Kaifeng Mansion's Little Boss
Chapter 55 3 more in 1
Su Yuan glanced at Bai Yutang in surprise, her fan-like eyelashes fluttered twice, then she drooped her eyes, thinking about something.
Looking up again, Su Yuan's clear eyes met Bai Yutang's again, as if confirming something.
Bai Yutang held Su Yuan's hand tightly to clearly remind her of the current situation.In order not to make her confused about the situation, she would be confused and think of other foods, such as thinking of 'think of me' as 'carrot lettuce' or something like that.If it were someone else, Bai Yutang wouldn't have this kind of worry, but if it was Su Yuan, he felt that everything might be there.
Feeling Bai Yutang's force, Su Yuan lowered his eyes again, looking at Bai Yutang's hand grabbing her.It stands to reason that people who practice martial arts have rough fingers, but his hands are as slender as jade, as outstanding as his appearance.God is still biased, it is not fair to everyone, Bai Yutang is considered to have received the best preferential treatment, apart from his talent, looks and family background, even his fingers are prettier than others.
"What are you thinking?" Bai Yutang saw that Su Yuan was staring at their handshake in a daze, and guessed that Su Yuan must have understood what he meant.
"I'm thinking I haven't made finger cakes yet."
Bai Yutang closed his eyes slightly, he was really going to lose his temper by Su Yuan.
"So the fifth master likes me? He's interested in me?" Because of the natural height difference, Su Yuan had to look up at Bai Yutang.
Only then did Bai Yutang open his eyes, and looked down at her, with a vicissitudes of 'you finally understand' revealed in his eyes.
Su Yuan sighed: "You have to say it directly, otherwise no one will understand. You see, I always asked you directly before, whether the main house is still a concubine, but at that time you answered me as a cook."
Bai Yutang: "..."
Unexpectedly, the moment Su Yuan finally figured out the situation, he would start to settle old scores with him.
"It was different back then." Bai Yutang explained.
"It's not the same. At that time, I saw that the fifth master was good, and knew that he was suitable to be a husband, but the fifth master saw that I was only a material for a cook."
Bai Yutang: "..."
Is he still wrong?
Is it right to talk about marriage casually after meeting a woman twice?
"The joy at first sight is just a superficial emotion. If you make a promise easily because of this, it will be hasty to anyone."
Su Yuan nodded, "It makes sense."
"Besides, what you said was just a joke at the time. Isn't it too much to accuse me of what you said at that time?" Although Bai Yutang was questioning Su Yuan, his voice was low and magnetic, revealing a little tenderness and a little grievance accusation In other words, it sounds a bit lingering.
"It's not a joke. If the fifth master agreed at that time, I would really dare to marry." Su Yuan said frankly.
"So you were tempted by me at that time?" Bai Yutang stared at Su Yuan with an unusually solemn attitude.If this is the case, then his refusal at the beginning must have hurt her, and now he should work harder to make up for the grievances she has suffered.
"I was tempted at the time, but it wasn't the kind of tempting that Fifth Master thought." Su Yuan waved his hand awkwardly, and then touched his nose.
What made her fall in love at the time was Bai Yutang's external conditions, which had nothing to do with feelings.
Bai Yutang's parents are gone, so he is the only one in the family who has the final say, if he marries him, Su Yuan will be the mistress of the Bai Mansion.He is cold-tempered, doesn't know how to nag her, and is not often at home because he has been a chivalrous man all year round, so she is the uncompromising boss of the family.Occasionally, even if someone else comes back, they are good-looking, and it is not a loss to be together.
This kind of rich and salty married life is more low-key and perfect than the single life in Kaifeng Mansion, and it is a long-term solution so that it will not provoke criticism from outsiders.
At that time, if Bai Yutang had really offered her such a generous position, Su Yuan would have agreed willingly.
Of course, Su Yuan knew that with Bai Yutang's temperament, he would definitely not make such a proposal. Everything was just a well-thought-out assumption that would not happen.
Su Yuan has never believed in the relationship between men and women, so she seldom thinks about it. This is why Bai Yutang hinted at her several times, but she failed to understand it.
For Su Yuan, the relationship between men and women is too variable. Few relationships between men and women can stand the cruel test of reality and time. At least the results she has seen are not very good.
Of course, she does not deny the existence of true love in this world, but the reason why true love is so praised and praised by people is not precisely because it is so rare?
Su Yuan never imagined that she would be the one who would be lucky enough to win the big prize by buying a lottery ticket.Taking every step steadily, seeing the reality clearly, and not taking chances is the ultimate way for her to pass the doomsday game.
Therefore, compared to the relationship between a man and a woman whose specific value cannot be estimated, Su Yuan actually prefers things that will not change and can be more intuitively measured.
Bai Yutang is so smart, when Su Yuan pulled his hand after saying that sentence, he immediately understood what Su Yuan meant.
Without hesitation, Bai Yutang took Su Yuan's hand again and interlocked her fingers.
The light from the lantern on the sand elongated the figures of the two holding hands. They were so quiet and beautiful that they looked like a couple of gods, as if walking across the River of Forgetfulness, through the thorns, and spent all the years of reincarnation hand in hand.
"I'm still rich and good-looking."
Bai Yutang's face remained calm, but his hand holding Su Yuan was very tight.
The meaning of his confession is obvious, he doesn't mind Su Yuan's utilitarian choice to be with him.
Su Yuan looked at Bai Yutang in surprise, she never expected to say such words with Bai Yutang's unruly temperament.
After Su Yuan was stunned for a moment, he burst out laughing and sighed 'I got it'.Then she wanted to withdraw her hand again, but Bai Yutang still refused to let go.
"Your answer is?"
"My answer is that the fifth master hurts me, otherwise I would rather let the fifth master hold it." Su Yuanqing complained to Bai Yutang in a playful tone with a smile in her almond eyes.
Bai Yutang immediately let go, and sure enough, he saw that Su Yuan's Bai Nen's hand was reddened by him.He supported Su Yuan's small hand with his big hand, not knowing how to deal with it for a moment.
Su Yuan suggested: "Blow it up?"
Bai Yutang really took Su Yuan's hand and blew a few times.
Su Yuan saw Bai Yutang's performance in the whole process, and the smile on the corner of his mouth gradually deepened.
"Don't look at me because I'm young, in fact, I'm very clear about life,"
Bai Yutang nodded, he already knew this.
Su Yuan just looks like a delicate and lively little girl, but in fact she is smart and resolute, with good eyes and ears, she is a person who sees people and things more clearly than an old man.In addition to her own intelligence, the reason may also have something to do with the calculations and deceptions she has experienced from people around her.
"But I will try to confuse Fifth Master once."
After Su Yuan finished speaking, he turned his hand over and stroked Bai Yutang's cheek.
"I've wanted to touch it for a long time, and it's really easy to touch, and the feel is better than I imagined!"
When Bai Yutang heard the first sentence, his heart beat instantly faster, and when he was brewing feelings, he was shattered by Su Yuan's last hooligan words.
But the ending is good, it's not that Su Yuan doesn't have feelings for him.You must know that the moment Su Yuan pulled his hand for the first time, he really thought that he was about to experience the most heart-wrenching failure for the first time in his life.
"It seems that I am really good-looking in your eyes, so you can't help but do something to me?" Bai Yutang grabbed Su Yuan's troublesome hand, and because of Su Yuan's teasing, he also followed suit.
"Don't blame me, otherwise, whoever makes me confused, I will make him confused!" Su Yuan changed the subject and began to threaten Bai Yutang again.
Bai Yutang couldn't help but chuckled when he saw her warning him fiercely, "Do you think it's useful for you to threaten me like this? With your small body, how can you fool me?"
"That's too many tricks." Su Yuan glanced at Bai Yutang who didn't care, "Anyway, let me explain in advance. Believe it or not, it's up to Fifth Master. Don't regret it when the time comes."
"I don't regret it, I won't do it." Bai Yutang hurriedly pulled Su Yuan's hand, took a look at it before it was red again, and then held her again.
On the way back, the two almost led the horse back to Kaifeng mansion on foot.
"Why don't you think about it again, and I'll think about it again? Why do I think it's a bit fast." When he arrived at the east gate of Kaifeng Mansion, Su Yuan seemed to have the intention of going back on his word.
