Chapter 321: Discovering the Clues
Wang Chengshou glanced at Su Bowen and said tentatively.
"Master Hou, what should we do?"
"Go in and have a look."
Knowing that Su Bowen was going to go in and have a look, a trace of hesitation flashed in Wang Chengshou's eyes, mainly because they didn't know what was going on here, so they rushed there, for fear that an accident would happen.
In this way, Wang Chengshou reminded Su Bowen.
"Master Hou, you and I don't know the situation inside, if you ......"
"It's okay, there's a dark guard."
Su Bowen was reluctant to say anything more with Wang Chengshou, Wang Chengshou could naturally see Su Bowen's resolute attitude in this matter, so Wang Chengshou did what Su Bowen said.
The two of them came out of the darkness and came directly to the door of the Zhuangzi.
When the gatekeeper outside Zhuangzi saw the two of them, a trace of vigilance flashed in his eyes, and his tone was even colder.
"Who are you?"
Seeing that the guard guarding the door had a bad attitude, Wang Chengshou subconsciously looked at Su Bowen, Su Bowen gave Wang Chengshou a look, Wang Chengshou immediately understood, took out the nameplate from his arms to prove his identity, and handed it to the guard.
When the guards saw the nameplate, they naturally knew that the other party was the city guard of Yanzhou City.
Soon, Zhuangzi's butler came in person, looked at Wang Chengshou and Su Bowen with a respectful face, and asked.
"I don't know if it's the city guard, I miss the distance, and I hope the adults won't be angry."
"Originally, we were disturbed, we passed by here, I felt a little thirsty, and I wanted to go in and ask for a glass of water, I don't know if it is okay?"
Wang Chengshou had never found such a lame reason, but now he really couldn't find any other reason besides such a reason, so he could only say so.
The housekeeper learned that the other party was just coming to drink a glass of water, and it seemed that there were only two people on the other side, and there was no threat at all, so the housekeeper personally took the two to the main hall.
Along the way, Su Bowen and Wang Chengshou didn't find anything, Wang Chengshou naturally felt that Su Bowen was too careful, but now that Yanzhou said that he had the final say, with Su Bowen such a loyal and brave marquis, Wang Chengshou naturally didn't dare to act rashly.
In everything, we still have to obey the loyal and brave marquis.
Sit down in the main hall, and soon the housekeeper brought the owner of Zhuangzi, a middle-aged man, who saw Su Bowen and Wang Chengshou and saluted respectfully.
"Two distinguished guests came, and they missed the distance."
"You're welcome, we're just here to ask for a glass of water."
Wang Chengshou still used such a set of rhetoric, the man's eyes stayed on Su Bowen, he could naturally see that the man in front of him was either rich or noble, and even Wang Chengshou had to be respectful to this man, thinking that the identity of this person must not be simple.
With a measure in his heart, the master sat on the main seat, and Su Bowen was beside him.
The master looked at Su Bowen and said.
"I don't know this ......"
"Su Bowen."
As soon as Su Bowen said this, a flash of surprise flashed in the eyes of the master of Zhuangzi, and then he immediately saluted Su Bowen respectfully and said.
"It turned out to be Hou Ye, the villain is clumsy, and I hope that Hou Ye will not be surprised."
"Nothing."
Su Bowen's attitude towards people seems to be quite good, and the master obviously looks a little more restrained than before.
It is estimated that no one will be able to deal with all this calmly if the marquis of the imperial court suddenly appears in anyone's house.
Su Bowen took a sip of tea, I have to say, this tea is still very good, his eyes stayed on the master's body, Su Bowen asked.
"Your Zhuangzi is very big, I don't know what you do on weekdays?"
Seeing Su Bowen's inquiry, the master of Zhuangzi behaved very calmly.
"My Zhuangzi is only used for living on weekdays, and there is a little business in the city, and it is not very profitable. My ancestors saved a lot of money, but now it's just a mess. ”
There are also many wealthy businessmen in Yanzhou who have survived by their ancestors, and most of them are powerful enough to save a lot of foundation, enough for future generations to live for many years.
Su Bowen drank tea with Wang Chengshou for a while, then found a reason to leave Zhuangzi.
When leaving, Su Bowen noticed that there would be white crystals on the ground of Zhuangzi, Su Bowen just glanced at it quietly, and did not take this matter to heart.
After Su Bowen left with Wang Chengshou, the master of the Zhuangzi glanced at the housekeeper and ordered.
"Go investigate and see if they came to Zhuangzi today, whether they were passing by or on purpose."
"The old man is suspicious......"
The butler's words didn't come out, but seeing his master's vigilant look, the butler guessed that the rest of the matter was not so simple.
"Check it out and be prepared."
A flash of fierceness flashed in the man's eyes, he wanted to see what this matter was all about, if someone really questioned that he couldn't get along with him, he would naturally not let the other party's life be better!
After Su Bowen left Zhuangzi with Wang Chengshou, along the way, Wang Chengshou noticed a trace of sorrow flashing in Su Bowen's eyes, and after thinking about it, Wang Chengshou asked tentatively.
"What did Master Hou think?"
Hearing this, Su Bowen looked at Wang Chengshou and said.
"Wang Chengshou just went to the Zhuangzi with Ben Hou, I don't know what special discovery Wang Chengshou made?"
Seeing Su Bowen asking himself, Wang Chengshou was naturally sincerely afraid, he thought about it and answered truthfully.
"Master Hou, the old minister is really clumsy and can't see anything, but that Zhuangzi is really big, and there can be such a Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Yanzhou, and it is great to think that the ancestors of this family are also great."
Wang Chengshou's analysis still made some sense, Su Bowen looked at Wang Chengshou and ordered.
"Your celebrity should investigate this family carefully, and remember, don't let the other party notice."
"Yes."
Wang Chengshou naturally knew that Su Bowen attached great importance to this matter, so he naturally would not get along with Su Bowen.
His Majesty asked him to take care of Yanzhou, and he must take good care of Yanzhou, only in this way will His Majesty pay attention to him, otherwise he will be a dispensable existence for His Majesty.
When Su Bowen returned to the house, he told Shen Baiqing what happened today, and after knowing the ins and outs of the matter, Shen Baiqing felt that this matter was more interesting.
She looked at Su Bowen and took the initiative to ask.
"What does the husband mean, doubting that Zhuangzi is not simple?"
"Selling illicit salt is a headless business, but until the matter is investigated, we still don't want to act rashly."
Su Bowen is still sensible, at least he knows that it is better not to act rashly before the results of the investigation are out.
Seeing that her husband was like this, Shen Baiqing didn't say anything.
The husband has analyzed the matter very thoroughly, she just needs to listen quietly on the side, and there is no need to give her husband too much advice, I think the husband will understand much better than her.
Su Bowen looked at Shen Baiqing and took the initiative to ask.
"What does Madame think of this?"
Seeing Su Bowen ask himself, Shen Baiqing answered truthfully.
"That Zhuangzi must not be simple, but we are not sure what Zhuangzi will look like in the end, so it is better not to act rashly and wait until there is a result."
