Chapter 579 Progress

Jian Liang then said to Jian Rou, "Your brother is trying to get close to the young clan leader, so sometimes he needs to be cautious. But you are just trying to get close to a Bi Dian, so you don't need to be as cautious as your brother. You should use all the methods you can."

"Dad, don't worry, of course I understand." Jian Rou said.

[Chapter 103]

A few days later, Tie Hongyan discussed with several of his men about Zuo Youqun poisoning her, someone drugging Yueyun, and Xie Hui's disappearance. After analyzing the various information they had obtained, they had been discussing these matters together from time to time.

Just when they thought it would be difficult to make further breakthroughs, a subordinate came in with a blanket and reported that there was new progress in the investigation. He said: "We have found out that Zuo Youqun was raised by her sister. Her sister's name is Zuo Youtang."

"Who did you get the news from?" Tie Hongyan asked.

"From a merchant named Ao Gong. He used to be a Taoist priest, but later turned into a businessman." said the subordinate.

Tie Hongyan asked: "How did Ao Gong know this?"

"We asked. But...but he didn't tell us." The subordinate looked a little nervous when he said this.

Tie Hongyan thought: I don't know whether the news that Zuo Youqun was raised by his sister Zuo Youtang is true or not. If what Ao Gong said is true, it proves that he is not a person who refuses to say anything. Although he didn't say how he knew it, maybe there is a way to make him talk.

She saw that her subordinates were a little nervous and said, "I understand that it is not up to you to decide how much information we can get." The subordinates felt relieved after hearing this.

She asked, "Did he tell you the news that Zuo Youqun was raised by his sister Zuo Youtang as soon as you asked him?"

"No. When we first asked him, not only did he not tell us the news, he also asked us if we were asking on behalf of someone else. He said that if we were asking on behalf of someone else, as long as the question was asked, it would be bad for us and the person who sent us to ask. We asked why it was bad, and he said there would be disaster. But we had already asked at that time, and once the question was asked, it could not be taken back. He said that if we wanted to eliminate disasters, we had to go to the "magic table" in his house, pay him to perform a ritual and buy some of the things he sold. After the ritual, not only could the disasters be eliminated for us and the person who sent us to ask, but we could also get some information about the questions we had already asked." said the subordinate.

Tie Hongyan smiled and said, "It sounds like they are taking advantage of the opportunity to make a profit."

"We thought so too, but we were afraid of bringing disaster to the young patriarch, and we also wanted to get as much information as possible for him, so we agreed to him. We bought this blanket from him." The subordinate handed the blanket to her.

She took the blanket and looked at it, and found that it looked very much like the blanket she had found in the garbage dump a few days ago and used to wrap the fragments of the wine jar, except that this one was new.

She said, "Is this the only thing you bought?"

"Yes, this one is already priced at a sky-high price. He said that the blanket was imported from outside the Tiecang tribe, and he is the only one in the entire Tiecang tribe who can get the goods from there. In the territory of the Tiecang tribe, it is generally impossible to buy it from others. Even if you buy it from others, that person must have bought it from him and then resold it." said the subordinate.

Tie Hongyan said: "Leave the blanket here with me. I will give you the money for the blanket and for asking Ao Gong to perform the ritual later." Then she asked about the situation during the ritual, and the subordinate reported everything in detail.
