Rebirth of the Prime Minister's Wife

"Girl." Qinglian sighed again. She guarded her back like a thief, for fear that the two guards would follow her. "What are you going to do? You have to avoid the eyes of those two people."

While eating in Zui Feng Tower, Qin Zhaozhao suddenly complained of abdominal pain and took Qing Lian to sneak out while the two guards were not following him.

She glanced around and landed on the Huanghuang building not far from Zuifeng Tower. "Linglong Pavilion and Zuifeng Tower are just a cover. I only have one goal today."

"Tongbao Bank."

She wanted to verify whether the token the man gave her that day was as powerful as Qian Wansan said.

The first time Qin Zhaozhao stepped into Tongbao Bank located in the most prosperous place in Shengjing, he was shocked by the smell that hit him.

Rather than the extravagant atmosphere she imagined, the huge place exuded the ultimate low-key restraint.

People from all over the world gather here, and there are also visitors of different statuses.They are clearly very different people. As soon as they step into this place, the invisible barrier between people is naturally eliminated.

As soon as Qin Zhaozhao stepped in, someone came to greet him.

The boy's expression was not flattering, and he had a comforting smile, "Girl, please come here."

He didn't ask Qin Zhaozhao what he was doing here, he just pointed to a place and guided her there.

Qin Zhaozhao glanced in that direction, where most of the female relatives gathered.

In Tongbao Bank, the people who come and go are all businessmen, there are not so many restrictions, and the atmosphere of the gangs and lakes is stronger. As long as it is not too excessive, the defense of men and women is not valued.

Even so, some women's inconvenience is still considered here.

Qin Zhaozhao sighed that this place was indeed the largest bank well-known in various countries from south to north.

This ironing note alone is enough to see the pattern of Tongbao Bank.

Qin Zhaozhao looked at it and said, "I heard that Tongbao Bank can do any kind of business, but is it true?"

The boy smiled, "Is this your first time here, girl?"

Qin Zhaozhao nodded.

The waiter led the way forward while explaining, "Have you ever heard, girl, that there is no business that the bank cannot do except the bargaining chips that the customers cannot provide?"

When he said this, the boy's tone couldn't help but feel a bit proud, as if he was honored, "But it's not like anyone can just come here to do business."

"In addition to customers bringing their own chips, the bank also has a jade pendant-shaped token. Ordinary jade pendants can be used in place of chips to do ordinary business where money and goods can be settled."

Qin Zhaozhao raised his eyebrows, "For example?"

The boy smiled and said, "We can find people who the government can't find."

"We dare to take the path that the escort agency doesn't dare to take."

He just clicked a few words, but he already revealed the powerful background of Tongbao Bank.

"Further up, it involves areas that ordinary people have no access to." The young man said in a vague way, but Qin Zhaozhao understood it clearly.

She continued to ask, "As you said, ordinary tokens become ineffective after being used once..."

"What about this?"

The boy followed her words and turned around. When he saw what she was holding, his eyes narrowed suddenly and he was almost startled.

Within a few breaths, his attitude suddenly became respectful.

"This is beyond my authority. Please come with me, girl."

She sat in the side room for a long time, and the shopkeeper of the bank came in, looking at Qin Zhaozhao secretly.

He went straight to the point, "I heard that the token in the girl's hand is a little different?"

Qin Zhaozhao took out the jade pendant directly. The shopkeeper looked at the light carefully for a long time, rubbing the lines on it with his fingertips, his expression became much more respectful.

"This is the general chapter and it is correct."

"A token that can only be issued by one of the powerful people behind the bank."

Qin Zhaozhao felt certain, and at the same time he became curious about the identity of the mysterious man that day.

That person is indeed not simple.

I didn't expect Uncle Nie to know such a person.

Qin Zhaozhao said calmly, "With the general seal, your bank should be able to do any business, right?"

The shopkeeper smiled and nodded, "Of course."

Qin Zhaozhao raised his eyes, and the aura around him gradually sank. His gaze was as sharp as the light shooting out from the layers of clouds, which shocked the shopkeeper's heart.

"I want to know everything that happened three years ago when the Chaisang Qin family and the Qin Yuanming family died."

"And their bones."

The shopkeeper suddenly stood up, and the cup in front of him turned over due to his excessive curvature, and the tea spilled onto the entire coffee table.

Qin Zhaozhao looked at his shocked expression and said with an indifferent expression, "Why, isn't it said that there are only chips that the customers can't bring up, and there is no business that the bank can't do."

The shopkeeper raised his sleeves and wiped the sweat from his head, "If you can... you can certainly do it."

If it were an ordinary trader, he would have kicked them out long ago.

But this woman is different, and I don’t know which adult she is related to... The shopkeeper did not dare to be perfunctory, "Did the girl want it on the spot, or..."

