Princess Jinyang of the Tang Dynasty

"Where did the Taoist woman come from?" Li Mingda asked.

Li Jingheng: "It's been too long. That Daoist woman named Jingxin Sanren originally lived in the Plum Blossom Temple outside the city, but she took her little apprentice to travel around two years ago and never came back."

"I've heard of this person before," Fang Yi sighed, "In the past two years, he was somewhat famous."

"She is really not like some Taoist priests nowadays. She is mostly cheating and abducting, and her words are not accurate. I said that this Taoist woman is very accurate in seeing people, and she is also good at doing things. However, no one who invited her did not praise her for being amazing. .” Li Jingheng said.

Li Mingda looked at Fang Yizhi questioningly.

Fang Yi shook his head, "My family never invites Taoist priests or concubines. This Jingxin Sanren just heard about it from other people, and has never met himself."

Li Mingda nodded, picked up a pen and wrote down the Taoist name on the paper.Since it's been a long time and she's gone, it doesn't make much sense to investigate her again.But for some reason, Li Mingda still wanted to write down the Dao Po Dao name.

"After you joined Mutual Help, have you ever sought anything other than sex?" Li Mingda continued to ask.

Li Jingheng shook his head, "I live peacefully and smoothly every day, and I don't have anything else to ask for. If something happens to me, they won't be able to help me with small troubles, such as my father's corruption and demotion this time. Actually "Mutual help" can only be used for trivial matters."

Li Mingda then asked whether the connection between Li Jingheng and Mutual Help was all through Shi Hongyu, and whether there were other ways.

Li Jingheng said: "When they contacted me for the first time, it was a letter with a fake name, and it was the same with their subsequent letters. They told me Shi Hongyu's origin, places where she often appeared, etc. in the letter. She waited at the place where she often appeared, and she was waiting for her. After that, Shi Hongyu confessed to me that she also joined the "mutual help", and now she is willing to "contribute" to see me after a lot of consideration. She also said As long as she helps me, her position in the mutual help will be different. She said that she is seeking power, and I am seeking sex. Everyone should be honest, and it is just right for everyone to get what they need. She also told me, You must abide by the rules of 'mutual help' honestly, or you will be in bad luck. I was not afraid of this kind of threat, but her explanation later surprised me a bit. He told me that even small people have scary things .For example, everything I eat, drink, and wear has to go through the hands of little people."

When Li Jingheng recalled what happened at that time, there was still a mocking smile on the corner of his mouth.He has admiration for Shi Hongyu, but also disgust.

Li Mingda: "You knew she was using you, but you were still willing. It seems that you really liked Shi Hongyu at the time. Even though we said that she had affairs with many men, you still haven't stopped your appreciation for her. "

Li Jingheng was startled, then frowned tightly.

Fang Yizhi: "What exactly is this woman going to do?"

"I'm also puzzled. If she really wants power, then she should have a high status in helping each other. After all, even the prince of the county is being played by him and applauded." Li Mingda glanced at Li Jingheng deliberately.

Li Jingheng frowned fiercely.At first he thought he was playing with Shi Hongyu, but now it seems that Shi Hongyu is playing with him.

Li Mingda continued to dig into the details, "You received a letter from a fake name for the first time, and then replied, how did you reply? At that time, there was no Shi Hongyu to help you pass the message."

"I forgot to mention this. The contact method is written on the fake letter. Go out from the Suzaku Gate, go straight and come across the first forest. Follow the first row of trees on the right and count inside. The sixth Under the tree. You need to bury the reply letter wrapped in a coir leaf under the root of the tree, and then press a big stone on it."

"Don't tell me you're not curious about their identities, did you send someone to investigate?" From what he knew about Li Jingheng, Li Mingda knew that he couldn't be so quiet and obedient.

Li Jingheng smiled, "Your lord really understands me. I did send someone to watch over there, wondering who dared to send me such a letter. Anyone who receives such a letter will have some curiosity. I asked at the time The guard who was in charge of receiving the letter did not know what kind of sender the letter was. He said it was a domestic servant with an ordinary appearance. After reporting the origin and delivering the letter, he disappeared immediately.

