Chapter 148 Clues

When Jiang Shu was inspecting the silk shop, he met Jiang Yun.

After not seeing her for a few months, Jiang Yun had become a married woman with a bun.

At that time, Jiang Yun was selecting silk fabrics in the shop, and Lin Rui was accompanying her.

"Why are they all common goods? I don't want them. I heard that your silk shop has silk fabrics woven and dyed with exclusive secret methods. Bring them here for me to see."

Jiang Yun picked for a long time but didn't find anything she liked, so she asked the waiter to bring new ones.

The waiter knew her, and although he was not welcoming, he still brought a few pieces of silk fabrics.

Jiang Yun liked two pieces of silk and asked about the price to make two sets of summer clothes.

However, after the clerk told her the price, Jiang Yun raised her eyebrows and said, "It's so expensive, are you guys trying to steal money?"

There were other customers in the shop. When they heard this, they turned their heads and looked sideways, casting strange eyes and whispering.

"Madam, this silk is made of the best raw silk and woven with unique techniques. Our clerk is the only one in Beijing that has it. The ladies and girls of the noble families all wear it."

The clerk patiently explained, but Jiang Yun didn't listen at all and started to make a fuss in the shop.

"Call your shopkeeper."

The clerk couldn't do anything about Jiang Yun, and he couldn't just chase her away. He sighed and was about to call the shopkeeper when Jiang Shu came over.

"Boss." The clerk's eyes lit up, as if he had seen a savior.

Lin Rui and Jiang Yun, who were facing away from each other, turned around and saw Jiang Shu, who was handsome and handsome in men's clothes. They were all surprised.

Although Jiang Yun was also quite pretty, she was far inferior to Jiang Shu. Moreover, Jiang Yun had a violent temper. She looked down on Lin Rui even though she knew nothing. She scolded him and belittled him.

On the other hand, Jiang Shu was smart and capable, with a refined appearance, gentle temperament and good manners. Now she is the boss of Jiang's family and is in charge of a huge family business. She is simply the good wife that every man dreams of.

Lin Rui's eyes were full of surprise and regret. It was a pity that such a woman did not belong to him.

"Are you...are you okay?" Jiang Yun looked at Jiang Shu, who was unharmed, as if she had seen a ghost.

Jiang Shu was quick to notice her strangeness and the deep meaning behind her words. He frowned and asked tentatively, "What should I do?"

Jiang Yun was surprised that she had said something wrong. She covered up in a panic, "This fabric is so expensive. Is your brain okay?"

Jiang Shu smiled lightly, "Jiang's business has always been clearly marked with prices. If you think the price is not suitable, you can look at other things."

"What do you mean, are you mocking me for not being able to afford it?" Jiang Yun was so angry that her face turned red and she shouted loudly, "How can you bully and humiliate customers when you open the door for business?" Jiang

Yun's noise made the customers in the shop stop choosing and look lively.

Jiang Yun was very satisfied with their reaction. She looked at Jiang Shu provocatively with a smug look on her face.

After confirming that Jiang Yun was looking for trouble, Jiang Shu was not panicked. She said calmly, "If the lady says so, then go to the government office to report to the officials and ask the official to make a fair judgment."

She was too lazy to deal with the rogue and wanted to take the opportunity to deceive Jiang Yun.

Sure enough, when Jiang Yun heard the official's words, her expression immediately became flustered and she stammered, "Humph! You are not the only silk shop in Beijing. If you do this, you will be closed sooner or later."

After speaking, Jiang Yun hurriedly left with Lin Rui.

Lin Rui looked back frequently with doubts, not understanding why Jiang Yun was so panicked.

Jiang Shu looked at Jiang Yun's fleeing back and began to speculate. What happened last night was most likely done by Jiang Yun.

After thinking about it, Jiang Shu decided to go to the government office in person.

Before leaving, she loudly told the customers in the shop: "I am very sorry to disturb your interest. To express my apology, whether you buy or not, you will be given a handkerchief as an apology gift."

After this, the customers in the shop were delighted and no longer unhappy.

