Chapter 17: Which good person in Yunxia Palace put the pornographic book on the table? …
Xiao Dezi stared in amazement as the two of them got closer and closer. His heart beat faster and his face turned red. He simply turned his back and dared not look anymore.
That's how Shen Jiaren and Su Mian walked a few steps away, avoiding Xiao Dezi, and began to exchange conditions.
"My lady, I have been keeping your instructions in mind. The Emperor has been very busy with government affairs recently, so he will definitely come out to relax tomorrow."
This means that the Dog Emperor has completely agreed to come to Cuiping Lake to meet Shen Jiaren tomorrow.
No matter what method is used, Su Mian will have to be dragged to him.
"Thank you, Eunuch Su."
Shen Jiaren knew when to stop. He also knew that Su Mian was now a favorite of the emperor and could not be offended. It was already not easy to get some benefits from him.
"Then I don't know what the beautiful lady said..."
Su Mian looked at Shen Jiaren nervously. If the information Shen Jiaren provided was useful, the truth would be revealed soon.
"I heard that the banned drugs originated from the border. If I remember correctly, Wei Ceqing is from the border."
"Are you serious?"
Su Mian was a little surprised. If that was the case, it could be basically confirmed that Wei Ceqing was the one who did it.
"Really? Look at his seductive look. Can't you tell he's from the border?"
No wonder Su Mian found Wei Ceqing even more charming, it turned out that he was a border man here.
"Thank you, my lady."
After Su Mian finished speaking, he patted Xiao Dezi on the shoulder and couldn't wait to lead him away.
But as soon as he turned around, Shen Jiaren stuffed a package into his arms, but Xiao Dezi didn't see it.
"Eunuch Su, where are we going?"
Xiao Dezi was a little confused. Seeing Su Mian yelling in a hurry, he didn't know what had happened and was very curious about what he had talked about with Shen Jiaren.
"Go find Wei Ceqing."
"Did the father-in-law get any news?"
"You'll find out when you get there."
Su Mian was still somewhat wary of Xiao Dezi and had no intention of telling him everything.
Seeing that he didn't want to say anything, Xiao Dezi curled his lips and stopped asking questions. He was ready to stare at Su Mian and complain at any time.
"Here, it's for you."
Seeing Xiao Dezi's dead look, he had probably changed sides in his heart again. Su Mian generously took out a gold ingot from the sachet that Shen Jiaren had just stuffed into his arms and stuffed it into Xiao Dezi's hand.
"ah……"
When Xiao Dezi saw what was in his hand, his mouth was so shocked that a duck egg could almost fit in it.
"This, this, this... is it for me?"
[Yes, if I don’t turn around for you, you will sell me out. What should I do then?/Mianmian sighs/Mianmian holds his forehead. ]
Su Mian nodded and didn't say much, but Xiao Dezi was already very excited.
He also felt that if he stretched his head out, he would die, and the money was real only when it was in his hands! So what if Eunuch Su had an affair! God knows, the earth knows, and he knows, no fourth person knows!
——
Inside the Yunxia Palace, the melodious sound of the guqin lingered in Su Mian's ears. As soon as Su Mian approached, he felt his soul calmed down as if it had been cleansed.
"Could this be played by Wei Ceqing?"
Thinking back to the pink peacock he saw on the day he first arrived, Su Mian found it difficult to put the two together.
"Yes, Eunuch Su, Wei Ceqing is an excellent zither player, and no one in the entire Lanling Kingdom can match him."
[The Dog Emperor really does collect peripherals... None of his skills are repeated, awesome. ]
Su Mian silently gave the Dog Emperor a thumbs up in his heart.
Entering the hall, Su Mian immediately saw Wei Ceqing sitting in front of the guqin. If you ignore his dead Barbie pink gown, weird makeup, and the pink chicken feather on his head, he is still... quite elegant.
"Hey, Eunuch Su, what a rare visitor."
After the song ended, Wei Ceqing opened his eyes and saw Su Mian standing in front of him. He didn't like her very much.
After all, Wei Ceqing was confined by the emperor because Su Mian fell into the water, so he must be resentful.
"Haha, Mr. Wei, you are joking. I have missed you very much after not seeing you for a long time."
Xiao Dezi's shock continues.
"My father-in-law is really good at joking. If you have anything to say, just say it directly."
Since the emperor was not around, Wei Ceqing was too lazy to act shy. He stood up, put the piano away, walked to the table and sat down, then let Su Mian sit down.
"Oh, nothing much. I just heard that Mr. Wei's family is from the border, so I wanted to communicate with him."
Su Mian didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point. He really didn't like this Wei Ceqing. The sooner he asked, the sooner he could finish the work and leave early!
But when Wei Ceqing heard what he said, his hand that was pouring tea trembled, and the water flowed a little astray and overflowed onto the table. Naturally, Su Mian saw this strange thing.
"Don't be nervous, my lord. I am just asking casually as ordered."
He deliberately said that he was following orders, and Wei Ceqing did not dare to hide anything.
"Yeah, so what if I was born in the border area? Could it be that Eunuch Su suspected that I poisoned Brother Lin?"
There was nothing unusual in what he said, but Su Mian discovered that Wei Ceqing was the only one who called Lin Jiaren "brother".
It would be fine if I were just pretending in front of the emperor, but why should I pretend in front of him?