At that time, the messenger was riding a horse. Everyone knew that people of this ordinary status did not have horses.When the guard saw the horseman coming, he naturally did not doubt his reported identity.

At that time, I knew that there was some ability to help each other.They sent someone to stay overnight near the woods. Who would have thought that someone would deliver a letter the next morning, but this time the letter was delivered by an unsuspecting commoner.I opened the letter and saw that they knew that I sent people to guard it.Warn me that if I don't obey the rules, remove the person immediately, and they will never contact me again.And he also specifically told me that if similar things are discovered in the future, there will be punishment, but he didn't say what the punishment is. "

"It must be prepared, otherwise they would not dare to attack you, the son of the county prince." Fang Yi commented directly.

Li Mingda nodded in agreement, then stared at Li Jingheng, and continued to focus on the details, "You keep saying that he faked his name, but you didn't clarify whose name he faked?

"Really, you haven't said it all this time, hahaha..." Li Jingheng smiled awkwardly, and he glanced at Li Mingda hesitantly, "It's all a fake name anyway, it doesn't really matter who it is."

"You deliberately don't say it, that's important." After Li Mingda finished speaking, he observed Li Jingheng's face, and found that he looked at him a little strangely, maybe the person whose name was faked had something to do with him.

"I really don't think it's necessary for this person to say anything." Li Jingheng still insisted.

"Cousin is a big man, do you have to be so hesitant when you talk?" Li Mingda deliberately provoked him.

Li Jingheng looked at Li Mingda, and confided in embarrassment: "It's... King Wei."

"Fourth Prince?" Li Mingda asked for confirmation.

Seeing that Li Mingda's reaction was not violent, Li Jingheng felt that he was making a fuss out of a molehill.So when he answered Li Mingda's questions, he was much more straightforward.

"That's what the person who sent the letter said at the time, but it's not credible." Li Jingheng didn't want to involve Li Tai at all, and he didn't even want to mention it, because he was the most difficult to provoke among the many princes.

Li Mingda saw Li Jingheng's reaction in his eyes, and then asked: "You have been honest since you received the warning letter, and you haven't investigated it again?"

"Yes, I didn't check again at that time," Li Jingheng said, "It's been more than a year since the second follow-up, about half a year ago, that's when I confessed that I followed Shi Hongyu's connector."

"According to my cousin's temperament, he shouldn't be so quiet. Do you feel more or less in your heart that this matter may really have something to do with King Wei, so when they warned you for the first time, you really Obedient?" Li Mingda asked.

Li Jingheng frowned and said: "Maybe it has something to do with it. I actually think it's impossible, but I can't help but think that since the other party can detect my stalking, they must have some ability. What if it is him? If you send the letter in a different way, the other party will definitely feel that the impostor has nothing to do with the "mutual help" in the letter. But with King Wei's boldness, it is not impossible for him to do the opposite."

After Li Jingheng finished speaking, he quietly glanced at Li Mingda, worried that what he said would not please her.If Li Mingda told the king of Wei about these words later, causing him to be hated by the king of Wei, then he would really be happy.Even if the king of Jin interceded for help, he would not be able to hold back the king of Wei.

"Makes sense."

Li Mingda's sigh made Li Jingheng heaved a sigh of relief.

Li Mingda immediately saw Li Jingheng's reaction, and he realized that Li Jingheng was very afraid of her fourth brother Li Tai.

"So..." Li Mingda suddenly understood why Li Jingheng, as the son of the dignified county prince, could indulge Shi Hongyu and help each other for so long, "When you checked Shi Hongyu for the second time, you found that the person who connected with him was in the wanton building. You guess that this matter is related to my fourth brother, so you dare not investigate further, enough is enough."

Li Jingheng looked at Li Mingda guiltily, hesitated for a moment, and nodded in recognition. "It's not a big deal at all. If it really has something to do with the King of Wei, I'd be too ignorant to go into it."

"You are really afraid of King Wei." Li Mingda had to sigh.

"Of course your lord doesn't understand, the king of Wei has always been very negotiable in front of you. It's not easy to get along with us." Li Jingheng sighed, and asked Fang Yizhi, "Is that right?"

