manynovel Chapter 705 Token Level
Chapter 705 Token Level
"These three families all had servants who went to the shops to make purchases, and my sister is familiar with the wives of these three families. Although we cannot rule out suspicion at once, the probability is not high." Jiang Youzhen shook her head. In fact, she had already locked on Young Master Luodan.
Thinking back to what she had overheard before, this Young Master Luo Dan was the most suspicious. She had previously asked Ah San to send someone to keep an eye on Luo Dan, but there had been no news.
After all, Luo Dan is often in Chu Hall and doesn't come out often. If I watch him too closely, I'm afraid he will find out. It's better to let some beggars watch him than let the teenagers.
"But this Lord Luodan is indeed a little strange. He always wears a mask on weekdays. He doesn't look coquettish, but rather he seems quite free and easy."
Qin Yandong recalled, but when he heard that Luo Dan had relationships with many people, he felt disgusted.
A butcher's tricks are not small. If this person really wants to win over the court officials and know some court secrets, it would be more convenient.
"Then capture Luodan and interrogate him." Qin Yandong said as he prepared to give orders.
"Wait a minute!" Jiang Youzhen hurriedly stopped him.
"What? You think it's not him again?" Qin Yandong asked.
"I think it's better not to alert the enemy. Send someone to keep an eye on him. He may not be able to leave the city in two hours. Since Jie Chen is collecting money, then Manager He may be responsible for collecting and transporting money.
I'm afraid that Jie Chen is not the only one who has contacted him. If he leaves, he will definitely take some valuables with him, which will be more eye-catching."
Someone had to come and collect some of the money and property that those officials embezzled, and this shopkeeper He might be involved.
"Go and find out what Manager He relies on to transport goods on a daily basis. There are only him and one clerk in the shop, and the two of them are always unlucky." Jiang Youzhen gave the order after thinking it over.
Fang Zhongyi's eyes lit up and he quickly agreed.
"We can only send someone to keep an eye on Luo Dan. He won't admit it based on this handkerchief alone. We must catch the thief and seize the stolen goods."
"It's normal for the waiters in the Chu House to purchase these. They often go out to attend banquets. If they say they are lost, there's nothing we can do. Then I'll do as you say. I'll send someone to follow and monitor them." Qin Yandong also thought it made sense.
"I always feel that this man is very smart. What if he practices martial arts? I'd better follow him from a distance and be cautious so as not to be discovered by him."
"By the way, what does the token say?"
Qin Yandong took it out from his arms and said, "Actually, they are also an organization. This is their token, but only the core members have it. This is just a low-level token with a lucky cloud engraved on it.
Wisdom and Zhishen have never seen anything higher than this. They don’t even have this lowest level token, it’s just a stepping stone.”
Jiang Youzhen was surprised. He took the token and looked at it carefully. It was just a wooden sign, which seemed to be made of ironwood.
"So in their organization, Jie Chen's rank is higher than theirs?"
Jie Chen is of the Jie generation, which is one level lower than the Zhi generation, so he should call the Zhi generation his uncle.
"It should be divided according to positions. Zhishen is just guarding the warehouse and is specifically responsible for Li Yue, while Zhihui and Jiechen are both collecting money. Zhihui said that Jiechen is very careful and never lets him meet people in the organization."
Jiang Youzhen understood after hearing this. This is equivalent to one person being an internal staff member and the other being an external employee who has not yet been formally incorporated into the organization.
"Zhihui and Jiechen work together just to get what they want. They both just want to embezzle money! And someone as lustful and indulgent as Zhihui will get into trouble sooner or later. But that's why they are so easy to control." Jiang Youzhen nodded.
"That's right. Moreover, this bald guy Zhihui likes to gamble. Every time he goes down the mountain to do some business, he changes his clothes and goes to the gambling house to gamble. Otherwise, how could he only have more than 2,000 taels in his room?"
Qin Yandong was surprised when he spoke of this. He didn't expect the temple's incense money would be so much.
But he thought about it and realized that those wealthy families were very generous. Besides the incense money, some of them lit perpetual lamps, and there were also rituals and ceremonies, etc. Which one would not make money?
"After this, I'm afraid the court will start to clean up the temples." Jiang Youzhen shook his head.
The Farong Temple is quite good. Every year, it donates money to build a bridge, and as long as the imperial court solicits donations, it will also donate a little.
Other temples are not as eye-catching as Fajong Temple, but they make a lot of money from incense offerings, while many of them are stingy.
Just at this time, vegetarian food was delivered, so they ate some vegetarian food in the temple.
Jiang Youzhen hasn't been home for three or four days. He misses his family a little, but if he doesn't strike while the iron is hot on this case, he's afraid that it will all be in vain.
Even though many hidden stakes have been removed, the fight is far from over.
While eating, Jiang Youzhen connected the clues and characters she had found in the past few days. Qin Yandong, who was standing by, noticed her absent-mindedness.
To be fair, Jiang Youzhen is indeed good-looking. Even though? After working hard for several days, he still looks stunning. But the slight dark spots on his face make him look a little more frail, which makes people feel pity.
In the past, Jiang Youzhen always looked confident and confident when giving orders. But now, he seems to be just a teenager!
In fact, Jiang Youzhen only lacked a background. If he was a child of an aristocratic family, why would he have to work so hard? It has been like this since ancient times that it is good to lean on a big tree for shade.
His hands were long and delicate, and scholars were really delicate and tender. If Jiang Youzhen didn't enter the court, with such an outstanding appearance, I'm afraid his family wouldn't be able to keep him.
Seeing him pick the radish aside, Qin Yandong suddenly found it funny. He was actually picky about food?
The vegetarian dishes in the temple are delicious and well-known in the capital. They cook the vegetarian dishes in various forms, some of which are even like meat dishes.
However, the chef obviously didn't have the mood to make those exquisite vegetarian dishes today, but the taste was still good.
Jiang Youzhen put down his bowl and chopsticks, wiped his mouth, and picked up the tea bowl beside him to rinse his mouth.
At this time, a guard came to report that the child and Li Yue had been sent to the Dali Temple.
Jiang Youzhen listened to it without hesitation and nodded.
The child would definitely not survive. The reason why the emperor wanted to see him in person was probably to see his execution. Although he was just a child, Jiang Youzhen knew that the winners would be the kings and the losers would be the bandits, so as to avoid future troubles.
The child's father doesn't take his child's life seriously, so he can only blame the child for being born in the wrong family.
"Lord Jiang, there is a man named Chen Xu outside who wants to see you!" Suddenly a guard came in to report.
Jiang Youzhen's heart moved, and he quickly said to Qin Yandong: "Master Qin, please enjoy your time. I have something to do, so I will leave now."
Chen Xu was the name Asan later took. His father's surname was Chen, and it was the rising sun at that time, so Jiang Youzhen named Asan Chen Xu.
In order to avoid revealing his identity when he was outside, Asan used the name Chen Xu.
"Please invite him to the Zen room next to the main hall." Jiang Youzhen ordered.
Without waiting for Qin Yandong to respond, she stood up and walked out.
Asan came here in such a hurry, could it be that there has been some progress in Luodan?
She didn't want to meet Asan in front of Qin Yandong, lest Qin Yandong knew about this. Then she wouldn't be able to explain why she started monitoring Luodan so early.