"Don't think about it."
Bai Yutang was afraid that Su Yuan would change his mind, and told Su Yuan to think more about his wealth and good looks even if he wanted to.
Su Yuan looked carefully at Bai Yutang's handsome face with her clear eyes, and nodded in satisfaction.
"Okay, good night."
Su Yuan turned to leave, but was pulled back by Bai Yutang.Su Yuan almost ran into Bai Yutang's arms, but he controlled it immediately and took a step back to keep a distance.
"We've just held hands on the first day, and it's not appropriate to do any more intimate actions."
Su Yuan thought that Bai Yutang wanted to hug her, but he felt that he was a girl anyway, so he had to pretend to be reserved.This is the same as eating vegetables. If the most hearty main course is served right away, how can the porridge and side dishes be served later?
"He even touched his face." Bai Yutang added.
It was him who held hands, and Su Yuan who touched his face, as if the two of them were not very reserved.Indeed, this is the first day.
Su Yuan thought that Bai Yutang told her this because she also wanted to touch her face, and was stretching her neck, planning to move her face closer, when Bai Yutang suddenly handed her a stack of bank notes.
"The Bai family also has a little property in the capital, and they just collected rent today."
"It's not appropriate for me to accept it." Su Yuan said politely.
"I haven't seen you being polite before."
As soon as Bai Yutang finished speaking, Su Yuan immediately accepted the money.
Since Bai Yutang wants her to be rude, then really don't be polite, otherwise it will make him angry.If she didn't want money, the two of them would be unhappy on the first day they confirmed their relationship, and it wouldn't be worth it.Of course, Su Yuan had to choose to 'sacrifice' himself, and accepted the money first in a 'grievance'.
"I'll give you everything from now on," Bai Yutang said again.
It seems that Bai Yutang is going to implement his principle of 'be rich and look good'.
"That's not necessary, there are a lot of these. And when you go out, it's more handsome and unrestrained for men to pay." Of course women are also unrestrained!But in order to persuade Bai Yutang not to give her too much money, Su Yuan coaxed him.
Bai Yutang didn't insist anymore, and watched Su Yuan go back to his room before turning around and leaving.
……
Early the next morning, Sun He came to ask Su Yuan what he wanted for breakfast, and she was responsible for going out to buy it.
"Anything."
Sun He thought it was a bit strange there, the boss usually took the initiative to order, why did he suddenly become casual today?
He also saw Su Yuan combing her hair in front of the bronze mirror, humming a tune she couldn't understand.
Sun He quietly approached, looked at the radiant Su Yuan in the bronze mirror, and asked softly, "Boss, did you meet any happy event?"
"I don't know if it's a happy event or not." Su Yuan pondered for a while, and told Sun He about her and Bai Yutang's situation last night. Anyway, he couldn't hide this matter from Sun He.
"Oh my god, you guys—" Sun He stared in shock, and covered his mouth in surprise, "Juju got together so soon! Heaven has eyes, I didn't pray in vain, it's really great !"
"Remember to keep it secret, this is just the beginning, and the number has not yet been determined."
"That is required!"
After Sun He made the promise, he immediately said that he would have a good celebration.Starting from today's breakfast, it must be rich.
Su Yuan wanted to give Sun He money, but Sun He refused, and insisted on paying for it himself.
Half an hour later, the waiter from the Yaoguang Building came to deliver a variety of breakfasts. The dry ones included steamed buns with bamboo shoots and meat, sesame seed cakes, kernel and cherry cakes, etc., and the rare ones included Qunxian Soup, Bijian Soup, and Zacai Soup. , spicy fish soup, bean porridge, plum soup cake, shepherd's purse and mutton wonton, etc.
Su Yuan counted. Although it was all breakfast, it was not at all smaller than the luncheon that Su Fangming sent last time.
Su Yuan pulled Sun He back, "Your battle is too big, did you spend all your private house?"
Sun He glanced at Su Yuan's face cautiously, and explained to Su Yuan nervously, "I originally wanted to spend 100 taels of silver as the cost of the whole day's celebration."
Su Yuan felt that it was a lot of money to spend the whole day, but if he used the 100 taels to order Yaoguanglou's meals, the breakfast alone would not be enough.
"I originally planned to go to a few more stores and buy all the breakfasts that the boss loves to eat on the west side of the city and the state bridge."
Su Yuan nodded, "It's hard for you to have a heart."
The total cost of these is less than ten taels of silver, but it can already buy a very rich and delicious breakfast.
"But I met Uncle Su halfway. He asked me what I was going to do, and I really only said one sentence! I told him that I was going to buy breakfast for the boss to celebrate. He asked me what to celebrate, but I didn't say, he Then he laughed and told me not to buy it, he would order Yaoguanglou to deliver the food to celebrate the boss and Fifth Master Bai together."
Sun He pitifully raised her hand and swore to Su Yuan that she really didn't reveal anything, but she didn't know why Su Fangming guessed so accurately.
The boss had just ordered her to keep it a secret, but she made the secret known to the fourth person in a blink of an eye.
"Boss, I suggest that we eat this breakfast by ourselves, and not give it to Mr. Bao and others. They are so smart, and they will definitely guess like Uncle Su." Sun He was already frightened by Su Fangming.
"As soon as Yaoguanglou came to deliver the food, we couldn't hide it. Moreover, there are so many meals, and the price is not cheap. We can't finish them. The taste will change after a long time. It is shameful to waste."
Su Yuan rubbed his chin, thinking he had to find a reason to celebrate.
"I really want to hear the meowing of a cat?" Su Yuan listened carefully out of the window.
Sun He suddenly remembered, and immediately ran back to his room next door, and brought a little orange civet cat.The kitten is about one and a half months old. It is fluffy all over, with round and bright yellow-green eyes. It not only loves to bark, but also is mischievous and playful.
"Where did you get it?" Su Yuan teased the little orange cat as he held it in his arms.
"I picked it up on the street yesterday. I waited there for a long time, and even asked people nearby, but no one recognized the cat."
After half a stick of incense, Bao Zheng, Gongsun Ce and others got together to have breakfast.
Bai Yutang also arrived shortly after, and immediately recognized that these were breakfasts from Yaoguanglou.He also heard Wang Chao say that the meal was a celebration, so he immediately looked at Su Yuan.
Bai Yutang raised the corners of his mouth in a good mood——
"You can't guess what Miss Su is celebrating with such a big fight?"
"Oh?" Bai Yutang promised like this, but he had a certain idea in his heart, so much happened last night, apart from the fact that they were together, Su Yuan could congratulate him, nothing else.But he didn't expect Su Yuan to disclose their relationship to everyone so soon.
Chao Chao suddenly bent down and got under the table, and then brought out a little orange cat and sent it to Bai Yutang.
"Dangdang! It's for it!"
Bai Yutang frowned, and glanced at the little orange cat that was flailing its paws at him.
"Miss Su said that this is the son she recognized, so she wanted to hold a banquet to celebrate." Wang Chao hugged the little orange cat and patted its head.
Bai Yutang stretched out his hand and grabbed the little orange cat into his arms. Just as Wang Chao wanted to have an opinion, he heard Bai Yutang ask him back.
"Not on duty for a while?"
"Ah yes." Wang Chao hurried to eat.
Su Yuan came in with a plate of washed peaches, and seeing Bai Yutang hugging the little orange cat, couldn't help laughing, "Skipping breakfast? Why are you hugging it?"
Bai Yutang saw that Bao Zheng and the others were eating, and no one noticed them, so he whispered to Su Yuan, "We just got together yesterday, and I heard that we have a son today? I want to take a look."
Su Yuan blushed suddenly, and glared at Bai Yutang.
During the entire breakfast, Su Yuan avoided visiting Bai Yutang.On the contrary, Bai Yutang seemed to really like that orange cat, and even let the little orange cat squat in his arms when eating.
Seeing this, everyone couldn't help sighing, who would have thought that the indifferent Bai Wuye would be more tender to cats than to humans.Wang Chao and the others, who usually had Bai Yutang's cold face, sighed that they were worse than cats.
After the meal, Gongsun Ce called over to Su Yuan and asked her the reason for such a big celebration this morning. It would be too much to say that she just celebrated the adoption of a cat son.
