Chapter 296 Power is a good thing



"If Boss Ma knew that Old Man Ma had a mistress, wouldn't he have used this to his advantage?"

In short, once Old Man Ma dies, the property will definitely fall into the hands of the three siblings.

Boss Ma is the eldest son in the family, so he has to get the biggest share.

Several maids joined in, and the clues became numerous and complicated.

Jiang Yuzhu ate until she was only about 70% full. As she listened to the maids' heated debate, she pointed out, "You're focusing on Zhang's death, which is a deviation from the main point."

With these words, Hongli and the others showed a thoughtful expression again.

Ningxiang was the first to react and said, "Madam, are you saying that all this is related to Boss Ma?"

A person who looks honest may not be really honest.

Boss Ma is a low-key person, but he is the most scheming among the siblings.

Jiang Yuzhu smiled faintly upon hearing this and said, "No, the key point is the first one to die, Old Man Ma."

When old man Ma died suddenly, everyone thought it was just because he was a playboy, but they missed the point.

"Old Man Ma is an old hand at playing with women. Would he not know that an overdose of aphrodisiacs can be fatal?"

Besides, Zhang had been with Old Man Ma for some time, and the novelty had long worn off.

Old man Ma took an overdose of drugs, which must have been caused by Zhang.

Jiang Yuzhu had made this guess after Old Man Ma died.

However, to verify whether it is an overdose, autopsy and modern instruments are required.

Jiang Yuzhu's judgment alone is not accurate enough without data support.

So she didn't bring it up.

"The sudden news of Zhang's death today is likely due to someone trying to silence her."

Jiang Yuzhu has been reading a lot of the storybooks written by Xie Zhao recently, and her intuition has become more acute.

But the murderer was very cunning. Everyone in the Ma family witnessed Zhang's hanging, and even the government office could not find any fault.

"The biggest problem is that there are no problems. There are always some things that don't make sense."

After Zhang was separated like a radish, her walking posture became very strange and she had to recuperate for two days.

Where did Zhang get the strength to dig such a deep pit to bury the charcoal?

"If Zhang asks for help, will that person watch her die?"

The Ma family is in deep trouble, and problems are gradually being exposed.

Hongli agreed, covering her mouth and exclaiming, "Then the real murderer is at large?"

Old Man Ma and Mrs. Zhang may not be considered good people, but their crimes do not deserve the death penalty.

Compared with these two people, the murderer behind them is even more brutal.

After eating and drinking her fill, Jiang Yuzhu leaned back on the couch. Seeing several maids looking at her at the same time, she said nonchalantly, "That's the government's job."

Killing someone means killing someone. The murderer will be exposed sooner or later.

Judging from the Ma family members' vigilance towards each other, it seems that they are not completely ignorant.

Jiang Yuzhu was not worried at all about this. She was determined not to meddle in other people's business, but who knew that other people's business would come to her door.

The next morning, Yan Lin arrived with the news, proudly saying, "Madam Xie, yesterday the herbal medicine merchant was making excuses and delays. Before daybreak, he came to the inn to discuss things with Xiaowu. His attitude changed so quickly!"

“So, power is a good thing.”

Jiang Yuzhu was not surprised. After the medicinal herb merchant knew her identity, he would definitely come to her door and seek peace.

Yan Lin also agreed and took out a list and said, "Look, he will only take 80% of the original price. Just consider it a good relationship."

After all, Jishidiang is a local tyrant, but small merchants cannot afford to offend the power behind Jiang Yuzhu.

"Then arrange the transaction for today."

Jiang Yuzhu meant that she and the herbal medicine merchant would go to the money shop and deposit the silver directly into the merchant's name, which would be more convenient than withdrawing silver and silver bills.

After receiving the news, the herbal medicine merchant came quickly, bowed and said politely: "Thank you, Madam. It's all my fault for not recognizing you. If I knew you needed herbs, I wouldn't dare to refuse you even if I had a hundred guts!"

Although the medicinal herb merchants are businessmen, they have their own caravans at home and are well-informed as they travel around the country.

I heard that the capital is about to change again. After a brief period of bloodshed, the emperor will still rule the country.

Xie Zhao has made great contributions in saving the emperor, and his future is limitless.

Jiang Yuzhu has the Jiang family as her backing. What if she offends them and is held accountable later?

If you offend Jishidiang, you can still survive. But if you offend the government and cause trouble for them, it is hard to say whether you can still make a living in this field in the future.

Jiang Yuzhu glanced at the herbal medicine merchant, seeing his tactfulness, and said calmly, "I won't take advantage of you on the price, but I must control the quality of the herbs."

After all, it was something sent to the Xie family, and for the sake of my mother-in-law Shen's reputation, it would be difficult to renege on it.

"That's natural, don't worry about that!"

The herbal medicine merchant promised and followed Jiang Yuzhu carefully.

There was a sneaky figure at the entrance of Wantong Bank. Hongli recognized him at a glance and exclaimed, "Madam, it's Boss Ma!"

Could it be that Boss Ma wanted to bribe the clerk at the money shop to check Old Man Ma’s deposits?

Hongli thought about it and understood: "If we can't withdraw Old Man Ma's money, won't it become a bad debt?"

Before the group reached the opposite street, Boss Ma had already walked out of the bank and bent down to get on the carriage.

In the alley nearby, Ma Xiaoqin and her man were hiding.

When the two men saw the carriage leave, they slipped out of the alley and quickly went into the money shop.

The herbal medicine merchant pointed at the couple's backs and said to Yan Lin, "Doctor Yan, I heard that the Ma family went to the medicine shop to cause trouble?"

Seeing that Yan Lin had no intention of talking, the herbal medicine merchant was not embarrassed and continued, "Neither of these two people is a good person. They are addicted to gambling and go back to their parents' home to beg for money when they have no money."

"Ma Lao Er was the same. He often teased the widow in the village. Who knew that the widow had the support of her family and beat Ma Lao Er black and blue."
