Xie Liuzheng was shocked to hear that the man was trying to control her by using the contract.

?

She couldn't help but sneer.

?

"For a draftsman like you, I really don't think it's necessary to continue to cooperate with you. Who was the brainless person who invited you to come here? And signed a long-term contract? That person must have been kicked in the head by a donkey, right?"

?

Xie Liuzheng was no longer polite in his words.

?

She really didn't expect that a person who didn't even have the safety awareness that the goods stored in the warehouse, such as silk, must not be exposed to fire, would be allowed to design the drawings?

?

What’s funny is that no one in the Xie family raised any questions.

?

Xie Liuzheng even had reason to suspect that the man in front of him might be the spy hired by Zhou Paner.

?

If he had thought a little more when drawing the blueprint, such a huge loss would not have been caused?

?

Thinking of this, Xie Liuzheng narrowed his eyes and stared at him intently, questioning him.

?

"Who signed the long-term contract with you? You'd better tell us the truth, otherwise we will have to face each other in court."

?

Hearing this, the man was scared.

?

He was worried that he would be sued. After all, the previous warehouse was burned down. What if Xie Liuzheng bribed the officials? How could he, an ordinary citizen, fight against her?

?

"You, you are going too far! Don't be so proud! I want to see how quickly the Xie family will go downhill in your hands!"

?

The man didn't dare to stay for long, so he made some harsh words to Xie Liuzheng before leaving.

?

Facing the man's shouting, Xie Liuzheng stared at him coldly.

?

The man suddenly felt a chill.

?

"You, you are going too far! I won't argue with you!"

?

After saying this, the man fled in panic.

?

Looking at the man's back, Xie Liuzheng had no intention of letting him go. She turned around and instructed Fang Cheng.

?

"Send someone to follow him and see who he has come into contact with!"

?

"Miss, do you suspect that someone is behind him?"

?

Fang Cheng reacted quickly, and at the same time he was thinking about making amends. After all, he was the steward of the Xie Mansion, and he was the one who arranged everything.

?

As for this man, he seemed to be quite famous in Yangzhou, otherwise the Xie family would not have hired him to draw pictures at a high price.

?

But as the young lady said, it was so obvious that the precautions needed to be taken into consideration, but the other party avoided them perfectly.

?

If someone said that there was nothing wrong with that person, Fang Cheng would be the first one to not believe it.

?

Xie Liuzheng nodded. In fact, she was just suspicious. After all, there was no evidence, so Xie Liuzheng would not easily slander someone.

?

But if the other party really has a problem, Xie Liuzheng will naturally not let him go.

?

Fang Cheng naturally knew what Xie Liuzheng meant, so he quickly sent a strange servant to secretly follow the man.

?

The man's name was Wang Tieshan, a native of Yangzhou. His family had been drawing for others for generations, and it was a craft passed down from his ancestors.

?

But Xie Liuzheng felt that the other party might not be thoughtful, but must not have any bad intentions.

?

Of course, there is also a great possibility that she misunderstood Wang Tieshan.

?

Regardless of whether it is right or wrong, Xie Liuzheng feels that a thorough investigation will reveal the answer!

?

Wang Tieshan lost his job and was angrily preparing to go back. As soon as he went out, he met an acquaintance.

?

"Brother Wang, where are you going? I happen to be going to Caiyue Tower for a drink, would you like to come with me?"

?

Wang Tieshan thought about it and naturally would not refuse.

?

"Okay, I have nothing to do anyway, so I'll go with you!"

?

After a while, the man took Wang Tieshan to Caiyue Tower, asked for a private room, and ordered a table of dishes.

?

The two of them started drinking.

?

"Brother Wang, how come you are free today? I heard that you found a good job in the Xie family. I also said that when you become successful, you can help me!"

?

The man clenched his fist and complimented Wang Tieshan.

?

In response, Wang Tieshan smiled bitterly.

?

"Don't mention it. I get really angry when I mention this! It really pissed me off. You don't know that this job is likely to fail."

?

Then I told Wang Tieshan what happened today.

?

Hearing this, the man opposite was full of surprise.

?

"Then Miss Xie actually said that? As an outsider, she actually dared to look down on Brother Wang's drawing skills? Isn't she too arrogant?"

?

"I know that Brother Wang's cartography skills are the best in Yangzhou City!"

?

No one doesn't like to hear compliments, and Wang Tieshan is no exception. After being praised by the other party, Wang Tieshan was so flattered that he didn't even know his own name.

?

However, the man did not continue speaking. He comforted Wang Tieshan with a few words and then started to urge him to drink.

?

When Wang Tieshan was drunk, a fierce look flashed in the man's eyes. Then he called the waiter, whispered a few words in his ear, and left in a hurry.

?

As for Wang Tieshan, he fell asleep on the table in the side room.

?

Fang Cheng's men followed them to the restaurant and waited opposite the restaurant, but until the early morning of the next day, they did not see Wang Tieshan leave the restaurant.

?

This made the people who were following him feel very strange.

?

"It's this late, is Wang Tieshan going to sleep here? Poor me, I haven't slept all night! I can't even go back to catch up on some sleep!"

?

Just as the man stretched and was about to get something to eat to fill his stomach, he suddenly heard a scream from Caiyue Tower!

?

"what!"

?

"Dead!"

?

"Someone hanged himself!"

?

Upon hearing this, the person in charge of keeping an eye on Wang Tieshan at the door was startled, and then he didn't care about anything else and rushed into Caiyue Tower.

?

As soon as he entered the room, he found that many people gathered at the door of the wing room on the second floor, and the man was stunned.

?

"If I remember correctly, Wang Tieshan was drinking in the second-floor room yesterday!"

?

The next second, the man squeezed forward and said, "Please make way, please make way!"

?

When the man squeezed in and saw that Wang Tieshan was indeed hanging on the beam, he cried out inwardly that something was wrong.

?

But just when he turned around to report the matter, Wang Tieshan's family came in a hurry, especially his wife. When she saw Wang Tieshan hanged, she burst into tears!

?

"My husband, why are you doing this? Why are you so depressed? How can we, an orphan and a widow, survive if we are left here?"

?

Then she heard someone shouting.

?

"Where are you going? You look unfamiliar to me. You don't look like someone from Caiyue Tower? Did you kill Wang Tieshan?"

?

Faced with the man's accusation, the stalker hurriedly denied it.

?

"It wasn't me. I was just a spectator! I didn't kill anyone!"

?

But the other party didn't listen to him and kept holding him.

?

Finally, the man even mentioned reporting to the police.

?

"Yesterday I saw Wang Tieshan and the Shen family drinking happily together. Why did he want to commit suicide? I think there must be something fishy going on!"

?

"Let's report it to the police!"

?

Suddenly, the person who was following him panicked. He was only responsible for keeping an eye on Wang Tieshan, but he never thought that he would be involved in a murder case.

?

But the crowd refused to let him go, so the boy had no choice but to be taken away by the yamen runners who arrived.