In fact, everyone has this idea, but there is food and it is busy, so it is not good to ask too many questions.
"It wasn't such a big fight, I just asked Sun He to buy some hearty breakfast. I met Uncle Su on the way, and he took the initiative to pay for these." Su Yuan explained.
Bai Yutang was listening, so he naturally understood what happened, so he couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips, and teased the little orange cat in his arms with his fingers.We should give him a name, Bai Yuanzi sounds nice.
Bao Zheng sighed: "This Su Fangming really treats you like a real sister."
"His character is not bad." Gongsun Ce still frowned, and told Su Yuandao worriedly, "But you haven't recognized your relatives yet, if you move around frequently, it will be easy to be talked about. If Su Jinjing knows, I'm afraid it won't be safe."
Su Yuan promised, "Master, don't worry, I will pay attention to propriety."
Then she sent a message to Su Fangming, reminding him to keep her relationship with Bai Yutang a secret.They have indeed come and gone a little frequently recently, so they should be cautious.
Su Fangming then replied that he agreed with Su Yuan, and told Su Yuan that Daoist Wang Chuan went to Su's house yesterday and chatted with Su Jinjing in the room for more than half an hour before leaving.Because Su Jinjing's cronies were guarding outside the room, Su Fangming couldn't hear the conversation.
"What do you think he's going to hide from his own son?" Su Yuan asked Bai Yutang on the way to find Mr. Bao.
"Mostly it has something to do with you. A few days ago you made him half dead. Now that we see you again, Daoist Wang Chuan who gave you a life sentence, you must be mentioned."
Bai Yutang originally wanted to ask Su Yuan if he wanted him to take action, but in a blink of an eye Su Yuan didn't seem to be concerned about this matter, he just nodded casually and then analyzed the situation of the Wang family with him.
"Tonight we're going to scare that Wang Shuifa."
"Now there is no clear evidence, do you think Master Bao will agree with your idea?" Bai Yutang asked Su Yuan.
"Fairies have wonderful mouths." Su Yuan pointed to her mouth proudly.
Bai Yutang's eyes followed the trend and fell on the light pink cherry lips, and then his Adam's apple rolled, his gaze was restrained, and he looked elsewhere.
But Bai Yutang didn't expect that the first thing that Su Yuan asked Bao Zheng when she entered the door was not that she wanted to scare Wang Shuifa, but that she asked Bao Zheng, Bingming Emperor, to thoroughly investigate the accounts of the money supervisor in the household department.
"What did you say? Thoroughly check the accounts of the money supervisor in the household department?"
Both Gongsun Ce and Bao Zheng were very surprised.
"Do you know that the thorough investigation of the Qianjian's accounts is to show that our Kaifeng government is suspecting that the officials of the Qianjian are greedy for money and stealing money. This is a very serious accusation, and there must be a very legitimate reason, and it must be reported to His Majesty for permission." The amount involved in the Gudao Tibetan Bank case that happened before was too small, and the case was cleared and tried, so it is not enough to be a reason." Gongsun Ce explained to Su Yuan carefully.
Su Yuan nodded to express her understanding, and also said that apart from Wang Shuisheng's death, she really had no other evidence to show that Qian Jian's accounts were suspicious.
"But why do you have to have doubts before you can check the money of the Qianjian? That place is prone to moths, so it's good to check it again and plan ahead to avoid the loss of the treasury?"
"Then there must be an opportunity." Gongsun Ce sighed.
After Wang Shuisheng died, the Kaifeng government thoroughly checked the Wang family's family assets, and there was nothing suspicious about it.It's not that Jian Qian has never died before. If every time this reason is used to mobilize people to check Qian Jian's huge accounts, then there will be no rules and chaos, and the emperor will definitely not agree.
"It doesn't necessarily have to be direct evidence such as throwing silver. If there are enough doubts, it is fine to convince His Majesty."
Bao Zheng asked Su Yuan to tell her what details she had noticed were wrong.
"Before Wang Shuisheng died, the craftsmen said that he was in a good mood, and they also said that he would quit his job and move out of Tokyo, so that the family would no longer have to stay in Tokyo and live in a small house.
At least he was in charge of the Qiandongsuo, and this kind of work might not be found elsewhere.Even though the Wang family sold their house in Beijing and bought houses and fields in places where the land was cheap, after all, apart from farming and relying on the sky for food, the family has no other income.
This is good and bad, right?But Wang Shuisheng's performance is completely happy, not sad. "
"Perhaps the place where they bought the land was really cheap enough for them to live on." Bao Zheng felt that this possibility cannot be ruled out, some people are more likely to be content and happy.
"But if the Wang family could have sold their house in this way long ago, and moved to other places to live a leisurely life without having to live in such a crowded place. Then why didn't they do this two years ago, when Wang Shuigen died or before?
The eldest son will continue to work in the place where the second son died tragically, and the place is still haunted. If it is not because of the pressure of life, who would not want to avoid this?
The second daughter-in-law had just lost her husband and became a widow, but she could not have a separate room with the two children, so she was forced to return to her mother's house to become a widow.It was actually a bit embarrassing for this matter to spread to the outside world, but the Wang family did not take any action at that time. "
"Just before Wang Shuisheng's death, the Wang family decided to sell their house and leave Tokyo. What was the opportunity that caused Wang Shuisheng to decide this matter at this time?"
Su Yuan asked the old couple of the Wang family yesterday, and both of them said that the decision was made by the eldest son Wang Shuisheng alone. The two elders were old, and they agreed after several persuasions, but they didn't know the reason why Wang Shuisheng suddenly made such a fuss. what is it.
"After such an analysis, it is indeed a bit strange. The cause of Wang Shuisheng's death was that after the silver needle was pierced into Fengfu Point, he fell into the furnace and died. It's much easier to connect Shuisheng's death with money." Gongsun Ce said with emotion.
"There were no abandoned lanterns at the scene of Wang Shuisheng's death. After the murder, the murderer had to climb over the wall and return to Qianxisuo. For convenience and to avoid people's attention, it was definitely impossible to carry the lantern. So the two of them should have taken advantage of the darkness. , For some unknown reason, he climbed onto the stove. Under the cloudy moonlight, the murderer managed to find out the location of Wang Shuisheng's Fengfu acupoint, and stunned him with a single needle of ingenuity.
Therefore, the murderer must be proficient in medicine. "
Bai Yutang told Bao Zheng and Gongsun Cehe that he had asked people to investigate the suspects on the list of the Qianxi Institute that night according to this condition.
"But if I know medical skills, why bother to do the hard work of a craftsman in Qianjian?" Su Yuan asked rhetorically, which made Bao Zheng and Gongsun Ce tremble in their hearts.
"But if you are an official, there is such a possibility." Bai Yutang immediately expressed what the two of them thought.
After thinking about it, Bao Zheng felt that Su Yuan's worry was justified. This matter was too deliberate, especially when it happened in a place like Qianjian, and it should be strictly investigated.It's better to be busy in vain than to let moths hide from the sky and empty the treasury.
Bao Zheng tidied up and hurried into the palace.
Zhan Zhao then finished his busy work and came back.He told Su Yuan and Bai Yutang that he had carefully investigated what happened to Wang Shuigen two years ago before he fell into the furnace and died.
"Three craftsmen still remember that when Wang Shuigen was in a trance when he went to work, he was in a trance, and he called him twice before responding. Some people even found him sweating. The job of throwing copper pieces into the copper water furnace is everyone's job. They do it in turn, and that day happened to be Wang Shuigen's turn."
Zhan Zhao immediately raised his doubts, he felt that Wang Shuigen fell into the copper water furnace and died, most likely it was not accidental.
"Did you get drugged?" Su Yuan asked.
Zhan Zhao nodded hurriedly, and immediately said, "Those who know me are Yuan Yuan."
"Yuanyuan is also your name?" Bai Yutang asked Zhan Zhao in an unhappy tone.
Zhan Zhao was puzzled, "Why can't I call her that? All the old yamen servants in the mansion call her that, why are my children taboo, and besides, I'm Su Yuan's big brother."
After Zhan Zhao finished speaking, he saw that Bai Yutang still looked unhappy, and asked him, "It's you, why are you acting like a food protector?"
Bai Yutang immediately looked at Zhan Zhao sharply, and was about to refute him with harsher words when Su Yuan coughed.
