The other two shopkeepers also mentioned that they heard that the new shopkeeper had bought a house or a village.
Lin Yanqing asked in detail, and after the shopkeepers had finished telling them all they could say, they were led away by Gu Zhong.
Bai Yiran took Lin Jinyan back to his yard on the pretext of having a personal talk with Lin Jinyan. After sending the others away, the two of them went into the inner room and sat down.
"Yan'er, a few days ago you asked Gu Momo to bring a letter and asked the General's Mansion to find a way to inform the Song Yushi at the Yushitai about the Liu family's purchase of an official position at the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Sure enough, within a few days, the Song Yushi Shi then reported this matter in front of the palace. Now that Shen Yunda is in jail, it is only a matter of time before he confesses to the Liu family. How did you know that the Song Yushi will definitely report this matter? "
Lin Jinyan's eyes moved slightly. How could she not know that in the previous life, the Song Dynasty censor was Chu Chengyao's man. Like Chu Chengyao, he had been hiding in the court until Chu Chengyao succeeded to the throne and appointed him for promotion. He was known to be Chu Chengyao's confidant only because of his important role.
The Minister of Civil Affairs is the prince's confidant, and if he can destroy the prince's confidants, Chu Chengyao will naturally help behind the scenes.
This is what Chu Chengyao did in his previous life, only two years later than now.
"Yan'er heard that her grandfather and father had talked about the fact that Song Yushi and Mr. Shen were not getting along in private. Yan'er thought that Song Yushi would not let it go after getting this news. Since Song Yushi is willing to come forward, there is no need to go to the General's Mansion. The waters are muddy.”
Bai Yiran nodded: "I see, you are smart. Liu Jie also sent two people to follow you as you said. Just as you feared, there were indeed people to protect him. I asked people to just follow and not alert the snake. Now Liu Jie lives in an inn in the south of the city. He doesn't even leave the door every day, and the waiter brings food in. The person I sent lives next door to Liu Jie. Yesterday, your good second aunt sent someone to send a message to Liu Jie to ask him to stay there. Keep him well hidden in the inn and send him out of the city after some time."
Lin Jinyan: "I'm afraid it will be difficult for my second aunt to send him out of the city."
"To prevent Liu Jie from escaping, I sent two more people to check into the inn this morning. It would be a dream for him to go out of town!"
"My aunt is still thoughtful. Thank you for your hard work."
Bai Yiran sighed: "If it weren't for the relationship between the Gu and Lin families, the General's Office would come out to investigate and immediately put the person in jail, why would a child like you bother to think about this? You asked Gu Momo to send a message to tell you? These shopkeepers have been arranged. When your father comes to the door, he will ask the shopkeeper to come to the door. Your father will ask in person. Isn't it to clean up the general's mansion? I will give all the orders to the shopkeepers and let them Tell me something and your grandfather and father will find out. Don’t worry.”
Lin Jinyan smiled and said: "As soon as I heard what the shopkeeper said, I knew that my aunt must have put in the trouble. Yan'er thanked her."
"The family said thank you or not. What do you want to do next?"
Lin Jinyan said with a smile: "Now let's wait for Master Shen to recruit the Liu family. After the news comes out, please ask my aunt to tell someone to tell Liu Jie. Liu Jie must not be a loyal person if he is so greedy for money and sex. Knowing that the Liu family is in trouble, I’m afraid I won’t help my second aunt resist the blame anymore.”
Bai Yiran nodded: "I thought it would be difficult for you to learn to be a housekeeper at your age, but now I'm relieved. I'm coming up with clever ideas one after another."
Lin Jinyan hugged Bai Yiran's arm and said affectionately: "Yan'er learned this from aunt. Aunt is the smartest person in the world. If Yan'er can't be managed well, aunt will definitely help Yan'er."
Bai Yiran looked at the coquettish Lin Jinyan with a smile on her lips and eyebrows.
