The general's wife through time

Chapter 29 Behind Weiyuan Shipping

At a simple wooden table, Mu Xian's mouth twitched as he watched Si Wei eating a bowl of spicy hotpot into a royal meal. As expected, he is the son of a noble family. Tsk, tsk, his demeanor is so elegant.

Qiudie thought: As expected, Madam guessed it, Mr. Si really ate Malatang. At that time, they all thought that Si Wei would not eat such things, but what did the lady say? Yes, the picture is fresh!

Listening to the people on the side talking to Mu Xian one after another, Si Wei thought casually: Xue Tang is awesome.

The account books will definitely not be taken out casually for others to see. That's something important and private.

Although the purchasing plan is not very important, if it falls into his hands, there may be some clues. So Qin Yuan will not take it out.

Then there's the warehouse.

He knew he was an outsider and knew how to behave, so he would not follow him in. If only Xue Tang went in, he might not be able to see anything from the shelves. Therefore, Qin Yuan agreed.

Setting high standards first and then slowly lowering the standards is often more effective than stating your goals directly.

Xue Tang, could it be that she deliberately hid the bad rumors outside?

But who did she learn these readily available methods from? It's definitely not Xue Renyi. Xue Renyi can't teach such a clever method.

Even her pretense just now was spotless. She deserves to be able to understand Qin Mingshu. It turns out that she can sing well.

But her scenes are much better, even her tantrums are arrogant and noble.

Mu Xian was holding a cup of tea, with a signature smile on his face, and faced the accounting gentlemen in front of him without any care.

At first, he didn't want Xue Tang to get involved in Weiyuan's affairs. Weiyuan was very complicated, and he was afraid that Xue Tang would be unhelpful, so he thought it was best for her not to see anything.

Now, he was inexplicably looking forward to it.

The general was in such a hurry to go north that night that he only had time to explain that there was a problem with Weiyuan and said that he would go to South Vietnam in person. He had no time to explain in detail before setting off for the expedition.

Qin Mingli disappeared at sea after the general left, so he couldn't figure out how the general could discover Weiyuan's problem in advance.

He had checked Weiyuan's accounts and purchase plan before and found nothing unusual. He also wanted to see the warehouse, but Qin Yuan resisted. When he finally sneaked in, the warehouse was empty.

Can Xue Tang really find the problem when he goes into the warehouse?

How complicated is Weiyuan's trouble?

Xue Tang had inquired from Qin Lu on the side before. Qin Lu told her that Mu Xian checked all the accounts but found no clues. Later, he asked Qin Lu to sneak into the warehouse with someone, but found nothing.

Qin Huangyuan was able to hand over all the Qin family's business to Mu Xian. Xue Tang believed that Qin Huangyuan was trustworthy in employing people and also believed in Mu Xian's ability.

However, Mu Xian had no problem checking the accounts, but she was not necessarily good at investigating the case.

Xue Tang wandered around the warehouse for half an hour.

She finally knew what Weiyuan Shipping had gotten into.

She smelled the long-lost and all-too-familiar smell of gunpowder smoke.

There is a faint smell of gunpowder under the strong smell of paint, scratches from swords hidden by paint on the shelves, traces of suspected heavyweight spears on the ground...

Weiyuan, what Mu Xian calls an ordinary maritime caravan, involves military supplies.

And judging from the traces, there were several batches of materials handled here.

"Is Madam okay?" Qin Yuan asked.

Xue Tang raised his eyes and said, "Well, let's go!"

Qin Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time became more contemptuous.

This guy was just going through the motions, just like walking on the street. He just glanced at me and I don't know how many shelves I passed. I could spot something.

Soon they arrived at Si Wei's lounge.

Seeing Mu Xian drinking tea with Si Wei, Xue Tang said coldly: "Let's go! I have to go to Wantong."

Wantong is the pawn shop where it was said that she pawned the 300,000 taels she just bought.

Qin Yuan hummed with disdain in his heart: a prodigal mother-in-law.

Mu Xian put down his tea cup and stood up to follow Xue Tang.

Xue Tang looked at Si Wei: "Master Si, you are busy with everything, so you don't have to follow me, right?"

They are all smart people, so they can naturally understand everything.

Si Wei stood up and straightened his clothes lightly, "Qin Xiao is not here, I have to take care of the Qin family's property for him." Xue Tang turned around and left with an expressionless face.

