The dead general was kidnapped by his husband and taken to farm.

Chapter 131 Rushing to the County City

Qingping County.

Jiang Shian was not in the town at this time. He and Yingmo came directly to Qingping County.

That day, Yingmo asked the shop assistant to pass on a message and then disappeared, and there was no news from him for the next four or five days.

Jiang Shian was worried for several days, fearing that the situation on Ji Yinghuai's side would change and he might be in danger or something.

He became more and more anxious as he waited, thinking that Yuan'an Town was a small place after all, and even if there was any news, he would not be able to find out anything. He hesitated whether to go to Qingping County, which was not too far from the capital and had many merchants coming and going, so he should be able to find out something.

Unexpectedly, just as he was about to leave, Yingmo came back.

Yingmo told Jiang Shian the reason for his sudden departure.

The matter they were investigating involved the governor of Qingping County.

There had been no definite evidence before. This time, the prefect's eldest son was getting married, and Ji Yinghuai happened to have found out that the prefect had extensive ties with the left prime minister's lineage, so Yingmo rushed over.

Jiang Shian didn't ask in detail what they were doing and just nodded.

After carefully inquiring about Ji Yinghuai's situation, Jiang Shian was relieved to learn that everything was going well and he would be back in a few days.

Fortunately, his things were packed and he hadn't been home for a long time. I wonder if the neighbors who sent him home are doing well now.

It would be better to take this opportunity to go there and find out about the Jiang family.

As for the most important point, Ji Yinghuai must pass through Qingping County on his way back.

Jiang Shian asked Yingmo to pass a message to Ji Yinghuai, and they could meet in Qingping County then.

The business in the shop is now on track, and the workshop at home is running more and more smoothly. There are shop assistants looking after the shop, and Fengnian and Aunt Huang's family are also at home. Jiang Shian explained everything in detail.

Huang Qiuxiang didn't think much about it. She just thought that Jiang Shi'an was missing her deceased parents and was going back to see them. If she hadn't had something important at home, she would have wanted to go with them to see her former good sisters. It was a pity that she couldn't see them for the last time, but at least she could burn some incense and tell them that Shi'an was doing well now.

Before leaving, Fengnian saw them off at the door with red eyes, making it seem as if Jiang Shian and the others would never come back.

Jiang Shian shook his head helplessly and patted Fengnian on the shoulder: "Why are you crying? I will be back in a few days. This time I am also going to visit my parents. The journey is a bit far, and I can't be alone at home. You stay at home and go find Aunt Huang if you have anything. I will bring you some delicious food when I come back."

-

The largest restaurant in Qingping County.

There were two people sitting by the window on the second floor of the restaurant.

Judging from their aura, they didn't look like ordinary people. One of them was dressed in black and had a cold aura, while the one sitting opposite him was a young man dressed in white.

No matter it was the guests going upstairs or the waiters serving tea and water, they couldn't help but cast curious glances when passing by.

This young man was very eye-catching. He had a hood on his head. Although his face could not be seen, the hand stretched out from under the hood was white and slender. In the sunlight coming in from the window, it was faintly glowing.

Although she was wearing the simplest white clothes, the embroidery and fabric were both brocade, which was not available here and was only available in the capital.

He looks like a young master who was pampered by a wealthy and powerful family. He must be loved and doted on at home.

The waiter was stunned for a moment. Their Qingping County was not small, and there were many young men and women from wealthy families who came to the restaurant to drink tea and eat. He had seen all kinds of beauties, but no one could give him this feeling, a beauty that could not be concealed even with a hood.

Suddenly, a cold gaze rested on him. The waiter shuddered all over and looked again. It was the man sitting opposite the young master.

At this moment, she was looking at him coldly, and that look made his heart tremble. He quickly looked away, not daring to look at her any longer.

Yingmo snorted in his heart. This was their young master's man, how could they let these people look at him casually? But the young master had put on a hood to cover most of his body, and he still attracted so many people's attention. If the young master was here, who knows how humiliated he would be.

