investigating this matter with me and looking for evidence this time?" Madam Wei said in a gentle voice.

Madam He looked at Wei Suxin without saying anything, waiting for her to speak.

"It's Prince Jing and Princess Jing. Behind Princess Jing are the Liu family and the Wang family. I think you should be familiar with these two families." Wei Suxin said.

He Xiuling was surprised, "I heard my husband talk about it."

"This is a very big matter. I need to wait for my husband to come back and discuss it with him." He Xiuling did not refuse outright this time, but instead brought up things that needed to be discussed.

"Okay, then I'll wait for news from Madam He. Madam He, I'm staying at Boyun Inn now. If you have any questions, you can go there to find me." Wei Suxin said.

He Xiuling nodded to indicate that she understood.

Wei Suxin then said goodbye to He Xiuling. She returned to the carriage and thought about what He Xiuling had said about conscription, and felt that something was a little strange.

There has been no flood in Yuhang recently, no water conservancy facilities have been built, and there has been no news of road construction.

Why did they conscript so many men?

Wei Suxin smelled an unusual scent.
