A Clash of Gods

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

"Is Mr. Dou joking?" Gu Qinghan quickly kept calm. "Sir Dou is a book of Hube. As far as I know, your family's wealth is substantial, and it seems that it hasn't been enough for what needs to be done. It is clear that the person in charge is called Zhao Xin, and I do not know what it has to do with Prince Dou? "

Dou Lianzhong laughed: "It's true that Zhao Xin is here." He shouted back, "Brother Zhao, please come over."

Among the few people who came with Dou Lianzhong, one immediately came forward, dressed in very ordinary clothes, and the appearance was mediocre, belonging to the kind that was difficult to find in the pile of people.

"Xu shopkeeper, can you still remember me?" Zhao Xin came up and arched to Xu shopkeeper: "The last time there was labor care, Zhao was always remembered." His accent is not a Beijing accent, it seems to be a foreigner.

After all, the shopkeeper Xu is also a veteran who has been in the business field for many years. He lost his position before, but at the moment he saw Zhao Xin following Dou Lianzhong, and immediately realized what, a slight change of color, just a habit of many years, but still arched: Mr. Zhao. "

"It seems that the shopkeeper Xu has a good memory." Zhao Xin smiled: "Having been warmly received in Guipu half a month ago, it is still fresh in my memory."

Dou Lianzhong said: "The third lady, this is Zhao Xin, the owner of the ticket. He is from the Lanyang people of Jingnan. He has some distant relations with my Dou family. Qianfan used some silver in his hands, so he pawned something in your pawnshop. These pledges were in the hands. At that time, seven thousand two silvers were paid from your number. "

Gu Qinghan Bingxue is clever, has realized what, asked: "Mr. Zhao is ready to redeem?"

Zhao Xin said with a smile: "It's a living on the next day, and I said to the shopkeeper Xu that he would come to redeem it one month at the latest. Now that the matter is done, the money hasn't been used yet. These two days are preparing to return home. Before preparing to return home, I redeemed everything. Tonight, Mr. Dou hosted a banquet for me and happened to pass by. I heard that there was a fire here, so I came to see it. "

Dou Lianzhong sighed: "Mrs. San, it seems that your name can't come up with anything. Zhao Xin's current things were all uploaded by his ancestors. Now they are all burned down, and things are in trouble."

"Since it's a pawnshop, there is a redemption, of course." Gu Qinghan said: "Even if something is damaged and there is a ticket here, it will naturally be paid in accordance with the agreement on the ticket."

"Mrs. Three, this is to be paid, but it is not a small amount." Dou Lianzhong shook his head and sighed: "According to the above agreement, if all are burned down, at least fifteen thousand two silver will be paid, this ..., Of course, there are three thousand Jinyihou Shiyi, and this silver is nothing. "A glance at Yang Ning said," Since it's burnt down here, you are busy now, and we don't bother much. After dawn, we will visit again. ! "

Chief Qiu, who had been silent for a long time, finally said: "Duke Dou, Mr. Zhao, look, can you slow down for some time?"

"Slow down for a while?" Dou Lianzhong frowned. "What does this mean? Do you Houfu want to default on the payment?"

Director Qiu busy said: "No such intention, just ...!"

"I just think that Mr. Zhao hasn't played enough in Jingli." Yang Ning suddenly interrupted General Manager Qiu's words and laughed: "General Manager Qiu is also kind. If Mr. Zhao is really anxious to redeem, he will go to Jinyihou Mansion tomorrow , Repay all the debts owed. "

As soon as he spoke, President Qiu frowned, and Gu Qinghan also looked slightly surprised.

"Well, it's still a happy life." Dou Lianzhong seemed to smile, "That's it, tomorrow's visit will come." Staring at Gu Qinghan, he smiled and said: "Mrs. Three, we will see you tomorrow." Without saying much, leading Zhao The letter and others went away.

"Shizi, you are ...!" President Qiu wanted to speak, and saw that the owners were still whispering not far away.

Yang Ning said: "Chief General Qiu, you have to work hard tonight and take everyone to clean up here. After dawn, send someone to the Yamen Gate of Kyoto Prefecture to send someone to investigate."

"Survey?" Qiu General Manager stunned.

Yang Ning sneered: "You don't know, this is someone arson, always want someone to come over and investigate."

General Manager Qiu opened his mouth, and Gu Qinghan also said: "General Manager Qiu, follow the instructions of Shizi, and Tianliang immediately sent someone to investigate in Kyoto Prefecture." Looking at Duan Canghai, he said, "Canghai, you are here to help General Qiu Aftermath. "

Duan Canghai promised that Gu Qinghan was tired now, got into the carriage, and did not wait to put down the curtain, Yang Ning also rushed into the carriage, and immediately made him go home.

The horse-drawn carriage in Hou Fu was also spacious. The two sat opposite each other from left to right. The car was a bit dim, but Yang Ning's eyesight was excellent, but he could clearly see Gu Qinghan, and said softly: "San Niang, the matter is here, anxious. It ’s useless, you can only take one step at a time. "

Gu Qinghan smiled bitterly: "Since the death of the general, everything is not going well, and troubles are coming one after another. This fire is even more trouble tonight." Then asked: "Ninger, you just made Dou Lianzhong tomorrow When we go to Hou Mansion, we can't get so much money in our house at once. "

Yang Ning smiled: "San Niang, do you think things are weird?"

