Chapter 109: Following the Clues to Find the Melon
Xie Mingyuan, Xie Shian’s father, was the prefect of Yuzhou Prefecture.
Xie Mingyuan was a famous playboy when he was young, and he often lingered in brothels. But he was born smart, and his family paved the way for him, so even though he had a bad reputation, he still rose to prominence.
However, after serving as an official for twenty years, he remained as romantic as ever.
Although there are only three concubines in the Xie Mansion, there are countless singers and dancers, who are constantly being replaced and eliminated.
The woman next to Lu Zhan is named Cherry. Her mother had caught Xie Mingyuan's eye with her outstanding appearance and dancing skills, and he had her after he showed her favor.
But Xie Mingyuan did not take her into his room and continued to let her live with other dancers.
But he had been favored by Xie Mingyuan, and in the eyes of others he was a common enemy.
After she gave birth to Cherry, she died not long after.
Although Xie Mingyuan knew about Cherry's existence, he didn't care. He didn't consider Cherry as his own flesh and blood at all and let her fend for herself.
But the people below were afraid of her background. The master didn't care, but he didn't order her to be dealt with, right? What if she remembered it one day?
So Cherry grew up in this environment.
as predicted.
A year ago, fifteen-year-old Cherry was given as a gift by Xie Mingyuan to Lu Zhan, who was almost the same age as him.
Cherry successfully won Lu Zhan's heart with her outstanding appearance and dancing skills, and was deeply loved by Lu Zhan.
It took quite a bit of effort to investigate this, but the results were ultimately very satisfying.
Follow the vine to find the melons, you will find several melons on the vine.
Why would Xie Mingyuan, a fourth-rank prefect, send a dancer to Lu Zhan, who had no real power in the court, for no reason? There was no need to think too deeply about it, it was just for the things from the mine.
"Xie Mingyuan has always been cautious and suspicious. It may not be easy to investigate him."
An old fox like Xie Mingyuan, who has been in the officialdom for twenty years, dares to get involved. I am afraid he will not leave any handle that is easy to catch.
If this case is solved... I'm afraid countless people will be involved.
"Don't alert Xie Mingyuan for now, and continue to work on Yingtao. She has always been by Lu Zhan's side, so maybe she knows where the real account book is hidden."
"Yes!"
As the treasurer of the mines, Lu Zhan controlled the mining of two mines and colluded with many officials. The account books submitted to the Ministry of Revenue must have been forged, and no problems could be found. But when they divided up the silver and sent it away, there must be another real account book that could not be seen by the public.
As long as this account book is found, the big fish hiding in the dark will be pulled out of the water.
The water they are in is very deep.
……
As soon as Jiang Hao returned to the Jiang Mansion, Mother Bian invited her to meet Song and gave her a wink before entering the house.
Ever since they treated Mother Bian's nose for free, the Song family's attitude towards Mother Bian has become chilling again. Mother Bian was very attentive to "Dr. Jiang".
Song was sitting in the house drinking tea with a bad look on her face. When she saw that Mother Bian had invited people over, she was no longer as polite as usual: "You once said that my master's illness must be treated with moxibustion for three consecutive days. If it is interrupted in the middle, even the Great Luo Immortal can't save him, right?"
After listening to Song's words, Jiang Hao had already guessed why Song's attitude towards him had changed so drastically.
"Yes, that's what I said."
Seeing that she dared to admit it, Song laughed angrily: "If that's the case, why hasn't my master gotten any better?"
Jiang Hao immediately looked at her innocently and said, "Madam, everything should be done with reason. I did say what you just said, but when did I say that Master Jiang would be well in three days?"
