"What's the point of crying in the cemetery? His father is dead and he's not allowed to cry a few times? Did anyone hear what they said?" Chen Xuan said impatiently.
"I heard something, but..." Lai Xiao hesitated because Chen Yue was actually the daughter of his employer.
"Humph, I know even if you don't tell me, this little bitch..." Chen Xuan swallowed up the word "bitch". After all, this child is his own. Even if she doesn't recognize her as the father, she still scolds herself. "What did they say?"
"The people I sent didn't dare to get too close. I just heard that the master was in power in the village, and that he had driven away some 'third uncle'..."
"that's it?"
"that's it."
Chen Xuan thought this was expected. He knew something about this nephew. He had been a well-behaved child since he was a child. He was not a troublemaker or a scheming person, so he was still able to handle it.
"In the future, you can find a few more people and keep an eye on him, Xiao Yue, and Chen Qing's family. No matter what they do, they must tell me. Do you understand?"
"I understand, little one!"
"What about the thing I told you to keep an eye on the Australians?"
Lai Xiao was frightened and said hurriedly: "Sir, everyone else is easy to talk to, why bother to provoke this Australian master! These people are so sophisticated. If they see through it, wouldn't it be a great disadvantage to your boss..."
"Looking at you, you seem to be particularly afraid of Australians." Chen Xuan smiled slowly.
Lai Xiao felt his scalp numb and hurriedly defended: "I heard that the Australians are the most closely guarded in Lingao and Guangzhou. Even if it is a trivial matter, as long as they know what they want to know, there is nothing they don't know! Sir, please give Australia People just run errands, what do you do if you know too much..."
"You are the only one who is so loyal!" Chen Xuan didn't know why this scoundrel was so afraid of the Australians, so he scolded, "It's true that I run errands for the Australians. But what happens below... hmm? How many people are dissatisfied? Don't say goodbye. Well, as far as what you do in the village, if someone comes to you and tells that woman...the chief, what do you think the chief thinks of you?"
"Australians still count on us to do things..."
"It's true that we should do things, but we also have to let the birds go and hide them, and the rabbits will die and the dogs will be cooked!" Chen Xuan touched his forehead, "You have to be more careful! Especially now that Chen Lin is in the factory. , you have to be on guard."
"Yes, sir." Lai Xiao said helplessly, "I'll ask the people in the factory to pay more attention..."
Chen Xuan felt a little irritable and asked again: "You will send someone to Sanliang in a few days. They must find out the whereabouts of Chen Ding!"
Chen Ding is the "third uncle" in Chen Lin's mouth, the youngest of the three brothers. Although he is not a smart person, he is upright, has a strong personality, and is eager for justice. He is very popular among his tribe and villagers. If he had not relied on the intimidation of the Australians, he would not have been able to drive away this third brother. .
He originally wanted to label the third child as a "remnant of the Ming Dynasty" so that the Australians would get rid of this serious problem. However, the Australians said that they could not see any connection between him and Ming Dynasty. In the end, he committed suicide by himself and refused to hand over the village's clan field account books and atlas. He was labeled as a "clan element" before he was kicked out. Running.
But although Chen Ding was not in the village, he was still worried that the third brother would find an opportunity to make a comeback. He knew very well what his third brother was capable of. A gentleman like him who was eager for justice would attract attention wherever he went. Now is the time for Australians to employ people. If he is recruited by Australians...
For this reason, he sent several groups of people to Sanliang City in succession. However, the people sent came back and reported that although Chen Ding's wife and children were there, he himself was not at his father-in-law's house. Moreover, I didn't find out where he went.
This became a worry for Chen Xuan.
"I will send someone to Sanliang tomorrow." Lai Xiao hesitated and said, "Master, if we must find the whereabouts of Master Ding, I probably won't be able to find out in Sanliang..."
"how do I say this?"
"He must have left Sanliang and gone somewhere before entrusting his wife and children to his father-in-law." Lai Xiaodao said, "How can we find him if we go to Sanliang to look for him?"
"The world is so big. If you don't go to Sanliang to look for him, where will you go?" Chen Xuandao said, "He can't disappear out of thin air. He will definitely take care of something."
"In my opinion, the place Master Ding is most likely to go to is Guangzhou!"
"Huh?" Chen Xuan regained his energy, "How do you say this?"
"Master, please think that Master Ding knows that Master Lin is in Guangzhou. But he doesn't know that Master Lin has returned to Nansha." Lai said, "He has nothing to do with you in Sanliang, so he can only go to his nephew to discuss countermeasures."
Chen Xuan nodded repeatedly. Although Qiu Lezi looked ugly, he analyzed the problem very clearly. Why didn't I think of this?
"Now that Master Lin is in the palm of the master's hands, if the most worrying thing is that Master Ding failed in Guangzhou, he probably won't be willing to give up. Maybe he will find a way to find connections in Guangzhou. After all, the one with the most true talents now The place is Guangzhou..."
