Reborn Farmhouse Restaurant [Transmigration Book]

However, in more than ten days, the news that Geng Anmin was sent to the prison for strict interrogation spread widely. Knowing that the corrupt officials were imprisoned, the common people clapped their hands and applauded. Even in the restaurant, there were many discussions. Du Qingchen sat at the counter and looked Looking at the account book, casually listening to the guests chatting.

"I heard that when the imperial court sent people to ransack the house, they confiscated several hundred thousand taels of silver from the Geng Mansion! There were also various antique calligraphy and paintings, and several carriages were transported outside."

"Yes! Although there are many high-ranking officials and dignitaries in the capital, and there are countless silver treasures, he is only a poor scholar. How can he save such a fortune in just over ten years? There is a saying What? I was born with mud legs, and I was afraid of poverty. I couldn’t take my eyes away from Qian, and finally fell into Qian’s eyes and died on it.”

"Didn't you say that Mr. Geng belongs to the fifth prince? The fifth prince doesn't protect him?"

"Who said you didn't protect me? I did! I heard that the Fifth Prince pleaded for Geng in the court, and he knelt down and begged in front of all civil and military officials! As a result, the laws of the country are ruthless. You can't just let the Fifth Prince plead for mercy." Right! But the fifth prince still took care of those family members who were not sentenced for him, and bought land for him to house these people."

"It's my best effort."

"Who said no?!"

Gu Gao waved his folding fan, walked in with a proud look, saw Du Qingchen settling accounts in front of the counter, walked quickly to Du Qingchen's side, "Brother Du, you are a person who does big things, and you still look at these small accounts? "Gu Gao made a look of disdain.

Du Qingchen had already closed the ledger, he didn't want to explain that these ledgers belonged not only to this shop, but also to restaurants and restaurants in other places, so he just smiled and said, "Brother Gu has been busy for the past few days, so why come to me today?" here?"

Speaking of this, Gu Gao excitedly raised his hand and patted Du Qingchen's shoulder, "My good brother, you've done a great job this time!" As he spoke, Gu Gao moved closer, "I don't know if there are any more... "

"Brother Gu, let's sit in the private room!" Du Qingchen's expression turned cold.

Gu Gao said with a smile: "It should be, it should be, there are many people here. Hehe..."

Du Qingchen let out a sigh of relief, and heeled up. In the private room, Gu Gao seemed to have tasted the sweetness of Geng Anmin's incident. He got the news from Du Qingchen, and then used it to claim credit for the third prince and eradicate political enemies for the third prince. It's smooth, not difficult to do, and it's a good thing that can make the master remember the merits, and I haven't come across a single one in a few years!

Gu Gao moved closer, "Brother Du, is there any news you can tell me?"

Du Qingchen made a troubled face, "Brother Gu, there are so many things like this. After all, I'm not one of their people. What I can get in touch with are only small things. Besides, how much can I know!"

The truth is the same, Gu Gao was a little disappointed, nodded and said: "That's right, I made it hard for you, take your time, this matter is not urgent."

Du Qingchen heard the meaning in Gu Gao's words, and seemed to want him to continue with his original plan for the time being, so he said anxiously: "I don't know when I will be able to recognize my ancestors and return to my ancestors with my husband? "

After hearing this, Gu Gao immediately waved his hand. He reported this matter to the third prince, and the third prince also felt that Du Qingchen's temporary stay with the fifth prince would be more useful, so he was not in a hurry to reverse the case for the Houfu. After all, compared to usual It's not very useful, the incompetent Lord Ning, Du Qingchen is much more useful at the moment, it's better to let Ninghou stay in prison for a while, and let Du Qingchen work as an undercover agent for a while longer.

"This matter is not urgent, Brother Du, don't you want to do more meritorious deeds? These masters will remember it, and in the future, it will all be done by the dragon! You can never tell, Brother Du, what great things you have accomplished, in the future , your son’s title doesn’t need to be downgraded, he can still be a Marquis! Then aren’t you the Marquis’s father?!”

Du Qingchen seemed a little moved, couldn't help swallowing, and said: "What you said... makes sense! Then I'll think about it again, and think about what else I can do."

Du Qingchen frowned and thought hard, Gu Gao raised his glass with satisfaction, and Du Qingchen hesitated and said: "I don't know if it counts! I once heard Qi Cheng mention a person's name by accident, saying that he was invited to have dinner with him, but When I asked again, he refused to admit it, and only said that I heard it wrong, and I still don’t know if I heard it wrong.”

Gu Gao was startled, "Who is it?"

"I remember his surname seems to be Jiang... two words, what's his name?" Du Qingchen patted his head.

