Chapter 198 A Wonderful Way to Find Someone
The Marquis's wife asked her cousin to look for his cousin, who was not even remotely related to her. It sounded ambiguous no matter how you looked at it. No wonder others were speculating.
Su Qianqian noticed that everyone's expressions were not right, especially Jiang Baipin, who had an indescribable look on his face, while Qin Hanzhang's face was as gloomy as water. Only then did she come to her senses.
"......'s friends!" Su Qianqian added.
Qin Hanzhang's face turned even darker.
"It's like this, brother-in-law. This Jiang Fan used to owe my cousin's mother... the late Madam Jiang five thousand taels of silver in my cousin's name. My sister is short of money recently, so she asked me to help find this man to collect the debt."
After Su Qianqian finished speaking, she let out a sigh of relief, feeling a little proud in her heart: The east wind blows and the war drums beat, who can I be afraid of when making up a story?
"Your sister is short of money? It's you who is short of money! It costs a lot of money to come here and enjoy the kindness of a beautiful woman."
Qin Hanzhang's eyes swept across Yan Huai and fell on Su Qianqian's cheek. The blush there disappeared, leaving only a faint peach color.
Qin Hanzhang frowned and just wanted to hide this face.
"Haha, no matter who is short of money, we can't let Jiang Fan get away with it. I heard that I could find him by leaving a letter here, so I came to take a look. It's just a coincidence that I enjoy the favor of a beautiful woman."
Su Qianqian felt like she was caught by her mistress while visiting a brothel. Now all she could do was to send the letter as quickly as possible and contact Mingyue Tower. Using their information network, perhaps she would achieve twice the result with half the effort.
Everyone at the table greeted each other and returned to their seats. The girl who had gone to get the writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone had been waiting cautiously by the door for a while.
"Beauty, bring it here." Su Qianqian called to the girl. The girl lowered her head shyly, walked over with the tray and placed it on the desk next to her where she wrote poetry and painted.
"Mr. Su, I wonder how to find that... old friend of Jiang Fan?" Jiang Baipin leaned on the other side of the Arhat bed, took a sip of wine and asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Mr. Jiang, have you heard of Mingyue Tower?" Su Qianqian leaned towards Jiang Baipin mysteriously and said in a low voice.
"I have heard of it." Jiang Bai nodded.
Qin Hanzhang reached out and grabbed Su Qianqian's collar, pulling her back with a look of dissatisfaction: "Just talk if you want to, why do you have to get so close?"
"This Jiang Fan has the same name as that building owner, and we will definitely not allow his reputation to be tarnished. I will ask Mingyue Building to look for Jiang Fan who owes money and refuses to pay it back. I don't believe that we won't be able to find him!"
Su Qianqian straightened her collar, rolled up her sleeves insidiously, and walked towards the desk.
"That's a good idea. It's unlucky for Master Mingyue to meet you." Jiang Baipin smiled and shook his head, lowering his eyes to look at the wine cup in his hand.
"Although I'm from Daliang, I've heard that Mingyue Tower has its own mail receiving mark and address. If you're not a Jianghu person, you can't find it easily. How did Master Su know about it?"
Prince Ping suddenly asked.
"Of course I got the news. There is a letter mark in the Misty Rain Tower. Although I don't know what it is, I can try it out."
Su Qianqian picked up the pen confidently, and Yan Huai ground the ink for her personally. She also gave her a doting look, which made Yan Huai's face blush.
Qin Hanzhang: These places of entertainment must be strictly inspected in the future, and people with the surname Su are strictly prohibited from entering.
"Jiang Fan once took two chickens from my cousin, Madam Jiang, and never returned them for many years... puff..."
Yan Huai read the note written by Su Qianqian softly. He couldn't help laughing, but he quickly held it back and pursed his lips.
"Jiang Fan eats two buns from Su Qian every day and hasn't paid for more than ten years..."
