 However, for more than ten days, the news that Geng Anmin was put into the prison for a strict trial spread a lot. When he learned that the corrupt official was imprisoned, the people applauded. Even in the restaurant, there were discussions. Du Qingchen sat at the counter and read With the account book, casually listening to the guests chatting.

"I heard that when the imperial court sent people to raid the house, they found hundreds of thousands of taels of silver from the Geng Mansion! There were also various antique paintings and calligraphy, and a few carriages were transported outside.

" There are countless treasures, but he is only a poor scholar. In just over ten years, how can he save such a fortune? What is the saying? Seeing Qian's eyes, he couldn't open his eyes, and in the end he fell into Qian's eyes and died on it."

"Didn't you say that Lord Geng belongs to the fifth prince? The fifth prince doesn't protect him?"

"Who said he didn't? Protect me! I heard that the fifth prince pleaded for the surname Geng in the court, and he knelt down and begged in front of civil and military officials! As a result, the national law is ruthless, so we can't let the fifth prince beg for mercy! But the fifth prince is still on his behalf. He took care of the family members who were not sentenced to prison, and even bought land and land to resettle these people."

"It's considered his best effort."

"Who said no?!"

When he walked in, he saw Du Qingchen settling accounts at the counter. He quickly walked two steps to get close to Du Qingchen, "Brother Du, you are someone who does big things, so you still look at these small accounts?" Gu Gao looked disdainful.

Du Qingchen had already closed the ledger, he didn't want to explain that the ledger was not only from this shop, but also from other restaurants and restaurants, he just smiled: "Brother Gu has been busy these few days without seeing anyone, why do you have time to come to me today? Are you here?"

Speaking of this, Gu Gao excitedly raised his hand and patted Du Qingchen on the shoulder, "Good brother, you have made a great contribution this time!" After speaking, Gu Gao leaned closer again, "I don't know what to do. Do you have......"

"Brother Gu, take a seat in the private room!" Du Qingchen's expression became colder.

Gu Gao smiled and said: "It should be, it should be, there are many people here. Haha..."

Du Qingchen looked relieved and raised his heels. In the private room, Gu Gao seemed to have tasted the matter of Geng Anmin. The sweetness of it, I got the news from Du Qingchen, and then used it to ask the third prince for credit and eradicate the political enemies for the third prince. This is smooth and easy, and it is not difficult to do, and it is a good thing that can make the master remember the merits. Pile!

Gu Gao leaned closer, "Brother Du, what else can you tell me?"

Du Qingchen looked embarrassed, "Brother Gu, there are so many things like this, after all, I'm not one of them, so I can get in touch with them. It's just some small things, besides, how much can I know!" The

truth is such a truth, Gu Gao was a little disappointed, nodded and said: "That's right, I'm too hard on you, take your time, this matter is not urgent."

Du Qingchen heard the meaning of Gu Gao's words, and seemed to be temporarily not wanting him to continue his original plan, so he seemed a little anxious: "I don't know when I can join my husband and recognize our ancestors and return to our ancestors? Hearing this ,

Gu Gao immediately waved his hand. He reported this matter to the third prince, and the third prince also felt that Du Qingchen's temporary stay with the fifth prince would be more useful, so he was not in a hurry to overturn the case for the Hou Mansion. Usually it is not very useful. The faint and incompetent Lord Ning Hou, now Du Qingchen is much more useful, it is better to let Ning Hou stay in prison for a while longer, and let Du Qingchen do undercover for a while longer.

"It's not urgent, Brother Du, don't you want to do more meritorious deeds? These masters all remember, in the future, it will all be from the dragon's work! I'm not sure, Brother Du, what great things have you accomplished in the future? , your son's title doesn't need to be downgraded, you can still be a marquis! Then aren't you his father?!"

Du Qingchen seemed to be a little moved, and he couldn't help swallowing his saliva, and said, "What you said... There is some truth to it! Then I will think about it again, and think about what else can make a contribution."

Du Qingchen frowned and thought hard, Gu Gao was satisfied He raised his glass and took a sip, and Du Qingchen hesitated: "I don't know if it counts! I once heard Qi Cheng mention a person's name by accident, and said that he had invited him to dinner, but when I asked again, he would not I admit it, I just said I heard it wrong, and I still don't know if I heard it wrong."

Gu Gao was surprised, "Who is it?"

"I remember his surname seems to be Jiang... There are two words, called What's going on?" Du Qingchen patted his head.

"Jiang Chuan!" Gu Gao said subconsciously.

