Skilled in managing a house

"My eldest brother said the same thing. After all, the Tao family cannot rely solely on our Tao family to investigate the situation of that Zizi and Tao Xi. We need the intervention of the patrol. As soon as they intervene, God knows if there are people from the other party involved. So, we The Tao family’s investigation is probably no longer a secret,” Tao Xinshui said.

Master Zhang nodded and then said: "Fellow Daoist Zhang, tell me, what aspects of the investigation does our Tianshi Mansion need to be responsible for?"

"Tianshi Mansion..." Zhang Yu thought for a while and said: "There are still problems with the car accident scene after all. Even if it ends up being a dead end, I think Tianshi Mansion can continue to investigate along this line. After all, On the surface, these are the only solutions that can be thought of."

"That's fine." Master Zhang nodded, and then said, "What are you going to do over there?"

"On my side..." Zhang Yu hesitated for a moment, looked at the account book in his hand, and said, "I'll just sort it out from here..."

"Screening from here...do we need to provide any information..." Tao Xinshui said.

After hearing this, Zhang Yu realized that he really seemed to need some information from the Tao family. After all, there are so many guests, and those who can go to Tao's house to pay New Year greetings to the old man are not idle.

Zhang Yu nodded and said, "Then I will screen them."

After saying that, he opened the account book and found the people who lived in Tao's house during the New Year.

Zhang Yu had already looked at the account book at Tao's house before. After opening it again, he observed it carefully this time. What is checked is not who lives in which courtyard, but the date of check-in and departure.

The Lei family lived in Tingyuxuan. If the Lei family were excluded, the people who might have committed the crime were those before the arrival of the Lei family and those after the Lei family left. Zhang Yu soon discovered that everyone arrived at Tao's house on the same date, and left Tao's house on the third day of the first lunar month. However, there are also two families that do not leave on the third day of the first lunar month, one on the fourth day of the lunar month and the other on the fifth day of the lunar month.

According to records, the person who left the Tao family on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year was named Qiao Xuan, and he was accompanied by six others, carrying many gifts. The man who left the Tao family on the fifth day of the lunar month was named Lei Ge. He was accompanied by two people. He didn't bring many gifts, only a rosewood sculpture of a longevity star.

After reading it, Zhang Yu said, "What does this Qiao Xuan do?"

"Qiao Xuan is the head of Muwang Qiao's family. He comes to pay New Year's greetings to our family every year," Tao Xinshui said.

"Wood King Qiao's family..." Zhang Yu muttered, and then remembered that when he first came into contact with thunder-cleaving wood, he met a member of the Qiao family, and they even tricked their thunder-cleaving wood. Zhang Yu then said: "Everyone else left on the third day of the Lunar New Year. Why did their family leave on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year?"

"This is because our family was negotiating a deal with their family, and there were certain differences on the price. That's how business is. In business, it wasn't until the third day of the lunar new year that both parties took a step back, and then they reached an agreement. Then. The Qiao family left on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year," Tao Xinshui said.

"In terms of business, who else dares to bargain with your Tao family?" Zhang Yu said with a smile.

"We, the Tao family, are not robbers, and we have to be reasonable in doing business. And this time, we still have to buy someone's favor, which is probably the face of our Tao family. Otherwise, the Qiao family may not even be able to sit in the negotiation. On the table." Tao Xinshui was a little proud when he said this.

"What kind of deal is that? Brother Tao, can you tell me?" Zhang Yu said.

"Is this..." Tao Xinshui hesitated for a moment, but still said: "Our family has taken a fancy to a forest farm owned by the Qiao family. In this forest farm, many peach and jujube trees have grown very thick and are considered mature. Therefore, our Tao family planned to buy this forest farm, and the Qiao family naturally refused to buy it, but our Tao family’s reputation was enough, and the two parties negotiated several times before finally finalizing it.”

"So that's it..." Zhang Yu nodded slightly, and he also understood in his heart that the reason why the Tao family was able to take over this forest farm was that even if they paid a lot of money, some of it was a bit of a rip-off. However, everyone still has to get by in terms of face.

Zhang Yu then asked: "What about this Lei Ge?"

"Leige the Master is the most famous sculptor today, but he almost never appears in the market, so except for some practicing sects, his name is not known in the market. During the Chinese New Year, our family got a fine piece of He wanted to buy jade, so he asked Lei Ge to help carve a statue of Sanqing. It was precisely because of this that Lei Ge wasted his time and left on the fifth day of the lunar month." Tao Xinshui said.

"In other words, both parties wanted to leave in the third year of junior high school, but they couldn't leave because of the Tao family's affairs." Zhang Yu said.

"Yes." Tao Xinshui said.

"Then I wonder if the Tao family can invite people from the Qiao family and Lei Ge to their home to conduct an investigation like Zhu Yunliang from the Ming Tea House and Jiao Fei from the Jinfa Security Group did?" Zhang Yu asked.

"This..." Tao Xinshui's face showed a look of embarrassment, and he said slowly: "I'm afraid it's inappropriate..."

"These two families are probably not very famous. With the status of the Tao family, if we invite them to come, they wouldn't dare not to come," Zhang Yu said.

"Come... they will definitely come... But the problem is that Zhu Yunliang and Jiao Fei are on our side, so they can only use some means and dare not say anything... But the Qiao family and Lei Ge is a person of considerable status...if he is not one of them...there will inevitably be a lot of trouble..." Tao Xinshui said in embarrassment.

Facts have proved that the Tao family is picking the weakest persimmons. However, it was clear that there were two families who lived in Tingyuxuan in the Tao family, but facing these two families, the Tao family had no way of investigating. Not only the Tao family, but even the Tianshi Mansion is inconvenient to conduct investigations openly.

With the status and status of the Qiao family and Lei Ge, they are naturally inferior to the Lei family and the Dantai Bidong of the Laojun Mountain Longmen Sect. Even so, lynching cannot be abused, otherwise it will have a great impact on the reputation of the Tao family.

Zhang Yu thought for a while and said, "The Tao family should know where the Qiao family and Lei Ge live."

"Of course it's clear..." Tao Xinshui said directly: "The Qiao family is in the suburbs of Zhongzhou. There is a very large forest farm and manor, right there... Lei Ge's family lives in Hangzhou, and they live in Bishui Manor on the outskirts of Hangzhou. The manor There is a Duobao Pavilion, which is run by Rego. Every year, a large amount of jade, emerald, agate, and thunderwood are sent there for Rego to carve... Of course, several of Rego's proud disciples can be invited. It’s already a pretty good deal... I think the Tianshi Mansion will often send some raw materials to Duobao Pavilion... However, Lei Ge will definitely have to personally take care of the raw materials for the Tianshi Mansion..."

"Haha... This is not bad... Our Tianshi Mansion still has some face..." Zhang Zhenren said with a smile.