Chen Xuan slapped his thigh: "You're right! Why didn't I think of this crucial point!" He thought for a while, his family had no close relatives in Guangzhou, but they had several distant relatives. When Chen Lin went to Guangzhou, it was he who defected to Chen Xuan's cousin Wu Yijun.
Maybe the third brother also went to the Wu family!
"How about you go to Guangzhou for a run..." He looked at Lai Xiao
Lai Xiao was almost scared out of his mind: He just came out of that den of tigers and wolves, how could he go back? He somewhat regretted his "advice" and hurriedly said: "It's not appropriate for a villain to go. It needs to be someone who recognizes Master Ding and is familiar with the connections in Guangzhou - and has some identity."
Chen Xuanzai's eyes turned to Lai Xiao, who showed fear when he mentioned going to Guangzhou - he probably had some ulterior past in Guangzhou, and he was probably sued for his life.
It's okay, this leper has a stain on his body, so it will be easier for him to handle him.
But if he doesn't go, who will?
Chen Xuan pondered for a moment and thought of someone. This man's surname was Han and his given name was Changfu. He was originally the accountant of the clan. Because of misbehavior, tampering with accounts, embezzling money, and refusing to change despite repeated admonitions, he was expelled a few years ago.
After being expelled, Han Changfu was still messing around in Nansha. He was also a second-rate figure, so he was very familiar with Chen Xuan.
This Han Changfu has a brother who is also a gangster and has been messing around in Guangzhou. The two brothers had close contacts in the past, so he was very familiar with the situation in Guangzhou, and with the help of a local tiger, he was the best person to go to Guangzhou.
"Go and call Han Changfu."
After the man was called, Chen Xuan explained the matter to him: "We must find out the whereabouts of Chen Ding!"
"Master, it's not difficult to inquire about someone. As long as he is in Guangzhou, you can definitely find him." Han Changfu said, "What should I do after I inquire about him?"
"After you find out, find a few people and kidnap him back to me!" Chen Xuan said fiercely.
"I understand!" Han Changfu said, "We just need to give him a few more people."
"Isn't your eldest brother a member of the Guandi Temple? If you give him some money, won't he do it for you?"
Lai Xiao hurriedly said: "Master, you can't do it! Now that the people of Guandi Temple have been wiped out by the Australians, it's not easy to find people who do the dirty work. And the Australians have many spies inside and outside the city. I'm afraid it will cause fire!"
Once the people sent are caught, they will tell the Australians if they pour beans into bamboo tubes. Kidnapping is a serious crime no matter whether it was under the Ming Dynasty or the Australians. If someone is implicated, it will be called a clean sweep.
Chen Xuan thought about it. He openly sent people to kidnap people in Guangzhou city. This was too disrespectful to the Australians.
Han Changfu thought about it and said, "I have an idea."
"What method?"
"Since he is hiding outside and refuses to come back, let's find a way to get him to come back on his own!" Han Changfu has a lot of ideas, "Isn't Master Lin back? Let's use Master Lin as bait to lure him back!"
"Brother Han, this is a good plan. Even if the master refuses to return to Nansha, you can still trick him into other places. As long as he leaves Guangzhou City, it will be easy!" Lai Xiaohurriedly said.
"Okay! Let's do it!" Chen Xuan's face turned red with excitement, "You two are worthy of being my right-hand man!" After that, he slapped them on the shoulders.
Lai Xiao secretly cursed that his left and right arms were useless, and he didn't give any more money. He turned his face to the side and met Han Changfu's eyes. The two of them suddenly knew: they had the same idea!
Han Changfu said: "That's what I said, but there's no telling whether the master will be in Guangzhou. I'm afraid it will take some time to find out."
"I'll give you three months. You can investigate for me in Guangzhou until everything is clear." Chen Xuan, the speaker, brought over a pair of cards. "You go to the accountant and pay ten taels of silver for travel expenses. Choose two more reliable ones. Someone will go with you. Once things are done, you will be rewarded heavily when you come back!"
Han Changfu thought to himself: I believe you, you idiot! Three people went to Guangzhou for three months and only received ten taels of silver! Travel expenses and living expenses are certainly not small, but it is not easy to handle, and you have to spend money everywhere. Even though Han Changle was his eldest brother, he couldn't call him in vain.
Fortunately, Guangzhou is a world of entertainment. Now that I have money and people, and my big brother is here, I might be able to take advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune. It's not a bad trip.
Chen Lin stayed in Fengshenghe for almost a whole day, and followed Li Yaoer and Shen Su to visit every corner of the renovated Fengshenghe.
Since he wanted to gain Li Yao'er's trust, he naturally had to do his best in the silk factory. Every place, every process, every piece of equipment, if you don't recognize it or don't understand it, you have to ask carefully. The advantages and disadvantages can also be found one by one. However, Li Yaoer's master and apprentice were a little surprised: This young master of the factory is really not an embroidered pillow!
After the visit, he returned to the office in the front yard. It was already noon. Li Yaoer said: "Since you are here, today is the first day of work. Have lunch here and then go back to rest."
"This..." Chen Lin really wanted to eat here, but it would be too wild to dine with two young women like this...
