The Rebirth of Space: the Lucky Girl From a Farm Family

Chapter 325 Xu Tuzhi

Ru Yan continued: "Su's house is in Qingquan Lane in the south of the city. Su Jinze is in his early sixties. He is not sociable and lives a simple life. He usually likes to have breakfast at Luji Shengjian Restaurant on Panjin Road in the south of the city.

Su Jinze rarely goes out except for going to the pancake shop or visiting various shops. "

After hearing this, Ye Minghao said: "Weird! This character is a bit withdrawn! Shouldn't a business person be a well-rounded person who is good at dancing? How can he do business with his character?"

Ruan Chu nodded in agreement, "Such a personality would hardly work in a business world where you need to deal with people, or in a military camp where you only need to take care of yourself."

The King of Qin didn't care about Su Jinze's character. He wanted to know why he took action in the situation like yesterday.

There is too much weirdness in this. Su Jinze is withdrawn and not sociable. Shouldn't he stay out of the matter regardless of his own concerns?

 Why did he involve himself in this storm and push himself to the top of the wave?

 Furthermore, Sunan Yinlou was the first to issue the notice. Why did his letter come so quickly? Did someone deliver the letter to him, or was it from one of his own?

 If someone delivers a letter to him, who is this person?

If his people got the letter, who did his people target? Baoqing Silver House or Xiaoyu?

 In an instant, questions popped up in King Qin’s mind.

King Qin asked: "Who else is there in the Su family?"

 It was related to Xiaoyu's safety, he had to find out this person clearly.

Ru Yan continued: "The Su Mansion is a second courtyard, not big. In addition to Su Jinze and his wife, there are two maids, three rough ladies, two servants and a cook."

Ye Minghao asked in surprise: "Only a husband and wife? No children?"

Ru Jin nodded, "It is said that Su Jinze and his wife had a daughter, but she died twenty years ago. Some said she hanged herself, others said she drank poisoned wine, and some said she committed suicide... There are different opinions. , he died by suicide anyway.”

Ruan Chu put down the cup and asked: "Did he die twenty years ago?"

　　Ru Ji replied: "Yes, twenty years ago, that was the year when the Su family first arrived in the capital."

  King Qin and Ruan Chu exchanged quick glances. This family is not simple in every aspect.

 Ye Minghao nodded thoughtfully and said, "This Su family has a story."

King Qin nodded in agreement and said, "Go and find out what happened to the Su family twenty years ago? Also, why did the daughter of the Su family commit suicide?"

 Ru Yan bowed and responded, "Yes, I understand, little one."

 Rumo exits the house.

Ruan Chu said: "I didn't expect that the princess's unintentional act yesterday would lead to so many things."

Ye Minghao sighed: "The seemingly peaceful capital has actually been undercurrent for a long time."

Ruan Chu nodded, turned to look at King Qin, and asked: "Your Majesty, what should we do next?"

 King Qin thought for a while, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said slowly: "The focus is still on investigating the case from that year."

 Investigating the case is the top priority. If the case is not solved, Xiaoyu cannot be married back home.

King Qin suddenly thought of Huang Zhenhao, and turned to Ye Minghao and said: By the way, Zhifei will go find Huanzhi later and ask him to check the details of the amount of silver allocated by the Ministry of Household Affairs to the Ministry of Works in the past five years. "

Ye Minghao asked curiously: "Why does the prince care about the Ministry of Works?"

King Qin briefly explained the matter, and finally said: "Huang Zhenhao can make so much money, you can imagine the problems involved."

Ye Minghao understood and bowed in response, "Yes, I'll go right now."

Having something to do, Ye Minghao immediately stood up and said goodbye, took two steps, turned to look at Ruan Chu, and said, "Xinyang, you must be my guest at my wedding."

Ruan Chu bowed and said, "That's my honor."

 Ye Minghao cupped his hands and said, "Thank you!"

Not long after Ye Minghao left, there was another knock on the door.

"Come in."

As soon as the King of Qin finished speaking, he saw Rumo go away and come back again.

Seeing Ru Jin’s anxious expression, King Qin put down the cup in his hand and asked, “What’s the matter?”

Ru Yan took a deep breath, calmed down, and said, "Sir, an informant from the British Duke's Palace came to report. The old lady said that the chamberlain who came to the mansion to deliver the message that day was from the Prince of Qin's Palace."

Ruan Chu placed the cup heavily on the table, "Is she trying to frame her? Can't she speak?"

Ru Yan said: "Although the old lady cannot speak, she can nod and shake her head, and her ears can still hear. My lord, what should I do?"

King Qin said: "Why are you panicking? We didn't do it, so why are you afraid that she will be framed? She thinks that the Jingzhao Palace and the Ministry of Punishment are just decorations?"

Ruan Chu said: "However, this will have an impact on the prince's reputation."

