Chapter 372
Master Rong said, "Sir, you are too nervous. Last year, the emperor sent someone to investigate openly and secretly. No flaws were found. How could he waste his energy and time? Besides, even if the emperor really wanted to continue investigating, he would have to send someone better than Qiu Hei-faced. How could he get a playboy? Prince Pan may have few luck in the world, but Jinshan may be hit by luck. Can he still pick up something that has been burned to ashes? What else can he do without evidence?"
"That's right. The prince also said that Prince Pan should be given the offer. Be careful when speaking with Xiao Feng." Prefect Wang nodded. The most important thing is that General Jin also looked down on Pan Jiaming, and said that he would follow him and not arouse his domineering spirit that was not afraid of that day. Don't violate the queen's taboo to use female sex for Pan Jiaming, so as not to send people to investigate according to the queen's wishes and burn his body in vain. At that time, there would be an excuse to dig three feet into his mansion.
Therefore, although he understood the wife's intention to marry the Duke of England and agreed with her, he still repeatedly warned her that she could only use clear **** and never play with those shameful means.
Unfortunately, let alone Pan Jiaming, even the second-level Xiao Feng was above the top, and he didn't even give a single eye to the girls they chose, as if he was hiding from something dirty.
"That's it," Master Rong looked at the same honor as the prince hero. "It's the matter of the fifth aunt, and the adults still have to deal with it carefully. It's best to keep it aside and don't let people know for the time being." Since Lu'e had a fight before the New Year, there have been constant rumors in Changyang City until now. If the incident of the fifth aunt swallowing gold and committing suicide is caused by this, everyone's various associations will be afraid that there will be more.
Wang Wenshan understood what Master Rong said, but he really loved Wu Minjun. Wu Minjun looked like a woman he had never asked for, and his eyes were even more lively and tender. He only glanced at him when he was in the court, and he was concerned about him. Later, he bought someone to change his name and surname and sent him to his mansion to become the fifth concubine. He also asked his nephew to lobby for several days with his perfect tongue and understanding of Wu Minjun, and then he accepted his fate wholeheartedly.
It has been almost two years since Wu Minjun was blooming in his arms like flowers. He felt like he was back to his twenties. In addition to restricting Wu Minjun from leaving the house, he was also very fond of this simple and cute fifth aunt. Early this morning, he heard the maid report that the fifth aunt had swallowed gold and died. He was really dizzy at the time.
"It is impossible not to lose," Wang Wenshan shook his head firmly, "After all, I have been with me for nearly two years and I am half the master of the mansion, so I have been so cold. But knowing that she committed suicide by swallowing gold, the only two maids around her were sent to the ground to continue serving Wu'er. Wu'er was unwell these two days and many people in the mansion knew about it, so it is reasonable to say that the sudden condition worsened and died, and there would be no bad words to spread."
"Oh, I'm blaming me," he really regretted it. "I've long seen that she was not in a good mood these two days, but I didn't think much about it. I didn't expect that yesterday was the life sacrifice of Lu'er. When Wu'er died, he still held Lu'er's bead hairpin in his hand."
"So that's it," Master Rong seemed to have figured out the key points at once, "After all, they are sisters. What Lu'e said at that time must have hurt the fifth aunt's heart and left a knot in her heart. The sick woman is the most vulnerable, and just happened to meet Lu'e's life sacrifice. I'm afraid she remembered the past again and couldn't bear it for a while, so..."
Not? The words woke up the dreamer. The only confusing doubt in the heart of the prefect Wang was completely gone: "So I can't treat her badly. I always have to choose a good cemetery and bury her seriously. By the way, I will adopt Sanlang to Wu'er's name. It is also considered that she has a son who beats banners and throws basins, and someone will worship incense in the future."
Anyway, Sanlang was originally a concubine's son, so what does it matter under which concubine's name? As for Sanlang's biological mother, the third concubine, she would have another daughter in the future. No matter how bad she was, she would have another daughter. Speaking of which, he also owed her a lot to her, but who made the Wang brothers ungrateful and forced the lord to take ruthless actions? Moreover, the second son of the Wu family discovered a loophole in the salt tax account. If he was not removed at that time, he and Dai Pin would be in danger.
