Even Wuqing herself didn't notice that when Wu Ming forcefully pushed her away, she just cursed Wu Ming for being domineering, but she didn't actually feel much anger.
Or maybe, she couldn't tell whether she was angry or resentful towards Wu Ming. After all, the interactions between the two of them were just a small movie in her mind.
"Miss Wuqing, what do you think of this silver hairpin? I think it suits you very well. Let me help you put it on and see." Wu Ming talked to himself without really asking Wuqing for her opinion. He simply paid for the silver hairpin and started fiddling with Wuqing's hair.
Not long after, Wu Ming tied Wuqing's originally loose hair into a bun and inserted the silver hairpin in his hand into it.
"Not bad, it still looks good this way." After doing all this, Wu Ming stood in front of Wuqing, touched his chin and looked at it for a moment, and finally clapped his hands to express his satisfaction.
As for Wuqing, she still had no expression on her face. She was used to Wu Ming's tyranny. Wu Ming had already painted her rouge and eyebrows along the way. She also tried to resist, but this bitch just used force to suppress her. How could a Xiantian Perfection, who was sitting in a wheelchair, resist the Grandmaster?
Even if you are angry, you have to swallow it.
But, is she really angry?
It didn't seem like I was that angry. He was so gentle when he was drawing her eyebrows. In this era, the only man who could draw and powder a woman's eyebrows was her husband. It was considered a kind of boudoir hobby.
"You're heartless, aren't you? I asked you to follow the suspect, and here you are... Oh, it turns out to be Master Wu."
"Hello, my name is Zhui Ming. I heard that you recommended me to Shen Hou. Thank you!"
"You don't have to thank me. I'm glad you don't blame me. I think you are a talented person. If it weren't for your personality, which really doesn't fit the strict rules of the inner guard, I would have wanted to recruit you into the Plum Blossom Inner Guard."
"Thank you, Lord Wu, for your kindness. You understand me." Zhui Ming looked at Wu Ming with gratitude. It is difficult to find a true friend in life. At this moment, he felt that Wu Ming was his true friend.

Chapter 22: Pretending
"Master Wu, this is cold-blooded. You may have seen this before. He was originally from the Six Gates, but now he has entered our Shenhou Mansion."
"Not only have I seen him, but I also know him very well. He is the adopted son of the God of Capture Liu Jiyan and was also taught martial arts by the King of Capture Li Xuanyi. Leng Xue is the first one to be valued by both the God of Capture and the King of Capture." Wu Ming has reviewed the intelligence of the royal family and has scattered memories of later generations. There are probably very few people who can understand so many people like he does.
Lengxue was raised by a pack of wolves since he was a child. He has wolf blood in his body. When he is emotionally excited, he can transform into a brutal werewolf. He has reached the state of innate perfection at a young age. After transforming into a wolf, he can fight against a master and may even win.
Also for this reason, this guy's personality is a bit withdrawn. He didn't react much to Wu Ming's words. He just bowed and said hello.
At this moment, his attention was more on Wuqing who was in the wheelchair.
Looking at the previously pure and elegant Wuqing, who now had a bit of girlish charm, my heart, which was as calm as a lake, was suddenly stirred.
"Ms. Wuqing, who are you following?" After the greetings, Zhui Ming started asking about business again.
"He's dead. Someone silenced him. Before he died, I was distracted by Ji Yaohua from the Six Gates. The person who killed him was very careful and didn't leave any useful evidence." Wuqing naturally chose to tell the truth.
"Miss Wuqing, do you mean that there is something wrong with that Captain Ji?"
"That's just speculation on my part."
"Impossible. Ji Yaohua is loyal to the Six Gates and even risked her life to save the God of Capture. There's no way there is anything wrong with her." Leng Xue is a straight man. Even though he has feelings for Wuqing, he still refutes Wuqing's words without reservation.
In response, Wuqing just looked at him coldly. Originally, Wuqing had taken a liking to Lengxue at first sight, but after being fouled by Wu Ming, she had no connection with Lengxue anymore. In her heart, Lengxue was an undercover agent of the Six Gates, not even an ordinary friend. Naturally, she would not feel uncomfortable because of Lengxue's words.
