A Clash of Gods Chapter 69: Black hand

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

"Are Dougong kidding and joking?" Gu Qinghan quickly kept calm, "Master Dou is a bureaucrat of Hube, as far as I know, your family's wealth is so substantial that it seems that it hasn't gotten enough to be a thing. The ticket clearly stated that the person in charge was Zhao Xin, and I do not know what to do with Prince Dou?"

Dou Lianzhong laughed: "It's true not to hide, Zhao Xin is here." Turned back and said: "Brother Zhao, please come over."

Among the few people who came with Dou Lianzhong, one of them immediately came forward. The clothes were very ordinary, and the appearance was mediocre. They belonged to the kind that was difficult to be found in the crowd.

"Xu shopkeeper, can you still remember me?" Zhao Xin came up and said 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 Outsider.

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, the color changed slightly. It was just a habit of many years, but he still handed over: "It turned out to be Mr. Zhao."

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

Dou Lianzhong said: "Mrs. San, this is the owner of the ticket, Zhao Xin. He is from the Lanyang people of Jingnan. He has some distant relatives with my Dou family. Qianfan was in your pawnshop because he used silver in his hands. Some things, these tickets are in the hands, at that time, seven thousand two silvers were paid from your number."

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

Zhao Xin smiled and said: "The next day is alive and well, and I also said to the shopkeeper Xu that he would come to redeem it at the latest one month. Now that things are done, the money has not been used yet, and these two days are preparing to return The township is also preparing to redeem everything before returning home. 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 specially."

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 can be troublesome. Now."

"Since it is a **** shop, there is a place for redemption, of course." Gu Qinghan said: "Even if something is damaged, there is a ticket here, it will naturally be paid in accordance with the agreement on the pawn."

"Mrs. Madam, 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 15,000 two silver will be paid, this... .. Of course, there are three thousand Jinyihou food towns, this silver is of course nothing." A glance at Yang Ning said, "Since it's burnt down here, you are busy now, we don't bother too much, after dawn, we Visit again!"

Chief General Qiu, who has been silent for a while, 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?"

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

"I just think that Mr. Zhao hasn't played enough in Beijing." Yang Ning suddenly interrupted the words of General Manager Qiu and smiled: "General Manager Qiu is also kind. If Mr. Zhao is really anxious to redeem, then he will go tomorrow Jinyihou Mansion, owe compensation and repay as much as possible."

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

"Okay, it's still Shizi happy." Dou Lianzhong seemed to laugh, "That's it, tomorrow's visit will come." Staring at Gu Qinghan, he grinned and said, "Mrs. Let's see you tomorrow." Leading Zhao Xin and others went away.

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

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 and let the Kyoto Prefecture send someone to investigate."

"Investigation?" Director Qiu stunned.

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

Chief General Qiu opened his mouth, and Gu Qinghan also said: "Chief General 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 Mr. Qiu has a good aftermath together."

Duan Canghai promised, Gu Qinghan was tired now, got into the carriage, did not wait to put down the curtain, and Yang Ning also rushed into the carriage, and then he returned 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 little dim, but Yang Ning had excellent eyesight, but he could clearly see Gu Qinghan, and said softly, "San Niang So far, it’s useless to be anxious. 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: "Ning Er, just now you Let Dou Lianzhong go to Houfu tomorrow, we can't get so much money in our house at once."

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

"What are you talking about?"

"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 Zhao Xin’s sale. The body of the general was being transported back to Beijing in secret. The **** shop brought in this sale, and for this reason, three thousand and two silvers were transferred from Fuzhong."

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, and this sale should not be done. But since the contract has already been signed, I can’t regret it."

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

"It is indeed ridiculous." Gu Qinghan frowned: "And that Dou Lianzhong suddenly popped out, which is very abnormal."

Yang Ningwei pondered and said: "San Niang just said that after his father's death, everything in the Hou Man's House was not going well. Did he say that Jiangling's silver could not be delivered in time, and then somehow caused a fire, and now Zhao Xin redeems him? ?"

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

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

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

Yang Ning said: "I think there is a black hand behind my back, and I am ruthlessly handing over our Jinyihou Mansion."

"Black hand?"

Yang Ning leaned forward slightly, leaned in close to Gu Qinghan, and whispered: "After the fire goes out, I will 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 he reached out and grabbed Yang Ning’s wrist. "Ning'er, can you see clearly? You mean, when Dangku found oil marks?"

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

Gu Qinghan Liu Liu frowned, but at this time he calmed down and thought for a while before saying: "So, this fire must have been 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 Dou Lianzhong is really doing ghosts behind their backs, they burned the pawnshop, is it for the compensation of more than 10,000 yuan?" Gu Qinghan frowned: "I'm afraid it will not be so simple~IndoMTL.com~San Niang, Is this Dou Lianzhong's father Dou Kui Huhu Shangshu?" Yang Ning asked: "Can this person have hatred with 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 and had some friendship with the generals in the early years. The generals were fighting abroad, and the money and food were supplied by Huhu in the back. It seems that Dou Kui personally escorted the grain and grass to the front, so he has a good relationship with the general. He was later promoted to Hushu Shangshu, and the general seemed to speak to him in front of Sheng Shang."

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

"Originally, the two were safe together, but the general had suddenly made a compromise to the court the year before, and then Dou Kui was reprimanded by the Holy Ghost, and he was fined for half a year. I heard that it was because the food was late for several days. Just upright, the upper fold man joined Dou Kui." Gu Qinghan You You said: "Since then, the two have settled some enmity, but Dou Kui respected the general in his face."

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

"But without proof, we can't do anything to them." Gu Qinghan frowned: "Tomorrow Dou Lianzhong will inevitably lead Zhao Xindeng, don't say fifteen thousand two silver, that is five thousand two silver. I can't get it 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 do whatever they want." Falling down, I want to 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 did not know how Yang Ning responded to Zhao Xin’s compensation of more than 10,000 yuan.
