After being reborn, he was doted on by his scumbag brother.

Jamel Xiao glanced at Gu Jingan, a little confused.

Gu Jingan whispered in Jamel Xiao’s ear: “Jingxuan, don’t you think there is something wrong with the two of them? Let’s stay for this meal, maybe we can come up with something to say. Besides, the dishes have already been prepared. If we don’t eat it, it will be wasted. This meal will be treated as a reward to the brothers, and I will have the extra food wrapped and given to the refugees outside the city, which can be regarded as a relief for them."

After listening to Gu Jingan's words, Jamel Xiao felt that there was some truth and nodded.

Jamel Xiao looked back at Tao Guang, "Now that the food is ready, I will give Master Tao some face, but I will not be so extravagant in the future."

Seeing Jamel Xiao change his mind, Tao Guangda was happy, thinking that the fifth prince was really pretending just now.

He couldn't agree directly in front of so many subordinates, so he pretended to be angry and reprimanded him. After he finished explaining, he agreed, saying that he couldn't waste food.

Tao Guang felt proud, as he knew that no one disliked being flattered.

It seemed that he still had hope. If the meal was finished, even if the fifth prince really found out something, he would not pursue it.

"Yes, please."

There were four people at the table, each with their own interests in mind, and the meal was surprisingly enjoyable.

Gu Jing'an had been tricking the two of them overtly and covertly, and he really found some clues.

Tao Guang and Zheng Haojie were extremely flattering and kept trying to please Jamel Xiao and Gu Jingan.

Gu Jing'an smiled at the two of them just to make a joke. They all thought that the flattery was in the right place and they were very happy.

Although Jamel Xiao didn't speak much and had been observing the conversation between the three of them, he also cooperated with Gu Jing'an intentionally or unintentionally. Tao Guang and Zheng Haojie didn't notice anything wrong.

After dinner, Tao Guang arranged for Jamel Xiao and Gu Jing'an to move into the Tao Mansion, and arranged for servants to serve them.

After the two settled down, they retreated from the servants and talked alone.

"Jingxuan, you heard the conversation just now. Do you think there is something wrong with them?"

Jamel Xiao nodded when he heard this, "Indeed, especially Tao Guang, have you noticed that since we saw him, the people passing by seemed to be afraid of him, for fear of offending him. You can tell by looking at his appearance today , he usually has no shortage of money and spends generously. Since Mingyu Tower is the best restaurant in Qinnan, there should be a lot of dignitaries coming here on weekdays. It is really abnormal for the waiter to the shopkeeper to treat him with respect to a small water conservancy engineer. .”

Gu Jing'an agreed: "I feel the same way. He mentioned the prefect repeatedly today and sounded very proud. Maybe there is some relationship between them. Otherwise, how could he, a small water conservancy engineer, often put the prefect on the list? On the lips. And look at his mansion, which is also extremely luxurious. With his working as a water conservancy engineer, how can he afford to live in such a good house?"

"It does feel that he is very wealthy in terms of money, which is indeed very unusual. I have been thinking these days that the national treasury spends so much money to build dams every year, how can it not be able to withstand even a flood. Now I see the two of them. , I have an idea, maybe they cut corners."

Gu Jingan nodded when he heard this, "I think it's very possible. The two of them are very cunning at first glance. If they really have the support of the prefect, they will definitely be able to do such a thing."

Jamel Xiao thought for a moment, "They have just been preventing us from starting the investigation today. They must be dragging us away, fearing that they have some evil intentions. I will ask Jingshan to investigate Tao Guang and Zheng Haojie later. Tomorrow we will go to the dike to check and confirm A talented guess."

Jingshan is one of the secret guards trained by Jamel Xiao. He is good at finding out information and is deeply trusted by Jamel Xiao.

"Okay, tomorrow we will go to see the embankment and question them both. Although these two smooth-talking guys are difficult to deal with, if we ask more, one sentence may reveal the truth."

Jamel Xiao nodded when he heard this, "There is another person we need to meet. Didn't you notice that an important person didn't show up today?"

Gu Jingan was a little puzzled when he heard this, "Important person? Are you referring to the Qinan Prefect?"

Jamel Xiao shook his head, "We want to meet this governor, but we have to wait until the relationship between him and Tao Guang is investigated clearly, and then I am talking about someone else. Tao Guang and Zheng Haojie are indeed the officials responsible for the construction of the dam, but first The person who handled the matter was not them, but the director of the channel. Logically speaking, the first person in charge should come to see us today, but he did not show up today, which is also very strange."

After hearing Jamel Xiao's words, Gu Jingan suddenly realized, "It's a bit strange for you to say that, but Tao Guang and Zheng Haojie are so naughty, don't they want him to have the opportunity to show off in front of us? The two of them held such a gorgeous banquet today. , isn’t it just to curry favor with us? It’s normal to not want other people to get a piece of the pie.”

Jamel Xiao felt that Gu Jingan’s analysis was reasonable, “Oh, if they had spent half of their flattery on the construction of the dam, they would not have caused such a big disaster. But there is another possibility that the two of them took the lead in this matter. Yes, the canal leader is an accomplice, they are afraid that he will show his weakness in front of us, so they did not dare to let him come today."

"It makes sense for you to say that. They must not have good intentions anyway. Even if this incident has nothing to do with them, they are not good people. They have done many bad things on weekdays. Otherwise, why would the people be so afraid of them."

Jamel Xiao sneered when he heard this, "Yeah, maybe this time we can get rid of these cancers for the people of Qinan, which can be regarded as doing a good thing for them."

"But Jingxuan, do you think Tao Guang knows Xiao Jingyi? According to Qingyao, Ji Lei is Xiao Jingyi's person. Will they be related because of this? So far we have not encountered any danger. , we just don’t know when Xiao Jingyi will take action, so we still have to be more careful.”

Talking about Jamel Xiao, Jamel Xiao sighed, "As the saying goes, it's easy to dodge an open weapon but hard to prevent a hidden one. Who knows what dirty tricks he will use, I'm afraid no matter how careful we are, we still can't avoid his plot."

"Who says it's not the case? Sister Qingyao will definitely be worried about you every day. I'm extremely glad now that I didn't tell Wan'er the truth, otherwise I don't know how worried she would be. By the way, we have arrived safely, and we will give you tonight Let them write a letter, so that they can feel more at ease."

When she thought that Lin Qingyao was missing him, Jamel Xiao, her heart warmed, but his trip this time made her worried all the time, and she couldn't bear it.

I hope that receiving his letter will give Yao'er some relief, but he wrote today and it will be three days at the earliest for Lin Qingyao to receive it.