"Brother Zhan has been investigating for a while, let's drink a cup of tea." After Su Yuan gave tea to Zhan Zhao, seeing Bai Yutang staring at him, he also gave him a cup of tea.
After Bai Yutang took the tea, his eyes were still very concerned, especially when he heard Su Yuan call Zhan Zhao as 'Brother Zhan' to his face.
"Ancestor Bai, drink tea." Su Yuan winked at him.
This person who loves to eat really wants to be served like an ancestor.
Bai Yutang immediately remembered that he had quarreled with Su Yuan before, saying that if she was called Big Brother Zhan Zhao, she should call him Patriarch Bai.Today, the wish has come true.
Bai Yutang's gaze softened, knowing that Su Yuan was wronging himself in order to reconcile his relationship with Zhan Zhao.It's his fault.
"You don't need to worry about scaring Wang Shui tonight, I will come alone." Bai Yutang said.
"Hey, are you planning to scare Wang Shuifa tonight?"
Zhan Zhao had just taken two sips of tea to moisten his throat, and he was so happy when he heard Bai Yutang's words that he raised his volume a little.
"Then let's go together! Did you also find out that Wang Shuifa was working as a clerk in a medicine shop, and suspect that he gave Wang Shuigen medicine?"
"Brother Zhan is also so suspicious?" Su Yuan asked with a smile.
"Yes, I also found out that Wang Shuifa had conflicts with his second brother Wang Shuigen two years ago. Wang Shuigen thought the house was too crowded, so he always wanted to send Wang Shuifa's family to live outside the city, and said that he could farm for food for his family. The reason is that he and his elder brother Wang Shuisheng both worked in the household department and earned a lot of money. Wang Shuifa worked as a pharmacy clerk and earned a little, and he hadn’t been able to add any grandchildren to the Wang family, only two useless daughters.”
Su Yuan was puzzled, and asked Zhan Zhao where he got the news.
"Yesterday we went to the Wang's house, but no one said anything about it. We also asked the neighbors nearby, and they all said very general things. No one talked about these inside stories."
Zhan Zhao said with a hearty smile: "I might really have to do it myself. I also went to ask the neighbors of the Wang family. It just so happened that one of them was close to Wang Shuifa on weekdays and knew something about it. Their family has lived together for several years I have received help before, and I can’t remember the little things that I drew my sword to help when I saw injustice. I can’t remember it myself, but they remember it. When they saw me, they would call out benefactors, kowtow to thank them, and answer honestly when they asked.”
Su Yuan nodded in agreement: "Then you really need Brother Zhan to do it."
After Su Yuan finished speaking, she glanced at Bai Yutang subconsciously, and found that Bai Yutang was still drinking tea as usual, and didn't care about her calling Zhan Zhao as Zhan's eldest brother as before.
This is a big improvement, have you figured it out?
"So I'm the one who scares you tonight! If Wang Shuifa really wanted to kill his own brother because his second brother rejected him, then this person can't be let go. We have to find a way." Let him confess."
"Okay." Su Yuan agreed.
Zhan Zhao smiled at Su Yuan, picked up the teacup and was about to take another sip of tea——
"Then it will be troublesome for Big Brother Zhan to play the role of Wang Shuigen, you two are similar in stature," Bai Yutang said.
Zhan Zhao suddenly heard Bai Yutang calling himself 'Brother Zhan', his hands shook, and he spilled the half bowl of tea that was clearly not easy to spill.
Zhan Zhao coughed lightly, shook the water off his hands, and looked at Bai Yutang anxiously and suspiciously.
What's going on with Bai Yutang today?sick?Have a fever?Is the sun coming out from the west?I really didn't pay attention this morning, did the sun come out from the west?
Su Yuan was also quite frightened, and silently observed Bai Yutang.
Bai Yutang looked back at Su Yuan calmly, and asked her what's wrong in a calm tone.
"It's okay." Su Yuan touched his nose.
"Meow meow--"
"Hey, why is there a cat here?" Zhan Zhao immediately bent down and hugged the little orange cat that came running.
"This is your nephew." Bai Yutang introduced.
Su Yuan: "..."
Zhan Zhao was stunned for a moment, and then he heard Su Yuan explain that the cat was the son she knew, and then he understood.
While stroking the little orange cat's belly, Zhan Zhao asked Su Yuan half-jokingly: "Then, do you have a name for your son?"
"Bai Yuanzi." Bai Yutang said.
Su Yuan, who was about to open his mouth to deny it: "..."
Zhan Zhao took a special look at the cat in his arms to make sure he read it right, "Isn't it orange? Why is it named Bai Yuanzi instead of Huang Yuanzi? Besides, she is your son, why is her surname Bai?"
After Bai Yutang heard the words, he didn't feel embarrassed at all, instead he looked at Su Yuan curiously just like Zhan Zhao.
Su Yuan, who didn't know how to explain it at all: "..."
Hasty!So sloppy!The way she promised Bai Yutang last night was really too hasty!
Su Yuan finally understood why there was such a sentence that was so popular on the Internet.It is said that a woman finds a man to shelter from the wind and rain, but after being together, she finds that all the wind and rain are brought by the man.
These words are simply a true portrayal of her current situation!
"Because it likes to eat white balls, it got this name." Su Yuan racked his brains to explain, "The fish is all white, so I chopped it up and made it into Yuanzi for it to eat."
Zhan Zhao nodded to show he understood, "So its full name is actually Su Bai Yuanzi?"
"That's right." Su Yuan agreed, and sneaked a peek at Bai Yutang.
Bai Yutang raised his eyebrows and glanced back at Su Yuan.
"We, Bai Yuanzi, are so lucky to have found a good mother. She is a good cook and will definitely make you fat!" Zhan Zhao picked up the little orange cat with a smile, and teased the cat like a child. say.
"Brother Zhan, if he has children in the future, he will definitely treat them very well." Su Yuan praised with a smile.
Bai Yutang whispered beside him, "I will too."
Su Yuan took another gouged look at Bai Yutang, thank God that you didn't make trouble!
When Bao Zheng came back in the afternoon, he brought back a piece of good news.
After half an hour of frantic lips and tongue, he finally persuaded the emperor to nod and agree that he would check the accounts of the money supervisor in the household department.But the workload is huge. Even if we deploy as many people as possible, it will take at least ten days to check the accounts of the past three years.
"Now wait patiently for news."
After Bao Zheng finished speaking, he suddenly saw Zhan Zhao coming in with disheveled hair, wearing a coarse gray dress.Looking at him, he looks like a man doing rough work.Bai Yutang came after him, his gorgeous appearance just in sharp contrast with Zhan Zhao.
"This is?" Bao Zheng asked doubtfully.
After Su Yuan saw it, he replied silently in his heart: This is Bai Yutang's 'retaliation' against Zhan Zhao, and Zhan Zhao's active 'dedication' to the investigation.
When Bao Zheng learned that it was Zhan Zhao who played the role of Wang Shuigen, he sighed that he looked alike.
"That's not enough."
Immediately, Bai Yutang greeted Bai Fu, and put a fake mask on Zhan Zhao's face.
Confirmed by Wang Shuigen's acquaintances, Zhan Zhao's appearance is [-]% to [-]% similar to Wang Shuigen's.
Then, it was to use the public hall to pretend to be the Hall of the King of Hades, and all the lights illuminated people's faces from bottom to top, deliberately creating a creepy atmosphere.
At night, Wang Shuifa, who had fallen asleep in the smoke, was brought directly into the hall. After waking up, he was first interrogated by the 'King of Hell', and then 'Wang Shuigen' appeared.When Wang Shuifa saw his second brother, who had been dead for two years, he was so frightened that he f***ed the shit out of him and tried everything.
The situation was exactly as Su Yuan and Zhan Zhao speculated, Wang Shuifa stole the spirit-damaging medicine from the pharmacy in order to avenge Wang Shuigen, and deliberately made Wang Shuigen appear in a trance that day, so that an accident occurred and he fell into the copper water furnace .
Because of the overcrowding of the housing, it is embarrassing that brothers can kill each other.
After the trial of the case was completed, Su Yuan approached Bai Yutang to settle the score.
"When did I name Xiaoju Bai Yuanzi? Why did you name it indiscriminately and not tell me?"
