Brothers Shen and Gong who are friends with Jiang Zhuo in these populations are all people who bullied the original owner. If they hadn't teased that day, the original owner would not have crashed into the table and stool and died in order to get back the inkstone. They were all The murderer who indirectly killed the original owner.

Jiang Fan didn't mention not selling constant temperature trees to these people at the time, but it must have been confessed by Gu Changqing who had known about the situation.Gu Changqing thought that this was a way of expressing his anger for the original owner, but only Jiang Fan knew that the original owner was dead, and this kind of revenge was too simple and far from enough.

Jiang Fan drank the last sip of tea in his cup, checked out and left, leaving all the teenagers' complaints behind him.

Jiang Fan went back to the yard, Gu Changqing was already at home, sitting in the living room, holding a piece of paper in his hand and looking at it with a serious face, and there were a few more beside him.

Jiang Fan walked over and glanced at it. It was a portrait of a middle-aged man with thin cheeks and cold eyes.

"Who is this?" Jiang Fan asked.

Gu Changqing seemed to be lost in memory just now, Jiang Fan's voice made him tremble, he raised his eyes, and his eyes were slightly red.

"This is the thief who killed your father back then." Gu Changqing said.

Jiang Fan paused, stared at the portrait for a while, and pointed to the next ones: "All of these?"

Gu Changqing nodded, "After the accident, the government once drew a portrait of the wanted man, but the case has been suspended for so many years, and the government has ignored the case. Although the portrait has been copied and preserved, it has been very blurred over the years. This is my idea from the government. I got it, and recently hired an artist to copy it again."

To Gu Changqing, Jiang Zhen and his wife, Jiang Gu is his own sister, Jiang Zhen is his brother-in-law, and even his best friend. For many years, the government has failed to catch the thief, and the Jiang family seems to have given up. Remember, he was incapable before, but now he is a normal person and has money in his hands, so he started to re-do the case, repainted the portrait, and wanted to find the thieves who were on the run in private.

The last time Gu Changqing came to Beijing, he actually went to find the family members of the servants and escorts who had an accident together, hoping that there would be more people so that the government could continue to investigate the case, but many people moved and Gu Changqing lost their news. When the mover heard that Gu Changqing mentioned the events of the past, he cursed at Gu Changqing and asked Gu Changqing to lose money, so he refused to go with him.

According to the rules, both the Jiang family and Gu Changqing were victims of the accident that year, and it was due to the ineffective bodyguards of the bodyguard bureau that the bodyguard bureau should be responsible for the compensation.But in the face of the death of their family members, those family members didn't care about it. They only knew that it was for Jiang Zhen's bodyguards, so that accidents would happen.The Jiang family is just an ordinary merchant and has no foundation in Shangjing. These people bring the whole family to Jiang's house every day to make troubles, and the Jiang family can only settle the matter with money.

After all, Jiang Feng was Jiang Zhen's elder brother. After Jiang Zhen's death, he only stared at the government for the first two years to supervise this matter. As time passed, he gradually ignored it. Seeing that the family members of the victims were not indifferent, and the higher-ups paid less attention to the case, so they let it go. By now, the case file is covered with dust several layers thick.

Jiang Fan saw that Gu Changqing's eyes were red, knowing that he was thinking of the past again.Jiang Fan never forgot about this, this is what he should have done for the original owner.It's just that what he thought was that when he expands his business to the extent that many high-ranking officials and dignitaries are polite when they see him as a businessman, then he can put pressure on the government to make them pay more attention to the case.

In this era, transportation is inconvenient, and the delivery time of many information is also very lagging. Dazhou is so big, and people like Gu Changqing spend money to secretly search for it. It costs a lot of money, but it is still a needle in a haystack.

But Jiang Fan didn't persuade him, he just told Gu Changqing about his plan first, and then gave Gu Changqing a sum of the money he brought out, so that he could do it with peace of mind.

There are basically no shops in Shangjing that are so dilapidated that they need to be refurbished. Jiang Fan bought this shop in Shangjing for tens of thousands of taels, with three facades and two floors.The floor and walls inside are full of the thickness of time. You only need to change the counters and shelves inside to start a business.

The constant temperature tree was sold out, and those who didn't buy it came to the store to entangle for a few days, and they had to give up when they saw that there was really no one.

After Jiang Fan stayed in the capital for a few days, Gu Changqing took out a list, and it was he who screened the officials or their children in the capital who needed gifts.Jiang Zhen did the same thing when he came to Beijing when he first came to Beijing. He had no foundation and could only cling to certain forces to find stability, otherwise the business would not last long.

Jiang Fan looked at it, threw his hands aside, "It's not urgent."

Jiang Fan didn't want to do this. Taking this step would run counter to his original intention of coming to Shangjing to manage. If he really wanted to cling to someone, he didn't need to find someone else. Wouldn't it be a waste to leave a Buddha as big as Guan Xiujin unused.

Thinking of Guan Xiujin, Jiang Fan felt guilty again. When he left, he didn't leave a letter for Guan Xiujin. He just wrote one back yesterday. He didn't know if Guan Xiujin was still in Lishan Village and whether he could receive this letter.

What is Guan Xiujin doing? Guan Xiujin has already returned to Beijing.

Almost Jiang Fan left, Guan Xiujin came back, only two days later than Jiang Fan.When Jiang Fan guessed what Guan Xiujin was doing, Feng Er had already found out Jiang Fan's current address, and Guan Xiujin was listening to his report.