Fang Yi looked back at Li Jingheng, he could answer, but his answer was not what Li Jingheng wanted.

Li Jingheng and Fang Yizhi looked at each other without receiving a response, and suddenly understood, "Could it be that King Wei is also very kind to you?"

Fang Yizhi: "He invited me to the palace several times."

Wei Wang's attitude towards Fang Yizhi was "hospitality" and "active invitation", which is certainly not a "bad relationship" in Fang Yizhi's view.

Li Jingheng almost forgot that Fang Yizhi is not ordinary.In the eyes of King Wei, Fang Yizhi and Princess Jinyang are probably special people, so he treats them differently from others.

Tsk tsk, this comparison.

Li Jingheng felt that he shouldn't pretend to be smart, so he came back to find excitement.

"If I knew you were afraid of King Wei, I should have invited him to interrogate you earlier. I would have saved you from going around and spending so much time." Li Mingda sighed.

"But this matter...the relationship with King Wei has not yet been clarified. If your lord invites him to interrogate me, it is very likely to scare the snake." Li Jingheng laughed.

Li Mingda frowned, "I think you are smart when you are smart, but you are also stupid when you are stupid. If you were the king of Wei and advocated helping each other, you would use your own name when sending letters at first. Then he sent the contact person to stay in the wanton building under his name for a long time. The purpose of so much effort to pass on the news before was to hide the true identity of the person behind the scenes. In the end, he took a cautious step and easily exposed it in the next step. How could it be possible? .”

Li Jingheng was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "It is impossible to say that it is King Wei, I am overthinking."

"I'll check with him later." Li Mingda said.

"Since it's unlikely to be him, don't ask. King Wei is busy with affairs every day, so why bother him with these unnecessary things. Of course, if your lord insists on mentioning it, don't mention me." Li Jingheng begged road.

"But Fang Shizi and I heard what you said just now. It's a little late for you to want to clean yourself up now." Li Mingda's eyebrows were crooked, and there was a hint of threat in his smile.

Li Jingheng panicked, "I didn't want to say it, but you asked me to—"

"It's useless to make excuses right now. I could have protected you and promised not to mention you in front of him. But you performed really badly during the interrogation just now. You made excuses a few times Us, lie with us, pretend to be confused, and play tricks." Since he was afraid of King Wei, Li Mingda of course wanted to use this to scare him.

"I was wrong, sincerely wrong, and sincerely apologize." Li Jingheng saluted Li Mingda again and again, "I, Li Jingheng, immediately swear that from now on, I will tell you what you ask, and I promise to tell the truth without lies."

"Let your subordinates take us to find the man who joined Shi Hongyu."

Li Jingheng immediately agreed, saying that there is no problem.

Li Mingda stared at Li Jingheng, "Did Shi Hongyu tell you who her master is?"

"That's the connector!" Li Jingheng replied quickly, and then added an explanation, "She always called this connector the master in front of me."

At this time, Li Mingda took Miao Feifei's testimony from Fang Yizhi, and Fang Yizhi drew a few words with a cinnabar pen.

"Does she know Mrs. Du?" Li Mingda asked Li Jingheng based on Miao Feifei's confession after reading Kouhua's testimony.

Li Jingheng was surprised, probably did not expect Li Mingda to ask this question.

"When she brought up the matter of my father hiding gold and threatened me, we discussed it. She also told me about my father and Mrs. Du. I forgot all the details. I just remember that I was very dissatisfied with Shi Hongyu's threats at the time. But after she finished speaking, she would hold her own and step back, saying that she didn't want to offend me, but just hoped that I could stay and help each other and not go back on my word. Miao Feifei, a famous prostitute in the city, got here, and I didn’t bother with her after that.” Li Jingheng couldn’t help sighing, “In retrospect, I was really set up by her, and I fell into it step by step. I just knew I was in a deep trap. Still can't pull it out. This woman Shi Hongyu is so vicious."

"Actually, when it comes to deep traps, you are far inferior to those four cooks in Fengyuelou. They killed and mutilated corpses by themselves for Shi Hongyu." Li Mingda said.

