Before Lu Jing could answer, Xia Yao had already spoken, with a smile on her brows and eyes: "One is that I went to the factory to inquire about the batch of cloth that could be released. The person behind it was very powerful in the textile factory, and there was no one at all. We found that the batch of cloth had disappeared. As long as we are careful, we can completely sell it."
Seeing the excitement dancing in her eyes, Lu Jing felt happy and suddenly had a thought in his heart.
If so, then the second news Xia Yao said should be more important.
What news is more important than making money to a money-lover like Xia Yao?
Just as this thought came to Lu Jing's mind, Xia Yao said impatiently: "I talked to Public Security Li for a long time today, and I heard some news from him."
"Public Security Li said that many people in the neighboring county have been rehabilitated."
“A few more were former landowners.”
"If we can find the key evidence, can we be vindicated?"
After hearing Xia Yao's words, Lu Jing didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
He had already heard about the rehabilitation, but he just didn't expect that Xia Yao would take this matter so seriously.
"I heard that they found evidence of donating materials to fight the enemy. I believe that grandpa will also have it." Xia Yao said quickly, "Why don't we find a way to meet them?"
The reason why Xia Yao made this request was because the time was approaching when the Lu family would be destroyed.
Although the book does not clearly explain when and why the Lu family was destroyed, it is simply that someone was plotting behind the scenes, and if we want to completely solve this problem, we must completely wash away the grievances on the Lu family.
She remembered clearly that not long after the Lu family's incident, Lu Jing found the key evidence.
"How about it?" Xia Yao looked at Lu Jing, "Shall I go to the farm with you?"
Seeing that Lu Jing hadn't spoken yet, her beautiful eyes widened again: "I want to help you! As the saying goes, bystanders are confused by the authorities. Maybe with my participation, you can find clues faster?"
"Now is not the time."
Regarding Xia Yao's proposal, Lu Jing just shook his head coldly.
He had long known that many people in the neighboring county had been rehabilitated, but unlike the Lu family, no one was watching like vipers in the dark.
Xia Yao's smiling face just now turned cold immediately.
"you do not believe me?"
Xia Yao frowned and stared at Lu Jing intently.
Before Lu Jing could answer, she said with a cold face: "If you don't believe me, then go to the farm by yourself without me following."
Her pretty little face was straight, obviously very angry.
Before, Lu Jing would have only sneered at her attitude.
However, today, he found that he could not turn a cold shoulder to Xia Yao.
"Even if we were going to the farm, it shouldn't be now."
Lu Jing said his words first without thinking about them carefully.
Xia Yao didn't realize that Lu Jing's pupils were shaking at this moment, so she immediately asked, "When was that?"
"Lin Jin is still watching us in the city. Going to the farm now will only arouse their suspicion."
"Right."
Xia Yao nodded, but after thinking for a while, she couldn't help but express her worries.
"Since the Lin family has been keeping an eye on you but can't get the clues they want from you, then..." Xia Yao paused for a moment, as if he couldn't see Lu Jing's suddenly cold expression, "Will they go?" Looking for other members of the Lu family?"
"Relative to you, they are the ones who have the best control."
As soon as these words came out, Xia Yao keenly felt the change in Lu Jing's mood.
Then she knew that Lu Jing had listened to her words.
…
It was dark the next day, and the Qingshui brigade was quiet except for a few cockcrows.
Xia Yao and Lu Jing went out without attracting anyone's attention.
After yesterday's conversation, Lu Jing still did not make the decision to go to the farm. Instead, as agreed with Chen Zhou, he rushed to the place where they hid the defective cloth early in the morning.
When we arrived at the hiding place, the sound of "cuckoo" was particularly obvious.
The corner of Xia Yao's mouth twitched, it was almost autumn, and he was still singing like a cuckoo.
She said nothing and looked at Lu Jing with her peripheral vision.
But Lu Jing did not imitate the cuckoo call as she expected, but said coldly: "It's us."
Chen Zhou came out of the corner with a sly smile on his face: "Brother Lu, sister-in-law, you are here."
"We have already inquired about the matter." Xia Yao saw the expectation in his eyes and said, "There is no problem with this batch of defective cloth, you can safely sell it."
"Didn't the textile factory know that such a large amount of fabric was missing?" Chen Zhou was delighted at first, and then opened his eyes wide with confusion, "Is the textile factory so rich?"
"It's not so much that the textile factory is rich, but it's more that the people behind it are capable." Xia Yao snorted, "But it just happened to be an advantage for us."
"That's right." Chen Zhou rubbed his hands and chuckled, "I've asked before. One meter of cloth costs at least thirty yuan. Although our cloth is defective, it's not bad in other aspects. We can sell it no matter what. 20 meters each."
"And these..."
