Chapter 167 Could it be her?
Qin Zhen rolled his eyes at him and said, "Is it easy? During those days, we were all on pins and needles, worried that the Xia Kingdom would abandon Xia Hongmiao and raise troops to attack us, causing a war to break out."
You know, if the border issue was not handled properly, Xia Guo's plan would have succeeded, and he would be the sinner in this war. I'm afraid the emperor would take this as an excuse to punish their Qin family and make it impossible for them to recover.
Therefore, he was really grateful to Shen Ruolan.
When Qin Zhen thought of Shen Ruolan, he thought of her adorable twin boy and girl. Looking at Jiang Dichen in front of him, he couldn't help but feel a little sympathy.
He had no chance to meet these two adorable children. This instantly dissatisfaction disappeared. He thought that they were just poor creatures, so he could just bear with it for now.
Qin Zhen's sympathetic look did not escape Jiang Dichen's eyes. He stared at him fiercely and asked, "What's that look?"
After saying this, he stood up and approached Qin Zhen, lowered his head and asked him coldly: "Qin Zhen, are you hiding something from me in Cang Ling City?"
Qin Zhen was not afraid of Jiang Dichen's approach. He smiled at him and said, "Your Highness, you are worrying too much. I will tell you everything except the things about my wife and I."
Jiang Dichen stared at Qin Zhen for a long time. After making sure that there was no guilty look in his eyes, he snorted at him and said, "It's better to do as you said. Otherwise, you wait for me."
After saying this, he turned and left.
When Qin Zhen saw Jiang Dichen leaving, he quickly shouted at his back, "Hey, Prince Han, remember to pay the money. I don't have any money."
After he finished speaking, he turned to the waiter in the teahouse and said, "Waiter, pack me ten kilograms of your fine tea and put it all on King Han's account."
After hearing what Qin Zhen said, the waiter said to him with a bitter face: "Sir, please pay for the tea first, and I will prepare the tea for you."
Seeing the waiter like this, Qin Zhen slammed the table and scolded him, "Why, do you look down on King Han, or do you look down on me?"
Qin Zhen's words frightened the waiter so much that his legs went limp. He quickly said to him, "Sir, I'll get you some tea right away."
"That's about right." Qin Zhen responded with a satisfied look on his face.
After he finished speaking, he instructed another waiter, "Waiter, pack ten servings of all the best snacks in your teahouse for me, and the bill will also be charged to King Han."
It was a rare opportunity for Qin Zhen to make money from Jiang Dichen, so he not only took the opportunity to buy some tea that he was reluctant to buy, but also bought a lot of snacks for his wife and children.
Thinking of the dim sum, Qin Zhen felt guilty. His wife came from far away to marry him, and before she could enjoy a few days of happiness, she had to worry about and live a hard life with him all day long. They could only eat exquisite dim sum when they went to the palace to attend palace banquets. Usually they bought the rough ones to satisfy their cravings.
The waiters in the teahouse had no choice but to do as Qin Zhen asked.
However, Yan Mo downstairs couldn't help but twitch his lips after hearing what Qin Zhen said, "Master, this General Qin is like a hungry wolf. He will never miss any opportunity to take advantage of others."
Jiang Dichen said expressionlessly: "It's just some vulgar things. If he likes to take them, just give them to him."
The things in the teahouse were worth at most three hundred taels, which was enough to kill him.
However, Jiang Dichen still underestimated Qin Zhen. As soon as Jiang Dichen left the teahouse, Qin Zhen asked the waiter to pack 50,000 kilograms of grain for him, and the bill was also charged to Jiang Dichen.
In the afternoon, after Yan Mo saw the bill sent by the teahouse, he quickly took the bill to find his master and said angrily, "Master, Qin Zhen is too much. He actually bought 50,000 kilograms of grain in the teahouse and charged it to you."
Jiang Dichen listened to his subordinates. He took the bill and looked at it. He couldn't help but curse, "Shameless!"
He originally thought that he could get rid of him with a few hundred taels of silver, but he didn't expect that it would cost him nearly a thousand taels in total.
Yan Mo asked his master, "Master, how about I send this bill to him?"
Jiang Dichen said, "Forget it, just consider it as my annual gift to the soldiers."
He knew Qin Zhen's situation very well. He was so stingy and liked to take advantage of others, just because he wanted to get more for the people behind him.
"Yes." Although Yan Mo was not convinced in his heart, he still responded respectfully to his master.
"Master, I'm back." Jingyun suddenly shouted loudly outside the door.
Jiang Dichen in the room heard Jingyun coming back, and he quickly told Jingyun outside the door, "Come in quickly."
"Yes," Jing Yun finished speaking, and he opened the door with a creaky sound and came in, bowing to Jiang Dichen and saying, "Your subordinate greets the master."
Jiang Dichen looked at him and said, "Stand up and talk."
Jingyun replied: "Yes"
After saying this, he stood up and said to Jiang Dichen, "My Lord, I have basically understood what happened in Cangling City. The five million kilograms of grain obtained by General Qin is related to a girl named Shen..."
Jing Yun told Jiang Dichen everything that happened in Cang Ling City. At the end, he looked at Jiang Dichen and hesitated for a moment, then said, "Master, besides that, I think this girl surnamed Shen is a little strange."
Jiang Dichen listened to his subordinate's words. He looked at him and said "Oh", and asked: "What's strange? Tell me."
Jing Yun said, "Master, this Miss Shen's behavior is a bit strange. She left her job as a good citizen and went to Nanshan to become a bandit. She also reclaimed a lot of land in Nanshan."
When Jing Yun said this, he suddenly said to his master: "Master, by the way, Doctor Shen from Yaowang Valley came all the way to see her. They seem to know each other very well."
When Jiang Dichen heard this, he stood up and looked at his subordinates and asked, "Have you seen this Miss Shen?"
She is very familiar with the Shen family of Yaowang Valley, and her surname is Shen. Could it be her?
When Jiang Dichen thought of this, he looked at his subordinates and asked anxiously, "Tell me quickly, have you seen her?"
Jing Yun was a little confused when he saw his master was out of control, but he still reported truthfully: "I have seen her. She is not tall and her appearance is not very good. I heard that she is very cruel and the small bandits around are very afraid of her."
Jiang Dichen felt somewhat disappointed after hearing what his subordinates said. Her appearance was mediocre and her methods were ruthless, neither of which his Wan Xi possessed.
Jing Yun saw that his master's mood suddenly changed. He glanced at Yan Mo and asked his master, "Master, what happened?"
Jiang Dichen told his subordinates truthfully: "The old divine doctor Shen from Medicine King Valley has found his daughter. Lan Wanxi is his granddaughter."
"Did old Divine Doctor Shen find his daughter?" Jing Yun finished speaking and muttered to himself, "No wonder I was so depressed when I met him. Did he find his daughter?"
