Chapter 208:
He will be interrogated soon It was exactly as Xu Muhua expected. Her ordinary and unknown store really entered the public's view because of this incident. To be more precise, it entered the view of the powerful in the capital.
Although many people are still skeptical, it has indeed attracted everyone's attention anyway, and it is also a good start.
At this time, Li Gang, who has been imprisoned, feels like he is dreaming.
Two days ago, he was still the high and mighty Minister of War and the uncle of the fourth prince. Now, in the blink of an eye, he has become a prisoner.
In the officialdom, he has always been cautious, thinking three steps ahead, and he has climbed to this position steadily all the way, and has never made any mistakes. Why can't he get up this time?
When did it start?
He thought about it and soon confirmed that it started from that night!
Since the account book was stolen, things have been out of control step by step, and finally developed to the point where it is now irreversible!
And he also discovered that there is a person involved!
That is the eldest lady of the Chengguo Mansion!
Until now, Li Gang still doesn't want to believe that Xu Muhua was the one who did it. He still believes that it was the Chengguo Mansion that pushed Xu Muhua out to cover up the truth.
And there is that store called Bai Xiaosheng.
The person he sent to keep an eye on it two days ago sent back a message saying that the store had helped Xu Muhua find out the news. But he didn't believe it at all!
But now he couldn't help but start to doubt again.
But no matter how suspicious he was, no matter how much he wanted to confirm it, he had no chance, because he was locked up in prison and would be executed soon.
"Master, is the rumor out there true?"
asked Dou, the wife of Doctor Guanglu.
"Why are you asking this?"
Guan Shan, Doctor Guanglu, frowned, and asked casually without thinking much after hearing his wife's words.
"Why ask this? It's still the same thing! The account book was stolen and hasn't been found yet. How can I feel at ease?"
Guan Shan's eyebrows jumped, and he quickly glanced around, then whispered: "Why are you bringing up this matter again? Aren't you afraid that others will overhear it!"
"Who dares to eavesdrop in my own home?"
Dou didn't care.
Guan Shan said unhappily, "The account book was safely at home, but it disappeared without a trace, didn't it?"
"That's why I asked you if the rumor outside is true. If he is really that powerful, do you think we can get our money back if we ask this person for help?"
Guan Shan laughed, "You are just daydreaming. It's all nonsense outside, and you believe it. If he is really that powerful, why would he open a store!" Dou
said as a matter of course, "How can you make money if you don't open a store? I heard that the price of taking over a pile of business is not low! Only those who have the ability can open a store . If
you don't have the ability, why open a store?" Guan Shan was so angry that his breathing was blocked. He said unhappily, "Anyway, don't think about it, it's impossible! The capital has been uneasy recently, you better behave yourself!"
Dou was dissatisfied, "What do you mean by saying this, old man? When did I become unruly?"
"If you behave yourself, can you lend money at usury?" Guan
Shan was furious when he heard this.
Dou stiffened her neck and said righteously, "What's wrong with me lending money at usury? It's all for you and this family. Without me lending money at usury, how could you live a carefree and comfortable life? Do you think the thing hanging around your waist fell from the sky for you?"
Just this string of jade pendants costs three hundred taels of silver. Can he buy it with his salary? Don't be ridiculous.
Guan Shan reflexively reached out to cover the jade pendant around his waist, his face a little embarrassed.
After a while, he shook his sleeves vigorously, "Anyway, don't mess around with this matter! Go out less recently if you have nothing to do, so as not to cause any trouble. Do you hear me!"
Dou rolled her eyes and said perfunctorily, "I heard you, I heard you!"
No way!
She had to give it a try no matter
what! How could Guan Shan know that his wife really believed the rumors outside? He told her to stay out of the house recently, but she couldn't wait to go out the next day!
Dou Shi searched for a long time before finally finding Bai Xiaosheng's yard. Looking at the not-so-big, not-so-perfect flag, and very ordinary yard, she couldn't help but doubt and even wanted to back out.
But since she was here, she wouldn't lose a few hairs if she took a look.
She winked at the maid beside her, and she immediately went forward and knocked on the door.
Soon Feng Lao San came to open the door.
Seeing Feng Lao San, the old woman frowned: "Don't you have maids and old women to receive guests?"
Feng Lao San smiled, "You are joking. Do you think any woman in our business can do this?"
Except their boss.
This question really stumped the old woman.
Yes, how could a decent woman show up in public to do this.
"Come in!"
Feng Lao San opened the door and stepped back a few steps.
If you want to come in, come in. If not, he will close the door.
Dou led the maids, old women and guards in.
Seeing this scene, Feng Lao San's eyes flashed.
Well, it seems to be a big customer!
Business is coming!
Dou went in and took a look at the simple house first, and finally nodded lightly.
It was a bit shabby, but fortunately it looked very clean.
"What information does Madam want?"
The eldest brother Feng was in charge of reception, and the third brother Feng brewed tea and brought it up.
Although the conditions were better than at the beginning, the tea was not much different.
So after taking a sip, Dou didn't want to drink it anymore, thinking it was simply unpalatable.
"Can you really get all the information here?"
The eldest brother Feng smiled humbly, "How can we find out all the information? It depends on what the customer wants?" What
he meant was that they could find out everything the customer wanted, but they could not find out what the customer did not want, so there was no point in saying anything.
Dou did not expect that the people here were really arrogant and could say such things.
"Then how do I know that you will not turn around and sell the customer's information?"
"Madam, we don't like to hear that. We are in business, we only sell information, not customers." "
But what if I just left and someone came to ask you to sell what I came here for, what would you do?"
The eldest brother Feng and the third brother Feng began to suspect that this person was not here to do business, but to cause trouble.
