Chapter 323: as a matter of course
Chapter 323 As it should be
Qi Wu accompanied Wen Yu to the small courtyard belonging to Shuntian Mansion in the south of the city.
Mrs. Li is waiting.
Seeing them coming, he stood up and walked back with Wen Yu: "Things went quite smoothly. Thanks to the manpower you gave me, it wouldn't have been possible without them!"
“I’m very happy to be able to help you. In the end, how was it solved...”
Mrs. Li simply explained the matter. Wen Yu felt a little strange: "You just let someone like Yang Xiangdong go like this? And you also let him stay with your sister. Isn't it dangerous?"
“I have something to hold on to him. Besides, he is a smart man, and when he saw the matter was exposed, he did not shirk or quibble. He chose to do it simply and did not show any hatred. He behaved like a man.
I know this is not appropriate...it's just that my little sister is not like me...she shouldn't have to go through this. Furthermore, the children are too young and suffering such a big change will have a great impact on their future. Just like me, actually, I don’t like myself now either…”
The choices people make must have their own reasons, and Wen Yu has no right to interfere: "Wei Xiangyu can't find a more suitable person than him. As for Yang Xiangdong, greed, anger, and ignorance mislead others, and he doesn't know what he can get. ”
When we arrived at the house at the back, the doors and windows were open, and several corpses were placed on a long board, covered with mats.
“Ayu, are you afraid?” Qi Wu asked Wen Yu.
Wen Yu pulled him, "It's okay, let's take a look!"
Someone opened the mat. Wen Yu saw Wei Xiangyu and could only see her appearance slightly. "Are these servants of the Yang family?"
“One of them should be, and the other three, I don’t know where they came from.”
After reading it, several people left the house.
Wen Yu asked: "Have you asked Yang Xiangdong what else he has planned?"
“I deceived him, but he strongly denied it. Do you have any other news?” Mrs. Li asked.
Wen Yu said: "The Song family has a rich fortune, and they even donated it to Uncle Zhongqin. Previously, we got some news that Yang Xiangdong and Wei Shi were planning to seize the Song family's property."
Mrs. Li smiled, "I'm also saying, Yang Xiangdong married Wei Xiangyu, how will he support her? In the past, Wei's clothes were all dressed up, and the Yang family couldn't buy all the property. In recent years, even if his situation is better... But don't If you talk about him, what about the Li family?
The entire imperial court, except for the families who had made outstanding achievements during the founding of the country, took the opportunity to rob many properties. Just like the shop in your hand..."
Mrs. Li looked at Wen Yu funny.
The gentle words also bring a smile.
"Other civil servants have extremely limited income. It is not easy to support a family just by salary. Even if there is a chance to be greedy, you have to be careful if you dare to reach out. I made fun of him yesterday, but I didn't think about it. If you really have courage, you need both people and money!”
Wen Yu said seriously: "Actually, he couldn't do it on his own. So, he found the right person somewhere, and the person behind that person was very capable. It is said that measures have been taken against the Song family. But after further investigation, nothing was found.”
"I actually thought about it, so I gave him a nod, but he strongly denied it. If you say so, it is really possible. But, this idiot, seeking skin from a tiger, really made me fall in love with him in vain! I don't even think about it, without Li He’s a fool!? It’s really what he wanted. In the end, he was the one who got the blame, and he suffered in vain!”
“Are you not going to ask him again?”
"I won't believe him. But there are some words that I really can't keep if I understand them clearly."
“Your sister is also quite scared, right?”
"That fool... still cried over the death of Xiong Qian and his wife! Arrangements for family affairs... ugh!" Mrs. Li looked at Wen Yu: "Wen Yu, thank you very much! Without your help... I wouldn't have known what I wanted. What we have gone through is also a warning to us. We have been going so smoothly these years, and sometimes we feel like we are drifting off."
"You don't have to think this way. Mr. Ge has heard about his actions and is very prudent."
"Wen Yu, although I will send people to keep an eye on this matter, I still want to ask you to share some information with me when you are looking for the person behind it."
"no problem."
“For a young girl like you, you are very stable and very good at what you do. If you need anything done in the future, you can come to me.”
"I know."
The two of them laughed.
…
Wen Yu returned to the inn and first went to the inn to find Song Shang. He already knew the news.
"There is no news from Mrs. Li. Yang Xiangdong does not admit that he is targeting the Li family."
Song Shang nodded: "It makes sense. I will leave one person to follow Yang Xiangdong to find out the middleman and the person behind it."
“Where are Song Tao and Xu Er?”
"Song Tao has been very down-to-earth recently and has not had contact with outsiders. Now, he is busy with my marriage all day long. He has not mentioned when he will leave. It seems that he wants to celebrate the New Year in the capital. Xu Er is... learning bad things. Song Tao knows, But it doesn’t matter.”
