Liu Guangsheng sighed secretly in his heart. If it weren't for the sake of his family, would he worry about such nonsense?
He didn't even remember how much kindness he had done for him.
Since he is his uncle, he is a bit thin-faced, so he cannot say certain things too explicitly, so he can only point them out as much as possible.
But this uncle of his, I don’t know if he is really stupid or pretending to be stupid.
Liu Guangsheng said: "Okay, this is not the place to talk. Let's go back first."
Mo Shaoyan nodded repeatedly, "Yes, go back first."
After saying that, Mo Shaoyan turned around and walked into the store first. After taking two steps, he realized that Liu Guangsheng had not followed.
Mo Shaoyan turned to look at Liu Guangsheng and asked, "What's wrong? Guangsheng is this?"
Liu Guangsheng stood facing Mo Shaoyan at first and did not notice a carriage parked by the yard.
The coachman was leaning against the carriage, holding a piece of grass in his mouth and crossing his legs, looking leisurely.
This person is none other than Yuan San.
Mo Shaoyan's words interrupted Liu Guangsheng's thoughts. Liu Guangsheng took a deep look at Yuan San, hesitated, and then stepped up to follow Mo Shaoyan, "Let's go, it's nothing."
Ning Wei's heart was in her throat and she held her breath and did not dare to move.
Hu Rui noticed that Liu Guangsheng and Mo Shaoyan were gone, so he said softly: "Okay, they are gone."
Ning Wei patted her chest, "It scared me to death. This person is very cautious."
Hu Rui nodded and said, "Yes, if Mo hadn't called him to stop him, he might have walked over."
Hu Rui said to Yuan San: "Let's go back."
At Huixian Tower, Liu Guangsheng entered the store. The further he walked, the more he felt something was wrong. He said to the attendant behind him, Changfu, "Go and see the carriage at the door. Whose family is it?"
Changfu received the order, took two steps back, turned around and walked out quickly.
Liu Guangsheng walked towards the private room.
Mo Shaoyan caught up and asked: "Guangsheng, what's wrong? Which car has a problem?"
Liu Guangsheng looked around and whispered, "Keep your voice down! The car parked in the yard just now was a bit suspicious."
Mo Shaoyan paused, stunned, and asked nervously: "Suspicious? Who could it be? No way, we decided to come here on the spur of the moment and didn't tell anyone in advance. How could anyone follow us?"
A few days ago, Mo Shaoyan became famous and said that someone was investigating the previous case again, so he panicked and asked his brother-in-law for help.
After Liu Guangsheng knew the whole story, he complained to Mo Shaoyan.
However, seeing that Mo Shaoyan was his wife's elder brother, he shamelessly went to Liu Jinrui to ask for help.
After hearing this, Liu Jinrui decided to come to Jingzhao Mansion to check the files first. By coincidence, the Lu family came to Jingzhao Mansion to play drums and redress their grievances today.
The Lu family was dissatisfied with the last trial and requested a new trial of the case.
Mo Shaoyan was the chief trial officer in the last case. To avoid suspicion, he could not attend this trial.
So, Mo Shaoyan took Liu Jinrui and Liu Guangsheng to hide in a side hall and listened to the trial of the case through the door and window.
Since it was time to eat, we decided to go to Huixianlou for dinner.
Liu Guangsheng frowned and said, "There is another possibility. The other party has already made people keep an eye on the eldest brother."
After hearing Liu Guangsheng's words, Mo Shaoyan's heart sank and he begged, "Guangsheng, you must help big brother. You know, big brother's journey has been extremely difficult.
Alas, if I had known this was the case, I shouldn't have agreed to Ning Guangyan in the first place.
He clearly said that the Lu family are just outsiders who come to Beijing to do small business. They have been commoners for eight generations. They have no foundation in the capital and will never be able to make a fortune, so I agreed."
Mo Shaoyan has always regarded Liu Guangsheng as a family member. When speaking in front of him, he never needs to cover up. He just says whatever is on his mind.
Liu Guangsheng looked at Mo Shaoyan who was chattering endlessly and asked: "Ning Guangyan? Which Ning Guangyan? That Ning Guangyan from the Ministry of Industry?"
"It's not him or who it is? It's Ning Guangyan, a member of the Ministry of Industry. He was the one who introduced me to Wan Zhentian.
Wan Zhenzai told me that he had found out clearly that the Lu family were just hawkers who came to the capital to do small business and had no foundation in the capital.
Ning Guangyan gave me a guarantee, so I agreed." Mo Shaoyan complained.
Liu Guangsheng asked: "Eldest brother is very familiar with Ning Yuanwailang? I have never heard you mention him before."
Mo Shaoyan said: "Fortunately, Ning Guangyan and I are of the same age. We don't go around much. We will contact each other privately when something happens. Of course, in order to avoid suspicion, our meetings are extremely secretive."
Liu Guangsheng frowned and asked in confusion: "To avoid suspicion? To avoid suspicion? Since the eldest brother and Ning Yuanwai Lang are of the same age, isn't it normal to meet each other? Why should we avoid suspicion?"
