Chapter 49 The man is affectionate and the concubine is interested

"Treasure Pavilion."

Hearing Han Fei mention Jubao Pavilion and asking him to come here, it seems that Han Fei has collected some information.

"What do you want to say, Brother Han?"

Han Fei didn't know whether his speculation was true, but all the information pointed to one person, Chang'an Jun Chengjiao.

He had to believe that all this was indeed inextricably linked to Cheng Jiao.

"Zifang and I just came back from Uncle Wang's place, and I came to look for you. Do you know why, Lord Chang'an?"

Cheng Jiao looked around and asked, "Where's Zifang?"

"Zifang is now at the homes of the two uncles. I have already asked my father to temporarily put the two uncles in jail. I am waiting for my father's permission."

"Was it Anping Jun and Longquan Jun who were responsible for the robbery of the ghost soldiers?"

Cheng Jiao naturally knew what was going on with the ghost soldiers robbing the pay. The reason why he asked Han Fei for confirmation again was because he wanted to see how much Han Fei valued Jubao Pavilion.

If he guessed correctly, it was probably Anping Jun and Longquan Jun who invested money in it, and it was probably a lot of money.

"After preliminary analysis, the two uncles are major suspects. From some details, it can be seen that the two uncles knew that the military pay would be lost. For example, the third uncle ordered his servants in advance to cook the dragon bone and eight treasures soup, which takes nine hours to make. For example, he knew that water-dissolving gold would dissolve in water and be flammable. Of course, Lord Chang'an does not need to know too much about this matter."

Under Han Fei's gaze, Cheng Jiao was calm and composed, not panicking at all: "In that case, why don't you continue to investigate further, Brother Han, but come to me instead?"

Han Fei stopped testing: "When I exposed the two uncles, they did the same thing at the same time."

"what's up?"

"Tell the butler to deliver the gold coins in the vault to the now popular Treasure Pavilion."

"Is it the Treasure Pavilion run by Emerald Tiger?"

"Everyone in Xinzheng knows that Jubao Pavilion is owned by Chang'an Jun and is managed by Feicuihu."

"Oh? Brother Han can be trusted?"

Han Fei was silent. If Cheng Jiao and Emerald Tiger were working together, then Ji Wuye must be behind them. He couldn't tell whether Cheng Jiao and Ji Wuye had something to hide.

Through this brief conversation, it can be confirmed that Cheng Jiao knew about Jubao Pavilion, and also knew that Feicuihu was using his name to make money.

If Cheng Jiao had nothing to do with the matter, he could have proved his innocence. Even if Feicuihu had Ji Wuye's support, he would have to accept the punishment for blatantly using the name of a noble.

But Cheng Jiao did not take any action. Instead, he let it go. The hidden problem made Han Fei silent.

Cheng Jiao's identity is complicated and Ji Wuye's power is huge. If the two are intertwined, Jubao Pavilion is by no means a simple chamber of commerce engaged in trade in various countries.

“Whether you believe it or not, it’s not about right or wrong.”

Han Fei had a headache. He shouldn't have been so anxious to meet Cheng Jiao. He didn't expect that this fellow who often went to places of entertainment with him seemed to be a villain behind the scenes.

Cheng Jiao remained silent, laughing secretly in his heart. He needed Han Fei to know the purpose and significance of the existence of Jubao Pavilion, but he couldn't let him say it.

Smart people prefer to argue and summarize based on what they see.

Han Fei left, leaving very resolutely, and even resisted Cheng Jiao's offer to treat him to dinner tonight.

"It's my treat, really!"

"No need to invite today!"

"you sure?"

"Don't go!"

"You will regret this!"

"No!" Han Fei shook his head. He had just made an appointment with Prime Minister Zhang and was busy with a case. How could he have time to drink and have fun at night?

A smile appeared on Cheng Jiao's lips. You are so determined, okay?

That night.

"Mr. Nine is really in a good mood. Which girl are you looking for today?"

"No, I want to find a man today."

"You came to Zilanxuan to find a man?"

"Yes, that's the man who was drinking next door last time."

Zi Nu sighed and shook her head.

"Come out."

Han Fei wondered, was there anyone waiting for him?
"Brother Han, I'll treat you tonight, how about that?"

Han Fei watched Cheng Jiao appear from behind Zi Nu, hugging her and looking at him proudly.

"Why is Chang'an Jun here too?"

Han Fei was embarrassed. He went back and reviewed everything that had happened since he returned to Xinzheng. When he saw the quaint box he got from Zi Nu, he thought of the young man with short gray hair he saw last time. He looked very much like the successor of Guiguzi whom he had heard of - Wei Zhuang, so he decided to visit him that night.

"Oh? You don't know? Aren't you going to find a man at Zi Lan Xuan? The man who drank next door last time? Wasn't it me? Holding the perfect match brewed by orchids, drinking it from the coral bottle of the blue sea, it's so refreshing!"

Cheng Jiao mercilessly gave Han Fei endless critical strikes.

He finally felt guilty and offered to invite Han Fei to drink, but was rejected. How could our family lose face?
"Hey, this, oops! I'm not looking for you!"

Han Fei's heart ached. The slap in the face came so fast like a tornado. He just wanted to handle the case well! What had he done wrong?

Zi Nu gave Cheng Jiao a cold look, her charming eyes silently saying, "Why are you so mean?"
Cheng Jiao stopped teasing Han Fei, hugged Zi Nu, and said to Han Fei.

"Don't be polite. You are a guest when you come. It's like coming to my house. Come on, I'll take you to see Wei Zhuang."

Zi Nu felt helpless about Cheng Jiao's attitude that Zi Lan Xuan was his home, but she did not object.

The more Han Fei listened, the more he felt that Cheng Jiao was asserting his sovereignty. How could Miss Zi Nu be so blind as to fall in love with him?

However, what caught his attention was that Cheng Jiao and Wei Zhuang knew each other and seemed to be quite familiar with each other. Things were becoming more and more confusing to him, and he needed a clue to solve the mystery.

Wei Zhuang is the best entry point. The simple box containing Guiguzi's principles explains everything.

Zi Nu and Cheng Jiao sat next to each other.

"This is the box that Miss Zi Nu exchanged with me that day in Qianlong Hall. The people are desolate and the world is in chaos. Among all the schools of thought, only I can dominate. When I am angry, the princes are afraid. When I live in peace, the world is at peace. But to accomplish this, I need your help."

"You accepted Zi Nu's unknown gift while accepting Zhang Liang's risky recommendation. It shows that you have already made your choice. Next, you have to prove to me that you are worthy of my help."

"Brother Wei Zhuang said it well. It seems that we have reached our first valuable consensus."

Cheng Jiao listened to Han Fei's analysis of the reasons and occasionally made commercial flattery.

Looking at Wei Zhuang's cold and arrogant, but very pleased expression.

Suddenly he leaned close to Zi Nu's ear and whispered, "Do you think they have been in love for a long time?"

Zi Nu subconsciously wanted to knock on Cheng Jiao's head to find out what he was thinking about.

But if you think about it carefully, before Han Fei returned to Han State, Wei Zhuang seemed to have started to act like he had been in a long-term relationship with Han Fei. As soon as Han Fei came back, he directly passed the clue to Han Fei without saying a word.

The thought was terrifying. Zi Nu glanced back and forth between Han Fei and Wei Zhuang.

Could it be that?
Zi Nu quickly threw away this ridiculous idea. She found herself becoming gay. It was too evil!
