The Reborn Wife is Farming

When Qi Haoran went down to court, he blocked the commander of the Wucheng soldiers and horses, and asked him how the investigation was going. In his opinion, wasn't this a trivial matter that the subordinates wanted to get up?

If the steward was really wronged, he would just let him go, and the little workers would slap dozens of boards on them and drive them out. How could it take so long?

Who knew that the commander said with a serious face: "My lord, I'm afraid that the identity of the second bai is different."

Bai Er Er is a worker in their bookstore.

Qi Haoran's face turned cold, and he asked, "What abnormalities have you found?"

"Bai Lao is over 30 years old, but has no wife, no children, no father and no mother. He sold himself into the bookstore in the first year of Taikang. The prince knows that the princess is kind and rarely signs death contracts with the workers. He is the only one who signed the death contract with the Wangfu. It is said that he should be more important, but he has been a handyman in the bookstore for five or six years. This time he reported the bribery case. mind."

Qi Haoran looked at him indifferently, didn't everyone guess the purpose early on?

The commander said indifferently: "At that time, the lower official asked the steward of your mansion too much, since he is a dead contract, why not reuse him?"

This is an unwritten rule. The servants who signed the death contract and the servants who signed the living contract should be more trusted and reused. Even if they are not capable, they will be used first. Jiu is still the lowest worker, and he is a little curious.

"The steward of your mansion said that the concubine made a rule early in the morning. No matter whether the contract is dead or alive, all the workers in the bookstore are the same. They are promoted according to their ability and attendance. The attendance of the second child is enough. The steward also mentioned it for personal gain before. He, but he really has no talent in the printing process, so he can only do odd jobs in the bookstore for five or six years," the leader said: "But when he applied for the job, he said that he had worked in the bookstore, and he asked for the signature. Unfortunately, because the officials want to investigate him, they know that his financial situation is not bad. Although he lives poorly and poorly, his food and drink are better than ordinary small rich families, and this has been the case for five or six years. , it can be seen that he is not poor, but with his wages, it is definitely not enough to support him."

Moreover, if a man has money to eat and drink, shouldn't he find a way to save money to marry a daughter-in-law and have a child to carry on the family line?

He is over 30 years old, has no wife and no children, but he is not in a hurry, and on the surface he appears to be as poor as everyone else, but in private, he lives affluently. Simple.

But the other party was tortured for three days, but there was no flaw in his confession, so he said that the other party's identity was different.

Qi Haoran's face was gloomy and cold, and said: "Then increase the punishment."

"Don't worry, my lord, I will give you an explanation." This was also his chance to show his face in front of the emperor.

The commander intensified the interrogation when he returned, but he still didn't ask anything. He didn't expect the other party's mouth to be so hard, and his lips were bubbling with anxiety.

Qi Haoran was also thinking hard, he didn't have the habit of sending spies to other people's families, but it didn't mean that other people's families didn't have this habit, especially those aristocratic families, even the palace had their spies.

But the people in his palace didn't meet the regulations at all. Most of the people he used were servants who had served the two brothers in Beidi before. It was difficult for the elder brother to be brought into the palace, so they basically followed him, and he was the only guard. The confidantes in the army, they are all high-ranking officials, they are trustworthy, it is not easy for those people to sneak into his house, so they put people in the bookstore?

But why put it in the bookstore?

You must know that the bookstore is a business, and A Ling is almost entirely handed over to the manager, and there are few people between the bookstore and the palace. It is said that the farm is their best choice.

Because Ah Ling attaches the most importance to farming, not only does he often go to the farm, but sometimes he also chooses playmates for the children from the village. It is easier to sneak into the mansion, and the farm is easier.

Or, there are actually people from them in the farm?

It's just a coincidence that the second child of the bookstore was discovered.

Thinking that his wife and children might be in danger, Qi Haoran couldn't sit still in the Forbidden Army, and immediately put away the official documents to Fei Bai, saying: "Bring the things back to the mansion, I'll deal with them when I go back."

He ran to the cell in a hurry, and the people from Wucheng Bingmasi were still interrogating Bai's second child. He was completely broken, but he still didn't say who sent him.

Qi Haoran's face was ugly, he was silent for a while, and asked: "Do you have family members in the other party's hands?"

Bai Er Er lowered his eyes and said nothing, Qi Haoran walked around him twice, staring into his eyes and asked abruptly: "Did Qin Fang ask you to come?"

Bai Laoer's heart jumped violently, and his eyelashes trembled. Although it was slight, Qi Haoran caught the other's instant nervousness.

Qi Haoran laughed out of breath, "Qin Fang thinks highly of this king, it's a coincidence that your little master happens to be in this king's hands, do you want your master and servant to reunite to catch up on the old days?"

Bai Er couldn't help but clenched his fists, Qi Haoran turned around and left, saying: "Send this person to the Imperial Army Yamen, the Imperial Army has taken over this case, and let the officer be released with a 20-year-old punishment."

The commander came in a hurry and heard this order. He was about to speak when he saw his confidant shook his head slightly at him, swallowed the words immediately, and after sending Qi Haoran away, he turned around and asked, "What's going on? Aren't we investigating the case, why did King Rong suddenly intervene?"

Although Rongjun Wang also intervened before, he did not intervene in the investigation. Why did he change his mind after not seeing each other for a long time?

"This man is the person left by the traitor Qin from the previous dynasty," the confidant said in a low voice, "The prince said that the son of the traitor Qin is in his hands, let them get together as master and servant."

The commander stopped talking immediately. If it involved the previous court, it would be almost the same as plotting treason, and it was indeed not his place to intervene.

How could treacherous prime minister Qin arrange people into King Rongjun's place?

"No, Bai Er Er entered the bookstore in the first year of Taikang, and Qin Jianxiang had already died at that time." The commander thought thoughtfully, "He made arrangements before he died? How many people did he keep? , these people have been dead for so many years and still obey his orders."

This is also what Qi Haoran wants to know, how many people Qin Fang left behind, and how did he control them? They have been dead for five or six years, and the previous dynasty has been turned into ashes, but they can still order those people to serve him.

Qi Haoran went to interrogate Qin Er, but Qin Er didn't know what to ask.

Qi Haoran, who had always believed in him, didn't believe it anymore, and asked, "You don't know, could it be that these people were dispatched by Qin San? Your father can't leave people to be dispatched by his subordinates, right? Then what is he planning?"

Second Lord Qin also wanted to know what his father was drawing. His father had a year to tell them where the treasure was hidden, but he kept silent.

But until now, everyone felt that the two brothers must know the location of the hidden treasure. It was all the hidden silver in the national treasury and the accumulation of his father's half life.

Money touches people's hearts, but the two brothers took the risk in vain, but they really don't know where the treasure is hidden. If they don't know their father for sure, only he and Qin San are still alive. An illegitimate child.