"Your and my son, don't call him Bai, the son of Yuan, what is his name?" Bai Yutang asked back.
Looking up again, Su Yuan's clear eyes met Bai Yutang's again, as if confirming something.
Bai Yutang held Su Yuan's hand tightly to clearly remind her of the current situation.In order not to make her confused about the situation, she would be confused and think of other foods, such as thinking of 'think of me' as 'carrot lettuce' or something like that.If it were someone else, Bai Yutang wouldn't have this kind of worry, but if it was Su Yuan, he felt that everything might be there.
Feeling Bai Yutang's force, Su Yuan lowered his eyes again, looking at Bai Yutang's hand grabbing her.It stands to reason that people who practice martial arts have rough fingers, but his hands are as slender as jade, as outstanding as his appearance.God is still biased, it is not fair to everyone, Bai Yutang is considered to have received the best preferential treatment, apart from his talent, looks and family background, even his fingers are prettier than others.
"What are you thinking?" Bai Yutang saw that Su Yuan was staring at their handshake in a daze, and guessed that Su Yuan must have understood what he meant.
"I'm thinking I haven't made finger cakes yet."
Bai Yutang closed his eyes slightly, he was really going to lose his temper by Su Yuan.
"So the fifth master likes me? He's interested in me?" Because of the natural height difference, Su Yuan had to look up at Bai Yutang.
Only then did Bai Yutang open his eyes, and looked down at her, with a vicissitudes of 'you finally understand' revealed in his eyes.
Su Yuan sighed: "You have to say it directly, otherwise no one will understand. You see, I always asked you directly before, whether the main house is still a concubine, but at that time you answered me as a cook."
Bai Yutang: "..."
Unexpectedly, the moment Su Yuan finally figured out the situation, he would start to settle old scores with him.
"It was different back then." Bai Yutang explained.
"It's not the same. At that time, I saw that the fifth master was good, and knew that he was suitable to be a husband, but the fifth master saw that I was only a material for a cook."
Bai Yutang: "..."
Is he still wrong?
Is it right to talk about marriage casually after meeting a woman twice?
"The joy at first sight is just a superficial emotion. If you make a promise easily because of this, it will be hasty to anyone."
Su Yuan nodded, "It makes sense."
"Besides, what you said was just a joke at the time. Isn't it too much to accuse me of what you said at that time?" Although Bai Yutang was questioning Su Yuan, his voice was low and magnetic, revealing a little tenderness and a little grievance accusation In other words, it sounds a bit lingering.
"It's not a joke. If the fifth master agreed at that time, I would really dare to marry." Su Yuan said frankly.
"So you were tempted by me at that time?" Bai Yutang stared at Su Yuan with an unusually solemn attitude.If this is the case, then his refusal at the beginning must have hurt her, and now he should work harder to make up for the grievances she has suffered.
"I was tempted at the time, but it wasn't the kind of tempting that Fifth Master thought." Su Yuan waved his hand awkwardly, and then touched his nose.
What made her fall in love at the time was Bai Yutang's external conditions, which had nothing to do with feelings.
Bai Yutang's parents are gone, so he is the only one in the family who has the final say, if he marries him, Su Yuan will be the mistress of the Bai Mansion.He is cold-tempered, doesn't know how to nag her, and is not often at home because he has been a chivalrous man all year round, so she is the uncompromising boss of the family.Occasionally, even if someone else comes back, they are good-looking, and it is not a loss to be together.
This kind of rich and salty married life is more low-key and perfect than the single life in Kaifeng Mansion, and it is a long-term solution so that it will not provoke criticism from outsiders.
At that time, if Bai Yutang had really offered her such a generous position, Su Yuan would have agreed willingly.
Of course, Su Yuan knew that with Bai Yutang's temperament, he would definitely not make such a proposal. Everything was just a well-thought-out assumption that would not happen.
Su Yuan has never believed in the relationship between men and women, so she seldom thinks about it. This is why Bai Yutang hinted at her several times, but she failed to understand it.
For Su Yuan, the relationship between men and women is too variable. Few relationships between men and women can stand the cruel test of reality and time. At least the results she has seen are not very good.
Of course, she does not deny the existence of true love in this world, but the reason why true love is so praised and praised by people is not precisely because it is so rare?
Su Yuan never imagined that she would be the one who would be lucky enough to win the big prize by buying a lottery ticket.Taking every step steadily, seeing the reality clearly, and not taking chances is the ultimate way for her to pass the doomsday game.
Therefore, compared to the relationship between a man and a woman whose specific value cannot be estimated, Su Yuan actually prefers things that will not change and can be more intuitively measured.
Bai Yutang is so smart, when Su Yuan pulled his hand after saying that sentence, he immediately understood what Su Yuan meant.
Without hesitation, Bai Yutang took Su Yuan's hand again and interlocked her fingers.
The light from the lantern on the sand elongated the figures of the two holding hands. They were so quiet and beautiful that they looked like a couple of gods, as if walking across the River of Forgetfulness, through the thorns, and spent all the years of reincarnation hand in hand.
"I'm still rich and good-looking."
Bai Yutang's face remained calm, but his hand holding Su Yuan was very tight.
The meaning of his confession is obvious, he doesn't mind Su Yuan's utilitarian choice to be with him.
Su Yuan looked at Bai Yutang in surprise, she never expected to say such words with Bai Yutang's unruly temperament.
After Su Yuan was stunned for a moment, he burst out laughing and sighed 'I got it'.Then she wanted to withdraw her hand again, but Bai Yutang still refused to let go.
"Your answer is?"
"My answer is that the fifth master hurts me, otherwise I would rather let the fifth master hold it." Su Yuanqing complained to Bai Yutang in a playful tone with a smile in her almond eyes.
Bai Yutang immediately let go, and sure enough, he saw that Su Yuan's Bai Nen's hand was reddened by him.He supported Su Yuan's small hand with his big hand, not knowing how to deal with it for a moment.
Su Yuan suggested: "Blow it up?"
Bai Yutang really took Su Yuan's hand and blew a few times.
Su Yuan saw Bai Yutang's performance in the whole process, and the smile on the corner of his mouth gradually deepened.
"Don't look at me because I'm young, in fact, I'm very clear about life,"
Bai Yutang nodded, he already knew this.
Su Yuan just looks like a delicate and lively little girl, but in fact she is smart and resolute, with good eyes and ears, she is a person who sees people and things more clearly than an old man.In addition to her own intelligence, the reason may also have something to do with the calculations and deceptions she has experienced from people around her.
"But I will try to confuse Fifth Master once."
After Su Yuan finished speaking, he turned his hand over and stroked Bai Yutang's cheek.
"I've wanted to touch it for a long time, and it's really easy to touch, and the feel is better than I imagined!"
When Bai Yutang heard the first sentence, his heart beat instantly faster, and when he was brewing feelings, he was shattered by Su Yuan's last hooligan words.
But the ending is good, it's not that Su Yuan doesn't have feelings for him.You must know that the moment Su Yuan pulled his hand for the first time, he really thought that he was about to experience the most heart-wrenching failure for the first time in his life.
"It seems that I am really good-looking in your eyes, so you can't help but do something to me?" Bai Yutang grabbed Su Yuan's troublesome hand, and because of Su Yuan's teasing, he also followed suit.
"Don't blame me, otherwise, whoever makes me confused, I will make him confused!" Su Yuan changed the subject and began to threaten Bai Yutang again.
Bai Yutang couldn't help but chuckled when he saw her warning him fiercely, "Do you think it's useful for you to threaten me like this? With your small body, how can you fool me?"
"That's too many tricks." Su Yuan glanced at Bai Yutang who didn't care, "Anyway, let me explain in advance. Believe it or not, it's up to Fifth Master. Don't regret it when the time comes."
"I don't regret it, I won't do it." Bai Yutang hurriedly pulled Su Yuan's hand, took a look at it before it was red again, and then held her again.
On the way back, the two almost led the horse back to Kaifeng mansion on foot.
"Why don't you think about it again, and I'll think about it again? Why do I think it's a bit fast." When he arrived at the east gate of Kaifeng Mansion, Su Yuan seemed to have the intention of going back on his word.
"Don't think about it."
Bai Yutang was afraid that Su Yuan would change his mind, and told Su Yuan to think more about his wealth and good looks even if he wanted to.
