Chapter 255: Being intercepted
"And the stove was not on today." Lin Zhishen added.
If his sister had been bedridden for years and needed to rely on medicine to survive, it would be impossible for her not to turn on the stove to boil medicine all day.
But how could someone who had been bedridden for years suddenly leave home?
Jiang Yuzhi didn't expect that the two of them had discovered so many clues in just a moment, and he was surprised.
"Let's go back and check."
Lin Zhishen said lightly.
...
After they went back, they started to investigate the matter. It was not difficult to investigate. It only took them an hour to find out the reason.
It turned out that after they left the day before, another person went to find Yu Sheng. That person was none other than Master Yu, who they had met before and had an argument with Jiang Yuzhi.
When they found out this, they simply checked the identity of the man surnamed Yu. They didn't know until they found out that he was the nephew of the deputy general of the Huangsha City garrison army. His family was the only son of the Yu family in Changzhou City, which was not far away. The Yu family was very wealthy, and their industries were distributed in several cities on the border. Because of the relationship with the deputy general, almost no one dared to mess with them.
In this way, Yu Lin was considered to be the hegemon in Huangsha City.
"If that's the case, it's a bit tricky." Lin Baoer put down the letter in her hand, helpless.
She didn't want to expose her identity as a princess, nor did she want to rely on others' power. Moreover, although Yu Qi was a latecomer, they had not told Yu Shengming before that they wanted to ask him to lead the way, so they were not in an advantageous position in terms of emotion and reason.
"But why did he go there right after we went to see Brother Yu?" Jiang Yuzhi was dissatisfied, "He has been in Huangsha City for so long, why didn't I see him go there before?"
Lin Zhishen glanced at the letter paper on the table and said lightly: "Since you can't figure it out, why not ask him."
There must be something fishy about this matter, and Yu Qi obviously didn't intend to cover up these details. Isn't it just waiting for them to come and visit?
The two were surprised, and then they also wanted to understand the twists and turns.
They didn't waste time and almost immediately set off for the South Building.
It is said that Yu Qi often lingers in the South Building and appeared here half an hour ago.
As soon as the three of them arrived at the door, a waiter dressed as a waiter trotted over. He first looked at them, and then asked tentatively, "Are you Miss Lin?"
He was asking about Lin Baoer.
Lin Baoer nodded puzzledly.
Lin Zhishen narrowed his eyes imperceptibly.
The waiter immediately smiled, shook the rag in his hand, and said loudly, "Three of you, please come this way. Master Yu has been waiting for you in the private room on the second floor."
Lin Baoer's expression froze, and her eyes were subtle.
It seems that Yu Qi is really capable, and he guessed that they would come so quickly.
Without thinking, Lin Baoer quickly came to the rather elegant compartment under the guidance of the waiter. There
was someone waiting at the door, and after seeing them, he respectfully made a gesture of invitation.
The door was wide open.
As soon as they entered, the first thing that caught their eyes was the exquisite screen that separated the dining table from another area. Yu Qi was sitting at the first seat, sipping tea nonchalantly.
"You guys are here?" He said indifferently, never looking up at anyone.
Lin Zhishen stepped in front of Lin Baoer, looking down at him, and said straight to the point, "We checked. You came to Huangsha City a month ago. If you want to cross the desert to other countries, there were still many caravans to choose from. But now you are intercepting the people we have chosen. What is your intention?"
His tone was quite unfriendly, and even carried a faint sense of oppression, which Lin Baoer had never seen before.
Lin Zhishen has always been gentle and polite to others. Lin Baoer rarely saw him so impolite, and she couldn't help but be surprised.
Yu Qi didn't say anything, but just sneered, then raised her eyes and glanced at Lin Zhishen, and then her eyes fell on Lin Baoer, "This is our first meeting, Mr. Lin, do you really want to talk about things like this?"
Lin Zhishen's expression did not change, and his face was full of indifference.
Seeing that the three of them seemed to be led by Lin Zhishen, Yu Qi paused, and finally looked at Lin Zhishen straight in the eye, and put down the teacup, "I have also checked you, you came from Weicheng, and caused a big commotion there, and even got the county magistrate out of office. It seems that your identities must be extraordinary."
"Lin... Although there are many people with the surname Lin, there are very few who are capable. As for the most influential people, there is one in Kyoto, I wonder..."
Yu Qi was testing their reactions.
But the only two people who knew the truth did not change their expressions, so he could not guess the truth at all.
Jiang Yuzhi, on the other hand, was very confused, as if she did not understand what he was saying.
She had been trapped in Weicheng since she was a child. Although she studied and practiced martial arts like a man, she knew nothing about the politics and family outside, and the news of Kyoto rarely reached here.
Seeing that the two of them were not unusual, Yu Qi curled his lips nonchalantly, and finally set his eyes on Jiang Yuzhi, "You are the daughter of the Jiang family in Weicheng, right?"
"I heard that your parents are looking for you very anxiously, but they didn't know that their daughter ran to Huangsha City. What do you think, should I help them?" He showed a half-smile.
Jiang Yuzhi frowned, and just as he was about to speak, he was stopped by Lin Baoer without leaving a trace.
Lin Baoer hated this kind of beating around the bush the most. She talked about it impatiently and bluntly, "We are not here to listen to your analysis of our identities. Ah Shen asked you just now, what do you want to do?"
Lin Baoer's words aroused Yu Qi's interest. He stood up and approached the few people, especially Lin Baoer. There was an admiring smile in his eyes. "I didn't want to do anything. I was just bored in Huangsha City and wanted to go somewhere else to play. Don't you know that now all the caravans have left, so I had to find another way and find that little brother Yu."
"You didn't feel bored then, but you feel bored now. And you chose to do it after we met him. Who would believe you!" Jiang Yuzhi was very angry.
After all, she had worked hard for several days to get the news about Yu Sheng, and Yu Sheng didn't like her at first. She had to compromise for a long time before he was willing to meet them.
Who knew that this guy would just cut her off? How could she not be angry?
Being questioned like this, Yu Qi's face flashed with displeasure, but he didn't show it. He turned back to his seat with a calm face, "Then may I ask, did you give Brother Yu a deposit at that time?"
"When I asked him, he never said that he took your job. Does this count as cutting her off?"
Jiang Yuzhi was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say.
They had indeed not mentioned the desert trip to Yusheng at that time, and this was indeed their fault.
Seeing their expressions, Yuqi understood and laughed, "If that's the case, how can you blame me for intercepting?"
"I didn't steal or rob, it was something that both parties were willing to do, but you blame me, what's the logic?"
