"Brother Chu, does he know that there is a Yang family at the other end of West Street that specializes in wholesale paper money?"
After hearing Ding An's words, Chu Yi immediately thought of something and hurriedly asked: "Of course I know. Brother Ding is saying that the burglary in my house in the middle of the night has something to do with the Yang family?"
Ding An nodded and said: "There is no evidence at the moment. I am just guessing that Wang Xiaoshun also has an older brother in his family, named Wang Dashun. These two brothers usually entertain cats and dogs, and are often involved in petty theft. They are from West Street. The gangster who was famous in the movie had been dealt with by the government before, but he rarely came to Changqing Street.
But the strange thing is that when the brothers visited, many people reported that they had often seen the brothers sneaking around nearby some time ago. "
"But the period after the Spring Festival and before the Lantern Festival?"
Ding An looked at Shen Luzhu in astonishment: "Yes, what do my siblings know?"
"When we just came back from the village at the beginning of the month, someone once told us that there were always two people snooping around the house during the New Year period, but around the Lantern Festival, they suddenly disappeared again. But what does this have to do with the Yang family? "
"The two brothers Wang Xiaoshun have been hanging out with the third son of the Yang family in the past two years. They are also a gangster. They are in their thirties and they are still causing trouble all the time. I was thinking that these colleagues are enemies, and this Yang family does The methods of doing business have never been very open and aboveboard. Perhaps it was because of the jealousy of the Yang family that they found the two brothers to cause sabotage."
Chu Yi raised his glass to Ding An, and then said: "Brother Ding's guess must be correct. Talking about it in detail, my family and the Yang family are a little bit unhappy."
Chu Yi learned in detail from Ding An how the Yang family had counterfeited the copper coins and burned the paper at a low price a year ago. After learning the cause and effect, Ding An became more certain of his previous guesses.
"If that's the case, then it makes more sense."
As soon as the officials found out Wang Xiaoshun's identity, they went to the home of the two brothers on West Street and prepared to take Wang Dashun back for investigation. However, when they arrived, the Wang family was left with only one wife, children, and young children. There was no Wang Dashun. Shadow and the Wang family also didn't know anything about it. Finally, they learned from the Wang family's neighbors that Wang Dashun had left home with the package.
The officers did not know that when the police officer arrested Wang Xiaoshun at the hospital that day, Wang Dashun was actually buying alcohol in a nearby shop. He saw his younger brother being arrested across the street and was so frightened that he fled the county town overnight. Now he is no longer alive. Know where to hide.
Although the comparison of the footprints was not successful, Wang Dashun's escape confirmed the officials' suspicion of the brothers. However, they were unable to arrest the brothers because there was no evidence, so they could only continue to look for clues along the brothers' various social relationships. After finding out that the two people seemed to have a very close relationship with Yang Fangsheng, and thinking of the Yang family's business methods over the years, Ding An began to make some guesses.
Later, the officials went to the Yang family under the guise of investigating Wang Dashun's whereabouts. They wanted to deceive Yang Fangsheng and see if they could get some useful clues, but they never thought that he was not at home. Not only that, the Yang family also He claimed that Yang Fangsheng was ill and went back to his ancestral home in the countryside to recuperate after the Lantern Festival and never came back.
The officials did not believe the Yang family's argument. The old man of the Yang family, who was already bedridden, was not sent back to the countryside to rest. Instead, Yang Fangsheng, who was 30 years old, was sent back. It happened to be at this time , it’s too much of a coincidence.
As if they had guessed the thoughts of the officials, the Yang family was surprisingly cooperative. With a look of sincerity and fear, they actually took the initiative to find many witnesses to prove that Yang Fangsheng had indeed not been seen in the county since the Lantern Festival. They also said that if there were still If they are concerned, they can also take the officials to the ancestral home in the countryside to find out what happened, and the people there can also testify.
In this way, the officials could not continue to entangle. After all, everything was Ding An's guess. The government had no conclusive evidence to prove that the Yang family and Yang Fangsheng were involved. Not only that, it also proved that the prisoners that night were the Wang Dashun brothers. There is no evidence for either.
At present, Wang Xiaoshun refuses to plead guilty because he has no evidence, and Wang Dashun has disappeared without a trace. Even the Yang family has no way to deal with it for the time being, as if everything is in a deadlock and they can't escape.
The most important thing is that the Chu family and the Sun family did not suffer any losses that night. Even if the officials caught the main culprit and the other party confessed, it would be considered an attempt at most, and in the end it would be just a small punishment but a big punishment, and it would not really be able to solve the problem. Several people were imprisoned.
Ding An said feeling a little ashamed: "So the main reason why I came today is to apologize to everyone. It's because of our incompetence that we can't bring these thieves to justice for the time being. I'm really ashamed of this outfit, but don't worry, Brother Chu." , he will never let this matter pass like this!"
Chu Yi said hurriedly: "Brother Ding is really out of touch with what he said. We know this well, and we won't blame it on Brother Ding and all the officials. If Brother Ding can come over and tell us this, it's already They took extra care of us.”
"Yes, Brother Ding, to be honest, we have nothing to lose. Knowing who is behind the scenes is better than not knowing anything and making random suspicions."
Ding An drank the wine in the glass, nodded and said: "It's still Brother Chu and his younger brother and sister Kuoda. If this is the case, then I will feel more at ease. However, the Yang family and Yang Fangsheng's behavior has never been very decent. We should pay more attention to it in the future." Just be careful."
"Thank you, Brother Ding, for reminding us. We will definitely pay more attention to it."
It took a long time to finish the meal, and it wasn't until the sky turned completely dark that Ding An and his daughter said goodbye to the Chu family.