Master Rong was shocked. It seemed that the adults were really sincere to Aunt Wu. Perhaps, there was also a general mentality of doing things wrong. I hope that Aunt Wu would not resent him after he became a ghost because of his sincere treatment. However, for Aunt Wu's age, that son was too old, and was only less than ten years younger than her.
In fact, if he wants to say, it’s no wonder that the officialdom is like a battlefield, either you die or I live. Who made Wu Laoer not as good as the Tao? What’s the purpose of being an official? Isn’t it just to be a powerful and prosperous person?
"By the way, sir," Master Rong devoted himself to the main topic. "I found out the water in the second young master's yard last night, and there was no doubt about it. Before the accident, Prince Pan and his yard had never been out. Prince Pan probably was tired from hunting in Dayun Mountain during the day and went to Dayun Mountain to go to hunt very early. Xiao Feng was not asleep yet and read books in his own house." In order to let Prince Pan stay in Changyang, or to stay in the prefect's palace for more days, the adults were also very invested and made many tricks. I heard that Prince Pan liked hunting, they specially praised Dayun Mountain as a rare hunting place, and specially summoned several officials who were good at hunting, accompanied by the emperor's sons.
"I'm suspicious," said the prefect Wang. "My study and bedroom were carefully checked, without any missing items, and there was no trace of searching. Besides, I had also thought it was a bit out of the question before. Even if someone really took the time to ask Wu'er the truth about the letters of Wu'er's Wu family, it would have caused Wu'er to commit suicide, it would be useless, right? It was without any evidence, and I forced my concubine to death. No matter how I said it, it was all on my side."
"You are wise, sir," Mr. Rong never spared any effort to flatter him. "What are you keeping the account book? It's all a hidden danger. But, when Mr. Dai was so unwilling at that time, can we be sure that he had burned the account book too?"
"It should be... burned... right?" Prefect Wang frowned, "Is it so nervous at that time last year, and that person Dai Pin was not very brave." However, the lord did not seem to be so relieved about Dai Pin, so the three books were stored in three places, just to let them restrain each other. Because of his reliance, he could ensure that the Wang family would not be treated as a waste chess by the lord, but Dai Pin should not have it. Perhaps he might not be willing to burn the account book. No, he would find some time to warn Dai Pin again. Uh, since he had burned it, why should Dai Pin keep it? As for the third book, he didn't have to worry about it. Those two people were not simple.
On this side, Wang Wenshan and his staff completely relieved their suspicion of many coincidences last night, but they did not know that Pan Jiaming, who was determined to be a harmless playboy, really picked up the account book they thought they had burned out long ago, and there were three handwritten letters with more testimony functions. The simple and lovely fifth aunt who Wang Wenshan claimed to be hardworking and kind was the initiator of this "accident".
Pan Jiaming's ability to shop and buy things made people recognize him. Those who know his identity couldn't help but sigh, "It turns out that he is the number one playboy, and he doesn't know how to spend money!"
Even Xiao Feng couldn't help but look up and down at him: "Are you excited? Or have you picked up gold? We seem to be going south. Are you planning to buy another carriage to load the things you bought today?"
"Stupid!" Pan Jiaming sneered, "Have you heard of Shunfeng Escort Agency? You won't send the things back first? Well, part of them will be sent to the capital, and part of them will be placed in Luocheng first. Just ask Manager Xu to help us collect them first." He just wanted to buy and buy today. It's amazing to have money? He really doesn't compare to anyone who lacks money, and his taste is no worse than anyone else!
"The problem is," Xiao Feng raised his eyebrows, "This snow lotus hairpin is beautiful, tsk, it has a cool and gentle charm, but this is not suitable for us Xiao Ling'er, right? Xiao Ling'er is still suitable for wearing that kind of pearl or silk flower at present." By the way, Mingzi really has vision. This hairpin is like tailor-made for Miss Yin. Hehe, no wonder he saw this hairpin as soon as he entered Zhenyu Pavilion, and then he looked at it, as if he had seen Miss Yin.
Pan Jiaming sniffed: "I am happy to collect it first? Don't you know that good jade ornaments have any value in collecting besides being worn?"
"That's right, this young man is really a wise man," the shopkeeper saw the outfits and demeanor of the two people in front of him, and guessed that they were the nobles whom the great manager of the prefect just came to explain to him to pay attention to.