"what did you say?"

"Zhao Xin pawned seven thousand or two silvers in the pawnshop. Is this not a small sum?" Yang Ning stared at Gu Qinghan in the dim light. Gu Qinghan's eyes were like water, and his beautiful eyes flowed in the dark.

Gu Qinghan nodded and said, "Of course, seven thousand two silvers is not a small amount. I still remember the sale of Zhao Xin. At that time, the body of the general was being secretly transported back to the capital. Fuzhong did not know that the general had passed away, so the **** shop came. For this transaction, three thousand and two silvers were transferred from the government. "

Yang Ning was sharp-eyed and asked, "After the sale is completed, will the father's body be returned to the capital?"

Gu Qinghan sighed: "It was precisely that I regretted it at that time. I knew that the general had passed away to mourn, so this sale should not be done. But since the contract has already been signed, naturally I can't regret it."

Yang Ning sneered: "Seven thousand two silver is not a small amount. Zhao Xin rushed in before his father. When the fire just burned, he came to redeem it. Isn't that strange?"

"It's really weird," Gu Qinghan frowned. "And that Dou Lianzhong suddenly popped out, which is very abnormal."

Yang Ningwei pondered, and then said, "San Niang just said that after the death of his father, everything in the Hou Man's House was unsatisfactory. Does it mean that Jiangling's money could not be delivered in time, and then somehow caused a fire, and now Zhao Xin is redeemed?"

"Naturally, you were stabbed in the Zhongling Other Courtyard." Gu Qinghan said softly.

Yang Ning said softly: "San Niang, do you feel that these things are not happening independently, but are involved in each other?"

"Involved?" Gu Qinghan stunned, "Ning Er, why do you say that?"

Yang Ning said: "I feel like there is a black hand behind me, and I am ruthlessly handing over our Jinyi Hou Mansion."

"Black hand?"

Yang Ning leaned forward slightly, approached Gu Qinghan, and whispered: "After the fire goes out, I'll go in and check. Guess what I found?"

"what?"

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

Gu Qinghan's body shook, but actually reached out to hold Yang Ning's wrist, "Ning'er, can you see clearly? You mean, when Dangku found the oil?"

Yang Ning nodded and said: "I have examined it carefully, and there are not many oil marks. I found two or three places. I have smelled it carefully. If I guess correctly, that taste is the most flammable black oil. The fire is on. According to their statement, the fire spread very quickly after the library was burned at that time, but it was only swallowed by the fire for a moment. This should be black oil. "

Gu Qinghanliu frowned, but at this moment he calmed down, thought for a while, and then said: "So, this fire will be carefully designed by someone."

"I'm afraid that's the case." Yang Ning said: "And it may be related to Dou Lianzhong. Even if this person did not shoot, he must be involved."

"If it is really Dou Lianzhong who is doing ghosts behind their backs, they burned the pawnshop, is it for the compensation of more than 10,000 or two silver?" Gu Qinghan frowned: "I'm afraid it won't be so simple Dou Lianzhong ’s father, Dou Kui, is Hushu Shangshu? ”Yang Ning asked:“ Can this person have hatred against our Jinyihou Mansion? ”

Gu Qinghan nodded and said: "Dou Kui was promoted to Hubu Shangshu six years ago. In fact, he was only a servant of Hubu early in the early years, and he had some friendship with the general. When the general was out for battle, the money and food were all supplied by Huhu. It seemed that there were several times that he personally escorted the grain and grass to the front, so he had a good relationship with the general. He was later promoted to Hushu Shangshu, and the general seemed to speak to him in front of the Holy Lord. "

"In this way, my father has some favors for the Dou family?"

"Originally, the two were safe, but the general had suddenly made a compromise to the court the year before, and then Dou Kui was reprimanded by Sheng Shangtang, and he was fined for half a year. Zhezi joined Dou Kui. "Gu Qinghan said quietly:" Since then, the two families have settled some enmity, but Dou Kui respected the general in his face. "

"It turned out to be so." Yang Ning nodded thoughtfully. "In this way, the Dou family must be involved in this matter. This fire is not easy."

"But without evidence, we can't do anything to them." Gu Qinghan frowned: "Tomorrow Dou Lianzhong will inevitably lead Zhao Xindeng's house, don't say fifteen thousand two silver, that is five thousand two silver, we can't get it for a while come out."

Yang Ning smiled and said: "San Niang, don't worry, since Dou Lianzhong is involved in this matter, I will let him lift a stone and hit his feet." The expression looked cold and said coldly: "They want to fall into the rocks by any means, I Let ’s see who can laugh to the end. "

Gu Qinghan saw that Yang Ning was full of confidence, and she was somewhat happy, but more worried. She really didn't know how Yang Ning responded to Zhao Xin's compensation of more than 10,000 yuan.
