"Brother Shen has other friends in Beijing?"

"No, it's the Shenhou Mansion."

"Shenhou Mansion?" The figure of Wuqing appeared in Ji Yaohua's mind. She and Wuqing were strangers and had no hatred against each other.

That night at Zuiyue Tower, the two met for the first time.

There was no interaction during this meeting.

But for some reason, Ji Yaohua inexplicably felt that Wuqing was very displeased. Not only that, after Shen Xin mentioned the Shenhou Mansion, the first thought that popped into Ji Yaohua's mind was that Wuqing would steal her man.

Ji Yaohua didn't know why.

Maybe it's a natural incompatibility?

"Why did Brother Shen go to the Shenhou Mansion?" Ji Yaohua suppressed her disgust towards Wuqing and asked.

"I invited Zhuge Zheng. Since I have nothing to do, I'll go and take a look. As a gangster, the more friends you have, the more paths you can take." Shen Xin said with a smile.

"Then... what does Brother Shen think of the ruthlessness of the Divine Marquis Mansion?"

Shen Xin was a little surprised. He didn't expect Ji Yaohua to hit a straight ball.

Moreover, he just stayed in the Shenhou Mansion for one night. How did Ji Yaohua come to the conclusion that there was something fishy going on between him and Wuqing?

"I'll sit and watch." After thinking about it, Shen Xin did not give a direct answer, but chose to evade the question.

This action further confirmed Ji Yaohua's guess!

She felt even more disgusted with Wuqing, but she had no intention of blaming Shen Xin for being fickle. Instead, she blamed everything on Wuqing.

Women are just so weird sometimes.

Shen Xin's deception was in itself a test. He did not see Ji Yaohua's disgust for Wuqing, but he saw that Ji Yaohua did not seem to care much about his flirting.

This is undoubtedly good news for Shen Xin.

Chapter 100 Banquet, God of Wealth An Shigeng

Zhui Ming's first mission after joining the Shenhou Mansion was to use his tracking skills to track down Leng Xue who was expelled from the Six Gates.

The story of Lengxue being expelled was fake. The God Catcher saw Zhuge Zhengwo's admiration for Lengxue, and Lengxue happened to have made a mistake again, so he released Lengxue on purpose and let him join the Shenhou Mansion as an undercover agent.

The God Catcher was very hostile towards Zhuge Zhengwo.

The reason he gave for his cold-blooded behavior was that Zhuge Zhengwo was an enemy of Cai Jing on the surface, but was very likely colluding with Cai Jing secretly, one inside and one outside, attempting to plot a conspiracy.

This reason is not convincing at all. Even a cold-blooded person would not believe the words of the God Catcher.

However, this did not prevent Leng Xue from working for the God of Capture. On the one hand, the God of Capture raised him and was grateful to him for his upbringing. On the other hand, Leng Xue now still felt a sense of belonging to the Six Gates.

As for the cold-blooded undercover agent, Zhuge Zhengwo also knew everything.

Even if he didn't know, Wuqing could see through the cold-blooded heart.

But Zhuge Zhengwo doesn't care whether Leng Xue is an undercover. As long as Leng Xue is capable and can do the job, whether he is an undercover or not is not very important in Zhuge Zhengwo's opinion.

The cold-blooded undercover agent entered the Shenhou Mansion and quickly passed on two important pieces of information to the God Catcher.

The first piece of information is that Wuqing has the ability to read minds.

Wuqing's ability is incredible, but neither Wuqing himself nor Zhuge Zhengwo have any intention of hiding it.

Leng Xue got the news from Zhui Ming with almost no effort.

The second piece of information is that the copper mold theft case is not over yet.

The bronze model in Jia San's hand is fake!

This information was told by Zhui Ming. When he was looking for Jia San to collect the debt, he came into contact with the bronze mold and immediately realized that it was a fake.

After the Six Gates took the bronze mold back from Zhuge Zhengwo, they returned it to Lord Xu, the Chief of the Ministry of Finance.

But Zhui Ming, a gangster, could tell that the bronze model was fake. However, Lord Xu, the money supervisor, said it was real after checking it.

There is no doubt that the matter of the fake bronze mold is closely related to Lord Xu.

So, Zhuge Zhengwo sent everyone from the Shenhou Mansion to monitor Lord Xu, wanting to see who was behind Lord Xu.

After all, the fake copper mold is a serious matter, and no one would think that Lord Xu, a small character, is the mastermind behind it.

On the other hand, the Six Gates made no secret of the fact that they knew about the fake bronze model and also sent people to monitor Lord Xu.

The Six Gates should not have known about this. If they had known, they would not have returned the bronze mold to Lord Xu and hastily closed the case.

