As soon as Dou Lianzhong said this, not only Gu Qinghan, but Yang Ning's face also changed slightly.

"Is Mr. Dou joking?" Gu Qinghan quickly remained calm, "Mr. Dou is the Minister of Revenue. As far as I know, the family of your family is wealthy and seems to be not as good as you need to be something. And this is clearly written on the ticket. The person who acts as something is called Zhao Xin. I wonder what it has to do with Mr. Dou?"

Dou Lianzhong smiled and said, "I'm sure I'm going to hide it from you, Zhao Xin is here." He turned around and shouted, "Brother Zhao, please come here."

Among the few people who followed Dou Lianzhong, one of them immediately came up. They were dressed very ordinary and looked ordinary, and they were the kind that was difficult to find in the crowd.

"Shopkeeper Xu, do you still remember me?" Zhao Xin came up and bowed to Shopkeeper Xu and said, "I have always remembered it in my heart for me when I was in charge of you last time." His accent was not the accent of the capital, but seemed to be a foreigner.

After all, Manager Xu is also a veteran who has been in the business world for many years. He has lost his temper before, but when he saw Zhao Xin following Dou Lianzhong, he immediately realized something and changed color slightly. It was just a habit of many years, but he still bowed: "It turned out to be Mr. Zhao."

"It seems that Manager Xu has a good memory." Zhao Xin smiled and said, "I was warmly received in your shop half a month ago, but I still remember it freshly."

Dou Lianzhong said: "Three Lady, this is Zhao Xin, the owner of the ticket. He is from Jingnan, and he has some distant relatives with my Dou family. In the previous episode, because he urgently used silver liang in his hand, he made some things in your pawn shop. All of these tickets were in hand. At that time, he paid 7,000 taels of silver from the expensive one."

Gu Qinghan Bingxue was smart and realized something, and asked, "Mr. Zhao is preparing to redeem it?"

Zhao Xin smiled and said, "I am working on this day. I told Manager Xu that I will come to redeem the work in one month at the latest. Now that the matter has been completed, the money has not been used yet. I am preparing to return home these two days and I am also preparing to redeem everything before returning home. Tonight, Mr. Dou held a banquet for me to see me off. I happened to pass by. I heard that a fire broke out here, so I came here to take a look."

Dou Lianzhong sighed: "Three Lady, it seems that the precious account may not be able to take out anything. Zhao Xin's current things are all passed down by his ancestors. Now they are burned down, so things will be in trouble."

"Since it's a pawn shop, it's natural to have redeemed." Gu Qinghan said: "Even if things are damaged and there are tickets here, they will naturally pay as much as possible according to the agreement on the ticket."

"Three Lady, this is not a small amount of compensation." Dou Lianzhong shook his head and sighed: "According to the above agreement, if all of them are burned, at least 15,000 taels of silver will be paid. This... Of course, the Jinyi Hou's fief of three thousand is naturally nothing." He glanced at Yang Ning and said: "Since you are burning here, you are busy now, so we won't bother you much. We will come to visit after dawn!"

Mr. Qiu, who had not said anything, finally said: "Mr. Dou, Mr. Zhao, see, can you wait for a while?"

"Slow down for a while?" Dou Lianzhong frowned and said, "What does this mean? Does your Marquis' Mansion want to default on the compensation?"

Manager Qiu hurriedly said, "There is no such intention, it's just...!"

"I just feel that Mr. Zhao hasn't had enough fun in Beijing." Yang Ning suddenly interrupted General Manager Qiu and smiled: "General Manager Qiu has a good intention. If Mr. Zhao is really in a hurry to redeem it, then go to the Jinyi Marquis' Mansion tomorrow and repay all the compensation owed."

As soon as he said that, General Manager Qiu frowned immediately, and Gu Qinghan also looked slightly surprised.

"Okay, it's better for the prince." Dou Lianzhong smiled and said, "Even if that's the case, I will visit you tomorrow." He stared at Gu Qinghan and bowed and smiled, "Three Madam, let's see you tomorrow." Without saying much, he led Zhao Xin and others away.

"Criminal, you are...!" Mr. Qiu wanted to speak, but he saw that the bosses were still whispering not far away, and did not say it.

Yang Ning said: "Mr. Qiu, thank you for your hard work tonight and take everyone to clean up here. After dawn, I will send someone to the Kyoto Prefecture Office and ask Kyoto Prefecture to send someone to investigate."

"Investigation?" President Qiu was stunned.

Yang Ning sneered: "Did you not know that someone is setting fires, and he always wants someone to come and investigate."

General Qiu opened his mouth, and Gu Qinghan also said, "General Qiu, do as the prince said, and immediately send someone to Kyoto Prefecture to investigate." He looked at Duan Canghai and said, "Canghai, you are here to help General Qiu deal with the aftermath."

Duan Canghai agreed, Gu Qinghan was exhausted at this time and got on the carriage. Before she could put down the curtain, Yang Ning also rushed into the carriage and immediately sent him back to the house.

The carriage in the Hou Mansion was also spacious, and the two of them sat opposite each other, and the car was quite dim. However, Yang Ning had a very good eye, but he could still see Gu Qinghan clearly and said softly: "Sanniang, things have come to this point, and it is useless to be anxious. He can only take one step at a time."

