Chapter 100: You are not a wolf, so why dance with wolves?
"At this time, everything seems like an enemy. If Yuheng's spies find out something is wrong with you, I'm not sure if they will just attack you regardless of the consequences."
Madam Qian Ming's face changed. She gritted her teeth and finally got into the carriage, sitting opposite Qin Wenyuan and Changle very nervously.
Qin Wenyuan chuckled. This woman's psychological quality was too poor. She couldn't stand it after being slightly frightened by him.
But it is precisely because of this that it is easier for Yuheng to conquer it.
He asked, "Where is your husband now?"
Madam Qian Ming said, "He is taking a break today. He is going to have dinner with his new friends from out of town. He should be at Luo's Restaurant now."
From outside...
Or a new friend?
Qin Wenyuan raised the corner of his mouth. He felt that he would not gain nothing from this trip.
Then, he nodded slightly and said, "Xu Gou, you heard it too."
Xu Gou nodded and said, "Master, I heard it. I'll go to Luoji Restaurant right away."
Xu Gou put on the Qian family's coachman's uniform and drove away in the carriage.
As for the original groom, he was knocked unconscious and thrown into the nearby grass while they were waiting for Madam Qian Ming.
I'm afraid it will be almost tomorrow when he wakes up.
“Boom! Boom! Boom!!”
The carriage ticked along the road.
Qin Wenyuan looked at Madam Qian Ming, who looked nervous, and said, "You have already done it now. I think it is useless to regret it. Tell me, who bribed you and gave you the money."
Madam Qian Ming couldn't help but look at Qin Wenyuan and said, "You, how do you know that I was bribed and not my husband?"
Qin Wenyuan said calmly: "Is this... difficult?"
"This time, the third son of the Lu family revealed that there are three people in the Ministry of War who are worthy of suspicion. According to my investigation, there are three people who are worthy of suspicion, namely Qian Ming, Zhao Shun and Zhou Changwen."
"And these three people are very short of money and are in urgent need of money."
"Then they all got a lot of money and solved their crises, but in different ways."
"Your husband went to the gambling house to gamble again, and finally made a comeback."
"Zhao Shun sold an authentic painting by Wang Xizhi, while Zhou Changwen was a beggar he had helped before and came back to repay his kindness."
"At first glance, the way these three people obtained their wealth is very unusual and can easily arouse suspicion, but in fact, there are still differences."
Madam Qian Ming was slightly startled. She didn't expect that there were other people in the Ministry of War who got the money. She quickly asked, "What's the difference?"
Qin Wenyuan said : "The method is different."
"Let's not talk about Zhou Changwen. It's obvious how deliberate he was. It's obvious that there's something wrong."
"And if all of this was done by Yuheng in order to conceal the source of the money, using such a questionable method, is this because he is afraid of not being noticed and suspected?"
"So, most likely, Zhou Changwen is just a runner-up."
"Of course, this is just speculation, and it is also my subjective consciousness. When handling a case, the most taboo thing is subjective consciousness, because it will make the investigators instinctively tend to think that there is something wrong with this person."
“So I went further to look up Zhou Changwen.”
"As a result... we found out that Zhou Changwen's family was seriously ill and needed medical expenses. That had lasted for a year or two, so it wasn't a short-term thing."
"And Yuheng's plan was only implemented half a month ago at the earliest."
"So, if Yu Heng really wanted to bribe Zhou Changwen as an insider, he would have done it long ago."
"How come Zhou Changwen only had such a fortuitous encounter recently? Doesn't this obviously arouse suspicion? If it was a long-term operation, there wouldn't be any clues left at all."
"So, based on my people's understanding of Yuheng and Yuheng's smartness, he will never make such a mistake. Therefore... our targets are only Qian Ming and Zhao Shun, who lost money in gambling recently and almost went bankrupt."
When Madam Qian Ming heard that Qin Wenyuan was able to narrow down the target to this extent just by relying on time and money, she was really shocked.
Is that human being?
"Now that the targets have been narrowed down to Qian Ming and Zhao Shun, it becomes easier to guess."
Qin Wenyuan continued, "Qian Ming and Zhao Shun owed their debts in the same way, so going to the gambling house, taking a gamble, and winning the money back is actually the easiest way to be accepted by others."
"But this is not the way Zhao Shun gets his money."
"Why?!"
