Chapter 193 I saw them talking
The conversation between Su Jizhi and the man lasted for half an hour.

Wan Yan was recording next to her, but there was a calculation in her heart.

Judging from the clues provided by the man, Wu Fushan and Qi Wancai couldn't match each other, and the man couldn't tell how Huangshang Wu's boss got mixed up with Qi Wancai, who had a very bad character.

It seems that Wu Fushan is still recommending Qi Wancai to work in the mine.

"Qi Wancai is 35 years old and hasn't married yet, so he just wanders around the mine?" Su Jizhi asked.

"I don't know him well. Anyway, he has a bad reputation. If he has money, he either gambles or goes to Goulanyuan. Everyone knows where it is."

"He has a bad reputation in the mine, and everyone will definitely not get close to him, so Qi Wancai hasn't worked in the past two days, and no one pays attention?" Su Jizhi analyzed.

The man nodded, "He's always been like that. He comes and goes as he pleases. I was with him in the mine, so I found out that Qi Wancai didn't come. I even asked the foreman. The foreman said don't worry about it, and it's useless."

"Has this happened before? Qi Wancai didn't return home at night?"

"There are too many. He relies on Boss Wu and doesn't pay attention to the rules at all. He is very casual."

"Qi Wancai often goes to Goulan Courtyard?"

"Well, except for gambling, that person is good at it, and he didn't have a family. At first, everyone thought it was normal, but later found that he was very dirty."

"Oh? Where did you say that?"

"There are all men in the mine, and he speaks foul language and is very obscene. After a long time, everyone doesn't like to be with him."

"Apart from Qi Wancai's women, is there anything else that everyone should talk about?"

In order not to cause unnecessary discussions, Su Jizhi cryptically raised questions.

The man shook his head positively, "Gambling, every bet is bound to lose. Qi Wancai occasionally borrows money, but he can repay it soon. I don't know where the money came from."

Su Jizhi nodded, Nie Fang had already gone to the mine to investigate, presumably there would not be much discrepancy with the man's confession.

So far, Su Jizhi has confirmed that there is some inhuman connection between Wu Fushan and Qi Wancai.

As long as there is a little bit of trouble, it will definitely spread quickly among the men in the mine.

As for the state of Wu Fushan and Qi Wancai when they died, it was an illusion that Su Jizhi was more determined.

In the afternoon, Miao Hong returned, followed by two people behind him.

She knew a person, Fu Bo, the steward of the Censor's Chief Historian.

Seeing another young man, Wan Yan froze on the spot.

This is exactly the thief who stole the Buddhist hall in Yushitai's mansion that she drew yesterday.

Uncle Fu smiled and sighed, "Wan Yan's painter is first-class, my master is full of praise, and has already praised the girl in front of the emperor."

Uncle Fu pointed his hand and lowered his face, "When the portrait was brought to the mansion, people immediately recognized him as the son of the old cook in the mansion."

Fu Bo said, hating iron for being weak, raised his hand, and hit the young man on the head sideways.

Seeing this posture, Su Jizhi smiled slightly, "So it's an acquaintance who committed the crime?"

Wan Yan looked at the young man, about twenty years old, hiding behind Uncle Fu, with his head bowed all the time.

"Blame my old eyesight, why didn't I recognize you that night?" Uncle Fu raised his hand, and wanted to teach the young man a lesson, but he held back after thinking about it, "What's wrong with learning, stealing like others is really a crime."

Uncle Fu turned his head and explained to Wan Yan, "His father has been working in the mansion. He left some years ago. He left the capital with his uncle for many years. This time he came back secretly, and I didn't even know."

The old man sighed, "His father didn't come early, if I knew he was back in the capital, I would never let him behave like this."

The young man was unconvinced, and muttered in a low voice, "I just ate something and took the rest back. Why are you still angry?"