She even felt that it was Leng Xue's fault for not speaking up for Ji Yaohua.
However, Zhui Ming's indifference made her a little unhappy. She treated everyone in the Shenhou Mansion as family. Although Zhui Ming had just entered the Shenhou Mansion, he had a likable personality and was humorous. He quickly integrated into the big family of the Shenhou Mansion. Wuqing also treated him as a family member.
"What do you think?" Unhappy Wuqing turned her gaze to Wu Ming. She wanted to hear Wu Ming's thoughts.
"I think...I think what you said makes sense!"
"You also think there's something wrong with Ji Yaohua?" Wuqing was a little excited. Wu Ming's words made her feel recognized.
"Well, I believe you!" Wu Ming was very sincere. He couldn't help but be sincere because Ji Yaohua did have a problem.
Wuqing turned her head uncomfortably and moved her eyes away from Wu Ming's face. She also realized that something was a little wrong with her at this moment.
"Forget it, it seems like today's trip is in vain. You guys continue to walk around. I'll go back and tell Shen Hou first." Zhui Ming is experienced in the world of martial arts and has a very high emotional intelligence. He had long seen that there was something fishy between Wuqing and Wu Ming. To be more precise, he had seen through Wuqing's state. He felt that if he stayed any longer, he would easily be disliked by others, so he made up an excuse to get out.
"I don't think you've come here in vain. Since the other party is eager to silence us, it means that your previous reconnaissance ideas are correct. Counterfeit money must be circulated in the market to play its role. After these things are made, someone has to spend them."
"You can change your thinking and focus on the people who leaked the counterfeit money. If you find them, you will naturally find the source of the counterfeit money."
"In order to cast a Kaiyuan Tongbao coin that is indistinguishable from the real thing, a lot of metals are needed, including copper, which can only be mined by the imperial court. Even if the copper content of the counterfeit currency is low, the greater the number of counterfeit coins, the greater the demand for copper. So where does such a huge amount of copper come from?" Wu Ming felt that he needed to speed up the progress of these people in solving the case. Although their progress was already very vigorous, he still felt it was too slow.
"That makes sense, wonderful...very wonderful. Let's go back to the mansion now and talk to the Divine Marquis. If we investigate this way, we are still short of manpower if we rely on just the few of us. We need to find someone to help us."
Zhui Ming was extremely excited and felt that Wu Ming's idea was truly brilliant.
Even Wuqing looked at Wu Ming with admiration. He originally thought he was just a hooligan, but now it seems that even if he is a hooligan, he is a smart one.
To put it bluntly, he is just a cultured hooligan.
Anyway, no matter how smart or cultured he is, Wuqing's evaluation of Wu Ming has undoubtedly risen to the level of love. It also shows that Wuqing does have a different attitude towards Wu Ming. If it was just the previous hatred, even if Wu Ming was a good person, he would only be evaluated as a beast in human clothing in her eyes.
Zhui Ming was the most excited, and Leng Xue was almost being pulled by him to run. Wu Ming followed behind the two of them, pushing Wu Qing slowly but surely. However, with his strength, no matter how fast Zhui Ming ran, he could not get rid of him.
The Shenhou Mansion was not luxurious, it could even be described as shabby. Zhuge Zhengwo did not care about external things, and he casually refused the house given by the emperor.
Which emperor would not like such a minister? There must be a reason why he can be known as a divine marquis and recognized by most people while being a foreign minister.
After meeting several people, Zhuge Zhengwo was not in a hurry to understand the situation. Instead, he was very polite and greeted Wu Ming first. After the two exchanged a few pleasantries, they got down to business.
Listening to Zhui Ming telling Wu Ming's idea, Zhuge Zhengwo appeared calm on the surface but was secretly shocked in his heart. He had been thinking about it for a long time before he vaguely came up with this idea, but now Wu Ming revealed it in one sentence. In addition to feeling suddenly enlightened, he also paid more attention to Wu Ming.
"No wonder Lord Wu is valued by the Queen. Such a sharp vision and such a clear idea of solving the case really puts me to shame."
