Chapter 378 Lin Qingyuan is in trouble

Now that the identities have been revealed, no one is hiding anything anymore.

According to Song Liyun, Ruzhu Pavilion has perfect jewelry processing skills and craftsmen, so it should take over the production of ox horn products.

For Ruzhuge, processing ox horns is really a waste of resources. It is like using a sledgehammer to kill a chicken. Small folding fans, pendants, and beads are all children's toys and are almost not worth considering.

But there was one thing that Lin Qingyuan couldn't resist.

That was the "button" that Song Liyun took out.

Wu Dynasty clothing had no buttons.

This cheap little item, which can not only fix the belt and prevent it from getting tangled, but also serve as a waist ornament, will definitely become a standard feature on every piece of clothing.

Moreover, it will also be loved by the upper class if it is inlaid with jewels and jade.

With the money right before his eyes, Wan Yanming no longer hesitated and immediately promised to be responsible for the sales of all ox horn products produced by Ruzhu Pavilion.

Lin Qingyuan snorted twice, his frivolous side still looming. Song Liyun quickly said, "Okay, the business matter is settled. Master Lin, is there anything you need our help with?"

The Lin Mansion was still surrounded. Although Lin Qingyuan had come out, it was still inconvenient for him to act.

Lin Qingyuan's eyes lit up instantly at the concern, but he shook his head and said, "Don't bother others with my affairs! But... Manager Wan, Brother Yanming, if anything unexpected happens, please go to Anshun Lane to find Lin Luyin. She's my sister."

This was a small matter, and Manager Wan agreed immediately.

The meal continues.

Suddenly, Old Qian rushed into the private room, not caring about the three outsiders, and said to Lin Qingyuan, "Master, there are soldiers arresting people on the street outside!"

Lin Qingyuan's expression changed: "Who are you catching?"

"The manager and clerk of the Lin family shop have all been detained, and..."

Before he finished speaking, the voice of the waiter who was serving dishes came from downstairs: "General, that Lin Qingyuan is in the private room upstairs."

Lin Qingyuan immediately cursed: "I'm going to report this bastard to the authorities!"

He wandered around Pingyang Prefecture without restraint, and countless people knew him, even a little-known restaurant waiter like him.

Lin Qingyuan stood up and approached Song Liyun. He glanced at Wan Yanming and said frivolously, "Miss Song, I'd like to entrust my sister and mother to your care. I'm worried that this Wan guy is unreliable!"

As he said this, he quickly took out a small thing from his waist and threw it into Song Liyun's arms without leaving any trace.

The matter was urgent, and he still didn't trust the Wan family that much. Moreover, if anything happened, Ruzhu Pavilion would also need someone to take charge.

Before Song Liyun could reply, Lin Qingyuan had already reached the edge of the private room window. Lao Qian grabbed his belt and jumped without hesitation. Lin Qingyuan let out a low cry of pain before he quickly disappeared at the end of the alley.

This escape was done so smoothly, I don't know how many times I had practiced it before.

Song Liyun had just picked up the ring from her lapel and put it on her finger when the door of the private room was suddenly pushed open.

A soldier in helmet and armor rushed in with a sword slung over his waist.

He stared at the three people in the room who seemed to be still in shock. Seeing no one else, he couldn't help but wonder, "Where is the suspect from the Lin family?"

After a cup of tea, Song Liyun and the uncle and nephew of the Wan family came down from upstairs.

Walking through the front hall, I saw the fat shopkeeper standing in the corner with a look of fear and trepidation on his face, while the waiter had fingerprints on half of his face and was kneeling in front of an official in a green official uniform.

He was still stubborn at this time and said, "Sir, when I went to deliver the food, I did see that rogue young master from the Lin family inside, so I reported the news."

He saw Song Liyun and the other two coming down and said quickly, "If you take these three people back and investigate them thoroughly, you will definitely be able to find Lin Qingyuan's whereabouts."

This person is smart, but unfortunately he can't get what he wants.

The soldier in charge of the search said to the official, "Your Excellency, there are only three people in the private room, and there are only three sets of bowls and chopsticks on the table."

The clerk suddenly became anxious: "No, Junye, look again, there must be another set of bowls and chopsticks hidden!"

The armored sergeant glared and asked, "Does the lord have to follow your instructions when investigating the case?"

The official knew that the news must have leaked from somewhere, but he hadn't caught the person yet, so he couldn't just take the person away based on a guy's one-sided statement.

Besides, Lin Qingyuan is just a playboy and not an important person.

Since the soldier who searched said there was nothing, then there was nothing. Anyway, the people handling this case are from the Censorate, and it has nothing to do with me.

He stood up and without even asking any questions to Song Liyun and the others, he asked the bailiff to take the waiter who had given "perjury" away from the restaurant.

Song Liyun and the other two didn't say much and went their separate ways after leaving the restaurant.

Only after returning to the inn did Song Liyun carefully look at the ring that Lin Qingyuan threw to her.

The style is ordinary, except for a crooked word "zhu" engraved on the inner wall.

This should be the token of Ruzhu Pavilion!

Tsk tsk tsk!

Lin Qingyuan is willing to entrust such an important thing to me, he really trusts me!

If I find a way to kill Lin Qingyuan while taking the opportunity, I will get a jewelry store for free.

Song Liyun weighed the ring in her palm. She had no intention of thinking about Ruzhu Pavilion, but was only thinking about what Lin Qingyuan said.

At first, he wanted the Wan family to take care of his sister and mother, and now he entrusts Ruzhu Pavilion to himself and says that he does not trust the Wan family.

No, I have to transfer Lin Qingyuan's sister and mother first, or at least see how the Wan family will deal with it.

And whether Lin Qingyuan can escape safely, this opportunity was bought by Wan Yanming with a hundred taels of silver.

A set of bowls and chopsticks costs a hundred taels of silver!

There was no curfew in Pingyang Prefecture, so Song Liyun asked Fang Zheng to find a carriage, changed her clothes, and headed to Anshun Lane.

Unexpectedly, he met Wan Yanming on the way. He was here to transfer three generations of Lin Luyin's family.

Lin Luyin is worthy of being Lin Qingyuan's biological sister. She has a pretty face and a delicate heart.

Although he was woken up in the middle of the night and did not recognize the two people, after seeing the ring on Song Liyun's hand and confirming that she was Song Liyun through words, he immediately took his mother, Aunt Liu, and his three-year-old child and followed her to the Wan family villa.

No worries.

The next day, Song Liyun went to Ruzhu Pavilion.

Just as she showed the ring, she was surprised when the shopkeeper said calmly, "I already know about Miss Song's relationship with the boss, and I've also instructed that if anything happens, Ruzhu Pavilion will be managed by Miss Song."

Song Liyun was a little surprised.

Lin Qingyuan built this best jewelry store in just five years. In addition to being smart and daring, he also has a good eye for people.

Although he is usually not very serious, he actually has great trust in his subordinates. No wonder Lao Qian and the others follow him so wholeheartedly.

Nothing happened at Ruzhu Pavilion. When Song Liyun returned to the inn, she saw Lin Qingyuan's guard Lao Qian waiting for her.

"Young Madam, please save the young master!"

This sentence made Song Liyun's face change: "Tell me more carefully, didn't we catch him yesterday? Why does he need to be rescued again?"

Old Qian said, "Yesterday, the young master fled back to the Lin Mansion. I just thought he was not in charge of things at home and would be released after being detained for a while.

But I didn’t expect that many of the items found in the Lin Mansion were contraband. Everyone will be sent to Hecheng for retrial, or even to the capital.”