"I heard about this case later, and the insider described it with their mouths. I felt that the scene was very disgusting. It's hard for the princess and Yi Zhi to try the case in person. To be honest, I admire the two investigators who investigated the case. To!" Li Jingheng saluted.

"Stop flattering, your business is not over yet." Li Mingda asked Fang Yizhi what he wanted to ask, and seeing Fang Yi shook his head, Li Mingda asked someone to arrange for Li Jingheng to stay at Yuchi Baoqi's house temporarily.But during this period, he can't leave alone casually, there will be guards accompanying him to supervise him. "Of course, I can also arrange for you to live in Wei Wangfu, but I'm just afraid that you won't be used to it."

"I'm not used to it. Your lord's original arrangement is already very good."

Li Jingheng quickly thanked him.

"By the way, there is actually one more important thing that we haven't told Shizi yet." Fang Yi said directly.

Li Mingda also looked at him suspiciously at this time, she wanted to know what important things she had left behind.

Fang Yizhi immediately told Li Jingheng how Shi Hongyu set a trap and almost hurt the princess with a box.Li Jingheng was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat, and then looked at Li Mingda with great concern.Although Li Jingheng knew that the matter was over and Li Mingda was safe now, he was still very nervous about what happened to Li Mingda at that time.

"You should be nervous about me. Because this matter is also related to your life and death." Li Mingda also realized Fang Yizhi's intention at this time, and took the opportunity to threaten Li Jingheng, "After all, Shi Hongyu has a close relationship with you. People who have been in contact with me. If there is something wrong with me, you must be involved in this matter. And I haven’t told the saint about this matter. After I said it, do you think you can sit in front of us and chat so easily now? Are you so If you want an imperial decree, I can get one for you right now!"

"No, no, no imperial decree is needed, I really don't need it. I was wrong, wrong! My God! This woman must be crazy!"

Li Jingheng seemed to have been slashed twice on the head.At this moment, he deeply regretted that he started talking nonsense and sophistry.Why was he so stupid before, he thought that the other party had no evidence, and he just killed Shi Hongyu and Shi Hongyu in a purely male-female relationship, and he would be fine.From the beginning of his father's affair, Li Jingheng felt that Li Mingda was unreasonable.But now it seems that she has really given him face and is very humane.

Li Jingheng blinked aggrievedly, and repeatedly saluted and apologized to Li Mingda.I am also very grateful to her for being able to hide this matter from the saint.This saved not only his life, but their entire Jiangxia Palace.They have already made mistakes because of embezzlement of the state treasury. The princess is the heart and soul of the saint. If they touch the bottom line of the saint during this period, there must be a dead end.

Empress Li Jingheng was terrified, thinking about his virtue at the beginning, he really deserved a beating, not to mention Princess Jinyang, he wanted to beat himself to death at that time.

After Li Jingheng apologized repeatedly, Fang honestly withdrew.

Li Mingda leaned in front of Fang Yizhi, and reconsidered the case with Fang Yizhi.

"The map of the gold mine has been processed and hidden inside the fake map with great care. But when Shi Hongyu saw the map from Baoqi, she must have copied it in a hurry. After that, she left immediately and went to Chang'an City. Go, the map was supposed to be a piece of sheepskin back then, and she hadn't had the time to bother to hide the map like this.

At that time, she should have found someone following her on the way, so she turned around and went to Fengyue Tower to escape.I guess she should have realized that we set up a trap to lure the snake out of the hole, and she had been exposed.So she planned to take advantage of the opportunity in the Wind and Rain Building to get away completely.The four cooks have long been fascinated by her and are at her mercy.It just so happened that there was a 'stand-in' available in the cellar, so Shi Hongyu asked the cook to kill someone to help her escape, while she herself was rescued by the old man Zhang who was transporting firewood.After being rescued, Shi Hongyu was outside Chang'an City. She wrapped the gold mine map and hid it in the most dangerous and safest place.The reason why she didn't carry the map with her was because she was worried that her target would be big, and she might be exposed anytime when she returned to Chang'an City.So then she went back to Chang'an City by herself, and found that there were portraits of her hanging all over Chang'an City, and they were wanted for her. When she was angry, she made a trap box to retaliate against us.She pretended to be pitiful, and ran to hide in my Japanese shop.This person just happened to help her disguise her appearance.