Apparently, someone passed the information to the Six Gates.

As for who this person is, everyone in the Shenhou Mansion knows it well.

But with Zhuge Zhengwo suppressing them, everyone just pretended not to know.

Zhuge Zhengwo didn't care about any credit. In his opinion, as long as the case could be solved, it didn't matter whether it was the Shenhou Mansion or the Six Gates.

……

After monitoring Lord Xu for several days, we gained nothing.

Until this day, An Shigeng held a banquet and invited Lord Xu to attend.

Now, there is no need to investigate further, everyone knows who is behind Lord Xu.

An Shigeng.

No, to be precise, it was Cai Jing who came after An Shigeng!

Zhuge Zhengwo was not invited to this banquet, but he still decided to go to the banquet to meet the God of Wealth An Shigeng and see if he could catch any clues.

He did not go to the party alone, but with cold blood.

An Shigeng held the banquet in a high-rise building on the waterfront. When Zhuge Zhengwo arrived, he happened to meet Shen Xin.

"Elder Shen." Upon seeing this, Zhuge Zhengwo stepped forward and greeted him.

"Mr. Zhuge," Shen Xin smiled and looked at Leng Xue again: "Brother Leng."

Leng Xue nodded slightly as a response. He was always like this, looking cold on the outside and speaking very little.

However, his response to Shen Xin was not only the same as usual, but also contained a bit of resistance.

He doesn't really want to get close to Shen Xin!

After all, Shen Xin and he are love rivals.

Although the Shenhou Mansion was busy these days, Shen Xin would still go to the Shenhou Mansion to find Wuqing when they were free.

But I do have feelings for ruthlessness and cold-bloodedness.

The first time they met in Zuiyue Tower, he fell in love with Wuqing at first sight.

The relationship between Shen Xin and Wuqing meant that Lengxue couldn't get along with him.

Shen Xin didn't mean to make friends with Leng Xue, he just maintained a friendly attitude. After saying hello, Shen Xin turned his attention back to Zhuge Zhengwo: "Mr. Zhuge is also attending the banquet."

"I came here uninvited, and I don't know whether the host welcomes me or not." Zhuge Zhengwo smiled and said.

"Is Elder Shen also here to attend the banquet?"

"How dare I refuse the invitation from the famous God of Wealth?" Shen Xin said with a smile.

"Brother Shen knows An Shigeng?" Zhuge Zhengwo frowned slightly and asked.

At this moment, he was somewhat suspicious of Shen Xin.

"I don't know anything at all." Shen Xin shook his head.

Zhuge Zheng, I don't know whether what he said is true or false, but from the time I have been with Shen Xin, I am more inclined to believe that Zhuge Zheng has no collusion with An Shigeng.

Nodding, Zhuge Zhengwo said, "In that case, let's go in and take a look together."

"Okay, please come in, Mr. Zhuge!" Shen Xin responded.

An Shigeng was a popular figure around Cai Jing and was also known as the God of Wealth. Whenever he held a banquet, many people came.

Officials of all ranks in the capital were gathered here at this moment. They held up their wine glasses, gathered in groups of three or five, and chatted with each other.

This scene is somewhat similar to a cocktail party in later generations.

Shen Xin also held a glass of wine and pretended to be busy, while Zhuge Zhengwo and Lengxue were looking for Lord Xu in the crowd.

However, Lord Xu is not here, but upstairs.

In a room upstairs, An Shigeng was lying on a bed, with two maids in cool clothes standing on his left and right, giving him a massage.

An Shigeng enjoyed the massage while looking at Lord Xu who seemed a little nervous in front of him.

After leaving Lord Xu alone for a while, An Shigeng stood up, took out the money and bills he had prepared long ago, and handed them to Lord Xu.

Lord Xu was still a bit pretentious, saying things like "the world is in chaos and the people are suffering", but when An Shigeng pretended to be unstable and threw a tray with a stack of silver bills into his arms, Lord Xu's body was much more honest than his words.

"As the treasury supervisor, you have seen so many banknotes, but none of them belong to you. Are you sad?"

"This banknote is real. It's all yours now."

"You should be thankful that you are still worth so much now."

An Shigeng said this in a somewhat cynical and uncertain tone.

After he finished speaking, An Shigeng habitually extended his index finger, but the next moment, An Shigeng withdrew his hand.

After all, An Shigeng was used to teasing women like this, but he was not very interested in men.

"Have all the people I invited arrived?" An Shigeng turned and asked the maid who was serving beside him.

"The God Catcher has arrived, and the Elder Shen you invited has also arrived, but..."

"But what?"

"People from the Shenhou Mansion are here too."
