She got pregnant after the swap marriage, and the scumbag's family regretted it so much they cr

Qin Hui was completely relieved, but he couldn't think of a question for the moment, so he could only repeat the same approach: "When was the last time you wet the bed?"

Old Xu covered his face and mouth outside.

Lu Chenxin slurred, "Bedwetting? It must have been when I was fifteen. I had just been sold into a brokerage firm. I only got one coarse rice bun a day, so I kept drinking water and then I wet my pants. I even got beaten up by the broker."

Qin Hui felt a pang of sadness and looked at Lu Huan: "Miss, why don't you ask?"

Lu Huan now understood that Uncle Qin was just a soft-hearted person who relied entirely on other people's conscience and his own abilities to do business.

She understood that the talisman's effect was limited, and immediately asked, "Besides Uncle Qin, do you have any other masters?"

Lu Chenxin was taken aback at first, then began to shake his head violently. He shook himself too hard, and his body, which had just sat up, became unsteady, and he fell backward again.

Fortunately, Uncle Qin protected his head in time, otherwise he might have hit his head on the carriage seat and become the first person to knock himself silly.

"How could I! My employer rescued me from a living hell, helped me find my parents, and even found me a wife. If I were to betray my employer, wouldn't that be ungrateful? I would never do such a thing!"

Has anyone contacted you?

He frowned again, thought carefully for a moment, and nodded: "About five years ago, someone came to me. At that time, my son had just been born, and it was a happy time."

That guy used the excuse of coming to celebrate to make me do this! He's just asking for trouble! If my wife finds out, she'll definitely beat me up, so I just kicked him out.

Lu Huan looked at Uncle Qin and saw that he also looked surprised, probably hearing about such a thing for the first time.

"Didn't you even think about telling your employer?"

Lu Chenxin scoffed, "In our East and West Markets, who doesn't try to poach customers from others? It all depends on each person's abilities. I didn't see anything unusual about those brothers, so I didn't take it to heart."

If someone were to run to the employer at the slightest sign of trouble, the employer would be out of business.

Lu Huan asked Uncle Qin, "Is that really true?"

Qin Hui nodded: "That's right. I give my subordinates a lot of authority. They can handle small matters themselves, and only come to me if they can't handle them."

Although Uncle Qin spoke casually, Lu Huan was still somewhat concerned: "Do you know that person? Do you remember what he looks like? Does he have any distinctive features?"

Perhaps it was because a long time had passed, and Lu Chenxin encountered too many people every day, he thought for a short while before shouting, "I remember now! I don't remember much else, but that person was darker than us, not very tall, and his accent... I can't tell where his accent came from, but it was very different from the accents of the North."

"So they're from the south," Lu Huan immediately thought of Jinling, and said a sentence in the Jinling accent, then asked, "Is that the accent?"

"It's similar, but it also seems a bit different."

Having asked this many questions, Lu Huan gave him another drop of sleeping pills to knock him out.

"Uncle Qin, what are your thoughts?"

"It's hard to say. Although what he said is indeed possible, we shouldn't let it go so easily. When I get back, I will question each of my subordinates individually to see if they have encountered similar people."

Next, Lu Huan and Qin Hui both looked at the person lying to Lu Chenxin's left.

Jiang Mingjie's state upon waking was completely different from Lü Chenxin's. He first opened his eyes, a fleeting look of wariness in them, then surveyed his surroundings before finally smiling upon seeing Qin Hui.

"Master, why did I faint?"

However, his unusual behavior was too obvious, and both Qin Hui and Lu Huan noticed it.

They both asked in unison, "Who is your master?"

"Wu Ping."

This name was completely unfamiliar to Qin Hui and Lu Huan, and even the surname had no connection with the families they suspected.

Lu Huan spoke first: "What are the characteristics of this person? When did you start working for him?"

"It was about five years ago. He said he came from Jiujiang Prefecture and wanted to do business in the north. Later, he often spent money to find out about his employer. At first, he was just asking about our supply channels. I didn't think it was anything important, so I sold it to him."

Later, he even wanted to know who the boss associated with most of the time. I didn't want to say, but he actually threatened me... Boss! I really didn't mean it!

"Come on, you subconsciously think this person is your master, so what are you pretending for!" Lu Huan couldn't help but make a sarcastic remark.

Qin Hui felt bad for misjudging people, but he hardened his heart and continued the interrogation: "What does that person look like? Have you noticed who he associates with?"

"Wu Ping is short, dark-skinned, and thin, and his accent does sound like he's from that area. I had someone follow Wu Ping and discovered that he was in contact with the Huang family's steward. As for whether that steward was bribed like me, I don't know."

It seems that the person Lü Chenxin encountered was almost the same one.

Which Huang family?

Qin Hui explained to Lu Huan, "That day, Miss invited eleven families to come, and we were one of the last three to be selected. The Huang family also runs a general store business, but it's a bit larger than Tian Kai's."

This reminded Lu Huan that he had overlooked the Huang family.

"Uncle Qin, is there anything else you'd like to ask?"

Qin Hui shook his head, looking at Jiang Mingjie as if he were looking at a dead man.

Lu Huan knocked the man down again: "Uncle Qin, you can handle the man yourself. You can continue to investigate the Du and Chen families' businesses for me."

"Miss, can you tell me why you want to investigate the Du and Chen families?"

Lu Huan certainly couldn't tell Qin Hui that she wanted to collect interest, so she could only give another reason: "After the Cheng family fell, the Du and Chen families rose rapidly. I would never believe that they had no connection with the person behind the scenes."

If something is done, it will leave a trace. I don't believe they had absolutely no contact with the people behind the scenes.

"Just keep an eye on them, and you can find clues."

After that, we can take them all down at once. Even if we can't do anything to the person behind it in the short term, we can still make them lose some money.

"Understood!" This is actually what Qin Hui has been doing all these years. Now he's just sharing the information with Lu Huan.

After seeing Qin Hui off, Lu Huan took out two more baskets of fruit from his spatial storage: one basket of jujubes and one basket of winter dates.

Because the fruit was taken out for the Gao family to eat, Lu Huan didn't leave them any spiritual energy. She even absorbed some moisture, making the fruit look less plump and delicious than it did in the space.

Then there's the horse that Qin Hui left for Lu Huan.

Horses were for military use in this dynasty, and ordinary people were not allowed to keep them.

The reason Qin Hui delayed sending the horse to Lu Huan for several days was that he had tampered with it.
