Qin Shu once asked Nanny Chun to smuggle out a land deed and asked Chen Cheng to go to Chunshan Manor in Jin to make some arrangements in advance.

She originally planned to take advantage of the opportunity to pray at Pudu Temple to have Li Youlin stage an assassination scene, fake her death and sneak into Chunshan Manor to live for a while.

Then, taking advantage of this period of time, all the shops and properties except those in Jinzhou City were sold.

When Qin Jingchang's shop is taken away by Manager Zhong and Qin Baoyi's fake jewelry and fake banknotes are exposed, he will come back to clean up the mess.

However, she never expected that her plan would be disrupted by an assassin who suddenly appeared along the way.

And there was no news from Chen Cheng yet.

Chen Cheng walked in from outside and bowed to Qin Shu, "Miss."

"Thank you for your hard work, Manager Chen." Qin Shu asked someone to move stools and serve tea.

Chen Cheng did not complete the task and said with shame on his face: "I went to Chunshan Manor. As soon as I entered the manor, people kept coming up to test and ask questions."

"I noticed that since then, there have been many more figures around Zhuangzi, and my every move has been watched. I was worried that I would ruin the young lady's plans, so I pretended to come to receive the festival gifts and have been waiting until now."

Qin Shu nodded: It seems that when Nanny Chun went to Gushan Manor last time, she was targeted by people sent by Qin Jingchang.

If she really went to Chunshan Manor, she would probably be killed as soon as she arrived.

Chen Cheng added: "I heard about the Second Master's affairs only after I came back. There are some things I don't know whether I should talk about or not."

Qin Shu said, "Manager Chen, please feel free to speak."

Chen Cheng then said, "When I was at Gushan Manor in the past, I saw the Second Master riding in a carriage several times and appearing in the area of ​​Gushan Manor."

"I have inquired about it. The village head is surnamed Zhang. He does not live in the village on weekdays. He only brings people here when the second master goes to look for him."

Qin Shu's heart skipped a beat, and she intuitively felt that Zhang Zhuangtou was the contact person between Qin Jingchang and the real murderer behind the scenes.

Gushan Manor?

She glanced at Chen Cheng and immediately gave up the idea of ​​asking him to keep an eye on the manor.

Chen Cheng is just an ordinary manager, who only has brute force and does not know any martial arts.

What if Zhang the village head finds out something and kills people to silence them? Wouldn't that harm him and alert the enemy?

Thinking of this, Qin Shu said, "Just pretend you don't know about this. If there is anything unusual in that manor, you can quietly ask someone to send a message to the manor. Don't go near that manor on weekdays."

Just know the direction of the investigation, and she will figure out the rest.

Chen Cheng responded in a low voice.

In order to conceal the real purpose of going to Chunshan Manor, Chen Cheng brought back the harvest from the manor in five or six carriages.

Qin Shu also asked people to put the things in the carriage into storage.

After a busy period, it was already past noon.

Manager Chang also returned to the government office from the government office.

After handing the land deed to Qin Shu, Manager Chang winked at Qin Shu. Qin Shu understood and asked Nanny Chun to take the two maids away.

Manager Chang then replied, "I went to the government office to transfer the household registration. When I was about to return home, I saw the Second Madam of the West Mansion and the Third Master guarding the prison gate. I heard that the Second Madam left at dusk yesterday. The prison gatekeeper did not let her in because she did not have money to bribe him."

Seeing Qin Shu was silent in deep thought, Manager Chang said, "I'll ask Dong Shun to wait on the side to see what the Second Madam will do."

If Qin Jingchang wanted to pass a message to the person behind the scenes, the most likely way would be through the person at Gushan Manor.

The bracelet was broken, and Qin Jingchang no longer had any excuse to ask the other party to take action.

But there is no guarantee that the other party will not give Qin Jingchang one last chance.

Qin Jingchang wanted to reveal the matter of the bracelet to the other party, which was pure nonsense in the eyes of others.

Without extremely convincing evidence, it is impossible to convince the other party.

But as long as it can be proven that Liu Weiran is not sick, as long as Liu Weiran tells us what happened in his previous life...

The other party may not give it a try.

After all, Qin Shu was just a merchant girl. Killing her was no different from crushing an ant.

Therefore, Qin Shu must get rid of He Zhong before the murderer behind the scenes meets Qin Jingchang.

And before Qin Jingchang passed the message on, he gave Qin Jingchang the "most reasonable" reason for the disappearance of the property.

As for Liu Yinghua and Liu Weiran...

Without Liu Yinghua, Qin Jingchang could find someone else to pass on the message;

Killing Liu Weiran would only alert the other party...

Thinking of this, Qin Shu said, "Thank you for your hard work, Manager Chang. You have also been working hard for a few days. Go back and rest first."

After Manager Chang left, Qin Shu asked the kitchen staff to prepare some wine and food, called two guards and a maid, and left in a carriage.

At this time, there were fewer pedestrians on the street, and most people who should go home had already gone home.

All the shops along the way have closed their doors, and the once bustling street market has become deserted.

After arriving at the government office, we walked along a narrow and quiet alley until we reached the prison gate.

The stone door frame was only wide enough for one person to pass through by bending over, and a chain as thick as a baby's wrist locked a black lacquered wooden door firmly to the stone wall.

On each side there was a yamen runner with a sword, leaning against the wall with his arms folded, talking and laughing in a low voice.

Liu Yinghua hugged Qin Anwen and curled up in a corner not far away.

Seeing Qin Shu coming, he immediately became furious, rushed up with bared teeth, and yelled, "You bitch, how dare you come here! You still have the nerve to come here! What are you doing here? Are you here to laugh at us?!"

The security guard who followed immediately stood in front of Qin Shu.

Qin Shu laughed coldly, "You conspired with Qin Jingchang to kill my parents, rob my family's wealth, and even wanted to marry me to your poor nephew. You don't feel ashamed at all, so why should I be embarrassed?"

Liu Yinghua seemed to be crazy, and screamed "Ah", stretching out her five fingers like claws to grab Qin Shu. But she was blocked by the two guards, so she turned around and shouted to Qin Anwen: "Wen'er, kick her!"

Just as Qin Anwen was about to rush over, he was grabbed by the collar by the security guard and thrown far away.

Liu Yinghua screamed, bent her finger and hit the security guard in the face.

This made the security guard very angry. He raised his foot and kicked Liu Yinghua hard in the waist and abdomen, kicking her far away.

The bailiff drew out his knife with a clang and shouted, "Hey! This is a restricted area of ​​the prison, no noise is allowed! If you make any more noise, I'll arrest both of you!"

The scene at the South Gate had already spread throughout the entire Jinzhou city.

The eldest brother was murdered by his own brother whom the family had spent money to support for more than 20 years. If this matter were to be made public, who would not spit in anger?

It's worse than pigs and dogs!

Qin Shu took out two silver ingots of five taels from her purse, stuffed them into the hands of the yamen runner, and said apologetically: "Please be lenient and let me go in to see my second uncle."

The yamen runner who received the silver weighed the silver ingot in his hand and said with a smile: "Okay, but not for too long."

Qin Shu knelt down and bowed to the two yamen runners, thanked them, turned to Liu Yinghua, smiled, and walked in leisurely.
