"Then...what should we do now?" The second young master Zhuang had been working hard for a whole day and night. He was exhausted and his mind was in a state of confusion.
The eldest son of the Zhuang family was also thinking about it, when the servant came.
"Sir, someone sent this."
It's a note.
Young Master Zhuang opened it, took a look, and handed it to Zhuang Er.
Zhuang Er took it and became angry when he saw the crooked words on it.
"How cautious." He read the contents clearly.
It is the location of the silver mine.
Zhuang Er understood.
This was the excuse and reason Chen Yan gave them, just like when he killed Pang Lin, he was accusing Fang Kuian of a crime.
By then, who would care why Fang Kui went to Fulai Inn?
"Gather the men and set off now." Young Master Zhuang had already walked out.
"But Dad..."
"Dad will be fine."
Commander Li left secretly, so the Northwest Army had not yet discovered his disappearance. The banker accidentally discovered that he was illegally mining silver during the suppression of bandits.
This is a crime serious enough to exterminate nine generations of the family.
The Northwest Army knew that the matter was of great importance and was afraid of being suspected by the imperial court, so they hurried to capture Commander Li, but found that he and more than a dozen people from the vanguard camp had disappeared.
So the Northwest Army sent people to investigate Commander Li and found out some other things.
At this point, Commander Li's departure was considered as fleeing for fear of punishment, and he was wanted by the court.
All of his few family members were thrown into jail.
After doing all these things, Zhuang Er suddenly remembered what Zhuang Yan had told him, the words the boss said before he died.
He said that he wanted to make sure that Commander Li had no descendants.
He said he would wait for Commander Li downstairs.
Now everything has come true.
Zhuang Er slammed the table in anger.
This must also be Chen Yan’s plan.
He was indeed in collusion with the bandit leader.
However, they could not catch Chen Yan and the others. It had been so long since the incident, and they were probably already running away.
But Father Zhuang hasn't found it yet...
At this time, someone outside brought another note.
It was still a crooked piece of handwriting that looked like a child's, and Zhuang Er saw an address.
It seems that Chen Yan's family lives there...
He immediately took people to Chen Yan's house and found Zhuang Shoubei with his eyes blindfolded.
Old Man Zhuang looked a little disheveled and a little thinner, but otherwise there was nothing wrong with him.
He said that on New Year's Eve, when he returned from Xu's house, the kitchen had prepared meals for him.
He was hungry, so he ate.
Then I fainted...
When he woke up again, he was here, and someone fed him every day.
"I don't know who it is." Zhuang Shoubei narrowed his eyes, thought carefully and said, "It seems there is a child..."
"Child?" Zhuang Er frowned.
Where did this kid come from? He suspected his father had misheard.
"The footsteps are those of children."
Zhuang Shoubei said affirmatively.
Zhuang Er looked around and suddenly saw the yard next door.
"Who lives next door?"
He took people to check, and found that the yard next door was empty. The neighbors said that the family was going to live with relatives and had already left.
Left...
very good.
Zhuang Er angrily slammed the wall.
…
The Zhuang family was rewarded for discovering the silver mine and helping to suppress the bandits. Boss Zhuang was also transferred to the Northwest Army to replace Commander Li.
The dealer didn't lose anything this time, so he gained something, but he still felt aggrieved, uncomfortable and unhappy.
Damn Chen Yan.
The second son of Zhuang later revisited Qingfeng Mountain, but there were still many things he couldn't figure out.
Chen Yan has always been under his nose, how did he contact people to help him?
Young Master Zhuang said, "Su Wei."
"Su Wei?" Zhuang Er couldn't quite remember what Su Wei looked like, but she seemed like a beautiful woman.
"Why is it her again?"
Young Master Zhuang took a sip of tea and said, "Don't forget, she accompanies mother and often goes shopping with her. She comes into contact with many people. Who would be on guard against her?"
Zhuang Er nodded.
Young Master Zhuang added, "I asked Zhuang Yan, and he said that the reason he and Shi Xiaowu went up the mountain on New Year's Eve was because Shi Xiaowu instigated him, and that Shi Xiaowu was beaten so badly by his brother that he couldn't get out of bed. If you have time, you can go and ask him why he went up the mountain that day."
Zhuang Er was unwilling to accept it, so he went to the Shi family.
Shi Xiaowu was indeed severely beaten. His mother was heartbroken and beat up Shi Lao Da again. Now Shi Xiaowu was very energetic and lying on the bed, wanting to eat this and that. When he heard that the second young master Zhuang was coming, he was shocked.
I was afraid that the second young master Zhuang was here to cause trouble.
Zhuang Er entered the room and asked everyone to leave.
Shi Xiaowu hid on the bed.
"Brother Zhuang...I...I..."
He secretly looked at Zhuang Er, and seeing that he looked unhappy, he felt even more guilty.
Zhuang Er didn't bother to care about what he thought, and asked directly, "Why did you go to Qingfeng Mountain on New Year's Eve?"
Shi Xiaowu secretly looked at Zhuang Er.
Zhuang Er sneered, "If you don't tell the truth, I'll tell your brother and give you another beating."
Shi Xiaowu quickly said, "It's...it's because of Su Wei."
Second Master Zhuang: "..."
According to Shi Xiaowu, he was bored on New Year's Eve and was wandering around his shop when he met Su Wei by chance.
Su Wei and Mrs. Zhuang were together, saying they were out shopping.
"And then?" Zhuang Er asked.
Shi Xiaowu touched his head and said, "I chatted with her for a few minutes, and she said that the young masters of the Zhuang family would not be coming back for dinner, and that you were going to Qingfeng Mountain."
"So you went?"
"kindness."
"idiot."
Zhuang Er cursed.
Shi Xiaowu shrank his head and didn't dare to look at him.
Zhuang Er thought about Shi Xiaowu's words.
Su Wei just mentioned it briefly, and it didn't sound like he had done anything intentional. Did Shi Xiaowu already have any thoughts on it?
This is too far-fetched...
Maybe this is just a coincidence...
Shi Xiaowu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Zhuang Er didn't blame him anymore.
Actually, there was something he didn't say.
Su Wei gave him a map of Qingfeng Mountain and a task.
"Mr. Shi, I know you are someone who can accomplish great things the moment I see you."
Shi Wu nodded: "You have a good eye. I am the one who can do great things."
Su Wei said: "Do you want to make a great contribution?"
"What great achievement?"
Su Wei said: "Catch the bandits..."
Shi Wu frowned: "It's very dangerous, right?"
"There are certainly dangers, but if you accomplish this, you'll be a hero." Su Wei looked at him: "Hero, don't you want to be one?"
Shi Wu was filled with passion.
"I'll think about it."
Su Wei smiled and said, "I just said it casually. Madam Zhuang called me, so I'll go back first."
After Su Wei left.
Shi Wu clenched the drawings in his hand... and then walked towards the dealer.
He didn't notice that from this moment on, a half-grown child followed him...
