Chapter 33 Encounter
Through these few sentences of conversation, Zeng Anmin had a basic understanding of the young man in front of him named Shen Jun.
According to normal people's logical thinking.
His deceased uncle Shen Liu had no children.
That means Mr. Shen is the only legal heir to the ship merchant Shen family.
He doesn't have to do anything, just follow the steps and he can take over Jin Taiping and become the richest man in Liangjiang County.
It was neither moral nor logical for him to do such a thing as killing his aunt in front of the mourning hall.
After being seduced by his aunt...he went to the Jiaofangsi.
This is a young man full of vigor and vitality.
Moreover, when talking to him, this person spoke clearly and fluently.
If he hadn't carefully planned it in his mind, it would prove that he wasn't lying.
If it's carefully planned...
How could someone with such intelligence go to the Jiaofangsi after killing someone?
If he had such intelligence, he would never kill anyone.
All we have to do is to settle everything after successfully taking over the Jin Taiping fleet.
So now there are two possibilities.
First, someone in the Shen family didn't want him to take over the fleet, so they deliberately planned this case. After he left the mourning hall, they sent someone to report the case directly.
Second, the murderer is indeed Shen Jun. He is a big fool and does not act according to common sense...
Of these two possibilities, Zeng Anmin feels that the former is more logical.
After all, in a merchant house like this, it is easy for such despicable intrigues to occur.
What Zeng Anmin has to do now is to go to the Jiaofangsi to ask the courtesan An Shiyi.
Let’s see if this guy named Shen Jun is a big fool.
Ninety percent of all the people involved in this case are from the Shen family.
But now, in Zeng Anmin's mind, the people of the Shen family are also suspected criminals, and he does not trust them.
…
Jiaofangsi.
It is a government-run brothel.
In all dynasties, only high-ranking officials and nobles could enjoy the Jiaofangsi.
Because here, just one tea party costs thirty taels of silver!
Even this may not necessarily lead to prostitution, it depends on whether the girl is willing or not.
In order to handle the case smoothly, Zeng Anmin directly brought out two teams of red-clothed men from Xuan Jingsi.
"The Xuan Jing Division is investigating the case, everyone else should stay away!!"
As the sound of horse hooves rang out, the voice of the man in red clothes running in the front was rough and intimidating.
As soon as these words were spoken, all the people turned into birds and beasts and scattered.
In an instant, the Jiaofangsi was deserted.
Zeng Anmin slowly dismounted, and Dachun followed him very respectfully.
Looking at the fear in the eyes of the young ladies at the door and the servants of the old man.
Zeng Anmin had no expression on his face.
"Master, our Jiaofangsi is engaged in legal business... Master Zeng?!"
The madam came forward in a hurry, and when she looked up and saw Zeng Anmin, her face was filled with astonishment.
The moment he saw the madam, Zeng Anmin was stunned for a moment.
The best slightly plump!
The charm remains!
After taking a look, Zeng Anmin came back to his senses.
TV dramas are really all lies!!
This enchanting and charming madam was portrayed like that in the TV series...
Memories came.
It seems that the previous incarnation had some conflicts with this brothel owner named Yunniang.
"Old rules... eh."
Zeng Anmin quickly stopped talking, his face serious:
"Yunniang, I'm here today to investigate a case. Please call the courtesan Shiyi over immediately. I have a few questions for her."
As he spoke, Zeng Anmin led Dachun towards the door.
Yunniang followed behind, with a look of embarrassment on her still charming face:
"Miss Shiyi is feeling unwell today...it's not convenient for her."
No matter how many girls are around.
Zeng Anmin still looked straight ahead.
Hearing Yunniang's words, his brows furrowed slightly.
He found a chair and sat down, then said calmly:
"I said I'm here to investigate a case today. Asking a few questions won't be a problem."
"this……"
Yunniang's face showed even more embarrassment, and she looked around.
She bit her lip lightly, then slowly walked in front of Zeng Anmin and lay down slowly.
I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, but I accidentally rubbed his head.
hiss~
What a brainwave...
Zeng Anmin felt emotional, are butchers so sensible nowadays?
After all, this body belongs to a sixteen-year-old boy full of vigor and vitality.
Fortunately, he still remembers his identity.
Just as I suppressed the restlessness in my heart, I heard Yunniang's fragrant breath:
"Master Zeng, to be honest, we have a distinguished guest at Shi Yi's place... It's not very convenient right now."
Oh~
Zeng Anmin raised his eyebrows slightly and immediately understood what Yunniang meant.
However, today is his first day in office and he doesn't intend to give face to anyone.
"Distinguished guest? How distinguished a guest?"
No matter how expensive the entire Liangjiang County is, can it be as expensive as my father?
Besides, I’m here to investigate a case!
Zeng Anmin sneered and said:
"This young master will give you one last chance. If you know what's best for you, let her come to me. If you don't, I will go find her!"
"Master, can't you be flexible today?"
Yunniang was almost crying. She blinked her eyes with grievance and said, "Next time the young master comes, I will definitely serve him well..."
She looks so pitiful.
But Zeng Anmin was determined to solve the case today, and his expression suddenly turned cold.
“Bang!!”
He suddenly reached out and slammed the table next to him.
Seeing his action, two rows of red-clothed men drew their swords from their waists in an instant.
"Damn!" The sound of swords being drawn in unison was extremely shocking.
Yunniang and everyone around her from the Jiaofangsi all looked pale.
"Since you are so ignorant, don't blame me for being rude."
Zeng Anmin stood up with an expressionless face, walked forward and shouted:
"Dachun!"
"exist!"
"Go upstairs!"
“Alright!!”
"Da da da."
The two of them walked very fast and no one dared to stop them for a while.
He walked all the way to the second floor and ran through a courtyard.
Looking at the plaque "Hua Zhongxie" in front of you.
Zeng Anmin looked down at Yunniang, who was sweating profusely from anxiety, and said:
"I promise, I'll just ask a few questions and then leave."
After saying that, he no longer hesitated and pushed the wooden door in front of him hard.
"Crack~"
When the wooden door opens, an extremely rich floral scent wafts in, making people feel refreshed.
"An Shiyi, the most popular courtesan in the Imperial Music Bureau, loves to grow flowers. The fragrance of flowers in her waterside pavilion is so refreshing and relaxing. It seems the rumors are true."
Zeng Anmin looked deeper into the room.
What caught my eye was a graceful... eh?!
Zeng Anmin's eyes widened instantly, and his expression became extremely excited.
The air was silent.
After a long time.
Zeng Anmin struggled to squeeze out a word:
"father?"
In the room, Zeng Shilin stood as straight as a bamboo pole. His face was as gloomy as water and he said nothing.
Those majestic eyes were intimidating without even being angry.
"Didn't you go for an outing?"
Zeng Anmin thought about what his father said before he left that morning, and still remembered the serious tone in his voice.
So it's Taqing!
The old man looked at Zeng Anmin in a deep voice and asked, "What are you doing here?!"
