Chapter 182 [Mentor Neptune]
Old Doctor Qi asked the servant to get a pot of wine and soak the handkerchief. In just a cup of tea, the handkerchief changed color, and the originally ivory white handkerchief turned a light blue.
Qi Yun bowed to Xia Su and said, "Master Xia, there is indeed some incense powder on this handkerchief. When it comes into contact with alcohol, it will turn a light blue."
Everyone's eyes on Zhou Shuling changed instantly.
Bu Shujing, who had also been victimized, was particularly hot-tempered. She immediately stepped forward and questioned him, "Just now you said my temples were messy, and the hand holding the handkerchief was fixing them for me. Turns out you had other intentions!"
Despite the overwhelming evidence, Zhou Shuling struggled desperately: "I don't know what happened, and I don't know who touched my handkerchief."
Xue Wei said to everyone in a serious tone, "To be honest, I found this handkerchief in the soil under the peach tree."
"I saw a large group of ants gathered under a peach tree. I was curious, so I squatted down and observed for a while."
While Xue Wei was speaking, Jiang Wanyue kept staring at him, as if she wanted to see a hole in him.
She had thought Xue Wei was slow in everything, but she didn't expect him to be so sharp at this critical juncture. She didn't know if it was a coincidence or premeditated.
She really couldn't understand why Xue Wei would help He Lin. She had already checked and found out that Xue Wei had no dealings with the He family. One was the son of the Grand Tutor, and the other was a businessman who had just arrived in the capital. The two had no connection at all.
Xue Wei pointed in the direction of the peach tree and said, "I didn't expect to find this handkerchief buried in the soil. It looks like it was buried not long ago, and the soil that was dug out is still fresh."
Hou Xiaoxiao looked at Zhou Shuling's hand and spoke with the dignity of a princess: "Miss Zhou, there is dirt between your nails."
Zhou Shuling immediately tried to cover up, but her claws had already been caught by the two noble ladies beside her.
Bu Shujing tightly grasped her wrist and said, "I'm good friends with you, but I never thought you would actually want to harm me!"
She was very clear-headed at this moment: "We just met by chance. Are you looking for a pawn to harm Master He? Who sent you here?"
Zhou Shuling panicked with tears in her eyes, "That's not true. I was really wronged!"
She hurriedly looked in the direction of Jiang Wanyue, but Jiang Wanyue had already disappeared into the crowd.
Xia Su, commander of the military command, waved to the attendants behind him, "You are harming others in public. Take him away for investigation!"
Zhou Shuling was taken away and the truth was revealed. The guests were slightly relieved, but they felt even more distressed that He Lin was being targeted like this.
Seeing his father's quick and efficient work, Xia Guangquan asked, "Dad, are you going to stop caring about my affairs?"
It would have been fine if he hadn't said anything, but as soon as he did, Xia Su looked at him sternly, "The matter has been thoroughly investigated. You unfilial son, why don't you quickly apologize to Master He!"
Xia Su looked at the four clay figures standing beside him, and he was furious. If he offended the He family this time, it would be difficult to redeem himself. "And you four, my son is ignorant, and you are also ignorant and indulge him, drinking and riding horses in broad daylight."
The four dandies quickly begged for mercy: "Commander, we were drunk and didn't know our place."
Xia Su, with an iron-faced expression, ordered his men, "Take these five drunken men and take them back to jail. Punish those who deserve it, and compensate those who deserve it!"
Xia Guangquan's eyes widened when he heard this: "Father, am I going to jail too?"
"What is so noble about you?"
Xia Su glared at the embarrassed Xia Guangquan: "Hurry up and apologize to Mr. He!"
He came to He Lin today to ask for something, so he had to pretend to be well behaved. Besides, Xia Guangquan smelled really bad, so he had to be locked up in jail for a few days to get rid of the smell, otherwise the whole Xia family would be in trouble!
Xia Guangquan was escorted to He Lin and respectfully apologized, "Boss He, today... I was wrong! I hope you can forgive my mistakes!"
When he said this, every word seemed to be choked out of his throat, which was very humiliating.
The young men in the capital had never seen Xia Guangquan, the evildoer, apologize humbly. They were surprised and admired He Lin's skill.
At present, He Lin has gained more than a hundred loyal fans. In the future, He Lin's reputation for both good looks and strength will probably spread throughout the capital.
When Xia Guangquan was taken away, Xia Su also reminded him: "By the way, when you come out of the prison, remember to go back to the mansion through the back door. Don't make the main gate of my Xia Mansion look bad."
After cleaning up these eyesores, He Lin felt proud today and his mission was complete.
Squad leader Qi Yun spoke at the right time: "I see that the young master has not recovered from his cold and has been working so hard. He should take better care of his health and get enough rest."
"I'm sorry everyone, there were quite a few incidents during this flower viewing banquet. Fortunately, all the distinguished guests trusted me and sympathized with me."
He Lin reassured the guests: "Now that the crisis is over, please move on. The stage is ready for the show."
“There will also be many raffles and a fireworks show at the end of the night.”
Today's performance of He Lin teaching Xia Guangquan a lesson was already exciting enough. Hearing that there was such rich content to come, everyone's curiosity was aroused. After instructing He Lin to take good care of his health, they all returned to the guest seats.
Xia Su finally had a chance to talk to He Lin: "Mr. He, I want to buy something from you. I wonder if you can discuss it with me in detail."
He Lin saw the fish take the bait and smiled faintly: "Master Xia, please."
The students were very happy after the team battle. They helped the big star to make a name for himself in Beijing. It was just a matter of time before the Beijing team dominated the city.
@Xue Wei: Is there anyone who can help me? How am I supposed to deal with Jiang Wanyue? I have a feeling she's involved in today's incident. Now it all depends on how the military commander handles the case. However, if she finds out I've been using her, she'll definitely not let it go!
@江麗麗: This isn't easy to handle. Just ask our mentor Neptune for advice! @周居善]
@Zhou Jushan: Let me teach you a trick: draw a pie in the sky!
Xue Wei was asking for help in the group chat when Jiang Wanyue came over and started probing him: "It seems that Xue Lang and the young master of the He family have a close relationship. He helped the He family a lot today."
"He was even able to find the handkerchief Miss Zhou threw away. Xue Lang is much more careful than Wanyue imagined."
——"This is the first time I've met Mr. He."
Xue Wei said openly, "However, when I saw that Master He dared to challenge the Xia family, I knew that the reason why he was so stubborn was probably because he had someone behind him, so he felt safe and secure, so I wanted to make friends with him."
"You know I have my sights set on the imperial court. Everything I do now is paving the way for my future."
After listening to Xue Wei's analysis, Jiang Wanyue's doubts were somewhat alleviated. She felt that she had not misjudged this person. This person was indeed a good material for an official position. But why was he so cold to her? "Then why did Xue Lang invite Wanyue to this flower viewing banquet?"