"You...I'm angry? I watched you grow up, how could you do such a sneaky thing? It's also because you grew up, why didn't I recognize you?" Uncle Fu blamed himself.

The young man was wronged, bit his lip and did not speak.

Uncle Fu forced a smile at Su Jizhi, "Master Su, this kid doesn't learn well, but he has nothing to lose. The old cook has worked in the mansion for so many years, and the master doesn't want to pursue it."

Su Jizhi nodded, "This is Lord Yushi's housework. Since Lord Yushi doesn't pursue it, I don't have any demands."

Uncle Fu nodded, "Thanks to Miss Wanyan this time, when we found this kid, he was still sleeping soundly at home, and he was also a big-hearted person. Fortunately, he didn't continue to make mistakes, and the master thought the same way. Give him a chance."

Wan Yan looked at the young man with a smile, and carefully searched for the discrepancy between the portrait and the real person.

Uncle Fu was about to leave, and taught the young man a lesson, "Okay, thank you sir, let's go back to the house, you are lucky, the master will not pursue it, and be a good person when you go back, and don't make mistakes again."

The young man was dissatisfied, "I'm not lucky, nothing happened, and someone hurt my hand. If I had known that I would meet a evil star when I went out, I wouldn't go to the Buddhist hall to have this experience."

Wan Yan saw a long wound on the back of the young man's upper hand.

Uncle Fu was choked, thought for a long time but didn't say anything, and said sternly that he deserved it.

When the two walked out of Dali Temple side by side, Wan Yan heard Uncle Fu ask the young man in a low voice, "What's the matter? You were injured when you jumped over the fence?"

"Well, I don't know why, why didn't I know that Yuyuantang has a back door, two people standing in the dark alley, they were startled, and I was also startled."

Yuyuantang?
alley?

Wan Yan and Su Jizhi pricked up their ears at the same time.

"Stop!" Su Jizhi walked up to the young man in a few steps, and the young man took a step back in fright, "Master Su... Your Excellency..."

"What did you say?"

Uncle Fu was also taken aback, "Lord Su, what's the matter?"

Su Jizhi pointed at the young man, "What do you mean by what you just said in detail? Chang Shi's residence is next to Yuyuantang? Yuyuantang, a famous jade workshop in the capital?"

Uncle Fu nodded, "The backyard of the mansion is facing the back alley of Yuyuantang. It's not on the same street, it's just next door."

The windfall made Wan Yan's heart pound.

"Can you repeat what you just said?" Su Jizhi ordered the young man with a cold face.

"I... just went over the wall and saw two people. They were shocked when they saw me. One of them drew a short knife from his arms and stabbed me directly. I didn't dodge and was stabbed. Fortunately, the other person Hold on, and I will run away."

"Who are those two?"

"I've met a person. It seems to be the jade craftsman from Yuyuantang. He likes to go to the tavern on the street for a drink or two. I know him."

"What about the other person?"

"It seems to be a woman, tall and tall, she knows a little bit of kung fu, and she seems to be pretty, but her heart is too cruel, and she stabbed me with a knife. If the old jade craftsman didn't stop me, I would die in the alley."

Uncle Fu seems to be very familiar with the young man. Hearing this, he looked at the back of the young man's hand with concern, "I said it all, if you don't learn well, you will learn a lesson this time. Which good boy can climb over the wall?"

The young man raised his head halfway, and said in disbelief, "I know, neither the master nor my mother blamed me so much. I was wrong, and I will know later."

Uncle Fu sighed, "Your father didn't come early, can I teach you a lesson for him?"

The young man's eyes were red, and he stopped talking back.

"Did you see or hear what they were saying?" Su Jizhi interrupted them and asked.

"I didn't hear anything, but I could feel that the two of them were very excited. My sudden appearance scared them. Before they met me, they should have been arguing about something, otherwise the woman wouldn't be able to draw the knife."

Su Jizhi lowered his face, turned to Wan Yan and said, "Jiang Zhang lied to us."
