Chapter 1472 Several Questions from Shu Yu
Master Tan really didn't have time to investigate this matter, after all, Jiang Kuanyu had sold off quite a few estates, shops and houses before leaving the prefectural city.
Shu Yu rubbed her temples. "Yes, I originally thought this was just a matter of the money being exchanged. It was the first time I had met Young Master Jiang, and so much time had passed since the transaction was completed, so there shouldn't have been any problems. But if Young Master Jiang really poisoned Young Master Tan, then he is not as kind as he seems on the surface, and he is quite cunning. That makes me uneasy."
Upon hearing this, Master Tan chuckled and said, "There's no need to worry about Lord Lu. He sold off all his properties before he left. There are many buyers, and it's not targeting you personally. His poisoning of my son was a personal grudge."
Shu Yu's eyes flickered upon hearing this. It seemed that the Tan family, like her, believed that although there were three suspects, the real culprit was Jiang Kuanyu.
Shu Yu sighed, "Young Master Jiang did have many buyers for the properties he sold, but the land he sold to me was sold at a lower price. Don't you think that's strange?"
The Tan father and son were taken aback by this, and immediately asked, "A voluntary price reduction? Why?"
"Young Master Jiang said that I am kind-hearted and treat the tenants well, and he wanted to make a good connection with them. So after we finished bargaining, he lowered the price for me by two hundred taels. I was very happy at the time, thinking that Young Master Jiang was a good person. But he is the kind of person who would turn on a good friend. That has nothing to do with kindness. Why would he suddenly lower the price for me for such a reason? The more I think about it, the more uneasy I feel. I'm afraid there's something wrong with the estate and the land. So, I rushed here today to ask you for more information."
Upon hearing her words, the Tan father and son took it seriously.
Tan Cheng pursed his lips and straightened his back slightly. "Lu Xiangjun, ask away. I will answer everything I know."
"I heard that Young Master Jiang went back to his hometown. Where is his hometown?"
“The North.” This is what Master Tan knows. “Jiang Kuanyu’s father came to Dong’an Prefecture twenty-eight years ago, before Jiang Kuanyu was even born. When they first arrived, they spoke with a northern accent. They weren’t used to the climate here at first, but I’ve forgotten exactly which part of the North. It’s been so long. He only mentioned a county town back then. I guess he had some unpleasantness with his hometown, which is why he left his home and came to this far away place. He’s not very willing to talk about his hometown.”
The North? Huajiang Prefecture is in the Jiangnan region.
As expected, Jiang Kuanyu's appearance at the Meng family was aimed at Meng Yunzheng.
Shu Yu nodded thoughtfully, "Who else is in Jiang Kuanyu's family? He should be married by now, right?"
This time it was Tan Cheng who spoke. "After his father passed away, he still has his elderly mother at home. He is twenty-six years old this year and got married eight years ago. He has two children. By the way, his wife is not a local. He brought her back when he went out to do business."
His wife wasn't from here either? So once Jiang Kuanyu and his family left, he had no relatives left here?
Tsk.
"One last question." Shu Yu took a sip of water. "When the Jiang family left, with the whole family and so much luggage, and having to travel such a long distance, they must have hired a security escort agency, right?"
"Yes." Master Tan nodded.
Shu Yu narrowed her eyes and slowly asked, "Have all the bodyguards from that escort agency returned?"
