"Well, when will the next batch of goods be shipped out?"
The old man asked again.
"We plan to load the ship tonight, and we can leave while it's dark!"
Qian Baolai answered.
For the Qian family, other businesses are not important. Even if they suffer some losses, there is no problem. However, the secret business cannot be affected in any way.
Qian Baolai's answer also made the master nod with satisfaction.
"Qian San, please tidy up, tally up the business on our books, and sort out our family assets. Take half of it and send it to the government office!"
"father!"
Qian Baolai's eyes were a bit shocked.
"Is it so cheap, Su Chen?"
"That's what we worked hard for..."
"Snapped……"
Before he could finish his words, Mr. Qian slapped him hard on the face.
With a gloomy face, he stared at Qian Baolai in front of him: "If you hadn't made your own decision, how could these things have happened?"
"With half the family wealth, do you think I'm not heartbroken? But what can you do?"
"Do you know what kind of person this Su Chen is?"
"..."
Qian Baolai covered his cheek and looked at his father with an aggrieved face: "Isn't he just a Zhizhou? You know, Zhizhou is just like running water. He can come or leave at any time!"
"Hmph, can he be favored by His Majesty, be able to unite the four states on the island into one, and give him self-governance? Is it possible that he is just an ordinary magistrate?"
"His identity is probably more terrifying than some second-grade officials in the court!"
The old man glared at Qian Baolai in front of him, and then took a deep breath: "Remember, no matter what happens in the future, you must investigate it before making a decision. Do you know that sometimes, you make a very small decision?" , it is possible to ruin the entire family!"
"Do you know Fan Jin?"
"Annan Hou Fan Jin?"
Qian Baolai was stunned.
"Yes, I got the news that Fan Jin also suffered a lot at the hands of Su Chen, but if you look carefully, has Fan Jin said anything now? No, even before, in order to deal with Su Chen also raised some soldiers for our Qian family. He was also dragged out before!"
"But what about now? Haven't you retreated?"
"You have to understand that there are some people in this world that we cannot offend. They can affect our life or death!"
"If we can't be friends, then we should try to hide away!"
"Otherwise, there will be disaster!"
After finishing speaking, the old man took a deep breath, looked at Qian Baolai in front of him, and the anger in his heart calmed down a little: "Don't go out for the next few days. I will follow up on this matter personally, and take care of it." Think about it!"
"Yes, father!"
Qian Baolai didn't dare to say anything at all and nodded hurriedly.
the next day!
Su Chen had just woken up and after washing up, he heard the sound of gongs and drums outside.
This made Su Chen feel a little strange. He glanced outside, and then asked softly: "What's the sound outside?"
"The guards outside the door just now announced that they are from the Qian family, bringing account books and family property. Even the old head of the Qian family came in person, saying that his son is ignorant and dares to attack you. , and fortunately, you were willing to give such a chance, so they came over with their things."
Su Chen nodded slightly.
I was also a little surprised.
He never thought that this rich man would be so aware of current affairs.
It even made Su Chen feel a little incredible. You know, Su Chen had already prepared the idea of entering Qian's house and turning everything upside down.
However, Su Chen was really embarrassed when the Qian family came here.
"Invite people in first!"
Su Chen's brows wrinkled slightly.
As expected, no one who can start from scratch and save such a large fortune is easy.
…
At this moment, Di Qing flipped through a case book.
His brows furrowed deeply, and he vaguely felt that something was not right.
"Matidi murder and corpse burning case??"
When Di Qing saw the file, he shook his head slightly, and then opened the case file bit by bit. He read it carefully and frowned deeply.
After reading the entire case, he said, "Something is not right!"
"There were eight people killed, and they were at the same time and at the same place. But there was only one murderer? According to the description, the murderer was just a local farmer, and there was a grudge between them. But what kind of farmer? , can kill eight people by one person, and also kill people and burn their bodies?"
Di Qing pressed down the case.
He said to the people below: "Is this Wang Xu still being held in the prison?"
"Already beheaded!"
A yamen servant below hurriedly came over and said seriously.
"Already beheaded? How is that possible? Logically speaking, such an important case, and such a tragic murder case, needs to be reported. The entire process of beheading will probably take at least half a year."
"This case happened in September!"
Di Qing patted the case in his hand and looked at the government servant in front of him.
"this……"
The yamen servant seemed a little embarrassed. After a slight pause, he said, "Sir, please don't embarrass us. This matter was personally spoken and supervised by Master Tao Wenyuan."
"How dare we ask anything? Whatever the adults say, we will do it!"
The yamen servant smiled awkwardly.
Di Qing nodded: "Is there anyone else in Wang Xu's family?"
Intuition told Di Qing that this case was not simple, and it should be a very involved case.
Otherwise, what kind of hatred could make one person rise up and kill eight people outright?
"I'm not very clear about this. If you want to investigate, you can go and search through the household registration database in the government office." The government official smiled awkwardly, then sighed and said: "However, the records inside may not be accurate!"
"Which cell was Wang Xu kept in before he was beheaded? Take me there!"
Di Qing's brows wrinkled slightly.
All of this was too much of a coincidence, and he frowned deeply.
"Sir, come with me!"
When the officer heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Di Qing had no intention of pursuing him. Otherwise, no matter what happens, he will be charged with dereliction of duty.
