Chapter 84 Going to the Brothel to Investigate the Case
Lu Qiaoxiao stared at his harmless and clear eyes, trying to find some flaws.
He was so concerned about the fake silver case, could it be that he could roughly guess who was involved in the case?
Did he want to get to the bottom of it and bring the person behind it to justice after he knew about it?
With this conspiracy theory-like idea, Lu Qiaoxiao felt that the situation before her became increasingly confusing. She raised the corners of her lips and said, "Your Highness said you want to go, so naturally I will obey."
Seeing her so obedient, Wei Ran felt less interested. He couldn't help but recall that day when he came to the patrol office at night and saw her from afar laughing but forcing herself to suppress her sleepiness and continue reading the files.
In the closed space with the candlelight turned off, he fought with her palms and fists.
And that day during the hunt, she was so determined when she stabbed the mad wolf with her sword, and the cold sharpness in her eyes.
"Then let's go." Lu Qiaoxiao frowned slightly when she saw that he suddenly stopped talking. Could it be that he was going to regret it after saying it?
Wei Ran smiled leisurely and said meaningfully, "Commander Lu, you don't know that this brothel can only be rewarded if you go there at night."
Lu Qiaoxiao was stunned. She was indeed inexperienced in this area. After calming herself down, she said slowly, "Your Highness the Fifth Prince has experience, so I will follow your instructions. I will follow your instructions."
Wei Ran couldn't help but chuckle. This was quite a powerful statement. Was he going to put all the responsibility on him?
He was not wrong in his prediction. From the first moment he saw her during the hunting trip that day, he could tell that beneath her obedient appearance, she had a fierce heart.
Looking at the man in front of him with a fake smile, Wei Ran slowly waved his feather fan and said jokingly, "Then I think Commander Lu's outfit is not suitable either."
"From the first glance, I knew he wasn't a patron going to the brothel to drink. He looked like he was going there with a knife to take someone away."
Lu Qiaoxiao raised an eyebrow: "Your Highness tells me how to dress, and I will do as you say."
Her eyes fell on the prince in front of her, whose every move and gesture was somewhat romantic. She saw him waving a fan unsteadily, with a string of wooden beads on his wrist.
The color is smooth and even, emitting the soft and clear light unique to Buddhism.
Lu Qiaoxiao frowned.
This one——
How come it is so similar to the one she got before.
Lu Qiaoxiao's eyes flashed twice, "Your Highness, I would like to ask you a question -
Where did you get this string of sandalwood Buddhist beads you are wearing?"
On the day she went to Guanglin Temple, when she walked out of the room where Prince Ding'an was resting, she ran into a monk named Yuanyi. The man muttered some words that she half understood and half understood, and gave her a string of sandalwood Buddhist beads.
It is very similar to the one on Wei Ran's wrist.
Wei Ran looked at her with a grin, and swiftly took off the string of wooden beads. "If Commander Lu likes it, just take it. It's a gift for you."
Lu Qiaoxiao frowned and waved his hand quickly: "Your Highness, please excuse me. Let's get down to business."
A hint of sadness flashed across Wei Ran's eyes. The person in front of him acted like a delicate girl in front of the cold-faced Shen Yuheng.
In front of him, she was calm and clear-headed, yet also a little dull.
I just heard that it was Shen Yuheng who sent her back to the Patrol Office. Only after seeing his wife completely enter the door did Prime Minister Shen leave reluctantly.
Others said that Prime Minister Chen and his wife were in perfect harmony and a match made in heaven.
But why did it seem to him that she was coaxing that King Shen Yan?
It was obvious that she was very aggressive outside and was ruthless when leading her subordinates.
"Your Highness, I will send more people to investigate the mines within a hundred miles of the capital to see if there are any suspicious activities."
"According to regulations, these mines should be under the jurisdiction of the imperial court. If counterfeit silver is leaked, the people in charge are responsible."
"If we can find evidence of private silver minting, we can then catch the person behind the scenes."
Lu Qiaoxiao was still talking to herself. Wei Ran's eyes flickered. He looked into her eyes and said yes for some unknown reason.
After Lu Qiaoxiao was called out of the house by Boss Gu, Wei Ran's gaze returned to the string of sandalwood beads in his hand.
The mage gave him this string of beads, saying it carried an opportunity—
But how could he, a staunch materialist from the 21st century, be bound and fettered by so-called worldly opportunities?
His body was already weak, and he was just trying to keep himself alive.
How long can this frail body, which has never had enough food or warm clothes, survive after years of suffering from rheumatism in the cold palace?
A string of Buddhist beads, an opportunity?
If chance is so useful, why not save those in distress from the beginning?
The memories of the previous owner of this body flashed through his mind like a movie—
The real Wei Ran was completely dead, dying in the pond of Jinxiu Palace.
Wei Yan thought he was just bullying him as usual, so he kicked him into the water.
Little did people know that Wei Ran had already caught a cold at that time, and his body was empty. After soaking in the melted snow water, the cold poison invaded his body, and he died in less than three minutes.
This gave him the opportunity to come to this dynasty.
Poor Concubine Yun was only thirty years old in the palace, but she had already grown white hair at an early age. She was timid and was bullied. She didn't even know that her son was dead.
Wei Ran took a deep breath, pulled out a piece of paper from the table, dipped the purple-hair brush in ink and wrote something. After putting down the brush, he folded the paper into small square pieces.
At night, according to the discussion with Wei Ran, Lu Qiaoxiao changed into men's clothes.
With his hair tied up in a jade crown, wearing a wide men's robe and majestic square-toed boots, he really looks like a handsome and elegant young man.
Apart from the fact that her figure looks a little petite, there are no other flaws.
"Commander Lu, with your looks, no one would dare to call you a jade-faced young master." Wei Ran teased after seeing him, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
Lu Qiaoxiao had almost gotten used to his unrestrained mouth. He flipped his wrist, swung open his folding fan, and smiled a charming and charming smile. "Brother Ran, let's go."
Wei Ran was stunned. He didn't expect her to switch roles so quickly. "Let's go. According to the shift schedule, Boss Lu is already on the way."
Boss Lu, also known as Lu Liang, is the owner of Guofang Money House.
Half a month ago, Yun Mo and Qian Mu and Xie Dong from Qingshan Money House received a letter saying that Pei Jinxuan asked them to contact Mr. Lu from Guofang Money House to transfer a batch of urgent funds.
I think this is also the reason why King Pingyang was able to make up for the previous deficit and properly resettle all the affected people when dealing with the disaster relief in the southwest river.
But - Boss Lu is just a businessman and has never had any connection with the court. How could he take the risk of not being able to repay the loan and suddenly take out 8 million silver dollars for disaster relief?
I'm afraid there are some unknown interests behind this.
Prince's Mansion:
Jiang Weimian, dressed in blue, ran over happily, out of breath, and ran to the man sitting in the courtyard. He leaned over and whispered in his ear, lowering his voice:
"Chang Jue, there have been problems with the Ministry of Revenue's accounts over the past three years. Taxes have been under-collected and under-collected in the southwest. I'm afraid the accounts the Governor-General saw three months ago were all fake."
A hint of joy flashed in Shen Yuheng's eyes, and he clenched his fists hidden in his sleeves.
The jumping grasshopper had long wanted to crush him to death.
