104 Chapter 104 A Big Move (1)

“There really is one, and it’s big news.” Qian Zhuang said with a mysterious look.

“Is that so? Brothers, please come inside.” After Gu Chengrui finished speaking, he led them into the house and shouted to the kitchen, “Ying, help me make a pot of tea and get some snacks.”

After they entered the house and sat down, he asked, “Brother Qian, what did you guys find this time?”

“You should have heard about the Qiao family’s house being robbed, right?”

“I heard that they haven’t found the thief yet. ”

“That’s right. Constable Li brought more than ten officers with him, but they didn’t get any clues except for the knockout powder.

“Right now, everyone in town is saying that the Qiao family must have offended some big shot. Otherwise, how could their manor get robbed out of nowhere?”

“That’s right. Some even said that they might have offended a deity. Otherwise, how could there not be a single track mark left behind after so many things were stolen?” Gu Erjiang added. Then, he gloated and said, “I’m afraid the Qiao family’s days of arrogance are coming to an end.”

“It’s definitely quieting down. Don’t you see that the people of the Qiao residence don’t really dare go out now?” Qian Zhuang affirmed.

At this time, Zhou Ying came in with a pot of ordinary Longjing tea and a large plate of snacks. There were mung bean cakes, chestnut cakes, thin slices of yam, and a few spicy dried tofu.

After putting down the plate and pouring a cup of tea for each of them, Zhou Ying sat down and asked, “Why is the Qiao family being so well-behaved now?”

“Well, think about it. Who wouldn’t be afraid of being knocked out of nowhere?

“If they intended to kill, the entire Qiao estate would be finished. Who wouldn’t be afraid?” Gu Erjiang curiously pinched a piece of spicy dried tofu.

At first, he couldn’t get used to the taste but soon couldn’t stop eating one piece after another.

Seeing this, Qian Zhuang quickly grabbed two pieces and tasted them.

Then, he remembered the purpose of their visit. He pinched a piece of mung bean cake and ate it while saying, “By the way, didn’t you ask us to keep an eye on the Qiao family and see if they’ve made any big moves recently? We did manage to find out about something.”

“Oh, is the Qiao family making any big moves?” Gu Chengrui asked curiously.

“This morning, the butler of the county governor’s residence went to the Qiao family. After he left, Elder Qiao gathered all the servants and long-term workers.

“After they left, we asked a long-time worker and found out they seemed to have some major work ongoing tonight.”

“Do you know what it’s for?”

Qian Zhuang shook his head. “We’ve asked two servants, but they didn’t know either. Since we were afraid of arousing suspicion, we didn’t dare to ask anymore. ”

Gu Chengrui nodded thoughtfully and asked, “Is there any more news?”

“Oh right, have you heard about the release of thugs you sent to the county jail?”

“Oh, how did they get released? Did someone come and get them? ”

“No, I heard that each of them was given 20 canes. As for whether there was a private deal, we don’t know. ”

“Do you know where they’re staying?”

“Yes, they’re in a small courtyard near the dock. The woman there even hired a doctor for them. ”

“Who’s the owner?”

“It’s too chaotic there. Many of them are rented houses, so I couldn’t find out anything. ”

“Alright. You guys can help pick up the soybeans from tomorrow onwards while collecting information.” Gu Chengrui said.

“Okay, we’ll start tomorrow.”

Gu Chengrui stood up and gave them a hundred copper coins. “This is your salary for the past few days.

After that, he gave them 500 coppers and said, “This is the money for the soybeans.”

“Doctor Gu, you’re so generous. We’ll take our leave then.” Qian Zhuang stood up and said.

“Wait a minute, you two. I can see that you like the spicy dried tofu. I’ll get you some to go with your drinks.” Zhou Ying stopped them and went to the kitchen. She used some oil paper to pack two pounds of snacks for them before sending them out.
