The New Biography of the Consort

His hand was grabbed by another person, Du Hailiang looked at that person and said

"You... who are you?"

"I'm just a passerby"

"Get out of the way, this is my family business"

"I know I have no right to intervene in your family affairs, but if you want to beat Miss Du, I have no choice but to intervene in this matter."

Du Hailiang looked at Du Zihan and said, "Zihan, do you know this person?"

Only then did Qiao Yihan see that person's face, and after seeing that person, Qiao Yinan had a surprised expression,

The man said, "Miss Du doesn't know me, but Miss Du has helped me before, so I won't let you touch a hair of Miss Du",

Du Hailiang saw that there were more and more people watching, so he shook off the man's hand and said, "Zihan, follow me into the mansion."

Du Zihan said, "I don't want to go back to the house that only knows about money." After speaking, he turned around and left.

Seeing Du Zihan go farther and farther, Du Hailiang said to his servant, "Why don't you go and bring the lady back?" After talking a few servants, he chased after Du Zihan,

At this time, the man stopped the servants just now and said, "I will not let you chase Miss Du",

So the servants fought with the man, and after a few moves, the servants were knocked to the ground, and the man left immediately.

Du Hailiang was so angry that he was panting heavily, and shouted, "You useless slaves, find some more people, and you must bring the lady back to me." After finishing speaking, he walked into the mansion angrily,

The man caught up with Du Zihan who was crying just now and said, "Miss Du, are you alright?"

"I'm fine, thank you just now"

"Miss Du, you are being polite. Miss Du helped me that night, but I haven't repaid you yet."

"What happened that night is over, don't mention it again"

"I don't know if Miss Du has something on her mind? If Miss Du doesn't dislike it, I am willing to share her worries for Miss Du."

"I...I miss my mother"

"Mother? Where is Miss Du's mother now?"

"She has already left this world. When I was young, my family was very poor. My father often did some small business outside, while my mother took care of me at home. Although the family was very poor at that time, I felt that the family was very happy together. There was a time when my father said that he would go out for a few days for a big business. During those few days, my mother was not in good health, but my mother did not stop my father. On the second day after my father left, my mother's illness became more and more serious. Finally I finally fell down. At that time, my family lived in a small house in the suburbs, far away from the town. In order to treat my mother, I went to the town to find doctors, but because I was too young, the doctors didn’t believe me. I refused to go home with me for a doctor’s visit. In the end, I could only buy a few medicines and take them back for my mother to drink, but my mother’s illness still did not improve. Two days later in the morning, I still went to feed my mother the medicine. When I came to my mother At that time, I found that my mother was not breathing. At that time, I felt like the sky was falling. I cried heartbreakingly for a whole day and night, and my father came back the next day. I have always hated my father. If my father was there at that time Well, my mother may not die, it is because he went out to do business to earn money, so my mother will die." At this time, Du Zihan cried very sadly,

"Miss Du, don't be too sad, I believe your mother would not want to see you so sad now",

"Thank you for listening to me"

"You're welcome, Ms. Du, some things have been kept in my heart, it's better to say it out, it might be much better if you say it out"

"Well, by the way, I don't know your name yet?"

"My name is Zhang Shaomin"

, "Well, my name is Du Zihan. I have always wanted to ask you a question. I wonder if it is okay?"

"Miss Du, but it's okay to say"

"What on earth do you do? Why did you go to my house that night? And why were you chased by your servant and father?"

Zhang Shaomin thought that since Du Zihan was willing to open a warehouse to release salt behind her father's back, it meant that she was a kind person, and it would be fine to tell her the truth, so he said

"To tell you the truth, Miss Du, I was sent by the emperor to investigate the rise in salt prices and the smuggling of salt."

"What? Are you sent by the emperor?"

"um, yes"

"Then you came to my house...indicating that my father has something to do with this matter?"

"This……"

"It's okay, you can just say it"

"I haven't found any evidence so far, I just speculate that Master Du is related to this matter"

"You mean that the price of salt has become so high that people can't afford it and go begging because of my father?"

"Miss Du, this is just my guess. I haven't found conclusive evidence to prove that Mr. Du is related to the smuggling of salt."

"I know you are comforting me, since you would guess like this, there must be a basis for it"

"Miss Du..."

"Mr. Zhang, I will help you go to my father to find evidence. If my father really did it, I will accompany him to bear the burden."

"Miss Du, you don't have to interfere with this matter."

"No, I don't want my father to fall like this again, I want to find the kind father I was in when I was a child"

"Miss Du, Mr. Zhang really admires your way of distinguishing between public and private."

