Jiang Dejia didn't know what Wen Qingzhu was thinking, but she didn't say much, turned around, got in the car and left.
After Jiang Dejia left, Wen Qingzhu took a deep breath and restrained his impulse.
Ever since Jiang Dejia said she could keep the gold medal, Wen Qingzhu couldn't help but want to keep it.
It's so tempting!
With this imperial gold medal, Wen Qingzhu might be able to save his life at a critical moment.
But soon, Wen Qingzhu also understood that this was the bait released by Jiang Yue.
If she really stayed, I'm afraid she really only had one chance to save her life.
Now that the plague issue was resolved, Wen Qingzhu began to wholeheartedly search for the Qingguo who made Li Du unable to control himself.
What I never expected was that even though the plague had been resolved, there was still no news about Qing Guan.
Early that morning, Ning Ping Xiu Mu went to Wen Qingzhu's home in person.
The first thing he said when he saw her was: "Ms. Wen, are you mistaken? I have checked all the files with conditions, even if there is a stepmother in the family, regardless of whether there is a brother or father, I have checked it. I didn’t find the person who agreed with what you said!”
Wen Qingzhu was also very surprised. What was the problem
After hesitating for a moment, Wen Qingzhu said again: "Otherwise, I'd better disguise myself and go to the Yamen with you."
Ning Ping was a man who abided by the rules. When he couldn't find her for almost a month, at Wen Qingzhu's repeated request, he agreed to take Wen Qingzhu, who was disguised, to the Yamen to search for the household registration files in person.
Although he was frightened last time, Wen Qingzhu's disguise skills were really superb, and the boy who imitated him actually came alive without being noticed at all.
"This, isn't this not good?" Ning Ping felt as if his scalp was going to explode.
If it weren't for the fact that Wen Qingzhu had saved the people in Beijing and Luo City, and that his mother and brother hadn't praised him very much, he would never have broken the rules and taken Wen Qingzhu to check out the information.
Wen Qingzhu persuaded me again: "Last time I faced the prefect, I stayed calm despite the danger. Do you think something will happen to me?"
"Nothing happened, but you, a girl, go to a place like that..." Ning Ping's eyelids had been twitching recently, always feeling that something bad would happen.
"Brother Ning, I've already called you Brother Ning, can you help me just this once, the last time?" Wen Qingzhu prayed again.
…
You said it to me, but Ning Ping finally couldn't resist and agreed to Wen Qingzhu.
That night, Ning Ping found that his eyelids were twitching even more.
Wen Qingzhu began to prepare everything that needed to be prepared.
Now she was very sure that Li Du seemed to be plotting something in Luo City.
Although Jiang Yue sent him to Youzhou, he did not determine the specific time.
Over in Youzhou, the news from Fu Lie has always been normal.
But the calmer it became, the more uneasy Wen Qingzhu felt, feeling that Prince Ning must be waiting for an opportunity.
The next day, Wen Qingzhu disguised himself as Ning Ping's servant again and followed him to the Yamen.
Ning Ping was nervous as he walked in and greeted his colleagues.
On the contrary, Wen Qingzhu supported his hand several times and asked him to be careful of the threshold.
Arriving at the archives office of household registration management, Ning Ping handed over his sign and went in again with Wen Qingzhu.
Wen Qingzhu relaxed the conditions again and began to search intently.
In addition to looking for the Qinghuan, Wen Qingzhu calmly looked through the household registration changes in Luocheng.
There is no distinction between high and low in the household registration files here.
From morning to night, until sunset, Wen Qingzhu almost understood the main forces in Luo City, but the Qingguo still had no clues.
An oil lamp had been lit in front of Wen Qingzhu, and his eyes were a little dry and astringent.
She couldn't help but pinch her eyebrows and closed her eyes.
Ning Ping, who was on the opposite side, glanced in the direction of the door and asked in a low voice: "How about we leave? How about I search for you one by one in the future?"
Wen Qingzhu shook his head. There were more than 400,000 people in Luo City.
Although it is one-third less than the capital, there is no need to screen them one by one.
At this moment, the voice of Ning Ping's colleague came from outside: "Master Ning, we brothers are invited to go to Hongyue Tower today. Do you want to go with us?"
Hearing this, Ning Ping's expression suddenly changed and he firmly refused: "No, no, you just go."
The voice outside was still persuading: "I just went over to have a drink and watch the beauties dance. I'm not asking you to do anything. My sister-in-law won't say anything. Besides, it's not your first time there."
Ning Ping finally couldn't sit still anymore, got up and went out to explain to his colleagues outside.
Wen Qingzhu, who was sitting in the room, didn't understand where Hongyue Tower was at first, but when she understood it, an idea suddenly came to her head.
During this time in Ningping, Wen Qingzhu heard him say that many people in Luo City had lost their lives due to the plague.
Many families were destitute. Wen Qingzhu remembered clearly that the poor man's original family was sold by his stepmother because her brother was sick and had no money to see a doctor.
Thinking of this, Wen Qingzhu began to pack his things.
While eating today, I vaguely heard Ningping's colleagues talking about the situation in Hongyue Tower, saying that there were many new people coming.
Just after packing her things, Ning Ping came back. Seeing her getting up and leaving, he asked in surprise: "Have you decided to investigate slowly in the future?"
Wen Qingzhu smiled and said, "I know where she is. I'll go to Hongyue Tower with you tonight and I'll pay for it."
