Chapter 340 The person beside him can best tell who a man really cares about

"But what master did she say? Wasn't she sent by that concubine to kill my sister-in-law?" Jiang Xiangxi recalled.

He remembered that his eldest sister-in-law said that after interrogation, it was found that it was the concubine who ordered it and the master was unaware of it.

Guan Li speculated: "Maybe the business went wrong, the money was gone, and these people were unwilling to let them go. Asking the aunt might not help them, and they might even wish them dead.

So you can only try your best to find the master? Didn’t Mrs. Lai say before that your sister-in-law’s father has been looking for your only daughter, your sister-in-law? "

Shen Qing made a prompt decision and apologized to Guan Li, "Ali, I'm afraid I can't let Lao Er accompany you to the shop today."

"Mom, I can still tell which is more important! Let alone shopping today, even buying dowry before the wedding can't compare to what Sister Bing is doing!" Guan Li said directly.

That's her sister A Bing. Especially since her father, who is an official, is looking for her, he doesn't seem like a good person.

It’s hard to say whether it’s a blessing or a curse. After all, the miserable life that Sister Bing has lived since she was a child is all caused by her biological father!

Shen Qing was very pleased and assigned them: "The men just said that it would take about twelve days to go to the capital. The two maids left before the New Year. If they are coming, they should be here in the next few days.

"Second brother, you stay here and watch. Ali and I will go find someone."

When they entered the city this time, there was nothing new, except for a lot of people!

Leaving a few here is no problem at all.

Jiang Xiangxi nodded heavily, stepped out with his long legs, squatted at the corner of the eaves, looking like he was waiting for someone, and glanced at the opposite side from time to time out of the corner of his eyes.

Shen Qing and Guan Li hurriedly drove to look for someone.

Shen Qing thought about the suitable candidates to stay in the city. The Lei family was a native local. They often came to the city to sell prey over the years, and they were familiar with many merchants even if they had no personal relationship with them.

Lei Qigui and Lei Xiaoman are young, but they are very smart and the young boys will not make people guard against them.

Feng Meng is strong and knows kung fu, and he looks fierce and not someone who is easy to mess with, so he is also suitable for the job.

The three people who were found were confused, but at Shen Qing's instruction, they didn't ask anything and followed obediently.

In the carriage, Shen Qing told them what had happened and their speculations.

The three of them had excitement shining in their eyes. They swallowed and nodded continuously.

"Don't worry, Auntie! I will definitely complete it well!"

"Me too!"

This is just like in the opera. Who would have thought that one day they would be able to do something great and important!

Shen Qing didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He took out some silver and stuffed it into the three people's hands, and arranged: "You stay in the inn for the next few days, and leave a double donkey cart. Remember, just snoop around and don't alert the enemy!

If no one shows up after seven or eight days, you can come back. If anyone does show up, and you know who they are and how many there are, send someone back to tell us."

Those men don't seem to be patient. It takes twenty-two days to go to the capital and back. Now we are almost there, so they will extend the time for three to five days at most. If no one comes after three to five days, I'm afraid Lai Ma will not survive!

If they are confirmed dead, they can come back.

If someone comes, see how many servants come, their attitude, and their working style...

The three of them were like soldiers who had been assigned an important task. After listening carefully, they nodded excitedly.

After everything was arranged here, Shen Qing did not delay the purchase.

Money is being spent like water these days, with only outgoings and no incomings, so earning money is urgent.

In particular, everything needs money to support it. Money is the confidence. The more things there are to do, the more money-making business cannot be delayed.

She first sent Guan Li to Zhao Mingyue's place, asked her to go to the store with them to buy things, and then drove alone to buy gas.

I bought some pork fat and sesame oil from the mall, filled the carriage completely without leaving any space, and then headed to the meeting place.

The number of return vehicles more than doubled. Every household had plenty of money, and when the vehicles were finally empty, they immediately went on a shopping spree, buying up everything they could use and stockpiling it - after all, they would need it later, and they couldn't wait until they needed it to find out they didn't have it!

Having enough money is good, they also have enough food.

In addition to Shen Qing who bought a large amount of pork fat, other families not only bought a large amount of pork, but also bought a lot of pig offal and pig bones. No matter what, anything that is greasy is meat.

There was no space left in Shen Qing's car, but fortunately Guan Li came with him and bought tickets for both her family and the Guan family.

Shen Qing felt relieved. The mall had not yet opened for meat, so the various meats he bought could not be added to the store, so he could only prepare enough for himself to eat.

The consequence of the massive purchases was that not only Shen Qing was worried about money, but other families in the village, except for Mr. Jiang and his family, also began to worry.

They originally had dozens of taels of silver, and they felt at ease for a while. They bought things before the New Year and built a school after the New Year, and they spent a few taels of silver at a time, and they didn't feel anything.

But today I bought two donkeys at once, which cost a total of twenty-two taels. The carriages cost two and a half taels of silver each, so two donkeys cost five taels, which means I spent twenty-seven taels at once!

Including the things I bought, it was almost thirty taels.

The difference between a few taels and dozens of taels is quite big!

The deposit of several dozen taels of silver immediately shrank to a few dozen taels, and what followed was the cost of reclaiming wasteland for sowing seeds, buying seeds and fruit trees, all of which cost money.

The grain cannot be harvested until autumn, and the same goes for medicinal herbs!

Fortunately, they still have the wages for making brushes, but they worry every day when the brushes are not sold...

After Shen Qing came back, he went directly to Mr. Jiang's house and told him what had happened in the city.

He added, "It will take two or three days for someone from the capital to arrive. If they don't come, it will probably take seven or eight days to confirm. I think selling goods outside is also important, so let's select some men to transport the goods first."

Li Xiulan asked timidly, "Sister-in-law, Ah Bing's father is an official. If he comes with troops, what will we do if our husband is away?"

Shen Qing looked over and said with a smile: "Xiu Lan, you also know that the other party is an official, and a high-ranking official! If he really comes with troops, even if all our men are in the village, can we fight them head-on?"

This is not the group of rabble that Liu Sheng led before, no one would care even if they were beaten to death.

They were officials and soldiers, belonging to the imperial court. Wouldn't going against them be tantamount to rebellion?!

Mr. Jiang also thought about this and said thoughtfully: "Indeed, it is useless for us all to wait in the village, so we should do what we need to do.

Besides, that old woman said that Song Shu has been looking for his daughter. Even if he doesn't like this daughter very much, he is probably unwilling to recognize her at most."

If there were many children, one might still worry that a daughter living away from home would ruin the family's reputation, but with this only bloodline, it's completely different!

Besides, if he didn't really care about her, the concubine in Song Shu's backyard wouldn't repeatedly risk money to take Huo Bing's life.

The person next to him can best perceive who and what a man really cares about.