King Qin said nonchalantly: "They like to play this game, and I will play with them. As long as the British government can bear the consequences. I know about this, you go and do your business, don't worry."

　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　也也也.

Ruan Chu looked at King Qin and asked, "Is this the idea of ​​the wise king?"

King Qin said: "It should be that the wise king knows in his heart that doing this will not do anything to me. His purpose is just to ruin my reputation. Secondly, he wants to strike first so that I can't do anything to Mrs. Yang. The evidence of the crime that once persecuted me was revealed.”

Ruan Chu said: "He must have made a good calculation."

"Master, the princess has arrived at the shop." Ruxuan came in to report.

Ruan Chu stood up and said, "My lord, you are busy. This place is not far from the Ministry of War. I will go over and pay a visit to Minister Liu."

 Liu Guangliang, the minister of the Ministry of War, was Ruan Chu's superior.

 King Qin nodded: "Okay, let's see you later."

After Ruan Chu left, King Qin went to the shop.

When King Qin entered the backyard, Gu Huayu was lying on the second floor window looking down, "Qingyan! Here!"

King Qin looked up and saw Gu Huayu waving to him.

King Qin smiled and replied: "Wait for me, I will come up right away."

Gu Huayu watched King Qin walking towards the stairs and said to Lonicera: "Wait here and put the food on the table."

 After saying that, Gu Huayu quickly walked out of the door, ran into the room in the compartment, and hid herself.

Gu Huayu turned sideways and paid attention to the movement outside the door, listening to King Qin's footsteps walking from far to near, until the footsteps passed by the door, then she quickly rushed out of the room and jumped on King Qin.

King Qin smelled the familiar scent, smiled and put his arm around Gu Huayu.

Gu Huayu reached out to cover King Qin's eyes, and asked with a sweet smile: "Guess who I am?"

 King Qin started to make wild guesses in cooperation, and the two childish ghosts made a wild fuss for a while before Gu Huayu got off King Qin's back.

Gu Huayu looked around and asked, "When will the shop open?"

King Qin said: "Shopkeeper Miao suggested that we hire new people here. Ru'an will bring people back. They should arrive in the next two days. Once the people arrive, we can start the business."

"Have you thought of a name? Make it a teahouse?" Gu Huayu asked.

King Qin put his arm around Gu Huayu's shoulders and looked sideways at her, "I haven't thought about it yet. Do you have any good suggestions?"

Gu Huayu thought for a while and said, "How about Qinxiang Pavilion?"

 King Qin muttered it twice, nodded and said: "Yes, it's called Qinxiang Pavilion."

Gu Huayu said: "There are several yamen nearby. Let's turn Qinxiang Pavilion into a leisure hall, where we can drink tea and talk about things, or order a set meal here to solve the problem of eating.

Especially at noon, people from the government office went to restaurants to eat. They were in a hurry and couldn't eat well at all.

 Come to us and order a set meal, which can not only solve the problem of eating, but also talk about things. "

King Qin asked: "What is the set meal?"

Gu Huayu gritted her teeth, secretly sighed, and pursed her lips to explain: "It's a complete meal, with rice and vegetables, meat and vegetables, one serving. For example, the braised beef rice set is just one portion of braised beef , one portion of rice, one portion of vegetables, one portion of soup, and half a braised egg.

Kung Pao Chicken Rice Set, replace the meat dishes with Kung Pao Chicken, but the rest is the same. Of course, you can also replace the rice with noodles or powder. We operate in a diversified manner to give our customers more choices.

 Most importantly, we need to decorate the environment in an elegant way so that people feel comfortable and will not want to leave when they come. As long as they are looking for someone to talk to, they first think of Qinxiang Pavilion. "

King Qin said: "It's a very good idea, you little idiot, you are very talented in doing business."

Gu Huayu raised her eyebrows proudly: "Of course, I'm smart."

King Qin looked at Gu Huayu dotingly, nodded and said, "Okay, go back and tell Shopkeeper Miao your thoughts and let Shopkeeper Miao make arrangements."

“Okay, I’ll tell shopkeeper Miao later, let’s go inside and have dinner.”

King Qin smiled and said, "Did you bring food here? What delicious food did you cook today?"

 King Qin heard that Gu Huayu had brought food, and he was inexplicably looking forward to it.

Gu Huayu skipped a few steps, turned around and looked at King Qin, then walked backwards, "What do you think?"

King Qin shook his head, "I can't guess!"

Gu Huayu said: "Braised prawns in oil, glutinous pork ribs, pine nuts and corn, stir-fried bamboo shoots, old duck soup, four vegetables and one soup, how about it?"

 “Very good, thank you!” King Qin said with a smile.

 The two of them entered the house one after another. Lonicera had already put the food on the table.

Gu Huayu said: "You should go and eat too."

Lonicera bowed her knees and retreated.