"I want it on the spot." Qin Zhaozhao said decisively, "The sooner the better, I don't have time to delay."

The shopkeeper wiped his sweat and said, "Yes, yes, please wait a moment, girl."

After speaking, he backed out.

As soon as the shopkeeper left the house, he sent someone to deliver the news to an important person in Beijing.

There was no reply for a long time. When he was anxiously pacing back and forth in the corridor, he saw Ji Yuanan approaching.

The shopkeeper seemed to have seen his savior and almost burst into tears.

Ji Yuanan glanced at the half-opened door and said, "Send someone to keep an eye on this floor. The big boss behind the bank is in this cubicle. Don't let unscrupulous people come in and disturb him."

The shopkeeper was shocked that the man behind the scenes, whose true identity was never known, actually came today.

He was curious, but he also knew the rules here, so he immediately became very energetic and said, "Don't worry, sir. I'll do it now, little one."

Ji Yuan adjusted his collar, put on what he thought was a perfect expression, and pushed the door open.

What came face to face was a stunningly beautiful face who had just taken off her veil to breathe.

Just like the dazzling moment when the morning sun rises, those beautiful eyes are filled with rippling eye waves, and one glance makes people immersed in the rich and lasting drunkenness of the wine.

It's clearly Mu Dong. The room seems to be full of peach blossoms, with light and charming pink blooming in the room.

The woman's black hair concealed her fair skin. When Ji Yuanan first looked at her, what flashed across her eyes was the beauty and fragrance of the country. What flashed across her second glance was——

Standing next to Xie Zhihuan, this woman must be a perfect match.

After all, he is well-informed. Perhaps because he has been around Xie Zhihuan for a long time, he has a certain immunity to this kind of blinding appearance.

In Qin Zhaozhao's eyes, the young and handsome man in front of him was only surprised for a moment, and then sat calmly in front of him.

Every move he made was just right. He was like a mature businessman. The first sentence he spoke shocked her——

"I am the person in charge of this bank, and my surname is Ji."

Qin Zhaozhao doubted his eyes and ears.

Maybe she had never been born, or maybe she had seen too little of the world.

Are young and promising people now crossing the river in an endless stream?

It seemed that the man who broke into her room that night sounded very young.

Definitely no more than thirty years old.

After Ji Yuanan made a simple self-introduction, he was greeted by the look of the goddess-like woman in front of him who was first shocked and then questioning.

He covered his lips and coughed lightly, "This floor is used to entertain distinguished guests. Anyone who can come up has been confirmed through many layers. No one will be bold enough to pretend to be the person in charge of Tongbao Bank."

After saying that, Ji Yuanan looked at her a few more times, feeling confused——

Why do these clothes and this posture look so familiar?

Qin Zhaozhao quickly recovered his thoughts and said, "Sorry, I lost my temper."

She got to the point, "Presumably the shopkeeper just now has informed me of my request. When Boss Ji comes here, he must be planning to give me an answer, right?"

"Of course." Ji Yuan'an said, "It's not difficult for you to know the news about Chaisang Qin family, but most people nowadays keep it secret for fear of violating the taboo and don't want to mention it more."

Ji Yuanan handed the initiative to her, "It would be troublesome to start from the beginning. Since you are asking about this matter, you must already know a lot."

"How about you ask and I answer, and we save each other's time?"

Qin Zhaozhao's eyes were a little strange, and he always felt that the person in front of him seemed to have something to say, but the plan he proposed really saved time and effort.

Not wanting to think too much, she asked, "Is there any evidence that the Qin family collaborated with the enemy and treason?"

Ji Yuanan narrowed his eyes slightly, "It is rumored that King Huainan collected treasonous letters in the Qin family's study and presented them to His Majesty."

Qin Zhaozhao asked, "Your Majesty did not investigate and just allowed King Huainan to be convicted?"

Ji Yuan'an returned, "Qin Yuanming kidnapped Princess Ming'an and assassinated the King of Huainan. According to the laws of the dynasty, he shall be sentenced to death."

"The King of Huainan defended himself as self-protection, there is nothing wrong with that."

Qin Zhaozhao felt a trace of anger in his heart and took a deep breath, "Many people have been guilty of collaborating with the enemy and treason throughout the ages. Why is it so secretive about the Qin family?"

Ji Yuan'an said: "Master Qin was once the Crown Prince's Grand Master, and was regarded as his right-hand man. Perhaps His Majesty was heartbroken and did not want to mention it to others. This can be regarded as leaving the last dignity to this old friend who was both a minister and a friend."

Qin Zhaozhao was stunned. Is it just that simple?

Her mind was spinning rapidly, as if something flashed across her mind, and when she thought of what he said, she actually heard the deep meaning in his mouth.