But this shop is in Pingkangfang, and ordinary people can't find out about her disguise. She can take advantage of that time to directly contact her contact person. "

When Li Mingda said this, he looked at Fang Yizhi in astonishment, "It is more reasonable to do things like this. If he spread the word like this, the person in charge of Pingkangfang has already got the map by now. Why bother to send people away?" Go and inform Li Jingheng, and then ask Li Jingheng to hand over the map to the connector. At that time, Li Jingheng had already been called back for interrogation, and she knew that the map was not safe on Li Jingheng, so why did she ask him to get the map?"

Fang Yi narrowed his eyes, "I think some things make sense, there is only one possibility, and that is that they have discovered that the map of the gold mine is fake."

Li Mingda looked at Fang Yizhi with her bright black and suspicious eyes, "If this is the case, it is common sense that Shi Hongyu should retreat, why did he stay in Chang'an City until now, but was caught by us in the end."

"According to common sense, Shi Hongyu should marry someone who will take care of her husband and raise her children. Did she do it? For this woman, we can't use common sense to deduce it. There are probably two reasons for it: one is not giving up, and the other is not convinced." Fang Yizhi Then he explained carefully, "If you don't give up looking for the real gold mine map, don't give up and lose to us."

Li Mingda nodded, "The explanation is clear."

Fang Yizhi immediately suggested: "We have to do two things now. First, protect Baoqi; second, block Pingkangfang immediately, and go to Wantianlou to arrest the connector."

Li Mingda nodded and ordered to go down immediately.Then she and Fang Yizhi rode out of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, preparing to go straight to Pingkangfang.Wei Shuyu was riding a horse from the street at this time, followed by more than a dozen followers and a carriage.

Seeing that Li Mingda and others were about to leave, he hurriedly turned his horse's head and asked what was the matter.

"There are new clues, tell me on the road." Fang Yi said straight.

Wei Shuyu nodded, and sent his followers to drive the carriage to the Ministry of Punishment first, and let them wait there.Wei Shuyu followed alone.

Li Mingda glanced sideways at Wei Shuyu, feeling that something had changed in him.However, she has urgent matters to deal with right now, and she doesn't have time to investigate the cause.He hurriedly followed Fang Yizhi on his horse, and ran towards Pingkangfang at high speed.Wei Shuyu glanced at the princess's back, followed by waving his whip without saying a word.

When the group arrived at Pingkangfang, the officials and guards had already set up road cards on all the streets entering and leaving Pingkangfang.

At present, Pingkangfang is no longer allowed to enter, and some people nearby are puzzled and watch from a distance.

Fang Yizhi immediately ordered his subordinates to drive him away.After a while, if the connector really runs away, it will be difficult to find it among the crowd.Fang Yizhi just wanted to prevent this kind of thing from happening, so he called someone in advance to get rid of the idlers around him.

After arriving at the wanton building, the three dismounted.

Cheng Chubi, who was ordered to lead people to surround the wanton building first, came to report: "No one was let go, whether it was a guest or a doctor in the building."

"Very good." Li Mingda also called Li Jingheng's two followers, clerk and asparagus, to identify them.At the beginning, the two of them were ordered to monitor Shi Hongyu.

Wenshu and Wenzhu hurriedly stated that they did not know what the connector really looked like.

"Every time he wears a hat to enter the house to meet Shi Hongyu, and then comes out with the hat on. The brim of the hat is pulled down so low that you can only vaguely see a round face, but I don't know what the facial features look like," the secretary said. , looked at Asparagus, "He has a round body and is about the same height as Asparagus."

The body is round, and the most indispensable thing in the entire Tang Dynasty is a person with a round body.

As for the height, it is exactly the height of ordinary people, and it is also a lot of people in the crowd.

These two characteristics are basically not characteristic.

Li Mingda said helplessly to Fang Yizhi and Wei Shuyu, "These two people were brought here for nothing, but luckily we still know some other clues."

Fang Yi nodded his head.Wei Shuyu still didn't know the specific details, and looked at Fang Yizhi with some doubts.Immediately afterwards, he followed the two into the wanton building.