Su Mian vaguely felt that the relationship between Lin Jiaren and Wei Ceqing was not as bad as it seemed.
"I dare not."
Su Mian bowed his head to apologize, and continued, "I wonder if you have ever seen Dong Gu powder?"
"Humph, Dong Gu Powder has been lost for many years. It disappeared long before I was born. How could I have seen it?"
"Sir, do you mind if I take a look?"
"random."
Wei Ceqing fiddled with his fingers without looking up at Su Mian.
After getting permission, Su Mian walked around Wei Ceqing's bedroom without any hesitation.
He looked around casually and found a strange book on the desk. The cover was yellowed. He originally thought it was some secret story about the border.
As a result, when he casually opened it, his face immediately turned red, from his neck to his ears, like a boiled crab.
[Broad day and night!] Bright and clear world! How shameful! ]
"It seems that the father-in-law still has his charm."
Wei Ceqing raised his eyelids and took in Su Mian's reaction. He naturally knew what he had flipped over, so he teased him deliberately.
After he said that, Su Mian's face turned red. She didn't dare to turn the page a second time and closed the book immediately.
"What is it?"
Little Dezi was curious and walked forward to open it to have a look. Su Mian slapped him on the back of his hand and scolded him, "Don't look around, kid."
[Which good person would put a pornographic book on the desk so openly? ! ! Outrageous! ! ! ]
Yes, that's right. What Su Mian opened was a pornographic book with pictures. The page he turned to happened to be the one where two naked men were doing a cart.
Shaking his head to get rid of the image in his mind, Su Mian continued to check other places.
But his thoughts were disturbed, so he couldn't concentrate completely. He just turned around and prepared to leave.
Before leaving, Wei Ceqing deliberately shouted to him: "Eunuch Su, I see you seem to like that book very much, how about giving it to you? I have several copies here."
[Amitabha, keep it for yourself to read! This straight man will get stye! ]
Su Mian repeated this to himself several times, quickened his pace, and ran away with Xiao Dezi. Xiao Dezi was completely confused, and felt that this eunuch Su seemed to be acting strangely with the concubines in the harem.
But he received hush money, so he naturally wouldn't say these things.
After a day of hard work, Su Mian was not only exhausted but also hadn't found anything useful. All she wanted to do was go back and lie in bed.
But the boss doesn't allow it.
In the blink of an eye, he was already serving in Mingzheng Hall.
"How's the investigation going?"
It was the same opening sentence as in a work report again, and Su Mian was overwhelmed.
[Why can’t I escape work pressure even after traveling back to ancient times? Damn it! ]
But he still had to accept his fate and reply.
"Your Majesty, there is no direct clue at present, but I have found some clues."
"Tell me about it."
In fact, Su Mian didn't have any clues. He just felt that Wei Ceqing and Lin Jiaren looked a little suspicious when they were chatting, but this could not be used as evidence.
[I can’t tell him that I saw the pornographic book on Wei Ceqing’s desk…]
When Cheng Changgeng heard him say this, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly. What did he hear? Pornographic book? Is he really investigating a case?
[Oh, got it!] ]
"Your Majesty, the eunuch under Lady Lin said that he met Eunuch Wang on the way back to Songning Palace."
"Wang Dequan?"
Cheng Changgeng calmed down and continued his question.
"Exactly."
Su Mian lowered his head and lowered his eyes. Anyway, it was Xiao Wenzi who said that himself, and he was just a messenger. He would not go if it would offend the Royal Lord and let the dog emperor go by himself!
Little did he know that Cheng Changgeng could hear all his little thoughts clearly.
"In that case, you should go to Fengxiang Palace tomorrow to inquire clearly."
[md, the dog emperor is so smart. ]
With a face full of resentment, Su Mian had already performed a whole set of military boxing on Cheng Changgeng in his mind, imagining him being beaten black and blue and kneeling on the ground begging for mercy.
"I obey your order."
But he had to obey.
His eyes rolled around, and Su Mian remembered that he still had a mission to carry out, and began to think about what to do.
[How can I get the Dog Emperor to go to Cuiping Lake with me tomorrow? ]
Listening to his thoughts, Cheng Changgeng couldn't help but feel curious. Why did he want to invite him to Cuiping Lake for no reason? Is there any surprise after I get the idea?
Thinking of this possibility, Cheng Changgeng was in a good mood, thinking that the gold was not given to him in vain, and he finally knew how to repay him.
[It’s so hot, let’s prepare some icy cold water to cool down tomorrow and eat it while enjoying the lake, so cool! ]
Cheng Changgeng followed his thoughts and thought about it, but didn't quite understand what he meant by "Bingbing Water buys cold".
“Ahem.”
Since he wanted to give him a surprise, he would give him this face and see what he was up to.
So, he cleared his throat and pretended to speak casually: "Su Mian, I haven't been feeling well recently. Please accompany me for a walk outside after court tomorrow."
ah?
Su Mian was shocked at first, but then he reacted immediately and was overjoyed.
[System, oh system, you are so reliable. You helped me solve a big problem. I cannot repay you for your kindness. If I have the chance, I will repay you with my life! ]
Su Mian thought that the system was virtual and would definitely not give him this opportunity.
Cheng Changgeng laughed in his heart. He wanted to see how Su Mian would repay him in the future.
