Dressed as the villain's stepmother

Prime Minister Xiao's order brought a lot more informants outside Lihuayuan.

After the secret guard discovered the other party, he reported it to Jiang Lianzhu who had stayed up all night in Lihua Garden.

"Madam, do you need to get rid of them?"

"You all don't know what to do. As long as they don't touch Sanbao and the others, we will focus on defense. But if they make further moves, we will kill them directly without mercy."

Liao Yunchuan is not in Kyoto, so it is not easy to cause trouble.

But this doesn't mean Jiang Lianzhu is afraid.

After ordering the secret guards, Jiang Lianzhu went out as usual. Since there were people watching, she wanted to make the scene more realistic.

In addition, she also wanted to secretly create some obstacles for Prime Minister Xiao.

So she disguised herself as a man, changed her appearance, and once again went to a teahouse and restaurant to observe Pang Hu from a distance.

This guy is too weak to hold up a wall. As long as he finds someone in a place where people are eating, drinking and having fun, he will be sure to catch them.

The Prime Minister's Mansion was unwilling to recognize Pang Hu as his future uncle, and was worried that getting rid of this person would ruin the reputation of the Prime Minister's Mansion, so they ignored it and allowed this man to seek his own death. It would be better to be beaten to death with a stick. It’s better to keep the Prime Minister’s Mansion clean.

Pang Hu had been fooling around for so long and had already lost all the money sent to him by the Prime Minister's Mansion.

In addition, he dreamed of marrying the prime minister's daughter every day and becoming the quick son-in-law of the prime minister's palace, so he became more and more uninterested in his errands in the palace.

Today, there was an assassination incident in the palace. He, the captain of the palace guards, failed to take down the assassin in time because he drank too much. He was held accountable afterwards, and his captain of the guards was also taken down.

Now he has completely become a blind person wandering around on the street.

"You stinking drunkard, if you want to drink, go somewhere else! The wine in our store is as good as that of your wife, the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's Palace!"

The store owner deliberately mocked Pang Hu when he saw that Pang Hu was clinging to him and affecting his business.

"Bitch, blind your dog eyes!"

Pang Hu staggered up and wanted to hit someone, but all the waiters in the store were so tall that he could only curse and walk away.

Jiang Lianzhu, who was disguised as a Taoist priest, blocked Pang Hu at the entrance of an alley.

"Smelly old man! You're going to trip me to death!"

After stumbling, Pang Hu cursed and wanted to overturn Jiang Lianzhu's stall.

"I accidentally tripped you up. To make amends, I will give you a message. You will be rich and famous in the future."

"Bullshit!"

Pang Hu was now poor and alone, and he didn't believe in the nonsense of others at all.

"The path to success never lies. Donor, your path to wealth is in the southeast. Grab the person you are destined to be, and you will have no worries about food, clothing, and wealth for the rest of your life."

Pang Hu was stunned by what Jiang Lianzhu said.

When he woke up a little, there was no Taoist in front of him. Under the influence of alcohol, Pang Hu felt more and more that he had met a true god.

And to the southeast of where he is now, isn't it the Prime Minister's Mansion? !

Pang Hu got a secret and vowed to become the quick son-in-law of the Prime Minister's Mansion!

After sending Pang Hu away, Jiang Lianzhu, dressed as a man and a woman, returned to the hospital. Liu Qingqing laughed at her for a long time.

"Is there any news from your father?"

"The letter you asked for about Mr. Liao has not been answered yet. However, the whereabouts of General Cheng you asked me to inquire about before have been found."

Jiang Lianzhu sat down, took off her makeup, and listened to Liu Qingqing's report.

Even if there is no news about Liao Yunchuan, it is good that there is news about General Cheng Xu. At least there will be some room for improvement in the matter of Prince Xiang in the prison.

"General Cheng has returned to Beijing?"

"How can it be so fast? Although General Cheng won the battle, the borderland is thousands of miles away from the capital. Even if the army returns to the court, he will have to wait until the New Year to return."

Liu Qingqing broke Jiang Lianzhu's dream.

"New Year's Day..."

Jiang Lianzhu was anxious. There was still some time before the New Year. At the moment, she just hoped that everyone in Prince Xiang's Mansion could be safe in the prison.

Yang Fei has quietly left the capital with Zhenbeihou's people, and it is inconvenient for her to continue sneaking into the prison to spy on people.

Yang Fei had been covering for her before, but now there was no one to look out for her, and she might have slipped in if she wasn't careful.

"Shopkeeper, although I didn't find out what you wanted, I discovered another strange thing."

Seeing the worry in Jiang Lianzhu's eyes, Liu Qingqing changed the topic.

"What's strange?"

Jiang Lianzhu came back to her senses and asked casually while counting the creams on the medical clinic table.

"After Prince Xiang was arrested, officers and soldiers were guarding the water transport terminal everywhere. The common people thought that if the officials took over, the water transport would not be as dirty as before. But guess what, the dirty things that were done secretly before The gunpowder business is now being conducted openly and openly by the people in the Prime Minister’s Mansion!”

"You said that the world has really changed. Is it unusual for officials and their families to engage in banditry?"

Liu Qingqing's words were full of ridicule.

In the past, when Prince Xue Yin of Prince Xiang was in charge of water transportation and voyages, he strictly guarded against smuggling. Those with evil intentions wanted to profit from it, but they did not get any benefits from Prince Xiang.

Xue Yin is currently in prison for treason.

People with impure thoughts emerged from the secret one after another, and the outstanding one among them was none other than the Prime Minister.

Jiang Lianzhu was not surprised.

Along the way, the shops under the Prime Minister's name that made him money were destroyed one after another. The Prime Minister had already been forced to stand under the wall. Now, he is in prison in Prince Xiang's Mansion. How long will it take for the Prime Minister not to make money now?

"How many people know about this?"

"There are so many! But the sky is high and the emperor is far away. The prime minister's hand has reached out to the water transportation. The emperor in the capital has no idea at all, and those who know the inside story also turn a blind eye."

Liu Qingqing curled her lips, stood up and dusted the melon seed peels off her body.

"So what if the official worships the prime minister? Isn't it just the same short-sightedness? The harm of black powder is unparalleled by other things."

"Since there are many people, it means they are arrogant and arrogant enough in this matter. You asked your father to pay attention to the whereabouts of the black powder."

"I understand, but I have asked people to investigate the matter you mentioned, and the whereabouts of the black gunpowder. It was not purchased centrally by anyone. In the end, it was only bought in twos and threes by some people from workshops that make fireworks and firecrackers. go."

"The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and every household that can afford it should buy some fireworks and set them off."

"So, I haven't found anything strange yet."

Liu Qingqing's words did not dishearten Jiang Lianzhu. She told him to continue to pay attention.

The days go by fast.

It was almost the end of the New Year. After Jiang Lianzhu paid the New Year's wages to the workers at the medical center, they all got more than ten days of leave.

After that, he went out of business and waited for the New Year with peace of mind.

Everything was as usual in Lihua Garden, but she couldn't bear the worries of the children at home. Liao Xiaole nestled in Jiang Lianzhu's arms and asked in a low voice.

"Mom, I'm afraid, can eldest brother and dad celebrate the New Year with us?"
