Chapter 716: Continue the Investigation
Wei Qing patted Xiao Laojiu on the shoulder.
"One day, General Xiao will be able to clear his name and you will be able to leave here." After Wei Qing finished speaking, he disappeared into the dark night.
Xiao Laojiu sat on the ground in a daze.
He was no longer afraid, as he felt that this man had no ill intentions. Moreover, he said that General Xiao could clear his name...
This man is elusive and is not an ordinary person. He also feels that General Xiao is being wronged.
Maybe there really is someone powerful who is trying hard to help General Xiao clear his name.
Will there really be a day when I leave here?
His child was born in this mine and has never left here and has not seen the outside world.
I hope that day will come.
After Wei Qing left the iron mine, he returned to the posthouse.
He lay in bed for a while, and soon it was dawn.
He asked the secret guards to investigate the personnel of the Arrow Bureau, especially those in charge of the accounts, while he himself went to the iron mine, looking here and there, as if strolling around.
Chat with people occasionally.
I also went to the iron smelting furnace and just talked to people about how iron was smelted, and didn't ask anything else.
In the crowd, there were always several pairs of eyes watching Wei Qing's every move.
Although Tieguan did not accompany him in person, he knew exactly what Lord Wu had done.
It is said that Lord Wu is observant, smart and wise, and very good at handling cases. Is he just a name in vain?
During the few days that Wei Qing was hanging around the iron mine and the Arrow Bureau, the secret guards had almost finished investigating all the people in the Arrow Bureau.
The accountant in charge of recording the accounts was named Wang. He loved wine and beautiful women, and often went to Xiangyinglou, a famous brothel in Long County, and ordered Xiangying, the top performer in the brothel.
Each Xiangying order costs tens or even hundreds of taels of silver, and his monthly salary as an accountant is only a few taels of silver. It is obvious that there is something wrong.
Wei Qing hung around the iron mine for a few days, and finally stopped going to the mine and went to a brothel instead.
As soon as Wei Qing entered the brothel, he spent hundreds of taels of silver to keep Xiangying.
He was personally welcomed into a private room by the madam. He looked calm and composed, as if he often came to such places.
In fact, this was his first time entering a brothel, except for catching criminals.
He just doesn't understand why those men come to brothels. Aren't they happy hugging their wives at home?
Thinking of this, he began to miss his wife again. He didn't know when his wife would come back and when they could be reunited...
Wei Qing sat down in the box with great fanfare.
After a while, a beautiful woman with a delicate figure walked in. Her eyes lit up when she saw Wei Qing.
Xiangying is the top star. Her clients have all been preliminarily screened. She likes to meet young people and doesn't want those old men at all.
However, this is the first time I have seen such a good-looking guest.
His facial features are very deep and three-dimensional. He is wearing black brocade clothes, and you can faintly see the muscles under the clothes. He is strong and handsome. She is willing to spend money for such a high-quality customer!
Xiangying walked towards Wei Qing, wanting to lean into his broad arms softly.
But the man with his eyes lowered suddenly raised his head and his sharp eyes fell on her.
How could there be such a scary look?
Xiangying once had a guest who raised a wolf. Xiangying was very curious about the wolf, so the guest took her to see the wolf.
Xiangying felt that the man's eyes were just like those of the wolf, making people feel creepy.
Xiangying suddenly felt her body stiffen and her steps stopped.
"Stand there. Stand still."
Under the man's sharp gaze, Xiangying's bones grew, and she stood up straight, with her hands at her sides.
This generation of famous prostitutes was as well-behaved as the little pupils being taught by their teachers.
"Do you know Wang Youlang?" Wei Qing asked.
"That bald guy? I know him." Xiangying nodded.
Wang Youlang is her frequent customer. He is actually quite handsome, but unfortunately he is bald.
Xiangying felt uncomfortable when she saw his bald forehead.
Because of this, Xiangying was deeply impressed by him.
"He works for the Arrow Bureau. Did he tell you about the Arrow Bureau after he got drunk?" Wei Qing continued to ask.
"I'm not sure what to say about this guest..." Xiangying said.
Some people also asked them about the customers, but they kept their mouths shut. This is the rule in this industry, so as to avoid trouble.
Wei Qing took out a large piece of silver and handed it to Xiangying.
Xiangying's eyes lit up, and she immediately changed her tune: "Actually, there's nothing bad to say. He likes to scold his colleagues, saying that so-and-so is a flatterer, so-and-so is a hypocrite, and so-and-so is afraid of his wife... Oh, and he also said that when life is good, you should enjoy it to the fullest. One day, the court might find out and you'll lose your head!"
"What did the court discover?" Wei Qing asked.
"It seems to be an accounting problem. Once he was drunk and said he couldn't understand what Lord Lu did with so many arrows... Oh, this is just his drunken nonsense. I just listened to it and said it casually. Please don't take it seriously." Xiangying said.
Wei Qing stroked his chin, lost in thought.
The Lord Lu that Wang Youlang mentioned is probably Lu Tiju.
Wei Qing was a little surprised. After all, Lu Tiju looked quite upright and steady, and it was also within his expectations. After all, if Lu Tiju, the manager of the arrow bureau, had not given the order, how could others have embezzled arrows under his nose?
Where were the embezzled arrows sent?
Xiangying looked at the man in front of her boldly, and felt that he was even more charming when he was thinking with his chin in his hand. She took small steps quietly, trying to get closer to him.
"Stand still." Wei Qing said coldly, glancing at her.
Being stared at by those wolf-like eyes, Xiangying immediately stood still obediently with her hands on her sides.
Wei Qing stood up, threw the silver to Xiangying, and was about to leave.
But Xiangying grabbed his sleeve.
"Sir, you have already spent your money. Why don't you let Xiangying serve you tonight?" As she said this, she winked at Wei Qing ambiguously.
"No, my wife will break my legs." Wei Qing said and left quickly.
Xiangying stared at the piece of clothing in her hand in amazement.
Just because he had touched it before, the young man actually cut off the corner of his clothes with his sword.
Isn’t this too much?
Besides, the young man just mentioned was already quite strong. A wife who could break his legs... must be very strong too.
But thinking back carefully, the man was not afraid when he talked about his broken leg, but rather proud.
So, she was just shown off a wave of affection?
Xiangying threw the sleeve on the ground speechlessly.
After Wei Qing left the brothel, he asked the secret guard to bring Wang Youlang over.
In a room, Wang Youlang, who was lying on the ground, woke up slowly.
He remembered that he was sleeping in bed, so how come when he opened his eyes again, he found himself in a strange room?
Is he dreaming?
Why does my neck hurt?
Wang Youlang got up from the ground and saw his reflection in the mirror. His head above his forehead was completely bald...
Oh, it's not a dream.
