Rich Peasant Girl: The General's Wife Has Space

Since Zhao Mingyuan is a fourth-rank General Yunhui, the identity of his cousin Fu Mingxuan must be extraordinary.

Although he was dressed simply, the robe was not something that ordinary people could wear, not even a businessman like himself.

Is he the son of an official, or a member of a wealthy family?

Then why is it here?

At this time, Duan Hongyi had no idea about Fu Mingxuan, also known as Li Mingyue's true identity. He just felt that he came from a noble family and never thought of him as a prince.

Duan Hongyi followed Xiao Wan for a while, and seeing Xiao Wan's guards looking around vigilantly, he knew that they must have sensed that someone was following them. He had to stop regretfully and turn around to do his own thing.

At the inn, Xiao Wan and the others had already returned. As Zhang Liang approached the inn, he whispered to Xiao Wan, "County Lady, it seems the people following us have left. I'll go check around a bit. You can go back and rest first."

Xiao Wan no longer felt the gazes being directed at her. She frowned, not liking the feeling of being spied on. She nodded and told Zhang Liang to be careful, and the group went back.

For safety reasons, Zhang Liang asked Xiao Zhuzi and Xiao Nan to guard Xiao Wan's door for a while and wait for him to come back. Seeing Zhang Liang's serious expression, the two hurriedly agreed.

But Zhang Liang went out for a walk and didn't find anyone following him, so he had to return in disappointment.

Xiao Wan told him not to be depressed. Zhang Liang felt that he had failed in his duty. Xiao Wan smiled and comforted him, but Zhang Liang felt embarrassed instead.

They were more alert when on duty at night. Xiao Zhuzi and Xiao Nan also heard Zhang Liang mention that someone was following them today, so they took turns on duty with Zhang Liang at night and were very responsible.

That night, the moon was hidden in the clouds and could not come out. The world was silent, and only the faint voice of the night watchman "Be careful with the candles" could be heard in the distance.

Most of the people had turned off the lights and gone to bed, except for a few liquor stores that were open until late at night. The lights were still on in a few scattered tables of customers eating, drinking and chatting animatedly.

Duan Hongyi took Duan Qing and Duan Ze with him. The three of them put on night clothes and went out under the protection of the night.

The three men jumped over the roofs of the people's houses with light steps. Occasionally, there were cats nesting on the roofs, which were frightened by the three men and screamed loudly. The people sleeping in the house were so angry that they cursed and turned over to go back to sleep.

The three of them carefully came to a house with a luxurious exterior. There were two lanterns hanging at the door, but the light was not very bright. The words "Qu Mansion" were written on the plaque on the door. Under the cover of night, the three of them jumped over the wall from the side door of the house.

It just so happens that this is a garden with many trees and flowers planted in it, and no one would come to wander around in the garden at night.

The three of them jumped in smoothly, and with the help of several lanterns hanging under the corridor of the house, they carefully bypassed the two servants on patrol and ran to the backyard of the house.

Entering the backyard, Duan Hongyi made a gesture to Duan Qing and Duan Ze, and the three of them began to act.

The owner of the main courtyard seemed to have gone to bed long ago. Duan Qing carefully used the tip of his knife to pry open the door of the main courtyard owner's residence, and the three of them quietly entered.

With the help of a little light outside the house and a ray of moonlight coming in from the window, two figures could be vaguely seen lying on the bed, who seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep. Duan Hongyi curled the corners of his lips.

Those two people should be the head of the Qu family, Mr. Qu Hongsheng, and his wife without a doubt.

According to the countermeasures agreed upon in advance, Duan Hongyi went to the study in the bedroom to search for physical evidence, Duan Qing waited for his order, ready to kill Qu Hongsheng and his wife who were sleeping in the bed at any time, and Duan Ze stayed in the house to guard against any sudden accidents.

The two men nodded in agreement, and Duan Hongyi turned around and went to the study to look for it.

What he was looking for were the letters he had exchanged with Qu Hongsheng, which had his own private seal on them, as well as the account books of the financial support the Qu family had given to the Fifth Prince and the Yilan Kingdom over the past year.

Most importantly, in order to gain the trust of these wealthy businessmen from all over the country, the Fifth Prince secretly made many tokens with his own seal, and promised these wealthy businessmen that he would promote them after he ascended the throne.

After the Zhang family's affair was exposed, Duan Hongyi was only able to take away part of the evidence. The whereabouts of the other evidence, account books, private seals and other things were unknown.

But after the Zhang family was searched and confiscated, no one reported the Fifth Prince. It seemed that the Zhang family was only convicted of treason and collaborating with the enemy. However, Duan Hongyi was still worried and dared not let go.

Duan Hongyi was very scared because the key evidence related to him was still missing, especially the letter with his private seal.