When asked by Liu Guangsheng, Mo Shaoyan was a little annoyed that he spoke too quickly and stammered: "What, they are in different government offices..."
Seeing Mo Shaoyan's eyes dodge, Liu Guangsheng knew something in his heart. He said bluntly: "Eldest brother and Ning Yuanwailang have done many things together that cannot be told to outsiders?"
Liu Guangsheng stressed that he could not talk to outsiders.
Mo Shaoyan wanted to deny it, but when he saw Liu Guangsheng staring at him closely, he opened his mouth, but could not say anything to deny it.
Liu Guangsheng said: "Brother, you'd better think about it before talking. Otherwise, I may not be able to help you with this matter today."
Seeing Liu Guangsheng's serious look, Mo Shaoyan did not dare to hide anything anymore. He let out a sigh and said, "What about that? Ning Guangyan's wife, Zhao, has many businesses under her name. Some businesses require government accommodation. I just have this power."
, I just gave you some convenience."
Liu Guangsheng suddenly thought of something and asked: "Is this Yiyuan Drug Store also an industry under the name of the Zhao family?"
Mo Shaoyan nodded.
Liu Guang was so angry that he raised his finger and pointed at Mo Shaoyan. Before he could speak, there was a knock on the door.
Liu Guangsheng put down his hand and raised his voice: "Come in."
Changfu came back and reported: "Sir, the carriage just left has left.
I asked the waiter, and he said that the car had been parked there for more than a quarter of an hour.
The younger one had just left before going down, and the second one said that he saw the car heading east of the city."
It stopped there a quarter of an hour ago. Didn't that mean the car was parked there before Mr. San left?
Liu Guangsheng had a bad feeling in his heart and asked: "Do you know whose family got the car? Who was sitting in the car? When did this person get on the car?"
Changfu leaned forward and said, "This car is very ordinary. I can't tell whose family it belongs to.
The waiter said that there seemed to be two young gentlemen sitting in the car, and they were always in the car."
People have been in the car, Liu Sanye left with the front foot, and the car followed with the rear foot...
Liu Guangsheng said hurriedly: "Let someone catch up and take a look. Find out who owns the car? Who is the person in the car? The more detailed the better."
Changfu bowed and responded: "Yes, I understand, little one."
After Changfu stepped back, Liu Guangsheng pointed at Mo Shaoyan and said with hatred: "Brother, what do you want me to say about you?"
Mo Shaoyan said: "Guang Sheng, let me tell you, I don't want this either.
But Ning Guangyan and I are of the same age after all, so I can’t lose face if he asks for my name.”
Liu Guangsheng glared at Mo Shaoyan and said, "Why didn't you mention these things to Third Master just now?"
Mo Shaoyan lowered his head and took a sip of tea, hiding his guilty conscience, "What, I think it's better to do less than to do more."
Liu Guangsheng stood up and walked out while saying, "I'm going to be killed by you."
Seeing Liu Guangsheng about to leave, Mo Shaoyan quickly stood up and stopped him, "Guangsheng, we are a family. For Shaomin's sake, you can't ignore your eldest brother.
It’s been really hard for me these past few years. I have been ups and downs in the officialdom for more than 20 years before I can achieve this little result..."
Liu Guang was extremely angry. He tried hard to suppress the anger in his heart and said patiently: "I am begging Third Master for you. Do I not care about you?"
Mo Shaoyan smiled compensatingly and said, "I know, Guangsheng, you are a good person.
You have helped me a lot over the years, otherwise I would not be where I am today.
I will remember everything you have done for me and our family. Guang..."
Liu Guangsheng interrupted him impatiently: "You, do you know who the third master is?
The third master is a person trained by the Prime Minister's Mansion in the name of the head of the family. I won't tell you what kind of mansion Liu Xiang's Mansion is, but you are clear in your heart, right?"
Mo Shaoyan nodded hurriedly: "I know, of course I know. Prime Minister Liu's Mansion is a first-class mansion in Daliang. With the imperial concubine and two princes on his back, it is even more prominent than some princely mansions."
Liu Guangsheng said angrily: "You all know that, so why are you hiding it in front of the third master? Why don't you tell the truth!
Do you think that the Third Master is a person who only listens to others and believes in others? If you just say something and only follow the Third Master’s lead, the Third Master will use you?
Let me tell you, if the third master wants to use someone, he will have him thoroughly investigated, including what the three generations of your ancestors did.
Then, the third master will see if you are qualified and only he can use you.
You said that you wanted something from the third master, but you dared to hide it from the third master. You are so cowardly! I have been harmed by you today."
After hearing Liu Guangsheng's words, Mo Shaoyan was really panicked and asked anxiously: "What should I do? I didn't know that the third master was so young and acted so carefully.
It's all my fault! Guangsheng, if you think of something, think of something quickly. Let's see if there is any remedy, okay?"
Mo Shaoyan was really panicked now and kept urging Liu Guangsheng to think of something.
Liu Guangsheng glared at Mo Shaoyan and said: "I will go find the third master first and explain the reason to him. We will talk about other things in detail later.
