Da Song Private Investigator

When Hua Lang asked Deng Cuiyun, a maid made tea for them, Hua Lang took a sip, it was very fragrant, and he couldn't help but praise.

Seeing Hualang's praise, Deng Cuiyun said: "This is the tea my husband bought back from the tea house in the western suburbs. Now there is only a little bit left. If you like it, the young lady is willing to give it all."

Hualang thought that Deng Cuiyun wanted to use tea to flatter him, so he quickly waved his hand and said, "Ma'am, don't bother me. I'm not used to drinking tea, so I'd better keep it. Madam said I bought this tea from a tea house in the western suburbs. If you don’t have any, why don’t you just buy some more?”

Deng Cuiyun shook her head, and said: "It would have been fine before, but now since the owner Lu Yibai died, it is difficult for the Xijiao Tea House to produce such good tea."

"The owner of the Xijiao Tea House died? When did it happen?"

"Probably at the beginning of this year. I heard that he was assassinated to death. The government officials have been investigating for a long time, but there has been no clue."

Hua Lang nodded slightly, and said: "Then what is the relationship between Lu Yibai and your husband Murong Tong?"

"Lu Yibai can be regarded as my husband's elder. He has a very good relationship with my father-in-law, so he has taken care of Murong Tong a lot. It is extremely cheap to buy tea from him. After the father-in-law died, a large part of the tea came from the West. It came from the tea house in the suburbs."

"Has the relationship between Lu Yibai and your husband ever deteriorated?"

Deng Cuiyun shook her head repeatedly, and said: "No, their relationship has always been very good. After my husband disappeared, Lu Yibai brought someone to visit me, and said that he would send someone to help inquire, but who knew that he didn't find out the news. But he was killed." Deng Cuiyun couldn't help feeling sad when she said this.

But at this time, Wen Meng suddenly said: "Will they..." Wen Meng stopped suddenly when she said this, and Deng Cuiyun saw that Wen Meng hesitated to speak, so she quickly grabbed Wen Meng's hand and asked: "Will it be?" Tell them what, Ms. Wen, hurry up and tell me!" Deng Cuiyun looked anxious, and Wen Meng was even more serious, because she thought that Murong Tong and Lu Yibai had such a good relationship, and then disappeared and were killed one after another, so did Murong Tong also have a relationship with Lu Yibai? Like Yibai, has he been killed?

Now that Deng Cuiyun still has hope for her husband, she doesn't want Deng Cuiyun to be sad after hearing her words.

But Wen Meng didn't say anything, Deng Cuiyun was not stupid, she saw Wen Meng's expression like this, she guessed a little bit, so she sent Wen Meng away suddenly, and sat on the chair floating like a fallen leaf from a tree, Then she shook her head again and again: "Impossible, impossible, my husband will be fine, definitely will be fine."

Seeing Wen Meng's words frightened Deng Cuiyun into such a state, Hualang quickly comforted him: "Don't worry, ma'am, before you investigate clearly, you should not think about it. Whether Lu Yibai's death has something to do with your husband, we will discuss it after we investigate." .”

After Deng Cuiyun's mood stabilized, Hua Lang asked again: "There must be a lot of tea sellers in Lintong County here, but is there any shop that is opposite to yours and has a very bad relationship?"

Deng Cuiyun thought for a while, and said: "There is only one, the Yunxiang Building on the east side of the street. The Yunxiang Building, like my tea shop, has been in operation for several generations. When my husband was here, the tea of ​​our two families was almost After dividing up the tea business in Lintong County, everyone buys tea, either at their Yunxiang Building or at our Dayaju."

"Can you cite a few unpleasant things that both sides have had trouble with?"

Deng Cuiyun nodded: "For connoisseurs of tea, one can tell whether it is good or bad by looking at its color, but for ordinary drinkers, it is necessary to taste it to know whether it is good or not, so every spring we both Let passers-by taste it for free to build a reputation. Because of competition, our two families often have free tea tasting on the same day. Of course, for some experts, they really come to taste tea, but for some Well-intentioned people are different. I remember that one year, after we started tea tasting in Dayaju, the people from Yunxiang Building came to make trouble. They hired a few scoundrels to come to taste tea. It tastes bad and slanders our tea vigorously. If there were not a few righteous customers who stood up and spoke for us at that time, our tea business would have dropped a lot!"

"Are there many things like this?"

"Of course there are many. The two are evenly matched in terms of tea, but they both want to dominate one side, so the struggle is going on almost all the time. Since my husband disappeared, I know that a weak woman can't beat them, so it's okay. Give up the shop space."

"I don't know who Madam gave up the shop to?"

"After all, our Dayaju is a big family business. Not many people can afford it. It is Qian Laixi from Lintong County. He has a lot of spare money in his family. He likes drinking tea most in his life. When he learned that I was going to sell the store, he came immediately, and the people from Yunxiang Building also came, but I didn't sell it to them, and finally sold it to Qian Yuanwai."

"What's the price?"

"Please ask the squire to testify, the price is still very fair."

After listening to these Hualang nodded slightly, said: "From what you said, the Yunxiang Building is very suspicious. I wonder how the business of the Yunxiang Building will be after your husband disappeared?"

Deng Cuiyun sighed, and said: "Mr. Qian didn't like doing business very much all his life, so he only handed over Dayaju to his servants, so the business is not as good as before. Now Yunxianglou is the only one."

"Is there any connection between Yunxiang Building and Xijiao Tea House?"

Deng Cuiyun nodded: "Most of the tea leaves in Yunxiang Building now come from tea houses in the western suburbs. After all, although Lu Yibai is dead, his two sons are still there, and his two sons are extremely business-minded. , the quality of the tea has declined, but the market has increased a lot. Tong Le, the owner of Yunxiang Building, established a business relationship with the Xijiao Tea House after my husband disappeared for three months. They, after my husband was gone, their tea farm in the western suburbs lost a lot of business, so they had to find a new buyer, and the only place near Lintong that can meet the needs of Daya Residence is Yunxiang Building."

After hearing this, everyone felt that the people in Yunxianglou were suspicious. Maybe the disappearance of Murongtong was caused by the people in Yunxianglou.

It's just that when thinking about this, everyone felt a little uneasy in their hearts. If Murong Tong was really lost by Yunxianglou, then Murong Tong might be in danger now.

Hwarang didn't want Deng Cuiyun to think too much, so he quickly changed the subject.
