Chapter 294 Fighting
After Sheng Yu'an found out, he looked at Nanchun.
"My nephew is much more capable than his father. He knew there was a conspiracy, so he found a scapegoat who couldn't speak, and then used money to silence the family of the deceased. He suppressed the incident before it even got out of hand. He, Master Sheng, even earned a reputation as a benevolent and magnanimous person."
Nan Chun smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. Since he knows there's a scam, he will definitely go and track down the source of the goods. If he finds Ge Longjiang, it means he's found the young master."
Sheng Yu'an said, "You guessed right. Wei Zhong, one of Zexi's men, has already taken a few people to Yuncheng."
Nan Chun said in surprise, "Young Master Sheng is indeed a man of action. After something like this happened in Yangcheng, Young Master Sheng sent people to Yuncheng. When the young master finds out, he will definitely be furious."
Sheng Yu'an said with a smile, "I find it quite interesting to see you youngsters fighting with each other. From now on, the world will be ruled by you young people."
Nanchun curled her lips and said, "Fourth Master, I want to finish this early and live in seclusion in the mountains. Please don't give up."
Sheng Yu'an was delighted when he heard this: "I see you're obsessed with money. Are you really willing to give up all this family property?"
Nan Chun smiled slyly: "I will definitely take my money."
"Then take more."
When Nanchun returned home, Baixun had not returned yet.
Bai Xun is busier than him now. After all, he is the head of the Bai family and has to take care of many things.
Bai Xun came back at night.
Nanchun woke up dazed and lay on the pillow looking at him.
Bai Xun took off his coat quietly and when he turned around he saw Nanchun looking at him with her round eyes.
With a smile on his face, he walked over and kissed Nanchun on the forehead: "Did I wake you up?"
Nanchun said: "No, I was half asleep. Why did you come back so late?"
Bai Xun said, "The power plant was doing a check on their accounts today, and they hired some new people, so we were delayed for a while."
"Why is Fourth Master so free? He was chatting with me in the afternoon." Nanchun said.
Bai Xun smiled and said, "The Fourth Master has entrusted all the accounts to me."
"He's really good at avoiding idleness. Knowing that you are serious and responsible, he pushes all the things onto you." Nan Chun complained.
"It's a good thing for partners to trust each other. Only when there is internal unity can there be good development," said Bai Xun.
"By the way, the Fourth Master's men came to report this afternoon that something happened in the Sheng family." Nanchun sat up and said.
Bai Xun took a coat and put it on him: "What happened?"
"Do you know the Jinshan Teahouse on Dafu Road?" Nanchun said.
Bai Xun thought for a moment and said, "I have some impression. I heard that the tea there is good and many celebrities go there to taste tea."
"A few days ago, someone died in Jinshan Teahouse. The police station took the body away and after the autopsy, they said that he died of an acute illness caused by an overdose of opium." Nanchun said.
Bai Xun frowned slightly, it was opium again.
"The deceased's family carried the coffin and ran to the entrance of Jinshan Teahouse to cause trouble. They were severely beaten by the teahouse owner, Wang, and his men. So the deceased's family ran to the entrance of Shenggongguan to cause trouble.
Oh, what a mess! The Sheng family was wronged. They just rented a house to Boss Wang. Now that someone is making trouble, the Sheng family must give an explanation no matter what. This investigation shows that it is indeed related to the Sheng family.
"It was said that the housekeeper surnamed Fu in the second master's courtyard of the Sheng family was the cousin of Mr. Wang, the owner of the Jinshan Teahouse. The two of them had been secretly selling opium in the teahouse. When their affair was exposed, they committed suicide out of fear of punishment. Sheng Zexi then carried the bodies of the two to the deceased's home and gave the family a thousand dollars in condolence money," Nanchun said.
Bai Xun thought to himself: That Butler Fu and Boss Wang must be scapegoats. How could they afford to open this teahouse and acquire such a large amount of opium? They are just small fry. The man behind this must be the Second Master of the Sheng family.
"Oh, right, Steward Fu said he was forced into a corner, and he even implicated a Yuncheng marble merchant named Ge, saying it was this man who forced him. The Fourth Master said he didn't believe Steward Fu and Boss Wang were responsible for such a big thing, and I think so too.
"I've met that Fu, the housekeeper. He doesn't look like someone capable of great things. And he's forcing... If you're not greedy, who could force you? Besides, this Fu is obedient to the Second Master of the Sheng family... Tsk, are the Sheng family in the opium business?" Nanchun said with disdain.
Bai Xun was slightly stunned. A jade merchant named Ge from Yuncheng?
My brother said before that he was doing jade business in Yuncheng, and it seemed that he was cooperating with a man named Ge.
"What are you thinking about? So absorbed?"
Seeing Nanchun staring at him, Bai Xun smiled unnaturally and said, "The Second Master of the Sheng family has always been a man who only seeks profit. It's not surprising that he's involved in the opium business."
"Oh, why are you both so greedy? With such a huge fortune, you can't eat or drink it all. Why do you have to take risks and do such harmful things?" Nanchun said with a bitter face.
Bai Xun gently scratched his nose and said, "Don't be so sad about other people's affairs. I asked someone to bring back some ham and told the chef to make it for you tomorrow."
Nan Chun smiled happily, put her arms around his neck and kissed him: "You are so nice."
It was late at night, and Bai Xun fell into deep thought as he listened to the steady breathing of the person in his arms.
Yangcheng, opium, Yuncheng, the jade merchant named Ge...
These keywords can be applied to the Sheng family and the Bai family as well.
I'm afraid I have to send someone to Yuncheng.
Cloud City.
Things in Xinchuanling were proceeding in an orderly manner. Bai Song sent someone to summon Bai Yufeng to Yuncheng.
Bai Yufeng told him in detail what Bai Xun had done in Xinchuanling.
Bo Song stroked the teacup in his hand and asked, "Are you saying that Xundi met that group of people in the mountains?"
"Yes, Ah Fu and Bai Hao said they were knocked unconscious and didn't see those people when they woke up." Bai Yufeng said.
"Then...did Xundi tell you to continue looking for Master Nan?"
Bai Yufeng shook his head: "I told him that it's unrealistic to keep looking like this, and he never mentioned it again."
Bai Song smiled and said, "You guys keep digging the tomb passage, and bring some people to keep an eye on that group. If they can keep an eye on us, why can't we? If they find a way out, wouldn't it be faster for us to rob them?"
"Yes." Bai Yufeng said.
"You are not needed to dig the tomb passage. You should lead people to monitor them. If Nan Chenglin is found, do everything you can to catch him. Don't make it public, don't tell Xundi and grandfather, and send the person directly to me." Bai Song said.
"Mr. Nan is still alive?" Bai Yufeng said in surprise.
"I wasn't sure before, but now I'm sure he's still alive." Bo Song said with a smile.
The group did not attack Xundi, probably because they were concerned that Nan Chenglin's grandson and daughter-in-law were in the hands of the Bai family.
Xundi must have known that Nan Chenglin was still alive.
Otherwise, how could he give up so easily when he is in power now?
This is especially true for Nanchun.
