Chapter 706 Why bother asking questions?
Who is this Chen Xu? Why does Jiang Youzhen look so anxious?
Although Qin Yandong was curious, since the other party didn't want to introduce him, he wouldn't meddle in other people's business.
After Jiang Youzhen arrived at the Zen room, he saw Asan, who was wearing a moon-white fine cotton robe, arranging the wooden fish on the table.
"Third brother!" Jiang Youzhen walked in with a smile.
As soon as Asan turned around, he met a pair of affectionate eyes and his heart skipped a beat.
But he also understood that it was because Jiang Youzhen was looking at him with a smile. Because when Jiang Youzhen looked at you with a smile, his eyes were full of spring and affection, which would always cause some misunderstandings.
"Hey! The Lord Luodan you asked me to investigate is a little strange. I don't know whether this matter is important or not. After thinking about it, I decided to tell you."
"Oh? What's the matter?" Jiang Youzhen asked hurriedly.
"Early this morning, Erdan said that the shopkeeper He from the coffin shop in the south of the city came to the Chu House in a hurry. It was still early at that time, and the Chu House was not open yet. I saw the shopkeeper He knocking on the door and paying the money to go in. He was holding a package in his hand, as if he was going on a long journey."
"Now you can see clearly, are you sure it's Shopkeeper He?"
Ah San nodded affirmatively, "That's right! Erdan used to beg for food in the coffin shop area and is very familiar with Manager He.
Shopkeeper He is a good person. If someone is really poor, he can buy on credit. If he encounters a scoundrel who refuses to pay, he has no choice but to pay the debt. He is a good man.
Jiang Youzhen thought that this Shopkeeper He actually had a good reputation.
"He never quarreled with anyone. Because of his good temper, neighbors liked to take care of his business. Sometimes they took advantage of him, but as long as it was not excessive, he didn't mind. As long as the business could be done, it was fine. He was also very lax in his management of the shop. His employees only needed to sell coffins and paper money, and they didn't need to help transport goods."
"Where are he?" Jiang Youzhen nodded. Now that Manager He has disappeared, could he still be in Luodan?
"But the strange thing is that after going to Chu Hall, he has not come out. And Young Master Luodan left the city gate in a carriage half an hour ago and has not returned yet. Could these two people know each other? It always seems like a coincidence."
What he found strange was that he heard that Shopkeeper He had a lover, but he also didn't hear that Shopkeeper He was into this kind of thing!
Besides, Shopkeeper He's shop is still open today! Shopkeeper He is about to go on a long journey, and he has entered Chu's shop again. He can't help but associate Shopkeeper He with Luo Dan.
Jiang Youzhen looked at Ah San with admiration. He didn't expect Ah San to be so sharp. He didn't even know that Manager He had a relationship with Luo Dan, but he had such a guess. He was indeed a good investigator.
"Have you found out what Luo Dan did when he left the city?"
"I asked around and heard that there was a poetry gathering in Jingxi Mountain today and many writers would go. He went to attend it."
Once we leave the city, things become a bit difficult.
"Are you sure that Manager He didn't come out of Chu Hall? Could he have taken someone's carriage and left?"
"Until I came, the only carriages that came in were those of Lord Lodan."
Because the Chuguan was not glorious after all, and its status was even lower than that of a brothel. At least a brothel could open its doors to welcome guests during the day, but the Chuguan was usually open at night, and there were very few guests during the day. Those guests still wanted to have some dignity, and it was not presentable after all.
"In other words, unless he left in Luo Dan's carriage, he is still in Chu Hall?"
Jiang Youzhen thought that he had left in such a hurry that he had no time to exchange the gold and silver for banknotes. He only brought a bundle, which meant that he had no valuables with him.
How to get it out of the city? I didn’t bring any valuables with me when I went to Luodan, so if I wanted to transport it out of the city, Luodan’s place would definitely not work, unless Luodan went somewhere else to ship it before leaving the city.
"Did Luodan go anywhere else before leaving the city?"
Ah San shook his head. "No, I saw his carriage leaving the city. And after registering at the city gate, Erdan saw Luodan sitting in the carriage with his own eyes. But after leaving the city, the carriage went very fast. Erdan didn't dare to chase after him in the carriage, as it would be too easy to be discovered, so he could only come back to report."
Jiang Youzhen suddenly had an idea and asked, "Has anyone passed away in the city today? Does anyone need to carry their coffin out of the city?"
Ah San immediately said, "There is a family. An old man in the west of the city has passed away. The family has been keeping the body for three days. They should leave the city today for the burial. The time is good. We will leave the city at the end of the day.
The descendants of the family had a big fight over the twenty mu of land, saying that if they were not evenly distributed, they would not be allowed to leave the city. I passed by and overheard it, and I have some impression of this time. Because it is special, usually the burial will be carried out before noon."
"Okay! Keep watching the Chu House. If you see Manager He, be sure to report to me immediately."
Jiang Youzhen calculated the time. It was already the beginning of the afternoon and time was running out.
"Thank you, Third Brother and all the brothers. I will definitely thank them when this matter is over."
"What are you talking about? They are working hard because they have been rewarded!" Ah San wanted to ask about Manager He, but he felt that he only needed to find out information and should not be curious, so he stood up and said goodbye.
He knew that Jiang Youzhen was very busy these days and did not dare to disturb her.
Jiang Youzhen said goodbye to Asan and turned around to find Qin Yandong.
I only had time to explain to Qin Yandong, "Please ask Sir Qin to bring people with me to the west of the city, and we will talk about the rest on the way."
When Jiang Youzhen told Qin Yandong about his suspicions while sitting in the carriage, he asked, "How did you know the whereabouts of Manager He? You just told me that. Did you suspect him a long time ago? But Manager He told me that only when he was wise. You were not there at that time."
Jiang Youzhen smiled slightly, "Although the time is short, it is not difficult to find out the whereabouts of Shopkeeper He."
"Really? He wanted to hide, and even the people I sent would have difficulty finding him, unless you had been following him for a long time."
Qin Yandong narrowed his eyes. He always felt that Jiang Youzhen had many secrets.
Jiang Youzhen sighed, "Why do you have to dig into this matter? Everyone has their own secrets. As long as the final result is good, it's fine."
Li Dongsheng has fallen into the trap himself. She secretly wondered if Qin Yandong could still suspect that she was in collusion with Li Dongsheng?
Qin Yandong wanted to ask again, but Qing Lang said, "Master, Sir Qin, we're here!"
"Drive the carriage over there under the tree."
The guards arrived before them, but did not expose themselves and hid in the dark.
Jiang Youzhen lifted the curtain and looked at the Feng family’s small courtyard.
"Hmph! If you don't divide the land equally, then don't leave the city. You have three sons, why should the eldest brother's family occupy two more acres?" A woman put her hands on her waist, with a ferocious expression.
"Why? Just because I'm the eldest son of the Feng family, and in which family doesn't the eldest son inherit the family business? Why should we give you more? Isn't it enough that each family has received six acres of land? You are so greedy!" A man in mourning clothes pointed at the woman and cursed.
"I don't agree. This yard has already been given to you. Even if you are the eldest, you cannot get the extra two acres of land."
The rest of the people joined in and the yard suddenly became a mess.