"You are too kind, Lord God. It's just a little cleverness of mine. It can't compare to Lord God's great wisdom. I also checked the recent progress of solving cases in Lord God's Mansion and Liushenmen, and came up with this idea. It can be considered a trick." Wu Ming was naturally humble in his words, but his attitude was nonchalant. While talking, he played with Wuqing's hair, and he never stopped making small movements since he entered the door.
The beautiful lady standing in front of Zhuge Zhengwo, had eyes like knives, stabbing him coldly, but he didn't care and even deliberately provoked her, with an expression that said, "I touched you, come and bite me."
It was the first time that Wu Ming saw a beautiful girl, and he fell in love with this mature woman at first sight. Even if the reward was not very good, he would feel good after playing with this kind of woman.
If Zhuge Zheng could read minds, he would have stabbed Wu Ming's brains out. That amazing shot stunned the entire world.
"Actually, we don't need too many people. We just need to focus on places with a large amount of money in circulation, such as casinos or auction houses. These are the most likely places. After all, how much money can you spend on buying vegetables?" As the saying goes, one should pretend to be cool to the end. Wu Ming didn't want to be the kind of person who gave up halfway. It's like having sex but failing to get in or out. Men always feel uncomfortable.

Chapter 23: The Lady
Jiao Niang is a beauty, a very charming beauty, with rosy cheeks, pink cheeks and misty almond eyes. In terms of her appeal to Wu Ming, she is indeed more attractive than Wuqing.
Seeing that this group of people had finished their business discussion, Jiao Niang impatiently left Zhuge Zhengwo and walked towards the direction where Wu Ming was.
As she moved with her lotus steps, a pair of plump and firm breasts under the thin dress trembled gently up and down as she walked. As she walked, her well-proportioned and slender legs would inadvertently hold up her dress.
Before the person arrived, a unique charm of a young woman came into Wu Ming's sight along with her swaying waist. She was certainly not here to seduce Wu Ming. She just wanted to push Wuqing away from Wu Ming.
(Jiao Niang, Yang Mingna)
The fact that she has been able to endure until now shows that she has a good temper.
Because of Wu Ming's ruthlessness, she had a very bad impression of Wu Ming. Women are emotional, and she would not consider Wu Ming's status or talent. She only recognized one thing: no one could hurt her good daughter.
As for Wuqing's current condition, in her understanding, he is inexperienced and deceived by the bad guy Wu Ming. She has to make Wuqing sober.
The pretty girl walked up to Wuqing, rolled her eyes at Wu Ming, and twisted her waist to push Wuqing away. However, this turn left her plump buttocks to Wu Ming.
The welfare is right in front of him, if he doesn't poke her, he would be letting down the girl's cold eyes just now. Seeing that Zhuge Zhengwo was immersed in the joy of assigning tasks to others, Wu Ming stretched out his evil big hand. He originally planned to poke and leave, but he didn't expect to point to the tip of the buttocks, and he subconsciously changed the poke into a pinch.
A poke can be explained by accident or carelessness, but pinching is a different matter. However, since you have pinched it, you still have to make up a reason for yourself.
"You..." Suddenly attacked, Jiao Niang's body softened at first, and then she turned her head to look at Wu Ming in anger and shame.
"Madam, the Shenhou Mansion is now a thorn in the eyes of many people. You don't want to make another enemy for Lord Zhuge, right?" Wu Ming chose to communicate with Jiao Niang in secret through voice transmission. Everyone present had amazing hearing, so it would definitely be inappropriate to speak directly.
Wu Ming didn't want to create an enemy for himself for no reason.
A woman who can stay by Zhuge Zhengwo's side, even if she is not very strong, must be smart. Of course she can hear Wu Ming's threat.
So even though the girl was extremely ashamed and angry at this moment, she did not really lose her mind.
"Besides, this is all Madam's fault. We have never met before, and you rolled your eyes at me right away. Even a clay man would have some temper, let alone a hot-blooded man like me. I just gave you a small punishment for the sake of Master Zhuge. I had planned to use a little more force, but I found that Madam's body was so delicate that she might not be able to withstand my strength, so I just pinched her lightly."