Gu Qinghan smiled bitterly and said, "Since the general passed away, everything went wrong, and troubles came one after another. This fire tonight is even more troublesome." Then he asked, "Ning'er, you asked Dou Lianzhong to go to the Marquis' Mansion tomorrow. Our mansion couldn't bring out so much money at once."

Yang Ning smiled and said, "Sanniang, do you think things are weird?"

"What are you talking about?"

"Zhao Xin worked in the pawnshop for 7,000 taels of silver. Is this a considerable amount?" Yang Ning stared at Gu Qinghan in the dark. Gu Qinghan's eyes were like water, and his beautiful eyes could be seen flowing in the dark.

Gu Qinghan nodded and said, "Seven thousand taels of silver are of course not a small amount. I also remember this deal from Zhao Xin clearly that the general's body was secretly transported back to the capital. The mansion did not know that the general had passed away, and the pawnshop happened to have this deal, and for this reason, three thousand taels of silver were transferred from the mansion."

Yang Ning's eyes were sharp and asked, "After this transaction is completed, will his father's body be returned to the capital?"

Gu Qinghan sighed: "That's right, I regretted it at that time. If I had known that the general had passed away, I would not have done this transaction. But since the contract had been signed, I naturally could not regret it."

Yang Ning sneered: "Seven thousand taels of silver are not a small amount. Zhao Xin rushed to join the corps before his father. As soon as the fire started, he came to redeem it. Isn't this strange?"

"It's really strange." Gu Qinghan frowned and said, "And that Dou Lianzhong suddenly jumped out, which was very abnormal."

Yang Ning pondered for a moment before saying, "Sanniang just said that after her father passed away, everything went wrong in the Marquis's house. Did she say that the silver from Jiangling could not be delivered in time, and then a fire broke out inexplicably, and now Zhao Xin is redeemed?"

"Of course, you are still stabbed in Zhongling Villa." Gu Qinghan said softly.

Yang Ning whispered: "Sanniang, do you feel that these things do not happen independently, but are involved in each other?"

"Implicit?" Gu Qinghan was stunned, "Ning'er, why did you say that?"

Yang Ning said: "I feel like there is a black hand behind me, who is taking ruthless measures against our Jinyi Marquis' Mansion."

"Black Hand?"

Yang Ning leaned forward slightly, leaned closer to Gu Qinghan, and whispered: "After the fire is extinguished, I'll go in and check it out. Guess what I found?"

"What?"

"In the burned warehouse, there seemed to be oil on the ground." Yang Ning said softly.

Gu Qinghan's delicate body shook and she actually reached out to hold Yang Ning's wrist, "Ning'er, have you seen it clearly? Are you saying that when the warehouse found the oil trace?"

Yang Ning nodded and said, "I checked carefully. There were not many oil traces. I found two or three places. I smelled it carefully. If I was not wrong, it was the most flammable black oil. This oil happened to the fire. According to them, when the warehouse started to burn, the fire spread very quickly. In just a moment, the warehouse was engulfed by the fire. This should be all caused by the black oil."

Gu Qinghan frowned, but calmed down at this moment. After thinking about it, she said: "In this way, this fire must have been carefully designed by someone."

"I'm afraid that's it." Yang Ning said: "And it's very likely that it has something to do with Dou Lianzhong. Even if this person doesn't take action, he must be involved."

"If Dou Lianzhong was really making trouble behind the scenes and they burned the pawnshop, was it just for the compensation of more than 10,000 taels of silver?" Gu Qinghan frowned and said, "It may not be so simple."

"Sanniang, Dou Lianzhong's father Dou Kui is the Minister of Revenue?" Yang Ning asked, "Does this person have a grudge against our Jinyi Marquis' Mansion?"

Gu Qinghan nodded and said, "Dou Kui was promoted to the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue six years ago. In fact, in the early years, when he was just a minister of the Ministry of Revenue, he had some friendship with the general. When the general was fighting outside, the money and grain were supplied by the Ministry of Revenue at the back. Dou Kui seemed to have personally escorted the grain and grass to the front line several times, so he had a good relationship with the general. Later, he was promoted to the Minister of Revenue, and the general seemed to have spoken to him in front of the saint."

"In this way, my father still has some kindness to the Dou family?"

"Originally, the two families were in peace, but the general suddenly posted a memorial to the court two years ago. Dou Kui was scolded by the emperor and fined his salary for half a year. It was said that because the food and grass were several days late, the general was upright and submitted a memorial to Dou Kui." Gu Qinghan said quietly: "Since then, even though the two families have formed some grudges, Dou Kui respects the general in terms of face."

"So that's it." Yang Ning nodded thoughtfully, "In this way, the Dou family must be involved in this matter. This fire is not simple."

"But without any evidence, we can't do anything to them." Gu Qinghan frowned and said, "Tomorrow, Dou Lianzhong will definitely lead Zhao Xindeng Mansion. Not to mention 15,000 taels of silver, even 5,000 taels of silver, we can't take it out for the time being."

Yang Ning smiled and said, "Sanniang, don't worry. Since Dou Lianzhong is involved in this matter, I will let him shoot himself in the foot." His expression became cold and he said coldly: "They want to use any means to put down the wrong person, but I want to see who can laugh to the end."
