Chapter 302 Thanks to You That Day

"Are you still afraid of being fake?" Changying said.

The shopkeeper gritted his teeth: "How will I know if I don't look!"

Changying laughed again: "I'm just lying, do you think you can see it?"

Helplessly, the shopkeeper pursed his lips and remained silent.

After a while, he raised his head and said, "If I tell you, can you really let me leave safely?"

"As long as you say it, I guarantee that you will not only leave safely, but also leave safely with the stolen money in your hand."

The shopkeeper took a deep breath, looked left and right, and said, "The original intention of Wu Fangfei to set up this shop is to be a vend official."

"Officer?"

"Yes." He said, "I don't know the details. This shop has only been open for two years, and it was indeed a serious business in the first few months, but then one day, my cousin found me——"

"Who is your cousin?"

"It's Gao Suming."

"... What did he tell you?"

"That day he came to me and said that if anyone wanted to ask for help, he would leave his name and history. Gradually, people really came to my door.

"After another two months, I accidentally heard that one of the people who had come to the shop to ask for help, who had been idle for many days, had actually joined the Shuntian Mansion as an errand, so I figured it out. Selling jewellery, in fact, has other uses."

"What's wrong with being in Shuntian Mansion?"

"ambassador."

Hearing this, Changying clenched her fists and began to think.

The ambassador is Jiupin, the real sesame official.As one of the favorite concubines of the East Palace, Concubine Wu could not sell high officials when Yang Ji and the Gu family were in control of the real power, but it would not be impossible to put a few low-level officials in the yamen.

It turned out that Concubine An was staring at her for an important purpose. Yang Ji knew that she had colluded with the military generals in the court and secretly sold officials for profit, which was enough to make her fall from the concubine position!
But Wu side concubine opened a shop and sold an official, so what was she trying to do?

Could it be that she is short of money?It is true that Gong Dou also has to fight for financial resources, but it is not yet the time for them to fight to the death.

Yang Ji can't compete here, it's useless even if they sharpen their heads and sit on the position of princess.

"Why did she do this?" Changying said, "Aren't you afraid that one day things will happen and even kill you?"

"How do I know this?" the shopkeeper said, "Even what I said just now, I just watched and figured it out, and no one said it to me personally."

"Where is the list of those who registered with you?"

"No."

"No?" Changying smiled, "When you were about to die, you never forgot to tell me that you would survive. Knowing about their prostitution and dragging you into this muddy water, you are so stupid. Will you leave yourself a way out?"

The shopkeeper gritted his teeth and remained silent.

……

Two quarters of an hour later, Changying went straight to the street with what she got.

In the yamen, she called Shaoqing and the three of them, and asked about the situation during the past half day.

Shaoqing said: "Zhao Jun sent the eunuchs to walk back and forth in the palace a few times, and they didn't take advantage of any loopholes."

Changying nodded, and said: "From now on, you must keep an eye on Gao Xuming, he will probably try to meet Concubine Wu tonight, give him a chance, and then you will do this..." She finished talking about the situation just now, and then pressed down He ordered carefully.

Shaoqing agreed, and immediately went to discuss with Cheng Chun and Liu Bing.

Changying looked at the list in her hand, then at the sky, and then stepped out of the threshold.

Qin Lu was discussing with Xie Peng, when he heard that General Shen was coming, he hurriedly greeted him at the door, and said: "It's a coincidence that the general came, the prince has gone to the Ministry of Industry."

Changying knew that Yang Su was preparing to attack the Ministry of Industry after the beginning of spring, and walked into the hall while talking: "It's okay, I will do the same with you."

Xie Peng, who was bending over the table and flipping through files in the room, raised his head when he heard this, "What's the matter?"

"I have a list here of the people involved in selling the officials of the side concubine Wu of the Eastern Palace. You are familiar with each of the yamen in the five cities. Can you help me find out the whereabouts of these people's official positions?" Changying will bring a blueprint. Handed him the leather book.

Xie Peng stared at her for a while, then took the notebook over, his brows furrowed deeper and deeper, and he said: "How dare the women in the Eastern Palace sell their officials?"

"That's the strange thing," Chang Ying said, "Although they are said to be low-ranking officials, but I have roughly inquired about them, and the families involved are very wealthy and can afford the price.

"You can help me find out the family of Concubine Wu. She has no parents, and only one uncle, Wu Zhang, works in Liaodong. Let's see what's going on with her uncle?"

The shopkeeper had previously explained that the children who came into contact with Gao Suming all had good family backgrounds, that is to say, they could afford the money.

Then Concubine Wu took such a big risk to collect money, most likely because she was in urgent need of money, but she was in the palace, so she was unlikely to have a place to spend a lot of money, and when she did spend a lot of money, it would definitely be difficult to hide it from Yang Ji.

From this point of view, it is only possible that there is a problem with her uncle Wu Zhang, who was a Tongzhi in Liaodong.

Wu Zhang dedicated Wu's side concubine to Yang Ji, and naturally he became Yang Ji's man. Liaobei has a lot of products, so Wu Zhang is very valuable there.

Concubine Wu's favor was naturally due to Wu Zhang's value. If something happened to Wu Zhang, Concubine Wu would definitely not stand by and watch.

Xie Peng obviously understood her meaning at this moment, turned around and called people in, and arranged things separately.

"It will take at least a few days for Wu Zhang, but it will take less than an hour for the group of people who search and buy officials. Are you waiting here?"

he asks.

Changying had no other urgent matters at hand, so she chose to stay and wait.

Xie Peng nodded and continued to look at his official business.

The eunuch brought the dispelling cold soup, Changying took a sip, then suddenly remembered, and said to Qin Lu, "Is Doctor Liang there? I'll ask him something."

After Qin Lu said that, he went out to greet someone and called Liang Feng.

"Are you alright with your injuries?" Xie Peng suddenly turned to her.

Changying looked sideways.

Xie Peng paused for a moment, and said in a steady voice, "I was in the ring last time, thanks to you."

In any case, the shock that day made his impression of her subversively changed, whether it was for herself or Yang Su, no woman, no, few people could do what she did.

What Yang Su lacked at that time was opportunity and platform. She risked her life to earn him five cities of soldiers and horses, which was like throwing a sharp knife to an unarmed man who was besieged by a powerful enemy.

It was because of her actions that they were here today, he had to admit.

Although Changying didn't have much direct contact with Xie Peng, she could also sense that he didn't take her seriously in the past.

But it's okay, obviously he is not the kind of person who will get along with people for no reason, even if he doesn't think so, it still doesn't prevent them from surrounding Yang Su and performing their duties.

But today he would directly mention that matter to her, which surprised her a little.

After a while, Liang Feng came.He greeted Changying and sat down.
