Chapter 337 Fish Ball Soup (2)
"Master himself can do some punching and kicking, so it's easy to deal with one or two ordinary thieves." The guard said hurriedly after hearing this, paused, and then said, "Besides, the master doesn't always take me to wait for you." When we go out, we usually follow, only going to places like brothels and taverns, it's not convenient to follow."
Lin Fei nodded, this explanation is not unreasonable.
The guard looked at Lin Fei who nodded slightly, smiled wryly, and said, "My lord, I have nothing else to do except conceal these things." As he spoke, he seemed to be afraid that Lin Fei would not believe him, so he hurriedly said, "I Waiting is just a job to earn a living and earn some money. My master is being killed now, so there is really no need to hide it. Besides, I have been working for so many years, and I am not a grass. My master treats me very well on weekdays. I also have some affection for the master, and I hope that the adults can find out the matter and give the master justice."
There are indeed many enemies like Shi Funian, but it was a coincidence that Shi Funian appeared in that place last night and happened to bump into the drunken master.
These guards really had no reason to hide any more, but what the guards said reminded Lin Fei.
"Liu Sanqing never takes you to places like brothels and taverns on weekdays?" Lin Fei asked him.
These words sounded like nonsense at first glance, but the guard still nodded and replied, "That's right, the master won't take us with him."
Hearing this, Liu Yuan took a step forward and whispered to Lin Fei: "Lin Shaoqing, Liu Sanqing also went out to socialize alone on the day of the mid-autumn cruise along the Weishui River, which is consistent with what they said."
Lin Fei nodded, "Yes", and then asked the guard: "How is your master's alcohol tolerance? Have you ever drank so much that you can't even fight back?"
As soon as these words came out, the guard and the steward beside him were stunned in unison.
The guard was stunned, and murmured: "I didn't pay attention to this before. When the master is away from home and has nothing to do, he will often sympathize with me and let me wait to go home and rest. He is a good master. In my impression, it seems that I have never When I was drunk until I was told to wait for the guards to pick them up."
In this matter, the guards only know whether to pick up people or not, but the steward will be more clear.
The steward at the side murmured when Lin Fei asked these questions. As soon as the guard's voice fell, he said: "I have been serving as the steward for the master for nearly 20 years, and the master must have entertainment in business. This amount of alcohol...Actually Very nice."
Of course, no matter how good it is, there will be times when you get drunk even if you drink a lot of wine.
"I remember that every New Year's day, the master drank a lot, but his face was red, and his speech was a little awkward. There are some people who walk slower than usual, but they don't seem to have no strength..." The steward pondered, "The place where the master's accident happened is indeed the only way to go back to the mansion from the brothel. I also recognize this way, and I can walk back by myself. This..." The steward shook his head and smiled wryly, "It's really not good. Easy to say."
Being able to walk by himself shows that he still has some strength, but how much strength is there, it is hard to say whether Shi Funian will be able to fight back when he comes out from the dark.
Although he didn't fool Lin Fei and the others, he was also thinking about it seriously, but the steward and the guard knew that the evidence he provided was the same as saying the same, so he couldn't help but feel guilty: "Master is usually a very assertive master. Leave chores and side matters to me, but major matters, such as matters above business, are mostly decided by yourself. Sometimes when discussing important business, you don’t even bring me to wait. You go out suddenly and talk about it when you come back. It's over."
Feng Tongshi's seat came suddenly, and it was unclear; Mao Guanshi's money also came in an unknown way, and there is nowhere to check it. Now, there is another Liu Sanqing, and the same is true for the business talk.
Lin Fei shook his head, signaled Liu Yuan and Bai Zhu not to speak for the time being, and turned to ask the manager with a wry smile: "What kind of business is it that the masters you said went out suddenly and finished the conversation when they came back? "
The steward thought about it carefully, and said: "I didn't pay much attention to this before. Although the master treated me well, he told me to remember to 'be cautious in words and deeds' long before he recruited me. I know it myself. If you shouldn’t ask, you can’t ask more, and you can’t do more, so you didn’t pay attention to this.”
Of course, even if you don't pay attention, Liu Sanqing can't do things like moving stones by himself, so it's not that easy to completely hide it.
The steward said: "I can't remember every such sudden business deal, but this year's two sudden deals were done before the rough stones were sold. Someone bought a batch of rough stones in advance. One piece was chosen by the master himself." The steward said with a smile, "I don't know what the result will be. Although I haven't heard any news of beautiful jade, but I think there should be some."
They don't understand stone gambling, and they don't understand these things. However, among the rough stones in Liu Sanqing's hands, there will always be some jade from each batch, some are good and some are bad, so every time they go to the stall, the rough stones are always sold out quickly.
Before Lin Fei could open his mouth, the manager took the initiative to reveal the buyers of the two deals: "Who are the two masters? Wait for me to write it down and share it with your lord." As he spoke, he searched for someone to fetch a pen and paper.
Lin Fei nodded and said "Thank you".
Liu Yuan and Bai Zhu who were behind him also breathed a sigh of relief at this time: If you have the address, go to the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion to check and you will know who the owner of this Zhuangzi is.
It was what the steward said that reminded Liu Yuan. Seeing Lin Fei nodding slightly, Liu Yuan coughed quickly and asked the steward, "Where is your master's daily business account book, can you show it to me?"
When Liu Sanqing was alive, the stewards and guards dared not say much because of affection and livelihood. Now that Liu Sanqing is dead, the account book can be brought out.
The clinker manager shook his head when he heard the words, not only him, but even the guards who were called to the side also shook their heads.
The steward said: "Our master does not keep accounts when doing business."
Is there such a thing? Liu Yuan was instinctively taken aback when he heard the words: How could it be possible not to keep accounts when doing business?
"It's true. If you don't believe me, you can visit and ask." The steward said, pointing to his head, and explained, "My master has always had a good memory. He never kept accounts, even if they were decades ago. If you mention it, you can immediately remember it, everyone who has dealt with the master knows this."
Bai Zhu on the side wrote down the matter, since the steward dared to say so, then the matter was probably true, but he had to check it later.
It's a bit surprising that Liu Sanqing, a stone gambler, has such a good memory. Thinking this way, Bai Zhu glanced at Lin Fei at the side: Lin Shaoqing is the only one in Dali Temple who can never forget.
It would be a pity if this Liu Sanqing's special ability was only used for his own business, and it would always give people a feeling that things are not being used to their full potential.