"Jiang Fan owes his cousin, Madam Jiang, five thousand taels of silver, and he hasn't paid it back for many years!"
…
Su Qianqian wrote more than a dozen letters in one breath, fanned them all out, folded them, sealed them, and marked the outside. She put them in the positions according to the marks. Whichever letter received a reply, the mark would be from Mingyue Tower.
"Distribute all these letters. I'll see if there are any suspicious marks..."
Su Qianqian started observing from the moment she entered the room, and had already discovered several places with round moons, such as screens painted with moons, scrolls, antique vases, and...
He took a marked letter, which was to ask for the return of the two chickens, walked up to Jiang Baipin, and placed the letter on the place on his robe where the moon was.
"Mr. Jiang, the fact that you have the same last name as Jiang Fan is suspicious, and you are wearing a robe embroidered with a bright moon. I'll leave this one to you."
Su Qianqian took the other dozen letters and asked Su Xing to deliver them to the places she told him to. After Su Xing left, Jiang Baipin picked up the letter, raised his eyebrows and said:
"I heard that Mingyue Tower doesn't accept business below 1,000 taels. If Mr. Su happens to win all the bids, I'm afraid he will have to pay more than 10,000 taels before he even gets 5,000 taels."
"How could it be... Never mind. If I really win, I'll pay for one and then write another one. As for the rest... they weren't written by me."
Su Qianqian acted like a rogue who was afraid of no one.
"It is said that Mingyue Tower has always pursued those who posted false help requests and did not pay the reward after responding to the request until they get back the reward they deserved, plus interest."
Jiang Baipin held the letter between two fingers and smiled brightly at Su Qianqian.
[You smile so beautifully, are you trying to please girls? ! But it is very effective. The girl over there kept looking at the Dahongpao. 】
Su Qianqian complained to the system in her heart, and took a sip of the drink handed to her by Su Xing without even looking at it. However, she couldn't help but frowned at the taste: "What is this..."
"This hangover-relief soup with coptis root and aged vinegar is specially made for you. Don't waste it. Drink more."
Qin Hanzhang looked at Su Qianqian coldly.
"Not bad, thank you for your concern, brother-in-law." Su Qianqian's face was twisted into a ball. Knowing that she was in the wrong, she swallowed her anger and drank the bowl of bitter and sour soup.
"My Lord, you are very attentive to my cousin." Prince Ping spoke at this time. There was no unusual expression on his face, and there was always a faint smile at the corners of his lips.
"My brother-in-law is a stubborn man. I dare not neglect my duty when my lady orders me to do so. Please forgive me, envoy."
Qin Hanzhang still looked indifferent and glanced at Prince Ping.
[My dear, why don’t you just stay here and wait to die? You've drunk vinegar and suffered a lot, but you're still not sober. Others forget their principles for the sake of beauty, but you forget your life for the sake of beauty! 】
The system finally spoke angrily, and even its voice was filled with anger.
Su Qianqian was reluctant to leave, so she only listened to one song and was pressed on the head by the beauty for a moment. She had not collected much of the 30,000 taels of interest and was about to be captured by Qin Hanzhang.
"Brother-in-law, you must be tired after a busy day at work, why don't you just..."
Qin Hanzhang looked over coldly.
"Come back with me, envoy. I will ask you about the customs and habits of Daliang another day. Mr. Jiang, we will meet again. I will take my leave now."
Su Qianqian quickly changed her words, stood up from the bed, and bowed to those people to say goodbye.
"Mr. Su, it's a rare opportunity for us to get together. Why rush? The girls here will be sad." Prince Ping said with a smile.
"The envoy may continue to enjoy the care of the beauty." Qin Hanzhang also stood up, but his eyes fell on the one-armed chief historian and stared at him for a moment.
"Ah..." A shrill scream came from outside. Jiang Baipin raised his head and smiled at Su Qianqian: "I'm afraid Master Su can't leave!"