Jiang Shian and his friends arrived last night, stayed in the inn for one night, and came to have breakfast tea early in the morning.

This is the largest restaurant in Qingping County. Not only can you eat, but there is also a rich variety of refreshments. There is an inn behind the restaurant, so it is also convenient for dining.

Now that he was here, Jiang Shian wanted to try out the ancient delicacies to see which one was better, versus the modern delicacies.

This restaurant is quite tall, with four floors, and each floor is different.

The first floor is for temporary guests and people who temporarily eat there, while the second and third floors are for permanent residents and people who eat there. The third floor is quieter than the second floor because only those in the "top" room can come up there.

Looking down from the third floor, the view is wider and the range is larger. Jiang Shian sits by the window on the third floor and can just see the Jiang family’s mansion around the corner.

There were a lot of people gathered at the gate of Jiang's house. Judging from their clothes, they should be ordinary people. They seemed to be holding cloth bags in their hands and were standing at the gate arguing with the people inside.

We were quite far away, so I couldn't hear the specific conversation.

"Would you two like something to eat?"

The waiter came to pour tea for their table. He couldn't help but glance at Jiang Shian's face, trying to see what he looked like through the veil.

Jiang Shian withdrew his gaze, and the waiter handed him a notebook with the restaurant's special dim sum and some snacks on it.

Jiang Shian looked around casually and asked, "I see a lot of people at the gate of the mansion across the street. Is there any good news?"

Hearing the other party talking to him, the waiter smiled and glanced outside: "Young Master, are you from out of town?"

Jiang Shian nodded and ordered some signature morning tea.

The waiter smiled and explained, "The house across the street belongs to the Jiang family. They used to be the richest family in Qingping County. But after Mr. Jiang passed away, the business and the house belonged to the second master, who is not good at doing business. Someone who bought rice from his house came to them to complain. They sold inferior rice to others, claiming it was new rice and was several years old."

"That's it." Jiang Shian responded with a slight curve of his lips.

Seeing that no one came up to urge him and the shopkeeper was not there, the waiter said a few more words: "The second master of the Jiang family is really dishonest. He is not doing a good job in business and has no integrity. Our restaurant used to order tea from the original master Jiang. Master Jiang was fair, the quality of the tea was impeccable, and the price was negotiable. But now it has become the second master. The price has increased by 10%, and the tea is not of the previous quality. We, the shopkeeper, will not do business with them anymore."

Jiang Shian was drinking tea with his veil only half on. Just now he had been looking out the window at the people around him and could only see their backs and the back of their heads. Now he turned around and the people at the tables next to him were suddenly amazed at his peripheral vision.

Seeing Jiang Shian looking at him seriously, the waiter swallowed his saliva. Oh my god, this guy is really good-looking. No wonder he has to cover it with a veil.

Seeing the curiosity in the eyes of the young man opposite, he lowered his voice and said, "Our boss has a big business and is not without people behind him. Mr. Jiang II reluctantly compensated for the loss. As for the common people below, I guess they can only suffer in silence."

"What are you doing, waiter? Take your order."

"Here I am. Please wait a moment, sir."

There was an urging voice coming from the table next to them, so the waiter stopped talking and walked over with the menu they had just checked.

He didn't even last half a year, and he ruined the business left by the original owner's father. Although the Jiang family is a big family with a lot of wealth, it is impossible for it to be squandered in three to five years, but this is the savings of the original owner's father, and it has nothing to do with this lazy and confused second uncle. We can't let this second uncle waste it for nothing.

Yingmo observed the expression on Jiang Shian's face and spoke at the right time: "Once the master has dealt with the matter, Black Shadow and the others should be back. By then, we will have enough manpower and this matter can be investigated in less than a day."

In fact, if he were asked to check, he could find out everything in half a day, but he was a little worried about letting Jiang Shian stay in the restaurant alone.

The letter from Black Shadow said that the master would be here this evening, so it wouldn't take half a day.