Those who have been emperors since ancient times hate those who collaborate with the enemy and treason the most, and wish to tear them into pieces.

"That's not right." Qin Zhaozhao was always deeply immersed in the grief of revenge, ignoring the key points that he should figure out.

"Your Majesty doesn't believe it, right?" She pointed out the key point at once, "If the Qin family really collaborates with the enemy and treason, it will be a major crime against the nine clans."

"But the distant relatives of the Qin family are still alive and well."

There was a burning light in Qin Zhaozhao's eyes, and she keenly captured the key point that she had missed, "The reason why the world really keeps this secret is the king of Huainan, Yan Yudun."

Ji Yuanan just pursed his lips and smiled silently.

But the horror in his eyes could not be concealed.

Except for that freak Xie Zhihuan, there is no one in the world who can glean the key from just three or two sentences.

Prying into the emperor's heart?Even officials in the court cannot do it, let alone ordinary women in the boudoir, they dare not even mention it.

But the person in front of him did it easily. If he was not familiar with the affairs of the court, or someone who knew the character of Emperor Ming, he would never be able to do it.

Even though Xie Zhihuan was in a position where one person was inferior to ten thousand people, he would not dare to make such an assertion.

Who is this woman?

A fine pain spread across Qin Zhaozhao's forehead. She took a deep breath and tried to suppress the thought of her old friend appearing in her mind.

"I have another question."

"Where are the bones of the Qin family?"

Ji Yuanan's eyebrows twitched, and he twitched the corners of his mouth, "The girl asked this, is she an old friend of the Qin family?"

"No." Qin Zhaozhao said subconsciously, "It's just that I was favored by their family and didn't want my benefactor's body to be exposed in the wilderness and end up in such a miserable situation."

Ji Yuanan obviously didn't believe it.

He took in Qin Zhaozhao's expression and replied, "Don't worry, someone had already gone to collect the body when the incident happened."

Qin Zhaozhao was stunned, "Who?"

Ji Yuanan shook his head, "Sorry, I can't reveal this."

Qin Zhaozhao refused to give up, "You can always tell me where the tombstone is?"

Ji Yuanan refused, "Girl, you can rest assured that the Qin Family Tomb is still there, but it's just that it hasn't seen the light of day yet."

He saw Qin Zhaozhao's visible loss. It's always heartbreaking to be so beautiful. He couldn't help but feel relieved, "Maybe one day..."

Before Ji Yuanan finished speaking, the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground was heard from across the wall.

He suddenly retracted what he was about to say and stood up in a hurry.

"I've told you everything the girl wants to know."

"If nothing happens, I will retire."

Qin Zhaozhao came to his senses, stood up and bowed.

"Thank you, Boss Ji."

"But... I have one last thing."

Ji Yuanan almost missed the mark when he stepped out. He held on to the door frame with quick eyes and twitching eyes.

Qin Zhaozhao said, "Please help me find a bodyguard for me."

"You have to be good at hiding, and you'd better have strong martial arts, be good at light kung fu, and know how to detect poisons."

"The most important thing is to be strict with your mouth and obey my orders. Don't act without my orders."

Ji Yuanan cast a somewhat resentful look, "Girl, if there was such a useful person, I would have..."

Halfway through the words, there was another movement next door.

Qin Zhaozhao frowned slightly and glanced at the wall with a thoughtful expression.

Ji Yuanan's whole body trembled, and he suddenly turned around and said, "No problem, I'll introduce it to you later."

"But girl, everyone who does transactions in my bank needs to leave their names." Ji Yuanan rolled his eyes and put on a serious expression, "Especially if you use the general seal, every time you make a transaction, it will be counted as a gift to you. The token belongs to the person’s account.”

Qin Zhaozhao was stunned. She really didn't know this rule.

Of course, she didn't know that Ji Yuanan had made it up.

Qin Zhaozhao hesitated, "Will the content of my transaction...be known to that person?"

Ji Yuanan smiled, "Of course I will, but don't worry, only that one person knows."

"If the transaction you make is inappropriate, he will send someone to contact you to terminate the transaction and withdraw the general seal."

Qin Zhaozhao sighed. Sure enough, there is nothing completely secret in the world.

She recalled that her question might have seemed strange, but she could never guess the intention of her question.

Thinking of this, Qin Zhaozhao nodded, "If the guard comes, please let him go to the Gu family to find me."

Ji Yuanan was stunned, "Gu family?"

He blinked, and the woman in front of him gradually overlapped with the figure of the person he saw in Linglong Pavilion.

Then his tone suddenly rose, "Are you the Gu eldest daughter, Qin Zhaozhao?"

That General Nie's niece?

Is she the eldest lady of the Gu family?