Because of the sudden visit of government personnel, your guests are a little panicked.Although the Yacha has ordered everyone to eat and drink as usual, but they are not allowed to leave the wanton building for the time being.Everyone was still flustered and dared not eat while sitting at the table.

Li Mingda met with the store manager and asked about the number of people in the running hall in the building. He was counted and found that no one was absent.

"There are 47 people working in the building, all of them men." Cheng Chubi replied.

Li Mingda hurriedly asked if it was possible to find out if any of these people had moles.

"Zuo Shanggong is still investigating." Cheng Chubi said, "She has investigated more carefully to avoid omissions."

Li Mingda agreed, and asked the store owner to bring her the account book.

The shopkeeper took a look at Fang Yizhi and Wei Shuyu, they both knew each other, and knew that these two had certain identities.Even if his master signaled King Wei, after all, he is not King Wei, and such a person cannot be provoked by himself.Although he didn't know what kind of person Li, the chief of the criminal department who ordered him in front of him, was, but for the sake of the two princes of the Duke's Mansion, he didn't dare to provoke him.

The shopkeeper hurriedly handed over the account book obediently.

While Li Mingda was looking through the ledger, Zuo Qingmei's inspection over there was over.Zuo Qingmei immediately reported back to the princess, telling her that she had personally checked everyone's hands, and found no one with a mole on the tiger's mouth.

After reading the account book, Li Mingda immediately asked the store manager, "How many people live in the wanton building?"

"Three people, two of them are still there, and the other has checked out three days ago."

So Zuo Qingmei went to check the tiger's mouth of the two guests again, but found nothing.

Wei Shuyu couldn't help asking, "Could it be the one who left three days ago and ran away after hearing the news?"

If they find out that the map of the gold mine is fake and don't want the real map, it's not surprising that people run away.But the matter was not over yet, Shi Hongyu didn't leave, and the connector probably wouldn't either, and he probably thought that Li Jingheng didn't know where he was hiding.It is still necessary to investigate carefully, Li Mingda looked suspiciously upstairs and downstairs, he was worried that that person was too cunning, and he was playing other tricks that they couldn't think of.

"I said why people from the government suddenly came and asked us to eat and drink, but we were not allowed to leave. I wondered why this was. It turned out that Nineteen Lang was investigating the case." Changsun Huan was dissatisfied with the investigation of them The yamen who inspected wanted to come out and see which unsightly government official dared to come to wanton building to act violently.

As soon as Changsun Huan went out and looked downstairs, he saw Princess Jinyang at a glance.Not to mention, this one really has the ability to go crazy in the wanton building.

"Why did Jiujiu Lang come to the restaurant after investigating the case?" Zhang Sun Huan stomped downstairs, smiled and gave Li Mingda a shallow salute.

"The clues are so, why did we disturb your elegant mood?"

"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no."

"It doesn't matter, even if it spoils your interest, I should check." Li Mingda smiled bluntly.

Changsun Huan also smiled, but there was a trace of pitiful helplessness in the smile, "I remember Shijiu Lang was investigating the case of the dead in a brothel before. How did you find the restaurant here. Don't scare me, why don't you?" Could it be the boiled mutton seasoned with human heads in this restaurant?"

As soon as Changsun Huan said this, he immediately scared away the chopsticks of the diners in the lobby.

Li Mingda glared at him, "Cousin, don't cause trouble here."

"Okay." Changsun Huan smiled, and it was Li Mingda who bowed his hands in salute.

Li Mingda immediately saw a mole on his tiger's mouth, and Li Mingda stared at Changsun Huan in surprise.

When there were too many people in the lobby, Li Mingda took Chang Sun Huan to the secluded place in the backyard to talk.

"Are you hiding something from me?"

"What do you mean?" Changsun Huan was still grinning.

"Help each other." Li Mingda said these three words slowly, and then observed Changsun Huan's reaction.Fortunately, he reacted calmly and hadn't heard of it.

"Why didn't I notice the mole on your tiger's mouth before?"

