Zhu Ziyue clenched his fists when he heard this, and he couldn't refute Chen Mengtian's words.

Indeed, Steward Xiao has so much family property, I'm afraid it doesn't come from their family.

Their Zhu family's restaurant, including the house, and other valuable items are all added together, I am afraid that it will be less than 10,000 taels.

Even if the restaurant makes money, it is all through the shopkeeper of Longqing Restaurant, and never handles Steward Xiao.

Then where did he get so much silver, and bought a huge mansion?

All the expenses of the Zhu family's mansion were in Xiao Shi's hands, but he couldn't get so much money.

There's definitely something else going on here.

"Maybe he took the Zhu family's money and ran other money-making businesses?" Chen Qishan spoke up.

Jiang Zebei retorted for the first time, "No, the most profitable industry in the town is Yihong Courtyard, but it has a boss, known as Mama Hong."

Then there are inns, restaurants, and gambling houses, but even I know the boss behind them.

And even if he is really the boss of one of the industries, there is no need to hide it, he can completely break away from the Zhu family and start anew. ”

Chen Mengtian also felt that this matter was really not simple.

If it weren't for Jiang Zebei mentioning Steward Xiao's mansion before, saying how rich he was, she wouldn't have noticed it.

There's something distinctly odd about it.

Even Steward Xiao's murder is not simple, this is not like killing for the sake of family property at all.

Looking at the three teenagers in front of the table, with a pensive face, Chen Mengtian couldn't help but say: "If you want to know something, why don't you go to prison tomorrow and ask the person surnamed Xiao, there is no point in us guessing here." ”

"That's all it can be." Zhu Ziyue gritted his teeth and said.

He had a bad guess in his heart, and he needed Xiao Shi to admit it himself.

The other party's strange ambitions over the years, as well as my father's illness over the years, are not simple.

"Tomorrow, we will go to the town early and ask this Xiao Shi in person, where did the money come from!"

Chen Qishan finished drinking the second bowl of soup and stood up.

Zhu Ziyue looked at him and Jiang Zebei and nodded vigorously.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Qishan said: "Ziyue, today - you go home with me to live, I'm afraid that nothing will be cleaned up here in Zebei, my family will be different, I have a big kang by myself." ”

Zhu Ziyue naturally agreed.

After he drank the big bone broth, he followed Chen Qishan and left.

This time, it was Jiang Zebei who sent them out.

After Chen Mengtian had eaten and drunk enough, he began to clean up the table.

Put all the dishes and chopsticks away in the kitchen.

As for washing, she was powerless and decided to leave it to Jiang Zebei.

When Jiang Zebei came back, Chen Mengtian was wiping the table.

She didn't raise her head and said: "The kitchen dishes and chopsticks are left for you, I'll go wash them, this body is stinky and sweaty." ”

"Okay, there's hot water in the house, it's not enough, I'll boil it for you."

"That's enough."

Chen Mengtian wrapped up all the residues on the table, and put them in Jiang Zebei's hands with a tablecloth.

She moved her aching neck, turned and walked inside.

Jiang Zebei looked at the back of her leaving and disappeared into the door curtain, and lowered his eyes to look at the rag in his hand.

Shaking his head slightly, he headed out into the kitchen.

These feelings made him a little new and a little familiar.

When my father and mother were alive, they seemed to get along like this.

Chen Mengtian returned to the inner room, took off his coat, and walked to the ear room.

After a brief wash, she walked to the bed in her bedclothes.

I was really tired this day, and I didn't feel much during the day, and my whole body was a little sore after taking a shower.
