Chapter 636 Too much information
"What will happen to the tofu workshop in the future? Can we still make and sell tofu in Xicheng?"
Jiang Youzhen frowned, "That's definitely not going to work. You have to think of another business. Then you can buy a house with a shop and live in it. Let me think about what business to do. I'll find a way to sell this tofu recipe. Anyway, they seem to have come up with some ideas recently and have started making it."
Asan told her last time that those people’s imitations were not very good and the food they made was not as delicious as what we have here, so Asan and his people have always had good business.
"Okay, I'll listen to you. We should be careful." Asan also thought it was better to act cautiously.
"By the way, I have found out some information about the person you asked me to investigate last time."
Jiang Youzhen asked quickly, "Has Huang Mintao done anything in the last few days?"
She came here to ask this. It is not easy to catch Huang Mintao's handle.
"This man usually returns home after his work is over, but he has been to a small courtyard in Nanluo Lane in the south of the city twice after his work is over."
"Who did you meet?" Jiang Youzhen asked immediately.
"Later, I sent someone to investigate and found out that a young woman lived in the yard. I also asked around and everyone knew that the woman had come from far away and rented the yard. She usually never left her house and never talked much with her neighbors. She would only open the door when Huang Mintao came."
Why does it sound like he has a mistress? Jiang Youzhen remembered that Huang Mintao already had a family, and his first wife was also from a wealthy family in the same hometown.
"How does she eat and drink? She has to go out to buy food, right?"
"There is also an old woman who is mute. She doesn't go out except to buy groceries."
So cautious? Jiang Youzhen was thoughtful.
"Every time Huang Mintao goes there, he stays for more than half an hour before leaving." Asan said this with some embarrassment. He hung out in Shijing so naturally he thought of the relationship between the two.
"Besides this, have you ever seen anyone else?" Jiang Youzhen continued to ask.
"Except for the Hanlin Academy, I went home and went to the courtyard in Nanluoxiang twice. That's all I have been up to in the past few days."
Ah San shook his head. This guy was very regular.
"There doesn't seem to be any suspicious points at the moment. Could that woman be his mistress?" Asan asked his question.
"Send someone to keep a close eye on that woman." Jiang Youzhen said, and suddenly thought of something.
"Send someone to keep a close eye on that dumb woman these past two days and see who she comes into contact with."
Ah San agreed and asked, "But what's wrong with Huang Mintao? Why are you so concerned about him?"
"This person has some ulterior motives, but I want to rule out whether it is because of faction or his personal interests."
Jiang Youzhen didn't want to say more. It was more likely that Huang Mintao had no backing because he could only watch Kong Chengling take over but was powerless to do anything.
If he attacks her now, he must be in a hurry. This is bullying the weak and fearing the strong.
But we cannot rule out the possibility that someone behind the scenes wants to get rid of her. If so, there must be a backup plan.
"Don't worry, I will definitely keep a close eye on them for you these few days."
"Where is Kong Chengling?" Jiang Youzhen remembered that he had asked Asan to investigate the matter of Kong Chengling.
Having said this, Ah San's face became serious.
"That guy is the complete opposite. He spends his days drinking and partying and has a lot of social events. Although he doesn't go to brothels, he always goes to other people's houses for banquets. I heard that he always invites girls from those brothels, and sometimes he also invites famous actresses. Anyway, he is very romantic.
But he took in a concubine two days ago. That concubine is a little strange. The person he sent said that the girl next to the concubine was brought with her before she entered the mansion."
"What's wrong with her?" Jiang Youzhen asked hurriedly.
"It seems that she was sold to Zhang last year. The people we sent found that she was still secretly in contact with her family. Her home is in Yuyang Village on the outskirts of the city, but there is something strange about her mother."
Ok?
"What happened to her mother?" Jiang Youzhen was a little confused. This relationship was so complicated.
"The guy I sent was very clever and had good eyesight. After looking at her for a while, he thought the woman looked familiar. After he went back and thought about it for a long time, he finally remembered where he had seen her before."
Jiang Youzhen rolled his eyes and said, "Stop keeping me in suspense and tell me now."
"You would never have imagined that the woman was actually a servant in the East Palace."
"Eastern Palace? The Crown Prince was deposed?" Jiang Youzhen was indeed surprised. How long had it been since the Crown Prince was deposed?
Now that she was imprisoned in the clan house, she was almost forgetting about this person.
"Are you sure? Could it be that I saw it wrong?"
Ah San shook his head, "It should be correct! Although the woman is now wearing a thorny hairpin and a cloth skirt, she used to dress like the wife of a wealthy family and looks like two different people, but her eyebrows and eyes have not changed. And the boy remembers the black mole between the woman's eyebrows very clearly."
"He said that the woman was very domineering before. He hadn't had anything to eat for two days and was so hungry that he almost fainted while walking. He leaned on her and was pushed hard by the woman.
He was foul-mouthed, said some nasty things, and was kicked a few times, so he was impressed and would not make a mistake in his memory. "
Jiang Youzhen seemed to be lost in thought. The amount of information today was a bit too much.
"Then how do you know she is from the East Palace?"
"That woman was mumbling something at the time, and the lackey next to her asked, "Do you know who this is? Nanny Lin from the East Palace, and the prince's wet nurse!"
"Wet nurse?" Jiang Youzhen suddenly perked up.
"Yes! He remembered it clearly. He was almost fainted from hunger, but was woken up by those kicks. He went back and lay down for several days."
"This is important news. Is that kid cautious? If not, let's change two people to keep an eye on him."
Jiang Youzhen paced back and forth in the room. Could it be that the deposed prince had not given up yet? Or was it that the prince was deposed, the wet nurse escaped, and now she was in poverty?
"Very cautious and smart, but I plan to go and keep an eye on them myself." Seeing that Jiang Youzhen took it so seriously, Asan decided to do it himself.
"Okay! You have to be careful and don't act too aggressively. Even if your whereabouts are exposed, it is more important to save your own life." There was some worry in Jiang Youzhen's eyes.
Ah San's heart warmed up, "No way, I have learned some skills now, and I am the best at stalking. Have you forgotten that I was a good at gathering information before? Then I can pick two good ones from those boys to help."
Jiang Youzhen nodded, "We must keep a close eye on that wet nurse, and don't let down Huang Mintao either. In the end, it is very important to reward people based on their merits, so don't be stingy."
Ah San wrote down all of Jiang Youzhen's instructions, "Don't worry! Am I that stingy?"
"I'll go first. You guys leave before curfew, but you have to wait until I take care of those snoopers before you act."
"You...you want to kill them?" Asan frowned, and there was something strange in his eyes when he looked at Jiang Youzhen.
"It depends on the situation! If they have ulterior motives, so many of us will die if we don't kill them."
Jiang Youzhen didn't explain much. Asan knew a lot of her secrets. They were already in the same boat, so they had to adapt in advance.