Zheng Zheng had already fallen asleep in the east wing accompanied by Li Hua. After packing up, the young couple also returned to the house, because they had already predicted the outcome of this matter. After Ding An came today, Shen Lu Zhu felt a little more relaxed in his heart. When he and Chu Yi were sitting by the kang and washing their feet, they even hummed an unknown tune.
Seeing his wife's appearance, Chu Yi asked amusedly: "Azhu seems to be in a good mood?"
"Well, I think this is actually not bad. What about you, Chu Yi?"
Shen Luzhu's words were meaningless, but Chu Yi knew what she was talking about: "It's true. I originally thought there would be no result in this matter. But now, thanks to Brother Ding, we now know who is behind the scenes. Who is it? I can guess the other party’s purpose, so I feel at ease. Just like A Zhu said, it’s better than making random guesses all day long.”
Shen Luzhu nodded, then said with a wicked smile: "Actually, there is a little more."
"What is it?"
"Actually, even if the government really finds evidence this time and arrests them all, it will probably only end with a few slaps. After all, we really have nothing to lose, but in this case, I won't feel relieved at all. What if that happens? The two brothers surnamed Wang refused to admit that they were related to the Yang family. When the time came, the Yang family didn't even get a slap in the face. Not only was I not relieved, but I might even be even more angry. Now, it can be said that the enemy is overt and we are covert. Well, according to the nature of the Yang family, they will not let it go, so we just have to wait for them to take action, and then we will collect all the evidence and give them a lesson they will never forget, so that we can relieve our anger!"
"Okay, listen to A-Zhu and make sure to look good to them next time."
Last time, the Yang family counterfeited their own copper coins to burn paper and maliciously lowered the price. They hadn't even settled the accounts with them yet. Just now, something happened again. Shen Luzhu thought that although he was not a very evil person, he could There is no such thing as being bullied over and over again.
They did not immediately respond directly to the matter of burning copper coins and paper. Firstly, they knew that it was only a matter of time before they were counterfeited. Even if there was no Yang family, there would be Wang family, Zhang family, Li family and Zhao family in the future. This business has always been difficult. There are few unique ones. To put it bluntly, the more competition, the more it can promote the development of the industry.
Furthermore, they had just arrived in the county town to develop, and they had not yet established a firm foothold. The business was to start the business stably first. They really had no extra thoughts to engage in intrigues.
As the saying goes, the first bird is the first to be shot. When they arrived in the county, they first made a small splash by burning copper coins, paper and paper ingots. If they confront the Yang family in a high-profile manner, they may attract dissatisfaction and siege from their colleagues, but now it seems , it’s time for them to show off their talents and let others know that they are not soft persimmons who can be easily manipulated by others.
It has been two days since Ding An came to the Yang family residence on West Street with his officials, but everyone in the Yang family seems to have not recovered from the tension and fear that day. To be precise,
He said that the only ones who were really scared and nervous were the old couple of the Yang family. Every time Ding An asked a question, the old man of the Yang family became nervous, fearing that a bad answer would reveal a flaw. The old lady of the Yang family was mostly scared and kept thinking about that day. When the old man wanted to send his third son to the countryside, luckily she didn't stop him too much, otherwise he would be disabled today.
As for the brothers Yang Fangwen and Yang Fangwu, they didn't feel much at all, and they even felt a little pity. If Yang Fangsheng was arrested, and the officials would investigate other things, they might not be able to come out again this time. Even if this prodigal son cannot inherit the family's business, he should still be able to share more of the family property.
The old man of the Yang family thought about it for two days, but he still couldn't let go. After all, he dragged his illness and went to the money master's house in person with the money. He originally wanted to find peace of mind, but who would have thought that the old man of the Yang family would take money from the money. After returning from the house, his face became even worse. He was helped back to the room by the servants, and he lay there sighing all the time.
When the old lady of the Yang family saw this formation, she was immediately frightened and asked with a grimace: "Old man, what's wrong with you? I want to say something, what did Mr. Qian tell you? When will our precious son come back?" Ah, you are talking!"
It was okay not to mention Yang Fangsheng, but when he mentioned the third son, the old man of the Yang family became excited: "What did you say? This time you have hit the wall. It's not your precious son who caused the trouble. What do you mean? He obviously didn't steal anything, but why did Capt. Ding insist on holding on to this matter? It turns out that Chu Ji's boss and he are brothers, and they are trying to create a situation for their brothers. This feud has become serious!"
"Ah? This... how can this be possible? When we robbed their business before, we didn't see anything wrong with them... No, when it comes to enmity, when you first robbed other people's business, you should have made the enmity long ago. We got married at that time. How can you blame me, the third child? The third child also thought of this method for the sake of family business. I am his mother-in-law. I know best what he thinks. His father, you can do it. Think of a way."
The old man wanted to wave away his old lady's hand and slap him, but today's tossing has consumed most of his energy. Now he really has no energy, so he can only say angrily: "You still have the nerve to give that The bastard is looking for an excuse. What happened to robbing him of his business before? This is normal competition. Who can say that I have broken the law? If I hold my breath again, the Chu family will swallow it obediently. Is this the same as what that bastard did? It’s hard for people to find excuses. We haven’t found it yet, so he might as well just hand over the clue to someone else.”
"Then what do you think we should do? What should we do with our son?"
"Let him die in the countryside, out of sight and out of mind."
The old man of the Yang family was obviously speaking out of anger, but Mrs. Yang, who had always regarded Yang Fangsheng as a thorn in her side, couldn't listen at all. She just thought that he really didn't care about the life and death of her precious son, so she pounced on him with a cry.
"How dare you! You damn old man, if the third one wants to talk about anything, I'll fight you to the death!"
There was a lot of excitement in the room. From that day on, the Yang family's old man's body became worse and worse day by day.