In the British government palace, Gao Tuiguan, Li Cheng and the servants turned around and left Mrs. Yang's room.

The British Duke, the British Crown Prince Lu Dingkun, Lu Dingning and Lu Zixun followed him out.

Walking to the corridor, Lu Zixun rushed to Li Cheng's side.

He asked: "Young Master Li, my grandmother pointed out that the person who came to pick her up that day was from the Prince of Qin's Palace. Shouldn't the Ministry of Punishment ask the Prince of Qin to come to the court for questioning?"

Li Cheng has always been dissatisfied with Lu Zixun's style. He has little ability, but he has a high and condescending attitude.

 In the past, for Lu Ziqin's sake, Li Cheng would give him a few points.

Now that there is no need to look at Zi Qin's face, there is no need to hide the dislike for Lu Zixun in his heart.

Li Cheng looked at Lu Zixun and said with a half-smile: "The Ministry of Punishment handles cases according to the regulations of the Ministry of Punishment. Zixun doesn't have to worry about this."

 Because of the relationship with King Qi, Lu Zixun has always been hostile to Li Cheng.

He snorted coldly and said, "Young Master Li doesn't need to say these kind of words to me.

I know that Young Master Li is on good terms with the King of Qin, so I’m not surprised that you prefer the King of Qin..."

Li Cheng was annoyed by Lu Zixun's words and interrupted him before he finished speaking: "Zixun, you have the right to question me.

 But before you question it, please provide evidence instead of relying on your inconclusive conjecture.

Today I tell you clearly that when I do things, I do things to be worthy of the responsibilities of this official uniform and with a clear conscience.

 It is not your approval, Lu Zixun. "

Lu Zixun smiled contemptuously, "Who doesn't know how to talk big words? And Young Master Li has only been in the Ministry of Punishment for a few days? It's too early to say this!"

Li Cheng felt that he was crazy for arguing with a brainless person.

Li Cheng breathed out and said: "As an official of the imperial court and a member of the Ministry of Punishment, I will enforce the law impartially. I will not listen to partial beliefs, nor will I convict people based on just one side of the story.

On the day when something happened to me, when Zhang Shangshu, Zheng Shilang, Liu Fuyin and Gao Tui came to investigate the case, they all recorded the interviews with the people in the mansion.

If I remember correctly, the concierge of your mansion and the maids and women in the old lady's courtyard all said unanimously that the chamberlain who came to pick up the old lady was from Prince Xian's mansion.

These records are all evidence, not only the old lady’s testimony is evidence. "

Lu Zixun didn't understand the law at all regarding Xingtong. After hearing Li Cheng's words, he felt a little guilty. However, he still said with an aggressive face: "What does this servant know? My grandmother is the one who suffers, and her testimony is the most important. "

Li Cheng glanced at him, and then said: "The servants in the house are inconsistent with the old lady's testimony. There must be something hidden in this. Our people will find out the whole story and let the truth come out as soon as possible. I have something to do, so I'll leave first."

Lv Zixun looked at Li Cheng's back and said loudly: "The prince is guilty of breaking the law and the common people are the same. As an official of the Ministry of Punishment, Mr. Li must not protect those who break the law."

Li Cheng twitched the corners of his lips, turned around and smiled dryly, "Don't worry, Mr. Lu, I will enforce the law impartially. Considering that we have known each other for many years, framing is also a crime, especially framing the prince. The crime can be beheaded."

 Finished. Li Cheng bowed his hands to everyone in the British Palace and led the servants towards the gate.

 Lv Dingkun stepped forward and said, "I'll see you off."

Li Cheng once had respect for Lu Dingkun because of his relationship with Lu Ziqin.

He leaned forward and said, "My lord, please stay. I can go out by myself."

 Lv Dingkun continued to walk forward. "Let's go, I just have to go out of the house."

When Lu Dingkun's words were said, Li Cheng didn't say much, slowed down his steps, let him go behind Lu Dingkun half a step, and walked towards the gate together.

“Zixun has been targeting Ziqin like this all these years?” Lu Dingkun suddenly asked.

Li Cheng turned to look at Lu Dingkun, and then nodded, "It's almost like this behind his back. He wouldn't dare in front of King Qin."

 Lv Dingkun did not ask again.

Arrived at the gate of the British Duke's Mansion, Li Cheng bowed his hands to Lu Dingkun and left on horseback.

On the other side, Lu Zixun watched Li Cheng walk away, turned to look at the British father, and asked: "You know it's useless, but you still do this! Does this make sense?"

The British public said expressionlessly: "How could it be meaningless?"

Lu Zixun said: "Can Lu Ziqin be dismounted in this way?"

"cannot!"

Lu Zixun said dissatisfiedly: "Then why bother?"

The British Duke glanced sideways at Lu Zixun and said calmly: "Nothing can be done overnight. You need to be patient and plan it slowly. Do you understand?"
