Chapter 213 Complicated Relationships

"Okay, young master Shi just wait a while, let me see if you have any wounds on your body." Meng Qianyan groped from top to bottom.

When he touched the position between Shi Hongyi's back and waist, he saw Shi Hongyi grinning in pain.

Without any explanation, he tore off Shi Hongyi's clothes, exposing the skin on his back. Sure enough, it was a knife that hadn't healed yet.

Luo Ziyan glanced down, pulled Meng Qianyan away, and used his body to block Meng Qianyan's sight.Then he said to Shi Hongyi: "Master Shi, do you have anything else to say?"

"I... I was injured, but what does that mean? I didn't destroy Wei Luo's fabric. Because if you think about it, it won't do me any good if I destroy Wei Luo."

"Then why did you get hurt? You ran to Weiluo Tailor, alone, in the middle of the night, what did you do?"

"I haven't been there!" Shi Hong also denied.

Seeing him like this, Luo Ziyan suddenly laughed, "Still struggling, Shi Hongyi, then do you remember the night when Wei Luo almost caught someone, where were you?"

"I'm with..." Shi Hongyi stopped as soon as he said it.

"Hmph, Shi Hongyi, look, you can't even weave a lie. If you didn't do anything and didn't know anything, how would you know that Wei Luo almost caught someone one day?"

As soon as these words came out, Shi Hong also paused, he couldn't find any reason to prevaricate.

"Say it, Young Master Shi." Meng Qianyan couldn't help opening his mouth, "If you don't say it, or else, we'll ask Master Shi to come back and say it in front of Master Shi..."

"You, don't drag my parents in." Shi Hongyi turned cold, "Yes, I went to the tailor shop, I stole Luo Ziming's key, but I didn't do anything, I just went to the warehouse Just looked at it."

"It's inexplicable, it's so good, you stole the key just to see it, do you think we will believe it." Meng Qianyan was almost amused.

"That's how things are. Believe it or not. If you can produce evidence, I can plead guilty at any time. But if you can't, please leave."

Luo Ziyan was silent for a moment, then nodded, "Okay, let's go first, Shi Hongyi, take care of yourself. Because maybe one day, you will plead guilty. We will not give up and continue the investigation of this case."

After speaking, Luo Ziyan took Meng Qianyan's hand, opened the door and walked out.

When they came out, Shi Hongyi seemed to be discouraged all of a sudden, almost collapsing to the ground.

Coming out of Shi's house, Luo Ziyan's mouth was dry, so he found a teahouse and ordered two bowls of tea.

While drinking, he thought about Shi Hongyi's attitude just now.

No matter from his attitude or from the wounds on his body, they can be sure that the person who was not caught that night was undoubtedly Shi Hongyi.

However, the members of the Shi family didn't seem to know about it, and Shi Hong also had no grudges with the Luo family in the past, so why would he do such a thing to harm them?
Luo Ziyan couldn't figure it out, Meng Qianyan was helpless.

"Ziyan, tell me, even Shi Hongyi, what is he planning?"

Luo Ziyan narrowed his eyes, "Perhaps, the person who really wants to harm us is not him, he is just ordered by others."

"The so-called others..." Meng Qianyan thought for a while, "Could it be Xu Jiaqiao?"

"Xu Jiaqiao, she might not have the guts, does she?"

"Then why don't we do this?" Meng Qianyan said in a low voice, "If Shi Hong is also ordered by others, judging from the attitude of the Shi family, he must not be from the Shi family. Why don't we follow him?" Look at Shi Hongyi and see who he is getting close to."

"Alright, you're right."

The two drank tea, paid the silver and went back to the inn.

This time, they changed into the clothes of ordinary people and waited near Shi's house.

It was getting darker and colder, the teahouses closed their stalls, and there were fewer and fewer pedestrians on the street.

But the two of them, husband and wife, have been waiting.

Finally, in the middle of the night, the door of Shi's house was opened, and it was Shi Hongyi who walked out from inside.

He looked around and after making sure there was no one there, he relieved himself and quickened his pace.

Shi Hong also walked in front, and Luo Ziyan followed behind, just like this all the way.

Shi Hongyi finally stopped. After looking around, he knocked on the back door of a house.

He went in and didn't come out for a long time.

Meng Qianyan really wanted to go in and have a look, but Luo Ziyan told her that this is the capital city, so don't mess around here, if you are found out, you will startle the snake.

So the two walked around from the back door to the front door, and they saw the plaque on the lintel of the front door—Wen Mansion.

"Where is Wen Mansion?"

"It should be the mansion of a court official. But I don't know which Wen mansion this is."

"Then let's go back and ask Mr. Meng."

"Okay, let's go back to eat first, and then tomorrow morning, I will ask Mr. Meng."

After working hard all day, I returned to the inn, ate and fell asleep.

The next morning, Luo Ziyan found Yijia Bookstore early in the morning.

Before Yi Jia Shuyuan had morning class, Mr. Meng first discussed with Luo Ziyan.

"Are you sure it's the Wen family?" Mr. Meng reconfirmed.

"Yes, my wife and I saw it with our own eyes."

"Then I know, this Wen family should be Wen Jing's mansion."

"Wen Jing..."

"Well, Wen Jing is a small civil servant in the capital city. His ancestors were merchants, so this person was able to become an official and suffered a lot. I have heard about it. Although this Wen Jing is a small civil servant, but, He is a member of Mo Yan, the fifteenth prince. In the past few years, Mo Yan's momentum has been very stable, and he has surpassed other princes. Many people in the court can see his ambition. He is staring at the crown prince. As for the location, so this Wen Jing looks like a small official, but behind him is the great backer Mo Yan, the fifteenth prince."

Hearing this, Luo Ziyan didn't understand, "Could it be that Wen Jing is harming us, or that the fifteenth prince will harm us again? We are just businessmen, and we have never offended them."

"Perhaps, their goal is not your Luo family, but hurting innocent people like you in the struggle." Mr. Meng said again.

With such an explanation, Luo Ziyan suddenly became enlightened. The people and things in the court were complicated and the struggle was fierce. Maybe it was Boss Lin who Wen Jing was going to deal with?
At this moment, Mr. Meng seemed to think of something again, "By the way, there is another level. I wonder if you understand it?"

"What is it, Mr. Meng, please tell me."

"I also inquired in the past few days, did the young master of your Luo family marry a girl Xu from the capital?"

"Yes."

"That's right. This Wen Jing and that Miss Xu are close relatives, and Wen Jing's mother is Miss Xu's real aunt."