When Chen Zhou spoke, his eyes were filled with eagerness.
"We can sell at least more than 10,000 yuan!"
Speaking of this, Chen Zhou's breathing became rapid.
"Sold by the meter, some are too troublesome and time-consuming."
Xia Yao's words brought Chen Zhou back from his excitement.
"Then how do we sell it?" Chen Zhou said awkwardly, "How can ordinary people have the money to buy a piece of cloth?"
"So we need to find a good home."
Lu Jing said abruptly.
"That's right!" Xia Yao clapped his hands, "As long as we find a good home, we can make less money. This way the risk is lower."
If you go to the black market and sell it meter by meter, you will make more money, but when facing so many people, there is no guarantee that something unexpected will happen. For them, no accident can happen, and they cannot afford it.
"Black market..." Chen Zhou was stunned, "We don't know anyone..."
I knew a few of them before, but they all went in, and Lu Jing deliberately kept a distance from the black market in the county. They all went to the county next door to ship goods. Now if they want to build a good relationship...
"You don't need to know many people, the stranger the better." Xia Yao shook his head, "If we sell a large number of defective cloths, we will definitely attract others' attention."
"Pretending to be outsiders and coming here to take action, no one can find us."
After hearing Xia Yao finish these long words, Chen Zhou was completely stunned.
While he was dazed, Lu Jing nodded slowly, his handsome face still expressionless, but Chen Zhou could notice that when Lu Jing looked at Xia Yao, there was subtle appreciation in his eyes.
"This is the safest way." Lu Jing said in a deep voice, "The risk must be minimized."
"Chen Zhou and I will handle the black market." Lu Jing added, "But there are too many defective cloths in this batch. We'd better find an agreed place to sell all the defective cloths."
"It's better to choose a day than to hit it." Xia Yao coughed lightly, "Should we act now?"
Chen Zhou finally came to his senses. He was immersed in his amazing discovery. Hearing Xia Yao's words, he just nodded.
Anyway, since Xia Yao and Lu Jing were here, he just had to follow suit.
The three of them discussed it for a long time and finally settled the matter.
In the end, Xia Yao was responsible for going to the black market to find out information, while Lu Jing and Chen Zhou were responsible for sorting out the defective cloth here.
The reason for this is also very simple. Xia Yao's disguise is indeed better than that of Lu Jing and Chen Zhou. Especially Xia Yao's acting skills are simply unmatched.
…
Rongzhou County.
A woman with a pockmarked face stooped and limped in. She also held a letter of introduction in her hand, but no one stopped her to ask questions along the way.
Rongzhou County has the largest hospital nearby. Looking at this woman, she looks like she is here to see a doctor. Why bother a patient when she has nothing to do?
Xia Yao hobbled step by step and spent all his life's learning to fix the cripple.
She walked slowly on the road, looking around with her peripheral vision.
According to Chen Zhou, the black market is nearby, but she still has to find a way to get in.
So she pretended to be sad and asked the hospital if they had any milk powder for sale.
"Ouch! Milk powder is such a precious thing. It is sold out as soon as it comes out! The supply and marketing cooperative must have no more of it. It is useless for you to go to the hospital. Who is not short of milk powder?"
Xia Yao sighed deeply: "What should we do? My little grandson is waiting for milk powder to save his life! I don't know how I became a wife, she doesn't even have any milk!"
As he spoke, Xia Yao started to curse.
The person who was stopped by her for questioning rolled his eyes and suddenly lowered his voice: "If you really want to buy milk powder, I will show you a clear way."
As he spoke, the man pointed to the alley on one side.
"There might be something you want in there."
Xia Yao was secretly happy after finding the entrance to the black market. He quickly thanked the person and got into the alley.
The alley is long and narrow. Once you walk through the alley, you are in another world.
Xia Yao looked at the crowds of people coming and going inside. Everyone was disguised, and everyone wished they didn't even show their eyes.
She looked around and soon attracted a short man.
"Fifty cents." The man said angrily, "If you pay the money, nothing will happen to you."
Xia Yao listened and looked down at the man.
The man was short in stature and hated this look the most, but just as he was about to speak, he heard the pockmarked woman in front of him say: "Do you want some cloth?"
"Just pay! Don't talk about useless things!" The man was impatient.
But after he said this, his mind went blank for a moment, and then his eyes widened: "What did you say?"
Xia Yao's patience is very good: "Do you want cloth? I have a large number of defective cloths to sell. Let your managers come out and talk to me in detail."
Xia Yao spoke with a southern accent, and he knew he was not a local.
The man's eyes were still wide open. Xia Yao's words were beyond the scope of his answer.
"If you don't want...then I will find another one." Xia Yao left a sentence.
"Wait!" The man stopped her quickly, "Wait here! I'll go find our big brother right away!"
