Chapter 284 Distant News

The person who came was Wang Tu. He also had several old acquaintances from the Ministry of War. When we met, it was naturally a lively event. Dashe sat in it and saw his brother-in-law talking and talking to his friends, giving advice on the country, and he was very envious. On Chen Muqing, when he knew that Xiao Sa had a friend coming, he personally prepared the recipe and designated the tea and wine for guests. He was still a little worried, so he went to the kitchen to take a look.

A little maid took out the wine and food.

The dishes are all on Chen Muqing's list, and the wine is also designated by her.

Chen Muqing frowned almost invisibly: "Who is this for?"

The little maid was trembling: "Manager Pang is back. Manager Xu asked the kitchen to make some food. He didn't have time to spare, so he scooped some..."

Yin Liang's surname is Xu.

"Manager Pang is back?" Chen Muqing was stunned, "When did he come back?"

"I just came back." Seeing Chen Muqing's calm expression, the little maid breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on her face. "I originally wanted to go to pay my respects to my grandma and grandma. Knowing that there were distinguished guests at home, Manager Pang asked me to wait until the guests left before seeing my grandma..."

"I understand!" Chen Muqing interrupted the little maid's nagging, "Take the food to Manager Pang. It's cold this time, be careful. Also, tell Manager Pang, he has worked hard on the road, rest today, if you have anything to do, let's talk about it tomorrow!"

The little maid left.

Chen Muqing went to the kitchen to take a look. Seeing Yingfen personally supervising her, everything was in order. She said a few words to Yingfen and went to the fourth wife's place.

"...Mr. Min, Lord Wang is here. When I have dinner later, my husband is afraid he can't accompany his mother." Chen Muqing smiled and said, "Wife, come and serve you for dinner!"

"Since it's a guest at home, you don't need me." The fourth wife said with a faint expression, "Go to the kitchen to watch, so as not to have any inconsiderable places. It's enough for me to have the Eleventh and Eleventh daughter-in-law to serve."

Chen Muqing bent his knees and responded to "yes" and retreated.

When I walked to the door, I heard the voice of Eleventh Master from behind me: "Mom, there are guests at home, I will help you greet me, so as not to be too busy with Qi brother alone."

"The people sitting in that room are all powerful people in the court. What are you doing, just a white dick? Do you still have to humiliate yourself?" The fourth wife said very rudely.

Chen Muqing hurriedly stepped up and left the main house.

When a servant came over to convey Xiao Sa's order to serve the food, Chen Muqing entrusted the two children to Mingxia, focusing on the matters in the kitchen.

When the lights first came on, the guests dispersed one after another. Chen Muqing hurriedly went back to the house to change his clothes. Xiao Sa helped Dashe in: "I have sent someone to the Petrochemical Bridge and stayed at Dashe for a few days."

Chen Muqing looked closely and saw that Dashe was drinking all over and his face was flushed, and he could only look at her and smile foolishly.

"How did you drink it like this?" Chen Muqing couldn't help but scold Xiao Sa, "Do you know he doesn't understand these?"

Xiao Sa laughed: "Who knew that the master was so strict with him that he had never drunk wine."

Chen Muqing had to complain. While asking someone to make sober soup, he called the maid to come in and clean up the ear room next to the west wing. He also sent the maid to stay in his room at night, and it took half a day to settle Dashe. Fortunately, Dashe was drunk and quietly stopped moving. If he started to drink, it would be bad if he quarreled with the fourth wife. After all, he was his family, and he had to lose politeness in front of his in-laws' family. He could not bear the face.

Xiao Sa sighed, "This room is too small, and there will be no place to live with two more guests. But it is also a house made by the emperor, so you can't do anything to adapt."

The guest room in the outer courtyard was for Chang Hui, and the guest room in the backyard was for Yinliang and his wife to live in. In addition, the fourth wife and the Eleventh Master both occupied the entire house, so there was indeed not enough people to come to the family.

Chen Muqing could only sigh: "Let's just stay here first!"

She didn't expect that Xiao Sa would strengthen her determination to build a villa in Xishan.

After coming out of the ear room, the couple went to pay homage to the fourth wife. The fourth wife asked what dishes they had cooked today? How were the adults eating, and then asked the two of them to leave: "...It's getting late, everyone should rest!"

The two of them respectfully responded to "yes" and left the main house. Just after two steps, Eleventh Master chased after him: "Brother Seven, Brother Seven!"

The couple stopped.

Master Eleven walked up to Xiao Sa with a smile and whispered: "Brother Qi, I have a few good friends who have heard of Brother Qi's reputation and want to come to the mansion to visit. Brother Qi, I wonder when you are free?"

Xiao Sa smiled and said, "I just came back, and there are many trivial matters. Let's talk about this in a few days!"

When Eleventh Master heard this, he looked a little dissatisfied and wanted to say something. Xiao Sa said, "It's too late today. I'll get up tomorrow at Yin. If you have anything to do, let's talk about it later!" As he said that, he turned around and left without waiting for Eleventh Master to react.

Chen Muqing hurriedly gave the Eleventh Master a blessing and chased Xiao Sa back to the house.

