business lady

Chapter 45
The bustling Enrong Banquet ended in the evening.

As soon as Xia Zhi led Jiu Yuan out of the palace gate, Fan Xuan detained him, saying that he had something to discuss.So Xia Zhi asked Jiu Yuan to go ahead and wait in front of the carriage!
Because Fan Xuan said that this matter should not be known by too many people, so Xia Zhi and Fan Xuan came to the Huxin Pavilion in Xilin Bieyuan, where the view is wide and there is no need to be wary of being overheard by others!

"Tell me! What's the matter?" Xia Zhi entered the pavilion and sat down at the stone table, looking at him and asking casually.

Fan Xuan did not answer directly, but asked instead: "I don't know the real culprit of the assassination of the princess some time ago, how did the prince investigate?"

His "true culprit" is of course not about Zhao Mai who was ransacked, but the real original culprit!Anyone with a bit of a brain knows that Zhao Mai is just a scapegoat, and the real culprit is someone else, and Duan Wang will definitely continue to investigate!

When Xia Zhi heard that it was related to Jiu Yuan's assassination, he immediately paid more attention to it, and replied truthfully: "This man hides very deeply, every time there is a clue, he will wipe it out, or abandon the car to protect the commander-in-chief." , or point clues to impossible people!"

The more he investigated the real murderer, the more suspicious he became. At critical moments, the other party would ruthlessly kill the lives of people who knew the inside story, and most of them committed suicide. This also surprised him secretly. Unexpectedly, there is such a dark tumor in the capital. If they hadn't taken the initiative to assassinate Jiuyuan this time, I would have never discovered it before. This also strengthened my determination to find him and eradicate him!

After hearing this, Xia Xuan understood in his heart that the prince should have not found the real culprit, otherwise he would not have been caught off guard at that time. It seems that the current situation has not changed from before, so let him make it change from now on. Thinking of this, he made up his mind and said to Xia Zhi, "I don't know what the prince thinks of Duke Qiong?"

Xia Zhi read it in a low voice: "Duke Qiong?!" Then he replied: "As an official, he is low-key and moderate, and the Duke of Qiong is also very low-key when it comes to the aristocratic family."

Fan Xuan said calmly: "If I say that Qiong Guogong is the real murderer behind the scenes, I don't know if the prince can be trusted!"

His palms were sweating slightly, as if he was not talking about a person's name, but was fighting against the future history, and now he was taking the first step.He is like a drop of water in a long river, but he wants to use his own power to change the direction of the river!

After Xia Zhi listened to his words, he didn't speak, as if he was thinking about the authenticity of his words. After a long time, when Fan Xuan was a little out of breath by the silent atmosphere, he asked, "I don't know. Where did Fan Qing get the news!"

He shouldn't have searched for so long and found no news, but he, a young supervisor of the Shaofu, found out, unless Prime Minister Fan got some news and asked him to pass it on for him.

Fan Xuan did not answer directly, but said: "Whether what I said is true, the prince will know if he checks!"

After a pause, he continued: "I won't disturb the lord, I will leave first!" After saying that, he bowed and exited the pavilion, turned around and left, he knew that no matter what he said was true or not, Xia Zhi would definitely investigate. enough!

Last time, it was because King Duan was not wary of Duke Qiong that he had the opportunity to take over when he first solved Duke Huguo's mansion. Wachi's back strength was weak when he used his troops.

Now that King Duan got the news early and was on guard against him, what will happen?
After watching Xia Zhi and Fan Xuan leave, Jiu Yuan continued to walk outside the garden gate, and saw Zhao Hengwen standing beside the stone lion in front of the gate waiting for someone from a distance.

When Jiu Yuan arrived at the door, Cha Xiang immediately went up to help her, Jiu Yuan didn't even look at him, and got into the carriage waiting here after passing the stone lion.

As soon as she sat down inside, she heard someone outside say: "My minister Zhao Hengwen has seen Princess Duan! Princess is well!"

After he finished speaking, he made a deep obeisance. After he had the money, he wanted to borrow money from his benefactor. He didn't want to go to Yunming Tea House but said that there was no such person. He was worried that he would not be able to find someone to repay his favor. He would meet at the Enrong Banquet, and he never thought that the person who saved him back then would be Princess Duan.

She may not be worried about this money, but she said that she would return it to her, so how could she not keep her word!So after the banquet, he has been waiting here!
When Jiu Yuan heard that it was him, she thought he had recognized her, so she understood why he was looking for her. She didn't expect that she would become the champion of this subject after saving someone casually, so she said, "Don't be so polite! Just go away!"

Zhao Hengwen bowed his head and saluted. After hearing her words, he looked up at the curtain of the carriage, and said, "I am here to thank the princess for helping me on the street!"

Jiuyuan listened to his heart, so he said to him: "Don't be polite, the number one scholar. It's just a matter of raising your hands. I happened to meet him at that time. If someone else saw it, he would do the same if he wanted to come! You found it today because you have some money. to return it?"

After hearing this, Zhao Hengwen immediately took out a purse from his body, handed it over with both hands, and said, "Here is the money, please look at it, Princess!"

When Cha Xiang saw it, she immediately stepped forward to take the purse, turned around and got into the car and handed it to Jiu Yuan.Jiu Yuan took the purse and opened it to have a look, and saw that the money in it happened to be the meal money that he had given to him and paid to Xiao Er at the beginning, not a lot of money.

After looking at it, Jiuyuan put the purse on the small table, and slowly opened his mouth to the outside of the car, "That's right! Mr. Zhuangyuan is really trustworthy. This is exactly the amount I took out at that time. Now it's clear. Ladies in the deep house, it is not advisable to negotiate too much with outsiders, so I won't keep you!"

After hearing this, Zhao Hengwen bowed to the carriage again and said, "That's it, I won't bother you, let me leave!" After speaking, he took a few steps back, then turned and left.

Such a trivial matter, Jiu Yuan didn't take it to heart, and waited for a while for Xia Zhi to arrive, and then went back to the mansion together with Xia Zhi.

It's just that Jiu Yuan didn't avoid others on purpose, many people should have seen it at that time, and in the next few days, this matter spread all over the capital again.

Everyone is making jokes that Princess Duan's daughter of a merchant is the daughter of a merchant. She is short-sighted and only sees the immediate benefits. She got lucky and gave favors to the champion of the new department.

When Tan Se came to tell Jiu Yuan the rumors outside, her tea filter hand paused and then resumed, she just laughed it off and didn't say much.

It had been a long time since this rumor reached Zhao Hengwen's ears.

That day when he was having tea with some friends, someone learned this from him, and the people at the table laughed and satirized Duan Wangfei even more.

Hearing what they said, Zhao Hengwen's face became more and more ugly, and finally he slapped the table hard, everyone stopped in fright, looked up at him, and he stood up and said: "My concubine understands! I don't want to repay a small favor, I would like to use money to break the debt I owe, but I don't want to be rumored so far."

Speaking of this, he glanced at the people on the table and continued: "It's fine for others to talk nonsense if they are ignorant and ignorant. I don't want you to follow nonsense without understanding!" Meet face to face.

Since then, Zhao Hengwen has no contact with this group of people!
