Chapter 67: One Night at Qiao Mansion (Part 1)

When the two left the Jingzhao Mansion, King Jing and Princess Lu Yang were about to get into the sedan chair. Seeing Pei Rongbai and Qiao Songyu coming out, the corners of King Jing's lips twitched, his eyes revealed a sneer, and he said calmly:

"Today is really thrilling. The Qiao family is almost implicated in the nine clans."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Songyu couldn't help but glanced at him, and retorted: "Thank you for your concern, I have disappointed you."

"Qiao Songyu, you are too presumptuous!" Princess Lu Yang scolded in a low voice. She stared at Qiao Songyu like a snake with cold and dangerous eyes, waiting for the opportunity to catch its prey.teeth, bite Qiao Songyu hard!

"My wife was frightened just now, and she spoke incoherently. I still hope Princess Haihan." Pei Rongbai's words seemed to be apologetic, but his attitude was obviously cold and arrogant, completely different from the previous attitude towards Princess Lu Yang.

When Princess Lu Yang heard the words, a look of resentment appeared on her face, she snorted heavily, turned around and got on the sedan chair.

King Jing looked at this scene with a real smile on his face, and even said to Pei Rongbai gloatingly: "Mr. Pei, you should pay attention to your wife's safety recently."

Pei Rongbai glanced coldly, and replied: "Don't bother King Jing."

King Jing smiled coldly, turned around and got on the sedan chair.

Pei Rongbai and Qiao Songyu also went back home, but they still didn't go back to Pei's mansion, but went back to Qiao's house together. After all, something like this happened in the middle of the banquet at Qiao's house, it was a mess, and they will clean it up when they go back.

As soon as Pei Rongbai and Qiao Songyu arrived at Qiao's house, Qiao Rongyu was already waiting for them in the flower hall. Seeing them coming in, she got up and asked Pei Rongbai:

"Rongbai, I see you winked at your men just now, did you tell him to catch Tang Liu?"

Qiao Songyu was at a loss when he heard this—hey, when did Pei Rongbai tell his men to go down and catch Tang Liu?He looked at Pei Rongbai, only to see Pei Rongbai nodded and said:

"When Mrs. Sun talked about Tang Liu, I knew that the Xie family and King Jing must be behind the scenes. I was afraid that the Xie family would kill Tang Liu, so I asked Jiang Shang to arrest Tang Liu immediately."

Qiao Rongyu nodded, and said again: "Although this case has been solved and the Qiao family's grievances have been cleared up, I still have a question from the beginning to the end, which I cannot solve."

"You mean about that note?" Pei Rongbai raised his eyebrows and asked.

"Yes." Qiao Rongyu frowned, with a rare serious expression on his face, "I asked Zeyu when I came back, and he said that he had never seen this note, and he didn't know what it was.It was stuffed in at the time. I suspect..."

When Qiao Songyu heard this, she became more and more at a loss, and opened her mouth to ask, "Brother, what do you suspect?"

Pei Rongbai made a "shh" gesture to him, and said: "It's not appropriate to talk about it here, I will tell you when the time comes."

Looking at the interaction between her brother and brother-in-law, Qiao Rongyu knew that Pei Rongbai understood what she meant, so she smiled and stopped talking.

It was Pei Rongbai who said to Qiao Rongyu again: "You have a doubt, and I have a doubt too."

"What doubts?"

"Before Songyu was robbed, someone wanted to assassinate him. Since this person is not from the Xie family, who would want to kill him?" Pei Rongbai was full of suspicion.

"Don't you doubt that it's Princess Luyang?" Qiao Songyu interjected, "Didn't you see her expression of wanting to deal with me just now?"

Pei Rongbai shook his head: "No, Princess Lu Yang's martial arts methods are not so secretive, and she acts domineeringly, she will never send only one person to assassinate..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Qiao Songyu sourly: "You know her pretty well!"

Hearing this, Pei Rongbai looked at him, chuckled lightly, and said: "I know you well, for example, you hid a book under our bed..."

Qiao Songyu was taken aback for a moment, and then she understood - isn't the book hidden under the bed the same booklet with shameful content?

How did Pei Rongbai know!

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!

Qiao Songyu's face immediately turned red, and he felt that Pei Rongbai's smiling, tender and affectionate peach blossom eyes seemed to be so hot that he could see him completely. He immediately covered his face with his hands and said, "I didn't! You're talking nonsense."! That book is not mine!"

It's a standard denial of three consecutive times.

Pei Rongbai laughed out loud.

Qiao Rongyu asked curiously: "What book?"

Qiao Songyu immediately jumped up and covered Pei Rongbai's mouth, blushed and stared at Pei Rongbai: "Don't say it, if you dare to say it, I will, I will, I will make you look good!"

Pei Rongbai's smile grew stronger, and he shook his head at Qiao Rongyu.

Just as Qiao Rongyu was about to say something, Jiang Shang hurried in:

"Master, it's over for the subordinates, the people have been silenced."

Pei Rongbai frowned: "So fast? Faster than you?" Jiang Shang and the others should have rushed there immediately, so why did they ask someone to silence Tang Liu?

Jiang Shang said guiltily: "The main reason is that we didn't know where Tang Liu was, so we searched for a while separately in Xie's house. When we found him, he was hanging on the beam and passed away, but his body was still warm. There should be someone.Kill him one step faster than us."

"Then it should be King Jing's handwriting." Qiao Rongyu said, "There was no Xie family at the time. It should be that King Jing was afraid of involving Xie's family and himself, so he suppressed it."

Pei Rongbai also agreed with this point of view: "Well, it must be King Jing. King Jing and the Xie family must have conspired to do something, and it is also related to that account book."

Qiao Rongyu heard the ledger and said, "I have an idea about the ledger."

"what idea?"

"I see that Baocheng Bank of Yang City is the bank account that appears most frequently in their account books. It just so happens that Yang City is also the silk supply base of their Xie family. Maybe their extra money is very similar to this Baocheng Bank.Relationship." Qiao Rongyu said in a low voice, "You can check this bank number."

Pei Rongbai nodded, and said: "Yes, I see."

While the few people were talking, Qiao Hongxi and Mrs. Qiao also came out after changing clothes and resting. When they saw Pei Rongbai, their faces were naturally full of gratitude and excitement. Qiao Hongxi stepped forward and said:

"Bai Zhang, thanks to you this time, otherwise, even if we jumped into the Yellow River, we wouldn't be able to clean up. The hundreds of people in Qiao's family are all relying on you!"

"You are Song'er's relatives, and naturally you are also my relatives. I should do what I should do." Pei Rongbai smiled politely, with no airs of being a prime minister on his face. As he spoke, his tone changed, and he said, "What's more, maybe you were targeted just because you were implicated by me..."

"You'll be offended by saying that..." Mrs. Qiao was more excited than Qiao Hongxi, "Tonight, you and Song'er and his wife will have a light meal here, sleep overnight, and leave tomorrow!"

"Ah, really? Really?" Qiao Songyu was overjoyed, and then looked longingly at Pei Rongbai, "That's really great, Lord Prime Minister will definitely not dislike our Qiao family's simple and humble house, will it?"

Pei Rongbai understood his meaning very well, and nodded with a smile: "Yeah."

Qiao Songyu immediately laughed happily, her fair and beautiful face was as bright as spring flowers.