Su Yuan looked carefully at Bai Yutang's handsome face with her clear eyes, and nodded in satisfaction.
"Okay, good night."
Su Yuan turned to leave, but was pulled back by Bai Yutang.Su Yuan almost ran into Bai Yutang's arms, but he controlled it immediately and took a step back to keep a distance.
"We've just held hands on the first day, and it's not appropriate to do any more intimate actions."
Su Yuan thought that Bai Yutang wanted to hug her, but he felt that he was a girl anyway, so he had to pretend to be reserved.This is the same as eating vegetables. If the most hearty main course is served right away, how can the porridge and side dishes be served later?
"He even touched his face." Bai Yutang added.
It was him who held hands, and Su Yuan who touched his face, as if the two of them were not very reserved.Indeed, this is the first day.
Su Yuan thought that Bai Yutang told her this because she also wanted to touch her face, and was stretching her neck, planning to move her face closer, when Bai Yutang suddenly handed her a stack of bank notes.
"The Bai family also has a little property in the capital, and they just collected rent today."
"It's not appropriate for me to accept it." Su Yuan said politely.
"I haven't seen you being polite before."
As soon as Bai Yutang finished speaking, Su Yuan immediately accepted the money.
Since Bai Yutang wants her to be rude, then really don't be polite, otherwise it will make him angry.If she didn't want money, the two of them would be unhappy on the first day they confirmed their relationship, and it wouldn't be worth it.Of course, Su Yuan had to choose to 'sacrifice' himself, and accepted the money first in a 'grievance'.
"I'll give you everything from now on," Bai Yutang said again.
It seems that Bai Yutang is going to implement his principle of 'be rich and look good'.
"That's not necessary, there are a lot of these. And when you go out, it's more handsome and unrestrained for men to pay." Of course women are also unrestrained!But in order to persuade Bai Yutang not to give her too much money, Su Yuan coaxed him.
Bai Yutang didn't insist anymore, and watched Su Yuan go back to his room before turning around and leaving.
……
Early the next morning, Sun He came to ask Su Yuan what he wanted for breakfast, and she was responsible for going out to buy it.
"Anything."
Sun He thought it was a bit strange there, the boss usually took the initiative to order, why did he suddenly become casual today?
He also saw Su Yuan combing her hair in front of the bronze mirror, humming a tune she couldn't understand.
Sun He quietly approached, looked at the radiant Su Yuan in the bronze mirror, and asked softly, "Boss, did you meet any happy event?"
"I don't know if it's a happy event or not." Su Yuan pondered for a while, and told Sun He about her and Bai Yutang's situation last night. Anyway, he couldn't hide this matter from Sun He.
"Oh my god, you guys—" Sun He stared in shock, and covered his mouth in surprise, "Juju got together so soon! Heaven has eyes, I didn't pray in vain, it's really great !"
"Remember to keep it secret, this is just the beginning, and the number has not yet been determined."
"That is required!"
After Sun He made the promise, he immediately said that he would have a good celebration.Starting from today's breakfast, it must be rich.
Su Yuan wanted to give Sun He money, but Sun He refused, and insisted on paying for it himself.
Half an hour later, the waiter from the Yaoguang Building came to deliver a variety of breakfasts. The dry ones included steamed buns with bamboo shoots and meat, sesame seed cakes, kernel and cherry cakes, etc., and the rare ones included Qunxian Soup, Bijian Soup, and Zacai Soup. , spicy fish soup, bean porridge, plum soup cake, shepherd's purse and mutton wonton, etc.
Su Yuan counted. Although it was all breakfast, it was not at all smaller than the luncheon that Su Fangming sent last time.
Su Yuan pulled Sun He back, "Your battle is too big, did you spend all your private house?"
Sun He glanced at Su Yuan's face cautiously, and explained to Su Yuan nervously, "I originally wanted to spend 100 taels of silver as the cost of the whole day's celebration."
Su Yuan felt that it was a lot of money to spend the whole day, but if he used the 100 taels to order Yaoguanglou's meals, the breakfast alone would not be enough.
"I originally planned to go to a few more stores and buy all the breakfasts that the boss loves to eat on the west side of the city and the state bridge."
Su Yuan nodded, "It's hard for you to have a heart."
The total cost of these is less than ten taels of silver, but it can already buy a very rich and delicious breakfast.
"But I met Uncle Su halfway. He asked me what I was going to do, and I really only said one sentence! I told him that I was going to buy breakfast for the boss to celebrate. He asked me what to celebrate, but I didn't say, he Then he laughed and told me not to buy it, he would order Yaoguanglou to deliver the food to celebrate the boss and Fifth Master Bai together."
Sun He pitifully raised her hand and swore to Su Yuan that she really didn't reveal anything, but she didn't know why Su Fangming guessed so accurately.
The boss had just ordered her to keep it a secret, but she made the secret known to the fourth person in a blink of an eye.
"Boss, I suggest that we eat this breakfast by ourselves, and not give it to Mr. Bao and others. They are so smart, and they will definitely guess like Uncle Su." Sun He was already frightened by Su Fangming.
"As soon as Yaoguanglou came to deliver the food, we couldn't hide it. Moreover, there are so many meals, and the price is not cheap. We can't finish them. The taste will change after a long time. It is shameful to waste."
Su Yuan rubbed his chin, thinking he had to find a reason to celebrate.
"I really want to hear the meowing of a cat?" Su Yuan listened carefully out of the window.
Sun He suddenly remembered, and immediately ran back to his room next door, and brought a little orange civet cat.The kitten is about one and a half months old. It is fluffy all over, with round and bright yellow-green eyes. It not only loves to bark, but also is mischievous and playful.
"Where did you get it?" Su Yuan teased the little orange cat as he held it in his arms.
"I picked it up on the street yesterday. I waited there for a long time, and even asked people nearby, but no one recognized the cat."
After half a stick of incense, Bao Zheng, Gongsun Ce and others got together to have breakfast.
Bai Yutang also arrived shortly after, and immediately recognized that these were breakfasts from Yaoguanglou.He also heard Wang Chao say that the meal was a celebration, so he immediately looked at Su Yuan.
Bai Yutang raised the corners of his mouth in a good mood——
"You can't guess what Miss Su is celebrating with such a big fight?"
"Oh?" Bai Yutang promised like this, but he had a certain idea in his heart, so much happened last night, apart from the fact that they were together, Su Yuan could congratulate him, nothing else.But he didn't expect Su Yuan to disclose their relationship to everyone so soon.
Chao Chao suddenly bent down and got under the table, and then brought out a little orange cat and sent it to Bai Yutang.
"Dangdang! It's for it!"
Bai Yutang frowned, and glanced at the little orange cat that was flailing its paws at him.
"Miss Su said that this is the son she recognized, so she wanted to hold a banquet to celebrate." Wang Chao hugged the little orange cat and patted its head.
Bai Yutang stretched out his hand and grabbed the little orange cat into his arms. Just as Wang Chao wanted to have an opinion, he heard Bai Yutang ask him back.
"Not on duty for a while?"
"Ah yes." Wang Chao hurried to eat.
Su Yuan came in with a plate of washed peaches, and seeing Bai Yutang hugging the little orange cat, couldn't help laughing, "Skipping breakfast? Why are you hugging it?"
Bai Yutang saw that Bao Zheng and the others were eating, and no one noticed them, so he whispered to Su Yuan, "We just got together yesterday, and I heard that we have a son today? I want to take a look."
Su Yuan blushed suddenly, and glared at Bai Yutang.
During the entire breakfast, Su Yuan avoided visiting Bai Yutang.On the contrary, Bai Yutang seemed to really like that orange cat, and even let the little orange cat squat in his arms when eating.
Seeing this, everyone couldn't help sighing, who would have thought that the indifferent Bai Wuye would be more tender to cats than to humans.Wang Chao and the others, who usually had Bai Yutang's cold face, sighed that they were worse than cats.
After the meal, Gongsun Ce called over to Su Yuan and asked her the reason for such a big celebration this morning. It would be too much to say that she just celebrated the adoption of a cat son.
In fact, everyone has this idea, but there is food and it is busy, so it is not good to ask too many questions.
