Chapter 698 Tong Yan brings news
Jia Yanbing hurriedly left with Fubao and Wan Laoer and went to the shop.
At this time, the city gates were closed, so even if they wanted to go out, they had to wait until dawn.
The two young men from the county town stayed overnight in the backyard of the shop.
Liu hadn't seen Old Lady Wan for half a year, and went with her to Fubao's new house.
Now there are only six people in the shop, including Wan Lao Si, Wan Lao Er, Jia Yanbing, Fu Bao, Banxia and Baizhi.
"Mr. Jia, what should we do now? Are we just going to wait?" Wan Laoer was a little anxious.
If the potato flour shop cannot continue to operate, they will have no place to sell the potato flour made from the potatoes they purchased last year, and in the end, they may lose all their money.
The most important thing is that three counties are already planting potatoes this year, and their family's autumn harvest is the hope of these people. Of course, they can choose not to harvest, after all, no one forces them. But the county magistrates of these two counties have a good relationship with him and have helped him. When the time comes, he will find a way out for both emotional and practical reasons. As for the Wan family's business, he does not want it to go bankrupt.
The pressure instantly made Wan Laoer anxious.
Jia Yanbing patted Wan Laoer on the shoulder.
"Brother Wan, don't worry. I have a rough idea in mind, but we still have to wait."
Wan Lao Er and Wan Lao Si were both stunned for a moment, and they both looked at Jia Yanbing at the same time.
Wan Laoer felt that the situation was urgent, so what was there to wait for?
"Mr. Jia, what are you waiting for?"
"Of course I'm waiting for Fubao's mother."
Jia Yanbing sat back and took a sip of warm water. The day was getting hotter and hotter.
"Ah? You mean Miss Tong? Mr. Jia, you don't really think Miss Tong can help us, do you? Even if the Tong family is well-connected, that's in Yue State. Our Great Qi..."
Wan Laoer didn't believe in his heart that Tong Yan could find out any information.
"Brother Wan, you may have underestimated the Tong family. There is nothing to do right now, why don't you go and have a rest first?
Things have already happened. There is no point in being anxious. The more anxious you are, the more mistakes you will make. Now the other party is in the dark and we are in the light, so we have to be on guard. They may be waiting for us to make a mistake. So at this time, it is better for us to wait and see. Just do what you should do and leave the rest to me.
Fourth Brother Wan, you are the boss in name only, but I heard that this shop is under the name of Second Brother Wan. Starting tomorrow, you will be just like usual. Second Brother Wan and I will go downstairs. It would be best if the shop is closed for a month under the pretext of expansion and renovation. "
Jia Yanbing briefly explained the situation to the two brothers.
Wan Laosi felt that there seemed to be no better way at this time. If something happened to these shops in the city again, then everything would be over.
"Mr. Jia, should we close the shops in other places as well?"
"No, it's too late."
"Too late? Could it be..."
Wan Laosi was so frightened that he almost fainted.
Jia Yanbing nodded affirmatively.
"The other party has made all the necessary preparations. Once the plan begins, they will not stop and will definitely drag you into an irretrievable situation."
The room fell silent for a moment.
"Dad, Fourth Uncle, everything will be fine. You don't have to worry. We will know tomorrow when we go to the nearest county town to check the body. Fubao will definitely find it out." Fubao sat on Wan Laoer's lap, put his arms around Wan Laoer's neck, and comforted him softly.
Wan Laoer felt much more at ease when he held his daughter in his arms.
It was not until the middle of the night, when several people were so sleepy that they dozed off in their chairs, that there was a knock on the door.
Wan Laosi was startled and fell off his chair.
"who?"
"It's me."
When Wan Laosi heard Tong Yan's voice, he quickly got up from the ground and ran to open the door.
At this time, Wan Laoer and Jia Yanbing also opened their eyes. Wan Laoer was holding Fubao and couldn't stand up.
"Miss Tong, you are back. Do you have any news?"
Wan Laosi asked impatiently.
Tong Yan nodded.
"Let's go inside and talk."
Wan Laosi was a little surprised. Could it be that what Mr. Jia said was right?
Jia Yanbing also stood up at this time.
"Mr. Jia, I just went to inquire about it. It seems that the Wan family has offended a man named Zhou. He set up a trap. He bribed a few beggars and gave them generous rewards. He originally thought that they were just causing trouble, but he didn't expect that the businessman named Zhou to be so cruel and poisoned people to death. The Wan family is lucky because Zhou was afraid that the matter would be exposed, so the beggars he bribed happened to be from the capital. My family happened to have a relationship with these beggars."
Wan Lao Si was stunned. How could such a big businessman have a relationship with a beggar? What a joke!
But Jia Yanbing knew that this so-called friendship should be the network of relationships within the same family. He did not expose it. The most urgent task was to find witnesses, produce evidence, and expose Zhou in public.
"Miss Tong, I would like to ask Miss Tong for another small favor."
"Mr. Jia, please speak."
"Could you please check the background of this Zhou? The more detailed the better."
Only by knowing both yourself and your enemy can you turn defeat into victory.
Tong Yan smiled and said, "Mr. Jia, I have asked them to start investigating, but it will take time. I am afraid you will be anxious, so I am coming back first."
"Thank you for your consideration, Miss Tong."
Tong Yan bowed slightly, then looked at Fubao, and saw that Fubao was sleeping very uncomfortably in Wan Laoer's arms.
"Brother Wan, can you hand Fubao over to me? There are still a few hours before the city gate opens. I will take Fubao back to rest first, and I will bring her here tomorrow morning."
Wan Laoer knew that it would be difficult to leave the city today, so he handed Fubao to Tong Yan, and Tong Yan took Fubao back to the house.
Early the next morning, as soon as the city gate opened, Jia Yanbing took Wan Laoer, Fubao, Banxia and Baizhi out of the city.
Everyone in the group rode horses. The weather in May was breezy and not dry, so riding was very comfortable.
Fubao's little white horse has grown a lot. Under the instruction of Pinellia and Angelica dahurica, Fubao's horsemanship has become more and more sophisticated.
They only rested for half an hour and then continued on their journey. They did not arrive at the gate of Qinping County until the sky was filled with red clouds.
"We are finally here. If we were any later, the city gates would have been closed."
Wan Laoer looked at the familiar city gate and felt a lot of emotion for a moment, but before he could express his feelings, he saw Jia Yanbing and others riding their horses into the city.
Several people went directly to the county government office.
The clerk said that the owner had been taken away and the shop had been sealed off, so it would be useless even if they went to the shop.
When he arrived at the county government office, Wan Laoer paid some money and soon met the county magistrate.
The county magistrate of Qinping County was Zheng Wenru, who had previously saved Wan Laoer.
Last year, when Wan Laoer came to Qinping County and built a workshop with Hu Zhengyang, he was hunted down by the Yue State Master. It was the Qinping County Magistrate and Inspector Hao Yong who shot and wounded the Yue State Master, which saved Wan Laoer's life.