If the third master calls you to talk again, you must tell the third master everything you know, and you must not hide anything anymore, do you understand?"
Mo Shaoyan nodded repeatedly, "Okay! I understand. You go quickly. Thank you for your hard work."
Liu Guangsheng came out of the private room, walked quickly downstairs, and met Changfu who was coming back in a hurry at the door of the lobby.
When Changfu saw Liu Guangsheng coming out, he hurriedly leaned forward and said, "Sir, I chased the car all the way but didn't catch up with the car."
Liu Guangsheng cursed a piece of trash, and then said: "Prepare a car and go to Prime Minister Liu's Mansion."
Changfu hurriedly turned around to give his instructions.
After Liu Guangsheng got in the car, he was worried that Liu Jinrui had not returned to the prime minister's house, so he told Changfu: "Let someone go and find out where the third master is at this time."
Changfu received the order, raised the curtain, and conveyed Liu Guangsheng's instructions to his followers.
On the other side, Yuan San drove east. Just as he reached a fork in the road, Hu Rui ordered: "Yuan San makes a U-turn and goes to Sajin Street."
Ning Wei asked in confusion: "Sir, do you have something to do at Sajin Street?"
Hu Rui shook his head, "Nothing, just going over there to avoid the pursuers."
Ning Wei looked back subconsciously, "Will Mo Shaoyan's people catch up?"
Hu Rui said: "Mo Shaoyan may not have thought of this. Deputy Commander Liu has some brains. The way he acted just now clearly made him suspicious of us, so we have to be careful."
Yuan San turned the car around, from Sajin Street to Suijin Street, making a big circle, and finally sent Ning Wei and Hu Rui back to Sanpinxuan on Qili Street.
After getting off the bus, Hu Rui threw another silver coin to Yuan San.
Yuan San accepted it with a smile, bowed to the two of them and thanked them.
Ning Wei and Hu Rui returned to the private room and changed their makeup.
Ning Wei opened the window and looked across the way. She saw a seal on the door of Yiyuan Pharmacy. It seemed that the shop was closed.
Hu Rui came over to take a look, and said with a smile: "The shop is closed, that's good, miss. Let's go back home and watch the fun!"
Thinking of Mrs. Zhao's anxious look, Ning Wei was in a good mood, "Okay! Let's go! Go back and cook something delicious to celebrate tonight."
As soon as Ning Wei finished speaking, there was a knock on the door.
The two looked at each other and Ning Wei said: "Please come in!"
The door opened and Shi Jingyang stepped in.
Ning Wei was startled for a moment, and then he greeted him. Hu Rui stepped forward to greet him, and then stepped out knowingly.
After Shi Jingyang returned the gift, he said: "After receiving Qiao Shi's letter, I will wait for you here. Did you two meet Liu Jinrui at Huixian Tower?"
Ning Wei nodded, "Yes, I met Liu Jinrui, as well as Mo Shaoyan and Liu Guangsheng."
Shi Jingyang said: "Liu Guangsheng worked under Liu Jinrui, and Mo Shaoyan turned to Liu Jinrui for help, which was within my expectation.
Ah Wei, don't worry, I already have a countermeasure. Even if Liu Xiangfu intervenes in this matter, Huang Hengyuan will not be able to escape the blame. Yiyuan Drug Store's selling of counterfeit medicines will not be wiped out. Even if the drug store can be saved, it will be severely punished for this.
Punishment.”
Knowing that Liu Xiangfu would intervene in this matter, Ning Wei immediately felt anxious and asked worriedly: "Will this matter bring trouble to the prince?
What, the noble concubine is favored, and King Chen and King Yan are very good at pleasing the emperor..."
When mentioning this matter, Shi Jingyang suddenly thought of something, pointed to the table by the window, and said, "Let's sit down and talk."
Ning Wei followed her words and walked to the window and sat down.
Shi Jingyang sat down opposite Ning Wei and was about to speak when there was a knock on the door.
Shi Jingyang turned his head to look at the door and said loudly: "Come in."
After Shi Jingyang finished speaking, Qingshan opened the door and came in, holding a tray with tea and fruit snacks on it.
Qingshan entered the room and said with a smile: "Master, I will bring you some tea."
Shi Jingyang nodded, and when Qingshan approached, Shi Jingyang reached out and brought the snacks on the tray to Ning Wei.
Qingshan looked at Shi Jingyang's skillful techniques and thought to himself, who said his eldest son was an iceman?
The person who said this just didn't see the warm-hearted look of his eldest son...
When Shi Jingyang saw that the things on the tray were all put away, Qingshan was still hunched over in a daze, he looked sideways at Qingshan and said softly.
Qingshan came back to his senses and said with an apologetic smile: "Sir, Miss Ning, let's talk slowly. I'll take my leave!"
At first, Ning Wei didn't realize that there was anything wrong with him. After seeing the meaningful smile on Qingshan's face, Ning Wei realized that it was against etiquette for him and Shi Jingyang to be in the same room together.
