Chapter 1473 One Person Dies
Master Tan sighed, "Of course they've returned."
You're back?
Shu Yu asked in surprise, "When did they come back? They said they sent the Jiang family all to the north?"
Mr. Tan nodded, "Actually, I inquired about this at the beginning of this year, and they said it had been delivered."
Shu Yu was stunned. It was delivered? How could that be? Jiang Kuanyu clearly appeared at Changjin Mansion.
Mr. Tan said, "When the Jiang family left, we were all worried about Cheng's illness and didn't have the energy to deal with anything else. We only asked Jiang Kuanyu for his address when he came to visit Cheng so we could keep in touch. But Jiang Kuanyu said he had never been back to his hometown and had had conflicts with the people there, so it was uncertain whether he would still live there in the future. He said he would contact us again once he settled down."
After he said that, Master Tan agreed with him.
Ultimately, his closest confidant was Master Jiang, and his best friend was his own son, Tan Cheng, but Tan Cheng's health...
With the Jiang family gone, it remains to be seen whether the relationship between the two sides can be maintained.
Anyway, after Jiang Kuanyu left, Master Tan stopped paying attention.
It wasn't until this year's Lunar New Year, when relatives and friends came to visit, that he thought of Master Jiang and suddenly remembered that Jiang Kuanyu had never sent a letter since returning home.
With no news from the Jiang family, Master Tan went to the escort agency that had escorted them back to inquire.
It was at this moment that he learned that the escort agency the Jiang family had hired was not the largest one in the city, but a small, relatively unknown agency.
The head镖师 (bodyguard/escort) of the small镖局 (bodyguard/escort agency) said that the goods had been delivered and that they had all arrived safely in the north.
Master Tan was relieved and didn't ask any more questions.
It wasn't until two days ago, when Tan Cheng's suspicions included Jiang Kuanyu, that Master Tan began to focus his attention back on him.
Shu Yu thought of the escort agency, and Master Tan naturally thought of it too.
So yesterday, he went to the escort agency again. This time he asked more detailed questions, but the other party was impatient and said that so much time had passed, how could he remember those details?
Master Tan found it strange and asked them for the specific address, but the bodyguards were unwilling to tell him, only saying that the Jiang family did not allow them to disclose it.
“I noticed they were being secretive in their conversation, and I knew something was wrong. So when I got back, I had the housekeeper go over there to keep an eye on things and see if we could find one of the people who escorted them and ask them.”
Before Master Tan could finish speaking, his attendant came in from outside and said, "Master, Steward Tang has returned."
Speak of the devil and he appears.
Master Tan suddenly looked up and saw the butler running over, panting heavily, his face covered in sweat.
He seemed about to speak as soon as he entered, but when he turned his head and saw Shu Yu, he suddenly closed his mouth, leaving only heavy breathing.
Master Tan asked him to sit down, and a servant brought him a cup of tea. After Steward Tang drank it, he said, "Did you find out anything about the Jiang family from the escort agency? Just tell me, let Lord Lu hear it too."
With Master Tan's words of reassurance, Butler Tang felt relieved.
He slowly exhaled and evened his breath, his eyes widening slightly as if he had some shocking news. "Master, not all of the dozen or so bodyguards who escorted the Jiang family back that time have returned. It is said that they encountered bandits on the way, and one of the bodyguards died."
Old Master Tan frowned suddenly. "Dead?"
Butler Tang nodded repeatedly.
Mr. Tan was puzzled, "How come there hasn't been any news about this at all?"
