Chapter 447 Identity

Youranju is a time-honored brand in the capital. Yan Xuehuai has passed by Youranju countless times. The place where Cui Jiao saw Yan Jingxiu was Youranju.

Pearl quickly told the news he found: "Youranju's former head of the family, Liu, was the fourth generation. The Liu family is a small wealthy family. There is a farm left by their ancestors in the countryside. There is no shortage of money. The Liu family has two children, the daughter is born in the legitimate family and the son is born in illegitimate family. One is seven or eight years old, and the other is just over one year old. They are all not as old as a relative. They have never heard of the Liu family. The Liu family only likes poetry, calligraphy, calligraphy and painting, and does not gamble or prostitute. However, at the end of last year, the Liu family suddenly sold the shop and hurried out of the capital. When they went to the yamen to handle road guides, they only said that they were going to join their relatives."

Yan Xuehuai frowned slightly, with a wealthy family, stable business, young children, and no bad hobbies. Such a person suddenly sold his ancestral property and left the capital again. Eight out of ten, ninety-one of them were afraid.

"Continue to talk." Yan Xuehuai said.

Pearl continued: "There is a breasted brother from the Liu Dong family who married Lao Wu, the head of the Beijing government office, as his wife. I found this breasted brother. According to him, once, the Liu Dong family came to find him and said that his wife and daughter were kidnapped on the way out of the city to burn incense. He was worried about his daughter's reputation and did not dare to report to the official. He wanted to ask Lao Wu to go privately through his relationship with the breasted brother. After all, Lao Wu has been a teacher for many years and has known many people. The Liu Dong family is willing to pay a bonus of 1,000 taels.

After hearing this, the breast brother went to his father-in-law's house. Old Wu agreed immediately. The breast brother went to report to Liu Dong's family and asked him to prepare a portrait of his wife and daughter and money. However, the Liu Dong's family changed his mind and told him not to investigate again, saying that he might know what was going on.

Within two days, the Liu Dong family came to say goodbye to him, saying that they would leave the capital with their wives, concubines and children. When asked where he was going, he said that he would go to Anhui to join his uncle's family.

My brother grew up with the Liu Dong family since childhood. With his familiarity with the Liu Dong family, the Liu Dong family must have been intimidated at that time. The Liu Dong family is a bit stubborn as a scholar, but he is also timid and afraid of things."

Yan Xuehuai nodded. She almost knew what was going on.

The Liu Dong family did not want to sell their ancestral property, so his wife and daughter were kidnapped. He had to submit and sell Youranju obediently. During this period, he must have been intimidated, so that he did not even dare to stay in the capital.

"Let's talk about that new owner." Yan Xuehuai said.

"The new owner's surname is Shi, and his name is Shiting. The household registration says that he introduced him to Beijing by the road from Sun County last fall. After he established Youran's residence in the capital, he entered the Beijing household registration. His ancestral home registered in the yamen is also Sun County." said Zhenzhu.

The Great Wei Dynasty had a relatively complete household registration system. Ordinary people settled in the capital, either with documents issued by relatives and friends, or with permanent property in the capital, or with shops, or a house. Otherwise, they were foreigners living here. The annual labor service was responsible for the labor service of each family. When the labor service was being distributed, the first thing that came to mind was that there were no foreigners who had officially settled. The number of foreigners was not enough to recruit local people. Therefore, most of the people who worked in the capital were not qualified, and there were many scholars who had not yet obtained fame and honor, and they were exhausted to death during labor service.

Yan Xuehuai had heard of Sun County, and she asked, "Is Sun County very close to Pingcheng?"

Zhenzhu replied: "It's not very close, it's more than 400 miles away from Pingcheng. He used to be the second shopkeeper of the medicine shop on Huichang Street, who was from Sun County."

Yan Xue was well aware of her. She remembered that she had heard from the son of the second shopkeeper’s house talk about Sun County.

Pearl said again: "Although Sun County is not far from Pingcheng, the place is very chaotic. It is said that the escort bureau would rather go around the distance than go to Sun County. There were many robberies in that place. Later, when Sun County was moved, it was not affected by the war, but it was very lively. The thieves took the opportunity to enter the county town, burned, killed, looted, and killed many people. Until the Duke of the State arrived in Pingcheng, he sent troops to quell the rebellion. The most violent riots in the north were Sun County and several places near Sun County."

Yan Xuehuai narrowed his eyes and said, "The people are in chaos." They do a lot of things while they are in chaos. The more people die, the more difficult it is for the yamen to count the detailed statistics of Dingkou.

"Is Shiting from Sun County?" Yan Xuehuai smiled. She remembered Xiaoman's identity and origin. It was done by Qi Wei. In a village where a large-scale fight occurred during the war, there were fires, burned, beaten, and escaped. In short, those who survived that village only remembered that there was a family in this village, and that family was burned to death. As for the family's children, I'm sorry, I don't remember them for a long time.

With Xiaoman's life experience as a reference and looking at Shi Ting's life experience, Yan Xuehuai felt that he had learned another trick.

Needless to ask, all the people involved in Shiting’s past must have died.

"Well, there is no need to mention Shi Ting's life experience, just talk about what's happening now." Yan Xuehuai said.

"Shiting lives in Youranju. No one in the neighborhood knows him. He doesn't usually go out. All the business in the store is handed over to the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper is a local from Beijing, with a surname named Qu, and he is also famous in this industry. Therefore, the business in the shop has always been good.

Manager Qu also serves as the butler. The one who goes to Uncle Cui Jiao’s shop is Manager Qu.

Not long ago, a female family came to Shiting's house and then she wanted to buy furniture. The reason why she knew that the female family was because in addition to furniture, she also bought bedding and tent door curtains. These things were bought in an embroidery workshop on West Street. The patterns and styles were obviously used by female family members. The person who went to order the goods was also the shopkeeper Qu."

After saying that, Zhenzhu said to Yan Xuehuai: "Young boss, do you want me to climb over the wall to check it out at night?"

Yan Xuehuai also had this intention. Shi Ting didn't go out normally. If he wanted to determine whether he was Yan Jingxiu, he had to climb over the wall and go in.

She thought for a while and said, "Yan Jingxiu is a very cautious person. Cui Jiao saw him that day. Although he didn't know Cui Jiao, if he found out that he was targeted, the first thing he would think of was Cui Jiao. I think it would be better to ask Cui Jiao not to go to his uncle's place for the time being."

Pearl nodded and said, "That kid can't keep things in his heart. I'm worried that he will show off his power and tell others about this. The young master is right, so let him move it out."

Yan Xuehuai said, "Think about how to talk to his uncle."

This matter soon came to the following story. Yan Xuehuai originally thought that it was time to buy some houses in Qingping Lane, so he hired a few carpenters from Uncle Cui Jiao to come to Qingping Lane to get the houses in Qingping Lane. Cui Jiao as a supervisor can live in Qingping Lane.
