Chapter 1048: suspicious person
Chapter 1048 Suspicious Person
Not long after Jiang Liu returned to Houya, Qin Qing inquired about the tall and thin young man, "In the courtyard opposite the second master of the Wang family is a businessman from Izhou, a group of 33 people, who arrived in Suzhou on the 18th of the twelfth lunar month. The leader of the team was Mu Ren, and the person the girl saw was Mu Chongyuan, the young owner of the Mu family business. Xu Zhaotou said that the Mu family business is one of the best in the northwest and Mobei, and there are several in each state and county here. They have their shops."
To be able to do business in a world where various ethnic groups are intertwined and wars are constantly raging, the Mu family's methods must be extraordinary, no wonder that Mu Chongyuan looks like he is not afraid of the sky.
Ouch!
Jiang Liu clenched her fist. This was the second time she had such a strong thought of hitting someone after she went out to Beijing to teach Zuo Xiaowei's Qi Shaokang a lesson.
Seeing that the girl was unhappy, Nanny Zhao immediately rolled up her sleeves, "Second maid, please send someone to teach that stinky boy a lesson, and vent your anger on the girl!"
Qianglong didn't press the ground and the snake, Daddy sent someone to beat Mu Chongyuan to let himself out, which will definitely cause a series of troubles. Jiang Liu shook his head, "It's not worth worrying about Daddy for such an irrelevant person. Qin Qing, what is the origin of Mu Ren, the leader of the Mu Family Caravan?"
If the Mu family can trust them, Jiang Liu can entrust them to deliver the goods.
Qinqing replied, "Mu Ren is the steward of the Mu family, and he often leads the caravan around."
"Just a steward?" Jiang Liu raised his eyebrows. Mu Chongyuan, who has earned 258,000 to 80,000 yuan, is actually an idler? It was really... beyond her expectations.
Nanny Zhao understood the girl's thoughts at a glance, and smiled, "It's not like everyone is as capable as a girl, so you can be alone at twelve or three. The young master looks only fifteen or sixteen years old, so he should have just started contact. The family's business is not enough to be the leader of the caravan."
This makes sense, Jiang Liu said happily, "Nanny, I want to eat pork stew with mushrooms tonight."
"The three girls have given away a lot of mountain treasures, so the servant will find hazel mushrooms to soak in." Nanny Zhao, who wanted to feed the girl fat, ran to prepare dinner immediately.
In Kang'an, the end of the twelfth year is the busiest time for the various prefectures to send to us. Jiang Liu spent this year in Suzhou this year, but he was unusually leisurely.
Because, a group of corrupt officials in Suzhou were killed by Jiang Erye, and a group of them did not know when their heads fell. Their family members dared not approach Jiang Liu, for fear of angering Jiang Liu, Jiang Erye would immediately He raised the Qingxiao sword and chopped off her man's head.
The female relatives of a few innocent officials' families, for fear of being caught and dragging their men down the quagmire, did not dare to go to Jiang Liu's side. And the officials who followed Jiang Erye to Suzhou, such as Xie Lao, Zeng Xianzhi, Zhou Qiwu and Qu Lunxue, as well as the officials who went to Suzhou to fill vacant positions, did not bring any female dependents, so Jiang Liu was able to relax with peace of mind. Come on, get ready for the New Year.
On the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month, there was a fierce conflict between the tribes of the Huihe in Yongchang. The king of Changhe was killed, and Teng Li took over his father's seat and sat on the throne of the Khan. The Huihe became a mess.
Jiang Erye reported the good news to Emperor Jinghe happily, and then he was free the next day, and took his daughter to the most prosperous area in Suzhou to buy New Year's goods.
There was grain in the warehouse, and after the snow fell again, the people of Suzhou felt more at ease, and the city regained its vitality. Everyone is meticulously preparing for the New Year to celebrate the rest of their lives, and they must seek good omen for the coming year.
Jiang Er Ye didn't want to disturb everyone's interest, so today he only brought more than 30 elites out, and took his daughter to check around in Fang City.
