Chapter 381 His fear has another reason
Biaozi was a little nervous.
Did something go wrong in what he did?
As soon as Yuan Qing saw his reaction, she knew that this matter was related to him, but she did not intend to expose it immediately. Instead, she wanted to further explore his purpose.
If he is being used by someone, you can still continue to employ him. After all, his skills are good and he has a good reputation among the neighbors. It is possible to cooperate with him in the future.
If it was intentional, we can also find out who did it.
Biaozi walked up the stairs slowly. The higher he went, the more panicked he became, especially when he saw the big hole on the ground on the third floor. His legs were shaking.
Before he got close, he fell to his knees with a thud.
Yuan Qing was startled, "Biaozi, what are you doing?"
"Boss Yue, I know you are a magnanimous person," Biaozi knelt forward a little, almost kneeling down to kowtow, "I have a big family to support, I don't want this salary, can you please give me a way out for my honesty and hard work?"
These big bosses who have made a name for themselves in Beijing all have powerful backers, and common people like them cannot afford to offend them.
They can leave these poor people with nowhere to go just by opening their mouths.
"Hurry up and get up. I don't mean to blame you." Yuan Qing helped him up helplessly. "I called you up here just to show you how to repair it. After all, you have the best skills among these people."
Biaozi couldn't believe it and quickly got up from the ground, "Really?"
"Do I have to lie to you? If I really blame you, I should kick you out of here by now."
Biaozi's face was full of regret, "Boss Yue, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have changed the paint without consulting you."
paint?
Yuan Qing was puzzled. "I don't understand the knowledge here as well as you do, so I gave it to you to choose. After you chose it, I also looked at it and there was no problem. Then why did you change it later?"
Biaozi rubbed his fingers nervously, "That's because I later found a better one, but it was a little more expensive, so I told Miss Jiang about it, and I changed it after she agreed."
Yuan Qing continued to ask: "Then why did you let me stay here these two days?"
"You guys all look like you come from wealthy families. You've never done this kind of rough work, let alone come into contact with these things." Biaozi stretched out his deformed fingers. "These things are poisonous. We come into contact with them often, but we don't think there's anything wrong with them. But it's different for you. I was the first one to clean the third floor. The poison there has almost dissipated a long time ago..."
He said this and lowered his head silently.
Yuan Qing smiled and nodded, "Thank you for thinking about us. Now that everything has been made clear, you can just do your job with peace of mind. I'll hand over the third floor to you. Please check carefully for me and see if there is anything wrong. You are an expert in this area, and I will listen to you."
"Yeah!" Biaozi responded loudly, "Boss Yue, rest assured, I will complete the work within the deadline!"
Jiang Shu came in from the small door in the backyard and looked at Biaozi's running away in confusion.
"Why, what happened?"
As soon as she reached the third floor, she saw the dark crack behind Yuan Qing.
"This……"
"It's okay, it's all solved." Yuan Qing pulled her to the backyard, "Did you know that Biaozi changed the paint?"
"Yes, I went to see it myself and confirmed it before I used it with confidence."
"Where is that store?"
"Let me think about it." Jiang Shu walked to the stove and started scooping water. "It's the one near the city gate. Although it's a bit far, the goods there are really good."
Yuan Qing took out the ingredients from the house and asked, "Are the samples you tested still there?"
"Yes, it's in the corner behind the house."
Yuan Qing nodded and pushed her away from the stove. "I'll do it today. You go check if there's any difference between the paint you used before and after. Come back and eat after you've cleaned it up."
Jiang Shu was surprised. "I've known you for such a long time, and I didn't know you could cook?"
"I have both money and people, so why should I do it myself?" Yuan Qing raised an eyebrow, "Why don't you go now?"
As soon as Jiang Shu left, a man in black appeared beside Yuan Qing.
"Master, we have found out that the store often has dealings with the manager of Fulai Inn."
Yuan Qing paused.
We got the news so quickly. Dad's people are really efficient.
The man in black continued to report: "Fulai Inn once had close contact with the Xie family. The person behind it could not be found. The Prime Minister guessed that he should not be in the capital."
