Chapter 243 Sending a Beauty

"Understood. I'm sure Lord Mingsi has a plan in mind for how to punish this man. We don't need to get involved. Send someone to investigate the county magistrate. Find out which wealthy merchant he bought the 'skinny horse' from. Then investigate that merchant to see if there's anything wrong with him. Also, find out why he gave the 'skinny horse' to the man now. He hasn't done anything wrong."

"This servant understands. This servant takes his leave."

It's no wonder Bobo is overthinking things. The main reason is that although the county magistrate's official position is small, he is in charge of all kinds of affairs in the county, and his power is not small.

Besides, the county magistrate was in charge of matters within the county. Although he had some connection with the railway bureau, the relationship was too distant and completely unrelated. There was really no need for him to spend money to buy a "skinny horse" to curry favor with Fucha Mingsi.

Fucha Mingsi was referring to a third-rank official, but his system was not closely related to the interests of the imperial court for the time being, and the railway bureau could not interfere in other matters.

It was just enough to get the county magistrate to bow; it really wasn't a big deal.

So the magistrate's elaborate scheme really aroused Bobo's suspicion!

Because wealthy businessmen are not easy to investigate, Bobo got a day off first.

On their day off, Bobo and Fucha Mingsi dressed quite modestly, looking like any other wealthy young master, using fabrics that could be found locally.

After all, many of Bobo's clothes are not suitable for ordinary people.

The two were talking in the carriage, and it felt like they had arrived at their destination in no time.

After getting off the carriage, we entered Wu's Department Store.

Bobo came here today mainly to check the accounts, but since he brought his friend along, and heard that Fucha Qinglan had never been to Wu's Department Store before, Bobo planned to show him around first.

So, without any restrictions, we started by looking at the first floor. Although the items on the first floor were relatively cheap, most of the things sold were things that shouldn't exist in this era, such as soap, toothbrushes, toothpaste, needles and thread... These things were mostly affordable for ordinary people.

Fucha Qinglan knew most of the things on the first floor. Although he didn't go out, someone would naturally buy the things he used on a daily basis, so he didn't find them anything new or interesting.

So they quickly finished exploring the first floor, and then the two were about to head to the second floor when they heard, "Make way, can't you see our young master is here?"