"...they couldn't buy the constant temperature tree, and they were trying to inquire about the shop owner, planning to teach Jiang Langjun a lesson if the other party didn't rely on him." Feng Er was talking about those families who couldn't buy the constant temperature tree. , was rejected and lost face, determined to get revenge.

Guan Xiujin slowly rubbed the tip of his right finger on the table, thoughtfully: "Mr. Gong, Gong Yang?"

Feng Er lowered his head and reported responsibly: "Nai Guanglu Temple is the youngest son of Gong Bin, who is now nineteen, and a marriage was arranged last month."

When Jiang Fan was investigated, the four brothers of the Feng family all intervened. They were very clear about Jiang Fan's previous situation, so they naturally knew that this Gong Yang was the one Jiang Fan wanted to please.

This news, to Guan Xiujin, was not as good as good.Jiang Fan likes men, but he has a sweetheart, and the sweetheart only got engaged last month, and Jiang Fan returned to Shangjing.

I am very unwilling and resentful, obviously I used to want to go around Gong Yang, but now I am not even willing to sell a tree to others.

If Jiang Fan knew that Guan Xiujin's thinking was so free, he would definitely grab his ears and yell—what a big misunderstanding!

However, Jiang Fan didn't know that Feng Er, who was still reporting, felt that the air pressure on his lord's body dropped instantly, and he couldn't help but secretly glanced at him, feeling that the lord's face was sinking like water, and he was very unhappy.

Feng Er was very confused.

The study was quiet for a while, before Guan Xiujin spoke again: "I invite Mr. Jiang Lang to come to the mansion for a gathering tomorrow."

"Yes." Feng Er stepped back.

Jiang Fan's shop is located in the middle of Qingxian Street, where the traffic is the densest. There are three facades in a row, and there is a plaque in the center with the words "Jiaoyan Pavilion" written on it.

Jiaoyan Pavilion has sold out all the trees, and there are only some shelves inside so far, and the goods are empty.A recruitment notice was posted in front of the door, and many people went in to apply for jobs every day.

Yuzhong Shifen, the busiest time in the morning.

A carriage appeared at the end of Qingxian Street. This carriage was very luxurious, and the logo of Prince An's Mansion was engraved on the body.The car stopped in front of the gate of Jiaoyan Pavilion under the watchful eyes of passers-by. The curtain of the car was lifted, and a middle-aged man with a white face and a smile in the corner of his eyes got out of the car and walked into Jiaoyan Pavilion slowly. .

Outside the Jiaoyan Pavilion, a few people happened to pass by here, recognized the identity of this person, and were shocked: "A half father-in-law?!"

Another person said: "Ah Ban? King An's personal attendant?"

"Didn't it mean that King An is not in Shangjing?"

"King An must have returned to Beijing, otherwise Ah Ban would not have appeared here."

"Just what is Ah Ban doing here? Does this newly opened store have something to do with King An?"

These few people only dared to discuss quietly in one place, and did not dare to approach easily.They waited for a while, then saw the shopkeeper of Jiaoyan Pavilion come out in a hurry, politely led Ah Ban back into the carriage, sat on the shaft of the carriage to show the driver the way, and left Qingxian Street.

The shopkeeper left, and the recruitment in the store could not continue for the time being. Many people still stayed in the store and waited, but a few people walked away quietly.None of them really came to apply for the job, either they were servants of the Shen family, or if they were servants of the Gong family, they simply wanted to find out who the owner behind this shop was.

The seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister.Ah Ban, as an attendant of King An, has served King An for more than [-] years, and many people know him.Ah Banfan walking outside represents King An's face and identity.They could see clearly just now that the father-in-law reported himself to the shopkeeper and said, "King An and Mr. Lang haven't seen each other for a few days, and after hearing that Mr. Lang came to Shangjing, he specially invited Mr. Lang to come to the mansion for a gathering."

After a while, the speculation that "the master behind Jiaoyan Pavilion seems to be friends with King An" spread to the ears of many people, which shocked many people and made many people rejoice. Jiaoyan Pavilion made a move.You must know that after An Wang's accident, he became more and more withdrawn day by day, and there has been no such person as a suspected friend by his side for many years.

When Ah Ban came to the door, Jiang Fan was reclined on the couch reading a book, and when he heard that someone came from Prince An's mansion, his hand shook and the book fell down.When he saw the smiling Ah Ban, Jiang Fan could only laugh a few times, "Ah Ban, what a coincidence, you have returned to Beijing too?"

Ah Ban saluted politely, raised his head and said with a smile: "What's even more coincidental, my husband has also returned to Beijing."

Jiang Fan coughed uncomfortably, and went to Ah Ban's side: "I left in a hurry, I forgot to tell your husband, is he angry?"

Ah Ban smiled and said, "Ah Ban doesn't know, you have to ask Mr. Lang yourself about this."

When Jiang Fan heard this, he was very scared.It took him 20 days to travel from Lishan Village to Shangjing, and he stayed for a few more days. He hadn't seen Guan Xiujin for more than [-] days, but the expected situation that the feeling would fade away didn't happen at all. On the contrary, he missed Guan Xiujin more and more. It's getting thicker.

Damn it!

Seeing Ah Ban's hand lifting the curtain of the car, Jiang Fan felt that he was going to the execution ground instead of an appointment.