"It wasn't such a big fight, I just asked Sun He to buy some hearty breakfast. I met Uncle Su on the way, and he took the initiative to pay for these." Su Yuan explained.
Bai Yutang was listening, so he naturally understood what happened, so he couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips, and teased the little orange cat in his arms with his fingers.We should give him a name, Bai Yuanzi sounds nice.
Bao Zheng sighed: "This Su Fangming really treats you like a real sister."
"His character is not bad." Gongsun Ce still frowned, and told Su Yuandao worriedly, "But you haven't recognized your relatives yet, if you move around frequently, it will be easy to be talked about. If Su Jinjing knows, I'm afraid it won't be safe."
Su Yuan promised, "Master, don't worry, I will pay attention to propriety."
Then she sent a message to Su Fangming, reminding him to keep her relationship with Bai Yutang a secret.They have indeed come and gone a little frequently recently, so they should be cautious.
Su Fangming then replied that he agreed with Su Yuan, and told Su Yuan that Daoist Wang Chuan went to Su's house yesterday and chatted with Su Jinjing in the room for more than half an hour before leaving.Because Su Jinjing's cronies were guarding outside the room, Su Fangming couldn't hear the conversation.
"What do you think he's going to hide from his own son?" Su Yuan asked Bai Yutang on the way to find Mr. Bao.
"Mostly it has something to do with you. A few days ago you made him half dead. Now that we see you again, Daoist Wang Chuan who gave you a life sentence, you must be mentioned."
Bai Yutang originally wanted to ask Su Yuan if he wanted him to take action, but in a blink of an eye Su Yuan didn't seem to be concerned about this matter, he just nodded casually and then analyzed the situation of the Wang family with him.
"Tonight we're going to scare that Wang Shuifa."
"Now there is no clear evidence, do you think Master Bao will agree with your idea?" Bai Yutang asked Su Yuan.
"Fairies have wonderful mouths." Su Yuan pointed to her mouth proudly.
Bai Yutang's eyes followed the trend and fell on the light pink cherry lips, and then his Adam's apple rolled, his gaze was restrained, and he looked elsewhere.
But Bai Yutang didn't expect that the first thing that Su Yuan asked Bao Zheng when she entered the door was not that she wanted to scare Wang Shuifa, but that she asked Bao Zheng, Bingming Emperor, to thoroughly investigate the accounts of the money supervisor in the household department.
"What did you say? Thoroughly check the accounts of the money supervisor in the household department?"
Both Gongsun Ce and Bao Zheng were very surprised.
"Do you know that the thorough investigation of the Qianjian's accounts is to show that our Kaifeng government is suspecting that the officials of the Qianjian are greedy for money and stealing money. This is a very serious accusation, and there must be a very legitimate reason, and it must be reported to His Majesty for permission." The amount involved in the Gudao Tibetan Bank case that happened before was too small, and the case was cleared and tried, so it is not enough to be a reason." Gongsun Ce explained to Su Yuan carefully.
Su Yuan nodded to express her understanding, and also said that apart from Wang Shuisheng's death, she really had no other evidence to show that Qian Jian's accounts were suspicious.
"But why do you have to have doubts before you can check the money of the Qianjian? That place is prone to moths, so it's good to check it again and plan ahead to avoid the loss of the treasury?"
"Then there must be an opportunity." Gongsun Ce sighed.
After Wang Shuisheng died, the Kaifeng government thoroughly checked the Wang family's family assets, and there was nothing suspicious about it.It's not that Jian Qian has never died before. If every time this reason is used to mobilize people to check Qian Jian's huge accounts, then there will be no rules and chaos, and the emperor will definitely not agree.
"It doesn't necessarily have to be direct evidence such as throwing silver. If there are enough doubts, it is fine to convince His Majesty."
Bao Zheng asked Su Yuan to tell her what details she had noticed were wrong.
"Before Wang Shuisheng died, the craftsmen said that he was in a good mood, and they also said that he would quit his job and move out of Tokyo, so that the family would no longer have to stay in Tokyo and live in a small house.
At least he was in charge of the Qiandongsuo, and this kind of work might not be found elsewhere.Even though the Wang family sold their house in Beijing and bought houses and fields in places where the land was cheap, after all, apart from farming and relying on the sky for food, the family has no other income.
This is good and bad, right?But Wang Shuisheng's performance is completely happy, not sad. "
"Perhaps the place where they bought the land was really cheap enough for them to live on." Bao Zheng felt that this possibility cannot be ruled out, some people are more likely to be content and happy.
"But if the Wang family could have sold their house in this way long ago, and moved to other places to live a leisurely life without having to live in such a crowded place. Then why didn't they do this two years ago, when Wang Shuigen died or before?
The eldest son will continue to work in the place where the second son died tragically, and the place is still haunted. If it is not because of the pressure of life, who would not want to avoid this?
The second daughter-in-law had just lost her husband and became a widow, but she could not have a separate room with the two children, so she was forced to return to her mother's house to become a widow.It was actually a bit embarrassing for this matter to spread to the outside world, but the Wang family did not take any action at that time. "
"Just before Wang Shuisheng's death, the Wang family decided to sell their house and leave Tokyo. What was the opportunity that caused Wang Shuisheng to decide this matter at this time?"
Su Yuan asked the old couple of the Wang family yesterday, and both of them said that the decision was made by the eldest son Wang Shuisheng alone. The two elders were old, and they agreed after several persuasions, but they didn't know the reason why Wang Shuisheng suddenly made such a fuss. what is it.
"After such an analysis, it is indeed a bit strange. The cause of Wang Shuisheng's death was that after the silver needle was pierced into Fengfu Point, he fell into the furnace and died. It's much easier to connect Shuisheng's death with money." Gongsun Ce said with emotion.
"There were no abandoned lanterns at the scene of Wang Shuisheng's death. After the murder, the murderer had to climb over the wall and return to Qianxisuo. For convenience and to avoid people's attention, it was definitely impossible to carry the lantern. So the two of them should have taken advantage of the darkness. , For some unknown reason, he climbed onto the stove. Under the cloudy moonlight, the murderer managed to find out the location of Wang Shuisheng's Fengfu acupoint, and stunned him with a single needle of ingenuity.
Therefore, the murderer must be proficient in medicine. "
Bai Yutang told Bao Zheng and Gongsun Cehe that he had asked people to investigate the suspects on the list of the Qianxi Institute that night according to this condition.
"But if I know medical skills, why bother to do the hard work of a craftsman in Qianjian?" Su Yuan asked rhetorically, which made Bao Zheng and Gongsun Ce tremble in their hearts.
"But if you are an official, there is such a possibility." Bai Yutang immediately expressed what the two of them thought.
After thinking about it, Bao Zheng felt that Su Yuan's worry was justified. This matter was too deliberate, especially when it happened in a place like Qianjian, and it should be strictly investigated.It's better to be busy in vain than to let moths hide from the sky and empty the treasury.
Bao Zheng tidied up and hurried into the palace.
Zhan Zhao then finished his busy work and came back.He told Su Yuan and Bai Yutang that he had carefully investigated what happened to Wang Shuigen two years ago before he fell into the furnace and died.
"Three craftsmen still remember that when Wang Shuigen was in a trance when he went to work, he was in a trance, and he called him twice before responding. Some people even found him sweating. The job of throwing copper pieces into the copper water furnace is everyone's job. They do it in turn, and that day happened to be Wang Shuigen's turn."
Zhan Zhao immediately raised his doubts, he felt that Wang Shuigen fell into the copper water furnace and died, most likely it was not accidental.
"Did you get drugged?" Su Yuan asked.
Zhan Zhao nodded hurriedly, and immediately said, "Those who know me are Yuan Yuan."
"Yuanyuan is also your name?" Bai Yutang asked Zhan Zhao in an unhappy tone.
Zhan Zhao was puzzled, "Why can't I call her that? All the old yamen servants in the mansion call her that, why are my children taboo, and besides, I'm Su Yuan's big brother."
After Zhan Zhao finished speaking, he saw that Bai Yutang still looked unhappy, and asked him, "It's you, why are you acting like a food protector?"
Bai Yutang immediately looked at Zhan Zhao sharply, and was about to refute him with harsher words when Su Yuan coughed.