Wen Yu analyzed: "Perhaps he wanted to force Xu Erlang to take risks when he had no choice but to take risks."
“Yes, if he can’t do it, he will go to his mother and elder brother!”
“Then his mother and eldest brother, are they trustworthy?”
"They have found me and told me that they feel that the relationship between Erlang and Song Tao is not normal, but they don't understand what is going on. They asked me to pay more attention." "They are actually smart."
"I understand. If you know that you are a small person, you can't mess around in the game of power. In the end, you will be trapped!"
Wen Yu sneered: "But Yang Xiangdong and Song Tao, they don't think they are small people... they feel like they are great people!"
…
“The great big shot” Yang Xiangdong returned home and stayed in the front yard for a few days.
After calming down for a while, he even personally burned incense money for Wei Xiangyu.
He also sent someone to write to the Wei family with news about Wei's family. As for the reaction of the Wei family, let’s take it one step at a time!
Life is back to where it was before…
He thought about it carefully and finally gave up and contacted the middleman. He said that he didn't want to continue what he had done before, and the money he had delivered and the information he had provided were considered settled. He wouldn't tell anyone, but he didn't offer any more.
Last time he did bring back some news, but because he was busy killing his wife, he didn't have time to give it.
Li Qun was a little dissatisfied when he received the news. Originally, he wanted to dump Yang Xiangdong because he liked the Song family! But later, when Yang Xiangdong wanted to touch the Li family, he was a little tempted.
While cleaning up the Song family, dragging the Li family into trouble was also something the King of Wu liked to see.
But now Yang Xiangdong wants to run away and wants to pick it all off, how can it be that easy? What's more, if he wants to show his kindness to the Li family and tell the truth...
It would be boring for the Li family to follow the clues and find themselves here.
…
In the morning, Mr. Tan drank tea, basked in the sun, and thought about his thoughts. During these days, she no longer had the mood to show kindness, nor the interest in making trouble.
In the end, Mr. Hou didn’t tell himself about Yue’er. What did he think?
A woman came back and said: "Old lady, there is a girl from the courtyard who married outside a long time ago. She says she is from Zhang Wang's family. She is at the second gate. She wants to come in and say hello to you."
How can Ms. Tan have time to see her? But I have always been a philanthropic person, so I have to act no matter what, which is really tiring. "Tell her that she understands. I'm fine. If I have something to do now, I'll ask her to come in and talk later."
After a while, the woman expected Ai Ai to come back again: "Madam, she said she has something to do about the back streets. I don't know if it will be useful. I want to come back with you."
Mrs. Tan thought for a moment: "Idle time is idle, let her come in!"
After a while, an old woman with gray hair walked in and kowtowed to Mrs. Tan.
“I’ve met the old lady!”
"Sorry for my poor eyesight, I can't recognize it! Stop being so polite and get up!"
The old woman got up, feeling very embarrassed and said, "Madam, you have been getting to know some noble ladies all day long. The old woman was born as a slave, so it's normal that she doesn't recognize her."
Mrs. Tan smiled, and seeing that there was only one girl beside her, she asked, "You just said, do you want to tell me something about the backstreets?"
"Madam, it's like this. The old woman got married and lived in the countryside on weekdays, making a living on three acres of thin farmland. My son found a job in the government's property, so he lived in the back street. I The daughter-in-law has been helping people sew clothes in her spare time. This time the old woman went to the city to live for a few days. I heard from the daughter-in-law that someone was in the back street asking about your aunt!"
Tan's expression remained unchanged, but her heart was beating wildly.
“Oh? Do you know who it is?”
“I don’t know! It’s very generous to say that I took action. If someone remembers something, tell him and get the reward.”
"It's been such a long time. Could it be that my old friend is here to look for..." Mrs. Tan pretended to think.
"Perhaps so! If not, who would ask about this?" said the woman.
“Yeah, you’re talking about it without leaving any name? I’ll ask someone to find it and ask?”
“No, no. Besides, I didn’t ask anything about it.”
Tan's inner thoughts: Of course there's nothing to be gained by asking. How can I keep this as a clue when I do something? However, this is troublesome, because it means that she doubts my identity.
I don’t know why, but this “she” should be referring to Wen Yu.
I was shocked when I thought about it: Could it be that the master had confided something? It shouldn't be...
"That's it, then tell your daughter-in-law to keep an eye on her. If anyone asks again, write it down and report it to Mrs. Zhou of the Second Gate. Let's take a look. If an old relative needs help, I can help now. ”
“Old madam, you are kind. The old lady will go back and explain to her daughter-in-law.”
“Xing’er, reward!”
The woman left with a lot of gratitude.
