Chapter 332 Guests

Two days later, news came back from the people sent by Zhou Dazhen.

The boss of Qingyunling was named Wang Shitou. When Boss Dong was twenty years old, he led a group of brothers to kill Wang Shitou and occupied Qingyunling. It has been twenty years since then.

The boss of Qingyunling is Boss Dong, the second boss's surname is Lu and his name is Lu Lin. Lu Lin is also a military advisor.

The third leader was a woman named Wang Zhaodi. Later, she turned against Boss Dong and became enemies. It is said that she had kidnapped Dong Xiaobai. After the failure, Wang Zhaodi's life and death were unknown, so she must have died.

Sixteen years ago, Boss Dong came back from outside and brought back a baby girl, which was Dong Wanqian.

A few years later, he brought back a baby boy from outside again, Dong Xiaobai.

Boss Dong once told his brother that both children are his seeds and their own flesh and blood.

The biological mother of the Dong family sibling is unknown. Some say it was a lady who was forcibly occupied by Boss Dong, and some say it was a fairy woman who was kept by Boss Dong. No one has seen this woman. She did not live in Qingyunling, and her two children were also raised by Boss Dong himself.

Time is limited, so there are not many messages coming back.

The head of Zhou Da did not hide it and passed it all to Li Qiniang.

Hearing this, Li Qiniang sighed: "It turns out that the two children were raised by the eldest brother himself, and they were in the bandits' den. It's not easy for the eldest brother, and it's not easy for two children."

Although Mr. Lu is a particular person, he is a man after all and is not careful enough. It would be fine if Dong Xiaobai is a boy. Dong Wanqian is obviously a girl, but he is like a rough man.

Li Qiniang once complained in her heart that the brother-in-law's biological mother sent her two children to such a faraway capital. It would be fine if she didn't come with her to take care of her, but why didn't she prepare a decent little dress for her daughter?

After the Dong family siblings lived in Qingping Lane, Li Qiniang would prepare a copy for her children every time she bought clothes, shoes and socks. After hearing this, Mr. Lu made a special thanks and left a silver note and asked Li Qiniang to help them buy it. Li Qiniang did not accept it, so Mr. Lu had to accept the silver note and instead gave it to the restaurant.

It would be fine if I didn't know it before, but now I learned that the Dong family siblings have never received the care of their mother since they were young, so others may not think anything about it, but those who have become mothers like Li Qiniang are the most unwilling to listen to these things.

In the afternoon, when Dong Xiaobai and Xiaoman came back from school, they ran to the kitchen like two little hungry wolves to find food. They were growing, so they always had food in the kitchen. In the past, these were made by Xia Erjie, but today they were made by Li Qiniang himself.

Dong Xiaobai's eyes lit up. Since he came to Beijing, he hadn't eaten the door-drawn meat patty. The smell of Lao Pingcheng and his saliva were about to flow out.

In the evening, Dong Wanqian came back. As soon as she entered the door, she proudly told Yan Xuehuai that she had a quarrel with Lu Jingxue again, but this time, she won.

Yan Xuehuai looked at her and asked, "Have you started?"

"Hey, how did you know?" Dong Wanqian was surprised.

Yan Xuehuai rolled her eyelids and said that she was talking, could you be Lu Jinxing's opponent?

Yan Xuehuai pointed to a pile of things next to her: "I went shopping with my aunt and my mother today, this is for you."

Dong Wanqian said with a wow sound, there were hairpins, head flowers, rouge and water powder, two bottles of flower dew, one bottle of roses, and one bottle of jasmine. In addition, there were two very exquisite dresses.

Although Boss Dong's identity has not been confirmed, Li Qiniang has already regarded the Dong family's siblings as her nephews and nieces. She also wants to prepare a copy for Yan Xuehuai and Xiaoman.

Qingyun Ridge is far north, more than 3,000 miles away from the capital. Boss Dong’s true identity is still unsure for a while.

However, Chai Yan investigated Chanjuan's guests and found clues.

Chanjuan is just a secret partner, and her customers are all passed down from word of mouth and introduced by acquaintances.

These people are all small people, and there are countless small people like this in the capital.

According to the visit and investigation, three of Chanjuan’s guests had special identities.

Wen Jia, forty-five years old, was a rice shop owner and a wealthy family. Wen Jia's son Wen Dalang, was 28 years old, and served as a minister in the Ministry of War Department, and was a ninth rank.

Wang Yi, 36 years old, was a butcher, fierce and domineering person. He hired five gangsters in the butcher shop, all of whom were gangsters on the street. In addition to being a butcher, he also collected debts from others. A month ago, Wang Yi took people to the home of Ding Fei, deputy ambassador of the Ministry of Revenue Guangjiku. Ding Fei's son Ding Dalang was gambled and owed a lot of money. After that, Wang Yi never went to the Ding family again for a whole month. According to the news from the casino, the money owed by Ding Dalang was not paid back. It was Wang Yi's guarantee that he gave the Ding family three months of grace.

Yu Bing was 62 years old. His wife died early and had no son. He was the housekeeper of Sun's house of the Ministry of War. Yu Bing had been in the Sun's family for more than 40 years and was very trusted by Sun's house. Although Yu Bing had another house outside, he was alone and had lived in Sun's house for many years.

However, in the past three months, Yu Bing has frequently left the mansion. Every time he goes out, he will come to Shiguoxiang to find Chanjuan and be generous. According to the pharmacy shop he often goes to, Yu Bing has bought tonics several times. For this reason, the doctor in the pharmacy shop has advised Yu Bing to not take these medicines all the time as they are not good for their health when they are old.

Wen Jia, Wang Yi and Yu B are the most suspicious of Chanjuan's guests.

Chai Yan immediately went into the palace to see the prince. He heard that he was investigating the crime in detail. The prince waved his hand and gave him a hand order.

Chai Yan took the handwriting and went to the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Revenue one after another.

The next day, Ding Fei, deputy ambassador of the Ministry of Revenue Guangjiku, was temporarily called to the superior yamen for help. There was no way. The end of the year was approaching, and there were too many things in the yamen and there was not enough staff, so he had to transfer people from below to help.

This kind of thing happens every year, so Ding Fei naturally has no doubts.

Just after Ding Fei left, Chai Yan and the Minister of Revenue went to Guangjiku, and Guangjiku began to reconcile the accounts of the warehouse.

All this was carried out in secret, and Ding Fei was in the superior yamen. He didn't go home for three days, nor did he meet the people from Guangjiku.

Three days later, the reconciliation of Guangjiku was completed, and twenty kilograms of sulfur and thirty kilograms of saltpeter were missing!

Ding Fei never returned to Guangjiku. According to his confession, Ding Dalang owed too much debt, so Ding Fei broke up the east wall to repair the west wall, and borrowed all the money he could, but he still couldn't make up enough money to repay Ding Dalang's debt.

Wang Yi brought people to the door to threaten and asked someone to arrest Ding Dalang. Ding Fei had no choice. According to Wang Yi's request, he stole the sulfur and saltpeter from Guangjikuai ten times, and only stole five kilograms at a time, which was not large. Therefore, even the other ambassador who worked with Ding Fei did not notice it.

As for what Wang Yi wants these sulfur and saltpeter to do, Ding Fei once asked him to stop talking nonsense, otherwise it would take his whole family's life.
Chapter completed!
