Chapter 172 It Wasn't Intentional
Song Jin returned home.
Tell Qin Chi about the old house.
Qin Chi also remained silent. After a long while, he finally managed to utter a word: "Grandma...it wasn't intentional."
"Yes, grandma didn't mean it."
Song Jin followed up with a voice, "Xiu'er's miscarriage was not intentional."
Hearing this, Qin Chi fell silent again! If we were to ask who in the Qin family was most like a jinx, Old Liu would definitely be one of them.
Qin Chi saw that Song Jin was in a bad mood.
Guessing that she was affected by the incident at the old house, Qin Chi took out a secret letter from his sleeve pocket and handed it to Song Jin, "Would you like to read the news from the capital?"
"nonsense."
How can you not watch it?
Song Jin took the secret letter.
After a while, he put the matter of the old house behind his mind and focused all his attention on the secret letter.
The Song family's medicinal materials appeared in the Imperial Hospital. After investigation, it was found that they were prepared by a female doctor named Liu. She was better at preparing and identifying medicinal materials than medical skills, so she was assigned to the Herbal Medicine Storehouse as an ambassador.
The rest have not yet been investigated.
Song Jin looked extremely anxious.
I couldn't wait to go to the capital to ask this person.
However, she knew that this was unrealistic. Not to mention the long distance between Huizhou and the capital, it was impossible for her to go to the capital. Moreover, the Imperial Hospital was located in the palace, and ordinary people could not enter the palace.
"We already have clues. If we keep an eye on her, we will be able to dig out one or two clues. It just takes some time."
Qin Chi's clear and gentle voice seemed to calm people's hearts.
Song Jin's restless heart gradually calmed down, "This female doctor's surname is Liu. I remember that the current director of the Imperial Hospital is also surnamed Liu?"
Qin Chi nodded and said, "Yes, she is the granddaughter of Envoy Liu."
"Could this Envoy Liu be the person behind this?" Song Jin couldn't help but speculate maliciously.
Qin Chi said sternly: "A fifth-rank official has some status in the capital, but not that great. You forgot that the people who hunted down Lao Huo were all very powerful assassins, and the Liu family cannot raise such people with their family background."
It is more credible to say that it is Yang Ge's hometown than Liu Yuanshi's.
"Well, even if he is not the person behind the scenes, he should be involved with the forces behind the scenes."
Song Jin closed the secret letter.
Where did the other party learn to prepare Song's medicinal materials? This matter must be clarified.
Song Jin then said with fear: "We can't investigate openly, and we can't alert anyone. I'm worried that if the person behind the scenes finds out, it will bring danger to the missing family members."
"If we investigate in this way, our hands will inevitably be tied and progress will be slow."
Qin Chi put the secret letter away.
Song Jin just said that he could wait.
Even though this waiting is torture every moment.
At this time, Doctor Jing and the medicine boy also came back.
The medicine boy went to get the medicine and then sent it to the old house.
Bai Cuiwei's miscarriage was a foregone conclusion, but the inside story of how she got pregnant had to be kept secret, otherwise the Qin family would lose all face.
…
Three days later.
Manager Tao took his men to the provincial capital and personally dealt with the account issue.
"Have you healed from your injury? There's no need for you to come with me." Shopkeeper Tao looked at Xing Lun beside him.
Xing Lun smiled politely and said, "I almost died here, so I had to come and take a look. If I don't see him suffer, I'm afraid he will remember it for the rest of his life."
When Shopkeeper Tao heard this, he understood.
Although the two of them are a generation apart in age, they surprisingly get along well.
Xing Lun was injured and was recovering from his injury. When he learned that Shopkeeper Tao was going to deal with the matter of the head shopkeeper, he immediately asked to follow him.
Shopkeeper Tao was dressed very wealthy today, and brought a few thugs with him to support the occasion, as well as his little follower Xing Lun.
They appeared together in the lobby of Cun Yi Money House.
"Manager Tao is here! Please come in, our boss has been waiting for you for a long time." The clerk of the money shop greeted him flatteringly.
Shopkeeper Tao waved his hand and signaled him to lead the way.
After passing through the lobby, we came to an elegantly decorated reception room.
The owner behind Cun Yi Money House is named Zhang.
There are branches of Cun Yi Money House in every provincial capital. The one in charge of Huizhou is the second branch of the Zhang family, known as Master Zhang Er.
Shopkeeper Tao happened to know him, and after receiving Qin Chi's message, he immediately sent someone to deliver the letter to Master Zhang.
Shun'an Commercial Bank was also a major client of Cunyi Money House. Upon hearing that one of his subordinates dared to embezzle the client's money and even hire someone to kill someone, Master Zhang was so shocked that he detained the head manager overnight.
Then they searched his property.
This kind of thing is not investigated.
The indentures of the chief shopkeeper were all in the Zhang family, and the lives of his entire family were in the hands of Master Zhang. After just a few interrogations, the chief shopkeeper confessed to the crime.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
Right now.
The head treasurer of the bank knelt on the ground with a deathly pale face.
Master Zhang greeted Shopkeeper Tao with a smile and said apologetically, "It is our Zhang family's fault for not judging people well. We have specially prepared a gift of apology. Please take a look, Shopkeeper Tao."
Shopkeeper Tao looked at the box on the table.
In addition to making up for the embezzled money, he also had to pay compensation of one thousand taels of gold.
It's all real money.
Xing Lun watched carefully from the side.
He found that Manager Tao was different from his usual easy-going appearance. He had a strong aura and gave people a sense of oppression.
Before he even opened his mouth to speak, the other party showed his apology.
This kind of person is very confident and not easy to mess with.
Only then did Xing Lun realize that Manager Tao had been quite kind to him in the past.
Shopkeeper Tao picked up a gold ingot, glanced at it, and threw it back casually, saying in a cold tone: "Can some lives be bought with money?"
"Of course not! I will deal with this bastard, so you don't have to dirty your hands." Master Zhang kicked the shopkeeper.
Then, Master Zhang gave a look.
Two guards came in and dragged the manager into a room. Some struggling and whimpering were heard. About half a quarter of an hour later, a dead body was brought out.
He was strangled to death.
One of the guards said, "Second Master, the man hanged himself out of fear of punishment."
Master Zhang waved his hand to signal the other party to leave, then smiled and said to Shopkeeper Tao: "This is the sincerity of my Zhang family."
"Well, then, the matter is over."
Shopkeeper Tao started chatting happily with Master Zhang again. They talked about a lot of things, including interesting things from all over the world.
There was not a single mention of the bank corruption scandal.
Finally, Master Zhang Er suddenly asked, "Oh, that traitor of mine thought the account belonged to the former Song family. If he knew it belonged to Shunan, he would definitely not dare to touch a cent of it."
"Being honest is important in life."
Shopkeeper Tao put down the tea bowl and said, "No matter who owns this account, he shouldn't touch it, let alone kill someone to cover it up."
"What Shopkeeper Tao said is absolutely right."
About half an hour.
Only then did Shopkeeper Tao leave with the gold and silver.
Master Zhang personally saw him out the door, still looking like they were very close friends, and said goodbye reluctantly.
Xing Lun watched the whole process.
If I hadn't seen the play with my own eyes, I would have really thought they were such a good couple.
In fact, Shopkeeper Tao had said before he came that he and Master Zhang had only met once.
Today is the second time we meet.