"Jiang Chuan!" Gu Gao subconsciously said.

"Yes, yes! It seems to be called this name, and I can't remember it clearly. It happened half a month ago. I only heard this name once, and I don't know him, let alone if he belongs to the fifth prince. People." Du Qingchen hesitated and waved his hands again and again, "Forget it, forget it, forget it! It was because you had to tempt me with the position of Marquis just now, that I thought about it, and it didn't seem to be of any use! "

Gu Gao's heart trembled, but he still suppressed the panic in his heart and nodded with difficulty, "Yes! There is nothing you can do with just such a name! If you want to bring down the people under the fifth prince's family, you still need to have evidence. , at least know where to look for evidence.”

Du Qingchen smiled slightly, "Yeah! That's why I think this person's name is useless. I just heard Qi Cheng mention it like that. He said it casually when he was drunk, but later he refused to admit it. I have no proof. There is nothing that can pull him down, this time, I won't be able to help you, nor can I help the Third Prince."

Gu Gao nodded unsteadily. After sitting for a while, he still stood up and said, "Well, I still have some things to do at home. I'm afraid I can't sit for a long time. That's it for today. If you have any news, please send me a letter." Son."

Du Qingchen nodded, "That's for sure." After saying that, he got up to send Gu Gao out.

After Gu Gao left, Du Qingchen sneered and returned to the counter.

On the street, Gu Gaoshensi didn't belong, he even got into the carriage several times, and almost couldn't climb up, but he had to hurry to the third prince's residence, this matter was of great importance, and he had to report it to the third prince as soon as possible. OK!

Jiang Chuan is a general who was transferred back from other places by the third prince to fight with Qi Cheng. He is in charge of almost [-]% of the third prince's military force in Beijing. If he is actually a member of the fifth prince, the consequences will be terrible!

It is strange to think about it now. Jiang Chuan has never participated in the battle for the heir apparent, and the third prince has invited him many times. It's so strange to return to Beijing to work for the third prince and compete with Qi Cheng after years of operating in other places!The third prince also doubted his purpose, but after all he was reluctant to let go of this general, so he reluctantly suppressed his suspicion and reused it on him.

Few people know about this matter, and it is also a recent matter. The third prince deliberately concealed it, and he also wanted to use Jiang Chuan as a dark chess game at the last moment. He had only vaguely heard about this matter after he became a confidant of the third prince. As far as he knew, there were only three or four people who knew about it. Du Qingchen had no reason to be clear about it!The Fifth Prince shouldn't even know!So... Could it be true what Du Qingchen said? !

Gu Gao hurriedly asked someone to drive to the Third Prince's Mansion.

Du Qingchen went back to the counter and continued to look through the accounts with a calm expression.

Jiang Chuan never won the wholehearted trust of the third prince in the original book, but at the last moment, when the fifth prince forced the palace, he led the soldiers under his jurisdiction to fight endlessly with the soldiers under Qi Cheng's jurisdiction, and finally ended tragically. , all killed.

The reason why Du Qingchen had an impression of him was that his death was indeed a bit tragic, and after his death, the third prince cried bitterly while holding his body, crying out his remorse, and calling Jiang Chuan Uncle Jiang , The scene was so tragic that it made people cry when they saw the sad. Qi Cheng even returned Jiang Chuan's body to the third prince, and then locked him up in the prince's mansion, waiting for disposal.

The book never mentioned why Jiang Chuan was like this in the main plot line, but it described a memory of Jiang Chuan himself when Jiang Chuan was dying.

The peach is young, its flowers are scorching, and the son returns home, suitable for his family.In the peach blossom forest, Muai boy fell in love with a young girl at first sight, but unfortunately, the girl's home is not the boy's home, but the royal family.In the end, the girl married into the court and reached the sky in one step, while the boy went to other places and devoted his love to the battlefield from then on.

Later, the girl became a scheming queen, a queen who loved the world, and even died of painstaking efforts in her son's battle for the heir apparent.The young man finally realized that what he should do was not to flee far away, but to stay by her side and accompany her. Even if he couldn't stay together in this life, he still wanted to send her straight to Qingyun, to be above all ten thousand people!Unfortunately, it was too late to wake up, Yi Ren had passed away, leaving only one son.Therefore, Jiang Chuan gave up half his life's work and returned to the court, wanting to protect the only son of his sweetheart, but in the end he died tragically in the struggle for succession.

Such a person cannot be trusted by the third prince, but is extremely important to the third prince. The third prince is forced to reuse him, suppress his suspicions and use him. If Du Qingchen doesn't take him into action, he will feel sorry for himself for reading the original book.

