The lucky girl in the village has a good way of making money.

Chapter 458 Strange
"Girl, you're here!"

Shopkeeper Wu hurried forward to greet them and moved the pomegranates to the backyard.

There were guests coming in and out of the front hall, and there were many children playing in the playroom upstairs, so it was not convenient to talk.

After entering the backyard, the people who were doing carpentry work in the back saw Shi Liu coming and hurriedly greeted him.

Shi Liu first asked about their recent situation one by one, whether they were eating well, living well, and whether there were any inconveniences in life. When everyone said it was good, she nodded and asked everyone to take care of their health. Although work is important, health is equally important.

The boss was kind and cared so much about his employees that the carpenters felt very warm in their hearts and their hands became more skillful.

Shi Liu looked at the carpenters before going into the rest room with Shopkeeper Wu.

"What's going on? How did Mr. Fan get involved in a murder case? Has the letter I asked Zhao Wang to bring back been delivered to the Liu Mansion?" Shi Liu asked as soon as he sat down.

Shopkeeper Wu personally poured hot tea for Shi Liu, and then replied: "I wanted to ask Zhao Wang to run another trip to deliver the letter, but the boy caught a cold on the way and is still lying down. I thought the girl would probably reach the capital soon, so I didn't ask anyone to deliver the letter.

It's like this. My brother-in-law was released on the spot on the afternoon of the day I asked Wu Gui to deliver the letter. I heard that his classmates helped to find clues and proved his innocence. The witness Hong Wazi was threatened and deliberately lied to frame my brother-in-law. Now the whole city is looking for this person!

As for the letter that the young lady asked me to deliver, since the son-in-law has been released without any problem, I didn’t ask the Liu family to deliver it. But I heard that Liu Dongjia went to the government office the day after the son-in-law was put in jail.”

Hearing that Fan Jin had been released, Shi Liu's anxious heart finally relaxed.

I hope everything is alright.

But from the sound of it, it seems that Fan Jin must have offended someone and was deliberately targeted?

This time, thanks to classmates who found clues, he was cleared of suspicion. But what about next time? What methods will that person use?
It's hard to guard against it, we still have to find this person out -

However, Fan Jin was currently attending classes at the government school, so she thought of going to Guihua Lane to see Fan Jin in the afternoon.

Knowing that Zhao Wang had caught a cold, Shi Liu couldn't help but ask, "Is Zhao Wang sick? Has he seen a doctor?"

Shopkeeper Wu nodded, "I've seen him, and he's been taking medicine for two days, but he hasn't gotten better. But don't worry, young lady, he's been taking the medicine. I've got someone watching him. Tell him to rest for a few more days, and he'll probably be better."

As the weather gets colder, more people catch colds, which is normal.

Shi Liu nodded, "Let him recover first. The medicine will be paid from the counter, and his wages will be calculated as well. Don't tell him to worry."

Shopkeeper Wu said hurriedly, "Miss, you are so kind. I will thank you on behalf of this boy. When he recovers, I will ask him to kowtow to you."

Knowing that Fan Jin was fine, Shi Liu was no longer in a hurry. She left Tongwanzhai and went to Liu Mansion first.

Although the letter was not sent to Liu Dongjia, he took the initiative to help her out of respect. It was reasonable for her to thank Liu Dongjia in person.

Mr. Liu happened to be in the mansion. When he heard that she had arrived, he quickly invited her into the study to talk.

Pomegranate expressed his gratitude first.

Liu Dongjia waved his hand and said, "It's just a small favor. Since you call me uncle, based on our relationship, whether it's your family or your fiancé, if there's anything wrong, shouldn't I help? Besides, I didn't help much in this matter. I just informed the prefect Cheng and asked him to help take care of it. Before I could do that, your fiancé was cleared of suspicion and released."

After saying this, Liu Dongjia frowned and said, "I also asked Liu Quan to listen to this case. The person who secretly threatened Hong Wazi to lie was obviously targeting Fan Xiucai on purpose. You still have to warn Fan Xiucai about this matter and let him be careful."

"And the deceased Miss Wang, I also find this matter a bit strange." "Uncle Liu, thank you for your concern." Shi Liu nodded and thanked him.

I couldn't help but ask: "Uncle Liu, what do you think is so strange?"

Liu Dongjia said, "That Miss Wang is the illegitimate daughter of the third branch of the Wang family in Xinglinfang. I heard that she was born to a girl that Master Wang San redeemed from a brothel. That girl died during childbirth, and Miss Wang was raised by a wet nurse in the mansion. Madam Wang San gave birth to two sons and three daughters herself. How much importance could she place on a illegitimate daughter born to a brothel girl? This time, she actually stepped forward to beat the drum and appeal for justice for this illegitimate girl - it really makes people feel strange."

He was born in such a large and complicated family, so he knew how weak family ties were and how terrifying human hearts were.

He didn't believe that Mrs. Wang San really loved this concubine's daughter.

Moreover, he had asked his wife yesterday, and she had never heard of this Miss Wang before. She must have been kept at home all the time and had never been brought out to attend any party or banquet.

Shi Liu's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. "Wang family from Xinglinfang?"

Liu Dongjia looked at her, "Yes, by the way, you asked me to help you find out about this Wang family before-"

Shi Liu rubbed his wrists subconsciously, with some guesses in his mind, but he was not sure.

He didn't say much at the moment, only saying, "I asked about the Wang family before because I met Doctor Wang on my way to the south. I never thought that he was from the Wang family in Xinglinfang."

Liu Dongjia laughed, "This Doctor Wang has become very famous in the city recently. His acupuncture skills are amazing. Even my old man invited him to come to our house. After two acupuncture treatments, his old cold legs are much better!"

"Doctor Wang's medical skills are truly impeccable." Shi Liu agreed.

The two of them had a long conversation about Doctor Wang. After Mr. Liu mentioned that there was something strange about Mrs. Wang San, he changed the subject and talked about another important matter.

"It's not appropriate to keep the remaining treasure there. I thought it would be better to ask Weifeng Express to deliver the goods this time. It would also give Weifeng Express one more order and help it accumulate more experience. What do you think?"

Shi Liu hurriedly said: "Uncle Liu, this matter is not urgent—"

Then he described the rebels' actions in recent days one by one.

"They are staring at me, so they can naturally guess that I am working with you, Uncle Liu. I think they think that we have already unearthed all the treasures. If we let the Weifeng Express deliver the goods with great fanfare, it will inevitably attract attention. It is better to leave the remaining treasures there for the time being and wait until this storm is over before making any plans -"

When Liu Dongjia heard that the rebels had failed to assassinate Shi Liu and kidnapped Shi Liu's sister for ransom, he was also shocked. "The rebels hate you to the core. Shi Liu, you must be careful. You must also be on guard against your family."

Shi Liu nodded, "I just want to ask Uncle Liu for a favor. You must have connections. Can you introduce me to some martial arts masters?"

Liu Dongjia said: "You should hire more experts to protect you. Leave this matter to me. I will give you good news as soon as possible!"

"Then I would like to thank Uncle Liu first."

After finishing what needed to be said, Shi Liu said goodbye.

Seeing that it was almost noon, Liu Dongjia wanted to keep her for dinner. "Your aunt has already asked the kitchen to prepare lunch. Stay and eat before leaving. She hasn't seen you for a long time."

Since it was hard for Shi Liu to refuse, she readily agreed.