As soon as he entered the door, Xiao Sa's face sank and told Chen Muqing: "You send someone to check tomorrow to see who are interacting with at Eleventh? Logically speaking, his mother held him by his side, but he didn't come to Kyoto for long, why did he suddenly have a few good friends?"

No matter where they are, there are idle helpers. These people often focus on the children of wealthy families and use some means to attract them to eat, drink, go for food, drink, and gambling to make a profit. Therefore, there are also many families who have lost their entire family.

"Don't worry, I will send Yinliang to investigate this matter." No matter what, Eleventh Master is Xiao Sa's younger brother. If something happens to him, others will always talk about Xiao Sa and ask Xiao Sa to solve it. The thought flashed through her and she thought of Pang Debao, "Xiao Sa, when you treat him, Manager Pang is back. I'll ask him to come to see you tomorrow."

"Oh, Pang Debao is back." Xiao Sa pondered, "Since you are back, you'd better see you today..."

What's the matter? So urgent?

Chen Muqing was a little surprised and was about to call the maid to invite Pang Debao. A little maid replied: "Master, grandma, Manager Pang is asking for a meeting!"

"Come in quickly!" Xiao Sa actually went to lift the curtain himself.

Chen Muqing was full of confusion, and Pang Debao had already walked in.

He looked a little tired and greeted Xiao Sa and Shen Muqing. Chen Muqing hurriedly called the maid to serve tea to Pang Debao.

When the tea came up, Xiao Sa sent all the people who served in the house.

Seeing this, Chen Muqing prepared to avoid the bedroom.

"Mu Qing, this matter has something to do with you, listen too!" Xiao Sa called Chen Muqing.

It has something to do with me? Is there anything that needs Xiao Sa to send someone like Pang Debao to solve? The tea farm in Fujian? No, it has become a scale there, and Lin Ruichun's management is very well-informed, which has always made her worry-free... Yiwen Tea Shop, Zhou Bing, is in charge of it. Although the profit is very thin, there is no problem with those who support Baizhifang...

She thought, and sat down in confusion.

Pang Debao glanced at Chen Muqing, and sympathy flashed in his eyes.

"I looked for what the man said, and I really saw a lame woman. Although she was wearing a common man and wearing a thorny hairpin, she was haggard, but she spoke well and acted generously, and she was indeed not like an ordinary peasant woman. I deliberately put a Jiangnan accent in my words, and she asked me where I was from. I was afraid that she would be suspicious, so I said that I was from Kyoto and went shopping in Jiangnan in my early years. The woman lowered her head and said nothing, murmured a few words. Although she didn't hear it very clearly, it was a Jiangnan accent..."

Before he finished speaking, Chen Muqing was shocked: "You, have you found Sister Yuerong?"

Xiao Sa looked solemn: "Dai Gui and I have been looking for Miss Chen, but this time the scene is most consistent with Miss Chen. As for whether it is true or not, I don't know yet!"

"Yes, grandma!" Pang Debao smiled, "This is the third woman I have seen...but this time it is more similar than before, so I rushed back and wanted to ask grandma to come up with an idea to see if I could find someone who is familiar with Miss Shen to recognize it... There are some things that we don't know, nor do we know where to ask..."

Chen Muqing also made things difficult for trouble: "Sister Yuerong's mother is gone, and her relationship with her second uncle is not good... I have only seen her a few times..."

"Let me ask Ren Xiang?" Xiao Sa thought for a moment and said decisively, "Even if he doesn't know, his aunt should know a little!"

"Is this good?" Chen Muqing hesitated, "Ren Xiang has married and had children now..."

"Speaking of this, he is not without responsibility." Xiao Sa said, "He will never let go, right!"

That's all.

Chen Muqing sighed and asked Chen Yuerong about the situation: "How did you find someone? What happened back then?"

"General Dai only said that his distant relatives in his family were abducted, and he checked all the ships he passed by. Several ships were docked in nearby brothels, Yaxing, and murder cases. Among them, eleven girls' homes were similar to those of Miss Shen, and General Dai sent someone to investigate these eleven girls... Later, General Dai went to Liaodong, and some things were inconvenient, so we took over and continued to investigate... Three died during this period, seven other people were either wrong in age or found their family, which were inconsistent with Miss Shen's situation. This woman was the last of the eleven girls... If not, then..."

Chen Muqing heard Pang Debao's unfinished words: "We have done our best. If we don't, we can only do this!"

Pang Debao nodded: "It's good that grandma can figure it out."

"This matter was decided like this." Xiao Sa stood up, "Let's make plans when I've seen Ren Xiang tomorrow!"

Pang Debao stood up and said goodbye. Chen Muqing and Xiao Sa stopped and tossed and turned. She couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect Dai Gui to be so sincere and keep his promises..."

"Go to sleep!" Xiao Sa turned over and put it on Chen Muqing's body, looking sleepy, "I'll just give this favor!"

Chen Muqing could not sleep, thinking about Dai Gui's actions over the years: "...I always feel that he is a noble man. Although he treats people peacefully, he is noble in his bones. He is very righteous to his friends and has a chivalrous style..."
