34
After leaving the Sheng family, Jia Huan and the others left Yangzhou the next day.
They left secretly, leaving a substitute at Lin Ruhai's home and the Imperial City Division's branch.
They planned to go to Qiantang first to investigate the Night Banquet Painting.
Qiantang was not very far from Yangzhou. The two of them brought the 18 riders of Yan Yun forward lightly, so it did not take long for them to reach Qiantang.
The person in charge of receiving them was a hundred-man from the Qiantang branch of the Imperial City Bureau.
"Milords, this is the most famous tea shop in Qiantang, the Zhao family. Why don't you go and have a taste?”
The Embroidered Uniform Guard said to Jia Huan and Gu Qianfan.
He knew that Gu Qianfan was the deputy commander, but Jia Huan was even more shocked. The deputy commander was actually so respectful to this young master. Clearly, some important person had come to their Qiantang.
Looking at Gu Qianfan's questioning eyes, Jia Huan smiled.
"Of course, we have to take a look. We can go inside and exchange information.”
Hearing Jia Huan's words, Gu Qianfan nodded.
Then, the three of them entered the tea shop and saw a beautiful woman busy working.
When he saw this beautiful woman, Jia Huan was stunned on the spot. Although he had some guesses in his heart, she was, after all, a fairy sister.
However, when he really saw Zhao Pan 'er, he was still shocked by her face.
In Jia Huan's eyes, even Qin Keqing's face was slightly inferior to Zhao Pan 'er's. She was definitely the most beautiful woman he had ever seen.
Gu Qianfan's expression was calm. This guy was a straight man who didn't get close to women.
"Welcome, three guests."
When Zhao Pan 'er saw Jia Huan and the other two, she was slightly stunned. This was because the three of them, especially Jia Huan's clothes, looked extraordinary.
One had to know that she had wandered around the school, so it was obvious how good her eyesight was. She could tell at a glance that Jia Huan was either rich or noble.
"Shopkeeper's wife, give me three cups of Blue Phoenix Pith.”
Zhao Pan 'er smiled sweetly when she heard the Centurion Merchant's words.
"Alright."
Looking at Zhao Pan 'er's back, Gu Qianfan suddenly said to Jia Huan.
"This shopkeeper's wife isn't simple. Her skills aren't something ordinary girls can teach.”
Zhao Pan 'er's ears twitched. Clearly, she heard Gu Qianfan's words. This person had a foul mouth, which meant that Zhao Pan' er's background was not clean.
After all, these methods to please customers could only be learned in that kind of place.
"Alright, she's the tea shop's wife, don't talk nonsense.”
Jia Huan didn't like to talk about others behind their backs, so he said this to Gu Qianfan directly.
"Yes."
Gu Qianfan cupped his hands, his eyes twitching wildly. Gu Qianfan was the deputy commander of the Imperial City's Embroidered Guard! Jia Huan could actually say such things about Gu Qianfan. How high was his status?
Then, when the three of them were drinking tea, the old merchant could tell them what he knew.
In the end, he found out that the night banquet map was in Yang Zhiyuan's house and decided to take it out at night.
Before Gu Qianfan and Old Merchant could finish their words, Jia Huan interrupted them.
"Alright, the picture of Yang Zhiyuan's banquet is fake.”
Hearing Jia Huan's words, Gu Qianfan's entire body trembled. Could it be that Lord Marquis had already made all the adjustments?
Of course, Jia Huan didn't need to investigate because he knew the truth.
When Yang Zhiyuan wanted to get the night banquet map, it was actually a little threatening and tempting.
Then, Zhao Pan 'er was unwilling to give it to Ouyang Xu because she wanted to bring it to the capital so that she could bribe her master in the future.
Ouyang Xu had already given the painting to the former Prime Minister, Minister Ke.
Jia Huan slowly told Gu Qianfan all of this information, shocking him.
"As expected of Lord Marquis."
He thought to himself.
Jia Huan took another sip of tea and said to Gu Qianfan.
"The painting of a banquet is too sensitive. Minister Ke might not know yet, but the painting that disciple gave him was actually a painting of a banquet.”
"That's why we can't take the initiative to look for Minister Ke. Although he's upright, he's a Qingliu person and has always opposed the Empress.”
"Therefore, what we need to do is to get Zhao Pan 'er to come forward and ask Ouyang Xu for this painting. This way, we can quietly make the Night Banquet Painting disappear.”
Gu Qianfan nodded in realization.
Jia Huan paused and continued.
"And I heard that after Ouyang Xu was hit by Tanhualang, he actually got engaged to the Miss of the High Observer.”
"Obviously, this guy is an ungrateful hypocrite. That's why I've already asked the people from the Imperial City Bureau to investigate. I thought that Zhao Pan 'er's father's case was overturned and asked her to help us get back the night banquet map.”
Hearing Jia Huan's words, Gu Qianfan and the old merchant were filled with admiration. It could be said that Jia Huan knew everything before he came to Qiantang.
What they didn't know was that Jia Huan wasn't just anyone, it was all because he knew the plot.
Of course, his main purpose was to visit Zhao Pan 'er.
At the same time, there was another matter that needed to be investigated. Jia Huan whispered a few words to Gu Qianfan.
Gu Qianfan's expression changed drastically. Now that the Zhou Dynasty had banned the sea, the county magistrate of Qiantang had actually secretly opened the sea ban?
"Go investigate in secret. The Snowy Dragon Cavalry have already arrived at Qiantang. If you need anything, just take my token and mobilize the troops.”
"We can't talk about the Night Banquet Painting. The key is that we can't let any of these corrupt officials off.”
Gu Qianfan nodded with a serious expression. Then he stood up, cupped his hands, and left.
Old Merchant also left with him. On the contrary, Jia Huan was the only one left here at this time.
Of course, the 18 riders of Yanyun who were hiding in the surroundings did not count.
