Nian Huajiao: The cold-faced treacherous minister spoiled her unconditionally after breaking his vow

Yuanbao took the purse and said, "Master, whatever you say, I will definitely get it done."

Master Gao saved him, so he was willing to do anything. He was willing to learn what he didn't know, and he would do better if he knew it.

The senior manager touched his head and said, "I believe you. Go find more people and ask them who is the boss behind the gambling house. If you hear any related names, write them down and tell me. Find those who are tight-lipped. This money will be used as hush money."

Little Yuanbao chuckled twice and assured cheerfully, "Master Gao, don't worry." After that, he ran away.

An hour later, Yuanbao came back mysteriously. He rushed into the shop, picked up the herbal tea on the table, drank two gulps, and then took a deep breath.

He had no time to rest and was busy looking for Gao to take care of things. He panted and said, "Master Gao, I found out that the people who often come to the gambling house are the Jinyiwei and the Chu family."

The senior manager was stunned when he heard this.

Jinyiwei?

This is a tough guy. If he is not careful, it will offend the Jinyiwei. No, he has to go and inform the lady immediately.

Seeing that he was sweating profusely from running, the senior manager waved his hand lovingly at him and said, "Okay, I understand. You go and have a rest first. I have to go out for something. You take care of the shop for me."

"Okay, just go and get busy." Yuanbao said, and then he walked out in a proper manner.

When Gao Shi arrived at the Duke's Mansion, it was already the hour of Xu. The sun was about to set, and the temperature had dropped a lot compared to noon. Jiang Luo was bending over, watering the flowers and plants planted by Mother Wu in the yard.

The weather is hot, and the flowers and grass in the yard are all wilted.

Ren Dong was carrying two wooden buckets filled with water, walking towards Jiang Luo as steady as a rock. She put down the buckets and called out to Jiang Luo from behind, "Manager, why are you here again?"

Jiang Luo's heart moved when he heard this, and he quickly stood up and looked at the senior manager who was approaching with confusion.

She was a little surprised. Only two hours had passed, but the senior manager had returned. Could it be... could something big have happened in the shop?

The senior manager stopped in a hurry. He glanced at Ren Dong but didn't answer. He just wiped the sweat off his face with his sleeve and whispered to Jiang Luo who was looking at him, "Miss, something happened!"

Jiang Luo frowned slightly: "Uncle Gao, go inside and have a cup of cold tea to cool down." After saying that, he dropped the ladle in his hand and turned to walk into the house.

"Yes." The senior manager followed her closely.

After the door was closed, Jiang Luo asked, "Uncle Gao, what happened? Did Zhou Youwei hurt someone?"

The senior manager hurriedly shook his head and said, "No. I have already dealt with Zhou Youwei as you instructed. He has signed the document and taken the money."

"What happened?"

The senior manager replied anxiously, "Miss, the one who often came to the gambling house was actually involved in the Jinyiwei and the Chu family in the capital. Let's not talk about the Chu family for now, but we can't afford to offend the Jinyiwei alone!"

When Jiang Luo heard this, his slightly frowned brows immediately relaxed a lot.

She was not afraid of the Jinyiwei, didn't she have Lord Lu? At worst, she could just put aside her shame and go to Lord Lu and admit what she said that night.

Anyway, no matter what, she must trick Zhou Youwei.

Seeing that she didn't speak, the senior manager thought she was frightened and called out worriedly, "Miss, Miss..."

Jiang Luo came back to his senses, smiled and asked, "Is this Chu family the Chu family of the mother's family in the palace?"

The Chu family didn't have much power, nor did they have a century-old reputation. However, the birth mother of the unique eldest prince Fu Zhen in the palace, Concubine Hui, was named Chu Yi, the daughter of Minister Chu and his deceased first wife.

It was because of the eldest prince that the Chu family became a popular marriage candidate among the various mansions in the capital in recent years.

Manager Gao nodded: "That's right. The current Mrs. Chu of the Chu family is surnamed Qi, and seems to be related to the wife of the Marquis of Ningyang. This, this, this..." He rubbed his hands and looked at Jiang Luo anxiously.

Jiang Luo understood his worries, and knew that his worries were not unreasonable. If she wanted to trick Zhou Youwei, she had to collude with the gambling house.

Originally, she wanted to secretly use Lord Lu's reputation to bully others, then find the owner of the gambling house and negotiate with him with some benefits. This would allow her to work for the Jinyiwei and get money, so she was not afraid that the owner of the gambling house would be unhappy.

When the matter is done, she will take all the money back from Zhou Youwei.

Now it seems that it is impossible!

Jiang Luo thought for a moment and said, "Uncle Gao, don't worry. I have an acquaintance in the Jinyiwei. I'll go ask around and see who is the Jinyiwei standing behind this person who often comes to the gambling house. Go back and keep an eye on the shop. Keep pretending that you're not going to close it. As long as someone comes to buy something, just repeat what you said."

After hearing her words, the senior manager was very confused: "Miss, how do you know the people from the Jinyiwei? You..." After asking, he realized that he was a little presumptuous and quickly shut up.

Jiang Luo knew that he was concerned about him. After all, in the entire Yong Dynasty, the Jinyiwei's bad reputation was known to everyone, from half-buried old women to babies who had just learned to cry.

"Uncle Gao, don't worry, I'm fine. I just saved a guy on the road a few days ago, and I didn't expect that guy to be from the Royal Guards. I'm his benefactor after all, so it shouldn't be a problem for me to find out about him."

After hearing this, Director Gao finally felt relieved. He did not bother to find out whether what Jiang Luo said was true or not, as long as it did not endanger Jiang Luo's life.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead and muttered, "That's good, that's good..."

As soon as Director Gao left the Duke's Mansion, Rendong also quietly left the Mansion with Lu Jinan's Jinyiwei jade token...

Rendong ran all the way towards the Beizhenfusi Yamen, but she didn't notice that there was a person following her all the way!

When Ren Dong arrived at the gate of the Northern Pacification Office, he handed the jade token to the guard at the gate and said, "Big brother, I'm looking for Captain Xu. Please go and report to him."

The guard looked at the jade token carefully again and again, and confirmed that it was not fake. Then he smiled flatteringly and said, "Wait here for a moment. I will go and report to Lord Xu."

Ren Dong nodded, but muttered in her heart: Lord Xu? People in this government office actually call him like this? Lord Xu...tsk tsk tsk...

After a while, the guard came out trotting. Of course, Xu Yuan was also walking towards Jindong at a brisk pace.

Honeysuckle stood at the gatehouse, quietly watching Xu Yuan walking towards her. He had broad shoulders, a narrow waist and long legs, and was wearing a scarlet flying fish suit. His skin was a little dark, but his facial features were handsome and delicate, especially his sword-like eyebrows, which made him look heroic and upright.

The little maid's heart was beating non-stop...
