The Salty Little Cannon Fodder Was Targeted By the Prince

Chapter 47 Looks beautiful and thinks beautiful too

 Du Wan is a little upset.

After listening, Pei Hao said coldly: "If you want me to help you, I want that Zhuangzi."

Hearing this, Du Wan's eyes widened, "Not only do you look beautiful, you also think beautifully!"

Pei Hao's face darkened, "What did you say?"

Du Wan simply said: "Impossible!"

"Then it's impossible to give you the results I found." Pei Hao glanced at her with contempt.

Du Wan just felt angry.

 But I can only hold it in!

 Wrong! Is there a clue?

Du Wan was surprised, "Have you found it?"

"There is a result, but why should I tell you?" Pei Hao said expressionlessly.

Du Wan lost his temper, "Prince Pei, there's no need to do this. Aren't you just pretending to be sick when I see through it? I won't talk nonsense outside."

　　　…” Sure enough, she saw through it!

Pei Hao's mentality almost collapsed for a moment.

Is it possible that such a stupid little girl can see through his disguise? Is it possible? !

 Fortunately, he stabilized himself a second before collapse.

Du Wan stood up on the chair and approached the bed with a smile on his face, "Prince Pei, what did you find? Tell me. Don't worry, I promise not to say anything about you pretending to be sick."

"I won't tell you, so you will tell me about pretending to be sick?" Pei Hao reacted immediately.

Du Wan shook her little head repeatedly, "No, no, no. Am I the kind of person with no character? If I promise not to tell, I won't tell you. Don't worry, I won't threaten you with this."

"Ah!"

 Damn girl!

 Do you think that if you say this, he will be embarrassed not to say it?

 It’s a beautiful idea, but I won’t let you get what you want!

Pei Hao was being petty again. The more she wanted to know, he refused to tell her.

 Next, Du Wan used all his 18 martial arts skills, but still could not coax the investigation results out of Pei Hao.

Pei Hao's mentality has long since stabilized, and he has become indifferent and distant again.

The nobility and elegance cultivated by the children of aristocratic families since childhood are revealed unconsciously. Every move, including the way he holds tea and raises his hands, has an indescribable elegance.

Du Wan simply broke the jar and said, "Okay, Zhuangzi can't give it to you. You can make another request."

Pei Hao said: "Okay, you answer me a question truthfully, and I will tell you the results of the investigation."

 “Wait, what’s the problem?”

 “It’s a question you can answer.”

 “There must be a range.”

 “It has something to do with you, but it doesn’t have much to do with it.”

 “That’s it, that’s fine.”

Du Wan didn’t think deeply for a moment and fell into a trap.

Pei Hao immediately asked seriously: "Who is the person behind the iron mine?"

“…” Du Wan wanted to slap him in the face, so she decisively lied, “I don’t know.”

Pei Hao didn’t believe it, “You know.”

"I really do not know!"

 “You must know.”

 “You are not me, how can you be sure that I know?” Du Wan retorted with a bad expression.

Pei Hao felt inexplicably better when he saw her angry, "Let me remind you first, the key to transactions is integrity. If you are not sincere, don't blame me for my lack of sincerity."

Du Wan glanced sideways, "Did you really find out the person behind the rumors about me?" "It's not like we found out the source, we just found an important clue." Pei Hao was pragmatic.

There is no need for him to lie about this matter.

Du Wan's little face no longer looked as relaxed and comfortable as before. The villain was really powerful, and he still doubted her after so long.

 Now she is eager to find out the truth and does not want to delay it for too long.

 It is not impossible to use this information for exchange.

In order to avoid further trouble, Du Wan said in advance: "Okay. Let me make it clear first that I can tell you who it is. But you can't ask me how I know it. Anyway, if you ask, I won't tell you."

"Can."

Pei Hao happily agreed.

 He was afraid of the little girl and retreated when the situation was bad.

Du Wan looked around and saw that they were the only two people in the room, so he whispered: "It's Xie Zhang."

Pei Hao stood up suddenly.

 It’s surprising!

Du Wan was so frightened that she jumped back, then quietly moved back.

Pei Hao calmed down, stared at Du Wan and asked, "Seriously?"

 “That’s absolutely true.” Du Wan nodded decisively.

Pei Hao stared at the little girl for a long time and found no trace of lying, so he finally believed her words.

At the same time, he was also surprised by the boldness of the Xie family, who actually dared to mine iron ore privately.

 This is equivalent to rebellion!

 It is a serious crime to destroy the nine tribes, and the relationship is too great...

Pei Hao and Du Wan had different ideas.

Du Wan only thought of Xie Zhang, while Pei Hao first thought of the Xie family of Dingbei Marquis Mansion.

Now that the secret has been revealed, Du Wan stopped worrying and sat back on the chair, her little feet dangling.

"What are you thinking about? You just know that you have to be prepared in the future. If you want to use this to do something to the other party, don't even think about it. If you can't find any evidence, don't waste your efforts." Du Wan Just another friendly reminder.

Pei Hao didn't hesitate, walked to the desk where he occasionally worked, took out a secret letter from the secret compartment, and handed it to Du Wan, "The answer you want is right here, take it and read it yourself. "

 “Thank you.” Du Wan took it and opened it.

 A confidential letter explaining the process and results of the investigation.

She skipped the investigation and turned to the back to see the results. The suspect was Qian, a slave of the Huang family in Tongzi Street, Xicheng.

 Qian is the concubine of the deceased.

 The deceased had contact with more than 20 people before he was silenced. After eliminating them one by one, Qian was the most suspicious. The reason why Qian is suspicious is because someone saw her meeting the deceased the day before the rumors started.

On the day the deceased was killed, Qian took leave due to illness and did not go on errands. It was said that she stayed at home to recuperate, but no one saw whether she was really at home.

Du Wan murmured, "Xicheng, Tongzi Street..."

Pei Hao heard her murmuring and did not interrupt her contemplation.

Seeing that she was so absorbed in thinking that she didn't come back to her senses for a long time, Pei Hao reminded: "This is just a clue. I sent someone to confirm it. That day Qian left Huang's house and said she was going to the drug store to buy medicine. Huang's house is far away from the drug store. It only takes a quarter and a half to walk, but Qian insisted on walking for an hour and a half. The extra time is enough to do a lot of things."

 “Huang family?” Du Wan looked at Pei Hao blankly.

Pei Hao knew that she was not looking at him, but that she was distracted again.

Du Wan is really thinking about something.

She recalled the contents of the book. In the book, there was an imperial merchant named Huang, who was the money bag that Xie Zhang secretly supported.

Xie Zhang's mind is indeed rare in the world, and his calculations are traceless. He asked the Huang family to have a big backer on the surface and completely separate themselves from the Xie family. And the background of this great backer is even more terrifying than that of the Xie family.

 So, until the Qin Dynasty was in chaos, no one knew that the real master of the Huang family was Xie Zhang.

As for who the main backer of the Huang family is, the book only mentions it briefly and never mentions it.
