Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 2283 Getting rich

"The place where I lived when I was a child?" Shen Cha thought for a moment, looked at Shen Haolin, and then looked at Xue Ruitian, "Why are they looking for the place where I lived when I was a child?"

"That's unknown." Xue Ruitian shrugged. "The waiters at the inn are all young and have never seen those two people, so they don't know. I heard that they asked the innkeeper, and the innkeeper said that the two people had not been here for many years, and the place where they used to live was razed to the ground and rebuilt a long time ago. Now this place belongs to the Duke's Mansion."

"They didn't ask any more questions?"

"According to the innkeepers and waiters, they didn't ask any further questions, but they probably haven't been there. If they had been there, we would have known about it."

"Although it belongs to the Duke's Mansion, there are many shops rented out around it. If they want to get close, we won't be able to get any information unless there is something unusual. Except for the place where I lived when I was a child, which is watched by my brothers, other places are really free to enter and exit. However, they want to find this place, could it be..."

When Shen Cha said this, she paused for a long time. She looked at Shen Haolin, a little unsure of her thoughts. If that was really the case, they might get an unexpected fortune.

"Could it be something?" Xue Ruitian looked at Shen Haolin, then at Shen Cha, "Why don't you continue? Have you thought of something?"

"I'm not sure, and I can't say for sure, because I don't have any impression of this." Shen Cha held Shen Haolin's hand, "They won't really..." She blinked, with a look of disbelief, "Really stay here?"

"Looking at how confident these people are, there's a good chance our previous guess was correct."

"But it doesn't make sense!" Shen Cha leaned on Shen Haolin's shoulder and carefully recalled what happened when he was a child. "I have never seen them hide anything. After I brought Jiu'er back home, I heard that my brother also went to see it, and naturally knew that nothing can be hidden there. Of course, it's not completely impossible to hide, unless they dig up the ground and bury the things underground. But... If that happens, the noise will be loud, and I will hear it. Besides, it's impossible for them to do such hard work by themselves, so they must let me do it."

"Perhaps you had returned with the wine while they were hiding."

"That's true." Shen Cha nodded, but quickly denied this statement, "No, that's not right. The house there has been renovated, and the foundation and other things have been rebuilt. It is necessary to break up the ground. If they were buried underground, they must have been discovered at that time." She looked at Shen Haolin, "Are the things collected from there still in the warehouse?"

"Yes, they are all in the small warehouse at the back. You didn't want to look at them before, and told me to dispose of them as I pleased. I thought that if you can untie the knot in the future, you might be willing to look at them, so I didn't take the initiative to throw them away for you. If you need to, you can go and take a look."

"Well, we should go and take a look. Maybe we can find something." Shen Cha thought for a while. "It's not too late yet, brother, how about we go for a walk later?"

"As long as you don't feel tired." Xue Ruitian couldn't bear to listen any longer, so he coughed twice and knocked on the table.

"Haolin, Xiaocha, I'm still here, don't worry about me!" Seeing Shen Cha smiling at him apologetically, he made a face and said unhappily, "Tell me, what is your little secret?"

"What are you talking about, brother Xiaotian? How can this be considered a little secret?" Shen Cha thought for a moment and told Shen Haolin all her previous guesses. "I'm not sure if they didn't take the silver away, or if they took something back and didn't let us see it. But now the caravan is looking for their former residence, which makes me sure that they either took the silver or something they shouldn't have taken and hid it in their former residence. Now Master Falian's several ways of making money are cut off, and he is in urgent need of silver. I guess he suddenly remembered something, but he's not sure if it's really here, so he took the opportunity of doing business and covering the killer to send people to investigate. If there is, it would be the best. His people can take the things or silver away, which can alleviate some of his uneasiness. If not, he will think of other ways to get the silver. He sent people to kill Boss Luan, probably to force him to ask how many money-making businesses Boss Luan has in his hands."

"You mean," Xue Ruitian thought for a moment, "Boss Luan did something for himself behind his back?"

"That must be the case!" Shen Cha chuckled. "The Luan and Liu families have been doing business for so many years. Could it be that they just want to be the shopkeepers? Without leaving any way out for themselves? That is absolutely impossible. Both families have followed Master Falian for many years. They have watched how Master Falian dealt with those useless subordinates. Even the powerful Empress Dowager was not spared. Don't they have any other ideas in their minds?"

"That's true." Xue Ruitian nodded. "We searched their house before and found much more things than we expected." He sighed softly. "It seems that they have made a lot of plans for themselves." He looked at Shen Cha. "Do you want to go to the place where they used to live and see if you can find anything?"

"Let's see, what if?" Shen Cha said cheerfully, "This time I really have to thank Master Falian. If he hadn't sent someone here to do this, I would have completely forgotten about this. If we can really find what they left behind, we'll be rich!"

"Little money-grubber!" Shen Haolin tapped Shen Cha's forehead gently and said, "If you want to go, don't stay here. Let's pack up and go take a look together?"

"Okay!" Shen Cha nodded and looked at Xue Ruitian who had already stood up. "Brother Xiaotian, do you want to go with us?"

"I won't go. I still have to watch those masters for appraisal. You guys go by yourselves!" Xue Ruitian yawned. "Go to the kitchen before you go out. The medicine is already boiled. Remember to drink it before you leave."

"By the way, have you gone to see Little Leaf?"

"I checked. She has taken the medicine and is asleep." Xue Ruitian stretched lazily. "I have to say, my uncle is my uncle. He can tell whether the patient is good or not as soon as he takes action. After changing the prescription, she seems to be getting better."

"That's good. If she can get through this difficult time safely, we can rest assured." Shen Cha slowly left Shen Haolin's arms. "Then let's pack up and get ready to go out!"
