Chapter 571: Climbing

“Alright, let’s go to another place and continue to drink! Let’s not go back until we’re drunk tonight!” Pei Qinghan put down the cup in his hand and ignored the questions from Zheng Guanbei’s eyes. He just pulled Cang Shuhang away.

The two changed from the Zuixian Restaurant to the Diner’s Restaurant. The Diner’s Restaurant was as full as the Zuixian’s Restaurant, but not as noisy. The two entered an elegant room, and then the waiter brought food and drinks.

Pei Qinghan raised his glass and asked: “I haven’t asked the brother’s name yet.”

In fact, he asked… …

Cang Shuhang cupped his hands and bowed his head: “I am Cang Shuhang, the magistrate of Dongyang Prefecture.”

Pei Qinghan was a little shocked. Those who attended the banquet of Zheng Daren today were officials of third rank or higher. As well as marquis just like him. How can a magistrate like him be invited to the banquet?

Cang Shuhang busily said: “This is the case, Zheng Daren and I are distant relatives. Today, I visited him, Zheng Daren pulled me over.”

So originally, that was the case. Pei Qinghan suddenly realized that he didn’t look down on Cang Shuhang. Compared with his reputation as a good-looking Houye, the influence of a magistrate was much better than him.

Pei Qinghan still remembered the incident just now, so he asked: “Brother Cang, you haven’t told me why the emperor mentioned me in front of you.”

Cang Shuhang thought he had forgotten about it, but he still remembered… …

Pei Qinghan raised an eyebrow when he saw Cang Shuhang seemingly unwilling to say it and felt a bit angry. “Why? Is it inconvenient to say?”

Cang Shuhang awkwardly smiled, while thinking about how to deal with this matter. However, Pei Qinghan, who was a little drunk, got up and said angrily: “Since you refuse to say it, then I will ask the emperor.”

Pei Qinghan turned to leave, but Cang Shuhang, who was terrified, immediately rushed in front of him and stopped him, “Don’t, Hou Ye. I will say it, I will say it, okay?” Its something that cannot be said, but now it’s leaked. If he won’t make it clear and this Houye asks the emperor, then won’t he die by then? However, if he tells this little secret to this Houye, he would be able to save his little life.

Cang Shuhang explained the ins and outs of the matter, which completely dispelled Pei Qinghan’s drunkness in an instant.

“Tell me, does this jade pendant have a Buddha carved on it, and there was a little red dot in the fingers?” Pei Qinghan asked urgently.

Cang Shuhang nodded his head: “That’s right. The jade pendant has a rare appearance and texture. When I saw it, I find it pretty good, so I sent it to the Empress Dowager as a gift. But who would have thought it will bring me big trouble?”

“So, have you found the source of this jade pendant?” Pei Qinghan asked another question.

Cang Shuhang picked up the wine cup and drank it: “No, I still have to go to Qingyuan Town with the emperor’s people to thoroughly investigate this matter. They also mentioned a child, but I don’t know what it’s all about. This time, I am only responsible for leading the way. It’s the emperor’s people who know the inside story.”

Pei Qinghang’s face became pale. There were thousands of thoughts inside his mind. The child was still alive? If she was still alive, what should he do?

He suddenly thought of Prince Jin and Prince Jin’s marriage contract with the child. At first, he didn’t know that the child had a marriage contract with Prince Jin. If he knew about this matter earlier, he would keep this child regardless of what. As long as he could climb up the rank with this marriage, what else does he need to worry about the Changyuan Houfu’s prosperity?

With this in mind, he had an idea in his heart. He asked Cang Shuhang: “Brother Cang, you just said the place is Qingyuan Town, right?” He knew this place. This place was very close to the battlefield on the northwest border It was a small border town.
