After being reborn, she became the richest man without being a queen

Chapter 29
Xu Shi thought of Shen Qingling at the door, Ren Shaochun cleared his throat on purpose, and read: "In the sixth year of Chengde, the wilderness borrowed Zhou Chenyu's ten taels to take the breath of doubling the name, and the time limit is one year."

At the beginning, the loan was ten taels, but at the end of the year, the interest rate soared, and it gradually became 50 taels.

It looks outrageous, but it is the most common borrowing method in Yangzhou now.If you like me, the government can't control it if they want to, so they can only let these Yuanwailang do whatever they want.

There is wilderness's handprint on the bottom of the IOU, which is exactly the same as the one above.

"Second brother, what is the wilderness borrowing money for? It is said that he should be able to repay the one-year period at the beginning." After reading the following, Ren Shaochun asked doubtfully.

His voice was so loud that it could even be heard in the front hall.

At this point, how can Ren Shaoyan not know that his stupid brother is for that little lady outside?Immediately shaking his sleeves, he got up, bowed to Shen Qingling, and introduced himself: "I am the Erlang of the Ren family, Ren Shaoyan, dare to ask the name of the young lady?"

Hearing the sound, Shen Qingling turned her head, revealing half of her body, looking at Ren Shaochun timidly, as if she was waiting for Ren Shaochun's order.

Ren Shaochun was also a little dazed, he had never seen Shen Qingling's expression before, but after thinking about it, it was probably the first time for this little lady to enter the government office, it's normal to be a little panicked.

So, he quickly got up, pulled Ren Shaoyan's sleeve with his hands, and said, "Second brother, this is mine. Why do you ask those who are there or not? Be careful not to scare them."

Shen Qingling blinked her eyes, obeyed Ren Shaochun, and did not answer out loud.

"Since you want to ask about the wilderness case, you have to be honest and frank." Ren Shaoyan squinted at his younger brother, and tapped his forehead with his fingers, "Otherwise, when elder brother comes back, I'll see how you can make up for it."

Naturally, Ren Shaoyan knew that there would be no one outside the government office waiting to explain to the eldest brother, it was just a lie used by the younger brother to fool the eldest brother and distract him.

Seeing that Ren Shaochun couldn't figure it out, Shen Qingling sighed helplessly, stood up with her sleeves rolled up, bowed her head while saluting and replied: "I am Qingling from the Shen family, I have met Ren Erlang."

This is probably the first time that Shen Qingling has lowered her stance, using the usual self-proclaimed names of young ladies to deal with outsiders.

Ren Shaoyan didn't know about it, so there was no surprise, but Ren Shaochun knew it!He raised his hand to stroke his chin, pursed his lips thoughtfully, and there was a flash of joy on his face.

It's the secret, the joy of being treated like a friend.

Ren Shaoming left in a hurry and came quickly, he was followed by two teams of yamen servants, as soon as he entered the side hall, he strode towards Ren Shaochun, looking at his posture, he wanted to beat Ren Shaochun severely.

However, when he got closer, he realized that the little lady standing at the door was writing and drawing with his second brother behind the long desk.

"Brother?" Ren Shaoyan raised his head, waved to Ren Shaoyan hurriedly, and said, "Come and see, Second Lady Shen's painting skills are really wonderful, just listen to what we say, and you can draw lifelike!"

In the long case, several portraits that have been completed are spread out separately. They are all wanted criminals who are wanted to be arrested by the government. Their painters are indeed much better than those in the government.

But even if this person is a good painter, he is still an outsider.

Ren Shaoming's complexion was extremely bad, he walked to the side of the long case sullenly, and said in a cold voice: "How can others read the files in the imperial court at will? Shaochun is ignorant, so how could you be ignorant?"

Those yamen servants who stopped at the door and didn't come in shrank their shoulders and didn't dare to raise their heads, as if they knew very well the consequences of Ren Shaoming's anger.

"Ren Dalang thinks my concubine's painting is not good?" Shen Qingling seemed oblivious to Ren Shaoming's mood, and asked crisply when the people around her were afraid to say a word: "Chen Yu, Xue Wu, Qin Lingyi, these three people Dozens of people have died in the world, and now they are absconding, and they may commit murders again every day. If the concubine's painting can help the government to catch them back as soon as possible, wouldn't it be for the people? Or, Ren Dalang thinks that the government's face Is it important, not those people outside?"

The hall was suddenly very quiet.

Ren Shaochun shrunk and closed his eyes in despair, thinking that his elder brother respected his father the most, and even cared about the affairs of the government office, Shen Qingling's words simply added fuel to the fire!But he was thinking about how to dissuade his elder brother later, so that Shen Qingling would not be put in prison.

However, to everyone's surprise, Ren Shaoming didn't throw this woman who spoke out loud, but turned around and sat on a chair beside him, as if waiting to see Shen Qingling finish the painting.

Ren Shaoyan let out a sigh of relief, then walked to the elder brother with the two paintings in his hands, and continued to explain: "Miss Shen Er is not only a painter, but look, elder brother, there is a place where the murderer might go under the portrait. In detail, the scope of the government's search and arrest will be more precise at that time."

The yamen servants outside the door moved into the house without any trace, and looked at the portrait together with Ren Shaoming.

Sure enough, in the lower right corner of the portrait, there was a long article in beautiful handwriting, which not only mentioned the place where the prisoner might stay, but also clearly marked his hobbies and behavior style.

"How did you come to this conclusion?" Ren Shaoming asked Ren Shaoyan.

Although he was asking Ren Shaoyan, it was obvious that Ren Shaoming wanted Shen Qingling to answer in person.

"It's not difficult." Shen Qingling didn't even lift her eyelids, and drew steadily with her wrists, "It was mentioned in the archives in the government office that Chen Yu is good at wine, and he is especially good at spirits. The kind that can’t be missed, so as long as you think about it carefully, you can guess where he might go.”

Nowadays, only the wine from Saibei can truly be called strong wine. On the other hand, the grapes from the west that are popular in Yangzhou are delicious, but not strong enough, far from meeting Chen Yu's requirements.

Restaurants are not good, let alone ordinary people.

Therefore, when Shen Qingling asked Ren Shaoyan, he asked a few cities and towns that might have been visited by frontier merchants, and marked them down.

"Even if the merchants in the frontier fortress brought wine recipes from the north, they would not be able to sell them in Yangzhou, so Chen Yu, who is thirsty for wine, should be on his way north at this time."

The strokes are restrained.

Shen Qingling raised his head to look at Ren Shaoming, and then said: "This is the first, and the second is that Chen Yu committed a murder in Yangzhou. Only in the past few months have I wandered around Yangzhou..."

"You mean, he was ordered by someone?" Ren Shaoming knew everything.

In fact, Shen Qingling didn't rely on guesswork in the latter paragraph.She knew that Chen Yu was hired by someone to kill people, and that Chen Yu and Qin Lingyi were in the same gang. They were well-known outside, and they were called the couple.
