Sure enough, because of the upcoming war, the black market transactions were also affected. The original trading day that was once every three days has been changed to once every ten days. Now that even the date is uncertain, Qi Yue has to postpone the matter.

This morning, when she was seeing a doctor in the pharmacy, Lin Qun, dressed in official uniform, suddenly came, followed by a man in black clothes.

Asking Mrs. Zhang to greet people, she finished looking at the patients in her hands before walking over to greet Lin Qun.

"Miss Qi, let me introduce you. This is Zheng Fanglue from the capital. He is very interested in the theft in your house and wants to know more about it."

But when she saw that Zheng Fanglue had sunken eyes and was thin, half like a human and half like a ghost, Qi Yue shrank in her heart.

She lost her money and attracted people from the capital? I don’t know if I came here on purpose or just by chance?

At that moment, he pretended to be sad that he had lost a huge amount of money.

"It's a trivial matter that troubles you to come here, but now the money disappeared overnight, where can I find it back. If you want to know the situation, you can ask my mother-in-law. She knows the whole thing best."

She mainly felt that it would be better if Mrs. Zhang's true character played the role.

After hearing this, Lin Qun nodded slightly and said a few words to Zheng Fanglue.

Several people went to the side to ask Mrs. Zhang.

Qi Yue naturally went back to continue seeing the doctor.

He just looked askance at a few people asking questions.

Although it had been a few days since the silver coins were lost, Mrs. Zhang was still very angry when she mentioned the situation at that time.

In addition, she now knows that Hu Chengxuan surrounded her in the box, and she is suspicious of the Hu family both inside and outside her words.

"Master Zheng, you are from the capital of the country, so you must be able to control this Lord Commander! He is angry that my young lady refused to see a doctor, and he is greedy for money, so he did such a thing."

Qi Yue just shook her head secretly after hearing this.

The reason she told Lin Qun that day that she suspected it was the Hu family was just to cause some trouble for Hu Chengxuan.

Hu Chengxuan was deeply trusted by the court, otherwise she would not have been stationed in Longnanling for six years after her father died in the war. Such a few false accusations could not move him.

Besides, Hu Chengxuan's house shouldn't have a lot of money. Even if the man named Zheng went to the Hu house to search, there would be no evidence.

More importantly, seeing that the border war was about to break out, the imperial court would never be dissatisfied with Hu Chengxuan when employing people.

Sure enough, after Mrs. Zhang finished speaking, Zheng Fanglue suddenly said seriously, "Hu Junwei has an important responsibility and will never do such sneaky things. If he makes such remarks again in the future, he will be severely punished by military law!"

This woman was also not afraid of death, so she howled directly.

"Then my eldest lady's money is just gone?"

Zheng Fanglue stood up, said something with cold eyes and walked away.

Suddenly Lin Qun and Mrs. Zhang fell silent.

Qi Yue was curious and hurriedly walked over after the consultation.

"Mother Zhang, what's wrong?"

Before she could speak, Lin Qun spoke first.

"Master Zheng said that this batch of silver was stolen by the thief Gu Yang. I'm afraid I won't be able to get it back."

After that, he said some words of comfort.

The general idea was that he had already investigated and since the silver was stolen by Thief Gu Yang, there was nothing he could do about it. If he lost it, he would suffer a hidden loss.

Of course Qi Yue knew that he did this for Chu Yuntian's sake.

In addition, her money was not lost at all, and it was not easy for anyone to investigate further, so the matter was revealed.

However, she and Lin Qun found out that Zheng Fanglue did not come here specifically for her case, but had been here for a long time on errands and came here after hearing about this strange theft case.

Qi Yue suddenly became suspicious, and she always felt that Zheng Fang had some temperament common to bad people.

Dark bird of prey, cold and harsh...

She originally thought that the matter would be over, but when it was time to light the lantern that night, Zheng Fanglue suddenly came.

This thin man looked more and more like a ghost under the lamplight at night.

Qi Yue didn't know what he was doing, so she had to order people to entertain him well.

After all, on the surface, he comes from the capital, so he shouldn't be too indifferent.

"Miss Qi, when did you reconcile with Mr. Zhao Xiaohou?"

As soon as he asked this question, Qi Yue was already very sure that Zheng Fanglue was a bad person, so he immediately answered honestly.

"The second month after arriving at Northridge."

"Why Heli?"

"Why is this possible? I can't be trapped in Beiling and be an exile for the rest of my life!"

Hearing this, Zheng Fanglue twitched the corners of his lips twice. Qi Yue happened to see it and felt a little impatient.

She finally understood. She went to the hospital to talk to her about the theft case in the morning, probably to test and observe her. What happened tonight was her real purpose.

"I dare to ask, sir, what is the purpose of your visit this time? Is it possible that my divorce or not has something to do with the missing silver?"

Sure enough, Zheng Fanglue stood up, his thin face with an unpredictable expression under the dim light.

He took out a sign from his pocket and said with a half-smile, "Do you recognize this?"

Qi Yue's pupils shrank, and Zheng Fanglue laughed at the top of his voice, quacking like a drake.

"Miss Qi, let me ask you an answer. This is what you should do most now."

"I didn't expect him to be a bad person. Qi Yue was offended."

Qi Yue said she was offended, but she was full of momentum, without any hint of fear.

Mr. Zheng snorted slightly and took the sign back.

"In that case, I will speak frankly. Is it because you and Li discovered the treasure map in the book?"

Seeing that Qi Yue remained silent, Zheng Fanglue had a slightly proud look on his face.

"We have found out clearly that after you reconciled, you left Longnanling and went to Xichu, and then you returned again."

"We also found out that the national treasure is not in Xichu. You must have discovered this reason and came back here."

"Now you are pretending to open a pharmacy here, but you are actually trying to obtain the national treasure, right?"

The logic of these words was strict, and there was an atmosphere of the past everywhere, but Qi Yue just wanted to laugh.

Does this bad guy act based on assumptions?

Because Huang Zai'an refused to leave Beiling until his death, she concluded that the national treasure was located somewhere in Longnan Ridge. But how did the bad guy know about it?

Is it really like what Zheng Fanglue said because she took the He Li Shu but refused to leave?

"Why are you laughing? Why don't you quickly take out the treasure map!"

Qi Yue never liked being pointed at by others, let alone being pointed at and accused of being wronged!

"I laughed at you for being stupid!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she had already shot out like a sharp sword. In an instant, she raised the knife and dropped it. Zheng Fanglie screamed and one of his fingers fell to the ground.

"You...how dare you attack me? Do you know who I am?"

Zheng Fanglue held his hands, his eyes ferocious.

"Whoever you are, if you dare to come to my house and be arrogant, you should be prepared to pay the price." Qi Yue sneered, "Besides, I will make it clear to you that I will not hide any treasure maps you want. I don’t know.”

As soon as she called to see off the guests, Mrs. Zhang came in from outside the hall. Not only did she drive Zheng Fanglue out, but she also asked someone to scan half of the fingers and throw them out the door.

Qi Yue couldn't help but look surprised.

When they first started, all the maids and women hid far away, but she remained outside the hall without moving.

He lowered his head and closed his eyes, like a statue.

It seems that this woman is no ordinary person!
