Chapter 185: Just as she was about to take a closer look, there was a sudden noise outside the warehouse.
These tussah silks are highly resistant to acids and alkalis, have unique colors, coarse fibers, and better warmth retention.
Compared with silkworms, although it is not as soft, it is more suitable for the needs of the north.
Just the need to keep warm and breathable is already a basic need for people.
The underwear they make is not only breathable but also warm. When paired with their small vests, they will definitely sell for a good price when the weather gets cooler.
It only takes about 60 days for a normal tussah silkworm to grow from the egg stage to the adult stage and then produce cocoons.
That's why it started to spin silk after only being placed in space for one day.
The output is high and the demand is great. Once Jiang Zhen's problem is solved, she can consider renting a mountain and hiring people to raise the fish.
As for the remaining spinning and weaving, she still needs to go to the cloth workshop in Tunan City or Guancheng to learn more about it in detail.
Just as he was thinking about it, Ruan Mian accidentally saw a piece of cloth woven with tussah silk in a box that had been moved in.
Just as she was about to take a closer look, there was a sudden noise outside the warehouse.
Ruan Mian immediately left the space, and when he saw that it was Xie Huaian, he walked up to him calmly.
She blocked Xie Huaian's gaze from the warehouse and urged him, "It's getting late, let's go first! I've already got what I wanted, what about you? Did you find anything?"
Xie Huaian shook his head and said truthfully: "I took a quick look and there is no sign of him in the mansion for the time being."
Maybe it's somewhere else, or maybe there's some place in the mansion that they don't know about.
Just as Ruan Mian thought, if Jiang Zhen was still alive, they would definitely not put him in a conspicuous place.
Thinking of her aunt, Ruan Mian made up her mind that she would definitely see Jiang Zhen alive or dead.
"Sir, I didn't expect Jiang Dao to show up. Maybe I have to stay in Tunan City for a while longer."
Xie Huaian naturally understood: "I will be by your side, no matter what happens, I will do my best to help you."
Ruan Mian's face flushed and a warm feeling surged in his heart.
It is also a wonderful feeling to be remembered and cared for by others all the time.
Since this was the case, her goal became clearer: "Jiang Dao has usurped my throne. Since this is Jiang Zhen's residence, I will not let Jiang Dao have his way. As for Jiang Zhen, I will also find out the reason."
"Let's go back to the inn first. I have something to ask the mute girl."
Xie Huaian nodded lightly and took her out of the house smoothly.
The mute girl seemed to have been prepared for the fact that they did not find Jiang Zhen, but her eyes still couldn't hide her disappointment.
But she trusted Ruan Mian a little more, and she wrote down all the questions Ruan Mian asked her, as long as she knew them, truthfully on paper.
When talking about some of Jiang Dao's interpersonal relationships, the mute girl told her that after Jiang Dao was recognized as Jiang Zhen's brother, he also married Anyang, the daughter of the city lord.
All the terrible wounds on the mute girl's body were caused by this person. Seeing her write those words with gritted teeth, Ruan Mian couldn't help but frown.
"How could she treat you like this? But you wrote here that she would seek treatment from a doctor in the city every few days. But what is her hidden illness?"
The mute girl shook her head, she didn't know either.
But this was also a clue, so she immediately asked the inn waiter to find a reliable servant to wait outside Tuji's mansion.
Once the lady of that mansion sends someone to find a doctor, tell me.
…
The next day, at Tuji's residence.
A dissatisfied voice of a woman came from the main house: "Daolang! How can you be so fast? I... I haven't even enjoyed it yet!"
Jiang Dao hurriedly fastened his belt while explaining, "Madam, I have something to worry about. Look how anxious the steward is. It's about the city lord. We can't be careless."
After saying that, he touched the woman's cheek and said meaningfully, "I'll make it up to you tonight when my husband comes back."
The woman coquettishly grabbed Jiang Daozhi's hand and said, "Daolang, there's one thing I haven't told you yet. We sold that mute girl to a brothel, but yesterday I heard someone actually bought her freedom! Are you angry?"
"I am unwilling to give up. The mute girl hurt me before, and the wound has not healed yet. So I want to ask Daolang for two people to help me capture the mute girl!"
At this moment, the steward was urging from outside: "Young Master, Young Master!"
Jiang Dao was so upset that he yelled, "Why are you urging me?"
After saying that, he didn't care about anything else: "Okay, okay, I'll ask the manager to find two people to catch you later."
Under the woman's gentle gaze, Jiang Dao left the main house.
As soon as I left the room, I saw the steward's anxious face, and he frowned impatiently.
"What's got you so anxious?! Don't even mention that the City Lord wants us to prepare a few more batches of goods?"
He was a little proud: "That's right, now all the affairs of Tuji Mansion are under my control, so naturally I have to make the decision when something good like this happens."
At this moment, he thought it was a great thing, but the manager knelt on the ground with a thud and spoke in a panic with a trembling voice.
"No, no, sir!"
"This is terrible! The goods we sent to the city lord...it's gone missing!"
"What?!"
Jiang Dao's body swayed a bit. "What do you mean by disappeared?! I put them all in the storeroom inside the mansion, and kept them well. How could they disappear without a trace?"
"Really, sir, it's not just that batch of goods, everything in the warehouse is gone, even the tables, chairs, and window paper."
Hearing this, Jiang Dao kicked the manager and said, "Nonsense! I think you're out of your mind. With such a big warehouse and so many things, how could you..."
"Please spare my life, young master. I dare not speak nonsense. You will know the truth if you go and see for yourself!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Dao threw his sleeves and left!
He just didn't believe that such a big warehouse with so many things in it could just disappear.
Even if a thief came, it would be impossible for him to take away so many things without telling anyone in the mansion.
Where in this world can one find such extraordinary people?
However, when he arrived at the warehouse and saw that the room had indeed become empty, his eyes suddenly went dark and he almost lost his footing.
A group of servants were kneeling beside him. Jiang Dao rushed into the house in disbelief and searched every corner, but there was really nothing inside.
He was furious and couldn't help but yell, "How is this possible? How is this possible?!"
"With so many things being shipped out of the mansion, are all the people there dead?"
The other things in here are gone, but those fine porcelains were the gifts from his distinguished father-in-law to Prince Hu Shi on behalf of Prince Qinji.
Congratulations to Prince Hu Shi for regaining jurisdiction over the border of Guancheng.
There must be no mistakes!!
At the moment, this group of people were still indifferent, so he angrily kicked several servants on the buttocks and roared.
"What are you still standing there for? Why don't you report it to the police? Hurry and investigate! You must catch that thief and use his head as a sacrifice to the gods!"
