Chapter 54: About the Theft
Let's talk about Shu Wangjin's side, when it was time to take a break halfway, Shu Zhou couldn't help but watch a graceful woman walk down from the car at the back of the convoy, walking towards the front with some food in her hand.
"Why are you here?!" Shu Zhou looked at Qing Yan in purple in disbelief, he had obviously checked the situation inside each carriage before, but he didn't see Qing Yan!
"I came up halfway, and I'm here, can you still let me go back?" Qing Yan held some delicately made food with a smug face, "Sister said, if you let me go to Los Angeles together, then you will no longer owe her anything, and it has nothing to do with you how our sisters will live in the future." ”
When Shu Zhou first entered Shu Mansion, when he was not Shu Wangjin's personal servant, he accidentally smashed one of Master Shu's favorite Guanyin statues, at that time Qing Yu was already Shu Yujin's favorite big girl, so he took the responsibility with all his might, and in the end, even Shu Yujin and Shu Wangjin pleaded with Master Shu, which saved Qing Yu from being kicked out of Shu Mansion, so Shu Zhou has always been grateful for this matter, even if he was Shu Wangjin's most trusted servant, he did not forget half a point.
Shu Zhou glanced at the carriage that Shu Wangjin was riding, gritted his teeth and whispered, "You guys are too bold!" The young master never takes a woman to do business, and this time even Miss Lin stayed in the capital, how dare you keep up? ”
"I know you'll definitely help me......" Qingyan looked at Shu Zhou with a smile, his eyes full of threats.
Shu Zhou frowned, pursed his lips, and said after a long time, "When the time comes, I'll go and talk to the young master, if it really doesn't work, then you can only go back to Shufu." ”
"Thank you." Qing Yan smiled at Shu Zhou, and triumphantly returned to his carriage, and soon, he returned and handed Shu Zhou the delicately made food in his hand, "This is specially prepared for the young master, you can take it." ”
Shu Zhou took the food box, glanced at the delicacies inside, and left.
And here in the capital, Lin Mei and Qingying were rushing to the warehouse in the west of the city, Han Zhao had been waiting there for a long time, and when he saw the two of them getting out of the car, he wanted to salute, but when he saw Lin Mei, his eyes flashed instantly.
"This is Miss Lin, right?" Han Zhao leaned over and saluted, a friendly smile on his face.
Lin Mei nodded, and in the car, she heard Qingying say about Han Zhao, so she guessed that the young man in gray was Han Zhao at first sight, so she frowned and said, "Don't be so polite, compared to this, I want to know why the medicinal materials were stolen?" Look at the manpower in this warehouse, there are a lot of people. ”
Han Zhao originally wanted to stammer Lin Mei, but she couldn't say anything by choking herself directly, so she could only smile awkwardly and said cautiously, "This is indeed a villain's dereliction of duty...... It worries Miss Lin. ”
"It's good to know that it worries me, and besides, your dereliction of duty not only caused me to waste a lot of time here to investigate the serious consequences of the matter, but also made your young master very, very, very ...... of unhappy. Lin Mei's face was full of anger, she shook the small brocade in her hand to fan the wind, and squinted her eyes and said unhappily.
Qingying secretly hooked the corners of her mouth, she thought that Lin Mei would be easily fooled by Han Zhao, but now it seems that Shu Wangjin and her underestimated Lin Mei.
The smile on Han Zhao's face became more and more stiff, he thought that Lin Mei was just a village girl from the countryside who didn't understand anything, but he didn't expect that he miscalculated, and he was overwhelmed by Lin Mei's words.
"Okay, now is not the time to be stunned, why don't you hurry up and take us to see the warehouse where the medicinal materials were stored but stolen because of your negligence." Lin Mei didn't forget to mention the theft of medicinal materials every time she said a word, and Han Zhao's face became more and more ugly.
"Miss Lin, please ...... here" Han Zhao made a gesture to invite Lin Mei and the others in, with a look of disgrace.
Lin Mei's heart also beat a drum, if she dared to speak so arrogantly in normal times, it was not the privilege that Shu Wangjin gave her last night, and handed over the deeds of sale of the subordinates in the mansion to her for safekeeping, saying that if anyone dared to disobey her, then she could be driven out of the mansion directly, without notifying Master Shu and Mrs. Shu.
Han Zhao explained along the way that this warehouse is a place specially used by Shu Mansion to store important goods, in order to prevent theft, even the fence is as high as two zhang, and the brick wall of the warehouse is much thicker than the usual brick wall, and the key to each warehouse has a fixed storage place, and the key to the warehouse that happened to be stolen is guarded by Han Zhao.
"Didn't you lose your key?" Lin Mei entered the closed warehouse, and when she saw that it was empty, she couldn't help frowning, and even moved the boxes away, could it really be an internal thief?
"On that day, the villain had a party with the shopkeeper of the restaurant, and he drank too much for a while...... When he woke up and rushed to the warehouse the next day, all the contents were lost, and when the villain touched the key on his body, he was gone. Han Zhao blamed himself, and his face was full of guilt when he talked about this experience.
"Restaurant? Is it also in the name of the Shu family? Lin Mei was a little curious, how did she feel that the whole world's business had the feeling of the Shu family interfering?
"No, this is the boss's own private restaurant, which is the Diancui Building next to Taiye Lake...... That day, the boss of Diancuilou invited the little one to drink, and the little one thought that it would be okay at night, so he went to have a few drinks with the boss of Diancuilou. ”
Lin Mei nodded clearly, with no reproach on her face, "But why did the boss of Diancuilou invite you to drink for no reason?" ”
Han Zhao couldn't cry or laugh, so he had to explain, "Although the little one is just a subordinate, if he wants to have a good relationship with the Shu family, he can only start from people like us, otherwise the person in charge will definitely not care about this kind of thing. ”
"Then why didn't you report to the police?" Lin Mei couldn't understand that if someone's things were stolen in Linshan County, they would report to the official.
This time, even Qingying had nothing to say to Lin Mei, she really shouldn't have looked at Lin Meiqing before, Shu Wangjin was really too far-sighted to arrange everything, right!
So Qingying said coldly, "If it is reported to the official, wouldn't it be announced that the Shu family in the world has lost the medicinal materials that were paid tribute to the royal family?" At that time, I am afraid that the Shu family will not be able to argue. ”
"You say that, it's also right......" Lin Mei frowned and nodded approvingly, "Then what are we going to do?" ”
"Count what you count, and wait for the rabbit." Qingying has been familiar with the art of war since she was a child, glanced at the empty corner, and said coldly, she had already agreed with Shu Wangjin, no matter what, she would find out the person behind her.