"This hairpin is famous. It is made of Tianshan jade snow. Bai Xiaolang, a famous jade carving craftsman, carved it with a piece of most missed mutton fat. There is only one in the world." The shopkeeper introduced enthusiastically, "Young Master knows jade and you can see that this jade is delicate and transparent, as white as a piece of fat. It is a rare treasure among jade that you can meet. With Bai Xiaolang's carving, it is really a rare treasure. Even if we are the treasure pavilion, you may not often see such a treasure. You probably don't know that this hairpin has just been put on for less than a quarter of an hour. You are the first guest to see it, which is a kind of fate."
The shopkeeper is really not talking nonsense. This hairpin is too expensive. They are worried that some ladies and ladies who are reluctant to spend such a large price to buy a hairpin will ask to take it out, play with it, or even try it on it. This will damage the quality of the hairpin. If there are even a little bump, who will bear this responsibility? You must know how realistic the snow lotus on the top of this hairpin is carved, and the petals are as thin as real petals. It is impossible to take risks!
Therefore, they generally do not display this type of particularly expensive goods directly outside. They will only take out recommendations when they encounter extraordinary actions and customers who know that they have the corresponding purchasing ability and willingness to check the treasures. That is, they just heard that Prince Pan is shopping in a shop and only buys the best and most expensive ones, so they quickly put out this Tianshan Yuxue and several other expensive goods, and then he, the shopkeeper, personally guards, to prevent any mistakes.
Unexpectedly, Prince Pan's vision was really poisonous. As soon as he entered the shop, he saw this white jade hairpin with the most expensive unit price in the shop. Tsk tsk, so the number one playboy is not useless. At least he has been used to seeing all kinds of good things since he was a child, and his vision is very comparable to people.
"No wonder," Pan Jiaming became even more satisfied after hearing the shopkeeper's introduction. "It turned out to be Bai Xiaolang's handwriting." Carefully lift the hairpin and look at it in front of the hairpin. Sure enough, there is a word "Lang" carved in a special font at the bottom of the hairpin. It takes a very careful look to identify it.
Bai Xiaolang is the most famous jade carving craftsman in Daying. Different things are carved according to the size, shape and quality of the jade material. It may be decorations, jade pendants, pen washing, snuff bottles, table screens and other large items, rather than special decorations. Bai Xiaolang does not like to repeat, and his works are generally unique, but all works will be engraved with the same logo, with only the word "Lang" the size of an ant.
Judging from Pan Jiaming's actions, the shopkeeper knew that he must have it. At least he had seen many jade carving works by Bai Xiaolang. It seemed that he had taken out this hairpin and it seemed that he had really got it right.
The shopkeeper was about to speak again when he heard a praise "What a beautiful hairpin! Can I take a look?"
When he looked up, he walked towards them a young man wearing a golden fire mask and a sky blue brocade robe with an extraordinary temperament. A woman wearing a golden mask was followed behind him, and it was probably a maid.
The shopkeeper couldn't help but blurt out, "Qi Mubai? Qi... Young Master?" He saw that he was alive. Sure enough, he was as elegant as a legitimate immortal, and had a noble aura. Well, today his Zhenyu Pavilion is really a distinguished guest!
"It's just that," Zhiruo didn't feel pretentious and smiled, "Young master, do you want this hairpin? Can I take a look?" She looked at the two young men in front of her, probably not having bought the hairpin, and didn't know if she had any chance. As soon as she entered the shop, she saw the snow lotus jade hairpin being held up by someone to see, and her eyes couldn't be moved away. It was so beautiful! It was like a fresh snow lotus that was about to bloom.
"No, come first and then come. I already like it," Pan Jiaming refused, but did not turn around, looking proud, "Shopkeeper, please wrap it up for me, be careful to put it in, don't knock it off." So what about Qi Mubai? If it weren't for Qi Mubai's words, you might even have a look.
Only Xiao Feng, who was smiling secretly, could see clearly. When he heard Qi Mubai's admiration, Pan Jiaming was obviously happy to turn around and see, and there was an excitement of "heroes cherish heroes". This is how people are. Some people like them, and they also like them or highly appreciate them, and naturally they will have an instinctive excitement.
