Chapter 39 Who Could She Be? (A certain fox earns [-] coins)

At noon, Hao Tongpan was squatting on the porch, eating steamed buns and looking at the portraits.

After the artist finished painting yesterday, he glanced at it casually and didn't pay attention to it. Today, Duke Xu's mansion brought the portrait to ask again. He took a closer look, and the more he looked at it, the more familiar it became.

Ripe is ripe, there is no leakage on the mouth.

He only asked the Su family to bring one, saying that he wanted to observe the memories more carefully, and let the neighbors see it after he left the office.

Now, he is staring at the portrait and thinking hard.

"Are you having lunch?"

Hearing the sound, Hao Tongpan raised his head and saw Jing Dabao approaching with his hands in his hands.

Jing Dabao walked up to him, squatting with his chubby figure, and squatting quite steadily: "Hey, what kind of portrait is this? The key criminal to be arrested? I didn't see the notice at the gate of the city."

Hao Tongpan thought for a moment, wiped his hands, hooked Jing Dabao's shoulders, and said in a low voice, "You came just in time, help me see, does the person in this painting look familiar?"

With a sound of "Hey", Jing Dabao narrowed his eyes and commented: "This man has a good face, the courtyard is full, and he looks like he can make a fortune."

Hao Tongpan looked around and lowered his voice: "I remember Chen Gui went to look for you, right? You can see more clearly, does it look like Chen Gui?"

"Chen Gui?" Jing Dabao pretended to be thinking, "Remember, is he the guy who wants to be a businessman in Honest Lane? He came to see me and wanted a piece of the pie. I didn't get along with him. Do you think he looks like that? ..."

"I'm not going around with you," Hao Tongpan licked his lips, "This is drawn by Xu Guogong's mansion based on the confessions of the two young men, and I reckon Chen Gui is the one who messed up.

Those two people are also troublemakers. I don't know if they did it on purpose. The portraits that come out are six parts real and four parts fake. If it weren't for me and Chen Guishu, I almost didn't see it. "

Jing Dabao took the words: "Since it doesn't look like that, how can you be sure it's him?"

"Chen Gui is the same clan of the second lady in the Chengyi Mansion. Although he is out of five clothes, he has a good relationship with the Bo's Mansion. He often eats wine with the Second Master, and he can call the eldest girl of the Bo Mansion "Niece" if he is cheeky. ’, with this relationship, can you see that Mr. Su can take all men and women?” After Hao Tongpan explained, he curled his lips and muttered, “Anyway, I definitely can’t see it. When I think that my niece and son-in-law are such a jerk, I can't even eat a bite!"

Jing Dabao still didn't let go, just said: "You are working in the yamen, what scene have you not seen, can you still not eat it?"

"Hey, let me tell you, Jingdong's family, I have been on the job for so many years, I have seen limbs and feet burned, even if they were chopped into pieces, they still taste delicious," Hao Tong judged. After blurting out, I scratched my head in embarrassment, "It's far, far away, we are talking about Su San, the scene where he was brought in the night before yesterday, I didn't say, you don't want to eat even after seeing it! What a mess!
Chen Gui lives in Qingyu Hutong, I can't find him, you go for me, this is really what he did, so let him not go around West Street recently, and don't come to the yamen, in case As soon as someone recognizes it, trouble! "

Jing Dabao listened, and said: "If he really did it, you still protect him?"

Hao Tongpan chuckled: "If all the honorable children in the capital are as upright as the Chengyi family, our yamen can save a lot of trouble. Besides, Chen Gui is also a real person. Even if it is true, he is not to blame. The third son Su is not clean, is he?"

"If you open your mouth, I will definitely go there, and I can't bear the sight of such messy people," Jing Dabo said again, "I'm here today to tell you, and I'll be back in seven or eight days at most. I have gone to Yuhang, and Gao An will be watching over the repairs, you and the elders can rest assured that the repairs will be completed, and I will come to Beijing again after the autumn harvest is over and the grain is in the warehouse."

The two talked about things in Honest Lane, and Jing Dabao left the yamen quickly.

The inn has always been a well-informed place, and he lives in Jinmanlou, and he heard about Su Ke's bastard yesterday morning.

Today I went around the West Street again and saw several people looking for people with portraits. They were thinking about whether they should come to Shuntian Mansion to inquire, but before they could go, Shen Chen came to look for them.

Now that he asked clearly, he didn't delay, and walked through the streets to Taohezhai.

In the backyard, Xu Jian was sitting on the porch drinking tea.

Jing Dabao stepped forward, and after explaining the matter one by one, he asked, "Master Chen, did Mr. Chen really do it?"

Xu Jian responded lightly.

Thinking of the closed door of Xu Guogong's mansion, Jing Dabao asked again: "Is the princess behind?"

Looking at the teacup in his hand, Xu Jian said: "Who could it be if it wasn't her? Uncle Chengyi's mansion is full of upright people, who can think of such a detrimental trick to throw Su Ke naked on the street?"

Neither is Jing Dabao laughing, nor is he not smiling.

From what I said, it seems that the princess is not from Chengyibo's mansion.

Then again, if the Princess hadn't intervened in it, would the Grand Duke have cared?

Jing Dabao, who had seen through everything, thought about it for a while, and said: "Just before I came here, there were also two chatterboxes in Jinmanlou. It was probably the third young master Su who sincerely admitted his mistake, but the uncle's mansion didn't even see anyone... that's why The next day, kneeling for a few more days, the words will be different again."

"If Duke Xu's government doesn't give up, it will definitely incite public opinion." Xu Jian was not surprised by this. "Lin Yunyan thought that she would not be unprepared for such a simple forehand and backhand."

Public opinion is the wind, which can blow east or west.

The most important thing that little princess is lacking now is money, just looking for someone to blow her hair out.

"The princess is smart and prepared, but," Jing Dabao took half a step forward, "after hearing what Hao Tong judged, Xu Guogong's mansion is very relentless and must find him.

If they were really reminded of Chen Dong's family, the two young men were afraid that the world would not be chaotic. In the end, no matter whether it was true or not, Xu Guogong's mansion would cover Chen Dong's family and bite the uncle's mansion against them in order to regret the marriage.

With this extra link, no matter how the wind blows, it will not take the lead. "

Hearing that there was something in Jing Dabao's words, Xu Jian leaned against the pillar, her black eyes seemed to be smiling but not smiling: "So?"

"If you have a way, why not help the princess?" Jing Dabao suggested.

"Help her?" Xu Jian was happy, her tone could not hide her joy, "She is still pretending to be pitiful in the Palace of Compassion and Ning, how can she ask for help?"

Jing Dabao couldn't help laughing.

Listen, when it comes to the princess, the Duke's joy can't fool anyone.

He was just amused by the princess's series of schemes against Xu Guogong's mansion.

Such a good show, how can the audience not be happy?
In particular, it was the princess who was behind the layout, and when he really made a move, it was extremely fierce, and it became more and more obvious that what he said back and forth with the Duke of the country before was just a lively exchange of eyebrows.

"Then don't help," Jing Dabao took a slanted lead, "You try to add fuel to the fire?"

Xu Jian was slightly taken aback, as if thinking of something, the smile in his eyes overflowed little by little, and the corners of his lips raised a little.

He put down the teacup, got up and walked outside.

As he walked, he said, "OK."
