Chen Chun had a look of horror on his face. He had never understood why Yang Xu and Zhuang Mu had such a big dispute when they had a good relationship. He was not very close at the time and could only hear the last sentence.
If the guess is correct, Zhuang Mu has a handle and it falls into Yang Xu's hands.
"I suspected that Yang Xu told Zhuang Mu about Ruoruo's secret, and Zhuang Mu killed Yang Xu and put the blame on her and me."
After all, in the eyes of others, the relationship between the two was harmonious, there was no conflict, and no reason for the murder could be found.
Li Haitang recorded everything and asked Chen Chun not to say anything, so as not to alert the enemy. Maybe he would need his cooperation to find clues later.
"Cooperation is a must. No one wants to be regarded as a murderer without any clear explanation."
The conversation lasted for half an hour, and when Li Haitang left, Chen Chun got up to see him off, and also gave him a few pieces of good stuff from the south, which were hard to buy if he was rich.
Li Haitang said a few polite words and asked Uncle Chen to go straight to Qingshui Village where the banker currently lives.
Qingshui Village is located on the outskirts of Beijing. It is surrounded by a large area of land and is relatively quiet. Most of the residents live in Qingshui Village, which is crowded with people.
It's not far from the downtown area of Kyoto, so it's convenient to go shopping in the city, and the surrounding areas are much cheaper.
Many people buy yards around the village and raise children and girls. The cost is lower than in the capital.
When Li Haitang came here, he was looking for a woman named Jing whom Li Duanzu had inquired about, and was known as Jing Qiaozui.
Mrs. Jing is different from others in doing business and will not be greedy for money. I heard that she was abducted and sold to Hualou when she was young. Because she was not good-looking, she was not taken into consideration and was let go.
Mrs. Jing was grateful for this, and later became a nanny. She would not push her subordinates into a pit of fire, and would try her best to find a good family.
Because of her actions, she has a good reputation. Many people who have no family members and leave from Mrs. Jing treat her as a family member and come back to visit her from time to time.
In Qingshui Village, everyone keeps to themselves and no one asks about your details. On the one hand, there is no time, and on the other hand, there is no way to find out. There are people coming in and out every day, and the flow of people is too large.
As soon as the carriage entered the village, it attracted attention. It was heard that they were looking for Mrs. Jing, and someone enthusiastically showed the way.
"Madam, it seems Mrs. Jing is quite popular."
Wufu thought, a conscientious person doesn't have many teeth. Just like a matchmaker, they only want to make money. They can talk about the dead and live. They are not relatives, not friends, but only purchasers. Who cares whether you end up in a pit of fire?
Li Haitang nodded in agreement, thinking that he had bought Sixi at Huang Ji Ya Store, and that the shopkeeper was also a kind-hearted person.
The arrival location is a relatively large farmyard with a dark iron gate at the door.
As soon as Li Haitang got off the carriage, the door was opened inside, revealing a small head.
"Who are you looking for?"
A little girl of five or six years old looked at Li Haitang, blinked, and asked.
"Let's find Mrs. Jing."
Generally, few people come to buy the goods, and the wealthy families all agree on a time and ask Mrs. Jing to take people to see them.
Among Yapo and other wealthy families, there may be middlemen who introduce them. If the transaction is successful, the middlemen will get some benefits.
Therefore, some families send stewards to pick up people directly in the countryside. This is very common.
In ancient times, the buying and selling of people was legal and formed an industrial chain. Mrs. Jing was not at home sometimes. It was unfortunate that Li Haitang came here at this time. Mrs. Jing went out to buy people and would not come back until dark.
"That's it!"
It's not easy to come here. Li Haitang didn't really want to leave. She asked the little girl, "Can we go in and wait?"
"That's okay."
Unexpectedly, the little girl answered simply. She opened the iron door directly, and several girls came out of the yard.
The one at the front is a middle-aged woman whose home is Qingshui Village. She was hired by Mrs. Jing to help with some private work.
The little girls who are to be sold are carefully trained. They will not be used as fire girls in the future. Their hands must be carefully maintained, not rough, and proficient in embroidery.
She brought Wufu in and asked Uncle Chen to find a place to rest.
The courtyard was quiet, and few people came out to see her after she arrived. Visitors at home were very common for these people.
"You are here, but you have something important to do with Mrs. Jing?"
The woman had a cheerful smile and was very talkative. Her husband died when she was young and she left behind a daughter. The daughter married into the next village and she was left alone.
Because I felt lonely, I took the initiative to come to Mrs. Jing's place to work, just to have someone to chat with me.
Mrs. Jing is a kind person and gives her two hundred coins every month. The woman has been doing this for five or six years.
"Yes, I am a foreigner. I came to Kyoto not long ago. I heard that Mrs. Jing has a good reputation and that the little girls she trains are well-educated and sensible. I bought a few of them to avoid embarrassment when socializing."
Li Haitang looked unfamiliar, and her voice had a bit of a Northland accent. She didn't hide her purpose.
"Then you've come to the right place!"
Woman Balabala, speaking of Mrs. Jing, there is no one with such a conscience nearby. At first, there was a girl here. Because of her good looks, she was attracted by the master of a family and wanted to buy her as an outhouse.
Mrs. Jing saw that the wealthy people were all past their 60s and had only a few years of good life. The wife was still the master of the house, so she refused and lost a lot of money.
Later, the maid was sold to a family and became a maid beside the young master. Somehow, she was favored by the young master and gave birth to an heir. Then she was given a marriage contract and was married by the young master, becoming the mistress of the house.
Mrs. Jing didn't agree to let her maid serve as a concubine for a wealthy family because she didn't want her to become a widow at a young age, so she gave up the benefits of hundreds of taels of silver.
It sounds simple, but as a businessman, it is really rare.
"That girl later started her own business with the young master. The young master passed the exam and she lived a good life."
The more the woman talked, the more envious she became. Moreover, the maid was very kind to Mrs. Jing, and was closer than her own mother. No, with her son and daughter-in-law, she bought a yard in the village and settled down here.
"The banker's boy is so handsome!"
The woman said a lot, and Li Haitang rubbed his forehead. It couldn't be what she thought, right?
"Really? He must be talented and learned."
Li Haitang continued, and the woman nodded quickly after hearing this, "I heard it was at the Kyoto Academy, but his wife is pregnant, so she has no intention of studying. She can come back to accompany the childbirth in peace."
Anyway, I have already passed the scholar examination, so I can settle down and wait two or three years before continuing the examination.
Now, how many men can do this for their wives, how difficult it is!
A few words flashed through Li Haitang's mind, Zhuang Mu, Zhuang Ke, pregnant, daughter-in-law... Zhuang Mu must not have been married, so they returned to Qingshui Village to find a woman who would hide the truth for Zhuang Ke's future child. Making preparations, or simply concealing Zhuang Ke's identity?