Although people are greedy for bargains, they also have a sense of shame. Most customers will not feel comfortable accepting gifts until they have purchased the goods.

In this way, it is not a loss but a gain. When

the shopkeeper Liu learned about this, he took an abacus to calculate and praised Jiang Shu for his good brain.

The sun was shining brightly. Lord He, who was sleeping soundly after a busy night, heard the yamen runner report that Jiang Shu had come, and forced himself to open his sleepy eyes and get up.

Lord He thought Jiang Shu was here to inquire about the progress, and as soon as he saw her, he said with a bitter face: "We worked hard all night last night, but we only found out the identity of the criminal, and have not found out anything else. Miss Jiang, please give me a few more days, and I will

do my best to track her down." If Jiang Shu was just an ordinary businessman, Lord He would naturally not take her seriously, but she was behind King Jing, so he dared not neglect her at all.

Hearing Lord He's words, Jiang Shu was stunned: "My Lord, you misunderstood. I am here to provide you with the direction of tracing clues."

"Oh?" Lord He was refreshed when he heard it, and he was not sleepy immediately.

Jiang Shu told Jiang Yun's words and the anomaly truthfully.

Lord He said decisively after hearing it: "With my many years of experience in solving cases, this matter must be related to her."

"Lord He is wise, then I will trouble you, Lord He." Jiang Shu bowed and complimented.

"Miss Jiang, you are too polite. This is my duty." Lord He stroked his short beard and acted like a proper official.

Jiang Shu smiled and praised him a few times, then said goodbye and left.

As the saying goes, people always meet each other. Jiang Shu ran into Fang Mingxu not long after he left the government office.

"Boss Jiang." Fang Mingxu greeted him with a warm smile.

"Boss Fang." Jiang Shu looked indifferent.

Fang Mingxu didn't care. He looked at the teahouse not far away and said, "It's better to meet by chance than to invite each other. Boss Jiang, would you please have a cup of tea with me?"

Jiang Shu didn't want to pay attention to him, but she nodded when she thought of the fact that he had helped her in front of Zhaojue Temple last time.

The two of them went to the teahouse together and asked for a quiet and elegant room.

After the tea came, Fang Mingxu poured it for Jiang Shu attentively.

Being attentive without any reason must have ulterior motives. Jiang Shu was extremely alert.

"The business of Jiang Ji Yi Zhuang is getting more and more prosperous. Boss Jiang is really good at it." Fang Mingxu casually picked a topic and looked at Jiang Shu with admiration in his eyes.

But when Jiang Shu heard this, he thought Fang Mingxu was up to something again, and his expression turned cold: "Boss Fang is going to make things difficult for Jiang Ji?"

Fang Mingxu was shocked when he heard this, and realized that she had misunderstood, and hurriedly said: "No, I want to cooperate with Boss Jiang."

"Boss Fang is such a joker." Jiang Shu sneered, with disbelief written on his face.

Knowing that she was very prejudiced against him, Fang Mingxu sighed and said, "To show my sincerity, I will provide Boss Jiang with one thing."

Jiang Shu was on guard.

"The landslide that your father encountered a few months ago was probably not an accident."

"What did you say?" Jiang Shu was shocked and her face changed instantly.

Having expected her to react like this, Fang Mingxu said, "I have cooperated with Jiang Shaohua and Jiang Shaohe before, and I heard some words from them that were very suspicious."

"Since it was a cooperation, how could Boss Fang betray his ally?" Jiang Shu calmed down and felt that Fang Mingxu was cunning and treacherous, and his words could not be fully trusted.

"I said, we have cooperated before, and I have cut off contact with them a few days ago." Fang Mingxu told her frankly.

Jiang Shu frowned: "Why?"

Fang Mingxu sighed: "They are too stupid, not as good as Boss Jiang."

Jiang Shu snorted: "Boss Fang cooperated with them to plot against Jiangji, what do you want to plot by cooperating with me?"

"You." Fang Mingxu stared at Jiang Shu with a burning gaze.