Qin Yuan sent Xue Tang away with a smile. This time the smile was really happy. Sure enough, as he expected, Si Wei and Mu Xian watched Xue Tang not destroy the Qin family.

Xue Tang got on the Qin family's carriage.

Si Wei did not ride again, but got into Mu Xian's carriage.

The two cars drove side by side, and they really went shopping at Wantong. After that, Xue Tang went to Taotie House and ordered a large table of signature dishes.

"Qin Yuan is not troublesome. Those secretly involved with Qin Yuan and Qin Mingli are troublesome. If this matter is not resolved, the Qin family may not just fall into ruin."

After listening to Si Wei's words, Mu Xian subconsciously looked at Xue Tang.

Mr. Si, why are you telling your wife this? She was originally worried that she would live in poverty. If you say this, wouldn't she be worried about the Qin family being executed by the nine clans! She won't run away secretly, right?

Mu Xian was just thinking about how to comfort Xue Tang when he saw her stand up slowly and replied to Si Wei lightly, "Yeah", and then said calmly: "I want to go to the Nanqu team, so I won't accompany Si Wei." The adults are having dinner together."

In this way, it seems that today's matter is not as difficult for her as Qin Mingshu.

Mu Xian swallowed subconsciously, "Shall I send my wife?"

Xue Tang did not refuse and nodded slightly, "Okay!"

Si Wei stood by the window, watching Xue Tang and Mu Xian cross the road one after another and walk to the door of Nanqu Team. Then he turned around and told a waiter at the door: "Go to Si's house. Call Si Fangyun over and tell her I’ll treat her to dinner.”

The waiter didn't know why. He took one look at the dishes on the table and ran to Si's house to deliver the letter.

In front of the gate of Nanqu Team, Team Leader Li has been waiting there for a while.

He saw Xue Tang, Si Wei, and Mu Xian entering the Taotie House together. He was counting the time and wanted to wait for the big guys to take a few bites before reporting the news. Unexpectedly, he only waited for the food to be served, and the lady I found it myself.

Leader Li thought: Mrs. Qin might have seen him standing at the door and looking forward to it.

He is a class leader, but he worries about his old father and is so anxious that his hair is almost turning white. Is it easy for him? !

"Hello, Mrs. Qin!"

After Team Leader Li said hello, they followed a boy directly to the so-called "cliff" without saying much.

After hiking up the hill, it was already midnight.

Mu Xian raised his head and looked at the moon, only then did he realize it.

What's he doing here?
Shouldn't he be reading the account books in the secret room of Taotie Building at this time?
Seeing the person coming, Zhuiguang ran over crying, "Madam, you are finally here."

Xue Tang nodded lightly, pointed to a small tent on the top of the mountain and asked, "What is that?"

That was a tent used by the Qin family's army. Madam must know it, so Madam must have asked why the tent was here. After thinking about it, Zhuiguang said: "The second young master took a bath and changed clothes inside first, and now he is sitting on the edge of the cliff drinking, saying he wants to warm himself up before jumping."

Mu Xian: "Oh, it's quite ceremonial!"

Xue Tang looked up at the sky, turned around and said to Mu Xian, "It's very late. Boss Mu, please go back first!"

It took a lot of effort to climb up. How could it be possible to leave like this? The corner of Mu Xian's mouth twitched, "It's okay, there's no rush."

When Xue Tang heard this, he stopped caring about him and raised his hand towards Qin Lu.

Qin Lu got a backpack from somewhere and handed it over respectfully.

Qin Mingshu took a comfortable bath, packed up, slept in the tent again, and then came out to drink.

There were as many "safety ropes" prepared in advance as many as a sack, and they were piled next to him.

He held the wine jar in one hand and reached into the night sky with the other.

The night is so beautiful!
He closed his eyes, felt the night wind around him, and took a deep breath.

Suddenly, a gust of wind approached from behind, and Qin Mingshu was kicked down.

He hasn't fastened his safety rope yet!
The feeling of suffocation suddenly spread throughout the body, and the heartbeat could not help but skip a beat.

Qin Mingshu: "Fuck!"

Then a hand grabbed his belt.

Qin Mingshu felt his waist tighten, as if there was another rope on his waist, tying him to the person behind him.

Did anyone dance with him?