"This? It's not a mole!" Changsun Huan wiped it with some embarrassment, and the black spot on the tiger's mouth disappeared immediately, "The ink that was sticky from painting in the morning dried on my hand. It really looks like a mole. "

Li Mingda suddenly realized, turned around and hurriedly called Zuo Qingmei, "Let those people wash their hands and check again."

After hearing this, Zuo Qingmei was stunned for a moment, but then she came to her senses and hurried to re-examine according to the princess's order.

Sure enough, after a while, Zuo Qingmei caught a person over.

This person's name is Qi Fei, with a round face, medium height, small eyes, and a mole on the tiger's mouth. He is the accountant of the wanton building.

"Just now we found out that something was painted on his tiger's mouth, so we didn't see the mole."

Li Mingda immediately asked the store manager for questioning, and got the background of this person named Qi Fei.

Two years ago, the accountant of the wanton building died suddenly and suddenly. The shopkeeper went to the funeral and took money to compensate his wife and children.It was on that day that the shopkeeper met Qi Fei.He is the nephew of the old accountant, and he has been learning account management from the old accountant these days.The store manager was very loyal when he met him, and he knew how to repay his kindness. He wanted to make money to supplement the old accountant's wife and son, that is, Qi Fei's own aunt and cousin. The shopkeeper was very moved when he saw this.Later, he sent someone to ask the steward of Wei Wang's mansion for instructions, and after getting Yun Zhun, he took Qi Fei in as the new accountant of Wantanlou.

Originally, the store manager was worried that Qi Fei was a novice, and he had just managed the accounts, so there would be many unfamiliar places, which would cause some troubles.He was already ready to deal with these troubles, but he didn't expect that after a few months, he would make the accounts of the wanton floor in order, and even the habit of keeping accounts was similar to that of the old accountant, which made him suddenly feel that the old accountant came back and returned Manage the account.

The shopkeeper was very satisfied with Qi Fei's performance, so naturally there was no reason not to keep him.So this Qi Fei has been working as an accountant in the wanton building, and in the past two years, the shopkeeper has learned that Qi Fei has indeed kept his word and has been subsidizing the old accountant's wife and children. Every once in a while, I will ask someone to bring money to send it over.

"He's really a nice guy, very simple and honest. If anyone else in the building is sick and needs money, he can borrow it if he can. He is very kind." The shopkeeper Qi Fei spoke highly of it.

After Li Mingda roughly understood the situation, he nodded and smiled, and left the perfunctory store manager.Then he interrogated Qi Fei together with Fang Yizhi.

Qi Fei kept nodding, and stood there stiffly and honestly, without saying a word, as if he didn't hear other people's questions.

"You know how to help each other?" Li Mingda suddenly asked again.

Qi Fei's face was full of fear, and he looked very frightened. He still lowered his head, motionless, and didn't say a word.Two hands folded in front of him, pinching fingers nervously.

"Then I will take it as your acquiescence." Li Mingda said, "Take it back!"

At this time, Qi Fei raised his eyes when he heard the words, and shook his head repeatedly at Li Mingda, "No, I, I don't know what to help each other...I..."

Qi Fei was so nervous that he stuttered when he spoke, and then cold sweat broke out on his forehead, layer by layer.

It was the first time for Li Mingda to see someone with such a real reaction.Obviously he has a mole on his mouth, and he does speak with a Jinzhou accent, and the time he arrived at the wanton building is also very consistent with the time range when Shi Hongyu became active.

He shouldn't have wronged this person.But Qi Fei's various behaviors seem to be uninformed and very innocent.

"What do you mean you don't know at all?" Li Mingda asked for confirmation.

Qi Fei looked at Li Mingda in a daze, "Returning to Mr. Li, Cao Min is actually a little confused about what the problem is. He has never heard of it. But Cao Min does have a mole here."

"You really don't know Shi Hongyu?" Li Mingda narrowed his eyes and examined Qi Fei carefully.

Qi Fei shook his head sincerely, still in a daze.

"Who is Shi Hongyu?"

Li Mingda then asked someone to show Qi Fei's portrait, but Qi Fei still didn't recognize her at all.

Fang Yizhi: "He pretended too well? There is no other possibility, he is undoubtedly the connector."
