Chapter 169 Inextricably linked (1)

Ban Xiyu had heard of the Liu Family in Nanhuai Mansion.

She remembered that her grandfather had told her that the Liu family started their business by doing silk business, and later became famous for embroidery. They were very famous silk merchants in Jiangnan area.

In Huaijiang Prefecture, there are many embroidery and silk factories of the Liu family in Nanhuai Prefecture.

At that time, the Liu family's ancestral house was still in Huaijiang Mansion, and the grandmother and the old lady of the Liu family also had some friendship. In the early years, the two families had contacts, and the grandmother often went to the Liu family's Biezhi Garden to chat with the old lady Liu.

It's just that in recent years, the business of the Liu family has not been as good as before. The old lady Liu also died of illness in Huaijiang Mansion three years ago. Not long after that, the master of the Liu family moved the ancestral house to Nanhuai Mansion.

After that, the Liu family's business gradually withdrew from the Huaijiang Mansion, and only operated those few silk shops in Nanhuai Mansion.

"Although today is different from the past, even though the Liu family is down and out, it is still not enough to buy an ancient painting from a pawnshop that is circulated in second-hand trading." Ban Xiyu asked: "Then why did this painting go to the Liu family? gone?"

Cao Ruxing replied: "I heard that the young lady of the Liu family is going to get married, and that ancient painting is one of the dowry Mr. Liu added to his daughter." He said:
"If this was three years ago, Mr. Liu would definitely have looked down on the unowned works in the small pawn shop, but the current situation of the Liu family...

"Furthermore, Ms. Liu loves Danqing for ten thousand minutes, and Master Liu loves her daughter, but there is no way to get a famous place for her daughter, so I can only go to various pawnshops to collect some ancient paintings for comfort."

Hearing Cao Ruxing's explanation, Ban Xiyu immediately recalled it.She said, "Miss Liu? I remember her."

When Ban Xiyu was still in Huaijiang Mansion, she once heard from her grandmother that Miss Liu's daughter was two years older than her, and four years ago she made a marriage contract with Mr. Wu from North Lanzhou.

Originally Miss Liu was supposed to get married in the second year, but it happened that Mrs. Liu passed away, so the marriage could only be postponed for three years.

Ban Xiyu said: "If I remember correctly, Miss Liu's wedding is at the beginning of next month. Is that so?"

Cao Ruxing nodded: "Yes. But how did you know Miss Liu?"

After the words fell, Wen Jisheng also turned to look at Ban Xiyu.

Ban Xiyu smiled and said, "I just heard about it, I met one by chance many years ago. Ms. Liu is very graceful and beautiful, so I remember it."

"I see." Ban Xiyu said casually, and Cao Ruxing believed it.He said: "So, if you want to get back that painting, you need to get it back as soon as possible. Otherwise, when she gets married, the mountains are high and the water is far away. You may not be able to get the painting back."

Northern Lanzhou is close to the capital city, and thousands of miles away from Nanhuai Mansion.If the opportunity is missed, then Ban Xiyu and Wen Jisheng will have to take a long detour to reach Beilanzhou.

"I understand, thank you for letting me know." Ban Xiyu said: "It's getting late, young master, why don't you go back and rest earlier. We will open a new room for you."

After finishing speaking, she winked at Ji Sheng.

Hearing the silent sound, he understood, and immediately handed out a money bag from his arms.He said: "There is not much silver here, but it is enough to buy a good coffin for your father to bury."

Cao Ruxing glanced at the money bag and confiscated it: "Thank you for your kindness. But I can't let my father be buried yet - my father was killed by a dog officer, and I want to avenge my father.

"The old wounds on my father's body are the evidence that the dog officer colluded with the wicked, so I need to preserve my father's body so that I can do an autopsy."

Wen Jisheng: "..." He hesitated to speak, and endured it, but he still couldn't hold back and said: "In this hot weather, if the corpse is left for too long, no matter how well it is preserved, it will probably turn into a puddle of bad water." Yes. Listen to my advice, let your father die as soon as possible."

Cao Ruxing frowned and said, "But I..."

Ban Xiyu: "Young Master Cao, I understand your concerns, but it is not an option to keep your father's body in the inn all the time. In the scorching heat, I think your father has a spirit in the sky, and he doesn't want to see you like this." Persevere hard."

She added: "Besides, to seek justice, it is not necessary to have an autopsy. Since Zhang Zhifu and Zhao Xinke had colluded for a long time and behaved wrongly, there must be evidence. As long as we get these evidence, we can do it for you. Your father reversed the case."

Cao Ruxing was in a dilemma and was very entangled: "But I am weak, how can I get the evidence? Their minions are watching me very closely, and I have no chance to leave Shifang Mansion and ask for help."

"It's not difficult, just leave it to us." Wen Jisheng said: "You gave us important clues about ancient paintings, and we will naturally reciprocate. Don't worry, we will definitely help you with your father's death and the Cao family's pawn shop. Get it back!"

Cao Ruxing had doubts at first, but after seeing Jisheng and Ban Xiyu's vows, he gradually relaxed.He thought to himself, he was desperate, since he got the promise from the two, why not give it a try?
There may be a glimmer of hope for a dead horse as a living horse doctor.

So Cao Ruxing made up his mind and decided to do what Ban Xiyu and Wen Jisheng said.

He solemnly thanked the two of them, and then went back to his room to rest.

On the other side, Wen Jisheng also took Ban Xiyu to discuss in the guest room.He asked: "I heard what you said to Cao Ruxing just now, do you already have an idea?"

After getting along with each other for this period of time, Wen Jisheng could see the most obvious difference between the two sisters, Ban Xiyu and Lou Xiyue——

Ban Xiyu is extremely intelligent, good at using strategies and strategizing.He believed that if she was given a chance, she might really be able to be a teacher of all armies.But Lou Xiyue is different, in her eyes, it's over if she rushes up and fights, she doesn't know how to use a roundabout strategy.

So this time, Wen Jisheng is also looking forward to what kind of trick Ban Xiyu can come up with.

He leaned in front of Ban Xiyu, looked at her with a pair of divine eyes: "What clever plan does the military master have, I'm all ears."

As he said that, Wen Jisheng also handed Ban Xiyu a pen and paper very thoughtfully.

Ban Xiyu: "..."

She looked at the polished ink in her hand, and was immediately amused by Wen Jisheng's attitude: "This time you guessed wrong, I don't have any clever ideas, just stabilize Cao Ruxing first."

"Huh?" Wen Ji was stunned for a moment.He scratched his head in embarrassment, and then comforted Ban Xiyu: "It's okay, I'm good at dealing with these villains. Since you can't do it clearly, then come to 'yin'."

He planned to go to the homes of Zhang Zhifu and Zhao Xinke. It would be best if he could find evidence. If he couldn't find evidence, he would be a thief and steal the house deed from Zhao Xinke.

However, Ban Xiyu said: "There is no need to use 'Yin'. In fact, Governor Jiang, who is in charge of the Shifang Mansion, is an old friend of my grandfather. Many years ago, when Governor Jiang was still in the military camp, my grandfather once pointed him out.

"Later, the Ban family went south and Governor Jiang was promoted, so they gradually lost contact with each other. However, at the end of each year, Governor Jiang would send a few letters to his grandfather to say hello. Therefore, in the name of grandfather, I would like to ask Governor Jiang to help. Investigate this."