"Yes, yes! It seems to be called this name. I can't remember it clearly. It happened half a month ago. I only heard this name once, and I don't know him, let alone if he is the fifth prince. It's gone." Du Qingchen was full of hesitation, and waved his hands again and again, "Forget it, forget it! It's also that you tried to seduce me just now because of your position as a marquis, so I was thinking about it, and it seemed to be useless! Gu Gao 's

heart was trembling, but he still managed to hold back the panic in his heart and nodded with difficulty, "Yeah! With just such a name, it can't do anything! To destroy the people under the Fifth Prince's family, we still have to have evidence. Alright , at least you have to know where to look for evidence."

Du Qingchen smiled slightly, "Yeah! That's why I think this person's name is useless, so I just heard Qi Cheng mention it, or he said it casually when he was drunk. , I won't admit it later, I have no evidence, and I have nothing to pull him down, this time, I can't help you, and I can't help the third prince."

Gu Gao nodded unsteadily, and sat for a while, Still got up and said, "Well, there are still some things in my house, I'm afraid I won't be able to sit for a long time. That's it for today. If there is any news, you can send me a message."

Du Qingchen nodded, "That's for sure." Said Then, he got up and sent Gu Gao out.

After Gu Gao left, Du Qingchen sneered and returned to the counter.

On the street, Gu Gao's thoughts were not in his mind. He even got on the carriage several times and almost couldn't get on it, but he had to rush to the third prince's mansion. Row!

Jiang Chuan was a general who was transferred from the third prince from another place to fight with Qi Cheng in the arena. He was in charge of almost 80% of the third prince's military preparations in Beijing. If he was actually a fifth prince, the consequences would be terrifying!

It is strange to think about it now. Jiang Chuan has never participated in the struggle for succession, and the three princes have been invited many times. Jiang Chuan was unmoved. The foundation of many years of foreign business, returning to Beijing to work for the third prince, and competing with Qi Cheng, is too strange! The third prince had also suspected his purpose, but he was reluctant to give up on this general, so he reluctantly pressed his suspicions and used it heavily for him.

Few people know about this matter, and it is also a recent matter. The third prince deliberately concealed it. He also wanted to use Jiang Chuan as a secret chess game at the last moment. That is, he was doing well these days. It was only after he became the confidant of the Third Prince that he had vaguely heard about it. As far as he knew, only three or four people knew about it. Du Qingchen had no idea! The fifth prince should not know! So... what Du Qingchen said, could it be true? !

Gu Gao hurriedly asked people to drive to the Third Prince's Mansion.

Du Qingchen went back to the counter and continued to look at the accounts with a calm demeanor.

Jiang Chuan was never fully trusted by the third prince in the original book, but at the last moment, when the fifth prince forced the palace, he led the soldiers under his jurisdiction, and fought endlessly with the soldiers under Qi Cheng's jurisdiction, and finally ended tragically. , all killed.

The reason why Du Qingchen has an impression of him is that his death was indeed a bit tragic, and after his death, the third prince even hugged his corpse and cried bitterly, crying about his remorse, and opened his mouth to call Jiang Chuan Uncle Jiang. , The scene was so tragic that it made people shed tears. Qi Cheng even returned Jiang Chuan's body to the third prince, and then locked it in the prince's mansion, waiting to be disposed of.

The book never mentions why Jiang Chuan was like this in the main line of the plot, but when Jiang Chuan was dying, he described a memory of Jiang Chuan himself.

The peach is young, scorching its flowers, and the son is returning home, suitable for his family. In the peach blossom forest, Mu Ai fell in love with the young girl at first sight, but unfortunately, the girl was not the boy's home, but the royal family. In the end, the young girl married into the palace and ascended to the sky in one step, while the young man went to other places, and from then on, he felt his love on the battlefield.

Later, the girl became intriguing, and the queen of the mother adored the world, and even died for her son's struggle for succession. The young man finally woke up. What he should do is not to escape from other places, but to stay by her side and accompany her. Even if he can't be with her in this life, he will send her to the sky and become the top of the ten thousand people! Unfortunately, it was too late to wake up, Yiren has passed away, leaving only one son. Therefore, Jiang Chuan gave up his half-life work, returned to the court, and wanted to protect the only son of his sweetheart, but he died tragically in the process of seizing the heir.

Such a person cannot be trusted by the third prince, but is extremely important to the third prince. The forced third prince had to reuse him, suppressing his doubts and using him. Du Qingchen didn't use him to operate, and he was sorry that he had read the original book.