Ning Ping suddenly opened his eyes wide.
Half an hour later, the moon was rising above the willow branches.
Luo City has swept away the bad luck caused by the plague, and Hongyue Tower has become particularly lively.
Wen Qingzhu took Ning Ping to ask for a private room, which made Ning Ping feel a little more at ease.
Just now he said seriously that he would never come to this place again.
In the blink of an eye, he came over, even though he didn't want to.
After being led to a private room on the second floor by Mr. Gui, Wen Qingzhu took a look and felt that the view was not good, so he took out ten taels of gold from his sleeve and pointed to the middle position: "We want that room."
Mr. Turtle has never seen such a heroic guest, and the price is still gold.
He took the gold tremblingly and turned to find the madam here.
In less than a quarter of an hour, a woman with heavy makeup came over, twisting her fat waist.
"Oh, the slave family is here. Who is this distinguished guest?"
The moment he saw Ning Ping, the madam was stunned: "Isn't this Master Ning?"
Ning Ping came here twice. Because their colleagues revealed their identities, the madam knew that Ning Ping was working in the Yamen, so he naturally remembered it deeply.
Ning Ping felt that his whole brain was buzzing, and he didn't reply.
On the contrary, Wen Qingzhu took a step forward and made an excuse quite familiarly: "Please ask mother to take the young master over. Today the young master has to entertain a distinguished guest. The distinguished guest has not come yet, so the position must be the best, money and so on." It’s not a problem.”
Seeing Wen Qingzhu bring out another ingot of gold, the Madam's face immediately lit up with joy, and she led them over diligently.
After sitting down in the private room with the best location, Wen Qingzhu stood behind Ning Ping and asked with a smile: "Are there any stunning beauties or innocent ones?"
Seeing Wen Qingzhu ask this, the old bustard looked at Yinzi's face, and immediately turned around and ordered: "Come here, go and invite the latest few Qinghuan."
Coming this way, Ning Ping's outlook on life was completely refreshed.
The gold that Wen Qingzhu brought out one after another, and the tone of her saying that she was looking for a stunningly beautiful man, made Ning Ping wonder if the person who came was Wen Qingzhu.
In less than a quarter of an hour, three girls wearing veils appeared in front of them.
Wen Qingzhu looked at it intently, and the madam understood and asked them to lift the veil.
neither!
There was no one he was looking for, so Wen Qingzhu waved his hand and asked the madam to lead everyone out.
The madam's heart skipped a beat, she couldn't bear to sleep.
Thinking of the gold ahead, the madam felt that the person Ning Ping invited must be a noble person, otherwise he would not be so desperate to throw away money.
Since Ning Ping remained sullen and silent, the Madam asked Wen Qingzhu: "This little brother, what special preferences does that noble person have?"
Wen Qingzhu turned to look at the madam, a little doubtful in his heart, had the brothel not been sold yet
However, she was not one to give up easily, so she said, "If there are any young men over the age of fourteen or under the age of sixteen, it doesn't matter if they are not trained or taught well at the moment."
The madam was a little surprised: "Is there only an age requirement?"
Wen Qingzhu thought for a moment. At this time, even if the Qingguo was here, he must be sallow and thin, and he couldn't be seen anywhere.
So she nodded, but added: "There is another condition. It is best to be a local in Luo City, and someone who has lived in Luo City for at least five years counts."
The madam thought about it for a moment and realized that she had taken in a lot of girls like this recently. She responded and went out to personally select those who agreed to the terms.
After the outsiders left, Ning Ping breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Wen Qingzhu and said, "Are you really sure she is here?"
Wen Qingzhu sat down, feeling a little tired: "I'm not sure, but this person is very important."
He is someone who can seriously injure the vitality of Jingyuan Hou Mansion. In this way, Prince Ning's power will naturally be weakened.
Fu Lie is away at war, and when he returns with success in the future, he will face off against King Ning sooner or later.
In this case, it is better to remove Prince Ning's minions as soon as possible.
This time, more than two-quarters of an hour passed before the madam came with nine girls.
From the moment the first person came in, Wen Qingzhu discovered that they had been temporarily put on makeup and put on new clothes that didn't fit them.
Two, three, four...
Wen Qingzhu kept waiting. When the ninth girl appeared in front of her, she stood up suddenly.
"That's her!"
The madam was surprised and turned to look at the girl at the end.
Wearing a goose-yellow spring shirt, it was randomly thrown to her by the girl she was serving.
She didn't even apply makeup on her face. She was sallow and thin, and her back was slightly arched. She didn't look like a beauty.
The madam was a little skeptical, but she still followed Wen Qingzhu's request and kept only the girl she designated here.
The rest of the people retreated, and the girl came to them tremblingly and was about to kneel down.
Wen Qingzhu frowned, her bones were correct, beauty was in the bones, not in the skin.
It's just that her face, figure, and manners are completely different from what she remembers.
But it would be nice to find her, at least I know she has potential.
"Tell me, how much money does she have?"
Such straightforward words made the madam stunned. She looked at the girl for a long time, unsure whether to pay attention.
It only cost ten taels of silver to buy this girl.
At that time, the plague was rampant, and her brother had to sell her because he had no money for medical treatment.
The madam considered it in her mind and said a number: "How about five hundred taels?"
"Deal! Here are five hundred taels of silver notes!" Wen Qingzhu took out a stack of silver notes and allocated five hundred taels.