Qin Wenyuan said: "Because Zhao Shun is afraid of losing, maybe he knows that he can't afford to lose anymore. If he continues to lose, his family will really be destroyed."
"So he didn't dare to gamble anymore and thought about selling things to get money to pay off his debts."
Qin Wenyuan looked at Madam Qian Ming and said, "If the Beidou Society found him and bribed him, do you think it would not arouse suspicion if he went to the gambling house to win the money back?"
"Or is it that if I sell an authentic work of Wang Xizhi, people won't be suspicious?"
Madam Qian Ming's palms were full of cold sweat. She looked at Qin Wenyuan, and the last bit of confusion on her face disappeared.
"So it's obvious that Beidou wants Zhao Shun to distract us, and their best way is to let Zhao Shun win the money as well."
"But Zhao Sheng didn't want to gamble anymore, so Yu Heng had no choice but to use this method. He found a calligraphy written by an unknown person and said it was the authentic work of Wang Xizhi, so that Zhao Shun could muddy the waters."
"And there is evidence to prove my guess."
Qin Wenyuan suddenly stopped spinning the glass and said, "The pawnshop reported to the government this morning that it had been robbed and many things were lost, including the original painting by Wang Xizhi."
He laughed, "What a coincidence! There is no evidence now."
Qian Ming's wife couldn't help swallowing.
She felt that Qin Wenyuan was a monster, a monster who was omnipotent and omniscient about everything!
She stared at Qin Wenyuan with wide eyes and her voice became hoarse.
"You...how did you know that the pawnshop reported it to the police? Even though you are a miracle doctor, you don't hold any official position. How did you know this?"
Qin Wenyuan smiled lightly. This must have been discovered by the Ox, who was good at reconnaissance, and the Rat, who had been hiding in the dark.
But he naturally wouldn't tell this to Madam Qian Ming.
Qin Wenyuan said calmly: "Isn't this what you should know."
Madam Qian Ming had a hint of fear in her eyes. "So, so... you, you have suspected my husband for a long time?"
Qin Wenyuan nodded slightly, "Yes , when I heard about the three of them, I actually suspected your husband."
"However, I have also asked about it. Qian Ming has always been conscientious in the Ministry of War, and has a good relationship with many officials in the Ministry of War. Many people think that he is a real person, and no one doubts him."
"To have such a unified conclusion means that Qian Ming is either very good at disguising himself and has not been discovered for so many years, or he is really a good person."
"But if that's true, and he's really a hardworking and good person, why would he do something like this?"
Qin Wenyuan said: "I don't think that money can corrupt him so easily, and he would betray so quickly."
"Later, I heard that he doted on his wife very much. For his wife's sake, he didn't have any concubines, so..."
Qin Wenyuan looked at Madam Qian Ming and said, "I began to doubt you. He is not so easily corrupted. Then what about you, who has never suffered, never experienced poverty, is outspoken and confident, and only has vanity?"
"Could it be that you are the one who actually caused Qian Ming to betray his comrades?"
Mrs. Qian Ming bit her lips with her teeth and grasped the corners of her clothes tightly with both hands.
She lowered her brows and did not dare to look at Qin Wenyuan's inquiring eyes.
Changle, who was standing beside him, was also shocked when he heard that Qian Ming betrayed the Ministry of War for his wife.
Because Qin Wenyuan was looking directly at Madam Qian Ming, he didn't notice anything unusual about his wife.
He chuckled, "It's just that you are the wife of an official, and it's difficult for me, a commoner, to approach you, so I asked General Li to put together this game. In fact, this game today is prepared for you alone."
"As for the result, do I need to continue to explain it?"
"Stop talking!"
Madam Qian Ming shook her head and suddenly spoke loudly.
She covered her ears with her hands and kept shaking her head, "Stop it, stop it!"
Qin Wenyuan glanced at Madam Qian Ming. Her psychological defenses had completely collapsed as he unraveled the mystery.
After all, she is just an ordinary woman who is greedy, vain, spoiled and lawless.
No matter how scheming you are, how deep can it be?
Qin Wenyuan said calmly: "Okay, I won't say anything now, then you can say it."
"Who bribed you?"
Madam Qian Ming shook her head. "I don't know. I really don't know. The man was covered in a black robe. I only know that there was a Yin-Yang Bagua fish pattern on his black robe. I don't know anything else."