As Du Qingchen looked at the whole book, he had to admit Qi Cheng's vision. When Qi admitted the master, he really chose the most ruthless, but most emperor-like prince to help him. The fifth prince would not make such a mistake. Although the fifth prince killed his eighth brother in the book, maddened the old emperor, and climbed to the throne all the way to the throne, but he is really suspicious and does not need to use people. , in normal times, he is also happy to show a gentle and generous attitude of benevolent king, which belongs to the kind of gentleman who is gentle and elegant on weekdays, but when it matters, he can do any ruthless things, and there will be no mood swings. .

In the third prince's mansion, Gu Gao panicked and reported the news from Du Qingchen. The third prince was still suspicious, "Are you sure he is talking about Jiang Chuan? Could it be..." The third prince hesitated. After all, the importance of Jiang Chuan But it is completely different from Geng Anmin. You can trust Du Qingchen at will, but Jiang Chuan cannot! In the eyes of the third prince, even Ninghou couldn't compare with Jiang Chuan.

"Could it be that Du Qingchen did it on purpose? He actually followed the fifth. The reason why he said this was just to make this Highness break his arm!" The third prince said vigilantly.

Gu Gao knelt in the study, kowtowed a few times, and said, "Master, General Jiang Chuan was transferred back to Beijing normally, who would know that he secretly took refuge with the master! A few years ago, the master showed his favor to him with great fanfare. , he was unmoved, and even returned all the gifts, how could it become so fast!"

The third prince never knew about Jiang Chuan's relationship with the queen, so he did not understand the origin of Jiang Chuan's strange behavior. , Gu Gao mentioned this, the third prince's doubts prevailed again, but he wouldn't believe it so easily, and said: "Go check Jiang Chuan's movements since he entered Beijing, and see if you have contact with Qi Cheng. "

Yes." Gu Gao gave the order, and the third prince asked him to retreat. After turning around in the study for several times, the third prince finally called the dark guard, "Send a letter to the spy next to the fifth, and let

him pay attention to whether the fifth has noticed Jiang Chuan's affairs.

"

People go and stare at Du Qingchen and Jiang Chuan!" The third prince gritted his teeth.

"As ordered." After a shadow answered, it disappeared without a sound, as if it had never existed.

Du Qingchen is currently checking accounts in the store. At noon, he doesn't even have to go home. The store has his own single room. After a barbecue, he seems to think that the counter is too noisy and uncomfortable. , Du Qingchen simply moved the account books to the barbecue room, spread it out on the soft couch, went to grill slices of meat from time to time, and came back to read the two pages of account books, settled accounts, and was very at ease.

The dark guard finally found Du Qingchen's location, and walked around the room again, and finally selected the roof. The side that passersby couldn't see was hidden, and he lifted a tile and peeked inside. The smell of barbecue was very fragrant. He rushed towards him, provoking the well-trained dark guard, and couldn't help swallowing.

After Du Qingchen had eaten and drank enough, he did not turn off the stove. There was still a small cup of brain flower stewed on the stove, bubbling and fragrant.

Du Qingchen didn't plan to tell Qi Cheng what he told Gu Gao about Jiang Chuan, and to play with him, the third prince was suspicious, the more evidence he gave him, the less he would believe it, but he couldn't find out anything. , he is more convinced that his confession is true. After all, for the third prince, he provided a confession here, and the fifth prince found evidence over there, which is too coincidental. To deal with such a suspicious person, give him a suspicion, but he will never be able to prove it. enough.

Moreover, Du Qingchen couldn't explain why he knew about Jiang Chuan. He could tell Gu Gao and others some things, but it was hard to hide from Qi Cheng, Shaoqing, or even the fifth prince, and maybe the fifth prince and his party I don't know the details of Jiang Chuan. In the original book, Qi Cheng didn't realize that he had already voted for the third prince secretly and regretted it for a long time. Therefore, Du Qingchen couldn't even mention it, and he just did it at will.

Du Qingchen took a short nap after lunch, and then got up to work. The dark guard followed Du Qingchen for a day, watching him eat barbecue, watch him sleep on his back, watch him reconcile accounts, watch him train stewards, watch him follow him. They talked about business, and then ate a barbecue again, probably because they ate too much, and also played a set of soft and weird boxing techniques to digest food...

It was not until he returned to his life after changing shifts that the dark guard was finally relieved, and then changed into casual clothes and went to Du Qingchen's store. Had a BBQ.
