Chapter 869 Everyone Wants to Get Rid of Him
"Yes! Prince Yuanming handed this mine over to Zheng Ji, and he has a very high position here. As for whether this is a government mine, I don't know. Because that's what the court ruled, and I just followed him here."
Chen Yumian clenched his fists, "I followed him here, exhausted. Just when I was at a loss, I saw him. Thinking of my father's promotion of him and the friendship we had in the past, I asked for help!
He was shocked at the time, but when he learned that my father was taken here, he said he would take care of my father and arrange an opportunity for us to meet.”
Chen Yumian took a deep breath, and strong hatred burst out of his eyes.
"He arranged for me to live in a wing room, saying that I was a fugitive and could not be seen by outsiders, and that I had to take my time to figure out what to do next. I was tricked into coming in, but I didn't expect him to lock me up in the wing room, only ordering people to give me food and drink, and then he didn't care about me anymore.
I have been locked up here for more than half a month, and I still haven't seen Zheng Ji, and I don't know how my father is doing!"
"So, General Dingyuan's family also knew about his disappearance, right? And Miss Wang knows that her father is missing, so will she continue with the wedding?"
Jiang Youzhen thought that the wedding was only two days away, so he didn't cancel it. But now that his disappearance was hidden from the public, it would be a bit unkind to go ahead with the wedding.
"I don't know!" Chen Yumian shook her head. How could she care about the Wang family's affairs now? She was already busy with her own affairs.
"Who is the person who sued your father?" Jiang Youzhen continued to ask.
"He is a counselor beside my father. My father thinks highly of him and takes pity on him because his family is poor and he has a blind mother and a lame sister, so he always keeps him by his side.
But this man is a ruthless person. The charges he made are completely unfounded, because my father hates embezzlement and exploitation of the people. My family is just well-off, and even the betrothal gifts for my two elder brothers were barely enough to make up 18 sets. If it was really as he accused, how could it be so shabby? "
Speaking of this person, Chen Yumian gritted his teeth.
"Tell me this man's address and appearance. No matter whether your father is wrongly accused or not, I will thoroughly investigate this person!" Jiang Youzhen felt that this person was a breakthrough, so he said.
"Sir! You must redress my father's grievances! My father could never be that kind of person. He was wronged." When Chen Yumian heard Jiang Youzhen say this, she seemed to see hope, so she stepped forward and grabbed Jiang Youzhen's clothes and begged.
"Calm down first! If your father is truly wronged, I will definitely clear his name. Now I suspect your father's case is related to the disappearance of General Dingyuan, so you must tell me any clues you have."
Jiang Youzhen took a step back, took out a charcoal pencil and paper, and prepared to copy.
"Okay!" Chen Yumian quickly recited the appearance and address of the counselor.
After Jiang Youzhen finished the painting, he asked her to confirm it. After she confirmed it, he began to ask about Zheng Ji's appearance.
I copied another letter and was about to put it away when I heard a noise not far away.
"Someone is coming, I'll go out first!" Jiang Youzhen stood up quickly.
Chen Yumian immediately looked at Jiang Youzhen with hopeful eyes and grabbed the corner of her clothes again.
"Sir, will you really help us overturn the case?"
"Don't worry! I will definitely investigate this thoroughly."
Jiang Youzhen nodded, then took out a dagger and handed it over, "Leave this to you for self-defense! You should first be polite to Zheng Ji, and remember not to anger him.
As long as his request is not excessive, you should agree to it. Keep him calm first, and try to get more information out of him. I will send someone to protect you as soon as possible, don't worry."
Jiang Youzhen thought that Zheng Ji and Prince Yuanming must be in the same group. As for why they didn't kill Chen Yumian but locked her up here, Jiang Youzhen guessed that they wanted to use Chen Yumian to threaten Chen Xudao.
"Your father may still be alive and very important to them! So don't lose heart and try to protect yourself."
Perhaps Jiang Youzhen’s comfort worked, Chen Yumian nodded heavily.
"Do you have any symbolic tokens with you? Give me one. If I meet your father someday, I can make him trust me."
Chen Yumian nodded without hesitation, "Yes! I still have a ring that my mother often wore. She gave it to me before she died, and I have been hiding it!"
She took out a ruby ring, Jiang Youzhen took it and quickly left the house and locked the door.
She jumped onto the roof. It was already dawn and she didn't dare to act rashly.
"The goods this time are pretty good! I hope you can keep it up. If you sell inferior goods like last time, our cooperation will end."
A group of people walked out from behind the stone gate, and Young Master Kang was in a good mood.
"Don't worry! It was an accident last time. If he hadn't discovered it, resulting in a lack of ore, and you set a time limit for delivery, how could this general do such a thing?"
Prince Yuan Ming snorted lightly, his tone full of viciousness.
"Then you shouldn't pass off inferior products as good ones! But our previous cooperation was pleasant, so I still choose to trust you this time. I hope you won't let us down!"
"This batch of goods will be completed soon, don't worry!" Prince Yuan Ming waved his hand.
"By the way! Are you sure that General Dingyuan won't show up again? I'm afraid he'll show up again when we deliver the goods. You were almost caught last time, so he must have suspected you and might be secretly collecting evidence against you!"
"That shouldn't happen! He's been missing for a month, maybe he's already dead."
Although Prince Yuan Ming had his face covered at this time, Jiang Youzhen could still hear the joy in his tone.
"To be honest, I really suspect that he has been killed by you! Hahaha!" Young Master Kang laughed.
"Do I need to do it myself? Do you know how many people want to kill him? He and his lieutenant general have made the local tyrants breathless, and everyone wants to get rid of them as soon as possible. Otherwise, why do you think Chen Xudao became a mine slave? Of course, they blocked the way of many people, and those people couldn't hold back any longer!"
Jiang Youzhen, who was on the beam, was thoughtful. Hearing this, General Dingyuan's disappearance had nothing to do with Prince Yuanming? If General Dingyuan and his men really offended a lot of people, then I'm afraid it would be really tricky.
However, we cannot fully believe what Prince Yuan Ming says. It is possible that he is unwilling to admit it in front of Young Master Kang.
"Someone, send Young Master Kang back to the mansion. I want to supervise here."
After they left the house, Jiang Youzhen was about to go out, but was blocked on the beam by Prince Yuan Ming's orders.
"Yes!"
"Where's Zheng Ji? Ask him to come find me!"
Zheng Ji? Jiang Youzhen was even less likely to leave when he heard this name. This person was also very important. He must know where Chen Xudao was.
