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 about 70% full. She listened to the maids' heated debate and said, "You've already deviated from the point of view by focusing on Zhang's death."
With these words, Hongli and the others showed thoughtful expressions again.
It was Ningxiang who reacted first 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 one among the siblings.
Jiang Yuzhu smiled faintly 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 has been with Old Man Ma for some time, and the novelty has 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, without any data support, is not accurate enough.
So she didn't bring it up.
"The news of Zhang's death came out suddenly today. It's probably because someone wanted to silence her."
Jiang Yuzhu has been reading a lot of the stories written by Xie Zhao recently, and her intuition has become sharper.
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 is no problem. 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 someone for help, will that person watch Zhang die?"
The Ma family is in deep trouble, and problems are gradually being exposed.
Hongli agreed with that and exclaimed, covering her mouth, "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, Jiang Yuzhu leaned back on the couch and saw several maids looking at her at the same time. She said nonchalantly, "That's the government's job."
A murderer must pay with his life. Sooner or later, the murderer will be exposed.
Judging from the way the Ma family members are on guard against 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 doorstep.
The next morning, Yan Lin came to deliver the news and said proudly, "Madam Xie, yesterday the herbal medicine merchant was making excuses and came to the inn to discuss with Xiaowu before daybreak. His attitude changed so quickly!"
“So, power is a good thing.”
Jiang Yuzhu was not surprised. After the medicinal materials dealer knew her identity, he would definitely come to her and make peace.
Yan Lin also agreed, and took out a list and said, "Look, he only charges 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 even if I had a hundred guts!"
Although medicinal herb merchants are businessmen, they have caravans at home and travel far and wide to stay well-informed.
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 backer. What if she offends them and is held accountable later?
If you offend Jishidiang, you can still have a way to survive. But if you offend government officials and cause trouble for them, it is hard to say whether you can still make a living in the future.
Jiang Yuzhu glanced at the herbal medicine merchant, and saw that he was tactful, so she said calmly, "I won't take advantage of you in terms of price, but the quality of the herbs must be well controlled."
After all, it was something sent to the Xie family, and for the sake of my mother-in-law Shen's face, it would be a bad idea to go back on my word.
"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 said in surprise, "Madam, it's Boss Ma!"
Could it be that Boss Ma wanted to bribe the clerk at the money house to check Old Man Ma’s deposits?
After thinking about it, Hongli understood: "If we can't withdraw the money from Old Man Ma, won't it become a bad debt?"
Before the group reached the opposite street, Boss Ma had already walked out of the bank, bent down and got 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 couples 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 flirted with the widow in the village. Who knew that the widow had the support of her family and beat Ma Lao Er up."
The herbal medicine merchant kept talking, and Hongli was very interested and asked, "What about Boss Ma?"
"Mr. Ma is pretty good, hardworking and down-to-earth. But I heard that Mrs. Ma gave birth prematurely, so Mr. Ma has always suspected that Mr. Ma is not his biological son. He doesn't like Mr. Ma and either beats or scolds him."
As a result, he would rather use the money left to support his mistress than give it to Boss Ma.
"Old Ma just couldn't get over it. He passed away and didn't spend the money. Isn't the money still his son's?"
In order to please Jiang Yuzhu, the medicinal materials merchant told her all the information he had obtained.
When they entered the money shop, Ma Xiaoqin was arguing with the waiter.
Seeing Yan Lin coming in, Ma Xiaoqin's eyes had a meaningful look.
Before leaving, Ma Xiaoqin said to Yan Lin, "Doctor Yan, don't you see the strangeness of my father and Zhang's death?"
"That's your Ma family's business."
Yan Lin hated Ma Xiaoqin's calculations. His brows were furrowed, and a hint of disgust appeared in his eyes.
Ma Xiaoqin didn't care, but chuckled a few times, looked Yan Lin up and down and said, "Then don't you want to know why the Ma family went to the medicine shop to cause trouble?"
When it comes to the finished medicine shop, Yan Lin straightened his face and asked, "Why?"
"Give me ten taels of silver, and I'll tell you the whole story."
Ma Xiaoqin looked at Yan Lin like a fat sheep.
Yan Lin suddenly showed anger on his face and said, "You are a troublemaker, and you want to blackmail me for money? You are dreaming!"
As for the reason, Ma Xiaoqin is willing to say it or not!
Yan Lin shook his sleeves and turned around. Ma Xiaoqin panicked and quickly grabbed Yan Lin's collar and said, "Wait a minute, I'll tell you, if I die too, you can be an insider and help me get justice..."