"If there is a next time, I will hold back like I did this time. I hope Madam will be careful with what she says and does, and don't take it for granted that I didn't warn you."
After stabilizing Jiao Niang, Wu Ming began his suicidal act of dancing on the tightrope.
"You...you, if it weren't for your rude and heartless behavior, how could I be like this... You have achieved so much at such a young age, how can you be so... so frivolous and mean, your behavior is not worthy of your status." Jiao Niang was furious and spoke haltingly, but fortunately she used the method of secret voice transmission.
"It turns out that Madam can also transmit messages, that's great, it will be easier to communicate in the future. As for this frivolous and vulgar evaluation, I just shamelessly accepted it. You said that I was rude and ruthless. It seems that Wuqing told Madam what happened between us. Since Madam already knows, she should know that I am just like that. Compared with Wuqing, didn't I leave a lot of room for leeway?"
"Shameless and despicable!"
I have to say that swearing is a technical job. For someone like Jiao Niang, even if she swears, she only says a few sentences over and over again. Asking her to innovate is probably harder than climbing to the sky.
"It doesn't matter whether he is shameless or not. Madam, you may not like him, but there are others who do. I'm sure you can see that Wuqing has already had feelings for me, and even has deep feelings for me. I hope you won't do anything to break up a couple."
Wu Ming deliberately exaggerated Wuqing's current condition in order to let Jiao Niang stop Wuqing. You should know that Wuqing's original name was Sheng Yayu. Twelve years ago, when Wuqing was six years old, Sheng Dingtian, who was already a fourth-rank official at the time, joined forces with two other upright officials to sue the treacherous official. However, on the night before they were about to expose the treacherous official, people from the other two families were killed, and Sheng Dingtian naturally became the object of suspicion, the so-called traitor.
Before the night was over, thirteen murderers came to wipe out the Sheng family, and Tie Shou was one of them.
That night, Tieshou felt that Wuqing, a six-year-old girl, did not have the ability to participate in major events, so he saved Wuqing's life in the hands of other people.
Wu Ming knew that once this matter was exposed, Wuqing would definitely have a rift with the people in the Shenhou Mansion. At that time, it would be his turn to stand up and appear in a glorious image.
And Jiao Niang will be a stumbling block.
After all, Jiao Niang filled the gap of ruthless maternal love.
Wu Ming's goal is to let Jiao Niang stop Wu Qing from liking him. If Wu Qing listens to him, he will be dissatisfied with Jiao Niang after the incident breaks out.
If Wuqing doesn't listen, his relationship with Jiaoniang will gradually become distant from now on.
The closer Wuqing gets to her, the more cautious Jiaoniang will be. Wouldn’t she be able to say then, “Madam, you don’t want to…”
And when the time comes, it can be solved by just pinching it.
Jiao Niang is a supporting character in the plot, although not the protagonist, but her man is Zhuge Zhengwo. According to Wu Ming's guess, his luck should be stronger than Yan Zhiliu's.
As for the rewards, it shouldn’t be bad.
(Girl)
It is indeed necessary to fire a shot.
"I advise you to give up this idea. Wuqing will never like you." At this moment, Jiao Niang temporarily put aside the fact that she had been molested and turned her attention back to Wuqing. She had no children, and Zhuge Zhengwo had been injured by Yuan Shisanxian in his early years, so he had long lost his ability as a man.
Wuqing is her daughter, so she naturally values her very much. Now that she knows Wu Ming is such a wicked person, how could she possibly watch Wuqing jump into the fire pit?
"Jiao Niang..." Wuqing saw that she was staring at Wu Ming fiercely, and thought that Jiao Niang was dissatisfied with Wu Ming because of the previous incident. Now her mentality changed, but she didn't want to see Jiao Niang treating Wu Ming like this, and she didn't want a conflict between the two.
"Wuqing, come with me to the room. I have something to ask you." Jiao Niang withdrew her gaze from Wu Ming, twisted her plump and perky breasts, pushed Wuqing away.
