Ning Dao Covered with Snow

Chapter 68 Tracking
The stubborn person Yan Ciwan mentioned was none other than the judicial assistant Wei Lansheng.

This man is honest by nature, and he only cares about the truth and the law. Others would not dare to say much because they are afraid of the power of the governor, but he would not.

When Yan Ciwan came to him again, he didn't hesitate and told him everything he knew.

"The real owner behind Xueyue Tower is indeed Qi Ming. Xueyue Tower has a close relationship with Changming Chamber of Commerce. I once suspected that they were secretly colluding with officials. But I checked Xueyue Tower's accounts, and they are very clean. Not a penny of tax was paid, and the purchase channels were clearly written. There is nothing wrong with it."

Yan Ci Wan was deeply impressed. You are really worthy of being Wei Tietou. As long as you have any suspicion, you must investigate it thoroughly, even if the target is the beloved son of your immediate boss.

She suggested, "Xueyue Tower is a rope connecting Qi Ming and Changming Chamber of Commerce. If we only investigate this rope, we will definitely not find anything. We have to investigate the Changming Chamber of Commerce behind Xueyue Tower."

Wei Lansheng frowned: "The most important thing for us right now is to investigate the serial rape and murder case and find Chao Erniang as soon as possible. Other things can only be put aside for the time being."

"Don't worry, I won't take up too much of your time. You just need to tell me what industries Changming Chamber of Commerce has in Xiangzhou." Yan Ciwan clasped his hands together. "Please, please!"

Wei Lansheng didn't understand why she was suddenly interested in Changming Chamber of Commerce? But there was no harm in investigating Changming Chamber of Commerce. If clues of collusion between officials and businessmen could be found, it would be a good thing for the country and the people.

So he said, "We have to go to the library and look through the books."

Yan Ciwan immediately said: "I'll go with you!"

Jiageku is located in the southwest corner of the government office. It is a secluded place with few people coming. The clerk in charge of managing Jiageku saw Wei Lansheng bringing an outsider in and tried to stop them.

Yan Ciwan directly took out the token of the Inner Guard Palace and placed it in front of the other party.

The clerk immediately shut up and stepped aside.

Yan Ciwan put away the token and walked inside with Wei Lansheng.

Among the vast ocean of books, the two found the property records of Changming Chamber of Commerce in Xiangzhou City. There was only one place, which was the Xuanji Pharmacy in the city.

Medicinal materials are among the main business scope of Changming Chamber of Commerce, so it is common for it to open a medicine shop in Xiangzhou.

But what Yan Ciwan was concerned about was that the name of the registered owner of Xuanji Pharmacy was very familiar. It was He Chunzhuo, a man with a mysterious origin!
She then found the relevant books of Xueyue Tower and discovered that the name written in the column for all the people in Xueyue Tower was also He Chunzhuo.

Yan Ciwan stared at the three clear words "He Chunzhuo" on the yellowed page.

Yunniang once said that the nominal owner of Xueyue Tower was a businessman named He. At that time, Yan Ciwan was a little suspicious. Could this He be the He Chunzhuo she knew?
It now seems that Yan Ciwan guessed right.

It is no coincidence that He Chunzhuo appeared in Xiangzhou. This person has a great background!
She really wanted to know whether this person was responsible for her mother's sudden worsening of her condition.
"Madam Ning." Wei Lansheng couldn't help but frown when he saw that she was staring at the book in her hand and didn't respond when he called her.

He followed her gaze and saw that the page contained Xueyue Tower's registration information with the government. There was nothing special about it.

Wei Lansheng called out again: "Madam Ning!"

Yan Ciwan came back to his senses: "What's the matter?"

"We should go."

"Oh well."

Yan Ciwan put the books back on the bookshelf and left the library with Wei Lansheng.

Wei Lansheng had many things to do and was too busy to see her off from the government office. The two were about to separate at a fork in the road, and Wei Lansheng reminded her, "If you find any other clues, be sure to let me know. I'm still trying to track down Chao Erniang's whereabouts, and I'll let you know as soon as I have any news."

"Okay, I'll leave first."

After Yan Ciwan left the government office, she did not go directly back to the official post station. Instead, she made a detour to Xuanji Pharmacy.

As one of the largest pharmacies in the city, Xuanji Pharmacy has an endless stream of customers coming here to get medicine every day. As soon as Yan Ciwan entered the store, a clerk came up to her enthusiastically and asked her whether she wanted to consult a doctor or get medicine.
Yan Ciwan said he wanted to buy some medicine for external injuries.

The waiter asked if he had any prescriptions, but Yan Ciwan shook his head and said no.

The waiter was very considerate: "Don't just randomly prescribe medicine. It's better to ask the doctor to examine it and write a prescription. It will be safer for us to prescribe the medicine according to the prescription."

As he spoke, he pointed to the front, where there were two doctors on duty, examining patients in order of their waiting time.

Yan Ciwan followed the waiter's instructions and stood at the back of the line. Perhaps because she was young and beautiful, the waiter was particularly attentive. He not only moved a stool for her so that she could sit and wait in line, but also brought her a cup of warm water.

She thanked the other party and asked what his name was.
The guy scratched his head and smiled innocently: "My last name is Chen, and I am the fifth child in my family. You can just call me Chen Wu."

Yan Ciwan smiled sweetly: "Wulang, your business is really good here, you must be very busy every day, right?"

"It's okay, I'm used to it."

"I heard that the owner of your clinic is not a local. It's really amazing that an outsider can open such a large medicine shop here."

"Yes, our boss is from Nandu. I heard that he has never lost money in business. It's no different from the God of Wealth who came down to earth."

Yan Ciwan showed admiration on his face: "I have never seen such a great businessman."

"He is usually very busy and usually doesn't come to the pharmacy. Not to mention you, even people like us in the shop rarely see him."

Yan Ciwan was very disappointed: "Well, I'm unlucky."

The shopkeeper not far away suddenly shouted.

"Chen Wu! Don't you see how busy the store is? You actually still have time to chat with the young lady? You don't want to eat tonight, do you?!"

Chen Wu shrank his neck, said goodbye to Yan Ciwan awkwardly, and then hurried off to work.

Yan Ciwan moved forward along with the team.

It took half an hour before I finished seeing the doctor and got the medicine.

At this moment, the sun is setting and the sky is filled with orange-red sunset glow.

Yan Ciwan walked over the threshold of the medicine shop, holding the medicinal herbs wrapped in oil paper in one hand and holding up her skirt with the other.

Chen Wu saw her out earnestly, giving her some instructions.

"Young lady, remember to take and change your medicine on time when you go back. If you have any problems with the medication, you can come back to us at any time. Please walk slowly and be careful of the steps."

Yan Ciwan turned around and smiled at him: "Thank you for your help today."

Chen Wu's eyes were dazzled by her charming and bright smile, and a silly smile appeared on his face again.

Yan Ciwan was walking on the street carrying a bag of medicine.

She secretly thought about He Chunzhuo. Chen Wu said that He Chunzhuo was from Nandu, but as far as she could remember, there was no aristocratic family with the surname He in Nandu.

But if He Chunzhuo had not come from a noble family, how could he have come up with so much money to do business?

Moreover, Chen Wu said that He Chunzhuo had never failed in business. If no one helped him, how could his business be so successful?
Yan Ciwan was thinking and suddenly stopped.

She felt like someone was following her!
