Chapter 1332 Master Miao's Change
"Someone who has a grudge against Young Master Meng?" Qi Lie stood up, frowning in thought.
Shu Yu sighed, "A-Yun has thought about it carefully and ruled out all the possibilities. The most likely one is Gong Qiu, but he was beheaded last year. To be honest, this matter has been weighing on our minds. If we can find the person behind it sooner and clear up our doubts, we can feel more at ease."
Qi Lie pursed his lips. If that was the case, they could follow Meng Yunzheng's lead to investigate.
But as Lu Xiangjun said, Young Master Meng's biggest enemy over the years is Gong Qiu, something he never expected. How could they possibly investigate?
"No matter what, I still want to go and take a look at the black market."
Shu Yu nodded, "Okay, maybe the adults will discover things we haven't noticed. Shall we leave now?"
Let's go.
The two got up and went out. Shu Yu gave Ruan Dali some instructions and then left the workshop with Qi Lie.
Without delay, they headed straight for the black market after leaving the gate.
Because the black market moved away, the road up the mountain was no longer cleared, and as the weather gradually warmed up, it was covered with tender green grass again.
Shu Yu, Ying Xi, Qi Lie, and two of his men, a group of five, walked along while carefully observing their surroundings.
Once you reach the halfway point up the mountain, the path becomes much narrower.
The road here is a bit different from the original one; it has been redone.
To maintain secrecy, the black market originally had a very complicated and winding road leading up from the mountainside.
However, Meng Yunzheng later used the manor as an academy, and since a smoother road would be more suitable, the road was rebuilt.
However, just as Shu Yu and the others had guessed, although Steward Guo had sold the manor, he still sent people to keep a close watch on it, fearing that Master Miao would sell the manor again.
To avoid arousing suspicion, Master Miao began repairs within a few days, hiring people from the prefectural city.
The road being repaired is the one right in front of us.
As for the manor itself, Meng Yunzheng has his own blueprints and plans, which he certainly won't let others know. Once the roads outside are repaired, he'll find a trustworthy man named Lu Erbai to carry out the renovations.
If any secrets are discovered during the renovation process, they will be known in a timely manner.
The only problem is that the road construction has been taking a long time. Mr. Miao always has various problems and requests to stop the work. The blueprints are revised and then the repairs continue.
The road construction workers were annoyed by his difficult behavior and even caused a scene once, going to work on someone else's house, which caused the road to be shut down for more than half a month.
But that's exactly what Shu Yu and Meng Yunzheng wanted; they were just stalling for time.
Then, when the road was halfway completed, the late emperor passed away.
Master Miao runs a brothel. With the late emperor's passing, his businesses will have to stop for at least several months.
Business here wasn't going well, so Master Miao wanted to do something else and left the city with his money to develop other businesses. As a result, he naturally couldn't take care of the manor here anymore.
To be honest, Shu Yu was quite surprised that Mr. Miao wanted to get involved in other businesses.
Could it really be because of what she said last time about making him do more good deeds? Shu Yu thought it was unlikely; she didn't have that much ability to change Master Miao's deeply ingrained ideas with just a few words.
Regardless of the circumstances, Master Miao's actions provide another excuse to delay the repairs of the black market.
There were no longer any people secretly watching.
Therefore, the manor seemed particularly deserted at this moment.