"He found me and said he could help my family's debts and even help my husband get promoted so that I could become a royal consort. So... I couldn't help myself and agreed to his request."
"Later, my husband found out about this and he scolded me. Do you know? He never scolded me before..."
She shook her head, tears streaming down her face.
"But in the end, my husband still agreed. However, he didn't let me get involved. He told me to forget about it and pretend it never happened..."
"Then, my husband and the mysterious guy met alone. I really don't know what they talked about or what they traded."
She wiped her tears and said, "I regret it, I really regret it..."
Qin Wenyuan looked at Madam Qian Ming crying, but his expression did not change at all.
The most useless word in this world is regret.
If I had known this would happen, I wouldn’t have done it in the first place.
If you regret it, just say it.
What about the safety of Chang'an City?
If Liu Fu was not careful at that time, smallpox would spread throughout the city of Chang'an. Who would be responsible for the millions of people in Chang'an?
Qin Wenyuan shook his head slightly and didn't go to see Madam Qian Ming.
Who betrayed the Ministry of War, why, and what the motive was, is now clear.
But Mrs. Qian Ming didn't know who bribed them.
After all, Qian Ming really loves his wife too much. Qian Ming knows very well that the more he knows, the more dangerous it is.
This leaves a way out for his wife!
At this time, the carriage stopped.
The voice of the dog sounded, "Master, we have arrived."
Qin Wenyuan nodded slightly and said, "Let's go and meet your husband."
Mrs. Qian Ming got off the carriage crying.
Qin Wenyuan and Changle also got off the carriage.
As soon as he got off the carriage, Qin Wenyuan's eyes suddenly narrowed.
I saw many people gathered downstairs of Luo Ji Restaurant, pointing and talking.
At the door, there were Jingzhao Yi yamen runners guarding the gate, prohibiting anyone from entering.
Xu Gou asked in confusion: "What happened? Why are we not allowed to go in here?"
Qin Wenyuan raised his eyebrows and his expression suddenly changed.
He walked over quickly.
"Dear... Doctor Qin!"
A yamen runner of Jingzhao Yin recognized Qin Zu and said excitedly.
Qin Wenyuan didn't take it seriously and asked hurriedly, "What happened here?"
The yamen runner bowed and replied excitedly: "Dr. Qin, someone has been killed. We just arrived. Our lord asked us to seal the door and not let anyone inside out or outside in."
"Who was killed?"
If someone else asked the same question, the yamen runner would definitely ignore him.
But Qin Wenyuan is different. Not only did he solve the smallpox problem, he was also the top scholar of this year's imperial examination. He is one of the few people valued by His Majesty.
Since Qin Wenyuan asked, he thought about it and lowered his voice and said, "Dr. Qin is a doctor in the Ministry of War."
Qin Wenyuan's eyes flashed, "Master Qian Ming?"
The yamen runner was a little surprised, "Dr. Qin, that's strange, how did you know that?"
"Husband!!!"
At this moment, a shrill cry suddenly rang out.
The yamen runners were all startled by Madam Qian Ming's voice.
Madam Qian Ming was about to rush inside, but the bailiffs naturally wouldn't let her.
Qin Wenyuan shook his head slightly and said, "Everyone, she is the deceased's wife, let her in."
When the yamen runners heard this, some of them looked suspicious, obviously not recognizing Qin Wenyuan.
"Get out of the way quickly, this is Dr. Qin!" the yamen runner who had just arrived spoke.
As soon as he finished speaking, the yamen runners made way in panic, and Qian Ming's wife rushed in like crazy.
Qin Wenyuan shook his head when he saw this. Finally, he hit the nail on the head.
Dancing with wolves, if you are not a wolf, there is no way you can have a good ending.
Do you really think Yuheng is a philanthropist?
Lu Dinghai is a living example. At the beginning, he wanted to get rid of his four subordinates to avoid future troubles. The knight who came to the rescue was Yuheng!
The purpose was to keep these four people to provide witnesses for Lu Dinghai's case in the future.
And it turned out that he succeeded.
If it weren't for those four servants that night, Qin Wenyuan really wouldn't have been sure to snatch Lu Dinghai from Lu Quan.
And now, this time, Qian Ming has also been murdered...
Not only was he pushed into the abyss because of his wife's vanity.
Now, there is no place to bury the dead.
Moreover, even if you die, you will be despised by others!
So sad!
So sad! !