"Brother Zhan has been investigating for a while, let's drink a cup of tea." After Su Yuan gave tea to Zhan Zhao, seeing Bai Yutang staring at him, he also gave him a cup of tea.
After Bai Yutang took the tea, his eyes were still very concerned, especially when he heard Su Yuan call Zhan Zhao as 'Brother Zhan' to his face.
"Ancestor Bai, drink tea." Su Yuan winked at him.
This person who loves to eat really wants to be served like an ancestor.
Bai Yutang immediately remembered that he had quarreled with Su Yuan before, saying that if she was called Big Brother Zhan Zhao, she should call him Patriarch Bai.Today, the wish has come true.
Bai Yutang's gaze softened, knowing that Su Yuan was wronging himself in order to reconcile his relationship with Zhan Zhao.It's his fault.
"You don't need to worry about scaring Wang Shui tonight, I will come alone." Bai Yutang said.
"Hey, are you planning to scare Wang Shuifa tonight?"
Zhan Zhao had just taken two sips of tea to moisten his throat, and he was so happy when he heard Bai Yutang's words that he raised his volume a little.
"Then let's go together! Did you also find out that Wang Shuifa was working as a clerk in a medicine shop, and suspect that he gave Wang Shuigen medicine?"
"Brother Zhan is also so suspicious?" Su Yuan asked with a smile.
"Yes, I also found out that Wang Shuifa had conflicts with his second brother Wang Shuigen two years ago. Wang Shuigen thought the house was too crowded, so he always wanted to send Wang Shuifa's family to live outside the city, and said that he could farm for food for his family. The reason is that he and his elder brother Wang Shuisheng both worked in the household department and earned a lot of money. Wang Shuifa worked as a pharmacy clerk and earned a little, and he hadn’t been able to add any grandchildren to the Wang family, only two useless daughters.”
Su Yuan was puzzled, and asked Zhan Zhao where he got the news.
"Yesterday we went to the Wang's house, but no one said anything about it. We also asked the neighbors nearby, and they all said very general things. No one talked about these inside stories."
Zhan Zhao said with a hearty smile: "I might really have to do it myself. I also went to ask the neighbors of the Wang family. It just so happened that one of them was close to Wang Shuifa on weekdays and knew something about it. Their family has lived together for several years I have received help before, and I can’t remember the little things that I drew my sword to help when I saw injustice. I can’t remember it myself, but they remember it. When they saw me, they would call out benefactors, kowtow to thank them, and answer honestly when they asked.”
Su Yuan nodded in agreement: "Then you really need Brother Zhan to do it."
After Su Yuan finished speaking, she glanced at Bai Yutang subconsciously, and found that Bai Yutang was still drinking tea as usual, and didn't care about her calling Zhan Zhao as Zhan's eldest brother as before.
This is a big improvement, have you figured it out?
"So I'm the one who scares you tonight! If Wang Shuifa really wanted to kill his own brother because his second brother rejected him, then this person can't be let go. We have to find a way." Let him confess."
"Okay." Su Yuan agreed.
Zhan Zhao smiled at Su Yuan, picked up the teacup and was about to take another sip of tea——
"Then it will be troublesome for Big Brother Zhan to play the role of Wang Shuigen, you two are similar in stature," Bai Yutang said.
Zhan Zhao suddenly heard Bai Yutang calling himself 'Brother Zhan', his hands shook, and he spilled the half bowl of tea that was clearly not easy to spill.
Zhan Zhao coughed lightly, shook the water off his hands, and looked at Bai Yutang anxiously and suspiciously.
What's going on with Bai Yutang today?sick?Have a fever?Is the sun coming out from the west?I really didn't pay attention this morning, did the sun come out from the west?
Su Yuan was also quite frightened, and silently observed Bai Yutang.
Bai Yutang looked back at Su Yuan calmly, and asked her what's wrong in a calm tone.
"It's okay." Su Yuan touched his nose.
"Meow meow--"
"Hey, why is there a cat here?" Zhan Zhao immediately bent down and hugged the little orange cat that came running.
"This is your nephew." Bai Yutang introduced.
Su Yuan: "..."
Zhan Zhao was stunned for a moment, and then he heard Su Yuan explain that the cat was the son she knew, and then he understood.
While stroking the little orange cat's belly, Zhan Zhao asked Su Yuan half-jokingly: "Then, do you have a name for your son?"
"Bai Yuanzi." Bai Yutang said.
Su Yuan, who was about to open his mouth to deny it: "..."
Zhan Zhao took a special look at the cat in his arms to make sure he read it right, "Isn't it orange? Why is it named Bai Yuanzi instead of Huang Yuanzi? Besides, she is your son, why is her surname Bai?"
After Bai Yutang heard the words, he didn't feel embarrassed at all, instead he looked at Su Yuan curiously just like Zhan Zhao.
Su Yuan, who didn't know how to explain it at all: "..."
Hasty!So sloppy!The way she promised Bai Yutang last night was really too hasty!
Su Yuan finally understood why there was such a sentence that was so popular on the Internet.It is said that a woman finds a man to shelter from the wind and rain, but after being together, she finds that all the wind and rain are brought by the man.
These words are simply a true portrayal of her current situation!
"Because it likes to eat white balls, it got this name." Su Yuan racked his brains to explain, "The fish is all white, so I chopped it up and made it into Yuanzi for it to eat."
Zhan Zhao nodded to show he understood, "So its full name is actually Su Bai Yuanzi?"
"That's right." Su Yuan agreed, and sneaked a peek at Bai Yutang.
Bai Yutang raised his eyebrows and glanced back at Su Yuan.
"We, Bai Yuanzi, are so lucky to have found a good mother. She is a good cook and will definitely make you fat!" Zhan Zhao picked up the little orange cat with a smile, and teased the cat like a child. say.
"Brother Zhan, if he has children in the future, he will definitely treat them very well." Su Yuan praised with a smile.
Bai Yutang whispered beside him, "I will too."
Su Yuan took another gouged look at Bai Yutang, thank God that you didn't make trouble!
When Bao Zheng came back in the afternoon, he brought back a piece of good news.
After half an hour of frantic lips and tongue, he finally persuaded the emperor to nod and agree that he would check the accounts of the money supervisor in the household department.But the workload is huge. Even if we deploy as many people as possible, it will take at least ten days to check the accounts of the past three years.
"Now wait patiently for news."
After Bao Zheng finished speaking, he suddenly saw Zhan Zhao coming in with disheveled hair, wearing a coarse gray dress.Looking at him, he looks like a man doing rough work.Bai Yutang came after him, his gorgeous appearance just in sharp contrast with Zhan Zhao.
"This is?" Bao Zheng asked doubtfully.
After Su Yuan saw it, he replied silently in his heart: This is Bai Yutang's 'retaliation' against Zhan Zhao, and Zhan Zhao's active 'dedication' to the investigation.
When Bao Zheng learned that it was Zhan Zhao who played the role of Wang Shuigen, he sighed that he looked alike.
"That's not enough."
Immediately, Bai Yutang greeted Bai Fu, and put a fake mask on Zhan Zhao's face.
Confirmed by Wang Shuigen's acquaintances, Zhan Zhao's appearance is [-]% to [-]% similar to Wang Shuigen's.
Then, it was to use the public hall to pretend to be the Hall of the King of Hades, and all the lights illuminated people's faces from bottom to top, deliberately creating a creepy atmosphere.
At night, Wang Shuifa, who had fallen asleep in the smoke, was brought directly into the hall. After waking up, he was first interrogated by the 'King of Hell', and then 'Wang Shuigen' appeared.When Wang Shuifa saw his second brother, who had been dead for two years, he was so frightened that he f***ed the shit out of him and tried everything.
The situation was exactly as Su Yuan and Zhan Zhao speculated, Wang Shuifa stole the spirit-damaging medicine from the pharmacy in order to avenge Wang Shuigen, and deliberately made Wang Shuigen appear in a trance that day, so that an accident occurred and he fell into the copper water furnace .
Because of the overcrowding of the housing, it is embarrassing that brothers can kill each other.
After the trial of the case was completed, Su Yuan approached Bai Yutang to settle the score.
"When did I name Xiaoju Bai Yuanzi? Why did you name it indiscriminately and not tell me?"
"Your and my son, don't call him Bai, the son of Yuan, what is his name?" Bai Yutang asked back.
