Chapter 113 Gold
Chapter 113 Gold
Well, Shen Qiu didn’t find any clues in the latter two places. He asked people who came here frequently, and they all said that the woman suspected to be Yuping came alone.
However, Shen Qiu did not forget where Fuquan Building was near.
That's the Zhenbei General's Mansion! Madam's mother's home!
If the master finds out about this, will he really suspect the lady? Even if the master trusts the lady, it does not mean that he trusts her family.
If he hadn't confirmed that the mistress usually didn't go out, he would have thought that the mistress had done it.
After stirring up trouble between the master and the mistress, she can then bring her child into the Prime Minister's residence!
Shen Qiu thought about going home, took out the hat and clothes that Dong Zhu gave him, wrapped himself tightly, and before going out he made sure to check if there was anyone around before he dared to go out.
He dodged people all the way and finally arrived at the door of the bookstore.
After stealthily fixing his hat and making sure that nothing distinctive was revealed, Shen Qiu firmly knocked on the closed door of the bookstore.
"Boom boom boom!"
"Who is it? We are closed. Come back tomorrow if you want to buy poetry books!"
"Boom boom boom!"
The bookstore owner pushed open the door in annoyance, "What are you doing? Why are you buying books so late at night?!"
As a result, when the boss looked up, he was almost scared to death. The familiar attire and the familiar silence made the man look so familiar. He quickly pulled the man in and slammed the door.
"Dear guest, why did you come just now? Do you know how long I have been waiting?"
"Ever since so many people have put a bounty on you, I've been worried to death. I can't sleep well at night!" The boss muttered in a low voice.
Shen Qiu just nodded without making a sound.
The boss's eyes flashed with a dark light, and he asked casually: "Dear guest, why are you taller than last time? I remember it should be a woman last time, and you are a man!"
Shen Qiu raised his eyes sharply and looked at the bookstore owner, still without saying a word. He just sat on the chair, dipped his hand in the tea, and slowly wrote the word "money" on the table.
The boss looked at this familiar method and smiled instantly, "I knew that the distinguished guest was not someone else pretending to be him. There are too many people offering a bounty outside, so I just gave him a little test."
"You finally come to get the money. You have no idea how nervous I am to have so much money in this small shop."
Shen Qiu glanced at the boss with a slightly speechless look. Why was the boss talking so much? He was still waiting to go home and sleep!
The bookstore owner trotted back to his room, and laboriously moved a large box out from under the bed. After finally moving it in front of Shen Qiu, he gasped for breath.
"Dear guest, please take a look!" The bookstore owner was almost out of breath.
Shen Qiu couldn't help but have a bad feeling when he saw how tired the bookstore owner was.
He focused his attention on the big box and the obvious marks on the ground left by the boss' dragging.
No way……
Shen Qiu opened the box with trembling hands, and what came into his sight was a golden light that almost blinded his eyes.
A box full of gold!
"I exchanged those copper coins for silver before, but you never came. I couldn't put them away after saving them for so long, so I had to exchange them for gold."
Shen Qiu covered his heart. He would never be able to earn so much money in his entire life!
No, even if he continued to work for a hundred years after his death, he wouldn’t be able to earn that much!
Shen Qiu nodded stiffly, took a deep breath, and lifted the box up with one effort, his face flushed red.
This box not only looks heavy, it is also very heavy to carry!
The bookstore owner looked at Shen Qiu's back with regret as he stumbled further and further away. What a pity! If the distinguished customer had not come, he would have been able to keep the huge sum of gold for himself.
But since the distinguished guest had come to ask for it, he had to give it to him. To be able to keep the reward going for so many days without being discovered, the distinguished guest might be a wealthy family that he couldn't afford to offend.
Shen Qiu had to stop and rest every few steps. After finally carrying the load home, he took off his hat. He almost couldn't breathe!
So, how do I give this to the lady?
Shen Qiu looked at the heavy box in distress. He could sneak into the Prime Minister's Mansion by himself, but he would definitely be discovered if he took this box with him.
Forget it, let’s not think about it for now. He has been running around all day and needs to rest. He will ask about it when he reports to the lady tomorrow.
Everything was calm on Mu Tangxi's side. Except for going to the study to attend classes in the morning, his eldest brother stayed in the yard all the time.
Mu Tangxi guessed that his elder brother might ask the assassins he kept outside to find out the handwriting on the envelope and who Yuping had contacted.
According to my father's desire for control, he should have placed spies around my eldest brother, so I wonder if my father already knows about my eldest brother's actions?
As for my second and third brothers, they have been studying hard these days.
Mu Tangxi felt that if this continued, his second and third brothers might surpass his eldest brother.
If the eldest brother is still immersed in finding the mastermind behind the incident.
Mu Tangxi didn't have much hope of finding that person, after all, his father couldn't find him either.
So, that person has more power than the father?
The only ones with more power than the prime minister are the emperor and the prince.
Mu Tangxi had already vaguely guessed that her father must have been dragged into the battlefield fought over by the princes.
So is it the eldest prince or the second prince?
Or is it His Majesty?
Anyway, it couldn't be the Third Prince. Mu Tangxi felt that he was stupid just by looking at him.
It's not the same as being stupid in the usual sense. It's the kind of stupidity that she has in temperament, just like her cousin.
He has no ambition for the throne like the eldest and second princes, and just wants to live a peaceful life.
Mu Tangxi knew that the Third Prince must have some abilities to have grown up this big, but he just seemed to want to be a happy prince.
Mu Tangxi couldn’t understand why there were people in the world who had no desire to control power?
Forget it. Judging from Shen Qiu's luck, even if he can't find the person, he will bring back some other information.
She is not in a hurry, she can wait.
Once she is strong enough, even if she cannot find out who her enemy is, at worst she will kill all the suspects!
Anyway, the eldest prince and the second prince have their hands dirty, and as for the emperor, it's a bit difficult.
Mu Tangxi lowered her eyes and drank tea. She still had plenty of time to spend with them.
Dong Zhu rushed over from outside at this time, "Miss, the Zhenbei General's Mansion sent a wedding invitation, saying that the wedding banquet will be held on the second day of next month!"
Mu Tangxi nodded slightly, but when she looked up, she saw Dong Zhu's expression was very subtle.
"What happened to Dongzhu?"
Dong Zhu had no idea how many strange things he had encountered, but this one was as strange as anything he had seen before.
"Miss, Miss Li's name is also written on the wedding invitation of the Zhenbei General's Mansion. It seems that Miss An and Miss Li will enter the mansion on the same day."
A slight surprise appeared on Mu Tangxi's face. Could this be the request of the general's wife? !
Isn't this the face of our An family?