But Du Qingchen had to admit Qi Cheng's vision throughout the whole book. When Qi recognized the Lord, he really picked the most black-bellied and ruthless prince to assist him, but also the most emperor-like prince.The fifth prince would not make such a mistake. Although the fifth prince personally killed his eighth younger brother in the book, angered the old emperor to death, and climbed to the throne with bones all the way, but he is really suspicious. , in normal times, I am also willing to show a gentle and generous attitude of a benevolent monarch. It belongs to the kind of gentlemen who are usually refined, but when the matter is important, they can do any ruthless thing, and there will be no ruthless people with emotional fluctuations .

In the third prince's mansion, Gu Gao panicked and reported the news from Du Qingchen. The third prince was still skeptical, "Are you sure he's talking about Jiang Chuan? Could it be..." The third prince hesitated, after all, the importance of Jiang Chuan But it's completely different from Geng Anmin. He can trust Du Qingchen freely about Geng Anmin, but absolutely not about Jiang Chuan!In the eyes of the third prince, even Marquis Ning couldn't compare with Jiang Chuan.

"Du Qingchen didn't do it on purpose, did he? He actually followed the fifth child. The reason why he said this was just to make His Highness cut off his arm!" The third prince said vigilantly.

Gu Gao knelt in the study room, kowtowed a few times, and said: "Master, General Jiang Chuan was transferred back to Beijing normally, who would know that he secretly joined the master! A few years ago, the master showed his favor to him with great fanfare. , he was unmoved, and even returned all the gifts, how could it be so fast!"

The third prince never knew about the relationship between Jiang Chuan and the empress, so he didn't understand the origin of Jiang Chuan's strange behavior at all. When Gu Gao mentioned it, the doubts in the third prince's heart gained the upper hand again, but he would not be so easy after all. I believed it, and said: "You go and check Jiang Chuan's movements since he entered Beijing, and see if he has contact with Qi Cheng."

"Yes." Gu Gao received the order, and the third prince asked him to retreat.

After walking around in the study several times, the third prince finally called the secret guard, "Send a letter to the spy next to Lao Wu, asking him to pay attention to whether Lao Wu is aware of Jiang Chuan's affairs."

"As ordered."

"Let people keep watching Du Qingchen and Jiang Chuan again!" The third prince gritted his teeth.

"I obey." After a black shadow replied, it disappeared without a sound, as if it had never existed.

Du Qingchen is currently checking the accounts in the store steadily. He doesn't even have to go home during lunch, the store has his own private room, and a barbecue is done. It seems that the counter is too noisy and uncomfortable , Du Qingchen simply moved all the ledgers to the barbecue room, spread them out on the soft couch, went to grill slices of meat from time to time, and then came back to read two pages of ledgers, doing calculations, very carefree.

The hidden guard finally found where Du Qingchen was, and walked around the room again, and finally chose the roof. The side that passers-by couldn't see was hidden, and a tile was lifted to peek inside. He rushed forward, provoking the well-trained hidden guards, who couldn't help swallowing.

After Du Qingchen had eaten and drank enough, he did not turn off the stove. There was still a small cup of brains stewed on the stove, bubbling and emitting an aroma.

Du Qingchen didn't intend to tell Gu Gao about Jiang Chuan and tell Qi Cheng that he was playing with his confession. The third prince was suspicious. The more evidence he was given, the less he would believe it. On the contrary, he couldn't find anything. , he believed that his confession was true.After all, for the third prince, it is too coincidental that he provided a confession here, and the evidence was found by the fifth prince there. To deal with such a suspicious person, give him a doubt, but he can never prove it. enough.

Moreover, Du Qingchen couldn't explain why he knew Jiang Chuan's affairs at all. Some things can be told to people like Gu Gao, but it is difficult to hide it from Qi Cheng, Shaoqing or even the fifth prince. Also, maybe the fifth prince and his party They didn't even know about Jiang Chuan's details. In the original book, Qi Cheng didn't realize that he secretly voted for the third prince until he confronted Jiang Chuan in the original book, and he regretted it for a long time. Therefore, Du Qingchen couldn't mention it, and simply did it at will.

Du Qingchen took a nap after lunch before getting up to work. The secret guard followed Du Qingchen for a day, watching him eating barbecue, watching him sleep on his back, watching him reconcile the account book, watching him train the manager, watching him follow the They were talking about business, and then they ate a barbecue, probably because they ate too much, and they also used a set of soft and weird fists to digest food...

It wasn't until he returned to his job after changing shifts that the dark guard was finally relieved, and then changed into casual clothes and went to Du Qingchen's shop to have a barbecue.