Seeing the two benefactors from Suzhou come, the grateful people can't wait to put all the New Year's goods prepared in their hands to express their gratitude; the shopkeepers of the shops on both sides and the stall owners of the stalls are all grabbing the best things from the stalls. The Jiang family sent it in front of the father and daughter.
This lively scene reminded Jiang Liu of the scene where his father and sisters went to buy New Year's goods outside Kang'an City before he left office.
The difference is that Daddy received a lot of things back then, but now Daddy doesn’t accept anything. He only asks how everyone prepares the New Year’s goods and how the vendors are doing business.
Another difference is that the people of Suzhou were separated by guards and could not surround Jiang Qinchai.
When he walked to a long stall full of furs, Jiang Liu stopped. Because there are a lot of furs on this stall, and the quality is also very good.
Jiang Liu stopped and was about to look at the fur, but saw Mu Chongyuan walking out of the shop behind the stall. Jiang Liu raised his eyes and looked up, and the words "Music Grocery" were hung on the store.
Mu Chongyuan seemed to be a different person today, standing behind the booth with a smile, "Jiang Qinchao, Miss Jiang, it is a blessing for the villains to stop in front of our store, these are ordinary goods outside the store, please move. Come on, let's have a cup of tea in the shop?"
Jiang Erye seemed to be moved, and wanted to go in and have a look, but Jiang Liu pulled his sleeves. Jiang Liu raised his eyes and said, "Father, my daughter is hungry."
Daughter was hungry, Jiang Erye immediately changed his mind, nodded slightly towards Mu Chongyuan, rejected his kindness, and then lowered his head and said to the precious girl, "This place is not far from the Piaoxiang Lou, let's go there now?"
Watching Jiang's father and daughter walk away, Mu Chongyuan turned back to the shop and ordered someone to fetch his cloak, "Go to Piaoxianglou."
"Master..."
Before Mu Ren's words could be said, he was frozen by Mu Chongyuan's icy eyes, and he dared not persuade him any more.
Mu Chongyuan dressed neatly, walked out of the store, paid attention to the Jiang family and his daughter, and followed the flow of people to Piaoxianglou.
Lu Dingyun, who came out with the team to protect Jiang Erye today, looked back at Mu Chongyuan, then withdrew his gaze and continued to observe the surrounding movement.
Mu Chongyuan glanced at the carved feather arrow on Lu Dingyun's back, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.
After entering the private room of Piaoxiang Tower, and eating the delicate snacks on the table, Jiang Erye asked his daughter, "What's wrong with that Mu Chongyuan just now?"
Jiang Liu said truthfully, "It doesn't look good to him."
That Mu Chongyuan just now had thick eyebrows and broad eyes, a high nose bridge, and his appearance was not bad, but if the girl said it was not pleasing to the eye, it was not pleasing to the eye. Jiang Erye said, "Although people are not pleasing to the eye, but the father looks at his family's skin is good, you can send someone to choose a few good ones and send them back to Kang'an."
"Okay." Jiang Liu agreed, the Mu family's leather, blankets, and tapestries are indeed the best I've seen today. Especially the tapestries, which are exquisite and have local characteristics, are very suitable for taking back as a dowry for my sister.
When Jiang Liu was thinking about it, Qin Qing came in and said, "Second Master, girl, then Mu Chongyuan also came to Piaoxianglou for dinner, in our private room not far away."
Before Jiang Erye said anything, Lu Dingyun walked in from outside the house and said in a low voice, "Second Master, the two people who were with Mu Chongyuan were very different from the two people they met in the Wanfo Temple in Dongcheng on the day of the heavy snow. picture."
Jiang Erye raised his eyes, "Big Brother Lu means that the person Zhong Dangtian went to see at Wanfo Temple that day was Mu Chongyuan?"
"It wasn't Mu Chongyuan who stood on the Twin Moon Pagoda that day," Lu Dingyun affirmed. "My subordinates just thought those two people were suspicious."