"I don't have a clear distinction between public and private, but I just want to find my former father. Thank you Mr. Zhang for being able to accompany the little girl for so long, then I will go back first."

"Is Miss Du going back to Du's mansion? Will Master Du blame you again?"

"It's okay, I'm his daughter anyway, he won't do anything to me, thank you Mr. Zhang for your concern"

"Then let me take Miss Du back."

"Don't bother Mr. Zhang, I can do it myself"

"Miss Du, let me take you back, otherwise I won't feel at ease."

"Then... there is Mr. Zhang Lao."

"Where, where"

So Zhang Shaomin sent Du Zihan to the door of the Du Mansion, and Du Zihan said, "Thank you Mr. Zhang for sending the little girl back."

"Miss Du, you're welcome"

"I'll go ahead with that son"

"Okay, Miss Du, go slowly"

Zhang Shaomin watched Du Zihan's back disappear before his eyes before leaving.

Chapter 71

In the evening, Zhang Shaomin and Feng Shaomin returned to the inn to discuss matters. Feng Shaomin said, "Brother Zhang, I sneaked into the cargo ship today, quietly opened the sack, and found that the outer layer of the sack was indeed cotton, but the inside was salt, and I also saw the official approval. This batch of goods is indeed from the Du family, and the approval document says that the cotton is leaving the port. If the government doesn't know, they will be able to find out that the goods are not only cotton but also salt, so I can be sure that the government must also know about the smuggling of illegal salt. one thing"

"Brother Feng, what do you think we should do next?"

"This... I think we'd better wait and see what happens. Once they make a move, we will take the opportunity to catch them"

"Well, that could be the case."

"Brother Zhang, what's different about Du Hailiang today?"

"Today, Ms. Du's family secretly opened a warehouse to release salt behind Du Hailiang's back, but was discovered by Du Hailiang, so Du Hailiang and Ms. Du had a dispute."

"Miss Du's family opened a warehouse to release salt? It seems that she should have nothing to do with this matter."

"Yes, and Ms. Du promised to help us find evidence that Du Hailiang smuggled salt."

"What? Miss Du promised to help us find evidence? Brother Zhang, have you told Miss Du the truth?"

"Yes, I told her all about it"

"Brother Zhang, she is Du Hailiang's daughter, can we trust her? If she tells Du Hailiang about our investigation, then Du Hailiang will definitely start guarding against us."

"Brother Feng, Miss Du is different from Du Hailiang, she is very kind, I trust her"

"Brother Zhang and Miss Du know each other?"

"It's just a few encounters"

"Since brother Zhang can trust her, then I trust her too",

After Du Zihan returned to the Du Mansion, she kept thinking about what Zhang Shaomin said, so she decided to go directly to Du Hailiang tomorrow to find out.Another day passed, Tianxiang and Shangguanyun still couldn't find Feng Shaomin these two days, they began to doubt whether Feng Shaomin would really be in this town, so they decided to leave the town,

Just when Tianxiang and Shangguanyun led the horse and walked toward the city gate listlessly, suddenly a child ran over and knocked Shangguanyun down. Bar?"

Shangguan Yun stood up, patted the dust and said "I'm fine",

At this time, Shangguan Yun found that the sachet and money bag on his waist were missing, so he said, "My sachet is missing."

Tianxiang said, "The kid must have stolen it just now, I'm going to chase him now." After finishing speaking, she ran to chase the kid who ran past just now.

When Shangguan Yun was about to say that there was no need to look for it, Tianxiang had already run a long way, so Shangguan Yun also chased after him, Tianxiang chased after a long distance and finally saw the figure of the child, so he shouted while running

"Catch that kid up front, he's a thief",

While running, the child looked back to see if Tianxiang was catching up. He accidentally bumped into the person in front of him. When the person heard someone yelling for a thief, he grabbed the child's arm. The child was unable to escape for a while.

At this time, Tianxiang also chased after her and said, "Hey... I'm exhausted, you can really run, you are a thief at a young age, see if I teach you a lesson"

At this time, I heard the person who caught the child say "Tianxiang?"

Tianxiang then looked at that person, and when she saw that person, Tianxiang said in surprise, "Brother Zhang?"

It turned out that the person who caught the child was Zhang Shaomin. Zhang Shaomin said, "Tianxiang, why are you here?"

"I... that brother Zhang, why are you here?"

"It's a long story, I'll tell you slowly later, this kid stole your purse?"

"It's not mine, it's Shangguanyun's."

Tianxiang snatched the sachet from the child's hand and said, "Why are you doing such sneaky things at such a young age?"