The Xie family is not in the capital...
Putting these small clues together, she soon thought of someone.
And Princess Yong.
She is the daughter-in-law of the Xie family and a member of the royal family. As a link, she is a more suitable candidate.
Even though she and Xie Zhilang appear to be on good terms with each other but are actually at odds with each other, they share common interests.
It is indeed a bit far-fetched to link this incident with Princess He Yong, and for the time being we can only regard it as a covert means of competition among peers.
Yuan Qing simply cooked some home-cooked meals and called several people from upstairs down.
Jiang Shu came back after his investigation and went to the table as soon as he smelled the food.
Yuan Qing used chopsticks to knock away her restless hand, "Have you washed your hands?"
Jiang Shu covered his hands and wailed, "I washed it, washed it several times, and it's still your fault. When it was time for dinner, you called me out to investigate something? Really, you treat me like this after you came back..."
She complained a lot in dissatisfaction.
Yuan Qing stuffed the bowl and chopsticks into her hands, "Okay, food can't stop you from talking. I think you really should meet Xiaojiu. You two will definitely become good sisters who can talk about anything."
When two foodies get together, they will definitely have a lot of common topics.
Jiang Shu smiled and said, "Speaking of this, I haven't met her yet."
"She's gone back, so I can't see her for now. I'll make arrangements when I have the chance." Yuan Qing winked, "He's here."
Jiang Qisheng looked much better, and his steps were not so unsteady when he walked.
He had never eaten at the same table with a strange woman before. Looking at the two pairs of eyes staring at him, he almost dropped his bowl and chopsticks and found an excuse to escape.
After he sat down, Gong Chan came out of the kitchen and placed the sword on the table.
The tip of the sword rushed towards Jiang Qisheng, scaring him so much that he paused his chopsticks.
Yuan Qing and Jiang Shu looked at each other, lowered their heads silently, and pursed their cheeks.
What Yuan Qing was thinking in his heart was that the next time he saw Lu Zhao, he would definitely talk to him about this matter.
It seems... there has been no news of Lu Zhao for a long time.
"Your cooking skills are pretty good." Jiang Shu kept stuffing rice into his mouth, his mouth was already bulging. "Of course, compared to mine, it's still a little bit worse."
Her eating manners were very ungentlemanly, which attracted Jiang Qisheng to look at her frequently.
Jiang Shu didn't care at all and continued to do as he pleased.
Perhaps feeling that he was being a little impolite, Jiang Qisheng quickly looked away.
Yuan Qing gave Jiang Shu another spoonful.
She saw the shock in Jiang Qisheng's eyes just now, but what he didn't understand was that Jiang Shu had been wandering outside and had been hungry for several days in a row. Sometimes, when she was extremely hungry, she would eat grass and soil, and peel tree bark to chew raw.
Even though she has no shortage of food now, she still has to fill her stomach; this has become her instinct.
After all, Jiang Qisheng was a young master of an aristocratic family who was raised in a deep mansion. He had never experienced real suffering, so naturally he could not understand Jiang Shu's behavior at this moment.
She suddenly remembered what Wen Chengyu had once said to her.
He said that the people in this capital city had been living in comfort for too long and had no idea of the changes the world was going through.
Of course, he is one of them.
The higher you stand, the easier it is to forget where you were born. Going against public opinion, such a dynasty will not last long.
Therefore, his most urgent wish was to have someone who could truly go out and live among the people and listen to their voices.
He once thought that his uncle was such a person, but later he found out that he was not.
Looking around, there was no one in the court, whether civil or military, who could shoulder this important task.
She didn't answer him at the time and could only respond with silence.
My father is busy running around for political affairs, but he is not wholeheartedly serving the people, he also has his own selfish motives.
The word "saint" is easy to write but difficult to do.
Yuan Qing could sense the anxiety in Wen Chengyu's heart, so he was busy with government affairs day and night, spending his limited time fighting for it.
At first, she just thought that Wen Chengyu was so anxious because he was afraid that his life was coming to an end and no one would take over his affairs.
Later she found out that it didn't seem to be the case.
His fear had other reasons.
